Product Market Fit Material Serat Rami Sebagai Elemen Material Berkelanjutan Pada Penerapan Desain Furniture
No full textThe proliferation of research and applications of sustainable materials within society has seen a notable increase, leading to constant updates in product segments featuring sustainable materials. This trend is further supported by the growing awareness among the public regarding environmental degradation. Ramie fiber is one such sustainable material serving as an alternative to the dependence on cotton materials in the textile industry. Collaborating with Armonie Ronche from Universitas Padjajaran, the author undertook a series of processes to implement ramie fiber in a furniture product, emphasizing the creation of products with good market value. Over a period of four months, the development process resulted in a living room set where a combination of hemp fiber and teak wood served as the primary elements in the design, globally marketable, and modern Jengki-style furniture.Maraknya riset dan aplikasi material berkelanjutan yang digunakan oleh masyarakat semakin tinggi yang terlihat selalu muncul pembaruan pada segmen produk dengan material berkelanjutan. Hal ini juga didukung oleh tingkat kesadaran masyarakat akan kerusakan yang terjadi pada lingkungan sekitar. Serat rami merupakan salah satu material berkelanjutan sebagai alternatif dari ketergantungan penggunaan material kapas yang ada pada industri tekstil. Bekerjasama dengan Armonie Ronche dari Universitas Padjajaran penulis melakukan serangkaian proses pengimplementasian serat rami pada sebuah produk furniture dengan mengedepankan produk yang memiliki nilai jual yang baik di masyarakat. Selama empat bulan proses pengembangan didapatkan sebuah set ruang keluarga dimana padu padan antara material rami dengan material jati sebagai elemen utama dalam perancangan mebel bergaya modern jengki yang siap dipasarkan secara global
The politics of heterodoxy and the Kina Rami ascetics of Banaras
No full textThe Kina Rami, a sect of aghori ascetics, take their name from Kina Ram, a Rajput Sant of the seventeenth century. This thesis examines the history and reform of the Kina Ram sect while placing it within the larger framework of heterodox Shaivism. Using an anthropology of religion approach, the author uses fieldwork data and observations to discuss the sociopolitical issues related to extreme religious behavior within Indian religion and to mount a critique of scholarship that would seek to locate such behavior solely within the framework of Brahmanical Hinduism. Finally an overview is presented of the reform of the Kina Ram sect under the influence of the modern-day saint Avadhut Bhagwan Ram. The author demonstrates the contemporary use of traditional Kina Rami heterodox symbolism within the context of Avadhut Bhagwan Ram\u27s reformist organization, Sri Sarveshwari Samooh. While these reforms are demonstrated to be continuous with the traditional goals of the Kina Sect, they nonetheless represent a new compromise position in relation to the larger Brahmanical Hindu tradition

"Ramus Petri Rami" : figures martyrdom in the 1581 biography of Pierre de la Ramée by Nicolas de Nancel
No full textThis paper is devoted to the rhetorical analysis of Nicolas de Nancel’s Petri Rami Vita, which
is one of the most thorough biographies of Pierre de la Ramée (1515-1572), an early modern
French scholar, rhetorician, philosopher, and reformer of education. In the course of analysis,
the author points out intertextual relations between Nancel’s text and European tradition of
biographical writings which emerges from Plutarch’s Parallel Lives. The author reconstructs the
image of Ramus as a rhetorician and then concentrates his attention on the function and usefulness
of martyrological figures and images for further popularization of the Ramist doctrine
Covid-19 and the Host Community: Towards an Uncertain Future?
No full textThis chapter takes a close look at the resident community, which classify as ‘hosts’ in a tourism context as they are expected to host their ‘guest’counterparts. The author investigates the role of residents as hosts, their role during the Covid-19 pandemic and their likely role in the future concurrently. A case study conducted by Wassler and Talarico (2021) in the Italian city of Pisa is given as an example of the already evident impacts of the pandemic on resident attitudes towards tourists and tourism
Glacier : guided locally constrained counterfactual explanations for time series classification
No full textIn machine learning applications, there is a need to obtain predictive models of high performance and, most importantly, to allow end-users and practitioners to understand and act on their predictions. One way to obtain such understanding is via counterfactuals, that provide sample-based explanations in the form of recommendations on which features need to be modified from a test example so that the classification outcome of a given classifier changes from an undesired outcome to a desired one. This paper focuses on the domain of time series classification, more specifically, on defining counterfactual explanations for univariate time series. We propose Glacier, a model-agnostic method for generating locally-constrained counterfactual explanations for time series classification using gradient search either on the original space or on a latent space that is learned through an auto-encoder. An additional flexibility of our method is the inclusion of constraints on the counterfactual generation process that favour applying changes to particular time series points or segments while discouraging changing others. The main purpose of these constraints is to ensure more reliable counterfactuals, while increasing the efficiency of the counterfactual generation process. Two particular types of constraints are considered, i.e., example-specific constraints and global constraints. We conduct extensive experiments on 40 datasets from the UCR archive, comparing different instantiations of Glacier against three competitors. Our findings suggest that Glacier outperforms the three competitors in terms of two common metrics for counterfactuals, i.e., proximity and compactness. Moreover, Glacier obtains comparable counterfactual validity compared to the best of the three competitors. Finally, when comparing the unconstrained variant of Glacier to the constraint-based variants, we conclude that the inclusion of example-specific and global constraints yields a good performance while demonstrating the trade-off between the different metrics. © The Author(s) 2024.This work was funded in part by the Digital Futures cross-disciplinary research centre in Sweden, and the EXTREMUM collaborative project ( https://datascience.dsv.su.se/projects/extremum.html ).</p
