Abstract: Bangladesh, a proud maritime nation, boasts a rich heritage in shipping and shipbuilding. However, it has struggled to keep up with the global shipbuilding race for several reasons. To address this, the utilization of SWOT analysis becomes an invaluable tool for strategy formulation, providing guidance in making viable decisions rather than serving as a strict prescription. In order for Bangladesh's shipbuilding industry to flourish, it is crucial to identify its strengths, rectify internal weaknesses, and implement protective measures against external threats. Harnessing the nation's potential and capitalizing on available opportunities are vital for ensuring the sustainable development of the shipbuilding industry. This paper aims to analyze Bangladesh's shipbuilding industry using the SWOT framework. By conducting this analysis, the paper will shed light on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges faced by the local shipbuilding sector. Additionally, it will offer recommendations on suitable markets, as well as insights into the industry's potentials and hurdles. By undertaking a comprehensive examination of these factors, Bangladesh can strive to regain its position in the global shipbuilding arena. Through strategic planning and effective decision-making, the country can forge a path towards a prosperous future for its shipbuilding industry.

Abstract: Researcher need to know that traffic accidents are the ninth highest cause of death and are responsible for 2.2% of all deaths globally, road safety audits are one way to anticipate traffic accidents. Accidents that generally occur due to various factors together, namely: human factors, environmental factors and climatic factors. The purpose of this study is to conduct a Road Safety Audit in an effort to reduce accidents related to the use of safety triangles on the heaviest axle vehicles over 8 tons/large size vehicles. Research using descriptive method with a qualitative approach and interview methods. Traffic accidents often occur in cases where the driver of the vehicle collides with a truck or vehicle that is parked or stopped on the shoulder of the road. In conclusion, the factor that increases the occurrence of traffic accidents in the Province of Yogyakarta Special Region is the factor of the installation of a safety triangle which is still not good enough so that other road users do not see the vehicle stopping or parking. Handling to reduce the level of traffic accidents in the Special Region of Yogyakarta is recommended that the Government add regulations on the use of safety triangles on the highway so that safety triangles are visible to other motorists when used to reduce the risk of accidents.

Abstract: The agricultural and export performance of the country determine the Economic growth in Ethiopia. However, Agricultural export performance, granger causality with GDP, labor and capital, the short run and long run dynamic relationship among the variables is not well studied, documented and updated. Therefore, the study aimed to examine influence of agriculture, trade, labour and capital to the economic growth. The analytical procedure applied were Engle-Granger for causality, Johansen Approach for co-integration and error-correction model. The results indicated that in the long run Ethiopian economic growth defined as positive function of agricultural exports, imports and capital, while population negatively affect the growth. In the short run, lagged gross domestic product explained positively the economic growth, while the agricultural imports, capital and population size influenced negatively. The result implied that the correction in one period draws back to the other period at speed of 41%. Therefore, diversifications, adopting labor intensive industries and improvement in fixed capital formation were policy directions that can stimulate growth of Ethiopia Economy.

Abstract: Monitoring the distribution of land-cover change plays a very important role in making decisions about land-use activities of the environmental management. Ben Tre is a new developing city in the Mekong Delta, an average topographical elevation of which is less than five meters across the province. This is one of the areas that is quite sensitive to fluctuations in mean sea level rise. In the current context, the effects of global climate change on the natural environment have become more and more obvious, especially for coastal plain areas with relatively low terrain elevation. Therefore, it is necessary to generate and update constantly land-cover or land-use maps for coastal plain areas such as Ben Tre province. Based on the land-cover or land-use maps produced over many stages, environmental managers could monitor the changing directions of the distribution of land-cover and then make sound and rational decisions about land-use activities. The main purpose of this topic is to study and build a decision tree model which can extract the real land-cover information from Landsat images in the most effective way to generate a land-cover or land-use map. Thereby, it is possible to reduce the costs of field trips during the mapping process. Research results show that the accuracy of modelling interpretation on different objects ranges from 73% to 97%. The average accuracy of the prediction results across the region reached 86.7%.

Abstract: Information on the effects of various land-use types on selected soil physicochemical properties is critical for the sustainable use of soil resources. As a result, this study was carried out to assess the Conversion in Land-Use Alter Soil Physiochemical Properties in the Highland of Western Ethiopia. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of different land use types and soil depth on soil's physical and chemical properties. A total of 45 composite soil samples were collected from forest, grass, eucalyptus plantation, cultivate and grazing lands using three soil depths (0-15cm, 15-30 and 30-45 cm) and three replications. Analysis of variance was used to test the mean differences in soil physicochemical properties. Sand and clay mean values were highest in grazing and forest, respectively. The mean bulk density of the soils ranged between 1.10 and 1.61gcm-3, and the mean total porosity ranged between 39.37 and 58.49%, indicating lower soil compaction. The mean field capacity ranged from 34.21 to 42.93% whereas the permanent wilting point ranged from 19.79 to 27.87% and the mean water holding capacity ranged between 14.07 and 16.21%. The mean pH ranged from 4.92 to 5.55, with mean OM values ranging from 0.64 to 5.91% while the mean values of total N ranged from 0.04 to 0.31%. The mean value of available P ranged from 2.10 to 7.26mg kg-1. Conversion of land use types harms soil properties, particularly overgrazing, eucalyptus plantation and cultivation of deforested land. Therefore, the deteriorated physiochemical properties of the soils should be amended with application different source of nutrients and sustainable management practices.
