Participation of Industry, Community and Government in Monitoring the Impact of Waste Development through the Early Warning System

In human life, it cannot be separated from the environment in which we live. Human negligence in building industry without caring the impact on environment can damage the physical and biological environment slowly and indirectly. Therefore an effort to preserve the quality of environment, especially for the environment adjacent to the settlement, is necessary and can be performed in various ways including technology utilization. The development of technology-based microcontrollers gains more popularity. Technology develops rapidly and electronic devices have become one compulsory device to be owned. Wastewater is industrial waste should be controlled prior to passing surrounding environment to avoid pollution. The concluded of this research are 1 implementation of management and monitoring carried out by industry should be led to the awareness for environmental sustainability, 2 Industrial business actor has not benefited directly from the activities of management and monitoring that have been carried out, and still considers that the obligation is a heavy burden in terms of cost, 3 Inter-institution coordination mechanism is still not clear so that each institution has not been performed their duties and functions well, 4 involvement and community awareness around the industry is relatively low.

OAM Modes in Optical Fibers for Next Generation Space Division Multiplexing (SDM) Systems

Due to the renewed demand on data bandwidth imposed by the upcoming capacity crunch, optical communication (research and industry) community has oriented their effort to space division multiplexing (SDM) and particularly to mode division multiplexing (MDM). This is based on separate/independent and orthogonal spatial modes of optical fiber as data carriers along optical fiber. Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) is one of the variants of MDM that showed promising features including the efficient enhancement of capacity transmission from Tbit to Pbit and substantial improvement of spectral efficiency up to hundreds (bs-1 Hz-1). In this chapter, we review the potentials of harnessing SDM as a promising solution for next generation global communications systems. We focus on different SDM approaches and we address specifically the MDM (different modes in optical fiber). Finally, we highlight the recent main works and achievements that have been conducted (in last decade) in OAM-MDM over optical fibers. We focus on main R&D activities incorporating specialty fibers that have been proposed, designed and demonstrating in order to handle appropriates OAM modes.

Social Learning in the COVID-19 Pandemic: Community Establishments’ Closure Decisions Follow Those of Nearby Chain Establishments

As conveners that bring various stakeholders into the same physical space, firms can powerfully influence the course of pandemics such as coronavirus disease 2019. Even when operating under government orders and health guidelines, firms have considerable discretion to keep their establishments open or closed during a pandemic. We examine the role of social learning in the exercise of this discretion at the establishment level. In particular, we evaluate how the closure decisions of chain establishments, which are associated with national brands, affect those of proximate, same-industry community establishments, which are independently owned or managed. We conduct these analyses using cell phone location tracking data on daily visits to 230,403 U.S.-based community establishments that are colocated with chain establishments affiliated with 319 national brands. We disentangle the effects of social learning from confounding factors by using an instrumental variables strategy that relies on local variation in community establishments’ exposure to closure decisions made by brands at the national level. Our results suggest that closing decisions of community establishments are affected by the decisions made by chain establishments; a community establishment is 3.5% more likely to be open on a given day if the proportion of nearby open chain establishments increases by one standard deviation.

Pelatihan Pembuatan Yoghurt Dalam Meningkatkan Pengetahuan dan Motivasi Bisnis Pada Ibu-ibu Rumah Tangga

The purpose of this service program is provide information and assistance in making yogurt for housewives and provide information about the benefits of yogurt when consumedas well as for business purposes. This activity was carried out on 10 cadres, Partners of the household industry community group of Perum Dramaga Pratama Rt 06, Cibadak Village, Ciampea District, Bogor Regency. The training method of making yogurt by means of a starter is added to milk and fermentated at 37oC by the cadres. The evaluation of making yogurt is carried out after 2 days of training to wait for the fermentation process that occurs on the milk base and to determine the success of the program, and after 1 month of implementation to find out the increase in knowledge of the cadres. The results of this activity indicate that the cadre of housewives can make yogurt from milk with a variety of flavors. This training activity is in accordance with the needs of the community, with a relatively sufficient program implementation time according to the needs. Conclusion there is an increase in the knowledge and skills of housewives in Cibadak Village, Sukamakmur District, Bogor Regency in making yogurt 80%. This activity is an achievement for the cadres to increase the skills of a family business venture 20%. Tujuan dari program pengabdian ini adalah untuk memberikan informasi dan pendampingan dalam pembuatan yogurt untuk ibu rumah tangga serta memberikan informasi tentang manfaat yogurt saat dikonsumsi serta untuk tujuan bisnis. Kegiatan ini dilakukan pada 10 kader, Mitra Kelompok masyarakat industri rumah tangga Perum dramaga Pratama Rt 06, Desa Cibadak, Kecamatan Ciampea, Kabupaten Bogor. Metode pelatihan membuat yogurt dengan cara starter ditambahkan ke susu untuk difermentasi oleh para kader.

Creating impact through participatory action research: A film festival framework case study

The purpose of this article is to share insights on a novel approach to participatory action research. The significance of my research highlights the benefits of positioning a film festival as a useful participatory action research framework for researchers seeking impact. A film festival approach provides an effective framework for evidencing co-impact throughout the process. The scope of my research focuses on one case study film festival. Shextreme Film Festival is the world’s first film festival celebrating women in extreme sports and adventure. In this paper, four guiding steps for reflection and five research insights are outlined for researchers seeking to adopt a film festival within their own discipline as a participatory action research approach to creating impact. An advantage of this approach is that a film festival is an effective creative and public forum for addressing aspirations across industry, community and academic divides. It also empowers a researcher by providing an enterprising approach for commercializing research and sustainably funding long-term projects.

Environmental Impacts and Recycling Processes of Waste Automobile Tires

Recycling is the inclusion of wastes that can be recycled into the production process by transforming them into secondary raw materials after various physical and/or chemical processes. The natural resources are not infinite. Of course it will run out one day. For this reason, the recycling process has gained a serious dimension for countries due to both economic and environmental factors. Although the recycling process of thermoplastic materials is known and frequently used by the science and industry community, the recycling of rubber materials has remained in the background. However, with the increase in the number of automobiles around the world, the increasing amount of solid waste tires puts the society in trouble both economically and environmentally. In this research, there are data on the introduction of automobile tires, which are a very serious waste throughout the country, to the economy.
