Behavior of a 24 volts sawtooth in a single-phase transformer
No full textIn Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science in Electrical EngineeringIncludes bibliographic referencesThis research determines the Sawtooth’s behavior in a single-phase transformer. The sawtooth wave is a non-sinusoidal waveform. The rise time is higher than its fall of time, vice versa, by less than 50 per cent of the duty cycle. Otherwise, in reverse sawtooth waves, the wave slopes descend and afterwards pointedly rise with a constant current. The commonly used to produce a sawtooth wave generator is an operational amplifier. The sequence is from DC supply, the comparator output is square wave to rectangular wave, and input to the integrator, the result is the integral of the information concerning time. Therefore, the output wave is sawtooth. Apply a sawtooth wave in the transformer and determine the output. The transformer principle only AC will pass, and base in the inductance formula Ldi/dt. The first degree of constant current is zero; therefore, the output must be semi sine or sine wave.vi, 24 page
Strategic management and productivity of NCCC supermarket at Babak District, Samal
No full textStrategic management is all about identifying and describing the strategies that managers may use to improve their organization's performance and gain a competitive edge. If an organization's profitability exceeds that of all other organizations in its industry, it is considered to have a competitive advantage. The manager must thoroughly understand and analyze the overall and competitive organizational environment to make the best judgements. The amount of output divided by the volume of inputs is frequently referred to as productivity. In other words, it evaluates the efficiency with which production inputs are used. It also allows analysts to calculate capacity utilization, which helps them assess the position of economies in the economic cycle and forecast future growth. In this study entitled "strategic management and productivity," the researchers found out that level of strategic management and the level of productivity got a very high descriptive level with an overall result of mean scores at 4.57 and 4.58. This means that strategic management is always considered and applied by NCCC, resulting in good productivity. We also found out the overall results of strategic management and productivity with an r-value of 0.933 with a p-value of 0.00, which shows a solid correlation

Geospatial mapping of ambient air quality & vulnerability of urban areas in Davao City
No full textIn Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Environmental ScienceIn recent years, industrial production and anthropogenic activities increased the concentration of air pollutants, exacerbating ambient air pollution. Ambient air pollution is considered a significant environmental problem and detrimental to human health. The Philippines is one of the fastest urbanizing countries in East Asia and Davao City is one of the highest and most competitive industrialized cities in the country. Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer- aided technology used to visualize and map the spatiotemporal variation of air quality levels. In this study, the data of the four parameters, particulate matter 10 (PM10), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and ground-level ozone (O3) from the five (5) air quality monitoring stations (DC Stations 2, 7, 11, 14, 15) in Davao City were map using the Inverse Distance Weighting interpolation method. Subsequently, the four maps were overlaid to create an ambient air vulnerability map. Based on the findings, this study conclude that all of the monitoring stations in the city had greatly exceeded the Global Air Quality Guideline Values (GAAQGV) set by the World Health Organization for PM10 and NO2, except for SO2 and O3. Moreover, most stations had increased the concentration of the four pollutants. The vulnerability maps revealed that 23,928 structures are affected within the 1km buffer. There are 13,035 (54.48%) structures considered to be very highly vulnerable, 5,547 (23.18%) are highly vulnerable, 3,078 (12.86%) are moderately vulnerable, and 2,268 (9.48%) are very lowly vulnerable. A big part of the city is classified as highly vulnerable, with only the areas located around Station 3 classified as lowly vulnerable and Station 1 as moderately vulnerable. With this, it indicates that implementing policies that ensure clean and ambient air must be strongly enforced in the community to address the problem of ambient air pollution
Financial challenges and coping mechanisms among 4P's beneficiaries during pandemic
No full textIn Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in PsychologyIn this globalizing society, education is a vital tool we can use to influence the world, as well as a tool for self-improvement. However, education can be a high-cost social need that needs financial support in order to pursue learning. Considering that the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the shift to online learning and contributed to the students’ financial distress, the researchers aim to provide information regarding the degree of the relationship between the financial challenges and the coping mechanisms of 4P’s beneficiaries during the COVID-19 pandemic. 100 students coming from a family of 4P’s beneficiary aged 18 years old and above were surveyed. Student Financial Wellness Survey and Financial Literacy Questionnaire were utilized to measure the level of financial challenges that the students are experiencing; Brief Cope Survey was utilized to
quantify the level of coping mechanisms of the students. The gathered data shows that the respondents have a high level of financial challenges and 4P’s beneficiary families face problems in handling their financial issues, allocating their finances in order to continue their studies, and supporting their expenses. The respondents also exhibited high level use of Problem-Focused Coping, moderate level use of Emotion-Focused coping, and moderate level use of Avoidant Coping. The result of the study stated that there is a significant
relationship between financial challenges and coping mechanisms. Hence, this research states that when respondents face high levels of financial challenges, it will have an effect on their level of coping mechanisms. Future researchers may investigate the financial constraints and coping mechanisms of 4P’s beneficiaries
to see if such variables have a correlational relationship
