| The Hydromythological Perspective in Literature on Tuk Bima Lukar: the Source of the Serayu River | Author : Risa Feriyanti, Endang Nurhayati | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Water is not only used for basic life needs such as drinking, bathing, cooking, and washing but also for irrigation and other needs, as it is a source of life. In Javanese society, there are many myths related to water, one of which is the myth of Tuk Bima Lukar, the spring source of the Serayu River. This oral literature myth can be analyzed to gain a deeper interpretation of its contents. Therefore, a multidisciplinary literary approach is needed for a more in-depth discussion. This research employs a hydromythological literary approach. The research reveals that Tuk Bima Lukar is considered holy water, believed to bring eternal youth and blessings to those who use it. Beyond the belief that the water from Tuk Bima Lukar can keep one young, it is also believed to bring its own blessings. This aligns with the concept of hydromythology, which assumes that water is a source of life, implying that the water from Tuk Bima Lukar brings blessings because it provides a source of life to the creatures around it. |

| An Analysis of the Impact of Seaport Efficiency on Nigerias Economic Growth. | Author : Ifeanyi Polycarp Maduechesi, Salam Shuaib Mohammed, Iruoghene Emohefe Odenu | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This research is driven by the objective to assess the impact of the seaport efficiency on Nigerias economic growth. The western ports of Lagos are selected as the Decision-Making Units (DMU) for this study covering the period of 2000 to 2020. Two stage estimation process is employed. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was deployed in the first stage to generate the efficiency index required to test the relationships. In the second stage, the efficiency index so generated is introduced as one of the independent variables in a multiple regression model, using Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model (ARDL). The finding shows that seaport efficiency has a negative but significant relationship with economic growth in both the long run and short run. The study concludes that seaport efficiency has an inverse relationship with Nigerias economic growth. The result of this study suggests that reforms may not have deepened the level of efficiency in the Nigerian seaport to drive positive economic growth, hence the recommendation for further investment in the terminal operational equipment and technological infrastructure to drive further efficiency in the sector. |

| Sports Mega Events: Impact to Inbound Tourism, Motorsport in Four Countries Vs Olympic Games in the Case of Greece | Author : Dr. Panagiotis Panagiotopoulos | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This paper examines the case of organizing motor sports mega events, in the context of the statistical data on tourism, for the countries Singapore - Turkey - Malaysia and Korea in relation to Greece over a 25-year horizon. The selection of these countries was based on their special morphological and touristic characteristics and the fact that these countries, apart from Greece, have undertaken to hold such major motor sports events. The questions that arise from such a comparison and correlation are whether the organization of major motorsport events contributes to the development of tourism in the host country and if this is the case, what is the time horizon of their contribution and in what ways does it contribute to it concerning inbound tourist figures. The discussion of the above statistical data was based on the literature (Angus et al. 2007, Chartas, P., et al. 2010, Varvaressos, 2009, Fisher and Wakefield, 1998, Hunt and Bashaw, 1999, Mitoula, 2006, Weed and Bull, 1997, Gibson et al. 2003, etc.) and the processing of published statistical data, in order to draw conclusions about the contribution or not of motor sports to the annual tourist arrivals of each country. From the study, it appeared that the year countries organized motorsport events there was an increase in inbound tourism in a percentage of 22% on average, taking advantage of the motorsport event, mainly in terms of the countrys international visibility and promotion, thus showing an increase in tourism in the years following the event as well. On the contrary, in Greece, despite having organized major sporting events (Olympic Games 2004), there is no statistical increase in tourist figures, except for the year 2013, which is also a research question. In conclusion, as can be seen from the available statistics, in addition to other methods for tourism development, the inclusion of motor sport events appears to contribute significantly to the increase in touristic arrivals. Concerning Greece in particular, the inclusion of such events in order to further stimulate countrys tourism, would be an important addition, especially if one considers the countrys existing tourism industry and its geostrategic position. |

| An Analysis of the Theory of Justice against the Standard of Proof Beyond Reasonable Doubt in the Judges Decision in the Jessica Kumala Wongso Case | Author : Jayanto Timbang, Aloysius Wisnubroto, Hyronimus Rhiti | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This research aims to find out the theory of justice that can be used by judges in proving criminal cases in Indonesia and the use of the theory of justice in the standard of proof beyond reasonable doubt in the judges decision in the Jessica Kumala Wongso case. This research uses normative legal research methods with legal philosophy, legislation and conceptual approaches. The data source used is secondary data consisting of primary legal materials and secondary legal materials analyzed qualitatively with deductive inference, starting with general principles and concepts about the theory of justice and the standard of proof beyond reasonable doubt, the analysis moves towards specific propositions to determine the value of justice and the relevance of this standard in the judges decision in the Jessica Kumala Wongso case. The study found that Gustav Radbruchs theory of justice can be applied by judges in Indonesian criminal cases, using six evidentiary parameters: theory of evidence, minimum evidence, evidence, presentation of evidence, burden of proof, and strength of proof. These parameters reflect Radbruchs legal values of justice, purpose, and legal certainty. Judges using Radbruchs theory prioritize justice, followed by purpose and legal certainty. In Jessicas case, despite doubts about the evidence, the judges found her guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, aligning with Radbruchs principle that justice should take precedence in the standard of proof. |

| Land Cover and Water Ecosystem Services: Assessment of Bigbiga Protected Landscape (BPL) | Author : Jeusom Jerie C. Manuel, Francisco N. Divina | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This study assessed the profile of respondents, the level of implementation of water ecosystem services, and the relationships between these factors within the Bigbiga Protected Landscape (BPL). It also examined land cover changes from 2010 to 2024 and their correlation with water ecosystem services implementation. Additionally, the study aimed to identify problems in implementing water ecosystem services and propose policies to enhance these services. A descriptive correlational research design was employed, utilizing survey questionnaires to gather data on respondents profiles and perceptions of water ecosystem services implementation. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to explore relationships between profile of respondents and water ecosystem services implementation. Remote sensing and GIS techniques facilitated the analysis of land cover changes, while a t-test evaluated the relationship between these changes and water ecosystem services implementation. The study found that the BPL communitys diverse demographic profile reflects a strong connection to the environment. Notably, watershed protection, biodiversity conservation, flood control and disaster risk, community awareness and education, policy development and integrated resource management are strongly implemented. However, perceptions of service implementation varied significantly with age, length of residency, and household size. The land cover analysis revealed a substantial increase in open forest areas between 2010 and 2024, although these changes did not significantly affect the implementation of water ecosystem services. A key issue identified was the inadequacy of water quality and quantity management. To address these challenges, a comprehensive policy is proposed, focusing on improving water management through enhanced monitoring, public participation, enforcement of standards, and adaptive policy mechanisms. The study concludes that implementing customized educational programs, establishing a dedicated task force and local water management committees, and enhancing outreach efforts designed for different demographic groups are essential for the effective management of the BPLs natural resources. Strengthening enforcement mechanisms, improving water system infrastructure, and promoting community involvement in forest protection and water management are recommended to ensure the sustainable use and conservation of water resources in the BPL. |

| Time Series Econometric Analysis of ODOPs Contribution to State-Level GDP Growth in India | Author : Prashant Kumar, Professor V.N.Gupta, Professor Kanchan Lata Sinha | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This study examines the economic impact of the One District One Product (ODOP) scheme on state-level GDP growth in India using time-series econometric models from 2011 to 2023. The ODOP initiative, launched by the Indian government, aims to promote regional economic development by fostering unique local products from each district. By employing Vector Autoregression (VAR) and Johansen Co-Integration methods, the research quantitatively assesses the causal relationship between the ODOP scheme and GDP growth across various states. Preliminary findings suggest that ODOP significantly contributes to regional GDP, particularly through enhancing local production and market reach, thereby integrating regional economies into national and global value chains. This study underscores the importance of targeted regional policies in achieving broader economic objectives and fostering sustainable development. It also highlights the ODOP schemes role in promoting traditional products and skills, which aligns with the governments larger goals of a self-reliant India. |
