Community Evaluation on The Effects of Tourism in Doot Poktoy, Lanuza

Doot Poktoy is an emerging surfing destination in Mindanao. In developing tourism, Policymakers could aim for long-term tourism growth. Sustainable tourism is intensely dependent on the host community's support, view, and contribution to tourism programs; this safeguards the community and diminishes any adverse effects that can harm the environment and culture. However, literature is scarce about comparing the positive and negative effects of tourism. Thus, this paper focuses on the following objectives: Determine the positive and negative effects of tourism and; Test the significant difference between the positive and negative responses. The study gathered 93 responses from Doot Poktoy residents'. It utilized the descriptive approach, with questionnaires indicating the agreement level in the values of tourism development: economic, socio-cultural, and environmental. The results revealed that the respondents had experienced both negative and positive effects of tourism and that they have a more negative view of tourism than a positive one.

GENETIC DIVERGENCE AMONG MAIZE (ZEA MAYS L.) INBRED LINES USING MORPHOMETRIC MARKERS

Genetic divergence study is imperative in breeding programmes in order to select distant parents. Forty maize inbred lines were assessed using morphometric markers to identify the potential inbred lines for yield and its component traits. The inbred lines were raised in ÃŽÂ±-RBD design replicated twice during kharif 2019. The morphological diversity analysis was done as per the standard statistical procedures using Mahalanobis D2-statistic. Analysis of variance revealed significant mean sum of squares due to genotypes for all the traits suggesting ample amount of genetic variability present among them. Moderate PCV, GCV and high heritability coupled with moderate genetic advance was observed for grain yield per plant, plant and cob placement height. Grain yield per plant exhibited significant positive correlation with all the traits except days to 50 per cent pollen shed and silking. Path analysis revealed high direct effects of days to 50 per cent pollen shed, harvest index, grains per row and 100 grain-weight on grain yield per plant therefore these morphometric traits would be the best selection indices to select high yielding genotypes. D2-statistics grouped 40 maize genotypes into three clusters. Cluster III has the highest cluster mean values for all the traits.Seven genotypes viz., 4186-4-05-1-1, LM-14, BAJIM-08-27, BIOM 10, LQPM24ÃƒÂ—1114-5, 9180-2, LDH 5(Vivek-21-1) were superior over the best check on the basis of mean performance and disease resistance and were diverse therefore, could be used in maize improvement program.
Raton Basin Induced Seismicity Is Hosted by Networks of Short Basement Faults and Mimics Tectonic Earthquake Statistics

The Raton Basin has been an area of injection induced seismicity for the past two decades. Previously, the reactivated fault zone structures and spatiotemporal response of seismicity to evolving injection have been poorly constrained due to sparse publicly available seismic monitoring. The application of a machine‐learning phase picker to 4 years of continuous seismic data from a local array enables the detection and location of ∼38,000 earthquakes. The events from 2016 to 2020 are ∼2.5–6 km below sea level and range from ML < −1 to 4.2. Most earthquakes occur within previously identified ∼N‐S zones of seismicity, however our new catalog illuminates that these zones are composed of many short faults with variable orientations. The two most active zones, the Vermejo Park and Tercio zones, are potentially linked by small intermediate faults. In total, we find ∼60 short (<3 km long) basement faults with strikes from WNW to NNE. Faulting mechanisms are predominantly normal but some variability, including reverse dip‐slip and oblique‐slip, is observed. The Trinidad fault zone, which previously hosted a Mw 5.3 earthquake in 2011, is quiescent during 2016–2020, likely in response to both slow accumulation of tectonic strain after the 2011 sequence, and the significant decrease (80% reduction) in nearby wastewater injection from 2012 to 2016. Unlike some other regions, where induced seismicity was triggered in response to higher injection rates, the Raton Basin's frequency‐magnitude and spatiotemporal statistics are not distinguishable from tectonic seismicity. The similarity suggests that seismicity in the Raton Basin is predominantly releasing tectonic stress.
Detecting the Locations and Predicting the Maintenance Costs of Compound Architectural Debts

Architectural Technical Debt (ATD) refers to sub-optimal architectural design in a software system that incurs high maintenance “interest” over time. Previous research revealed that ATD has significant negative impact on daily development. This paper contributes an approach to enable an architect to precisely locate ATDs, as well as capture the trajectory of maintenance cost on each debt, based on which, predict the cost of the debt in a future release. The ATDs are expressed in four typical patterns, which entail the core of each debt. Furthermore, we aggregate compound ATDs to capture the complicated relationship among multiple ATD instances, which should be examined together for effective refactoring solutions. We evaluate our approach on 18 real-world projects. We identified ATDs that persistently incur significant (up to 95 percent of) maintenance costs in most projects. The maintenance costs on the majority of debts fit into a linear regression model—indicating stable “interest” rate. In five projects, 12.1 to 27.6 percent of debts fit into an exponential model, indicating increasing “interest” rate, which deserve higher priority from architects. The regression models can accurately predict the costs of the majority of (82 to 100 percent) debts in the next release of a system. By aggregating related ATDs, architects can focus on a small number of cost-effective compound debts, which contain a relatively small number of source files, but account for a large portion of maintenance costs in their projects. With these capabilities, our approach can help architects make informed decisions regarding whether, where, and how to refactor for eliminating ATDs in their systems.
Social Support and Quality of Life Among People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in Ghana

Utilization of antiretroviral therapies (ART) prolongs life and heightens ability to engage in productive activities among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). This study implemented a 6-week long Social Care Intervention (SCI) Program in Ghana and identified protective factors associated with Quality of Life (QoL) among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). We discovered that SCI model in the form of social support associated positively with differences in the QoL among PLWHA. Logistic regression revealed that social support, especially affectionate support, was positively associated with a higher level of QoL. People who were older and healthier tended to have higher levels of QoL compared with their counterparts who were younger and sicker. These findings suggest that building social support system can serve as an empowerment approach to promote quality of life among PLWHA in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where resources are limited.
Analyzing the Pandemic Effect on Time series Prediction of Demand and Sales Manufacturing Product

The purpose of this study is to predict the demand and sales of plastic products in 2021 accompanied by the Covid 19 pandemic. This research is a quantitative descriptive study using time series forecasting methods and data analysis using Microsoft Excel. The data used as research is sales and monthly demand data for the years 2018-2020, totaling thirty-six data. Data collection was done by using documentation method. Analysis of the 2018-2020 data shows fluctuating demand and sales data. The 2018-2020 sales data research revealed fluctuations in demand and sales, influenced by the general annual season and the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic. Analysis of the demand forecast for 2021 gives the highest demand results in December and the lowest demand in June. Forecasting sales, the highest result in October, and the lowest sales in June. This means that fluctuations in demand and sales are affected by seasonality and government regulations. Based on this analysis, it can be concluded that forecasting using the time series forecasting method gives inaccurate results because there are many unexpected events, one of which is the Covid-19 pandemic which causes the local government to issue new regulations for sellers of examples of changes in selling prices. Therefore, the company must prepare the right strategy to deal with events that do not match expectations. Keywords—demand forecasting, sales forecasting, time series forecasting
Failure mechanism of Ω-shape 3D orthogonal woven composite component under transverse low-velocity impact and subsequent axial compression load

Failure mechanism of complex profile component is always different from that of conventional plate counterpart due to the coupling effect of material and structure. In this work, the low-velocity impact (LVI) and compression after impact (CAI) behaviors of Ω-shape hybrid carbon/Kevlar 3 D orthogonal woven (3DOW) composite made for vehicle B-pillar were comprehensively studied by mechanical tests and mesoscale finite element (FE) analysis at component level, high-speed infrared (IR) thermal imaging, acoustic emission (AE) detection, and microscopic damage morphology characterization. It is found that a through-thickness stress concentration ring leads to high stress state and damage zone penetrating from the impact side to non-impact side along the ring path instead of at the lowest impactor position. The slope effect can not only help the stress conduction downward, but also inhibit the damage propagation from the impact side to the slope. Impact-induced cracks are concentrated around the R corners and extended along the axial direction of the specimen, forming the strip-shaped damage concentration zone along the upper eave of the slope. The Progressive Top-Down Crushing (PTDC) mode of compression after impact is due to the complex deformation process of each yarn such as squeezing, folding and eversion in the crushing process from the top of specimen. And the Middle Indentation Fracture (MIF) mode is the result of bending instability and abrupt fracture. This work presents a reference significance for the further development of composite strengthening components in vehicle bodywork.
Comments on “Potential Vorticity Mixing and Rapid Intensification in the Numerically Simulated Supertyphoon Haiyan (2013)”

: In a recent paper, Tsujino and Kuo proposed that the rapid intensiﬁcation of Supertyphoon Haiyan (2013) is largely attributed to the lower-level warm core primarily induced by the asymmetric potential vorticity (PV) mixing. They also performed a piecewise PV inversion diagnosis to show that the balanced response to the PV mixing accounts for about 50% of the central pressure fall during the rapid intensiﬁcation onset. This comment presents two major concerns about their methodology and interpretations. Results herein show that they utilized an erroneous method to separate the individual contributions of the upper- and lower-level eye warming to the central pressure decrease, which can exaggerate the impact of the lower-level warm core. In addition, the balanced geo- potential height perturbations inverted from the piecewise PV involve signiﬁcant contributions from the processes irrelevant to the PV mixing. As a result, these defects can lead to problematic diagnosis results and render un- warranted conclusions.
Does long preoperative ureteral double J stenting influence the outcomes of retrograde ureteroscopy for ureteral stones? A matched-paired case-control study

There is a lot of debate about whether stenting is required or not prior retrograde semirigid ureteroscopy (URS). Moreover, the effect of long-term preoperative stenting on stone-free rate (SFR) and complication rate of URS. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of long-term preoperative double J stenting compared with non-stenting and recent pre-stenting on the outcomes of retrograde URS. Material and methods: The data of 90 patients admitted to the Urology Clinic of the Iasi “Dr. C. I. Parhon” Hospital between January 2017 and March 2020 were collected. The patients were divided into three equal groups, matched by age, sex, stone size and location: 30 non-stented patients, 30 patients stented three months before URS, and 30 patients with stents placed for over three months before URS. SFR and the rate of main URS complications (febrile syndrome and hematuria) were in the three groups were compared. Results: There were no statistical differences between groups in terms of SFR (73%. 77%, 80%, p = 0.6). The complication rate was similar in all three groups, for both febrile syndrome and hematuria. Conclusions: Long term preoperative double J stenting does not influence the SFR of retrograde semirigid URS. In all groups, the complication rate is very low and not influenced by preoperative stenting.

Duopolistic positioning and pricing competition with variety‐seeking and strategic consumers

This paper examines a duopolistic market in which two firms compete on their positioning and pricing decisions. Consumers may be variety‐seeking or non‐variety‐seeking, and strategic or myopic, in their repeated purchases. The competing firms first determine the positioning and then the prices in two selling periods under either price commitment or dynamic pricing. Contrary to the conventional wisdom that variety‐seeking consumers are less profitable consumers, we find that firms may benefit from more variety‐seeking consumers under either pricing scheme when some of these consumers are myopic. Strategic consumer behavior always intensifies the competition and hurts the firms. Under each pricing scheme, either myopic variety‐seeking consumers or non‐variety‐seeking consumers can be the most profitable consumer group, while strategic variety‐seeking consumers are always the least preferred consumer group. Compared with dynamic pricing, price commitment softens horizontal competition and increases profits. When the firms can choose freely between price commitment and dynamic pricing before they engage in pricing competition, they may adopt asymmetric pricing schemes in equilibrium.
Teachers Voices: A Qualitative Study on Burnout in the Portuguese Educational System

Teaching has been identified as an environment of extreme physical, mental, and cognitive demand for teachers and is one of the careers where burnout levels are the highest. This qualitative study aims to (i) understand the importance of personal, organizational, and classroom dimensions concerning the Portuguese education system, (ii) and how these dimensions contribute to burnout in Portuguese teachers from different teaching levels. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with twenty-six primary and high school teachers. Results offer insights on the impact that different variables have on teachers’ burnout. The content analysis suggests that organization is the most relevant dimension contributing to teachers’ burnout. On the other hand, the classroom category appears to be the most challenging context for teachers to manage. The results highlight the need to consider the dynamics and interdependency between personal, organizational, and classroom dimensions in the development and prevalence of burnout.

Synthesis and optimization of a montmorillonite-tolerant zwitterionic polycarboxylate superplasticizer via Box-Behnken design

Abstract Polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE) is sensitive to the clay present in concrete aggregates. In particular, Montmorillonite (Mnt), an impurity inevitably contained in the aggregate, can significantly influence the performance of concrete. In an effort to improve the compatibility of PCE, a zwitterionic PCE with cationic amide groups and shorter side-chain lengths was synthesized via free radical copolymerization. The optimal synthesis condition was verified via Box-Behnken design. In addition to characterizing the PCE, the performance of PCE in cement pastes with or without Na-Mnt was examined and the underlying mechanism was explored. The results show that, compared with commercially available PCE, the required dosage of PCE for cements containing Na-Mnt decreased. Unlike commercially available PCE, no intercalation occured on the newly manufactured clay-tolerant PCE within the layers of Mnt, resulting in a greater sorption thickness and improved dispersion of the cements containing Na-Mnt.
