Abstract
Advances in computing and the availability of massive health data are opening up new possibilities for the generation of helpful decision-support tools. Forecasting the incidence of medical cases, which is one of the first steps in institutional planning, plays an important role in planning health control strategies in order to develop intervention programs and allocate resources. This study focused on medical cases forecasting for the development of resource allocation recommender system. Data cleaning was performed in the historical data of medical cases from Mabalacat City Health Office in order to detect and removing corrupt and inaccurate records. The forecasting models used are Seasonal Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (S-ARIMA) and Exponential Smoothing (ES). Factor values of twelve (12) for monthly seasonality and four (4) for quarterly seasonality were used for the S-ARIMA models. The alpha values used in ES are 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9. The computed Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) and the Mean Absolute Percent Error (MAPE) results of S-ARIMA and ES were compared and the forecasting model with the better accuracy was used for a particular medical case forecast value. The use of the mentioned forecasting algorithms and accuracy tests were embedded in the development of an online information system with resource allocation recommender for Mabalacat City health units.

Abstract
Organizations are challenged to achieve effective and competent results, rising to imminent importance of measuring the performance efficiency. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is an approach that measures performance efficiency of organizations. It is a non-parametric method, which uses linear programming to calculate efficiency in a given set of decision-making units (DMUs). It has widespread application in identifying efficiency and discovering benchmark. In the study, it utilized DEA in identifying School-Based Management (SBM) performance efficiency of one (1) division comprising of elementary and secondary schools - under Department of Education (DepEd) in the Philippines. Efficient schools were used as benchmark for improvement of inefficient schools. The schools had also undergone clustering, which is the process of grouping in accordance to similar characteristics. K-Means clustering algorithm was used to group the schools according to their respective profile. K-Means clustering is a simple unsupervised learning algorithm that follows a simple procedure of classifying a given data set into a number of clusters. The study also encompasses the development of an application system that utilizes data from DEA and K-Means clustering algorithm. The application system also provided recommendations to help inefficient schools improve.

Abstract
In theory of computation, a deterministic finite automaton (DFA) is a finite state machine that accepts/rejects finite strings of symbols and only produces a unique computation. This study aims to convert the extracted decision tree rules sets from decision tree algorithm and the learning path sequence of the learning management system. This paper converts decision tree and learning management system rules into deterministic finite automaton. The decision tree rule sets are rule sets used to predict the vulnerability of not having graduation on time. The learning management system rules are the backbones of the learning management system in order to provide individualized learning scheme tailored to the preferences of the learners. The conversion of decision tree rules of student graduation and adaptive learning environment lead to easier interpretation and visualization of the methods and processes involved.

Abstract
The combination of multimedia technology and Internet provides an amiss channel for pornographic contents accessible by certain sensitive groups of people. Furthermore, the same channel provides the easiest medium to distribute illicit images and videos without an autonomous content supervision process. In this study, an application was developed grounded from a pixel-based approach and a skin tone detection filter to identify images and videos with a large skin color count and considered as pornographic in nature. With nudity detection algorithm as the foundation of the system, all multimedia files were preprocessed, segmented, and filtered to analyze skin-colored pixels by processing in YCbCr space and then classifying it as skin or non-skin pixels. Afterwards, the percentage of skin pixels relative to the size of the frames is calculated to be part of the mean baseline for nudity and non-nudity materials. Lastly, the application classifies the files as nude or not, and then filter it. The application was evaluated by supplying a dataset of 1,239 multimedia files (Images = 986; Videos = 253) collected from the Web. On the final testing set, the application obtained a precision of 90.33% and accuracy of 80.23% using the supplied dataset.

Abstract
A design of a secondary power supply using Proportional-Integrative-Derivative (PID) controller has been implemented for better compensation, response and output in comparison with a conventional control strategy of a switch mode converter. A boost converter for an automobile battery as a power source with adaptive control has been introduced in the design. The offsetting and joggling of a 3D printer is manifested as electronic load during the testing. An analysis about the modes of controlling a switch mode power supply (SMPS) has been made using: (1) MATLAB for simulation of graphical presentation of the method and for analysis of transient response of the design and (2) NI Multisim for simulation of SMPS circuit including PID control and conventional SMPS circuit with a fundamental compensation circuit. The two approaches are compared in this paper. The simulations have shown that PID compensates for error in output response and decreases the response time of the converter circuit. Overall the entire design scheme is successfully verified through simulations and by prototyping that shown improvement on dynamic performance (response and efficiency) as compared with the conventional scheme. With the use of adaptive controller, the performance of the boost converter has improved mainly with reduced its response time (3.64ms settling time and 467μs peak time) ensuring its effectiveness in adapting to changes in the power demanded by the load.

Abstract
Predicting the compressive strength of self-compacting concrete (SCC) is one of the complicated tasks because of its complex behavior due to the reaction of chemical and mineral content and the hydration process of cement. The distinct difference of SCC to normal concrete is its improved workability or also known as rheology that is divided into four categories namely viscosity, flow ability, passing ability, and resistance to segregation. It was proposed in this study to include the rheological behavior of SCC to the prediction of its compressive strength. Neural network was utilized for predicting the 28th day compressive strength of SCC. A 97.78% prediction rate was achieved using a feed-forward back-propagation ANN with 1 hidden layer and 8 hidden nodes. Tansig transfer function was used as activation function. The model has a Pearson R value of 0.991 and mean square error (MSE) of 3.42.

Abstract
One of the predominant cause of the diminishing productivity of the Philippines that affects its residents and industry sectors alike is no other than the unresolved traffic. Numerous efforts have been implemented in the country to regulate traffic including road expansion, highway development and application of several traffic schemes. One of the research thrust being studied is the solution to the limitation of traditional traffic light systems. Existing literatures in traffic light system embarked on intelligent transportation system (ITS) that is typically based its operation on real-time traffic density data, however implemented in limited control. This paper discussed an approach in developing traffic signaling system capable of prioritizing congested lanes based on real-time traffic density data and integrated with an automated and manual control ported in a mobile android-based application. The system worked with CCTV cameras positioned at every lane of the intersection for the acquisition of traffic images transmitted to the Raspberry Pi 3 microcontroller for traffic density calculation using image processing. It utilized a traffic monitoring system and traffic lights operation control via a mobile android-based application. The system was tested and yielded an average of 92.83% and 85.77% vehicle detection rate for daytime and nighttime respectively. Moreover, an overall system reliability of 92.82% and 85.77% were obtained during daytime and nighttime testing based on the android GUI, lane prioritization and traffic light response. Future work involved integrating the Internet of Things (IoT) on the traffic light system for a wider scope interconnected implementation.
