The main difference between the economic method of projecting population growth and the "mathematical methods" (arithmetic, geometric formulae, etc.) is that
- The former takes into account movement of people while the latter only considers reproduction and deaths.
- The former forecasts varying rates of growth of local economic output and creates alternative scenarios.
- The latter does not consider force majeure or recurrent natural disasters.
- The latter is based upon the assumption of do nothing while the former ignores historic patterns.
Correct Answer

A. The former forecasts varying rates of growth of local economic output and creates alternative scenarios.

Explanation

The correct answer is that the main difference between the economic method of projecting population growth and the "mathematical methods" is that the former takes into account movement of people while the latter only considers reproduction and deaths. This means that the economic method considers factors such as migration and immigration, which can greatly impact population growth, while the mathematical methods focus solely on birth and death rates. This difference allows the economic method to provide a more comprehensive and realistic projection of population growth by incorporating a wider range of factors.

- Mothers with infants and young children are zoned of production as jobs in the CBD or in factory district are too far from home to enable women to successfully carry out both domestic duties and formal employment
Correct Answer

A. Mothers with infants and young children are zoned of production as jobs in the CBD or in factory district are too far from home to enable women to successfully carry out both domestic duties and formal employment

Explanation

The feminist perspective of Jane Jacobs, et al. criticizes conventional zoning because it results in mothers with infants and young children being unable to successfully balance their domestic duties and formal employment. This is because the jobs in the CBD or factory district are located too far from their homes, making it difficult for them to fulfill both responsibilities effectively. This perspective highlights the negative impact of zoning on women's ability to participate fully in both the workforce and their familial roles.

In RA 9397's amendment to expand socialized housing options of national local government under RA7279 UDHA, which common model/program is being remedied for its uneven effectiveness in addressing homelessness
- Transfer of homelot ownership in fee simple
- Public rental housing
- Usufruct or lease with option to purchase
- Timeshare arrangements and communal shelter
Correct Answer

A. Transfer of homelot ownership in fee simple

Explanation

The correct answer is "transfer of homelot ownership in fee simple". This model/program is being remedied for its uneven effectiveness in addressing homelessness because transferring ownership of homelots in fee simple may not be feasible or affordable for all individuals or families experiencing homelessness. This model assumes that individuals have the financial means to purchase and maintain a home, which may not be the case for those in need of socialized housing options. Therefore, alternative models/programs such as public rental housing, usufruct or lease with option to purchase, and timeshare arrangements and communal shelter may be more suitable and effective in addressing homelessness.

The second law of thermodynamics states that no man-made or natural process operates with 100% efficiency and therefore, waste is inherent in all nature, and waste will always be generated.
- Thermal Wasting
- Atrophy
- Entropy
- Dissipation
Correct Answer

A. Entropy

Explanation

The correct answer is entropy. The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy, which is a measure of the disorder or randomness in a system, always increases in an isolated system. This means that energy tends to spread out and become more evenly distributed, resulting in a decrease in usable energy and an increase in waste or inefficiency. Therefore, the concept of entropy aligns with the idea that waste is inherent in all natural and man-made processes.

Between census years 1990 and 2007, the lowest population growth rates per annum in Metro Manila occurred in .San Juan, -0.03%; City of Manila, 0.09%; Pasay, 0.22%; Makati, 0.3%; Mandaluyong, 0.53% (versus highest rate at 2.12% in Taguig City). Which of the following statements, all valid, most considers sustainable capacity and livability?
- These NCR areas have higher daytime population than nighttime population.
- These NCR areas are likely approaching their viable population limits.
- These NCR areas tend to physically decay with population density beyond a tolerable range.
- New or young families in these NCR areas are likely to settle somewhere else.
Correct Answer

A. These NCR areas are likely approaching their viable population limits.

Explanation

The statement "These NCR areas are likely approaching their viable population limits" is the most relevant to sustainable capacity and livability. This is because the question mentions the lowest population growth rates in these areas, suggesting that the population is not increasing rapidly. Approaching viable population limits indicates that the areas may not be able to support a larger population without compromising livability and sustainability. This implies that the current population is already putting a strain on resources and infrastructure, making it necessary to consider sustainable population growth and development in these areas.

In a non-parametric test of correlation to,determine if amount of fertilizer has a􀂐nything to do with quantity of farm yield, the following crops were computed to have their respective difference of ranks square(d2): rice 1; com = 0; wheat = 0; beans = 0; mongo = 1. Given 'Spearman rho' formula "r=6Ed2/ n(n2-1)" what would be the 'r' value?
- 1.1
- 1.2
- 0.9
- 0.2
Correct Answer

A. 0.9

Explanation

The formula given is used to calculate the Spearman correlation coefficient (r) in a non-parametric test of correlation. The numerator of the formula is 6E times the sum of the squared differences of ranks (d2) for the given crops, and the denominator is n times (n^2 - 1), where n is the number of observations. Plugging in the values given, the numerator would be 6E(1 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 1) = 12E, and the denominator would be 5(5^2 - 1) = 5(24) = 120. Therefore, r = 12E/120 = 0.1.

- Alternative modes of access to squatter areas by water through rivers, canals, and coasts
- Ease of disposal of solid wastes and liquid wastes into esteros, creeks, and ditches.
- Coddling by traditional patronage politicians because of voting power of large concentrations of urban poor
Correct Answer

A. Kinship-based, ethnic-related personal networks serving as safety nets that provide social solidarity and reciprocity

Explanation

The reason that is socio-cultural in nature and serves to compensate for the lack of livelihood and employment opportunities in cities is kinship-based, ethnic-related personal networks serving as safety nets that provide social solidarity and reciprocity. This means that the urban poor living in slum colonies and shantytowns rely on their familial and ethnic connections to support each other and provide assistance in times of need. These networks help to create a sense of community and provide a support system for individuals who may not have access to formal employment or other sources of income.
