No full textSkripsi yang berjudul “Mahbub Djunaidi: Aktivis Politik Nadlatul’ Ulama (1960-1987)” ini bertujuan menggambarkan bagaimana pemikiran demokrasi politik ala Mahbub Djunaidi. Penelitian ini menjawab bagaimana riwayat karir dan pemikiran politik Mahbub Djunaidi. Skripsi ini menggunakan metode penelitian sejarah. Sumber penelitian terbagi menjadi sumber primer dan sumber sekunder. Sumber primer penelitian ini adalah arsip yang diterbitkan langsung oleh PBNU dan PMII. Selain itu, sumber penelitian ini juga berasal dari wawancara terhadap Isfandiari MD dan Chatibul Umam. Sementara itu, sumber sekunder penelitian ini berasal dari buku-buku, artikel, dan dokumen-dokumen yang berkaitan dengan

Meanwhile, the secondary source of this study come from books, articles, and related documents to this topics studied.
This study shows that Mahbub Djunaidi actualized his political thoughts through PMII, PPP, and NU. The khittah plus which was initiated by Mahbub in 1987 is an important monument of Mahbub Djunaidi’s thoughts on democracy, the author referes to the values of Pancasila Democracy as the result of the NU’s Congress in 1967 which was actualize through practical political activities
The impact of national culture on the organizational culture: Multinational companies doing businesses in developing countries
No full textAbstract Title: The impact of national culture on the organizational culture: Multinational companies doing businesses in developing countries Level: Final assignment for Master Degree in Business Administration (MBA) Author: Md. Mahbub Alam Supervisor: Dr. Ehsanul Huda Chowdhury Examiner: Dr. Maria Fregidou-Malama Day: 2017- May Aim: The aim of the study is to understand how national culture of Bangladesh is affecting the organizational culture of the multinational firms operating in Bangladesh. To understand the issue, Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions are regarded as benchmark for analysis. Method: Qualitative study has been conducted whereby both primary and secondary data are used. Hereby, primary data have been gathered from ten employees of Grameen Phone a multinational working in Bangladesh. To collect data, face to face interviews has been conducted using Skype. Results & Conclusions: Finding of the study is the MNCs integration with national culture with the view to sustainable business operation. It has been demonstrated that national culture affects the organizational culture in the form of employee participation, collective working environment, collaborative work efforts, and knowledge sharing through continuous communication. Suggestions for future research: Further investigations on national culture’s impact on organizational culture can be undertaken by making a comparison between MNC and a purely local firm. Additionally, an analysis on a large number of MNCs operating in host country can add value for further researches. Contribution of the thesis: To the theoretical model, this study makes contribution on the ground of understanding how MNC adapt their business with local culture where cultural sensitiveness is high. Managerial implications: MNCs can ensure collaboration, support, and teamwork among employees as part of their attempt to integrate with local culture. This study reveals that local employees can be used as means of cultural carriers by managers which can promptly address the cultural differences to be mitigated.

The Rohingya: an ethnography of 'Subhuman' life
No full textBased on classical ethnographic research, Nasir Uddin, a cultural anthropologist and Professor of Anthropology at the University of Chittagong, Bangladesh, has articulated the grievances, austere misery, and extreme vulnerabilities of Rohingyas, who have left homelands in Myanmar, under the compulsion of life-threatening situations, and are currently dwelling in Bangladesh as refugees. The author also engages in a debate on the body of knowledge about stateless people, non-citizens, asylum seekers, camp people, forced migrants, and refugees, who have previously been theorised using terms such as 'bare life', 'rejected people', 'non-citizens', 'statelessness', and whose 'citizenship is [the] right to have rights', and so on (p. 3)
Recognizing Hand Gestures using Solar Cells
No full textWe design a system, SolarGest, which can recognize hand gestures near a solar-powered device by analyzing the patterns of the photocurrent. SolarGest is based on the observation that each gesture interferes with incident light rays on the solar panel in a unique way, leaving its discernible signature in harvested photocurrent. Using solar energy harvesting laws, we develop a model to optimize design and usage of SolarGest. To further improve the robustness of SolarGest under non-deterministic operating conditions, we combine dynamic time warping with Z-score transformation in a signal processing pipeline to pre-process each gesture waveform before it is analyzed for classification. We evaluate SolarGest with both conventional opaque solar cells as well as emerging see-through transparent cells. Our experiments demonstrate that SolarGest achieves 99% for six gestures with a single cell and 95% for fifteen gesture with a 2 × 2 solar cell array. The power measuement study suggests that SolarGest consume 44% less power compared to light sensor based systems.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Embedded System
Subsurface drip irrigation for alfalfa in Kansas
No full textPresented at the Central Plains irrigation short course and exposition on February 5-6, 2001 at the Holiday Inn in Kearney, Nebraska.The result from a two year field study on suitability of using subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) for Alfalfa provided some answers to alfalfa producers of Kansas. The study was set-up in a producer field for demonstration. The soil belongs to Otero-Ulysses complex and sandy loam in texture. The treatments included placement of drip tapes at (a) 1.5 M spacing at 0.46 and 0.30 M depth of placement, (b) 1.0 M spacing at 0.46 and 0.30 M depth, (c) 0.76 M spacing at 0.46 depth, and (d) a center pivot sprinkler irrigated plot seeded to alfalfa. Emergence of seedlings was adversely affected at 1.5 M spacing of drip tapes showing 'striping'. The total yield was reduced for spacing of drip tapes at 1.5 M in both 1999 and 2000. The depth of placement of the drip tapes (0.46 and 0.30 meters) showed no effect on yields

Land application of animal waste on irrigated fields
No full textPresented at the 2006 Central Plains irrigation conference on February 21-22 in Colby, Kansas.Animal wastes are routinely applied to cropland to recycle nutrients, build soil quality, and increase crop productivity. This study evaluates established best management practices for land application of animal wastes on irrigated corn. Swine (effluent water from a lagoon) and cattle (solid manure from a beef feedlot) wastes have been applied annually since 1999 at rates to meet estimated corn P or N requirements along with a rate double the N (2xN) requirement. Other treatments were N fertilizer (60, 120, and 180 lb N/a) and an untreated control. Corn yields were increased by application of animal wastes and N fertilizer. Over-application of cattle manure has not had a negative effect on corn yield. For swine effluent, over-application has not reduced corn yields except for 2004, when the effluent had much greater salt concentration than in previous years, which caused reduced germination and poor early growth. All animal waste and N fertilizer treatments increased soil solution NO3-N concentration (5-ft depth) compared with the untreated control. Application of animal wastes on a N requirement basis resulted in similar NO3-N concentrations as fertilizer N applied at 180 lb/a (approximate recommended rate). The 2xN application caused NO3- N concentrations to about double for both swine and cattle wastes. Application of swine effluent based on P requirement produced similar NO3-N concentrations as the 2xN rate because of the relatively low P content in the effluent
