Abstract

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of paracord anklet and bracelet made up of guyabano (Annona Muricata) seeds and wormwood plant (Artemisia Absinthium) extract as mosquito repellent and to determine if the paracord anklet and bracelet can be as effective as the commercial patch used in this study. In the study, 2 groups were examined: The experimental group and the control group. The experimental group with variation 1 (50 guyabano seed, 80% of water, and wormwood extract), variation 2 (75 Guyabano seed, 50% of water, and wormwood extract), and variation 3 (100 Guyabano seed, 30% of water, and wormwood extract). The control group was tested with the commercialized patch. Results showed that the overall gathered data showed very promising effectiveness, with a level of effectiveness of 6.5 means. Furthermore, the ANOVA showed no differences at all between the Control and Experimental Group (fcalc 2.20fcrit3.49, P=0.13). This may therefore mean that the paracord anklet and bracelet made up of guyabano and wormwood plant is as effective as the commercial patch used in this study. This study shows that the paracord anklet and bracelet can be considered as an alternative and environmentally friendly mosquito repellent.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the possibility of organic mosquito patches as an alternative to mosquito repellents. The results showed that the control group, namely commercial mosquito patches, was able to obtain the highest rate of repelling mosquitoes. However, statistical analysis did not show a significant difference in the three patches. Thus, the manufacture of organic mosquito patches is as effective as commercial mosquito patches at repelling mosquitoes. In addition, organic mosquito patches have the most economical product compared to commercialized patches. Thus, making organic mosquito patches is not only as effective as commercial mosquito patches but also much more affordable than they cost. It is recommended to use an organic mosquito patch as an alternative to mosquito repellent.

Abstract

This study was conducted to document bryophyte species in a forest patch of Pres Roxas, Cotabato, Philippines. A modified belt transect method was employed and 3 transect lines were established along the human-established trail. Moreover 5 1x1m2    quadrats were randomly established in each transect line.  A total of 18 species of mosses and liverworts were identified. These species were classified under 11 families, and 14 genera.  Nine (9) species of bryophytes were identified from both transect 1 and 2 while in transect 3, only 5 species thrived. Of the 18 species identified, Thiudium benguetense is found in the 3 transect lines established. Two (2) were identified endemic to the Philippines - Ecthropothecium ferrugineum  and Thiudium benguetense.  Moreover, similarity index showed that 86% are discordant species and each transect line harbors unique species of bryophytes. It is recommended that intervention in the protection and conservation of the remaining flora community of the mountain ecosystem must be employed given that community is dependent on the water coming from it.

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the conservation practices of the Maguindanaoan community in Lake Buluan, Maguindanao, BARMM.  A descriptive qualitative method was employed and a total of 50 respondents were randomly selected and interviewed using a structured questionnaire. Pearson correlation was used to assess the strength of the relationship of the variable considered. Data showed that most of the respondents are male (64%) and all are Maguindanaoan. The overall mean knowledge of biodiversity and conservation among respondents was very high, ranging from 4.21-5.00. However, the perceived attitude of the respondents towards biodiversity and conservation was medium, indicating that the majority of the respondents are aware of the loss, exploitation, and reasons of the loss of habitat of native species in the area. The overall mean of 4.16 indicates a high sense of dependent on biodiversity at Lake Buluan. It further showed a high sense of responsibility in preserving the environment, cultural homogeneity, and a high level of community belongingness in Lake Buluan. There is a significant correlation between community awareness and age, knowledge, practices, and well-being. Furthermore, the results of this study can be used as the basis for the government and policymakers in developing a more effective strategy for promoting biodiversity conservation.
