    Apiculturists’ issues and challenges:
    (IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019) Kupsch, Stephan; Palaoag, Thelma D.; Balcita, Amy
    The most significant activity of honey bees, as far as advantages to people, is their pollination of natural vegetation. Bees and other pollinators seem to be declining globally. Beekeeping in the Philippines is a thriving industry that perfectly matches the natural landscape of the country. The goal of this study was to define the challenges and issues of Apiculturists in the Philippines where-in an IT approach was formulated to address these issues. Up to now, there is no initiative Information Technology approach in the beekeeping industry in the Philippines. Design thinking has been used as methodology in this study. Several challenges and issues were determined, and it is stated that the main problem to be addressed in order for the bee colonies to have a longer lifespan is its Apiary Location, an IT solution via Drone Technology with a Computer Vision approach was proposed named as Apiary Locator. A proposed framework of the Apiary Locator has been prepared. It is then recommended for the Apiary Locator to be developed as it shall benefit the apiculturists of the Philippines. Also, it will be a basis for developing IT solutions for the Beekeeping industry.

    DEH-DoSv6:
    (Bulletin of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, 2021-02) Naagas, Marlon A.; Malicdem, Alvin R.; Palaoag, Thelma D.
    With the rapid depletion of IPv4 protocol in these recent years, the IETF introduced IPv6 as a solution to address the exhaustion, however, as a new protocol exists, new characteristics have been introduced and new threats have been discovered. Extension Headers are the new characteristics of IPv6 that have an emerging and re-emerging security threats that is needed to be taken into consideration during the full migration to the IPv6 network. This study revealed that up to this moment, the popular vendors are still vulnerable and doesn’t have any default protection to deal with extension headers’ Denial of Service Attack (DoS). Also, this study leads to the development of new security model which creates a new solution to address the emerging threats of IPv6 extension headers’ Denial of Service Attack. Moreover, the results of this study show that our proposed security model is more effective in terms of neutralizing the unwanted traffic causing evasion attack by filtering, rate-limiting and discarding the malformed packets of prohibited extension headers’ payload versus the traditional router protection.

    Kitikit: A mobile app for searching hand-carved wood products
    (Association for Computing Machinery, 2019) Balcita, Amy P.; Kupsch, Stephan; Palaoag, Thelma D.
    While the use of mobile apps has been very successful in developed countries around the globe, in Pugo La Union, Philippines especially in the wood carving industry, it does not have a significant presence. This research was conceptualized for the benefit of the woodcarving industry stakeholders, i.e., the wood carvers, market vendors, distributors, wholesalers, shop owners, and the government. Through this study, the researchers made an effort to examine the problems encountered by the woodcarving business owners and put forth a desirable recommendation, the design of a mobile application that is beneficial to the woodcarving industry. The researchers developed the KITIKIT, a mobile application to ease the searching for hand-carved wood products. KITIKIT has integrated Google Maps to allow users to trace the location of an establishment selling hand-carved wood products. Also, KITIKIT provides a facility for establishment owners to advertise by enabling them to upload pictures of their establishments and products, and provide relevant information such as price, contact details, customizations options. It is very significant for the woodcarving industry to develop and offer mobile apps to satisfy the purpose and needs of customers. Future researchers are encouraged to conduct a usability testing of the proposed mobile application. © 2019 Association for Computing Machinery.
