Public concerns on environmental injustices in Davao city: basis for intervention program/
No full textThis paper examines the public concern on environmental injustices and the
effects of solid waste disposal and air pollution on ecological preservation in
selected Barangay of Davao City. A simple random sampling method was used
to distribute the questionnaire to the respondents, and the researchers also
surveyed an intended number of respondents. There are four hundred (400)
respondents to this study, and the respondents are from Barangay Buhangin,
Matina Aplaya, and Tugbok, of Davao City. This study revealed that residents
in general have good concerns in a healthy and clean environment. Citizens
should learn and practice how to maintain solid waste management to lessen
air pollution and achieve a healthy environment. One method of managing solid
waste is called "segregation of source," which entails sorting trash at the point
of generation. This study aims to have an idea of how three selected barangays
are concerned about their environment and to assess the level of environmental
injustices in Davao City. This issue has significant environmental and health
impacts on communities, as improperly disposed waste can contaminate air,
water, and soil, leading to diseases, pollution, and other environmental
problems.

Bachelor of Science in Business Administration
Major in Marketing ManagementDeceptive advertisements start when a firm or company supports its product or services with the help of misleading, untrue, or confusing statements. In today's competitive business environment, deceptive advertisements influence purchase decisions among customers. This study aims to understand the influence of deceptive advertisements on consumers’ brand trust, especially in the dietary supplement sector. The participants of this study were a hundred residents of Davao City who were selected using purposive sampling. The questionnaire used in the study was adapted and modified. A descriptive method was utilized to distribute questionnaires and collect and gather the data for this study. The statistical tools employed in treating the problem were mean and Chi-Square. It has been revealed in the study that fake claims have the highest mean among other indicators, which implies that consumers most likely believe that a fake claim is more compelling and has persuaded them to acquire dietary products and that fake claims have significantly impacted the number of deceptive advertisements and consumer brand trust. Spearman's rank correlation has been used to examine the impact of misleading advertising on customers' brand trust, which showed that the three indicators of deceptive advertisements, namely fake claims, deceptive prices, and puffery, have an enormous effect on customer trust in the brand. Based on the result, researchers recommended that businesses improve their products, be open to more ideas that will not compromise consumers and offer great value in terms of choice
Assessment of Ma-a creek along Purok Kapundok : basis for diversion and design improvement
No full textIn Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science in Civil EngineeringFlooding has been a national concern in the Philippines, with high chances to occur during typhoons and may happen in the future due to rapid urban development. Flood risk reduction strategies can be enhanced by a diversion channel, increasing the waterway's capacity, or a closed diversion canal. The assessment of Maa Creek along Purok Kapundok: the basis for diversion or design improvement is a critical study that assesses the current state of the creek and the measures that can be taken to mitigate or reduce the flood discharge, even so, improve the functionality of the vicinity. The study gathered essential data, including the creek's geometry and dimensions, water flow data, and more. Following, HEC-RAS is utilized to simulate and compare the existing channel and the proposed diversion channel. The results of HEC-RAS steady flow modeling
found that a diversion shortcut will further increase the water flow, thus, reducing the water elevation. Also, incorporating culverts in the diversion will add to the area's functionality. Simulating the flow that is critical for the creek, gathered hydrological data from the year 2018 is used for the unsteady flow. Here, it is found that water surface elevation reaches up to 3.12 meters high. In addition, results from sediment analysis of the proposed diversion show that invert siltation will increase by 0.95 meters in 1 year. In conclusion, a diversion shortcut with culverts reduces water surface elevation because of improved water discharge. Nevertheless, the design capacity is enough, and the future capacity may be reduced due to the siltation. It is essential to conduct regular monitoring and assessment of sediment build-up to sustain the correct water depth and prevent flooding
Utilization of sound energy to power various street safety devices
No full textIn Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science in Electrical EngineeringDifferent types of renewable energy are used today. Some are used daily, such as solar, hydro, and wind. However, things such as Sound Waves, Tidal Waves, and many others are used sparingly, such as the others. Using those renewable types of energy that are not frequently used today can turn the world much better. To utilize sound, the researchers have created a way to produce electricity using sound from different sources.
Using a Safety Device is perfect due to its availability on various roadways where noise is present. The researchers used 3D modeling to create an enclosure for their device along with the use of PCB design to use sound to power the LED for the Safety Device. The researchers tested their device to prove it successful, producing significant results per this study's objective. The device was able to be used while charging, and the percentage of the LED working is less than the number of the percentage of the device's charge per day. Therefore, they have created a Sound-Powered Safety Device equipped with a blinking LED Light
Research Agenda: Sustainable Cities
No full textIn recent years, the built environment has begun to prioritize well-being increasingly. A challenge is to comprehend better how our built environment generally affects health and to create communities that support physical and mental health in the future. Public health has historically targeted the built environment to address particular health concerns, including sanitization, indoor quality, workplace safety, fire regulations, and visual impact. We now understand that resolving many of the nation's top public health challenges may greatly impact how the built environment is designed. This study aims to find out if the Tagum City Trade and Cultural Center's built environment helps create a comfortable environment for its users. Additionally, it aims to analyze and assess the residents' impressions of their experiences and points of view in quantitative and qualitative research and how such viewpoints affect their well-being. The researchers utilized the Key Performance Indicator to divide 44 metrics among 14 predetermined criteria. These measures identify the issues and provide guidelines for future restoration projects to make the structure fit for modern living while also taking care of the well-being of the occupants
The properties of fiber cement board affected by abaca fiber and pineapple leaf fiber
No full textIn Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science in Civil EngineeringThe Philippines is the top producer of natural fibers globally. This production of abaca and pineapple leaf fiber increased as time passed by. However, applying these fibers is limited and needs further studies to utilize them efficiently. This study introduced the usage of treated Abaca fiber and Pineapple leaf fiber (AFPLF) by incorporating it into cement boards and evaluating fiber cement boards' physical and mechanical properties (FCB). This study's experimental results showed a significant increase in compression strength in 5% fiber
reinforcement, higher than the compression capacity of cement board without Fiber. In addition, the physical properties of the cement board reinforced with Abaca fiber and Pineapple leaf fiber (AFPLF) showed good characteristics in terms of drilling, impact, density, and water absorption tests. The cement board reinforced with 5% Abaca fiber and Pineapple leaf fiber (AFPLF) produces the best results regarding the fiber cement board's physical and mechanical aspects
