Perkembangan dunia konstruksi di era global semakin pesat yang dalam pelaksanaannya terkadang dihadapkan dengan beberapa kendala diantaranya kendala waktu, biaya, dan mutu, ketiga kendala ini bisa diartikan sebagai sasaran proyek yang dapat didefinisikan sebagai tepat waktu, tepat biaya, tepat mutu. Risiko proyek merupakan suatu keadaan tidak pasti pada proyek sehingga dapat menimbulkan adanya konsekuensi yang bisa menghalangi atau menghambat tercapainya sasaran utama proyek. Proyek pembangunan gedung biasanya sering mengalami keterlambatan, baik itu disebabkan oleh keterbatasan tenaga kerja, maupun ketidaktersediaan peralatan konstruksi di lokasi proyek.
Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan pengidentifikasian risiko-risiko untuk mengetahui risiko yang sangat dominan terhadap biaya dan waktu pelaksanaan proyek pembangunan RSUD Tipe D Kota Kendari, untuk selanjutnya dilakukan analisis risiko yang terjadi. Kemudian dilakukan suatu tindakan mitigasi yang tepat terhadap risiko pada proyek, sehingga proyek dapat segera terselesaikan. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode severity indeks.
Dari hasil penelitian, terdapat 4 risiko paling dominan dengan kategori tinggi diantaranya perubahan jadwal pelaksanaan pekerjaan, ketersediaan tenaga kerja yang kurang, rendahnya tingkat produktivitas tenaga kerja, serta kurangnya pengendalian terhadap jadwal pelaksanaan pekerjaan.

Kata Kunci : Proyek, Manajemen Risiko, Kinerja Waktu, Severity Indeks
ABSTRACT
The development of the world of construction in the global era is increasing rapidly which in its implementation is sometimes faced with several obstacles including time, cost, and quality constraints. These three constraints can be interpreted as project targets which can be defined as on-time, on cost, and on quality. Project risk is an uncertain situation in the project so it can cause consequences that can hinder or hinder the achievement of the main project objectives. Building construction projects often experience delays, either due to limited manpower or the unavailability of construction equipment at the project site.
This research was carried out by identifying risks to find out the very dominant risks to the cost and time of implementation of the Type D Hospital construction project in Kendari City, for further analysis of the risks that occur. Then appropriate preventive action is taken against risks in the project so that the project can be completed immediately. The method used in this study is the severity index method.

El clembuterol es un agonista del grupo β-adrenérgico que suele utilizarse en el sector ganadero. Por las ventajas que tiene como agente anabólico, ya que influye en la mejora de la producción de carnes y por ende, en la venta de la misma. Sin embargo, ha causado intoxicaciones en la población que la consume, provocando temblores musculares, palpitaciones, taquicardia, ner-viosismo, dolor de cabeza, hasta mialgia. En México, se han emitido normas, como la NOM-EM-015-2002, que prohíben el uso del clembuterol en la ali-mentación del ganado. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar muestras de productos cárnicos de bovino, músculo e hígado, obtenidas en zonas del área de Cuernavaca, en el Estado de Morelos. Se desarrolló y validó el método de extracción y cuantificación de clembuterol por cromatografía de líquidos con detector ultravioleta-visible, siendo lineal, preciso y exacto; el límite de detección fue de 5.025 μg/mL, mientras que el de cuantificación fue de y 15.23 μg/mL, equivaliendo a 1.005 y 3.046 μg/kg respectivamente, lo que
permite la comparación con los límites máximos para residuos (LRM) de clembuterol en músculo e hígado establecido por la FAO. Se recolectaron y analizaron 88 muestras de músculo (pierna) y 18 de hígado de res en mercados municipales, carnice-rías y tiendas de auto servicio de la localidad, dividida en cinco zonas: centro, norte, sur, este y oeste. Se encontraron residuos de clembuterol en 49% de las muestras analizadas, cuyas cantidades encontradas sobrepasan el límite máximo recomendado (LMR) por el Codex Alimentarius de la FAO. El valor promedio general de clembuterol en las muestras cuantificables de músculo, fue de 14.23 ± 13.64 μg/kg con valores que oscilan entre 3.06 y 52.4 μg/kg y para las muestras de hígado de 34.76 ±16.54 μg/kg, cuyos valores encontrados se encuentran entre 3.46 y 79.7 μg/kg.
J.S. Bach’s Cantata No. 150: Compositional Features and an Interpretation of the Literary text
Authors:   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music, Stogniy Irina S.
Published: December 2023

The article focuses on Bach's musical interpretation of Psalm 24 ‘Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich’ (For Thee, O Lord, I long) in Cantata No. 150 for choir, soloists and chamber orchestra. The approaches to research may differ depending on the artistic effect associated with the composer's embodi- ment of a word. At the same time, a study of artistic features should not limit itself to the literary text selected by the composer alone. It should consider what was discarded, since the unselected enhances the meaning of what is chosen. This approach to study a work that involves a literary text is feasible as it facil- itates a more effective understanding of the author's arrangement of semantic accents. In our case, the composer discarded the verses about human sins that comprise most of Psalm 25. Instead, he laid an emphasis on the idea of salva- tion. What is even more important is the composer's way to translate words into music: he transforms the material from the conceptual sphere into sound and the discarded literary material finds its embodiment in music forming a new kind of holistic utterance that is different from the biblical text.
Bach’s “Fours”
Authors:   Saint-Petersburg Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatory, Yuzhak Kira I.
Published: December 2023

The grouping of pieces is the matter of concern for both composers and researchers. For the former, it manifests itself already in the titles of collections, while for the latter it is an impetus for a comprehensive study of hidden mechanisms behind composers’ thinking. A.Milka in his article Bach’s Sixes (1999) identified several ways Bach approached the grouping of works. However, in his large cyclical opuses another “measure” stands out: the four, formed by canons (Die Kunst der Fuge) or duettos loaded by canonical work (Clavier Übung III). By way of a reminder, Bach’s canons are usually grouped by ten and/or four: Einige Canonische Verænderungen, BWV769, contains four contrapuntal canons (variations I–IV) and four thematic ones (variation V); Musicalisches Opfer features ten canons: six countrapunctal and four thematic; Verschiedene Canones, BWV1087, includes 14 canons written in groups of four, six and four canons. In fact, the grouping of four is not limited to Bach’s canons alone: he is known for numerous four-part suites and sonatas. So, it is not surprising that four orchestral suites, created in different years, were collected and numbered by W. Schmieder as a specific group of four. Research should focus on how Bach organises his compositions in groups of four, but also how, under the pressure of circumstances, he himself violates his plans (e.g., his engraving of Musicalisches Opfer and Die Kunst der Fuge). Whatever approach to grouping we take, a question begs itself: what provides diversity and what facilitates integrity? A.Milka answered this question through his analysis of the “sixes”. This article is an attempt to approach the Bach’s “fours”. The internal organisation of the “four” depends on its context: in a contrasting environment, it demonstrates the diversity of its components, in a balanced environment, it is organized in the order of the main technical characteristics. The functional and semantic content of the “fours” depends on how they are presented in a large cycle: together or in random order. In the first case, the highlight is the difference between the “four” and the pieces surrounding it. In the second case, it strengthens the structure of the whole, as its part, from inside.

Silver Diamine Fluoride: Clinical Tips
Authors: Timms Laura JH
Published: December 2023

Caries continues to be a public health problem worldwide, and the prevention and conventional treatment of carious lesions may present challenges. Caries into dentine in primary teeth is common, with 30% of five-year-olds having dental caries in Ireland.1 In young children, there can be barriers to using some of the evidence-based recommended techniques to restore carious teeth. Reasons for this include access, co-operation and age. Similarly, root caries, commonly found in older adults, can be challenging to manage conventionally, particularly where the caries rate is high and there are access barriers or medical comorbidities.

Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is an alternative option to treat such cases where conventional methods are not appropriate or achievable for the patient.
Decompressive Craniectomy Versus Cisternostomy in Traumatic Intracranial Hypertension. Systematic Review
Authors:   First degree specialist in Neurosurgery, Assistant Professor, University of Medical Sciences of Matanzas, Neurosurgery Team, Nyangabgwe Referral Hospital, Botswana., Sierra Benitez Enrique Marcos
Published: December 2023

To compare the usefulness of decompressive craniectomy versus cisternostomy in the surgical management of Traumatic Intracranial Hypertension was the objective of the present bibliographic review. A search was carried out for articles in journals from the databases: PubMed, Scielo and EBSCO. The key words used were: intracranial hypertension, severe craniocerebral trauma, decompressive craniectomy and cisternostomy. Searches were conducted with these terms in English and Spanish. Articles with the full text were consulted, published mainly between 2015 and 2023 in Spanish or English, although in multicenter and multinational studies with high global impact on the topic, the year of publication was not taken into account, given the importance of its inclusion in the present review. Articles that reflected controversies about Decompressive Craniectomy and Cisternostomy as a measure in ICH refractory to medical treatment were selected with priority. Decompressive craniectomy and Cisternostomy are surgical methods that have been shown to reduce intracranial pressure and mortality in patients with traumatic intracranial hypertension refractory to medical therapy, although decompressive craniectomy presents a higher and more reliable level of evidence than cisternostomy, the new mechanisms for reducing intracranial pressure in the latter procedure seem promising in the near future.
Prediction of California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of Stabilized Expansive Soils with Agricultural and Industrial Waste Using Light Gradient Boosting Machine
Authors: Van Quan  , Do Hai Quan
Published: December 2023

Using agricultural and industrial waste such as bagasse ash, groundnut shell ash and coal ash in stabilizing expansive soils are used as a subgrade material to reduce harmful impaction of swelling/shrinkage of expansive soils, reduce construction costs. It is also a solution for environmental protection. California Bearing Ratio (CBR) is an important criterion to evaluate the application technique of stabilized expansive soil such as road construction, building construction, highway construction, airport construction, etc. Using the traditional method such as experimental methods or empirical approach, the estimation of CBR of stabilized expansive soils is costly, time consuming for the experiment or low accuracy for empirical method. In this investigation, open-source code of Machine Learning technique Light Gradient Boosting Machine algorithm is introduced to predict the CBR. In order to build model, data of 207 experimental samples was synthesized from the literature to create a database.
The database consists of 6 input variables (ash content, ash type, liquid limit LL, plastic limit PL, optimum moisture content OMC and maximum dry density MDD) to obtain output variable CBR. The results show that the LightGBM model can successfully predict the CBR of stabilized expansive soils with high accuracy. The ash content is the most important input factor for CBR prediction using LightGBM model. In order of importanc input factor affecting CBR prediction are ash content, MDD, ash type, OMC, LL, PL.

The input factors considered the changes in eleven variables, including the contents of cement, fly ash, blast furnace slag, silica fume, superplasticizer, water, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, annual mean temperature, chloride concentration in seawater, and exposure time. The results indicate that EDT Boosted is a good predictor of  as verified via good performance evaluation criteria, i.e., R2, RMSE, MAE, MAPE values were 0.84, 0.16, 0.17, and 17%, respectively. Partial dependence plot (PDP) was then developed to correlate the eleven input variables with the . PDP implied that the strongest factor affecting Cs was the amount of fine aggregate content, chloride concentration, exposure time, amount of cement, and water, which is useful for material engineers in the design of the grade.
Prediction of compressive strength of concrete at high heating conditions by using artificial neural network-based Bayesian regularization
Authors: Hadzima-Nyarko Marijana , Trinh Son Hoang
Published: December 2023

Cement concrete is the most commonly used material today for constructing residential or commercial buildings, industrial parks, or particular components such as tunnel slabs where there is a high risk of fire. This structure requires concrete to be subjected to high temperatures generated by fires. However, concrete under the influence of high temperature has very complex behavior states with deformations, physical and chemical changes as the temperature rises dramatically. In this study, an artificial neural network-based Bayesian regularization (ANN) model is proposed to predict the compressive strength of concrete. The database in this study includes 208 experimental results synthesized from laboratory experiments with 9 input variables related to temperature change and design material composition. The performance of the ANN model was evaluated using K-fold cross-validation and statistical criteria, including mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), and coefficient of determination (R2). The results show that the proposed ANN model is a reasonable, highly accurate, and useful prediction tool for saving time and minimizing costly experiments.

Rice stands as a pivotal economic crop in Ebonyi State, particularly flourishing in Ikwo Local Government Area. However, the productivity of this vital crop faces significant challenges owing to pestilence and diseases. This study sought to employ advanced PLANTIX image analysis software to systematically screen rice farms suspected of disease infestations within Okpuitumo Community. The aim was to precisely identify prevalent diseases impacting the region's rice cultivation. Leveraging the iterative capabilities of the PLANTIX smartphone application, images of afflicted rice leaves were meticulously examined to identify specific disease types and quantify their severity. The study meticulously selected four villages—Anumocha, Odeligbo, Ettam, and Ogidiga—with three farms per village and five sampling points per farm, employing rigorous randomization protocols. The findings showcased a hierarchy of prevalent rice diseases within the community, highlighting the severity in the following descending order: Potassium deficiency (40%), Brown spot disease (38.33%), Magnesium deficiency (31.67%), Nitrogen deficiency (26.67%), Rice blast (6.67%), Zinc deficiency (5%), Bacterial blight (3.33%), Green horned caterpillar (1.67%), and Leaf scald (1.67%). Notably, the study underscored soil nutrient depletion and the prevalence of brown spot disease as primary impediments to rice cultivation in the area. Consequently, the study advocates for the implementation of robust soil nutrient restoration strategies alongside the development of brown spot disease-resistant or tolerant rice varieties that harmoniously align with the local agro-ecology. These interventions are imperative to safeguard the burgeoning population and the farming community against exacerbating food security crises and persistent poverty challenges

Neotraditionalism and Innovations in Kazakh Instruments and Music-Making
Authors: Nedlina Valeriya
Published: December 2023

In the XX and XXI centuries, Kazakh music went through three waves of innovations: first, after centuries of solo-only performance, ensembles and orchestras appeared in the first decades of the Soviet period. Then, ethnographic, iconographic, and archaeological research brought back to life lost or nearly-forgotten instruments in 1970-80s, and in the 2000s new types of ensembles and neo-folk instruments appeared under global influences. All these changes were driven by two opposite tendencies: intensive cross-cultural interaction (primarily on the West-East axis) met the growing interest to the nation’s past. This neotraditional mindset influences, on the one hand, to music instrument-making, on the other hand, to performance practice.
In the first wave, the need for creating the orchestra of Kazakh folk instruments, declared by Akhmet Zhubanov, caused the foundation of the workshop where standardized dombra (plucked lute chordophone) and qobyz (bowed lute chordophone) were created together with their modernized cousins (prima, alto and bass versions). During the second wave, such prominent scholars as Bolat Sarybayev turned to a restoration of the lost instruments (sherter, zhetygen, saz syrnai, percussionand so on) that were later included in orchestras and ensembles and even institutionalized within the conservatoire’s classes. The third wave is strongly associated with various kinds of popular music. Some ensembles (as Turan and Hassak) moved toward the World music style, others (as Aldaspan) experimented in electronic and rock directions.
So, it is obvious that all three waves are interconnected. Unification and experiments with materials in the early Soviet period, as well as the creation of special workshops and laboratories for folk music, have created a systematic cycle of research and reconstructions.

Technological advancement has been revolutionizing the way companies conduct business in various industries around the world, particularly banking. The use of mobile phones and the internet has increased the trend toward online banking in both developed and developing countries.   The adoption of online banking by consumers in developing countries, though, has been slower than in developed countries.  Beginning with a review of the literature on the development and implementation of online banking in general and in developing countries in specific, this paper analysed Ghana’s efforts to speed up the adoption and usage of online banking services in its banks and by its citizens. The findings revealed that security concerns and the challenges of carrying out individual transactions were problematic to the average customer. Customers reported that slow transaction times, internet accessibility, and even online banking operation difficulties were frustrating. The research findings were of significance to developers on online banking services with respect to planning and implementing online banking portals. The results also were beneficial for both practitioners and academics to give them a sense of the depth, direction, and acceptance of online banking in this developing country.
Accessible Tourism to People with Disabilities in Africa: A Review of the Existing Literature
Authors: Kara Nasra
Published: December 2023

Although most of the African countries have laws and regulations that protect the rights of people with disabilities in every aspect of their lives, including leisure and tourism, people with disabilities still do not enjoy tourism attractions. The main objective of this study was to review the published articles in Google Scholar, EBSCOhost, and Science Directon African accessible tourism. The study specifically analyzed the extent to which the existing published studies have addressed accessibility in accommodation, transportation, destinations, and accessible amenities/recreation as well as in information. Based on a content analysis of the analyzed academic articles from both supply and demand sides, this study found out that most of the  African countries were still not capable of accommodating travellers with disabilities. Limited facilities at the tourist sites, negative attitudes toward disabled people, limited assistive technologies, inaccessible transport facilities as well as the provision of inaccurate and out of date travel information were among the key factors limiting travellers with disabilities from taking leisure trips to Africa tourist destinations. The African governments have to start preparing the environment conducive for the suppliers to start providing services that will offer a positive and memorable tourist experience to travellers with special needs.

The study assessed the role of age in the relationship between employees’ job satisfaction and organizational commitment among employees of a special mission organization in Rwanda. A cross-sectional survey design (N = 119) was used. The Hayes’ process macro v.3.5 (Model 1) was chosen over the ordinary least square techniques to run the moderation analysis. Job satisfaction was found to have a significant and positive effect on continuance and normative commitment, but a had significant negative effect on affective commitment. Age significantly positively affected overall organizational commitment, continuance and normative commitment. Age further significantly moderated the relationship between job satisfaction and overall organizational commitment, continuance and normative commitment but not affective commitment. The relationships were significant and positive for the younger employees but positive and insignificant for the older employees.  The results implied that for the organization to enhance employees’ commitment overall, the management should adopt measures that enhance job satisfaction among younger employees.

Authors: Alananga Samwel S. , Mutasa Felician
Published: December 2023

This study analysed the finance-growth nexus for countries in the East African Community (EAC) and the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC). This was done   an attempt to identify countries where Financial Sector Development (FSD) has the largest/least growth effect and the regional bloc moderation in such effect based on panel Error correction ARDL model.  The aggregate data were obtained from the World Development Indicators (WDI) for a total of 14 countries, five (5) of which being in the EAC and the rest being in the SADC.  The observations suggested that the regional bloc moderation effect transforms an otherwise insignificant effect of FSD on growth into a positive one specifically for broad money growth among the EAC member countries. This is a signal that a monetary union for EAC member countries could spur an overall welfare gain.  Growth-finance nexus however, exhibited short and long run trade-offs in countries within the SADC. In the short run there have been significant GDP growth responses as a result of FSD but such effect turns out to be detrimental in the long run.  As such difficult choices had to be made between addressing short run GDP volatility and achieving higher GDP growth in the SADC.

Authors: Kisawike Blandina
Published: December 2023

The aim of this study was to explore the factors influencing the ethnocentric tendencies to Tanzanian consumers towards purchasing domestic anti-malarial remedies. A case research design was adopted which helped to discover ideas and insights underlying consumers’ evaluation of anti-malarial remedies as far as consumer ethnocentrism was concerned. Purposive sampling was used to select 9 participants in this study. In this study, it was found out that the ethnocentric tendencies of Tanzanian consumers toward purchasing the domestic anti-malarial remedies were influenced by availability, affordability, quality and days of dosage of the anti-malarial remedies. The findings of this study were expected to provide health professional bodies with knowledge about ethnocentric tendencies of Tanzanian consumers towards purchasing domestic anti-malarial remedies. This would help them to boost the standard of the different domestic medical products and hence encourage Tanzanians to value their domestically produced anti-malarial remedies and other home  produced products.

Published: December 2023

Using the model of the marketing mix, this study assessed the effect of the marketing mix elements on the marketing performance of grapefruits in Tanzania. It was conducted at Hombolo Ward in Dodoma as one of the major grape-producing areas. Using a structured questionnaire, a simple random sample of 142 respondents was taken from a sampling frame of 220 grapefruit growers in the ward.  Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression analysis were used. Results indicated that price, product attributes, and place significantly affect the marketing performance of grapefruits. Promotion aspects on the other hand were found to have no significant effected. This indicated that the promotion was either inadequate or irrelevant, as evidenced by the lack of improved grapefruit marketing performance. This study recommended that an appropriate pricing strategy be implemented because it plays a significant role in grapefruit marketing performance. Since product attributes were found to strongly affect the marketing performance of grapefruits, it was recommended that producers should focus on improving product attributes such as quality and packaging. Finally, improvement of distribution infrastructure should be considered, since producers would be able to efficiently store, preserve, and deliver their products to the intended markets.

Authors: Matonya Juma
Published: December 2023

This study examined the relationship between brand experience and brand loyalty in the presence of word of mouth as the mediator variable. Specifically, the study examined the effect of brand experience on brand loyalty and word of mouth (WOM), determining the effect of word of mouth on brand loyalty, and determining the mediation effect of WOM in the link between brand experience and brand loyalty. The study used an explanatory research design. Random sampling was used to select a total of 299 mobile money services users. This study used a structured questionnaire to collect data. Structural equation modeling was applied for data analysis in which SmartPLS 3 was utilized. The results indicate that brand experience has a positive and significant effect on brand loyalty and WOM. The findings also revealed that WOM had a positive and significant effect on brand loyalty. It was also found out that WOM partially mediated the link between brand experience and brand loyalty. This study concluded that brand experience and WOM were predictors of brand loyalty. It was also concluded that WOM plays a mediating role in the link between brand experience and brand loyalty. Thus, this paper recommended that mobile money network operators (MNOs) should provide a unique experience on every consumer-brand touch-point and devise strategies that would promote WOM recommendations that in turn would generate loyalty.
Impact of State Controlled Consumptive Management Approach on Community Economic Benefits from Conserved Natural Resources in Tanzania: Case of the Great Mahale Ecosystem
Authors: Ngaruko Deus D.
Published: December 2023

This paper tried to answer the core question of whether protective management policies of natural resources can sustain the economic benefits expected from them by communities living around the natural resources in Tanzania. The paper is based on multiple linear regression analysis of cross-sectional data collected from 400 community members selected from 10 purposefully selected villages surrounding the Great Mahale Ecosystem in Western Tanzania, where a 3 A 1-4 scale questionnaire was administered. The findings revealed that, state-controlled consumption of firewood, logging and timbering had negative effects on potential community economic benefits from the natural resources. State-controlled access to firewood was the only variable that was found insignificant. The state-controlled consumptive policies on tourism and hunting, farming practices proximity to the conserved natural resource, wildlife games and wild fruits as well as access to medicinal plants were found to be beneficial to surrounding communities. The development of tourist hunting blocks would improve consumptive utilization not only under government-managed natural resources but also under communal-indigenous approach. There should also be an integration of consumptive and non-consumptive approaches such as sustainable timber harvesting to maximize community economic benefit.

Participation of individual investors in Dar es Salaam stock markets stands at 1%, which is very low compared to Kenya, which is currently at 4%. Thus, the study evaluated the level of awareness of individuals that explained their low participation in the Dar es Salaam stock exchange. Primary data were collected from 200 participants and 200 non-participants and analysed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression. Findings revealed that non-participant individuals had a low level of awareness regarding DSE and its activities compared to individual participants. Regarding voting and decision-making by shareholders, only 13% of participants were aware of this right. Financial awareness was also found out to be low among individuals. Binary logistic results indicated that awareness of DSE, awareness creation seminars, and access to media were likely to influence individuals' participation decisions. Thus, the study concluded that the level of awareness among individuals was deficient and affected their participation in the stock market. Therefore, the intensification of public awareness through seminars by DSE is essential. Also, DSE should increase the use of mobile trading platform and internet technologies to disseminate awareness information on investment opportunities for participation decision.
