Item Household utilities monitoring system using geofence technology with data analyticsSuizo, Clyde Andrie G. (Davao del Sur State College, 2024-06)This study was conducted to determine that combining geofence technology into household monitoring systems was an approach to improving utility management and monitoring more efficiently and effectively. While the previously mentioned changes had already been integrated into systems used to monitor household utilities, it was clear that there was a lack of monitoring systems that utilized geofence technology. Such methods were more useful among locals in Don Lorenzo Homes Subdivision, Tres de Mayo, Digos City. As a solution, the monitoring system created in this study achieved the following functions; (1) used a motion sensor as the geofence to cover the entrances and exits of the household with an effective range of 250cm and an effective angle between 60 and 120 degrees, (2) used light and gas sensors integrated into household utilities to gather real-time information with an effective range of 60cm and 20cm respectively, (3) visualized data with the help of bar and line graphs using graphical analytics techniques to display the collected data. Through pilot testing and evaluation, the system gained a 4.2 weighted mean with a remark of GOOD, which demonstrated that employing geofencing techniques increases the efficiency of the homeowner's household utility management. The capstone project stood to make significant contributions to the research field by combining geofence technology and sensors to enhance household utility management. The anticipated benefits in terms of energy efficiency, cost savings, and household utilities management highlighted the project's potential to influence both academic research and practical applications in the smart home domain. The research outcomes could serve as a foundation for further studies, leading to the development of more sophisticated systems and inspiring new approaches to energy efficiency, sustainability, and management.Item Web-based agri-fisheries e-commerce market systemSentillas, Angelito Jr. (Davao del Sur State College, 2024-06)This study delves into the conceptualization, development, and implementation of such systems, exploring their potential to connect farmers, fishermen, and consumers directly which addresses the ease of product marketing using the system with map integration.

Rachel Anne N. (Davao del Sur State College, 2024-05)The study was designed to produce a fiber-based biofoam cup from different mixtures of sugarcane bagasse and cassava starch, an alternative to styrofoam cups as plant containers in a hydroponics set-up. The study was carried out with 3 treatments replicated thrice. The mixture was added with a constant amount of polyvinyl alcohol, glycerol and magnesium stearate by weight basis, and then coated with paraffin wax. The data for density, water absorption, solubility as well as the performance of the biocups in terms of plant growth (no. of leaves), plant mortality and pH level when used as plant containers in Kratky method were gathered through a completely randomized design and analyzed using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test at 1% and 5% levels. Only the treatment yielding the best results in terms of quality were evaluated for hydroponic application. Statically, the results indicate that the density and water absorption of the cups from the three treatments significantly varied with a P-value of 0.0055 and 0.0127 respectively. However, no significant difference was observed for the solubility of the biocups among the treatment with a P- value of 0.0827. Based on the results, treatment 3 exhibited the highest density and lowest values for solubility and water absorption among the treatments and was selected with the commercially available styrofoam cups as plant containers in Kratky method hydroponics set-up. For the duration of the observation period, all petchay plants survived resulting in a mortality rate of 0%. Furthermore, there was a significant difference in the number of leaves, as indicated by the P-value of 0.0059 while pH level was found to be lower (6.38) for treatment 3 than the control (6.40). The results suggest that biofoam cups are not best to be used as plant container in hydroponics, but due to its higher density, low water absorption and solubility it implies potential suitability for other planting materials, such as for seedlings.Item Water consumption and growth of spring onion (Allium fistulusom L.) under different nutrient solution depths in kratky hydroponics under shaded conditionsDabalos, Marc Jay P.
