Abstract

Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) offers a promising approach to convert biomass into bio-oil, contributing to sustainable energy solutions and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. HTL mimics natural geological processes by decomposing biomass at high temperatures (200–350°C) and pressures (10–25 MPa) in a water-based environment, producing bio-oil that can be refined for various energy applications. Despite its potential, several technical challenges limit the efficiency and scalability of HTL. The high energy requirements for maintaining these conditions also pose economic challenges, making HTL less competitive against traditional energy sources. HTL is the complex composition of bio-oil, which contains a mix of organic compounds that make refining and upgrading challenging. This complexity also affects bio-oil’s stability, requiring advanced purification techniques to ensure quality and usability. Solid residue formation during HTL reduces bio-oil yields and increases processing costs. Recent advances aim to address these limitations. New catalysts, such as metal oxides, improve bio-oil yield and reduce oxygen content, enhancing fuel quality. Innovations in reactor design, including continuous flow and microwave-assisted reactors, improve heat transfer and operational stability. Integrating HTL with other biomass conversion technologies, like anaerobic digestion, also offers pathways to increase efficiency and energy recovery. Advances in analytical techniques, like gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, are also improving bio-oil characterization, informing more effective upgrading strategies. While challenges remain, ongoing research in catalyst development, reactor optimization, and process integration strengthens HTL’s potential as a sustainable energy solution, supporting its role in advancing bio-oil production for a cleaner, renewable future.

Abstract

In rapidly urbanizing regions like Bambang, Bocaue, Bulacan, managing household wastewater has become a pressing challenge, primarily due to rapid population growth and inadequate infrastructure. Effective wastewater management is critical to safeguarding environmental and public health, yet it often remains overlooked in developing areas. This study investigates riverside dwellers' awareness levels and practices regarding household wastewater management, aiming to bridge data gaps and provide valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders. By addressing these issues, the research contributes to a deeper understanding of the current challenges and opportunities for improving wastewater practices in the area. The study employs quantitative methods, including surveys and statistical analyses, to examine the demographic profiles, awareness levels, and wastewater management practices of 111 households. Findings reveal a troubling lack of awareness among respondents regarding proper wastewater management, disposal methods, and their environmental impacts. Most households report directly discharging wastewater into nearby water bodies, with only minimal use of appropriate treatment facilities. This practice poses substantial risks, including water pollution, ecosystem degradation, and threats to community health, particularly in a densely populated and ecologically sensitive area like Bambang. These findings underscore the urgent need for targeted interventions to address this critical issue. Community education programs are essential to raise awareness of wastewater management's importance and environmental impacts. Simultaneously, infrastructure investments—such as constructing affordable and accessible treatment facilities—are crucial for enabling proper wastewater handling. The study also emphasizes the necessity for robust policy measures, including stricter regulations and enforcement, to ensure sustainable wastewater management practices.

Abstract

Food insecurity presents a critical global challenge, with developing countries disproportionately affected by its impacts. From 2020 to 2022, the Philippines reported the highest number of individuals experiencing moderate or severe food insecurity in Southeast Asia. Rapid urbanization exacerbates this problem by significantly increasing food demand in urban areas, particularly densely populated regions. As a highly urbanized locality, Malabon faces heightened risks due to its rising population and limited agricultural resources. This study addresses urban food insecurity by exploring the potential of Urban Agriculture, explicitly focusing on implementing the Baira Farming System in the wetlands of Dampalit, Malabon. Using a qualitative approach, the research involves interviewing stakeholders from the City Land Use, Planning Office, and the Local Government Unit to gather critical insights on land use policies and local socio-economic needs. Researchers perform a comprehensive review of relevant literature and conduct on-site observations to evaluate the feasibility of Urban Agriculture in urban wetland settings. By analyzing the correlation between data gathered and the unique environmental and social conditions of Dampalit, the study highlights the potential of Urban Agriculture to foster sustainable and resilient food systems in urbanized areas. This research underscores the significance of introducing accessible and adaptable agricultural practices to urban communities with limited traditional farming options. By integrating Urban Agriculture concepts, this approach addresses both food insecurity and sustainability challenges. The findings contribute valuable insights to the discourse on innovative agricultural practices, emphasizing the transformative role of sustainable solutions in mitigating food insecurity in rapidly urbanizing regions.

Abstract

Chinampas are an effective way to increase access to new crop resources that benefit ecosystems, sustainability, livelihood, and food security. Chinampas are rectangular mud-artificial islands built in bodies of water where crops are grown. They are typically constructed of willow trees, and only one native can be found in the Philippines. Using Avicennia officialnalis, also known as Api-API, which grows in firm mud as a substitute for willow trees, along with landscape architecture, the integration of green space, mangrove nurseries for reforestation, and the reduction of aquaculture—a significant cause of mangrove loss—is a potential building for chinampas in the Philippines setting. The study aims to determine whether a design is acceptable to the residents of the chosen setting and proposed design, Barangay Sto Rosario, Paombong, Bulacan, Philippines, in terms of (1) area usability, (2) design appreciation, and (3) environment, with 264 samples responding to a validated questionnaire consisting of 13 Likert scale questions for quantitative data and three open-ended questions, extracted with thematic analysis for qualitative data. In the research setting, 148 respondents were required to complete the survey. The results show that the design is acceptable. Some aspects were low, but due to the respondents' unawareness of the field and objective of design and landscape architecture, it appears to be welcoming to the respondents' acknowledgement. Respondents also input their perspectives and thoughts about its possibilities for economic values, the full potential of green spaces, and its feasibility and promotion of biodiversity.

Abstract

Recently, especially with the COVID-19 experience, the need to deploy technology in education has taken center stage. Before the pandemic, many teachers did not particularly consider the use of technology as a valuable resource for teaching and learning. However, this is rapidly beginning to change. Many languages programmed in the country are now experimenting with and utilizing technology in learning. Appropriate use of these new resources has effectively upgraded language instruction and learning. Much time, effort, and money has been spent researching and implementing new and existing technology to improve language training. Twenty-five language educators, in a focus group session conducted, feel that now is the time when the use of technological resources to enhance the learning experience will offer the highly motivated learner an efficient and flexible means of attaining basic communicative competence in language learning. The paper discusses how technology can facilitate learning in language teaching. The paper discusses the need to use some technologies for language teaching, like Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, YouTube, and Facebook, which can be easily accessible to computers, iPads, and Android devices. The research notes that with modern technology, one can learn without necessarily being in the physical classroom. Modern language teaching and learning technology makes learning easily accessible anytime and anywhere, provided internet connectivity exists.
