This study assessed the determinants of faculty research productivity in Augustinian higher education institutions (HEIs) in Luzon. Findings of the study suggest that there is still a need for Augustinian HEIs in Luzon to further advance the faculty members’ educational experiences and background in research particularly in giving exposures to current professional literature and in the dissemination of research findings. Majority of the higher education faculty of Augustinian higher education institutions has recognized the value of scholarship as shown by their interest in doing research and taking small steps in attaining real work of research scholar. The findings of the study indicate that there is so much that can be desired in terms of improving the research productivity of the faculty members of Augustinian schools. Faculty research productivity in Augustinian HEIs in Luzon is significantly influenced by the extent of research promotion of institutions in terms of promotion of the research environment and providing mentors’ assistance. Just like any other Philippine HEIs, Augustinian schools haggle similar problems and issues on research productivity such as budget availability, institutional support mechanism and others.

Essentially, the industrial and household solid waste management practices in Calumpit, the types, origin, and volume of wastes and the effects of the solid waste management practices to public health were assessed to develop a solid waste management plan for the local government unit of Calumpit. This study made use of descriptive survey of research that utilized locally constructed questionnaire as primary data gathering tool, substantiated by extensive documentary analysis. Solid waste management practices of households in Calumpit were partially implemented in terms of recycling, re-use, reduce, and prevention. Burning of wastes practices in the household level and partial implementation of composting was deduced from the study. Composting practices were not practiced among industries in Calumpit. Most of the household solid wastes were biodegradable, followed by recyclable, residual, and special wastes. Majority of industrial wastes were in the form of metals, textiles, and fiber glasses. Mortality and morbidity rates showed death rates and disease incidences that are caused by a deficiency in the functioning of the cardiopulmonary system. These incidences are associated to their waste management practices. Hence, backyard composting, vermiculture activities, and provision of intensive information and education campaigns involving the children are necessary.

Multiple intelligences and extracurricular activities are two variables that may affect a student's academic and nonacademic performance in school. This study aimed at describing and finding the relationship between multiple intelligences and participation rates in extracurricular activities of students from a Catholic educational institution. The study also used a descriptive-correlational design. For the respondents, the study randomly selected a sample of 200 students studying within the academic year of 2017-2018 from a Catholic educational institution. For the instrument, this study adapted the Multiple Intelligence Survey developed by Chislett and Chapman (2006) and Extracurricular Activities Survey by Kelley (2012). The study analyzed and treated statistically the collected data using rank and Spearman Rho with the help of SPSS 20. The findings revealed that visual intelligence emerged as the top-ranked multiple intelligences. Dance/ sports club emerged as the top extracurricular activities took part by most of the students. Also, there was no statistical evidence of the relationship between the multiple intelligences and participation rate to extracurricular activities of the students. Based on the result, the researchers provided pertinent recommendations for teachers, students, and the institution.
River systems throughout history have been the life source and support of allknown human civilizations. From being a constant food source and a vital link to the propagation of economic trails, river systems have gone beyond what isexpected of them. Such intricate connection that bonds rivers and human beings isneither without limit nor inevitable danger. The study assessed the environmentalcondition of selected sections of the Angat River located in Calumpit, Plaridel,Pulilan, Hagonoy and Paombong. Descriptive evaluation was primarily utilizedin determining the chemical, physical, and biological properties of the AngatRiver. The findings revealed that the: 1) Calumpit-Plaridel-Pulilan-HagonoyPaombongsections werewithin the standardpH parameter but werebiologicallypollutedas shownbyits high BiologicalOxygen Demand(BOD); 2) CalumpitPlaridel-PulilansectionshaveachancetorecoveronitsownbecauseofahighDissolvedOxygen (DO) content while the downstreamsections of HagonoyPaombongmay haveless chance to recoverdue to lowDO content; 3) riversectionswerepolluted with oil, grease,and TotalSuspendedSolids(TSS);and4)Calumpit-Plaridel-Pulilansections wereteeming with E.Coli microorganismcomparedwith the Hagonoy-Paombongsections which werefreeof E-Coli.Keywords: Environmental science, physio-biochemical fingerprints, environmentalinvestigation, program development, descriptive design, Philippines
Background: This study attempts at understanding the Aetas concept of maternal and infant care, specifically, beliefs and practices of Aeta mothers during pregnancy, childbirth and care of the infant. Methodology: Qualitative descriptive design was utilized in this research. Forty Aeta mothers were informants of this study selected via purposive sampling. Participant observation, formal and informal interviews and examination of relevant documents were the instruments for data collection. Findings: Most respondents were between 16-27 years old, from the province of Zambales, with two pregnancies and one living child. The majority had home deliveries attended by traditional birth attendants or next of kin and had visits to the Rural Health Units for a prenatal check-up. It was found that most Aeta mothers usually visit the Rural Health Unit in their second trimester. The mothers also rely on traditional beliefs and practices passed on from elders of the community particularly on diet, hygiene, and faith in God, preparation prior to delivery, cord care and use of placenta. Conclusion: The findings showed that the majority of the Aeta mothers interviewed adhered to some form of belief and practice that were passed to them by their elders. Implication: Stakeholders such as government and non-government organizations should pursue promoting and enriching beliefs and practices of the Aeta and reinforcing programs with an emphasis on indigenous minorities to follow safe delivery and motherhood practices that are culturally acceptable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
