The Construction Of The Identity Of The Members Of His Council Taklim Ilal Jannah

The emergence of various types of social media such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp is no longer used by young people who have hobbies that are identical to just for fun. However, users of social media have entered into certain religious circles such as majelis taklim. The purpose of the study was to find out how the patterns of social media use in constructing identities carried out through social media by members of the Taklim assembly group. This study uses a qualitative approach using a constructivist paradigm that is descriptive. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation and literature studies. The results obtained are the formation of community identities carried out by its members through activities carried out starting from recitation, tahlil, and pilgrimage to the tomb. The photos and videos of these activities were then published by members of the assembly on the social media of their members. The formation of the identity of the assembly members is an instant way of forming the image of the assembly and aims to obtain new members of the recitation. The conclusion obtained from this paper is that the identity is not in a static condition but is liquid, it is constantly being constructed to fulfill the interests of the assembly and its members.

A Requiem for “Blame it on Beijing”: Interpreting Rotating Global Current Account Surpluses

Global current account imbalances have reappeared, although the extent and distribution of these imbalances are noticeably different from those experienced in the middle of the last decade. What does that recurrence mean for our understanding of the origin and nature of such imbalances? Will imbalances persist over time? Informed by empirical estimates of the determinants of current account imbalances encompassing the period after the global recession, we find that – as before – the observable manifestations of the factors driving the global saving glut have limited explanatory power for the time series variation in imbalances. Fiscal factors determine imbalances, and have accounted for a noticeable share of the recent variation in imbalances, including in the U.S. and Germany. For advanced economies, the financial component of the current account has been playing an increasing role to determine the movements of the account. Examining observable policy actions, it is clear that net official flows have been associated with some share of imbalances, although tracing out the motivations for intervention is difficult. Looking forward, it is clear that policy can influence global imbalances, although some component of the U.S. deficit will likely remain given the U.S. role in generating safe assets. <br><br>Institutional subscribers to the NBER working paper series, and residents of developing countries may download this paper without additional charge at <a href="http://www.nber. org/papers/&#119;26226" TARGET="_blank">www.nber. org</a>. <br>
The factors causing delays in public procurement: the Czech Republic versus the UK

ABSTRACT This paper presents a comparison of time delays in the awarding of public sector contracts in the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom. The problem of these time delays has not been adequately addressed in the academic literature. The authors analysed the factors impacting on time delays in each country. IMPACT A significant portion of GDP, in all countries, is allocated via public procurement. This paper compares the length of procurement procedures in the Czech Republic and the UK and the reasons for delays. The authors highlight the absence of public policies on procurement in the Czech Republic. A basic prerequisite for improving the results of public procurement is for all actors in the process to be involved and committed: officials and politicians and the public.
NBER WORKING PAPER SERIES TOWARD AN UNDERSTANDING OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: THEORY AND FIELD EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE

We develop theory and a tightly-linked field experiment to explore the supply side implications of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Our natural field experiment, in which we created our own firm and hired actual workers, generates a rich data set on worker behavior and responses to both pecuniary and CSR incentives. Making use of a novel identification framework, we use these data to estimate a structural principal-agent model. This approach permits us to compare and contrast treatment and selection effects of both CSR and financial incentives. Using data from more than 1100 job seekers, we find strong evidence that when a firm advertises work as socially-oriented, it attracts employees who are more productive, produce higher quality work, and have more highly valued leisure time. In terms of enhancing the labor pool, for example, CSR increases the number of applicants by 25 percent, an impact comparable to the effect of a 36 percent increase in wages. We also find an economically important complementarity between CSR and wage offers, highlighting the import of using both to hire and motivate workers. Beyond lending insights into the supply side of CSR, our research design serves as a framework for causal inference on other forms of non-pecuniary incentives and amenities in the workplace, or any other domain more generally.

GODAE OceanView Inter-comparison for the Australian Region

This paper compares the performance of short-range operational ocean forecasts, using ‘observational space’ metrics developed under GODAE OceanView (GOV). Best estimates (behind the real-time analysis) and forecasts are inter-compared for the Australian region (0-50S, 90-180E) for 2013. Systems considered include those developed in Australia, France, Canada, United Kingdom and USA. Each system is compared to observations of along-track sea level anomaly, sea surface temperature observations from surface drifters and sub-surface Argo profiles of temperature and salinity. The UK operational system generally has the smallest errors for sea surface temperature and sea level anomaly for the Australian region. However, the French systems outperform others in sub-surface temperature and salinity for the region. Of the two products provided by the Australian centre, an ensemble based approach is found to perform better than the deterministic system, having higher skill and lower root mean square errors. Some of the ‘better’ results of systems can be attributed in part to the lack of independence of the reference observations; however the study does demonstrate the feasibility and robustness of GOV global ocean inter-comparison efforts for regional applications.
Qualité de vie dans les maladies inflammatoires chroniques de l'intestin. Validation d'un questionnaire et premières données françaises.

Les maladies inflammatoires chroniques de l'intestin ont un retentissement important sur la vie quotidienne des malades. L'etude de la qualite de vie permet de mesurer ce retentissement. Elle necessite la mise au point d'un questionnaire dont nous rapportons ici la validation. Methodes. - Le questionnaire comportait 70 items et etait rempli en 15 minutes. Il etait compose a) d'un questionnaire general de 36 items (SF-36) explorant les activites quotidiennes, physiques et sociales, la sante psychique et perceptuelle, la douleur et la vitalite, enrichi d'un module sommeil de 6 items ; b) d'un questionnaire specifique comportant 28 items (RFIPC), explorait les craintes des malades. Le questionnaire a ete auto-administre a 101 malades atteints de maladie de Crohn (57F, 44H, âge moyen : 35 ans ; et poussee : 28% ; hospitalises: 27%), 96 malades atteints de rectocolite hemorragique (38F, 58H, âge moyen : 39 ans ; en poussee : 53% ; hospitalises: 21%). Chaque malade a ete apparie sur le sexe et l'âge a un sujet controle sain. Resultats. - Les analyses psychometriques ont etabli la pertinence du regroupement des questions dans leurs echelles et la fiabilite des scores obtenus (α de Cronbach > 0,70). Par rapport aux sujets controles, les malades avaient des scores moins bons sur toutes les echelles du SF-36. Les scores des malades en poussee etaient moins bons que ceux des malades en remission. Les scores etaient comparables chez les malades avec maladie de Crohn et rectocolite hemorragique sauf pour celui des douleurs abdominales plus eleve chez les malades ayant une maladie de Crohn en poussee. Les 3 principales craintes des malades concernaient le caractere imprevisible de la maladie, le retentissement sur la forme et la crainte d'etre opere. Conclusion. Cette etude a permis la validation d'un questionnaire de qualite de vie au cours des maladies inflammatoires chroniques de l'intestin en France et fournit des premieres indications qui necessitent d'etre confirmees par des etudes epidemiologiques.
The Vimalakīrtinirdeśa Commentary [T1775] by Sengzhao et alii and the Chinese Conquest of Buddhism

This thesis undertakes an in-depth analysis of the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa Commentary (Zhu Weimojie jing 注維摩詰經 [T1775]), a collection of explanatory annotations on the Chinese version of the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa (406 AD) by the Kuchean translator Kumārajīva (344-413) and two of his Chinese “disciples”, namely Sengzhao 僧肇 (384-414) and Daosheng 道生 (ca 355-434). The text is analyzed and discussed from a number of different perspectives, each of those being articulated into one chapter and centered upon a specific concept. These are: 1. translation; 2. interpretation; 3. editing and transmission. The first chapter provides a “genealogy” of the Buddhist translation activity in the city of Chang’an, focusing on the work of three translators, viz. Dharmarakṣa, Dao’an 道安 and Kumārajīva. On the basis of this historical data I then analyze the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa Commentary as a typical “side-product” of Kumārajīva’s translation enterprise. The second chapter focuses on interpretation. It examines the three major commentaries included in Zhu Weimojie jing also in the light of the cultural background and the life trajectory of each author. Along with the content of the commentaries, my analysis puts a special emphasis on the modes of trans-cultural reception of Buddhist ideas, something which also entails a discussion of the “formal features” of each work. The third chapter focuses on the editing and transmission of the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa Commentary. Here I collect and discuss the most relevant available evidence regarding the textual history of the Commentary from its composition up to its first printing.
Monetary Policy and the Stock Market: Time-Series Evidence

We construct a slope factor from changes in federal funds futures of different horizons. Slope predicts stock returns at the weekly frequency: faster monetary policy easing positively predicts excess returns. Investors can achieve increases in weekly Sharpe ratios of 20% conditioning on the slope factor. The tone of speeches by the FOMC chair correlates with the slope factor. Slope predicts changes in future interest rates and forecast revisions of professional forecasters. Our findings show that the path of future interest rates matters for asset prices, and monetary policy affects asset prices throughout the year and not only at FOMC meetings.
Deep Speaker Embedding Extraction with Channel-Wise Feature Responses and Additive Supervision Softmax Loss Function

In speaker verification, the convolutional neural networks (CNN) have been successfully leveraged to achieve a great performance. Most of the models based on CNN primarily focus on learning the distinctive speaker embedding from the horizontal direction (time-axis). However, the feature relationship between channels is usually neglected. In this paper, we firstly aim toward an alternate direction of recalibrating the channelwise features by introducing the recently proposed “squeezeand-excitation” (SE) module for image classification. We effectively incorporate the SE blocks in the deep residual networks (ResNet-SE) and demonstrate a slightly improvement on VoxCeleb corpuses. Additionally, we propose a new loss function, namely additive supervision softmax (AS-Softmax), to make full use of the prior knowledge of the mis-classified samples at training stage by imposing more penalty on the mis-classified samples to regularize the training process. The experimental results on VoxCeleb corpuses demonstrate that the proposed loss could further improve the performance of speaker system, especially on the case that the combination of the ResNet-SE and the AS-Softmax.
Joint Decoding of CTC Based Systems for Speech Recognition

Connectionist temporal classiﬁcation (CTC) has been successfully used in speech recognition. It learns the alignments be-tween speech frames and label sequences automatically without explicit pre-generated frame-level labels. While this property is convenient for shortening the training pipeline, it may become a potential disadvantage for the frame-level system combination due to inaccurate alignments. In this paper, a novel Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) based position calibration algorithm is proposed for joint decoding on two CTC based acoustic models. Furthermore, joint decoding for CTC and conventional hybrid NN-HMM models is also explored. Experiments on a large vocabulary Mandarin speech recognition task show that the proposed joint decoding of both CTC based and CTC-Hybrid based systems can achieve a signiﬁcant and consistent character error rate reduction.
Those who can’t sort, steal: caste, occupational mobility, and rent-seeking in rural India

Abstract Three important features of Indian labor markets enduringly coexist: rent-seeking, occupational immobility, and caste. These facts are puzzling, given theories that predict static, equilibrium social inequality without conflict. Our model explains these facts as an equilibrium outcome. Some people switch caste-associated occupations for an easier source of rents, rather than for productivity. This undermines trust between castes and shuts down occupational mobility, which further encourages rent-seeking due to an inability of workers to sort into occupations. We motivate our contribution with novel stylized facts exploiting a unique survey question on casteism in India, which we show is associated with rent-seeking.
Ethnic and Gender Differences in the Correlates of Bone Mineral Density

Osteoporosis is an important public health concern because of the significant morbidity and mortality associated with osteoporotic fractures. It is well established that ethnic and gender differences influence osteoporosis risk, but the etiology of these differences is not well studied. The goals of this research were to examine correlates of hip bone mineral density (BMD) and rates of bone loss among persons of African ancestry in three complementary analyses. In the first analysis, correlates of BMD were identified for 1,784 Tobagonian males, aged 40-84 years. BMD was inversely associated with age, height, and history of a broken bone. Lean mass, working on a fishing boat, and diabetes were positively associated with BMD. Correlates explained 25% of the variability in hip and femoral neck BMD.Correlates of BMD were also identified for 340 postmenopausal Tobagonian females, aged 50-94 years. BMD was positively associated with weight, thiazide diuretics, aspirin, recent back pain, and diabetes. BMD was inversely associated with age, thyroid medication, family history of fracture, and beta-blockers. Correlates explained 37% - 38% of the variability in hip and femoral neck BMD.Lastly, ethnic differences in rates of bone loss within gender were investigated among 457 Caucasian and 121 African American males and females, aged 65-87 years. Baseline and follow-up BMD was measured four years apart. African American males lost significantly less hip BMD compared to Caucasian males (-0.04% vs. -0.45%), after adjusting for covariates. Longitudinal changes in lean and fat mass explained more variability in rates of bone loss than weight, after adjustment for covariates.In conclusion, BMD was approximately one standard deviation higher among Tobagonians, despite gender, compared to NHANES data for African American males and females. Correlates of BMD were similar across gender among Tobagonians. Interestingly, older African American females had rates of bone loss that were comparable to Caucasian females, while African American males experienced significantly lower rates of hip bone loss. With our aging society and longer life expectancies for persons of African ancestry, the public health significance of this research is that osteoporosis may have a greater impact among minorities in the future.
Becoming part of behind the scenes: patients' experiences of co-learning with primary health care teams.

Current debates about the involvement of health service users in service delivery, research and education focus on the purpose of their involvement, the methods of their involvement, barriers to their involvement and the impact of their involvement. There is little reported about the experience of service user involvement from the service user perspective although some reports are beginning to emerge. This research study explored the experiences of a group of health service users (patient representatives) who brought their experience of being a patient to contribute to an educational initiative about quality improvement and back pain. That study – the Learning to Improve the Management of Back Pain in the Community (LIMBIC) project, utilised a mixed methods approach to evaluate the impact of the educational initiative on clinical practice and patient outcomes for the management of back pain. Eleven patient representatives, uniquely placed as co-learners, participated with general practice teams learning about quality improvement principles and methods and implementing quality improvements in practice. To build on this learning initiative, the current study used semi-structured interviews to explore the patient representative experience and integrated the findings with existing LIMBIC data. The study illuminated aspects of the service user experience which led to the proposal for a model for co-learning with service users to bring about change. It contributes to the wider knowledge of service user involvement by identifying features of their experience that worked well for them and features that could be improved. The co-learner role is a new direction for service user involvement and represents a new movement in the field of inquiry about opportunities for service user involvement in the future. A debate has been opened about managing expectations of service users and about their potential for leadership and influencing change.
The impact of bank size, capital, and funding structure to systemic risk: Evidence from ASEAN-5 Countries

This paper aims to analyze the role of bank size, capital, and funding structure to the systemic risk in ASEAN-5 countries during period 20042014. The systemic risk is measured by Marginal Expected Shortfall (MES) and SRISK. Using panel regression, we find that systemic risk measured by MES has a positive relationship with bank size, but it has inverse relationship with capital using both MES and SRISK. However, the funding structure has a small effect on systemic risk compare to size and capital. Our findings provide a justification of Basel III’s proposition that bank capital requirement tightening would reduce systemic risk.
