The Age of Fear: Terrorism, Pandemic, and Refugees

Social scientists have defined modern times by different names and fear is one of them. As the driver for the historical flow in global range besides many other phenomena terror, epidemic and refugee issues direct the individual and social life of the age as a source of fear. This study aims to read how fear affects the social life of the time through the fear of terrorists, epidemics, and refugees. Secondly, it is to clarify what kind of fear is being constructed by these phenomenons and what is the interaction between them. Seeking control is constructed by a peculiar language produced by various actors, fear sources, which turn into an important device for the management and administration of people, become a perfect tool not only for those in power but also for power pretenders. Consequently, realistic or unrealistic sources of fear mutually feed the pursuit of control and the politics of fear.

NUSANTARA PRA ISLAM: Prediksi Masa Depan Islam di Indonesia

Looking at the historical flow of Islamic development in Indonesia as such, the author took an analysis that the future prospects of Islam in Indonesia have a great opportunity to continue to develop, be it in the fields of politics, economics, education, social, and culture. This can be seen from the history of Islam in Indonesia that continues to develop until now, this is the early stage of the emergence of awareness of the Indonesian nation of the importance of planting religious values in Indonesian society so that the Indonesian nation can meet the future not only with science and technology but also in the balance by IMTAQ. The era of globalization in the 21st century that has begun at this time, Islam in Indonesia has apparently exerted a huge influence on the advancement of Islam in the world. Although the existence of Islam today is really faced with a fairly severe challenge that requires the involvement of various parties concerned. With regard to this, strategic efforts need to be made, among others: by providing knowledge, skills, and piety in all fields (religious, political, economic, social, cultural, educational) so as to give birth to creative, innovative, independent and productive people considering the world to come is a competitive world.

Karakteristik dan Aplikasi Aliran Romantisme Arab

Al-Masa poetry is the work of a famous Egyptian poet named Khalil Mutran. Khalil Mutran (1872-1949) is recorded as one of Egypt's last neo-classical poets. One of his works is the poem Al-zaman, the poem al-masa telling about the suffering of the figure both physical suffering. Meanwhile, the flow of romanticism is a village literary genre that emerged after the flow of classicism which is commonly called the urban literary genre. The purpose of this research is to find out the historical flow of romanticism and its application in the literary work of the poetry of al-zaman Karta Khail Mutran. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative research method. The results of this study indicate that al-Masa's poetry contains elements of romance. That contains elements of Return to nature, melancholy, primitivism, sentimentalism, individualism and exoticism.

Fracturing the Historical Continuity on Truth: Jotiba Phule in the Quest for Personhood of Shudras

Anti-caste traditions in India work to understand and examine the idea of personhood which the majority in India is deprived of by virtue of being born in the lower rungs of the caste hierarchy. This paper examines the historical continuity in Brahminism and the rupture Jotiba Phule presents to it through his art and activism which serves to disturb the regular flow of singular continuity of what is perceived as history and historiography. Jotiba’s quest is for finding the essence / personhood of, what Butler calls, a ‘precarious subject’ and recognizing that precarious subject – the Shudra, as a subject of history. But the personhood of this precarious subject is never a complete personhood. Therefore, Jotiba attempts to unveil the path towards achieving complete personhood which is embedded in reaffirming the lost or concealed truth – by discontinuing the historical flow of the social structure of caste and establishing a new subject rising out of crisis in social structure in history. I have chosen two works from Jotiba’s works as new methodological tools for history writing and historical criticism, and made hermeneutical and phenomenological readings of the both. The works are his poem Kulambin (a peasant woman), and the Satyashodhak (truth-seeker) marriage as the public performance of protest- as they are both - the essential and the mundane to his life, which exemplifies the truth Jotiba followed and established an organization Satyashodhak Samaj (Society of Truth Seekers) as a testament to it.

Perbandingan Pengembangan Asuransi Syariah di Indonesia dan Malaysia (Analisis Aliran Mazhab Sejarah dan Law as a Tool of Social Engineering)

This research discusses the development of Islamic insurance or known as takaful. The focus of discussion on sharia insurance in Indonesia and Malaysia by tracing the history of regulation and the growth of the industry. These two things are compared with the conclusion that you can understand the factors that cause differences in the development of Islamic insurance in Indonesia and Malaysia. With a comparative approach, the conclusion is that Islamic insurance regulations in Indonesia and Malaysia are formed based on the soul of the nation by historical flow of law. Have the same foundation, but Indonesia is slower in responding to regulations. As a result, the growth of the Islamic insurance industry in Indonesia lags behind that of Malaysia. The basic couse is due to the role of law in Indonesia is less responsive because the law acts as a means of social control, for changes in Islamic insurance to be more developed.

Hydropower impact on the river flow of a humid regional climate

Land use and water management have considerable impacts on regional climates. This paper proposes that in humid regions with low wind patterns the construction of hydropower storage reservoirs contributes to the increases in the probability of precipitation in the regional climate. This observation has been tested with a methodology that calculates the cumulative influence of reservoir construction in the basins surrounding with a proposed index named Cumulative Impact of Existing Reservoirs, and compares this index with the historical flow of the rivers. It was found that the construction of reservoirs in Brazil had a considerable impact on its river flows.

Comparison of two methods for determining Q95 reference flow in the mouth of the surface catchment basin of the Meia Ponte river, state of Goiás, Brazil

The preferred data for analyzing water availability are those of historical flow series of the sources of interest; however, most Brazilian watersheds do not have sufficient fluviometric monitoring. Such cases require techniques for transposing data from one region to another, otherwise known as ‘flow regionalization’. The present work aimed to compare the method proposed by Secretaria de Meio Ambiente e Desenvolvimento Sustentável (SEMAD) of the state of Goiás with the traditional method of regionalization for determining reference flow at the mouth of the surface catchment basin of the Meia Ponte river. Data from eight fluviometric stations were used for regionalization, with the regression equations being adjusted using four different models. The result revealed that the potential and linear models performed the best, both with R2 and R2a values of 0.996 and 0.995, respectively. The relative error in the application of the potential model and of the method adopted by SEMAD were below 30%. The reference flows obtained by the two best performing methods differed, with flow determined by the traditional method being 5.93% lower than that of the SEMAD equation. Therefore, a more detailed study is recommended to determine which equation models better fit the region.

Machine learning analysis of the bleomycin-mouse model reveals the compartmental and temporal inflammatory pulmonary fingerprint

SummaryThe bleomycin mouse-model is the extensively used model to study pulmonary fibrosis, however, the inflammatory cell kinetics and their compartmentalisation is still incompletely understood. Here we assembled historical flow cytometry data, totalling 303 samples and 16 inflammatory-cell populations, and applied advanced data modelling and machine learning methods to conclusively detail these kinetics.Three days post-bleomycin, the inflammatory profile was typified by acute innate inflammation, pronounced neutrophilia, especially of SiglecF+ neutrophils, and alveolar macrophage loss. Between 14 and 21 days, rapid-responders were increasingly replaced by T and B cells, and monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages. Multi-colour imaging revealed the spatial-temporal cell distribution and the close association of T cells with deposited collagen.Unbiased immunophenotyping and data modelling exposed the dynamic shifts in immune-cell composition over the course of bleomycin-triggered lung injury. These results and workflow provides a reference point for future investigations, and can easily be applied in the analysis of other datasets.

Application of Empirical Mode Decomposition Method to Synthesize Flow Data: A Case Study of Hushan Reservoir in Taiwan

Although empirical mode decomposition (EMD) was developed to analyze nonlinear and non-stationary data in the beginning, the purpose of this study is to propose a new method—based on EMD—to synthesize and generate data which be interfered with the non-stationary problems. While using EMD to decompose flow record, the intrinsic mode functions and residue of a given record can be re-arranged and re-combined to generate synthetic time series with the same period. Next, the new synthetic and historical flow data will be used to simulate the water supply system of Hushan reservoir, and explore the difference between the newly synthetic and historical flow data for each goal in the water supply system of Hushan reservoir. Compared the historical flow with the synthetic data generated by EMD, the synthetic data is similar to the historical flow distribution overall. The flow during dry season changes in significantly (±0.78 m3/s); however, the flow distribution during wet season varies significantly (±0.63 m3/s). There are two analytic scenarios for demand. For Scenario I, without supporting industrial demand, the simulation results of the generation data of Method I and II show that both are more severe than the current condition, the shortage index of each method is between 0.67–1.96 but are acceptable. For Scenario II, no matter in which way the synthesis flow is simulated, supporting industrial demand will seriously affect the equity of domestic demand, the shortage index of each method is between 1.203 and 2.12.

Structure and englacial debris content of a Himalayan debris-covered glacier revealed by an optical televiewer

<p>Himalayan debris-covered glaciers contribute to the discharge of some of Earth’s largest river systems, shaping the seasonal water supply to millions of people. The supraglacial debris layer heavily influences the pattern of surface melt, producing a range of unique surface features that make it challenging to collect any data, particularly from the interior of such glaciers. Models of debris-covered glaciers therefore lack calibration and validation data, which are needed for accurate predictions of future glacier geometric change and contributions to river discharge, water resources and ultimately sea level. In 2017 and 2018, we logged four boreholes drilled using pressurised hot water into the debris-covered Khumbu Glacier, Nepal Himalaya, with a high-resolution optical televiewer. The boreholes were located at four sites across the lower glacier’s debris-covered area, down-flow of the Khumbu Icefall. The resulting logs, ranging in length from 22–150 m, produced a 360° geometrically-accurate full-colour image of each borehole at ~1 mm vertical and ~0.22 mm (1,440 pixel) horizontal resolution. The logs reveal three material facies: i) steeply-dipping ice layers, some including debris; ii) steeply-dipping sediment-rich layers; and iii) clusters of sediment and debris dispersed through the ice. On the basis of these facies, we present reconstructions of the glacier’s structure and historical flow paths and the first measurements of the englacial debris concentration of a Himalayan debris-covered glacier. From the latter, we additionally infer both the sources of this englacial debris and of the supraglacial debris layer present across much of the lower ablation area of Khumbu Glacier.</p>
