A disaster risk assessment model for the conservation of cultural heritage sites in Melaka Malaysia
There exist ongoing efforts to reduce the exposure of Cultural Heritage Sites (CHSs) to Disaster Risk (DR). However, a complicated issue these efforts face is that of ‘estimation’ whereby no standardised unit exist for assessing the effects of Cultural Heritage (CH) exposed to DR as compared to other exposed items having standardised assessment units such as; ‘number of people’ for deaths, injured and displaced, ‘dollar’ for economic impact, ‘number of units’ for building stock or animals among others. This issue inhibits the effective assessment of CHSs exposed to DR. Although there exist several DR assessment frameworks for conserving CHSs, the conceptualisation of DR in these studies fall short of good practice such as international strategy for disaster reduction by United Nations which expresses DR to being a hollistic interplay of three variables (hazard, vulnerability and capacity). Adopting such good practice, this research seeks to propose a mechanism of DR assessment aimed at reducing the exposure of CHSs to DR. Quantitative method adopted for data collection involved a survey of 365 respondents at CHSs in Melaka using a structured questionnaire. Similarly, data analysis consisted of a two-step Structural Equation Modelling (measurement and structural modelling). The achievement of the recommended thresholds for unidimensionality, validity and reliability by the measurement models is a testimony to the model fitness for all 8 first-order independent variables and 2 first-order dependent variables. While hazard had a ‘small’ but negative effect, vulnerability had a ‘very large’ but negative effect on the exposure of CHSs to DR. Likewise, capacity had a ‘small’ but positive effect on the exposure of CHSs to DR. The outcome of this study is a Disaster Risk Assessment Model (DRAM) aimed at reducing DR to CHSs. The implication of this research is providing insights on decisions for DR assessment to institutions, policymakers and statutory bodies towards their approach to enhancing the conservation of CHSs
Conflict over Scarce Economic Resources: An Analysis of the Zimbabwe/Nigeria Small-Scale Business Relationship in Harare
Zimbabwe is currently undergoing a difficult economic phase where unemployment rate is over 85% and the economy is largely informal. The few formal business operations are in the hands of few foreigners who established themselves during the 2007-2009 economic crises when most Zimbabweans were economically down and crippled. The study sought to establish the relationship between the disempowered Zimbabweans and the few empowered foreigners with a view to establish the volatility vis-Ã -vis the situation in the neighbouring South Africa regarding xenophobia. The study was conducted in Harare through a mixed method approach which saw 10 key participants drawn from both Zimbabwean and Nigerian business operators being interviewed. To compliment interviews, policy documents and other relevant literature was reviewed. Data was analysed using Constant Comparison method based in grounded theory approach. The study did confirm the dominance by foreigners in business operations and the existence of an aggrieved voice within the Zimbabwean citizens. However, it also established that the possibility of a Zimbabwe/Nigeria conflict is far-fetched given available conditions. Keywords: economic resources, xenophobia, unemployment, immigrants, investments, conflict
Influence of Reflection in Conflict: Analysis of Selected Ndebele Cases, Zimbabwe
The research explored how reflection may serve to renew and drive emotions in a long aggrieved people. The qualitative study following a case centred approach employed two cases from Manicaland and Matebeleland provinces which involved participants expressing emotions. Verbal reports from the participants were transcribed using Conversation Analysis (CA) which helped assess interaction between the parties in the selected cases. The study established that reflection drives ethnic and political perceptions to an extent that there are hidden hostilities within some communities. It established that reflection driven by emotions and hostility is more dangerous than that influenced by the desire to nurture a cause and celebrate an event or activity. It is concluded that the inter-ethnic latent conflict needs formal acknowledgement in-order to heal the wounds and that reflection zooms the past incredibly and politically dangerous. Keywords: Reflection, conflict, ethnicity, acknowledgement, remembrance, peace
Proses Mediasi Perkara Perceraian Di Peradilan Agama
To overcome the problems of the ineffective and inefficient justice system, an alternative settlement of disputes with peace has emerged. Obligation of mediation, especially in marital disputes such as divorce, will bring great benefits to the parties, because through mediation agreements will be reached that will satisfy and resolve the problems that cause the rift of the household so that the integrity of the household is maintained. However, it should be remembered, that marital disputes (divorce) submitted to the court is not uncommon at the time of the trial that has been determined only attended by one party, namely the Plaintiff / Petitioner or Defendant / Respondent, while the other parties do not know the exact address. This is where the problem arises, whether the trial is adjourned to summon the Defendant / Respondent or parties not present as Article 127 HIR / 151 RBg, or postponed for mediation.
Abstrak
Untuk mengatasi problematika sistem peradilan yang tidak efektif dan efisien tersebut, maka muncul alternatif penyelesaian sengketa dengan perdamaian. Diwajibkannya mediasi khususnya dalam sengketa perkawinan seperti perceraian membawa manfaat yang besar bagi para pihak, karena melalui mediasi akan dicapai kesepakatan dan solusi yang memuaskan dan terselesaikannya problem yang menjadi penyebab keretakan rumah tangga sehingga keutuhan rumah tangga tetap terjaga. Namun perlu diingat, bahwa sengketa perkawinan (perceraian) yang diajukan ke Pengadilan tidak jarang pada saat persidangan yang telah ditentukan hanya dihadiri oleh satu pihak saja yaitu pihak Penggugat/Pemohon atau Tergugat/Termohon, sedangkan pihak lainnya tidak diketahui alamat pastinya. Di sinilah akan muncul permasalahan, apakah persidangan ditunda untuk memanggil Tergugat/Termohon atau pihak yang tidak hadir sebagaimana Pasal 127 HIR/151 RBg, atau ditunda untuk mediasi.

Trans & Poverty: Poverty and Economic Insecurity in Trans Communities in the EU
Economic marginalisation severely affects trans communities all across the European Union (EU). Over the past two years, the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated and thus shed light on much of the structural inequalities that are causes of this marginalisation. With this report, TGEU would like to build on the momentum of a growing body of research on the economic deprivation of trans people and a matching increase in measures and tools, including from the part of the European Commission, to address it
Critical Thinking and Conflict Resolution in a Political Youth Setting
Some circles have wondered if some of the recorded conflicts in Zimbabwe might not have been either averted or stopped had appropriate approaches and attitudes been adopted at various levels. Against this background, the study explores the place, feasibility and role of critical thinking in conflict resolution with particular focus on political youth setting in Zimbabwe. A qualitative online research was conducted with 44 youth drawn from Harare. The survey had questions about the youth’s understanding of critical thinking, respective application and its impact in conflict resolution processes. The study also analysed 10 selected court case verdicts drawn from the Zimbabwe courts between 1988 and 2015. The cases were selected because they relate to cases where the accused could have applied some critical thinking skills. To analyse data, SPSS was complimented with Narrative Content Analysis. The study was guided by the concept of reason and logic as enshrined in critical thinking. The study established that critical thinking is a new phenomenon yet to be appreciated by most youth. However, wherever applied, the phenomenon has helped ease the process and situation and helped analyse surrounding fundamentals

ABSTRACT
DODO RIOKO. Influence of Self-concept and motivation on Performance of Production Employees at PT SANYO Disi-Division, Depok. Scientific Paper, Jakarta: Study Program of Economics, Concentration of Offices Administrative Education, Economics and Administration Department, Faculty of Economics, State University of Jakarta, June 2012.
This study aims to determine whether there is influence between self-concept and motivation with performance on employees PT. SANYO Disi-Division, Depok.The study was conducted from April to June 2012. The reseach method is used survey method with the correlational approach. The study population was all production employees control unit PT SANYO Disi-Division, as much as 654 employees, and affordable population of this study is an Digital Still Camera (DSC) Production division which amounts to 140 employees. The samples used as many as 100 employees by using simple random sampling technique. Techniques of data analysis using SPSS 17.0 begins with finding the test requirements analysis test for normality using the Kolmogorov Smirnov method and obtained the value of X 1 , X , and Y, and Residual 0.200 which are all more than the 0.05 then the data are normally distributed. Linearity test can be seen from the results output Test of Linearity at 0.05 significance level. The results of linearity test X 2 (Self Concept)
with Y (Performance) of 0.000 which is less than the 0.05, it can be concluded the data X (Self Concept) with Y (Performance) has a linear relationship. Then the results of linearity test X
(Motivation) and Y (Performance) of 0.000 which is less than the 0.05, it can be concluded the data X 2 (Motivation) and Y (Performance) also has a linear relationship. Then look for the classic assumptions test the multicollinearity test. A good regression model requires the absences of multicollinearity probelms. The results obtained are the Tolerance values of 0.919 which means more than 0.1 and the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) 1.089 which means less than 10. Thus, it can be concluded that the regression model didn’t occur multicollinearity. Then look for heteroskedastisitas test to Glejser test. A good regression model requires the absences of
heteroskedastisitas problem. Significance value of X 2 (Self Concept) for 0,164>0,05 and the significance of X 2 1 (Motivation) for 0,623>0,05. Since the significance value of more than 0.05 the the regression model didn’t occur heteroskedastisitas. Regression equation obtained Y = 15,609 + 0,336 X + 0,337 X 2 . Test the hypothesis that the F Test in ANOVA tables produces F
(29,092) > F table (3,09), this means that X 1 (Self Concept) and X (Motivation) simultaneously
affect Y (Performance). T test produces T count of X 1 2 (Self Concept) is 4,912 and T count of X 2
(Motivation) is 4,193 and T table is 1.66. Because T count count > T , it can be concluded that there is a positive influence on the self-concept with motivation with performance. Then a coefficient of determination of test result obtained 37,5%, the performance variable (Y) determined by X
(Motivation)
