The physical condition and usage of the Sagumayon River has changed drastically through the years because of pollution, climate change, and societal pressures. Considering future expansion, Bicol University has the opportunity to develop unused lots beyond the Sagumayon River in the southern part of its campus. However, flooding of the river during extreme rains poses risk to any future developments in the southern part of the University. This study determined the physiological and hydrological characteristics of the Sagumayon River that can aid in determining mitigation plans and structures that may counteract the effects of climate change. In order to determine the physiological characteristics of the Sagumayon River, the researchers conducted a route, topographical, and hydrological survey on the river. Likewise, float method and equation for velocity and discharge was used to monitor and ascertain the discharge of the river. Monitoring stations were also established to determine the velocity, discharge, maximum flow, minimum flow, and flood occurrence of the river. The section of the river upstream has a small cross-sectional capacity to carry run-off during heavy rainfall and will cause flooding to areas adjacent the river up to a ground elevation of 43.16 m and lower. It is therefore recommended that mitigating structures should be introduced along the bank of the river at risk to flooding and landslides before any development be introduced adjacent to these areas.","PeriodicalId":422131,"journal":{"name":"Bicol University Research and Development Journal","volume":"333 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114386969","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}

It aims to heighten awareness among learners about the significance of the environment, the natural resources, and their protection. The Agile approach using Scrum was utilized for the development of materials. It was able to come up with 15 video clips focusing on global warming, planets, ozone layer, ecological solid waste management, water cycle, and the likes. Three (3) interactive games were also developed on Chemical and Physical Change, Work, Energy & Machines and Food Chain. All the materials developed were assessed by two sets of jurors who are experts in content and technical aspects of the topics. Of the 18 materials developed, one (1) material is recommended for discard, thus, out of 17 materials, 13 were evaluated as “Appropriate” and four (4) as “Highly Appropriate” for use. With the positive evaluation of the jurors, the next step is to conduct pilot testing for it to be utilized by the educators in delivering their instruction to increase awareness among their learners about environmental concerns. The ICT-Based EE Materials are packaged in CD form and accessible for download in the web repository site.","PeriodicalId":422131,"journal":{"name":"Bicol University Research and Development Journal","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130488041","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}

It also reports on the level of mutual intelligibility of this variety with other East Miraya dialects, and identifies its more common derivational and inflectional morphemes. It employed five instruments: the Swadesh list, the Praat, the JPlot Formant, the Pear Film, and the Math 139 Frequency Counter. Many Bikol speakers do not distinguish between [ɛ] vs. [i], and [ɔ] vs. [u] in pronouncing native words, and therefore consider each pair of sounds as belonging to one phoneme. The Pilar dialect, therefore, has a threevowel system: a low central /a/, a front /i/ (with two allophones [i] and [ɛ]) and a back /u/ (with also two allophones [ɔ] and [u]). Historical spelling and practice, however, necessitate the use of five vowel symbols, namely “a,” “e,” “i,” “o,” and “u” to represent the Pilar phonemes in writing. The greatest mutual intelligibility using Pilar dialect as the point of reference occurs with Pilar and Daraga dialects while the lowest is with Pilar and Donsol dialects despite the fact that Pilar and Donsol are municipalities of Sorsogon Province while Daraga is a town in Albay Province. Words in the Pilar dialect may be formed by a root or stem plus one or more affixes, or they may consist of a particle, which is invulnerable to affixation but cannot stand alone without a host. On the whole, the study found derivational and inflectional morphemes, which signal a wide array of modal and aspectual expressions.","PeriodicalId":422131,"journal":{"name":"Bicol University Research and Development Journal","volume":"427 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122525897","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 Line Transect Method was employed wherein a 50 m transect line with an alternating 5x5 meter plot was set in the two sampling sites. A total of 14 fern species belonging to nine families and nine genera were found in the two sampling sites. Shannon’s Index of Diversity (H’) value of 2.08 and an Evenness (E) value of 0.8354 were recorded in sampling station 2. The anthropogenic disturbance and infrastructure expansion without clear-cut boundaries is a challenge to the fern population in the area.

The study used nonprobability sampling to identify the person in authority in the provincial level. Data from the initial interview were used to pinpoint the participants from the Municipal Social Welfare and Development (MSWD) office, Rural Health Unit (RHU), and Office of the Mayor of the different LGUs for the Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Out of the FGD, communities and families were identified for validation of outcomes. Recall interview was utilized to gather information rooted from phenomenological experience on natural disasters, specifically Typhoon Reming (Typhoon Durian) and Mayon Volcano eruptions. Respondents came from the most affected communities in Ligao, Legazpi, Tabaco, Daraga, Camalig, Guinobatan, Polangui, and Sto. Domingo. The study revealed that some of those affected by the disaster experienced signs of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Data showed the need for more experts in post-disaster recovery and mental health to make intervention activities, like psychological first aid and debriefing. The study concluded that communities surrounding Mayon Volcano and areas located in the east coast of the province are highly vulnerable to natural disasters, specifically eruption, and storm surge. There is also a shortage of professionals in the LGUs who are engaged in psychosocial concerns. Opening permanent positions in the LGUs, retraining and upgrading of practicing professionals, strong linkages with academic institutions; other government agencies—such as the Department of Health (DOH), Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), and Department of Education (DepEd)—and NGOs; and opening and promoting degree programs nursing, psychology, social work, human services, and guidance and counselling are recommended to supplement the need for professional experts.","PeriodicalId":422131,"journal":{"name":"Bicol University Research and Development Journal","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133763725","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}

In this study, the flour, starch, and cookies from locally grown arrowroot plant, which is known to contain dietary fiber, were investigated for anti-lipidemic activity. Six groups of male ICR mice were fed with a high cholesterol diet for six weeks. At the end of six-week cholesterol induction, Group 1 received distilled water (dH20), Group 2 was fed with arrowroot starch (ARS), Group 3 with arrowroot starch cookies (ARSC), Group 4 with arrowroot flour (ARF), Group 5 with arrowroot flour cookies (ARFC), and Group 6 received simvastatin (SIM) for two weeks. Body weights were recorded before and after cholesterol induction and after arrowroot treatments. Lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, VDLD, triglycerides) of serum was measured at the end of the experiment. Also, livers were dissected, weighed, and evaluated for ballooning of hepatocytes, lipid inclusion (steatosis), and portal inflammation. After two weeks of treatment with arrowroot food products, a significant reduction of body weights on hypercholesterolemic mice were observed but the reduction was comparable with the group that received only distilled water. However, treatment with arrowroot starch significantly reduced the blood total cholesterol and the histological changes induced by a high cholesterol diet. Treatment with arrowroot starch and starch cookies significantly decreased steatosis, ballooning of hepatocytes, and resulted in the absence of portal inflammation in the liver—suggesting its hypolipidemic activity. Liver lipid profile and fecal lipid excretion analysis should be conducted to further support the result of this study.","PeriodicalId":422131,"journal":{"name":"Bicol University Research and Development Journal","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134321731","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}

Particularly, innovation of existing malunggay juice extractor was done and tested in terms of efficiency, capacity, extraction time, losses and power requirement, and its technical and economic viability. The extractor was innovated for extracting malunggay juice and other similar commodities. Testing of innovated extractor was highly significant in terms of extraction time, volume of extracted juice, and percent recovery of juice extracted compared to the manual extraction process. The juice extraction of the malunggay using the innovated extractor showed a capacity of 5.5 kg/hr to almost 19 kg/hr using matured and young leaves and stalks. The mean juice recovery is 62%. The innovated extractor for malunggay has higher efficiency and capacity but has lesser processing time, losses, and power requirement. The malunggay extractor is economically viable and feasible. The extractor could extract juice from malunggay, and its meal could be converted into powder and tea and gain a minimum of ₱62/kg of malunggay. It has a return on investment of 34.11% with a payback period of 2.1 years. The fabrication of the prototype of “Agiseparator,” downsizing of the equipment, technology commercialization, adoption of a backyard planting for malunggay; health impact dissemination, determination of nutrient retention and loss during processing, and development of more products from malunggay are recommended.","PeriodicalId":422131,"journal":{"name":"Bicol University Research and Development Journal","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121923475","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}
