    The project chosen by the author is a terminal facility which is located at Pinang Baris Terminal. The Pinang Baris Terminal serves public transport vehicles with a route west to the Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD) Region. The problems found were unified vehicle circulation, less strategic departure and arrival areas, and a lack of a number of standard facilities not found at the Pinang Baris Bus Terminal, such as the absence of a health post, bus maintenance and washing areas and the absence of barriers between vehicle traffic and passengers. Other facilities required by the regulations are available, although not all of them function properly, many of the facilities are damaged or unused, such as waiting rooms which are rarely used by passengers while waiting for the bus. On this project which is the scope of the design consists of designing the terminal in accordance with the regulations, laws and provisions of the Government, redesigning the Pinang Baris Terminal according to the predetermined land area, and expanding the terminal. In designing this project, the authors apply and follow the laws and regulations regarding terminals in design, so that the Pinang Baris Integrated Terminal can become a terminal that complies with terminal standards. With this application to the project, it is hoped that the author will be able to produce design solutions that can provide comfort for users and make the Pinang Baris Integrated Terminal a standard-compliant terminal108 HalamanSkripsi Sarjan

    Value Chains and WTO Disputes: Compliance at the dispute settlement mechanism

    No full text
    As economic populism and protectionism increasingly threatens the global trade order, this book examines the behavior of World Trade Organization (WTO) members at the judicial arm of the WTO—the dispute settlement mechanism (DSM). The author explores why and when governments cooperate at the WTO and comply with the ruling of its panels, focusing on how the growth of global value chains through the internationalization of trade and production has increased the importance of both trade liberalization and supra-national governance and policy-making. Finding that domestic organized interests—i.e. firms and sectors—mobilize and lobby national governments to change their domestic policies to better harmonize with their international trade commitments, the author outlines how the time it takes to comply with adverse WTO rulings is shorter when the potential domestic costs of non-compliance outweigh protectionist interests. The author’s innovative research design highlights the conditions under which the WTO can preserve the rules of international trade and support a more open, global economy

    The poverty rate currently experienced a decrease although not significant through a variety of programs designed in such a way. The program not only can be given or actuated by the government, but also by the community itself through non-governmental organizations (NGO) .One of the proper way to reduce the poverty rate is not through the provision of assistance only to meet the needs, but through the community capacity development .The notion of alternative development program in accordance with community in Indonesia is credit union which have been introduced in Indonesia since the year 1958 . This research using a descriptive qualitative studies, The role of the Foundation's Center for Study and Child’s Protection (PKPA) in enhancing Selfreliance Community Through Credit Union located in Pinang Baris Subdistrict Medan Sunggal. Data on the research done by committing to interviews and observation; 5 informant consisting of four informant of CU Sumber Rejeki’s Member and 1 informant was PKPA’s staf. Based on the results of the data analysis, the authors concluded that PKPA role in promoting community self-reliance through CU Rejeki Pinang Baris very much up and running well, particularly through economic assistance, savings and loans providers an easy and training activities that have been planned. This is evident from the answers of the informants posed by the author.115 HalamanSkripsi Sarjan

    Unified and Multilingual Author Profiling for Detecting Haters

    No full text
    [EN] This paper presents a unified user profiling framework to identify hate speech spreaders by processing their tweets regardless of the language. The framework encodes the tweets with sentence transformers and applies an attention mechanism to select important tweets for learning user profiles. Furthermore, the attention layer helps to explain why a user is a hate speech spreader by producing attention weights at both token and post level. Our proposed model outperformed the state-of-the-art multilingual transformer models.Schlicht, IB.; Magnossao De Paula, AF. (2021). Unified and Multilingual Author Profiling for Detecting Haters.

    Development and Comparison of Innovative Lightweight Design Concepts for Local FRP Reinforcements of Automotive Parts by CAE

    No full text
    Fiber reinforced plastics (FRPs) offer great potential for weight critical applications. Their specific properties make them attractive substitutes for metals which are currently the most commonly used material in the automotive industry. Despite their advantages, their use in primary structures inside a car is still limited due to a number of factors, of which cost is the most important one. For this project, the use of FRPs as local reinforcements in semi-structural applications is investigated. The main content of the project will consist in analysing 3 different FRP design concepts with the use of Finite Element Modelling (FEM). The main objective is then to determine which design concept is best suited for the reinforcement based on a number of criteria which are defined inside the project. The main findings will consist on having one of the design concepts meeting the requirements for the reinforcement application or to prove that no design concept can be used. The integration of FRPs inside a car offer great benefits in terms of being environmentally friendly in a world where car pollution is a major problem in some countries. At the moment, the application of FRPs is only limited to small non-critical areas but once that barrier is crossed, a more extensive use in cars can be investigated.<br/

    New Data Sources in Road Infrastructure Management: A game-based experiment into the effects of new data sources on condition assessment and decision-making within the operations and maintenance phase of asphalt paved road infrastructures

    Professionals in the Operations and Maintenance phase of national road infrastructure projects are making decisions with large consequences based on low frequency measurements and subjectivity prone expert observations. A solution is expected in sensor innovations, IoT and User Generated Data to generate more frequent measurements and less subjective observations. The use of these methods has been researched and proven, however the main focus of these studies was often improvement of the technological capabilities or implementation in current practises with limited research into their contribution and effects on professionals in the construction sector. This research describes an experiment that tested the effects of more data and more diverse data on the decision-making of professionals in the construction industry. An attempt to answer this question is made by modelling different data sources into a Serious Game and testing the assumptions. After analysis of the gaming data, the questionnaires and the debriefing it can be concluded that in this experiment there was a correlation between better assessments and higher scores. However experts did not assess damage differently when presented with extra information, nor did they make significantly different decisions. From the qualitative section of the experiment the explanation was found that the extra information proved too much and experts were able to extrapolate with the marginal data that represents the current industry practise. This suggests that new information requires training, as our built environment gets richer in terms of data, the assessment of this built environment becomes too much for humans to cope with and solutions can be sought in the application smart algorithms, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence

    The Future of The Metaverse: Creating Policies and Regulations for a Metaverse Built on a Blockchain

    The Metaverse, although not a new concept, has had many developments recently. One of the core contributions for this is the current developments around blockchain technology and non-fungible tokens. Although it might be possible to create a metaverse on the blockchain, it would also be possible to create it on traditional technology, namely cloud computing. Regardless of the technology it will be built on, the space is expected to grow rapidly within the next few years, but still does not have any regulations attached to it within the EU. This thesis therefore looked into both technologies and compared them on 7 metrics: energy usage, security, scalability, governance, democratization, costs, and additional features. It was found that cloud computers are much more scalable and cost effective, while blockchain has more benefits when it comes to governance, democratization and additional features. Interviews were conducted with experts on blockchain, cloud computing, and policy advisors/strategist to investigate the most critical parts that must be regulated. The interviewee results showed that data privacy, IP rights, and governance &amp; legal documentation were most important. Regulations and policies were then formulated with the help of the qualitative data obtained from the interviewees. These interviews yielded valuable solutions for the potential regulations, which the EU can use andMaster ThesisEngineering and Policy Analysi
