Inundation Prediction Model Based On Land Use in Krukut Watershed
Authors: Mubangaol Boris Karlop , Irawan Agustinus Purna , Pranoto Wati A.
Published: January 2024

Purpose: Flooding is a problem in urban areas, particularly in the Krukut watershed. The causative factors are changes in land use, increased land conversion from dry land to watertight built-up land, and reduced water catchment areas. Various efforts to control inundation have been made, but the location of inundation has not been significantly reduced. As a result, a model is required to predict the occurrence of inundation so that it can be anticipated. This study will discuss a mathematical model for predicting inundation in the Krukut Watershed by considering rainfall, land use, and the drainage system.

Design/methodology/approach: Researchers gathered inundation data from trusted social media from 2010 to 2020, rainfall data from 2003 to 2018 from the Universitas Indonesia Campus station, and land use data from Citra Landsad in 2019. SPSS was used to analyze the data.

Findings: The analysis results show a solid positive correlation with the variable Building Open Area impermeable to inundation. According to the research findings, the inundation area is 0.17 km2. Compared to the EPA SWMM modeling results, the result is 0.21 km2 with a return period of 25 years, with an overall accuracy of 90,91% and a kappa accuracy of 67%. It means that the applied model produces an acceptable level of truth.

Research Topic: Evaluating the Venture Capital Growth, Impediments, and Prospects in Sub-Saharan Africa Nations
Authors: Kato Ahmed Idi
Published: January 2024

Purpose: Nowadays, is it internationally acknowledged that access to venture capital (VC) investment is central for market internationalisation, entrepreneurship development, job creation and economic growth. Although VC’s reputation is universally accepted among scholars and in academic literature, there is still a knowledge gap in Africa. The study intended mainly to explore why developing nations in Africa have not been fruitful at stimulating early-venture capital investment compared to the developed nations. We reflect a range of probable reasons that impede both foreign and domestic VC investment, including difficulties faced by the entrepreneurs in obtaining funding from VC firms.

Design/methodology/approach: Using multiple regression analysis, we examined data from 61 VC companies’ resident in East and Southern Africa from 2015-2021, coupled with in-depth interviews with twelve VC investors.

Findings: The study revealed that several early-stage firms lack the capacity to manage large tickets of above US$5 million. Second, the results affirm that the absorptive capacity and VCs’ geographical preference all combined significantly influence the growth of the VC industry, and this problem is heightened by government’s limited support to creating supportive policies that enhance SMEs’ growth.

Practical implications: The study offers good insights by suggesting direct government intervention in the form of instituting tax incentives on capital gains to inspire more foreign investors.

Integrating Business Principles in STEM Education: Fostering Entrepreneurship in Students and Educators in the US and Nigeria
Authors: Ewim Daniel Raphael Ejike
Published: January 2024

Integrating business principles into STEM education is crucial for preparing students to navigate the rapidly evolving global economy driven by technological advancements and innovation. This paper explores the significance of integrating business principles in STEM education and the potential benefits for students, educators, and the economy in both the United States and Nigeria. We examine successful initiatives and programs that foster entrepreneurship among STEM students and identify best practices for effectively teaching business concepts in STEM contexts. Challenges and barriers hindering the successful integration of business principles into STEM education are also discussed, including resistance to interdisciplinary education, limited resources and support for entrepreneurship, and balancing technical and business skill development. In order to address these challenges, we propose recommendations and best practices such as adopting effective pedagogical approaches, engaging industry and community partners, and creating a supportive culture for entrepreneurship within STEM institutions. In addition, this article identifies several potential research areas for the future. These include longitudinal studies on the effects of business-integrated STEM education on entrepreneurial outcomes, comparative analyses of different approaches, and assessments of the scalability and adaptability of successful initiatives across different countries. The promotion of entrepreneurship and business skills among STEM students can enhance their employability, career prospects and contribute to economic growth. This paper urges further research and action to support the development of the next generation of STEM-educated entrepreneurs who can drive innovation and economic growth globally, both in the United States and Nigeria.

Design/methodology/approach: Used a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach. Qualitative research is intended to understand phenomena related to what is experienced by research subjects, such as behavior, perceptions, motivations, and actions in a holistic manner.

Findings: Buying and selling transactions that used to be conventional with physical stores and a face to face system have now changed to digital or online based with a screen to face system. More and more businesses are providing products and services online without having to have a physical shop like conventional businesses in general. An online-based shop, also known as an online shop, is a business where consumers can buy products or services through an internet-based application or platform, without having to come to the shop and transact directly with the seller. However, online product and service transactions, especially online shops on social media (not via marketplace platforms) require the establishment of mutual trust between buyers and sellers. This condition is a challenge for online shops to be able to create a good brand image in order to gain the trust of consumers, thereby creating brand awareness. Therefore, in an effort to increase product sales, brand awareness is needed from consumers, so that business people can respond to market needs according to current developments and continue to survive in the midst of increasingly competitive business competition.

A Soft Systems Methodology Application to Promote the Multidimensional Model of e-Government Project Management in Indonesia’s Construction Services
Authors: Dewi Chomistriana , Agus Mulyono T. , Najid Najid
Published: January 2024

The Integrated Construction Services Information System (ICSIS) project is one of the Indonesian government's initiatives to meet public demand for better construction business services. Despite being in operation for approximately 6 (six) years, ICSIS performs poorly. Fragmented business processes, noninteroperable systems, and unaccountable data all demonstrate poor performance in this regard. With all the best efforts, ICSIS only reaches 12% of the total target users. This paper discusses a problem-structuring approach to problem analysis and comprehension, as well as the critical factors to consider through stakeholder interaction. From various perspectives, the results of this structuring phase using literature study, comparative analysis and soft systems methodology indicate that multidimensional factors must be considered in order to achieve the expected ICSIS values. This technique assists decision makers in developing a multidimensional model in ICSIS project management with the goal of fostering more dependable and long-term e-government in the construction services.

The main objective of this research is to improve the operating efficiency and performance of ship main engines by optimizing coolant flow. Improper coolant flow can cause excessive temperature rise in the engine, which in turn can reduce engine life and efficiency. In this research, the coolant flow control system is implemented using the fuzzy logic method. Fuzzy logic allows modeling that is more adaptive to parameter variations and uncertainties in the operational environment. Fuzzy rules are developed based on practical knowledge of experts and operational data related to the host machine. The test was carried out through a simulation using a water flow control circuit that supplies the coolant to the ship's main engine with the main components being an ESP32 microcontroller chip and three DS18B20 temperature sensors. The results of this research show that the use of fuzzy logic in regulating coolant flow is able to provide a faster and more accurate response to changes in engine operational conditions. This has the potential to increase cooling efficiency and prevent engine over-temperatures, which can ultimately increase the overall service life and performance of the host engine. The practical implications of the results of this research can be applied in the development of more intelligent and adaptive control systems for various types of host machines, with the potential to increase operating efficiency and reduce the risk of damage due to excessive temperatures
The Abridged Version For Fair Governance: The Essential Text Over the Historical Record that Transmits the Confucius’s Mind

Published: January 2024

“The Abridged version for fair Governance”(治平要覽, 1445) 150-volume, which was compiled by scholars from Hall of Worthies in Se-jong of Chosun dynasty, is a book for looking at the rise and fall of past kingdoms in China and national history. King Se-jong wanted to acquire political lessons from past history of China and Korea, and at the same time he tried to leave a core of Confucian politics to his descendants. This book has a characteristic that distinguishes it from the form of general historical books in that the ‘chronological records’ which specifies the Lunar calendar and the reign of the monarch, is intentionally omitted.
After completing the compilation of the book, Jung In-ji told Sejong, “This book is the Essential text over the historical record that transmits the Confucius’s mind.” This word originally came from A Commentary of The Spring and Autumn Annals written by Hu An-Guo in Song Dynasty.
This book is also like a political textbook or guide book provided for king's rule. and mainly adopted a principle that was reflected by Confucius's The spring and Autumn Annals(『春秋』) with a view of Confucianism. This thesis is a new perspective on the essential characteristics of “The Abridged version for fair Governance” based on the above facts.
A Study on current situation and assignment of utilizing Korean history digital materials

In this article, we reviewed several issues focusing on the current situation and assignment of using Korean history digital materials. In particular, limited to Korean history materials, we examined the current use and use of digital materials, as well as research for new expansion, from a historical perspective.
First, we discussed what role existing historical research could play in digitizing Korean history materials and what its historical significance was.
Next, in order to check the current state of utilization of Korean history digital materials, we used and analyzed the contents of the Korean history database of the National Institute of Korean History, which provides a variety of contents to date. The contents were largely examined through lists by era and type, which expanded the existing Korean history database data as much as possible, and also gave a glimpse of the expansion of non-literary data rather than literary data.
Next, as a starting point for the expansion of digital materials on Korean history, we sufficiently reviewed existing research results and raised the need to find new solutions. Among them, the field of ‘History electronic maps’ based on computerized historical information, the development strategy of the classic anthology system through computerization of Korean ancient texts, big data work using digital materials with the help of computers, visual materials and media. We observed that there are attempts to supplement the gaps in literature through data.
In addition, the writer attempted to address the issue of utilizing image data from old texts centered on 『Samguksagi』 and 『Samgukyusa』, namely, ‘Edition bibliography 板本書誌學’ as an alternative.
