Dikir Pahang / Mohamed Sahar Adam
Get PDFDi negeri Pahang, Dikir Pahang ini dikenali dengan nama Dikir Rebana. Ia merupakan sejenis permainan muzik tradisional Melayu Pahang, yang popular di kalangan masyarakat Melayu yang tinggal di sepanjang Sungai Pahang, pada suatu masa dahulu. Sekarang ini ia kebanyakannya dimainkan oleh golongan tua. Dikir Pahang merupakan satu persembahan etnik dan ‘folk’ secara nyanyian dan muzik istiadatan, yang mempunyai unsur-unsur tradisi lisan. Tradisi lisan di sini bermaksud cara persembahannya yang diperturunkan dari satu generasi ke generasi, senimansenimannya adalah seniman rakyat dan persembahan Dikir Pahang itu sendiri telah menjadi popular di kalangan rakyat. Di samping itu pula persembahannya bersifat non-komersial. Disebabkan ciri-ciri inilah penulis cuba meletakkan persembahan Dikir Pahang ini sebagai satu daripada seni tradisional yang menjadi hak milik masyarakat Melayu
A spatial econometric approach to examine the determinants of residential land prices and housing affordability: the case of Khartoum, Sudan
No full textA research report submitted to the Faculty of Engineering and The Built Environment, University of the Witwatersrand, to fulfill the requirements for the degree of Master of Urban Studies in the field of Urban Management, 2021Housing affordability is one of the most pressing issues of urban development globally, and especially in developing countries. In Sudan, the housing provision system falls in between, land legislation and regulations, socio-economic structure of the society, and the state and private housing finance. This system produced a housing provision tiers based on income groups, high-income (first class), medium-income (second class), and low-income (third class) with land size and construction codes to suit the income levels. On one side, the literature suggests that basic housing is unaffordable for most Sudanese due to high construction costs. On the other side land value further increases the housing cost. The research examined the spatial determinants of residential land prices and the housing affordability index of 18 neighborhoods in Khartoum to explore their effect on Khartoum’s physical expansion. To examine the spatial determinants, generally the research employs the Ordinary Least Squares [OLS], a non-spatial global model, and the Geographically Weighted Regression [GWR] spatial regression method for drawing spatial variations across the study area. The main research finding support the literature that suggest a medium-income household cannot afford their designated medium-income housing class, but they can afford the low-income housing class due to insufficient income. The OLS model explained 83% of the variation in residential land prices and 71% of the variations in housing affordability. The GWR on average explained 86% of residential land prices, and explained 90% of the neighborhood’s housing affordability variation. However, the visual interpolation of the housing affordability suggest that a medium-income household have to meet their housing need on the periphery of Khartoum city, which create sprawling effect. The regression models indicate that plot prices can be explained depending on the explanatory variables; two models emerged with distance to secondary roads and average distance to the Central Business District [CBD] as mutual variables between both models, and average length of the plot’s façade in the first model, while the average distance to police stations in the second model. Housing affordability is determined by the neighborhood class, distance from schools, hospitals, and the CBD. GWR models for plot prices and housing affordability have explained spatial variations by indicating the explanatory variables’ weights on the plot prices and the affordability index. This research illustrates the dynamic and interconnected factors that influence land value and housing affordability, the indirect impact of urban planning on distribution of amenities and subsequently land value and housing preferences, how income can influence locational preference of housing and therefore the impact on the physical expansion of the city. The research also elaborate on the interdisciplinary nature of urban studies and how spatial analysis can complement quantitative urban studiesCK202
Improving Performance in Combinatorial Optimisation Using Averaging and Clustering
Get PDFIn a recent paper an algorithm for solving MAX-SAT was proposed which worked by clustering good solutions and restarting the search from the closest feasible solutions. This was shown to be an extremely effective search strategy, substantially out-performing traditional optimisation techniques. In this paper we extend those ideas to a second classic NP-Hard problem, namely Vertex Cover. Again the algorithm appears to provide an advantage over more established search algorithms, although it shows different characteristics to MAX-SAT. We argue this is due to the different large-scale landscape structure of the two problems
Learning the large-scale structure of the max-sat landscape using populations
Get PDFA new algorithm for solving MAX-SAT problems is introduced which clusters good solutions, and restarts the search from the closest feasible solution to the centroid of each cluster. This is shown to be highly efficient for finding good solutions of large MAX-SAT problems. We argue that this success is due to the population learning the large-scale structure of the fitness landscape. Systematic studies of the landscape are presented to support this hypothesis. In addition, a number of other strategies are tested to rule out other possible explanations of the success. Preliminary results are shown indicating that extensions of the proposed algorithm can give similar improvements on other hard optimisation problems
