As part of a nation, a coastal community has the potential and characteristics to develop for future success. Most studies explain that the poverty of a coastal community is due to several factors, including economic and socio-cultural factors where lifestyle is based on their mental capacity. Despite such a condition, they have positive expectations through programmed and sustainable efforts by focusing on non-formal education through the optimization of life skill education. This qualitative research is intended to map life skills for the coastal community to develop and describe their responses to the development of life skills or productive skills. Further, data collection techniques consisted of observation, interview, and documentation. The Source of data came from the coastal community and local government of Gorontalo Regency and theoretical sources, i.e., literature relevant to the study. The results suggested that life skill education required by the coastal community was dominantly related to vocational skills as their potential can build up such skills. The community also had a great response to the skill education through the intervention of non-formal education activities. The majority of them stated that acquiring life skills is an urgent need to meet. The local source potential as materials used for developing life skills for the community is sufficiently available. Next, the identification of the community's response to the development of life skills has not been conducted much by other studies in the context of the behavior and life of a coastal community.

The main objective of the thesis is to study high bandwidth communication systems for different network architectures from the end user at the in-home scenario to the service provider through the mobile cellular front-haul network. This is in parallel with the integration of power over fiber (PoF) technology in these systems. ; The present work received funds from the following Spanish and international projects: - Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, "Tecnologías avanzadas inteligentes basadas en fibras ópticas/Advanced SMART technologies based on Optical Fibers (SMART-OF)", grant no.

Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) as an accelerated land registration program in Indonesia led directly by the President needs to provide assurance and legal protection of ownership of land rights. PTSL in this case is assigned to the Adjudication Committee which functions as the executor of PTSL according to the Regulation of the Minister of Agrarian/Head of the National Land Agency. PPAT as a public official mandated by Government Regulation Number 24 of 1997 concerning Land Registration in fact could not be found its role in the implementation of PTSL both outside and within the Adjudication Committee. This study aims to examine the role of PPAT that exists and should be present in the implementation of PTSL. The research methodology used is normative legal research with literature study in primary and secondary data collection. The results of the study found no role for PPAT in PTSL legislation. If referring to Government Regulation No. 24/1997, all transitions after the birth of this regulation require a PPAT deed as written evidence of ownership or transfer of land rights. The Adjudication Committee as the executor of PTSL should coordinate with PPAT to ensure that PTSL meets the legal data research stage so that an orderly, complete registration of land is achieved and provides legal certainty of ownership of land rights.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to contribute further on the twin deficits debate in a developing economy.Design/methodology/approachThe data for Thailand over three decades are used as a case study.FindingsThe major findings are: first, a stable, long‐run equilibrium relationship between fiscal deficit, interest rate, exchange rate, and current account was found. Second, the causal relationship between the two deficits runs from fiscal deficit to current account deficit. This evidence is supportive of the twin deficits hypothesis. Further econometric analysis reveals that the two financial variables (interest rate and exchange rate) act as intermediating variables – that is an increased fiscal deficit causes interest rate to rise, and this in turn puts pressure on the exchange rate. The appreciation of the domestic currency causes a current account deficit.Originality/valueThe paper is of value by showing both direct and indirect channels to uncover the twin deficits phenomena. Based on a persistent profile response, it was found that the adjustment process may take as long as a year to complete.

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to examine the causal relationships between inflation, output growth and their uncertainties in Malaysia.Design/methodology/approach– The modeling approach allows for structural breaks to avoid the masking of specific impacts.Findings– Based on the asymmetric Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity model, the paper found strong evidence favoring a positive effect of a change in the inflation uncertainty as predicted by the Friedman-Ball hypothesis. In addition, inflation (inflation uncertainty) has direct (indirect) negative effect on the output growth. The results are consistent with the Taylor effect – increases in inflation uncertainty decreases output uncertainty. The analysis also reveals that economic uncertainty lowers the growth rate of output, complying with Bernanke's idea.Originality/value– The present study suggests that extra efforts are required to locate the breaks in the variance in order to draw concrete evidence on link between economic uncertainty and macroeconomic performance.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to determine whether current account imbalances – surpluses or deficits – are "excessive" and hence constitute a valid concern. The second objective is to assess the degree of capital mobility by comparing the variance of the current account derived from the intertemporal model with that of the actual current account.Design/methodology/approachThe paper addresses the issues by constructing the intertemporal model using annual data between 1960 and 2006. The authors applied the F‐test, the Bartlett test and the Siegel‐Tukey test to formally validate for equality of the variances of the optimal and actual consumption smoothing current accounts.FindingsBased on vector autoregressive model, it was found that the present value of future net output closely reflects the evolution of the current account series with a small (insignificant) deviation between the actual and the estimated consumption‐smoothing current account. The results show that the hypothesis of full‐consumption smoothing could not be rejected by the data for the full sample period, implying that the degree of capital mobility was quite high, even during the post‐1997 period. The variance ratio of the actual current account to the optimal current account is not statistically greater than one. Therefore, it is concluded that there is no evidence to suggest inappropriate use of capital flows over the entire sample period under investigation.Originality/valueThe authors relied on a more general framework, as suggested by Bergin and Sheffrin, which allows real interest rate to affect current account in order to provide a new perspective on Thailand's current account balance.

This paper investigates the degree of volatility and asymmetric behavior of real exchange rates in East Asian. Exponential generalized autoregressive heteroskedasticity (EGARCH) is deployed to estimate the volatility of the exchange rate returns before and after the 1997 Asian financial crisis. We found that the EGARCH (1,1) specification fits the monthly currency series of the Asian currencies well, suggesting that volatility in exchange rates is time varying and asymmetric. The results show that before the crisis, only three currencies displayed evidence of asymmetries in their conditional variance. After the sharp fall in their currencies, all but one showed a significant increase in volatility and asymmetric effect. We conclude that the crisis caused a contagion that spread through the currency markets. The results of this study underline the importance of economic and political stability in the member countries for the stability of the regional economy.
