Abstract The Indonesian plantation sector plays an important role in the overall national economy. The development of coffee processing methods into a variety of products, including the relatively new product Gayo wine coffee, will provide added value for farmers. However, the main question that is often asked about relatively new ventures is how viable they are. Thus, a techno-economic analysis of Gayo wine-coffee processing facility development was aimed to answer how viable is the business to ensure sustainability. The results of this research are expected to add scientific information regarding the feasibility study of developing a sustainable Gayo wine-coffee processing facility. The research was conducted in Aceh Tengah District by conducting a comparative study to a micro-scale wine coffee producer in the location, the Syukran Kopi Wine processing facility. Analysis of the facility development was more focused on the technological and financial aspects. The research results considered that Aceh Tengah District is very suitable as a location for a wine coffee factory to minimize the purchasing costs. Moreover, the process of wine coffee production is more difficult than the process of common coffee production. However, the Gayo wine-coffee processing facility uses semi-modern technology like the common coffee processing facility. Besides, all financial indicators meet the financial feasibility criteria for five years economic life of the project. Sensitivity analysis also shows that in both scenarios, all financial indicators still meet the financial feasibility criteria, although decreasing the benefit make a higher impact on most values of the investment criteria than increasing the operational cost.

Many Islamic countries are facing zakat governance issues including transparency, trust, inconsistency of zakat law with al-Quran and hadith, non-compliance and bureaucracy. Despite of the ongoing issues, little is known about zakat system in Islamic countries particularly the high-income Islamic countries. The high-income Islamic countries should be exemplary models to other Islamic countries as they have unlimited resources to build a dynamic zakat system that includes participation from renowned Islamic scholars to give opinions and fatwa on zakat law and the use of modern technologies to promote transparency and compliance. This study adopts a content analysis technique to analyse zakat system in seven high-income Islamic countries – Bahrain, Brunei Darussalam, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates. The data of zakat governance, zakat collection, zakat distribution, transparency, use of modern technology, issues and recognitions for each country were collected and analysed. This study added value to the minimal zakat system literature in Islamic countries. It is hoped that a harmonized zakat system can be adopted by Islamic countries and a strong commitment by all Islamic countries members to help asnaf particularly those who live in the under-developed countries.

Coconut commodity has a strategic value because it has an important role in the economy, society and culture of Indonesian society. Coconut plant is a multipurpose plant where all parts of the plant have economic value, one of which is coconut husk. The potential of coconut coir is very large and has not been used optimally. Whereas coconut coir, when processed, will produce various products such as home industries, furniture, geotextiles, boards, and creative industries. This study is aimed at analyzing the potential development of the coconut coir processing industry and the added value that will be generated using the case study method and the location selection is done deliberately (purposive sampling). The business financial feasibility model obtained is a predictive model for analysis and planning of business financial feasibility through the NPV, IRR, PBP, BCR criteria with various scenarios of changes in prices, interest rates, and production scale.The business balance model obtained is a predictive model that can be used to analyze the price gap level to plan the price level that will provide proportional profit to produce coconut coir processing factory business. Based on the results of the verification of the model with input using the assumption of parameter values, it shows that the coconut coir processing industry is feasible to run.

In order to meet the growing demand of energy resources, alternative resources are needed to replace and supplement the use of fossil fuels. The limited fossil resources and their impact on climate change are a topic of discussion not only among scientists, but world leaders as well. While the discussions are still on-going European Union is taking action by setting targets for year 2020 and year 2030 for climate and energy sectors. The aim is to increase the share of renewable resources up to 20 % and 40 % respectively. In order to meet these targets, the existing renewable energy resources need to be supported and their use expanded as well as new resources need to be researched and supported. The Sustainable Development Strategy of Latvia 2030 and Latvian Bioeconomy Strategy 2030 highlights the need for a more sustainable use of local, available nature resources, also mentioning that washed-out marine algae are one of the least used local resources. Even though the algae research is a topical field, there is no evaluation methodology for determining the algae use potential for biogas production that would take into account energetic, environmental and economic aspects together. Based on the EU targets for climate and energy sectors and Latvian strategies on how to reach those targets, the author of this thesis sets an aim to develop and test a methodology for evaluating algae use for biogas production taking into account three main aspects – energetic (experimental determination of energetic values), environmental (Life Cycle Assessment) and economic (Life Cycle Cost Analysis). The methodology development is based on a case study of locally available algae species in Latvia. The basis of thesis is 7 thematically unified peer-reviewed scientific publications that are published in different scientific journals, available at different scientific information storages and international databases. The aim of these publications is to transfer and approbate the evaluation methodology. The thesis consists of introduction and four chapters. Introduction defines the aim and tasks of the study, describes the structure of study and the methods used as well gives information about the approbation of the study. The first chapter contains the literature review. The second chapter contains the methodology development description as well as methods used within descriptions. The third chapter contains case study description. The fourth chapter describes the results of the case study, as well as contains the testing and evaluation of the methodology itself. The conclusions are summarized at the end of the thesis.

The low annual growth rate of the stipe in oil palm progenies is desirable to increase these crops’ productive and economic life. Recurrent reciprocal selection (R.R.S.) has allowed the development of oil palm populations through several breeding cycles with an increased frequency of favorable alleles associated with traits of interest. The present study evaluated families derived from Deli dura × African dura crosses. For 12 years, the yield, vegetative characteristics, and the amount of oil in seven dura progenies were assessed to estimate, from the information collected, the genetic parameters, heritability, and phenotypic correlations among quantitative genetic traits of high-yielding dwarf progenies. The analysis was carried out using analysis of variance, followed by a comparison of means for all estimated traits. The effect of the progenies was highly significant (p ≤ 0.01) for most traits. The yield values, expressed in fresh fruit bunches (FFB) for the progenies, ranged from 165 to 208 kg per palm per year. The oil-to-bunch ratio (O/B) ranged from 17% to 19%, with an overall average of 18%. One of the essential characteristics in this study was the vertical growth of the stipe. Progenies P6 and P7 were identified as those with the lowest annual increase in height, with values of 0.29 and 0.33 m year−1. The values indicate that these are slow-growing cultivars with a high FFB yield and O/B. The highest heritabilities were found for the vegetative trait height (71.62%) and the number of leaflets (46.64%). The development of dura parents with slow growth characteristics in combination with a high bunch and oil production allows extending the productive life of the crop to more than 35 years, providing added value to obtaining differentiated cultivars of oil palm.

The open method of coordination (OMC)—a tool which was formalized in the early 2000s—has generated the interest of both the researchers and practitioners in the context of the new EU governance. This article is examining the literature of both network governance and OMC, with the focus particularly on one main question: is OMC a useful instrument in health policies in order to achieve concrete results by outlining norms and legislation where EU exercise limited power? Analyzing a field in which the EU competence is limited—given the budgetary implications of medicines reimbursement—from the results of the existing collaboration within EUnetHTA, we will observe the added value in this particular case of the OMC application, and the possible consequences in shaping the supranational competences. Given that the EU, with some exceptions provided by the Treaties, may only exercise actions to support, coordinate or complement the action of the Member States in the health policy, the OMC proves to be a useful tool, both from the perspective of the Member States but especially of the supranational level.

Modern technology has significantly improved human life. However, its serious negative element in Africa is fostering human self-sufficiency and independence that ultimately subvert human solidarity and interdependence that are highly valued by ubuntu philosophy. The main question of this article is: From the perspective of the African communal tenet of ubuntu that places human identity within communal solidarity and interdependence, how can we theologically respond to the commodification of human identity in the modern technological age? Consequently, a description is made of how modern technological age promotes human self-sufficiency that leads to the commodification of human identity. Further, the link between the commodification of human identity and privatisation of self is described. The challenge of ubuntu philosophy expressed by the Nguni proverb umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu is unpacked, and its challenge to the human self-sufficiency promoted by the technological age is explored. The image of God is proposed as an important theological tool of responding to the commodification of human identity. Finally, some steps that the churches can use to mitigate the commodification of human identity are presented. Technology is here to stay; rather than resist it, Christians must embrace it from a perspective informed by the image of God.

What kinds of live music are available to the citizens of the cities of Groningen and Utrecht? That is the main question in two research projects, of which the databases have been made accessible in the Dataverse City Musicscapes (Lelieveldt & Bisschop Boele, 2018). At first sight databases of statistical research offices provide researchers with clear data about the number of venues and concerts and the participation of audiences (Gemeente Utrecht 2017, Van den Broek 2014). When looking closer we find that in these statistics only the regular (and mainly publicly funded) music venues are included. The authors’ projects show that a substantial part (53–60%) of live music concerts take place on non-regular locations, such as cafés, restaurants, clubs, churches, shopping malls and in open air. They developed a research tool to be able to draw a map of the musical landscape of a city (Musicscape). In this article we will reflect on the goals, research methods, datasets and some results from analysing our datasets. We hope this contributes to the discussion with scholars, music producers and policy makers about the added value of the concept of Musicscapes for the understanding of cultural participation, music performing practices and cultural policies.
