This study aims to investigate and find a suitable model for forecasting the leptospirosis incidence in the Philippines. The Box-Jenkins approach was utilized in the development of an appropriate model. The dataset was retrieved from the Epidemiology Bureau of the Department of Health containing the weekly number of leptospirosis cases in the Philippines from 2016 to 2018. This dataset was analyzed using the R software. The original series is nonstationary with indications of non-constant variance. Box-Cox transformation and ordinary differencing were performed on the series. The transformed series was analyzed and the results show that ARIMA(0,1,0) or the random walk model is the most appropriate model for forecasting leptospirosis incidence. The residuals and forecast errors of the fitted model behave like a white noise process. The fitted model may be used for forecasting the future number of leptospirosis cases in the Philippines.
本研究旨在探讨菲律宾钩端螺旋体病发病率的预测模型。Box-Jenkins方法被用于开发一个合适的模型。该数据集从卫生部流行病学局检索,其中包含2016年至2018年菲律宾每周钩端螺旋体病病例数。该数据集使用R软件进行分析。原始序列是非平稳的,有非恒定方差的迹象。对序列进行Box-Cox变换和常微分。对变换后的序列进行分析,结果表明ARIMA(0,1,0)或随机游走模型是预测钩端螺旋体病发病率最合适的模型。拟合模型的残差和预测误差表现为白噪声过程。拟合模型可用于预测菲律宾未来钩端螺旋体病病例数。

Information on the speculation and trading of gold abounds. Investors are attracted to moving their funds to gold as guaranteed storage of wealth, while traders capitalize on the dynamism of the market to build capital. The ups and downs in the price of gold and other precious metals can be predicted with proven mathematical and artificial intelligent algorithms. This study used machine learning algorithm in the price prediction of gold over a ten-year period. Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model was used in the experiment, while Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) evaluation metrics were used in the evaluation of the performance of the various ARIMA models. The results obtained in the study proved that ARIMA could achieve high prediction performance over the entire period of prediction. The best prediction outcome of 98.23% was obtained during the 52-week period.

This study sought to estimate the technical efficiency of irrigation systems in Southern Mindanao Region, Philippines. In order to do so, the study assessed the relative efficiency of 108 communal irrigation systems of the five provinces in Southern Mindanao based on the combination inputs and outputs. The input-oriented data envelopment analysis via DEAP 2.1 revealed 28 irrigation systems that are fully-technically efficient as they exhibited 1.00 technical efficiency scores in both constant- and variable returns-to-scale assumptions. Among the fully efficient irrigation systems, Cebuza SIS, Cateel Integrated IS, Badagoy CIS, and Pantang CIS lead the irrigation systems that lie in the efficiency frontier. Implications were discussed.

Taboo and moral reinforcement in Yoruba traditional thought 约鲁巴人传统思想中的禁忌与道德强化
Pub Date : 2020-12-31 DOI: 10.55990/umimrj.v5i1.501

The world is best described in three words – a global village. In extension, the global village is a village of crisis where morality is seriously endangered with particular references to Africa, there is a serious need to attest the pathetic erosion of morality. There are diverse mechanisms for achieving this but one potential factor that should be considered is the potency of taboo. Really, the logical neo-positivist questions the scientific verifiability of taboo while many Christians and Muslims regard it as mere mythical construction to low unvaried mind through superstitious and further the relevance of African Traditional Religion. This paper argues that it is a critical analytical blunder to examine taboo through the lens of Western logic. Besides, modernity does not outlaw the pragmatic significance of taboo. Hence, taboo obeys a special metaphysical logic that draws on the synergy between the physical and the divine realm.
世界可以用三个词来形容——地球村。从广义上说,地球村是一个道德受到严重威胁的危机之村,特别是在非洲,有必要证明道德受到可悲的侵蚀。实现这一目标有多种机制,但应该考虑的一个潜在因素是禁忌的效力。实际上,逻辑新实证主义者质疑禁忌的科学可验证性,而许多基督徒和穆斯林认为它仅仅是通过迷信和进一步与非洲传统宗教相关的神话结构来降低不变的思想。本文认为,通过西方逻辑的视角来审视禁忌是一个关键性的分析错误。此外,现代性并没有取缔禁忌的实用意义。因此,禁忌遵循一种特殊的形而上学逻辑,这种逻辑利用了物质和神圣领域之间的协同作用。

Natural processes bring heavy metals and further escalated by a long history of addition from industrial development. The soil serves as a sink and can accumulate different types of minerals and nutrients, including metals and metalloids that are harmful even at lower concentrations. Plants’ ability to sequester metals and mobilize into various plant parts are significant in the bioremediation process. This study used quantitative and exploratory research design, which involves the collection of soil and plant samples subjected to laboratory test to determine the heavy metal concentration in Pulabato, Tampakan, South Cotabato in terms of arsenic (As), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg). Analysis of variance (ANOVA), correlation, simple and multiple linear regressions are employed to determine significant differences, relationships, and influences. Results show significant differences in plant heavy metal concentration across low, mid, and high elevations for metals Cu, Pb, and Hg. Pb concentration in soil shows a significant relationship with Cu in plants. Also, Pb concentration shows a positive correlation and Hg with a negative correlation for Pb concentration in the plant. Moreover, Hg’s presence in plants shows a negative correlation in Pb for soil and a positive relationship with Hg. Simple linear regression statistics show that Pb significantly influences Cu, Pb in the plant by Pb in soil, and Pb in the plant with Hg in soil. Multiple regression statistics show a significant Pb’s influence in the soil to Pb in the plant but not with Hg. Lastly, As and Pb significantly influences Hg concentration in plants.
自然过程带来重金属,并因工业发展的长期添加而进一步升级。土壤就像一个水槽,可以积累不同类型的矿物质和营养物质,包括即使浓度较低也有害的金属和类金属。在生物修复过程中,植物将金属隔离并动员到植物各部分的能力是非常重要的。本研究采用定量和探索性研究设计,收集土壤和植物样品进行实验室检测,以测定南哥打巴托普拉巴托、坦帕坎、南哥打巴托的砷(As)、铜(Cu)、铅(Pb)、镉(Cd)和汞(Hg)等重金属浓度。采用方差分析(ANOVA)、相关分析、简单线性回归和多元线性回归来确定显著差异、关系和影响。结果表明,低、中、高海拔地区植物重金属Cu、Pb、Hg含量存在显著差异,土壤Pb含量与植物Cu含量呈显著相关。Pb浓度与Hg呈负相关,Pb浓度与Hg呈正相关。Hg在植物中的存在与土壤中Pb呈负相关关系,与Hg呈正相关关系。简单线性回归统计表明,Pb对Cu的影响显著,土壤中Pb对植物中的Pb的影响显著,土壤中Pb对植物中的Pb的影响显著,土壤中Pb对植物中的Pb的影响显著,土壤中Hg对植物中的Pb的影响显著。多元回归统计表明,土壤中Pb对植物中Pb的影响显著,而对Hg的影响不显著。最后,As和Pb对植物中Hg浓度的影响显著。

College students’ happiness is one of the growing topics in social science today for multitudes of social and educational implications. This study aims to characterize the happiness of college students in the context of a college situated in a rural setting in Davao del Sur. The study utilized a mixed method type of research – qualitative research design was utilized by conducting three separate focus group discussions (n=40) of the possible sources of happiness of the students, yielding 146 discrete responses, followed by the use of the quantitative design, which employed the data reduction method in developing a measure of happiness. A total of n=416 students were randomly-chosen to respond on the survey and were asked on how happy they are on the pre-determined sources of happiness. Data reduction via factor analysis was employed to trim the 146 items down to 19 items, which loaded to five components or dimensions. It was revealed that the dimensions of happiness of college students include (1) outdoor activities, (2) within-the-generation activities, (3) romance, (4) self-indulgence, and (5) online gaming. It was further revealed that the top five sources of happiness are eating delicious food, vacation, having adventure, gifts, and hanging out with friends. As a whole, the extent of happiness of college students was high. The results can be a basis in the development of growth sessions, formation programs and classroom activities that can benefit college students. Likewise, it is recommended that the resulting happiness scale will be tested in other institutions of higher learning, or validated with existing measures to establish its psychometric properties.
大学生的幸福感是当今社会科学中日益增长的话题之一,具有广泛的社会和教育意义。本研究的目的是表征大学生的幸福在大学的背景下,位于达沃德尔苏尔农村设置。该研究采用了混合方法类型的研究-定性研究设计是通过进行三个独立的焦点小组讨论(n=40)的学生的可能的幸福来源,产生146个离散的回答,然后使用定量设计,其中采用数据减少方法在开发幸福的措施。总共有n=416名学生被随机选择参与调查,并被问及他们在预先确定的幸福来源上的快乐程度。通过因子分析的数据缩减,将146个项目缩减到19个项目,加载到5个组件或维度。结果显示,大学生的幸福感维度包括(1)户外活动、(2)同辈活动、(3)恋爱、(4)自我放纵、(5)网络游戏。调查还显示,幸福感的五大来源分别是:美食、度假、冒险、礼物、和朋友聚会。总体而言,大学生的幸福程度较高。研究结果可以作为发展成长课程、形成项目和课堂活动的基础,对大学生有益。同样地,我们建议将得到的幸福量表在其他高等院校进行测试,或用现有的测量方法进行验证,以建立其心理测量特性。

The main purpose of this study attempted to determine which domain of work context and social support climate best influences organizational resilience among librarians. It was once verified in a quite number of researches that resilience is very crucial in today’s constantly changing work environment particularly in this growing old society, which has been predictable as predominant world threat in the future. The research was done through non-experimental quantitative research design utilizing descriptive-correlational technique using mean, Pearson r, and regression analysis as statistical tools. The research used adapted questionnaires that were modified to suit the current study. Data was generated through universal sampling technique with 141 librarians from various academic, private, public, and school libraries in Davao City, Philippines. From the result of the study, it was found out that there is a significant relationship between work context and social support climate and organizational resilience. Among the indicators of work context and social support climate, feedback from job is the domain that best influences organizational resilience among librarians.
本研究的主要目的是试图确定工作环境和社会支持气候的哪个领域最能影响图书馆员的组织弹性。曾经有相当多的研究证实,弹性在当今不断变化的工作环境中非常重要,特别是在这个日益增长的旧社会中,这已经被预测为未来世界的主要威胁。本研究通过非实验定量研究设计,利用描述性相关技术,使用均值、Pearson r和回归分析作为统计工具。该研究使用了经过修改以适应当前研究的调查问卷。数据是通过通用抽样技术生成的,调查对象是来自菲律宾达沃市各种学术、私人、公共和学校图书馆的141名图书馆员。从研究结果来看,工作环境与社会支持气候和组织弹性之间存在显著的关系。在工作环境和社会支持气候指标中,工作反馈是影响图书馆员组织弹性的最佳领域。
