On the source of risk aversion in Indonesia using micro data 2007
No full textMany conventional economic analyses assume that risk preference is taken as given and do not give much scrutiny on it. However, empirical studies show that risk preference is not random: shocks and predetermined characteristics can determine risk preference. This study tried to see if these potential determinants together affect risk aversion in Indonesia using 2007 micro data. The author found that there is limited evidence that shocks and predetermined characteristics can affect risk preference. There is a preliminary indication that risk preference was not only driven by the individual's wealth and demographic factors (that can be easily controlled), but also by the individual's time preference

Application of deep learning to detect Lamb’s quarters (Chenopodium album L.) in potato fields of Atlantic Canada
No full textExcessive use of herbicides for weed control increases the cost of crop production and can lead to environmental degradation. An intelligent spraying system can apply agrochemicals on an as-needed basis by detecting and selectively targeting the weeds. The objective of this research was to investigate the feasibility of using deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) for detecting lamb’s quarters (Chenopodium album) in potato fields. Five potato fields were selected in Prince Edward Island (PEI) and New Brunswick (NB), Canada to collect images of spatially and temporally varied potato plants and lamb’s quarters. The image database included pictures, taken under varying growth stages of potato, outdoor light (clear, cloudy, and partly cloudy), and shadowy conditions. The images were trained for DCNN models, namely GoogLeNet, VGG-16, and EfficientNet to classify lamb’s quarters and potato plants. Performance of two frameworks, namely TensorFlow and PyTorch, were compared in training, testing, and during inferring the DCNNs. Results showed excellent performance of DCNNs in lamb’s quarters and potato plant classification (accuracy > 90%). However, the EfficientNet with PyTorch framework showed a maximum accuracy of (0.92–0.97) for every growth stage of the plants. Inference times of DCNNs were recorded using three graphics processing units (GPUs), namely Nvidia GeForce 930MX, Nvidia GeForce GTX1080 Ti, and Nvidia GeForce GTX1050. All the DCNNs performed better with PyTorch than TensorFlow frameworks. It was concluded that the trained models can be used in automation of the spraying systems for the site-specific application of agrochemicals for weed control in potato fields. Such precision agriculture technologies will ensure economically viable and environmentally safe potato cultivation
Diskursus Fenomenologi Agama Dalam Studi Agama-Agama
No full textThe imbalance in the study of religions not only occurs in the history of its development but also its methodology. Starting from the Western scientists who are not objective in describing comprehensively the development of this discipline that sets aside the contribution of Muslim scientists in it. Which gives an effect on the paradigm that produces a methodology that is very westernized. This knowledge cannot be separated from the role of contemporary Muslim scientists and researchers, by using the method of critical analysis, the author tries to Islamize one of the main methods in the study of religions namely the phenomenology of religion. The goal is to be friendly and can be used by Muslim scientists and researchers. By the concept and method of Islamization of Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas's on science (de-westernization, integration and Islamization), the authors formulated three problematic aspects in the phenomenology of religion, those are paradigms, epoche method and neutral. After the process of criticism as a form of de-westernization, the author then integrates with the research methods of Muslim scientists. Thus, the phenomenology of religion was successfully Islamized and friendly for Muslim researchers to be used. Ketimpangan dalam studi agama-agama tidak hanya terjadi dalam sejarah perkembangannya tetapi juga metodologinya. Berawal dari para ilmuwan Barat yang tidak objektif dalam memaparkan perkembangan disiplin ilmu ini secara komprehensif yang menyisihkan kontribusi para ilmuwan muslim di dalamnya. Hal demikian berpengaruh terhadap paradigma yang menghasilkan metodologi yang sangat berbau kebarat-baratan. Disiplin ilmu ini tidak bisa lepas dari peran ilmuwan dan peneliti muslim kontemporer, dengan menggunakan metode analisis kritis, penulis mencoba untuk mengislamisasikan salah satu metode utama dalam studi agama-agama yakni fenomenologi agama. Tujuannya agar ramah dan dapat digunakan oleh para ilmuwan dan peneliti muslim. Dengan konsep dan metode islamisasi ilmu pengetahuan Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas (dewesternisasi, integrasi dan islamisasi), penulis merumuskan tiga aspek yang bermasalah dalam fenomenologi agama yaitu paradigma, metode epoche dan netral. Setelah proses kritik sebagai bentuk dewesternisasi, kemudian penulis mengintegrasikan dengan metode penelitian ilmuwan muslim. Oleh yang demikian, fenomenologi agama berhasil diislamisasikan dan ramah untuk digunakan para peneliti muslim
Decision Support System for the Most Chosen and Preferred Smartphone Using the MOORA Method: Author\u27s Country: Indonesia
No full textThe rapid development of the digital era in Indonesia has posed difficulties for consumers in choosing the right smartphone for them. This research aims to develop a DSS (Decision Support System) using the MOORA (Multi-Objective Optimization on the Basis of Ratio Analysis) method to determine the best smartphone according to consumer preferences, with criteria including smartphone price, design, usability flexibility, durability, performance, and camera quality. Evaluation is carried out by calculating the weight value of each criterion and ranking the smartphone alternatives based on a questionnaire. The research results show that the MOORA method is able to determine the best smartphone according to the people of Solo and help consumers choose the right smartphone for them. This research involves five of the most widely used smartphones in Indonesia (Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and Infinix) using the MOORA (Multi-Objective Optimization on the Basis of Ratio Analysis) method based on the defined criteria. The results show that Xiaomi smartphones rank first both in terms of quality and user quantity. The practical implications of this research are significant, providing consumers with a data-driven approach to make informed smartphone choices, thereby enhancing their purchasing satisfactio
Holiday Destinations: Understanding the Perceptions of Omani Outbound Tourists
No full textIt is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the growing numbers of Islamic tourists from countries such as the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) zone and Indonesia. This thesis aims to understand Omani outbound pleasure travellers by identifying their travel motivations, the main travel and leisure constraints they experience, and how they overcome these constraints. It also investigates the influence of Islamic teachings on their choice of a pleasure destination and their participation in leisure activities.
The main data collection methods involved in-depth interviews (n = 27) (the qualitative phase), and the distribution of a self-completion questionnaire (n = 298) (a quantitative phase) to both actual travellers and non-travellers. A mixed method approach allowed further insight into the research phenomenon as well as enhancing the trustworthiness of the research findings. Content analysis was used to analyse the qualitative data using CatPac (CATegory PACkage) and Leximancer software, while the quantitative data were analysed by utilising analysis techniques including T-tests, ANOVA, factor analysis, cluster analysis, regression, and MANOVA in SPSS.
The study identifies: (a) the most important push and pull travel motivations for Omani outbound tourists; (b) the main travel and leisure constraints that inhibit Omanis from travelling overseas and participating in leisure activities; and, (c) the most frequent travel and leisure negotiation strategies that are adopted to overcome these constraints. The results of the study also determine the influence of socio-demographic variables (gender, marital status, age, educational level, income, and occupation) on Omani tourists' perceptions and behaviours. In terms of the impact of Islamic teachings, this study finds that the Islamic teachings have an indirect influence on the choice of a pleasure travel destination and a direct influence on participation in leisure activities. In relation to market segmentation, the study finds that it is possible to segment Omani outbound tourists based on their travel motivations. Further, this study suggests that participation, or nonparticipation, in overseas travel is an outcome of the joint action of travel motivations and constraints. Other useful findings relate to the three-dimensional leisure constraints model as well as the influence of travel motivations and constraints on the use of negotiation strategies are reported.
The current study provides information that will aid the travel and leisure industry in targeting the Muslim travel market to formulate effective marketing strategies and develop appropriate product plans. Finally, both the managerial implications of the study’s results, and possible future research directions, are discussed
THE USE OF METHODS OR MEANS OF WARFARE WHICH CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT BASED ON THE INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW
No full textAbstract
Environment has been widely recognized as international interest and all states shall avoid any activities that may damage the environment. The adoption of Stockholm Declaration 1972, World Charter for Nature 1982, and Rio Declaration 1992 denotes that protection of the environment reflects customary international law. War or armed conflict was one of the principal contributors to the environmental damages. As in the Vietnam War, the United States attempted to create artificial rain by seeding the cloud which led to the establishment of the 1976 Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques (ENMOD Convention) and the Additional Protocol I 1977. However, the Gulf War 1990-1991 gave rise to the questions whether those two instruments were sufficient to encompass the environmental damages caused by the Iraqi methods of warfare by burning oil wells and spilling oil to the sea. This issue was raised by the author since these two instruments set a high threshold and unclear terms on a degree of environmental damages to be considered as a violation. Accordingly, this paper discusses whether the environmental damages caused by the Persian Gulf War meets the threshold set by the Additional Protocol I and the ENMOD Convention, and further discusses the international responsibility that arose from the damages caused by the War. The result of this research shows that environmental damages caused by Iraqi burning oil wells and oil spill apparently did not satisfy the threshold set by the Additional Protocol I and the ENMOD Convention.

Abstrak
Lingkungan sudah diakui sebagai permasalahan internasional dan semua negara wajib untuk menghindari kegiatan yang berakibat kerusakan terhadap lingkungan. Pembentukan Deklarasi Stockholm 1972, Piagam Dunia Untuk Lingkungan 1982 dan Deklarasi Rio 1992 menunjukkan bahwa perlindungan terhadap lingkungan telah merefleksikan hukum kebiasaan internasional. Perang atau konflik bersenjata merupakan salah satu penyebab utama kerusakan lingkungan. Seperti percobaan untuk membuat hujan buatan yang dilakukan oleh Amerika Serikat dalam Perang Vietnam yang berujung dibentuknya Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques 1976 (Konvensi ENMOD) dan Protokol Tambahan I 1977. Namun, Perang Teluk 1990-1991 menimbulkan pertanyaan apakah kedua instrumen tersebut dapat mencakup kerusakan lingkungan yang diakibatkan oleh metode berperang Irak dengan membakar dan menumpahkan minyak. Permasalahan tersebut diangkat oleh penulis karena kedua instrumen tersebut menetapkan kriteria kerusakan lingkungan yang kurang jelas dan standar yang terlalu tinggi untuk dinyatakan sebagai pelanggaran. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini akan membahas apakah kerusakan lingkungan yang diakibatkan oleh Perang Teluk memenuhi syarat yang ditetapkan oleh Protokol Tambahan I dan Konvensi ENMOD, dan juga membahas tanggung jawab internasional yang timbul sebagai akibat dari kerusakan lingkungan yang diakibatkan oleh perang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kerusakan lingkungan yang diakibatkan oleh Irak dengan membakar dan menumpahkan minyak ternyata tidak memenuhi standar yang ditetapkan oleh Protokol Tambahan I dan Konvensi ENMOD.

Complete disruption of autism-susceptibility genes by gene editing predominantly reduces functional connectivity of isogenic human neurons
No full textAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous. We present a CRISPR gene editing strategy to insert a protein tag and premature termination sites creating an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) knockout resource for functional studies of ten ASD-relevant genes (AFF2/FMR2, ANOS1, ASTN2, ATRX, CACNA1C, CHD8, DLGAP2, KCNQ2, SCN2A, TENM1). Neurogenin 2 (NGN2)-directed induction of iPSCs allowed production of excitatory neurons, and mutant proteins were not detectable. RNA sequencing revealed convergence of several neuronal networks. Using both patch-clamp and multi-electrode array approaches, the electrophysiological deficits measured were distinct for different mutations. However, they culminated in a consistent reduction in synaptic activity, including reduced spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic current frequencies in AFF2/FMR2-, ASTN2-, ATRX-, KCNQ2-, and SCN2A-null neurons. Despite ASD susceptibility genes belonging to different gene ontologies, isogenic stem cell resources can reveal common functional phenotypes, such as reduced functional connectivity
