    EVALUATION ON CONSISTENCY BETWEEN HJ-1 CCD AND TM IMAGES IN MONITORING FRACTIONAL GREEN VEGETATION COVER

    No full text
    The fractional green vegetation cover (Fc) is an important climate model parameter. Remote sensing technique has become one of the most effective means to acquire vegetation dynamics information. The CCD cameras onboard HJ-1 satellites (Environment and Disaster monitoring and forecasting Satellite constellation) are advanced in revisit frequency and image coverage compared with Landsat TM. This study aims to assess the capability of HJ-1 CCD images in monitoring of Fc in terms of comparing with the widely used TM images. The quality of HJ-1 CCD is compared with the same temporal TM image in two aspects: the image statistical analysis and the image application analysis. After the comparison between the HJ-1 CCD image and TM image of the same area. The results show a high level of uniform between HJ-1 and TM images. Therefore, the conclusion may be drawn that the HJ-1 CCD image is feasible and suitable for Fc monitoring.Engineering, Electrical & ElectronicGeosciences, MultidisciplinaryRemote SensingEICPCI-S(ISTP)

    The real R&D options value incorporating technological risk management 

    No full text
    [[abstract]]Purpose - The paper aims to evaluate the real research and development (R&D) options value through the proposed model that can jointly consider the two types of risk management activities, i.e. hedging risks and making use of risks. Hedging is an important risk-management tool that can diversify R&D risk internally since R&D organizations cannot transfer technological risks to another entity by conventional loss financing methods. Making use of risks means R&D organizations can benefit from proactively managing risks, and then can create management-flexibility value from the real option reasoning viewpoint. Design/methodology/approach - Using the real options pricing approach, the paper provides an applicable assessment method for R&D projects that can jointly consider the aforementioned two types of risk management activities. The paper also investigates the value-enhancing effects of R&D risk management activities via interviews survey and secondary data analyses in the pharmaceutical industry of Taiwan. Findings - Through numerical analyses, the results indicate that the hedging management can serve to be effective mechanisms of risk reduction as well as value enhancement for R&D projects. Additionally, the value-enhancing effect of hedging management is more significant for those R&D projects with even higher risk-level. The results of empirical study also are consistent with the model prediction. Originality/value - To achieve great performance of R&D risk management, R&D organizations need to implement both the types of risk management activities. By this real-options valuation approach incorporating together those risk management activities, R&D projects portfolio can be evaluated adequately.[[note]]SC

The author presents this paper in the form of a qualitative approach, with qualitative descriptive methods, collection techniques using interview and observation methods, which are then analyzed by interactive analysis techniques namely data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. This study aims to illustrate the Concept of Education for Perpective Women Nyai Hj. Masriyah Amva at Kebon Jambu Al-Islamy Islamic Boarding School. According to him, education for women consists of material elements, immaterial elements and character elements. The material element is education that equips students with various sciences according to their respective levels, while the immaterial element is that women are able to present and involve the Creator in all their life processes, according to Nyai Hj. Masriyah Amva, that is, women must be educated in such a way as to form a woman who is persistent, independent, has a personality, is pious and tough with hard prayers, hard efforts and always has positive thoughts.Salah satu sosok ulama perempuan yang sangat dikenal di Cirebon adalah Nyai Hj. Masriyah Amva. Beliau adalah sosok ulama perempuan yang berbeda dengan lainnya, Nyai Hj. Masriyah Amva menjadi pengasuh Pondok Pesantren Kebon Jambu Al-Islamy di Desa Babakan, Ciwaringin Cirebon, beliau menjadi pemimpin lebih dari 1.000 santri laki-laki dan perempuan. Penulis menyajikan tulisan ini dalam bentuk pendekatan kualitatif, dengan metode deskriptif kualitatif, teknik pengumpulan menggunakan metode wawancara dan observasi, yang kemudian dianalisis dengan teknik analisis interaktif yaitu reduksi data, penyajian data dan penarikan kesimpulan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan Konsep Pendidikan untuk Perempuan Perpektif Nyai Hj. Masriyah Amva di Pondok Pesantren Kebon Jambu Al-Islamy. Menurutya pendidikan untuk perempuan adanya unsur material, unsur imaterial dan unsur karakter. Unsur material adalah pendidikan yang membekali santrinya dengan berbagai ilmu pengetahuan sesuai jenjangnya masing-masing, sedangkan unsur Imaterial adalah para perempuan mampu menghadirkan dan melibatkan Sang Pencipta dalam semua proses kehidupannya, unsur karakter menurut Nyai Hj. Masriyah Amva yaitu perempuan harus dididik sedemikian rupa hingga terbentuklah sosok perempuan yang gigih, mandiri, berkepribadian, bertaqwa dan tangguh dengan do`a keras, usaha keras dan selalu berfikiran positif
