BOA 2Nd DLSU SHS Research Congress 2nd DLSU SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL RESEARCH CONGRESS INNOVATION THROUGH RESEARCH TOWARDS SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION 2nd DLSU SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL RESEARCH CONGRESS Book of Abstracts 1 i 2nd DLSU SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL RESEARCH CONGRESS MESSAGE Br. Raymundo B. Suplido FSC De La Salle University President Esteemed faculty and fellow administrators, students, and all Lasallians present, welcome to the 2nd Senior High School Research Congress and a pleasant day to all of you. De La Salle University has endeavored to become a leading, learner-centered and research university as a resource for our Church and nation. This commitment has become ever more relevant amid the Fourth Industrial Revolution, as we strive to keep up with the growing technological innovations in various fields. As we speak, governments with the participation of private enterprises are looking to re-establish the exploration and exploitation of the Moon, even considering it a launching point to the colonization of Mars. While these technologies make our day-to-day living more convenient and comfortable, they also raise other issues and questions. The Internet-of-Things and the ubiquitous presence of sensors around us are making possible smart houses, cars and cities. But they also pose a threat to our personal privacy and freedom. Such developments, considered science fiction not too long ago, are now actually transforming our reality. Some implications of these inventions (e.g. gene manipulation or cloning) also pose a test to our values and moral principles. In the context of all these global changes, DLSU strives to engage young people in the challenging world of research. Dear young researchers: we encourage you, as early as now, to contribute to knowledge generation. The DLSU Senior High School Research Congress is your initial platform to present the fruits of your studies and investigations, and contribute to our University’s research culture. This year you center your Research Congress on the theme, "Innovation through Research towards Social Transformation". It is very much in keeping with our ideals and values as an institution. Our Founder, St. John Baptist de La Salle, introduced many innovations in education, transforming lives and the French society in the 18th century. Today, 21st century Lasallian education is transforming lives across the globe. May your spirit of creativity and innovation also bring about genuine change and spiritual upliftment of society. May this event be an opportunity to share knowledge, deepen our humanitarian commitments, celebrate creativity, and harness your passion and ingenuity. I hope your participation in this Congress will increase your “ANIMO” - to explore, create, and pioneer ideas, methodologies, and technologies guided by our Lasallian values and help redefine the way we move, build, and live. ANIMO LA SALLE! ii 2nd DLSU SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL RESEARCH CONGRESS 2nd DLSU SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL RESEARCH CONGRESS iii 2nd DLSU SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL RESEARCH CONGRESS THE 2ND DE LA SALLE UNIVERSITY SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL (DLSU SHS) RESEARCH CONGRESS The DLSU SHS Research Congress is an annual gathering of senior high school students as they bring together research-based ideas, concepts, products, and art performances & exhibitions, from their own capstone projects. It is a vision conceived by DLSU SHS’ commitment to making a dent in society by involving the students in knowledge creation. In line with the University’s vision-mission of bridging faith and scholarship, the Congress highlights the essential role of nurturing a culture of re- search through the production and dissemination of innovative knowledge for human development and social transformation. With the theme, “Convergence of Research Diversity,” the 1st DLSU SHS Research Congress fea- tured 58 paper and poster presentations, 15 business concepts, and five creative exhibits and perfor- mances out of more than three hundred submitted proposals. Despite the rigorous and highly selec- tive review of papers, the 1st DLSU SHS Research Congress was able to gather around 2 000 student researchers, teachers, and school administrators from 36 schools across the country to participate in the recognition and convergence of research diversity. Aside from research presentations, the event also included a plenary talk on the importance of research for Senior High School, strand-specific par- allel talks, and a teachers’ training session. The rise of Internet of Things, Virtual Reality, and Artificial Intelligence ushered in an era that revolutionized how men think and respond to their environment. Technological advancements have unveiled yet another stage in human history where conventional work is given to machines, and men participate in the information market. This year’s theme, “Innovation through Research towards So- cial Transformation,” is anchored on the behest of the current Fourth Industrial Revolution. Through this Congress, young researchers, scientists, artists, and entrepreneurs, converge ideas from different fields of discipline in responding to various issues, challenges, and changes that pervade the ethos, one of the most important factors in the era of digital technology and information. iv 2nd DLSU SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL RESEARCH CONGRESS THE CONGRESS EVENTS v 2nd DLSU SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL RESEARCH CONGRESS The Congress Events A.

Guzman1, Clyla A. Rafanan1, Peter Bryan Jose S. Sy1 and Angel Lou F. Yabut1 Mr. Terrence Esguerra2, Research Adviser 1 De La Salle University Integrated School (Manila) 2 Software Technology Department, College of Computer Studies, De La Salle University-Manila Abstract: Teaching history and its culture currently rely on heavy content information wherein students receive information from the educator. Consequently, this kind of teaching method lacks the learning within the context, leading to unmotivated students which discourages the growth of 21st century skills such as critical thinking and cultural awareness. Affective learning focuses on the emotional part of learning where learners exhibit an emotional response towards a topic that allows students to integrate the values learned during the learning experience. On the other hand, virtual reality (VR) is a known tool to motivate and be used for teaching or learning process. This research aims to use Virtual Reality (VR) 360, with the use of colors to aid students to be motivated and feel the environment or surroundings, as a tool to recreate the culture in the lifestyle of the Filipinos in Intramuros during the 19th Century. This study will examine the effects of Virtual Reality (VR) 360 in teaching Philippine culture during the 19th century to Grade 7 students. Through Krathwohl’s Affective Learning Taxonomy, the research aims to tackle how the students would respond once exposed to the simulated environment considering that it is of a different time. This would be achieved through the use of self-report questionnaires and interviews to gather data regarding the behavior and motivation of students in learning the culture of the historical scene with the intervention of VR 360 as learning material. In conclusion, the VR was able to motivate the students although some improvements were mentioned such as detail explanation, realistic art style, and dizziness while using VR.

  • THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

  • Andrographolides and Traditionally Used Andrographis Paniculata As Potential Adaptogens: Implications for Therapeutic Innovation
    Review Andrographolides and traditionally used Andrographis paniculata as potential adaptogens: Implications for therapeutic innovation Ajit Kumar Thakur1, Shyam Sunder Chatterjee2,§, Vikas Kumar1,* 1Neuropharmacology Research Laboratory, Department of Pharmaceutics, Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University), Varanasi-221 005, India 2Stettiner Straße 1, Karlsruhe, Germany ABSTRACT Andrographis paniculata (Burm. F.) Wall. Ex Nees (Family: Anthaceae) is a traditionally known Ayurvedic medicinal plant. Several well-controlled clinical trials conducted during recent years have consistently reconfirmed that Andrographis paniculata extracts are effective in suppressing cardinal symptoms of diverse inflammatory and infectious diseases. Despite extensive efforts though, many questions concerning bioactive constituents of such extracts and their modes of actions still remain unanswered. Amongst diverse diterpene lactones isolated to date from such extracts, andrographolide is often considered to be the major, representative, or bioactive secondary metabolite of the plant. Therefore, it has attracted considerable attention of several drug discovery laboratories as a lead molecule potentially useful for identifying structurally and functionally novel drug. Critical analysis of available preclinical and clinical information on Andrographis paniculata extracts and pure andrographolide strongly suggest that they are pharmacologically polyvalent and that they possess adaptogenic properties. Aim of this communication is to summarize and

  • Acanthaceae and Asteraceae Family Plants Used by Folk Medicinal Practitioners for Treatment of Malaria in Chittagong and Sylhet Divisions of Bangladesh
    146 American-Eurasian Journal of Sustainable Agriculture, 6(3): 146-152, 2012 ISSN 1995-0748 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Acanthaceae and Asteraceae family plants used by folk medicinal practitioners for treatment of malaria in Chittagong and Sylhet Divisions of Bangladesh Md. Tabibul Islam, Protiva Rani Das, Mohammad Humayun Kabir, Shakila Akter, Zubaida Khatun, Md. Megbahul Haque, Md.

Tabibul Islam, Protiva Rani Das, Mohammad Humayun Kabir, Shakila Akter, Zubaida Khatun, Md. Megbahul Haque, Md. Saiful Islam Roney, Rownak Jahan, Mohammed Rahmatullah: Acanthaceae and Asteraceae family plants used by folk medicinal practitioners for treatment of malaria in Chittagong and Sylhet Divisions of Bangladesh ABSTRACT Malaria is a debilitating disease causing high mortality rates among men and women if not treated properly. The disease is prevalent in many countries of the world with the most prevalence noted among the sub-Saharan countries, where it is in an epidemic form. The disease is classified as hypo-endemic in Bangladesh with the southeast and the northeastern regions of the country having the most malaria-affected people. The rural people suffer most from malaria, and they rely on folk medicinal practitioners for treatment, who administer various plant species for treatment of the disease as well as associated symptoms like pain and fever. Plant species have always formed the richest sources of anti-malarial drugs, the most notable being quinine and artemisinin. However, quinine has developed drug-resistant vectors and artemisinin is considered by some to developing initial resistance, particularly in China, where it has been used for thousands of years to combat malaria.

BMC Genomics (2020) 21:393 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-020-06798-2 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Barleria prionitis, comparative chloroplast genomics and phylogenetic relationships among Acanthoideae Dhafer A. Alzahrani1, Samaila S. Yaradua1,2*, Enas J. Albokhari1,3 and Abidina Abba1 Abstract Background: The plastome of medicinal and endangered species in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Barleria prionitis was sequenced. The plastome was compared with that of seven Acanthoideae species in order to describe the plastome, spot the microsatellite, assess the dissimilarities within the sampled plastomes and to infer their phylogenetic relationships. Results: The plastome of B. prionitis was 152,217 bp in length with Guanine-Cytosine and Adenine-Thymine content of 38.3 and 61.7% respectively. It is circular and quadripartite in structure and constitute of a large single copy (LSC, 83, 772 bp), small single copy (SSC, 17, 803 bp) and a pair of inverted repeat (IRa and IRb 25, 321 bp each). 131 genes were identified in the plastome out of which 113 are unique and 18 were repeated in IR region. The genome consists of 4 rRNA, 30 tRNA and 80 protein-coding genes. The analysis of long repeat showed all types of repeats were present in the plastome and palindromic has the highest frequency. A total number of 98 SSR were also identified of which mostly were mononucleotide Adenine-Thymine and are located at the non coding regions. Comparative genomic analysis among the plastomes revealed that the pair of the inverted repeat is more conserved than the single copy region.

    SARE, Vol. 58, Issue 1 | 2021 A Convergence of Filipino Worlds: An Onomastic Reading of Edgar Calabia Samar’s Janus Silang Novels Maria Rhodora G. Ancheta University of the Philippines-Diliman, Quezon City, the Philippines Abstract Edgar Calabia Samar’s Janus Silang book series is a significant body of contemporary young adult fantasy novels in the Philippines. Samar’s ambitious series that successfully melds alternate online tech -worlds, everyday Filipino life, and ancient supernatural, god-inhabited worlds, is worthy of study. In creating this fantasy world, the Janus Silang series underscores the richness of Filipino mythology and lore by cohesively layering these lived worlds by way of spatial and temporal play. This paper wishes to study the value of this “world(s)-building”, entering this by way of the study of onomastics, the study of proper names of all kinds and the origins of names. Using both toponomastics and anthroponomastics, or the study of place names and human naming, respectively, this inventive, powerful focus on naming solidifies the Janus Silang series’ development of unique Filipino characters and narratives and its reintroduction of the cultures of its imaginary worlds for young, contemporary Filipino and global readers. Keywords: Janus Silang, Filipino mythology, literary onomastics, anthroponyms, toponyms Edgar Calabia Samar’s Janus Silang book series is a significant body of contemporary young adult fantasy novels in the Philippines.
