Distribusi Dalam Islam

Konsep "distribusi" rnenurut pandangan islami alah peningkatan dan pembagian bagi hasil kekayaan agar sirkulasi kekayaan dapat ditingkatkan, sehingga kekayaan yang ada dapat melimpah dengan merata dan tidakhanya beredar diantara golongan tertentu saja. Persoalan yang paling mendasar dalam proses distribusi adalah bagaimana implementasi dalam kehidupan masyarakat, sebab distribusi harus menggunakan prinsip keadilan ekonomi. Peran pemerintah dalam halini sangat menentukan, pemerintah melalui regulasi dan kebijakan yang dibuat harus lebih berpihak pada kepentingan masyarakat

In the natural environment, birds need a nest for their settlement. Nests are made to protect the eggs and young from the threat of predators and weather. In fact, the parent birds feed and raise their children in the nest. The task of collecting the materials and build a nest is usually done in pairs. However, there are also birds that build their nests in groups. There are various types of nest such as cavity, pendulum, cup, platform, and sphere. The shapes that are built depends on their behavior

Food security and policy responses with special reference to the poultry industry

The right to food is the basic tenet of the food security policy of any nation. The guiding framework is based on the World Food Summit 1996 interpretation which stated that: food security as existing when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life (FAO, 2003). Most developing economies had translated their food security drive by a number of policy measures to ensure availability, accessibility, and utilisation. The food security agenda in the twenty-first century faces a totally new set of challenges. Domestically, the competition for resources (land, labour and capital) continues to intensify as urbanisation and industrialisation grow rapidly. Limited investment in food and agriculture have made this sector lagged on all fronts; productivity, efficiency and development. The effect of climate change is showing, aggravated further by unsustainable practices such as overuse of chemical fertilisers, and poor water management. The international market also poses the bigger challenge to developing countries’ food security in particular “extreme volatility”. The course of the global food system is no longer in the main determined by the resolution of demand and supply fundamentals. External shocks are emerging from a complexity of sources and are having a profound influence in causing vulnerability in food systems. The detrimental impact of volatility is further magnified by structural problems such as: poor infrastructure, poor supply response, inefficient market, and susceptibility to climactic disturbances. Malaysia is self-sufficient in some of the food commodities such as poultry meat (128%), eggs (115%), pork (102%), and fisheries (102%). However, she is not self-sufficient in commodities such as rice (71%), fruits (66%), vegetables (41%), beef (29%), mutton (11%) and dairy milk (5%) (MOA, 2010). The food trade deficit grows from year to year, from RM1 billion (US$0.33 billion) in 1990 to RM12 billion (US$ 4 billion) in 2011 (DOS, 2011). Like any other developing countries, Malaysia has enjoyed the benefits of cheaper food imports. This dependence however has its price as it disincentivised the country to seek ways and means to improve productivity and efficiency. Although the country is self-sufficient in poultry meat, there are still pertinent issues with regards to production sustainability, accessibility and utilisation, particularly food safety. The production is mainly based on imported feed. The share of food price to the overall consumer price index is 30.3% which indicates little margin for changes in food prices. Efforts to improve food safety, which is a market failure, must be evaluated in terms of their impact on additional costs and returns to producers, risk reduction, economic gains for the domestic industry, and positive spillovers for food safety in the domestic food system. To the extent that the externality costs are borne by society, it is unlikely that the supply and demand functions will fully embody the economic consequences of the consumption of the food. In the National Agro-food Policy (2011–2020), the overall objective with respect to the poultry industry is to improve productivity and competitiveness to ensure food security for the nation and increase exports and sufficient supply to consumers at reasonable prices. The initiatives include new technology adoption, R&D in feed production, and improve surveillance for disease free poultry production, in particular adoption of good agricultural practices. On top of these, the industry requires better market information system, effective risk management system, and social safety nets

Risk management for safety operation utilizing virtual reality simulation supported by intelligent HAZOP analysis

Ensuring safe operability and minimizing risk is the key component to prevent negative impact in all industries dealing with toxic, reactive, flammable and explosive materials. HAZOP (Hazard and Operability), a preliminary and systematic approach for identifying hazards has been unquestionably successful in reducing incident of hazards by mitigating the consequence of major accident in the industrial process facilities. However, laborious work, time and cost are the shortcoming in performing and maintaining HAZOP analysis. Many research works on HAZOP automation are available, yet the traditional approach is still widely used by plant operators. The traditional method only covers parts and aspects of a specific plant type rather than generalizing to fit many plant types. In HAZOP analysis of chemical process industries (CPI), process analysis can be divided into two groups - defined or routine process, which roughly occupies 60-80% and predefined or non routine process, which occupies 20-60% of HAZOP analysis. Thus leading towards the significance of having safety information as update and accessible as possible. In recent years, computer hardware capable of developing and running virtual reality model has become more affordable for middle and small scale CPI. Consequently, virtual reality has been proposed as a technological breakthrough that holds the power to facilitate analysis. The ability to visualize complex and dynamic systems involving personnel, equipment and layouts during any real operation is a potential advantage of such an approach. With virtual reality supporting HAZOP, analysis which often solely relied on expert imaginative thinking in simulating hazard conditions, will aid understanding, memory retention and create a more interactive analysis experience. In focusing assessment for safety operator and safety decision maker, we present a web-based HAZOP analysis management system (HMS) to help HAZOP team and related individuals to perform revision, tracking and even complete HAZOP analysis without management bureaucracy. Besides, depending solely on expert imaginative thinking of scenario using P&ID, this work will develop a dynamic visual model which brings to the user a different view of consequent and subsequent to an accident and will further enable three dimensional analyses of effects. This approach will prevent ‘miss looks’ due to ‘paper-based’ view. We also present Virtual HAZOP Training system, a risk-managing virtual training concept supported by intelligent HAZOP proposed to eliminate analysis redundancies and bring static ‘paper-based’ analysis to more dynamic and interactive virtual analysis simulation. However, the efficiency of VR simulator depends on the scenario accuracy to the real world that can be simulated. We introduce the system’s artificial intelligent engine responsible for retrieving the most accurate and highest possibility ‘to-happen’ scenario case. A fuzzy – CBR method enables the engine to classify and use real past scenarios combined with suitable parameters in creating a defined scenario. This method resolves issues in balancing between computational complexity and knowledge elicitation Reactor section in a vacuum gas oil hydrodesulphurization (VGO HDS) process is used as the case study to illustrate the performance of the proposed system. The wide usages of HDS unit in the petroleum refining industry play important roles in chemical plant incidents happening worldwide. HAZOP analysis management system in average manages to reduce more than half the time required in performing HAZOP analysis compares to traditional method. With the proposed system, operator is able to optimally use safety information in HMS to prevent common and repetitive mistakes. Virtual process and accident simulator available in virtual HAZOP training system help to improve safety operator estimate overall impact towards equipment, operator and environment during process 20-35% better. This system is expected to be the main foundation for Virtual Reality simulator research in analyzing accident caused by human factor. Asides providing better and healthier working environment, negative profitability impact which influence not only the company that runs it but also the world economy due to byproduct shortage, can be avoided
