One’s cognitive ability (CA) and emotional intelligence (EI) have individually been found to influence one’s news validation ability (NVA). However, the relationship between both CA and EI and NVA for real and fake Facebook news posts has not been well-studied, especially in the context of the Filipino youth. To address these gaps, the NVAs of several DLSU Senior High School students for real and fake news posts were modelled from their CAs and EIs using fixed-effect linear and …

Filipino Gen Z Consumer Behavior Towards Ukay-Ukay And Their Role In A Circular Fashion Economy, Jodi Aedrienne L. Bengzon, Mary Darlene S. Concepcion, Marion Calvin H. Mijares, Hannah Moriah L. Tayzon

DLSU Senior High School Research Congress

The fashion retail industry heavily relies on an unsustainable business model of maximizing production, fueling the throwaway culture, regardless of environmental costs. As a compromise, the secondhand fashion industry (ukay-ukay), is an interesting sustainable alternative since it reduces waste and recirculates clothing—two integral grounds for a circular economy (CE). However, studies assessing Filipino consumers’ perception of ukay-ukay as a CE are limited, making their role and a CE’s subsequent potential indeterminate. Thus, this study analyzes Filipino Gen Z consumers’ motivating factors of perceived value, the dynamics of individualism, and investigates their role in the ukay-ukay CE. This quantitative study collected …

Vxlan Extensions For 5g User Equipment Sessions, Mahesh Satyanarayana

Defensive Publications Series

A Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) is typically used to create a Layer 2 (L2) fabric across datacenters and multi-cloud environments. A VXLAN is also useful in isolating traffic belonging to multiple tenants hosted in a cloud environment, or even to bridge applications spread across multi-cloud environments. Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards for Fifth Generation (5G) networks define an Ethernet Protocol Data Unit (PDU) type that provides L2 accesses to user equipment (UEs). Presented herein are techniques to enhance such Ethernet PDU capabilities in order to provide an L2 interconnect between 5G accesses and remote datacenters and/or cloud …
