Assessment of slopes stability using ROM scale along Jalan Gertak Sanggul, Balik Pulau, Pulau Pinang / Hapsa Husen
No full textSlope stability is a complicated and broad subject that still does not have a well establish design slope standard. Thus extensive researches and studies need to be carried out. The stability of the slope mainly depends on many factors and one of the factors is the soil strength properties which are related to soil characteristics. This study is more focus on the soil characteristics that can affect the slope stability. Jalan Gertak Sanggul is one of the main roads in Balik Pulau that is used frequently by the public. In this study, assessment on unfailed slope along Jalan Gertak Sanggul is made where the soil samples were taken and tested in laboratory. The results that obtained is then used to predict the stability of the slope by using ROM Scale (after the name of researchers ROSLAN & MAZIDAH). The results obtained which is % of sand, % of silt and % of clay are used in ROM equation to predict the stability of the unfailed slope. Statistical method also used in addition to results analyses. The results from the assessment, majority of the unfailed slopes along Jalan Gertak Sanggul are under critical risk category. The slopes are still standing due to suction of unsaturated soil and vegetation on the slope, but the slopes still have high possible chances to failure any time in the future due to climatic changes. The main objective of this study is to predict of slope failure of unfailed slope using ROM Scale. ROM Scale is a simple method in determining the likelihood of slope failure. It is hoped Rom Scale can be adopted especially as guidelines to predict future slope failure in the country
A Solution Generator Algorithm for Decision Making based Automated Negotiation in the Construction Domain
No full textA Solution Generator Algorithm for Decision Making based Automated Negotiation in the Construction Domain
No full textIn this paper, we present our work-in-progress of a proposed framework for automated negotiation in the construction domain. The proposed framework enables software agents to conduct negotiations and autonomously make value-based decisions. The framework consists of three main components which are, solution generator algorithm, negotiation algorithm, and conflict resolution algorithm. This paper extends the discussion on the solution generator algorithm that enables software agents to generate solutions and rank them from 1st to nth solution for the negotiation stage of the operation. The solution generator algorithm consists of three steps which are, review solutions, rank solutions, and form ranked solutions. For validation purpose, we present a scenario that utilizes the proposed algorithm to rank solutions. The validation shows that the algorithm is promising, however, it also highlights the conflict between different parties that needs further negotiation action
ANALYSIS OF EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF REGIONAL ORIGINAL INCOME RECEIVING IN THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AT REGIONAL REVENUE AND ASSETS AGENCY EAST NUSA TENGGARA PROVINCE
No full textThe implications of the COVID-19 pandemic have had an impact on the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD), one of which is regional income through the receipt of regional original income. This is mainly due to the weakening performance of regional original revenues, such as taxes, user fees, and regional wealth management. From the results of the financial statements of the Provincial Government, especially during the COVID-19 Pandemic, namely in 2020, it shows that the realization of the Regional Original Revenue budget has not reached the specified target. Realization of Original Regional Revenue is still fluctuating, namely it is still up and down in the Regional Government Budget of the NTT Province, so it is said to be still unstable.
The data analysis technique that the author uses in this paper is descriptive quantitative. The types of data used are qualitative data and quantitative data. Sources of data used are primary data and secondary data. The data was collected by means of observation, interviews, literature study and documentation which will be analyzed using the PAD efficiency ratio and the PAD effectiveness ratio.
The results of the study show that the efficiency level of Regional Original Revenue before the COVID-19 Pandemic, namely in 2018 and 2019 was classified as very efficient. In 2018 it was 1.56%, in 2019 it was 1.66%. While the efficiency level of Regional Original Revenue during the COVID-19 Pandemic, namely in 2020 is classified as very efficient with a percentage of 1.71%. The level of effectiveness of local revenue receipts in the period before the COVID-19 pandemic was classified as very effective. In 2018 the percentage was 100.44% and in 2019 the percentage was 97.95%. Meanwhile, during the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020 the level of effectiveness was classified as less effective with a percentage of 79.59%. This is due to the weakening of economic factors and the large number of tax arrears. Suggestion that can be given to the provincial government of East Nusa Tenggara should continue to strive to increase local revenue by coordinating the collection and supervision of local revenue receipts as well as implementing policies and programs so that the realization of local revenue can achieve the targets set.
