Real-time peak flow prediction based on signal matching
No full textReal-time peak flow prediction under heavy precipitation is critically important for flood emergency evacuation planning and management. In the case of emergency evacuation, every second matters as a slightly longer lead time could save more lives and reduce the associated social, economic, and health impacts. Here, we present a model (named SIGMA) based on the principle of signal matching to facilitate real-time peak flow prediction at sub-hourly scales (e.g., minutes to seconds). The SIGMA model divides the target watershed into small zones and the heavy precipitation falling into each zone is collected into a small water tank. As the water tank moves downstream and arrives in the watershed outlet, it will discharge the collected precipitation and generate a small single-pulse streamflow signal. By combining all small signals coming from all zones within the watershed, we will be able to generate a synthesized peak flow signal. The proposed model is applied to simulate the peak flow events observed in a real-world watershed to verify its effectiveness in real-time flood prediction. The results suggest that the presented model can reasonably predict three key aspects of a peak flow event, including the peak flow rate, the arrival time of peak flow, and the duration of the peak flow event. The proposed model is demonstrated to be effective in real-time flood prediction and can be used to support flood emergency evacuation planning and management
Determinants of Islamic Bank Share Price Fluctuation During the Covid 19 Pandemic: The Case of BTPN Syariah Bank Shares
No full textAbstract. The Covid-19 pandemic has caused a decline in the performance of the national economy. However, the share price of Islamic banks, especially the BTPN Syariah Bank (BTPS), has continued to grow. This study aims to identify and evaluate the variables affecting BTPS stock price fluctuation, using The Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The results show that in the short term, only the Jakarta Composite Index variable had a significant effect on the stock price of BTPS. While in the long term, the variables of Price to Book Value (PBV), Trading Volume Activity (TVA), GDP, Bank Indonesia (BI) Reference Interest Rate, and the Jakarta Composite Index had a significant effect on BTPS stock price. Based on the Impulse Response Function (IRF) analysis, the stock price of BTPS responded negatively to shocks in GDP, TVA, and the exchange rate. Meanwhile, the shocks of Earning Per Share, PBV, BI Reference Interest Rate, and the Jakarta Composite Index were responded positively by BTPS share price. Based on the Forecast Error Variance Decomposition analysis, PBV gave the highest contribution in explaining the diversity of BTPS stock prices fluctuation.Keywords: Covid-19, BTPS Shares, VECM, Internal Factors, External FactorsAbstrak. Pandemi Covid-19 menyebabkan penurunan perekonomian nasional. Namun, harga saham bank syariah, khususnya saham PT. Bank BTPN Syariah (BTPS) tetap tumbuh. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor yang memengaruhi perubahan harga saham BTPS, dengan metode Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa dalam jangka pendek, hanya variabel Indeks Harga Saham Gabungan yang berpengaruh signifikan terhadap harga saham BTPS. Sementara pada jangka panjang, variabel Price to Book Value (PBV), Trading Volume Activity (TVA), PDB, Suku Bunga Acuan Bank Indonesia (BI), dan Indeks Harga Saham Gabungan berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap harga saham BTPS. Berdasarkan analisis Impulse Response Function (IRF), harga saham BTPS merespon negatif adanya guncangan PDB, TVA, dan nilai tukar. Sementara guncangan Earning Per Share, PBV, Suku Bunga Acuan BI, dan Indeks Harga Saham Gabungan direspon positif oleh harga Saham BTPS. Berdasarkan analisis Forecast Error Variance Decomposition, PBV memberikan kontribusi tertinggi dalam menjelaskan keragaman perubahan harga saham BTPS.Kata kunci: Covid-19, Saham BTPS, VECM, Faktor Internal, Faktor Eksterna

Turbocharger adalah pesawat bantu yang digerakkan oleh gas buang dari
auxiliary diesel engine yang berfungsi untuk memompa udara yang digunakan
untuk pembilasan dan pembakaran di dalam silinder. Kinerja auxiliary diesel
engine ditunjang oleh beberapa komponen penunjang, salah satunya yaitu
turbocharger. Kerusakan pada turbocharger akan mengganggu auxiliary diesel
engine sehingga kinerjanya menjadi kurang optimal. Tujuan dari penelitian ini
adalah untuk mengetahui faktor penyebab kerusakan turbocharger pada auxiliary
diesel engine, dampak yang ditimbulkan dari kerusakan turbocharger pada
auxiliary diesel engine dan upaya yang dilakukan untuk mengatasi kerusakan
turbocharger pada auxiliary diesel engine di MV. Sri Wandari Indah.
Jenis metode penelitian yang penulis gunakan dalam penyusunan skripsi
ini adalah deskriptif kualitaf dengan menggunakan pendekatan fishbone dan
SHEL untuk mempermudah dalam teknik analisis data. Metode pengumpulan
data yang penulis lakukan adalah dengan cara observasi, wawancara dan studi
dokumentasi untuk memperkuat dalam analisis data.

Turbocharger is auxiliary aircraft driven by exhaust gases from auxiliary
diesel engines that function to pump air used for flushing and combustion in
cylinders. The performance of the auxiliary diesel engine is supported by several
supporting components, one of which is the turbocharger. Damage to the
turbocharger will disrupt the auxiliary diesel engine so that its performance is
less than optimal. . The purpose of this study was to determine the factors
causing the effect from turbocharger damage on the performance of auxiliary
diesel engine, the impact cause of the effect from turbocharger damage on the
performance of auxiliary diesel engine and the efforts made to prevent the factors
causing the effect from turbocharger damage on the performance of auxiliary
diesel engine in MV. Sri Wandari Indah.
The type of research method that the author uses in the preparation of this
thesis is descriptive qualitative using a fishbone and SHEL approach to simplify
data analysis techniques. The method of collecting data that the authors do is by
observation, interview and study documentation to strengthen the data analysis.
Based on the results of research that the authors have done, it can be
concluded that the factors causing the effect from turbocharger damage on the
performance of auxiliary diesel engine in MV. Sri Wandari Indah, 1) Surging of
the turbocharger. 2) Incompatibility of Plan Maintenance System (PMS)
conducted. The impact is 1) The performance of the auxiliary diesel engine is
disrupted. 2) The disruption of the motion process on the ship 3) Can cause
damage to the auxiliary diesel engine. To prevent the causes of turbocharger
damage to the auxiliary diesel engine, efforts must be made to, 1) Perform regular
maintenance of the turbocharger. 2) Perform maintenance on the auxiliary diesel
engine and its supporting components in accordance with the Plan Maintenance
System (PMS)

No full textAbstract: Professional development of faculty members is an emerging concept in developing countries. It has been embraced quickly in developed nations unlike developing and under developing nations. The major purpose of this paper is to explore various perceived issues and challenges to professional development of faculty members and to provide suggestions to improve such emerging problems. This paper provides suggestions and recommendations for the universities where professional development practices have not yet started or have been started but facing some problems. Author has explored various perceived issues and challenges highlighted by prior studies that have further served as basis to design structured questionnaire and semi-structured interview questions for this study. Four renowned universities of Punjab were selected from which sample of 108 respondents were chosen for data collection. Data has been analyzed by taking simple means and standard deviations through SPSS. The findings of this paper reveal that the issue that is most alarming and has got lowest mean score is granting rewards and incentives and level of satisfaction of faculty members to professional development programs. Author has provided various recommendations as to conduct proper need assessment before training, to properly plan quality training programs and take input of trainees as well, to increase grants and funds for training, to create positive working environment for teachers, to train the trainers, to provide financial and non financial benefits to trainees and to properly scheduling training programs. This study could be beneficial for policy makers, managers and administrators of universities who could device better policies and practices to promote quality teaching in institutes.
