As a continuation from the first and second Maritime Sciences and Advanced Technology (MSAT) conference on August 3-5, 2017, in Denpasar, Bali, and on August 7-8, 2019 in Makassar, we heartfully worked on the 3rd MSAT Conference “Toward Ocean Sustainability for a Better Future Through Sciences and Technology” initially taken place at Pangandaran Integrated Aquarium and Marine Research Institute (PIAMARI), Pangandaran, West Java, 5-6th August 2021 (https://msat.fitb.itb.ac.id/). This conference is one of our Memorandum of Agreement the implementations between the Faculty of Earth Science and Technology - ITB, Geospatial Information Agency of Indonesia, and the PIAMARI, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries. Topic, as mentioned above, is chosen to support Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) promoted by the United Nations. The Maritime science, and technology targets at least the SDGs no 13 and 14; Climate Action and Life below water. While several others like no.1 (No Poverty) and 2 (Zero Hunger) and no. 7 (Affordable and clean energy) are also strongly workable from the Maritime section, especially our country as we are the second-largest coastline in the world. This makes 60% of our citizens live in the coastal area. Moreover, our earth system is highly likely sensitive to climate change and might continuously affect the future climate. The global surface temperature will continue to increase until at least the mid-century under all emissions scenarios considered. Global warming of 1.5°C and 2°C will be exceeded during the 21st century unless deep reductions in CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions occur in the coming decades. Our first Conference proceeding (Volume 62) was published at IOP on 06 July 2018 (https://iopscience.iop.org/issue/1755-1315/162/1), and our second conference proceeding (Volume 618) was published at IOP on 21 December 2020 (https://iopscience.iop.org/issue/1755-1315/6187/1). The proceeding covers the important impact of the geographical position of the Indonesian Seas. We have welcomed various research findings from the aspects of Ocean-Atmosphere Dynamics, Marine Hazard and Coastal Degradation, Marine Resources, Conservation and ICZM, and Marine Geodesy and Satellite Oceanography – as have become the sessions. Therefore, in this Conference Proceeding, readers might discover the recent issue and results of research in the broad topics of maritime science and advanced technology. Unfortunately, the 3rd MSAT must be held online using the Zoom platform due to Covid-19. On June-September 2021, Indonesia was experiencing the high-risk status of Covid-19, which was under activity restrictions. We chose to keep the dates fixed on August 5-6, 2021, although we have to hold the conference virtually instead of postponing it on other dates. The reason is to keep all the speakers on schedule, and administration supports are in place. Additionally, world oceans day, commemorated on June 8, was framed for celebration. By the advantages, participants from many remote areas in Indonesia joined this virtual conference. The organizers were in 3 different cities of Bandung (ITB), Jakarta (BIG), and Pangandaran (PIAMARI). In Bandung, the MSAT committee was assigned to the faculty within several different rooms to comply with the health protocol during the pandemic. The participants who attended online on the first and second day were about 250 participants from various institutions and universities in Indonesia and teachers in Pangandaran, 3 keynote speakers and 9 invited speakers, and 53 presenters. The invited speakers were well-known scientists around the world (USA, China, Japan, Korea, Australia, and New Zealand), hence attracted some participant from abroad. The opening was opened by the Dean of the Faculty of Earth Science and Technology, Dr. Irwan Meilano, S.T., M.Sc., and ITB Chancellor, Prof. Reini Wirahadikusumah. After that, it was continued with the Keynote Speaker of the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries of Indonesia, Mr. Ir. Sakti Wahyu Trenggono, M.M., and continued with a mini session which was opened with a breakout room system (Room A, B, C, D, and E) on Zoom. Keynote Speakers were given 30 minutes to present the talk, and Invited speakers were allocated for 20 minutes talk and 10 minutes Q&A session guided by the assigned moderator. Meanwhile, every participant presents their works maximum of 15 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of Q&A session guided by the moderator for each morning and afternoon session. The event starts on time from 08.00 to 17.00. The MSAT event can also be watched through the Oceanography Study Program Youtube: Oceanography ITB (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtLdITrN051L6wpa5KtwG7A) List of the organizing committee is listed as follows, Photo documentation are available in this pdf.

AbstractSince its introduction in the Turkish fisheries in 1980, use of the fish finder device sonar has been a controversial issue among fishermen and between fishermen and scientists. Most fishermen claim that sonars scare away or kill fish while local marine scientists contend that sonars have no such effect. What can study of this conflict tell us about the use of advanced technology in regions of the world far away from the metropolitan production of such technologies? In this ethnographic approach to a study in the field of Science and Technology Studies (STS) the fishermen's use of and the scientists' research on the sonar are surveyed. The article discusses the degree to which the adoption of sonar in the Turkish fisheries has resulted in a standardization of fishing practices—not only technologically, but possibly also in the way the fishermen perceive the hunt. Some theoretical arguments on how people relate to technology are reviewed and a phenomenologically inspired perspective advanced. It is argued that too much attention on finding the "Truth"—in this case whether the sonar is harmful to fish or not—diverts attention from more fundamental issues, such as what kinds of change sonar has brought to the social relations of production.

Throughout history the development of the countries has been generated mainly by the impulse in two complementary axes: Science and Technology, and Trade. At present we are experiencing an exponential scientific and technological development and the Economy in all its fronts is driven by the intensive application of technology. According to these considerations, this research tries to expose the development of Innovation Management as a transversal mechanism to promote the different socioeconomic areas and especially those supported by engineering. To this end, use will be made of Technology Watch in order to identify the advances of the main research centres related to innovation in the world. Next, there will be an evaluation of the main models of Innovation Management and related methodologies that expose some of the existing Innovation Observatories in the world to finally make a proposal for Innovation Management applicable to the reality of Peru, so that it can be taken into consideration by stakeholders (Government, Academy, Business and Civil Society) committed to Innovation Management in the country

ABSTRACTMexico lacks a scientific culture. Investigations and reports show that only has a record of 38 thousand scientific and 0.5% global of registered patents in the world. Communications and electronics engineering (ICE) is one of the three formations in the school of mechanical engineering and electrical (ESIME) unit Zacatenco from the Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN) Mexico. Among the objectives of this mentioned formation on its web site, is the form professionals with scientific and technological foundations; However, the curriculum includes only two subjects with these characteristics. Less than 1% of the graduates also choose to devote himself to scientific work. This paper shows the results obtained by means of a survey on the perception that students have about scientists in order to propose actions that foster a greater interest in them by the science and technology into their professional formation.RESUMENMéxico carece de una cultura científica ya que algunas encuestas muestran que solo se tiene un registro de 38 mil científicos y el 0.5% del total mundial de patentes registradas.

The world is continuously searching for ways to improve how water is used for energy. As the population increases, so do the needs for natural resources and, in turn, the needs for energy. This research sought to show how the world has tried to achieve more sustainable forms of pressurized water distribution and to show the results that have been obtained. In this sense, technologies have been used for the production of clean energy, energy recovery instead of dissipation, reprogramming of pumping stations and hybrid systems. In many cases, much lower water and energy requirements are achieved and, in turn, greenhouse gas emissions related to water use are reduced. Sixty-one different water systems were analyzed considering different energy, economic and environmental indicators. The different operation range of these indicators were defined according to sustainable indicators.

AbstractIncreased economic integration throughout the world, the growing dominance of foreign affiliate production over international exports, the routinization of innovation, and amplified knowledge-intensiveness of FDI collectively characterize the new global economic environment in which SADC nations are attempting to develop and compete. This paper provides a detailed summary of the global economic context and one of its leading engines, namely, science and technology (S&T). Analysis of Africa's post-independence S&T travails and successes constitutes the second section of the paper. Various factors that have collectively arrested S&T growth are discussed. The third and largest section is the analysis of commonalities and particularities of S&T needs and activities by the SADC secretariat and member states. Focused analytical reports on the status of S&T development efforts in Botswana and Zimbabwe comprise the final section. Based on the contextual threats and opportunities discussed above, the paper concludes with two concrete recommendations: integrating and adopting the elements suggested in the paper for a long-term S&T development model, and pursuing state-sponsored or quasi-state-sponsored reverse engineering campaigns.
