The right to environmental cleanliness through waste management in West Lampung Regency
No full textPurpose: This study aims to examine waste management problems in the Lampung Barat Regency.
Research Methodology: This study employed a normative method using a descriptive analysis approach. Secondary data were acquired through meticulous literature review and subjected to qualitative analysis. The secondary data in question include Law Number 18 of 2008 concerning Waste Management, Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management, West Lampung Regency Regional Regulation Number 4 of 2018 concerning Waste Management, and West Lampung Regent Regulation Number 31 2022 Regarding Waste Reduction Guidelines. Rigorous literature selection ensured data validity. The outcomes of the analysis served as the basis for accurate conclusions within the research.
Results: Fulfillment of the right to a clean environment through waste management is a reference for the government and local governments implementing the principles of Good Environmental Governance with a growth orientation awareness for the community about a good and healthy living environment.
Limitations: Waste management remains an unresolved problem. There are several laws and regulations that correlate with waste management in Indonesia, namely Law No. 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management and several other laws.
Contribution: Fulfilling the right to a clean environment through waste management refers to three legal systems that are a combination of components: structure, substance, and culture.

A mathematical model of routing problem for hazardous biomedical waste: A multi-objective particle swarm optimization solution approach
No full textPurpose: This model aims at solving a Green Heterogeneous and Stochastic Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem that takes into account the risks and environmental hazards.
Research Methodology: Regarding an NP-hard and complex problem, and after confirming the accuracy of the problem-solving in smaller dimensions by GAMS software, the problem is solved by the metaheuristic algorithm of multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) and its coding in MATLAB software.
Results: The results urge that using random sampling and probability distribution, non-deterministic parameters turned into deterministic ones, and high-quality solutions were obtained.
Limitation: The proposed method is a routing problem and has been applied for the Green Heterogeneous and Stochastic Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem. Future researchers may work on real data sets and hazardous biomedical waste data.
Contribution: Based on the results presented, the model derived in this paper can support decisions such as routing, prioritization, time to reach each node, etc. so that the costs of routing, system reliability, environmental issues, and penalties for violation of the priority and maximum time elapsed for vehicles are taken into account
Evaluation chain management model with emphasis on intellectual capital using blockchain technology
No full textPurpose: The main purpose of this paper is the evaluation of the chain management model with an emphasis on intellectual capital in knowledge-based organizations using blockchain technology.
Research methodology: First, by reviewing previous studies and researches, the framework for readiness to accept blockchain was extracted. Then, the different areas of the value chain of knowledge-based organizations were identified. Then, a questionnaire for pairwise comparisons was distributed using a hierarchical approach. Finally, the TOPSIS questionnaire was distributed to rank the 5 identified areas of activity in the value chain and knowledge management of knowledge-based organizations. Semi-structured interviews with the organization's experts have been used to explain the promising methods in the organization further to improve the efficiency of blockchain acceptance and meaningful research orientations for researchers.
Results: These findings include the undiscovered potential of knowledge sharing and collaboration networks, the expected evolutionary stages of the Internet of Things, and eliminating intermediaries that lead to new business models such as token building and short-term rather than long-term relationships. Obstacles include staffing problems, legal uncertainty, loss of infrastructure and standardization, and unclear governance structures. Improving smart contract security and interoperability between private and public protocols will further expand technolog
Contribution: The application of blockchain technology in the field of knowledge and intellectual capital management, due to the promotion of key indicators such as improving security in the context of non-forgery, unchangeable information, tracking, decentralization, and transparency, leads to the application of this technology in knowledge and intellectual capital management

Determinants of youth unemployment in Southern Ethiopia: Evidence from Duna District, Ethiopia
No full textPurpose: Unemployment is a big problem both in developed and less developed countries. This study was aimed at investigating the determinants of youth unemployment in Duna district using cross-sectional survey data gathered in 2020. It is assumed to be a major macroeconomic problem in deriving economic growth and food security. Reducing youth unemployment is crucial to achieving sustainable economic development and alleviating poverty.
Research methodology: Multi-stage sampling methods were developed to select the sample from a given population. Through considering the availability of youth unemployed, six kebeles with a sample youth of 361 were selected. Primary and secondary sources of data were used. Descriptive analysis and binary logistic regression were employed for the data analysis.
Results: The results of binary logit regression revealed that youth unemployment was significantly affected by age, sex, educational status (secondary and higher education), cultivated land size, marital status, credit use, information use, family wealth, infrastructure, work experiences, and migration.
Limitations: This research is limited by the scope, men, and women young unemployed were not equally studied. Without inclusion, women in the studies may not ensure sustainable economic development and alleviate the problem of young unemployment and poverty.
Contribution: Ministry of youth, sports and culture, microfinance institutions, and other concerned bodies should give important attention to youth unemployment which is a major problem in achieving economic growth and alleviating poverty. Reduction in the level of youth unemployment would consequently improve youth income and which in turn improve living standards

The experiences and challenges of Doctoral Education in Public Universities compared
No full textPurpose: This article’s purpose is to explore the challenges and experiences PhD students in selected Ugandan state universities endure during their studies.
Research methodology: The approach of the research focused on three public universities thus; Kabale University, Makerere University, and Gulu University. To explore these challenges, we undertook an extensive literature review of the external supervisors and evaluations of PhD students who attempted to submit their final dissertations.
Results: The main findings of the results indicate that due to institutional, individual, and supervisory inefficiency, many students who enroll in their PhD programs at these universities are unable to graduate within the given timeframe.
Limitations: The limitations of the study conclude that the problems addressed in this research and the suggestions presented provide the basis for improving university training programs and facilitating students, timely completion of the PhD program.
Contribution: In terms of contribution, this research will improve scholarly writing and publication abilities, in addition to increasing the identity of doctoral education in Uganda. Evidently, there is no substantial work exploring the difficulties and challenges faced by PhD students in Uganda.
