Harnessing sensing systems towards urban sustainability transformation

Recent years have seen a massive development of geospatial sensing systems informing the use of space. However, rarely do these sensing systems inform transformation towards urban sustainability. Drawing on four global urban case examples, we conceptualize how passive and active sensing systems should be harnessed to secure an inclusive, sustainable and resilient urban transformation. We derive principles for stakeholders highlighting the need for an iterative dialogue along a sensing loop, new modes of governance enabling direct feeding of sensed information, an account for data biases in the sensing processes and a commitment to high ethical standards, including open access data sharing.

Analysing the Media Consumer Trends During the COVID-19 Period-The Rise of Otts in India

In the wake of an unprecedented COVID-19 widespread, there is a massive development in the media and entertainment industry through OTT (Over-the-Top) platforms which offer video streaming directly to viewers via the internet without cable, broadcast, and satellite television supports. During the self-isolation period, OTTs have increased the overall media consumption to a real high and are now gradually becoming mainstream entertainment destination amidst the growing internet users. This mass intrusion has given an opportunity for many independent platforms to grow and run alongside the likes of already established biggies, Netflix and Amazon Prime. The telecom operators chipped in this aspect and are extensively working on optimizing their operations with advertising revenue and bringing in effective content strategies in order to reach out to more people. The present study focuses on this new development by using the technique of quantitative content analysis in order to know the cause of this sudden increase in OTT channels' viewership among millennials during the lockdown period in India and its impact on traditional modes of communication.

Trends in Integrated Islamic Schools in Rural Areas: Background and Parent's Orientation in Choosing SDIT as an Alternative to Elementary Schools in Boyolali

<p align="center"><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>This study aimed to explain the trend shifting of elementary schools in the Boyolali District. Some of the questions that would be answered through this research were: 1) Why did SDIT become a trend in rural areas? 2) What were the motives and orientations of parents in choosing SDIT as an alternative primary school for their children? The study of this theme was conducted using a qualitative research approach. Data were collected through observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The data obtained were then processed and analyzed in six stages: transcribing the interview data, labeling all the data obtained, categorizing the data into cognate themes, narrating the data by comparing and contrasting, interpreting the data, and finally drawing conclusions. The results of this study found two main conclusions: 1) The development of SDIT trends in Boyolali was directly proportional to the increasing of the religious awareness of the community, which was driven by the massive development of socio-religious foundations representing various theological concepts, where the foundations felt that they needed to establish Islamic schools as media to regenerate and maintain the continuity of their respective theological concepts. 2) Beside that, not only the theological and academic factors (quality of education), but also the economic and the children's independence factors were the motives and orientations of parents in determining the choice of primary school for their children.</p>

Keep or Lose It: Mirroring Tana Sangkol in Madura Contemporary Literature

Ancestral land or tana sangkol in Madura is a significant material asset possessed by the Madurese people, with attached social and cultural values that link the living and the dead. Massive development on the island, however, has seen people selling their tana sangkol to foreign investors for conversion into shrimp ponds and hotels. This study aimed to analyze tana sangkol’s representation in three short stories, “Anak Cangkul,” “Kutukan Tanah Leluhur,” and “Tanah Warisan,” by Zainul Muttaqin, an author from Sumenep, Madura. The discussion mainly focused on the dramatic contribution of poverty to the sale of tana sangkol to investors, an act that is believed to bring bad luck to the sellers. Furthermore, tana sangkol epitomizes pride to the Madurese people, making them more willing to resist the intrusion of foreign investment. A qualitative research method with a close reading technique was applied and the data were analyzed using the post-colonial ecocriticism theory of Graham Huggan and Helen Tiffin. The results showed that there has been a shift in how the Madurese view their tana sangkol, with them no longer regarding it as sacred ancestral land. Moreover, it is considered to have social and cultural contexts due to its close relationship with the Madurese people’s identity. Meanwhile, the oppression toward farmers is seen as structural and hierarchical.

ADAPTABILITY OF WINTER WHEAT FROM THE INSTITUTE OF PLANT INDUSTRY (VIR) COLLECTION IN THE CIS-MIDDLE URALS

The purpose of the research is to identify sources of economically valuable properties for creating a genetic collection of winter wheat in the Cis-middle Urals. The material for research was 30 varieties of winter wheat from the VIR collection for adaptability. The study was carried out in 2016-2019 at the experimental field of the UdmFIC Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Pervomaysky village, Zavyalovsky district of Udmurtia). The soil of the experimental site is well cultivated sod-podzolic medium loamy. According to method of L.A. Zhivotkova, Z.N. Morozova, L.I. Sekatueva (1994) 15 varieties were more adapted to local conditions. These varieties, on average for 3 years of research, formed higher yields (by 2-107 %) than the average for all varieties. The indicator of the level of stability of the variety (ILSV), calculated by the method of E.D. Nettevich (1985) identified only three of the most valuable varieties - Sarlota (ILSV 283 %), Venistar (ILSV 238 %) and Alauda (ILSV 124 %). Overwintering of varieties on average for 2017-2019 was 32 ... 68 %, for the standard-60 %. The best winter hardiness was obtained in the samples Sarlota (68 %) and Vanda (63 %). The sources of high grain content of the spike (33.6...50.8 pcs.) were identified – variety samples Markola, Sarlota, Veldana, Venistar. Large grain (mass of 1000 grains 42.6...52.3 g) formed varieties Charodijka Bilotserkivsʹka, Gonoveva, Stanislava, Sarlota, Vanda. Warm and humid weather in the summer of 2019 led to the massive development of powdery mildew. The varieties Charodijka BilotserkivskaKa, KhmelnNychanka, Zluka, Komertsijna, Markola, Gonoveva were highly stable (7...9 points) for this disease. The increased air temperature and the presence of a drip liquid were the reasons for the intensive development of brown rust in 2017. High stability (7...9 points) this year the varieties Gordovyta, Lasurna, Zluka, Gonoveva, Sarlota, Veldana and Venistar showed signs of illness

Hukum diciptakan manusia untuk melindungi dan menertibkan masyarakat. Sayangnya, hukum yang dibuat manusia memiliki keterbatasan saat berhadapan dengan perubahan zaman. Pola kehidupan masyarakat terus berkembang dan hukum dituntut untuk selalu bisa menyeleraskan diri padahal proses menciptakan hukum tidak mudah. Perlu pemikiran dan waktu yang cukup untuk merumuskan peraturan yang baik sementara masyarakat tidak bisa menunggu hukum terlalu lama untuk menyelesaikan berbagai fenomena yang terjadi, termasuk online grooming. Online grooming adalah kekerasan berbasis gender yang dilakukan secara online untuk memperdaya korban agar menyerahkan foto atau video yang memuat atribut seksualnya. Saat ini belum ada peraturan yang secara khusus mengatur online grooming, namun ada beberapa metode tertentu yang bisa digunakan agar peraturan perundang-undangan yang ada saat ini bisa dipakai untuk menjerat pelaku online grooming. ===== Law was created by humans to protect and order society. Unfortunately, human-made laws have limitations when facing the massive development. The pattern of people's culture continues to develop and the law is expected to always be relevant even though the process of creating laws is not easy.

Gender and Digital Public Relations: Who Gets Benefits?

Public relations professionals have been dominated by females since they have good communication skills and abilities in persuading and engaging in the conversation and listening the stakeholders to build and harmonize relationships them. However, male public relations practitioners dominate in the top positions since they have been participated in the managerial roles while female are in the technical roles. In the organization, female public relations practitioners face inequalities in social, professional, and economic areas and they also find it difficult to achieve higher position because the traditional patriarchy is still strongly practiced. It harder for them to break this barrier. Family and children, on the other hand, become big considerations for females to climb the higher position since it will give bigger responsibilities. Moreover, the massive development of digital technologies provides more opportunities for female public relations professionals to intensively engage with the stakeholders. On the other hand, these technologies bring privilege for males since they are more digital technical skills. To compete with males in digital public relations, females should enhance their digital skills, wisely manage their time, learn to take new challenges making them one step ahead, and actively participate in every organizational activity to voice their ideas and straighten up false assumptions and misconceptions about females. Meanwhile, males should be versatile public relations professionals in the digital era by combining masculine and feminine values to find the best public relations practices.

Exploring TESOL Teachers’ Perceptions of Project-Based Assessment in ELT Classroom

This study explored the perceptions of TESOL teachers in Indonesia regarding the use of project-based assessment in their classrooms. As assessment has undergone massive development and shifting paradigms, there has been recognition for teachers to reconceptualise their assessment practice. There have been attempts made by some countries, including Indonesia, to introduce various assessment methods including project-based assessment. Since it has been introduced in Indonesia in 2016 through government document, little is known about TESOL teachers’ use of this assessment method. Furthermore, project-based assessment has mostly been used in science classroom, but not in ELT classroom. Research study regarding the use of project-based assessment in ELT classroom and how TESOL teachers in Indonesia perceive the use of project-based assessment would therefore be valuable additions to the field. This study used a qualitative case study as its methodology to gain an in-depth understanding of the emerging issue. Four ELT teachers around Surabaya were interviewed about their project-based assessment practice. The findings of this study revealed that teachers highly value the use of project-based assessment in their classroom despite the challenges they encounter. Hence, some implications and directions for further studies are also provided.Keywords: assessment method, classroom assessment, TESOL Teachers, project-based assessment, ELT in Indonesia.
