Analysis of developer-concessionaire rates for a proposed new private commercial port model
Authors:   , Roa Perera Iván 
Published: July 2023

This investigation presents a study of the rates that generate economic flows between developers and concessionaires in the port sector based on the hypothesis that a private developer purchases the land on the waterfront and, with the approval of the state, creates a multi-activity port and concessions spaces to private operators. This thesis presents, therefore, the construction of a port and its business model through a private initiative.
For the model to be successful, certain contextual conditions must arise that characterise demand, prices and legal conditions, among other aspects. Having established the regulatory parameters of these contextual conditions, the economic flows generated by the various rates are studied and their importance relative to the developer and concessionaire are assessed through the construction of a mathematical model that allows the determinants to fluctuate and to study, on the basis of these fluctuations, the profitability of each one.
Moreover, within the model, a module has been created that enables the researcher to determine whether the concessionaire may be awarded discounts on their rates based on the performance in certain operational aspects. Both the mathematical model and rate correcting module are validated through their application in a practical case and, in this way, the importance of each rate and how the bonuses affect the performances of the developer and concessionaire are assessed.
La presente investigación aborda el estudio de los cánones que generan los flujos económicos promotor-concesionario/s en el ámbito portuario, partiendo de la hipótesis en la que un promotor privado adquiere terrenos en primera línea de mar y, con el beneplácito del Estado, crea un puerto multiactividades y concesiona espacios a operadores también privados. Se trata, por tanto, de la construcción de un puerto y de su modelo de negocio a partir de la iniciativa privada. Para que el modelo sea exitoso, deben darse unas condiciones de contorno determinadas que caracterizan demanda, precios y condicionantes legales, entre otros aspectos. Establecidos los parámetros reguladores de estas condiciones de contorno, se estudian los flujos económicos generados por los distintos cánones y se evalúa su importancia relativa para promotor y concesionario a partir de la construcción de un modelo matemático que permite hacer fluctuar los condicionantes y estudiar, en base a estas fluctuaciones, las rentabilidades de cada uno. Adicionalmente se crea dentro del modelo una parte que permite determinar si los concesionarios pueden obtener descuentos en sus cánones, en base al desempeño en determinados aspectos de su operativa. Tanto el modelo matemático como el modulo corrector del canon se validan a partir de la aplicación en un caso práctico y, de este modo, se evalúa la importancia de cada canon y como afectan las bonificaciones a las rentabilidades de promotor y concesionario.

Arabic language its teachers and intellectuals have been facing difficulties and obstacles for a long time in Nigeria, and these difficulties are often related to their profession, Unfortunately, this language has encountered obstacles that impede its tremendous growth and development, Professional problems are among the most challenges facing many teachers of Arabic and Islamic studies in the country. These challenges started from the Nigerian educational policy, where the Arabic language was placed in third place among the foreign languages used in the country, despite the large number of Muslims and those interested in the Arabic language, This is due to the lackadasical attitude of government towards Arabic and Islamic studies teachers, and for this reason it is difficult for them to compete side by side with their counterparts from other fields in terms of professional development. On that basis, this paper aims to discuss the professional problems and obstacles bedeviling Arabic and Islamic studies teachers in Nigeria, and also intends to bring forward some solutions and way forward to that obstacles.

Published: July 2023

Tulisan ini mengakaji masalah pendidikan Islam multikultural di sekolah umum dengan mengedepankan nilai-nilai agama, budaya dan sosial di sekolah, peserta didik dapat memiliki pemahaman agama, keberagaman dan perbedaan dalam hidup. Pentingnya pendidikan Islam multikultural diajarkan di sekolah umum, terlebih diera globalisasi yang ditandai kemajuan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi telah memberikan dampak positif dalam kehidupan. Namun disi lain kemajuan tersebut memberikan dampak negatif dalam kehidupan peserta didik.. Terjadinya sikap exklusif dan minimnya pemahaman tentang perbedaan, keberagaman, toleransi dan moderasi beragama termasuk pemahaman nilai-nilai agama dalam kehidupan peserta didik, menyebabkan terjadinya nilai-nilai multikultural di sekolah menjadi luntur dan hilang. Selain itu, pengaruh globalisasi setidaknya telah merusak watak dan karakter anak didik yang cenderung mengabaikan nilai-nilai keberagaman (kultur) dan toleransi atau sikap saling menghargai dan menghormati di lingkungan sekolah, sehingga tujuan ideal pendidikan yang membentuk anak didik yang cerdas dan terampil, serta memiliki pemahaman nilai-nilai agama, kultur, perbedaan, dan memiliki karakter tidak tercapai sebagaimana yang diharapkan. Pendidikan Islam multikultural diajarkan di sekolah umum menekankan pada adanya pengakuan dan penghormatan atas perbedaan-perbedaan yang memang tidak bisa dielakkan umat beragama manapun dan memperbaiki dari penekanan yang kuat pada ranah kognitif ke ranah afektif dan ranah psikomotorik serta peningkatan kualitas guru baik dari sudut pemahamannya atas agamanya sendiri maupun agama lain, sehingga mereka sendiri memiliki perspektif multiculturalisme yang tepat. Oleh karena itu. pendidikan Islam multikultural diajarkan di sekolah umum khususnya di SMA Negeri 2 Mataram. Hal ini penting agar peserta didik memiliki pemahaman tentang perbedaan, keberagaman, toleran, saling menghargai dan saling menerima dalam setiap perbedaan dalam hidup. Adapapun metodologi yang digunakan yaitu melakukan observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi serta ditunjang oleh berbagai referensi relevan sehingga memiliki nilai keilmiahan dalam penelitian. Tulisan ini mencoba memberikan tawaran atau solusi “bagaimana pendidikan islam multikultural diajarkan di sekolah sehingga membentuk pola pemahaman keagamaan yang inklusif (terbuka), toleran pada peserta didik.
Denetim Komiteleri ve Kurumsal Yönetim Uygulamaları Arasındaki İlişki: Kavramsal Analiz ve Teorik Çerçeve
Authors: Cengiz Selim 
Published: July 2023

Kurumsal yönetim kavramına yönelik uluslararası literatürde genel bir tanım bulunmamakla birlikte konuya ilişkin standartların belirlenmesi konusunda ciddi çalışmaları bulunan OECD tarafından yapılan tanım, genel kabul görmüş durumdadır. Bu tanıma göre kurumsal yönetim, işletmelerin sermayedar, üst düzey yöneticiler, yatırımcılar, finansal kaynak sağlayan kuruluşlar, ürün ve hizmet temin eden ve satın alanlar, kamu otoritesi ve diğer paydaşlarının hak ve yükümlülüklerini tespit eden ve paydaşlar arasındaki ilişkiyi düzenleyen yapılar bütünüdür. Kurumsal Yönetim ile ilgili ilk çalışma olan Cadbury Raporunda (1992), kurumsal yönetimin amaçları da açıklanmıştır. Söz konusu amaçlar, işletmeler için güvenli bir ortamın oluşturulması, işletme yönetiminin yasal kurallara uyması ve işletmenin amaçlarına uygun biçimde hareket etmesi, yönetim kurulunun hesap verilebilirlik ilkesine uyması, hissedarların yönetimdeki haklarının korunması şeklinde belirtilmiştir. Diğer yandan SPK, denetim komitesini; üst yönetim adına işletmenin muhasebe sisteminin, iç kontrol sisteminin işleyiş ve etkinliğinin gözetim faaliyetini üstlenen, bağımsız denetim firmasının seçiminden, bağımsız denetim raporunun hazırlanma sürecinin tamamında aktif rol alan bir yapı olarak tanımlanmaktadır. TÜSİAD ise denetim komitesini, kurumsal yönetim ilkeleri çerçevesinde işletmenin performansı ile ilgili yapılan her türlü iç ve bağımsız denetimin kaliteli, şeffaf şekilde yapılmasını amaçlayan ve muhasebe-finans, işletmenin yönetmelik ve prosedürlerini bilen, alanında deneyime sahip en az iki üyeden oluşan bir komite şeklinde tanımlamıştır. Kurumsal yönetimin başta risk yöneyimi olmak üzere iç denetim, bağımsız denetim, denetim komitesi, yönetim kurulu gibi pek çok yapıyla etkileşim halinde bulunmaktadır. Kurumsal yönetimin bir parçası olan denetim komiteleri, işletmeye ilişkin tarafların haklarını ve çıkarlarını gözetmek için işletme yönetimi, bağımsız denetçilerin ve iç denetçilerin gözetimi sorumluluğunu üstlenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, kurumsal yönetim uygulamaları ve denetim komiteleri arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda kurumsal yönetim ve denetim komitesi kavramları ile bunlarla ilgili diğer konular kavramsal çerçevede ele alınmıştır.
Localized nodal solutions for semiclassical nonlinear Kirchhoff equations
Authors: Wang Lixia 
Published: July 2023

In this article, we consider the existence of localized sign-changing solutions for the semiclassical Kirchhoff equation $$ -(\varepsilon^2a+\varepsilon b\int_{\mathbb{R}^3}|\nabla u|^2dx) \Delta u+V(x)u =|u|^{p-2}u, \quad x\in \mathbb{R}^3,\; u\in H^1({\mathbb{R}^3}) $$where \(4<p<2^{\ast}=6\), \(\varepsilon>0\) is a small parameter, \(V(x)\) is a positive function that has a local minimum point \(P\). When $\varepsilon\to 0$, by using a minimax characterization of higher dimensional symmetric linking structure via the symmetric mountain pass theorem, we obtain an infinite sequence of localized sign-changing solutionsclustered at the point \(P\).
Higher differentiability for solutions to nonhomogeneous obstacle problems with 1<p<2
Authors: Wang Zhenqiang 
Published: July 2023

In this article, we establish integer and fractional higher-order differentiability of weak solutions to non-homogeneous obstacle problems that satisfy the variational inequality $$ \int_{\Omega} \langle A(x,Du),D(\varphi-u)\rangle\,dx \ge \int_{\Omega} \langle |F|^{p-2}F,D(\varphi-u)\rangle\,dx, $$where \(1< p<2\), \(\varphi \in \mathcal{K}_{\psi } (\Omega ) =\{ v\in u_0+W_0^{1,p}(\Omega ,\mathbb{R} ):v\ge \psi \text{ a.e.\ in } \Omega\} \), \)(u_0\in W^{1,p}(\Omega)\) is a fixed boundary datum.We show that the higher differentiability of integer or fractional order of thegradient of the obstacle \(\psi\) and the nonhomogeneous term F can transfer to the gradient of the weak solution, provided the partial map \(x\mapsto A(x,\xi)\)belongs to a suitable Sobolev or Besov-Lipschitz space.

Infinitely many solutions and asymptotics for resonant oscillatory problems
Authors: Korman Philip , Schmidt Dieter S. 
Published: July 2023

For a class of oscillatory resonant problems, involving Dirichlet problems for semilinear PDE's on balls and rectangles in \(\mathbb{R}^n\), we show the existence of infinitely many solutions, and study the global solution set. The first harmonic of the right hand side is not required to be zero, or small. We also derive asymptotic formulas in terms of the first harmonic of solutions, and illustrate their accuracy by numerical computations. The numerical method is explained in detail.
