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

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

The vertical transmission of ethnobiological knowledge across generations is crucial in preserving biodiversity and sustaining biocultural diversity. However, the mechanisms underpinning this process remain insufficiently studied. This paper introduces the "ethno-pedagogical module" as a novel interdisciplinary framework for analyzing and enhancing the understanding of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) transmission. The module integrates perspectives from cultural anthropology, education theory, and ethnobiology. Cultural anthropology contributes insights into the role of rituals, oral traditions, and communal practices in knowledge dissemination. Education theory offers methodologies for understanding experiential and participatory learning processes essential to TEK. Ethnobiology provides the foundation for examining the practical and symbolic human-environment relationships embedded in traditional practices. This framework facilitates the disaggregation of TEK systems and enables cross-cultural comparisons, revealing how diverse communities sustain biocultural diversity through unique adaptive practices and learning processes. It also offers practical applications by guiding the integration of TEK into formal and informal education systems to foster environmental stewardship and cultural resilience among younger generations. By addressing the complexities of TEK transmission, the ethno-pedagogical module presents a structured approach for preserving traditional knowledge amidst global environmental and cultural changes. The module bridges traditional ecological practices with contemporary educational strategies, promoting resilience and innovation in sustaining biocultural diversity. This interdisciplinary approach underscores the importance of collaboration in safeguarding cultural heritage and biodiversity in an increasingly interconnected and rapidly changing world.

Abstract

Python text-matching libraries have become essential tools in data cleaning and natural language processing; however, researchers have not thoroughly examined their performance, accuracy, and resource efficiency across multilingual scenarios. This study evaluates five major libraries—FuzzyWuzzy, RapidFuzz, Difflib, Levenshtein, and Jellyfish—using a dataset of 50,000 test cases in English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian. We introduce controlled variations in text complexity, error types, and string lengths to measure processing speed, matching accuracy, and resource consumption. The experimental results reveal significant performance differences among the libraries. RapidFuzz processes text 40% faster than others while maintaining efficient memory usage. However, its performance varies depending on language and error type. Levenshtein achieves higher accuracy when handling non-Latin characters, while FuzzyWuzzy consistently performs well across different text lengths. Difflib, despite its built-in availability, runs slower and consumes more resources. Jellyfish specializes in phonetic matching but struggles with long text inputs. Memory usage fluctuates between 20 and 200 Megabytes for identical workloads, revealing substantial efficiency differences. These findings enable developers to select the most suitable library based on their specific needs and computational constraints. Our study introduces a standardized evaluation framework and a multilingual benchmarking dataset, enabling researchers to compare text-matching methods more effectively. By identifying key performance trade-offs, we provide a practical guide for optimizing text-matching efficiency in real-world applications. This research contributes to the broader field of natural language processing by offering data-driven insights and a structured methodology for evaluating text similarity techniques.
