The classical economists have mostly focused their attention on the
functioning of the market and not on the role of the state. The analyses of various
democracies are based on the assumption that the State decisions once made are
applied as intended by the authorities who are responsible for their practical
implementation. The economics of regulation is situated at the intersection of the
public economics and industrial economics, it explores different forms of
government intervention in industrial activities to simulate either to control or even
to reprove them. Public intervention can take different forms: in Europe the most
common practice is the nationalization, it is the public monopoly of law. In the
United States operation of this natural monopoly is assured through economic
regulation, that is to say all means by which Governments directly influence the
activity of companies while maintaining the framework of the private property. It is
very important to distinguish between the economic regulation of an activity that
focuses on the price and the determination of the structure of offer, and the social
regulation concerning the conditions for the exercise in the activity and the physical
characteristics of the products or services (protection of workers in their working
conditions (health, security), rules of environmental protection or standardization of
products (quality).

10.21276/sjhss.2018.3.3.13
In the era of technology security surveillance is rapidly increasing in
most of the nations worldwide. Continuous security threats to public safety and
national security demand use of such systems. The surveillance is often carried out
by governments or governmental organisations, but may also be carried out by
corporations, either on behalf of governments or at their own initiative. Depending
on each nation's laws and judicial systems, the legality of and the permission
required to engage in mass surveillance varies. It is often distinguished
from targeted surveillance. No one can deny the fact that electronic surveillance
systems offer advanced functionalities which threaten the privacy of those recorded
in the video. In order to increase the public acceptance of surveillance systems, it is
important that they obey the law of the state where they are installed and that their
deployment strikes a balance between security and the need to protect privacy.
There is an urgent need to balance the usage of electronic surveillance against its
negative impact on privacy. In this research paper researcher is trying to discuss
privacy issues and legal requirements associated with electronic surveillance.

More than 2 billion people in the world today suffer from micronutrient
deficiencies caused largely by a dietary efficiency of vitamins and minerals. The
public health importance of these deficiencies lies upon their magnitude and their
health consequences, especially in pregnant women and young children, as they
affect fetal and child growth, cognitive development and resistance to infection.
Although people in all population groups in all regions of the world may be affected,
the most widespread and severe problems are usually found amongst resource poor,
food insecure and vulnerable households in developing country. Some efforts that
have been done to solve the problem such as micronutrient fortification in rice,
because it is the staple food consumed by more than 90% Indonesia’s population. The
objectives of this research were determined and evaluated the stability of
micronutrient level during rice fortification and cooking. The results showed that
micronutrients decreased during rice fortification and cooking. The raw-fortified rice
contained 38.52 - 59.91mg/L of iodine, 0.92-1.79mg/L of vitamin A and15.64 -
48.39 mg/L of iron depending on the concentration of the coating material used.
After cooking, the fortified rice contained 3.00- 3.93mg/L of iodine,0.43 - 1.0 mg/L
of vitamin A and 12.92-19.66 mg/lof iron. The levels of micronutrients,
although experienced significant losses, still meet the daily needs according to the
Regulation of World Health Organization.

In the past decade, academic world established a variety of fragile states
index systems. They were generally based on the evaluation of society, environment,
economy and government. Given that climate change has far-reaching impact for the
quality of humankind and the development of a country, we have reasons to believe
that climate change may have increased fragility of a country. We used analytic
hierarchy process and established fuzzy synthetic evaluation models to identify when
a sate is fragile, vulnerable, or stable. And we used the gray correlation method to
analyze the correlation between climate change and each evaluation indicators. Then,
we combined with Yemen's specific situation; we found that climate change makes its
more fragile through the impact to food production, water supply, natural disasters
and other evaluation indicators. We also demonstrated that Yemen will not become
so vulnerable without these adverse weather effects.

This paper analyzes the significance of standing tall as Christian parents in an immoral society; a topic that was prompted by a statement written by the Atheists of Kenya entitled, ‘Rearing children without God’[1]. Basing discussions on library readings, descriptive survey and reflective experiences, the author tries to answer why Christian parents ought to stand tall and be moral in a decaying society. In the process, the paper answers two important questions; first, how Christian parents should live in an immoral society without being part of it. Further the question, how this Christian living touches or impacts on their children’s lives will be answered. Second, what biblical justification do Christian parents have for being moral within the context of an immoral society?

Combining with the actual conditions of Venezuela, we apply fuzzy
synthetic evaluation models based on analytic hierarchy process to calculate the
tipping point that makes the country fragile. Then, we establish a gray forecasting
model and predict that the climate change will push the country to more fragile by
indirectly affecting food production, water supply, natural disasters and economy in 3
years. Finally, we have reason to believe that the government can effectively mitigate
the impact of climate change on the state fragility through some human intervention.

In Kenya there are obstacles to access to information at the county level
which include among other issues-Language barrier. This has impeded public
participation hindering county development. This is augmented by Kenya Institute
of Economic Affairs report, World Bank report and First Devolution Conference
report. The financial jargon used in Homa Bay County’s budget discourse texts
hinders public participation which has formed a communication breakdown
between the county government of Homa Bay and the public. Findings on
Discourse Analysis from various linguists do not explain “discourse exclusion”, a
peculiar case where the county government and the people are constitutionally
mandated to engage in a discourse but fails to do so due to relevance. This research
article looked into processing effort at both lexical and phrasal levels in order to
analyze the processing effort at both the lexical and phrasal levels of the financial
budget discourse texts of Homa Bay County Government. Theory used is
Relevance Theory (Sperber &Wilson,2004)whose tenets include; cognitive effects,
processing effort and contextual assumptions. The study used descriptive design;
the research area is Homa Bay County Kenya. The population includes 428,911
persons who had attained the voting age of 18 years and budget discourse texts
between 2014 and 2016.Snowballing was used to sample 43 members of the
public, and 20 linguistic items that formed the budget discourse text between 2014
and 2016.Data collection techniques involved; use of questionnaires, structured
oral interviews, tape recording and content analysis of available documents. Data
analysis was done thematically and presented in textual and tabular forms and in
line with literature and theory used; descriptive design was used. Findings show
that phrasal processing effort is cognitively more involving than lexical processing
effort. The study is significant in building pragmatic theories, editing and enhances
public communication mechanisms for the wider economic development.

The population structure, growth, mortality and exploitation status of Euthynnus alletteratus were examined in the Gulf of Guinea between January 2015 and December 2016. Monthly length frequency data of Euthynnus alletteratus were analyzed by FiSAT II software for estimation of population parameters which include asymptotic length (L∞), specific growth level (K) and recruitment pattern to evaluate the status of the stock. Asymptotic length was 100.8 cm, and specific growth level was 0.07 yr-1, value was too low, while the growth performance index was 2.85. Total mortality (Z) by length-converted catch curve was estimated at 0.82 yr-1, fishing mortality (F) 0.61yr-1 and natural mortality (M) 0.21 yr-1. The recruitment pattern was continuous all the year with two peaks of unequal importance: the secondary appears between March and April while the main is observed from July to August. The exploitation level (E) of Euthynnus alletteratus was 0.74 that on the maximum allowable limit of exploitation (Emax) which was 0.42. The exploitation level (E>0.50) indicates that the fishing pressure on Euthynnus alletteratus is very high. Thus the status of the stock in the Gulf of Guinea seems to be surexploited

10.21276/sjeat.2018.3.3.5
Indonesia's chemical industry is faced with the challenge of increasing its
supply chain competitiveness, while the chemical industry in Indonesia generally still
does not have a holistic performance measurement system in its supply chain. The
objective of this research is to develop the framework of supply chain performance
measurement of the chemical industry using SCOR and DMAIC models. The
research stages are the selection of chemical industry supply chain indicators,
benchmarking of indicators, development of the framework for supply chain
performance measurement for Indonesia’s chemical industry, and the improvement of
the supply chain performance. The implementation was carried out at the cases in the
market leader company which produces textile dyes product in Indonesia. The result
of expert consensus recommends 28 indicators of the industrial chemical supply
chain. The best in class for each supply chain performance indicator become the
performance target on the performance measurement framework which is developed.
The results of measuring the performance of the chemical industry supply chain in
the textile dyes product showed good performance at flexibility aspect, medium at
cost, reliability, and asset management cost aspect, and low at responsiveness aspect.
There were three critical to quality (CTQ) for responsiveness aspects; these are
demand analysis, raw material issue, and breakdown machine. The recommended
improvements are to provide training on demand analysis, to improve communication
with the regional party, to provide alternative vendors, raw material scheduling,
procurement of buffer stock for raw material critical, and scheduling preventive
maintenance.
