The Development Advisory Service (DAS) of Harvard University
has its wings spread over a big empire by now and a volume like this
bringing together some of their experiences should be of considerable
interest. The volume contains ten contributions plus an evaluation by
the editor. Two questions receive special attention: import
substitution, and inflation-cum-exchange policy, to each of which three
papers are devoted. Four rather isolated contributions on econometric
models for development planning, sales taxation in Columbia,
agricultural development in Pakistan and labour scarcity in Liberia
complete the collection.

The purpose of this note is to discuss the nature of the
problems created -by the "impact of the capital expenditure on the
subsequent liabilities of re¬curring expenditure"1 of the government and
to suggest certain remedies for either eliminating or reducing such
problems. The problem, as stated below, basically relates to the
financial planning of development projects. The installation of a
development project involves capital costs. The running of the project,
after its completion, involves the costs of operation and maintenance,
i.e., the recurring costs. The purpose of * financial planning is to
maximize the surplus of returns over the costs of opera¬tion, including
the maintenance and replacement costs.

A global cast of contributors document the various forms of diaspora engagement âe" philanthropy, volunteerism, advocacy, entrepreneurship, and virtual diaspora - in South Asia and provide insights on how to tap the development potential of diaspora engagement for countries in South Asia.

"Water is synonymous with life. This has been the case since pre-historic time to the modern era. For the first time, humanity faces a crisis that eclipses the energy crisis, which has often incapacitated the global economy. The Climate-Water-Food nexus epitomizes our current civilization that depends on energy as the driver. Many recognize this crisis as a product of fossil fuel production, which allegedly triggered climate change and the "climate change debate." Others predict the onslaught of "water wars" in the coming decades. As the world gears up to another lineup of empty promises and ensuing chaos, this book turns this crisis on its head and shows the source of the water crisis. The science behind the water cycle is described in clear language, without resorting to dogmatic assertions and spurious assumptions. The role of the sun, natural carbon dioxide (CO2) and water and the need to maintain natural processes free from artificial chemicals are discussed in detail. The book makes it clear how most of the currently used purification techniques violates the natural cycle involving sunlight, CO2 and water, and thus become unsustainable. A series of water purification techniques, as usable for drinking, agricultural and industrial applications are presented. The advantages of these techniques and their long-term sustainability are highlighted, with discussion on improvements in the future. Whether for the engineer or scientist working in the field or laboratory or the student, this is a must-have for any engineer, scientist, student, or policymaker."--

Higher education will lead the world in 21st era because it not only creates greater personal and social prosperity, but it also affects all facets of development, including intellectual, social, cultural, aesthetic, physical, spiritual, and human capital development, directly or indirectly. Afterward, US and China, India has the world's third largest higher education system. University Grants Commission (UGC) is the largest regulatory body at the higher level, and it enforces its guidelines, advises the administration, and facilitates communication between the federal government and the states. The University Grants Commission oversees accreditation for higher education by 15 independent institutions. While the nation has progressed significantly in terms of enrolment, the standard of education continues to be a source of concern, which is critical for achieving the country's goals and implementing national policy. Weak facilities, exam-driven curriculum, memory-based exams, a shortage of qualified faculty, ineffective teaching strategies, a lack of funding, inconsistencies in government policy on higher education, entrenched political motives, massive demands from the youth population, political unrest, increasing privatisation, a lack of access and equity, and so on are some of the problems in higher education. There are several more problems like this, and this paper objectively examines all of them, as well as potential solutions.

Istilah unjuk rasa/demonstrasi dalam politik Islam memiliki banyak pengertian yaitu muzaharah, aksi unjuk rasa yang identik dengan kekerasan (anarkis) dan juga bisa dikatakan sebagai aksi mendukung sebagai bentuk dukungan terhadap individu maupun golongan. Istilah lainnya adalah masirah, merupakan kebalikan dari muzaharah tanpa berujung anarkisme.Keragaman, perbedaan pandangan, kesalahpahaman, dan setiap hal yang dapat memicu konflik di tengah umat dapat diminimalisir. Berpolitik memang menjadi hak setiap warga negara, Rasulullah saw. pun adalah sosok figur yang lengkap; Rasul, kepala rumah tangga, ulama, negarawan bahkan politikus. Namun dalam hal politik Nabi saw. senantiasa mengedepankan aspek etika dalam berpolitik. Era keterbukaan dan kebebasan berpendapat saat ini menjadi ruang terbuka bagi sebagian orang untuk menyuarakan ide dan gagasan yang tidak jarang bergeser kepada aksi menghujat, mencela, mencaci, mengumbar aib, atau menghina orang atau pihak lain di luar golongannya.

This paper aims to explain the role of radical Islamic organizations in the era of globalization. The case study taken in this research is Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI). As a transnational organization, Hizb ut-Tahrir grew and crossed national boundaries, including arriving in Indonesia and playing an essential role in shaping public opinion in Indonesia. This study uses qualitative research methods to collect data through online observation, which is described by content analysis. The findings of this study are Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia is part of the players of globalization. This is evidenced by the organization's involvement in 50 countries and five continents globally supported by their global media. In Indonesia, although the Government disbanded it in 2017, Hizb ut-Tahrir's activities are still strengthened and maintained through globalization instruments such as the internet. HTI then carried out virtual guerrilla activities to keep the idea of a caliphate grounded. ; This paper aims to explain the role of radical Islamic organizations in the era of globalization.

National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) refers to a framework of policies, institutional arrangements, technologies, data, and people that enables the sharing and effective usage of geographic information. This paper aims to present the development and current progress of NSDI in Bangladesh. In preparing this paper, we have reviewed several papers, documents and articles related to NSDI development in Bangladesh. We have also explored different spatial data sharing platforms of related agencies and departments. This study finds that, in last decade, there is substantial increase in the production and use of geospatial data in Bangladesh. However, due to the absence of planning and centralized spatial data infrastructure (SDI) system, there are duplication of efforts among different organizations in respect of spatial data production leading to wastage of time and financial resources. There is also problem of maintaining same metadata standard among different organisations creating difficulties in building and sharing spatial data. Against this background, in 2016, Bangladesh government has decided to develop NSDI. As there are some organizations already have developed geoportal so it is decided that existing platform will be used as NSDI initially. Based on this decision GeoDASH platform is being used at present. However, there are many challenges and much to develop the platform. Development of NSDI in Bangladesh is still under process and there are some challenges also. Overcoming the problems and challenges, full-fledged development and operation of NSDI is expected to support the achievement of SDGs in Bangladesh.
