Gender Bias and Artificial Intelligence: A Challenge within the Periphery of Human Rights
Get PDFTechnology is advancing at an exponential rate, and artificial intelligence has become a contentious issue of the day. A plethora of fields influencing human life has been impacted by artificial intelligence, whereas the development of artificial intelligence has opened Pandora’s box of legal concerns. Several international organizations, including the United Nations, have identified gender equality as an indispensable constituent of the protection of human rights. The voyage of gender equality has seen a long phase of struggle and persists. This paper aims to analyze, in what manner artificial intelligence is affecting gender equality, raising concerns on the issues regarding the role played by the United Nations in securing gender equality through conventions and resolutions, is artificial intelligence capable of posing a threat to gender equality and what measures can be implemented to secure gender equality about artificial intelligence. Â
Vertical Distribution of Total Sulfur in Coal Seams in Tamalea Village, Bonehau Regency, West Sulawesi Province
Get PDFSulfur content plays an important role in determining quality and utilization of coal. This study analyzes the total sulfur content in the coal seam, overbunden, and underburden. The aim of the study is to analyses the vertical distribution of total sulfur content in the eight samples (four coal, two overburden and two underburden samples). Coal sampling in this study is done by channel sampling with ply by ply method. The analysis of total sulfur at A and B stations show that the overburden (roof) has total sulfur of 0.20% and 0.23%, the underburden (floor) has total sulfur of 3.85% and 5.80%. The coal sample at the top ply (ply 1) has total sulfur of 0.86% and 1.30%, while the coal at the32 bottom ply (ply 2) has total sulfur of 2.27% and 4.45%. The data shows that the total sulfur content in the bottom ply (ply 2) of coal and underburden (floor) is higher than in the top ply (ply 1) of coal as well as overburden (roof). It can be concluded that the concentration of total sulfur tend to be low (decrease) from the floor (underburden) to the roof (overburden)

The method used in this study is a literature review obtained from books, journals, and articles. Realization until 2021, the Sikasep application has distributed subsidized mortgages to 2,420,105 units of users. This shows that the Sikasep application has an important role in distributing subsidized mortgages for MBR
In Vitro Doubled Haploid Production of Bacterial Blight Resistant Plants from BC2F1 Plants (Ranbir Basmati X Pau148) Through Anther Culture
Get PDFDoubled haploid plants are very important for the development of complete homozygous plants from heterozygous parents in one generation as they possess duplicate copy of haploid chromosome. Haploid production is easily obtained from in vitro anther culture. The present study was undertaken with the objective to develop doubled haploids using anthers for in vitro induction of callus on N6 medium supplemented with various combinations and concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) (0.5-2.5 mg/L), Kinetin (0.5-1.0 mg/L) and Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) (2.0 mg/L) as callus induction medium (CIM). The highest callus induction frequency was obtained when N6 medium fortified with 2,4-D (2.5 mg/L), Kinetin (0.5 mg/L) and NAA (2 mg/L) of 10.07 per cent. The induced callus was sub cultured for shoot regeneration on Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) supplemented with growth regulators: Kinetin and NAA (0.5 mg/L each) in combination with BAP (0.0 - 2.5 mg/L). MS medium supplemented with NAA (0.5 mg/L), Kinetin (0.5 mg/L) and BAP (1.5 mg/L) was most responsive exhibiting regeneration frequency of 28.1 per cent which resulted in maximum regeneration of green plantlets and only 5.21 per cent of albinos. Individual plantlets were separated and immersed in liquid MS medium augmented with NAA (0.5-1.0 mg/L) and BAP (0.5-1.0 mg/L). Maximum rooting was observed in MS medium with NAA (0.5 mg/L) and BAP (1.0 mg/L). The survival rate of in-vitro raised plants was 51.51 per cent. Of these surviving plants, 21 plants were observed to have the sterility percentage above 50 percent and hence can be considered as the doubled haploid plants. Plant DH8 is susceptible and DH20 is heterozygous for gene Xa21. Two plants are susceptible for gene xa1
Application of Cultivation Technology for Rice (Oryza sativa L. ) in Three Sectors of Rain Patterns in South Sulawesi
Get PDFThis study aimed to determine the effect of each component of cultivation technology application on the production of rice (Oryza Sativa L.) in South Sulawesi. This research was carried out in three rain-type sectors within South Sulawesi Province, namely Maros for the West Sector, Bone for the East Sector, and North Luwu for the Transitional sector. A study was conducted from December 2019 to January 2020 in the form of a survey (study literature, observation, and interviews), with the selection of samples carried out purposively to 90 respondents. Data analysis employed multiple linear regression with SPSS software. The results showed that the average rice production in Maros, Bone and North Luwu regencies, South Sulawesi, was still relatively low, Maros Regency was 7,032 kg per ha, Bone was 5,020 kg per ha and North Luwu was 6,497 kg per ha. The multiple regression equation for rice production in Maros, Bone and North Luwu Regencies, South Sulawesi is Y = 3354,185 -17,751X1 – 4,044X2 +36,839X3 . Factors from the aspect of cultivation technology application can increase rice production. Variables of cropping system, irrigation system, and fertilizer dose had a significant effect on rice production, while the variables of varieties and harvest time did not have a significant effect on rice production
Legal Cooperation in the ASEAN Maritime Environment in the Free Trade Era: Its Implication for Indonesia
Get PDFFor the past 30 years, an estimated 50 percent of the coral reef population has declined as a result of overfishing, pollution, coastal development, and climate change. Such decline risks jeopardizing livelihoods and the capacity for disaster risk reduction, as well as endangering marine biodiversity. With the emergence of free trade and the high mobility of modern ships, trade goods all over the world are increasingly affected by marine pollution. Since 1992, at least 600,000 tons of oil have entered the oceans each year, primarily from normal shipping operations, accidents, and illegal discharges, which contribute to more pollution than does offshore oil and gas exploitation. Recognizing the differentiation of circumstances in each maritime area, current international law, including that in Southeast Asia, regulates the framework of marine environment protection in cooperation with other states and other international organizations. Unfortunately, because the Association of Southeast Asian Nations framework does wield binding power, its declarations have yet to create significant improvements to the region’s marine environment. This paper discusses the urgency to create a new binding regulation within Association of Southeast Asian Nations that would obligate its Member States to actively protect the region’s marine environment

The combined aggregate was successfully designed within the required standard specification range (General Road Works Specifications by DGH in 2010). At an MBA content of 5.7 and 6.1%, the PCC and MBA showed a positive contribution to the binding of aggregates so that the mixture meet the satisfactory performance of asphalt mixtures in terms of volumetric properties, which include VIM, Voids in Mineral Aggregate (VMA) and VFB
Changing Pastoralism and Pastoral Livelihoods Under Climate Change in Northwestern China
Get PDFThe livelihood of pastoralists is strongly influenced and partially determined by regulatory grazing limitations and global climate change. It was assumed that the challenges associated with the latter factor would invariably obligate and motivate herders to practice sustainable animal husbandry. However, the former factor also incentivizing adaptive changes in the agricultural practices of herders and pastoralists as well. The present study investigated changes in the management practices that rural pastoralists have made to ensure the sustainable maintenance of their livelihood in the face of strict public policy and climate risks. Surveys were conducted in two pastoral counties of northwestern China in a region subjected to frequent annual drought events and low wintertime temperatures. This region has already undergone numerous institutional changes within the last few decades. The results of the field research indicated that farmers in both counties have modified their livelihood patterns and nomadic practices in response to regulatory and climate change. Five new adaptive livelihood patterns were identified among the agricultural workers in the study area. The novel adaptive farming practices assumed by herders were intended to cope with the tension between the requirement for environmental protection and the need for socioeconomic development. The specificity of this research helps clarify how local communities change their livelihood patterns in response to ecosystem degradation and policy modifications resulting from climate change, and enrich the understanding of the actions for dealing with climate change under the individual perspective
FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY AND DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS ON WELFARE ANALYSIS
Get PDFFinancial technology is very useful in facilitating financial transactions worldwide. It was created to make getting funds and managing finances easier, which can improve people’s welfare. However, it also poses a threat in the form of loans from financial technology lending companies that are not licensed and illegally operate so that customers can be bound by huge interest rates and terrorized by debt collectors. Therefore, this study aims to analyze literacy about financial technology and demographic factors that affect welfare. The analysis results show that most respondents are still ignorant or do not understand the benefits of fin-tech for improving their welfare, and the respondents’ welfare is only affected by age. Although 92% of respondents have savings, these savings do not use fin-tech. Fin-tech is still seen as something that plunges like a shark loan trap, so most respondents still avoid fin-tech for their financial management. Respondents still do not use fin-tech optimally and urgently need education and socialization related to fin-tech
