Composition and abundance of the stomach contents of Caranx melampygus in Nabinbinan Bay, Nueva Valencia, Guimaras

Caigoy, Mary Johnalynn S. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2015-06)

Caranx melampygus, a piscivore common in the Indo-Pacific, is an important diurnal predator in coral reefs, but little local information is available on the diet of this fish. This study was done to determine the diet composition and abundance of C. melampygus by examining the stomach contents of specimens collected every 2-4 weeks from catches of fish corals in Southern Guimaras from May 2012 to November 2013. Chyme, fishes, and shrimps were found in the guts of C. melampygus. The Sergestid shrimp Acetes dominated the overall prey composition, followed by penaeid shrimps, and fishes (atherinid, clupeid, engraulid). The mean food count and prey composition varied among small (6-6.9, 7-7.9, 8-8.9), medium (9-9.9, 10-10.9, 1lli.9), and large (12-12.9, 13-13.9, 14-14.9, 15-15.9) fish, suggesting that the food preference of C. melampygus changes as the fish grows.

Five-factor model of personality and job satisfaction on organizational commitment of bank employees

Caigoy, Denise C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2015-05)

This is a descriptive-correlational study aimed to determine and explore the relationship of personality traits, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment of bank employees in Iloilo City Proper. One hundred ten (110) bank employees aging 20-59 years old were selected through a convenience sampling. The instruments used were Big Five Inventory, Porter’s Job Satisfaction Survey, and Allen and Meyer's Organizational Commitment Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Pearson Correlation and Regression. Analysis showed that there is significant relationship between personality traits particularly of extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism and job satisfaction. Agreeableness, conscientiousness, and emotional stability (neuroticism) can predict affective commitment. Extraversion can develop continuance commitment. Agreeableness and Openness to experience can predict normative commitment. It was also found that job satisfaction was an antecedent of organizational commitment.

Oxygen requirement of Sea Cucumber (Bohadschia marmorata)

Cahuya, Jezyl Leigh D. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2017-06)

The oxygen consumption of juvenile sea cucumber Bohadschia marmorata was studied in the laboratory. The effects of temperature and body weight on oxygen consumption rate (OCR) were determined by measuring the dissolved oxygen levels using closed bottle respiratory method. Mean weight specific OCR of B. marmorata juveniles was low (9±4 pgO2h-1g-1). The OCR decreased with time from 16.9±9.1 to 6.09±3.86 ugO2h-1g-1 rapidly declining in the first two hours then, more gradually thereafter (R2=-0.92). Factors such as temperature and size affect OCR. Oxygen consumption rate tends to increase with increasing temperature. Bigger animals have low OCR levels than smaller ones (R2=0.32).

Panghunahuna sa kaugalingon: Traits, strivings, happiness and religious orientation in the lens of the five-factor model

Cajilig, Veni Grace S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2017-06)

The influence of personality traits, strivings, happiness, and religious orientation on self-concept were studied on 101 women who live within Iloilo city and who subscribe to a folk healer, specifically to a manughilot. Levene’s test indicated that the sample was homogeneous. Respondents were made to answer a battery of tests, namely International Personality Item Pool - NEO - 120, Religious Orientation Scale, Oxford Happiness Questionnaire, Self-concept Clarity Scale, and Personal Striving Checklist. Cronbach alpha was measured for the reliability. Moreover, validity of the scales were measured using Pearson product-moment correlation for both convergent and divergent. An interview was also conducted among five respondents wherein the qualification was based on the number of consultation visits with the manughilot, the highest and lowest were chosen. Using the Multiple Analysis of Variance, the four aforementioned variables did not significantly differentiate self-concept. The results of this study run contrary to the hypotheses and framework.

Processing of sweet potato (Ipomoea Batatas var Bnas) into flour for bread making

Cajilig, Ma. Madeline R. (Division of Physical Sciences and Mathematics, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1984-04)

Sweet potatoes of Bnas variety were processed into flour and its chemical composition such as moisture, fat, ash, crude fiber, protein and carbohydrates content were analyzed. Sweet potato flour has approximately 12.41% protein and an average value of 76.7% carbohydrates. The sweet potato flour was used as wheat flour extender where "pan de sal” was the test bread prepared from 50%, 40% and 30% formulation of sweet potato flour and wheat flour. These three formulations were compared with the control sample made of 100% wheat flour. A straight dough method was used in the preparation of the samples. Sensory evaluation test revealed that "pan de sal” was acceptable in all levels of substitution at 5% level of significance. This would mean that 50%, 40% and 30% sweet potato flour substitution is possible. It was also found that the samples with sweet potato flour produces more yield of "pan de sal” compared to the control sample. The cost involved in the control is considerably higher than the experimental samples.
