Publishing work on the authority
Authors:   LLC ", Ostapenko Roman ,   Scientific and educational Initiative"
Published: February 2021

In a conversation with the executive editor of a reputable periodical, I noticed that the journal “Economic Consultant”, according to the financial model of Gold Open Access, publishes its articles in the open access, but at the same time charges the authors (or institutions) for publishing services. In response, I heard the editor exclaim: “If our journal becomes paid, I will leave my job!” The authors are also dissatisfied with the need to pay for the publication, I quote: “I don’t agree! I have never paid for my intellectual product, and I am not going to pay for it. I give it for free, and I consider the publication of my material as a fee for my work”. Indeed, some institutions have their own journals, the publication of which is free for employees. However, this is possible because the work of proofreaders, reviewers, and employees of the printing house is paid by the scientific or educational organization itself. Young commercial publishers that do not have sponsorship have to cover their costs through payments from authors. It should be noted that the absence of printed versions of journals does not in any way simplify publishing: electronic periodicals have additional expenses for maintaining the site, preparing data for uploading to bibliographic and information databases, etc. With that, it is necessary to understand that the reflection of the results of specialists’ research work in periodicals significantly increases the authority not only of the authors themselves but also of these publications. A number of commercial periodicals take a hybrid approach to publishing. For example, some publications do not charge authors who “do credit to the journal”. There are journals in which the authors act as free consultants, reviewers, thereby getting the opportunity to publish their own articles free of charge. The rector of one of the higher education institutions, after another open day, said: “We used to choose, and now they choose us”. Something similar is now observed in the publishing industry – there is a struggle between authors for publication in reputable periodicals, and young journals themselves have to fight for authors. The journal “Economic Consultant” adheres to the financial model of Gold Open Access, which provides for payment by the authors for the services of preparing an article for publication. Almost the entire amount received from the author is spent on translating Russian-language articles into English, the rest – on typesetting, that is, the author understands what he is paying for. No fee is charged for authors of English-language articles – in this case, we work according to the Platinum Open Access model since we do not charge either readers or authors. Publishing activities under the open access model are funded by institutions, societies, using grants. In the absence of financial support, the publisher is forced to work for free – for the future, for credibility.

Authors:   Tomsk State University, Sosnin Eduard A. , Poizner Boris N. ,   Tomsk State University
Published: February 2021

Introduction. The issue of goal-setting in management in general and in public administration, in particular, is one of the most relevant and important for management theory and practice. The purpose hereof is to study and reveal the mechanism of goal-setting in management. Materials and methods. The article is based on Korogodin’s theory of goal-oriented systems. The works on public administration, social construction and management, as well as foreign research on organizational management and business, are used herein. Results. A simple classification of typical management errors from the standpoint of the theory of goal-oriented systems is given: those related to goals, resources, operators, and by-products. Discussion and conclusion. The potential of using the teleonomic systems approach for the analysis of problem situations in management has been demonstrated. A strict and logical classification makes it possible to algorithmize the management decision-making process.
An econometric modelling of the savings – investments nexus for Ghana
Authors:   Sunyani Technical University, Yeboah Samuel Asuamah , Prempeh Boateng Kwadwo ,   Sunyani Technical University
Published: February 2021

Introduction. The problem under discussion is whether savings are associated with investments in the long-term and whether savings predict investment with feedback or not. Addressing the problem is important since it informs policy formulation in the financial sector in ensuring efficient financial intermediation. The purpose of the article is looks at the savings-investment relationship for Ghana during the period 1960 to 2016. Methodology. Utilizing ARDL (with bounds testing) approach, the Granger predictive test, the Generalised Impulse Response Function, and Variance decomposition function. Results. The results indicate that a 1% increase in savings, GDP and financial development would result in a 0.069%, 0.266% and 0.125% increase respectively in investment in the short-term. It is discovered that savings do not cause investment in the long-run but rather in the short-run. The Granger causality test establishes a unidirectional causality running from savings to investment in the short-run. Discussion and Conclusion. The ramifications of the finding are that there is capital fixed status globally. Future examinations ought to consider structural break(s) issues as well as panel analysis to determine if the findings of the current study would be reproduced.
COMPARISON OF HOGHORN ANALYSIS METHODS
Authors: Schejbal Vladimir , Vlasak Vaclav , Cermak Dusan , Krcmar Vitezslav
Published: February 2021

The paper compares an aperture method and full-wave numerical simulations of hoghorn, which is used as a simple primary feed for reflector antennas or individually without reflector. The hoghorn consists of a sectoral horn flaring in only one plane and a parabolic cylinder. We briefly explain the calculations of hoghorn dimensions, aperture distributions and radiation patterns. This is suitable for numerical computations. We analyze the completely new simultaneous comparisons of the ample experiments with numerical results of both the aperture method and the numerical simulations. This enables to obtain innovative conclusions. Proposed improvements can diminish slight differences of one polarization between experiments and numerical simulations. We have used the described methods for the design of certain antennas for multilateration systems, such as Tamara and Vera passive radars, for civilian and military air traffic control, which greatly improve the accuracy of tracking aircrafts.

Authors: Jilek Petr , Vrábel Luboš
Published: February 2021

Příspěvek se zabývá zjištěním vlivu typu světelného zdroje brzdových světel automobilu na reakční dobu řidiče. V příspěvku je měřena reakční doba řidiče v podobě sešlápnutí brzdového pedálu v závislosti na rozsvícení brzdových světel u vodícího vozidla. Vyhodnocení měření spočívá ve vzájemném porovnání fázového posunu mezi signálem brzdových světel prvního vozidla a signálem brzdových světel u druhého vozidla. Experimentální měření bylo realizováno pro pět osob a to při použití klasické žárovky a následně LED diody u brzdových světel prvního vozidla. Z naměřených průběhů se potvrdilo, že reakční doba řidiče je závislá na mnoha faktorech, kdy významnou roli hraje i zdroj a intenzita světla brzdových světel. Současně má vliv na reakční dobu i činnost či nečinnost zadních obrysových světel. S jejich aktivací se reakční doba řidiče následného vozidla prodlužuje.

Droit international privé et statuts personnels des non musulmans en terre d’islam: liberté a l’infini, zero ordre public
Authors: Adnane Abdelali
Published: February 2021

Entre territorialisme brut et assimilationniste et personnalisme inachevé et évasif, le traitement du statut personnel en Droit international privé est appelé à emprunter une troisième voie mariant tolérance, libéralisme et clarté. Y puisant ainsi ses fondements théoriques principaux, le Droit musulman s’était toujours acharné à entretenir un multiculturalisme sincère. Les affaires familiales demeurant un terrain des plus propices à la mise en œuvre d’une telle entreprise, une démarche personnaliste, laxiste et libérale à l’infini, reconnaissant sans réserve les particularités culturelles des minorités et repoussant le recours aux techniques d’exclusion et de négation de l’autre, avait vu le jour depuis les premiers moments de l’histoire de ce Droit. Depuis lors, un accueil ultralibéral des institutions familiales étrangères s’inscrivait dans le prolongement d’une tradition millénaire soutenue, et ayant fortement résisté au fil des siècles aux tentations territorialistes d’un Droit international ne cessant de développer un égocentrisme outrancier. Ses fondements légaux sont d’une clarté, d’une précision et d’une simplicité frappante, qu’il serait impossible de les outrepasser sans violer l’esprit même du dogme juridique central charpentant une telle tradition.
Rosa Luxemburg: reformismo, democracia y conciencia revolucionaria
Authors: Martínez-Matías Paloma
Published: February 2021

Con el objetivo de mostrar la relevancia y actualidad de la obra teórica de Rosa Luxemburg, el artículo analiza tres de sus temáticas fundamentales. En primer lugar, su crítica a la deriva reformista de la socialdemocracia contra su original intención revolucionaria, confirmada en su validez por la evolución del capitalismo. En conexión con ello, su tesis de que la posibilidad de la realización de la democracia se encuentra estrictamente vinculada al proyecto revolucionario. Y, por último, su reivindicación de que la existencia de dicho proyecto depende de que el proletariado adquiera un conocimiento teórico sobre el funcionamiento del capitalismo que debe serle transmitido por el partido revolucionario.

Authors: Obure Alfredo , Nyambedha Erick , Oindo Boniface , Kodero Hezborn
Published: February 2021

Male circumcision (MC) is now recommended as an additional HIV preventive measure, yet little is known about factors that may influence its adoption, especially in non-circumcising communities with generalized HIV pandemic. This qualitative study explored factors influencing MC adoption in rural western Kenya. Twenty-four sex specific focus group discussions were conducted with a purposive sample of Luo men and women (15-34 years). Perceived barriers to circumcision were pain and healing complications, actual and opportunity costs, behavioral disinhibition, discrimination, cultural identity, and reduced sexual satisfaction; perceived facilitators were hygiene, HIV/STI risk reduction, ease in condom use, cultural integration, and sexual satisfaction. To enhance MC adoption, community education, and dialogue is needed to address the perceived fears.
Developing Understanding of Research-based Pedagogy with Preservice Teachers: An Instrumental Case Study
Authors: Laframboise Kathyrn , Shea Kim
Published: February 2021

Preservice teachers have difficulty incorporating research-based instructional strategies and often revert to those observed during their own school years. This study describes how preservice teachers used a framework of planning, implementation, feedback, and reflection to try research-based teaching practices from their methods courses and examine their notions of effective pedagogy. This instrumental case study of 50 preservice teachers in a two-day-per-week field experience includes intensive interviews of six selected students. Findings include kinds of support reported as helpful in implementing new instructional strategies, difficulties experienced in the implementation of strategies, and new understandings of effective teaching during use of the framework. Participants used the framework to identify and examine preconceived notions of effective pedagogy, but also revealed some unplanned learnings.
Analyzing Qualitative Data about Hospitalized Children: Reflections on Bodily Expressions
Authors: McLaren Coralee
Published: February 2021

Although considerable energy is invested in ensuring that pediatric hospital environments are psychosocially supportive, few researchers have connected the experiences of patients to hospital architecture, a crucial interface between healthcare delivery and patient care. Seeking to uncover childrens experiences within a contemporary hospital, I draw on data gathered during a photo walking tour with hospitalized children. Findings suggest that in addition to speaking, children express themselves physically by appropriating the gaze, pressing boundaries and finding alternate spaces. New methods and techniques are needed to reveal childrens physical competencies and abilities to determine their environmental preferences.

Korelasi Buah Roh Dan Ibadah
Authors: Pattinama Yenny Anita
Published: February 2021

Ibadah merupakan satu tuntutan bagi hidup setiap orang, hal ini berarti bahwa ibadah merupakan natur manusia yang adalah ciptaan Tuhan. Sebagai yang dicipta menurut gambar dan rupa Allah, di dalam diri manusia ada kebutuhan untuk menyembah sesuatu di luar dirinya, yang lebih besar atau lebih tinggi dari padanya yaitu penciptanya sendiri. Dalam kehidupan kekristenan totalitas hidup seorang Kristen merupakan ibadah. Ibadah tersebut akan berkenan dihadapan Tuhan apabila dilakukan dalam tuntuan dan pimpinan Roh Kudus. Apabila seseorang menyerahkan dirinya dikuasai dan dipimpin oleh Roh Kudus maka hidupnya akan memunculkan buah Roh dengan sembilan cita rasa yang tentunya memuliakan Tuhan dan juga memberkati sesama.

 

Worship is a demand for everyone's life, this means that worship is a human nature that is God's creation. As created in the image and likeness of God, in man there is a need to worship something outside himself, which is greater or higher than him, the creator himself.

In the Christian life the totality of a Christian's life is worship. The service will be pleasing before God if it is done in the direction and direction of the Holy Spirit. If a person surrenders himself to be controlled and led by the Holy Spirit then his life will bring forth the fruit of the Spirit with nine tastes which certainly glorifies God and also blesses others.
Prinsip Filsafat Sebagai Ancilia Theologiae Dan Kontribusinya Bagi Mahasiswa Sekolah Tinggi Theologia
Authors: Butar-butar Marlon
Published: February 2021

Filsafat lahir sejak manusia mulai berpikir, karenanya perannya sangatlah penting dalam hidup dan kemajuan manusia. Tidak ada penemuan tanpa didahuli proses bertanya dan mencari jawabannya. Di sanalah filsafat memainkan peran. Karena itu manusia modern tidak mungkin meninggalkan filsafa. Filsafat tidak menyelidiki salah satu segi dari kenyataan saja, melainkan apa-apa saja yang menarik perhatian manusia. Komposisi filsafat mengandung pertanyaan mengenai asal-usul dan tujuan, tentang hidup dan kematian, tentang hakikat manusia. Sederhananya, berfilsafat adalah kegiatan untuk mencari tahu. Dalam perkembangannya filsafat telah mendominasi ratio manusia untuk menetukan benar salah suatu pemikiran. Perkembangan ini pun sangat dimanfaatkan oleh para ilmuwan, yang akhirnya benar-benar sangat mempengaruhi soal-soal spiritual, termasuk bidang teologia. Dalam sejarah dua bidang ini sangat kuat saling mempengaruhi hingga pada abad pertengahan hingga modern filsafat seolah meninggalkan teologia, akhirnya banyak pihak menjadi antipati terhadapnya, karena dianggap sebagai musuh teologia. Keadaan ini sangat mempengaruhi sikap dan minat belajar mahasiswa di mana penulis berkecimpung, karenanya sebagai satu refleksi tulisan ini dibuat agar dapat mengembalikan peran filsafat dalam teologia.

Philosophy was born since humans began to think, therefore its role is very important in human life and progress. There is no discovery without the process of asking questions and finding the answers. That's where philosophy plays a role. Therefore, modern humans can not leave philosophers. Philosophy does not investigate just one aspect of reality, but anything that attracts human attention. The philosophical composition contains questions about the origin and purpose, about life and death, about human nature. Simply put, philosophy is an activity to find out. In its development, philosophy has dominated the human ratio to determine whether a thought is correct. This development was greatly utilized by scientists, who ultimately really greatly influenced spiritual matters, including the field of theology. In the history of these two fields very strongly influenced each other until the Middle Ages to modern philosophy as if leaving theology, eventually many parties became antipathy towards it, because it was considered an enemy of theology. This situation greatly affects the attitudes and students' interest in learning where the author is involved, therefore as a reflection this paper is made in order to restore the role of philosophy in theology.

KRISTUS YANG SUCI (Usaha Rancang Bangun Kristologi Bagi Keyakinan Leluhur Batak/Parmalim)
Authors: Butar-butar Marlon
Published: February 2021

Yesus Kristus adalah Tuhan dan penyelamat, sebuah credo yang paling tua dalam sejarah Kristologi. Masyarakat Eropa sangat memahami credo ini, memang proses lahir dan berkembangnya pengakuan ini menjadi satu doktrin telah melewati perjalanan perdebatan panjang. Credo ini dibawa orang Kristen Eropa ke berbagai negera ke mana mereka pergi. Ternyata respon yang muncul sangar beragam, kendati kalimat credo ini masih tetap dapat diterjemahkan ke dalam berbagai bahasa, namun usaha untuk membangun keyakinan yang sama dengan tempat di mana credo ini dimunculkan, tidak segampang menjelaskan arti kalimatnya secara etimologi dan terminologi. Untuk membangun pemahaman mengenai Kristus dengan segala predikatnya, memerlukan usaha yang harus memahami cultur masyarakat itu. Jika tidak maka pemahaman terhadap Yesus Kristus akan memiliki rumusan yang berbeda-beda. Usaha menjelaskan Kritus dengan berbagai identitas dan predikatnya akan mengalami kesulitan jika hanya memaksakan pengertian yang terkandung di dalamnya. Ternyata setiap masyarakat di dunia ini memiliki kerangka berpikir yang dapat memudahkan orang memahami konsep Kristus. Demikian dengan masyarakat Asia pada umumnya, yang kita pahami sangat religius, bagi masyarakat Asia sesungguhnya tidak asing dengan cerita dewa yang menjelma, dewa yang melakukan berbagai perbuatan sakti, dewa yang menuntut para pengikutnya untuk taat dan setia.

 

Jesus Christ is God and savior, the oldest credo in the history of Christology. European society really understands this credo, indeed the process of birth and development of this recognition into a doctrine has gone through a long debate. This creed was brought by European Christians to various countries where they went. It turns out that the responses that emerge are fierce, although this credo sentence can still be translated into various languages, but efforts to build the same belief in the place where the credo is raised, it is not easy to explain the meaning of the sentence etymologically and terminologically. To build an understanding of Christ with all its predicates, it requires effort that must understand the culture of the community. If not, then understanding of Jesus Christ will have a different formula. Efforts to explain Christ with its various identities and predicates will experience difficulties if they only force the understanding contained therein. It turns out that every society in the world has a frame of mind that can make it easier for people to understand the concept of Christ. Likewise with Asian society in general, which we understand to be very religious, for Asian people are actually no strangers to stories of incarnate gods, deities who perform various acts of magic, deities who demanded their followers to be obedient and loyal.
Konsep Melunakkan Hati Tuhan 2 Tawarikh 33: 10-13
Authors: Kusradi Sri Wahyuni
Published: February 2021

Kitab Tawarikh mengisahkan tentang perjalanan sejarah Israel beserta dengan para raja yang memerintah bangsa itu. Jatuh bangunnya seorang raja akan juga mempengaruhi kehidupan dan keberuntungan umat dalam perjalanan sejarah mereka. Salah seorang raja yang besar namun jahat digambarkan dengan jelas dalam kitab ini, dan bagaimana akhirnya dia bertobat dan menyesali keberdosaannya di hadapan Allah sehingga dia dapat “melunakkan hati Tuhan. Melunakkan hati Tuhan adalah istilah yang dipergunakan dalam 2Tawarikh 33:12-13 yang menunjukkan tindakan seseorang untuk berdoa memohon kepada TUHAN Allah. Walaupun sering disalahpahami, apakah Allah bisa digoyahkan keputusannya? Maka tulisan ini akan membahas bahwa hal tersebut adalah didasarkan pada kemurahan hati Allah yang didasarkan karena keputuan Allah sendiri, berdasarkan kasih setia Allah pada perjanjian-Nya kepada umat dan kesetiaan-Nya terhadap hukum-hukum-Nya yang menuntut perendahan hati, pengakuan dan penyerahan diri umat kepada Allah mereka. Hal-hal apa yang dibahas dalam frasa “melunakkan hati Tuhan” memberi gambaran bagaimana umat sekarang harus bersikap.

 

The Chronicles tells about the history of Israel along with the kings who ruled the nation. The rise and fall of a king will also affect the lives and fortune of the people in the course of their history. One of the great but evil kings is clearly illustrated in this book, and how he finally repented and regretted his sinfulness before God so that he could "soften the heart of God.

Softening the heart of God is a term used in 2 Chronicles 33: 12-13 which shows a person's actions to pray for the Lord God. Although often misunderstood, can God shake his decision? So this paper will discuss that it is based on God's generosity based on God's own decision, based on God's loyal love for His covenant to the people and His loyalty to His laws which demand humility, recognition and surrender people to their God. What matters discussed in the phrase "softening the heart of God" illustrates how people must now behave.

Berteologi atau Doing theology merupakan respon iman dari setiap orang yang menyadari keberadaan Allah dalam hidupnya. Dinamika dari teologi telah menghasilkan berbagai corak dalam berteologi. Di mana corak tersebut sangat dipengaruhi oleh pemikiran-pemikiran teologi yang berabad-abad telah muncul dan mempengaruhi banyak teolog di dunia ini untuk “berekspresi” dalam berteologi, termasuk di Indonesia. Dalam tulisan ini, akan menyajikan doing theology yang ada di bumi Indonesia, yang berangkat dari rentetan sejarah pemikiran dan fenomena-fenomena berteologi masa kini.

Doing theology is a faith response from everyone who realizes the existence of God in his life. The dynamics of theology have produced various patterns in theology. Where the pattern is greatly influenced by centuries of theological thought has emerged and influenced many theologians in the world to "express" in theology, including in Indonesia.

In this paper, we will present doing theology on Indonesian soil, which departs from a series of historical thoughts and theological phenomena today.
Makna Ungkapan ”Karna Di Mana Hartamu Berada Di Situ Juga Hatimu Berada” Dalam Lukas 12: 34 Dan Implikasinya Bagi Pertumbuhan Iman Jemaat
Authors: Manafe Yanjumseby Yeverson
Published: February 2021

Harta benda merupakan berkat dari Tuhan, tetapi bagi orang Kristen harta benda bukanlah berkat terbesar, karena yang merupakan berkat terbesar ialah harta rohani. Makna ungkapan ”Karena di mana hartamu berada di situ juga hatimu berada” dalam Matius 12: 34, sangat penting untuk dipahami dalam kehidupan dan pertumbuhan iman jemaat. Karena akan berdampak buruk bagi orang percaya dalam kehidupannya jika orang percaya mengutamakan harta dunia ini. Selanjutnya orang Kristen yang mengabaikan harta rohani dan yang melekatkan hatinya pada harta dunia akan mengakibatkan kemerosotan dalam iman, sebab hidupnya lebih memprioritaskan harta dunia dari pada Tuhan Allah yang jelas-jelas sebagai sumber harta tersebut.

Oleh karena itu bukan harta yang menjadikan orang Kristen berdosa, melainkan sikap hati manusia terhadap materi itulah yang menjadikan seseorang diperbudak oleh harta sehingga jatuh dalam dosa dan meninggalkan Tuhan.

Property is a blessing from God, but for Christians, the greatest blessing is property, because it is the greatest blessing of spiritual treasure. The meaning is taken "Because where your treasure is there also your heart is" in Matthew 12: 34, it is very important to understand in the life and growth of the faith of the church. Because it will be bad for believers in their lives if believers put the treasure of this world first. Furthermore, Christians who give up spiritual treasures and who are attached to world treasures will release deterioration in the faith, because they prioritize world treasures rather than the Lord God who is clearly the source of these treasures.

Therefore it is not a treasure that makes Christians sin, preferring a human heart to material things that make a person enslaved by possessions fall into sin and leave God.

Authors: Kaseke Fanny Y. M.
Published: February 2021

Masalah lingkungan hidup kini mendapat perhatian serius. Karena itu teolog Kristen berusaha membuat ataupun merevitalisasi doktrin tentang lingkungan hidup. Di saat pandemic covid 19,  sepertinya kualitas lingkungan hidup meningkat karena manusia “beristirahat” akibat wabah yang terjadi. Di dalam Alkitab hari Sabat dan tahun Sabat dirancang Allah sedemikian rupa untuk mengatur istirahat manusia dan istirahat lahan (lingkungan) dari aktivitas di atasnya. Pada tulisan ini diulas hubungan Sabat dalam Alkitab dengan pandemic covid 19 yang menyebabkan berhentinya aktivitas manusia. Metode yang digunakan adalah  metode penelitian teologi filosofika dengan didahului tafsir secara eksegesis. Hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa ada kesamaan antara Sabat dalam Alkitab dengan pandemic covid 19. Kesamaan bukan secara substansial tetapi pada efek yang muncul akibat kedua hal ini.

 

 

ABSTRACT

_______________________________________________________________

Environmental problems are now receiving serious attention. Therefore Christian theologians try to create or revitalize doctrines about it. At the time of the COVID 19 pandemic, it seemed that the quality of the environment improved because people were "resting" due to the plague. In the Bible, the Sabbath was designed by God in such a way to regulate human rest and land rest (environment) from the activities above it. In this paper, a review of the Bible's Sabbath relationship with the COVID 19 pandemic caused human activity to cease. The method used is a philosophical theology research method with an exegetical interpretation preceded. The results of the study found there is a similarity between Sabbath in the Bible with the COVID 19 pandemic. That similarity is not substantial but on the effects that arise due to these two things.
Section 45 of the Tax Administration Act: An unconstitutional limitation on taxpayer privacy?
Authors: Moosa Fareed
Published: February 2021

The Tax Administration Act 28 of 2011 is a law of general application. Section 45 of the Act empowers a SARS official to enter, without a warrant, premises where a trade or enterprise is reasonably believed to be carried on in order to conduct an inspection aimed at gathering information that will aide SARS in determining whether the business operator is compliant with tax obligations. In a constitutional democracy, the enjoyment of fundamental rights has a high premium. Accordingly, every lawful exercise of the power conferred by s 45 must take place in an orderly fashion, with decency and respect for taxpayers and their privacy. The state may not unduly interfere with this right, whether by withdrawing it altogether, abridging it, or diminishing its scope and ambit. This article hypothesises that inspections undertaken in terms of s 45 limit taxpayers’ privacy in a manner that may not pass muster under s 36(1) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996. On this basis, it is argued that, to cure its deficiencies, s 45 ought to be amended by the introduction of the provisions proposed in this article.

This article attempts to analyze the coastal community empowerment strategy of PT. Antam (Persero) Tbk UBPN Sultra’s CSR program. A company which engages in the mining industry should be aware of the impact caused by its activity. 53% of people living in coastal areas, especially for fisherman communities seen their icome decreased. This research used qualitative descriptive approach to examine the company, local government, yayasanbahari, and coastal communities beneficiaries as its unit analysis while also using data collection techniques such as interviews, observation, and documentation to filter the appropriate data. The sustainable economy-based coastal community empowerment program has been carried out since 2017 in 3 (three) villages in Pomalaa District, Kolaka Regency, Southeast Sulawesi. The findings of this research are: a) there is social jealousy between groups of fisherman due to difference in ethnical identities of Bugis, Bajo, and Makassar tribes. This conflict is known as primordial conflict and can be reduced by the creation of trust via interaction between YayasanBahari and coastal communities; b) there is class conflict between the boss and labor fisherman. The interaction between the two is known as the patron-client relationship that has lasted for a long time and has prevent the coastal communities to become self-sustaining.

The increase in demand for wood for various purposes has put serious pressure on Nigeria’s forest with its attendant fall in the supply of solid wood for construction purposes. As an alternative, non-woody material like banana stem fibre is being investigated for the production of Cement Bonded Particle Board (CBPB). The sorption and strength properties of CBPB from Musa spp fibre were assessed. The board samples were formed using cement to materials mixing ration of 2:1 and 3:1 and blending proportions of sawdust and banana fibre using ordinary Portland cement as a binder. Physical and Mechanical properties of boards produced from stem using were investigated. The influence of blending proportion (B.P) and mixing ratio (MR) on Density, Water Absorption (WA), Thickness Swelling (TS), Linear Expansion, Modulus of Rupture (MOR), and Modulus of Elasticity (MOE) were determined. The results of sorption properties showed that for immersion at 24, 48, and 72 hours, WA, TS, and LE decreased with an increase in mixing ratio. MOE mean values ranged between 293.65 and 2367.01 N/mm2 for 2:1 and 250.99 and 2009.28 N/mm2 for 3:1 while MOR values ranged between 2.55 and 7.592 N/mm2 for 2:1 and ranged from 0.55 to 1.40 N/mm2 for 3:1 respectively. The result proved that banana fibre is suitable for the production of panel products with enhanced strength properties.
Is Geothermal Power Plant (PLTP) on Mount Slamet Necessary?
Authors: Biko Nabih Fikri Zufar  , Ahmad Fadli Azami
Published: February 2021

This article intends to reflect on the construction of a Geothermal Power Plant (PLTP) on Mount Slamet. The construction of the PLTP has been rejected by the Banyumas community, especially the slope communities there. During the exploration process for the power plant, the people on the slopes of Mount Slamet experienced various impacts. Starting from the murky water, forest animals entering the villages, so that material losses cannot do business. This article reviews the phenomenology of how important the development of PLTP is in the midst of a surplus of electricity in Java Island. The findings in this article identify flaws in procedures from planning to implementation. The plan is to do legal acrobatics so that it is easy to get project permits. When doing exploration, it has a significant impact on the community on the slopes of Mount Slamet. Therefore the article tries to provide suggestions or input to local and central governments for; make an objective Environmental Impact Analysis (AMDAL), involve professional parties to conduct academic studies, involve the community or NGOs when determining the PLTP project, conduct intensive and periodic outreach to the community, and provide compensation to the affected communities.
