However, the resulting solution has many benefits, especially for health. In the process alone, it can produce gas O3 (Ozone). This gas is needed by the earth for the sustainability of the ecosystem. Ecoenzyme solution when mixed with water, will react and can produce a liquid that can be used for cleaning. Starting from floor cleaners, clothes, bath soap, agricultural medicines and so on. This solution when mixed to water the plants will produce fruit and better yields. In addition, this solution can also be used to repel pests in the fields, such as insects, birds and so on.

Protection of the Environment in National Constitutional Law in Light of the Jurisdiction of the ECtHR – A Hungarian Perspective
Authors: Krajnyák Enikő
Published: July 2024

The article gives a comparative analysis of the protection of the environment in the European human rights framework and at the constitutional level through the example of Hungary. The contribution analyses two judgments of the ECtHR in connection with the country and presents the Hungarian constitutional framework for the protection of the environment. The starting point of the analysis is the fact that the different levels of regulations – international and national – tend to focus on different aspects of protection, yet they significantly influence each other. The presentation of the two Hungarian cases is particularly topical in light of the fact that the Fundamental Law of Hungary, which introduced several unique provisions for the protection of the environment, was adopted between the finalisation of the two judgments.
Kindergarten Teachers' Perceptions and Implementation of Free Play at the Armenian Schools of Lebanon
Authors:   , Kazanjian Loucine
Published: July 2024

Recent literature in Early Childhood Education underscores the importance of play, in general, and free play, in particular, in the early years of children’s lives. However, little is known about free play and its implementation in Lebanese Kindergartens. This research involved a qualitative case study of Kindergarten teachers’ perceptions and implementation of free play in the Armenian schools of Lebanon. Data sources included a questionnaire with open-ended questions and semi-structured interviews. Twenty-five KG teachers from 8 schools participated in the study by completing the questionnaire and of which 22 were interviewed. Data was coded, patterns were identified, and themes emerged through conducting thematic analysis. The results assured the implementation of free play in the Kindergartens of the Armenian schools of Lebanon; however, differences were noticed with regards to time and place of implementation as well as the teachers’ role during free play. The teachers considered that free play is crucial in early childhood and that its benefits suppress its disadvantages. However, they gave little time for free play. Moreover, at times, free play was replaced with structural play, because the teachers thought that the latter would lead to more learning. The findings of the present study are discussed in light of the existing literature. Culture-specific contribution is highlighted as well as recommendations for future research and policy.

Authors: Arora Saloni , Yadav Neha
Published: July 2024

Background: For many years, absent or hypoplastic nasal bone during prenatal scans has been reported to be associated with increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities. We aimed to study the association of isolated absent or hypoplastic nasal bone with chromosomal abnormalities and genetic syndromes. Methods: a retrospective observational study conducted at BLK Max foetal medicine unit, in which women with absent or hypoplastic nasal bone during second trimester scan between 16-24weeks of gestation were recruited over a period of 2 years, from June 2021 to June 2023. Nasal bone was defined as absent when no calcification was seen below the skin of the nasal bridge in mid sagittal view of facial profile, while defined as hypoplastic nasal bone when nasal bone length was <5th centile for gestation according to gestation corrected Indian charts. Absent or hypoplastic nasal bone was defined as isolated - when there was absence of other second trimester soft markers, no other structural abnormalities were seen on the ultrasound and biochemistry screen was low risk. Results :A total of 3008 women were scanned during this period, among these 21 (0.69%) foetuses were found to have absent or hypoplastic nasal bone during second trimester scan. Thirteen (61.9%) fetuses were defined to have isolated absent (n-9) or hypoplastic (n-4) nasal bone which were included in the final analysis. Out of 13, 11 women opted for invasive testing where fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) for 5 common aneuploidies and Microarray (750K) were sent on the amniotic fluid as a unit protocol, and 2 parents opted against any further genetic testing. In all tested cases, FISH and chromosomal microarray reports were reported as normal. All pregnancies were continued in our study group and had favourable foetal outcomes.

Integration of Education in Human Resource Development: Transformation of the Human Resource Management Paradigm
Authors: Alam A. Aminullah , Dewi A. Erni Ratna
Published: July 2024

Education integration in human resource development (HRD) has become a central issue in the modern context. This study aims to examine the role of education integration in human resource development and its impact on the transformation of the HRD management paradigm. The method used is a literature study. The results show that educational integration, through curriculum adjustment to industry needs and implementation of competency-based training programs, is able to improve the quality and competitiveness of human resources. In addition, collaboration between educational institutions and the industrial sector has proven effective in bridging the skills gap that exists in the labor market. The research revealed that innovations in teaching and learning methods, as well as the development of soft skills such as leadership, teamwork and problem-solving, contribute significantly to improving the quality of human resources. The paradigm shift in HRD management is also characterized by increased investment in continuing education and vocational training relevant to global market demands. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of a strategic approach to HR management that prioritizes education as the main foundation for creating an innovative, adaptive, and highly competitive workforce in the era of globalization and digitalization. Thus, education policies that are responsive to industrial dynamics and active participation from the private sector in the education and training process are key factors in creating a sustainable HR development ecosystem. This shows that the synergy between education and industry not only improves individual competencies but also drives overall economic growth.

Published: July 2024

implemented and evaluated the edge detection method using the Sobel Operator, which calculates the gradient of image intensity through two convoluted kernels for horizontal (Gx) and vertical directions. (Gy). The magnitudo gradient is obtained from the combination of both such directional gradients to represent the edge force on each pixel. The main steps include image pre-processing, the application of the Sobel kernel, the calculation of magnitudo gradients, and the filtering of results to extract significant edges. The results show that the Sobel Operator is effective in highlighting intensity differences that indicate the boundary of the object, although it is sensitive to noise and less accurate for fine edges. Despite its limitations, this method is simple to implement and useful as an initial step in image processing applications such as segmentation, pattern identification, and object shape analysis.

This study attempted to know the perceptions of local government officials of Ilocos Sur on licensing of firearms, specifically the level of perceptions of the local officials on the reasons to license firearms. Furthermore, the researchers wanted to know the status of licensing of firearms and the requirements needed for the issuance of firearms. The barangay chairmen, who composed the greatest bulk of the respondents, were 41-60years old, male, and married. Majority of the respondents had no experience in the licensing offirearms. They thought that the PNP Firearms and Explosive Office remain the proper person/agency to issue license of firearms. This agency was noted by the respondents as the place where licenses of firearms were issued. The top three requirements for the issuance of licenses of firearms were: a) submission ofa negative drug test; b) being a law-abiding citizen ofthe Republic of the Philippines; and c) submission ofa medical certificate and a certificate of attendance in seminars relevant to what he is applying. The respondents strongly agreed on the need to license their firearms for thefollowing reasons: a) to regulate the use of firearms; and b) to maintain peace and order and to enhance the development of society.

Published: July 2024

First of all, allow me to thank the National Research Council of the Philippine (NRCP) and the Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University (DMMMSU) for inviting me, on the occasion of its 21st University Foundation Day Celebration, to address this body on a topic that has been sapping much of our energy, brain power, consensus building skills, not to include, patience and tolerance, for the past few months at the University of Northern Philippines (UNP). This is Information of Technology (IT). In this paper, I will belabor to present my own framework of the knowledge based economy. With this, I will show first that productivity is a function of IT. Second, through the framework. It will explain the vital role of research, particularly social science, in attaining productivity. Third, which you may find to be the most important, as it will directly impinge on your research proposal preparation this afternoon, I will present three IT studies undertaken in our University as well as researchable areas which some of you may choose as your title for your thesis or dissertation or plain research. It is my prayer, then, that I will be able to square off effectively the objectives of your theme "Forging Ahead Towards Productivity in a Knowledge-Based Economy.
Phytochemical Screening of Linlinna-aw (Peperomiapellucida Linn.) and its Analgesic, Diuretic and Anti-Hypertensive Properties

This study was conducted to perform phytochemical screening, analgesic, diuretic and anti-hypertensive testing on a local indigenous plant located in damp places commonly known as "Linlinna-aw" and scientifically known as Peperomia pellucida Linn. Specifically, this experimental investigation determined the chemical substances present in both the stems and leaves and tried to determine the pharmacological effects of the plant in terms of analgesic, diuretic and anti-hypertensive effects of the ethanol extracts (screened substances of"linlinna-aw"). This study made use of the experimental research design in an actual laboratory set-up. There were three phases in the experimental process. Phase I included the Air Drying and Extraction process using the Rotavap apparatus, Phase II was the Phytochemical Screening using Mayer's Testfor alkaloids, Fehling's test for glycosides, Gelatin Testfortannins, Froth Test for Saponins, Color Test for flavonoids and Liebermann-Burchard Testsfor triterpenes and sterols. Phase III included the Pharmacological Testing in terms of Analgesic, Diuretic and Antihypertensive Properties. In the pharmacological testing, 50 Swiss mice were used as test animals in Analgesia while six human beings were used in Diuretic and Antihypertensive properties of theplant. Findings showed that "Linlinna-aw" contains the following chemical substances like alkaloids, glycosides, tannins, saponins, sterols and flavonoids in both the stems and leaves. Triterpenes werefound to be absent in both the stems and leaves. There were pharmacological effects of the ethanol extracts (screened substances) using male Swiss mice as test animals. Under the conditions of this test, the ethanol extract of "Linlinnaaw" (Peperomia pellucida Linn) showed that it had an analgesic activity when administered orally to male Swiss mice; itproduced 23.81%, 42.86% and 71.43% protection against writhing at 500, 1,000 and 1,500 mg/kg respectively. "Linlinna-aw" (Peperomia pellucida Linn.) had diuretic and antihypertensive properties. After the intake often "Linlinna-aw "plants, 3 times a day for 5-I0 days, patients were relieved from urinary pain and their blood pressure was normalized. Based on the conclusions, the researcher recommends a follow-up study to be conducted to quantify, isolate and identify the type ofalkaloids, glycosides, tannins, saponins, sterols andflavonoids present in the stems and leaves of "Linlinna-aw" (Peperomia pellucida Linn). Further studies on its pharmacological tests such as anti-tumor, anti-septic, antihemorrhagic propertiesetc. are highly recommended.

This study sought to determine: I) the status of transportation business and public utility in terms of: number and type of employees as managed by transportation owners/managers ofthe PUB and PUJ, gross income commission of the employees and routes of PUB and PUJ; 2) the specific needs and problems of the transportation owners/managers in terms of: motor vehicle maintenance and condition, drivers' quality performance based on productivity and profitability, management's perception of the drivers' quality performance, vehicular accidents andapprehension, and other managementproblems andneeds, and 3) if there is a significant difference of the responses of the transportation owners/managers of PUB and PUJ regarding the identified problems and needs ofthepublic utility service In theprovince ofllocos Sur. This study was conducted through a survey analysis on thetransportation services of the public utility vehicles for bus and jeep with franchise destination route in the territorial jurisdiction of Ilocos Sur. The PUB drivers have varied gross income/commission from 7% to 20% while PUJ drivers have higher gross income for they are the owners and had no conductors. Likewise, a commission of 5% to 10% is given to PUB conductors and 10% to 15% for PUJ conductors. Further, majority ofPUB respondents had a franchise route of Vigan-Laoag while PUJ respondents have varied franchise route in the lowland and uplandmunicipalities of Ilocos Sur. In terms ofspecific needs and problems of transportation owners, majority responded that their motor vehicles are in good condition having a rating of Very Good. Drivers also showed good treatment to their passengers and this had been compensated by similar treatment from transportation owners/managers. Then it comes to violations committed by drivers, they committed only few violations with overloading as the most common violation. Lastly, there was no significant difference in the responses of transportation owners/managersregarding the identified needs and problems of the public utility service. It is therefore recommended that entrepreneurs should venture more into the transportation business considering its profitability.

Published: July 2024

This study determined the effects of bagbagotot (Phyllantus reticlatus) berry dye and atswete (Bixa orellana) seed dye as colorants of white wares constituting transparent base DT 24 at low firing temperature. The results ofthis study showed that atswete dye can be used as colorant on pre-fired white clay ceramics but such dye decolorized at a temperature of 750C in electric kiln firing. The addition of transparent base DT24 to atswete dye did not affect the coloration of the dyes on white ware ceramics.

The study was conducted to determine the extent of implementation of fishery laws in the province of Ilocos Sur. It also came up with a socio-demographic profile of the respondents. Likewise, it identified the fishery laws made and implemented by the local government units. The establishment, operation of fishing infrastructures and the protection of marine environment were also assessed. The study was conducted in 18 coastal municipalities of Ilocos Sur namely, Sinait, Cabugao, Sna JUan, Magiisngal, Sto. Domingo, San Vicente, Sta. Catalina, Vigan, Caoayan, Santa, Narvacan, Sta. Maria, San Esteban, Santiag, Candon, Sta. Lucia, Sta. Cruz and Tagudin. The respondents wre the heads and personnel of the local government units in the said municipalities. This study employed the descriptive method of research with the aid of a questionnaire supplemented by interviews. Results showed that the local government units were dominated by males, mostly married, 41-50 years old and most of them were barangay captains. The most common ordinances passed were against illegal fishing methods with the use of dynamite, cyonide, and other similar activities. The municipalities of Santiago had the most number of ordinance made. The respondents which also included legislators were not aware of the following: the fishery laws passed and implemente; the violations made by the fishermen; the establishment and operation of fishery infrastructures and the regulations involved; and how teh marine environment was given protection. To sum it all, the fishery town were faily implemented by the local govenment units. The following recommendations are presented by the researchers; the local govenment units in Ilocos Sur should deepen their awareness on the existing fishery laws, pass more relevant ones and implement the same; the PNP should help in the strict implementation of the fishery laws; the fishermen should stregnthen their capability in organizing themselves purposely to cease illegal fishing; seminar-workshops and trainings on the effects of illegal fishing on the environment should be conducted so that the fishermen iwll value the importance of freshwater and marine resources.

Published: July 2024

The study aims to describe the proxemics of the llocano hut, with particular focus on the llocano nativehut, the "kalapaw". It attempts to find out how culture can shape the llocano's conciousness in hisuse and perception of the "kalapaw" as his private space. The study is confined to a sitio or segment of Pantay Fatima, a westem barangay in Vigan, Ilocos Sur where the main sources of livelihood of the residents are fishing in the nearby river, occasional farming and small seasonal construction jobs. The "kalapaw" featured for this purpose le located hn the neighborhood. The llocano's use and perception of space are best characterized in his small, low and compact hut- his "kalapaw". Instead  of separate rooms, there is a single room-the main room, yet differentiated whereonecanconverse, sleep, groom, read, pray and dine. The characte of each space is determined by a concrete thing such as a cabinet, a bench, a cookingstove, a mirror, or a table, among others.
