The island of Kalymnos, located in the Dodecanese island complex in the SE Aegean, is known for its sponge fishing but also for its world-famous climbing fields. Indeed, the island is considered the “Mecca” of climbers. Nevertheless, Kalymnos is characterized by moderate tourist traffic and lack of tourism infrastructure. The planning and development of geotourism can be a driving force for the economic sustainability of the island. In this study, the possibility of developing the innovative and alternative form of geotourism on the island of Kalymnos is explored. Kalymnos is characterized by numerous caves and steep slopes which can be geotopes attractive to visitors. Six caverns and two climbing fields were analyzed as part of our investigation. For the quantitative assessment of the geosites three factors are considered: the potential educational use (PEU), the potential touristic use (PTU), and the degradation risk (DR). The quantitative evaluation in combination with a SWOT analysis showed that there is indeed a possibility of promotion and development of geotourism in combination with the protection of the island’s geotopes. This will give additional impetus to the economy of Kalymnos. However, the lack of awareness from local authorities and residents is evident. The need for training in matters related to the geological heritage is necessary. In this way, there will be geotourism development, contributing positively to the economic prosperity and sustainability of the island.

Syros Island, Cyclades complex, central Aegean Sea, Greece, is a prime locality for the study of processes active in deep levels of orogens and is world famous for its exceptionally well preserved glaucophane schist-to eclogite-facies lithologies. Glaucophane schists and eclogites are witnesses of one of the fundamental tectonic processes operating on planet Earth. Results of geological research on Syros have contributed a lot to our present understanding of why and how these processes work that make oceans disappear, how mountain ranges can start to form, how magma chambers form to feed volcanoes, how subduction mechanisms can trigger earthquakes and lead to tsunamis, and a series of other spectacular or very impressive phenomena which have been observed and studied throughout the earth’s window offered in that particular place of the world. The description, interpretation, and evaluation of the important geological heritage of Syros, in combination with a SWOT analysis, showed the geotourism potential of the region. The results of this paper are intended to constitute a valuable tool for enhancing and raising awareness of the geological heritage of the island of Syros, regarding to the added value activities to be developed on a sustainable basis.

The article is concerned with the issues of determining and evaluating the economic sustainability of enterprise. The publication analyzes the views of scholars on the definition of «economic sustainability of enterprise». A closer definition of this concept is proposed, according to which under the economic sustainability of enterprise it is advisable to understand its complex ability to respond to and withstand the influence of negative relevant factors of the external and internal environment, while maintaining its internal structure, dynamics of operation, which contributes to the achievement of the main goals of functioning and development of enterprises. The main components of economic sustainability of enterprise are allocated, including: financial, industrial, personnel, organizational, marketing, social, environmental, investment, innovation. The main stages of the process of ensuring economic sustainability of enterprise are proposed, the basis of implementing which is the principles of unity – interconnectedness and subordination of all components of sustainability; complexity, which involves taking into account relevant factors of influence; continuity – implementation of the regulatory process on the basis of permanence and sustainability; adequacy, i.e. compliance of the system with patterns of enterprise development. The proposed components and stages of ensuring and determining the economic sustainability of enterprise are used as the basis of the developed methodical approach concerning its quantitative assessment, which is built up using methods of multidimensional factor, cluster analysis, additive convolution method for calculating the integral indicator of economic sustainability of enterprises. The developed methodical approach was tested on the statistical data of nine machine-building enterprises of Kharkiv region, which proved its applied value and possibility of further use.

Developing geological heritage resource from the perspective of tourism is a new pattern of resource using. The development of Xinjiang geological heritage resource is restricted and effected by the internal and external driving forces and support. The internal driving force includes the resource endowment and the need for regional economic and sustainable development; the external driving force includes the competition of tourism, the market and the government regulation; support includes the construction of infrastructure, the improvement of tourism facilities and ecological support. All these forces restrict and effect each other and become a harmonious whole.

Human resources are one of the important resources in the company as a driving force. Human resources, which in this case are employees, need to be considered and the company has the obligation to provide rewards for the hard work, time, energy and thought of the employee, in the form of salaries, benefits and bonuses that are appropriate and timely. This is intended to show the good intentions of the company and improve employee morale in order to remain productive in carrying out their daily tasks. Problems occur when processing payroll, including the calculation of special income tax (Pph) article 21 for employees at PT. Graselindo Utama, who at that time were still using the manual system, so that the payroll process was often late and ineffective. This company needs an information system that is fast and accurate so that the work processes of personnel and finance become more effective. The solution to this problem is the need for optimization of payroll information systems and the calculation of income tax (Pph) article 21 with a website-based information system and makes it easier for users. This research method uses the method of observation, interview methods, library methods and SWOT analysis methods. The final results of this study are in the form of a Payroll and Income Tax (Pph) Website calculation for PT.Gramaselindo Utama.

Selection Of

The inventory of the geological heritage of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, was carried out from 2012 to 2015 and resulted in the selection of 142 geosites in 11 geological frameworks representative of its geological history. Among the frameworks is the “Geomorphological units and landforms”, which includes fourteen geosites representative of the main geomorphological features in the area. Since these kinds of geosites are very suitable to interpretative and educational purposes, in this work we present both qualitative and quantitative assessments of the potential educational use of the geosites present in this geological framework. The assessment was carried out using the GEOSSIT platform, which was developed by the Geological Survey of Brazil (CPRM). The outcomes of the quantitative assessment made it possible to rank the geosites according to their importance. The geosites Jaraguá Peak and Itapeva Peak achieved the highest rankings, a result that reinforces their current use for tourist activities; on the other hand, the geosites Jureia Massif and Diabo Hill were the lowest ranked. The data obtained in this study suggest the need to establish educational measures that may increase activities of valorisation, dissemination and conservation of these geosites, and that take into account the geodiversity elements. In order to implement such measures, some support from public and private agencies is fundamental. In general, geosites present excellent conditions for the dissemination of geoscientific knowledge, making a key to the construction of a geoconservation conscience by the general public.

Abstract. The dominant circulation pattern of İzmir Bay on the Aegean Sea coast of Turkey is studied taking into consideration the influence of wind and thermohaline forces. İzmir Bay is discussed by subdividing the bay into outer, middle and inner areas. Wind is the most important driving force in the İzmir coastal area. There are also thermohaline forces due to the existence of water types of different physical properties in the bay. In contrast to the two-layer stratification during summer, a homogeneous water column exists in winter. The free surface version of the Princeton model (Killworth's 3-D general circulation model) is applied, with the input data obtained through the measurements made by the research vessel K. Piri Reis. As a result of the simulations with artificial wind, the strong consistent wind generates circulation patterns independent of the seasonal stratification in the bay. Wind-driven circulation causes cyclonic or anticyclonic movements in the middle bay where the distinct İzmir Bay Water (IBW) forms. Cyclonic movement takes place under the influence of southerly and westerly winds. On the other hand, northerly and easterly winds cause an anticyclonic movement in the middle bay. The outer and inner bay also have the wind-driven recirculation patterns expected.
