NOVY J. KASENDA

Abstract: The purpose of this research was to determine the use of village funds in the development of Terung Water in Malola Village, South Minahasa Regency. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. The research subjects were the village head, the village secretary and the Village Consultative Body. The data collection technique is done by interview, observation and documentation. The results of this study indicate that program planning has not been going well because of the lack of attention from several parties, including village officials and the community. The use of village funds, too, is not in accordance with existing regulations because it is not timely in making implementation reports. Supervision of the performance of terung water development is said to be inadequate, this is due to inhibiting factors in supervision, one of which is the weak performance of village management.

SALES BUDGET ANALYSIS IN REVIEW OF SOME FORECASTING METHODS IN EFFORTS TO INCREASE INCOME AT PT. NM MANADO
Denny I.Y Rompas

Abstract: The purpose of this research is to determine the sales budget which is reviewed by the forecasting method, namely using the Semi Average Trend, Moment Trend and Least Square Trend in an effort to increase the profit of PT. NM Manado, and want to know which forecasting method is more profitable. The research method used in this research is comparative quantitative. Quantitative comparative, namely the preparation of a sales budget that is reviewed in various forecasting methods to increase profits, as well as to find out which forecasting method is more suitable for use in the preparation of a sales budget at PT. NM Manado. Techniques for obtaining data about the object to be studied include: interviews, documentation and observation. The results showed that the sales budget using the least squares method was more profitable than the other two forecasting methods.

Psychosocial factors as predictors of quality of life and the moderating role of resilience among cancer patients in Lautech Teaching Hospital, Osun State
Odediji Jumoke Victoria , Professor Grace Adejuwon

Abstract: Quality of Life (QOL) is an important outcome criterion in oncology and is a major concern of patients with cancer. However, most of them have been conducted in Western countries, and there are relatively few studies of this nature in Nigeria. It is in this light that this study examines the role of coping strategies, dispositional optimism, perceived social support and resilience on quality of life among cancer patients in Osogbo, Osun State. The Buffer theory of social support, stress and coping social support theory serve as the framework for the study. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey research design. A purposive sampling technique was used to select participants for the study. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire comprising socio-demographic characteristics, coping strategies, dispositional optimism, perceived social support, resilience and quality of life scales. Data was analyzed using zero-order correlation and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The study found that coping strategies, dispositional optimism, and perceived social support predicts quality of life. The study also found that resilience moderated the relationship between coping strategies, dispositional optimism, perceived social support, and quality of life. The study concludes that coping strategies, dispositional optimism, and perceived social support are significant predictors of quality of life among cancer patients in Lautech Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, Osun State. Specifically, resilience was a significant moderator of quality of life among cancer patients as it acts as a buffer for cancer patients who have low social supports. The study suggests that quality of life can be improved by helping cancer patients to develop more supportive social networks, high level of optimism, stress coping strategy and building resilience may help in developing wellbeing in form of quality of life.

DYE Disassembler: How to make the water that is used to color the cloths with fabric dye reusable without treatment power plants
Mark W. Messak, Ahmed R. Mohamed , Seif El-den S. Hussien, Ramy S. El-sayed

Abstract: Water is one of the essentials needed to live on Earth. From animals to plants, all living things depend on water to continue life. Unfortunately, water now faces many threats and crises that will affect its supply in the future. One of these most prominent challenges facing Egypt is a water shortage, a significant problem. However, every issue has a solution regardless of its difficulty, and there are different ways to solve this problem. One of the most effective and least expensive methods is water reuse, which relies on changing the process itself or its main components so that the resulting water becomes reusable without any treatment. We have chosen to apply this idea to the textile industry dyeing process because it produces large amounts of wastewater. In Almost dye factories, NaOH, a strong base, is used after finishing the dying process, cleaning the container from the dye, and then discharge the colored wastewater, which causes many environmental disasters. So, we decided to replace NaOH with NaOCL, which cleans the container and removes the color of the dye from the water faster. This obviously will decrease the pH of the water compared to NaOH, and that why we choose pH as a design requirement. After we tested our prototype, we found that the produced water contains HOCL, which has beneficial uses like killing most viruses. Subsequently, our idea succeeds in performing the water reuse as the produced water is reusable.
