In his address delivered at the 15th Annual Conference of the Pakistan Economic Association, Dr. M. N. Huda has reviewed the planning experience in Pakistan. He is eminently suited to undertake this review as he has been very intimately associated with the planning processes at both the provincial and central government levels. The address, though brief, raises a number of important issues in regard to the formulation and implementation of the annual and five-year plans of the country, issues which deserve serious consideration by the planning authorities. The following discussion of his address is an attempt to supplement some of the points raised' by him. With the quickening pace of economic development, the need for more and accurate data is being increasingly felt in the country. Lack of adequate and reliable data not only hampers the use of sophisticated analytical tools for formulating comprehensive national and regional plans but also adversely affects the measurement of the performance of the economy from year to year. This is not the occasion to go into the details of the merits and demerits of the statistical series which are now being published by various sources. Suffice it to say that there is a great need of improving the contents, quality and regular¬ity of these data. The collection of statistics is not keeping pace with the improvements in the economic activity. Even such vital information as the size of population and its rate of growth is not known with any reasonable accuracy. The results of the 1961 Census of Population are generally adjusted upward by 8.25 per cent for underenumeration in the census. Similarly, the average rate of inter-censal increase in 1961 Census was estimated to be 2.15 per cent for Pakistan, 2.36 per cent for West and 1.91 per cent for East Pakistan. The annual rate of growth of population is now assumed to be 2.6 per cent although there is evidence that it exceeds 3 per cent.

When the concentration dependence of an enzymic reaction or a transport process can be described by the sum of two Michaelis-Menten terms, reliable data that relate reaction rate and substrate concentration can be obtained even when as much as 70 per cent of substrate was consumed during the assay. Each data pair consists of the average reaction rate during an assay and the concentration where the instantaneous reaction rate was equal to the average rate. Although that concentration cannot be computed exactly (as it depends on the four kinetic parameters), it may be computed in a good approximation as if the reaction followed the simple Michaelis-Menten relationship. The relative error in the approximated concentration for 1 ≦ K2/K1 ≦ 105 and 10-2 ≦ V2/V1 ≦ 102 did not exceed 5 per cent up to 50 per cent of substrate consumption, and did not exceed 10 per cent up to 70 per cent of substrate consumption

The study of monitoring and analysis of coastline change and erosion prediction has been widely used satellite imagery. Satellite data that is often used in monitoring studies and analysis of coastline changes are Landsat, Quickbird, Allos, SPOT, IKONOS, etc. The aim of study is to determine an average of coastline change and average of coastal erosion in coastal area of Tabanan Regency, Bali Province, Indonesia by using two kind satellite are SPOT 5 in 2009 has a spatial resolution of 10 m (multispectral) and SPOT 6/7 in 2015 has a spatial resolution 1.5 m. This research contributes to local government and central government as a database in decision making for coastal area management. The result of analysis shows the average of coastline change in Tabanan regency is 13.96 m and the average rate of coastal erosion is 1.99 m/year. The coastline movement or erosion has caused the morphological changes.

Administrative Transboundary Project: Public Participation Analysis in Indonesia’s New Capital City Planning Processes The Central Government of the Republic of Indonesia once again formulated a plan for moving the National Capital (IKN). The existing government centers in DKI Jakarta Province will be moved to North Penajam Paser Regency and Kutai Kartanegara Regency in East Kalimantan Province. As the progress of planning and preparation for the implementation of this discourse, public opinion is still dominated by negative sentiment, one of the escalated issues is public participation. As the core of democracy, public participation in decision making in the Republic of Indonesia is a necessity. This study intends to review the IKN planning process that has been carried out from the perspective of the participation ladder theory. Descriptive qualitative method used by analyzing electronic news (understanding chronological stories of the project) and media social data (public participation and perception). Comparing those data with previous researches were done to increase depth of analysis. The result showed that participatory regional planning process in IKN project is in the degree of tokenism or symbolism. This is hoped to provide evaluation in the implementation of the capital city relocation project, thus could contribute in creating more inclusive planning processes in further implementation stages.

✓ Bilateral intracerebral hydatid cysts developed in a 14-year-old patient after an infarct of presumed embolic origin in the left frontotemporoparietal region. The average rate of growth of these cysts was about 5 cm per year. This suggests that the growth rate is far from uniform and indeed, particularly in young patients, may be much faster than originally estimated.

Comprehensive earthquake disaster preparedness planning encompasses two distinct but related elements: emergency planning and hazard mitigation. A comparison of U.S. and Japanese earthquake disaster planning processes shows a major contrast in approach. The U.S. approach is based on legislation that loosely defines issues, but has no clear management structure. Japanese planning established a clear relationship between research, planning, and operations, and is strongly administered by central government which provides methodologies and assistance to lower governmental levels. However, neither the U.S. nor Japan procedures have yet been tested by a major event. The U.S. approach relies extensively on improvisation, and limited experience shows that this may be relatively effective: Japanese planning may be too fragile in relying too much on centralized management and communications.

The economy continued to grow faster than its trend rate in the first half of 2004. Preliminary estimates show GDP rising by 0.9 per cent in the second quarter of the year. Measured on an annualised basis, this brings the average rate of growth since the middle of last year to 3.6 per cent. It is our view that this brings the economy very close to capacity. We expect the output gap to average 0.1 per cent of trend GDP this year (see chart 1).
