Braving the Waves: Narratives of Women Drift Net Fisher folks
type: item
description: This study examines the experiences of women engaged in pamukot or drift net fishing in Buenavista, Guimaras, Philippines, where women’s contributions to small-scale fisheries are often undervalued. Guided by the Gender Dynamics in Fisheries Participation Framework, the study explored their fishing activities, roles, motivations, and challenges. Five women with at least 15 years of experience were purposively selected as informants, and data were gathered through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Results revealed that women play crucial roles in fishing and household livelihoods, ranging from assisting their husbands, preparing and repairing nets, and marketing products, to managing conflicts and providing emotional support. Their motivations stem from economic necessity, family cooperation, and a sense of enjoyment. However, they face challenges such as inclement weather, equipment loss, occupational health risks, and balancing childcare with fishing duties. The study highlights the need for gender-sensitive programs, safety training, livelihood support, and disaster preparedness to strengthen women’s participation and promote sustainable fisheries development.

Development and Acceptability of Calamansi Ginger Concentrate
type: item
description: This study aimed to develop and assess the acceptability of a calamansi- ginger concentrate, combining the nutritional benefits of calamansi (Citrus microcarpa) and ginger (Zingiber officinale) to create a health-focused beverage. The concentrate was prepared with varying concentrations of ginger extract—5%, 10%, and 15%—along with basic condiments like sugar, water, and salt. A sensory evaluation was conducted with 50 respondents using a 9-point hedonic scale, measuring taste, aroma, aftertaste, color, and general acceptability. Results indicated that the 15% ginger extract formulation was most favored in terms of taste, aftertaste, and overall acceptability, while the 5% ginger extract had the lowest scores. The findings suggest that the higher ginger concentration provided a more pronounced and pleasant flavor, enhancing the overall consumer experience. Although aroma and color were not significant factors, the study highlighted the importance of ginger intensity in shaping consumer preferences. The findings offer valuable insights for product development, emphasizing the 15% ginger extract formulation for broader market appeal and potential health benefits.

Bibliometric Analysis of Climate-Smart Agriculture: Trends, Research Gaps, and Impacts on Crop Production
type: item
description: Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) plays a critical role in combating climate change, ensuring food security, and promoting sustainable crop production. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of CSA research from 2015 to 2024, leveraging data from the Scopus database. The analysis pursues three main objectives: (1) examining research trends by tracking publication growth, subject areas, and document types; (2) identifying gaps in research by evaluating the distribution across countries, institutions, and funding sources; and (3) proposing directions for future research. Using a Boolean search string (“climate-smart agriculture” OR “CSA” OR “climate resilient agriculture” OR “sustainable agriculture”) AND (“bibliometric analysis” OR “scientometric analysis” OR “systematic mapping” OR “literature review” OR “science mapping”) AND (“crop production” OR “crop yield” OR “agricultural productivity” OR “farming systems”), data were retrieved from titles, abstracts, and keywords. After screening, 111 documents were retained for analysis, with bibliometric graphs and outputs generated directly from Scopus to ensure precision. Results show a consistent growth in CSA research, with a notable surge in 2024. Environmental Science (24.4%) and Agricultural and Biological Sciences (20.9%) emerged as the dominant fields, while the study also highlighted CSA's interdisciplinary nature, with contributions from Social Sciences, Computer Science, and Energy. India, the United States, and China led in research output, supported by robust institutional and funding networks. However, significant gaps remain in Africa and Latin America, with a scarcity of studies focused on socio-economic aspects and policy development. To propel CSA towards greater impact, it is crucial to foster collaborations, expand regional participation, and diversify funding sources, thereby advancing sustainable crop productivity and climate resilience globally.

Teachers' Instructional Competence and Classroom Management Skill: Bases for Enhancement
type: item
description: This study examined the instructional competence and classroom management skills of Senior High School (SHS) teachers in the Schools Division of Iloilo, Philippines, for School Year 2024–2025, aiming to inform enhancement efforts. Using a descriptive-correlational design with a quantitative approach, the study surveyed 300 SHS teachers through a validated and reliable questionnaire. It employed both descriptive and inferential statistics—such as frequency, percentage, mean, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and Spearman’s rho—to analyze the data. The results showed that SHS teachers in Iloilo demonstrated very high levels of instructional competence and classroom management skills. Instructional competence was most prominent in student engagement, while classroom management excelled in discipline and teacher-student relationships. The study found significant differences in instructional competence only when teachers were grouped by educational attainment. In contrast, classroom management skills varied significantly across educational attainment, subject group, and specialization. A strong positive correlation existed between instructional competence and classroom management skills. The study concludes that SHS teachers exhibit strong instructional and classroom management abilities but recommend improvements in engaging disengaged learners and managing time effectively. Educational attainment plays a significant role in both competencies and classroom management, highlighting the need for advanced academic preparation. Based on these findings, a targeted professional development program is recommended, focusing on differentiated strategies for learner engagement, adaptive teaching, and time management, tailored to teachers' qualifications and subject specializations.

Does Higher Pay Create More Jobs? Evidence from Indonesia's Manufacturing Sector
type: item
description: This study examines the relationship between wage growth and employment outcomes in Indonesia’s manufacturing sector over the period 2015–2023 from TradingEconomics and BPS data. To analyze the data, the research employs a quantitative approach by using descriptive statistics, trend analysis, and regression modeling. A simple linear regression model was employed, with the support of Python Codelabs as a testing and data analysis tool. The use of Python allowed for efficient data processing, regression analysis, and visualization of the correlation between the variables. Descriptive findings indicate a steady rise in manufacturing wages and a relatively stable workforce share, with a sharp deviation during the COVID-19 pandemic. While wages and employment grew in tandem pre-2020, this link weakened post-pandemic, revealing structural disruptions. Regression analysis confirms a positive but statistically insignificant relationship between wages and manufacturing workforce share (coefficient = 0.3684; p = 0.426), and an even weaker, negative, and insignificant association with the unemployment rate (coefficient = -0.0783; p = 0.836). These results highlight that wage increases alone do not significantly influence employment or unemployment trends. Broader structural factors, such as technological change, policy interventions, and macroeconomic shocks, play a more decisive role. Therefore, wage policy should be integrated with productivity and labor market reforms to effectively stimulate employment.

Mangrove Leaf Tea from Ceriops decandra: Sensory Evaluationand Nutritional Analysis
type: item
description: This study investigates the acceptability, sensory characteristics, and proximate analysis of mangrove leaf tea derived from Ceriops decandra (Griff.) Ding Hou. The objectives of the study were to assess the overall acceptability of the tea, identify its sensory attributes such as aroma, taste, and mouthfeel, and determine its nutritional profile. A sensory evaluation was conducted with 30 panelists, and the results showed high acceptability, with a mean score of 8.32 on a 9-point hedonic scale. The tea was favored for its herbal aroma and mild sweetness, though its astringent mouthfeel was noted by all participants. Proximate analysis revealed that the tea contained 12.28% moisture, 11.71% ash, 0.43% crude protein, 2.50% total fat, and 73.08% carbohydrates, with an energy content of 317 kcal per 100g. The tea's low fat and sugar content, combined with its high mineral profile, make it a healthy beverage option. The findings suggest that mangrove leaf tea has potential as a functional food, offering health benefits, particularly in managing diabetes and inflammation. However, further refinement of its sensory profile is recommended to enhance its broader appeal. Sustainable harvesting practices should also be emphasized to ensure the long-term viability of Ceriops decandra as a resource.

Trashtech: IoT & AI-Based Smart Waste Monitoring App for Cities
type: item
description: Waste accumulation is a significant issue in urban areas, where large volumes of waste pile up and often become normalized by the community. In regions like Bogor Regency, with a population of 5,489,539, this problem is especially crucial, impacting both the environment and public health. To address this, the implementation of an automated waste monitoring system based on the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a promising solution. This research presents a system that utilizes ultrasonic sensors connected to an ESP32 module to monitor waste volume in real-time, with LED indicators signaling when a trash bin is full. A mobile application is integrated into the system to provide data from the sensors and send alerts when waste levels approach capacity, facilitating timely waste collection. The results of this study demonstrate that the automated system effectively supports waste management, improves efficiency, and contributes to the development of a smart city with an environmentally friendly focus. Furthermore, the system’s potential to integrate with regional cleanliness programs underscores its scalability and applicability to other urban areas facing similar challenges, offering a sustainable solution for future waste management strategies.

Species Composition of Seagrasses in Selected Barangays of Victoria, Northern Samar
type: item
description: Very limited studies have been conducted on species composition of seagrasses in the coastal waters of Northern Samar. This study was conducted to determine the species composition and percent cover of seagrasses in the coastal waters of the selected barangays of the Municipality of Victoria, Northern Samar such as Barangays Erenas, Lazaro, and Libertad. To achieve the objectives, descriptive research design was used to identify and classify the different kinds of seagrasses that are present in the study areas. A line-plot method was used to cover as many species as possible on each site. Sampling was done in the littoral and sub-littoral zones during low tide at daytime. Results revealed that six seagrass species were identified in the selected coastal barangays, belonging to two (2) families and five (5) genera. The species are Cymodocea rotundata, Cymodocea serrulata, Halodule pinifolia, Halophila ovalis, Syringodium isoetifolium, and Thalassia hemprichii. The highest total number of species (5) was found in Barangay Erenas and San Lazaro, while the least number of species (3) was collected in Barangay Libertad. Shannon-Weiner Diversity Index revealed that the seagrasses of Victoria, Northern Samar are diverse. The environmental parameters are within the tolerance range, but lower salinity did not favor the growth of the other seagrass species.

type: item
description: With the advent of technology in the whole world, many learners have become dependents on the gadgets in terms of entertainment, business, information, communication, and etc. including spelling, meaning, and usage of words to be used; wherein it would be easy for them to learn a lot and to enhance their competencies. The government had/had spent much for the enhancement of the country's educational system for a long period of times. It had spent much in learning materials and physical facilities in different levels in schools. Yet, there are still learners especially the students who are taking education courses who are poor in using the language specifically in English. In their part, they are expected to be role models in the way they act, do, say and write. They are expected more to be adept in grammatical competencies by using the English language, which they are going to use in their future profession as to be teachers. That's the reason why this study was conducted in order to identify the grammar errors and issues in writing of the student teachers of the Guimaras State College, Academic Year 2014-2015, and will serve as bases for instructional enhancement. Total population of the student teachers for Academic Year 2014-2015, served as respondents of the study, however there were four who were absent. Out of eighty five, there were eighty one student teachers served as respondents of the study. Result showed that the respondents' majority sex were female of 71 with the percentage of 67.65%. Most of the respondents were BEEd, total of 56, with 69.14%. Most of the respondents have the age bracket between 20-21 years old, total of 39 with percentage of 48.15%. Result revealed that the grammar score of the respondents, only ten were considered as outstanding in their score and almost one-half of the respondents described as satisfactory, while others were described as fair and poor which has a negative result.

Cases of Violation of Republic Act No. 9165 ( Comprehensive Dangerous Drug Act of 2002) In the Province of Guimaras
type: item
description: The problem of illegal drugs in the Philippines continues to pose a significant threat to national security. Republic Act No. 9165, otherwise known as the "Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002," enacted into law in June 2002, laid down an extensive legal framework for drug enforcement in the Philippines. The law imposes stiffer penalties for drug-related crimes and allows for more concrete courses of action for the national anti-drug campaign. The study was conducted to determine the cases of violation of R.A. 9165 in the Province of Guimaras in the year 2006 to 2012. Specifically, it aimed to determine the profile of the offenders in terms of age, sex, and civil status; how many cases of R.A. 9165 in the Province of Guimaras were recorded from the year 2006 to 2012; which municipality had the highest and lowest number of cases related to R.A. 9165; the kinds of illegal drugs confiscated from the offenders; and to determine the number of cases filed related to R.A. 9165 by different municipal police stations from 2006 to 2012. The study utilized descriptive research. Secondary data was used from the Guimaras Police Provincial Office covering the years 2006 to 2012 about cases of R.A. 9165. Data was analyzed using statistical tools such as frequency count, percent, and mean. Most of the respondents were aged between 18–26 years old. The majority were male and single. As to cases of R.A. 9165, most of the offenders came from the Municipality of Buenavista, and no offenders were recorded in the Municipality of San Lorenzo during the years 2006–2012. There were only two kinds of illegal drugs — marijuana and shabu — that were confiscated from the offenders. R.A. 9165 cases were highest in the year 2010 and lowest in the year 2012. All cases were filed and are now on trial.

Gender Mainstreaming Among Local Government Units (LGUs) in Guimaras
type: item
description: This study was conducted to assess the stage level of gender mainstreaming which identified the objectives at each stage in the process, as to foundation formation, installation of strategic mechanisms, GAD application and commitment enhancement, and institutionalization and that which correspond to the four entry points as to its policy, people, enabling mechanisms, and programs, projects, and activities. Descriptive research design was used to determine the level of gender mainstreaming initiatives of local government units in Guimaras using the Gender Mainstreaming and Evaluation Framework (GMEF), a tool which has already been established in assessing the gender mainstreaming efforts of the government and which provides impact to the behavior and practices among local government employees and the respective clientele. The GAD Focal Point Persons of the five municipal LGUs and the provincial government were the respondents of the study, all of whom had already organized their respective GAD Focal Point Systems. Results revealed that all of them were female, with majority aging between 51–60 years old, college graduates, and with a monthly income of more than Php 20,000.00. At the foundation formation of gender mainstreaming, all LGUs have shown their commitment of support for GAD by issuing policies and raising people's awareness on gender. All LGUs have put in place the key people, necessary policies, support structures, systems, and mechanisms to facilitate gender mainstreaming, though there was no sporadic application of GAD concepts and tools. Overall, LGUs are at Stage 2 level of gender mainstreaming — the Installation of Strategic Mechanisms Stage.
