Abstract:  Natural hazards are repeated in Madikeri since 2018 that take place during monsoon and damage crops, livestock and settlements. Data on flood, drought, cyclone and waterlogging were collected. Heavy rainfall not only cause floods and debris flows, but also trigger off landslides on steep slopes. The danger due to these slope instabilities is considerably high, as they often evolve into debris flow that may damage cultivated land, buildings and infrastructures, and even cause fatalities. This paper discusses certain technical aspects of the landslides at various locations of kodagu district that triggered off by heavy rainfall in the season of July - August 2018. This article concentrates on the documentation and analysis of rainfall events, with a focus on evaluating the effects of urbanization on landslides. It summarizes the results of one landslide inventories after severe rainstorms in Kodagu during the previous month (August 2018), concentrating on the observations during field surveys and similarities between forest and open land.

Keywords: flood, drought, cyclone, heavy rainfall, landslides.

Abstract: Coco sugar has been known for its many medicinal or pharmaceutical benefits, as it is used in controlling diabetes and obesity. Consumers’ buying behavior on coco sugar had to be established to guide farmers, producers and entrepreneurs. Descriptive research was employed through interview of 390 respondents. Data were analyzed using mean and percentage. Results revealed that the consumers were less aware on the information, health benefits, and utilization of coco sugar because majority had no source of information about the product  They showed moderate willingness to consume coco sugar due to its high price. However, majority were willing to pay at P250 per kilogram, packed in smaller quantity to make it more affordable. Majority of the consumers intend to utilize coco sugar as sweetener for beverages, though at present they are non-consumers.  The product needs intensive promotion to be known to consumers and gain market share.

Keywords: coco sugar, consumer buying behaviour.

Abstract:  The author initiated a multidisciplinary healthcare education and wellness-awareness program for an under-served population consisting of grandparents who become the primary caregivers of their grandchildren (or great-grandchildren) due to a dysfunctional family constellation.  The Program was called the “GRG” Program. The program consisted of 50 weekly educational workshops for the grandparents with free childcare included.  Six workshops included the grandchildren whose grandparents were participating in this program. A team of following professionals provided workshops to the participants: a social worker (the author/program director), a geriatrician, a social media and computer technology professional, a pediatrician, and a geriatric group coordinator.  Evaluations conducted at the end of the program indicated that the participants reported lower stress levels and greater coping skills.

Keywords: Grandparents, grandchildren, stress, dysfunctional families, abused children.

Abstract: India is a known powerhouse of software. Its share in global IT services outsourcing is 56 percent and growing every year. But the availability of electronic government services to citizens is still comparatively low. The National e-Governance Plan approved in 2006, made steady progress but it has been slow and greater thrust was required. In this background, Digital India was launched by the Prime Minister on 1^st July 2015 with an aim to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. The program would go a long way in wiping out the digital divide besides offering a slew of digital solutions in almost all sectors to help in sustainable development including education, health, agriculture, and administration.

The processes of social integration, disintegration, and reintegration work themselves out through a wide range of organizations and other structured arrangements or "institutions" from the international level to that of the family. These institutions embody apart from traditions, rules using science and technology extensively for the social integration process. An equally wide range of social actors tries to make use of these institutions for purposes of self-protection and advancement, and for stabilization, reform, or transformation of the system. This paper is a conceptual attempt to explore the roles of technology in social integration which has increasingly connected people at the national level, global level, in particular, the changing the whole structure of every society as well and leverage the underlying potential to achieve global leadership status.

This paper also examines the literature on how integrating science and technology can promote development. We adopt the framework in World Bank (2016).⁸ which identifies the mechanisms through which the developmental process unfolds namely innovation, inclusion, and sustainable development. The subsequent sections argue that these mechanisms have been integral to inclusive development by using science, technology and innovation to promote development through these mechanisms.

Keywords: Digital technologies, innovation, Inclusion, sustainable development.

Abstract: The study utilized descriptive - correlative research which aimed to determine the effectiveness of Storytelling in improving Mathematics performance and self - efficacy level of Grade 7 students in Roberto E. Sato Memorial National High School, Calidngan, Carcar City, Cebu, Philippines. A quasi - experimental research method was utilized using pretest - posttest control and experimental group design. Findings revealed that storytelling and conventional way of teaching has improved the performance of the two groups. However, storytelling has higher level of self - efficacy. Moreover, there was a positive correlation between the student’s academic achievement and level of self - efficacy. This means that higher self - efficacy contributes to greater achievement of the students. Among the difficulties encountered by the students exposed to storytelling were English language barrier, unlocking of difficult words, complexity of the topic itself and some exercises in the book. The challenges met by the teacher - researcher while conducting this study were difficulty of the students in understanding the story, short attention span of the students, long preparation of stories and instructional materials and student’s involvement was limited depending on the kind of story. Using storytelling in teaching Mathematics enhances the academic performance and level of self - efficacy of the students. Teachers teaching Geometry need to find relevant materials containing short stories or narratives.

Keywords: storytelling, academic performance, self - efficacy, geometry.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the ability of in vitro propagation of Punica granatum L. through tissue culture system. The experimental design that was used in this research is Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Cultures were stored at a temperature of 25 ± 1ºC and light 16 hours of light, 8 hours dark. All data was recorded and analyzed using ANNOVA. Leaf explants were found to be very responsive when cultured on MS medium supplemented with plant growth regulators at concentration of 2.0 mg/L Benzylaminopurine (BAP) + 1.5 mg/L Napthalene Acetic Acid (NAA) and has been identified as the optimum medium for shoot regeneration. Leaf explant produced 1.33±0.32 shoots per explant at week 8. Whereas from stem explant, Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium added with 0.5 mg/L BAP and 2.0 mg/L NAA gave the highest shoot development with 1.00 ± 0.28 shoots per explant Various combinations of auxin such as NAA and cytokinin such as BAP, at 1.5 mg/L was used for a complete regeneration of Punica granatum L. in vitro. In conclusion, in vitro micropropagation technique is a suitable alternative in producing new generation of Punica granatum L. and its features are preserved. It proves that  plant tissue culture technology could be an alternative solution to achieve high quality of Punica granatum L., therefore could increase the crop production.
