Abstract: The purpose of this study was to provide a product that targets the issue brought by the usage of plastic and paper bags, using Coconut (Cocos Nucifera) Husk and Papain to produce a waterproof paper bag. The study has three problems that the researchers focused on answering, problems such as knowing the performance level of the product using water resistance and load strength test. Identifying what kind of characteristics the product meets based on a standard paper bag’s characteristics like color, stiffness, and texture, and lastly, identifying which formulation of the paper bag will perform the best on the waterproof and durability test. This study uses an experimental research design because it allows for direct observation and manipulation of the variables. The researchers use a checklist and questionnaire to gather the needed data. The results show that the paper bag made from Coconut (Cocos Nucifera) husk and Papain are capable of holding products from 0.5 kilograms up to 2 kilograms but don’t succeed to achieved waterproofness ability, rather it is water-resistant because even though there is water that penetrates the outside of the paper bag, it can resist the penetration inside leaving it dry.

Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the potential of corn husk as insulation foam for common residential roofs. The researchers conducted the research to explore the possibility of using corn husk fiber as a material to create insulation foam for common residential roofs. The specific objectives of the research may have included evaluating the feasibility, performance, and potential benefits of corn husk insulation foam as a material. The researchers may have been motivated by factors such as the need for sustainable and eco-friendly insulation options, the abundance of corn husk waste as a potential resource, and the desire to contribute to the development of innovative and efficient roofing insulation solutions. The research seeks to determine the performance, response, and appropriate ratios necessary to determine the potential of corn husk insulation foam. This study assessed the performance of the corn husk insulation foam through thermal and flammability tests to determine whether the insulation foam has the ability to resist heat transfer coming from direct sunlight. On the other hand, the flammability test exposes the foam to a flame or high temperature and assesses its resistance to catching fire. This study also evaluates the best proportion of Corn husk with polyurethane foam to create an ecofriendly insulation foam. The researchers collected data primarily through a checklist and questionnaire, by utilizing these data collection methods, the researchers aimed to obtain structured and quantitative data that could be analyzed and interpreted to draw meaningful conclusions related to the topic and objectives of this study. The researchers processed the corn husk into an insulation foam by mixing the variable with Polyurethane Liquid Foam and molding it with a DIY molder. This study concluded that corn husk insulation foam may be viable to use as an insulation since it exhibits similarities to other insulation. Overall, this study highlights the potential of Corn Husk as an Insulation Foam for Common Residential House Roof and the importance of finding sustainable solutions to reduce thermal problems.

Abstract: This research has studied the effects of different silica amounts on the growth rates (leaf length, bulb size, and the number of leaves) of red creole onions (Allium cepa L.) under a closedhydroponic system, Kratky Method, due to its practicality. The experimental research design was adapted with observation as the primary research instrument. Consequently, the experiment lasted for 30 days in an uncontrolled environment; thus, the pH levels and weather temperature are recorded which showed that the onions persisted unideal growing environment. The collected data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA to identify statistically significant differences between the different silica amounts. The graphs, means, and statistics of the data allowed this study to identify and conclude that an amount of 1 ml/L of silica in a nutrient solution is the most suitable for red creole onion hydroponics. The growth rates of onions were consistently observed best in the hydroponics with 1 ml/L of silica.

Abstract: The main objective of this study entitled “Comparative Study of Commercial Hairspray and SOE Hairspray for Human Hair” was to determine the difference between SOE hairspray and commercial hairspray. As a result, the approach used in this study was comparative and an experimental method as the researchers have assessed two different variables which are the SOE hairspray and commercial hairspray. The SOE hairspray contains sampaguita oil extract which has its natural fragrance and many other advantages to the human hair compared to the commercial hairspray which is often used by the consumers. The SOE hairspray was made by the researchers and was sprayed on straight human hair extensions. Furthermore, the researchers used drying time test, initial hold test, litmus paper test, and spreadability test to measure the performance of the two variables. Subsequently, all data from the questionnaire were statistically analyzed using weighted mean, frequency, standard deviation, standard error, and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results showed based on the physical characteristics of hairspray, the SOE hairspray was more flexible and luster than the commercial hairspray. While in terms of lubricity, both hairsprays showed the same level of lubricity. On the other hand, performance-wise, SOE hairspray wasn’t able to pass the drying time test on petri dish, longer drying time on human hair, shorter initial hold, and low spreadability than commercial hairspray due to shellac's strong intermolecular force, but showed better pH.

Abstract: This study was focused on determining the utilization of Gyrotorhidrikoz and what factors would impact its ability to charge a power bank. The Gyrotorhidrikoz can charge a power bank, but needs to be improved in terms of stability and duration because the Gyrotorhidrikoz can't charge the power bank constantly. On the other hand, the model's safety and quality test results were satisfactory, indicating that it is safe to use and that the Gyrotorhidrikoz can generate enough electricity to charge the power bank. The model works well with a 28-liter water, in which the Gyrotohidrikoz can produce 24.8V with a flow rate of 1L/7.5s and a transfer rate of 4.98V to the power bank. In conclusion, the Gyrotorhidrikoz model can be used to charge a portable power bank for energy storage purposes; however, it requires 28 liters of water with a flow rate of 1 L/7.5 s in order to generate enough electricity but needs more improvement because the power bank doesn't charge continuously.

Abstract: Due to the widespread usage of facemasks in recent years, particularly in light of the pandemic, the researchers sought to develop a practical solution that would be advantageous to both people and the community. The researchers came up with the idea to make a cloth face mask using a water-soluble fabric that will help lessen the waste and make the cloth face mask easily disposable. This cloth face mask would be disposable and for non-medical use only. In light of this, the researchers decided to carry out this investigation to determine whether it was feasible and efficient to make a cloth face mask out of a water-soluble fabric material.
