Quantifying Human Population Benefits From Renewable Energy Plants, Jacob D. Mcnevin, James W. Miers Jun 2025

Quantifying Human Population Benefits From Renewable Energy Plants, Jacob D. Mcnevin, James W. Miers

CSU Journal of Sustainability and Climate Change

The implementation of renewable energy is widely recognized for its positive impact on human health and well-being. We propose methods to quantify these benefits by estimating each renewable energy plant’s impact on human mortality and climate-induced displacement. Utilizing established models (DICE, Mortality Cost of Carbon, and methods from Lenton and Xu), we calculate the avoided heat-related mortalities and loss of human climate niche attributable to avoided CO₂ emissions from renewable energy. Applying this methodology to three California clean energy projects—Morro Bay Wind Energy Area (WEA), Morro Bay Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), and American Energy Services (AES) Bellefield Solar Farm—demonstrates …

Acting On Behalf Of An Endangered Species - A Student-Led Initiative To Protect The San Joaquin Kit Fox (Vulpes Macrotis Mutica) On The Csub Campus, Antje Lauer, Sarah Alame, Brittney Beck, Lucas Hall

CSU Journal of Sustainability and Climate Change

California State University Bakersfield (CSUB) is the only campus in the U.S. that has supported an endangered canine species on its campus grounds for many decades. Deprived of its prime habitat, open grassland, the San Joaquin kit fox (SJKF) (Vulpes macrotis mutica) was able to adapt to urban areas in the San Joaquin Valley of California. The presence of an endangered species on campus grounds comes with responsibilities and requires knowledge of the Endangered Species Act (ESA). In the spring of 2023, students and faculty observed several violations of the ESA by CSUB Facilities Management due to ground disturbance and …

Uncovering Political Agendas: A Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis Of Philippine Government Agencies’ Websites, Giulia Renee B. Singson, Justine Gabrielle L. Yu, Julia Cailean G. Dueñas, Charlaine G. Alodaga

DLSU Senior High School Research Congress

The role of websites in communicating government services and updates to constituents is paramount since they can serve as dependable hubs of critical information. However, since these are government websites, there may be politics behind their visual and textual contents that need to be uncovered. Yet, there has been a dearth of studies, especially in the Philippine context, that scrutinized the sociopolitical forces that are at play in the production of these website contents. Hence, in this study, we attempted to continue seamlessly meshing the critical discourse analysis framework of Fairclough with a multimodal analytical model in dissecting the top …

The Role Of Social Media In Philippine Disaster Management: A Systematic Literature Review, Maxim Alexandrite V. Inoferio, Henry Joshua A. Hernandez, Rich Angelo P. Santos

DLSU Senior High School Research Congress

Despite the Philippines being one of the world’s most disaster-prone countries, research on the role of social media in its disaster risk management remains limited. This study addresses that gap through a systematic review of existing literature on social media use in Philippine disaster risk management. Results show that social media is primarily employed in response to typhoons and earthquakes, while its application to other hazards such as COVID-19, floods, and vegetation fires remains underexplored. Usage is concentrated in the response and recovery phases, with minimal attention to prevention and no studies focused on mitigation. Notable best practices include real-time …

DLSU Senior High School Research Congress

Every year, the Philippines faces devastating weather-related calamities that significantly affect vulnerable communities. Since it is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, Filipinos are more prone to experiencing natural calamities such as typhoons, which negatively impacts the community. Contractual workers are defined as those who work under a “no work, no pay” policy and work for a specific period. Due to the absence of paid leave, health benefits, and stable income, contractual workers are financially vulnerable, making it harder for them to recover from disasters. This study explores how typhoons impact the daily life and work efficiency of contractual …

Yellow Card Declined: Lived Experiences Of Embo Residents' Healthcare Access After The Makati Vs. Taguig Ruling, Wazna L. Amil, Koreen F. Bagapuro, Marvin William J. Alberto

DLSU Senior High School Research Congress

In 2023, the three-decade territorial dispute between the cities of Makati and Taguig ended when the Supreme Court ruled to transfer the ten Embo barangays to the latter. One significant consequence of this ruling is the discontinuation of assistance to former Makati residents, particularly healthcare benefits. Understanding how this ruling affects residents’ experiences can provide insights for policy recommendations promoting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 3 and 16. This phenomenological study, grounded in the Adapted Levesque’s Conceptual Framework, gathered data from six participants who were at least 10-year residents of Embo barangay and beneficiaries of Makati and Taguig public …

Exploration Of Adventure-Based Counseling And Its Impact On The Self-Concept Of At-Risk Youth, Kendall Kern, Mary Bess Pannel, Todd Davis, Thales Barbosa

Journal of Academic Underperformance

Background: Integrating experiential therapy techniques with physical activity and nature improves aspects of self-concept: social connectedness, resilience, and healthy coping skills in the short-term for at-risk, underperforming youth (Kraft & Cornelius-White, 2020). Kraft and Cornelius-White (2020) found that wilderness therapy counselors that taught communication skills and prioritized “group cohesion in group therapy” led to positive “changes to self-concept” (p. 350-351). Purpose: The researchers hypothesize that community-based adventure therapy will have a positive impact on the self-concept in at-risk, rural youth. Methodology/Approach: The researchers utilized a quasi-experimental model to assess the impact of adventure therapy on rural at-risk youth (N~6) after …

Globalization has significantly impacted education in the Philippines, notably with the influx of international students coming into the country for educational opportunities. This phenomenon has led to numerous studies examining the various aspects of their experiences, such as their cultural adaptation processes, academic difficulties, and economic contributions. However, their interpersonal relationships, particularly their more intimate connections, have been largely overlooked. This study aims to probe into this, focusing on the dynamics, navigation strategies, and external influences that shape these relationships. Utilizing both online and face-to-face interviews, as well as online surveys, the experiences of nine (9) intercultural couples, each of …
