Analysis of Parking Management System at Hasanuddin University Hospital
Full text linkThis study aims to analyze parking management at Hasanuddin University Hospital. This study's population consisted of all vehicles parked between 7:00 and 23:59 every weekday. Based on analyzing the parameters of the characteristics, it can be determined that the two- and four-wheeled vehicle peak hours occur between 09:00 and 11:00, with a total of 562 vehicles. The average duration on weekdays for both two and four-wheeled vehicles is not much different, which is more than 2 hours/vehicle. The highest average volume and parking turnover rate occur on Tuesday around 650 vehicles, which is 78 times in one day while four-wheeled vehicles are around 98 times a day. The maximum parking index value has above 190%, hence it is necessary to expand parking space availability. Based on determining that the average of 310 respondents rates parking management as a medium category. Parking management and paid parking more than 40% said they were satisfied, while 58% said the parking space capacity was not able to meet parking demand. Controlling illegal parking and the need for special regulations for parking is more than 74%. Furthermore, based on the results of questionnaire data from experts who were obtained using the AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) method, the alternative priority in meeting parking demand and parking management is the construction of a parking building in terms of technical and social criteria. Therefore, this study provides useful information for planners and policymakers to plan, design, and evaluate parking systems
Improving the Regional Revenue: Analyzing the Potential of Tax Collection
Full text linkGoal of this study is to analyze the potential of restaurant tax and to determine the obstacles and efforts made by the regional government in exploring the potential of restaurant tax in Makassar. This study uses several variables to calculate the potential, effectiveness, and contribution of restaurant taxes. These are, the number of restaurants, average visitors, average food prices, number of days in a year, total regional revenue and restaurant tax rates. The research method used is descriptive qualitative and the results show the potential for restaurant tax is large, not comparable to the realization of tax revenue. This comparative measure is reflected in the effectiveness of restaurant taxes, which value no more than 100% annually. This study proof that the potential for restaurant tax in the city of Makassar has not been optimally used due to socialization and government regulations that have not been implemented properly.Â
Quail Agribusiness Entrepreneurship in Nigeria
Full text linkQuail agribusiness entrepreneurship venture is a minimal expense, exceptionally simple and high benefit business. Up till now, the investment of agribusiness in quails is not yet famous. This study aimed to examine the quail agribusiness entrepreneurship in Nigeria. Cross-sectional data were obtained from 164 quail agribusiness entrepreneurs selected through a multi-stage sampling procedure. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Results showed that the major motives for the agribusiness entrepreneurs' venture in quail agribusiness were that quail agribusiness and its egg production investment is profitable (23.78%). The technical information on quail production was mainly sourced from their associates/poultry-related agribusiness entrepreneurs (31.10%) and 59.76% had interactions with the agricultural extension officers while 40.85% obtained their funds to finance the quail agribusiness from their savings. The identified most prevalent constraint always faced by the quail agribusiness entrepreneurs include the inaccessibility to supply centres and markets (3.89) which necessitated the major training needs of quail meat processing and handling of quail eggs (26.22%). The study concluded that the age of the quail agribusiness entrepreneurs (r = 0.42; p≤0.05), their gross margin per production cycle (r = 0.85; p≤0.05) and their years of experience in quail agribusiness (r = 0.71; p≤0.05) are important contributors in determining the stock size of quails reared Nigeria. It was recommended that stakeholders in the quail agribusiness in Nigeria should improve their business capacity through collective capacity building/training programmes and awareness creation on production and the nutritional and medicinal value of quails
Legitimate Interest of Coastal States in Seabed Mining: Indonesia's Practice
Full text linkThis paper focuses on the utilization of sea mineral resources in areas within national jurisdiction and in the international seabed area (hereafter known as the Area). It discusses Indonesian laws relevant to seabed mining and the need for such laws to take into consideration the maritime zones and activities in the Area, as stipulated by UNCLOS 1982. This paper begins with the identification of potential sea minerals both within national jurisdiction and in the Area. Next, it analyzes the international legal framework on seabed mining, including a discussion on the meaning of "legitimate interests of coastal States" and on the participation of developing states in the Area, as stipulated in Article 142 and 148 of UNCLOS 1982. Then, the national legal framework relating to seabed mining is discussed. Using the juridical-normative method, this paper finds that Indonesia does not currently have comprehensive national regulations covering seabed mining within its jurisdiction and in the Area. Although there is a presidential decree on the exploitation of sea sand, it is limited to institutional arrangements and only focuses on sea sand. Thus, this paper recommends the formulation of national regulations regarding the use of the seabed, both within and beyond national jurisdiction
Intercountry Adoption in Malaysia and Morocco: A New Frontier
Full text linkIntercountry adoption offers a family-based care option for children in need of care and protection. It allows them to find loving and permanent homes outside their birth country, providing them with stability, support, and a sense of belonging essential for their well-being. The Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Cooperation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption 1993 (Hague Convention 1993) serves as the primary international legal instrument governing intercountry adoption. Despite its importance, intercountry adoption remains relatively uncommon in Malaysia, as the country lacks specific statutory provisions and is not a signatory to the Hague Convention 1993. The purpose of this study is to examine the current state of intercountry adoption in Malaysia and Morocco and explore the viability of intercountry adoption as a child protection measure. The study involves interviews with relevant departments and an examination of Malaysia's current adoption laws. Additionally, the study analyses the international legal framework, including the Hague Convention 1993 and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child 1989 (UNCRC) to provide a comprehensive understanding of the context surrounding intercountry adoption. Furthermore, this paper offers a comparative analysis of Morocco's intercountry kafalah system, which recognises kafalah as an alternative to legal adoption based on Islamic law. The findings of this study will offer valuable insights and recommendations for enhancing Malaysia's approach to intercountry adoption. By considering best practices and international standards, this research seeks to ensure the well-being and protection of children in need of care and protection, promoting their access to a stable and nurturing family environment
Transfer Pricing and Its Relationship with Effective Tax Rate, Profitability, and Foreign Ownership
Full text linkThis study aims to investigate the influence of effective tax rate and profitability on transfer pricing moderated by foreign ownership of consumer non-cyclical enterprises listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Transfer pricing has become an intriguing subject due to firms' desire to reduce tax expenses to generate higher profits. The hypothesis was tested using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA), which found that the effective tax rate has no significant effect on transfer pricing, however, profitability influences companies' decision to perform transfer pricing. It has been proved that foreign ownership has a moderating effect on the effective tax rate, profitability, and the transfer pricing interaction
Actors’ Contestation in Responding to Government Policies Regarding Development of Broiler Poultry Farming Business: A Case from Blitar, East Java, Indonesia
Full text linkThis study examines the contestation among actors responding to government policies in broiler farming. The research method employed is qualitative. A comprehensive investigation into each actor’s characteristics allows for a thorough understanding of unfolding contestation. The study took place in Blitar, East Java, Indonesia. The results indicate three key actors: the integrator farm, the independent farm, and the family farm. An integrator functions as an investor; while an independent consists of breeders with land, resources, and labour. Family farmers are operated by individuals with limited production capacities.  The government, aiming to ensure a stable supply of livestock for domestic consumption, utilizes its legislative authority to facilitate investment prospects in Indonesia.  Integrator farmers seize this opportunity to dominate broiler arming, compelling their actors to align with their interests. Independent farmers safeguard their interests through collaborative partnerships, whereas family farmers can only express their discontent with the government through protests
The Effect of Combination of Phosphate Solubilizing Microbes, Organic Pellet Fertilizers and Inorganic Fertilizers on Nutrient Uptake of Maize Plants
Full text linkThe low uptake of N and P nutrients by maize plants can be caused by the low availability or levels of N and P nutrients in the soil used as the planting medium. The Alfisol soil used in the study had N-total levels of 0.15% (low) and P2O5 of 12.76 ppm (medium). The addition of phosphate solubilizing microbes, pelleted organic fertilizer, and inorganic fertilizer can increase the availability of N and P nutrients in the soil, so that plant uptake of N and P nutrients can also increase. This study aims to determine the effect of a combination of phosphate-solubilizing microbes (PSM), pelleted organic fertilizer, and inorganic fertilizer on the nutrient uptake of maize plants. This research was conducted at the Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Hasanuddin University and plant samples were analyzed at Hasanuddin University's Soil Fertility Chemistry Laboratory, Department of Soil Science, Faculty of Agriculture. This study used a Randomised Group Design (RGD). The treatments consisted of a combination of M0 = without phosphate solubilizing microbes; M1 = addition of phosphate solubilizing microbes; B0 = without pelleted organic fertilizer; B1 = pelleted organic fertilizer dose of 5 tonnes/ha; B2 = pelleted organic fertilizer dose of 10 tonnes/ha; A0 = without inorganic fertilizer; A1 = inorganic fertilizer 50% of the recommended dose. The results showed that the M0B2A0 treatment produced plants with the highest level of N nutrient uptake, which was 633.33% higher than the M0B0A0 treatment. In comparison, the M1B2A1 treatment had plants with the highest level of P nutrient uptake, which was 933.33% higher than the M0B0A0 treatment
Sustainable Timber Construction: Challenges and Opportunities
Full text linkTimber is one of the oldest construction material used by human since the dawn of civilization. The use of timber in construction has slowly diminished since the inventions of concrete and steel materials in the last few centuries. Since then, timber has been connoted with construction material that has issues with weak strength performance, fire endurance, and long-term durability. After more than a century of unpleasant perceptions, renaissance of timber in construction has started near the end of 20th century after the re-inventions of massive timber elements that have similar performance as concrete when it is used in building constructions. Particular products that have gained attention recently from architects and structural engineers are glue-laminated timber (glulam) beams and cross-laminated timber (CLT) plates due to its high strength-to-weight ratio and flexibility for use in various structural elements of multi-story buildings. With the introduction of performance-based building codes in Europe and North America, the use of massive timber elements in tall buildings has received wide acceptance and has been in competition mode with traditional reinforced concrete material. The main objective of this study is to review performances of massive timber elements in various building applications in terms of strength, cost-competitiveness, and last but not least sustainability impacts including its contribution to carbon neutrality effort. Historical and literature reviews will be given to demonstrate feasibility of timber and its massive elements for building applications with considering reinforced concrete as the benchmark. Challenges and opportunities of timber use in construction will be discussed including potential use in hybrid system in which engineers can combine material constituents used in forming structural components or systems to reach optimum performance without ignoring sustainability constraints. It is expected that the outcomes of this study will encourage architects and engineers to use more timber globally as alternative sustainable construction material beyond the regions commonly utilizing timber as construction materials for generations.  Â
