USING OYSTER SHELL ASH AND SAND AS ADDITIVES TO OUTDOOR TILES
type: item
description: The increasing accumulation of waste from seashells, particularly oyster shells, has contributed to environmental concerns. Oyster shells are often discarded improperly, leading to pollution in coastal and urban areas. In response to this issue, the researchers incorporated oyster shell ash as an additive in the production of outdoor tiles, as it has been shown to enhance the strength and durability of construction materials. This study employed an experimental research approach. Oyster shells were collected from a nearby restaurant, while the remaining materials were sourced from local hardware stores. The results revealed that outdoor tiles incorporating oyster shell ash and sand as additives performed better than conventional tiles. Testing showed that the modified tiles were more durable than standard tiles. In addition, the use of oyster shell ash and sand proved to be more affordable and environmentally friendly compared to traditional tile production. The findings demonstrate that oyster shell ash and sand are effective additives in the production of outdoor tiles. The tiles produced using these materials exhibited increased durability while remaining cost-efficient and eco-friendly. This study highlights the environmental significance of repurposing oyster shell waste and supports its potential use as a sustainable construction material.

THE EFFICACY OF LEMONGRASS (CYMBOPOGON CITRATUS) AND PEPPERMINT ( MENTHA �PIPERITA ) OIL AS A NATURAL GERMAN COCKROACH KILLER
type: item
description: Cockroaches pose significant health risks in the Philippines due to their ability to survive extreme environmental conditions and their resistance to various control measures. The German cockroach, in particular, is highly dependent on human habitation and is commonly found in households. While commercial chemical cockroach repellents are widely used, they may cause respiratory problems and damage to the central nervous system, especially in vulnerable populations such as developing fetuses. Because of these concerns, this study aimed to develop a natural cockroach killer spray using lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) extract and peppermint (Mentha × piperita) oil as a safer alternative to chemical pesticides for both human health and environmental protection. An experimental research design was employed in Barangay Apo Esquivel, San Antonio, Nueva Ecija, Philippines. The study focused on the use of lemongrass and peppermint oil as natural cockroach killers. Lemongrass was washed, cut, and boiled in hot water for 30 minutes to obtain the extract. Three different spray formulations were prepared, namely 50% water, 25% lemongrass extract, and 25% peppermint oil; 50% water, 37.5% lemongrass extract, and 12.5% peppermint oil; and 50% water, 12.5% lemongrass extract, and 37.5% peppermint oil. These formulations were tested to determine their effectiveness against German cockroaches. The results showed that the combined use of lemongrass extract and peppermint oil was effective in killing cockroaches naturally and consistently. The concentration of lemongrass significantly influenced the effectiveness of the spray, as mixtures with higher lemongrass content killed cockroaches faster. The addition of peppermint oil enhanced both the aroma and overall efficacy of the spray. Although commercially available cockroach killers acted more rapidly, the natural spray made from lemongrass and peppermint oil was found to be safer and more environmentally friendly. The findings demonst…

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CORIANDER (CORIANDRUM SATIVUM) EXTRACT GEL TREATMENT FOR OPEN WOUND HEALING
type: item
description: Previous studies have shown that the medicinal properties of coriander (Coriandrum sativum) may contribute to effective wound-healing treatments when used in extract form. Although commonly known as a culinary herb, coriander possesses anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties that are beneficial to health. Traditional wound care practices, which often rely on basic materials such as water, soap, or alcohol, may hinder the healing process. As a result, researchers suggest shifting toward more biocompatible and eco-friendly wound care alternatives. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of coriander (Coriandrum sativum) extract as a wound-healing gel for open wounds in terms of wound closure rate, number of days required for healing, tissue growth, and scab formation. This study employed an experimental research design using a quantitative approach to assess the effectiveness of coriander extract as a wound-healing gel. The methodology included experimental design implementation, sample selection, preparation of the extract, application process, data collection, and statistical analysis. The results showed that coriander extract significantly accelerated wound healing compared to the other treatment groups. Most wounds treated with coriander extract healed within 7–8 days and exhibited minimal scarring. Notable improvements in wound closure and tissue growth were observed as early as day 4, highlighting the extract’s potential in promoting faster healing and reducing scar formation. The findings of this study suggest that coriander extract gel is effective in enhancing the wound-healing process.

THE ADVANTAGES OF USING CRUMBLED MOTORCYCLE TIRES AS AN ADDITIVE IN MAKING OUTDOOR TILES
type: item
description: This study focused on the production of concrete outdoor tiles with the addition of recycled rubber derived from scrap motorcycle tires. The use of recycled rubber from scrap tires and other recyclable materials in concrete was promoted to enhance sustainability. The study aimed to determine the effects of incorporating recycled rubber from scrap tires into concrete mixtures used for outdoor tile production. The researchers conducted multiple testing methods to gather data on the advantages of using recycled rubber as an additive in concrete outdoor tiles. Tests performed included drop tests, water absorption tests, weight tests, and ramp tests to evaluate durability, water absorption rate, weight, and slip resistance of the concrete tiles containing recycled rubber additives. The results showed that the addition of recycled rubber significantly reduced the water absorption rate of the concrete tiles to less than 5%. Another identified advantage was the increased slip resistance of the concrete tiles with recycled rubber additives. The findings also indicated that increasing the proportion of recycled rubber reduced the overall weight of the concrete tiles. However, increasing the amount of recycled rubber in the mixture also contributed to a reduction in the compressive strength of the concrete. The study revealed that incorporating recycled rubber from scrap motorcycle tires as an additive in outdoor tile production has several advantages, including reduced water absorption, improved slip resistance, and lighter tile weight. However, these benefits are accompanied particularly by the reduction in compressive strength as the proportion of recycled rubber increases.

WALLET OR MOBILE WALLET: A COMPARATIVE STUDY IN SAVING MONEY BY GRADE 12 ABM STUDENTS IN IMMACULADA CONCEPCION COLLEGE
type: item
description: When it comes to saving money, we have a variety of tools. These include mobile wallets such as GCash and PayMaya, as well as physical wallets that hold cash, such as bifold wallets. In light of this, the purpose of this study is to determine which type of wallet students use and which is more effective for them in terms of saving money. Research indicates that mobile wallets have been steadily gaining traction, particularly during the pandemic when individuals were prohibited from leaving their homes. The convenience of mobile wallets made it easier to conduct transactions without stepping outside. However, there are drawbacks as well. Mobile wallets require data or an internet connection to process transactions, which can be problematic given the unreliable or spotty internet in the Philippines. Additionally, since they function as apps, users may experience technical issues or system crashes that prevent them from accessing their funds. Due to these drawbacks, many wallet users remain uncertain about mobile wallets and prefer to stick with their traditional wallets. Some individuals find it easier to save money when they can see it in tangible form—that is, in cash. However, physical wallets also come with risks and disadvantages. Because they are visible, they become prime targets for pickpockets and theft. Additionally, physical wallets have limited capacity and cannot store hundreds of bills as mobile wallets can. The researchers employed a quantitative method and a descriptive design, allowing them to collect numerical data for statistical analysis, comparison, and interpretation of the findings. Subsequently, they used a simple random sampling technique to gather responses from participants on two sections of the questionnaire: the type of wallet students use and their level of efficiency in saving money, which is categorized into three factors—reliability, convenience, and security. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed through validation by the v…

USE OF OIL INFUSED JASMINUM SAMBAC (SAMPAGUITA) AND ACTIVATED CHARCOAL POWDER AS A NATURAL BATHROOM ODOR ELIMINATOR
type: item
description: Bathrooms can harbor unpleasant odors due to factors like inadequate ventilation and unclean facilities, creating an unhygienic environment for users. The Sampaguita flower is commonly known for its aromatic properties, while activated charcoal is recognized for eliminating unwanted odors in enclosed spaces by efficiently absorbing organic compounds. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of oil-infused Jasminum sambac and activated charcoal powder as a natural bathroom odor eliminator. The study used a quantitative research method and a descriptive-experimental research design, with convenience sampling as the sampling technique. Twenty respondents answered a paper-based survey, assessing the product's overall intensity and effectiveness. The findings of the survey indicate a significant difference between the natural and commercially made odor eliminators in terms of odor intensity, quality, and acceptability. Additionally, the fourth indicator, which assessed whether both products fully eliminated foul odors, also showed a significant difference, with a t-value of -4.502 and a p-value of 0.000244. The collected data indicated that the natural odor eliminator only lessened the foul odors and did not fully eliminate it.
