Factory-Built Housing in Indonesia: Current Practice and Future Challenges
Get PDFAbstract. Recent earthquake and tsunami in Aceh and North Sumatra has left Indonesia big responsibility in fulfilling housing need for people who lost their homes after this calamity. Use of mass-produced, factory-built systems for housing construction is technology that can be used as a solution to this problem. Factory-built housing can be defined as houses that are partly or all constructed in factory environment, then are transported and erected/assembled at permanent site. This paper is a summary of recent practices and potential development of factorybuilt housing in Indonesia by considering several Indonesian National Standard (SNI) which available. The aim of this paper is to explain the possibility of factory-built housing technology in Indonesia. The study synthesises information collected from review and analysis of trade and scientific literatures, a series of site visits to factorybuilt housing companies in industrialized countries; and discussions with academic institutions and building regulators in Indonesia. Definitions and types of factory-built systems are presented first followed by discussion of practical, regulatory, standards, and scientific issues applicable in Indonesia. Findings are identified as potential research needs in factory-built housing.Abstrak. Gempa dan tsunami yang baru terjadi di Aceh dan Sumatera Utara mengharuskan pemerintah Indonesia untuk menyediakan perumahan untuk masyarakat yang kehilangan rumah pasca musibah tersebut. Penggunaan sistem produksi massal konstruksi perumahan adalah suatu bentuk teknologi yang dapat dipakai untuk memecahkan masalah. Perumahan fabrikasi didefinisikan sebagai perumahan yang komponen-komponennya diproduksi di pabrik, kemudian dikirim dan dirangkai pada suatu tempat permanen. Makalah ini adalah ringkasan dari kondisi saat ini dan melihat potensi pengembangannya di Indonesia dengan mempertimbangkan SNI yang tersedia. Maksud dari paper ini adalah menjelaskan kebolehjadian penerapan teknologi perumahan fabrikasi di Indonesia. Studi yang dilakukan merupakan sintesa dari pengumpulan informasi dari kaji ulang dan analisis penerapan maupun kaji pustaka serta hasil kunjungan ke beberapa perusahaan terkait di negara maju, juga diskusi dengan institusi akademik dan regulator di Indonesia. Definisi dan jenis sistem perumahan fabrikasi ditampilkan yang disertai diskusi dari aspek praktis, regulasi, standard dan masalah saintifik di Indonesia. Dari pembahasan yang diberikan, ditemukan beberapa hal yang kiranya dapat menjadi potensi riset tentang topik yang dibahas
Technoculture Approach in Facing the Transnational Threat
Get PDFAround the world, several cases strongly affect human beings. The world is not peaceful, conflict seems persistent and intractable. Moreover, after a decade of complacency, we seem to finally grasp the fact that we are fighting for survival under the shadow of catastrophic dangers. In this situation, our strategy must be radically changed so it will involve: ends, ways of action, and means to achieve our national goals. We must also redefine our understanding of security threats and strategic doctrines must also be reconsidered. We propose to defeat transnational crime. We should strive to engender and develop a strong civil society and include technology in it. Thus, the techno culture approach points to an alternative strategy for facing the transnational threat.Keywords. threat, transnational, technoculture, public-private Di seluruh dunia, beberapa kasus kejahatan secara kuat mempengaruhi umat manusia. Dunia tidak damai, konflik tampak terus terjadi dan sulit dikendalikan. Bahkan, setelah satu dekade dengan kepuasan, kita akhirnya melihat fakta bahwa kita sedang berjuang untuk bertahan di bawah bayang-bayang bencana. Dalam situasi ini, strategi kita harus berubah secara radikal sehingga akan melibatkan: akhir, cara bertindak, dan cara untuk menggapai tujuan nasional. Kita harus mendefinisikan ulang pemahaman kita akan ancaman keamanan dan doktrin strategis harus dipertimbangkan. Kita mengusulkan untuk mengalahkan kejahatan lintas negara. Kita harus berupaya memunculkan dan mengembangkan masyarakat sipil yang kuat dan memasukkan teknologi di dalamnya. Oleh sebab itu, pendekatan teknokultur merujuk kepada strategi untuk menghadapi ancaman lintas negara tersebut.Kata kunci. ancaman, lintas negara, teknokultur, pemerintah-swasta
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
KONTRIBUSI HIDROGRAFI UNTUK MEMPERKUAT EARLY WARNING SYSTEM KEAMANAN LAUT
Get PDFEarly warning system (sistem peringatan dini) keamanan laut yang dibangun oleh Bakamla merupakan suatu sistem yang mengintegrasikan parameter bahaya pelayaran sehingga kegiatan pelayaran dapat terhindar dari bahaya. Pembangunan sistem peringatan dini ini sesuai dengan Perpres Nomor 39 Tahun 2013 tentang Rencana Kerja Pemerintah Tahun 2014 khususnya pada Buku II, Bab VII Pertahanan dan Keamanan, Pasal F. Sistem peringatan dini yang dimiliki Bakamla saat ini menampilkan data gelombang dan angin sebagai parameter bahaya. Seiring perkembangan teknologi, sistem peringatan dini yang sudah dibangun oleh Bakamla memerlukan penajaman. Peran bidang keilmuan hidrografi diperlukan dalam proses penajaman tersebut. Proses tersebut dilakukan dengan menambahkan parameter-parameter bahaya dan menyesuaikan metode pengukuran dengan tingkat ketelitian yang lebih baik.Kata kunci: bakamla, hidrografi, sistem, peringatan, pelayaranThe early warning system which has been built by Bakamla is an integrated system that integrates the parameters of sail hazard in order to avoid accidents from happening. The development of this early warning system is based on the Government's Regulation i.e. Perpres No. 39 in 2013 about the Government's plan for the year of 2014, specially in 2nd book, chapter 7th, in which security and safety aspects are obviously stated and must be concerned. The recent early warning system Bakorkamla owns displays data such as waves and winds as the hazard parameters. Along with the development of technology, the early warning system Bakorkamla has built needs enhancement. To do this, hydrography, as a branch of science is needed. The process can be done by adding more the hazard parameters and by finding a suitable measurement method with higher level of accuracy.Keywords:bakamla, hydrographi, system, warning, sai
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
