Despite the Philippines having great agricultural potential, monoculture cultivation continues to prevent the realization of this, through poor resource utilization, particularly in the underutilized sector of medicinal-plant-focused agriculture. This study explores the effects of shrubbing, a biological subsoiling method using santan (Ixora coccinea) as the main deep-rooted shrub, on the growth of basil (Ocimum basilicum) under two cultivation systems, focusing on the presence and absence of the added shrub species: traditional monoculture and polyculture. The study, conducted in a controlled 30 m greenhouse in Bacoor, Cavite, aims to assess the effectiveness of shrubbing in improving crop …

Journal of Public Health in the Deep South

Maternal morbidity and mortality remain significant public health concerns in the United States, but particularly in Mississippi, which has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country. This study analyzes data from the Mississippi Poison Control Center (MPCC) from January 2020 through December 2024 to assess trends in exposures among pregnant women. A total of 168 cases were identified. Exposures were categorized as unintentional, intentional, adverse reactions, or unknown, with unintentional exposures (47.6%) being the most common, often due to medication misuse. Intentional exposures, often linked to suspected self harm (31.5% of cases), represented 39.9% of the total. …

"Militant Attitudes" And "Superficial Expressions Of Goodwill": Politics Of Inclusion In Texas Pan Americanism, Leslie N. Torres Jun 2025

"Militant Attitudes" And "Superficial Expressions Of Goodwill": Politics Of Inclusion In Texas Pan Americanism, Leslie N. Torres

Journal of Texas History

Shocked, Florence T. Griswold opened the December 3, 1939, edition of the newspaper La Prensa to find her private correspondence published, and her international collective, the Pan American Round Tables of Texas, outwardly discredited in a scathing article. The editorial author, Alonso S. Perales, a renowned Mexican American civil rights activist, publicly disavowed Griswold, her organization, and meaningless support and allyships from Pan Americanist groups entirely. This article details the rise of inclusion politics amongst Mexican American activists and Anglo American reformers, and illuminates the tensions rooted in ideological hemispheric unity developed amidst racial subjugation in early twentieth-century Texas.

The Correlation Between Decision-Making Skills And The Cognitive Flexibility Of The Grade 10 Students Of Theresian School Of Cavite, Marry Jasmine Christine Velante Ayson, Van Shadric Nalden Ambrocio Bacsal

DLSU Senior High School Research Congress

Adolescents often face the critical task of making informed decisions, particularly when choosing a senior high school strand and college course—decisions that significantly impact their future careers. Despite the importance of these choices, there is a noticeable gap in existing literature on adolescents' cognitive flexibility and decision-making abilities, as most studies have focused on adult populations in Western contexts. This study sought to address that gap by examining the relationship between cognitive flexibility and decision-making skills among Grade 10 students at Theresian School of Cavite. Quantitative results revealed a moderately positive correlation between cognitive flexibility and decision-making, suggesting that students …

DLSU Senior High School Research Congress

Biofilms, ubiquitous microbial communities encased in a self-produced matrix, pose a significant threat to human health, industrial processes, and food safety. While synthetic antimicrobials are widely used, concerns about resistance and environmental impact drive the search for natural alternatives. Guyabano (Annona muricata), a tropical fruit known for its antimicrobial properties, shows potential as a natural antibiofilm agent. This study aimed to compare the impact of three different maceration extraction methods (aqueous, ethanolic, and methanolic) on the antibiofilm efficacy of A. muricata leaf extract against Bacillus subtilis biofilm. Each extract was subjected to a 96-well microplate biofilm inhibition assay, …

2 Cool 2 Be Real? An Intersectional Queer Analysis Of 2 Cool 2 Be 4gotten And Lgbtq+ Representation In Philippine Cinema, Yumi Thaddeus E. Bautista, Natania Isabella M. Benaid

DLSU Senior High School Research Congress

Queer representation in Philippine cinema has long been shaped by stereotypes, silences, and rigid societal norms. This limited portrayal discourages media creators from exploring diverse queer narratives, perpetuating one-dimensional depictions and reinforcing societal prejudice. This study examines 2 Cool 2 Be 4gotten, a coming-of-age film set in post-Pinatubo Pampanga, through a queer and intersectional lens, utilizing Herman’s Basic Elements of Narrative—situatedness, worldmaking, event sequencing, and “what it’s like”—as the analytical framework. Using qualitative film analysis and thematic content analysis, the researchers carefully coded scenes to explore how queer identity intersects with gender, age, class, and emotional experiences, and how these …

DLSU Senior High School Research Congress

Abstract: Road traffic injuries are one of the alarming yet neglected public health issues in the Philippines. Traffic control signs are often installed in conspicuous locations, but their effectiveness can be assessed by how the public understands them. This study investigated the road signage knowledge of Grade 6 students in a public elementary school in Calamba City, Laguna. Data were gathered through a researcher-made 14-item survey and individual semi-structured interviews. Results indicate that the students are generally knowledgeable about common road signage, except for school-related road signs. Inclusion of road safety signs lessons in the classroom was limited, and teachers …

This study explores how observers—individuals who observe but do not engage in online dating—perceive the motivations and behaviors of dating app users. Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), it captures how observers construct meaning around online relationships within the Philippine cultural context. Interviews with young adults elicited that observers generally perceive online dating as convenience-driven and less genuine than conventional relationships. Notably, participants compared app-based connections to culturally established rituals such as panliligaw, linking the former with less effort, fleeting intentions, and weaker commitment. Media depiction and secondhand accounts also figured in such perceptions, tending to reinforce stigmas of superficiality …
