ASSESSING CRIMINOLOGY STUDENT’S ROLE IN MITIGATING CLIMATE CHANGE AND PRESERVING A GREEN ENVIRONMENT
No full textUndergraduate thesisClimate change needs to be drastically reduced, and more needs to be done to help
people adapt to it. Humanity is currently experiencing a climate emergency. In our
time, it’s necessary that every one of us must do our part in climate mitigation and
preserving a green environment. The abilities of young people to mitigate and, in
particular, adapt to the changes brought about by climate change have not received
much attention in studies up to this point. The complex climate change issues of
mitigation and preservation are conceptually difficult for young people because
climate change is not directly evidenced in their daily lives. This study focuses on
looking at mitigation and green environmental preservation from the perspective of
the students. Meaning-making coping strategies, enable the maintenance of green
preservation and addressing potential issues that contributes to climate change. This
thesis paper uses a quantitative method and is focused mainly on two variables:
assessing criminology students of the University of Mindanao in mitigating climate
change and preserving a green environment. A research sampling was done on 400
random respondents in the University of Mindanao, Matina Campus Davao City. The
result shows that there is a significant relationship between the role of criminology
students in mitigating climate change and preserving a green environment (r=.416,
p<00.1). This indicates that criminology students of UM have a high tendency to
prevent and mitigate climate change and they are also highly knowledgeable about
preserving a green environment.

A comparative analysis of interest rate among all ASEAN countries
Get PDFIn Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Business Administration Major in Financial ManagementThis research conducts a comparative analysis of interest rates among the ASEAN countries, focusing on examining the trends and determinants of interest rates within the region. The study encompasses ten ASEAN countries, exploring the relationships between interest rates and key factors such as economic growth, savings, and unemployment. Literature has proved the correlation of the determinants to the Interest Rates. Panel Regression techniques such as the Hausman Fixed and Random Test (Sigmamore) evaluate its variation and the Breusch and Pagan Lagrangian Multiplier Test that if a regression model exhibits signs of heteroscedasticity. The results indicate a strong association between unemployment rates and real interest rates, while GDP growth shows no significant effect on interest rates. Savings exhibit a negative correlation with real interest rates. The findings support the overall objectives of the study. The insights gleaned from this research provide valuable information for policymakers in crafting tailored economic policies to address the unique challenges and opportunities present across ASEAN countries. By leveraging these findings, governments can make informed decisions to enhance economic stability and productivity
Used of waste annealed glass as admixture for concrete finishing
No full textIn Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science in Civil EngineeringEvery year, one million tons of waste glass are created worldwide; because it cannot decompose, it pollutes the environment. Nevertheless, because of its chemical composition, scrap glass is recommended for concrete production as a partial substitute for binding or filler (aggregate) materials. The usefulness of annealed glass as an additive for concrete finishing is investigated in this study. Using glass as an admixture material in construction may lessen the need for natural aggregates, allowing the environment to recover from extensive quarrying and preventing lasting harm. The study's findings significantly impact the construction industry. Glasses are broken up, sieved, and divided into fine and coarse particles. Mix proportioning uses ASTM standards, which call for nominal concrete mix proportions of 1:3 and 0.50 water-to-cement ratio. Different percentages are used to augment the amount of natural aggregates: 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%. The characteristics of glass and natural aggregates were examined in a lab setting. Every mixture has a 28-day curing period and five test samples. Each sample undergoes compressive and bond strength tests after the curing period. According to the compressive strength test, every mixture met the required minimum compressive strength of 1847.8 psi. Out of five mixtures, the results of the bond strength test indicate that two of the combinations achieved the minimum bond test strength of 365.617N or 26.16 psi. The mix with the maximum compressive strength (above 2081.3 psi) and bond strength (average of 377.49N) has the highest P-value of all the mixes, according to a statistical analysis of the results for both tests using the T-Test. As a result, 10% was the ideal proportion in both experiments for crushed annealed glass, which works well as an additive in concrete finishing

THE PERFORMANCE OF MADRE DE CACAO (GLIRICIDIA SEPIUM) FIBER AS WOOD FIBER INSULATION BOARD
No full textUndergraduate thesesThis study focuses on examining the performance of Madre de Cacao as wood fiber
insulation board. Madre de Cacao is a fast-growing tree growing to various regions,
including Davao City. The utilization of Madre de Cacao fiber has potential in providing
environmentally friendly solution by using a renewable resource that would otherwise go
to waste or rejected. A natural fiber is derived from the Madre de Cacao tree, scientifically
known as Gliricidia Sepium. This study aims to investigate the performance of Madre de
Cacao fiber as a wood fiber insulation board specifically its’ thermal conductivity, thermal
resistance, flammability, modulus of elasticity and rupture. Madre de Cacao are collected
from the field. Barks are separated after cutting down the trees. Barks are soaked in a
container for 3 weeks and washed thoroughly until the fibers are out and dried. In its dry
state, the epoxy resin is poured gradually in a form of 150mm x 300mm x 8mm fiber board.
There are 5 different mixtures (M-1, M-2, M-3, M-4, & M-5) comprising different amount
of resin and fiber. The use of resin in the combination will produces a High-Density Fiber
Board. Major qualities of an insulation board were tested to measure the performance of
the Madre de Cacao Fiber Board. These tests include Thermal Conductivity Test (ASTM
C411), Flammability Test (ASTM E84), Modulus of Elasticity, and Modulus of Rupture
Test (ASTM C356). For thermal conductivity, a scaled room where 5 different mixture of
Madre de Cacao Fiber insulation, PE insulation is applied and the other room is un insulation has become a way measure the differences in temperature. Temperatures are
recorded between 12PM-1PM and 3PM-4PM. M-3 has the lowest recorded temperature
among the 5 mixtures. the Results showed that the room insulated with Madre de Cacao
Fiber has a lower temperature than the PE Insulation. For flammability, 5 samples are
exposed to fire for 1 minute. Weight loss and burned areas are tallied. The results from M1
to M5 are 22.96, 26.24, 29.52, 45.92, and 78.72. Only M5 has reached Class C which mean
this mixture can ignite fire and spread fast. For Modulus of Elasticity, the 5 samples carried
a loading bar with 4.5kg increment and deformation are recorded. M-4 and M-5 have MOE
of 2.4GPa and 1.8GPa and fails to meet ISO 8335-1987 standard while the rest passed of
the mixture have passed. For Modulus of Rupture, 5 samples were taken to QSTI for
compressive strength test. All the mixtures have satisfied ISO 8335-1987 standard. Among
the five mixtures. M-3 is the most optimum and recommended mixture. Therefore, Madre
v
de Cacao Fiber can be recognized as an effective alternative for wood fiber insulation
board.
