Revealing the practice of the capital assistance system in coastal communities that are indicated to have deviated from the principles of social capital, and building an integrated model as a solution for improving fishermen’s low performance are the main objectives of this study. For this purpose, fishermen communities were chosen as the research sample. The research locations were focused on two provinces in Indonesia (Bengkulu and East Java provinces). Data were collected through observation, interview, and documentation methods. Discriminant and SEM/SmartPLS analysis methods were used to analyze quantitative data, while the descriptive analysis method was used to analyze qualitative data. The results show that the implementation of the capital assistance system by well-off fishermen (as capital providers) was proven to deviate from the principles of social capital because it was detrimental to small-scale/traditional fishermen. Six factors cause deviations in the capital assistance system: (a) the lack of “altruism cooperation” between well-off fisherman and small-scale/traditional fishermen; (b) mutual trust is not developed; (c) the powerlessness of the fishing community, which desperately needs funds for working capital; (d) government control is not effective; (e) the role of cooperative institutions (fisheries) as providers of funds/loan capital is still weak; and (f) an empowerment integrated model is considered capable of providing a comprehensive solution.

The research is about strategy of productivity improvement of sustainable small-scale capture fisheries in Aceh Jaya, Aceh Province. The research have been conducted four months and it’s start in August 2014 to December 2014. The study aims to determine factors that affecting productifity of sustainable small-scale capture fisheries and strategies for improving productivity of sustainable small-scale capture fisheries in Aceh Jaya, Aceh Province. The Survey method was used for the study. In addition this study is using deep interview to respondents. Data analysis is using linear regression analysis, descriptive analysis and SWOT analysis. The Result show productivity of small-scale capture fisheries in Aceh Jaya was affected number of fishing trips and capital. Type of fishing fleet, fishing equipment, fisherman and fishing experience have not siggnificantly affect the productivity of small-scale capture fisheries. Productivity can be improved by regulation of fisheries department like fishing grounds category, prohibition of fishing is using explosives (fish bomb), trawl, toxin. In addition, improvement of small-scale fisheries can be reached with increasing fisheries extension and economic empowerment of coastal communities and also the strengthening of customary management system (Panglima Laot).

ABSTRACT Objective: to investigate the evolution and estimate the shortage of Speech, Language and Hearing professionals in Primary Health Care between 2005 and 2015. Methods: a mixed ecological study using data from the National Registry of Health Facilities and the Primary Health Care Information System. A descriptive analysis regarding the evolution of the number of professionals working in Primary Health Care over this period, in Brazilian states and regions, was conducted. The ratio of professionals per 100,000 inhabitants for the years 2005, 2010 and 2015, and the shortages in 2015, were estimated. Results: in 2005, there were 1,717 professionals working in Primary Health Care, that is, one per 100,000 inhabitants. In 2015, there were 4,124, increasing to 2.1/100,000. In 2015, the shortage in supply was 55.1%, varying widely across the states. Conclusion: the shortage in supply is equivalent to an absence of Speech, Language and Hearing service coverage within Primary Health Care for more than half of the Brazilian population. It is worth noting that a conservative parameter was adopted to conduct this estimate. The results suggest a process of consolidation for the inclusion of Speech, Language and Hearing professionals within Primary Health Care, however, still characterized by insufficient and unequal supply across the nation.

Im Forschungsprojekt „CPPSProcessAssist“ wurde für vier kleine und mittlere Unternehmen (KMU) der Prozessindustrie ein modulares und mobiles Assistenzsystem zur Instandhaltungsunterstützung entwickelt. Neben der technologischen Entwicklung des Systems wurde im Projekt eine Vorgehensweise zur Gestaltung und Einführung des Systems in den Unternehmen erarbeitet. Mitarbeiter der Schicht und Schichtleitung, Projektingenieure, Instandhalter sowie Technologieentwickler wurden als Mitgestalter des Systems und der daraus folgenden Veränderungen im Unternehmen eingebunden. Das resultierende System bildet die unternehmensübergreifenden Anforderungen von Instandhaltungsaufgaben in der Prozessindustrie technisch ab und ist an vorhandene IT-Infrastrukturen anpassbar. Die gewählte Vorgehensweise zur Einbindung der Mitarbeiter in der Gestaltung des Systems trug dazu bei, die unternehmens- und nutzerspezifischen Anforderungen in das System zu integrieren sowie die Mitarbeiter zu Eingabe bedarfsgerechter Assistenzinhalten zu befähigen.   A modular and portable maintenance assistance system was developed for four small and medium-sized process manufacturers in the research project CPPSProcessAssist. Along with the technological development of the system, a procedure for designing and implementing the system in the companies was developed. Shift workers and managers, project engineers, maintenance engineers and technology developers were involved in designing the system and implementing the ensuing changes in their companies. The resulting system technically maps cross-company requirements for maintenance work in process manufacturing and can be modified for existing IT infrastructures. The selected procedure for involving employees in the system design helped integrating specific company and user requirements in the system and enabling employees to enter content in the assistance system based on their needs.

In the continuing effort to alleviate the increasing thermal loads for power electronics devices, numerous aggressive solutions have been developed, such as small-scale micro-channel heat exchangers. Although these methods can improve overall surface heat transfer to the order of 500 W cm−2, they are limited to single-sided cooling due to the typical wire-bonded electrical connections of the devices. Power overlay (POL) technology provides a stable planar structure for electrical connection, as well as attachment of an additional top-side heat exchanger. This study presents an analysis of double-sided microchannel cooling of a power electronics module. Two optimized, integral micro-channel heat sinks were attached above and below silicon power devices, with more traditional attachment on one side and a POL interface on the other. A compliant TIM was selected for low thermal resistance and good mechanical response, which allowed top-side connection to the POL surface. A theoretical model is presented that predicts the benefit of double-sided cooling based on the known performance of a single-sided heat sink and given addition thermal contact resistance for the top side. For microchannels with water, an enhancement of 26% was predicted. An experiment was also carried out to measure the actual performance benefit seen with double-sided cooling. An enhancement of over 30% was measured for a particular design. As the theory predicts, the benefit of double-sided cooling is limited for high performance designs. However, double-sided cooling could lead to high levels of thermal performance using low-performance technology.

ABSTRACT   This study aims to examine the model’s formation that can reduce the problem of unemployment and poverty. In accordance with these objectives,  there are several principal problems studied in this research that are; (1) how the approach to poverty reduction programs should be made, (2) how the potential of local institutions' resources are able to act as virtuous circles to reduce the poverty, (3) how the community empowerment model system based on the potential of local wisdom resources and institutions local communities should be conducted in order to be able to significantly reduce the number of local poor community, independent and sustainable. This research was conducted at Muntuk Village due to it is classified as a backward village and it still has the good local wisdom potential to be developed further. This research applies participatory research method to the craftsmen group chosen as pioneer in forming the community empowerment model. The main subjects in this research are; craftsmen group and socio economic community societies at Muntuk Village. The subjects of this study are determined by purposive sampling. Data collection techniques are done through interview, FGD, and analytical descriptive analysis. The result of the research shows that the link and the integration among the bamboo handicraft industry, the local institution’s role, the entrepreneurship spirit and the work ethic of the craftsmen group through the entrepreneurial skills development and social entrepreneurship culture are able to be a virtuous circle or the virtue circle to cut the poverty problem, more independent and sustainable, from the original still powerless to be powerful. The strengthening of empowerment model supported by the strength of human capital, social capital, and also citizens participate actively, were increasingly able to produce a form of community empowerment model. Furthermore, the empowerment model is more strongly built through six pillars namely; industrial structure, entrepreneurship spirit, human capital and social capital factors, local institution, infrastructure and conductive environment. All sub-systems in each of these pillars are interconnected in a system namely community empowerment system model through the development of an entrepreneurial culture to alleviate unemployment and poverty. Keywords : Empowerment Model, Enterpreneur Culture, Unemployment and Poverty
