T This research aims to develop a model for the implementation of electric ground support equipment (E-GSE) in Indonesia. It employed the qualitative and quantitative method. Data were collected through interviews with airport stakeholders including ground handling, airline and airport experts. The data analysis used the Analytical Network Process (ANP) with Super Decisions software tools. The ANP is a mathematical theory that can be used to analyze the influence of approaches and assumptions used to solve related problems. The key stakeholders from the airlines, ground handling, and airport authority agreed that the critical criteria to implement electric ground support equipment (E-GSE) are emissions standards, pollution sources, limit value, employee exposure, and stationary measurements. The alternative solutions are regulation, company finance, and infrastructure. Those criteria and alternative solutions are in line with the Indonesian government’s regulation, supported by provision of the governor, concerning vehicle tax incentives for electric battery vehicles to support ground handling companies investment in electric ground support equipment (E-GSE) to reduce emissions in airports.

AbstractThe rapid growth of the microelectronics industry has spawned environmental problems associated with the process gases used to prepare semiconductors. Historically, many of these problems have been ignored because relatively low volumes of gases are associated with semiconductor fabrication; however, the exceptionally high toxicity of these materials (e.g. arsine, phosphine, silane, etc.) can cause major problems, especially for small quantity hazardous waste generators. Large commercial users have built expensive facilities for handling these materials, but small quantity generators typically have vented to the atmosphere through their exhaust ductwork. This is particularly true during cylinder changes where the gas manifold is repeatedly purged into the ductwork of the facility with no other treatment.A new family of novel vent gas scrubbers that will cost-effectively reduce toxic air emissions below the Threshold Limit Value (TLV) during cylinder changes is described. Called a vent gas scrubber (VGS), this device combines high capacity, high selectivity and very high capture-effectiveness. These properties permit the VGS to be extremely compact (ca. 125 ml), last a long time in use (several years or more) and to reduce emissions to well below the TLV for improved gas handling safety.

Purpose This study aims to address the research gap about value in the holistic discourse of creative placemaking. It identifies and synthesises the often discounted social and environmental values of creative placemaking along with typically emphasised economic values. Design/methodology/approach This paper builds upon two research phases; first, a review and extraction of creative placemaking value indicators from relevant current urban, cultural and planning literature; and second, the identification of relevant, practice-based, value indicators through interviews with 23 placemaking experts including practitioners, urban planners, developers and place managers from the two largest cities of NSW, Australia; Sydney and Newcastle. Findings This study identifies three broad thematics for valuing creative placemaking along with several sub-categories of qualitative and quantitative indicators. These indicators reveal the holistic value of creative placemaking for its key stakeholders, including expert placemakers, designers, building developers, government and community groups. A key conclusion of the research is the need for tools that grasp the interconnected, and at times conflicting, nature of placemaking’s social, economic and environmental outcomes. Originality/value While a variety of value indicators exist to understand the need for ongoing resourcing of creative placemaking, stakeholders identified the limitations of current approaches to determine, represent and appraise the value of creative placemaking. The indicators of value proposed in this research consolidate and extend current discourse about the value of creative placemaking specifically. The indicators themselves have profound practical implications for how creative placemaking is conceived, executed and evaluated. Theoretically, the study builds on the deep relationships between values and practice in creative placemaking, as well as critiquing narrow forms of evaluation that entrench economic benefits over other outcomes.

School is a place for students to gain knowledge. Every school has a goal which is to improve the quality of the education world, as well as the MTS Pembina Maligas Bayu school. To realize this goal there must be improvements in service, teaching and assessment in order to make a quality school. In this case the homeroom teacher is faced with a problem that is the selection of high achieving students who fit the criteria desired by the school. The purpose of this study is to analyze which factors are the most dominant in determining student achievement. The selection of high achieving students has many factors and has different values, so we need an Analytic Network Process (ANP) method to overcome them. Analytic Network Process (ANP) methods including decision support system techniques, Analytic Network Process (ANP) is a mathematical theory that allows dealing with interrelated factors and feedback in a structured manner. The data of this study came from student questionnaires which had a rating of 1-10. With alternative morals (A1), Grades (A2), Discipline (A3), Absence (A4), The role of the teacher (A5). Whereas A1 0.16%, A2 0.02%, A3 0.02%, A4 0.07% and A5 0.06%. It is hoped that this research can provide input to the MTS Pembina schools to focus on the dominant factor in the selection of outstanding students so as to increase the number of outstanding students.

Over the last decade, the U.S. federal government has increasingly turned to spatially targeted tax incentives to promote postdisaster revitalization. The logic behind this policy orientation is that targeting public subsidies to particular disaster zones will speed community recovery and encourage business reinvestment. To evaluate this claim, this paper uses the case of the Gulf Opportunity (GO) Zone of 2005 that provided tax incentives to businesses in the Gulf Coast area affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita from 2006 through December 2011. Drawing on qualitative and quantitative data, I find that damage was not a consistently significant determinant of GO Zone bond allocation at the parish level. Rather, GO Zone bonds were mainly allocated in low–damage areas and underutilized in New Orleans and heavily damaged areas. Though policy makers designed the program to stimulate small business recovery, GO Zone benefits went to large businesses located in areas least damaged by the hurricanes. Overall, the allocation of bonds using a first–come, first–served strategy combined with the huge size of the GO Zone reduced the effectiveness of the incentives offered and reinforced the disincentives for locating business and investment in disaster–devastated areas.

African nations with theirmultilingual nature still face challenges in the language of formal education. With thecognitive and academic leveragesattachedto home language, language educationistsandlinguistic scholars believe that a child must be taught first in their mother-tongue, usually, their firstlanguage, in which theydisplay an appreciable level of competence,before any other language/s are introduced. Many studies have been conducted onthe language policy issues in Ghana but the current study adds a dimension from parents and even the learners who are key stakeholders and recipients of the policy. This study sought to find out the level of awareness of thestakeholders; teachers, parents and pupils,their position and the impactof their positionon learning outcomes. It also investigated stakeholders’position in using only English to teach at the lower primary. Using a survey descriptive research methodology, data was collectedvia both structured and unstructured interviews, andobservation. Both qualitative and quantitative methods wereused to analyze data.The research revealed that among the three stakeholders, teachers were more conversant with Ghana’s language policy. All stakeholdersendorsed the policy for teaching and learning purposes. Even though, most teachers preferred to blend English and alocal language, a fewcould speak the local language of the community, or have been trained in the use of the local language for instructional purposes. All stakeholders favoured a blend of English with the local languages.

The objective of the study was to compare the tax instruments (both incentives and disincentives) applied in selected developing countries (four BRICS countries, namely South Africa, China, Brazil and India) to reduce their emissions from electricity generation, in an attempt to identify areas for possible improvement or expansion in South Africa. Increased renewable energy, energy efficiency and research and development relating to these fields can contribute to the reduction of emissions resulting from electricity generation. A number of similar tax incentives were identified in the countries, the majority of which appear to be more beneficial in the comparative countries than in South Africa. It could be worth considering improving some of the existing incentives in South Africa to be more beneficial to taxpayers. In addition, a number of tax instruments that are applied in some of the comparative countries, were identified and suggested for consideration by the South African government.
