Purpose: The purpose of this study is to know the existence of BSPS as a government program through PUPR and the review focuses on Muncan Village, Karangasem Regency, as one of the beneficiary areas. The program follows the decisions, directions, rules, and procedures established by the provincial government of Bali. Research methods: The data are analyzed to separate criteria related to problems and solutions, and also solutions based on procedures and purposely determine informants based on specific criteria and considerations. Findings: Constraints were complicated by the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has an impact on various lines globally. Particular action needs to be taken primarily by TFL with the community. In addition to having to carry out procedures and rules in the distribution of aid, preventive measures addressing various field conditions also need to be considered. The analysis is divided into two categories: conditional on BSPS verification activities to keep going and initiatives to address the Covid-19 pandemic crisis in the field. Implications: The various obstacles faced are expected to become a consideration or study for the next period, especially with things that are unpredictable and are force majeure along with the team that is tasked directly in the field.

Background and aim: In our dynamically changing world, incorporating patients' perception into quality assessment and assessing clients' satisfaction about provided services became a major component in the healthcare mission. The aim of this study is to assess clients' satisfaction with sexual and reproductive health services provided by governmental primary health care centers in the Gaza Strip. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive design was used. A total of 128 clients who used sexual and reproductive healthcare services provide by governmental primary health care centers completed a survey that was prepared by the research team. Results: The majority of participants (77.3%) were satisfied with the services they received. Most of the items of the questionnaire received scores close to the neutral point of 3 on a Likert scale of 1-5. The only demographic variable that influenced participants' level of satisfaction was age. Conclusion: Although the majority of participants in this study were satisfied with the sexual and reproductive health services they received, the mean scores for most items of the questionnaire were around the neutral point of three. This should be an impetus for healthcare policy makers and healthcare providers to work harder to improve quality of provided healthcare services, and thus; improving clients' satisfaction with provided services.

Disaster supply chain management is different from the supply chain management of commercial organization because of the high level of uncertainty. The high level of uncertainty significantly affects the availability of logistic supplies that are needed by the victims of the disaster. This study discovers the key success factors of the disaster supply chain management based on the perspective of the government. The re- search specifically study the Government of the D.I. Yogyakarta that are represented by Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah (BPBD). Due the fact that Yogyakarta as one of the regions that have the high risk of catastrophic nature in Indonesia. The study will be carried out in a qualitative methodology by conducting deep interview with the Representative of Logistics Department in BPBD. The results of in-depth interviews with four representative of BPBD found that there are six key success factors of disasater management supply chain management which are : (1) Quality of the TRC Team Assessment Results; (2) BPBD Coordination with Government and Non-Government; (3) Effective Rules and Regulations; (4) Character and Attitude of the Community in Dealing with Disasters; (5) BPBD Warehouse Inventory Management; (6) Management Information Systems and Data Updates.

The purpose of this study was to determine the role of the Sajad district Police Sector in handling Covid-19. Covid-19 is an infectious disease causedby a new type of virus and is a problem that must be paid special attention to, the impact caused by Covid-19 appears in various aspects of life, causing human activities to be constrained. The role played by the Sector Police is a da'wah activity, namely to call for goodness with the aim of breaking the chain of the spread of Covid-19. This study uses a descriptive approach with qualitative approach types. The research results show that theinvolvement of the sector police in handling Covid-19 is a companion to the task force team to accelerate the handling of Covid-19. The sector police discipline the public to comply with government regulations such as health protocol and avoid associations. The involvement of community leaders in handling covid-19 is participating and collaborating. Supporting and inibitng factors are village officials supporting the implementation o handling Covid-19. Meanwhile, the obstacle is the geographical location thet is difficul to reach during the implementation such as patrols and routine disinfectant spraying activities.

Places of worship play important roles as anchor institutions that promote community engagement and motivate political activity. Universities, particularly in urban settings, can also serve as anchor institutions that connect communities. Yet, there is often a gulf between the two, to the detriment of the broader community. In this article, we present the Little Rock Congregations Study (LRCS) as an approach to community engagement with faith-based organizations in an urban setting. This research project, based at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, involves an interdisciplinary team focused on understanding and improving the community engagement of congregations in the city of Little Rock since 2012. We present qualitative and quantitative data to illustrate the benefits of our approach, including research results returned to community organizations, greater visibility of the university in the community, student involvement in research and with faith-based organizations, and substantive findings that inform the greater body of knowledge and our own community. Through more than eight years of community-based work on the LRCS we provide six key lessons learned for researchers and students building relationships with religious leaders that can help bridge the gulf between these two key community institutions.

In this article, I explore entanglements of Muslim sociality and informal livelihoods in Dar es Salaam. I propose that Muslim practices of affiliation deserve to be counted among the ordinary strategies that urban majorities employ to navigate the city amidst conditions of uncertainty. Building on Stephan Lanz and Martijn Oosterbaan's (2016) work on "entrepreneurial religion," I draw on fifteen months of ethnographic research in Kariakoo, a super‐dense market district at the center of the city. The first part of my analysis explores associational life in Dar es Salaam, combining a historical overview with ethnographic description. I explore how urban actors use affiliations to football teams and political parties to generate livelihood opportunities and to secure protection. The second part of my analysis uses emic notions of "flags" (bendera) and "shields" (ngao) to demonstrate that Muslim modes of association operate in strikingly similar ways to those pertaining to football and politics. Engaging with the conceptual vocabularies of AbdouMaliq Simone and Erving Goffman, as well as recent debates about "everyday" and "lived Islam," this article foregrounds the interplay between religious forms and neoliberal processes of informalization as they are unfolding in African cities and beyond.[Tanzania; Dar es Salaam; Urban Religion; Muslim Urbanism; Informal Economy; Associational Life.]

This article aims to present the installation of cultural equipment dictated by a territorial attractiveness logic. The latter sounds internationally and has a positive image, assessed on the basis of the quantitative criterion of the number of visitors. The idea of the political authorities is that it could also help transform the image of the neighbourhood and make it attractive, attracting new investors. We will seek to understand the mechanisms at stake at different scales by convening a multidisciplinary team. Contradictions will not soon emerge. When urban marketing and urban regeneration are called, what is the place left to the inhabitants of the neighbourhood? ; Cet article vise à présenter l'installation d'un équipement culturel imposé par une logique d'attractivité territoriale. Ce dernier rayonne à l'échelle internationale, et porte une image positive, évalué selon le critère quantitatif du nombre de visiteurs. L'idée des pouvoirs politiques est qu'il pourrait également contribuer à transformer l'image du quartier, et à le rendre attractif, attirant ainsi de nouveaux investisseurs. Nous chercherons à comprendre les mécanismes en jeu à différentes échelles en convoquant une équipe pluridisciplinaire. Des contradictions ne vont pas tarder à apparaître. Lorsque le marketing urbain et la régénération urbaine sont convoqués, quelle est la place laissée aux habitants du quartier ?

In this study we address the issue of whether the field of robotics can supply the necessary technology readiness level (TRL) growth necessary to address the EU's Strategic Energy Technology (SET) roadmap targets for maintenance cost reductions in PV plants. The SET is a stakeholder-driven roadmap which shapes EU policy on, among others, PV sector growth, including measurable targets for performance, risk management and cost containment in different categories, including aspects of maintenance such as cost of diagnostics / failure analysis and quality control, lifetime and yield over lifetime. In the European context, with relatively rigid labor markets placing an inherent premium on night-time operations, 24-hour O&M automation is likely to play a leading role in meeting these targets. Moreover, in a global context robots can offer intensive maintenance in inhospitable and remote environments, where robot teams may integrate both multi-modal sensing and repair/cleaning action. We therefore investigate different maintenance needs and related actions, their relative frequency vs. age of installation and TRL levels of robotic solutions for each of these, where applicable, along with a prognosticated timetable of TRL / market penetration increases in each category the SET roadmap over the 5-10 year horizon.

© 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. The first case of pneumonia was reported on 8 December 2019 and identified on 7 January 2020 as COVID-19. On 9 March 2020, to stop the spread of COVID-19 cases, the Italian government declared a health emergency, forcing all citizens to go into lockdown. Suddenly, schools were constrained to using distance learning strategies with little or limited experience on the topic. Particularly, in the southern regions of Italy, approximately 20% of the students did not have access to any devices and were excluded from learning, producing a direct risk of increased adolescent delinquency. This research team intended to report the results of an observational study that focused on the perceptions of distance learning in adolescents from secondary school in Naples (Italy) between April and May 2020. The questionnaire comprised 11 questions focused on the perceptions of distance learning in comparison to live classrooms, relationships with peers and teachers, and levels of anxiety. The study is amongst the first to report the effect of the pandemic from a student-centred perspective and hopes to produce information to develop future research on asynchronous learning.

Esport is an enigma – at once a sport; technological innovation; and profit maximizing business. As a sport, it has much in common with traditional sports. It has leagues and franchises, teams and skilled players, competitions, sponsors, broadcasters and, at the elite level, significant prize money and all the risks that come with it. As a technological innovation, it has created new markets and value networks outside the control of sports' traditional hegemony. And while many sports today generate significant revenues, esports differ because of the primacy of its profit motive. Unlike traditional sports, it does not see itself as the custodian of artefacts of great socio-cultural importance. This gives rise to a plethora of governance, policy, regulatory and legal issues. This article examines these issues through the lens of regulatory scholarship. Regulatory scholarship provides a valuable framework for examining why governments regulate in the form in which they regulate. Regulatory theory looks behind governments' stated public interest purposes to examine the impact private interests, institutional parameters, and ideational currents have on the regulatory endeavour. Regulatory scholarship enables us to look beyond traditional doctrinal law to debate the many complex issues and multiple perspectives inherent in the phenomena that is esports.

The problems in this study are: (1) There are still a lot of each Regional Apparatus Organization (OPD) that does not pay enough attention in submitting their performance data reports when it comes to the drafting team. (2) Data for filling in Key Performance Indicators (IKK) from each Regional Apparatus Organization (OPD) still contains data that is not filled in or does not match.This study uses a descriptive research method with a qualitative approach. This aims to determine the events or facts, phenomena that occur during descriptive research with data collection techniques in the form of interviews, observation and documentation using research instruments as interview guides to several informants who have been determined and the main data source in this study using Snowball Sampling.The results showed that the implementation of the compilation of regional government administration reports (LPPD) in the implementation of development in the city of Metro has been running based on the stipulated government regulations. The supporting factors for the Implementation of Regional Government Administration Report Preparation (LPPD) in the Implementation of Development in Metro City come from communication and resources, and the inhibiting factors come from the disposition and structure of the bureaucracy.

South Africa's former apartheid government deeply entrenched racial and gender inequalities amongst South Africans and excluded both blacks and women from participating in the economy and the workplace. Since the advent of democracy in the country in 1994, regulations such as the Employment Equity Act of 1998 were introduced to include both women and blacks in the working environment. The purpose of this study is to empirically examine the impact of gender diversity on 21 State-Owned Companies (SOCs), from 2010 to 2014. Correlation and regression analysis were used to investigate the relationship between women who are executive managers and the companies' financial performance (i.e. profit margin, return on assets and fruitless and wasteful expenditure as a percentage of revenue). The results indicate that there has been slow progress made by the South African government in recruiting women at the executive management level in SOCs. Furthermore, an insignificant relationship was found between women in executive positions and the financial performance of those SOCs. These findings are useful for South African regulators and policymakers as they justify efforts to employ women in the executive management teams in SOCs. The study adds to existing research in the private sector, demonstrating the financial benefits of gender diversity.

The globalisation of crime means there is an increasingly vital need for effective sharing of knowledge by police organisations across international borders. However, identifying the complexities and challenges of this aspect of international collaboration has been relatively neglected in previous research. The research reported in this paper therefore set out to identify the major barriers and facilitators of international knowledge sharing. Research teams in ten European countries produced ten case studies of knowledge sharing across borders, either involving direct cooperation between police forces in different countries or through international agencies such as CEPOL or INTERPOL. The integrative findings showed that the major influences on knowledge sharing could be theoretically categorised in terms of organisational factors (e.g., technological and staff capabilities), inter-organisational factors (e.g., quality of relationships, shared visions and systems), inter-country factors (e.g., bilateral conventions, legislation) and knowledge characteristics (e.g., clarity, legal sensitivity). Practical implications include standardising technology systems across countries, improving inter-organisational trust through exchanges and physical co-working, developing police members' knowledge and skills with regards to collaborative working and creating joint agreements and visions. Research implications highlighted the need to test the findings in non-European contexts and to comparatively focus on specific types of collaboration.

The advances in autonomous technologies and microelectronics have increased the use of Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in more critical applications, such as forest fire monitoring and fighting. In addition, implementing surveillance methods that provide rich information about the fires is considered a great tool for Emergency Response Teams (ERT). From this aspect and in collaboration with Telefónica Digital España, Dronitec S.L, and Divisek Systems, this paper presents a fire monitoring system based on perception algorithms, implemented on a UAV, to perform surveillance tasks allowing the monitoring of a specific area, in which several algorithms have been implemented to perform the tasks of autonomous take-off/landing, trajectory planning, and fire monitoring. This UAV is equipped with RGB and thermal cameras, temperature sensors, and communication modules in order to provide full information about the fire and the UAV itself, sending these data to the ground station in real time. The presented work is validated by performing several flights in a real environment, and the obtained results show the efficiency and the robustness of the proposed system, against different weather conditions. ; This work is supported by the Comunidad de Madrid Government through the Industrial Doctorates Grants (Grant No. IND2017/TIC-7834).
