Application of Eco-Sociopreneurship

The global agenda on sustainable development has brought attention to govemment, business, and education institution to initiate the implementation of sustainable development in those sectors. Business sector needs to aware t}te concept of cleaner production, resource efficiency in order to be able to sustain. The Eco-sociopreneurship is one example of implementing sustainable development in business. It addressed sustainable dimensions which are production effrciency, environmental management and human development. The indicators known as compass of sustainability are used to measure and control the implementation of sustainability dimensions. It consists ofNature, Society, Econorny, and Wellbeing. In this paper a best practice of eco-sociopreneurship is discussed

Pollutant Dispersion In Some Fishing Coast Areas Of East Java Indonesia

Keberadaan pantai muncar yang tercemar telah menarik perhatian pemerintah local. Indikator yang dapat menunjukkan adanya pencemaran tersebut ditunjukkan dengan nilai Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Suspended Solid (TSS), N-ammonia, and Fat and Oils. Ada beberapa industri perikanan yang terletak dekat dengan posisi pantai Muncar, Sampel diambil dari beberapa keluaran pembuangan limbah dari beberapa industri yang letak keluaran pembuangan sang at berdekatan di tiga area pantai. Keluaran limbah dari beberapa industri yang diambil mengalir ke sungai yang ada di masing-masing cluster. Tulisan ini menunjukkan model dispersi polutan di tiga sungai yaitu Kalimati, Kali Tratas dan sungai irigasi. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan laju dispersi di sungai irigasi adalah yang tercepat dibandingkan dengan laju dispersi di dua sungai yang lain. Waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk konsentrasi COD dan TSS mencapai nilai 0 ppm , pada jarak I 00 meter ke arah axial dari sumber pembuangan di sungai irigasi adalah 2000 detik. Dibutuhkan waktu yang sama untuk kandungan N-ammonia, minyak dan lemak yang ada di sungai irigasi mencapai nilai 0 ppm,padajarak 60 meter dari sumber pembuangan di sungai irigasi. Dibutuhkan 24500 detik untuk membuat konsentrasi COD,TSS, Nammonia, minyak dan lemak mencapai 0 ppm di Kali Tratas pada jarak 200 meter panjang sungai dan 4 meter Lebar sungai dari sumber pembuangan. Sedangkan, untuk Kalimati, dibutuhkan waktu 24500 detik untuk konsentrasi COD, TSS, N-ammonia, minyak dan lemak untuk mencapai 0 ppm, pada jarak 200 meter panjang sungai dan 2.4 meter Lebar sungai dari sumber pembuangan limbah

Learning to Understand Child-directed and Adult-directed Speech

Speech directed to children differs from adult-directed speech in linguistic aspects such as repetition, word choice, and sentence length, as well as in aspects of the speech signal itself, such as prosodic and phonemic variation. Human language acquisition research indicates that child-directed speech helps language learners. This study explores the effect of child-directed speech when learning to extract semantic information from speech directly. We compare the task performance of models trained on adult-directed speech (ADS) and child-directed speech (CDS). We find indications that CDS helps in the initial stages of learning, but eventually, models trained on ADS reach comparable task performance, and generalize better. The results suggest that this is at least partially due to linguistic rather than acoustic properties of the two registers, as we see the same pattern when looking at models trained on acoustically comparable synthetic speech.Comment: Authors found an error in preprocessing of transcriptions before they were fed to SBERT. After correction, the experiments were rerun. The updated results can be found in this version. Importantly, - Most scores were affected to a small degree (performance was slightly worse). - The effect was consistent across conditions. Therefore, the general patterns remain the sam

Analisis Non Product Output Dalam Rangka Penerapan Produksi Bersih Di Berbagai Industri

Dengan adanya isu perubahan iklim dan degradasi lingkungan yang semakin tajam, maka sektor industri perlu berupaya keras untuk menerapkan produksi bersih, yang akan mengurangi pemakaian energi, air dan bahan baku sehingga mengurangi jumlah limbah yang dihasilkan dan juga mengurangi pemakaian jumlah energi yang dapat berdampak pada pemanasana global yang akhirnya berujung pada perubahan iklim. Non Product Ouput adalah keluaran yang bukan merupakan produk dan dapat dikategorikan limbah yang dapat digunakan ulang, diminimisasi jumlah keluarannya atau diolah. Dengan melakukan identifikasi sumber-sumber pemakaian bahan, energi, air yang berlebih dan mendapatkan alternatif solusi serta mengimplementasikan di proses produksi, maka “double impact” yang timbul adalah efisiensi biaya dan produksi bersih. Dari tiga industri yang masuk kategori “best practice”, penghematan yang dilakukan sampai mencapai miliar rupiah, dan efisiensi yang dihasilkan adalah efisiensi pemakaian energy, bahan baku, bahan penunjang dan air

Water Sustainability: Emerging Trends for Water Quality Management

Water sustainability needs an integrated approach to meet the water need of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own need of water. It includes water security and water scarcity. The water demand is increasing every year, while the planet’s capacity to sustain increasing demands for water is challenged. The main global water problems fall into three categories. The first is too much of it, secondly is too little of it and thirdly, it is too dirty. The first category is due to extensive flooding, the second category is due to serious drought and the third category is due to pollution and misuse of water which needs water quality management. Nowadays, there are 1.2 × 109 people live in areas of water scarcity and 2.6 billion people in global are lacking safe water supply. There are (6 to 8) × 106 humans being are killed each year from water-related disasters and disease. In Indonesia, there is about 37 × 106 people lack access to safe water due to water quality issue. In this paper, emerging trends in water quality management to support water sustainability and the water-energy nexus will be discussed

Religious/secular discourses and practices of good sex

This article focuses on the triangulation of sexuality, religion and secularity in Dutch society by analysing two contemporary case studies. We focus on sexual experiences and practices rather than sexual identities to further understand the constructions of what constitutes 'good' sex. The empirical research is situated in the Netherlands, where the binary of religion and sexual regulation versus secularity and sexual freedom has been dominant in both public and political discourse for a long time. Exploring sexual practices and narratives as central to the constitution of both religious and secular selves, we noted these to be fluctuating, inconsistent and subject to discourses. Our first case study discusses sexual experiences of non-heterosexual Protestant women, whereas the second explores the frequently considered 'neutral' notions of secularity in sexual education. Applying insights from both religious studies and queer studies, we bring the empirical study of sexuality together with the theoretical debates about the conceptualisation of the secular and the religious in contemporary Western Europe.This comparative approach to sexuality not only undermines the culturally presumed exclusive opposition of the secular and the religious but it also provides new empirical contributions for understanding the interactions between sexual practices and sexual discourses

A Neural Circuit Model for Prospective Control of Interceptive Reaching

Two prospective controllers of hand movements in catching -- both based on required velocity control -- were simulated. Under certain conditions, this required velocity controlled to overshoots of the future interception point. These overshoots were absent in pertinent experiments. To remedy this shortcoming, the required velocity model was reformulated in terms of a neural network, the Vector Integration To Endpoint model, to create a Required Velocity Integration To Endpoint modeL Addition of a parallel relative velocity channel, resulting in the Relative and Required Velocity Integration To Endpoint model, provided a better account for the experimentally observed kinematics than the existing, purely behavioral models. Simulations of reaching to intercept decelerating and accelerating objects in the presence of background motion were performed to make distinct predictions for future experiments.Vrije Universiteit (Gerrit-Jan van Jngen-Schenau stipend of the Faculty of Human Movement Sciences); Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences; Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and Office of Naval Research (N00014-95-1-0409
