SISTEM PENGENDALIAN INTERNAL PERSEDIAAN BARANG DAGANG PADA CV RHODA JAYA SURABAYA
No full textThe purpose of this final project to determine the internal control system of inventory of merchandise that is in CV Rhoda Jaya . The study uses the method of collecting data through interviews , observation , study the literature. The results of this thesis show that the inventory control system of merchandise that is on Rhoda Jaya CV does not match the theory Mulyadi (2008). It can be seen from the absence of physical count procedures on the merchandise inventory and warehouse functions separation, purchasing functions and function cashier firm. Suggestions can give is the author of physical inventory counting procedures as well as the separation of each function is clear and unequivocal. The advice is expected to help the company so that the company's operations can run smoothly
Indications of a positive feedback between coastal development and beach nourishment
No full textBeach nourishment, a method for mitigating coastal storm damage or chronic erosion by deliberately replacing sand on an eroded beach, has been the leading form of coastal protection in the United States for four decades. However, investment in hazard protection can have the unintended consequence of encouraging development in places especially vulnerable to damage. In a comprehensive, parcel-scale analysis of all shorefront single-family homes in the state of Florida, we find that houses in nourishing zones are significantly larger and more numerous than in non-nourishing zones. The predominance of larger homes in nourishing zones suggests a positive feedback between nourishment and development that is compounding coastal risk in zones already characterized by high vulnerability

Predicting trends & divers of fluvial litter pollution in South Wales, UK
No full textFluvial litter pollution, produced always as a result of human activities, involves many consequences. It affects the aesthetic quality of the river banks, it constitutes a significant threat to wildlife and it can be potentially hazardous if riverine areas are used recreationally by humans. In addition, it represents one of the most important sources of pollution in the marine and ocean environment.
This research attempts to study and identify the factors which contribute to litter; it is suggested that these drivers can help better understand the patterns of severity of fluvial litter in rivers and also may assist the identification of better management strategies to prevent litter at source.
For the study of the drivers, three subcatchments in the River Taff and two in the River Ely, South Wales, UK, were chosen to relate the amounts of litter on their river banks with the subcatchment characteristics (drivers). After lot of research into drivers of marine litter, the hypothetical drivers that could affect in the fluvial environment were investigated. Drivers chosen were the social characteristics of population, the physical characteristics of the subcatchment (land use, river flow…) and distance to sewage inputs. Consequently, data representing all these drivers was compiled and its relationship with the litter data, collected in the field, was studied through a variety of statistical tools.
The results of this field and desk top study showed that some drivers studied have a large influence on riverine litter. The main factor associated with most of the litter categories was fly tipping. From the statistical analysis, it appears that this problem is mainly influenced by the level of education of population, the recreational use of rivers and the land use of the sites. Whilst highly populated residential areas resulted in the most polluted areas, other drivers like age, type of residence, economic activity do not seem to have a direct relationship with fluvial litter. In contrast to some of the literature, the distance to sewage inputs did not seem to be an important driver of fluvial litter in this study.
Finally, the water quality of the case study area was also analysed to check if it could be also used as a proxy measurement for estimating amounts of fluvial litter. The study showed that all the sites in the Rivers Taff and Ely obtained at least acceptable values of water quality, but these values seemed bear little relationship to the quantities and types of litter on the river bank.Outgoin

On the edge: coastal governance and risk
No full textCoastal zones are not only some of the most populous areas of the planet, but are also some of the most hazardous, facing a wide range of hazards alongside environmental degradation and increasing development pressures. The inter-connectivity of coastal systems, both human and physical, provides particular challenges to risk management, especially in the context of the complex governance regimes of such areas, where contrasting land and marine institutions and policies come together. After a brief overview of traditional approaches to coastal risk management, the chapter focuses on the role and potential of integrated planning and management in facilitating a more balanced and sustainable approach to coastal risk management. Within such discussions the value and potential of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) alongside other integrated and spatial planning approaches is explored. ICZM has frequently been endorsed as a means of managing competing resources and ‘wicked’ (multi-dimensional) coastal problems, and so potentially has a valuable role to play. Drawing on a range of examples, particularly from European experiences, the chapter evaluates the extent to which ICZM contributes to coastal risk management. Whilst not a panacea, the chapter concludes that ICZM may be able to facilitate the development of more adaptable and palatable approaches for local communities, much needed in the context of coastal climate change impacts
An evaluation of integrated coastal management in the United Kingdom
No full textThe coast of the United Kingdom, being one of the most diverse in Europe, presents significant challenges for Integrated Coastal Management (ICM). Intensely developed coasts, particularly in the southeast and in the vicinity of major urbanised and industrialised estuaries, present immense pressures on the coastal environment. However, equally important challenges for ICM include the need to maintain the extensive conservation importance of habitats, ranging from low-lying salt marshes and mudflats to steep, cliffed coastlines. Although the United Kingdom (UK) of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is made up of the countries of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland as well as seventeen dependent territories, including the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, this paper only focuses on the aforementioned countries. These are contiguous geographical areas sharing similar coastal issues and institutional systems unlike the dependents, which possess more divorced legal systems and are not full members of the European Union
An introduction to integrated coastal zone management
No full textFor millennia, coasts have provided locational advantages for human settlement. As a focus for trade and with ready access to rich coastal resources, the attraction of these areas has resulted in the ‘littoralisation’ of human society. However, the very attractiveness of the coast has been the agent of its decline. The extensive depletion and degradation of highly productive ecosystems, including mangroves and coral reefs, over the last century is well documented (Agardy et al., 2005; Kay and Alder, 2005). This has resulted in marked reduction of many of the benefits provided by coasts, including their natural defence capacity. Half of the world’s wetlands disappeared over the previous century due to human interference (Creel, 2005). Pollution impacts and overexploitation of coastal resources, particularly fisheries, also pose pressures on coastal systems and threaten the well-being of coastal populations
