The study discusses the development and acceptability of Mead wine with Calamansi fruit flavor. Mead can have a wide range of flavors depending on the source of the honey, added substances counting natural product and flavors, the yeast utilized amid maturation and the maturing method. In this study, the researcher used calamansi fruit as its flavour since there is a rich cultivation and plantation of calamansi fruit in the locale of the study. Thirty individuals assessed the mead wine with calamansi fruit flavour in terms of appearance, aroma, flavour and texture. The research has used various statistical treatments such as Mean and T-test in evaluating the obtained data. It was found out that the mean wine with calamansi fruit flavor had an alcohol content of 12%. Furthermore, the respondents extremely like the mead wine with calamansi flavour because of its appearance and aroma which obtained the highest appraisal of the respondents based on their sensory evaluation. The study uncovered that calamansi fruit flavour has the potential to be utilized as an ingredient for mead wine production. Moreover, amid the appraisal of the respondents, the aroma, flavour, appearance and texture of the produced mead wine with calamansi fruit flavour was essentially influenced. Generally, the taster respondents have extremely liked the mead wine with calamansi fruit flavour. Therefore, it is a highly appropriate commodity in the community and can be a potential income source and generating enterprise

Development and Content Analysis of Lubeg (Syzygium lineatum)

The study discusses the development and composition analysis of Lubeg Vinegar. According to the Department of Agriculture Bureau of Agricultural Research, the lubeg fruit was previously an unutilized fruit. Since the fruit is easily accessible and often wasted, the researcher employed it as the primary ingredient in vinegar production. A total of 30 individuals from Isabela State University evaluated the Lubeg Vinegar. The research study utilized Mean (M) and Standard Deviation (SD). The acceptability and marketability scores of two samples of Lubeg (Syzygium lineatum) vinegar (brown sugar and white sugar) were compared using an independent samples t-test. The sizes were calculated using partial eta squared and interpreted according to Cohen's guidelines: 0.01 indicated a small effect, 0.06 a medium effect and 0.14 a large effect. Consequently, it became evident from the research that the method for making Lubeg vinegar from lubeg (Syzygium lineatum) was highly successful and efficient. Furthermore, lubeg (Syzygium lineatum) vinegar influenced consumer acceptability and was generally well-received by tasters. However, concerning color/appearance, aroma/smell, sour/acidity and respondents' willingness to purchase, Lubeg (Syzygium lineatum) vinegar with white sugar was generally more acceptable than Lubeg vinegar with brown sugar. Moreover, the commercialization of Lubeg vinegar has yielded a profitable return on investment

Intentional Observational Clinical Research Design : Innovative Design for Complex Clinical Research Using Advanced Technology

The growing use of robots in nursing and healthcare facilities has prompted increasing research on human–robot interactions. However, specific research designs that can guide researchers to conduct rigorous investigations on human–robot interactions are limited. This paper aims to discuss the development and application of a new research design—the Intentional Observational Clinical Research Design (IOCRD). Data sources to develop the IOCRD were derived from surveyed literature of the past decade, focusing on clinical nursing research and theories relating robotics to nursing and healthcare practice. The distinction between IOCRD and other research design is the simultaneous data generation collected using advanced technological devices, for example, the wireless Bonaly-light electrocardiogram (ECG) to track heart rate variability of research subjects, robot application programs on the iPad mini to control robot speech and gestures, and Natural Language Processing programs. Even though IOCRD was developed for human–robot research, there remain vast opportunities for its use in nursing practice and healthcare. With the unique feature of simultaneous data generation and analysis, an interdisciplinary collaborative research team is strongly suggested. The IOCRD is expected to contribute guidance for researchers in conducting clinical research related to robotics in nursing and healthcare

The Current Situation and Issues of Sexual Health Education by School Nurses in Muntinlupa City, Philippines

Cases of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and teenage pregnancy have been increasing among adolescents in the Philippines. School nurses (SNs) are expected to deliver quality healthcare services and provide relevant sexual health education for students. This study explores the current situation of providing sexual health education by SNs in Muntinlupa City toward health promotion and gains understanding of school health issues in the Philippines. This study employed a cross sectional research design using anonymous self-administered questionnaires, which were distributed to 23 SNs. Then, a semi-structured interview was conducted with them in Muntinlupa City. Among the 23 SNs, 30.4% of them were affiliated to high schools. The most frequent health issues experienced by primary school students were malnutrition, gastrointestinal pain due to hunger, upper respiratory tract infection, and poor hygiene. In high schools, the most frequent health issues were poor mental health, malnutrition and early pregnancy. SNs lacked knowledge on STI, mental health, sex education, safe sex, teenage pregnancy and nutritional care for children. In conclusion, SNs lack knowledge about sex education (early pregnancy and STIs) and mental health. Therefore, seminars should be provided for all SNs to gain adequate knowledge and skills to teach students of all types of school

Bangon: lessons from the filipino vernacular in post-disaster architecture

LAUREA MAGISTRALECon l’aumento della frequenza degli eventi meteorologici estremi dovuti ai cambiamenti climatici, milioni di persone sono costrette ad abbandonare le proprie abitazioni a causa dei disastri naturali. Molte di queste colpiscono in modo sproporzionato le comunità nei paesi del Sud Globale, che spesso fanno affidamento su aiuti umanitari esterni per il processo di recupero. Questi aiuti comprendono la progettazione e la costruzione di strutture post-disastro. La ricerca supporta la ricostruzione di abitazioni come un processo continuo, invece di considerarlo un prodotto finale, dimostrando inoltre che un recupero post-disastro di successo si basa sulla sostenibilità a lungo termine. Ai fini di promuoverla, gli architetti che operano in queste situazioni devono assicurarsi che i progetti siano sensibili al contesto culturale e climatico. Come possono quindi gli architetti meglio comprendere l’ambiente in cui stanno progettando? L’architettura vernacolare potrebbe offrire alcune risposte. Le tecniche e i metodi costruttivi dell’architettura vernacolare si basano su conoscenze sviluppate nel corso dei secoli e rappresentano una risposta diretta al clima e alle abitudini della popolazione locale. L’attenzione a questi fattori potrebbe portare a strutture meglio progettate e, di conseguenza, a un recupero post-disastro più efficace. Per illustrare i legami tra l’architettura post-disastro e l’architettura vernacolare, la tesi si concentra sulle Filippine, un paese soggetto a disastri naturali e ricco di tradizioni architettoniche. Attraverso ricerche, disegni e progetti architettonici i caratteri vernacolari dell’architettura filippina vengono applicati ai fini di rendere più efficiente il recupero post-disastro, all’interno della nazione.As the frequency of extreme weather events rise due to climate change, millions of people are being displaced from their homes due to disaster. Many of these disasters disproportionately affect communities in countries of the Global South, which often rely on external humanitarian aid in their recovery efforts. This aid includes the design and construction of post-disaster structures. The research will show that successful post-disaster recovery is about long-term sustainability and that the sheltering process should be viewed as an ongoing process rather than a final product. To promote sustainability, architects working in post-disaster operations must ensure that their designs are climate-responsive and culturally sensitive in order to be functional and well received by the local people. How then, can architects better understand the local contexts in which they are designing in? Vernacular architecture could provide some answers. The techniques and construction methods of vernacular architecture are based on knowledge developed over centuries and is a direct response to the climate and ways of life of the local people. Attention to these factors could lead to better designed structures and consequently, more successful post-disaster recovery. To illustrate the links between post-disaster architecture and vernacular architecture the thesis focuses on the Philippines, a country prone to disaster and that has rich architectural traditions. Through research, drawings and architectural design, this thesis shows how the qualities of Filipino vernacular architecture could be applied to make post-disaster recovery efforts more successful within the nation
