Amamanglon, Keanne Paula H.; Bragancia, Ira May Joy E.; Gulmatico, Gideon M.; Guzman, Virgi Chrisbelle A.; Mercado, Pauline Victoria M.; Orbase, Jannina Faye O.; Reyes, Mary Camille E.; Yap, Maria Lorna Christy C. March (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-03)
The study is a cross sectional survey to assess the health status of school-age children in barangay Ingore, La Paz, Iloilo City. The health status of the children was evaluated using nutritional status assessment, child care practices of mothers/caretakers and past and present clinical history of disease, and respiratory function. Anthropometry and Clinical Signs were used to directly assess the nutritional status of the children. An Interview Schedule, with mothers/caretakers as respondents was used to determine the socio-demographic characteristics of the household to where the children belong and also to obtain information on their child health care practices. Respiratory or Lung Function was assessed using Lung Peak Flow and Chest Expansion. The results of Anthropometry using the parameters for Weight-for-Age (WFA), Weight-for-Height (WFH) and Height-for-Age (HFA) revealed that 16.3% of the school-aged children were underweight; 10.7% were thin or wasted; 24.4% were stunted, and 4.0% were overweight/obese. The most common clinical signs indicative of malnutrition were pale conjunctiva and the occurrence of dental carries. Most of the children have been breastfed and availed of complete immunization during their pre-school age period. Almost half of them experienced childhood diseases like upper respiratory tract infections (e.g. cough, common colds, asthma, etc.). Peak flow analysis showed that among male, school-age children the average peak flow was 210.6L/minute while among female it was 195.7 L/minute. The computed average peak flow was 203.2 L/minute. The average chest expansion of the subjects was 2.4 cm and the chest expansion of male and female school-age children was 2.4 centimetres. The results obtained in this study can be used as a baseline for future studies especially in the light of the recent operation of a coal-fired power plant which might affect the health status of vulnerable age groups like pre-school and school-age children
Cost and return analysis of van operation in the Municipality of Miag-ao, Iloilo
Alvizo, Marjorie V.; Laura, Cecille R. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2003-03)
Generally, this study aimed to evaluate or assess the profitability of van operation in Miag-ao, Iloilo. It specifically dealt with the cost and return structures of the said business.
The study was conducted in the municipality of Miag-ao, which is one of the towns in the province of Iloilo. There were 11 respondents who are all van operators and at the same time members of the Miag-ao Association of Van Owners and Drivers, Inc. (MAVAD). Two of them owned or operate two vans, so in the data presented there were 13 vans. A one-shot survey using recall method was used as a source of data. An interview schedule was also utilized in gathering the needed data for the study.
In analyzing the data, frequency distribution, percentage, ranking and weighted mean were employed. Likewise, cost and return analysis was used to determine the profitability of the van operation.
Results of the study showed that almost half of the respondents have an age range of 30-40 years. Majority (73%) of them were males and already married. All van operators earned college degrees and have well-paying jobs. Roman Catholic was the dominant religion and most of them have or belong to medium family size.
The cost and return analysis of the study showed that the average initial investment in the van operation was P 238,000. The total annual operating cost was P 434,366. Forty nine percent of it was paid for the salaries and allowances of the laborers. The annual gross revenue was P 505,210 with a net income (or pure economic profit) of P 70,844. Rate of return on investment was 30% and it will take 3.4 years for the business to recover its initial capital outlay.
Based on the results presented, with positive net profit and gross revenue it is profitable to engage in this business venture.

Apatan, Mildred V. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1998-03)
The study focuses on the role of the women rebel returnees in the armed conflict and transformative politics in Leon, Iloilo. Descriptive in nature, it pioneers in the study of women rebel returnees in the region. It has the following objectives: to determine the reasons of the women rebel returnees for joining the insurgency movement, to determine the nature of their political participation and role in the ai med conflict, to identify the reasons which brought them back into the mainstream of society, and to describe the role they played in transformative politics. The method used in gathering the data was personal interview with an interview guide. Also, a questionnaire on their socio- demographic profile was provided. The study found out that, in general, the women rebel returnees joined the insurgency movement for social reasons such as influence of those who were already members of the movement. Their role inside die movement was mostly reproductive in nature, that is, works that deals mostly with or involves their comrades and the movement. Their reasons for leaving the movement were also socially motivated. Their participation in transformative politics is also reproductive in nature and that their positions in various organizations and institutions belong to a relatively upper level. Their problems are mostly financial and could be addressed by giving them more projects, opportunities, and network with other women's organizations.
Effects of high and low protein diets on the gut evacuation rate of Tilapia nilotica
Andrada, Bryan Andrew S. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1999-03)
Gut evacuation rate of young Nile tilapia, Tilapia nilotica fed commercial pelleted diets containing high or low protein diet were determined in the laboratory. The decline in gut fullness of the fish with time was examined at low and high protein diets. Two mathematical models were used to express the decline in gut fullness of the fish with time. Fish fed the low protein diet followed more closely the linear model while those fed the high protein diet followed the logarithmic model. The level of protein resulted in different gut evacuation rates (GER), expressed as coefficients b of the gut fullnesstime curve. GER values were higher in either linear or logarithmic models for fish fed low protein diet than for those fed high protein diet.
