Abstract:<\/em><\/strong> Health Sector is one of the most important sectors of a country. Obviously, compared to decades ago health-care centers have advanced significantly, especially with the implementation of hospital management system, enterprise resource planner and supply chain management. In addition, telemedicine has opened a new arena in health sector. However, there have been several attempts by researchers to examine electronic collaboration between the health-care centers owing to inadequate collaborative systems in place for the health-care centers.\u00a0 This paper investigates the current situation of health-care collaboration system, and come up with a proposal for a deployment approach that can be adopted for implementing collaborative systems in health care centers.<\/p>\n

Abstract<\/em><\/strong>: Biological fixation of CO2<\/sub> has been identified as one of the emerging technologies under the Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) program. This natural means of capturing emitted CO2 through photosynthetic microalgae while producing some value-added byproducts can be regarded to be economically viable and more sustainable. This work takes an early initiative in this regard by performing a scanning task for available marine microalgae species in the vicinity of a coastal coal-fired Janamanjung Power Plant along the Straits of Malacca. Samples from three locations in the vicinity of the station were collected using 35 \uf06dm mesh plankton net and their physical and chemical properties were compiled. Afterward, the samples were subjected to meticulous chemical enrichment employing suitable microbiological techniques and medium for their propagation. Identifications of survived species were carried out by careful observations and comparisons of the specimens\u2019 morphologies under microscope. Species names tagging were done in accordance to established taxonomic classification. Dominant microalgae species appears to be of cyanophyceae algae consisting of Trichodesmium thiebautie<\/em>, Nannochloropsis sp.<\/em>, Tetraselmis sp.<\/em>, Chlorella sp.<\/em> and Isochrysis sp.<\/em>, forming in between 57 % – 75 % of mean population. Of these five species, Isochrysis sp.<\/em>, has been found to be the most dominant species, being 40% – 50 % of population count. At least four of these identified species are renowned to be commonly cited in literatures of having satisfactory and good qualities on biomass yield, lipid content, antioxidant properties and nutritional values.<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/em><\/strong> With constant increment in the number of elderly generation in the community, there are demands for preparing special facilities inside and outside the buildings especially in the old folk\u2019s home in order to provide a quality life for the veterans. Nowadays, the society is so materialistic that they are oblivious to their responsibility towards their parents by sending them to the old folk\u2019s home. There is insufficiency of facilities to accommodate the number of occupants which are increasing day by day. Focuses of this study are to identify the existing facilities and to identify the perceptions of occupants in the old folk\u2019s home. The proposed research methodologies are observation and questionnaires. From the research, it shows that manager of the homes are having financial problem to provide facilities required. The number of temporary residents who are also troublesome to the managers to plan new facilities. All the respondents suggested that it would be good if the facilities are repaired and improved to increase the number of facilities provided in the line with the increment of the veterans in the community. The management of the old folk\u2019s home keeps on giving excuses regarding inadequate facilities but they don\u2019t realize that it\u2019s their responsibility to provide such facilities no matter what problems they are facing in order to implement the facilities improvement planning. Management should avoid pointing on other party to clear their name. The results of research shows that all the facilities in the buildings are limited, the facilities must be repaired and upgraded to increase the quality facilities. Preparation and facility management is expected to improve the quality of life of the veterans. Upgrading suggestions can be divided into a few parts which are outdoor design, interior design and signage inside and outside of the old folk\u2019s home.<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/em><\/strong> While the focus of ecotourism has largely been on rural or sensitive areas, the vast majority of tourists visit an urban environment. This article examines how the ecotourists\u00a0 developed the concept of urban green tourism\u00a0 a concept that promotes environmental responsibility, local economic vitality, cultural diversity and experiential richness.Basic aspects of sustainable housing design such as increasing density, mixed use and proximity to public transport are being adopted increasingly in Developed cities. Assessment of the uptake of sustainable planning initiatives reveals the prevalence of a decidedly neoliberal agenda which shies away from the more substantial challenges ecocity design and community-based enterprise may represent. Such community-based initiatives must, however, be supported at a broader scale, to avoid possible outsourcing of governmental responsibility or the relegation of sustainable design to the sole realm of the wealthy.\u00a0This article elaborates on the promises and challenges permeating the management for development of ecocities community and highlights eco and green spaces and natural sustainable transportation options among other features. The development and launch of the map is discussed and some of the problems encountered are examined. Key strategies for launching ecotourism products are presented in the recommendations.<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/em><\/strong> Adaptation of the arrowroot processing technologies developed by BUCAF, Guinobatan, Albay in 2004, and tested in the Province of Marinduque in 2006, is conducted in typhoon prone marginal areas in Bicol. Mr. Jimmy Ibarreta\u00a0 of\u00a0 Bgy. Morera, Guinobatan, Albay was the farmer cooperator of the project. Planting of local varieties of arrowroot was done at BUCAF, Guinobatan, Albay. Production ranges from 1.7 to 2.5 kg\/m2<\/sup> for shaded and open areas respectively. The size of rhizomes is smaller than that of the Marinduque variety by 20% in length and in diameter. Processing Plant analysis showed a capacity of 1000 kg\/day with starch recovery of 12-14%, machine efficiencies ranges from 86 to 99%. The operational cost of the processing system was at P7.00\/kg to include P2.00\/kg from washing to water removal, drying at 1.50\/kg, and buying price of P5.00\/kg for fresh tubers. Economic analysis resulted to an ROI of 41.53% at 960 hours annual use. Added value per kg of processed arrowroot is at P2.20\/kg excluding by-products. The processing arrowroot is technically and economically feasible in producing quality starch. Commercialization of the technology shall be done in Bicol and Laguna marginal areas.<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/em><\/strong> This paper is concerned with Confucianism and Islamic ideas in the concept of man. An effort has been made to compare these 2 great civilizations in order to find out four relations which between human being and nature; human being and humanized nature (society); human being and other human; human being and himself\u00a0 in order to boost sustainable development which constitutes an important aspect of the great commonness which they are sharing. The study undertaken here comparison between Confucianism and Islamic ideas under the concept of man\u2014will deal with some basic doctrines in Confucianism and Islam such as the sayings of the Analects, the Quran and the Hadith. The attempt is made to see what kind of ideas of the concept of man in these 2 civilizations is eager to build a great moral character from inside out of human. Also it shows us how these ideas helped two civilizations leading their society to the prosperity in the ancient time and today. Human being\u2019s power could have good effect to lead the society into a sustainable development; also it could have dangerous effect which we can find out from the present reality. The current natural and social warnings keep telling us that human being\u2019s incorrect behaviors has put the whole society into the edge of survival crisis. Comparing to our ancestors, we may have advanced technology, but they had more balanced and harmony society for their people. It is time for us to learn what they looked at human being in their mind and what they expect human for a sustainable society. In addition to this great commonness between them, Confucianism and Islamic ideas of the concept of man also offers the great spiritual power which people desperately need it today.<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/em><\/strong> Scientific research on human-environmental interactions is now a budding sustainability science. The concept recognises that the well-being of human society is closely related to the well-being of natural ecosystems. Traditional knowledge is vital for sustainability of natural resources including forests, water, and agro ecosystems across landscape continuum spanning from households through farms, village, commons and wilderness. This article identifies recent developments in local knowledge research and interface this with the challenges that contemporary society faces\u00a0 and how\u00a0 local knowledge can be useful to address the biodiversity conservation. Humanity faces exceptional challenge of eroding natural resources and declining ecosystems services due to a multitude of threats created by unprecedented growth and consumerism. Also imperilled is the biodiversity and sustainability of the essential ecological processes and life support systems in human dominated ecosystems across scales. Indeed, human-domination of earth is evident in global change biodiversity extinctions and disruption of ecosystem functions. Ecological problems coupled with unequal access to resources results in human ill-being and threats to the livelihood security of the world’s poorest.<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/em><\/strong> This paper examines the critical success factors of effective Enterprise-Wide Risk Management (EWRM) practices that have an effect on shareholder value. Financial and non-financial companies of Public Listed Companies (PLCs) of service sector had been chosen as a population to determine the crucial factors that should be considered for a success implementation of EWRM. A triangulation approach was adopted to get an enriched data collection and analysis for the study. From a survey on 14 financial companies and 41 non-financial companies and 4 companies of a case study, it is found that organisational culture is a most critical factor which contributes more to a success implementation of EWRM and has an effect on shareholder value. Significantly, the function and the effectiveness of other critical success factors were depended on strong organisational culture. The other EWRM critical success factors identified were risk management base, compliance, resource, cross-functional staff, knowledge management, and authority or power.<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/em><\/strong> This paper has explored current literature for developing HRD dimension, to reduce natural hazard transformation to human disaster. Systematic literature review and expert opinion has been conducted. Quantitative data is collected from disaster databases. Discussion revealed that historical, religious and structural root causes, complimented by dynamic societal and institutional imbalances, combined with unsafe physical locations, limits the coping mechanisms of a society against natural and human hazards resulting in vulnerability. Lacking of HRD attributes like credibility, competence and expertise, are responsible for vulnerability progression. The conclusion proposes a framework for assessing HRD Coping Capacity Gaps. The paper is significant to policy makers, researchers and academicians.<\/p>\n
