Planetary stewardship in an urbanizing world: beyond city limits
No full textCities are rapidly increasing in importance as a major factor shaping the Earth system, and as such must take corresponding responsibility. With currently over half of the world population, cities are supported by resources originating from primarily rural regions that are often located around the world far distant from the urban loci of use. The multiple and complex environmental and social challenges the world faces require interconnected solutions and a coordinated governance approach to planetary stewardship. There is a new opportunity to conceptualize a key component of planetary stewardship as a global system of cities that develop sustainable processes and policies in concert with its non-urban areas. The potential for cities to cooperate as a system and with rural connectivity could not only increase their capacity to effect change and foster stewardship at the planetary scale but also increase their resource security
“What do experts say?” Visual complexity and community acceptance of Pua Kumbu / Wan Juliana Emeih Wahed, Saiful Bahari Mohd Yusoff and Noorhayati Saad
No full textThis chapter highlights the aesthetic perceptions of academicians regarding the complexity of Pua Kumbu design motifs and the community acceptance of this tangible heritage. The complexity of the symbols presented in the design motifs contributes to the current lack of interest in this art form, especially among the young generation, tourists and other races in Sarawak. The complexity of the symbols has also led to these motifs being further misunderstood, as well as the mistreatment and misuse of this majestic art form. Therefore, this research used a qualitative approach to explore the perspectives of four academicians in the fields of textiles, art and culture. In-depth interviews with semi-structured questions were conducted, as was observation and analysis of the relevant documents. According to the findings, weavers are the masterminds behind the visual complexity of Pua Kumbu, which reveal Iban knowledge through the design motifs. In conclusion, prior knowledge of Iban culture can broaden the community acceptance of this art form, minimise the knowledge gap and prevent these masterpieces from being forgotten and neglected
Islamic Economics: A Survey of the Literature
No full textA central thesis of this paper is that social science is the study of human experience, and hence strongly conditioned by history. Modern Western political, economic and social structures have emerged as a consequence of the repudiation of religion, and are based on secular principles. Many of these are inimical to Islamic principles, and cannot be adapted to an Islamic society. Muslim societies achieved freedom from colonial rule in the first half of the twentieth century and sought to construct institutions in conformity with Islam. The development of Islamic economics is part of this process of transition away from Western colonial institutions. This paper focuses on the contrasts between Western economic theories and Islamic approaches to organization of economic affairs. Neoclassical theory is centered around the acquisitive instinct of humans, and makes competition the driving force of economic analysis. Islamic approaches foster cooperation and encourage generosity as the fundamental principle for handling economic affairs. Human beings have potential for good and evil, and are free to choose between the two; their behavior is not subject to mathematical laws postulated by neoclassical economic theory. The main message of Islam is that we must strive to achieve the potential for good both at the individual and at the social level. Behavior in the economic realm is also governed by this goal. Islamic law (Shari’ah) provides the framework for all activity within an Islamic society. In the economic domain, Islamic law regulates both methods by which money may be earned and also the ways it may be spent. Acquisition of wealth is permissible only in ways which are just to all parties concerned; exploitation, arbitrary taxation, and individual profit resulting in social harm is not permissible in Islamic law. This puts numerous restrictions on business practices utilized to make profits. For example, polluting the environment, or selling products which lead to moral corruption would not be permissible in Islamic law. Wealth which has been acquired becomes private property, which is both a trust and a test according to Islamic concepts. The “trust” aspect means that property must be used in ways beneficial to the individual and society. The “test” aspect means that those who have more than they need should take care of those who are in need. Ways in which acquired wealth can be spent is also subject to Islamic law. People are expected to strive to be self-sufficient and not ask from others. Thus striving to acquire wealth and spending it on personal and family needs is encouraged by Islamic law. Islam does not preach austerity and encourages a comfortable standard of living. At the same time, it strongly discourages spending on idle desires, luxuries, and ostentation. There is also a strong encouragement to spend what is beyond ones needs on social welfare. These fundamental principles for acquiring wealth, using property (acquired wealth), and spending it impact on all realms of economic activity. Since these are substantially different from Western ideas in all three areas, there are substantial contrasts between Western economic institutions and Islamic ones. The paper traces out these differences in many realms of economic activity. The primary objective of an Islamic state is to provide justice, and Islamic public finance is concerned with tracing the concrete implications of this abstraction in the economic realm. Western financial institutions have the acquisition and multiplication of wealth as their prime objective. Since acquisition of wealth can only be a means to an end, these institutions require modification in an Islamic society. Similarly, Islamic imperatives for social welfare require construction of certain uniquely Islamic types of institutions which do not have counterparts in the West. The paper discusses these issues in some detail.Islamic Economics, Neoclassical Economics
Studi On Big Data Analytics Framework in Smart City Context
No full textThe issue of global urbanization, which is a separate problem faced by the government, is the very rapid growth of population density in cities. To face this challenge, the government launched a smart city project by targeting sustainable economic growth and improving the quality of life. Information and Communication Technology governance is the key to realizing a smart city. However, each of these I.C.T. tools produce large amounts of data known as Big Data. Data processing with the Big Data approach is becoming a trend in information systems to provide better public services and provide references in the policy-making process. However, to obtain important information in the scope of big data, a Big Data Analytics process is needed, also known as Big Data Value Chain. Extracting knowledge from the related literature can identify the characteristics of the big data analytic framework for smart cities. This paper reviews several big data analytic frameworks applied to smart cities. This paper is to find the advantages and disadvantages of each framework so that it can be a direction for future researc
Perancangan Antena Radio HF NVIS pada frekuensi 10 MHz menggunakan Aplikasi MMANA
No full textAbstrak: Jaringan tanpa kabel (Nirkabel) atau sering dikenal dengan WI-FI ini berkembang sangat pesat dengan memanfaatkan daya jangkau sinyal yang besar dalam ruangan, ataupun luar ruangan dengan jangkuan yang sangat jauh. Komunikasi radio HF Near Vertical Incident Skywave (NVIS) mampu mengatasi skip zone sehingga tidak mempengaruhi kwalitas pancaran, apakah padang rumput, hutan lebat, lereng gunung dan sebagainnya. NVIS adalah pemantulan satu kali oleh lapisan F/F2 ionosfer, dengan pancaran (sinyal) radio untuk komunikasi HF dengan memancarkan sudut pancaran yang nyaris tegak lurus (Near Vertical) ke atas mendekati 90 º.[1]. MMANA adalah software untuk mensimulasi antenna yang dibuat oleh JE3HHT - Makoto Mori, DL1PBD - Alex Schewelew & DL2KQ – Igor Gontcharenko. Program software MMANA-Antenna Analyzer pertama kali diciptakan oleh Macoto Mori – JE3HHT, seorang amatir radio dari Jepang (10 Januari 1999). Kemudian dikembangkan oleh Alex Schewelew (DL1PBD) dan Igor Gontcharenko (DL2KQ) keduanya amatir radio dari German.[3] Menggunakan software MMANA kita dapat menghitung secara tepat berapa ukuran antenna yang harus kita bangun untuk bekerja pada frekuensi tertentu yang match dan baik. Hasil yang di harapkan dari penelitian ini adalah simulasi perancangan antena radio HF NVIS dapat dipakai untuk komunikasi jarak dekat yag terlewati (Skipzone) dan mmapu digunakan di daerah yang sulit dijangkau sinyal.Kata kunci: Frekuensi 10 MHz, Anlisis aplikasi MMANA, Radio HF NVISAbstract: Wireless network (Wireless), often known as WI-FI, is overgrowing by utilizing a large signal coverage indoors or outdoors with a very far reach. HF Near Vertical Incident Skywave (NVIS) radio communication can overcome the skip zone so that it does not affect the quality of the beam, whether it is grasslands, dense forests, mountain slopes, and so on. NVIS is a one-time reflection by the ionospheric F/F2 layer, with a radio beam (signal) for HF communication by emitting a near vertical beam angle upward approaching 90 º. MMANA is a software for simulating antennas created by JE3HHT - Makoto Mori, DL1PBD - Alex Schewelew & DL2KQ – Igor Gontcharenko. Macoto Mori first started the MMANA-Antenna Analyzer software program – JE3HHT, a radio amateur from Japan (10 January 1999). It was later developed by Alex Schewelew (DL1PBD) and Igor Gontcharenko (DL2KQ), both radio amateurs from Germany. Using MMANA software, we can calculate precisely how much antenna size we have to build to work at a specific frequency that matches and is good. The expected result of this research is a simulation of the design of an HF NVIS radio antenna that can be used for short-range communication that is skipped (Skipzone) and used in areas that are difficult to reach signals.Keywords: Frequency 10 MHz, MMANA application analysis, HF NVIS Radi
