UNACOMODELI

UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines (UNACOM) Online and Digital Enabling Library and Index

The UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines (UNACOM) Online and Digital Enabling Library and Index (UNACOMODELI) aims to support UNESCO’s core mission of building peace in the minds of the people through education, science, culture, and communication.

The UNACOM Online and Digital Enabling Library and Index is developed to advance the mutual knowledge and understanding, and encourage cooperation among the nations in all branches of intellectual activity, such as the exchange of publications, objects of artistic and scientific interest, and other information materials. UNACOMODELI will serve as UNACOM’s institutional memory and a source of high-quality information on UNACOM's intellectual activities (in education, natural sciences, social and human sciences, culture, and communication and information). The ultimate goal is to share knowledge and to transmit it to future generations.

Particularly, it aims to:

  • Provide online access to UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines (UNACOM) publications, documents, and other materials.
  • Index and promote UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines (UNACOM)-sponsored and -collaborative publications, and national committee members' and partner agencies’ publications, reports, policies, laws, legislations, articles, and other materials.
  • Gather and index materials in the country that support the UN Sustainable Development Goals, address the Ocean Decade challenges, and build capacity in the identification, inventorying, and safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage.

The UNACOMODELI collections include UNESCO and UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines (UNACOM) publications, speeches, press releases, capacity building materials, UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines (UNACOM)-sponsored publications, and other publications of interest to UNESCO.

Advances in cultivation technology of commercial eucheumatoid species: A review with suggestions for future research
Ask, Erick I.; Azanza, Rhodora V. (Elsevier BV, 2002-04)
An “advance” is defined as any technology that leads to an increase in production of Kappaphycus alvarezii (Doty) Doty, K. striatum Schmitz and Eucheuma denticulatum (Burman) Collins et Harvey (commercial eucheumatoid species) per unit time, effort, area and cost in more than one cultivation area. The present review has shown that no true advances have taken place in commercial eucheumatoid farming in over a decade. These species have remained the primary source of carrageenan through expansion of cultivation area and increase in the number of farmers since farmer productivity has not increased through time. Priority should be given to researches that could replace “tie–tie system” currently being used in the vegetative propagation of the crops and the possible use of spores/sporelings in cultivation as in other economic seaweeds. Multifactorial experiments considering nutrients, salinity and light especially, need to be done to meet seasonality problems in growth/production of the crops. Understanding and developing the capability to mitigate or eliminate pests, herbivores and diseases need to be addressed more closely. Strains should be developed through a continuous selection of wild varieties, breeding programs and genetic manipulation or transgenic production/development. Increasing the quality of extract through superior post-harvest handling and strain improvement should be achieved. Practical and effective quarantine procedures should be explored, publicized and utilized for introduction of crops to new areas.
