Issues of multi-actor collaboration in the fisheries sector: Localization of post-Yolanda rehabilitation frameworks in Roxas City, Capiz
Bisan, Flora May D. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2015-05)
As a calamity without peer, typhoon Yolanda can be perceived as an event that brought about a challenging political landscape for Northern Panay communities. The extent of the damage incurred from the typhoon in 2013 stimulated large-scale rehabilitation activities from multiple actors which entailed two things: first is the evolution of the functions of government agencies for the fisheries sector and second is the introduction of non-government actors in the playing field. Local Government Units and civil society organizations are important political institutions because of their direct contact with the community making them the immediate responders during emergencies. However, Yolanda tends to unmake these political institutions as they face challenges with resources and program skills in fulfilling their mandates for rehabilitation.
Using available secondary data, key informant interviews and focus group discussion, the study examines how the post — Yolanda Rehabilitation Frameworks are localized by these actors in carrying out their rehabilitation programs to restore the livelihoods of the affected individuals in the fisheries sector in Roxas City, Capiz. The study analyzes localization by examining the changes in the roles of government agencies on the fisheries sector and by looking into the extent of collaboration of multiple actors involved in rehabilitation through an integrated theoretical framework based on the Structural - Functional Theory by Talcott Parsons (1961) and the Levels of Community Linkage Model developed by Teresa Hogue (1993). This study provides a picture on how rehabilitation after Yolanda is presently being carried out by both the government and non-government actors which has critical implications for the recovery of client fishers.
The Chinese traders of Bacolod City
Bitanga, Sherman H. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1997-03)
This study on “The Chinese Migrants of Bacolod City” documents and analyzes factors which motivated Chinese settlement in the city of Bacolod and their integration into the mainstream of Philippines society. It sheds light and a deeper understanding about their Chineseness and to the history of Chinese migrants in Capitol Shopping Center, Bacolod City.
The most recent Chinese migration to Bacolod City began after World War II. The pioneer migrants were those who put up business establishments in different parts of Bacolod City. The establishment of Capitol Shopping Center as the new commercial locale after the 1955 fire which destroyed the commercial are of Bacolod City, attracted these Chinese migrants to transfer their business into the area. These migrants predominantly came from the southeastern provinces of China, namely, Fukien and Kwangtung. Most of these migrants hail from the cities of Amoy (Fukien) and Canton (Kwangtung). The migrants who followed were relatives and neighbors who preferred to settle in Capitol Shopping Center, Bacolod City. This where the greatest concentration of Chinese in Bacolod are found and where the greatest number of Chinese owned and operated business establishments are located.
The Chinese migrants live scattered within the said community. At present time, only a few of the original Chinese migrants continue to live in the area. Some of them, especially the younger generation of Chinese immigrants, live in other parts of Bacolod City and consider themselves well integrated into their new home area.
The migrants made adjustments to their new social system. The hardships and problems they encountered at their place of settlement, were due to their distinct culture and adherence to their Chineseness.
Ideas and external behaviors of second-generation migrants reveal that the Chinese residents of Bacolod City have largely adopted to the ways of the Filipinos. Because of close and constant interactions that they have with the native residents, the younger generation of Chinese migrants show less adherence to their Chineseness than the pioneers who continued to concentrate on the affairs of their business and homes.
Fidelity of the film adaptation of the novel "Fifty shades of grey"
Billones, Toni Rose D.; Tumbagahan, Angelique S. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2016-05)
This undergraduate thesis is a critical analysis of film adaptation Fifty Shades of Grey to find out its fidelity to the novel in terms of character, setting, and plot using the Theory of Adaptation by Linda Hutcheon and the interpretation of film adaptations by John Desmond and Peter Hawkes. This study highlights the characteristics of the film as a medium especially when it is adapted from a literary work and selves as a guide for filmmakers in adapting literary works. It recommends that film producers should work with the author to create a more faithful adaptation especially to novel series like Fifty Shades. The analysis uses a codebook designed to allow cues to be counted and tallied to determine the elements carried over in the film adaptation. The researchers conclude that the film Fifty Shades of Grey is an intermediate adaptation of the novel with certain narrative elements specifically the character, setting and plot, undergoing addition or deletion in the adaptation process. The dropping of some characters caused a domino-effect on the other elements such as the setting and plot events. The film adaptation changed the mood of the story, from a very explicit into a more subtle form, by adding scenes that can be categorized as romantic rather than sensual
Development of probiotics determination of LD50 of previously isolated indigenous vibriolytic bacteria, Pseudomonas aerugginosa JP4, to Penaeus monodon postlarvae
Billena, Ma. Thesa M. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2000-06)
Previous studies showed that Pseudomonas aeruginosa JP4 is effective in eliminating pathogenic Vibrio spp. on shrimp. However, virulence studies on this strain are lacking. Hence, this study was conducted to test the pathogenicity of P. aeruginosa JP4, using different bacterial densities of 105, 106, 107, 108, 109 and 1010 CFU/ml. These were introduced to Penaeus monodon postlarvae 13 (PL13)and early juvenile (PL25) stages. After 3 days of monitoring, mortality rates and LD50 values were determined using Reed-Muench method. Results showed that shrimps can not tolerate higher bacterial densities with LD50 of 1.15 x 107 CFU/ml and 1.12 x 108 CFU/ml for PL13 and PL25 respectively. The relatively high LD50 values on shrimp stages PL13 and PL25 indicate a low virulence of the bacterial strain. Hence, P. aeruginosa JP4 maybe used as potential vibriolytic bacteria.
Analysis of the cost structure and profitability of small-scale catfish farming in Zarraga, Iloilo
Biene, Brylle D.; Tayco, Zaphara Mae M. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2013-04)
Catfish farming has contributed significantly to the economy of Zarraga, Iloilo. Currently however there are a few existing literature on the economic viability of the venture. This study was undertaken to bridge that gap. Nineteen small-scale catfish farmers were chosen as respondents of the study using simple random sampling method. This study evaluated the economic performance of small-scale catfish farming using cost and return analysis. Measures and indicators of profitability such as benefit-cost ratio, rate of return on capital investment, payback period and break-even points were solved to determine profitability. Sensitivity analysis was also done to examine the effect of changes in major variables on the profitability of small-scale catfish farms. Results showed that small-scale catfish farming in Zarraga, Iloilo is profitable with positive pure, gross and financial profit. The findings also indicated that it is more sensitive to changes in the market price of catfish compared to changes in the prices of major inputs such as feeds, fingerlings and labor. It is recommended that local government programs such as fingerlings dispersal and research supporting catfish farming will be carried out.
