Aquaculture Production

Tanzania endowed with abundant water resources with a huge potential to develop marine and freshwater aquaculture. Efficient utilization of these resources are required as the demand of fish is increasing with increase in the population of an average of 2.47% per year. Due to that, a gap between fish supply and demand is widening which in turn causes low fish protein supply leading to malnutrition. To bridge this gap, several strategies have been implemented by the government including fish importation to supplement fish shortage in country. However, this strategy seems to be unable to satisfy the fish demand of the large population due to high importation costs. Therefore, a review was conducted to explore recent aquaculture production in Tanzania, challenges and opportunities, different strategies implemented, as well as impacts in poverty alleviation. Several government reports and online-published papers were explored. Therefore, this review indicates a remarkable increased in fish production due to fish species diversification, government support and private sector investment. Hence, provide more opportunities to the people to be employed and earn money, as well as availability of protein from fish to improve their nutrition status. In addition, this review suggest some areas to be emphasized including; development of technology and investment in seeds and feeds production, investigation of alternative protein sources for fish, policies harmonization, and financing mechanism development.

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a critical role in supporting national economic growth. The MSME sector has been particularly hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has disrupted supply and demand as well as supply chains, causing the economy's wheels to grind to a halt at the MSME level. MSMEs must be supported by the government and other stakeholders in order to grow and develop. The goal of empowering MSMEs is to achieve a balanced, developing, and equitable national economic structure, as well as to boost regional development, job creation, income distribution, economic growth, and poverty alleviation. The East Java Provincial Government has developed a policy as a strategy for empowering MSMEs in East Java, so that MSMEs are not disrupted in their development process during the pandemic.Keywords : strategy, MSME empowerment, pandemic

Aquaculture Production

Abstract Rokan Hilir Regency is situated east coast of Sumatera in Riau Province. Fish production of the area dominated by capture fisheries (80.67%) compared to aquaculture production (19.33%), however, there is a demand for strengthening the role of aquacuture. This study aimed to analyze the prospects and strategies for developing aquaculture in this area. Primary data was obtained by measuring of water quality, observations of aquaculture objects and other supporting facilities. Interviews and discussion were conducted with fish farmers, community leaders, the fishing industry, local government officials and other stakeholders. Secondary data were obtained from government and private institutions. This area has the potential for freshwater aquaculture of 102.80 ha, brackishwater aquaculture of 3,049.25 ha, and marine aquaculture of 118.330 ha. In 2019, aquaculture only utilized an area of around 2,879,107 ha, including 47,107 ha of freshwater (ponds), 10 ha of brackish, and 2,822 ha of shellfish ponds. Aquaculture production in 2019 was 15,006.34 tons consisting of fish production from ponds (blood clams and shrimp) 9,009.34 tons which was the main production, followed by fish production from ponds of 5,997 tons. In coastal waters, it is recommended to cultivate blood cockles and Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). While in inland waters, the recommended fish culture included tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), striped catfish (Pangasianodon sp), kissing gouramy (Osphronemus sp), and African catfish (Clarias gariepenus), both in ponds and floating net cages. The recommended development strategies include; training on aquaculture human resources, training on making their own feed, building seed and brood centers, and providing business stimulants in the form of seeds, making ponds and floating net cages as well as sustainable guidance from the fisheries industry and the government.

The Stability

The stability of Russian banking sector is threatened by three negative tendencies - overheating of the credit market, significant decrease of banks capital adequacy ratios, and growing problems associated with banks lending to affiliated non-financial corporations. The co-existence of these processes reflects the crisis of the model of private investments in Russian banking sector, which was observed during the last 20 years. This paper analyzes the measures of the Bank of Russia undertaken to maintain the stability of the banking sector using the methodology of credit risk stress-testing. Based on this methodology we conclude that the Bank of Russias actions can prevent the overheating of the credit market, but they can also lead to undesirable effects: further expansion of the government ownership in Russian banking sector and substitution of domestic credit supply by cross-border corporate borrowings. The later weakens the competitive positions of Russian banks. We propose a set of measures to harmonize the prudential regulation of banks. Our suggestions rely on design and further implementation of the programs aimed at developing new markets for financial services provided by Russian banks to their corporate and retail customers. The estimated effects of proposed policy measures are both the increase in profitability and capitalization of Russian banks and the decrease of banks demand for government support.

Media Data

In the last decade, big data, and social media in particular, have seen increased popularity among citizens, organizations, politicians, and other elites—which in turn has created new and promising avenues for scholars studying long-standing questions of communication flows and influence. Studies of social media play a prominent role in our evolving understanding of the supply and demand sides of the political process, including the novel strategies adopted by elites to persuade and mobilize publics, as well as the ways in which citizens react, interact with elites and others, and utilize platforms to persuade audiences. While recognizing some challenges, this chapter speaks to the myriad of opportunities that social media data afford for evaluating questions of mobilization and persuasion, ultimately bringing us closer to a more complete understanding Lasswell’s (1948) famous maxim: “who, says what, in which channel, to whom, [and] with what effect.”

Abstract Based on nationally representative data (N = 8,901), this study investigates the extent to which expectations for intra-family transfers and government assistance in old age impact the probability of saving for retirement among working-age individuals in Thailand. Results show that expectations for financial non-self-reliance and expectations that family support would constitute the most important source of old-age financial security reduce the probability that working-age individuals would save for retirement. Expectations for government support have no impact on average. Given that filial piety is weakening in Thailand, this study suggests that the government encourage pre-retirement savings more strongly.
