Abstracts: This study examined the cytotoxic and genotoxic properties of saraisa (Muntinga calabura). This quantitative-experimental study used the Brine Shrimp Lethality (BSLA) and Allium cepa root growth inhibition assays to test its cytotoxic and genotoxic properties, respectively. These properties were evaluated based from the mortality rate of the brine shrimp nauplii and the root length inhibition of onion (A. cepa) after being exposed to varying extract concentrations. In this experiment, the properties were assessed by comparing the cytotoxic and genotoxic properties of the different concentrations with the negative control using F-test and LSD pairwise comparison. The test for cytotoxicity revealed that M. calabura demonstrated a moderate level of cytotoxicity against brine shrimp nauplii, with a lethal concentration (LC50) of 143.598 parts per million (ppm). There was a significant difference between the cytotoxic property of the different concentrations of the extract and the negative control. Furthermore, the root growth inhibition test revealed the high genotoxic effect of the extract by successfully inhibiting the growth of A. cepa roots. The bioactivity of M. calabura reported in this study is an indication of the presence of potent compounds which are good sources of important drug candidates. Thus, the study found the need to investigate further M.calabura’s biological properties for its possibility to be a potential drug candidate.

Abstracts: Rodents are reservoirs and hosts of zoonotic diseases. Rodents’ pathogenic parasites can be introduced onto soils, water supplies, vegetables and fruits thus playing significant role in human infection. Though studies on rodents and their parasites are necessary to understand and manage zoonotic disease cycle, knowledge gap of endoparasite composition of wild rodents that interact with domestic animals and human still exists in Kenya. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of rodents’ endoparasites in Kirimiri forest, Embu County in Kenya between January and May 2016. Wild rats were caught by laying traps in 100 m x 100 m grid of 50 Sherman and 50 victor traps. Rodents’ morphometric data was used for their identification. Necropsy was performed for gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and endoparasites extracted, counted and prevalence determined. Three species of rats totaling to 355 rats comprising of 199 males and 156 females were captured and identified. A total of 533 endoparasites extracted. Rate of endoparasite prevalence was significantly higher in Rattus spp a peri-domestic rodent than forest rodents’ species (χ= 57.791, P = < 0.05). Asyphalia obvelata (44.79 %) had higher prevalence while the H. dinimuta had lowest prevalence (6.20 %). Prevalence based on forest patches, GIT and was different. The current study highlights the importance of rodents as potential vectors for intestinal parasitic infections.

Abstracts: As the need for concrete continuously increases every year, the necessity and demand for the supply of cement also rise significantly. This study aimed to look for an alternative engineering construction material which can be a potential partial replacement to ordinary Portland cement (OPC). The entire investigation and experiment was based on the established ASTM standards. The physical properties of pulverized commercially available vermiculite (PCAV), namely fineness, specific gravity, and unit weight, were determined via laboratory tests and experiments. The cylindrical concrete specimens were designed for 28 MPa and 24 MPa compressive strengths exposed in a curing period of 28 days. The commercially available vermiculite from Ramgo International Corporation was utilized in the study, and was pulverized using the available pulverizing equipment. As far as the objectives of the study were concerned, the compressive strengths of the samples were determined using the Universal Testing Machine. The results of the experiments and laboratory tests performed showed that only the cylindrical concrete specimen of Class AA (1:1.5:3) with a PCAV – cement proportion of 10% - 90% attained and exceeded the required strength based on the design compressive strength of 28 MPa. Results also showed that PCAV can be used as a partial replacement to OPC in a concrete mix using PCAV – cement proportion of 10% - 90% of Class AA.

Abstracts: The study was primarily concerned with the substance use among the adolescents in Maitum, Sarangani Province. The study aimed to determine the demographic profile, extent of influential factors and perceived effect of substance use. Frequency, percentile and weighted mean were used for statistical treatment. Moreover, an intervention program was designed based on the findings of the study. Findings of the study revealed that, among adolescents, age bracket of 17-18 years old got the highest percentage of 32.9 and 37.08 while the lowest was the age bracket of 9 and 15 years old which obtained 3.75 and 6.25 percent. The gender showed that female comprised of 63.75% while male comprised only of 36.25%. In terms of grade levels, data revealed that Grade 11 got the highest percentage of 65 while the lowest was the Grade 10 which obtained 4.17%. Respondents’ hobbies include playing sports and reading books obtained the highest percentage of 22.08 and 13.3. The data also revealed that 12.08% of the respondents used alcohol and 7.08% of the respondents used cigarettes. The extent of influential factors to substance use among adolescents has a weighted mean of 1.74 which is moderate in extent. However, the extent of influential factors to substance use among adolescents on academic pressure was rarely influence them to substance use. The perceived effects of substance use among adolescents have a weighted mean of 3.98 which is highly agree/perceived. From the data analysis, conclusions were drawn that most of the respondents belong to the grade 11 with age bracket of 17-18 years old and mostly are female. Respondents’ top hobbies include playing sports, reading books and used of cellphones. Alcohol and tobacco were the commonly used substances among respondents that consider themselves as users. Encouragement of friends, parent’s substance use, social gatherings and peer pressure are influential factors that sometimes/moderately influence adolescents to substance use. Academic pressures rarely influence adolescents to substance use. Substance use was highly perceived to cause effect on health-perception, cognitive-perceptual, academic performance, sleep-rest and role-relationships. The researcher then recommends that there is a need to adapt the Short Course. Program on Awareness of Substance Use. There is a need to implement the Short Course Program on Substance Use Implications to the adolescents and students to prevent possible health risk and behavioral vices. There is a need to embed and apply the Short Course Program on Substance Use to the Homeroom and health related subjects among adolescents. The administrators and faculty of the Notre Dame of Dadiangas University may utilize the proposed program and may intensify its operation through embedment on the PGS sessions. Future researchers may evaluate the implementation of the Short Course Program Substance Use Implications and conduct similar studies on the areas of drug use and addiction and academic performance among adolescents.

Abstracts: Recent debates on workforce development in knowledge-producing organisations cannot undermine the effect of mindset and knowledge culture of Universities gripped by ivory tower syndrome and spirit of disengagement. While acknowledging invaluable contributions of Cameroon Universities to labor market supply, the paper advances that mental dependence on ethnocentric epistemologies and delivery modes are responsible for employability crisis and knowledge deployment. The paper assesses the state of institutional mindset and knowledge management practices as determinants of human capital development within the BMD system, an indigenous knowledge framework. Analysis reveals that current state of disengagement has failed to embrace homegrown training values in bridging labor demand-supply gaps. A critique of training strategies reports policy gaps that thwart politico-academic ambitions of purported change-minded Universities to indigenize a workforce that can foster creativity and innovation. It submits that the epistemological dilemma in human capital development can best be resolved through the deconstruction of prevailing mindset and ivory tower syndrome through meaningful community engagement. Discussion advocates behaviour change as capable of bridging between exogenous and homegrown knowledge packages in creating useful organizational knowledge packages in competence building. Despite threatening global values, the paper proposes a demand-driven framework in churning out creative, flexible and resilient human capital capable of responsive knowledge deployment in any work situation.

Abstracts: Air pollution and the emission of greenhouse gases related to the manufacture of clinker for the manufacture of cement, leads to consider the use of a natural binder other than cement for the stabilization of laterite. This laterite-rubber is a new sustainable material for construction and building. In this work, a study on the amount of ammonia to delay the coagulation of latex for use as a stabilizer was conducted. In addition, tests of water resistance, absorption and mechanical tests were carried out on this new material to define its properties. 3% ammonia was used to delay coagulation of the latex. 0 to 30% latex content was used to stabilize laterite specimens. The tests carried out on these different test pieces gave the following results: 15% latex specimens dissolve completely in water while 20% test specimens dissolve completely in water; 25% and 30% are water resistant. The absorption rate decreases as the latex content increases in the test pieces. t goes from 14,45% for the specimens to 15% to 5.87% for the 30% test pieces. The compression test shows an increase in resistance from 0.37 MPa for latex-free specimens to 3.15 MPa for 30% latex specimens. Also, the study of the mechanical properties (rheological behavior) shows that the specimens have a plastic behavior when the latex content increases.

Abstracts: Investment management perspective of micro-enterprises in Batangas province were the main focused of the study using descriptive statistics. Based on the analysis, respondents were 51-60 years old, female, undergraduate, and below five years in the business. Moreover, respondents have below five employees, five years in operation, and less than Php5, 000.00 capital. In assessing the investment management perspective of micro-enterprises, respondents agree that risk and rate of return, working capital management, financial forecasting, and financial environment affect financial planning. There is also a significant relationship between the profiles of the respondents with the factors of investment management perspective. Researchers found out that risky products or services related to the business should be monitored, the liability for short-term debt financing should be decreased, owners of micro-enterprises must maximize working capital, there should be a plan for the expenditures on fixed assets, and micro-enterprises’ owners should determine the prevailing interest rates.

Abstracts: The dean leads in the attainment of the vision, mission and objectives of an academic institution where he belongs. He establishes structure in relation to instruction, curriculum, and performance assessment. Likewise, he acts for effective implementation of memoranda, issues, policies and guidelines of top officials of the institutions. However, he can execute it best with the support and cooperation of his subordinates particularly the middle managers of the college. The multifarious tasks of the dean must meet the standards prescribed of his work. It is also his task to ensure that the teachers and other school personnel are exposed to more opportunities so that they can be more effective and more efficient in the organization. The dean may find it difficult to achieve all the objectives of the college without the support of the associate dean, department and program chairs and the faculty designated, who are considered the college middle managers. They assisted the dean on all endeavors of the college. Thus, being the college dean, she found it relevant and timely to focus on the assessment of quality work life, leadership potentials and decision-making of her middle managers. Her study covered the quality work life as to their personal and professional characteristics, supervision, and interpersonal skills. Their decision-making skills were also determined in the study. A continuing education program was proposed toward the attainment of quality work life of the middle managers. The descriptive method of research was applied in the study with the questionnaire as the main data gathering instrument. This was supplemented by the interview and focused group discussion. There were there groups of respondents with a total of 468. There were 62 upper managers, 100 middle managers and 306 faculty members who became the respondents of the study. The weighted mean, ranking, step-wise multiple regression analysis, one-way analysis of variance or F test and Scheffe’ Test were the statistical tools used to answer the specific problems. The data obtained revealed that the middle managers rated themselves very evidently the quality work life as to personal and professional characteristics, supervision, and interpersonal skills while the upper managers and faculty described the middle managers to evidently possess those characteristics and skills. The personal characteristics, interpersonal, supervision and decision-making skills were the predictors of the quality work life of middle managers. However, the middle managers themselves assessed that very evidently they possessed the decision-making skills and the upper managers and faculty described the middle managers to evidently possess such skill. Thus, the upper managers, middle managers and faculty significant differ on their responses of quality work life, and decision-making skills.

Abstracts: The problems in reading among learners are perennial issues in every school. One way to resolve this is by crafting strategic reading programs suited to the specific needs of every struggling reader. However, to make it more effective it must be managed properly. At this point, English coordinators must acquire and enhance the necessary management competencies for reading program management. Thus, this study aimed to assess the management competencies of English coordinators and identify the issues and concerns in reading program management so as to propose a reading program management for them. The study utilized a descriptive research design utilizing a researcher made questionnaire as research instrument. The results of the study showed that the management competencies of English coordinators were moderately evident in terms of planning, documentation and reporting, management communication, and decision making, while the primary issue and concern in reading program management was the sufficiency of resources to support the program and time to support and implement the program. The results were used as basis in crafting a reading program management for English coordinators.

Abstracts: This descriptive-correlational research probed the moderating effects of Psychological Capital (PsyCap) on workplace bullying and burnout of Philippine National Police (PNP) uniformed personnel (N=447) of the National Capital Region (NCR) using convenience sampling technique. The survey instruments were composed of self-made socio-demographic profile, Psychological Capital Questionnaire-24 (PCQ-24), Negative Acts Questionnaire Revised (NAQ-R), and Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI). The findings of the study indicated that most of the participants were male, 22 to 37 years old, married, college graduate, Police Officer 1 (PO1), 1 year and 1 month to 5 years in service, and from Southern Police District. Mean scores of the participants indicate high level of PsyCap, and very low level of workplace bullying and low level of burnout. Also, it was found out that PsyCap was negatively correlated with workplace bullying and burnout, while the latter variables maintained their positive correlations. Moreover, among the dimensions of PsyCap, hope and resilience moderates the relationship between the specific form of bullying and burnout.

Abstracts: This study focused on the evaluation of the writing skills of the first year engineering students in Batangas State University in terms of grammatical, stylistic, mechanical, and judgment skills. The respondents took up an English grammar subject during the first semester of the school year 2014-2015. Specifically, it determined the diagnostic test results on writing skills in terms of grammatical, stylistic, mechanical, and judgement skills. Likewise, it identified the writing skills of the respondents that are adequately developed or undeveloped. This study utilized the descriptive method of research using the cross sectional-design. The researcher employed four hundred eighty-three (483) out of the total of one thousand five hundred seventy-four (1574) first year engineering students. These students were given the diagnostic tests designed to elicit information on their writing skills. Pre-validated diagnostic test was the main tool used in the study. Statistical tools used were frequency count, percentage technique, arithmetic mean, and Pearson Product-Moment Coefficient of Correlation. Findings of the study revealed that among the four writing skills, the students have adequately developed their grammatical and stylistic skills, like the use of the third principal part of the verb and modifier in the case of grammatical skills, the use of prepositional phrase, antecedent, and verb in the case of stylistic skills. The undeveloped skills of the students are due to their inability to spot errors on the use of unnecessary adverb and article, subject-verb agreement in the case of grammatical skills; the use of inverted sentence in the case of stylistic skills; the use of colon, apostrophe and exclamation point in the case of mechanical skills; use of contrasting ideas in the case of judgment skills.

Abstracts: Constraint programming (CP) is a powerful paradigm for solving and modeling combinatorial problems. Nevertheless, building a CP model requires some expertise in constraint programming. The users find it difficult to articulate their constraints, while they are able to recognize examples of where a constraint has to be satisfied or violated. Several constraint acquisition systems have been introduced to take an active role in acquiring the user’s constraints. However, until recently, no such system existed for distributed constraint problem (DCP). In this paper, we attempt to present a new algorithm of constraint acquisition for distributed constraint problem with two-agents (DisCP2A). We propose to improve the recent QuAcq system to ac- quire automatically such problem, this lead to a new system called Dis-QuAcq. We apply our basic approach in context of a distributed problem involving the acquisition of SensorDCP with two-mobile constraints. Finally, we conclude the paper.

Abstracts: The causes and manifestations of the writing apprehension phenomenon have been defined by different scholars in different countries. Whether it is in the EFL or ESL setting, students seem to display such skill-specific anxiety in varying degrees. This case study of one student in a hospitality school in the province of Cavite reveals that the phenomenon also manifests through the use of fillers, pauses, and repetitions to mean nervousness, doubt, strife in the use of the English language, and is caused by frustration as well. In a contstructivism-interpretivism lens, the reality of our case is weighed in order to pose his condition as he is placed in an OBE setting and the demanding workforce of the hospitality industry.

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the effect of Kaltonborn and Maitland Mobilization in adhesive capsulitis for decreasing pain and disability which occur due to limitation in activity of daily living. Material and method: This randomized control trail study was conducted in physiotherapy department Mayo Hospital, Lahore. Simple random sampling technique was castoff and overall of 40 subjects were contributed in this research. From the subjects after taking Informed consent data was collected. Self-made questionnaire was used. Numeric pain rating scale and SPADI index was used as an assessing tool for pain and disability,for data assortmentafterward inclusion criteria was contented. patient identified with adhesive capsulitis with limited range of motion, having pain and limitation of activity of daily living, age group 35-70 year, both genders were included, subject who willing to participate and History of shoulder arthritis, rotator cuff and ligament injuries, Malignancy, Peri arthritis shoulder are considered in exclusion criteria. Datawas evaluatedvia using SPSS 23.0 version and Microsoft excel 2010. Mean and standard deviation of age, pain, SPADI for disability pre and post treatment was calculated. The Frequency and percentage of gender, occupationwasanalyzed, and bar charts were used to present it. Wilcoxson sign test was used to assess the intensity of pain and Spadi disability pre and post treatment with in a group and Man Whitney u test were used to analyze pain and Spadi index between two groups. Results: There was significant difference in pain and disability (Spadi index) pre and post treatment in both groups and between the groups, p=0.000 (p<0.05) but Maitland seems to be more effective as compared to Kaltonborn. Mean value and standard deviation of kaltobnorn post treatment for NPRS and SPADI index was 3.4000±1.60263 and 21.4500±12.06768 while in Maitland its was 1.5500±0.75915 and 3.9500±2.39462. Conclusion: Majority frequency shows that of ration of diabetic and female gender were more in adhesive capsulitis.Both techniques were effective for managing patient of frozen shoulder, but Maitland technique was more effective as compared to Kaltonborn for reducing pain, increasing ranges and decreasing disability which would improve activity of daily livings (ADL’s).

Abstracts: â€˜Use and Throw’ policy adoption by users and manufacturers, lack of awareness and poor intermingled management practices, innovations and industrialisation has led to generation of E- waste which in coming years will be a considerable component Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). One of the major contributors of E- waste is engineering institutes due to mandatory provision of different facilities according to norms after IT and electronics sector. Engineering Institutes are being funded for development under different schemes for which the major purchase is of electronic gadgets. The quantity of E- waste as per AICTE norms is calculated theoretically and practically which comes out to be 0.334 tonnes / year for 7 years life cycle and 0.262 tonnes / year till the obsolescence of 2009 at institutes. If followed the norms of AICTE, the generation rate of E –waste can be kept still to minimum as compared to present rate of generation in future. This paper gives study of quantity calculation of E- waste generated theoretically and practically in one of the reputed Engineering Institutes which will further led to suggestion of optimisation for E – waste generated. This study will further be extended suitable management of E- waste through a mathematical model for Engineering Institutes.
