Abstract

Surround a big river estuary coastline has a dynamic characteristic and change along a period of time, because of anatural process and/or it is accelerated by human activities. The surround Sekampung river estuary coastline located in Rawa Sragi area is one of the most dynamic coastlines in southern Lampung Province that has changed significantly from 1959 (as a natural process) to year 1987 (as an accelerated process by human activities) since the government of Indonesia has applied swamp drainage system for Rawa Sragi area. It is likely that the coastline has changed significantly in the period of 1987 to 2009 (as an increasing intensity of the human activities in the surrounding Rawa Sragi land). The objective of this research was to analyze the coastline change in the surrounding of Sekampung river estuary in two periods of time: (1) the change of the 1959 – 1987 period coastlines; and (2) the change of the 1987 – 2009 period coastlines. The method of this research was a GIS technique, the implementation was divided into three main steps: (1) the first analysis was conducted in laboratory include raster data source analysis and registration, coastline digitations, and overlaying and analysis of the coastline data; (2) field observation (ground check) was conducted to observe and verify the ground existing coastline; and (3) the last analysis wasconducted after ground check activity to improve and to verify the first coastline analysis results. The result of this research indicated that coastline change in the period of 1959 to 1987 increased the coast land as much as 717.19 hectares, but decreased the coast land as much as 308.51 hectares. Furthermore the coastline change in the period of 1987 to 2009 increased the coast land as much as 162.504 hectares, but decreased the coast land as much as 492.734 hectares. The 1959 – 1987 coastline change was a coast land increasing period, but the 1987 – 2009 coastline change was a coast land decreasing period.Keywords: Abrasion, accretion, coast land, coastline, estuary

Abstract

The communication teachers –parents is going to be even more essential for the progress of the child. So it tends to be directand all inclusive with the aim of evidencing the progress of the success of the child. The information, is very important in transmitting thechanges and the new ideas in the educational process, as a primary form of communication .This study tends to analyze some problemsfaced in information and as a result in communication parents - teachers. To highlight these problems we have done a questionnaire withapproximately 100 parents of primary and secondary school children, from which we tend to present that the information in our schools isnot in the required expectations, especially in public schools. In non-public schools, in which the information is more formal andinstitutional toward every parent are also evaluated some details and elements as: parents meeting, school activities, tests etc.,consequently the communication is more different in the simplicity, objectivity in evaluation and judgment. On the other hand this studytends to bring different forms of communication, which are applicable nowadays in Shkodra city schools. Also what they suggest to do intheir point of view, what they want from the school, how they want to collaborate with teachers and other staff to be more fruitful andsuccessful for their children.

Abstract

For more than a decade now, Nigeria has been witnessing a continuous improvement and boom in theapplication of Information and Communications Technology in all the vital sectors of her economy. Thereis an increasing dependency on computer programs for critical infrastructures, business processes andoperations. This boom is not abating, and is resulting in a corresponding increase in the number ofcompanies and individuals who join an increasing population of software engineers, enterprise applicationdevelopers and programmers. But regrettably, the boom has given rise to a host of ethical issues. Theability to make sound ethical judgement and decision is becoming very important as “half-baked” softwaredevelopers produce critical software that are supposed to run critical business functions and operations. Tocompound this problem the few technical schools or colleges that produce the very needed programmersand web designers do not have a clue that there is something negative creeping in from another angle;they do not have qualified or versed instructors to arm their graduates with the basic foundationknowledge in software professional ethics which is needed to effectively practise the art of softwareengineering in the society at large.This paper investigates the state of software engineering ethics in theface of Nigeria’s upwelling Information and Communications Technology and intention to produce and uselocally designed and implemented software. The paper calls attention to the nonchalance, dispassion andmass negligence attendant to this issue. It further highlights and calls for adherence to sound ethics at alllevels of software production in the Nigerian society at large. The paper uses a case-study and scenario toillustrate how to start doing so.
