DATA SYNCHRONIZATION MODEL TO IMPROVE THE SUPERVISION OF LAND OWNERSHIP FOR CITIZENS TOWARDS THE INDONESIAN AGRARIAN REFORM AGENDA
Authors: Et al. AGUS SEKARMADJI
Published: February 2021

The change of ownership and control of agricultural and non-agricultural land for all Indonesian people is a mandate of Article 7, 10 and 17 of Act Number 5 Year 1960 under the Indonesian Agrarian Reform. In practice, however, people can own property rights beyond the stipulated limit. The article aims to improve a fair distribution of land through the proposed model of supervision and property rights land tenure reforms. The data synchronization developed through an online system can be the tool to improve the supervision and management of land ownership and tenures.

The methods used are the statute approach, socio-legal approach, and case study approach. The statute approach analysed existing statutes regarding land and land rights in Indonesia, the result is further observed in practice through the socio-legal approach by observing the data and figures in local regions. The case study approach reviews past judgments in the matter to examine the consistency and sufficiency of prevailing laws and policy and the direction of its developments.

This study found that there is still an ineffective implementation of the law resulting in people having lands more than their limit. The proposed data synchronization model developed through an online system can solve this problem by harmonizing data in local regions with the existing data at the Civil Registry Office and the Tax Office.

This study provides an essential contribution to the existing literature of Indonesian Agrarian Reform as well as a guideline for policymakers.

Authors: Muhammad Asyraf Haziq Rossli Kamaruzzaman Muhammad, Erlane K Ghani,
Published: February 2021

This study examines the factors influencing academic fraud based on two components of the fraud triangle theory in a faculty of a university from the perspective of students. Specifically, this study examine whether pressure and opportunity increase the students’ propensity to commit academic fraud. Using questionnaire survey on 227 respondents, this study shows a positive relationship between pressure and academic fraud. Among the reasons for the presence of pressure are wanting to help a friend, not likely to get caught, assessment being too difficult and pressure to get good grades. This study also shows a positive relationship between opportunity and academic fraud. Among the reasons are little or no discussion in class on academic fraud with specific examples and explanations of the consequences and, little or no reference being made to the University’s policy on academic fraud in the syllabus and, students do not sign a statement that their work is their own. The findings of this study may enhance the readers understanding toward the relationship between the variables. This is imperative for a university especially the management to consider academic fraud as a serious issue. It is hope that the faculty can devise appropriate policies and procedures or improve its existing system to minimise the instance of academic fraud in the future, as well as meeting its organisational goals.

The “Outcome-Based Education” (OBE) model is being adopted at a fast pace in education institutions. it's considered an enormous breakthrough to enhance education across the world . Outcome-based education (OBE) may be a student-centered instruction model that focuses on measuring student performance through outcomes. Outcomes include knowledge, skills, and attitudes. there's a hidden contradiction within the projection and implementation of the OBE. One results in Multidisiciplinarity and therefore the other results in OBE. At first, we expect freedom and in other structured progress is predicted . One results in democratic knowledge and therefore the other results in capitalist knowledge management. Our education is sort of a lady with over ornaments who is unable to steer simply because of the load she carries of the ornaments. Technology silences the mind and not questioning a mind and thus this information society or knowledge society is ignorant and this may come whenever and wherever we mention mass education and not class education.

A study of digression as a narrative technique in Henry Fielding’s Joseph Andrews
Authors: Phukan Dristi Dhekial
Published: February 2021

Digression is a notable literary device that conveys a temporary departure from the main part of the narrative to focus on unrelated issues explaining the background details. However, after the temporary move, the author returns to the central topic at the end of the narrative. In his remarkable novel Joseph Andrews, Henry Fielding used various digressive or interpolated materials that add variety to the main plot. Here, Fielding deploys digression not as an exaggerated statement but rather as a part and parcel of the main plot. Such digressive or interpolated materials were expected to be related to the main plot by theme, moral, symbolic or ironic inverse relationship.

Corneal stroma-derived mesenchymal stem cells (CS-MSCs) are mainly distributed in the anterior part of the corneal stroma near the corneal limbal stem cells (LSCs). CS-MSCs are stem cells with self-renewal and multidirectional differentiation potential. A large amount of data confirmed that CS-MSCs can be induced to differentiate into functional keratocytes in vitro, which is the motive force for maintaining corneal transparency and producing a normal corneal stroma. CS-MSCs are also an important component of the limbal microenvironment. Furthermore, they are of great significance in the reconstruction of ocular surface tissue and tissue engineering for active biocornea construction. In this paper, the localization and biological characteristics of CS-MSCs, the use of CS-MSCs to reconstruct a tissue-engineered active biocornea, and the repair of the limbal and matrix microenvironment by CS-MSCs are reviewed, and their application prospects are discussed.

The classical Otsu method is a common tool in document image binarization. Often, two classes, text and background, are imbalanced, which means that the assumption of the classical Otsu method is not met. In this work, we considered the imbalanced pixel classes of background and text: weights of two classes are different, but variances are the same. We experimentally demonstrated that the employment of a criterion that takes into account the imbalance of the classes' weights, allows attaining higher binarization accuracy. We described the generalization of the criteria for a two-parametric model, for which an algorithm for the optimal linear separation search via fast linear clustering was proposed. We also demonstrated that the two-parametric model with the proposed separation allows increasing the image binarization accuracy for the documents with a complex background or spots.

We have shown that when sharply focusing a linearly polarized optical vortex with topological charge 2, in the near-axis region of the focal plane, not only does a reverse energy flow (the negative on-axis projection of the Poynting vector) occur, but also the right-handed circular polariza-tion of light. Moreover, due to spin-orbital angular momentum conversion, the on-axis polarization vector and the transverse energy flow rotate around the optical axis in the same direction (counter-clockwise). If an absorbing spherical microparticle is put in the focus on the optical axis, it will rotate around the axis and around its center of mass counterclockwise. Numerical simulation results confirms the theoretical predictions.

The scope of uses of automated document recognition has extended and as a result, recognition techniques that do not require specialized equipment have become more relevant. Among such techniques, document recognition using mobile devices is of interest. However, it is not always possible to ensure controlled capturing conditions and, consequentially, high quality of input images. Unlike specialized scanners, mobile cameras allow using a video stream as an input, thus obtaining several images of the recognized object, captured with various characteristics. In this case, a problem of combining the information from multiple input frames arises. In this paper, we propose a weighing model for the process of combining the per-frame recognition results, two approaches to the weighted combination of the text recognition results, and two weighing criteria. The effectiveness of the proposed approaches is tested using datasets of identity documents captured with a mobile device camera in different conditions, including perspective distortion of the document image and low lighting conditions. The experimental results show that the weighting combination can improve the text recognition result quality in the video stream, and the per-character weighting method with input image focus estimation as a base criterion allows one to achieve the best results on the datasets analyzed.

During the process of document recognition in a video stream using a mobile device camera, the image quality of the document varies greatly from frame to frame. Sometimes recognition system is required not only to recognize all the specified attributes of the document, but also to select final document image of the best quality. This is necessary, for example, for archiving or providing various services; in some countries it can be required by law. In this case, recognition system needs to assess the quality of frames in the video stream and choose the “best” frame. In this paper we considered the solution to such a problem where the “best” frame means the presence of all specified attributes in a readable form in the document image. The method was set up on a private dataset, and then tested on documents from the open MIDV-2019 dataset. A practically applicable result was obtained for use in recognition systems.

Many recent studies have focused on developing image reconstruction algorithms in optical systems based on flat optics. These studies demonstrate the feasibility of applying a combination of flat optics and the reconstruction algorithms in real vision systems. However, additional causes of quality loss have been encountered in the development of such systems. This study investigates the influence on the reconstructed image quality of such factors as limitations of mass production technology for diffractive optics, lossy video stream compression artifacts, and specificities of a neural network approach to image reconstruction. The paper offers an end-to-end deep learning-based image reconstruction framework to compensate for the additional factors of quality losing. It provides the image reconstruction quality sufficient for applied vision systems.
