Dia Noelle F. Velasco,Jeanette Angeline B. Madamba,Loida E. Mojica,Jimmy B. Williams The International Academy of Global Business and T 2016 The International Academy of Global Business and T Vol.12 No.1
Baguio City and the municipality of La Trinidad are the centers of coffee trading in Benguet and the Cordillera Region in the Philippines. The study examines the coffee supply chain network in both places while providing an overview of the global, national, and local coffee industry, explaining the relationships among the players in the supply chain network at the disaggregate level, determining the issues, weaknesses, and gaps, and offering recommendations for each supply chain and the entire network. Methodologies employed were key informant interviews of farmers, traders and coffee shop operators, visual observations and secondary data gathering, and descriptive analysis. Findings reveal that Benguet coffee supply chains have a complex and complicated networks of chain participants, interactions, and relationships. Seven supply chains which comprise the whole supply chain network in the area were identified with varying degrees of relational ties. Recommended interventions include developing road networks in the area, providing good quality planting materials, and utilizing financing products or schemes that are friendly to chain participants. Some investment entry points at the network level are the establishment of a coffee institute or center and coffee processing and/or warehousing or storage facilities.

Study Design: Researchers created a proper type II dens fracture (DF) and quantified a novel current posterior fixation technique with spacers at C1–C2. A clinical case study supplements this biomechanical analysis. Purpose: Researchers explored their hypothesis that spacers combined with posterior instrumentation (PI) reduce range of motion significantly, possibly leading to better fusion outcomes. Overview of Literature: Literature shows that the atlantoaxial joint is unique in allowing segmental rotary motion, enabling head turning. With no intervertebral discs at these joints, multiple ligaments bind the axis to the skull base and to the atlas; an intact odontoid (dens) enhances stability. The most common traumatic injury at these strong ligaments is a type II odontoid fracture. Methods: Each of seven specimens (C0–C3) was tested on a custom-built six-degrees-of-freedom spine simulator with constructs of intact state, type II DF, C1–C2 PI, PI with joint capsulotomy (PIJC), PI with spacers (PIS) at C1–C2, and spacers alone (SA). A bending moment of 2.0 Nm (1.5°/sec) was applied in flexion-extension (FE), lateral bending (LB), and axial rotation (AR). One-way analysis of variance with repeated measures was performed. Results: DF increased motion to 320%, 429%, and 120% versus intact (FE, LB, and AR, respectively). PI significantly reduced motion to 41%, 21%, and 8%. PIJC showed negligible changes from PI. PIS reduced motion to 16%, 14%, and 3%. SA decreased motion to 64%, 24%, and 54%. Reduced motion facilitated solid fusion in an 89-year-old female patient within 1 year. Conclusions: Type II odontoid fractures can lead to acute or chronic instability. Current fixation techniques use C1–C2 PI or an anterior dens screw. Addition of spacers alongside PI led to increased biomechanical rigidity over intact motion and may offer an alternative to established surgical fixation techniques.
Halal Broiler Processing: The Case of Bounty Agro-Ventures Inc. and the Vitarich Corporation

The study aimed to present an overview of the implementation of Halal practices in the broiler operation of Bounty Agro Ventures, Inc. (BAVI) and the VITARICH Corporation (VITARICH) in Davao City. Furthermore, it was conducted to increase the awareness of consumers, producers, processors and distributors on the concept of Halal and its benefits when applied in the broiler industry. This paper used descriptive research design with a series of key informant interviews conducted with the personnel from BAVI and VITARICH on their Halal broiler production and processing practices. The results showed that the broiler processing operations of the two integrators are Halal-certified by Islamic Dawa’h Council of the Philippines (IDCP) and Mindanao Halal Authority (MINHA), and are following the Halal practices specified by the Halal certifiers. However, the broiler production operations of BAVI and VITARICH are not certified Halal but, to maintain Halal integrity of the broilers, they do not feed the animals porcine meals or feeds with pork ingredients. The lack of a unified Halal certifying body and Halal practices, and the questionable Halal credibility of broiler chicken pose the biggest concern for the Halal broiler processing industry. The limited availability, higher price and possible sources of contamination of Halal feeds were critical issues for the industry along with the limited infrastructure/facilities for Halal broiler slaughtering. It was recommended that a unification of Halal certifying organizations and standards and proper support infrastructure be established and made a priority.

This paper determined the awareness of the respondents, namely the commercial swine farm raisers in Ibaan and Lipa City, Batangas, to GAHP and the certification process. Furthermore, the study assessed the compliance of the farms according to the GAHP standards. In presenting and assessing the various farm operations, frequency percentages and descriptive analysis were used. The results showed that majority of the respondents had were unaware of the concept of GAHP. Furthermore, all were not aware of the GAHP certification process. In assessing the compliance of the farms, it was observed that farms are generally adopting GAHP but were unaware. Constraints to compliance and certification determined were the lack of awareness, noncompulsory certification, compliance to documents, confidentiality and cost. Drivers for better GAHP compliance and certification included were the government, market, and the companies engaged in contract growing. Recommendations were to conduct more information disseminations, stricter government enforcements, and improved branding for consumers to improve the GAHP situation in the country.

이 연구의 목적은 태권도 돌려차기 시 기술 수준에 따른 몸통, 골반, 지지 다리의 운동학적 변인을 비교 분석하는 데 있다. 본 연구를 위해 블랙 벨트 소지자로서 기술 수준에 따라 중급자10명, 상급자 9명이 실험에 참여하였다. 3차원 동작 분석 시스템을 사용하여 골반, 몸통, 지지다리의 방향각을 산출하였다. Start, Toeoff, MKF, Max, Impact, Min에서 그룹 간의 평균 방향각을 비교하기 위하여 독립표본 t-검정을 하였다. MKF, Impact, Min에서 골반의 좌측 기울어짐 각도가 그룹 간의 유의한 차이가 나타났다. Start와 Max에서 지지 다리의 엉덩관절 굴곡 각도와 MKF에서 지지 다리의 엉덩관절 외전 각도 사이에 유의한 차이가 있었다. 이상의 결과를 볼 때, 상급자들은 푸쉬단계에서 엉덩관절의 굴곡 각도가 증가 되었고, MKF에서는 외전 각도가 감소하였다. 또한, 스트라이크 단계에서 골반의 좌측 기울어짐 각도는 감소하였다. The study purpose was to investigate skill level differences on trunk, pelvis, and supporting leg kinematics in a Taekwondo roundhouse kick. 10 intermediate and nine expert male black-belt holders executed roundhouse kicks at a target. Orientation angles of the pelvis, trunk, and supporting -thigh, -shank, and -foot were obtained through a three-dimensional video motion analysis. Orientation angles at Start, Toeoff, Maximum Knee Flexion(MKF), Impact, Maximum angle(Max), and Minimum angle(Min) were compared between groups using independent t-tests(p<.05). Significant differences between groups were found in the pelvis left lateral tilted position at MKF, Impact, and Min; significant differences were also found in the supporting hip joint flexed position at Start and Max, and abducted position at MKF. It was concluded that higher performers increased the hip joint flexion angle in the Push phase, decreased abduction angle at MKF, and decreased the pelvis left tilted angle in the Strike phase.
