Wala ako sa Mood!: Isang pag-aaral sa Sikolohiya at Karanasan ng Gana

Ang pokus ng pananaliksik ay nakatuon sa pagkakabuo ng modelo ng konsepto ng gana. Sa kasalukuyang par-aaral na ito, ginagamit ang Pagtatanong-tanong na pamamaraan upang malaman ang mga karanasan ng tao sa gana. Ang mga nakibahagi rito ay mga Pilipinong kabilang sa 2natural clusters3 na nasa tamang edad(adult). Ang iba’t-ibang tanong ay nasagot sa karanasan o sa kaalaman sa gana. Sinuri ang mga sagot ng mga kalahok gamit ang content analysis. Ayon ditto nakabuo ng dalawang aspeto; ang Sikolohiya ng Gana at ang Pinanggagalingan ng gana. Tinalakay kung saang sikolohikal na konsepto nabibilang ang gana, pati ang relasyon ng nararamdaman, sa kilos at sa pag-iisip. Ang posibleng paraan upang mapalago at mapagtibay ang pag-aaral, inirerekomenda ang pagtuloy sa mga tiyak na konteksto ng gana at ang pagtinginsa mga negatibong kinalabasanan ng gana

An assessment of the character formation of second year nursing students of De La Salle-Health Sciences Campus based on the ten natural means

The study utilized a descriptive method of research. The subjects were composed of 371 second year nursing students of DLS-HSC who were randomly selected. The self-made questionnaire consists of two (2) parts: the respondent’s socio-demographic data and the formulated questions by the researchers based on the 10 natural means posited by Austin Woodburry (1998) used to assess the character formation of the respondents. The statistical instruments used were mean, t-test, frequency distribution, and f-test. The following conclusions were drawn: 1) Most of the respondents were female, Catholic, have Class C socio-economic status, with a two-career type of family structure, Cavitenos and were residing at home; 2) In the natural mean A - Development of Bodily Health, the character formation of the respondents is very good with a mean result of 3.95. In natural mean B - Control of moods, the character formation of the students is very good based on the mean result of 4.06. In natural mean C - Refinement of Sensibility through Arts and Polite Social Intercourse, the mean result of 4.50 showed that the students had an excellent character formation. In natural mean D - Avoidance of Continual Bustle and Dissipation, the mean result of 3.95 is interpreted as very good character formation. In natural mean E - Self-Discipline by Acts of Self-Denial, the character formation of the respondents was very good as evidenced by the mean result of 3.77. The character formation of the respondents to natural mean F - Good Companionship is very good with a mean result of 4.10. In natural mean G - Friendship with the Good, the character formation of the respondents was excellent as evidenced by a mean result of 4.50. The character formation of the respondents to the natural mean H - Liberal Education was very good with a mean result of 4.34. The character formation of the respondents to natural mean I - Cultivation of Morally Elevated Interests was very good based on the overall mean of 4.04. The character formation of the respondents in the natural mean J - Practice of the Moral Virtues was very good as evidenced by the mean result of 4.37. The total character formation of the respondents based on the 10 natural means was very good based on the mean result of 4.16; 3) There was no significant difference on the character formation of BSN 2 students according to 10 natural means when grouped according to gender, religion, socio-economic status, family structure, ethnic affiliation and place of residency

Optimization and characterization of bio-oil produced from Ricinus communis seeds via ultrasonic-assisted solvent extraction through response surface methodology

As the world confronts a surging price of fuel along with various environmental issues, researchers around the globe are scrambling to identify and develop potential biofuel feedstocks that fall outside the “food or fuel dilemma”. This justifies the need for non-edible oilseeds that can be used as sustainable feedstock for biofuel production. In this study, non-edible Ricinus communis seeds were utilized in the production of bio-based fuel to support the crusade for the use of renewable energy. Extraction of bio-oil from R. communis seeds was done through ultrasonic-assisted solvent extraction. The effects of n-hexane to biomass (HB) ratio, extraction time, and resonance amplitude on bio-oil yield were investigated. Optimization of bio-oil yield was done through central composite design of the response surface methodology. The optimum bio-oil yield was found to be 42% at optimum conditions of 10:1 HB ratio, 25 min extraction time and 50 μm resonance amplitude. Characterization of the extracted bio-oil revealed a density of 0.9 g mL−1, kinematic viscosity of 18.6 cSt at 40 °C, and higher heating value of 29.5 MJ kg−1. The Fourier Transform Infrared Radiation spectroscopy analysis of the bio-oil revealed that it contained ester functional groups. Gas chromatography analysis showed that the major fatty acids present in the bio-oil are palmitic (2.2%), stearic (2.4%), oleic (6.7%), linoleic (8.8%) and ricinoleic (77.1%). The R. communis bio-oil is enriched with unsaturated fatty acids while there is a relatively low content of saturated fatty acid accounting 87.8% and 11.3% of the total fatty acids composition, respectively. As confirmed by this study, the results indicate the potential of R. communis bio-oil as a source for biodiesel production.
