Published: July 2024

Garbage is a consequence of human activity. Waste generation will increase along with population growth and community consumption patterns. Processing organic waste requires appropriate technology so that the processed products do not produce waste again. Bioconversion technology using Black Soldier Fly (BSF) maggots can be used to convert organic material so that it has economic potential. Even BSF maggots are able to degrade organic waste faster than other insects. Apart from that, the products produced from processing organic waste by BSF maggots have high economic value. For example, BSF maggots can be a source of protein that can be used as an alternative feed for livestock such as catfish and chickens, and kasgot (maggot former) can be used as an alternative solution to substitute NPK fertilizer from the government. It is hoped that this outreach & training on BSF maggot cultivation will increase the knowledge and skills of training participants to solve environmental problems related to organic waste through bioconversion technology. The implementation method is carried out by lectures/socialization and training. High public enthusiasm and increasing public knowledge, especially mothers, who are the biggest producers of organic waste from their kitchens, achieved 100% in cultivating BSF maggots, which is a measure of success in this training. Thus, the people of Bersole Village have the potential to become a target village for cultivating BSF maggots.

Beyond the financial : how visualisations, language, and temporal distance shape investor decisions
Authors:   , Mentens Jo
Published: July 2024

This thesis explores the influences of visualisations, language, and temporal distance on investor decision-making within an increasingly information-rich and globalised corporate reporting landscape. It examines how these elements, beyond traditional financial metrics, impact investors’ cognitive and emotional responses, providing insights into their decision-making processes. Through three experimental studies, this work contributes to the field of behavioural accounting by illustrating how various aspects of corporate disclosures affect investor behaviour. The findings across the studies consistently reveal that how information is presented—through visualisations, language, and temporal distance—significantly shapes investor responses. Specifically, the first study shows that visualisations increased investment willingness, largely through enhanced processing fluency rather than improved comprehension, highlighting the affective impact of presentation style. The second study demonstrates that processing environmental, social, and governance disclosures in a foreign language generally led to less emotional and more analytical evaluations, thereby moderating emotional influences in investment decisions. In the third study, matching short-term environmental goals with desirability framing significantly improved investors’ perceptions of corporate credibility, suggesting that appropriate narrative framing can effectively align with investors’ cognitive orientations to influence their investment decisions. This research makes significant academic contributions by applying psychological theories in an accounting context, thus bridging a gap between these fields, and offering new perspectives on investor behaviour. It underscores the need for accounting standards and practices to consider not only the content but also the format and presentation of information, thereby enhancing transparency and investor engagement in financial markets.

The study was an experimental venture in chalk-making. lt made use of an indigenous welding shop waste material called ash wash, and Plaster of Paris. Two formulas or treatments were used in the preparation of the chalk, Formula A used 70% Plaster of Paris and 30% ash wash; Formula B had 60% Plaster of Paris and 40% ash wash. Both formulas utilized a 200-mesh sieve so that two treatments of chalk were obtained. Five casts of sample chalk were prepared on each treatment for quality evaluation basedon texture and strength. Thirty-seven faculty members from five academic units in UNP served as evaluators. Each faculty- evaluator was provided 50 pieces of chalk on each formula or ten pieces each of the 5 casts of chalk prepared on the two formulas. Production costs were determined and compared to the present market value of the commercial chalk. On Formula A, the 1000gram mixture (or 1 kilo) produced 214 pieces of chalk. A 50 kilogram mixture on Formula A (equivalent to one sack) would produce 10,710 pieces or 74.375 boxes of chalk. About seventeen castings (16.66) were made out of a 1,000-gram mixture on Formula B. One casting produced 15 pieces of chalk and the whole 1,000 gram mixture produced 250 pieces. One sack Plaster of Paris (50 kg) would produce about 12,500 pieces or 86.86 boxes of chalk. The total production cost of each formula was four-hundred eighty pesos (P 480.00). Unit cost on Formula A was about thirty-five centavos (P 0,045) and cost per box was over sixpesos (P 6.45). On Formula B, unit cost was about four centavos ( 0.38) and cost per box was over five pesos P 5.53). The commercial chalk was more costly at eighteen pesos and fifty centavos (P 18.50) per box or at thirteen centavos ( 0,13) per piece of chalk.

Tho frequent application of commercial inorganic fertilizers in our field has brought a tremendous depletion and degradation of the soils fertility and quality. Barrera in his book, 'The Soil Around Us" claimed that Sahara Desert, once a fertile land in the early days, served to be the source of the food stuff of the Romans, but the inhabitants and owners were unable to preserve and conserve the productiveness of their land that led to its present status as the widest desert in the universe. Aware of the detrimental effect of the continuous application of chemically manufactured inorganic fertilizers, the Governor then, Hon. Mariano "Marianing" M. Tajon initiated the launching of the llocos Sur Organic Farming Program on March 14, 1991. This program aimed to restore the organic matter content of our soils improving its texture and structure making it more porous and friable for increased fertility and water-holding capacity. This step was intended for greater productivity.

Integrating Climate Smart Development through Bioclimatic Planning and Principles: The Case of the World Heritage City of Vigan, Philippines
Authors: Raymund Queypo  , Lord Byron Gonzales
Published: July 2024

With rapid and unplanned urban development, there is the emergence of Urban Heat Islands, altering the microclimate of the city. As a coping mechanism, several studies have integrated bioclimatic planning for climate-smart development in the Western context; however, there is an inadequacy of studies focusing on the application of bioclimatic design for a tropical urban climate like the Philippines. Furthermore, studies regarding city microclimate analysis are absent in the country. This study aimed to enumerate the factors contributing to warmer temperatures in the urban core of the heritage district of Vigan and provide bioclimatic environmental planning strategies to encourage climate-smart development on the site.
