In a country where farmers rely on conventional wisdom to make decisions on farming practices and the government lacks clear policies based on solid research, pesticide overuse is emerging as a problem. Mancozeb, the widely applied pesticide in Nepal’s vegetable farming, has both short- and long-term health consequences to people exposed to its unsafe levels. A handful of studies in the hill regions of Nepal suggest that the pesticide is being sprayed to farms at much higher level than recommended. The widespread misuse and dangerous consequences of this pesticide suggest a need for more thorough study, better instruction, and more effective control.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/hjs.v6i8.1794 Himalayan Journal of Sciences Vol.6 Issue 8 2010 pp.9-10

Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity

Abstract: This research was conducted to determine the effect of taxes, Sukuk, grants, inflation, foreign debt, total financing, and the network of Islamic bank offices on Indonesia's economic growth. Research data for each variable is monthly from 2009-2018. Data analysis variables use Error Correction Model (ECM) Test and Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (ARCH) Test with Eviews ver.10. The results showed that in the short and long term, variables taxes, Sukuk, inflation, foreign debt, total financing, and office networks of Islamic banks) affected the Indonesian economic growth. At the same time, grants have no significant effect on economic growth. For variable predictions in the next year (2019), only economic growth, grants, inflation, foreign debt, and network of Islamic bank offices can be predicted. Meanwhile, taxes, Sukuk, and total financing cannot be identified in 2019 because the variables are not significant in the ARCH analysis, so it cannot be diagnosed about future values. This result implies that the government and the community must continue to work together to manage state revenues used to fund productive projects to stimulate economic growth.Abstrak: Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pajak, sukuk negara, hibah, inflasi, utang luar negeri, jumlah pembiayaan dan jaringan kantor bank syariah terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia. Data penelitian setiap variabel berupa bulanan dari tahun 2009-2018. Uji variabel penelitian menggunakan Uji Error Correction Model (ECM) dan Uji ARCH menggunakan Eviews ver.10. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam jangka pendek maupun jangka panjang, variabel pajak, sukuk negara, inflasi, utang luar negeri, jumlah pembiayaan dan jaringan kantor bank syariah berpengaruh signifikan terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia. Sedangkan variabel hibah tidak berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi. Untuk prediksi variabel di tahun berikutnya (tahun 2019), hanya variabel pertumbuhan ekonomi, hibah, inflasi, utang luar negeri dan jumlah jaringan kantor bank syariah yang dapat diprediksi, sedangkan pajak, sukuk negara, dan jumlah pembiayaan tidak dapat diketahui nilai perkembangannya di tahun 2019 karena variabel tersebut tidak signifikan pada analisis ARCH. Sehingga tidak dapat di diagnosa dalam bentuk ARCH untuk dilakukan forecast data agar diketahui tentang nilai di masa yang akan datang. Implikasi dari temuan ini adalah diperlukan upaya yang berkesinambungan dari pemerintah dan masyarakat dalam mengelola penerimaan negara yang dimanfaatkan untuk mendanai proyek yang produktif sehingga dapat mempercepat pertumbuhan ekonomi.

Long-term trends in oil price are discussed in the article. We find out that both short- and long-term projections mainly extrapolate into the future current developments in hydrocarbon prices. Meanwhile both historical data and analysis of fundamental economic mechanisms reveal supercycles - price waves with large amplitude and length amounting to several decades. Implications for fiscal policy from oil price swings are considered. We demonstrate in particular that these swings ensure high returns on the oil fund operations due to substantial gap between exchange rates at the periods of fund replenishment and withdrawal. This makes the oil Reserve fund mechanism by far more profitable for the government than other potential investment tools.

Illegal fishing is an act that is very detrimental to a nation and state. The impact will be seen in the short and long term. The government makes handling illegal fishing crimes a very serious concern. This study aims to determine the forms of illegal fishing, AIRUD Police efforts in overcoming and knowing the inhibiting factors of illegal fishing in Tanjungbalai waters. Descriptive analytical research means trying to collect, study, analyze, and describe the illegal fishing countermeasures. The results showed the forms of illegal fishing in Tanjungbalai, namely the use of fishing gear that is in conflict with the laws and regulations (trawl pull). The efforts of AIRUD Police in tackling the occurrence of illegal fishing in the waters of Tanjungbalai are preventive and repressive efforts. Preventive efforts aimed at increasing the intensity of the socialization of laws and regulations to the public, and increasing patrols in waters according to the scope of duties of the Air Force Police Tanjungbalai. Refressive efforts, namely describing decisive action against illegal fishing perpetrators so that it provides a deterrent effect and then provides direction so as not to do the same thing over and over again. The obstacles of AIRUD Police in tackling illegal fishing are the lack of personnel, and the fishermen's HR which are still relatively low, the completeness of facilities and supporting facilities that are still limited in increasing routine patrols in carrying out the tasks of supervision, protection and protecting the special community of fishermen in the waters.

In the second half of the twentieth century, global security issues have quickly transformed into what is defined nowadays as non-traditional security issues and the latest of such non-traditional security problem has emerged recently as the recent Covid-19 pandemic impacted the whole world on an unprecedented scale. Indonesia, as the fourth most populated country with 267 million people, face an extraordinary challenge and therefore it is interesting to see and to learn how the situation developed, what the Government of Indonesia did, included what the Government should do, not only from the healthcare point of view, but also from other perspectives such as social and political. Using the problems arising during the pandemic in Indonesia as a non-traditional security issue, the present work aims to assess the difficulties faced by the country in order to establish a set of short and long term plans that should be addressed in order to improve the preparedness and to correct the current flaws generating difficulties to develop an optimal response. Governmental decisions and communication should be clear and follow a solid strategy to ensure population awareness. Law enforcement should strictly emphasize on the dangerousness of Covid-19. Coordination between central and local governments should be efficient and involve experts and respected figures. Not only healthcare but also economic, social and political issues need to be planned and projected during and after pandemic and the lessons taken during this pandemic should be used to build solid and better foundations for future development of the Republic of Indonesia.

Abstract Background/Aim: Sports-related concussions are now recognized as a major public health concern. However, despite the association of concussion with short- and long-term health consequences, many young athletes still lack basic knowledge about concussion and seem to believe that concussions may be “toughed out” and do not require medical attention. This study assessed self-reported practice of playing in training or a match while concussed among Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) athletes in Ireland aged 13–25 years old (M=19.19, SD=3.54). This study also assessed knowledge about and attitudes towards sports-related concussion in GAA players in Ireland. Methods: Using a self-report questionnaire, data were captured electronically on GAA athletes aged 13–25 years old (n=80) regarding knowledge about the detection, assessment and management of sports-related concussion, as well as participant’s attitudes towards concussion and self-reported practice of playing in training or a match while concussed. Data were collected from June to August 2013. Results: This study revealed that approximately one in four athletes reported having played while concussed in practice or during a match. Males were significantly more likely to play while concussed than females (40.9% and 17.2%, respectively). Results from this study indicated participants lack a complete understanding of concussion, as common misconceptions about concussion prevailed. Analyses revealed that participants generally have safe attitudes towards concussion and concussion management. Conclusion: Generating awareness of the potential short- and long-term health consequences of concussion, coupled with the promotion of safer attitudes towards this injury, could minimize the number of players who return-to-play pre-maturely and promote a more safety-conscious sports culture in Ireland.

This paper provides a modeling framework based on the system dynamics approach by which policy makers can understand the dynamic and complex nature of the policies on prioritizing public transportation within a transportation socioeconomic system. Since the government has implemented the policies on prioritizing public transportation, a framework that helps policy makers to understand the impacts of such policies is currently quite relevant. Within this framework, 6 basic subsystems: population, economic development, environmental influence, public transport development, private cars development and priority polices, focuses on the short-and long-term system behaviors.

Goals And Objectives

The eighth inter-African public administration seminar, sponsored jointly by the Government of Liberia and the Ford Foundation, was attended by 37 leading civil servants from English-speaking Africa, as well as by observers from I.D.E.P., C.A.F.R.A.D., and U.N. E.C.A.President Tubman delivered the keynote address, in which he recognised the need for regional economic co-operation, urged the investigation of the problems and difficulties on the way, and stressed the essential role of civil servants in bringing about such co-operation. In the discussion that followed many participants expressed the view that goals and objectives must be denned as carefully and realistically as possible if both short- and long-term results are to be achieved. It would also be important to take into account the current level of development in African countries.
