It utilized a survey questionnaire in gathering data among 30 secondary school teachers in the Department of Education, Division of Bukidnon, Kuya National High School for the School Year 2023- 2024. A descriptive research design utilizing descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, and rank were used to determine the school support systems responsible for shaping teachers’ research competence and to analyze the data obtained from the results of the survey questionnaire. The results indicate that Professional Development Opportunities received the highest mean score (4.48), suggesting a strong agreement among participants. These results suggest that while certain factors contribute more strongly to the overall support system, there is room for improvement in areas such as supportive leadership, research support structure, access to research resources and tools, research ethics and integrity, and time and workload balance. The findings contribute to the existing body of knowledge on effective educational practices. And can inform policymakers, school administrators, and educators in their efforts to create robust support systems that foster a conducive learning environment. Further research is recommended to delve deeper into the specific mechanisms through which each factor influences the overall school support system and to explore potential strategies for improvement.","PeriodicalId":134055,"journal":{"name":"Applied Research and Innovation","volume":" 23","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140684309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The physical properties of seeds involved in the study were investigated to optimize the design of the seed drill’s components. The developed seed drill machine, consists of a frame, seed and fertilizer hopper, seed metering devices, seed delivery tube, adjustable furrow opener, and drive wheels. The performances were evaluated in terms of Seed and fertilizer rate, row spacing, depth of seed placement, plant count/stand, field capacity and field efficiency. The investigation revealed that the sphericity of Hidase, Digelu, Ogolcho, and Kekeba wheat varieties were 65.81 %, 64.79% and 62.62 %, respectively. Row-to-row spacing can be 20 cm and depth also adjustable to 5 to 7 cm as per wheat agronomic requirements. The developed four row animal drawn seed drill was tested in the laboratory and field. The seed rate was calibrated and observed that 127 kg/ha with a middle flap position adjustment lying in the acceptable range of the recommended seed rate. There was no visible damage observed. The mean field capacity and field efficiency were 0.112 ha/hr and 81.78% at speed of 1.71km/hr. 310 to 318 plant populations per meter square (1 m2) area were observed during field germination count. Based on the performance evaluation results, it is concluded that the developed seed drill can be effectively and economically used by most farmers.","PeriodicalId":134055,"journal":{"name":"Applied Research and Innovation","volume":"322 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135320491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They have maintained monetary gain but shifted blames to the end users, making butts “it’s small, “it does not matter” the most abundant untamed litters globally. The butts are said to release over 400 carcinogenic chemicals when discarded inhumanly into the environment (air, water and land); with attended effects on the environmental resources and human beings. The basis of this study is to draw public attention and cultural waste management practices towards Cigarette butts in Bayelsa State considering the vast and high ecological sensitivity of the state and the region at large. About 240 pieces of carefully designed schedules covering demographic features, smoking frequencies, awareness, smoking environment and butts management culture were utilized to elucidate the objectives of the study. The chains of smokers were more between the ages of 36-45years and lesser between the ages of 20-25years; 92% of smokers were male making them the most likely gender to litter the environment with cigarette butts; of the totals smokers 67% respondent don’t know that cigarette butts is non-biodegradable and very toxic to the environment. 34% respondent smokes in conspicuous environment; 19% inconspicuous milieu (hideout and ghettos), 23% in controlled designated areas and 24% agreed to smoke in an undesignated environment (Streets). Dumping in trash accounted for 24%, 30% selectively discarded in shops, clubs, malls etc. while 46% admitted to have discarded butts randomly, exposing the environment to arrays of toxins. Therefore, creating awareness is necessary but holding the tobacco companies accountable for butts’ management is very optimal.","PeriodicalId":134055,"journal":{"name":"Applied Research and Innovation","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135592420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One potential solution to reduce the environmental impact of construction is to use sustainable materials in the production of concrete. The effects of adding low-density polyethylene (LDPE) waste and stone dust on the mechanical properties of the 7-days cured composite materials adopting two independent categorical variables with five levels each, creating 25 groups were investigated. The dependent variables are compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, and water absorption. The results show that increasing LDPE waste content and stone dust content improves the mechanical strength of the composite material but increases water absorption. The optimal combination of LDPE waste content and stone dust content is 30% LDPE waste and 40% stone dust, based on the highest values of compressive, tensile, and flexural strength and the lowest value of water absorption in the group. It also provides linear regression models and correlation analysis to determine the relationships between LDPE waste content and each dependent variable. On this basis, it suggests that LDPE waste can improve the mechanical properties of the composite material and its water resistance, but the optimal amount of LDPE waste depends on the type of material and application. The study concludes that incorporating LDPE waste and stone dust into composite materials can be a sustainable solution for waste management and the production of low-cost, high-performance materials.","PeriodicalId":134055,"journal":{"name":"Applied Research and Innovation","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133713900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The treatment methods are classified into traditional and innovative methods. FS sludge impacts the environment negatively and one of the most adopted methods for its treatment from toilets where they originate, are composting and anaerobic digestion to recover biogas and organic fertilizer. FS potential for biogas production has been critically examined here using literature sources. It is discovered that FS is not largely favored as a means of recovering bioenergy in most parts of the world due to hygiene concerns, even though it is one of the most abundant organic materials for bioenergy recovery through anaerobic digestion. This work hence studied the factors hindering FS recycling and reuse, which it convincingly addresses. The work also demonstrates ways FS can be safely collected and digested to useful products and make a case for future investment in the sector by relevant bodies due to its feasibility, profitability and environmental-friendliness. Implementation of a system that recovers FS from latrines of households and public places and converts them to useful products are therefore recommended.","PeriodicalId":134055,"journal":{"name":"Applied Research and Innovation","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132672025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
