By Bullecer, Wrondyl John B..
Bayombong: Nueva Vizcaya State University, 2023 .
xv, 76 leaves : , The study was conducted to determine the prevalence of nematode infection, establish reproductive indices and identify the existing correlations between infection and reproductive indices among dairy cattle in Cagayan Valley Fecal samples of dairy cattle (n=256) were subjected to flotation and Baerman larval culture method to identify nematode eggs and larvae. Despite all animals being dewormed, a high level of infection was observed in the samples collected with 112 samples (71.34%) showing infection with at least one type of nematode, 44 samples (28.03%) were infected with two types of nematodes, and 1 sample (0.63%) was found positive with three types of nematodes. The overall prevalence for Haemonchus sp. Trichostrongylus sp., and Trichuris sp. were 39.45%, 35 16%, and 5.08% respectively. Evaluation of reproductive indices showed that during first service (n=72), fertility (59.72%) and conception rates (95.35%) were within standards. However, calving to first service interval (CFSI) (n=116) was extended with 38.79% of cows taking more than 70 days to return to heat. Calving to conception interval (CCI) (n=116) was extended with 40.52% taking >110 days to get pregnant. Calving interval (CT) (n=146) was extended with 34.25% of cows having >500 days interval. Infection with Trichuris sp. was correlated with extended CFSI (-0.176, p = 0.029, CCI (r = 0.208, p = 0.01) and CI (-0.183, p - 0.023) while Haemonchus sp. infection was correlated with extended Cl (r = 0.246 p < 0.002) Improvement in health management is highly recommended to reduce or prevent nematode infection in dairy cattle. | Thesis (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) 28 cm..

Bayombong: Nueva Vizcaya State University, 2023 .
xiv, 66 leaves: , The study determined the management practices and milk production parameters of dairy buffaloes in Cagayan Valley. The data were gathered primarily through an interview/survey questionnaire. Dairy buffalo owners in the provinces of Cagayan Valley that were interviewed are from Cagayan, Isabela, Quirino and Nueva Vizcaya. Dairy buffalo farmers (n = 22) were interviewed to identify the management practices of dairy buffaloes. Survey showed that majority of the respondents were backyard dairy buffalo farmers in San Agustin, Isabela. The demographic information of farmers, farm operation profile, breeding system, health management, biosecurity measures, feeding management, housing management, milking management, and individual animal profile were collected and compared with the backyard and commercial dairy buffalo farming. Analysis using Pearson Chi-square test revealed that certain factors are associated with the milking parameters in dairy buffalo. The study showed that the number of litters of milk per day was determined statistically significant (p < 0.05. p < 0.012) with the frequency of water, (p < 0.01 p <0.002) with the type of milking, time of milking was also found significant at the level (p < 0.01, p < 0) to the number of litters of milk per day. Frequency of milking was also determined statistically significant (p < 0.05 p < 0.011) with type of milking, (p < 0.05, with the severity of mastitis. Based on these findings, it can be p < 0.011). | Thesis (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) 28 cm..

By Gumunot, Remora M..
Bayombong: Nueva Vizcaya State University, 2023 .
xv, 70 leaves : , This study was conducted to identify and determined the prevalence of trematode parasites affecting dairy cattle, establish baseline information on milk production and correlate the prevalence of trematode parasites with milk performance parameters of dairy cattle in Cagayan Valley. The study was undertaken in four provinces namely: Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, Isabela and Cagayan province. Fecal samples were collected from 256 dairy cattle and subjected to sedimentation and Baermann technique for trematode egg and larva identification. Fasciola spp. and Paramphistomum spp eggs were identified through sedimentation whereas no larva was found using the Baermann technique. Fecalysis shows a low prevalence of trematode parasites (14.45%) detected in Cagayan Valley Low milk yield production was also noted in dairy cattle where Isabela province contribute the most. Analysis using SPSS-Pearson correlation revealed that certain variables such as Body Condition Score ( p < 0.012 , r = - 0.157 ), status of the animal ( p < 0.014 , r = - 0.153 ) average litter of milk yield per day ( p < 0 , r=-0.266) and age ( p < 0 , r = - 0.25 ) are negatively correlated with increased infection of Fasciola spp. Negative correlations were found between Paramphistomum spp. and status of the animal ( p < 0.036 r = - 0.131 ) and average litter of milk yield per day ( p < 0.028 , r = - 0.137 ). Farmers are recommended to attend on dairy production and management trainings and should also consider the possibility of selection and crossbreeding where it is feasible with improved feeding and proper management systems to help increase milk yield production. | Thesis (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) 28 cm..

Perception of bachelor of science in tourism management students on the flexible learning implementation and career outlook/

By Angel, Angelica W..
Bayombong: Nueva Vizcaya State University, 2023 .
xv, 57 leaves : , The education sector implemented flexible learning to address the challenges posed by the CoViD-19 pandemic. Flexible learning is a set of educational theories and approaches aimed at giving students more options, comfort, and customization to meet their needs. As a result, the goal of this study was to evaluate the use of flexible learning and the career prospects of Nueva Vizcaya State University Tourist Management graduating students. The purpose of this study was to determine the demographic profile of BSTM graduating students, as well as their perceptions of the effectiveness of flexible learning implementation, career outlooks, and prospective career choices. Additionally, the significant differences between variables were investigated. A descriptive-inferential research design was used in the study. A three-part survey questionnaire was distributed to the 70 BSTM graduating students. The collected data was then analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results revealed that the 70 student respondents are mostly in their early twenties and females. When asked how many devices they used for online studies, nearly four out of ten respondents said they only have their phones. Finally, when it comes to internet access, respondents primarily use mobile data. Furthermore, the overall perception of flexible learning by student respondents is positive. This merely demonstrates that the student-respondents were on the right side of the pandemic. Despite the pandemic's challenges, flexible learning provided a positive learning environment. Overall, the student-respondents have a positive career outlook. First and foremost, they believe that the pandemic will have a negative impact on careers in the hospitality and tourism industries. Prior to and during the pandemic, they had already decided and acted in the same manner in pursuing a career in the tourism sector. They have faith in the academic institution's educational system, which has assisted them in flexible learning, and help them pursue their preferred tourism career. Finally, given their positive career outlook, student respondents are confident that they will be fully prepared for the tourism industry in 2023. In terms of career choices, the student-respondents were given 14 different career options. The student respondents preferred career path would most likely be that of a restaurant steward. It received the most votes from student respondents as their top choice. Their second most desired career path was front office manager. Event planner was the third most popular career choice. It was also found that when students were grouped according to their age, there was a significant difference in their perceptions of the effects of flexible learning in terms of the ability of the students. It was found that older respondents exhibit a more positive effect of flexible learning on their ability compared to their younger counterparts. However, student-respondents have nearly equal career prospects regardless of demographic variable.

Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of hog raisers in compliance with the prevention and control program of african swine fever in selected municipalities of Nueva Vizcaya/

By Bicera, April Joy V..
Bayombong: Nueva Vizcaya State Univesity, 2023 .
xiv, 71 leaves : , The study was conducted to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of hog raisers in compliance with the prevention and control program of African Swine Fever implemented by selected municipalities of Nueva Vizcaya. A total of 96 hog raisers and 7 local program implementers were the respondents of the study. The study was conducted from May-August 2022. A set of questionnaires were developed and administered to the respondents. The data were collected through the key informants and personal interviews of the respondents. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results were presented in narrative method and portrayed in tabular forms. The respondents were mostly married females, between 21 and more than 50 years old. The respondents were mainly from the llocano and Igorot ethnicities and predominated by Roman Catholics. Majority of the respondents have 5-9 household sizes, self-employed, engaged in hog raising for less than 5 years purposely for source of income. The backyard farm is the most common type of production scale with a grower to finisher production system. Most of the respondents are knowledgeable of the causative agent, transmission, and clinical signs of the ASF Similarly, the respondents are highly aware of the stage of production, class of pigs affected, non-zoonotic potential, the need for a confirmatory diagnosis and unavailability of treatment or vaccine for the disease. The respondents are not compliant with the recommended location in between piggeries, provision of signages, wearing of protective clothing and showering upon entering the farm premises, record-keeping and vehicle movement management practices. However, majority of the respondents are compliant with the proper way of disposing of suspected/confirmed carcasses, disease monitoring and surveillance activities, and post-outbreak contingency-related procedures. African Swine Fever still exists in the province amidst the collaborative efforts of concerned government agencies involving policies and ordinances, information, education, and communication campaign strategies, border control, and the detection of African Swine Fever in piggeries and animal holding facilities. This was compounded by the unavailability of vaccines, the reluctance of hog raisers to disclose animal diseases, and the illegal movement of undocumented pigs and by-products. Based on the results, recommendations were provided to improve compliance with Good Animal Husbandry Practices that would help eradicate African Swine Fever in the province. | Thesis (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) 28 cm..

Bayombong: Nueva Vizcaya State University, 2023 .
xiii, 56 leaves : , The study was conducted to determine the wound healing activity of powderized chicken eggshell and eggshell membrane in albino rats (Rattus norvegicus) Specifically, the study aimed: (1) to compare the length of time (days) for the wound to completely close after application of powderized chicken eggshell and eggshell membrane, (2) to compare the length of time (days) for a complete epithelialization; (3) to compare the tensile strength of the wound after healing, and (4) record any possible side effects after application of powderized chicken eggshell and eggshell membrane in wound. A total of twenty-five (25) 2-3-months albino rats of either sex weighing approximately 100-250 grams were randomly distributed using the Complete Randomized Design (CRD) The different treatments were composed of Treatment 1 (negative control), Treatment 2 (positive control- Mupirocin ointment), Treatment 3 (powderized whole chicken eggshell), Treatment 4 (powderized eggshell membrane), and Treatment 5 (powderized eggshell). The duration of the treatment lasted for 30 days. The study showed that powderized eggshell and membrane either alone or in combination are comparable with commercial antibiotic ointment in terms of wound contraction rate, epithelialization, and tensile strength. Thus, it can be used as an alternative in managing wounds to enhance wound healing. | Thesis (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) 28 cm..

Bayombong: Nueva Vizcaya State University, 2023 .
xvii, 62 leaves : , The researchers in this study sought to ascertain the level of influence of social media platforms on the travel decisions of students at Nueva Vizcaya State University Bayombong. Specifically, the demographic profile of the students, as well as the most commonly used social media platforms and the level of influence of social media platforms on their travel decisions, were all determined. Furthermore, the significant differences in the variables were investigated where descriptive-inferential research design was used in this study. A three-part survey questionnaire was distributed to 368 randomly selected students from the NVSU-Bayombong Campus' eight colleges. The collected data was then analyzed and results revealed that the majority of student respondents are females aged 20 to 22 from the College of Teacher Education, in their first year, and of Ilocano ethnicity. Finally, student respondents spent an average of three to four hours per day on social media platforms. The most popular social media platform for making travel decisions is Facebook. Instagram is ranked second, then followed by TikTok. Social media platforms had a significant influence on the travel decisions of the student respondents where students agreed that social media platforms influenced their travel decisions primarily due to their ease of use. They were, on the contrary, hesitant to gather travel information through social media platforms. They were also undecided about whether to plan their trips using social media content and then follow some of the advice given on social media platforms. When making travel decisions, student respondents from the College of Human Ecology are significantly more likely than those from the College of Agriculture to be influenced by social media platforms. Furthermore, Kankanaey students are significantly less likely to be influenced by social media platforms when making travel decisions than Tagalog, Ilocano, Ibaloi, and other ethnic groups.

Bayombong: Nueva Vizcaya State University, 2023 .
x, 40 leaves : , A cross-sectional study was done to determine the prevalence of Ehrlichia canis infection in dogs in Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya using a commercially available indirect lateral flow immunochromatographic assay Forty-seven canine blood samples were used in the study. Results revealed an over-all seroprevalence of 27.33% with Bonfal East having the highest seroprevalence at 55.55% (5/9) from among the five barangays included in the study. Among the animal characteristics, breed was found to be associated with Ehrlichiosis seropositivity. Seroprevalence of Ehrlichia Canis was higher in the Philippine Native Dog breed compared to non-PND (p<.05) Age and sex, on the other hand, are not substantially linked with the seroprevalence of Ehrlichiosis (p>.05). Current tick infestation, mucous membranes status, and body condition scores (BCS) were also not found to be associated with Ehrlichia Canis seropositivity (p>05). Results of this study revealed that Ehrlichiosis is prevalent in dogs in Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya. Further studies are recommended to identify the major risk factors associated with Ehrlichiosis that will be helpful in its prevention and control. | Thesis (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) 28 cm..

Bayombong: Nueva Vizcaya State University, 2023 .
xv, 71 leaves : , The study was performed to identify the breeding management and health management practices and evaluated how breeding and health management effects on the reproductive parameters of dairy cattle farms in Region II A total of 9 farms from selected provinces of region 2 were interviewed for the survey on the breeding, health management and reproductive parameters of dairy cattle Out of the 9 respondents, five (5) are from Isabela, two (2) respondents are from Nueva Vizcaya, one (1) respondent is from Quirino, and one (1) respondent is from Cagayan. All farm respondents provided their demographic profile, farm profile, breeding management, health management, and reproductive parameters. Analyzed data show strong positive correlation between first service fertility rate and type of disinfectant used (r=-0.868, p<0.025). Calving to first service interval has a strong negative correlation between cows that gave birth once that return to heat in 70 days and got concepted and frequency of deworming (-0.919. 3010) A strong negative correlation was observed between calving to conception interval and dewormer used (Doramectin, oxfendazole, fenbendazole) (r=-1.000, p=0.00) A strong negative correlation was observed between calving rate and basis of breeder selection (Progeny) (r=-0.685, p,0.042), strong positive correlation between disinfectant sed (r=0.708, p,0.033), and a strong positive correlation between frequency of using hormone (PGF2a (r=0.682.p<0.043) Calving to calving interval in multiparous cows who have given birth for 400-500 days after calving has a strong negative correlation between frequency of sanitation ( r = - 0.715 p < 0.046 ) strong positive correlation between method of giving dewormer ( r = 0.88 p < 0(4) and strong positive correlation in the use of vitamins and minerals (molasses) (r=0.880, p < 4 ) A strong negative correlation was observed between calving to calving interval in multiparous cows that has given birth for 500 days after calving and method of giving dewormer (r=-0.863, p < 0.006 ), use of vitamins and minerals (molasses) ( r = - 0.863 , p < 0.006 ) and frequency in giving vitamins and minerals (molasses) ( r = - 0.863 p < 0.006 ) Based on the finding of this study, we recommend that farmers should practice daily sanitation, regular disinfection, regular disposal of waste, and use of disinfectant that is capable enough to kill microbes in the farm, practice regular deworming, vitamin and mineral administration, practice dewormer rotation and practice strict biosecurity measure for the possible entry of disease. | Thesis (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) 28 cm..

Bayombong: Nueva Vizcaya State University, 2023 .
xi, 62 leaves : , This cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of Salmonella spp. in retail chicken meats collected from selected municipal public markets and supermarkets of Solano, Bayombong, and Bambang municipalities of Nueva Vizcaya Simple random sampling was used to select a total of 110 chicken meat samples from five randomly selected vendors selling chicken in the selected public markets and random selection of chicken meat parts in supermarket Conventional method was employed to isolate and identify Salmonella spp in the chicken meat samples Over-all prevalence rate of Salmonella spp. was found at 69% (76/110). The prevalence rate in public market was found at 61 8% which is significantly higher compared to supermarket at 38% (p-001) Among the three municipalities, lowest contamination rates was found in Bambang markets at 51.43% (p=0.006) Results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) using Kirby Bauer Disk diffusion method revealed that all (100%) isolates were resistant to at least one antimicrobial tested. The highest level of resistance was observed to ampicillin at 98.98%, followed by resistance to ceftriaxone (88.16%), tetracycline (76.31%), and cefotaxime with 72.37%, while the lowest percentage resistance was observed to meropenem at 10.52%. High proportion of the resistant isolates were found to be multi-drug resistant at 85.33% (65/76) with the resistance to five classes as the most common at 32.89% (25/76), and the phenotype AMP-GEN-C-CTX-CRO-TET as the most frequent phenotype. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that public wet markets pose a significant risk for the transmission of resistant Salmonella. The study highlights the importance of monitoring and controlling Salmonella contamination in chicken meat sold in wet markets and supermarkets to ensure food safety. | Thesis (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) 28 cm..

Survey study on trematode, parasites and reproductive indices of dairy buffaloes in Cagayan Valley/

By Maggay, Bryan Paul M..
Bayombong : Nueva Vizcaya State University, 2023 .
xiii, 59 leaves : , The study determined the socio-demographic profile of dairy buffalo farmers, health management practices of dairy buffalo farms, prevalence of trematode infection and established baseline information on the reproductive indices of dairy buffaloes in Cagayan Valley. Isabela has the highest number of dairy farms in Cagayan Valley. Majority of the respondents were literate, male and married. All farms practice deworming but only 22.27% apply rotational derworming strategy. The most commonly used dewormer was albendazole (78.57%). Majority of buffaloes sampled has a BCS of 3 (84.70%), were lactating (48.24%) and vaccinated (99.22%). Fecal samples from dairy buffaloes (n=255) were subjected to sedimentation and Baermann larval culture method to identify trematode eggs and larvae. To calculate reproductive indices, productivity records were collected from dairy farmers (n=21) through personal interview. A low level of infection was observed in the samples collected with 27 samples (10.59%) showing infection with at least one type of trematode, 14 samples (5.49%) were infected with Paramphistomum spp., and 13 samples (5.10%) were found positive with Fasciola spp. Evaluation of reproductive indices showed that during first service (n=93), fertility (49.46%) and conception rates (100%) were within standards. However, calving to first service interval (CFSI) (n=187) was extended with 43.31% of cows taking more than 90 days to return to heat. Calving to conception interval (CCI) (n = 187) was extended with 70.58% taking >190 days to get pregnant. Calving interval (CI) (n = 146) was extended with 45.89% of cows having 420-540 days interval. Improvement in health management is highly recommended to reduce or prevent trematode infection in dairy buffaloes. | Thesis (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) 28 cm..

Bayombong: Nueva Vizcaya State University, 2023 .
xvi, 52 leaves : , The purpose of this research was to assess the implementation of flexible learning and the career prospects of Nueva Vizcaya State University Hospitality Management graduating students. This study specifically sought to determine the demographic profile of BSHM graduating students, as well as their perceptions of the effectiveness of flexible learning implementation, career outlooks, and prospective career choices. Additionally, the significant differences between variables were investigated. A descriptive-inferential research design was used in the study. A three-part survey was distributed to the 95 BSHM graduating students. The collected data was then analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results revealed that the 95 student respondents were mostly in their late teens, ranging in age from 20 to 22, females, used mobile phones for online studies, and primarily connected to the internet via mobile data. The student respondents' overall perception of the effects of flexible learning was positive. They primarily believed that the implemented flexible learning required them to plan for and take precautionary measures in dealing with their future as hospitality professionals. Following that, they discovered that flexible learning had a positive psychological impact on their students' ability to learn independently and focus on their schoolwork during the pandemic. Furthermore, student respondents were found to be optimistic about their future careers. Among the possible career paths for the student-respondents, they would almost certainly go into the restaurant industry as stewards. They are, however, the least likely to pursue a career in convention sales. Students with Wi-Fi internet access also viewed flexible learning as a much more important measure for their future in the hospitality workforce than those with both Wi-Fi and mobile data access, but not those with only mobile data access. Student-respondents have nearly equal career prospects regardless of demographic variables. Lastly, the findings revealed that there are no significant differences between the demographic profile of the BSHM graduating students and their perceptions on the effects of flexible learning. However, there was a significant difference in their perceptions of the effects of flexible learning in terms of the preparations and measurements of the hospitality workforce when grouped according to their internet profile.

Effectiveness of banana fiber in the flexural strength of concrete/

By Elizaga, Caren L..
Bayombong: Nueva Vizcaya State University, 2023 .
xvi, 68 leaves : , This research determined the effects of using banana fibers in the flexural strength and load bearing capacity of concrete with banana fiber compared to the normal or conventional concrete. The experimental phase of the research included testing of 18 samples; three samples of the normal concrete and 5 samples each of 0.1%, 0.5%, and 1% of the Banana fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC). The main variables considered in the experimental program were the percentage of banana fiber, constant type of concrete mix and length of 30mm banana fiber, and also the constant curing age. The samples were generated in two major processes; the extraction of banana fiber manually (tuxing and separating the fiber by scraping the pseudo stem), and mixing of concrete by casting and curing of concrete. The results of this study indicated that the variation in the flexure strength of concrete and load bearing capacity of concrete depended mainly on the banana fiber percentage. It was found that the flexural strength and load bearing capacity of concrete increased by increasing the percentage of banana fiber from 0 to 0.5%, while increasing in the strength started to vanish when approached to 1% of fiber. | Thesis (Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering - Structural Engineering) 28 cm..

Bayombong: Nueva Vizcaya State University, 2023 .
v, 53 leaves : , The construction sector, which has the largest workforce in the world, plays an important role in the socio-economic development of a country. In this industry, project success is crucial. It can be defined as the endpoint of an organization's objectives, which correlate to delivery on time, within budget and within specifications. This study aims to identify the different success factors in the construction of BRGajes Building Building (Capitol Site, Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya) which are categorized into four major groups such as project-related factors, external factors, project management action and human-related factors from Chan et al. (2004). For the purposes of this study, a qualitative-exploratory approach is used for the research design, wherein data were collected through survey questionnaire checklists with open-ended questions that were distributed to the chosen respondents, which include supervising engineer, project engineers, personnel from the management team, foremen, and laborers. In addition, literature reviews were done as the secondary research method of collecting data. This study is limited only to determining the success factors of the above-mentioned construction project, which is the researchers' main purpose. The results of this study were interpreted using basic statistical techniques specifically, percentage analysis for the survey questionnaire checklists and bar charts for the open-ended questions. As a result, project-related factors accumulated 73.335% which has the highest percentage. In conclusion, the most critical success factor is the Project-related factors which has a percentage of 73.335%. This firmly implies that the project's type (residential, commercial, etc.), nature (private or government-funded), complexity in terms of structure and design, and size, all of which fall under project-related factors, had the greatest impact on the success of the BRG Building's construction.

x, 71 leaves : , The study documented seventeen (17) certified organic farms and their spatial attributes in the different sites of three municipalities in Nueva Vizcaya. Sta. Fe, Kayapa, and Bayombong were among the areas covered. The farms were geotagged to provide metadata for generating GIS-based maps for the organic farms. The study collected information from identified respondents through coordination with the local government units of the municipality and referral from previous farmer contacts. A researcher guided questionnaire was used to gather the needed information by actual site visit, interview of respondents, and on-site validation of information. The study was conducted from June to August 2023. The general objective was to profile the certified organic farms, farmers and practices in Nueva Vizcaya. Results on the profiling of farms showed that majority of the organic farms were located in the municipality of Kayapa. The observed topography ranged from hilly to mountainous, with slopes primarily between 18-30% and 30-50% respectively. Farm altitudes started from 314 masl to generally 1,000 masl up to 1533 masl. Generally, farms were closed to conventional farms or residential areas hence buffer zones were initiated to prevent or avoid contamination. The described farm practices included mixed cropping. Crop rotation, and a fallow period. The majority of farmers used their own plant-based pesticide mixtures and fertilizers, however, some opted to buy organic fertilizers for ease. Coordinates from geotagging generated maps using geographical information system software provided useful information on the location of farms, characteristic of the farm, crops grown in the production site, and cultural practices. The information produced were essential specifically for future support in promoting organic farming and the continuing production of organic crops | Thesis (Master of Science in Crop Science - Horticulture) 28 cm..

Bayombong: Nueva Vizcaya State University, 2023 .
ix, 245 leaves : , Project management is a tool used to maximize the use of commodities and resources available to fulfill certain project goals, and the success of the project is defined by how well it is managed. Project management can be described as the processes of carefully planning, organizing, controlling, and motivating the organization's resources in order to foster and facilitate the achievement of specific established and desired goals, as well as meeting the specific success criteria required in the organization (Larson, 2014). The present study seeks to identify the total cost and maximum duration, as well as to assist the budget process by providing estimates of the funding necessary to properly execute the proposed three-story academic building's construction. To achieve these goals, cost estimating takes into account all necessary materials, labor, and equipment, as well as indirect and engineering costs that contribute to the project's bottom line. The current DPWH rates are used to calculate material costs, labor rates, equipment rates, and production rates. Based on the projected duration, a Gantt chart and project schedule were created. Based on the study, the total projected building cost is Php 42,772,253.57. Without considering indirect expenses, the computed material costs Php 25,760,672.29, labor costs Php 5,341,546.22, and equipment costs Php 2,118,949.31, for a total direct cost of Php 33,221,167.82.

Charting the operations of sanitary landfill facility at converted forestlands of three municipalities in Nueva Vizcaya, Philippines/

By Navarro, Charmane Joy D. .
Bayombong: Nueva Vizcaya State University, 2023 .
xvi, 132 leaves : , This study characterized the establishment, performance and future plans of sanitary landfills (SLFs) established in three municipalities in Nueva Vizcaya (Aritao, Bayombong and Bagabag) to raise insights whether such LGUs indeed contribute to forestland degradation from poor implementation of SLF operations. The researcher used a mixed-method approach to scrutinize the technical, management, and socio-economic aspects of the SLFs using existing independent ratings. MLGU performance reports, interviews, and consultation with experts. It was found that studied SLFs were relatively underdeveloped and undermanaged. The process of determining site suitability was not based on technical analysis. The LGU's budget and staffing for SLFs are at bare minimum; staff were not technically prepared to engage in planning matters like improvement, mitigation of unprocessed waste, among others. Further, LGUs were not maximizing SLFs in terms of community livelihood and government income generation. There was no definitive perception that component barangays of the three LGUs were proactively participating in domestic waste minimization, avoidance and/or refusal. This led to the notion that waste generation remained the same, if not rising. Eventually. growing waste volume would prompt municipal governments to convert more forestlands into tail-end waste management facilities. Thus, the municipalities have intensified their information education campaign program to impart the essence of cooperation and accountability in terms of proper handling of their solid waste. The researcher generalized that this study employed variables such as financial management, social acceptability, accessibility among others, to develop a multi-faceted outlook on condition of SLF and its managing bodies. Based on the observations or survey responses, sanitary landfills success to contain waste relied heavily upon the support of the LGUs. The higher the investment cost put into the facility and management depicted that the service was effective and had quality assuming all the aspects including the barangays contributing to the facility were cooperative and accountable. | Thesis (Master of Science in Forestry - Forest Resource Management) 28 cm..

xiii, 186 leaves : , While Blended Learning (BL) is believed to be an effective learning modality in the midst of the Covid 19 pandemic, there is a need to explore the practices of science teachers, challenges they experienced on the use of this approach which might impede the teaching-learning process as well as the opportunities that could affect the Senior High School students' science knowledge proficiency and science process skills as the learning outcomes. Utilizing the descriptive research design in general and descriptive-predictive research method included the 30 Senior High School Science teachers in 15 senior high schools in the Schools Division (SDO) of Quirino and 210 Grade 12 students representing the 15 schools. Based on the study, the typical Senior High School Science Teacher in the SDO-Quirino is a female, young adult in age, relatively young in years of teaching science, a bachelor's degree holder, and had adequate hours of training on blended learning modality. The teachers practiced at the integrating level application of knowledge and content within and across curriculum teaching areas, teaching strategies responsive to the educational needs of learners in difficult circumstances, and use of teaching and learning resources. They were confronted by challenges relative to the distribution and retrieval of modules, students' learning, teachers' preparedness, self-learning modules, and technical elements, but they had evident opportunities beneficial to the science teachers relative to students' learning, faculty development, and instructional materials. The Grade 12 Senior High School students who attended blended learning modality (modular and online learning) in the SY 2021-2022 were low proficient in science proficiency. They were nearly proficient in overall science process skills, specifically in basic science process skills and found low proficient in the Integrated Science Process Skills. Science process skills of students are associated with the teachers' practices, teachers' challenges along students' learning, and teachers' opportunities along students' learning. Science proficiency of students is associated with the overall teaching practices. Only certain demographic profiles (age, years of teaching and highest educational attainment) of the teachers are significant predictors of the Grade 12 students' science proficiency and only age and years of teaching are significant predictors of Grade 12 students' science process skills. | Thesis (Master of Education in Science Education - General Science) 28 cm..

It was conducted in the Schools Division of Nueva Vizcaya which is currently one of the most active divisions in Region 02, particularly in organizing and implementing various programs, activities, and projects to potentially promote the Department of Education's primary objectives and functions as a learner-centered public institution. The 206 respondents were randomly selected and identified using Yamane's Formula. An adapted questionnaire was proportionately distributed from among as a form of data gathering. The significant findings of this study revealed that age, marital status, monthly income, highest educational attainment, type of school showed significant difference along the level of extrinsic motivation as perceived by the teachers. Along teachers' performance it recorded outstanding performance indicating a highly motivated teachers' along with compensation needs, organizational relation, security relation, professional growth and recognition. Furthermore, the level of extrinsic motivation associated with teacher performance showed significant correlation along with professional growth. Hence, it is suggestive that teachers with longer years of teaching may provide technical assistance to the younger ones. Moreover, the school's division through its human relation development may strengthen the in-service trainings or seminars to develop higher level of extrinsic motivation towards effective teaching strategies of the teachers. | Thesis (Master of Education - Educational Administration) 28 cm..

xii, 128 leaves : , This thesis investigated the association between teaching strategies and the use of instructional materials with the English performance of 100 Grade VI learners in Bagabag 1 and Bagabag II Districts during the Academic Year 2019-2020. The study used a descriptive-inferential research method and employed a structured questionnaire to collect data from Grade VI English teachers and their class records. Data analyses included frequency counts, percentages, means, standard deviation, Spearman Moment Coefficient of Correlation, Multiple Regression, and Correlation. The findings revealed the teaching strategies were highly effective and instructional materials were consistently utilized. Learners' average English grade was satisfactory. Certain teaching strategies correlated significantly with specific instructional materials. Only role play showed a significant correlation with learners' academic performance in English. Surprisingly, the degree of instructional material utilization had a negative correlation with learners' English performance. The study identified four predictors for learners' English performance, accounting for up to 99.70% of the variance. The study recommended fostering innovative teaching practices, adapting instructional materials to promote learner engagement, exploring differentiated instruction, and combining traditional and progressive instructional materials to enhance English teaching in Grade VI. Additionally, further investigation into the negative influence of role play on learners' performance and appropriate usage of technology-based learning and online resources were suggested. Implementing these recommendations could lead to improved English performance among Grade VI learners.

ix, 122 leaves : , Education sector is going back to the face-to-face or the in-person instruction. One of the qualities that the learners need to be able to come back to school is their Mathematical resilience. Mathematical resilience is an orientation to produce a favorable mechanism to respond to difficulties in learning Mathematics (Hutauruk and Priatna, 2017). Pulungan, Retnawati and Jaedun (2022) shared five dimensions of Mathematical resilience. These are the implementation and use of Mathematics learning platforms, the adaptation of learners in learning Mathematics, the learners belief in learning Mathematics, the learners' communication skills during Mathematics learning, and the support in learning Mathematics. For this study, the last four of these factors are hypothesized to be the dimensions of the Mathematical resilience of the learners. This study generally aims to determine the Mathematical model of the Mathematical resilience of the 309 learner respondents from the Senior High School STEM learners in the Schools Division of Nueva Vizcaya. A modified questionnaire is used to gather information from the learner-respondents. Multiple Linear Regression was utilized to model the learners level of mathematical resilience. The results revealed that the STEM learners of Nueva Vizcaya are resilient. Moreover, the Mathematical model of the Mathematical resilience of the Senior High School STEM learners in the Schools Division of Nueva Vizcaya indicates that there is a positive relationship between the three predictors namely, final grade in Pre-calculus, Grade Level, and ADM experienced; and the learners' level of Mathematical resilience.

Bayombong: Nueva Vizcaya State University, 2023 .
xii, 153 leaves : , The post-pandemic transition in education has caused new challenges for the students. Particularly, the shift to face-to-face learning leads to psychological anxiety and negative learning experiences, especially for those who became dependent on digital resources while studying remotely. It is for this reason that the study was conducted to identify various factors that affect their attitudes toward learning, specifically in mathematics. The study determined the interrelationship between and among learning environment, mathematical mindset, grit, and parental influences on students' attitudes toward mathematics. It ultimately endeavored to craft a proposed training design for teachers to better facilitate the teaching process of mathematics. This study was conducted in Higher Education Institutions and State Universities and Colleges in Nueva Vizcaya among 528 first year student-respondents and employed a descriptive-correlational analysis. Descriptive statistics was used to determine the profile of the respondents and to describe the various variables that affect students' attitudes toward mathematics. Structural Equation Modeling was used to determine the model that shows the interrelationship between and among the variables. Despite the challenges brought by the post-COVID transition, the students possessed favorable behaviors and perspectives and a conducive learning environment. Moreover, the learning environment directly affected the attitudes of students toward mathematics. Similarly, this is also the case for parental influence as it directly affected students' attitudes. The variables in the study have direct and indirect effects on students' attitudes toward mathematics. Therefore, these should be considered to further enhance the teaching-learning process which would eventually improve the academic performance of the students.

By Villegas, Rechie Joanne Aduca.
Bayombong: Nueva Vizcaya State University, 2023 .
xv, 83 leaves : , A pot experiment was carried out to determine the efficacy of different growbag media with varying compositions of agricultural residues such as Cocopeat, Rice husk and Sawdust, for selecting suitable materials for matric suction irrigation for enhancing the growth of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) under certain Moisture Allowable Depletion (MAD) levels. The study was conducted in Brgy. Darubba, Quezon, Nueva Vizcaya from October 2022 to January 2023. The Moisture intake curve was established which showed that Cocopeat: Rice husk and Cocopeat: Sawdust mixture had the same trend of moisture intake. A Soil-water characteristic curve was also established which showed that the mixture of Cocopeat and Vermicompost has the highest water retaining capacity among all the growing media tested. The moisture content of Cocopeat, Cocopeat: Rice Husk and Cocopeat: Sawdust at 15 kPa (Permanent Wilting point) were 14%, 12%, and 10%, respectively while the Filed Capacity were 37%, 28%, and 22%, respectively. The moisture content decreased as matric suction potential increased. This indicates that growing media-water characteristic is related to particle size and pore distribution and is highly affected by growing media texture and composition. The experimental set-up was laid out in Split-Plot in Randomized Complete Block design with 9 treatments replicated thrice. The treatments used in the study were Cocopeat/ 15% MAD TI), Cocopeat/ 30% MAD (T2), Cocopeat/ 40% MAD (T3), Cocopeat: Rice Husk/ 15% MAD T4), Cocopeat: Rice husk, 30% MAD (T5), Cocopeat: Rice Husk/ 40% MAD (T6), Cocopeat:Saw dust/ 15% MAD (T7), Cocopeat: Saw dust/ 30% MAD (T8), and Cocopeat: Saw dust/ 40% MAD (T9) All treatments were mixed with Vermicompost. 120 days after sowing, ripe tomato fruits were harvested manually. Growth and yield parameters were recorded. The results revealed that the diameter of main branch, plant height and number of lateral branches were highest in the media containing Cocopeat: Vermicompost in 1:1 ratio under 30% MAD level. The significantly fruit yield of tomato (721.07 g/pot) was achieved in growing media containing equal proportion of Cocopeat: Vermicompost (1:1) under 40% MAD level. The same treatment achieved the highest results in terms of number of fruiting cluster, number of fruits per plant, single weight of a fruit, diameter and length of fruit. Besides, the promising effect of matric suction irrigation had been brought out in the study as alternative means for surface irrigation. The mean total fruit yield and mean total water applied for all the treatments during the cropping season is shown in Table 17 having the highest water use consumption among all treatments. The treatments with Cocopeat: Rice husk had better WUE than those treatments containing Cocopeat; Sawdust. Based on the analysis of variance, there is highly significant difference in crop Water Use Efficiency among the treatments. | Thesis (Master of Science in Agricultural Engineering - Soil and Water Management) 28 cm..

Bayombong: Nueva Vizcaya State University, 2023 .
xviii, 127 leaves : , The development of innovative ways for agricultural systems and works were introduced to evaluate the industry such as hydroponics farming. However, for appropriate plant development, disease prevention, and quicker growth, a hydroponic system requires a regulated atmosphere. Temperature, and humidity are to be considered to attain the highest efficiency in plant production. Thus, this study covers the design, construction, and testing of an economical automated greenhouse for growing Bok Choy, which aims to create a system that is both cost-effective and requires minimal human involvement after the germinated plant is placed into the system. Results showed that compared to conventional farming, adopting hydroponic A-frame plant beds increased the maximum production per unit area to approximately 40%. The automated control system validation confirmed through testing and with the provision of objective evidence have succeeded. The crop's comfort level for temperature (25-32 °C) and relative humidity (60-80%) carried out the proper activation in accordance with sensors' reading. The controller provided sufficient responsiveness and it carried out the suggested programming for the monitoring and activation of ventilation fans and mist sprinklers. The place of cultivation was found to be important for leaf size, with the values from protected production (1.2 kg/m²) being higher than those from open field production (0.8 kg/m²). The results showed that the use of covered farming had a significant impact leading to the production of healthy plants. The benefits of a regulated environment, which have increased photosynthetic activity and nutrient uptake, can be linked to the rise in vegetative growth. The cost of production factors with hydroponic system includes the cost of equipment depreciation and hydroponics modules, labor costs, nutrients, rockwool, and seeds at P2,817.88. Based on financial analysis that vegetable farming system was very profitable with a P1,002.62 net profit and breakeven point of 13.93 kg per cropping. Therefore, with its high quality to cost ratio, this system can be accessible for use of the agricultural community as well as for agro-based companies, and it can undoubtedly boost crop yields and total productivity.

xiii, 88 leaves : , The study examines grade 7 learners' reading performance and the implementation of the Basic Education Learning Continuity and Recovery Plan (BELCRP) in the Department of Education, Division of Nueva Vizcaya. It investigates significant differences in performance, implementation, and relationships between the two. The study was conducted in nine (9) public secondary schools, covering the four center municipalities such as Diadi, Bagabag, Solano, and Quezon, during the school year 2022-2023. Using total enumeration and stratified random sampling techniques, the respondents were the English Reading Coordinators, and the learner-participants involved were taken from the population of Grade 7, composed of 336 learners chosen randomly. A validated research questionnaire was used to assess the implementation of the BELCRP in grade 7 learners' reading development. The English Reading Coordinators administered pre- and post-test results using the Phil-IRI Descriptive statistics were used to describe learners' profiles, reading performance, and the implementation of the Basic Learning Continuity and Recovery Plan in grade 7 learners' reading development. Inferential statistics such as the T-Test. Analysis of variance, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation were used to answer inferential problems. The study revealed that most grade 7 learners are female, 13 years old, have parents as learning assistors, have access to technology, textbooks, and digital media, and belong to mega schools. The learning continuity and recovery plan is crucial in program management, teaching strategies, objective attainment, remediation/intervention program delivery, reading skills development, and support materials. The learners with high school graduates and college-degreed parents were more independent readers in the post-test. Mega schools also showed significant improvements in reading performance, suggesting that remediations were effective in improving learners' reading performance. Also, significant improvement in learners' reading performance from instructional to independent levels indicates effective remediation implementation, without reliance on BELCRP. | Thesis (Master of Education - Educational Administration) 28 cm..
