SANITASI DALAM BAHAYA BENCANA BANJIR, BAGAIMANA CARA MENANGANINYA? STUDI DI KECAMATAN BALEENDAH, KABUPATEN BANDUNG

Baleendah District is a flood-prone area. Become a problem when the adaptive community to stay, and low sanitation services in the region. This research aims to formulate direction of sanitation handling in Banjir Sub-District of Baleendah District. The method used in this research is qualitative and quantitative research method by formulating factors and sub-factors that influence the level of sanitation risk and assessment of sanitation condition in facing flood disaster by paying attention to related policy. The result of this research is to know the direction of sanitation handling in flood disaster area based on analysis result of sanitation condition and sanitation risk level analysis. Handling directions are shared technical and non technical during normal and flooded conditions. Technical referrals use 3 planning models. First spatial planning model, sanitation handling with related policy approaches. Both models of wastewater infrastructure management plan, using local system management so that the problems of septic tank deficiency can be fulfilled. Provision of self-supporting latrines and emergency latrines to cope with the lack of latrines when the floods take place. The three models of household waste management planning with a sustainable approach to waste management with a centralized off-site system from collection to final processing. Provision of flood-resistant waste infrastructure. Non-technical guidance in the form of strengthening community capacity in Clean and Healthy Lifestyles (PHBS) in the form of education, training, strengthening public awareness of the use of sanitation in all conditions, thus minimizing the impact of both behavior patterns and problems of availability of sanitation infrastructure.Kecamatan Baleendah merupakan daerah rawan banjir. Menjadi suatu permasalahan ketika masyarakat adaptif untuk tetap tinggal, dan pelayanan sanitasinya rendah di wilayah tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merumuskan arahan penanganan sanitasi di Wilayah Bencana Banjir Kecamatan Baleendah. Metoda yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu metode penelitian campuran secara kualitatif dan kuantitatif dengan cara merumuskan faktor dan sub-faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap tingkat risiko sanitasi dan penilaian kondisi sanitasi dalam menghadapi bencana banjir dengan memperhatikan kebijakan terkait. Hasil penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui arahan penanganan sanitasi di wilayah bencana banjir berdasarkan hasil analisis penilaian kondisi sanitasi dan analisis tingkat risiko sanitasi. Arahan penanganan dibagi teknis dan non teknis pada saat kondisi normal dan banjir berlangsung. Arahan teknis menggunakan 3 model perencanaan. Pertama model perencanaan spasial, penanganan sanitasi dengan pendekatan kebijakan-kebijakan terkait. Kedua model perencanaan pengelolaan prasarana air limbah, menggunakan pengelolaan sistem setempat sehingga permasalahan kekurangan tangki septik dapat terpenuhi. Penyediaan jamban swadaya dan jamban darurat untuk mengatasi kekurangan jamban ketika banjir berlangsung. Ketiga model perencanaan pengelolaan sampah rumah tangga dengan pendekatan pengelolaan sampah dengan berkelanjutan dengan sistem off site terpusat mulai pengumpulan hingga ke pemrosesan akhir. Penyediaan prasarana persampahan yang tahan banjir. Arahan non-teknis berupa penguatan kapasitas masyarakat dalam Pola Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS) berupa edukasi, pelatihan, penguatan kesadaran masyarakat terhadap penggunaan sanitasi dalam segala kondisi, sehingga meminimalisir dampak yang ditimbulkan baik dari pola perilaku dan permasalahan ketersediaan prasarana sanitasi

An exploration of the determinants for decision to migrate existing resources to cloud computing using an integrated TOE-DOI model

Migrating existing resources to cloud computing is a strategic organisational decision that can be difficult. It requires the consideration and evaluation of a wide range of technical and organisational aspects. Although a significant amount of attention has been paid by many industrialists and academics to aid migration decisions, the procedure remains difficult. This is mainly due to underestimation of the range of factors and characteristics affecting the decision for cloud migration. Further research is needed to investigate the level of effect these factors have on migration decisions and the overall complexity. This paper aims to explore the level of complexity of the decision to migrate the cloud. A research model based on the diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory and the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework was developed. The model was tested using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The quantitative analysis shows the level of impact of the identified variables on the decision to migrate. Seven determinants that contribute to the complexity of the decisions are identified. They need to be taken into account to ensure successful migration. This result has expanded the collective knowledge about the complexity of the issues that have to be considered when making decisions to migrate to the cloud. It contributes to the literature that addresses the complex and multidimensional nature of migrating to the cloud

The Role of Ethnic Directors in Corporate Social Responsibility: Does Culture matter? The Cultural Trait Theory Perspectives

This paper investigates the effect of cultural differences between ethnic directors on corporate social responsibility (CSR) of Public Liability Companies (PLCs) in Nigeria. Using the cultural trait theory, the study focuses on how the ethnic directors are influenced when making decisions concerning CSR. Adopting multiple regression analysis of data, the study investigates the three major ethnic groups (Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa) and finds cultural differences between the ethnic directors affect the adoption of CSR. Empirical results indicate that ethnic directors (Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa) were positively and significantly related to CSR. The paper contributes to the corporate governance and CSR debate concerning how ethnic directors’ decisions impact on CSR activities, particularly on the directors who are individualistic and collectivists towards CSR

Identification and characterization of antibacterial compound(s) of cockroaches (Periplaneta americana)

Infectious diseases remain a significant threat to human health, contributing to more than 17 million deaths, annually. With the worsening trends of drug resistance, there is a need for newer and more powerful antimicrobial agents. We hypothesized that animals living in polluted environments are potential source of antimicrobials. Under polluted milieus, organisms such as cockroaches encounter different types of microbes, including superbugs. Such creatures survive the onslaught of superbugs and are able to ward off disease by producing antimicrobial substances. Here, we characterized antibacterial properties in extracts of various body organs of cockroaches (Periplaneta americana) and showed potent antibacterial activity in crude brain extract against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and neuropathogenic E. coli K1. The size-exclusion spin columns revealed that the active compound(s) are less than 10 kDa in molecular mass. Using cytotoxicity assays, it was observed that pre-treatment of bacteria with lysates inhibited bacteria-mediated host cell cytotoxicity. Using spectra obtained with LC-MS on Agilent 1290 infinity liquid chromatograph, coupled with an Agilent 6460 triple quadruple mass spectrometer, tissues lysates were analyzed. Among hundreds of compounds, only a few homologous compounds were identified that contained isoquinoline group, chromene derivatives, thiazine groups, imidazoles, pyrrole containing analogs, sulfonamides, furanones, flavanones, and known to possess broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, and possess anti-inflammatory, anti-tumour, and analgesic properties. Further identification, characterization and functional studies using individual compounds can act as a breakthrough in developing novel therapeutics against various pathogens including superbugs
