Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.) is one of the most significant trees in tropical home gardens and important genus Artocarpus. The study was conducted to determine the effects of inorganic and organic fertilizer application on the physicochemical and sensory acceptability of jackfruit and identify which nutrient management scheme would give the best postharvest quality. Each replication had four sample trees per treatment. The treatments were designated as follows: T0 – control (no fertilizer application), T1 – inorganic fertilizer (0.830 kg complete fertilizer/tree + 3.329 kg solophos phosphate/tree + 0.726 kg KCl/tree), and T2 – vermicast (75 kg/tree). Analysis of variance and treatment comparison by the least significant difference were performed using the Statistical Tool for Agriculture Research (STAR). Application of organic and inorganic fertilizer significantly influenced the pulp width and circumference and core width of jackfruit. T1 gave bigger pulp circumference (11.38 cm), longest pulp length (7.13 cm) and highest number of pulp per fruit (138.75). The color a (redness/blueness) and b (yellowness) values, pH, total soluble solids (TSS), percent titratable acidity (%TA), vitamin C and juice yield were significantly affected by the application of organic and inorganic fertilizer. The b* values indicate the yellowness of the fresh-cut jackfruit pulp. It was observed that T1 and T2 had noticeably lower +b* than those without fertilizer application as indicated by the lower intensity of yellow color. Sensorial analyses of color, aroma, sweetness, firmness, flavor, and juiciness were not significantly influenced by fertilizer application. The two nutrient management schemes revealed comparable general acceptability of jackfruit.

The continuous and increasing degradation problem in Leyte watershed due to landslide occurrences explains the importance of the characterization of these areas. Hence, this study was carried out to characterize the landscape and soil properties in the landslide-prone watershed. Landslide cuts, serving as representative soil profiles in Cadac-an watershed, were used for examination and characterization. Among the landscape characteristics determined were fault line, geomorphology and land use. Profiles were sampled for the analyses of soil properties such pH (Potentiometric method), percent organic matter (OM) (loss of weight on ignition), available phosphorus (P) (Olsen extraction method), cation exchange capacity (CEC) (ammonium acetate method) and exchangeable bases: calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), and potassium (K). Cadac-an watershed was observed to be dominated by andesitic materials characterized by the presence of the active Leyte segment of the Philippine Fault. It is rugged and mountainous with brushes and grasses as the dominant vegetation. Generally, soils from the landslide areas in Cadac-an watershed had a very strongly acidic to moderately alkaline pH, high to low OM and P content, very high to low CEC, high to low exchangeable K, Ca and Mg, and low exchangeable Na.

Tetrastigma harmandii Planch. is utilized for culinary and medicinal purposes in the Philippines. However, its growing conditions, nutritional composition and asexual propagation are less known. Hence, this study characterized the growing environment of T. harmandii in northeastern Cagayan, Philippines and determined its proximate and nutrient compositions through proximate and elemental analyses, respectively. Asexual propagation was also done wherein T. harmandii stem cuttings (one, two and three nodes) with and without auxin (α-NAA) were propagated for 33 days inside the rooting bins. Results revealed that the species grows in various habitats such as hills, coastal areas, residential and agricultural land, grasslands, bodies of water, caves and secondary growth forests in 18-181 masl elevations. It was also found to thrive in moderately acidic soils with medium organic matter and high nutrient contents. The species grows mostly together with Leucaena leucocephala and Gliricidia sepium. Moreover, the leaves of the plant have high crude fiber (5.20%), potassium (3.28%) and iron (207 ppm). The propagation of the plant using three-node stem cuttings without auxin application showed better survival (97.78%) and rooting (86.67%). Compared with one-node stem cutting, improved rooting was observed in the two-node (1.68 more roots and 0.30 denser roots) and three-node (2.92 more roots and 0.14 denser roots) stem cuttings. Hence, T. harmandii is easy to root when propagated asexually; better rooting can be achieved through three-node stem cuttings without auxin application.

Ethephon and bioethylene from Gliricidia sepium were evaluated as potential alternatives to the unsafe calcium carbide (CaC2) in ripening ‘Cardaba’ banana. In Experiment 1, bananas were treated with CaC2 (1 and 2 g kg-1), G. sepium leaves (30% and 40% w/w), or ethephon (200 and 500 μL L-1). In Experiment 2, fruit were applied with CaC2 (2.5 or 5 g kg-1) or ethephon (200 or 500 μL L-1). Results showed that the use of low CaC2 concentration (1 or 2 g kg-1) or G. sepium leaves for 48 h was not sufficient to effectively ripen banana fruit (Experiment 1). The fruit dipped in 500 μL L-1 ethephon for 3 min exhibited similar effect as the 5 g kg-1 CaC2 for 72 h, which allowed the fruit to ripen faster than the lower concentrations of CaC2 (2.5 g kg-1) and ethephon (200 μL L-1), and the control (Experiment 2). The higher concentrations of ethephon and CaC2 resulted in bananas with higher total soluble solids, least firmness, most advanced peel color after 2-3 days and least green (a*) color that was towards the yellow hue angle. Ethephon-treated fruit had better visual quality than those treated with CaC2 and reached the full yellow stage the earliest (4.5 to 5.8 days) compared with the other treatments (7 to 11 days). As ripening took place earlier, fruit dipped in 500 μL L-1 ethephon solution had the least visual quality rating after seven days resulting in shorter shelf life of eight days compared with the control at 11 days.

The combination of pollution and ecological risk indices gives both qualitative and quantitative information on an ecosystem’s status. This study utilized such a combination to assess the health of Laguna de Bay, Philippines by determining the physicochemical characteristics of its bottom sediments. Two very distinct regions of the lake were sampled: the east bay whose watersheds are mostly of agricultural land uses, and the west bay whose watersheds are dominated by urban areas. Samples of grabbed sediments were analyzed for their grain and particle size distributions, mineralogical compositions, and heavy metal concentrations. The finer sediment fractions were further analyzed for their chromium, nickel, copper, zinc, arsenic, lead, and cadmium concentrations and a representative sample was also analyzed for its mineralogical composition. Based on size analyses, all samples were dominated by sediments finer than 250 µm or medium sand. Mineralogical analysis of a representative sample indicated that the finer fractions of sediments have high concentrations of plagioclase and various clay minerals (montmorillonite and halloysite). Concerning heavy metals, the clay fractions registered higher concentrations. The sediments vary from being slightly to moderately contaminated based on a modified contamination index. Their potential ecological risks to biological resources can be considered as very high due to the high concentrations of heavy metals in the finest sediment fractions that are also the most bioavailable. These results highlight the importance of considering sediment compositions to provide a more complete assessment of lake ecosystems.

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Sacc) causes a destructive wilt disease in tomato. With consideration to the environment and human health concerns, the bioagents as alternative procedures for defense against the plant pathogen were investigated. The potentiality of the antagonistic activity of Bacillus subtilis (ATCC® 11774™) reached 53% against the growth of F. oxysporum in a dual culture technique. The proteolytic; B. subtilis strain; was found to be a potent producer of amino acids under in vitro. Fractionation of the fermented hydrolysate showed the liberation of glutamic acid (760.15 mg/L), glycine (414.65 mg/L), aspartic acid (291.1 mg/L), cysteine (268.45 mg/L) and lysine (51.9 mg/L). In a greenhouse experiment, seed treatment with crude extract of amino acids and/or Bacillus subtilis cells demonstrated the greatest suppression of wilt symptoms on tomato seedlings. Moreover, pronounced plant growth promotion in root and shoot lengths, number of leaves, shoot fresh and dry weights of tomato plants was noticed. Biochemical parameters (photosynthetic pigments, total polyphenols, flavonoids, polyphenol oxidase, and peroxidase enzymes) were also upgraded. Antioxidant capacity of the plants – ABTS (%), DPPH (%) and reducing power – positively responded to the investigated treatments.

Indiscriminate disposal of untreated cassava wastewater is a major environmental challenge faced by communities hosting indigenous cassava processorsin Nigeria. This study is therefore aimed at assessing theeffectiveness of a simple slow sand filtration system embedded with activated carbon layer for cassava wastewater treatment. The filters were loaded in layers with graded sand, gravel, and varying thickness of activated carbon bed. Cassava wastewater was obtained from a processing site at Ibogun, Ogun State,Nigeria. The filters were filled and left for about two weeks for “schmutzdecke” to form on the top surface of the sand bed and then operated at room temperature (28-34 °C) at hydraulic retention times of 6, 12, and 24 h. The result showed thatcollected wastewater hada mean value of 1357NTU, 385, 31.87, and 716mg/L ofturbidity, biochemical oxygen demand(BOD), hydrogen cyanide (HCN)content, and chemical oxygen demand (COD), respectively. These values wereabove the permissible limit set by the local and international regulatory agencies. The filters with activated carbon showeda drastic reduction in the pollutants load (BOD: 38%-57%, COD: 26%-46%, HCN: 79%, and NTU: 96.5%-98%). This is corroborated by P-values <0.05 of 2.84 x 10-32and 1.69x10-29 for COD and BOD,respectively. The obtained result alsodisclosedthat some parameters did not conform to the acceptable limitbut there was a reduction in key pollutants of cassava wastewater. Therefore,the filter can be used as a low-cost treatment mechanism for cassava wastewater prior to disposal.

The demand for the development of a biodegradable antimicrobial packaging system from food wastes continues to grow because of food safety issues and the negative environmental impact brought about by synthetic plastics. In this study, a jackfruit seed starch-carrageenan (JSS-CG) blend film containing carvacrol was prepared. The antimicrobial capacity of the films against Staphylococcus aureus BIOTECH 1582 was evaluated by disk diffusion assay. Results revealed that zones of inhibition increased with the increase in carvacrol concentration. The optimum concentration of carvacrol for inhibiting the growth of S. aureus was 10% with a zone of inhibition of 19.67 mm. Furthermore, the film effectively controlled the growth of S. aureus in cheese stored at 28 °C. The microbial count of cheese decreased with storage time. Log reductions of 0.24, 0.56 and 0.66 were recorded after 12, 24 and 36 h of storage, respectively. The film exhibited a tensile strength of 12.03 MPa and an elongation at break of 72.55% based on the mechanical test. This study suggests that JSS-CG film containing carvacrol has potential as a food packaging material with desirable antimicrobial and mechanical properties.

Aquilaria cumingiana (Decne) Ridl. is considered among the agarwood-producing species (APS) that grows naturally in the Philippines. With the government’s restriction in trade and collection, APS domestication using vegetative propagation to address the problem of seed supply for mass production of seedlings for plantation establishment has been found the best option. This study assessed the effect of various indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) concentrations (0, 250 and 500 ppm), different leaf trimmings (trimmed 0, 25 and 50% of the leaf surface area) and their interaction using young and juvenile leafy stem cuttings. Parameters evaluated include percent rooting (PR), number of roots (NR), number of secondary roots (NSR), length of the longest roots (LLR), and average root length (ARL). While non-significant effects were obtained from most of the root traits evaluated, results of the analysis of variance (p > 0.05) detected a significant effect in the case of LLR treated with 500 ppm of IBA (15.25 mm, p = 0.039) and NSR in cuttings with untrimmed leaf laminas (5.19, p = 0.028). A significant effect was also generated from IBA and leaf trimming interaction in terms of the NSR, particularly between untrimmed cuttings (OW) and 250 ppm IBA (6.48, p = 0.049). Generally, the results of the study reflect the ability to mass produce the A. cumingiana using unsophisticated techniques of macro-somatic cloning.

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a spectroscopic technique that uses the NIR region of the electromagnetic spectrum and analyzes the degree of absorption. It is widely used in agriculture to determine rapidly and non-destructively the internal or external qualities of agricultural products since traditional techniques are costly, labor-intensive and time-consuming. In green coffee beans, moisture content (MC) is one of the most important quality parameters; hence, rapid and reliable measurement of the attribute is essential. This study aimed to predict the MC of green coffee beans of four varieties of Coffea arabica (Typica, Caturra, Red Bourbon and Yellow Bourbon) and two accessions of Coffea liberica (Tolentino and Calabuso) using the local NIR spectrometer developed by previous researchers. Absorbance spectra of 100 samples for each variety/accession were collected and their MC was analyzed using the gravimetric method. The multivariate calibration models that considered 30 components in the region of water were established using R software by partial least squares (PLS) regression and validated using a separate set of samples. Results showed that the PLS regression model could develop multivariate models that can predict the MC of coffee beans. Among the six coffee samples, the calibration model for C. arabica – Typica obtained the highest cross-validated coefficient of determination (R 2 cv = 0.8556) with cross-validated root mean square error of prediction (RMSEPcv) of 0.6355 while C. liberica – Tolentino obtained the lowest R2 cv (0.6169) with RMSEPcv of 1.128.

This work proposed a novel algorithm, adaptive contrast stretching algorithm (ACS), in improving face recognition under varying illumination conditions. The ACS algorithm, whose building blocks are tuned logarithm filter and anisotropic diffusion filter (ADF), was used to preprocess samples of face images obtained from the extended Yale face database B. The resulting preprocessed data was split into training and testing datasets. While the training dataset was used to train a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN), the testing dataset was subdivided into four subsets based on the azimuthal angle of illumination. In order to compare the recognition accuracy obtained from using the ACS algorithm, the face images in the training dataset were successively processed using discrete cosine transform, difference of Gaussian, weber faces, multi-scale retinex and single-scale retinex. The respective output images obtained from each technique were used to train the DCNN. The result obtained from each technique showed that the developed ACS algorithm significantly outperformed other algorithms used in this study with an accuracy of 95%. This value is 2.5% greater than the unimproved version of the ADF, which is currently one of the acclaimed techniques used by most computer vision researchers in the surveyed literature.

The slope’s stability in mountainous or hilly region is significantly important for the safety and protection of the people and the environment. Intensive field sampling was carried out in the study sites at Kibawe, Bukidnon, Philippines and soil samples were subjected to laboratory tests. The study applied the deterministic method through slope stability analysis to calculate the factor of safety (FOS) for landslide assessment. It also used Geographic Information System (GIS) particularly the ArcGIS software for FOS mapping. The results revealed that the study sites have mostly inorganic but highly expansive fine-grained soils. The values of the FOS varied in each steady-state condition. For fully-saturated and dry conditions, the values ranged from 1.54-9.98 and 1.94-12.66, respectively. For partially-saturated condition where m = 0.75, m = 0.5 and m = 0.25, the values of FOS ranged from 1.65-10.65; 1.74-11.32; and 1.84- 11.99, respectively. In general, the FOS values signified that the study area was stable against sliding; however, there was a considerable decrease in FOS values when the slope changed from completely dry to fully-saturated condition. The created set of FOS maps lay out a visual impression and the variation of slope stability condition in the study area. The findings provide a baseline reference study for the area’s slope stability that is essential in planning or further assessment of the study area. Furthermore, this can be directly used by the local government for land-use planning and future development.

This study investigated the effect of water-reducing admixtures in concrete production using crushed Mangima stone as fine aggregate. Waterreducing admixture with a variance of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5% by weight of cement was added to the concrete mixture. A water-cement ratio of 0.57 was used for this study. Samples were cured at seven, 14, and 28 days and tested for compression after each curing period. The compressive strength of concrete using water-reducing admixtures showed an early strength and passed the minimum requirement of 3,000 psi. Results revealed that through the use of admixtures, compressive strength obtained from all samples was higher than the control mixture. This means that using crushed Mangima stone has its potential to be used as fine aggregate in a structural concrete mixture with the addition of water-reducing admixture.

Although it has replaced screen-film radiography in various radiological units, digital radiography (DR) still produces high image retake, which contributes unnecessary radiation dose to patients. This study aimed to investigate patient- and radiographer-related determinants of image retakes in general DR among hospitals in Southeastern Philippines. A total of 455 images were included in the analysis. Frequency, chi-square test of independence and binary logistics regression were applied. In the adjusted model, image retake occurred more likely in non-sthenic patients compared with sthenic patients (OR = 95.16; 95% CI = 87.42-119.90), in non-ambulatory patients compared with ambulatory patients (OR = 175.59; 95% CI = 143.45-191.80), and in procedures involving the axial section of the body as compared with the appendicular part of the body (OR = 1060.96; 95% CI = 997.68-1175.92). No significant association was observed for patient and radiographers’ sexes. The results of this study highlighted that among the variables, procedures that involved asthenic and non-ambulatory patients as well as axial body parts were determinants of image retake occurrence. Intervention programs for image retake prevention in hospitals should put emphasis on these types of patients and radiographic procedures.
Rethinking Climate Change: How Humanity Can Choose to Reduce Emissions 90% by 2035 through the Disruption of Energy, Transportation, and Food with Existing Technologies
Authors: Arbib James , Dorr Adam , Seba Tony

Three sector disruptions alone driven by just eight technologies can directly eliminate over 90% of net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions worldwide within 15 years. Market forces can be leveraged to drive the bulk of global GHG emissions mitigation because the technologies required are either already commercially available and competitive today, or can be deployed to market before 2025 with the right societal choices. The same technologies will also make the cost of carbon withdrawal affordable, meaning that moonshot breakthrough technologies are not required to solve the ‘Last Carbon Problem’ and go beyond net zero from 2035 onwards.

Ada  banyak penyebab dilakukannya aborsi salah satunya adalah janin yang dikandung oleh seseorang bukan berasal dari ikatan yang sah menurut agama, resiko tinggi bagi ibu hamil pada kondisi ini ibu harus memilih apakah melanjutkan kehamilannya atau menggugurkan kandungan, yang jika kandungan tersebut terus dilanjutkan akan beresiko, baik pada sang ibu ataupun bagi janin, dalam hal ini kita perlu mencari solusi terhadap kasus aborsi yang merajalela, khususnya di dunia islam, baik itu aborsi yang dibolehkan ataupun aborsi yang terlarang serta bagaimanakah tindak lanjut si pelaku aborsi yang terlarang tersebut. Oleh karena itu, timbul keinginan penulis untuk melakukan penelitian yang berjudul: “Hukum Aborsi akibat Perzinaan Dalam Perspektif Mazhab Syafi’i”.Penelitian ini menggunakan metode library research atau penelitian kepustakaan, yakni data-data yang diambil berdasarkan kitab-kitab, buku-buku, jurnal, dan penelitian terdahulu. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa Ulama mazhab al-Syafi’i berpendapat hukum aborsi adalah makruh bila dikeluarkan sebelum masa 40 hari setelah pembuahan, namun jika seseorang melakukan aborsi pada tahap peniupan roh maka hukumnya haram. Sedangkan Aborsi yang dilakukan karena dilatarbelakangi perzinaan hukumnya haram, bila janin sudah memasuki tahap peniupan roh, dan  sanksi yang dikenakan bagi  pelaku aborsi menurut mazhab syafi’i adalah wajib membayar al-ghurrah yaitu berupa budak laki-laki atau budak perempuan.
