    What does regional trade in South Asia reveal about future trade integration? Some empirical evidence

    No full text
    In 1995 the seven South Asian countries-Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka-initiated a multilateral framework for regionwide integration under the South Asian Preferential Trade Agreement (SAPTA). In a recent initiative, members agreed that SAPTA would begin the transformation into a South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA) by the beginning of 2006, with full implementation completed between 2009 and 2013. The impetus toward regional preferential trading arrangements and greater regional economic integration raises many important issues, both for the South Asian region as a whole and for the individual countries. The author uses the natural trading partners hypothesis as the empirical criterion to assess the potential success of a South Asian trading bloc. Using various definitions of the natural trading partner hypothesis-based on trade volume, geographic proximity, and the complementarity approaches-the author demonstrates that the South Asian countries can be characterized only moderately as natural trading partners. This characterization is, however, largely a consequence of previous impediments to trade among regional members. The author further demonstrates through additional statistical measures-including revealed comparative advantage indices, trade concentration, and trade competition profiles-that the trade structures that have evolved among the South Asian Countries may not facilitate a rapid increase in intra-regional trade. But there is evidence that previous unilateral trade liberalization efforts in the South Asian countries have already had a positive impact in boosting both intra- and extra-regional trade. Continuing the process of unilateral liberalization, in parallel with regional integration, would aid the South Asian countries to continue to diversify their still narrow export bases and potentially evolve new comparative advantages and complementarities that could facilitate the successful implementation of SAFTA.TF054105-DONOR FUNDED OPERATION ADMINISTRATION FEE INCOME AND EXPENSE ACCOUNT,Trade and Regional Integration,Economic Theory&Research,Trade Policy,Environmental Economics&Policies

    As one of the Almighty creatures, humans will certainly never be separated from thoughts about their God. Divinity is one of the sacred things which mediates how humans appreciate worship to their Creator. Even though it is well known that God is One with such worship, it turns out that there are several ethnic groups and cultures which collaborate this divine concept with their culture or what is called the Javanese tradition. Of the many Javanese traditions in Indonesia, the Sapta Darma and Sumarah traditions are examples of how a Javanese culture has its own divine concept. Which is still an interesting topic and object to study. There are several similarities between the Sapta Darma an Sumarah traditions. As for what is the similarity between these two schools is regarding the concept of prostration which becomes the intermediary between the adherents and his creator. Not only in terms of the similarities found, the author also found differences between these two schools, including regarding how these two schools interpret divinity between perspectives, with the existence of the Pancasila of God for example, or with other things. Not only that, regarding the nature of God and God’s relationship with humans, in fact, these two schools have unique definitions. Therefore, this paper aims to expand on this material in detail. Specifically, this paper aims to explore a little how the meaning of divinity according to the Javanese tradition in Indonesia. This study employed comparative analysis to compare the divine concept according to the Sapta Darma and Sumarah schools. And supported by a theological approach that is really focused on the concept of divinit

    Meteran air yang digunakan PDAM untuk mengetahui penggunaan air di rumah pelanggan masih bersifat analog sehingga pelanggan kesulitan dalam membaca jumlah penggunaan air. Tujuan dari penelitian ini ialah mengembangkan sebuah perangkat sederhana yang dapat mengetahui penggunaan air secara real time oleh pengguna berbasis IoT dengan tingkat akurasi yang baik. Penelitian ini menggunakan Water Flow Sensor, Arduino Pro Mini, Arduino Mega 2560, Modul GSM SIM900A, serta Modul Micro SD Card. Hasil dari penelitian pada saat pengkalibrasian Water Flow Sensor dengan 10 kali percobaan terhadap tujuh parameter yang berbeda didapatkan nilai RMSE sebesar 0,31 L/menit atau menyimpang sekitar 4,12%. Total penggunaan air yang didapat Water Flow Sensor berbanding jauh dengan meteran air PDAM diduga karena debit air yang mengalir dipengaruhi oleh tekanan dan spesifikasi sensor. Pengiriman data ke platform selama 24 jam memiliki tingkat keberhasilan sebesar 98,1%

    Tea plantation is a heritage landscape from Sidamanik District which has been established since 1927. Currently the tea plantation is managed by PT Perkebunan Nusantara (PTPN) IV. It is no longer just a tea producer but has become a tourist destination. In the development of this tour the author assesses the possibility of damage to the plantation environment. So the author considers that a conservation effort is needed, this is also supported by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), namely protecting the world's natural heritage as stated by the United Nations. Efforts to preserve this plantation can be realized by providing a container in the form of an agro tourism area. With this tourist area, all activities can be organized so that tourists can enjoy the beauty of the plantation and also learn about tea and this will increase the income of the local community. In this conservation effort, the author considers that preserving nature in agro-tourism areas also needs to be considered, so an architectural approach is needed and the author assesses that the ecological approach is a solution where ecological architecture is an environmentally friendly design concept that focuses on an approach to nature so as to reduce negative impacts of the building to the natural conditions of the site. With the existence of this agro-tourism area, it is expected to reduce the negative impact of tourism activities on natural plantations and can also help improve the economy of the Sidamanik district community. And can be the face of Sidamanik District in the eyes of the national and even the world.Perkebunan teh merupakan pusaka saujana dari Kecamatan Sidamanik yang sudah berdiri sejak tahun 1927. Saat ini perkebunan teh dikelola oleh PT Perkebunan Nusantara (PTPN) IV. Perkebunan teh ini bukan lagi sekedar penghasil teh namun sudah menjadi sebuah destinasi wisata. Dalam perkembangan wisata ini penulis menilai adanya kemungkinan perusakan lingkungan perkebunan. Sehingga penulis menilai dibutuhkan sebuah upaya pelestarian, hal ini didukung juga oleh Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) yaitu menjaga warisan alam dunia yang diutarakan oleh PBB. Upaya pelestarian saujana perkebunan ini dapat diwujudkan dengan menyediakan sebuah wadah berupa kawasan wisata agro. Dengan adanya kawasan wisata ini, seluruh kegiatan dapat diorganisir sehingga wisatawan dapat menikmati keindahan perkebunan dan juga belajar tentang teh serta hal ini akan meningkatkan pendapatan para masyarakat setempat. Dalam upaya pelestarian ini penulis menilai bahwa menjaga alam pada kawasan wisata agro juga perlu diperhatikan maka dibutuhkan sebuah pendekatan asrsitektur dan penulis menilai pendekatan ekologi adalah sebuah solusi di mana arsitektur ekologi itu adalah sebuah konsep perancangan ramah lingkungan yang menitikberatkan pada pendekatan terhadap alam sehingga mengurangi dampak negatif dari bangunan terhadap kondisi alam tapak. Dengan adanya kawasan agrowisata ini diharapkan dapat mengurangi dampak negatif dari kegiatan wisata terhadap alam perkebunan dan juga dapat membantu meningkatkan perekonomian masyarakat kecamatan Sidamanik. Serta dapat menjadi wajah Kecamatan Sidamanik di mata nasional bahkan dunia.145 HalamanSkripsi Sarjan
