Petroleum Refineries

The petroleum refining industry plays a significant role in the national economic activities of Bangladesh. Though, potential environmental hazards related to petroleum and petrochemical factories have caused increased concern for peoples near them. This apprises provides a general impression of the processes involved and some possible environmental contamination associated with petroleum industries. Petroleum refineries separate crude oils into different petroleum materials through a sequence of physical and chemical separation methods. The refining industry provided numerous widely used products as well as gasoline, diesel, kerosene, motor oil, asphalt, waxes, and petroleum gel. But refineries are usually considered a key source of contaminants in areas where they are located and contaminate the air, soil, water system. Pollutant releases from the petroleum refineries occur in every stage of the oil-producing procedure from the extraction to the consumption chain. Now a day, due to vast environmental contamination it is crucially needed to find out of alternative cleaner energy sources rather than liquid petroleum. Bangladesh, a highly populated country and have no sufficient ability to tackle any natural and anthropogenic pollution. So, the environmental impact of petroleum refinery emission in Bangladesh is a serious concern to the government and environmentalists.

ABSTRACT While many nations are struggling to slow the transmission rate of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Vietnam has seen no new locally acquired cases since April 16. After implementing 22 d of nationwide social distancing, on April 23, the government of Vietnam announced the easing of social distancing measures. This allows the country to restart its socio-economic activities in a gradual, prudent manner. Domestic tourism and exports of agricultural and anti-COVID-19 medical products take priority over the other sectors in this postpandemic economic recovery. Importantly, the country needs to stay vigilant on the fight against the disease to prevent a possibility of another outbreak.

The Impact

Air pollution continues to be an environmental problem that poses a lot of health risks to the young and aged. Developed countries have invested heavily to curb this environmental problem, causing severe threats to human lives, yet the results do not look convincing. In developing countries, the situation is difficult than they can imagine, resulting in governments borrowing to fight what looks like a lost battle [1-3]. The in-depth study of this environmental menace - air pollution, suggests that the government enacts stringent measures to help fight this battle. This is because air pollution has natural (volcanic eruption) and anthropogenic (human activities) causes. In December 2019, the deadly Coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak was soon declared as a global pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO) [4]. Majority of countries have had their share of the impact of this outbreak. Many countries resorted to city lockdown to strictly control the movement of people and economic activities as recommended by WHO.

The cycle of individual and communal lives from birth to death is supposedly preserved by the government through institutions. However, political, social, and economic activities are engaged to make ends meet wherein the government is to serve as an unbiased regulator. The activities that play out in Southern Kaduna reflected politics of being on one side with interplay on origin, identity, religion, and locality. On the other hand, it reflects politics of belonging that play on kin, reciprocity, and stranger status. It has thus resulted in violence, suspicion, and persistent conflict. The study examines citizen’s inclusiveness in peacebuilding initiatives and the people’s perception of the sincerity of the government. The research relies on secondary sources where governmental and non-governmental publications and documents from relevant and reliable sources enriched the socio-historical approach, particularly those relating to contestation in the region. The study found out that just like situations in the other northwest states of the country, the crisis exacerbates by the government’s inability to mediate fairly between warring parties to ensure fairness and justice as well as failure to apprehend and punish the culprits, even as recommendations from the various interventions were unimplemented. Thus, the spate of violence continues.

Background: According to World Health Organization (WHO), vulnerable groups such as persons with disabilities are facing severe impacts of the pandemic. There has always been significant challenges and hurdles in terms of achieving adequate and equitable inclusivity of persons with disabilities in all sections of social life. Education and employment of persons with disabilities were least focused which created more marginalization for the community. The long term impact of these marginalization has also led to the lack of jobs and social security of persons with disabilities, which is very clear now given the crisis in place. In low and middle income countries like Bangladesh the situation is even worse. To better understand the conditions of persons with disabilities in this crisis situation, the present study was initiated to explore the dimensions of livelihood with respect to income and wellbeing of persons with disabilities and to generate evidence for developing policies around these issues.Methods: A qualitative study was undertaken among 30 persons with disabilities from 8 different geographical divisions of Bangladesh. The interviews were conducted through telephone calls due to the existing COVID-19 crisis and mobility restrictions. The respondents were purposively selected based on gender, type of disability, area of resident (urban, rural) and their ability to communicate, therefore most (25/30) respondents were persons with physical disability. Thematic analysis was conducted to generate the findings of the study.Findings: Study findings revealed that majority of the respondents were involved in informal jobs. Predominantly males were daily wage-earners and often the sole breadwinner of the families, very few females were involved in economic activities. Since they had no stable income, the economic shock from the COVID-19 pandemic had affected them badly even leading to household level famine. The study identifies low level of education and informal job security as the primary causes of socio-economic insecurity among persons with disabilities, resulting in challenges in ensuring a stable livelihood during crisis situations, such as COVID-19.Conclusion: Constant alienation of persons of disabilities from the formal sector results in the deterioration of their livelihood standards which even worsen during any emergency crisis such as COVID-19. The study pinpoints that only aided services are not adequate to ensure persons with disabilities' rights rather there is an urgent need of disability inclusion in formal job sector and livelihood training for persons with disabilities. To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 and to irradiate the inequality towards persons with disabilities in the society it is important for the Government and concern bodies to focus on the inclusiveness with better implementation and monitoring strategies.

Poverty is a problem faced by many developing countries in general. Poverty is a reflection of the economic activities carried out by a country. The poverty level of a country shows that the development programs implemented by the government are not optimal. This study was conducted to analyze the determinants of poverty in 10 provinces on the island of Sumatra from 2006-2019. Multiple regression equation models were built for this research using the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method with the e-views 8 tool. The results show that simultaneously, the independent variable has a significant effect on poverty and partially one variable that does not significantly affect poverty, namely unemployment. An increase in education (literacy rate) and infrastructure (road length) leads to an increase in poverty and inequality in income distribution (the Gini Index), resulting in a decrease in poverty. It is hoped that future researchers will use education, infrastructure, and income distribution variables with different proxies.

The government through the Ministry of National Education has planned a Vocational Development Program, one of which is to increase the number of existing SMKs so that in 2014 it is expected that the ratio of the number of SMKs: SMAs is 67%: 33% as stated in the 2010-2014 Ministry of National Education Strategic Plan policy. The author tries to research the development of Vocational High Schools (SMK) in Pontianak City by taking real data in the field seen from the aspect of the spectrum of expertise, the fulfillment of eight national education standards and the fulfillment of Human Resources which is more devoted to the availability of teachers. From these aspects, we can later see whether the real data that the author has obtained is in accordance with the economic activities of the city of Pontianak or not. This is done as an initial writing for the benefit of further vocational development, for example to consider the type of vocational expertise to be developed. This study uses a descriptive qualitative writing approach. The instrument used in writing is in the form of an observation sheet that has been made by Dikti. This observation sheet serves to record the data that the authors found on the subject of writing including the competence of skills in the visited vocational schools, school accreditation, and teacher profiles. The data needed in this paper were obtained through observation, interviews and documentation studies. The results of the study found that vocational schools with business and management expertise dominated the vocational schools in Pontianak city. This is not in line with economic activity which is dominated by the trade, restaurant and hotel sectors which should be fully supported by vocational schools with expertise in Arts, Crafts, and Tourism. In addition, there are also 314 productive teachers who support vocational education in Pontianak City ABSTRAKPemerintah melalui Kementerian Pendidikan Nasional telah merencanakan Program Pengembangan SMK yang salah satu diantaranya adalah dengan menambah jumlah SMK yang ada sehingga pada tahun 2014 diharapkan rasio jumlah SMK : SMA sebesar 67% : 33% sebagaimana tertuang dalam kebijakan Rencana Strategis Depdiknas 2010-2014. Penulis mencoba untuk meneliti tentang pengembangan Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK) di Kota Pontianak dengan mengambil data-data riil yang ada di lapangan dilihat dari aspek spektrum keahlian, pemenuhan delapan standar nasional pendidikan dan pemenuhan Sumber Daya Manusia yang lebih dikhususkan pada ketersediaan guru. Dari aspek-aspek tersebut nantinya dapat kita lihat apakah data-data riil yang sudah penulis dapatkan sesuai dengan kegiatan perekonomian kota Pontianak atau tidak. Hal ini dilakukan sebagai penulisan awal untuk kepentingan pengembangan SMK selanjutnya, misalnya untuk mempertimbangan jenis keahlian SMK yang akan dikembangkan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan penulisan kualitatif deskriptif. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penulisan yaitu berupa lembar observasi yang sudah dibuat oleh Dikti. Lembar observasi ini berfungsi untuk mencatat data-data yang penulis temukan pada subjek penulisan meliputi kompetensi keahlian yang ada di SMK yang dikunjugi, akreditasi sekolah, dan profil guru. Data yang diperlukan pada penulisan ini diperoleh melalui observasi, wawancara dan studi dokumentasi. Hasil Penelitian didapati bahwa SMK dengan bidang keahlian bisnis dan manajemen mendominasi SMK yang ada di kota pontianak. Hal ini belum sejalan dengan kegiatan perekonomian dimana didominasi oleh sektor perdagangan, restoran dan hotel yang mestinya didukung penuh oleh SMK dengan bidang keahlian Seni, Kerajinan, dan Pariwisata. Selain itu terdata juga jumlah guru produktif sebanyak 314 guru yang mendukung pendidikan vokasi di Kota Pontianak
