Adoption and diffusion of no tillage practices in Southern Spain olive groves
Get PDFThis paper analyses the process of adoption of no tillage in South-eastern Spain’s olive groves. Olive tree groves in South-eastern Spain’s mountainous areas are subject to a high risk of soil erosion, which is the main environmental problem for this crop, and have to incur in high costs of soil conservation. This results in a greater difficulty to comply with the practices required to benefit from both the single payment and agri-environmental schemes. In many high-steeped areas, farmers have opted for non-tillage practices as an alternative to other conservation practices. Using our own data from a survey carried out in 2006 among 215 olive tree farmers from the Granada Province in Southern Spain regarding the adoption of soil conservation and management practices, we model the diffusion process of no tillage practices using several specifications (logistic, Gompertz and exponential). We also estimate an ordered probit model to analyse which socio-economic and institutional factors determine the adoption of no tillage. Our results show that 90% of farmers in the area of study perform no tillage with either localized (21%) or no localized (69%) application of weedicides. The diffusion process of no tillage has been very intense since the middle nineties, and has been based on the interactions among farmers in the area of study rather than in external factors such as EU policies or extension services. Among other relevant factors that positively affect the adoption of no tillage practices in general, such as farm size and irrigation, the probability of a farmer adopting no tillage with non-localized application of weedicides increases when there is a relative that will continue with the farming activity, what causes the farmer to incorporate long term effects in his farming decisions, when the farmer is only a manager or when he bought the farm rather than inherited it (i.e. on more professionalized farms), and with his educational level. These results confirm some findings from previous studies in other nearby areas.Spanish olive groves, soil erosion, no tillage, Crop Production/Industries, Land Economics/Use,
IMPLEMENTASI KIRI ISLAM HASAN HANAFI TERHADAP PENDIDIKAN PESANTREN DI INDONESIA
Get PDFThis research aims to find out the implementation of the Islamic Left movement in Pesantren education in Indonesia, in order to develop scientific knowledge and to restore the treasures of Islam. This research uses a leatherative method of literature review or literature review with narrative analysis obtained from various sources of books or research journals that are in accordance with the research domain. Pesantren as an example of Islamic education in Indonesia. Pesantren education has a long history, has a culture that prioritizes Islamic values, the education methods applied, and as a medium for da'wah. Pesantren in this modern era is not only focused on cultural education, but also penetrates into science, technology, and economic education. The progress of Pesantren today is in accordance with the vision of leftist Islam Hasan Hanafi who prioritizes scientific renewal which is not only focused on traditional science studies but also examines the science that exists in Indonesia and continues to run formal education provided by the government or the Pesantren itself. Currently, Muslims are experiencing a setback in science and technology where Muslims only enjoy technological products made by Western society. This certainly provides a challenge to Pesantren in this modern era while still prioritizing eastern culture. The need for the implementation of the Islamic Left in education in Pesantren with the presence of education related to IT or science that harmonizes with the Qur'an to develop the curriculum, so that it can enrich the Islamic treasures.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui implementasi gerakan Kiri Islam dalam pendidikan Pesantren yang ada di Indonesia, guna mengembangkan ilmu pengetahuan sains serta untuk mengembalikan khazanah Islam. Penelitian ini menggunakan kajian pustaka atau kajian literarur dengan analisis naratif yang didapatkan dari berbagai sumber buku ataupun jurnal penelitian yang sesuai dengan ranah penelitian. Pesantren sebagai contoh pendidikan Islam yang ada di Indonesia.. Pendidikan Pesantren mempunyai sejarah yang panjang, mempunyai kultur yang mengedepankan nilai keislaman, metode Pendidikan yang diterapkan, serta sebagai media dakwah. Pesantren di era modern ini tidak hanya terfokus pada pendidikan yang kultural saja, tapi merambah ke pendidikan sains, teknologi, serta ekonomi. Kemajuan Pesantren saat ini sesuai dengan visi kiri islam Hasan Hanafi yang mengedepankan pembaruan ilmu pengetahuan yang tidak hanya terfokus pada kajian ilmu tradisonal saja tetapi Pesantren juga mengkaji keilmuman yang eksis di Indonesia dan tetap menjalankan pendidikan formal yang disediakan oleh pemerintah ataupun pihak Persantren sendiri. Umat Islam saat ini mengalami kemunduran dalam ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi, umat Islam hanya menikmati produk teknologi yang dibuat oleh masyarakat barat. Hal tersebut tentu memberikan tantangan terhadap Pesantren di era modern ini dengan tetap mengedepankan kultur ketimuran. Perlunya adanya implementasi kiri islam pada pendidikan Pesantren dengan diadanya pendidikan berkaitan dengan IT ataupun sains yang menyelaraskan dengan al-qur’an mengembangkan kurikulum, sehingga dapat memperkaya khazanah keislaman
Framing gender intersections in the European Union: What implications for the quality of intersectionality in policies?
No full textThis article explores the extent to which the emergence of an antidiscrimination policy in the European Union (EU) implies a shift in EU gender equality policies towards an intersectional approach. The frame analysis of EU gender equality policy documents shows that intersectional dimensions are increasingly present but they are treated implicitly and from a separate perspective, and the inclusion of a wide range of inequalities often implies a degendering of the policy content. We assess the implications of the identified intersectionality trends for the quality of intersectionality in gender equality policies, and we suggest the practice of an "intersectionality impact assessment" as a way to improve the quality of EU policy-making. © 2011 The Author

PEMAHAMAN YANG BIAS GENDER
No full textUnderstanding verses and hadiths that gender bias, often used as a legitimation for inequality relationships women and men. Forexample, the interpretation of the word nafs wahidah that could be interpreted as Adam or also of the same material with Adam. However, the important thing is, that it does not mean there are more superior than others. Understanding verses and hadiths that gender bias is also found in understanding the hadith about the creation of woman from the rib. The creation of woman from the rib here is not in the true meaning, but often harfiyah interpreted giving rise to the perception that women in Islam is a second being. This understanding arises because of an incomplete understanding of the meaning of the verse and the hadith, and also due to the only partial understanding
Protecting the historic buildings of Mexico: the barrel vault of San Agustin Church in Morelia
Get PDFHeritage in Mexico is endangered due to exposure to major hazard events and lack of maintenance. The level of knowledge
necessary to evaluate structural behavior of historic buildings is generally low, mainly regarding the parameters such as mechanical properties. San Agustin church is one of the most important historical buildings in Morelia City, Mexico. Thus, a comprehensive analysis of the San
Agustin church was performed, including a damage survey and dynamic identification tests. Based on the diagnosis, a 3D finite element
model with solid elements was developed and calibrated. Then, a seismic assessment was carried out using pushover analysis. The findings
about the damage obtained from the numerical analysis is consistent with the actual condition of the church. Finally, a partial model was
developed to evaluate the performance of the nave barrel vault strengthened with an extrados masonry arch and a layer of carbon fabricreinforced cementitious matrix, an intervention that substantially increased the horizontal load capacity.The authors would like to acknowledge Dr. Carlos Eduardo Mendoza Rosales and Dr. Jose Cabrera Aceves for the architectural data provided for the development of this work, and Eng. Rodolfo Gaytan for support during dynamic identification testing. Finally, the first author would like to thank the CONACyT grant
