CEO Effectiveness For Leading Pre-Event Natural Disaster Preparedness Planning To Meet The Needs Of Employees And Their Families

The findings of this study suggest that there appears to be some disparity among managers in their perceptions to the degree of the effectiveness of their CEO in leading organizational natural disaster preparedness. In this regard, there appears to be agreement among managers that their leadership has been effective in putting into place practices to assess current risks and to have a back-up infrastructure in place to resume operations quickly once a natural disaster hits. However, they generally disagree that their organizations are prepared to support the individual needs of employees and their families during a natural disaster

Effects Of Gender Presence In Senior Leadership Positions Upon Perspectives For Enhancing Workforce Diversity

The  evidence gathered through this research supports the conclusion  that the  perceptions of leaders regarding who is more effective in addressing workforce diversity issues are more likely to be significantly different depending on the degree of presence of females’ leaders in senior management.  In this regard, the presence of female’s leaders in senior management appears to be a significant factor in how males and females are perceived as to  whom best allocates current operational resources when addressing workforce diversity issue

Analytical Study of Certain Magnetohydrodynamic-alpha Models

In this paper we present an analytical study of a subgrid scale turbulence model of the three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations, inspired by the Navier-Stokes-alpha (also known as the viscous Camassa-Holm equations or the Lagrangian-averaged Navier-Stokes-alpha model). Specifically, we show the global well-posedness and regularity of solutions of a certain MHD-alpha model (which is a particular case of the Lagrangian averaged magnetohydrodynamic-alpha model without enhancing the dissipation for the magnetic field). We also introduce other subgrid scale turbulence models, inspired by the Leray-alpha and the modified Leray-alpha models of turbulence. Finally, we discuss the relation of the MHD-alpha model to the MHD equations by proving a convergence theorem, that is, as the length scale alpha tends to zero, a subsequence of solutions of the MHD-alpha equations converges to a certain solution (a Leray-Hopf solution) of the three-dimensional MHD equations.Comment: 26 pages, no figures, will appear in Journal of Math Physics; corrected typos, updated reference

Efektivitas Daun Teh (Camellia Sinensis) Sebagai Antioksidan Pada Fillet Ikan Bandeng (Chanos Chanos Forsk.) Selama Penyimpanan Dingin

Fillet rentan mengalami penurunan kualitas, kandungan asam lemak tidak jenuh bandeng mudah teroksidasi sehingga menimbulkan ketengikan. Upaya menghambat oksidasi dengan penggunaan antioksidan. Teh mengandung salah satu senyawa polifenol yaitu katekin yang bersifat antioksidan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kegunaan dari umur daun teh sebagai antioksidan di dalam menghambat laju oksidasi pada fillet ikan bandeng dan pengaruh perendaman fillet ikan bandeng dalam larutan daun teh selama penyimpanan dingin. Metode penelitian adalah experimental laboratories menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) pola faktorial 3×4 dengan 3 kali ulangan yang tersusun atas 2 faktor. Faktor A terdiri dari 3 taraf konsentrasi yaitu kontrol, 5% daun teh muda dan 5% daun teh tua. Faktor B terdiri dari 4 taraf lama penyimpanan dingin hari ke-0, 2, 4 dan 6. Parameter uji meliputi PV, TBA, FFA, pH dan organoleptik. Data parametrik dianalisa dengan sidik ragam (ANOVA) dan beda nyata jujur (BNJ). Data non parametrik dianalisa dengan Kruskal Wallis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa interaksi antara fillet ikan bandeng perlakuan konsentrasi daun teh dan lama penyimpanan dingin memberikan pengaruh berbeda nyata (p<0,05) terhadap nilai PV, TBA, FFA, pH dan organoleptik. Fillet ikan bandeng dengan perlakuan perendaman kosentrasi 5% larutan daun teh tua memiliki kemampuan yang lebih efektif sebagai antioksidan dalam menghambat laju oksidasi. Perlakuan perendaman pada konsentrasi 5% daun teh muda dan tua mampu mempertahankan kualitas fillet ikan bandeng hingga hari ke-6 penyimpanan dingin

The Economic Potential of Tourist Destinations of Pangandaran Beach, West Java Indonesia

Pangandaran Beach Tourist Area (KWPP) has beautiful natural potential to be developed as a famous tourist destination and visited by many tourists. In doing tourism activities, many things are affected, namely economic, ecological and social. The development of a tourist destination aims to obtain maximum economic value without sacrificing the existing ecological and social aspects. On the contrary, efforts to conserve nature or ecology in general and the existing social values should not inhibit the creativity for optimal economic growth. Therefore, a research to determine consumer preferences for Pangandaran Tourism Area by using TCM methods in KWPP needs to be done. Analysis of consumer preference management of KWPP is done using Travel cost method (TCM). Based on the analysis results of consumer preferences with the travel cost method, the value of consumer surplus for each consumer or tourist is obtained, that is Rp. 3.103.960 with economic value of KWPP usage of 26 billion rupiah. This shows that the economic potential of KWPP is still big to be developed.     Keywords: tourist, consumer preference, consumer surplus, TCM, Pangandara

Pengaruh Penambahan Tepung Cangkang Rajungan (Portunus Pelagicus) Terhadap Kadar Kalsium Stik Keju

Cangkang rajungan (Portunus pelagicus) merupakan limbah padat yang dapat menimbulkan pencemaran lingkungan. Selama ini nilai tambah cangkang rajungan hanya diperoleh dari industry pakan. Penambahan tepung cangkang rajungan diharapkan dapat dijadikan alternative sumber kalsium tambahan pada stik keju. Stik keju merupakan makanan ringan yang banyak dijumpai dan digemari masyarakat. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kandungan kalsium dan tingkat kesukaan masyarakat terhadap gizi stik keju dengan penambahan tepung cangkang rajungan, serta untuk mengetahui konsentrasi optimal tepung limbah cangkang rajungan pada stik keju. Penelitian dilakukan dua tahap, tahap pertama dilakukan penambahan tepung cangkang rajungan dengan konsentrasi 0%, 5%, 10% dan 15%. Konsentrasi terpilih sebesar 5% sebagai konsentrasi penambahan tepung cangkang rajungan terbaik yang dapat diterima secara sensori. Tahap kedua penelitian dilakukan penambahan tepung cangkang rajungan pada stik keju dengan konsentrasi 3%, 5% dan 7%, kemudian dilakukan pengujian organoleptik, kadar kalsium, kadar air, kadar protein, kadar lemak, kadar fosfor dan tingkat kekerasan. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis sidik ragam (ANOVA). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan tepung cangkang rajungan pada stik keju memberikan pengaruh beda nyata (p < 0,05) terhadap semua parameter uji. Konsentrasi 5% menjadi konsentrasi terbaik dengan nilai kadar kalsium 2,39%, kadar air 4,40%, kadar protein 11,29%, kadar lemak 40,27%, kadar fosfor 0,48%, tingkat kekerasan 3,55 N, dan nilai hedonik 7,01
