    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

    Get PDF
    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

    Eminent Domain & Bank Boycotts: The Tri-State Strategy in Pittsburgh

    [Excerpt] American steel corporations are currently in the process of cutting as much as 20 to 25 per cent of their productive capacity, much of it in the Pittsburgh area. With U.S. Steel\u27s recent move to buy steel slabs from overseas steel companies, the snowball effect on other companies could eliminate more than 50 per cent of the hot-metal producing end of steelmaking in America

    Is Aristotle's place really a surface? On Aristotle's concept of place in Physics IV and Categories 6

    Get PDF
    The attribution to Aristotle of the concept of place as bi-dimensional is firstly based on the identification of place with a surface, supposedly carried out by Aristotle in Physics IV. The identity of place with surface would indeed imply that place were missing the third dimension of depth, for the notion of surface was historically related to the notion of plane. Hence, since natural beings are, by definition, moving beings, and they have a three-dimensional extension, the doctrine of the bi-dimensionality of place would imply the impossibility to explain movement. Depth of place also seems to be neglected in another passage, in which Aristotle rejects the third definition of place as an extension between the extremities of the contained body. Scholars who admit the bidimensionality of Aristotelian place emphasize the contrast between the Aristotelian theory of place expounded in Physics and the theory contained in Categories, where the three-dimensionality of place is explicitly admitted. The aim of this paper is to try to convey additional arguments in favour of the three-dimensionality of Aristotelian place, based on the criterion of a more literal reading of the Aristotelian text

    Mesta y vida pastoril

    Get PDF
    Compuesto por cientos de ejecutorias, procesos o provisiones, el Archivo de la Mesta guarda en sus documentos otras informaciones, en apariencia fraccionadas e incoherentes, que nos permiten entrever el vivir cotidiano de los pastores trashumantes con sus costumbres y avatares. Estos hombres apegados a la tradición fueron el máximo exponente de la importancia de la ganadería en la historia castellana. Las merinadas formaban parte del paisaje, unas veces esperadas y otras odiadas, pero siempre presentes en numerosos lugares tanto de las sierras como de los extremos. El ciclo vital pastoril estaba totalmente adaptado a la naturaleza -marchas, esquileos, descansos o labores de paridera-, de ahí que resulte tan atrayente su relación, a través de la institución mesteña, con la actividad agrícola y con la evolución política en cada momento

    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

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
