Analysis of Obstacles and Difficulties in the Process of Implementing Learning for Students Based on the Learning Management System (LMS)

Indonesia is among the world's largest archipelagic regions, with thousands of tiny islands. So many people may not obtain a decent education, such as attending advanced learning. To conquer this circumstance, particularly in light of the unreleased impact of COVID-19 and the global scale crisis, which undoubtedly impacts education in general. Each method for adjusting to shifts in higher education employs a Learning Management System (LMS). This descriptive study uses secondary data and a phenomenological approach to analyze how lecturers prepare lecture material using LMS. This study approach indicates that not all lecturers have scheduled material that students can download at any time via LMS. Because it is necessary to prepare lecturers and support structures that can be easily accessed per applicable regulations to organize the LMS, efforts that can be made to overcome obstacles to the LMS implementation include requiring each lecturer to prepare lecture materials in a structured and timely manner, as well as monitoring. Students can then repeat material that they might have already missed. This is one ideal solution for shutting the achievement gap

Masked Bobwhite: Status of an Endangered Subspecies

The masked bobwhite (Colinus virginianus ridgwayi), first collected in 1884, soon disappeared and was considered extinct by 1950. Its rediscovery in 1964 precipitated an aggressive effort to restore the masked bobwhite within its range in both the United States and Mexico. The masked bobwhite, despite this effort, has continued to decline with a precipitous decrease in numbers in the last decade. Surveys conducted in 2009 and 2010 resulted in no detections; for all practical purposes the masked bobwhite is now extinct in the wild. Fortunately, a captive population continues to exist and with proper management can produce sufficient masked bobwhite to restore the wild population. The Masked Bobwhite Recovery Program has been developed and is implementing a bi-national recovery strategy with Mexican cooperators that includes: (1) construction of a new captive breeding facility on Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge and adoption of new husbandry and rearing protocols; (2) contracting with the San Diego Zoo Conservation Research Center to manage and operate the new facility; (3) construction of a new facility at Africam Safari, Puebla, Mexico; (4) creation of a reintroduction program in Sonora, Mexico; (5) development of a Mexican landowner outreach program; and (6) a habitat improvement and predator management program on Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge

Entry biases in Cournot markets with free entry

Title from PDF of title page (University of Missouri--Columbia, viewed on Feb 15, 2010).Vita.The entire thesis text is included in the research.pdf file; the official abstract appears in the short.pdf file; a non-technical public abstract appears in the public.pdf file.Dissertation advisor: Dr. X. H. WangPh. D. University of Missouri--Columbia 2009.Entry biases determine whether free entry is desirable. This study examines entry biases in a Cournot market by comparing the number of free entry equilibrium firms to the number of social optimum firms. First, a homogeneous good market with linear demand is studied. Second, non-linear demand is introduced to the homogeneous good market. Third, non-homogeneous good market is examined under the assumption of identical firms, and lastly the study is extended to nonhomogeneous good market with non-identical firms. It is established that there are two kinds of entry biases in the market. First, free entry may lead to excess entry relative to the socially optimal level. Second, free entry may lead to the wrong type of firms in the market compared to the socially optimal type. In non-homogenous goods market with identical firms, free entry equilibrium number of type one firms is equal to free entry equilibrium number of type two firms. Moreover, it is found that social optimum number of type one firms is equal to social optimum number of type two firms. When it comes to entry biases, the entry is again found to be excessive. When non-identical firms are introduced to non-homogeneous goods market, non-corner solutions start to appear as the degree of product differentiation increases. In other words, when the degree of product differentiation is close to zero the goods become independent goods and both type of firms can survive in the market due to the maximum degree of product differentiation.Includes bibliographical reference

This study aims to see the working capital conditions of PT. Arita Prima Indonesia Tbk by calculating the source and use of working capital. The results of calculating the source and use of working capital at PT. Arita Prima Indonesia Tbk for the period 2016-2019, namely the development of working capital has increased by 3.39% in the 2016-2017 period and shows an excess of working capital in 2017 amounting to IDR 2,737,702,490. For the 2017-2018 period, the development of working capital increased by 28.52%, indicating an excess of working capital in 2018 amounting to Rp. 23,316,600,337. Whereas in the 2018-2019 period, the development of working capital decreased by 0.19%, indicating a shortage of working capital in 2019 amounting to Rp.204,079,037. The use of working capital at PT. Arita Prima Indonesia Tbk for the 2016-2019 period, namely the use of working capital in the 2016-2017 period is appropriate because in the operational management of PT. Arita Prima Indonesia Tbk has excess working capital of Rp. 2,737,702,490. The use of working capital in the 2017-2018 period is appropriate because in the operational management of PT. Arita Prima Indonesia Tbk, there is an excess of working capital of Rp. 23,316,600,337. Meanwhile, the use of working capital in the 2018-2019 period is not appropriate because in the operational management of PT. Arita Prima Indonesia Tbk, there is a working capital deficiency of Rp. 204,079,037. Keywords:Working Capital, Sources and Use of Working Capita

Quantifying the potential benefits of risk-mitigation strategies on future flood losses in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal

Flood risk is expected to increase in many regions worldwide due to rapid urbanization and climate change if adequate risk-mitigation (or climate-change-adaptation) measures are not implemented. However, the exact benefits of these measures remain unknown or inadequately quantified for potential future events in some flood-prone areas such as Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, which this paper addresses. This study examines the present (2021) and future (2031) flood risk in Kathmandu Valley, considering two flood occurrence cases (with 100-year and 1000-year mean return periods) and using four residential exposure inventories representing the current urban system (Scenario A) or near-future development trajectories (Scenarios B, C, D) that Kathmandu Valley could experience. The findings reveal substantial mean absolute financial losses (EUR 473 million and 775 million in repair and reconstruction costs) and mean loss ratios (2.8 % and 4.5 %) for the respective flood occurrence cases in current times if the building stock's quality is assumed to have remained the same as in 2011 (Scenario A). Under a “no change” pathway for 2031 (Scenario B), where the vulnerability of the expanding building stock remains the same as in 2011, mean absolute financial losses would increase by 14 %–16 % over those of Scenario A. However, a minimum (0.20 m) elevation of existing residential buildings located in the floodplains and the implementation of flood-hazard-informed land-use planning for 2031 (Scenario C) could decrease the mean absolute financial losses of the flooding occurrences by 9 %–13 % and the corresponding mean loss ratios by 23 %–27 %, relative to those of Scenario A. Moreover, an additional improvement of the building stock's vulnerability that accounts for the multi-hazard-prone nature of the valley (by means of structural retrofitting and building code enforcement) for 2031 (Scenario D) could further decrease the mean loss ratios by 24 %–28 % relative to those of Scenario A. The largest mean loss ratios computed in the four scenarios are consistently associated with populations of the highest incomes, which are largely located in the floodplains. In contrast, the most significant benefits of risk mitigation (i.e., largest reduction in mean absolute financial losses or mean loss ratios between scenarios) are experienced by populations of the lowest incomes. This paper's main findings can inform decision makers about the benefits of investing in forward-looking multi-hazard risk-mitigation efforts
