Acceptability.
Twinkle twinkle sentence starred...
Society
Society changes every day, things that weren’t considered acceptable 15 years ago are now, for instance equal rights as well as gay marriage but to what extent will this social change occur? Deviation from the social norms of society is essential for the progression of humanity and a part of our own identity, but what is classified as too much? What makes you think that something isn’t right? who knows what you will think about the exact same issue in the future? This all comes down to perspective and opinion but what really is scary is how much you can be unintentionally influenced by the society and people you have around you. So, the question you must ask yourself is how much of your identity is actually your own?
The COVID19 pandemic has challenged universities and organizations to devise mechanisms to uplift the well-being and welfare of people and communities. In response, the design and development of an integrated package of technologies, MangngalApp- A web-based portal and mobile responsive application for rural development served as an opportunity. It showcases different packets of technologies that were outputs of R&D in the field of fisheries and aqua-culture, innovations that were IP-protected, and technologies that harness locally available resources for post-harvest development and aiding in sustaining growth and development in the communities. This paper focused on the usability and acceptability of the MangngalApp implementing a descriptive research design using the Technology Acceptance Model or TAM and ISO 25010 software quality standards. Constrained by government health restrictions due to COVID- 19, a Google form-based questionnaire was forwarded to consented participants via an email with the attached consent and evaluation form. Results revealed that the MangngalApp was found to be very acceptable and usable, and compliant to ISO 25010 software quality characteristics to the higher extent. From the results, it is concluded that the developed MangngalApp will be a usable and responsive technology that aids to rural development especially among target users- fishers, gatherers, processors, traders, and farmers. Considering compatibility and usefulness, the MangngalApp is expected to provide greater social development in the community.
This study assessed the user acceptability and level of usability of the Aparri Townsmen Online Portal (ATOP)- a locally developed digital platform designed to enhance public access and the delivery of key information services in the Municipality of Aparri, Cagayan. Despite increasing adoption of e-governance systems, many local government portals still face challenges related to usability, reliability, and sustained user engagement. This study addressed this gap by systematically evaluating the ATOP’s performance using the System Usability Scale (SUS) and the ISO 25010 software quality framework to determine user perceptions across usability constructs, including reliability, security, maintainability, and portability. A mixed-methods design was employed involving purposively selected participants who utilized the portal’s core services. Quantitative data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, while qualitative feedback was thematically coded to identify best features and areas needing improvement. Results revealed a composite SUS score of 75.17, corresponding to a “Good” usability rating (Grade B), and strong agreement in usability constructs, particularly portability (mean=3.98) and usability (mean=4.22). However, lower mean ratings were observed for maintainability (mean=3.20) and reliability (mean=3.73), indicating areas requiring enhancement. Qualitative insights highlighted system accessibility, clarity, and responsiveness as key strengths, while users recommended faster loading times, improved design aesthetics, and broader service coverage. In conclusion, the ATOP demonstrated high usability and user acceptability but requires optimization in performance efficiency and technical stability. It is recommended that the system undergo continuous usability testing, periodic maintenance updates, and interface redesign guided by user feedback and ISO 25010 principles to ensure sustained adoption and improved digital service delivery.
Fallacies: A Comprehensive Exploration of Deceptive and Defective Arguments
Sensory evaluation or analysis is an invaluable tool in determining the consumers’ acceptability of a product developed and eventually its market success. This is a sequel test after the chemical analysis and microbiological procedures have been conducted. The study determined the level of acceptability of the by-product of Talisay (Terminalia catappa) nuts specifically; Talisay Nuts Polvoron, Glazed Talisay Nuts, and Sugar-coated Talisay Nuts using sensory evaluation as to appearance, taste, aroma, sweetness, and texture. The responses of the food inclined participants are described yielding from the Hedonic Tests conducted and statistically treated. Results concluded that the developed products are remarkably acceptable and marketable.
