The benefits of growth for Indonesian Workers
No full textIndonesia's adopted development model has proved to be the most successful in alleviating poverty and benefiting workers in developing countries. The government's development efforts focused on agriculture, education, and transport infrastructure. It emphasized providing productive employment opportunities and gradually improving the labor quality through education and training. The wage, employment, and income growth rates were left to market forces. Although the rapid growth of labor-intensive manufacturing has led to more jobs and higher wages benefiting workers, workers employed in these industries have expressed growing dissatisfaction. They complain about problems of child labor, the denial of centrally mandated wages and benefits to workers, poor working conditions, and the abuse of young female workers. The government has tried to improve worker's wages and working conditions by centrally mandating higher labor standards, relying principally on minimum wages. Enforcement has improved and, despite low compliance, minimum wages are beginning to bite. Indonesians are debating whether they need labor intensive industries and whether it is a mistake to base Indonesia's growth on cheap labor. They argue that if labor is more expensive, manufacturers must substitute some capital for labor. However, if labor-intensive industries are rejected, the capacity of the economy to absorb plentiful workers will be reduced. The main alternatives are to push up wages now, or to let wages be determined by market forces and strengthen institutions that could improve working conditions, such as labor unions. The author recommends maintaining flexible labor markets and allowing market forces to set the pace of change, while strengthening labor unions.Environmental Economics&Policies,Public Health Promotion,Labor Policies,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Work&Working Conditions,Environmental Economics&Policies,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Banks&Banking Reform,Work&Working Conditions,Municipal Financial Management

Efficient inference of convolutional neural networks on general purpose hardware using weight repetition
No full textDeep Neural Networks (DNNs) have begun to permeate all corners of electronic society due to their high accuracy and machine efficiency per operation. Recent work has shown how weights within and across DNN filters have large degrees of repetition due to the pigeonhole principle and modern weight quantization schemes, and that this weight repetition can be harnessed improve DNN inference efficiency in an accelerator/ASIC context. This thesis develops new techniques so that weight repetition leads to an efficiency gain on general-purpose and programmable SIMD-based architectures such as CPUs equipped with vector extensions. We show how to write high-performance software that does not require hardware modifications and can cope with the irregularity introduced by weight repetition schemes. Overall, our highly parallel software kernel achieves up to 1:51 speedup in runtime of inference over state-of-the-art baseline.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2021-05-01The student, Rohit Agrawal, accepted the attached license on 2019-04-23 at 21:40.The student, Rohit Agrawal, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2019-04-23 at 21:43.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2019-04-24 at 15:53.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13851 on 2019-08-22 at 16:23:40Made available in DSpace on 2019-08-23T20:48:24Z (GMT).

There was no equal food distribution by the government so they relied on people who were giving rations. They also faced police atrocity during Corona.Created (Author) by: Keyur Bajrange.

Budhan Stories S2E4: Corona, Snakes and Vaccine
No full textEpisode 4 of Season 2 - Corona, Snakes and Vaccine episode explores traditional snake charmer communities; who lives in small hamlets in forest area. The Madari tribe is a nomadic tribe and they normally follow their own traditional medicines and are reluctant to use allopathic medicines. Madari tribe people were very reluctant to take vaccination because they believed that it is a way to reduce the population and people would die after the vaccination. So such a wonderful people, clever but extremely traditional faced Corona in their own ways.Created (Author) by: Chetna Rathid.
