Published: February 2022

The combination of flood modelling and socio-economic analysis was used to determine the flood vulnerability of the towns of Santa Maria and Mabitac, Laguna, Philippines. Geograhic Information System (GIS)-hazard mapping and vulnerability-resilience indicator were used to assess the interaction of a flood hazard and the socio-economic conditions of the people in the area. The Hydrologic Engineering Center Hydrologic Modelling System (HEC-HMS) and Hydrologic Engineering Center’s River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) modelling system was used to derive the synthetic hydrograph and delineated the inundated areas in the flood-prone barangays (village) of Santa Maria and Mabitac. The flood modelling predicted the flood depths in seven out of ten communities and delineated the inundated barangays of the two towns. The social vulnerability analysis indicated that Barangays (village) Jose Rizal, Masinao, Adia and Coralan in Santa Maria and Barangays San Antonio, Libis ng Nayon, Bayanihan, Pag-asa, Nanguma and Lambac in Mabitac are very vulnerable to flooding. The study revealed environment-related aspects that are helpful in reducing the impacts of flooding such as, strengthening the flood warning system and emergency response capacity through flood hazard zonation mapping and rehabilitation of the watershed in Santa Maria.

Authors:   Misamis  Oriental  State  College  of Agriculture  and Technology,, Palma Richmund , Carandang Wilfredo
Published: February 2022

Bagras-corn boundary planting agroforestry system for biomass production and climate change mitigation is essential options for smallholder agroforestry farms in Misamis Oriental and Bukidnon, Philippines. In this study, the multiple linear regression analysis was used to develop an appropriate prediction models for yield and biomass expansion factor from soil chemical properties, physiographic characteristics, stand attributes, rainfall and temperature. Results showed strong association of age, site index, temperature and spacing with yield (88.7 %). Based on the model, the predicted biomass accumulation at 52 trees per hectare was 24.44, 73.07 and 78.67 Mg ha-1. The mean annual aboveground biomass accumulation was 24.44, 7.31 and 3.93 Mg ha-1 y-1 at ages 1, 10 and 20 years. The equation developed had shown the predicted positive response of bagras to future changes in seasonal mean temperature. Establishing bagras at a distance of 2 m, site index equal to 19 m, age set at 10 y was predicted to yield 0.1974 m3 per tree in 2020. At 2050, yield was predicted to balloon to approximately 3.1182 m3 per tree. Yield and biomass production in boundary plantings can be highly variable – dependent on environmental and soil characteristics and tree spacing.
Measuring Adaptive Capacity of Farmers to Climate Change and Variability: Application of a Composite Index to an Agricultural Community in the Philippines
Authors:   University of the Philippines Visayas, Dafiesta Gay , Rapera Corazon
Published: February 2022

Farming households in the Philippines are most vulnerable to climate change and variability due to their climate/weather-sensitive livelihood and lack of resources to finance adaptation measures. In order to formulate appropriate programs and policies addressing this vulnerability, it is essential to understand their adaptive capacity.This study analyzed the adaptive capacity to climate change and vulnerability of 520 farming households in Dumangas, a town in central Philippines confronting climate/weather-induced risks. The objectives were: to determine the levels of adaptive capacity of farming households to climate change, analyze the factors that cause the differences in adaptive capacity and find out whether adaptive capacity translates to adaptation. The level of adaptive capacity of each farming household was determined using a composite index based on previous studies. The index included five indicators namely human resources, physical resources, financial resources, information and diversity. Results showed that variations in adaptive capacity were caused by differences in information resources, physical and financial resources. Farming households that scored low in these three indicators had lower adaptive capacity. It was also found out that despite their level of adaptive capacity, households employed measures to adapt to climate change and variability. Households with higher adaptive capacity however employed more adaptation strategies.
Enhanced Pacific Ocean Sea Surface Temperature and Its Relation to Typhoon Haiyan
Authors:   NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Comiso Josefino , Perez Gay Jane , Stock Larry
Published: February 2022

Typhoon Haiyan, which devastated the Visayan Islands in the Philippines on November 8, 2013 was recorded as the strongest typhoon ever-observed using satellite data. Typhoons in the region usually originate from the mid-Pacific region that includes the Warm Pool, which is regarded as the warmest ocean surface region globally. Two study areas were considered: one in the Warm Pool Region and the other in the West Pacific Region near the Philippines. Among the most important factors that affect the strength of a typhoon are sea surface temperature (SST) and water vapor. It is remarkable that in November 2013 the average SST in the Warm Pool Region was the highest observed during the 1981 to 2014 period while that of the West Pacific Region was among the highest as well. Moreover, the increasing trend in SST was around 0.20ºC per decade in the warm pool region and even higher at 0.23ºC per decade in the West Pacific region. The yearly minimum SST has also been increasing suggesting that the temperature of the ocean mixed layer is also increasing. Further analysis indicated that water vapor, clouds, winds and sea level pressure for the same period did not reveal strong signals associated with the 2013 event. The SST is shown to be well-correlated with wind strength of historically strong typhoons in the country and the observed trends in SST suggest that extremely destructive typhoons like Haiyan are likely to occur in the future.

Authors:   University of the Philippines Los Banos, Dulin Jerome , Lalican Nelita
Published: February 2022

This study deals with the farming systems and socio-economic impacts of implemented climate change support-policies to 27 farmer respondents in Barangay Carig Norte, Tuguegarao City. Primary data were gathered through a systematic interview with the respondents using a questionnaire, cratfted based on the ultimate goals of the National Climate Change Action Plan. Existing records, assessment and project reports of the local government were also used as basis of the analysis. Based on interviews and secondary data, there was no clear indication that climate change support policies were implemented in accordance with the objectives set by the national government. In addtion, there were no concrete climate change support-policies yet implemented but there are initiatives and fragmented efforts, policies and projects that address the issues of droughts and flooding. Examples of the fragmented support projects implemented to address climate change are free use of water pump and provision of fuel allowance during drought. The crop insurance for calamities is yet to be implemented.

Published: February 2022

A two-season study was conducted in a cabbage farmer’s field in Sariaya, Quezon Province, Philippines to determine the impact of Trichoderma microbial inoculant (TMI) application on above-ground terrestrial arthropod profile. Soil microflora population dynamics, soil chemical properties, the nitrogen and phosphate crop uptake, and disease incidence were monitored for the first season only. TMI treatment was compared with farmer’s practice (FP, control) that involved insecticide treatment following an RCBD with three replicates. Target organisms were simultaneously monitored at 40, 60 and 85 days after transplanting (DAT). This is the first report on simultaneously studying these components of the cabbage agroecosystem.Combined seasons’ data showed higher arthropod counts in TMI plots, with predators significantly higher at third sampling-first season and parasite population first sampling-second season. Insect damage was observed on all plants indicating herbivore infestation, despite insecticide spraying in FP. Marketable yield was significantly greater in TMI plots based on combined seasons’data.Trichoderma invaded cabbage roots and existed as an endophyte throughout the life of the crop. It also significantly reduced disease incidence, increased N uptake despite reduced fertilizer application compared with FP. No change in culturable bacterial and fungal population was observed except for a transient increase in fungal population following TMI application.Further testing on other crucifers should be done to determine their reaction against major insect pests and on functional microbial groups

Published: February 2022

The study determined the relationship of land cover changes and resource use patterns from 1989-2011 of the selected three villages in the Phou Phanang National Protected Area (PPNPA) located in Sangthong District, Vientiane Capital, Lao PDR. It adopted the concept of co-evolution of the communities and the ecosystem for its framework. It is a process in which human communities with their social-system exert selective pressure on the natural-resource base and biodiversity of a given ecosystem and how the resulting changes and alterations within this ecosystem in turnexerts pressure over the given community in terms of the quality of livelihood.The study had shown the positive relationship between population growth rate and land cover change. The positive population growth rate was attributed more on voluntary resettlement induced by the economic opportunities brought about by the government support to lowland agricultural intensification. This condition contributed to decline of the communities’ dependence on forest resources. Without the corresponding technical expertise and budget, the national government failed to regulate resource access in the area resulting to widespread illegal occupation and resource extraction. The result had enumerated six recommendations that may contribute to the development of the management strategies for the conservation of Phou Phanang National Protected Areas.

Authors:   Ankara University, Kocak Funda , Ewert Alan
Published: February 2022

This study was aimed to test the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Environmentally Desirable Responding Scale (EDRS). The EDRS contained 18 items, which were expressed on a 4-point Likert scale. The study group consisted of 221 recreational outdoor sports participants from Ankara, Turkey. The participants included 78 females and 143 males, with a mean age of 23.2 years and a standard deviation of 3.92 years. Principal Axis Factoring (PAF) produced a 3-factor solution with the sub-dimensions self-deception/denial of negatives, image management and self-deception/assertion of positives. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) confirmed this 3-factor solution, AGFI=0.87, GFI=0.90, NFI=0.91, CFI=0.96, RMSEA=0.061 SRMR=0.053. Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient values for 3 sub-dimensions ranged from 0.74 to 0.87. These suggest that the Turkish version of the questionnaire is a valid and reliable data collection tool for recreational outdoor sports participants.

Authors: Marinho Felipe PInto , Silva Brasil Juliana , Costa Rocha Paulo Alexandre , Vieira da Silva Maria Eugênia , Pompeu de Amorim Neto Juarez
Published: February 2022

Neste trabalho, previsões da média diária de irradiação solar global foram obtidas pela aplicação de algoritmos de aprendizagem de máquina em dois conjuntos de dados formados por variáveis exógenas (insolação, temperatura do ar, precipitação, etc), variáveis endógenas (série temporal da média diária de irradiação solar global) e variáveis temporais (ano, mês e dia da medição). A diferença entre os conjuntos de dados está relacionada ao fato de que em um se considera as intensidades dos fenômenos climáticos do El Niño e da La Niña como preditores para os modelos de aprendizagem utilizados, enquanto no outro não se considera. Desta forma, foi possível avaliar se a adição do preditor relacionado ao El Niño/La Niña contribui para uma melhor acurácia de previsão por parte dos modelos aplicados: Máquina de Aprendizagem Mínima, Regressão por Vetor Suporte, Florestas Aleatórias, K-Vizinhos mais Próximos e uma árvore de regressão com o uso de Bootstrap. As métricas de erro Erro Médio Absoluto, Erro de Viés Médio, Raiz do Erro Quadrático Médio, Raiz do Erro Quadrático Médio Relativo e Habilidade de Previsão foram utilizadas para a análise do desempenho dos algoritmos. A média aritmética da Raiz do Erro Quadrático Médio e da Habilidade de Previsão para o caso em que se considerou o El Niño/La Niña como atibutos foram de 40.78 W/m² e 7,87% , respectivamente. Já para o caso em que não se considera tais preditores os valores obtidos foram de 40.86 W/m² e 7.69%. Indicando que o uso destes preditores aumenta a acurácia de previsão dos algoritmos em questão.

Authors: Thanh Tran , Nhan Nguyen Thanh , Truong Vu Van , Minh Tran Dinh
Published: February 2022

This study aimed to identify rubber clones, suitable for rubber-timber production. An experiment was established in randomized complete block design to evaluate the effects of two different planting densities on girth, girth increment, bark thickness, latex yield per tapping per tree (g/t/t), incident of tapping panel dryness disease, and wood potential of nine rubber clones, including RRIV 2, RRIV 3, RRIV 4, RRIV 5, RRIV 107, PB 235, PB 260, PB 330, and RRIC 121. Data of girth, girth increment, bark thickness were collected in the 7th year, prior to opening for tapping, and 17th year of planting. In contrast, data of latex yield were collected in the 3rd and the 11th tapping year, and wood potential was compared based on the data collected in the 11th tapping year. As a result, there were no significant interactions between clones and planting density in girth growth, latex yield, tapping panel dryness and bark thickness, and the first tapping panel (BO-1). There were no significant interactions between clone and planting density on girth growth, latex yield, tapping panel dryness, and bark thickness when these clones were tapped on the first tapping panel (BO- 1). Meanwhile, there were significant interactions between clones and planting density on girth growth, girth increment, and latex yield when the trees were tapped on the second tapping panel (BO-2). Statistical comparison of mean diameters at breast height and bole volume per tree of the same clones at two different planting densities showed that most of the studied clones gave significant differences. However, no significant differences resulted in the statistical comparison of the mean bole height of the same clones at two different planting densities. The total bole volume per hectare of all studied clones was larger at high planting density than at normal planting density. However, the bole volume per tree at high planting density was smaller than that at normal planting density. Clone RRIC 121 could be considered a suitable clone for latex and timber productions. The favorable planting density for commercial timber production is high.

Authors: Atchia Kaleem , Joncas France-Hélène , Summers Trasiewicz Lily , Phin Tan Wei , Ding Keyue , Inman Brant A. , Torren Paul
Published: February 2022

Background Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) dysregulation plays a potential role in prostate cancer progression. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether higher FSH levels during androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for recurrent prostate cancer could predict the development of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), prostate cancer-specific survival (CSS), and overall survival (OS). Methods Serum FSH levels were measured in cryopreserved samples of the continuous ADT arm of the PR.7 trial, supplemented with analogous samples from a large contemporaneous biobank. Univariate and multivariate analyses assessed the relationship between FSH tertiles and time to CRPC, as well as CSS, and OS. Results A total of 172 patients were included in our analysis. Of these, 54 patients (31%) developed CRPC during the 9-year follow-up. Median FSH for the tertiles was 4.35, 6.13, and 11.32 mIU/mL. FSH tertiles were not significantly associated with the time to CRPC, or with CSS or OS. FSH levels were not a significant prognostic factor for these oncologic outcomes. Conclusion As previously reported, the use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists for ADT has significantly more suppression of FSH levels than GnRH agonists. Our results do not suggest that differences in circulating FSH 1 year following ADT initiation influence long-term oncologic outcomes or development of CRPC.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
Kidney transplantation is the best renal replacement therapy for end-stage renal disease. Living donation constitutes the highest proportion of transplants in our country; donation nephrectomy requires assessment of renal function, which will influence the surgical planning of the kidney to donate.
Methods
We made a comparison between the evolutions of patients who underwent right nephrectomy versus left nephrectomy, for donation purposes in our center.
Results
Out of a total of 395 cases, 86 (21.7%) were right nephrectomies. With significant differences in the proportion of intraoperative complications, 2% for left nephrectomy and none for right nephrectomy; and more patients with postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo II) for the left nephrectomy group, with a statistically significant difference (p = 0.02)
Discussion and Conclusions
Adequate surgical planning of the kidney to donate is required to ensure renal function after the donation event, as well as verification of the safety of the surgical act in the donor and the recipient, this must be collegiate and individualized for each transplant binomial.

Authors: Hasanuddin  , Asgar Hari , Hartono Budi
Published: February 2022

Donation activities are generally carried out through offline or direct media which of course makes it difficult for people to make donation transactions, because they have to come directly to the location of the donation service opening, besides that the reach of donors is limited if done offline. From these problems, an Application Programming Interface (API)-based donation transaction system was developed as Backend Development and implemented for Android-based Mobile and Websites. This research produces an API-based system with a REST architecture in terms of Backend Development to make it easier for the public to provide donation transactions and is applied to Android applications and websites as a user interface.
