Computerized Medical Record and Monitoring System of Saint Michael College of Caraga, Philippines

Life in the digital age raises the need for computerized medical records. This study was conducted to determine the advantages that the system brings to the school clinic and ease managing the students’ medical records and personnel of Saint Michael College of Caraga (SMCC). The current CPD framework, while superior to paper in general, frequently doesn’t address the client’s issues halfway because they depend on an obsolete paper-outline’ worldview (Gad & Ramadan, 2013). The study revealed that the system was necessary for managing the medical records and that it is very beneficial for the school. In addition, this system stores files with security and adds information to both students and personnel, including their consultation with the clinic. Moreover, the system updates the information whenever there are changes in the patient - fast-tracking data that can be convenient for the clinic attendant. The system also prints three classes of reports that are easy to manipulate. It was recommended that applying the system to the school clinic to boost the performance in managing the medical records, and improve the security standards, maintain privacy and confidentiality of patient data.

Forest Litterfall in Mount Kasunogan

Forest litterfall is plant materials that have been fallen to the ground. It is vital in the process of nutrient forests. The vegetation of the stations in Mount Kasunogan consisted of 7 plant species from 7 different families; Tamanu (Calophyllum) from Calophyllaceae, Sweet flag (Calamus Sp) from Acoraceae, Pitanga (Eugenia Sp) from Myrtaceae, Cogon Grass (Imperatacylindrica) from Poaceae, Hickory Wattle (Mangium) from Fabaceae, Nutrush (ScleriaScrobiculata) from Cyperaceae, Screw pine (Pandanus Odoratissimus) from Pandanaceae, and Ivory Mahogany (DysoxylumSp) from Meliaceae. The researchers investigated litterfall production and decomposition rate and correlated these two essential processes to the soil physical and chemical composition of Mount Kasunogan. Organic matter, Soil pH level, and Soil Moisture have a significant influence on litter production and what factors could increase or decrease its production. It has been denoted that all soil attributes (Organic matter, Soil pH level, and Soil Moisture) impact forest litterfall production. However, two of the attributes, which are the organic matter and soil moisture, barely contribute to the litterfall. In contrast, the soil pH is perfectly correlated and has a significant effect on litterfall production. Station three’s advantage regarding the soil pH and wind presence due to its high elevation explains a large amount of litter production in the area. In this study, it is also concluded that the acidic the soil gets, the faster the decomposition, which also resulted in the faster decomposition in station 2 among the rest of the sites in Mount Kasunogan.

The Level of Students Restroom Satisfaction of Saint Michael College of Caraga, Philippines

Satisfaction is the showing of fulfilling a need, desire, or appetite, or the inclination picked up from such satisfaction that deals with the problem or complaint in a satisfactory way. The study aimed to determine the Level of Student Restroom Satisfaction of Saint Michael College of Caraga. This research used a descriptive design consisting of the survey method to collect applicable information. The result shows that the leading factors that mostly affect the restroom amenities are the fragrance, followed by the overall space, and cleanliness. The researchers hereby conclude that most of Saint Michael College of Caraga students are satisfied with the school toilet. Confirmation/disconfirmation hypothesis Yuksel & Yuksel (2001) proposes that clients contrast another administration experience and a standard they have created. Since it was discovered that the students are satisfied but unfortunately not very satisfied with the conveniences that respect to Cleanliness, Fragrance and Overall Space, in any case, some students said to be less fulfilled. Their conviction about the administration is dictated by how well it measures up to this standard. It was recommended that the administrators, correct or proper monitoring regarding the amenities is a must to improve the restroom’s quality. It should be the cleanliness, fragrance and overall space must be conducted to achieve students’ satisfaction and improve its services

Assessment of Native Flora Species in Relation to Soil Profile on Mount Kasunogan

Biodiversity is the basis of the state of an ecosystem and our entire planet. This study aims to assess the soil profile’s effects on the native flora species on mount Kasunogan. The research was conducted on the west ridge of mount Kasunogan in Barangay Aclan, Nasipit, Agusan del Norte. Flora species of shrubby trees were assessed along with the soil profile on the area. The researchers established three quadrants where leaf and soil samples were taken for assessment. The botanical expedition on mount Kasunogan recorded 37 native flora species. The Malatambis was present on all quadrants, while other species occurred only in one or two quadrants. These flora species have characteristics that allowed them to thrive on the mountain. The soil was determined acidic, and nutrients like potassium, phosphorus, and organic matter mostly ranged from low to moderately low. Planting Falcata, Narra, and Agoho should be considered since these species can withstand intense exposure to sunlight and acidic soil. However, exotic plant plantations must be well studied because there were no exotic plants around in the area.

Soil Assessment in Mount Kasunogan’s West Ridge

The soil remains a fundamental asset to human survival and plant development. Soil degradation is additionally a major agricultural and ecological issue in the Philippines as it incredibly influences soil efficiency. This study focused on the soil in the west ridge of Mount Kasunogan, a notable constraint regarding the mountain’s soil quality. The quality of the soil hindered many people who had been trying to rehabilitate the mountain. This research was conceptualized to determine the soil’s soil content in the west ridge of Mount Kasunogan in terms of soil texture, organic matter content, available phosphorus, and exchangeable potassium. This study utilized simple random sampling to gather the soil samples and performed various soil test methods: Potentiometric Method, Walkley-Black Method, Cold-Sulfuric Acid Method, Olsen Method, and Feel Method. Results have shown that the soil in the west ridge is slightly acidic with a pH level of six and eighty-nine (6.89), has low available phosphorus content with one and four (1.4) ppm, moderately deficient exchangeable potassium content of thirty-eight and thirteen (38.13) ppm, and a low percentage of organic matter with only one and sixty-nine (1.69 %) percent. It was recommended that another soil sampling be done to the areas not covered by this study due to the steepness and vastness of the west ridge of Mount Kasunogan.
