This study aims to clarify the role and efforts of the Department of Spatial Planning and Human Settlements in managing waste in Bulukumba. This type of research is qualitative with data collection using interviews and observation instruments. The data is analyzed deskriktif and interpretation to the informant to conduct interviews. The results showed that: in carrying out the role as implementor and supervisor of the waste management in Bulukumba, Spatial Planning and Human Settlements Bulukumba can not yet provide the maximum results. Not maximal results are affected by the lack of human resources and lack of infrastructure are still available have greater influence in waste management. The contributing factors are: public participation and the availability of land (TPA).    Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan peran dan upaya Dinas Tata Ruang dan Cipta Karya dalam mengelola sampah di Kabupaten Bulukumba. Jenis penelitian ini adalah Kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan instrumen wawancara dan observasi. Data tersebut dianalisis secara deskriktif dan interpretasi kepada informan dengan melakukan wawancara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: dalam melaksanakan peran sebagai implementor dan pengawas terhadap pengelolaan sampah di Kabupaten Bulukumba, Dinas Tata Ruang dan Cipta Karya Kabupaten Bulukumba belum dapat memberikan hasil yang maksimal. Belum maksimalnya hasil tersebut dipengaruhi oleh kurangnya sumber daya manusia serta masih minimnya sarana dan prasarana yang tersedia memiliki pengaruh lebih besar dalam pengelolaan sampah. Adapun faktor pendukung yakni: partisipasi masyarakat dan ketersediaan lahan (TPA).

Members of legislatures are relying on the researchers to guide and advise them on the alternatives to deliver on their constitutional mandates of law making, oversight, public participation and cooperative governance. The researchers are also dependent on the Senior Information Officers for the provision of current comprehensive, unbiased and reliable information in order to develop research and advisory documents to be used by legislators when carrying out their mandates. However, legislators often decry the standard of research and advisory documents, citing the shortcomings which include among others: inadequateness, inaccuracy and lack of credibility of the information upon which they are to base their decisions or policy direction. This study was set out to investigate the extent to which researchers in the legislatures utilise the information provided by the Senior Information Officers (SIOs) and/or the reasons for non-utilisation thereof in cases where information is not utilised. The study used a qualitative research approach to establish meaning from the views of the participants. In-depth interviews were used as a key method of data collection. The findings of this study suggest that the Gauteng Provincial Legislature’s researchers do not make full use of the Information provided to them by the SIOs. Furthermore, researchers appeared not to value the role played by the SIOs in keeping the legislators informed but rather as duplicating the researchers’ role.

Contemporary planning debate goes beyond the issues of material placemaking. It has been proposed that Public Participation Geographical Information System (PPGIS) methods (mapping platforms in particular) can help to achieve civic maturity, sense of agency, and the social development of the inhabitants. However, researchers need to be consciously engaged (e.g., embracing a Participatory Action Research [PAR] approach), to really pass those platforms to the hands of the community and help the inhabitants to form a two-way communication. With the right use, mapping platforms can be more than just a simple data collection tool. Used without deeper awareness, it can only remain a modern tool.

This study aims to know waste utilization of oil palm empty fruit bunches in Jorong Koto Sawah  Nagari Ujunggading District Of Lembah Melintang  West Pasaman. This type of research is descriptive. The population is head of the family in Jorong Koto Sawah Nagari Ujunggading District of Lembah Melintang  totaled  1141 households. Samples were taken by purposive sampling region (designation) with 3 Jorong Koto Sawah 1) Dusun Banjar Kapar, 2) Dusun Muara Simpang, 3) Dusun Tanjung Harapan which has the highest number of people in Jorong Koto Sawah. The sample of respondents was taken with the proportion of 25% of the number of households, so that a population of 100 families. Data collection through questionnaires or instruments. Techniques of analysis using the analysis of the percentage formula. The research found that: (1) Awareness of the utilization of waste palm empty fruit bunches are in less good criteria, with a percentage of 56,8%, (2) Public Participation on the utilization of waste oil palm empty fruit bunches are in less good criteria, with a percentage of 56,9%, and (3) Motivation Communities to the utilization of waste oil palm empty fruit bunches are in the criteria is not good, with a percentage of 53.5%

AbstractX-ray induced radiation damage is a limiting factor for the macromolecular crystallographer and data must often be merged from many crystals to yield complete datasets for structure solution of challenging samples. Increasing the X-ray energy beyond the typical 10-15 keV range promises to provide an extension of crystal lifetime via an increase in diffraction efficiency. To date however hardware limitations have negated any possible gains. Through the first use of a Cadmium Telluride Eiger2 detector and a beamline optimised for high energy data collection, we show that at higher energies fewer crystals will be required to obtain complete data, as the diffracted intensity per unit dose increases by a factor of more than 3 between 12.4 and 25 keV. Additionally, those higher energy data provide more information, evidenced by an increase in high-resolution limit of up to 0.3 Å, pointing to a high energy future for synchrotron-based macromolecular crystallography.
