Authors: Mbagga Sharifa , Malusu Prof. Joseph , Lyamtane Dr. Eugene
Published: November 2021

Tourism and hospitality sector in Tanzania contributes to 18 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and about 10 percent employment rate in the country. However, industry professionals are complaining about the quality of human resource from training institutions. While some authors have addressed the quality of human resources in relation to graduates’ skills possession using the managers, trainers and the nature of services they render, the researcher could not find a study that has addressed the issue in relation to programme design from the trainers, heads of department and hotel managers. This study was set to answer the main research question: How is VET hospitality programme designed to contribute to skills development among the graduates in Arusha region? The study employed convergent design to assess VET hospitality programme design in developing skills among the graduates. Participants were obtained through simple random sampling of training institutions and purposive sampling of hotels belonging to HAT in Arusha region. Data were collected through semi structured interview with the hotel managers and heads of department, structured interview with the trainers and content analysis of programme document. Data were analyzed by transcription of data from the interviews. Programme activities were used to analyze the collected data and used for data interpretation. Interpretation and discussion of data analysis results were summarized and compared with the reviewed literature and theories. The findings for this study indicated that VET programme for Food and Beverages Service and Sales and Front Office Operations are well designed to enhance skills development among the graduates and if well implemented should lead to the acquisition of hospitality knowledge, skills, values and attitudes. English and communication skills, as a supporting course needs to be structured for implementers to understand designated learning outcomes, learning activities, teaching and training methods and assessment activities.
Slovene Immigrants and their Descendants in North America: Faces of Identity
Authors: Šabec Nada
Published: November 2021

The monograph consists of two complementary parts: the first presents the author's research on Slovene American and Canadian communities, the second narratives by the immigrants and their descendants themselves. Language use and attitudes of Slovene Americans and Canadians as well as the relationship between their sense of ethnic identity and the degree of mother tongue maintenance is examined. A rapid shift from Slovene to English is observed across generations. Language choice both on individual and community levels is explained within the Communication Accommodation theory (Giles and Ogay 2007). Despite the relatively high symbolic value that the participants attribute to Slovene, it is not central to their ethnicity. The most important ethnic identification factor is culture in its broadest sense (from customs to sense of belonging). The majority feels more bicultural than bilingual, American and Canadian, but also Slovene, which they perceive as a source of pride and an enrichment of their lives.
Use of improved inputs and its effect on maize yield and profit in Uganda
Authors:   Makerere University, Uganda, Okoboi G , Muwanga J , Mwebaze T
Published: November 2021

Maize is an important crop, produced by nearly all households in Uganda. Yet, the yield of the crop is low, mainly blamed on low use of improved technologies. In a bid to understand why farmers are reluctant to adopt modern agricultural technologies, which are hailed for enhancing productivity, this study assessed the effect of improved inputs use on maize yield and profit in Uganda. The analysis was based on the Uganda National Household Survey data of 2005/06. A graphical analysis was used to assess the yield and profit outcomes associated with use of improved seed and fertiliser. Stochastic production functions of yield and profit were estimated to assess the effect of use of improved inputs on yield and profit. Graphical results indicated that maize producers who applied fertiliser on improved seed obtained the highest yield but lower gross profit margin while farmers who never applied fertiliser on improved seed obtained lower yield but the highest gross profit margin. Regression results indicated that higher expenditure on fertiliser and traction per hectare had a significant (p<0.05) positive effect on yield. No significant effect on gross profit margin was however observed in the case of higher expenditure on fertiliser and traction per hectare in maize production. Results indicate that whereas expansion in area cultivated had a significantly (p<0.01) negative effect on yield, it was the most important (p<0.01) means of increasing profit. Education level and access to extension services are key farmer characteristics that were found to have a significantly (p<0.01) positive influence on the profit and yet no remarkable influence on yield. Notable was that maize producers that were members in the government extension agency, National Agricultural Advisory Services organization, (NAADS) had lower yield than farmers not in NAADS. These results suggest that NAADS and other agencies that are involved in promoting use of modern agricultural technologies in Uganda have an uphill task of proving and hence persuading farmers that use of these technologies not only enhances yield but also increases farm profits.
The COVID-19 Crisis in Romania: A Hypothesis around Penal Populism and Legal Culture
Authors: Mercescu Alexandra
Published: November 2021

In this paper I seek to present a working hypothesis to be eventually developed in a future contribution, namely that the COVID-19 crisis exposed some problematic behaviours evocative of an authoritarian ethos on the part of both public authorities and citizens which suggest that a penal populist attitude might now be part or even embedded in the Romanian legal culture. Specifically, I will organize this contribution as follows: in the first part, I will briefly describe Romania’s reaction (as evidenced both in the official measures taken and the attitude of citizens) to the first wave of the pandemic focusing on the role of penal and military means; I shall qualify this reaction as containing some traces of penal populism. In the second part I shall offer a tentative mapping of the factors that can explain this problematic cultural reaction. Importantly, among these I include the successful fight against corruption with the consequence that what appears to have very much consolidated the rule of law in post-1989 Romania could be shown to have had the unintended and paradoxical effect of undermining the very same ideal.

Authors: Kim Su Jin , Lee Ho Yun , Kim Tae Hyun , Kim Tae Hoon , Lee Kun Hee
Published: November 2021

Background and Objectives: The alar-columellar relationship plays an important role in the esthetic balance of the nose. We analyzed alar rim deformities and aesthetic concerns and expectations among patients by deformity type in Korean primary rhinoplasty patients.Materials and Methods: Retrospective photographic analysis was done on 336 patients planning to undergo primary rhinoplasty at Kyung Hee University Hospital at Gangdong. We categorized their alar rim deformities as normal, hanging columella, retracted columella, hanging ala, retracted ala, convex ala, concave ala, thick ala, and a combination of the above. Patients’ aesthetic concerns and expectations about their nose were analyzed by preoperative questionnaire.Results: Of the enrolled patients, 38 (11.3%) had no alar rim deformities, and the other 298 patients (88.7%) had one or more deformities. The most prevalent alar rim deformity was hanging ala (59.2%), followed by convex ala (53.3%) and thick ala (32.1%). Male patients were more likely to have convex ala and retracted columella than female patients. More than one-half of the patients (64.1%) had two or more deformities and tended to be young (p=0.028). Patients with thick ala had several reasons for being dissatisfied with their nose and various demands for correction.Conclusion: Distinctive characteristics of alar rim deformities should be considered in surgical planning in order to obtain satisfactory results in Korean primary rhinoplasty patients.
Influencia del clima organizacional en la satisfacción laboral de los obreros de las empresas del sector construcción en Lima Metropolitana
Authors:   , Gutiérrez Guerrero Margot , Justo Casaretto, Rossana Antonella
Published: November 2021

El presente trabajo busca determinar la influencia del Clima Organizacional en la Satisfacción Laboral en el sector Construcción de Lima Metropolitana. El estudio de ambas variables en el sector es de suma importancia, dado que presenta una alta rotación y ello se evidencia en la variación de la PEA ocupada de los años 2018 y 2019, el cual obtuvo un -3.1% siendo este el más alto en comparación del resto de sectores. Asimismo, el estudio permite evidenciar la relación existente entre ambas variables y el impacto que pueden generar sobre los obreros, siendo uno de los factores más importantes en el sector Construcción. Por último, las empresas elegidas son aquellas que mayor relevancia han presentado en el sector en base a la facturación del 2018. Para esta investigación se consideraron a los obreros del sector Construcción como enfoque principal, puesto que no existe suficiente información en el Perú que demuestren la importancia del buen manejo del Clima y la Satisfacción sobre este público objetivo. Por ende, para demostrar ello, se realizó un estudio correlacional con enfoque de tipo transversal y no experimental, tomando como muestra 385 obreros de las cinco empresas más relevantes del sector Construcción. Los resultados de la investigación comprobaron que existe una relación entre ambas variables. Estos resultados son de suma relevancia para el sector Construcción, dado que las empresas no suelen darle la importancia que merecen a su personal, sobre todo los obreros, siendo ellos esenciales para el desarrollo de las distintas obras de construcción.
Modelo de Data Science para la evaluación de clientes de cajas rurales sin historial crediticio
Authors:   , Cáceres Gonzales Aldo David , Paucar Villantoy Fabio Leonel
Published: November 2021

En Latinoamérica, se ha desarrollado, la inclusión financiera, de manera muy rápida en los últimos tiempos, sin embargo, este proceso todavía no consigue que la fuerza laboral esté integrada totalmente. El acceso al crédito en América Latina solo representa el 51% y, en el Perú, esta cifra desciende al 29% (CEPES,2016). En el rubro económico, los requerimientos para poder acceder a un crédito son muy rigurosos, donde prevalece el sector formal. Más de las dos terceras partes del poder laboral en el Perú (69%) no son formales, según la Organización Mundial del Trabajo. Asimismo, en el sector informal el otorgamiento de crédito carece de historial financiero y los montos son mínimos esto conlleva a que las entidades financieras eleven el riesgo y los costos asociados con los créditos en este sector. Esto nos muestra que las realidades de los créditos difieren demasiado con el proceso de evaluación de clientes generando una deficiente y mala representación de lo que ocurre en la vida real. Este proyecto permite está basado en que la gran cantidad de financieras solamente entregan créditos a su clientela que cuenta con un historial crediticio, en consecuencia, el fin de este proyecto, muy diferente a lo convencional, es poder otorgar créditos a personas naturales y/o empresas que se encuentran en el proceso de la formalidad. Contamos con referencias de otras partes del mundo, un claro ejemplo es en el país oriental de la China la cual cuenta con una realidad cultural muy diferente a la nuestra, sin embargo, cuenta con conocimientos que se pueden adaptar al proyecto nuestro. Con todo lo descrito, planteamos el desarrollo de un Modelo de Data Science que ayude a analizar a los clientes potenciales mediante el cálculo de su capacidad de pago y en base a eso predecir y ofrecer el producto que mejor se acople a los parámetros antes detallados (Cáceres & Paucar, 2019). Este proyecto desarrolla el Modelo de Data Science y se prueba en una Página Web en la misma caja rural (instalaciones) y en el sector campo mediante la ayuda de sus móviles, para demostrar los resultados logrados y las mejores comparativas de nuestro modelo con el método tradicional. Palabras claves: Data Science, Modelo de evaluación, Capacidad de pago, Data Analysis, Historial Crediticio, Caja Rural.
Agricultural Commercialisation and Rural Livelihoods in Malawi: A Historical and Contemporary Agrarian Inquiry
Authors: Chinsinga Blessings , Matita Mirriam , Chimombo Masautso , Msofi Loveness , Kaiyatsa Stevier , Mazalale Jacob
Published: November 2021

This study was carried out to understand the underlying dynamics of agricultural commercialisation in Malawi, especially among smallholder farmers. Despite various concerted efforts to accelerate agricultural growth and transformation, the progress among smallholder farmers has been less satisfactory. Most of the smallholder farmers do not engage with markets on a consistent and sustainable basis. Consequently, the aim of this paper was to demonstrate that there is no one ideal type of agricultural commercialisation that can be realised through investment and policy intervention.
Preserving Communities' Heritage: A Workbook for Heritage Capturers
Authors: Baker James , Shahab Sofya
Published: November 2021

This is a practical workbook to guide local communities and heritage gatherers through the process of capturing and storing their heritage for future generations. Through initiatives with the British Academy and the Coalition for Religious Equality and Inclusive Development (CREID), the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) has been working with young people in Egypt, Iraq and Syria to capture their oral heritage, so that it may be preserved for future generations. Alongside life history interviews and topic interviews - which cover particular aspects of communities’ heritage - a key component of this heritage preservation is how these records will be stored. Thinking about the language and accessibility of digital archiving practices, this workbook is a practical guide to capturing and storing “heritage harvests”, including community interviews, photographs, and short films.
Understanding Inclusivity of Religious Diversity in Humanitarian Response
Authors: Wilkinson Olivia , Eggert Jennifer Philippa
Published: November 2021

This report comes from a review of tools and guidance materials applicable to humanitarian response with regard to their inclusion or exclusion of questions on religious minorities and religious diversity. The authors find that there are a lack of questions tailored for humanitarians to use throughout the programme cycle that will help them analyse when and how to pay specific attention to religious diversity in their response. This report suggests some recommended questions emerging from the reviews of guidance documents and tools.
Beyond Greed: Why Armed Groups Tax
Authors: Bandula-Irwin Tanya , Gallien Max , Jackson Ashley , van den Boogaard Vanessa , Weigand Florian
Published: November 2021

Armed groups tax. Journalistic accounts often include a tone of surprise about this fact, while policy reports tend to strike a tone of alarm, highlighting the link between armed group taxation and ongoing conflict. Policymakers often focus on targeting the mechanisms of armed group taxation as part of their conflict strategy, often described as ‘following the money’. We argue that what is instead needed is a deeper understanding of the nuanced realities of armed group taxation, the motivations behind it, and the implications it has for an armed group’s relationship with civilian and diaspora populations, as well as the broader international community. This paper builds on two distinct literatures, on armed groups and on taxation, to provide the first systematic exploration into the motivation of armed group taxation. Based on a review of the diverse practices of how armed groups tax, we highlight that a full account of their motivation needs to go beyond revenue collection, and engage with key themes around legitimacy, population control, institution building, and the performance of public authority. We problematise common approaches towards armed group taxation and state-building, and outline key questions of a new research agenda.
Effectiveness of Sustainable Marine Economy Interventions
Authors: Bolton Laura
Published: November 2021

Large development intervention programmes termed ‘marine economy’ or ‘blue economy’ are in their early stages and do not yet have results on effectiveness. Reports on the effectiveness of activities which could be considered under the blue economy umbrella were identified although more general reports of success than specific evidence. The World Bank programme, Problue, is a multi-donor trust fund aiming to achieve sustainable economic development in healthy oceans. The latest annual review of the programme lists achievements in terms of number of activities, proposals accepted, and beneficiaries. Effectiveness outcomes were not yet available. Progress has been made in developing frameworks and tools to assist governments to develop roadmaps. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is undertaking a large number of activities in support of sustainable ocean economies which are also in early stages.
How Are We Doing with Open Education Practice Initiatives? Applying an Institutional Self-Assessment Tool in Five Higher Education Institutions
Authors: Morgan Tannis , Childs Elizabeth , Hendricks Christina , Harrison Michelle , DeVries Irwin , Jhangiani Rajiv
Published: November 2021

This collaborative self-study examines how five higher education institutions in British Columbia (BC), Canada, have achieved momentum with openness and are implementing and sustaining their efforts. A goal of this research was to see whether an institutional self-assessment tool—adapted from blended learning and institutional transformation research—can help to assess how an institution has progressed with its open education initiatives. By adopting both an appreciative and a critical approach, the researchers at these five BC institutions compared the similarities and differences between their institutional approaches and the evolution of their initiatives. The paper includes discussion of how a self-assessment tool for institutional open education practices (OEP) can be applied to OEP initiatives at an institutional level and shares promising practices and insights that emerge from this research.
Exploring Open and Distance Learning Reform at the National University of Lesotho: A Managerial Perspective
Authors: Nketekete Malefetsane , Mojalefa Mamoeletsi Limakatso
Published: November 2021

This study investigated how open and distance learning (ODL) reform was managed within the Institute of Extramural Studies (IEMS), at the National University of Lesotho (NUL). The reform was introduced during the 2017/18 academic year with first-year programmes in three departments: (a) Adult Education; (b) Business and Management Development; and (c) Research, Evaluation, and Media. The study employed interviews and analysis of institutional documents as data collection techniques. Interviews were held with eight programme coordinators, four department heads, and the director of IEMS. Purposive sampling was used to select the participants to the study given their strategic position in the management and implementation of the reform. Qualitative content analysis was used to interpret the data. The findings suggested that the ODL programmes were introduced without a policy and comprehensive plan. The implementation faced several challenges such as finance, as well as infrastructural and human resources. Evidence from the literature has suggested that compared to face-to-face strategy, ODL as an educational strategy requires special resources, support, and funding. Thus, curricular materials should be adapted for the ODL context, taking into account students’ characteristics. The study found that these pertinent requirements were not considered, and implementation continued as if the reform still constituted face-to-face or campus-based instruction.
“I Don’t Know if I Can Handle It All”: Students’ Affect During Remote Education in the COVID-19 Pandemic in Brazil
Authors: Comelli Felipe Augusto de Mesquita , Da Costa Michel , Dos Santos Tavares Elisabeth
Published: November 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted society in different areas. In education, several reports show the deleterious effects of the disease on the physical and mental health of students, family members, and teachers around the world. Also, in Brazil, affect studies indicate the prevalence of anxiety, stress, and depression among students. The present research, of a qualitative nature, explores what it means, under the lens of affect and from the student’s perspective, to experience remote education during the COVID-19 pandemic. An online questionnaire of 41 closed- and open-ended questions was given to 363 students from a public school in southeastern Brazil. This article analyzes the affective fields that emerged from the discursive textual analysis of the students’ responses (n = 100). Four affective fields were categorized: friends, classes, home, and teachers; intersecting emotions, attitudes, values, beliefs, and motivation. In general, students expressed more negative than positive affect but a positive disposition toward face-to-face classes. Boys focused their affect more on classes, while girls on teachers. The affective fields allow us to consider the friends–home–teachers tripod as fundamental to overcoming the phenomenon of affective fatigue that has been identified.
The value of philosophical analysis of history for ecological education
Authors:   Bryansk State Technical University, Popkova N.V.
Published: November 2021

Discussed is the need for a historical analysis of the relationship between man and nature for the formation of the theoretical basis of environmental education is considered. It is shown that a holistic picture of the historical interaction between mankind and the Earth’s biosphere is necessary for understanding modern global processes: the disclosure of the causes of the ecological crisis will help to create programs for the greening of human activity. Traditional historical approaches developed by the philosophy of history are not suitable for solving this problem, since they do not take into account the natural limitations of technological progress and the evolutionary role of humanity in the biosphere. The article discusses new concepts proposed for a comprehensive study of historical processes and the biosphere transformations caused by them. It is concluded that the level of their development does not yet allow using them for educational purposes. Nevertheless, the analysis of the consequences of technical development made with their help in the context of historical reality makes it possible to reflect the trend of technologization of man and nature. The main regularities of the relationship between mankind and the biosphere can be distinguished on the basis of the ratio of biological and technological factors, on which the life of people depended in different eras. Understanding the nature of the modern ecological crisis is necessary for the development of scientifically grounded programs to neutralize the negative consequences of the formation and expansion of technical reality.

Published: November 2021

This study aimed to investigate the level of ethical sensitivity among Princess Alia University College Students in Jordan and how this is influenced by their educational level and specialization. To achieve the objects of the study, the ethical sensitivity scale questionnaire (ESSQ) was used, as developed by Narvaez (2001). This was used to measure the moral sensitivity of adults and adolescents. It consists of (28) items in seven dimensions, which are the ability to read emotions, to represent the views of others, interest in communication with others, the activation of personal relations, taking into account differences and controlling social prejudice, working to generate interpretations and alternatives, and identifying the consequences of an event and the available options. The sample of the study consisted of (126) randomly selected undergraduate and graduate students. The results of the study showed that the level of ethical sensitivity among Princess Alia University College Students was low, and there were statistically significant differences in the level of ethical sensitivity due to specialization, in favor of humanities students, as well as statistically significant differences in the level of ethical sensitivity due to the educational level, in favor of master’s students.
The Effect of Online Homework (IXL) on Students' Mathematics Achievement
Authors: Liu Kawai , Wu Julius
Published: November 2021

We examined the potential different effectiveness of an online homework system (IXL) and the traditional paper-and-pencil homework. A study involving 98 participants was conducted in a middle school (grade 8). We compared the post-test results from the online homework group with the traditional homework group. Both homework assignment effect (class-level) and homework completion effect (student-level) proposed by Trautwein (2007) were investigated. No significant difference was found among the students who were assigned different types of homework (class-level). We conclude that IXL is as effective as the traditional homework on students' learning. Meanwhile, not surprisingly, we revealed that students who complete the homework outperformed the students who did not (student-level). We suggest that teachers give students an option to do online or traditional homework based on their preference, as long as they complete the homework.

Sampah sudah menjadi persoalan serius bagi masyarakat. Produksi sampah di dunia semakin meningkat, sedangkan laju pengurangan sampah lebih kecil dari pada laju produksinya, hal ini menyebabkan sampah semakin menumpuk. Berbagai upaya pemanfaatan sampah organik dengan teknologi baru telah dilakukan, salah satunya dengan memanfaatkan larva Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens). Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk menganalisis besar persentase kemampuan larva BSF dalam mereduksi sampah organik sayuran/buah-buahan dan lauk. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode percobaan skala laboratorium. Sampah organik yang digunakan sebagai sampel adalah sampah yang berasal dari sampah makanan khususnya sampah  sayuran/buah-buahan  dan  lauk  dengan  frekuensi  feeding  sekali  dalam  3   hari.   Analisis   data   yang   digunakan   pada  penelitian   ini   yaitu  Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 2 kali replikasi (pengulangan) dan metode analisis yang digunakan adalah Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Berdasarkan penelitian ini, persentase terbesar reduksi sampah oleh larva BSF sebesar 74% dan berdasarkan persentase yang diperoleh ditentukan bahwa variasi jenis sampah sayuran/buah-buahan dengan frekuensi feeding sekali dalam 3 hari lebih efektif untuk menghasilkan persentase reduksi sampah yang optimal. Kata kunci: frekuensi feeding, jenis sampah, larva BSF, reduksi sampah organik.  Waste has become a serious problem for the community. Waste production in the world is increasing, while the rate of waste reduction is smaller than the rate of production, this causes waste to accumulate more. Various efforts to use organic waste with new technology have been carried out, one of which is by utilizing the larvae ofxBlack Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens). The purpose of this study was to analyze the large percentage of BSF larvae' ability in reducing organic waste of vegetables/fruits and side dishes. This research was conducted by laboratory-scale experimental method. Organic waste used as a sample is garbage derived from food waste, especially vegetable / fruit waste and side dishes with feeding frequency once every 3 days. Data analysis used in this study is Complete RandomIzedxDesign (RAL) with 2 times replication (repetition) and the analysis method used is Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Based on this study, the largest percentage of waste reduction by BSF larvae is 74% and based on the percentage obtained it is determined that variations in the type of vegetable/fruit waste with feeding frequency once in 3 days are more effective to produce an optimal percentage of waste reduction. Keyword: BSF larvae, feeding frequency, reduction of organic waste, types of waste.

Limbah batik memiliki kandungan organik dan warna, yang sulit untuk digredasi. Tujuan penelitian ini mengembangkan teknologi Sequenching Batch Reactor (SBR) yang dimodifikasi dengan adsorben dari tempurung kelapa dan bamboo. Konsentrasi limbah batik awal, untuk COD sebesar 1965 mg/L, warna 1603 mg/L, TSS 1140 mg/L. Pelaksanaan penelitian terbagi menjadi dua tahap, yaitu tahap pertama limbah diolah menggunakan proses koagulasi dan flokulasi, selanjutnya tahap dua menggunakan Sequencing Batch Reactor. Pada tahap koagulasi-flokulasi, menggunakan koagulan PAC (Poly Aluminium Chloride). Sedangkan pada tahap dua yang menggunakan SBR, diatur Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT) dan berat adsorben (tempurung kelapa, bamboo dan zeolite). Hasil penelitian, didapatkan proses koagulasi dan flokulasi mampu menurunkan kandungan organic (BOD5 dan COD) pada kisaran 80%, Total Suspended Solid (TSS )26% dan warna 55%. Sedangkan pada SBR, didapatkan bahwa penambahan adsorben mengoptimalkan pendegradasian kandungan organic. Didapatkan pada HRT optimal 48 jam, jenis adsorben tempurung kelapa optimal menurunkan kandungan BOD5 sebesar 93%,  COD 93.7% sebesar , TSS 81% mg/L dan warna 81% mg/L.  Kata kunci: kandungan organic dan warna, koagulasi dan flokulasi, sequencing batch reactor (SBR).  The organic content and color of batik wastewater make it difficult to grade. The goal of this research was to create a modified Sequenching Batch Reactor (SBR) using adsorbents made from coconut shells and bamboo. The initial concentrations of COD, color, and TSS in batik wastewater were 1965 mg/L for COD, 1603 mg/L for color, and 1140 mg/L for TSS. The research was divided into two stages, with the first stage involving the use of coagulation and flocculation processes, and the second stage involving the use of a Sequencing Batch Reactor. PAC (Poly Aluminum Chloride) coagulant was used for the coagulation-flocculation stage. Meanwhile, the Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT) and the weight of the adsorbent (coconut shell, bamboo, and zeolite) were set in the second stage using SBR. The coagulation and flocculation processes reduced organic content (BOD5 and COD) by 80 %, total suspended solids (TSS) by 26 %, and color by 55 %, according to the results. In SBR, it was discovered that adding an adsorbent improves the decomposition of organic material. The optimal type of coconut shell adsorbent reduced the level of BOD5 by 93 %, COD by 93.7 %, TSS by 81 % mg/L, and color by 81 % mg/L at an optimal HRT of 48 hours. Keywords: Organic material and color, coagulation and flocculation, sequencing batch reactor (SBR).
