Early Warning of Heavy Metal Pollution in the Waters of Obi Island Based on Plankton Elements
Authors: Tamrin Tamrin , Aris Muhammad
Published: February 2022

Industrial activities that are around the waters will donate dangerous heavy metals and enter the waters through rivers. Heavy metal pollution is very dangerous for animals, plants, and humans. Exposure to heavy metals in humans occurs through the food chain. Pollution observation methods using living organisms such as plankton as bioindicators are more effective. As an indicator of biological, composition, and abundance of plankton can provide a guide for monitoring the occurrence of pollution by using the saprobic index. This research aims to determine the level of pollution in the waters of Obi Island. The results of identification of plankton samples found 17 genera phytoplankton in 2 different classes, Diatom and Dinoflagellate, and 3 genera of zooplankton class. The average abundance of phytoplankton from the results of the study was 5.253 individual/L which means that the water conditions were mesotrophic. Meanwhile, the average abundance of zooplankton is 57 individuals/m3. The saprobic index and trophic saprobic index analysis tend to show that the waters are in the mild to moderate polluted category, where the waters are at the β-Mesosaprobic level.Keywords: Phytoplankton; Zooplankton; SI index; Obi island AbstrakKegiatan industri pertambangan di Kawasi merupakan pertambangan untuk memperoleh biji nikel (Ni). Biji Ni umumnya berasosiasi dengan log am berat lainnya seperti tembaga (Cu), arsenik (As), besi (Fe), dan platina (Pt) sehingga berpeluang besar masuk ke perairan di sekitar kawasan pertambangan melaluli aliran sungai. Interaksi yang terjadi dalam ekosistem perairan sungai dan beban masukan yang tidak terkendali dapat mempengaruhi ketersediaan unsur hara dan fitoplankton. Fitoplankton merupakan parameter biologi yang dapat di jadikan indikator untuk mengevaluasi kualitas dan tingkat kesuburan perairan. Sebagai indikator biologi komposisi dan kelimpahan fitoplankton dapat memberikan petunjuk untuk memantau terjadinya pencemaran dengan menggunakan indeks saprobitas. Hasil identifikasi sampel plankton yang dijumpai berjumlah 17 genus fitoplankton dalam 2 kelas berbeda, yaitu diatom dan Dinoflagellate, serta 3 genus zooplankton kelas copepoda. Dari hasil penelitian ini, kelas fitoplankton yang paling banyak tercacah adalah diatom atau Bacillariophyceae. Rata – rata kelimpahan fitoplankton (Diatom dan Dinoflagellata) dari hasil penelitian sebesar 15.503 ind/L. Hal ini, berarti bahwa kelimpahan perairan pada lokasi penelitian dalam kondisi tinggi (eutotrof). Jenis zooplankton yang tercacah merupakan zooplankton kelas copepoda yang terdiri atas Oithona sp.; Corycaeus sp.; dan Paracalunus sp. Analisis SI dan TSI cenderung menunjukan perairan berada pada kategori tercemar ringan sampai sedang, dimana perairan berada pada tingkat β- Mesosaprobik.Kata Kunci: Biji Nikel; Fitoplankton; Zooplankton; Indeks SI dan TSI.

Bivariate Flood Frequency Analysis: A case study of Rib River, Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia
Authors: Haile Mesfin Mamo
Published: February 2022

Hydrological design, planning and design of flood mitigation structures require detailed knowledge of the characteristics of the flood event, i.e. peaks, volumes, occurrence times and duration. In addition to the uncertainty associated with the occurrence in both space and time, these events may often have a correlation of varying strengths. The literature study interestingly reveals that the majority of studies are based on a univariate approach rather than a more realistic approach that recognizes the multivariate nature of the underlying phenomenology. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to revisit the topic of sizing of flood events in terms of their frequency of occurrence using the ‘Copula’ based bivariate approach to analyze the joint distributions of correlated flood variables with a special focus on Ribb sub basin, Upper Blue Nile (Ethiopia) as the case study. The methodology was applied to flood attributes, i.e. flood peaks and volume generation from partial duration series (PDS) by applying run theory. The Joint Cumulative Distribution Function, the Conditional Cumulative Distribution Function and the associated Return Periods can be easily achieved based on the bivariate distribution of the copula and compared to the univariate analysis.

An unstable economy is rife with fraud. Perpetrated on customers, it ranges from employees’ internal abuse to large fraud via high-value contracts cum control breaches that impose serious consequences to biz. Loyal employees may not perpetrate fraud if not for societal pressures and economic recession with its rationalization that they have bills to pay and children to feed. Thus, the need for financial institutions to embark on effective measures via schemes that will aids both fraud prevention and detection. Study proposes genetic algorithm trained neural net model to accurately classify credit card transactions. Compared, model used a rule-based system to provide it with start-up solution and it has a fraud catching rate of 91% with a consequent, false alarm rate of 9%.

Authors: Triandi Rahmat , Asrianda  , Rosnita Lidya
Published: February 2022

Futsal field rental is a business engaged in the field of community service in the field of futsal sports. Currently in lhokseumawe city there are 10 futsal fields located in various places, ranging from around campus, office areas, to densely populated settlements. This resulted in many of the people who do not know the location of the futsal field and also the nearest route that can be passed. So it takes an application that can provide information on the futsal field in lhokseumawe city along with the nearest route that can be passed. Determining the nearest route passed to the location of the futsal field can only be done on nodes that have been defined by the system. Dijkstra's algorithm was chosen because it operates thoroughly against existing nodes, and generates the shortest trajectory of all nodes so that it will produce the nearest route optimally. To test the accuracy of the nearest route the results of dijkstra algorithm implementation are used another software that is quantum GIS. This is done to see if the resulting path is correct. From the test results obtained the path obtained is the same as quantum GIS calculations with a similarity value of 100%. Black box testing is used to test the functionality of the menus in the system, and the test results in terms of the functionality of the menus on the system run as desired and run well. The system is good to use.

Probiotics from coconut water lactic acid bacteria have not isolated nor identified them, and no one has studied that these probiotics can help cure Covid-19 patients. This study aimed to isolate and identify probiotic lactic acid bacteria in coconut water, both morphologically, physiologically, and biochemically. Further studied his ability to help cure Covid-19 patients. Using coconut water samples, probiotics are isolated by isolating lactic acid bacteria through dilution methods and pour plate methods. The medium used is MRSA+ CaCO3 0.3%. Physiological and morphological identification. The following identification is to perform biochemical tests such as the Gram test. The results showed that there were 73 bacterial isolates and 24 fungal isolates, consisting of 4 species of bacteria, Pediococcus sp, Lactobacillus paracasei, and Lactobacillus plantarum, as well as candida sp and rhizopus fungi. In comparison, the results of the antimicrobial analysis showed that Lactobacillus plantarum has better antimicrobial ability against the pathogen bacteria Pseudomonas aureginosa. Lactobacillus plantarum's antimicrobial ability is less good against S. aureus bacteria. These findings suggest that probiotics from coconut water can be isolated and may aid the healing of Covid-19 patients. This study has implications that in the future Covid-19 patients can be helped with coconut water.

Tendencies of development of economies of small countries
Authors: Tokmazishvili Mikheil
Published: February 2022

The economic prospects of small countries are associated with the historical and political context of their institutional development, as well as with the rules of economic regulation. These countries have different historical experience and peculiar cycles of the development, which is one of the important criteria for their classification.

All small countries have insufficient resources for the development of the economic sectors. Unlike large countries, they experience acute need for regional integration, and compensation of scarcity of the resources is possible only through the development of intensive foreign trade. Dependence on foreign trade relations creates high risks of transferring of regional problems. Accordingly, small countries are painfully impacted by the global economic crises.
Comparative analysis indicates that in the last 20 years Central and Eastern European countries are more vulnerable to the economic challenges, rather than the post-soviet countries. During the economic cycles production of industrialized European small countries has failed and the average annual rate of growth has declined, but reducing the economy was lower than in other countries. in the post-socialist small countries of Eastern and Central Europe declining of the average growth rate, also frequency and duration of cycles of the economy were much higher. Integration of these counties into the European markets was more painful than the process of rebuilding of post-soviet countries trade relations in the traditional historical markets.

At present the situation is complicated by the fact that the association with the EU and the Eurasian Union (DCFTA and EAEU) are two opposing vectors, which post-communist countries face to, in order to make choice for their future perspectives.

Nowadays, much interest is devoted to the use of inno-vative (or wise) methods in assessing regional development. Rural areas have particular importance in ensuring sustainable development of any state; moreover, smart approache sto the assessment of regional development potential helpdetermining common trends in the socio-economic development of the state as a whole. The present study shows the possibility of an integrated use of quantitative and qualitative methods in the assessment of the sustainable development of latgale region (Eastern latvia). The assessment was carried out within the framework of the project 5.2. of the national research program EKOSOC-LV. The quantitative assessment was based on scientific and practical experience taking into consideration the peculiarities of the development of Latvian regions and districts and resulted in the establishment of an integrated index (smart Development index), which comprises four dimensions – Resources, Population, Economy, and Management. The qualitative assessment was based on the viewpoints concerning the cornerstones of smart specializa- tion and the factors influencing it expressed by experts rep- resenting the state administration, business and scientific en- vironment. Expert opinions were collected by using the AHP method. The results of the research can contribute to the development of a scientifically grounded state and regional policy that reveals the full potential of smart development of rural areas, taking into account the rate of the regional so- cio-economic development. The case and the methodology of the present study can also be interpolated to other regions experiencing the need for creating an integrated, scientifi- cally grounded, balanced and sustainable policy of regional development.

Evolutionary economics and the competition between scientific paradigms
Authors: Dzotsenidze Tsitsino , Kiriakidi Anna
Published: February 2022

The choice of physics as a model for the development of economic theory, a methodological direction which has been particularly dominant since the Second World War, has increasingly been criticized by economists, and not only by evolutionary economists, but by members of a variety of schools. Many of these critics see biology as an alternative methodological direction that merits investigation. Modelling economics on biology is not a new idea; it is an attempt to revisit a number of questions which were left behind at the turn of the twentiieth century. Thus the fundamental ques- tion is whether the concept of evolutionary economics was abandoned prematurely, or for good reasons.

At present, it seems that the unifying position of these different “evolutionists” seems to be a growing contempt with the neoclassical economics, especially to its simplifying assumptions, which take inventions, innovations and dissem- ination of information as external variables

The concepts that schumpeter used have been a source of inspiration for Neo-Schumpeterian and new evolutionary eco- nomics. His indication that evolution is an endogenous change process, his equilibrium propensity, and his non-equilibrium con- cepts, his emphasis on uncertainty, and his indication that the na- ture of economics evolution is imbalanced actually demonstrate that schumpeter could be categorized both in Neo-schumpete- rian and new evolutionary economics categories.
Globalization challenges and Georgian trade relations
Authors: Gelashvili Madona
Published: February 2022

At current stage, deepening of the trade & economic relations with the developed countries is of greater significance than with the countries at the same development level. Thisis mostly caused by the increasing technological dependence on the developed countries. For the developing and transition economies it is of critical significance to attract foreign investments providing the basis for economic development, exports growth and integration into the world trade and economics.

To evaluate the directions of the foreign trade relations of Georgia, the work offers discussion of the foreign trade turnover, export & import, the largest trade partner countries, the largest groups of import and export goods and other indicators. Georgian government supports the idea of exportoriented policies. Reduction of import tariffs and liberal local policies of recent years is best suitable for such approach. Export-oriented policies imply entry to the foreign markets and improvement of situation, with respect of production and costs in domestic export sector. Both of these aspects are subject of trade agreements, determining the conditions for opening markets for one another by the trade partners. And such negotiations deal not only with the tariff and non-tariff barriers but legislation regulating and forming the markets in general, as well.

Trade policies of a country comprise significant part of the economic politics, as exports promotion is associated with economic growth, especially, where the trade partner, e.g., such as EU, implements the policies oriented towards foreign markets.

Published: February 2022

The purpose of this study was to establish the effect of human resource capabilities on customer relationship management in private hospitals in Kenya. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. It targeted 161 private hospitals which are accredited by NHIF in Kenya and which formed the unit of analysis of the study. Simple random sampling was then be used to obtain the 644 respondents. The researcher utilized a structured questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale to gather the data. The collected data were coded and entered in SPSS for further analysis. Descriptive and inferential analysis was conducted. The findings found there is indeed a positive statistically significant relationship between human resource capability and customer relationship management. However, human resource capabilities had the least effect with 31.5% implying that most private hospitals either do not have enough staff, the reward system is not adequate, there is no staff involvement, or either there is no career progression and therefore staff was not satisfied. This can also imply that the managements were keener on other drivers that are directly involved in customers like information technology infrastructure. The study recommends that hospitals should stand out from the competitors by hiring highly skilled staff as well as embracing an integrated patient-centric efficient care delivery for the successful delivery of effective CRM. Managers should recognize that human resource capability is valuable, rare, irreplaceable, and difficult to imitate; therefore, it is crucial for creating sustainable competitive advantages, and if utilized appropriately, it can improve the CRM of an organization.

Wege zur Rechtsgeschichte: Das BGB
Authors: Haferkamp Hans-Peter
Published: February 2022

Das BGB von 1900 gilt einerseits als Kodifikation mit klarem „liberalem“ bzw. „unsozialem“ Profil. Es galt andererseits im Kaiserreich, in Weimar, während des Nationalsozialismus, in der DDR bis 1976 und gilt bis heute in der Bundesrepublik. Wie kann ein rechtspolitisch so festgelegtes Gesetz so völlig unterschiedlichen Werteordnungen dienen? Wurde das BGB den wandelnden Umständen angepasst? Wer tat dies? Der Gesetzgeber, die Judikatur oder die Rechtswissenschaft?
Das vorliegende Studienbuch zeichnet die Entstehung und die Geltungsgeschichte der deutschen Privatrechtskodifikation nach. Ziel ist es, der scheinbar zeitlosen Welt des BGB eine historisch-politische Dimension zurückzugeben. In den Blick geraten dabei die Kodifikationsgeschichte, Dogmengeschichte, Justiz- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte und die Sozial- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts. Zielpublikum sind Studierende und Privatrechtwissenschaftler.

Authors: Adzrolo Ben , Annan-Brew Ruth , Cobbinah Andrews , Asamoah-Gyimah Kenneth
Published: February 2022

This paper explored students’ opinions on the effects of examination malpractices on Senior High School students in Assin Districts, Central Region. The study employed a descriptive survey design with the quantitative method. The participants were made up of students from the six public Senior High Schools in Assin Districts. Proportional stratified and simple random sampling procedures had been employed to select a sample of 302 student participants which comprised 164 male students and 138 female students. A questionnaire was employed to collect the data for the study. Means, standard deviations and independent t-test statistics were used to analyze the data gathered for the study. The findings revealed that the major effect of examination malpractice on students was academic corruption followed by ineffective study habits among Senior High School students. It was concluded that in schools where a conducive environment and teaching/learning materials are not provided for effective learning, students involve themselves in examination malpractice to raise the academic image of the school. It was recommended that the Ministry of Education should provide conducive teaching and learning environment to ensure effective academic work in schools to minimize examination malpractice. Also, heads of Senior High Schools should strengthen public education on the effects of examination malpractice to minimize the menace.

Authors: Kipruto Morogo Shadrack
Published: February 2022

This paper examines the dynamics surrounding enrolment interventions that have been put in place by key stakeholders in promotion of the 100% enrolment rates in primary schools. The study was guided by the following objective: to determine enrolment dynamics of primary schools in Eldoret West Sub County, Kenya. The study was based on the social demand approach, a model which when applied to education, refers to the aggregate/total demand for school places in a nation (Zimmer, 1985). The researcher adopted a survey research design which aimed at obtaining complete and accurate findings. The design was appropriate for the study since the researcher intended to critically examine enrolment dynamics in Eldoret West, Kenya. From the 177 primary schools in the sub county, a total of 53 schools were sampled. All the 53 Headteachers and all the 5 Quality Assurance Officers in the Education sub county office participated in the study. Data was collected by use of questionnaires, interviews and documents analysis. It was established that there was a significant growth in enrolment due to current government policies. The stakeholders should be mobilized to provide resources needed to expand primary school facilities to ensure equal access to education opportunities for all.
