Career preference of criminology students of the University of Mindanao among tri-bureau agency : multinomial analysis /
No full textCareer preferences are vital decisions for students. In choosing which Tri
Bureau agency to work for, there are many factors that students need to
consider. The Study used multinomial analysis to determine the career
preferences of criminology students at the University of Mindanao among Tri
Bureau agencies. Data was collected from 300 randomly selected Criminology
students. Using a descriptive survey method, the Study disclosed that the most
preferred agencies are the PNP, BPF, and BJMP. 49.30% of respondents
identified themselves as having their dream job enforcing the law, preventing
and controlling crimes, and maintaining peace and order. 34.70% of the
respondents anticipated carrying the duty to protect the people and their
property against the fires.
Furthermore, 16.00% of respondents visualized working under direct
supervision in jail management. The multinomial analysis found that age,
gender, influence of Family and friends, socioeconomic, and personal interests
do not predict their career preferences. This Study recommends the following:
future researchers, future criminology students, the guidance personnel, the
community, and parents of the Philippine National Police (PNP), Bureau of Fire
and Protection (BFP), and the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology
(BJMP). These aim to help you set professional goals and development
strategies for getting where you want to be

Take it or lep it!: Stories in interpreting disaster warning announcements
No full textLanguage is a tool for communication, and it serves many other purposes in Zand disasters. This study aims to investigate the challenges of mothers living in a disaster-prone area in Panabo City in interpreting disaster warning announcements as they do have unique role in securing the security and safety of their family during disaster emergency situations. The participants were only ten (10) to be utilized in a phenomenological study. This study used qualitative phenomenological research design to acquire significant insights. Further, the results of this study show that mothers experience challenges in interpreting disaster warning announcements, lack of English language exposure, difficulties in interpreting words and terminologies used in disaster announcements, and anxiety of mothers. However, this challenge for mothers were coped by applying varying strategies, gathering information from the available resources, achieving confidence in the sourced information, and situational adaptation. These generated findings may help the mothers, government and non-government organizations, and future researchers as a basis to provide solutions and recommendations on how to deal with interpreting English disaster warning announcements
An experimental study on the use of banana peel extract (Musa Acuminata Colla) as corrosion inhibitor for low-carbon steel
No full textIn Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science in Civil EngineeringA class of steel alloys known as low-carbon steel is distinguished by having a low carbon percentage. It is renowned for its excellent ductility and malleability, making shaping, forming, and welding simple. Because of these characteristics, low-carbon steels are perfect for applications like construction materials and industries where a lot of shape or deformation is needed. Despite being well known for these qualities, low-carbon steel is prone to corrosion, which may impair its integrity over time. Various corrosion protection methods are employed in the construction industry to address this issue. However, commercially made protective coatings pose a danger and harm to the environment. This study aims to create a green corrosion inhibitor from the extracts of banana peels to be used for low-carbon steel coating as well as to assess its optimum inhibition efficiency using various inhibitor concentrations (0.2 g/mL, 0.4g/mL, 0.6 g/mL), and effects on the steel surface after undergoing immersion in 0.1 M HCl and 0.1 M H2SO4. The experimental results obtained from this study showed that 0.6 g/mL had the highest inhibition efficiency (IE) among all concentrations, peaking at 45.89% and 61.80%, respectively. The corrosion rate demonstrated that the highest inhibitor concentration also produced the lowest corrosion rate of steel plates, with SEM analysis providing additional verification of the external surface of the corroded specimen. FTIR analysis was also conducted to determine the functional groups in the banana peels responsible for their corrosion inhibition properties. Banana peel extract was proven to be an effective corrosion inhibitor for low- carbon steel, which also established a step towards sustainable development

People cannot live life without problems, conflicts exist to test our abilities, that will make us discover new ideas that will mold us into a better version of our selves. We are the drivers of our own lives, the way we control the steering wheel, we may turn left or turn right, might have temporary pauses but still continue to explore the route for the fuel tank might get low or even empty but there are several refilling stations that will allow us to be replenished. And eventually resume in the venture forth on our individual voyages
Work ethics as predictor to job performance among millennials
No full textIn Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master in ManagementAlmost half of the population in the workplaces today are millennials nowadays whether in private or public organizations. Millennials are known to be narcissists and demanding. There were studies that mentioned that they cannot be an effective part of the workforce due to their poor work ethics. This study aimed to predict the millennials’ work ethics influence on job performance. The researcher used a quantitative non-experimental research design using the causal effect to identify the level of work ethics whether it is high or low. The respondents of the study are the 350 millennials working in the local government units in the first-class municipalities of Davao de Oro. Statistical analyses used Mean, Pearson R and Linear Regression. The results had shown that the work ethics in terms of Self-reliance, Morality, Leisure, Hard Work, Work Centrality Wasted Time, Delay of Gratification have an overall of 4.13 which is very high which further means that the work ethics of the millennials is very much observed. The lowest mean is Leisure with 3.37 and the highest mean is Work Centrality with 4.43. The study shows that there is a significant relationship between Work ethics and Job performance. Thus, the efforts on improving employee performance will no longer rely on compensation and reward system but instead focusing on work ethics too.xi, 68 page
