Perception of effective teacher interpersonal behavior and teaching method in relation to student's academic success

Canabal, Ge-Ann D. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2015-06)

This study examined the relationship among the factors influencing the academic success of college students namely: student’s perception of effective teacher interpersonal behavior and teaching method. A survey was done on 155 respondents using three instruments to measure the variables. The data gathered were analyzed using Multiple Regression. Results showed that students perceived the cooperative-type of teacher as more effective than the dominant-type. It was found that both subscale values of student’s perception of effective teacher interpersonal behavior namely dominance and cooperation were predictive of student’s academic success. Also, students perceived the student-centered method of teaching as more effective than the teacher-centered method. Furthermore, it was revealed that only the student-centered method was predictive of student’s academic success.

One-sided feelings: The relationship between some socioemotional factors and parasocial relationship in emerging adults

Canabal, Gellyn D.; Galindez, Sarah Francine G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2023-07)

The present study examined the relationships between the engagement in parasocial relationships and some socio-emotional factors, including attachment anxiety, need to belong, loneliness, and close relationship satisfaction in emerging adults. A descriptive correlational design with two comparison groups was employed. There were forty respondents (N=40) who were assigned to one of the two groups: with PSR (WPSR; n=20) and with no PSR (WNPSR; n=20). The data were gathered online through Google Forms. The results were analyzed using Spearman’s Rank correlational statistics. The study found that there were no significant correlations between the four (4) socio-emotional factors and parasocial relationships. The findings did not support the expected relationships between the said variables. The study suggests a need to clarify the relationships by investigating the causality of socio-emotional factors to parasocial relationships.

Abundance and composition of the gut contents of orbiculate cardinal fish, Sphaeramia orbicularis (Apogonidae) in Palompon, Leyte

Canda, Danielle Clare C. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2017-06)

The study was conducted to examine the gut contents of Sphaeramia orbicularis using specimens from catches of a sled trawl survey conducted from June 2011 to May 2012 in Palompon, Leyte. One hundred seventy-one fish specimens were categorized into six different size classes maintaining an interval of 1 cm: 1-1.9 cm, 2-2.9 cm, 3-3.9 cm, 4-4.9 cm, 5-5.9 cm, and 6-6.9 cm. The guts of the fish specimens were isolated and the contents were placed on a petri dish for identification and counting. Based on the observed percentages of chyme, the species consume a large amount of easily digested materials. The increasing number of prey items as size class increases revealed that the smaller fishes prey on smaller organisms while the larger ones prey on the larger counterpart, and thus smaller predators are a subset of larger predators. Apogonids displayed a generalist diet, consisting mostly of demersal plankton and benthic invertebrates.

The effects of the Gawad Kalinga Resettlement program to the general self-efficacy, task orientation and functional social contacts of the schooled adolescents in Gawad Kalinga Villages in Iloilo City

Caminos, Ann Marie P.; Deveza, Ma. Catalina G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2010-03)

There had been a lot of studies conducted about the Gawad Kalinga (GK) adult residents. This descriptive study will venture on the schooled adolescents (13-19 yrs. old) in the two (2) GK sites, the Sooc, Manduriao Village and the Buntatala, Jaro Village, specifically about their General Self-Efficacy(GSE), Task-orientation and Functional Social Contacts (FSC). General Self-efficacy Test by Schwarzer (2009) and FGD questionnaires are the materials used in this study. There were 47 schooled adolescents. Each GK site was divided into 2 groups (highest and lowest GSE) with 5 participants for each FGD session. It is found that GK program helped the respondents in terms of their adaptation in their new environment. However, the program does not affect their task-orientation because it is mainly influenced by their families. The program does not also serve as a direct functional social contact because of the type of social network they seek in times of problem.

Anti-inflammatory activity study and vitamin C analysis of fruit wine from "BIKA" Vitis quadrangularis wall (Vitaceae)

Camillon, Imee Ruth B. (Division of Physical Sciences and Mathematics, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2003-05)

"Bika" Vitis quadrangularis Wall fruits are non-toxic raw material for wine making. Cytotoxicity test using the Brine Shrimp Assay showed that the crude ethanolic extract has an LC50 higher than 1000 pg/mL. Using the Standard Iodine Method, "bika" fruit was found to contain 789 ppm vitamin C however, analysis of the "bika" wine showed a lower amount (10.8-29.1 ppm vitamin C) . Using the Carrageenan-Induced Edema Assay, "bika" fruit was observed to have a notable anti-inflammatory activity. The crude ethanolic extract and the positive control showed a 75.0% and 38.5% inhibitions respectively, with the latter at a lower concentration than the extract. "Bika" wine's anti-inflammatory activity was slightly lower than the fruit. The wine showed a percentage inhibition of 30.2-56.6%. The first five days of the fermentation was the peak of the yeast activity as indicated by a significant change in the specific gravity, pH and total acidity of the must.
