ABSTRACTCompetition in the flat glass market in Indonesia since 2015 has been increasingly severe because much-imported glass has entered Indonesia. The rapid rate of imported glass entering Indonesia is caused by the enactment of the free trade pact in southeast Asia and secondly because of the expansion of the Chinese glass industry that built new factories in the Southeast Asia region, especially in Malaysia. Most of the imported glass entering Indonesia is commodity glass with a lower price compared to local products, while the local industry has difficulties in competing for the price because the production cost is already high. This research aims to explore the basic concepts of strategies carried out by local flat glass companies in the domestic market competition based on the value innovation concept in the framework of “Blue Ocean Shift”. The method is an exploratory case study draws on an in-depth field study conducted in a local flat glass company based in Indonesia. The results show that the Blue Ocean Strategy is more appropriate to be used in the face of competition in the flat glass market compared to the Porter generic strategy used by PT Alpha Glass today. Thus, this research is expected to provide insight into the implementation of the Blue Ocean Strategy in the glass industry comprehensively to assist Alpha Glass in determining future strategic directions.Keywords: Value Innovation, Flat Glass Industry, Blue Ocean Shift ABSTRAKPersaingan di pasar kaca lembaran di Indonesia sejak tahun 2015 semakin berat dengan masuknya kaca impor dari luar. Pesatnya laju impor kaca yang masuk ke Indonesia disebabkan oleh setidaknya dua faktor, pertama karena diberlakukannya pakta perdagangan bebas di Asia Tenggara dan kedua karena ekspansi pabrik kaca China yang membangun pabrik-pabrik baru di wilayah Asia Tenggara, khususnya di Malaysia. Sebagian besar kaca impor yang masuk ke Indonesia adalah kaca komoditas dengan harga lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan produk lokal, sementara industri kaca lembaran lokal mengalami kesulitan untuk menurunkan harga karena struktur biaya produksi sudah terlanjur tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi konsep dasar strategi yang dilakukan oleh perusahaan kaca lembaran lokal dalam menghadapi persaingan di pasar kaca lembaran berdasarkan konsep inovasi nilai dalam kerangka "pergeseran samudra biru". Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi kasus dengan  melakukan studi lapangan secara mendalam pada perusahaan kaca lembaran lokal yang berbasis di Indonesia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Strategi Samudra Biru lebih tepat digunakan dalam menghadapi persaingan di pasar kaca lembaran saat ini dibandingkan dengan strategi generik Porter yang saat ini digunakan oleh PT Alpha Glass. Dengan demikian penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan wawasan mengenai implementasi Strategi Samudra Biru pada industri kaca secara lengkap dan komprehensif bagi manajemen Alpha Glass dalam menentukan arah strategi kedepannya. Kata kunci: Inovasi Nilai, Industri Kaca Lembaran, Pergeseran Samudra Biru

Competition in the flat glass market in Indonesia since 2015 has been increasingly severe because much imported glass has entered Indonesia. The rapid rate of imported glass is due to two factors:  the enactment of the free trade pact in Southeast Asia and the expansion of the Chinese glass factory that built new factories in the Southeast Asia region, especially in Malaysia. Most of the imported glass entering Indonesia is commodity glass at a lower than local products, so they have begun to take a portion of the market share of local products. This competition is getting more onerous because the local flat glass industry has difficulties in reducing the price to be equal or lower than competitors' price due to the production cost structure is already too high. This research explores the basic concepts of strategies carried out by local flat glass companies in the face of competition in the flat glass industry. This is based on the concept of value innovation in the framework of “blue ocean shift.”  The research method used is an exploratory case study draws on an in-depth field study conducted in a local flat glass company based in Indonesia.

Redefining Home: A Story of Japanese Canadian Resettlement in Toronto explores the story of Harold and Hana Kawasoe, a young Japanese Canadian couple, who chose Toronto as their new home in the face of immeasurable loss they, and many other Japanese Canadians faced during the Second World War. Using a co-curation approach to share the Kawasoe story, the exhibit team discovered how community collaboration and the facilitation of diverse experiences can organically create support and success for museums and historic houses. Redefining Home offers a lens through which the strengths and weaknesses of this method can be seen, and this paper further discusses how it can be implemented by others going forward. Igniting community connections and creating platforms for many voices offers museums valuable and important insight into diverse and unique narratives.

AbstractThis paper examines how state and non-state actors govern through pursuing speculative conservation among resource-dependent people who must renegotiate altered livelihoods amidst extractivism in ruptured landscapes. As donor aid declines and changes form, bilaterals, state agencies, and civil society now pursue advocacy in overlapping spaces of intensifying extractivism and speculative governance in the ruptured frontiers of Southeast Asia. In these spaces, bilaterals and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) struggle to work with upland farmers who negotiate the contrasting expectations of the abstract, speculative nature of conservation initiatives and the lucrative nature of extractive labour in the face of dramatic transformations of agrarian livelihoods and landscapes. Through a case study of the Philippine uplands, we demonstrate that as speculative conservation unfolds and manifests within and beyond these landscapes, it endeavours to revalue nature monetarily in ways that help reorganise labour and capital in an effort to overcome the exhaustion of capital wrought by rupture. We propose that during moments of rupture speculative conservation coproduces value from ruin by renewing and preserving capital flows.

Teachers’ insight into misconceptions about simple circuits. Many studies on learners’ misconceptions about electricity have been published internationally, but studies on teachers’ awareness of these misconceptions are few. This article reports on a case study to investigate to what extent South African teachers understand learners’ misconceptions about series and parallel circuits, and to what extent such understandings are integrated into their pedagogical content knowledge. Nine teachers from public schools were purposefully selected to participate in the study. Qualitative data were collected from questionnaires and interviews. It was found that teachers often indicate simple misconceptions as sources of learners’ mistakes, but that misconceptions related to incorrect analysis are seldom mentioned. Furthermore, it was found that these teachers’ knowledge about misconceptions was fragmented and not integrated with their understanding of basic concepts. The results indicate that these teachers display inadequate pedagogical content knowledge regarding misconceptions about series and parallel circuits. It is recommended that pedagogical content knowledge regarding misconceptions should be developed during teacher training.

Land degradation and biodiversity loss are important global change issues because of their enormous effect on the functioning of ecosystem. Despite the fact that there have been tremendous concerns on land degradation and biodiversity loss for nearly two decades, there is still the need of having a sound data and information base, specifically in developing countries. The need has been more pronounced in the face of climate change as these three issues are intricately interlinked. Southeast Asia is an important geographic region from all these perspectives, as it has high biodiversity on the verge of rapid loss, continuing rapid land degradation due to desire of higher economic development, and of climate change importance with a large tract of forest areas in the region. This chapter, first of all, examines general status of land degradation and biodiversity in the region and goes on presenting two case studies. The first case study, based on secondary data, presents land degradation assessment in the Lower Mekong Basin demonstrating the use of spatial data and technologies and various land degradation indicators. The second case study specifically documents plant diversity and examines the relationship of plant diversity with biomass and soil erosion by making use of field surveyed primary data. Both studies aim at producing additional information which can help make better landuse allocation and planning for ecosystem maintenance without compromising much on regional or local livelihood through production.

Margins and Modernity: A Geocritical Approach to Anna Seward's Llangollen Vale

Insight Into

The genre of annotated verse represents an under-explored form of transporting romanticism. In annotated, locodescriptive poems like those in Anna Seward's Llangollen Vale, readers are invited to read not only the spatiality of the landscapes depicted in the verse but also the landscape of the page itself. Seward's poems, with their focus on understanding geographical, political, and historical spaces both real and imaginary, provide geocritical insight into poetic productions of the early Romantic era. Likewise, geocriticism offers a fresh and useful – even necessary – analytic approach to such poems. I adopt Anna Seward as a case study in annotated verse and argue that attending to the materiality and paratextuality of her work allows us to access the complexities of her poetry and prose as well as her position within the wider framework of transporting Romanticism.

Abstract: Presented from an ArtScience practitioner's perspective, this paper provides an overview of Svenja Kratz's experience working as an artist within the area of cell and tissue culture at QUT's Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation (IHBI). Using The Absence of Alice, a multi-medium exhibition based on the experience of culturing cells, as a case study, the paper gives insight into the artist's approach to working across art and science and how ideas, processes, and languages from each discipline can intermesh and extend the possibilities of each system. The paper also provides an overview of her most recent artwork, The Human Skin Equivalent/Experience Project, which involves the creation of personal jewellery items incorporating human skin equivalent models grown from the artist's skin and participant cells. Referencing this project, and other contemporary bioart works, the value of ArtScience is discussed, focusing in particular on the way in which cross-art-science projects enable an alternative voice to enter into scientific dialogues and have the potential to yield outcomes valuable to both disciplines.

Continuity And Discontinuity

This article aims to explore the Shaykh-mur?d (disciple) or teacher-pupil relationship as portrayed in Western Sufi life writing in recent decades, observing elements of continuity and discontinuity with classical Sufism. Additionally, it traces the influence on the texts of certain developments in religiosity in contemporary Western societies, especially New Age understandings of religious authority. Studying these works will provide an insight into the diversity of expressions of contemporary Sufism, while shedding light on a phenomenon which seems to fly in the face of contemporary social and religious trends which deemphasize external authority and promote the authority of the self or individual autonomy.
