Road Slope Stability Analysis with Limit Equilibrium Method
Purpose: Landslides are hydrometeorological disasters frequently occurring in many places, particularly during the wet season. Slope stability analysis is the initial stage in defining countermeasures to prevent slope failure and mitigate the negative consequences. This study aims to apply the Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) to examine the slope stability of the Dufadufa - Jambula road, with the SLIDE version 6.0 application serving as an analytical tool.
Design/methodology/approach: Researchers use field measurement data to build a slide application slope model. The soil data used as input parameters are derived using the Robertson chart to interpret the sonder test findings.
Findings: According to the results, the minimal slope factor of safety (fs) at the area under consideration is 0.247. It demonstrates that the road slope, which is the study location, is in critical condition; in other words, the slope of the Jambula-Dufadufa road segment has the potential to undergo a slide.

Media development procedures go through validation tests, practical tests, and effectiveness tests on teaching and learning activities and student learning outcomes.
Design/methodology/approach: The research method uses development research using 2 development theories, at the development stage using the Rowntree Model and the evaluation stage using Tessmer. Collecting research data using interviews, questionnaires, observations, and tests in the process of design, development, and evaluation. At the stage after developing the learning media prototype the researcher conducted tests involving learning material experts, learning media design experts, and learning media experts to find out the validation of the media that was made.
Findings: The results of the validation test of 4.41 were stated to be very valid. Furthermore, a field validation test was carried out on students at SMK N.8 Palembang for each student (one-to-one) and in small groups based on student observations it was found that 100% practicality was very practical. In the final stage of implementing it in a full class by observing student responses using observation, at the end of the lesson a series of tests were carried out to determine the effect of the media on learning outcomes at 85.71% very good criteria.

Research Topic: Evaluating the Venture Capital Growth, Impediments, and Prospects in Sub-Saharan Africa Nations
Purpose: Nowadays, is it internationally acknowledged that access to venture capital (VC) investment is central for market internationalisation, entrepreneurship development, job creation and economic growth. Although VC’s reputation is universally accepted among scholars and in academic literature, there is still a knowledge gap in Africa. The study intended mainly to explore why developing nations in Africa have not been fruitful at stimulating early-venture capital investment compared to the developed nations. We reflect a range of probable reasons that impede both foreign and domestic VC investment, including difficulties faced by the entrepreneurs in obtaining funding from VC firms.
Design/methodology/approach: Using multiple regression analysis, we examined data from 61 VC companies’ resident in East and Southern Africa from 2015-2021, coupled with in-depth interviews with twelve VC investors.
Findings: The study revealed that several early-stage firms lack the capacity to manage large tickets of above US$5 million. Second, the results affirm that the absorptive capacity and VCs’ geographical preference all combined significantly influence the growth of the VC industry, and this problem is heightened by government’s limited support to creating supportive policies that enhance SMEs’ growth.
Practical implications: The study offers good insights by suggesting direct government intervention in the form of instituting tax incentives on capital gains to inspire more foreign investors.
