J. Henry Rushton was the preeminent American builder of canoes and small pleasure boats in the late nineteenth-century. Beginning in the mid 1890s, Rushton personally maintained books of cost records and cost finding rules for his boat-building operations. In conjunction with the company's product catalogs and Rushton's personal letters, these books reveal the nature and function of cost keeping for this enterprise. They also suggest that pressures from increased competition and an economic depression may have stimulated Rushton to undertake detailed costing procedures.

<p><span>“Desak Terdesak” merupakan sebuah film fiksi pendek yang berangkat dari isu tentang kurangnya “penghargaan” <span>terhadap perempuan Bali. Karya ini mengangkat posisi serta status perempuan Bali dalam hukum adat yang<br /><span>selalu berada di bawah kekuasaan laki-laki. Hal tersebut berkaitan erat dan didasari oleh keyakinan mayoritas <span>penduduk Bali, sistem kekerabatan patrilineal, sistem wangsa dan petuah-petuah orang tua. Dalam film fiksi <span>pendek ini pengkarya berusaha menghadirkan konflik sosial yang lebih tajam dengan menggabungkan <span>permasalahan kekerasan dalam rumah tangga, tekanan ekonomi, dan ketidakberdayaan melawan hukum <span>adat yang membuat posisi perempuan Bali bernama Desak semakin terdesak. Sejak kecil perempuan Bali<br /><span>dididik untuk mandiri, bekerja keras dan bukan mahkluk lemah yang harus dilindungi. Orang tua mengajarkan <span>untuk selalu menjunjung tinggi martabat dan siap berkorban demi nama baik keluarga. Perempuan Bali telah <span>diberikan persamaan hak dalam memperoleh pendidikan, pekerjaan dan mengutarakan pendapat, namun <span>disisi lain mereka tetap diikat oleh berbagai sistem yang berlaku di Bali. “Desak Terdesak” berdurasi 20 menit, <span>menggunakan pendekatan Realis medan Hollywood Klasik sebagai bentuk karya dengan plot linier yang<br /><span>sesuai aksi peristiwa. Dialog dalam film ini menggunakan bahasa Bali dialek Singaraja untuk memperkuat <span>setting dan penokohan yang dibangun dalam cerita. Beberapa sumber pustaka seperti Filsafat Timur, Sebuah <span>Pengantar Hinduisme dan Buddhisme, Perempuan Bali, Hukum Adat Bali, Hak Waris Perempuan Bali dan <span>Kesalahpahaman Kasta digunakan sebagai rujukan dalam menciptakan karya ini. Film yang diilhami dari <span>kisah nyata ini memberikan sedikit pengetahuan, informasi, pemahaman kepada pembaca serta penonton<br /><span>terkait posisi perempuan dalam hukum dan pergaulan adat masyarakat Bali yang menganut sistem kekerabatan <span>patrilineal.<br /><span><strong>Kata kunci: </strong><span>film, perempuan, Bali, budaya, sistem, bentuk.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p><span><span><span><em>“Desak Terdesak” is a film of short fiction based on the issues of the lack of “appreciation” towards Balinese </em><span><em>women. This work tells about the position and status of Balinese women in the custom that they are always </em><span><em>under the men’s power. It is closely related to and based on the most Balinese belief, the patrilineal kinship </em><span><em>system, </em><span>wangsa <span><em>system, and the parental teachings. In the short fiction film, the creator tries to present the </em><span><em>sharper social conflict by combining the problems of domestic violance, economic depression, and the</em><br /><span><em>helpnessness against customary law that makes Balinese women namely Desak is more distressed. Sinceyoung, </em><span><em>Balinese women have been educated to be independent, working hard, and not to be a poor being that must</em><br /><span><em>be protected. Parents teach to always uphold dignity and to be ready to sacrifice in the name of family’s </em><span><em>reputation. Balinese women have been given similar rights in getting education, employment and proposing </em><span><em>opinion, on the other hand, they are tied by various systems held in Bali. “Desak Terdesak” has 20 minutes </em><span><em>duration using Realism and Classical Hollywood approach as a form of work with linear plots corresponding to </em><span><em>the action of events. Dialogue in the film uses Balinese language with Singaraja dialect to strengthen setting</em><br /><span><em>and characterization built in the story. Library sources like Eastern Philosophy, An Introductory To Hinduism </em><span><em>AndBuddhism, Balinese Women, Balinese Custom, Hereditary Right Of Balinese Women And Misconceptions Of Caste is used as a reference in creating this work. The film that has been inspired by a real story</em><br /><span><em>provides little knowledge,informations, the reader as well as the audience understanding related to the women </em><span><em>position in law and in customary intercommunication of Balinese community that follow patrilineal kinship</em><br /><span><em>system.</em><br /><span><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><span><em>film, woman, Bali, culture, system, form.</em></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br /></span></span></span></span><br /></span></span></p>

Bank deposit is one of the vital issues for any financial institution. It is very challenging to predict a customer if he/she can be a depositor by analyzing related information. Some recent reports demonstrate that economic depression and the continuous decline of the economy negatively impact business organizations and banking sectors. Due to such economic depression, banks cannot attract a customer's attention. Thus, marketing is preferred to be a handy tool for the banking sector to draw customers' attention for a term deposit. The purpose of this paper is to study the performance of ensemble learning algorithms which is a novel approach to predict whether a new customer will have a term deposit or not. A Portuguese retail bank data is used for our study, containing 45,211 phone contacts with 16 input attributes and one decision attribute. The data are preprocessed by using the Discretization technique. 40,690 samples are used for training the classifiers, and 4,521 samples are used for testing. In this work, the performance of the three mostly used classification algorithms named Support Vector Machine (SVM), Neural Network (NN), and Naive Bayes (NB) are analyzed. Then the ability of ensemble methods to improve the efficiency of basic classification algorithms is investigated and experimentally demonstrated. Experimental results exhibit that the performance metrics of Neural Network (Bagging) is higher than other ensemble methods. Its accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity are 96.62%, 97.14%, and 99.08%, respectively. Although all input attributes are considered in the classification method, in the end, a descriptive analysis has shown that some input attributes have more importance for this classification. Overall, it is shown that ensemble methods outperformed the traditional algorithms in this domain. We believe our contribution can be used as a depositor prediction system to provide additional support for bank deposit prediction.
