    A business risk has been an inherent part of companies' activities nowadays. It relates to threats and opportunities which make a majority of companies manage the risk. The business risk also has been concerned by public particularly in term of environmental risk. A failure to manage the environment may result in negative reactions from public. The negative reactions are predicaments for company's economy. Therefore, companies have also considered the significance of the environmental risk management. An example of these companies is Shell Oil Company which suffered environmental issue in 1999. Accordingly, this paper aims to evaluate the risk management conducted by the Shell Company which focuses on company's effort to maintain good relationship with stakeholders in its environmental risk management. There were determinant factors in the successful risk management. The first factor is an efficient and effective implementation of risk management cycle. Secondly, a practice of risk management phase. The third factor is effective social activities. The fourth factor is a significance of risk management application since the establishment of company. The fifth factor is an importance of efficient and effective communication with stakeholders. Finally, a substantial contribution from media is prominent aspect in company's risk management

    Towards Systems Thinking in Ethical Management to the Environment: a Solution for Conflict of Interest

    Get PDF
    Multiple stakeholders refer to different interests that are vulnerable to create conflict of interest. The condition requires an effective management to satisfy stakeholders without ignoring ethical practices to the environment. It demands systems thinking which makes companies realise that their activities influence stakeholders whilst stakeholders\u27 actions have impact on companies. However, several companies preclude the systems thinking which gives consequence to unsolved conflict and even creates worse problems. Gunns Limited Company Australia (Gunns) is one of example ofthese companies.Gunnsactivities in the Tasmania forest generated public criticisms because Gunns was considered as a firm that deterioratedthe environment, humans\u27health and communities\u27 job. Different stakeholders\u27 views on this case might lead to environmental safety or environmental destructions. With this background, this essay attempts to analyzethe application of systems thinking (under stakeholder theory) in the process of ethical management to the environment in order to solve the conflict of interests. Hopefully, this paper will significantly contribute to overcome similar issues in Indonesia and also contributes to further researches related to systems thinking as a solution for conflict of interest

    The Use of An Arduino Uno Ultrasonic Sensor in Desalination Equipment's Water Filling Control

    Get PDF
    A sensor called an ultrasonic sensor works by converting electrical quantities into physical quantities (sound) and vice versa. An Arduino Uno is required to activate the system's ultrasonic sensor. The reservoir's water level is determined using ultrasonic sensors. The purpose of this investigation is to learn how to put together, program, and utilize the HC-SR04 Arduino Uno ultrasonic sensor with the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) application. Controlling the water in the desalination system is required so that the water entering the reservoir does not waste or overflow and pollute the desalinated water. An ultrasonic sensor is attached to a seawater desalination system using the evaporation method, and the sensor is put on the edge of the evaporation pond in order to conduct experimental testing of the ultrasonic sensor on the device. The desalination tool can operate more efficiently and under control with the help of the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor by automatically filling the water in the evaporation pond. The sensor will automatically supply the water shortage when the seawater evaporates. Results of experimental observations made with the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor on an evaporation bath with three water filling cycles are available. so that after 7 days, 13% of the volume that was filled in the evaporation basin has evaporated

    Cherry leaves and binahong leaves have the potential to be processed into products in the form of powder drinks that have the potential as antioxidants, such as flavonoids, phenols, polyphenols, alkaloids, saponins and tannins. The purpose of this study was to determine the organoleptic and physico-chemical characteristics of powder drink made from cherry leaves (Muntingia calabura L.) and binahong (Anredera cordifolia) leaves with stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) leaf sweetener. The experimental design used a completely randomized design with two factors, namely the concentration of treatment of cherry leaves and binahong leaves 80%:0% (K1), 60%:20% (K2), 40%:40% (K3), 20%:60% (K4), 0%:80% (K5) with drying temperatures 55℃ (T1) and 60℃ (T2). The parameters in this study were organoleptic characteristic, water content, protein, fat, carbohydrates, antioxidants, total phenol, and solubility. Statistical processing using Two Way Analysis of variances (ANOVA) was continued with the Tukey test at a significant level of 0.05%. The results of the selected formulation K3T1, were significantly different from K3T2. The highest water content was 7.29% (K3T1), the highest fat was 0.46% (K3T2), the highest ash was 10.53% (K3T1), the highest protein was 12.39% (K3T1), the highest carbohydrate was 70.60% (K3T2), the highest %RSA was 75.80% (K3T1), the highest total phenol was 11.60% (K3T1), and the highest solubility was 46.00% (K3T2).

    The improvement of teachers competencies have been implemented through conventional training or “class” training. The model demands on high cost and limited participants. The survey result in East Java reveals that the majority of teachers seldom involve in training activities, meanwhile Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has been accessible and affordable in cell‟s coverage area. The availability of ICT facilities provides opportunities to implement e-learning-based training for teachers. This research aims to use a development research and a test model of effectiveness by using an action research. The result of development signifies that e-learning model should concern in the capabilities of participants in ICT (Direct and Indirect Model). In common, both models contains component of online class orientation, training session and learning evaluation. The result of study shows this model is able to improve the teachers‟ capabilities in Financial Accounting. Teachers with high capabilities in ICT are more easily adapted with e-learning, hence all processes might be implemented in online basis. Conversely, teachers with low abilities in ICT are vulnerable for failures in online training. Accordingly, an indirect training might be executed through a phase of ICT orientation and orientation of online class before conducting further phases in online training. The improvement of effectiveness in independent learning process requires a comprehensive content in e-learning and should be performed in sequential basis. Additionally, it is prominent to implement training at the same time with school schedule. Despite of the availability of ICT facilities at school, an academic sharing might be easily comprehended.
