Abstract

This study, focusing on the Philippines, explores the benefits of implementing IoT (Internet of Things) technologies in modern agriculture. The primary objectives are to assess the impact of IoT on crop monitoring, livestock tracking, weather monitoring, automated irrigation, precision steering, greenhouse automation, and field mapping. The research methodology involved an extensive review of the current literature on IoT applications in agriculture and interviews and surveys with farmers and agricultural experts in the Philippines. Data were collected and analyzed to understand IoT adoption's practical implications and challenges in various agrarian domains. The findings indicate that IoT technologies offer significant advantages in enhancing agricultural practices in the Philippines. IoT-based crop monitoring provides real-time data on environmental conditions, enabling farmers to optimize irrigation, fertilization, and pest control. Livestock tracking through IoT ensures animal well-being and efficient breeding practices. IoT-based weather monitoring aids in informed decision-making for crop protection and risk management. Automated irrigation using IoT sensors reduces water wastage while improving crop health. Precision steering systems enhance resource management during planting and harvesting. Greenhouse automation optimizes plant growth conditions and reduces manual labour. Field mapping via IoT allows for site-specific management, improving yield and sustainability. Despite the benefits, challenges like internet connectivity and initial investment remain, necessitating comprehensive strategies for IoT integration in Philippine agriculture.

Abstract

The integration of nanotechnology into the construction industry, specifically in developing asphalt and concrete pavement materials, holds great promise for enhancing infrastructure performance and durability. Nanomaterials, characterised by their nanoscale dimensions, typically less than 100 nanometers, are increasingly employed in pavement construction. This abstract provides an overview of various nanomaterials and their potential impact on road construction. Nanomaterials like nano-silica, nano clay, carbon nanotubes, nanocarbon black, nanofibers, nano titanium dioxide, nano alumina, and nano zinc oxide are explored in this context. These materials offer unique properties due to their small size and high surface area. For instance, nano silica has demonstrated its ability to enhance stiffness, strength, longevity, and resistance to rutting and cracking in asphalt pavement. Nanoclay reinforces mechanical and thermal properties in asphalt and concrete, improving overall performance. Carbon nanotubes and graphene show promise in concrete pavement by enhancing mechanical properties and reducing cracking. Furthermore, nanocoatings are being explored for pavement surfaces, offering benefits such as improved slip resistance, reduced noise, increased durability, and pollution resistance. Despite the potential advantages, challenges exist, including the need for standardised testing and characterisation procedures and the initial cost of incorporating nanoparticles into pavement materials. Ongoing research and development efforts are focused on addressing challenges and making these innovations more practical and cost-effective for widespread implementation. Nanomaterials have emerged as a viable solution to improve road construction, offering benefits for infrastructure performance while minimising environmental impact.

Abstract

Designer babies, a concept once relegated to science fiction, are now a burgeoning topic of discussion and exploration in genetics and bioethics. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the designer baby phenomenon, examining its definition and evolution from cinematic fantasy to scientific possibility. We delve into the intricate mechanisms behind designer babies, shedding light on the genetic engineering technologies, particularly CRISPR, that underpin this concept. While these technologies hold immense promise, they are still nascent, awaiting rigorous development and ethical scrutiny. The paper highlights the current state of designer baby research, emphasising that successful implementations on human subjects remained unverified as of its writing. Notably, we recount the controversial case of He Jiankui, whose unapproved and ethically questionable experimentation with CRISPR on embryos in China sent shockwaves through the scientific community. The arguments surrounding designer babies are dissected, presenting both proponents' views, such as the potential to eradicate genetic diseases and enhance human potential, and critics' concerns about ethical dilemmas, reduced genetic diversity, social inequality, and unpredictable consequences. Ethical considerations are paramount, touching upon human dignity, social justice, eugenics, unintended consequences, autonomy, and the impact on religious and moral convictions. Once a fantastical notion, designer babies have become a tangible subject of scientific inquiry and ethical discourse. This paper endeavours to provide a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted dimensions surrounding designer babies, allowing readers to contemplate the ethical, social, and scientific implications of a future where genetic engineering may shape the very essence of human existence. As society grapples with these profound questions, we must navigate this uncharted territory with wisdom, responsibility, and an unwavering commitment to ethical principles.

Abstract

The exponential growth of electronic waste (e-waste) has become a pressing concern. This alarming trend is expected to persist. The study identifies falling prices as a primary driver behind the surge in e-waste, making electronic devices more affordable and accessible globally. Developing countries, particularly in Asia, bear a significant share of this burden, as a burgeoning middle class with disposable incomes contributes to increased purchases and frequent replacements of electronic goods. Asia alone accounts for more than 40 percent of the global e-waste generated. The critical need for urgent and coordinated global efforts to address the escalating challenge of e-waste. It highlights the environmental hazards posed by improper disposal and the socio-economic impact on developing regions. As electronic consumption continues to rise, effective strategies must be implemented to mitigate the adverse effects of e-waste, emphasizing sustainable practices, responsible manufacturing, and international collaboration.

Abstract

The construction industry, a dynamic realm of progress and responsibility, grapples with the imperative to minimize waste and enhance sustainability. This exploration unfolds various strategies for effective waste minimization, delving into source reduction techniques, lean construction principles, prefabrication and modular construction, design for deconstruction, and just-in-time delivery. Source reduction, commencing at the construction process's inception, emphasizes material efficiency, inventory management, and process optimization. Lean construction principles draw inspiration from manufacturing methodologies, spotlighting just-in-time production, continuous improvement, and value stream mapping to optimize processes and eliminate waste. Prefabrication and modular construction techniques, with their focus on precision, transport efficiency, and design flexibility, promise faster construction, reduced waste, and heightened quality control. Design for deconstruction advocates for structures crafted with an end-of-life strategy, emphasizing material selection, component standardization, and minimizing adhesives. Just-in-time delivery orchestrates the timely arrival of materials, minimizing waste, handling, and environmental impact associated with excess inventory. These strategies collectively paint a narrative of efficiency, sustainability, and responsibility, urging the construction industry to shape a future where each structure is a testament to mindful environmental stewardship.
