Abstract
The Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA) is a valid and reliable simple observational tool specifically for computer workers however it does not include muscle/force loads as compared to the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA), which is the most commonly used tool regardless of occupations. A modified Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (mRULA) has been developed specifically for computer use among office workers, however, its validity and reliability has weak evidence from only a small pool of currently available studies. This study primarily aims to determine the validity and reliability - namely the external validity, internal consistency, and inter- and intra- rater reliability - of the mRULA in the assessment of ergonomic risk factors among public and private office workers. Secondarily, this study aims to compare the ergonomic risk between office workers in public and private companies. This study is a quantitative psychometric study. Data were obtained through video method of participants from the selected public and private companies in their respective office workstations. Two assessors used both ROSA and mRULA tools for two trials. Results determined the external validity thru Pearson Correlation Test based on ROSA, internal consistency thru Cronbach alpha, inter-rater reliability thru Wilcoxon Signed Test, and intrarater reliability thru the Intra-Class Coefficient of mRULA and compared public and private companies thru Mann Whitney U Test. significant difference, either in the public company (Z = -6.218, p value = .000) or in the private company (Z = -2.211, p value = .027), was found between ROSA and mRULA while approaching moderate internal consistency (Cronbach alpha = 0.536) was found.

Abstract
One of the most common problems we face today is the lack of a proper home-based health care system for the elderly. In the Philippines, there are several elderly people living alone in their homes, with no one to look after them. This is a problem because it’s going to be difficult for them to ask for help if they ever get into an accident. Some systems are already available to monitor a person, but they are limited to only one or two parameters, namely the pulse rate and the temperature. In this study, a low-cost elderly health monitoring system was designed and developed using Arduino Uno, ADXL345 (Accelerometer), LM35 (Temperature Sensor), Pulse sensor and GSM module. This system includes pulse rate monitoring, temperature monitoring and fall detection with the addition of an SMS notification system that will notify the contact person if there is an accident or if the patient’s vital signs are below normal. The initial results showed that the system was able to accurately measure the temperature, the pulse rate, detect falls and to notify the registered number via SMS.

Published: June 2020

Abstract
This research focuses on the impact of basic circuit parameters to the initiation of characteristic ferroresonance modes, which is a non-linear phenomenon, in single-phase power transformers. This non-linear phenomenon is investigated using an equivalent circuit of the transformer together with a circuit simulation. The basic circuit parameters investigated were iron core loss, circuit capacitance, and the source voltage. A mathematical method is used to calculate the critical boundary values of each parameter to avoid the occurrence of ferroresonance in the system. In this paper, an analytical method was used to predict the occurrence of ferroresonance while Matlab/Simulink simulation was used to determine the different ferroresonance modes in the power transformers. By varying the circuit parameters, different ferroresonance modes are observed and discussed.

Abstract
The limitation of oil has been an intermittent worry in plastic production nowadays. One of the sources of plastic production is fuel. However, the synthetic plastic cause harm to the people and the environment. It has contributed as one of the major cause pollution to the surface of earth. Therefore, new alternative for the production of plastic have been studied. This study is conducted mainly to develop a bioplastic from food waste, banana peels. The additives used together with banana peels are natural-based materials such as corn starch, potato starch and sage while the chemical-based materials used consist of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. The addition of glycerol is used to increase the plasticity characteristic. From tensile properties results, it indicates that the banana peels bioplastic with chemical-based show high tensile strength and elongation at break compared to natural-based. However, the modulus of elasticity of bioplastic with natural-based retrieved the highest results. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) of tensile fracture surface shows that the additive is well dispersed with banana peels as matrix with good bonding and better adhesion.

Published: June 2020

Abstract
The KY Power Station relies on two gas turbines to generate electrical energy. In addition, fuel storage is also required to ensure uninterrupted power supplies. As a power generation plant and the existence of fuel storage, an efficient fire protection system is essential. This paper presented a comprehensive review of the existing research on fire protection systems. Utilising the reviewed as basis, this paper also described the five types of KY Power Station fire protection systems as the case study. Specifically, the five fire protection systems are; Water Spray Fixed System, Foam Protection System, Automatic Carbon Dioxide Extinguishing System, Pressurized Fire Hydrant and lastly Automatic Fire Detection and Alarm System. Even though a station may require more than one fire protection systems as illustrated by the case study, this paper observed that the existing researches focused mainly on designing the individual system of different fire protection system according to standard. This paper found that there is lacked of research on optimising these individual fire protection systems. The optimisation usually requires development of mathematical model. Therefore, there is a need for development of mathematical model for the individual fire protection system. These different types of fire protection systems are independent but they are equally important. Thus, there is also a need to look into global optimisation in designing the fire protection system.

Published: June 2020

Abstract
As well known, concrete and steel are widely used in construction industry due to its strength and durability. The usage of these materials is threatening the environment as steel and concrete are non-renewable sources and the productions were consuming largest energy in construction industry. In order to overcome this problem some studies were conducted by different researchers in replacing steel with bamboo in structural components such as beam, column, slab and others. Therefore, in this study, the usage of bamboo as the replacement for steel reinforcement in concrete covering slab is tested. The flexural strength of bamboo reinforced concrete covering slab for 100 mm x 50 mm and 100 mm x 100 mm meshing were tested under four-point load. The result of comparison of flexural strength between steel reinforcement and bamboo meshing shows that the steel reinforcements have more flexural strength than bamboo meshing with percentage difference of 40.95% for 100 mm by 100 mm meshing opening and 62.37% for the 100 mm x 50 mm meshing opening size. From the experiment, it shows that slab cover with steel reinforcement has higher bending strength that the bamboo reinforced. The brittle behaviour of bamboo cannot compete with steel with higher elasticity.
