Marine pollution from wastewater is a problem especially pronounced on large cruise ships. There is a great disproportion in quality of discharged wastewater directly related to the type of wastewater treatment system installed on cruise ships. To obtain exact empirical data case study was done which included one-year monitoring of cruise ships in the Adriatic Sea, their routes and retention times in defined navigation zones. The aim of this paper is to present data related to the coastal sea area of the Republic of Croatia and display results of marine pollution for that area. The scientific contribution of the research can be recognized in the evaluation of pollution of coastal areas in the Republic of Croatia in different scenarios of wastewater discharge and identification of gray water as a pollutant which is not recognized by the international legal regulations.

Purpose This paper aims to provide an overview of the quality of corporate governance (CG) disclosures in the framework of CGS and the “comply or explain” code principle in Slovenia. It aims to observe the differences among companies of the prime, standard and entry markets in terms of the differences in governance standards and regulatory frameworks. Design/methodology/approach This paper analyzes the historical development, legal approach and methods used in the regulation of the “comply or explain” principle in Slovenia. In the 2014 SEECGAN research – Slovenia, we measured the quality of CG by applying the newly created SEECGAN index methodology covering seven segments of CG and assessing 98 attributes. This paper upgrades the results of this research with additional case study research. Findings The analysis from 2011 to 2014 on the “comply or explain” principle showed a gradual improvement of transparency in Slovenian public companies. The 2014 SEECGAN research – Slovenia revealed that the number of specific and high-quality explanations of deviations has increased. The study in this paper showed that the governance practice in some cases is still not in line with code recommendations and does not disclose the deviations from the code. Originality/value Disclosures of the Slovenian public companies are presented for the period 2004-2018. This paper points out the improvements to be realized to change unsatisfactory practices. The measurement of the quality of CG by the 2014 SEECGAN research – Slovenia introduced a methodology, which could be recognized and improved by the EU and/or its member states.

This study describe the design features and performance of the unglazed transpired solar dryer for large and medium scale drying of Dates in the Dates growing area of Pakistan. The dryer has the designed capacity to dry 500 Kg of Dates from Khalaal (70% humidity) to Tamar (25% humidity), at 55 C ± 5 C in 72 continuous hours using biomass furnace as an auxiliary heat source and it covers approximately 256 m2 areas. This is the ideal humidity condition to store Dates for one year without any further degradation. In traditional open sunshine the huge quantity of Dates are dried in over 150 h hours and requires hectare of area to spread the Dates. Moreover, the quality of Dates in the open sunshine is affected badly due to two main reasons. Firstly, the heavy dust in the area that sticks the Dates during the drying process makes them unable to eat. Secondly, the Monsoon rains in the months of July and August also destroys Dates placed in the open areas for drying. Dera Ismail (D.I.) Khan, a remote district of Khyber Pakhtoon Khawa province of Pakistan, was selected to study the performance of Dates dryer, where solar insolation is 700-750 W/m2 in the months of July and August. The Dates were dried continuously and during off sunshine hours biomass auxiliary source was used. This solar dryer, containing eight trolleys and each trolley is loaded with twelve trays, is the first in Pakistan to dry a large amount of Dates. Moreover, the unglazed transpired dryer is designed in such a way that it can withstand the dusty atmosphere of D.I. Khan and also protect the Dates from dust and rainy water during the drying period. The design does not have any adverse effect on the quality of dried Dates. In D.I. Khan around 350 days are sunny per year and solar thermal technology is economically feasible compared to other conventional energy resources with a payback period of 3 and 7.5 years compared to un-subsided and subsided cost of Natural Gas respectively. The Natural Gas is the cheapest conventional energy source in Pakistan. But solar thermal technology is yet not popular source of energy in the area due to lack of information, fear of initial capital cost and weak government policies for renewable energies. This study also incorporates the recommendations to overcome these issues regarding Solar Thermal Technology, PACS Number: 44.40.+a, 89.30.Cc, 84.60.- h, 89.30.-g.

ABSTRAK Keadaan dunia pendidikan di Indonesia masih belum menggembirakan, kendala diantaranya adalah keterbatasan akses pendidikan, jumlah guru yang tidak merata serta kualitas dari guru dinilai masih kurang. Menurut survei Political and Economic Risk Consultant (PERC), kualitas pendidikan di Indonesia berada pada urutan ke-12 dari 12 negara di Asia. Posisi Indonesia berada di bawah Vietnam. Salah satu langkah pemerintah untuk menghadapi masalah ini adalah dengan mengadakan program Indonesia mengajar yaitu merekrut, melatih dan mengirimkan anak muda Indonesia yang merupakan lulusan terbaik perguruan tinggi, untuk bertugas selama satu tahun di berbagai daerah di Indonesia sebagai guru sekolah dasar. Di luar tugas dasarnya sebagai guru, para Pengajar Muda ini memiliki mandat untuk menggerakkan perubahan perilaku di tempatnya bertugas menjadi lebih baik. Dan sebagai bentuk dukungan terhadap program ini, Sekolah Tinggi Manajemen IPMI melakukan pelatihan untuk para Calon Pengajar Muda (CPM) terutama untuk kemampuan kepemimpinan dan pelatihan. Metode yang digunakan pada pelatihan ini berupa ceramah, tanya-jawab, studi kasus, dengan menjelaskan kepemimpinan secara umum, kepemimpinan dalam diri sendiri, kepemimpinan dan hubungannya dalam membangun hubungan yang efektif dengan pihak lain, bagaimana melakukan coaching yang efektif terhadap pihak lain,  dan bagaimana memberi feedback/umpan balik yang efektif kepada pihak lain. Setelah pelatihan ini, diharapkan para CPM akan memiliki dan mendemonstrasikan ketrampilan perilaku  kepemimpinan yang siap menjalani tantangan serta dapat menginspirasi peserta didik dan pihak lainnya. ABSTRACT In general, the condition of the education in Indonesia yet is not encouraging, among others many obstacles noted; limitation of education access, the number of teachers which is not evenly distributed, particularly to the remote areas and the quality of the teachers which does not yet meet the expectation. As per Political and Economic Risk Consultant (PERC) survey, the quality of education in Indonesia was ranked at number 12 out of 12 countries in Asia. Indonesia position was below Vietnam. One of the initiative, which is taken by the Indonesian government to reduce the gap is creating a program so called Indonesia teaching (Indonesia mengajar) by recruiting, training, and sending young people who are the best graduates of many universities to teach as elementary school teachers for one year from all over the places within Indonesia. Aside of their main duty to teach, they also have been mandated to change the behavior of the people around to be better. To support the said program, Sekolah Tinggi Manajemen IPMI has conducted a workshop regarding leadership and coaching for the candidates of young teachers (CPM). The methods of the workshop are lecturing, question and answer, case study, an explanation of the definition of the leadership in general, the leadership within own self, the leadership in regards to building the effective interrelationship with other people, how doing the effective coaching, how to give the effective feedback. Upon completion of the workshop it is expected that the CPMs will be able  to demonstrate the leadership behavior, ready to undergo the challenges and to inspire their students including other people surrounding.

In the constitutional arrangement of Indonesia, the House of Regional Representative of the Republic of Indonesia (DPD RI) becomes a representative institution that has the task to accommodate regional interests in political decisions. One form of public accountability for members of the DPD RI is to follow up regional aspirations. The problem of the free health service program in Banten Province, which is considered to be in conflict with Law Number 24 of 2011 concerning the Social Security Organizing Agency, examines the quality of the representative functions of DPD RI members as people's representatives in the regional context with the orientation of regional interests. This study aims to explain the roles and obligations of DPD RI members in following up on their regional aspirations. This research was conducted using qualitative methods with a case study approach. The results of this study indicate that the success of DPD RI members' accountability depends on their ability to establish good relationships with executive institutions and local governments. The accountability of DPD RI members is proven in this case because the Ministry of Health is now supporting the Banten Provincial Government's policy to fill a vacancy before all Banten people are registered as National Health Insurance participants.

There are several factors which have an influence in the selective collection of the municipal waste. To define a selective collection system, the waste generation pattern should be firstly determined and these factors should be analyzed in depth. This paper tries to analyze the economic income level and the seasonal variation on the collection and the purity of light-packaging waste to determine actions to improve the waste management plan of a town. In the first stage of the work, waste samples of the light-packaging containers were collected in two zones of the town with different economic characteristics in different seasons during one year. In the second stage, the samples were characterized to analyze the composition and purity of the waste. They were firstly separated into four fractions: metals; plastic; beverage cartons; and misplaced materials. The misplaced fraction was in its turn separated into cardboard, rubber and leather, inert waste, organic matter, paper, hazardous waste, clothes and shoes, glass and others. The plastic fraction was separated into five types of plastics and the metal fraction into three. In the third stage, the data have been analyzed and conclusions have been extracted. The main result is that the quality of the light-packaging fraction collected in these zones during both seasons were similar. This methodology can be extrapolated to towns with similar characteristics. It will be useful when implementing a system to collect the waste selectively and to develop actions to achieve a good participation in the selective collection of the waste.
