There is currently limited public information available concerning methods for the selection of appropriate water treatment technologies for application in acute phase emergency water and sanitation responses. Considering the number of available emergency water treatment and supply options, it is speculated that a framework methodology offering guidance in the form of a selection process would offer advantages. This process would relate a defined set of emergency factors to a selection of available water treatment and supply options, described by a basic, but complete, set of technical and operational characteristics. It is suggested that, whilst not a complete process, the proposed framework methodology is sufficient to lead to the identification and selection of appropriate options for deployment. Furthermore the support of critical decision making by a logical framework, could help shape and justify the actions of agencies and workers in the field.

<p>The use of jajan in the masabatan biu ceremony in achi katiga tradition in the village of Tenganan Dauh Tukad Karangasem is closely related to the natural conditions of the area. Considering that the nature is rich with natural resource to be used as a complement in the masabatan biu ceremony. The achi katiga tradition is part of culture. The implementation of the achi katiga tradition contains noble values inherited by the ancestors. These values certainly need to be practiced by the community so that they can be understood and developed by the community. The use of jajan at the masabatan biu ceremony can be used in selection of saye , the communication of this organization helps in the selection process. Selection of Saye is the selection of candidates for the leadership of Sekaa Teruna Dukuh Mengku The uniqueness of the selection of Saye is that not all members can become prospective leaders. So that in this background a problem statement can be drawn, namely what is the shape of the jajan symbol made by roban in the implementation of the Aci katiga Tradition? What is the function of the Achintya Jajan symbol made by roban in the implementation of the Aci katiga Tradition? What is the meaning of the jajan symbol made by roban in the implementation of the Aci katiga Tradition? The three formulations of this problem are dissected using Religious Theory is one of the most complex and<br />evolving elements in various places in the world. According to Koentjaraningrat (1980: 228-229) that if someone does something in the world, then there will be four main elements of religion in general, namely: (1). (2) a system of belief or human images about the shape of the world, nature, the unseen, life, death, etc .; (3) a system of implementation related to the world; and (4) community groups or social units that conceptualize and revive religion and the system of religious ceremonies. The use of Symbol Theory to reveal the meaning of the symbol of the use of jajan in the ceremony of the masabatan biu to the Achi katiga tradition. Etymologically, symbols or symbols are derived from the Greek word “ syim-ballein “ which means throwing together (objects, deeds) openness of ideas. Perception theory is the core of communication, whereas interpretation (interpretation) is the core of perception, which is identical to the decoding in the persepni process of the symbol’s meaning in the use of jajan in the ceremony of the mesabatan biu in the Achi katiga tradition. The method of data have been used is information, interviews, and documentation. Observation of the analyze,<br />observations Interviews are carried out by constructing people, events, activities, organizations, motivations, feelings, etc. that are carried out by two parties, namely the interviewer (interviewer) who asks questions with the person interviewed (interviewed).</p>

Water treatment plants (WTPs) are responsible for ensuring supply of healthy water to urban and rural consumers for drinking and other related purposes. But the arbitrary selection of a location for installation or relocation of WTPs often fails the purpose of the plant. Presently studies in location selection for water treatment plant are rare. Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods and bagged polynomial neural networks (PNN) were found to be exemplary and easy to use tools for prediction, simulation and optimization of decision-making objectives. The present study tries to apply the advantages of MCDM and bagged PNNs in the identification of an ideal location for a surface water treatment plant. The most significant parameter is found to be WQI which represents the overall quality of water suitable for domestic use. The PNN models were developed with all the selected eight alternatives as input and output. The algorithms like GMDH, SFS, SMS, and QC were used to estimate the weight of connections in between the input and hidden; and hidden and output layers separately for each segment. The application of these two soft computation tools provides an opportunity to the decision maker in the selection of optimal location with the help of an objective and cognitive method.

This article discusses the post-clientelist initiatives used by political parties in the selection of candidates within the party to determine the regent and vice regents nominated for the local election. Candidate selection is the political domain of political parties, but in the context of figure-based politics, parties tend to play more as political vehicle in the candidacy of local head. Through this role, resource exchanges take place between parties and candidates within the internal party candidacy arena. Using qualitative methods through in-depth interviews and observations of candidate selection in the Bekasi Regent 2017 election, this article seeks to reveal how post-clientelist initiatives are used by party elites to optimize the incumbency advantage as main political resource in the candidate selection to determine who will pair the incumbent. The results show that the dominance of party elites in candidate selection process determines how financial resources and political support are optimized to win the incumbent. Decision to choose the vice-regent from the same party while still forming coalitions with other parties indicates that post-clientelistic strategy is operated both internally and externally. This practice confirms the tendency of the candidate selection model to be more inclusive because it involves other parties, but remains pragmatic.

Selection of efficient supplier is essential in a Supply Chain Management. It increases product quality, reduces wastage and saves time. In recent past, many methods were used in supplier selection process. Selection of efficient supplier that suits the manufacturer criteria is needed. The proposed method comprises of two stages that integrates Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). The efficiency of the given set of suppliers is evaluated using DEA method in the first stage that filters the given list of suppliers. While in the second stage, TOPSIS method is applied to select one of the efficient suppliers shortlisted in first stage. Integration of two methods reduces the selection time. Since the data provided and the criteria considered are vague and imprecise in nature, decision making is done in intuitionistic fuzzy environment. The proposed methodology is demonstrated with a numerical illustration.

Selection of personnel in organizations is usually a difficult task. The process gets even more complicated when the selection takes place in complex organizations where different areas can work towards multiple objectives. As many areas might be involved in the selection, the process can become complex and hard to manage. Therefore, it is desirable to use decision-making tools to make the process easier. In this article, we propose new methodology for personnel selection based on Multi-criteria Decision Analysis and the integration of qualitative and quantitative data. We demonstrate the selection process on the case of the Mexican football team selection for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. For the purpose of the article, experts’ opinions are used to evaluate the crucial parameters for the selection.

Airport projects can have a significant impact on sustainable development. In Germany, as in many other developed countries, airport development is confronting a dilemma because, on the one hand, airports are important infrastructural components and, on the other hand, airport development faces strong resistance from local populations and interest groups. Thus, uncertainties and long time periods, up to 20 years from the beginning of planning to breaking ground, are quite normal. To ease airport development in Germany, administrative procedures and public participation were enhanced. Nevertheless, even with improved public participation, siting decisions in the case of Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) were lengthy as usual and remain controversial today due to the selection of Schönefeld as the site. Against this background, it seems that public participation in the case of the BER site selection did not particularly deliver the hoped-for results, but why? To answer this question, Creighton’s principles of effective public participation are employed as benchmarks. Moreover, the benchmarking indicates that public participation was not effectively applied. Thus, the possible benefits of public participation could not or could only be partly reaped. Furthermore, from a broader politico-economic perspective, the analysis exposes that public participation was just “a small cog in the machine” of the BER site selection process. It seems that other factors had a more substantial influence on the siting decision than public participation and led decision makers, in addition to regular challenges, into a predicament that might have made Schönefeld the only possible siting solution. In this context, different counterfactual scenarios are discussed to show under which circumstances other outcomes might have occurred regarding the BER site selection.

Abstract In vitro selection of ligand-responsive ribozymes can identify rare, functional sequences from large libraries. While powerful, key caveats of this approach include lengthy and demanding experimental workflows; unpredictable experimental outcomes and unknown functionality of enriched sequences in vivo. To address the first of these limitations, we developed Ligase-Assisted Selection for the Enrichment of Responsive Ribozymes (LigASERR). LigASERR is scalable, amenable to automation and requires less time to implement compared to alternative methods. To improve the predictability of experiments, we modeled the underlying selection process, predicting experimental outcomes based on sequence and population parameters. We applied this new methodology and model to the enrichment of a known, in vitro-selected sequence from a bespoke library. Prior to implementing selection, conditions were optimized and target sequence dynamics accurately predicted for the majority of the experiment. In addition to enriching the target sequence, we identified two new, theophylline-activated ribozymes. Notably, all three sequences yielded riboswitches functional in Escherichia coli, suggesting LigASERR and similar in vitro selection methods can be utilized for generating functional riboswitches in this organism.
