Authors: Margarita G. Hilario
Published: July 2024

This study determined the stakeholders' level of awareness on the global, national and local health agenda as well as the extent of integrating the global and national health goals into the local health system. Qualitative and quantitative approaches were used in exploring the problem. Respondents are five groups of stakeholders: 1) public service providers, 2) private sector 3) educational institutions, 4) community leaders, and 5) service users. In determining the samples, total enumeration was employed to public service providers (Local Health Board) and health personnel (Municipal Health Office); heads of educational institution, officers of health-related NGOs and businesses (private) and community leaders. There were a total of 744 respondents. Purposive sampling was used for service users or those who availed of essential health services in the last 12 months who were intercepted during the study. A questionnaire was used in data gathering supplemented with documentary analysis on the vision of the Local Government Units to see the relevance to health agenda. The questionnaire was reviewed by knowledgeable evaluators from the health stakeholders. The researcher sought endorsement from LGUs to gather data from concerned departments and groups of stakeholders. The statistical tools used in the data analysis are frequency counts and means. Results of the study revealed that public service providers, community leaders and service users have “High” level of awareness on the Health Agenda and “High” level of perception on the Local Health System’s Integration of the City/Municipal Health Agenda. Those in the private sector and educational institutions had “moderate” level of awareness and perception on the integration of the global and national health agenda in the local health system.

Published: July 2024

This study dealt with the status and implementation of Newborn Screening (NBS) program in the Philippines and India. It determined the profile of and the problems encountered in the NBS program in both countries. A comparison was done on the status of the Newborn Screening along legal mandate, cost of testing, specimen used, diseases screened, consent required, funding agencies and the availability of screening centers. The descriptive-comparative research design was utilized. The data from the Philippines were gathered from the Provincial Health Office while in India, the data came from health providers of Gujarat. Ethical clearance was secured. Frequency and percentages were used. Results showed that in the Philippines, the screening includes five metabolic and genetic diseases. There are more screening services in India than the Philippines. Out of the seven (7) diseases screened, Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is the most common metabolic disorder in the Philippines; while in India, the incidence of B -Thalassemia takes the lead in Gujarat and G6PD followed. As to the profile of the NBS Program in both countries, Philippines has the National Policy on Newborn Screening. NBS is mandatory in the Philippines, therefore highly implemented while in India, the NBS program has no standards or any national guidelines followed. In India, the cost of testing is more expensive and there are more metabolic and genetic disorders screened. The Philippine Health Insurance covers the program. In India, there is no federal support, mostly private hospitals perform the NBS. Problems encountered include resistance of some mothers to the NBS and confirmatory testing.

Literature has values that make it a helpful learning resource. Because of this, educators continue the quest for more literary materials that are culturally relevant to facilitate learning. Earlier research and studies on Iloko songs, poems, novels, and short stories show that the said materials, indeed, have values that can be incorporated into the pedagogical process. In addition to the existing knowledge of values of literature and culture, this study determined the moral, psychological, aesthetic, and historical values of the selected municipal hymns in the Province of Ilocos Sur. Furthermore, this research identified what Ilocano culture is revealed in the lyrics of the selected hymns. Through content analysis, the researcher was able to find the moral value, psychological, aesthetic values, and historical values in the selected municipal hymns. Subsequently, the results of the analysis were corroborated by focus group discussions, interviews, and literature research. In the study, the researcher found out that the selected municipal hymns were replete with moral, psychological values, aesthetic, and historical values. The said values identified depict how rich the Ilocano culture is in terms of symbols, values and beliefs, knowledge, history, and arts and crafts. The findings also characterize Ilocanos as people who have moral values, sound, and healthy psyches, creative skills, and knowledge of their history.

This study as conducted in Ilocos Sur from 1988-1989 to : 1) identify and develop alternate crops that would equal or even surpass income benefits from tobacco in anticipation of future decline in tobacco demand; 2) further improve the agricultural sector with the introduction of more versatile crops mixes given the agro-climatic characteristics of the province; and 3) increase income of farmers and thereby uplift their socio-economic well-being. Trials of test crops like: garlic, cotton, mungbean, watermelon and green corn were conducted in farmer's field in strategic places in Ilocos Sur with three farmer-cooperators for each test crop at an area of 1,000 square meters. Cost of production, yield, gross sales and income of the different test crops were compared to those of tobacco which was also represented by three farmer-cooperators. Findings of the study revealed that a net return of P 58,378.00 was obtained from watermelon came next with a difference of P 38,570.00 as compared to tobacco; watermelon came next with a difference of P 38,570.00; green corn, P 1,921.00; and mungbean, P 666.00. The lowest was registered in cotton with a difference of P 5,572 in favor of tobacco. Based on the findings, it is concluded that garlic and watermelon are the best alternative crops for tobacco because they registered the highest in net return as compared to the other test crops. Hence, they are highly recommended as alternate crops for tobacco.

Authors: Alfredo R. Rabena
Published: July 2024

Bagbagotot (Phyllantug_reticulatys) berries were collected from Iligan, Ilocos Sur, then soaked in distilled water and concentrated in rotavapor at 40C. Water- soluble crude natural dyes were obtained through freeze-drying and yielded 9.20%. The fastness ofthe natural dye was tested. Ferrous sulfate, copper sulfate, alum and potassium dichromate were used as mordants applying in 2 different yarns, i.e., cotton and silk. Among all mordants in the 3 techniques namely post mordanting, pre-mordanting and simultaneous mordanting, Jerrous sulfate is the darkest, with copper sulfate, alum and potassium dichromate as the lightest. Dyeing ayarn with this extract with mordants shows darker washed fastness in silk than in cotton, mordant generally helps the fixation of the natural dye on fibers. Dyeing without mordant is similar to dyeing with alum mordant at 5% concetration. Increasing the concentration ofmordant to 10% potassium dichromate manifests a significant change which can not be seen in all the treatments and strategies.

Factories for Village Recovery Program or simply called FACTORIES 2000, is envisioned by Governor Luis "Chavit" Singson as a venue where the energies ofthe llocanos can be directed towards attaining the status of a newly industrialized province contributing towards the achievement ofPHILIPPINES 2000. This aspiration is strongly supported by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of 1locos Sur, as reflected in the legislative measures passed by the body. This goal has been attained by most ASEAN and Pacific Rim neighbors to which potential seaports in locos Sur are most proximate. The title itself suggests that the nerve center of1locos Sur socioeconomic activities revolves around a village factory, where workers and staff in particular and the residents in general are directly involved in community-organizing, resource mobilization, production, processing and marketing. This developmentmodel isculturallyrootedin the industrious Ilocano as reflected by the prominence of small rural-family based enterprises prevalent in 1locos Sur, such as the tobacco flue- curing barns. The strategy for implementing the program rest on an integrated approach with an: awareness for social responsibility through environment-friendly economic enterprises anchored on ecologically- balanced development zones.

Authors: Avelino B. Felicitas, Jr.
Published: July 2024

The study was conducted to determine the best NPK formulations for IR-36 rice variety under UNP conditions in terms of growth and yield performance. The Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) was employed in three replications using the following treatments: F0 (control), FI (25-25-25), F2 (60-25-25), F3 (75-25-25), F4 (100-25-25), F5 (025-25-25), and F6 (150-25-25). The growth performance of the plants was evaluated in terms of initial height of plants after transplanting and final height of plants at maturity in centimeters. The yield component was evaluated in terms of average number of productive tillers/hill, length of panicle in centimeters, average number of filled grains per panicle, dry seed yield per plot in kilograms and computed yield per hectare and net return per hectare and per plot in pesos. Except for the different NPK formulations evaluated, all the recommended technology in riceproduction were employed. The data gathered were statistically analyzed using the analysis of variance and the different treatment means were further subjected to the Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) to test their significant difference. Results of the study revealed that 150 kilograms of nitrogen with 25 kilograms each of phosphorous and potassium per hectare significantly outgrew the other treatments tested. Likewise, same formulation F5 (150-25-25) significantly outranked all the other treaments in terms of the average number of productive tillers per hill, average length of panicle, and average number offilled grains per panicle. It also gave the highest dry seed yield per plot and per hectare and highest computed net return per area cultivated. Hence, it is concluded that a formulation of 150-25-25 kilograms NPK per hectare (F5) is the best of all the treatments evaluated.Therefore the above cited NPK formulation is recommended to be employed in growing rice under UNP soil and climatic conditions, specifically, for IR-36 rice variety.

The study endeavored to look into the mass media exposure of College Students in the University of Northern Philippines. Randomly selected students from the various academic units (Colleges/Institutes), totalling to 1,287, which is 25% of the total student population of the University of Northern Philippines, were the respondents. These respondents had much access to newspapers and magazines in the same manner to television and radio. Typically, college students attempt to read although there has been an increased frequency exposure of these students to English newspapers. Such tendency has been the greatest weakness among UNP college students in general. Findings revealed an insignificant relationship between sex and such dependent variables like frequency of exposure to Ilocano and English newspapers and choice of mass media channel. The responsents' year level and degree programs did not affect the exposure of students to Ilocano and English newspapers. The weighted average grades of the respondents which were affected by their grades were dependent on their choice of the subject or topic/program on the radio but were independent on the television programs.

Published: July 2024

Sargassum, one ofthe country's seaweed exports, abounds in the coastal barangays of Ilocos Sur. Although dominant in most months of the year, no published report has been made in the area prior to this study. Taxonomic and standing crop studies were performed for a period of two years. Environmental parameters like temperature, salinity, and water movement were also monitored as they affect Sargassum biomass production. Four species were observed in the area: Sargassum crassifolium, S. cristaefolium, S. polycystum, and S. siliquosum. All four species showed different growth patterns and seasonal dominance. Data on biomass production show that Sargassum is abundant in the coastal towns of Ilocos Sur. The reefs which extend several meters seaward in most coastal municipalities support algal blooms anytime of the year. Temperature and water movement affect Sargassum biomass production. Greater production occurs during coldermonths andin areas with moderate water movement. Consideration of these two ecological factors are important for proper management of the resource.

Published: July 2024

This study primarily aimed to perform pharmacological testing on a locally abundant plant that grows widely in the province of /locos Sur, commonly known as "linlinna-aw" and known scientifically as Peperomia pellucida Linn.. Specifically, this experimental investigation observed the behavior of the Swiss mice which were administered orally with the test drug, determined the mortality of the Swiss mice after oral administration, and identified the toxicity range (Approximate Lethal Dose or ALD) of "linlinna-aw". Experimental method was used as the research design employing actual laboratory set-up. The first phase (air-drying and extraction processes) was done at the UNP Chemistry and Natural Science Laboratory and the second phase (pharmacological testing through Approximate Lethal Dose) was done at the Chemistry and Pharmacological Division of the Department ofScience and Technology in Bicutan, Taguig, Metro Manila from January 1999 - March 2000. The ethanol extract of "inlinna-aw" (Peperomia pellucida Linn.) has toxicity effect when administered orally to Swiss mice. The Approximate Lethal Dose (ALD) is 8g/kg. It is safe to use a dose ranging from 1 g/kg up to 7.5 g/kg. Toxidrome ranges from decreased motor activity, ptosis, writhing, hyperemia, abnormal gait, ataxia, diarrhea, convulsion, and death of two mice within 30 minutes.The mortality ratio ofSwiss mice administered orally with the ethanol extract is 20:20. In the autopsy findings, all mice that died immediately and those sacrificed and autopsied after 14 days had grossly normal findings. Potential Technology. Below 8 gkg of the sample drug of linlinna-aw can be transformed into tablets and lotion/ointmentfor the treatment ofarthritis and convulsion, and warm poultice for abscesses and boils. A dose of 8 g/kg or more can be used as pesticides.

Published: July 2024

A prospective business that has existed in Ilocos Sur long ago but has not been paid attention to is jewelry making.Thus, this study was conducted in order to identify the problems related to the financing, production, and marketing ofjewelry which beset the operators/ owners/ workers of the jewelry business. Of the 40 owners/operators/workers, 38 were from Bantay; and two were from Candon. The greatest problem in financing was raising capital. As to production, the foremost problem was the increasing cost of raw materials. High competition and seasonal demandfor the product were two major problems along the marketing aspect. The jewelry operators/ owners jworkers expressed thefollowing needs: common raw materials purchasing, technical skills upgrading in servicing, linkage with GOs/ NGOs to act as liaison coordinating body to support the needs ofthe industry, technical skills upgrading in pricing, assistance in locating export market, common packaging facilities, and marketing assistance. By addressing the needs/problems besetting the owners/operators/workers of the jewelry industry of Ilocos Sur, further stagnation/decline in the performance of the enterprise could be abated. There are reasons for reviving the jewelry industry of/locos Sur. First, this business oozes with potentials and it could create more employment and bring social benefits through the government. Second, there is no way the /locanos will give uptheir passion for "alahas". Jewelry is part of the Filipino heritage.
Problematika Kebebasan Beragama Di Indonesia Refleksi Kritis Atas Kasus Jemaah Ahmadiyah
Authors: Falaurine Ester
Published: July 2024

The state of Indonesia protects and guarantees the freedom of religion with- out any discrimination to each citizen. Everyone is free to embrace any religion and to do worship according to his or her beliefs. This article de- scribes the religious freedom in this country and highlights its subsequent problems. Is it true that religious freedom goes in accordance with the constitution of the country?, The Ahmadiyah adherents, however, were badly treated in these recent years. Their communities had to undergo expulsion and persecution in many places throughout the country. They were stripped of their human dignity and deprived of their basic rights, and many of them were even murdered. Historically speaking, they have been in Indonesia since the first quarter of the twentieth century. They also belonged to the fighters for the independence of the country (1945). Finally, their existence was yuridically acknowledged by the government in 1953. Our questions, then, are: "Why are they refused to be integral members of the predominantly Muslim society? What are the errors of their doctrine compared to the so- called true teachings of Islam?"

They believe that God has provided everything for everybody that should be accepted faithfully, for God is the One who is full of love and compassion. In so doing, everybody, no matter which social group he/she belongs to will live his/her life in thankfulness, fidelity, and honesty. The Javanese call it nerima ing pandum, a kind of local genius enlivened by kawruh kejawen (Javanese gnosis). Based on this religiosity which corresponds to Benedictine tradition of ora et labora, the writer then reflects theologically the way people in the industrilized world of today should deal with their daily lives. We can learn a lot from people of the margins how to manage our personal lives as well as to organize our community in God's providence.

#تشير الدراسات إلى أن معدلات الاضطرابات الدهنية في مرضى الغسيل الكلوي المزمن (CHD) تكون من 10 إلى 20 مرة أكبر من تلك في السكان العامة. شملت هذه الدراسة خمسين مريضًا يمنيًا يعانون من مرض الكلى المزمن في مرحلة النهاية (ESRD)، تتراوح أعمارهم بين 12 و80 عامًا، ويخضعون للغسيل الكلوي في وحدة الغسيل بمستشفى الثورة في مدينة إب. تم جمع عينات الدم قبل وبعد الجلسة الكلوية وتحليلها لقياس مستويات الجلوكوز في البلازما والكولسترول الكلي (TC) والكولسترول بالكثافة العالية (HDL-C) والثلاثي جليسريد (TG). تم تحديد مستوى الكولسترول بالكثافة المنخفضة (LDL-C) باستخدام معادلة فريديوالد. تم حساب الكولسترول غير ال-HDL-C عن طريق الطرح بين TC و HDL-C. لوحظ انخفاض ملحوظ (P <0.05) بنسبة 51٪ في مستوى الجلوكوز بعد الجلسة الكلوية. كما لوحظ زيادات ملحوظة بعد الجلسة الكلوية في مستويات TC و LDL-C و non-HDL-C و TG بنسب تبلغ 39٪ و 45٪ و 52.3٪ و 16.7٪ على التوالي، بالإضافة إلى زيادات ملحوظة في مستوى HDL-C الذي يمثل البروفيل المضاد لتصلب الشرايين بنسبة تقدر بحوالي 14.7٪. في الختام، يزداد مستوى الليبوبروتينات المتسببة في تصلب الشرايين بعد جلسات الغسيل الكلوي لدى مرضى الكلى المزمن اليمنيين، ويعود ذلك الارتفاع إلى استبقاء الليبوبروتينات في كل جلسة. مع استمرار الغسيل الكلوي المتكرر، قد تزداد اضطرابات الدهون بشكل تدريجي وتزيد من مخاطر أمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية.

CASE, AGREEMENT AND WH-MOVEMNET IN VERBLESS CONSTRUCTIONS IN STANDARD ARABIC : A MINIMALIST PERSPECTIVE

#هدف هذه الورقة هو تقديم حساب مناسب للسؤالين التاليين: (أ) كيف يتم فحص سمات الحالة والتطابق في البناء الخالي من الفعل في العربية الفصحى؟ و (ب) ما الذي يحفز حركة Wh في جمل البناء الخالي من الفعل؟ تستكشف هذه الورقة السلوك النحوي للجمل الخالية من الفعل وتوضح اقتراحين أدنيين لشرح هذين السؤالين. على الرغم من أن الجملة الخالية من الفعل في العربية الفصحى لا تحتوي على فعل مركب ظاهر في الزمن الحاضر، إلا أنه ما زال هناك فحص لسمات الحالة والتطابق. وفقًا لتحليلات في تشومسكي (1995)، بمامون (2000) و (فقيه 2003، 2005)، حاولنا تفسير هذه الظاهرة عن طريق ادعاء أن الجمل الخالية من الفعل تتصرف على هذا النحو لأن زمنها محدد فقط للسمة الفئوية [+D] التي يجب أن تتم فحصها من قبل الفاعل في النحو. تلك السمة الاسمية [+D] مسؤولة عن فحص سمات الحالة والتطابق في الزمن الحاضر. عندما يكون زمن الجملة الخالية من الفعل في الماضي أو المستقبل، يجب أن يظهر الفعل المركب ظاهرًا بشكل لغوي. في مثل هذه الحالات، يتم تحديد الزمن لسمتين فئويتين [+V] و[+D] التي يجب أن تتم فحصهما من قبل رأس شرعي في سياق الاشتقاق. تفسر هذه الورقة أيضًا ما الذي يجبر حقًا حركة Wh في الجمل الخالية من الفعل في العربية الفصحى. وفقًا لتحليل تشومسكي (1995) لحركة Wh في الإنجليزية، وتفسير فقيه (2003، 2005) لرفع Wh في العربية الفصحى، نقترح أن C (أي COMP) في جملة الاستفهام البسيطة في العربية الفصحى لديها سمة قوية مجردة [+Q] وأن مشغل الكلمة الاستفهامية، الذي يتحرك إلى COMP، لديه أيضًا سمة قوية [+wh] قوية تتحرك بشكل ظاهر لفحص السمات. نجادل بأن الكلمة الاستفهامية في العربية الفصحى تحرك بشكلواضح إلى [Spec، CP] لفحص سماتها المورفولوجية بناءً على تلك الموجودة في C الاستفهامية تحت العلاقة التوافق تحت الرأس المواصل.
