Nursing students’ genomics literacy:
(Teaching and Learning in Nursing, 2023-01) Parviainen, Anndra; Ward, Linda D.; Halkoaho, Arja; Laing, Bobbi; Maguire, Jane; Palovaara, Marjo; Mandysova, Petra; Bacungan, Gabriel; Mamungay, Jima J.; Sund, Reijo; Mikkonen, Santtu; Carlberg, Carsten; Katri Vehviläinen-Julkunen
This study aimed to investigate the genomics literacy of Finnish and Filipino nursing students as a basis for developing a genomics nursing education course. This is a cross-sectional online survey using the 31-item Genomic Nursing Concept Inventory, IBM SPSS version 27, and item-analysis. A total of 245 nursing students participated in the study; 75% reported that they had not completed any genetics-genomics courses. The GNCI scores ranged from 2 to 31 total correct answers out of a total possible score of 31. The GNCI mean score of the Finnish cohort (9.53; SD = 3.48; 36% correct) was significantly lower compared to the Filipino cohort (16.21; SD = 9.74, 58% correct). These results show that the genomics literacy of nursing students in Finland and the Philippines is weak, particularly in human genome homogeneity and genotype-phenotype association concepts. We recommend designing effective genetic and genomic educational programs and updating the nursing curricula.
Performance of Student Leaders in Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University Mid La Union Campus
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - Mid La Union Campus, 2017-01) Laroya, Leah A.; Carreon, Jenilyn P.; Fontanilla, Cristina C.; Mangaoang, Lazel Q.; Riotoc, Carlo; Flores, Benedick Adrian C.; Pimentel, Ma. Athena L.; Rodriguez, Dulce M.; Arnobit, Maria Luisa B.
School leaders are essential in energizing and bringing of dynamism to school’s atmosphere. This study aimed to assess the performance in Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University Mid La Union Campus by the performance in implementing programs, projects, activities, rules, regulation and policies. It also aimed to assess the leadership skills of student leaders in terms of planning, decision-making and management. The study also aimed to determine the significant difference of the level of performance and leadership skills of the student-leaders. The researchers made use of descriptive method to gain information on the determination of the performance of student-leaders using a questionnaire checklist. Data from the study show that the perception of students and student-leaders is good. There is also a significant relationship between the level of performance and level of leadership skills of student¬ leaders.
Factors influencing adoption of selected peanut protection and production technologies in Northern Luzon, Philippines
(Technology in Society, 2018-11) Launio, Cheryll C.; Luis, Janet S.; Angeles, Yolanda B.
The peanut is the world's second most important legume, and peanut and peanut-based products have a large potential in the Philippines and other tropical developing countries both in terms of import substitution and export promotion. This study used survey data to describe the socioeconomic and technological level of peanut farmers in major peanut-producing areas in the country, and determine the adoption factors and constraints for selected technologies. A total of 296 farmers in 10 provinces were interviewed in 2015. The binary logit model was applied to explore the farm-level factors affecting the adoption of selected technologies (seed inoculant, seed treatment, chemical fertilizer and pesticides) for peanut farming. Results indicate that decision factors vary per technology but relatively consistent drivers to technology adoption are farmer gender, attendance to seminar or training in peanut production, availability of irrigation source, and membership in organization. Household size was an adoption constraint in select technologies. Technology uptake was also influenced by regional differences. Implications are increased provision of seminars and trainings for peanut farmers; facilitation of farmers' organizations; support by local government units (LGUs) in technology promotion, and ensuring adequate irrigation. Informing decision makers on the factors and constraints to adoption of these technologies will largely make for evidence-based policymaking. The adoption of the selected technologies covered in this study will not only improve farmers' yield and income, but may eventually contribute to lower production cost per unit and lower prices in the long run, which has implications to the whole value-chain of peanut and peanut-based products.
GSM-Based monitoring system for egg incubator
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University – Mid La Union Campus, 2024-01) Estrada, Jumarie C.; Acosta, Sheena A.; Fuclan, Ariel H.; Mosomos, Lemar L.; Laureaga, Rene A.; Marquez, Emanuel Godwin T.; Flores, Dwight Kristian A.; Armiendo, Mary Jean C.; Dalao, Nathaniel B.; Mila, Merryll Faye R.
Agriculture plays a significant role in the development of civilization including agricultural productivity that would significantly impact macro factors like economic growth. Specifically, a portion of the animal industry in agriculture around the world is the production of poultry. Due to the rising demand for poultry meat and eggs as nutritious proteins, this business has grown more significant. This study aimed to design, construct, and evaluate the technical performance of the developed GSM-Based Monitoring System for the Egg Incubator to monitor its temperature, humidity, and efficiency. Utilizing the descriptive and developmental research designs focused on the engineering design process, the researchers successfully developed an efficient GSM-Based egg incubator monitoring system. Based on the recorded data, the researchers’ assessment of the device indicated that it can monitor and control the temperature and humidity of the GSM-Based monitoring system of the egg incubator. Furthermore, the hatching efficiency of the incubator is 80.33%.
Enhanced Root Crop Washer (ERCW)
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University – Mid La Union Campus, 2024-05) Daclan, Remirose E.; Eugenio, Angelle Alana M.; Noriega, Matt Aaron R.; Soliweg, Milky V.; Sunio, Flipper Throwa R.; Cabradilla, Bonifacio Jr.; Meana, Melchor A.; Lastica, Geraldine F.; Medriano Jr., Pablo M.
This study focuses on the development, fabrication and evaluation of an Enhanced Root Crop Washer. It deals with the function of washing various root crops available in the market such as peanuts, sweet potato, ginger, carrots and cassava. Project development research design was applied to this project study and enabled the researchers to develop an improved machine which was also tested and evaluated through the descriptive evaluative research design. Findings show that the machine has a high cleaning efficiency and a throughput capacity of 0.22136 kg/sec which indicates that the ERCW is a highly efficient machine.
