There are no off-site copies of this title. See all... This study sought farmers' aspirations, motivations, perceptions and attitudes towards selected aspects of the Philippine Cotton Production Program, and finally, their response to the program in terms of the adoption of the recommended cultural and management practices in cotton. One hundred twenty-six farmers were the respondents in this study. The data were gathered by means of a structured interview schedule. The major findings were: Cotton farmers had an average age of 45.97. All respondents except three were married. The average family size was five. The majority had formal schooling and had been farming for an average of 22 years. Their average gross annual income was P4,484.00; however, 87.44 percent had other sources of income. The main motivations of farmers for venturing into this endeavor were economic, impelled and motivation for competency in cotton farming. Age of the cotton farmer was significantly related to the farmers' perception of the recommended cultural and management practices and the availability of production credit. Level of education was found to have a significant but negative relationship with availability of production credit and production inputs. Income was found to be significantly related to the economic aspect of the cotton production program and farming experience was found to be significantly related to the farmers' perception of the recommended cultural and management practices, and the economic aspect of the program. The preferred age of the technician was found to be significantly related to the farmers' perception of the recommended cultural and management practices. Accessibility of the technician was found to be significantly related to the farmers' perception of the recommended practices, availability of production credit and inputs. Frequency of contact with the technician was found to be significantly related to the recommended practices, availability of production credit and production inputs and the economic aspect of the program, while the perceived competence of the technician was found to be significantly related to the farmers' perception of the recommended cultural and management practices, and the availability of production credit and inputs. On attitude, the level of educational attainment was significantly related to the farmers' attitude on the recommended cultural and management practices and the availability of production inputs. Income was significantly related to the farmers' attitude towards the recommended practices and the economic aspect of the program. Farming experience was significantly related to the farmers' attitude on the recomended cultural and management practices, the availability of production credit, availability of production inputs and the economic aspect of the program. The accessibility of the technician was significantly related to the farmers' attitude towards the availability of production inputs. Frequency of contact with the technician was found to be significantly related to the farmers' attitude toward the recommended cultural and management practices and to the economic aspect of the program. The perceived competence of the technician was found to have a relationship with the farmers' attitude towards the availability of production credit and the economic aspect of the program. Adoption was found to have a significant relationship with the farmers' peerception and attitude towards recommended cultural and management practices in cotton.
Assessment of insects diversity in the ecotone of Sitio Bulac, Barangay General Luna, Carranglan Nueva Ecija
(2018) Alfredo D. Abad Jr.
Researches in the past decades had focused on distinct ecological regions, communities, and ecosystem but areas of transition between these regions have received much less attention. In the face of global climate and environmental changes it has been argued that ecotones deserve special conservation investment, potentially being speciation and biodiversity hotspots that hold relatively resilient populations. This study aimed to assess the diversity of insects in the forest grassland ecotone of Sitio Bulac, Barangay General Luna, Carranglan, Nueva Ecija. A total of 48 species of insects were observed in the four stations of the forest-grassland ecotone and were classified and identified into 10 orders and 35 families. A species in the Family Formicidae obtained the highest species importance value among all other species of insects observed in the study area with a value of 15.3%, 48.21% and 66.38% respectively. Using Shannon Diversity Index it was determined that the ecotone has a high diversity of insects with a value of 3.45 despite human interventions. some human activities in the area such as kaingin farming and fire are identified as major threats that may lead to biodiversity loss in the ecotone of Sitio Bulac, Barangay General Luna, Carranglan Nueva Ecija. other environmental threats that have small impacts to the ecosystems are pollution, mining, charcoal making and soil erosion / silt run-off.

(2018) Noel M. Salvador
The detection of presence of abortifacient bacterial agents in Nueva Ecija was the focus of this study. Specifically, it detected the presence of abortifacient bacterial agents’ Leptospira sp. And Brucella sp. in buffalo within selected cities and municipalities of Nueva Ecija with history and/or current abortion cases using nested Polymerase Chain Reaction (nPCR) and Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT), and determined the positive rate of Leptospirosis and Brucellosis in Nueva Ecija. A total of one hundred (100) serum samples and one hundred (100) urine samples from randomly selected buffaloes were collected for this study. Urine samples for Leptospira sp. were subjected to DNA extraction protocol and amplification using nPCR assay. The nPCR product were subjected to gel electrophoresis and viewed under UV transilluminator to confirm the presence of DNA bands lined at approximately 730 base pair. Serum samples for Brucella sp. were subjected RBPT, and was observed for the presence of antibody through agglutination reaction. Results revealed that the positive rate of Leptospirosis in Nueva Ecija was 7%. The positive animals identified were from the municipality of Carranglan (3/15; 20%), Science City of Munoz (2/14; 14.28%) and San Jose City (2/15; 13.33%). The positive rate of Nueva Ecija for Brucellosis was 15.39% (2/13) in which, only General Mamerto Natividad has shown a positive result.

(2018) Mikko Angelo G. Reyes
The study evaluated the cardiac functions of dogs infected with Dirofilaria immitis infection, using 2D and M-mode ultrasonography. A total of 15 heartworm positive adult dogs tested using MCT, aged 3.8+2.62 years old, weighed 9.78+4.99kg, with body composition score of 4.73+1.06 were examined. Among the 15 animals only six (40%) have clinical symptoms, animals are then prepared for ultrasonography evaluation. Adult canine heartworms (HW) were visible as two parallel lines separated by a very thin hypoechoic center located within the right pulmonary artery. Sometimes extending to the main pulmonary artery and right ventricle. HW was visible only in ten (60.67%) dogs with varying worm loads. The results of this study showed that there were alterations in some chamber measurements and functions and right pulmonary artery distensibility index of heartworm positive dogs based on their body weight and the established reference values.
Assessment of role awareness and performance of Barangay Captains in San Jose City
(2018) Rubia D. Hernandez
The general objective of the study is to assess the role awareness and performance of barangay captains in San Jose City. Findings revealed that the assessment on their level of awareness has an overall mean of 4.04 which is slightly higher than the ratings of Sangguniang Barangay and other barangay officials which has an overall mean of 3.86. This implied that barangay captains have a high level of awareness in their roles or functions in the barangay government. As regard role performance, barangay captains were rated "High" in all the three indicators (projects and programs implemented, ordiannces/resolutions authored and conflict resolution) as assessed by the Sangguniang Barangay and other barangay officials. Self-assessment of the respondents also revealed a higher level of role performance. Result of the t-test showed that there is no significant differnce between the ratings of the barangay captains and other barangay officials. Hence, the assessment done by the barangay captains in their performance is similar to what the other barangay officials observe in their performance.

(2018) Rizajoy C. Bulatao
A total of 30 isolates of Rhizoctonia solani AG1-1A were collected from different rice based farming systems in Nueva Ecija. After subjecting to molecular identification, results showed that 8 isolates were classified as Rhizoctonia oryzae and 22 isolates were Rhizoctonia solani AG1-1A. R. solani isolani were tested for diversity using VNTR analysis. Bands were assessed using NTSYSpc 2.0. Six isolates were found identical with 0.88 similarity coefficient from cluster I and II. However, remaining subgroup isolates from both cluster I and II were diverse having a range of 0.65 to 0.85 similarity coefficient. Twenty two isolates of R. solani AG1-1A were subjected to pathogenicity test by determining relative lesion height, disease incidence (%) and diseases severity (%). Seven (7) days after inoculation (DAI), seven isolates, SJCPAL 1 RC SJCPAL 1 RC, SCMM1 RR, SCMM2 RR, SCMBAN 1 RR, SCMBAN2 RR and SCMBAN4 RR did not able to produce lesions while the other 15 isolates produced necrotic lesion. Fourteen (140 days after inoculation, all isolates were able to caused typical symptom of sheath blight with irregular shaped dark brown lesions. Results also showed that all the isolates were aggressive producing more than 60% disease severity at 21 days after inoculation and among the 22 isolates, only 3 of them, SJCC 1 RC, SCMBS 1 RR and SCMBS 2 RR, resulted to 100% infection, where necrosis across the entire leaf and sheath section was observed.
Queer Euphemism in Central Luzon State University: Gayspeak’s desensitization of Filipino Profane and taboo words
(2019) Kathleen Joy A Garcia
This study sought to prove that Gayspeak (Gay Lingo) desensitization Filipino profane and taboo words inside Central Luzon State University. From the word “desensitization” means Gay Lingo can make sensitive words less offensive. Political Correctness Theory by Allan and Burridge and Politeness Theory by Brown and Levinson were used for the theoretical framework of the study and to analyze the desensitization process of Gay Lingo as a tool for euphemism. A survey was conducted to the students of Central Luzon State University. The researcher also conducted a Focused Group Discussions with the homosexuals inside the university, for data triangulation and validation. Results found that the morphologic process of Gay Lingo makes gay words less offensive and more acceptable when in use, that the strategies in the word formation of Gay Lingo helped to make it less offensive. Finally, results found that Gayspeak (Gay Lingo) desensitizes Filipino profane and taboo words. 73.3% of the respondents in the survey questionnaire chose Gay words as less offensive and more acceptable in ordinary discourse. Respondents chose Gay words with the reason that it is more acceptable/ less offensive and somehow it creates an entirely new meaning and it is not understandable.

(2019) Rommel Dave C. Reyes
Citrofortunella microcarpa, belonging to family Rutaceae, is one of the most important commercial fruit crops grown in the Philippines. Endophytes are found in various plant tissue types. Endophytic fungi produce valuable enzymes that are relatively unexplored which are useful to pharmaceutical and agricultural industries. Thus, this study was conducted to evaluate the enzymatic ability of endophytic fungi isolated from C. microcarpa stem and leaves that would provide an information on the diversity and ability to produce fungal enzymes. The present study evaluated the fungal enzymatic ability of fungal endophytes found in C. microcarpa leaves and stem. Fungal isolates were identified based on their cultural and morphological caharacteristics. then, their identity were confirmed using molecular methods. isolated fungi were tested for their ability to produce amylase, cellulase, laccase and protease. A total of 11 fungal endophytes where isolated from stem and leaves of Citrofortunella microcarpa namely: Collectrichum fracticola, Collectotrichum siamense, Fusarium oxysporium, lasiodiplodia theobromae, Nigrospora oryzae, Nigrospora rubi, Nodulisporium indicum, Colletorichum, gloeosporiodes, Phomposis azadirachtae, Phyllosticta capitalensis, and an unidentified species under the Order Pleosporales. All the endophytic fungal isolates showed production of amylases. The highest production of amylase were from P. capitalensis, followed by the unidentified species and Nigrospora oryzae. Furthermore, a total of four species of endophytic fungi namely: L. theobromae, N. oryzae, C. gloeosporioides and the unidentified species had potential for cellulose degradation. The species of fungi that had the largest enzymatic index for cellulose activity was the unidentified species of Pleosporales. meanwhile, among the tested organisms for the extracellular protease activity positive results were observed in the unidentified species. F. oxysporium and P. azadirachtae were producer of laccase enzyme.

(2019) Lattizia Danyelle P. Vega
Antibiotics are used by humans and animals for treatment of disease, feed, efficiency and growth improvement. Bacterial species became resistant to different antibiotics resulting to high morbidity and mortality rate due to use and misuse of antibiotics. The aim of this study was to isolate Salmonella from caecal contents of the broiler chicken and assess its antimicrobial resistance to different antimicrobial agents. A total number of 72 samples were collected from selected Accredited Poultry Dressing Plants of Central Luzon . Out of this 72 samples, 66 showed positive results for the detection of Salmonella spp. through Vitek GN card. All isolates were found to be sensitive to 5 antimicrobials, namely: Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin, Ofloxacin, Tigecycline and Colistin and resistant to 4 antimicrobials, namely Cefuroxime, Cefuroxime Axetil, Cefoxitin and Gentamicin. Moreover, all Salmonella spp. isolates were multiple drug resistant since they were found to be resistant to three or more antimicrobials. The Salmonella spp. isolated in this study are resistant to different antimicrobial agents, specifically, antimicrobial agents used in poultry farming.

(2019) Jomel R. Alanzalon and Wendell P.Leobrera
Survival analysis was used in this study to determine the distribution of survival times of dengue patients confined in San Jose City general Hospital-PMDT STC (SJCGH-PMDT STC) using Kaplan –Meier Estimator, a nonparametric technique. Dengue is an acute viral illness caused by Aedes mosquitoes, In the Philippines, it is considered as one of its eight pervasive diseases infecting almost 179,540 Filipinos from January 1, 2018 to November 17, 2018. Thus it is important to conduct a study for the said ailment. Records of dengue patients from the years 2017 to 2018 were gathered from the records section of SJCGH-PMDT STC. The data included the social characteristics of patients such as age, sex and civil status and other factors such as presence of Dengvaxia and ward type the patients were admitted. All in all, there were a total of 297 documented accounts of dengue cases and of these, 246 were put in survival analysis and 51 were censored. There is no death recorded in the gathered data. The average length of stay of dengue patients in the hospital who either survived or got censored is 9.4141+0.2012 days. The shortest and longest length of stays of dengue patients were two (2) days and twenty three (23), respectively, Kaplan Meier Estimator gives the estimated median survival time which is nine (9) days, wherein survival estimate was found to be 51.45 percent, meaning after 9 days, 51-45 percent of dengue patients were discharged from the hospital. Logrank test shown that age, civil status and ward type patients were admitted were significant factors that affect the length of survival of dengue patient. While sex and Dengvaxia did not affect the length of survival of dengue patients, while sex and Dengvaxia did not affect the length of survival of dengue patients. Males and those individuals aged 24 and below more likely to be infected by the disease.
Optimized cost of feed for Boer Bucks using Mathematical Programming
(2019) Dianne Lyka V. Tejero and Marvin B. Gabriel
The main goal of this study is to minimize the cost of feed for Boer bucks subject to the nutritional value of the feeds and nutritional requirement of goats. The minimum cost was based on the optimized linear programming model using simplex method. The linear programming model was formulated using the literary data of the daily nutrient requirement of bucks and the nutrient content of Corn Stover, Guinea grass, Ipil-ipil leaf meal, Napier grass, Pangola grass and Paragrass as technical coefficients. The simplex method was applied manually to determine the optimal solution. In addition, for comparison and confirmation purposes, the Microsoft’s Excel Solver was also used. Both methods showed similar results that, among Corn Stover, Guinea grass, Ipil-ipil leaf meal, Napier grass, Pangola grass and Paragrass, Boer bucks should be daily fed with a mix of 4,17079 pounds or 1.89151 kilograms of Corn Stover and 2.31317 pounds or 1.04906 kilograms of Ipil-ipil leaf meal which will only cost roughly 4 pesos (Php 3.99163) daily per goat or around Php 1,500 per goat in one year. In a goat farming plan from the website goat farming in the cost of feed is Php 15.00 per kilogram which is higher when compared to the result of his study.
Analyzing the Robustness of Gapan City Road Network against different attacking strategies
(2019) Gwhyneth D. Eliscupidez, Rolea-Lyn S. Asirot
Roads are vital in the everyday routine of people for they provide avenues for faster transport and connectivity between locations. Roads are needed to function at least partially, especially when there are natural or man-made disasters for rescue and supplication of goods and services. In this study, the robustness of Gapan City Road network against different attacking strategies was analysed. The road network of Gapan was represented by an undirected graph, where the vertices are the barangays and the edges are the National, Provincial, and Municipal roads. The three different strategies are; removing vertices based on closeness centrality, removing vertices based on betweenness centrality, and removing vertices randomly. The study reveals that Gapan City road network is most vulnerable when it is attacked based on degrading order of betweenness centrality, and it is most robust when it is attacked randomly. The critical vertices are Bayanihan, Bulak, Mangino, San Roque, Santa Cruz and Santo Cristo Norte.

Politeness or impoliteness in Joyce E. Bernal’s Super Parental Guardians: an application of Jonathan Culpepers’ Impoliteness Theory using a Filipino film
(2019) Meliza B. Labbao
This research was conducted to determine the impoliteness super strategies utilized in the film, “Super Parental Guardians”. The ten (10) selected scenes were analyzed using the Impoliteness Theory of Jonathan Culpeper (1996). The responses and reasons of the respondents of Brgy. Bical science City of Munoz regarding impoliteness was analyzed using Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis: Linguistic Relativity (1956). The results revealed that all the five (5) impoliteness super strategies were portrayed in the film as communicative strategies to show impoliteness. The Ilocano and Tagalog respondents portrayed differences in presenting different reasons showing the culture and social reality of their language regarding impoliteness. The notions of impoliteness super strategies, sarcasm and withhold impoliteness are not portrayed in the culture of their language. Therefore, this study is a presentation of varying perspective reflective of their cultural ideologies regarding impoliteness proposed by Culpeper in the community of Brgy. Bical as reflected in the film “Super parental Guardians”. Herein, it reflects that linguistic impoliteness is linguistically relative to the culture of specific communities.

(2019) Loidel E. Gagelonia
The principles of allelopathy allow the synthesis of herbicides from the plant secondary metabolites, which is beneficial for sustainable weed management. This study evaluated the inhibitory effect of the powdered sample and crude extract from avocado (Persea americana)leaves on the seed germination and seedling growth of barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli)in vitro and in vivo. The crude extract from avocado leaves was prepared using 85% ethanol. The determination of phenolic compounds was done using Ferric Chloride test for tannins, Dragendorff test for alkaloids, and Shinola test for flavonoids. Total phenolic content was determine using Folin-Ciocalteu assay. Weedicide bioassay was done to determine the inhibitory activity of powdered sample and crude extraction the seed germination and seedling growth of E.crus-galli. Phytochemical tests for phenolic compounds determined the presence of tannins and flavonoids on the crude extract from avocado leaves. The calculated phenolic content from the Folin-Ciocalteu assay was 356.43≠27.87 ug GAE per mg of dry extract. The powdered sample and crude extract from avocado leaves inhibited the seed germination and seedling growth of E.crusgalli in all the concentrations used (1,3,6, and 10ppm).The powdered sample and crude extract from avocado leaves had inhibitory effect on the seed germination and seedling growth of Echinochloa crus-galli, therefore avocado leaves are a potential weedicide.
Determinants of neonatal mortality among married women in the Philippines using Count Regression Models
(2019) Niccolo Aaaron M. Alcantara
In the past few years, trends of infant and under-five mortality in the Philippines declined steadily, but in the case of neonatal mortality. Thus, there is a great concern on how to further reduce the number of neonatal deaths in the country. One of the best ways to analyze the occurrence of neonatal death is to develop count regression models. In this study, Poisson, negative binomial, zero inflated Poisson, and zero-inflated negative binomial regression models were used to establish an appropriate count regression model to identify the significant determinants of neonatal mortality among married women. Based on various selection criteria, zero-inflated negative binomial model was proved to be superior. The variables ever had multiple births, ever had birth within 2 years of the preceding birth, geographical location, woman’s age, total number of pregnancies, number of household members, and age at first birth were found to be significant determinants of neonatal mortality among married women.
Field practice report under the green energy project research at Central Luzon State University (CLSU)
(2019) Christian A. Andres
The field practice was conducted at Brgy. Bagabag, Nueva Ecija Viscaya. The field practice was composed of two major activities; these were installation of drip irrigation system and evaluation of biogas driven pump system in terms of using biogas as fuel and the economic cost benefits of using the biogas driven pump for pump irrigation with drip system. The drip irrigation system consists of a main line, submains, lateral, and emitters. The main line delivers water to the submains, and the submains deliver water into laterals. The objective for the installation of drip irrigation system was to evaluate based on the discharge delivered per plant in one day irrigation. The procedure was adivide the planting area in two for irrigation scheduling. The dripline used was pressure compensating dripline fitted with silicon diaphragm that reacts to pressure by creating counter resistance to the water flowing out with the dripper. The expected result in all plant was a discharge of 1 liter of water per hour due to the pressure compensating dripline that delivered precise and equal water anywhere in the field in regardless of changes in pressure due to long rows or changes in terrain. Biogas plant used to process animal wastes or manure to produce biogas and sludge consisting of an inlet mixing tank, digester, gas chamber and outlet/sludge tank Biogas is a type of bio-fuel, which primarily consists of methane and carbon dioxide. Thus, the biogas was proved that it can be applicable substitute as fuel by retrofitted four strokes ICE. The objectives were to compare the consumed biogas to the gasoline consumed in 9 hours operation; and to compute the economic cost benefits of using the biogas driven pump for pump irrigation with drip system. The evaluation of biogas driven pump, the procedure was made a bypass to secure the inlet of manure inside the digester. The biogas utilization for one day with continuous feeding of manure was 5.12 cubic meter and the remaining 1.68 cubic meter volume of biogas can be used as fuel for other ICE application and cooking, respectively. The gas remainder 1.97 cubic meter can be used for other business venture that uses energy. The performance evaluation was carried out in four stroke ICE shows that this can be used as an automotive fuel with a comparatively much lesser operation cost than the conventional fuels. However the power observed was less than that of liquid fuel. The ICE took approximately 15 hours and 25 minutes before the biogas was drained. The results show some failure due to incorrect retrofitting of biogas system and another factor was the dynamic pressure inside the digester.
Comprehensive semestral report at National Irrigation Administration - upper Pampanga river integrated irrigation system (NIA-UPRIIS) Division IV
(2019) Janeth J. Socorro
The two-month field practice program was fulfilled, conducted and completed at the NIA-UPRIIS Division IV, Bayanihan, Gapan City, Nueva Ecija. The activity for field practice focused on calibrating and creating stage-discharge ratings of the irrigation canals under NIA-UPRIIS Division IV. The irrigation canals (Penris Main Canals, Lateral G2, Lateral D, Lateral D (acg), Lateral D (bcg), and Guinandusan Creek) are located in Gapan City, Peñaranda and San Miguel. The water depth, canal width and water velocity were used to determine the cross-sectional and water discharge of each irrigation canal. the calibration of canals within areas of NIA-UPRIIS Division IV were done to update the needed water discharge of the irrigation canal. The determined value of discharge was used to generate rating curve and rating table. The rating curves of the canals (Penris Main Canal, Lateral G2, Lateral D, Lateral D (acg), Lateral D (bcg) and Guinandusan Creek) were created using the gauge height and observed discharge. The rating tables were created using the gauge heights, observed discharges, computed discharges and percent differences of the canals. Results revealed that the actual flow rate of penris Main Canal, Lateral G2,Lateral D, Lateral D (acg), Lateral D (bcg) and Guinandusan Creek under NIA-UPRIIS Division IV was higher than the water discharge. The rating curve of Penris Main Canal, Lateral G2, Lateral D, Lateral D (acg), Lateral D (bcg) and Guinandusan Creek shows that as the gauhe height increases, the actual discharge also increases. The rating table of Penris Main Canal, Lateral G2, Lateral D, Lateral D (acg), Lateral D (bcg) and Guinandusan Creek shows that as the gauge height increases, the corresponding discharge also increases.
