Critical analysis of the insider trading framework of Tanzania

Magister Legum - LLMThis study is on the insider trading framework of Tanzania. The researcher has made enquiries whether the Tanzania legal framework governing insider trading provides strong enough enforcement mechanisms, including remedies and measures against malpractices found on the securities market to attract investor confidence. Critical analysis is done of the Capital Markets and Securities Act, 79 of 1994 (RE 2002) in conjunction with an investigation into the Capital Markets and Securities Authority (CMSA) a body corporate charged with the duties among others, of protecting the integrity of the securities market and maintaining surveillance over securities to ensure orderly, fair and equitable dealings in securities. The researcher uses a comparative approach from other jurisdictions considered as international best standards of the English and South African insider trading legislation. Discussions on the study are presented in chapters. Chapter one is the general introduction to the Study. It is the reproduction of the research proposal. Chapter Two is on the overview of insider trading framework of Tanzania. An analysis is made on the provisions of the Capital Market and Securities Act, 79 of 1994 (RE 2002). It is revealed that the enforcement mechanisms are inadequate and ineffective. The Capital Market and Securities Act, 79 of 1994, (RE 2002) neither defines nor provides the interpretation to legal concepts such as insider, inside information and publication. Civil remedies and criminal penalties provided in the Tanzania Capital Market and Securities Act, 79 of 1994, (RE 2002) are inadequate for deterrent purposes to combat insider trading practices. In chapter three the researcher examines the Capital Market and Securities Authority (CMSA) in terms of fulfillments of its roles, functions, and powers. It is submitted that the CMSA and the DSE have never contributed much to resolving the problem of securities market abuses. Chapter four extend the study to the English and South Africa insider trading legislation considered as international best practice and therefore comparable. The researcher has observed that flaws in areas of prohibition, enforcements, defences and the lacuna on identified concepts of insider trading make the Tanzanian insider trading legislation remain more symbolic than real in terms of its efficiency to combating insider trading practices. Chapter five provides the conclusions and recommendations on the study. The researcher has provided recommendations on curbing the problem of insider trading in Tanzania, including repealing and enacting a new strong and effective insider trading legislation

Adsorption of Congo Red Dye from Aqueous Solution onto Natural and Modified Bauxite Clays

The adsorption behavior of congo red dye from its aqueous solutions was investigated onto natural and modified bauxite clays. Both bauxite and modified bauxite are primarily characterized by using, FTIR, SEM, AFM, and XRD. Several variables are studied as a function of adsorption including contact time, adsorbent weight, pH, ionic strength, particle size and temperature under batch adsorption technique. The absorbance of the solution before and after adsorption was measured spectrophotometrically. The equilibrium data fit with Langmuir model of adsorption and the linear regression coefficient R2 is found to be 0.9832 and 0.9630 for natural and modified bauxite respectively at 37.5°C which elucidate the best fitting isotherm model. The general shape of the adsorption isotherm of congo red on natural and modified bauxite is consistent with (H-type) on the Giles classification. Different thermodynamic parameters such as Gibb's free energy, enthalpy and entropy of the on-going adsorption process have also been evaluated. The thermodynamic analyses of the congo red adsorption on natural and modified bauxite indicate that the systems are endothermic in natur

Pusat terapi dan rehabilitasi mental remaja di Surabaya

Abstrak: Kesehatan sering kali dipersepsikan dari segi fisik saja. Namun sebenarnya sehat juga berarti tentang kesehatan jiwa. Akan tetapi, masalah kesehatan jiwa sering kali dianggap kalah penting dibandingkan dengan kesehatan fisik. Masih banyak masyarakat Indonesia yang memiliki gangguan mental yang masih memilih untuk tidak berobat dikarenakan banyaknya alasan dan mentalitas masyarakat terhadap gangguan mental di Indonesia. Alasannya antara lain tidak yakin dimana harus meminta bantuan, masalah biaya, stigma masyarakat, komitmen waktu, dll. Kehidupan kota besar seperti Surabaya yang terus berkembang pesat dapat menciptakan tekanan yang dapat mempengaruhi mental remaja dengan ekspetasi gaya hidup yang kadang tidak realistis dan sangat menuntut. Perancangan ini bertujuan untuk mewadahi kegiatan terapi dan rehabilitasi mental untuk remaja di Surabaya. Dengan penerapan healing environment sebagai pendekatan utama untuk perancangan yang mendukung kegiatan terapi dan rehabilitasi. Sehingga, desain arsitektur pada healing environment juga berpengaruh pada proses penyembuhan pengguna remaja. Desain arsitektur dapat mendukung pengguna dari segi kesehatan jasmani maupun rohani. ` Abstract: Health is often perceived solely in terms of physical well-being. However, in reality, being healthy also means having good mental health. Nevertheless, mental health issues are often considered less important than physical health. There are still many people in Indonesia who have mental disorders but choose not to seek treatment due to various reasons and societal attitudes towards mental health issues in the country. Some reasons include uncertainty about where to seek help, financial constraints, societal stigma, time commitments, and more. The fast-paced development and high expectations of urban life in cities like Surabaya can create pressures that affect the mental well-being of teenagers, with unrealistic and demanding lifestyles. This design aims to provide a space for therapy and mental rehabilitation activities for teenagers in Surabaya. The implementation of a healing environment as the primary approach in the design supports therapeutic and rehabilitation activities. As a result, the architectural design in the healing environment also plays a role in the healing process for teenage users. The architectural design can support users' physical and spiritual health. ملخص: غالبًا ما يُفهم الصحة من حيث الرفاهية الجسدية فقط. ومع ذلك، في الواقع، يعني أن تكون صحيًا أيضًا أن يكون لديك صحة نفسية جيدة. ومع ذلك، يُعتبر قضايا الصحة النفسية في كثير من الأحيان أقل أهمية من الصحة الجسدية. لا يزال هناك العديد من الأشخاص في إندونيسيا الذين يعانون من اضطرابات نفسية ولكنهم يختارون عدم السعي للعلاج بسبب أسباب مختلفة والمواقف الاجتماعية تجاه قضايا الصحة النفسية في البلاد. تشمل بعض الأسباب عدم اليقين في أين يمكن الحصول على المساعدة، وقيود مالية، والتحريم الاجتماعي، والتزامات الوقت، وما إلى ذلك. يمكن أن يؤدي التطور السريع والتوقعات العالية للحياة الحضرية في مدن مثل سورابايا إلى وجود ضغوط تؤثر على الرفاهية النفسية للمراهقين، مع نمط حياة غير واقعي ومطالبة مرهقة. يهدف هذا التصميم إلى توفير مساحة لأنشطة العلاج وإعادة التأهيل النفسي للمراهقين في سورابايا. تطبيق بيئة الشفاء كنهج رئيسي في التصميم يدعم الأنشطة العلاجية وإعادة التأهيل. نتيجة لذلك، يلعب التصميم المعماري في بيئة الشفاء أيضًا دورًا في عملية الشفاء للمستخدمين المراهقين. يمكن أن يدعم التصميم المعماري الصحة الجسدية والروحية للمستخدمي
