O lugar do negro em Juiz de Fora - MG: segregação ambiental, espaço e raça.
Authors: Barreto Ana Claudia De Jesus
Published: December 2018

Ao analisar os padrões de ocupação das cidades brasileiras pode-se constatar a desigualdade social e racial nas configurações espaciais. Majoritariamente, a população negra e pobre ocupa os espaços menos valorizados pelo capital imobiliário, com menor investimento público e outras vezes apresentam risco ambiental, formando um conjunto de fatores que somados marcam a condição e o lugar do negro na cidade, ratificando assim uma segregação nas dimensõesambiental, residencial e racial, dificultando a mobilidade social desse grupoétnico-racial.
Redes de relações Timbira: estudos de caso a partir dos etnônimos em uso pelos Ràmkôkamẽkra/Canela e os Gaviãopyhcop catiji
Authors: Soares Lígia Raquel Rodrigues , Melo Maycon
Published: December 2018

Desde Nimuendajú (1946) é possível comparar várias características que se repetem ou que muito se aproximam entre os povos Timbira por ele pesquisados. Porém, também desde Nimuendajú, sabemos muito pouco da relação que tais povos mantinham entre si e, principalmente, das formas que assumiram estas relações historicamente. Depois de anos de dispersões e reagrupamentos, podemos dizer que os Ràmkôkamẽkra/Canela e os Gavião Pyhcop catiji se denominam como uma “mistura” de povos diferentes que se autoidentificam com o mesmo etnônimo à frente dos não indígenas (cohpẽ, nos Pyhcop catiji; Cupẽ, nos Ràmkôkamẽkra/Canela). Ainda assim, em momentos rituais ou de conflitos entre si acionam em suas narrativas origens, trajetórias e etnônimos que os diferenciam dessa aparente mistura. Por isso, a proposta do artigo é focalizar os etnônimos atualmente em uso pelos Ràmkôkamẽkra/Canela e Gavião Pyhcop catiji, abordando temas como circulação e apropriação de pessoas e a descrição das redes de relações e formas de socialidade que tais redes sugerem.

Authors: Almeida Mônica Ribeiro Moraes de , Figueiredo Jr João Damasceno Gonçalves
Published: December 2018

O presente trabalho visa apresentar a trajetória dos Krenyê, um povo indígena historicamente deslocado de seu território. Esta situação provocou uma série de processos diferenciados de territorializações e novos deslocamentos, que todavia não foram capazes de dirimir o sentido de território impresso nos modos de criar, fazer e viver dos Krenyê. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar esses diferentes processos, que marcam a história desse povo indígena, identificando de que modo eles vão construindo tecituras nos diferentes trajetos percorridos. Assim, retendemos ressaltar o caráter histórico e transitório das identidades e as questões políticas e estratégicas colocadas pela necessidade de assegurar o reconhecimento e a conquista de demandas políticas e territoriais.
Entre santos e encantados: o universo religioso e o princípio da dádiva no bumba meu boi do Maranhão
Authors: Cano Maria da Conceição Salazar
Published: December 2018

Conhecido nacionalmente como a manifestação cultural mais emblemática do Maranhão, o bumba meu boi destaca-se pela dimensão lúdica e pelo caráter religioso, o qual pode ser observado tanto em suas relações com o catolicismo popular, principalmente na devoção a São João, quanto em suas conexões com as religiões de matriz africana. Inseridas nessa religiosidade, as promessas e obrigações para com santos e encantados destacam-se, pois assumemproporções variadas e podem manifestar o sistema de trocas simbólicas existente entre brincantes e divindades. Estas relações evidenciam, através de formas criativas de devoção, a disponibilidade sincrética característica do ethos do bumba meu boi e revelam a sua atuação em dimensões diversas, reinventando tradições e impulsionando-o a cruzar fronteiras e transpor barreiras que separam mundos e crenças. Neste sentido, considerando os universos religiosos distintos, pretendo compreender como estes sistemas de crenças se conectam, se cruzam e se interceptam no bumba meu boi.

TRACING THE ORIGIN OF JHAROKHA WINDOW USED IN INDIAN SUBCONTINENT
Authors: Zulfiqar Zain
Published: December 2018

The Jharokha is a distinctive feature of the architecture of Indian Sub-continent of medieval times. The study of the built heritage features is a way to discover and know about the old culture and society. A Jharokha is an oriel window projecting from upper storeys of a building used in medieval Indian architecture. Jharokha window projecting from the wall face of the building in an upper storey overlooking a street, market or any other open space. This study aims to trace the origin of traditional Jharokha window used in Indian subcontinent. In order to do it, the available data and literature have been carefully reviewed and studied to draw inferences. This study shows that the trend of a protruding window similar to Jharokhas seems to be present in different regions with their regional architectural flavor. The Indian architecture has influenced by various empires, and a lot of external influences came to this region because of the trade route. The external and regional influences have been studied to investigate the Jharokha window origin and form. The 3rd century BC balconies in Mauriyan Empire seems to amalgamate with the windows of Islamic architecture and developed finally into a local window form in the shape of Jharokha. The style and features of Jharokha vary concerning the local material and techniques available. The different era and different regions adopted this window form according to their own needs and aesthetics.

Authors: Mubarok Jalaluddin , Mutiara Elok , Setiyowati Ernaning
Published: December 2018

Tahfidz Islamic boarding school is a traditional boarding school that focuses on learning Islam and Quran. Recently, the need for this kind of school for junior and senior high school is increasing in Indonesia. One of the cities that has a high demand for that kind of education is Nganjuk. Nganjuk has many traditional Tahfidz boarding schools that are already running for decades. The design of the existing tahfidz schools is not suitable for modern life, while people nowadays search the school in a contemporary design. There is a paradox in this statement that people want a modern design for a traditional education method. The extending tradition design approach is the appropriate answer to this problem. This study aims to find the proper design for tahfidz boarding school using extending tradition design approach. The method for this design approach used tradition as the basic idea for the design and modified it to be suitable for modern society. The concept of the design is a tradition of togetherness, the culture of continuity, and tradition of socializing. The idea is appropriate for the tahfidz and the Islamic tradition values in modern life.

Authors: Fadlia Faradilla , Ramadani Ismar
Published: December 2018

This paper seeks to see how the Qanun Jinayah discriminates against women who are victims of rape. In Qanun Jinayah in article 52, paragraph 1, explain that the victim of rape must include evidence at the time of report. The Qanun Jinayah clearly makes a double burden on the victims where women victims of rape must present evidence and witnesses. Whereas in the criminal law (KUHP), evidence and witnesses are the responsibility of the investigator. This study seeks to see how the discriminatory impacts experienced by victims (women) after the Qanun Jinayah is implemented. Furthermore, this paper uses qualitative method with in-depth interview. The hypothesis of this paper is that Qanun Jinayah has discriminated against women especially the victims of rape and this allows the occurrence of injustice and violation of human rights.
Unsafe River Bank Houses? A Legal Reflection on Issues of Freedom from Poverty, Development Programmes and Accountability Mechanisms in Indonesia
Authors: Kusumawati Erna Dyah
Published: December 2018

Millions of the most deprived people worldwide live in slums with a lack of access to adequate water, hygiene and sanitation. Inadequate housing and living conditions increase vulnerability to other problems. For example, people living on the river banks in Jakarta regularly experience flooding due to adverse environmental conditions.  Not only do the river bank settlements suffer from floods, but also other settlements as well as offices in Jakarta encounter similar effects. These regular floods cause billions of Indonesian Rupiah’s (IDR) in damages annually. As part of flood prevention programmes, the Jakarta government has evacuated and emptied the river bank settlements and has relocated the residents to rented, public high-rise housing provided by the municipality. This article will not address the legal issues of the relocation. Rather, it will examine whether relocation and resettlement due to development programmes can be addressed from a different perspective focusing on human rights as a means to eliminate poverty. It will also investigate the available accountability mechanisms at both the international and national level. Furthermore, it will assess whether these mechanisms can be employed to address the effect of development programmes which disproportionally affect people living on river banks. This study will use the classic legal research method, i.e. the normative legal method, to answer the research questions. In addition, it will also employ the human rights-based approach in assessing the regulation and policies adopted by the Indonesian authorities. The final part of this article will provide conclusions and recommendations for policymakers to address the societal problems by employing the human rights approach in tackling poverty and reducing the negative impacts of developments.
Pancasila and Pragmatism: Protection or Pencitraan for Refugees in Indonesia?
Authors: Gordyn Carly
Published: December 2018

Since the 1970s Indonesia has been a transit country for refugees searching for resettlement. While it has not signed the 1951 Refugee Convention, Indonesia does allow the UNHCR to operate within its borders. Furthermore, Indonesian President Joko Widodo recently pledged humanitarian assistance to Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. This paper asks what motivates Indonesia to assist refugees, despite not being a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention? What principles underlie Indonesia’s approach to refugees? Based on interviews conducted with government officials, practitioners, activists and academics in Indonesia, this paper finds that Indonesia is guided by Pancasila (Indonesia’s state ideology) and the preamble to its constitution in playing a humanitarian role in international society. At the same time, however, this humanitarian imperative is in tension with pragmatism. This means that there are a number of problems for refugee protection in Indonesia. This paper argues that while Indonesia is driven by humanitarian ideals in assisting refugees, it must sign the 1951 Refugee Convention to endorse its commitment to Pancasila and the preamble to the constitution, otherwise it risks using these foundations as simply pencitraan, or ‘window dressing’.

Keywords: Indonesia, refugees, Pancasila

Purpose: To create a highly balanced comparison of ab interno trabeculectomy (Trabectome, AIT) and trabecular bypass stenting (iStent, TBS).Setting: Eye and Ear Institute, Pittsburgh, Ross Eye Institute, Buffalo, and Glaucoma Associates of Texas, Dallas, USA.Design: Retrospective Exact Matching analysis.Methods: AIT and TBS patients were included from three large glaucoma practices. The primary outcome measure was the unmedicated IOP ≤ 21 mmHg at 2-year follow-up visit. A secondary measure was unmedicated IOP reduction ≥ 20% at 2 years. Patients were matched by baseline IOP, the number of glaucoma medications and glaucoma type using Exact Matching and by age using Nearest Neighbor matching. Patients without a close match were excluded. All surgeries were combined with phacoemulsification. Results: 154 AIT and 110 TBS eyes were analyzed. 48 AIT patients were exactly matched to 48 TBS patients. Both groups had a baseline IOP of 15.3±3.1 mmHg. At 24 months, the mean IOP was 13.9±3.3 for AIT versus 16.8±2.8 mmHg for TBS (p=0.04), while the number of medications was 0.7±1.0 for AIT versus 1.7±1.2 for TBS (p=0.04). The proportion of subjects achieving IOP ≤ 21 mmHg without medications at 24 months was 53% in AIT versus 16.6% in TBS (P < 0.05). At 24-month follow up 17.6% of patients in AIT had ≥ 20% IOP reduction without medication versus no patient in TBS. Conclusions: An Exact Matching comparison of AIT and TBS demonstrated greater IOP reduction with fewer medications in AIT.
Life Emerged as the “Protein/Metabolism-First” Theory Expects
Authors: Ikehara Kenji
Published: December 2018

The origin of life has not been solved as yet, in spit of the time passage more than thirty years from publication of RNA world hypothesis by W. Gilbert (1986), which is based on the “gene/replicator--first” theory. On the contrary, I have proposed [GADV]-protein world hypothesis (GADV hypothesis), assuming that life emerged from [GADV]-protein world, which is grounded on the “protein/metabolism-first” theory. However, two weak points of protein world hypothesis, (i) protein cannot be produced without gene, and (ii) protein cannot be self-replicated, have been frequently pointed out by supporters of RNA world hypothesis. Then, I examined whether the two weak points could be overcome by GADV hypothesis or not. From the results, it was confirmed that (i) [GADV]-protein could be pseudo-replicated in the absence of gene owing to protein 0th-order structure or [GADV]-amino acids, and (ii) the replication ability is not always required from the beginning but it is sufficient to acquire it at some time point until the emergence of life. Thus, it was concluded that life emerged as [GADV]-protein world hypothesis, which is grounded on the “protein/metabolism-first” theory, expects.
Perception of Urban Trees by Polish Tree Professionals vs. Non-Professionals
Authors: Suchocka Marzena , Jankowski Paweł , Błaszczyk Magdalena
Published: December 2018

Sustainable urban forests require tree acceptance and support. Two groups of respondents: professionals working in urban green areas and individuals with no professional connection with trees revealed their attitudes towards trees by assessing statements in a survey questionnaire. Tree benefits were perceived as much more important than the annoyance. However, 6% of the non-professionals found only negative aspects of trees, proving to be arboriphobes. No arboriphobes and no “tree sceptics” were among the professionals. Around 40% of the respondents in the two groups found the number of trees in the surrounding areas too low. The nuisance caused by trees was seen as more disturbing by younger and lower educated professionals. Women tended to assess trees as more attractive and as having a stronger influence on social relations than men. Men dominated the “tree indifferent” group. The attractiveness of trees and their impact on social relations were related to the place of residence and the level of education among the non-professionals. The level of education of the non-professionals was also connected to being clustered into one of the four abovementioned groups of respondents. A majority of medium and big city dwellers as well as a minority of villagers were in the “tree liking” cluster.

Authors: Uddin Ashraf , Upama Mushfika Baishakhi , Yi Haimang , Duan Leiping
Published: December 2018

Photovoltaic is one of the promising renewable sources of power to meet the future challenge of energy need. Organic and perovskite thin film solar cells are an emerging cost-effective photovoltaic technology because of low-cost manufacturing processing and a light-weight. The main barrier of commercial use of organic and perovskite solar cells is the poor stability of devices. Encapsulation of these photovoltaic devices is one of the best ways to address this stability issue and enhance the device lifetime by employing materials and structures that possess high barrier performance for oxygen and moisture. The aim of this review paper is to find different encapsulation materials and techniques for perovskite and organic solar cells according to the present understanding of reliability issues. It discusses the available encapsulate materials and their utility in limiting chemicals such as water vapour, oxygen penetration. It also covers the mechanisms of mechanical degradation within the individual layers and solar cell as a whole, and possible obstacles to their application in both organic and perovskite solar cells. The contemporary understanding of these degradation mechanisms, their interplay and their initiating factors (both internal and external) are also discussed.

Some String Cosmological Models in Bianchi Type III Space-Time with Magnetic Field and Vacuum Energy Density
Authors: Bali Raj , Bola Subhash
Published: December 2018

Bianchi type III string cosmological models (massive and geometric) in presence of magnetic field with vacuum energy density following the techniques used by Letelier (1979) and Stachel (1980) are obtained. We find that the energy conditions (dominant as well as weak) given by Hawking and Ellis (1974) are satisfied for the models. Also the solutions obtained satisfy conservation equation for massive string with magnetic field and vacuum energy density. The models in general, represent anisotropic phase of space-time due to the presence of string. However, the models isotropize at late time and in special case. It has also been shown that the magnetic field is directly linked with the matter. For string dust model, the state finder parameters {r,s} are in excellent agreement with Planck results (Sahni et al. (2003)). The physical and geometrical aspects of the models with special cases are also discussed.

Authors: Ojulari Oyindamola Vivian , Lee Seul Gi , Nam Ju-Ock
Published: December 2018

Obesity is a condition associated with the accumulation of excess fat in the body, energy imbalance, lipogenesis etc. which increases adipose tissue mass through adipogenesis and probes a health risk. Its prevalence has become a large burden on the world at large. One of the solutions to tackling obesity is with the use of bioactive compounds. We critically examined the effectiveness of hibiscus sabdariffa (HS) on various parameters associated with development of obesity such as; effect of HSE on body weight and energy expenditure, effect of HSE on fat accumulation, effect of HSE on lipase inhibition, effect of HSE on adipocyte differentiation/adipogenesis. This review has gathered reports on the various anti-obesity effects of HS bioactives in cell and animal models, as well as in humans. Reports have shown that hibiscus sabdariffa derived bioactives are potent in the treatment of obesity with evident reduction in body weight, inhibition of lipid accumulation and suppression of adipogenesis through PPARγ pathway and other transcriptional factors.
Influence of Abrasive Waterjet Parameters on the Cutting and Drilling of CFRP/UNS A97075 and UNS A97075/CFRP Stacks
Authors: Ruíz García Raúl , Mayuet Pedro F. , Vázquez Martínez Juan Manuel , Salguero Gómez Jorge
Published: December 2018

The incorporation of plastic matrix composite materials into structural elements of the aeronautical industry requires contour machining and drilling processes along with metallic materials prior to final assembly operations. These operations are usually performed using conventional techniques, but they present problems derived from the nature of each material that avoid implementing One Shot Drilling strategies that work separately. In this work, the study focuses on the evaluation of the feasibility of Abrasive Waterjet Machining (AWJM) as a substitute for conventional drilling for stacks formed of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) and aluminum alloy UNS A97050 through the study of the influence of abrasive mass flow rate, traverse feed rate and water pressure in straight cuts and drills. For the evaluation of the straight cuts, Stereoscopic Optical Microscopy (SOM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) techniques are used inspection techniques have been used. In addition, the kerf taper through the proposal of a new method and the surface quality in different cutting regions have been evaluated. For the study of holes, the macrogeometric deviations of roundness, cylindricity and straightness have been evaluated. Thus, this experimental procedure reveals the conditions that minimize deviations, defects, and damage in straight cuts and holes obtained by AWJM.
An Efficient Image Retrieval Based on Fusion of Low-Level Visual Features
Authors: Nazir Atif , Nazir Kashif
Published: December 2018

Due to an increase in the number of image achieves, Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) has gained attention for research community of computer vision. The image visual contents are represented in a feature space in the form of numerical values that is considered as a feature vector of image. Images belonging to different classes may contain the common visuals and shapes that can result in the closeness of computed feature space of two different images belonging to separate classes. Due to this reason, feature extraction and image representation is selected with appropriate features as it directly affects the performance of image retrieval system. The commonly used visual features are image spatial layout, color, texture and shape. Image feature space is combined to achieve the discriminating ability that is not possible to achieve when the features are used separately. Due to this reason, in this paper, we aim to explore the  low-level feature combination that are based on color and shape features. We selected color moments and color histogram to represent color while shape is represented by using invariant moments. We selected this combination, as these features are reported intuitive, compact and robust for image representation. We evaluated the performance of our proposed research by using the Corel, Coil and Ground Truth (GT) image datasets. We evaluated the proposed low-level feature fusion by calculating the precision, recall and time required for feature extraction. The precision, recall and feature extraction values obtained from the proposed low-level feature fusion outperforms the existing research of CBIR.
Chemometric Characterization of Chemlali Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Adulteration Mixed with Soybean Oil, Corn Oil and Sunflower Oil
Authors: Drira Malika , Jabeur Hazem , Bouaziz Mohamed
Published: December 2018

Nowadays, the fingerprinting methodologies of olive oils are dominated. They consider the entire analytical signal, which is acquired and recorded by the analytical instrument, directly from olive oil or isoleted fraction, i,e chromatogram. The shape and intensity of the recorded signal the instrumental fingerprint from the whole olive oil adulteration. Therefore, the methodolygy is based on the chemical composition (Fatty acids and Triglycerides compositions). However, Fatty acids composition as an indicator of purity suggests that linolenic acid content could be used as a parameter for the detection of extra virgin olive oil fraud with 5% of soybean oil. The adulteration could also be detected by the increase of the trans-fatty acid contents with 3% of soybean oil, 2% of corn oil and 4% of sunflower oil. The use of the ∆ECN42 proved to be effective in the Chemlali extra-virgin olive oil adulteration even at low levels: 1% of sunflower oil, 3% of soybean oil and 3% of corn oil. Therefore, compared to classical methods PCA and new approach of using LDA application could represent an alternative and innovative tool for faster and cheaper evaluation of extra-virgin olive oil adulteration.

Published: December 2018

Lactobacillus plantarum is a bacterium with promising applications to the food industry and agriculture and probiotic properties. So far, bacteriophages of this bacterium have been moderately addressed. We examined the morphology and diversity of five new L. plantarum phages via transmission electron microscopy, whole genome shotgun sequencing and in silico protein predictions. Moreover, we looked into their phylogeny and their potential genomic similarities to other complete phage genome records through extensive nucleotide and protein comparisons. The five phages share a high degree of similarity among them and belong to the family Myoviridae. They have a long genome of 137.973-141.344 bp, a G/C content of 36,3-36,6% that is quite distinct from their host’s, and, surprisingly, seven to 15 tRNAs. Only an average 35/174 of their predicted genes were assigned a function. Overall, the comparative analyses unraveled considerable genetic diversity for our five L. plantarum phages. Hence, the new genus “Semelevirus” was proposed, which comprises exclusively the five phages. This novel lineage of Lactobacillus phages provides further insight into the genetic heterogeneity of phages infecting Lactobacillus sp. Our results on Lactobacillus phages have a potential value for the development of anti-phage strategies as well as for the manipulation of L. plantarum fermentations.

On Predicting the Seismic Response of Acceleration-Sensitive Non-Structural Components in Buildings
Authors: Lima Carmine , Martinelli Enzo
Published: December 2018

This paper is intended at highlighting the main mechanical parameters controlling the behavior of the so-called "acceleration-sensitive" Non-Structural Components (NSCs). In the first part a short review of the current state of knowledge and the critical issues related to the prediction of the seismic response of NSCs is reported. Then, the paper presents the results of a numerical parametric analysis intended to capture the key features of the dynamic response of a two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) system which is supposed to be representative of both the main structure and the "non-structural" component (NSC). Particularly, it allows to simulate the coupled behaviour of both main structure and NSC and evaluating their response. The main parameters controlling the dynamic response of NSCs emerge from this study, which could pave the way towards formulating more mechanically consistent relationships for evaluating the maximum accelerations induced by seismic shakings on NSCs.

Corruption in Indonesia is increasingly structured and systemic. Worse yet, the corruption was fertile in sub-law enforcement agencies. This paper analyzes why corruption is so systemic in the legal system in Indonesia and how solution of Islam in eradicating corruption. This research was a normative-legal research. The results indicate that corruption occurred systemically in Indonesia due to secularization and capitalization in understanding the living system as embraced by the Republic of Indonesia, which resulted in bad law system both the substance, structure and legal culture, and bad people). The solution of Sharia Islam to eradicate corruption by creating a devotion of community (law awareness) based on religious values. In addition, with a decent salary system, appropriate penalties, the implementation of reverse evidence system and the exemplary leadership, corruption problems can be overcome and a clean government can be realized.
The Implementation of Receivables Write-Off of the State-Owned Banks in Indonesia
Authors: Renjaan Henrikus
Published: December 2018

This research reviews two issues: Firstly, it describes the imple-mentation of the receivable write-off of State-Owned Bank (BUMN Banks) in Indonesia, and secondly, it describes the relevance of the independence principles of directors and Good Corporate Governance to the implementation of receivables write-off of state-owned banks in Indonesia. This research uses normative and empirical juridical approaches. The normative approach includes research on the independence principles of directors and Good Corporate Governance to the implementation of receivables write-off of the state-owned bank, while empirical research is conducted to determine the process of claim abolishment by state-owned banks in Indonesia. The outcomes of the research indicate that the unresolved legal problem related to the state financial position in the state-owned banks due to conflict of public and private law norms causes the directors of state-owned banks have not dared to do the process of claim abolishment. Therefore, consi-dering that the principle of autonomy of directors and good corporate governance is enforced properly, no one is concerned about the risk of corporate policies related to the process of claim abolishment from a state-owned bank because, in its very essence, it is a Business Judgment Rule in the banking business practice.

Published: December 2018

Indonesia is known as one of the richest countries for its biodiversity. Plants, animals, and forest are very diverse in every region in Indonesia. Unfortunately, from time to time the numbers of biodiversity have been decreased along with the development of Indonesia. Nowadays, numbers of Sumatera Tigers and Orang Utan are not more than 400 since they were traded, captured, and killed in the name of economic development. Even wildlife habitat, forest, were converted to non-forestry use. Theoretically, Indonesia has Conser-vation Act which is the Law Number 5 of 1990 on Conservation of Biodiversity and Ecosystem in which providing protection to the biodiversity. However, this law mostly talks about conservation system rather than providing legal protection to the wildlife and its habitat. In addition, the law seems to stand on its own, meaning only Biodiversity Law regulates protection to wildlife. Other acts like Forestry law, Environmental law, Plantation law, and Mining law do not provide wildlife protection. While both flora and fauna are the most vulnerable elements affected by activities which are regulated by those laws. The existence of the conditions above indicates that the legal protection of wildlife needs to be improved. One of the improvement efforts is to reform the Indonesian wildlife protection law. The law reform of Indonesia wildlife protection can be done through comparative approach toward legal framework of wildlife protection of Indonesian and United States.

This article looks at the application of present Indian payment system policies and regulatory model on virtual-currency in India. In fact, simply banning cryptocurrency in India would not serve the purpose of legislature and Reserve Bank of India (RBI); rather it will boost cryptocurrency frauds in India due to absence of any law. The present article analysis shows that there is an ample scope within the present models and policies with necessary amendments to facilitate the regulation of virtual-currency in India. The analysis also suggests new model regulation on cryptocurrency which shall constitute the basic model regulations in India to govern cryptocurrency technology and products. Author uses the Banking Regulation Act as a model, regulating all types of new fintech products such as cryptocurrency, Bitcoin & business activity, its intermediaries, exchanges, customer protection in robust and transparent fashion in India.

Published: December 2018

Makalah ini mengangkat masalah tentang model matematika untuk kasus kecanduan terhadap rokok. Masalah ini sebelumnya telah diteliti oleh Castillo-Garsow, Jordan-Salivia dan Rodriguez-Herrera (2000), tetapi tanpa mempertimbangkan faktor gender. Dalam tulisan ini penelitian dibatasi dalam populasi tertutup dan populasi dibagi berdasarkan faktor gender, yaitu populasi pria dan wanita. Tiap populasi dibagi menjadi tiga sub populasi, yaitu perokok potensial, perokok (perokok berat) dan perokok yang berhenti merokok. Analisis kualitatif dan kuantitatif dilakukan untuk mengetahui kelakuan solusi model, dan seberapa cepat laju perubahan jumlah perokok jika dilakukan kontrol dan jika tidak dilakukan kontrol.

Pada skripsi ini akan di kaji analisis kovariansi rancangan petak terbagi (split plot design) pada Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) dengan satu data hilang. Analisis kovariansi pada rancangan petak terbagi dilakukan melalui dua analisis yaitu analisis petak utama dan analisis anak petak. Sebagai aplikasi selanjutnya diberikan studi kasus pada percobaan dengan satu data hilang. Dari  hasil analisis rancangan petak terbagi pada Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) dengan satu data hilang diperoleh nilai koefisien keragaman dari analisis variansi lebih kecil dibandingkan analisis kovariansi. Hal ini menunjukkan analisis variansi lebih baik dibandingkan analisis kovariansi pada rancangan petak terbagi (split plot design) pada Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) dengan satu data hilang.

Authors: Lainun Hanifah , Tinungki Georgina M , Amran Amran
Published: December 2018

Metode Kuadrat Terkecil (MKT) merupakan metode penduga parameter yang paling banyak digunakan pada analisis regresi. MKT merupakan metode penduga parameter tak bias yang baik selama asumsi komponen galatnya terpenuhi. Namun dalam aplikasinya sering ditemui terjadinya pelanggaran asumsi. Diantaranya, pelanggaran asumsi galat berdistribusi normal disebabkan adanya outlier pada data amatan. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan suatu metode yang kekar terhadap keberadaan outlier. Metode pendugaan parameter yang kekar terhadap keberadaan outlier pada regresi linier diantaranya ialah penduga  M, penduga S, dan penduga MM yang masing-masing memiliki keunggulan dari segi efisiensi dan breakdown point yang tinggi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk membandingkan penduga M, S, dan MM dalam menduga parameter regresi pada analisis regresi linier sederhana terhadap keberadaan outlier menggunakan data simulasi. Simulasi dilakukan untuk ukuran sampel yang berbeda (20, 60, dan 120) ketika terdapat 20% dan 45% outlier pada variabel bebas dan variabel terikat. Metode terbaik ialah metode dengan Standard Error (SE) dan Mean Square Error (MSE) terkecil. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa penduga MM lebih baik dibandingkan penduga M dan penduga S.
