Stabilisation pond (SP) and high-rate algal pond (HRAP) wastewater treatment systems are based on the same processes, but differ in their capacity to remove ammonia. This study analyzes the processes concerning ammonia elimination. The different factors studied are: (i) light irradiance and temperature, (ii) phytoplankton uptake, and (iii) chemical characteristics affecting ammonia concentration. The variables relevant to these processes have been used in path analysis studies. Different variables describing the studied processes have been used to quantify the different phenomena. A conceptual model has been developed, and applied to each pond. Path analysis technique has been applied. It is a causal modelling technique. The evaluation of causal models involves theoretical, methodological and statistical analysis. Theoretical considerations have been defined in the list of the processes studied. Methodological considerations involve the variable measurements on a defined time-scale. The statistical aspect consists of the evaluation of structural equation models. The results of these studies show that the principal phenomena affecting ammonia in SP systems are temperature, pH, and total nitrogen input. In HRAP systems ammonia variability is directly linked to pH, temperature, nitrite and total nitrogen input, and indirectly linked to chlorophyll a concentration and pH. The percentage of observed variability given by the models (R2 =coefficient of determination) ranges between 46% and 60.8%.

The ShareSEM project is a simple depository of R scripts for running structural equation models and Bayesian modelling in R. The scripts are designed such that, if measurement items are named consistently, models can be ran with no extra scripting. If models or items differ from the template file, the scripts are designed to be easily adaptable. Bayesian path analysis scripts are also available, with pre-specified priors from meta-analyses of the models.

Income in Islamic banks is primarily determined by how much profit or profit the bank receives. Several factors that become indicators of Islamic Bank income are financing funding and the lack of non-performing financing. The greater the financing of third-party funds, the greater the profit to be received, and the higher the NPF level, the lower the bank's profit. Banks with a large enough CAR will be able to increase bank profitability. The NPF variable harms ROA because a decrease in the NPF ratio will increase bank profits. And the CAR variable as an intervening variable also has a positive effect on ROA because an increased CAR will increase bank profitability. Whereas when the NPF decreases, the profitability of Islamic banks also decreases, while when FDR and CAR increase, ROA decreases. The formulation of the problem in this study is whether there is a partial and simultaneous influence of FDR and NPF on ROA?. Is there a partial and simultaneous influence of FDR, NPF, and CAR on ROA. This research is a quantitative study with the population of Islamic Commercial Banks in Indonesia registered with the Financial Services Authority (OJK). In comparison, the sample of this study was determined by purposive sampling method with criteria determined by the researcher so that 4 Islamic commercial banks were obtained from 2012 to 2019. This study used secondary data with research methods using quantitative methods with an associative approach. Data collection techniques were carried out by observation. The data analysis technique used in this research is the associative analysis technique, namely multiple linear regression testing, classical assumption test, hypothesis testing, coefficient of determination test, and path analysis. The results of this study indicate that partially the FDR variable has an insignificant negative effect on ROA, NPF has a significant negative effect on ROA. In comparison, CAR has a positive and significant effect on ROA. Simultaneously, the FDR and NPF variables have no significant effect on ROA. For the results of the path analysis, it is found that the CAR variable cannot mediate the effect of FDR and NPF on ROA.
