  • Tech Report 2 V12 (Dragged)
    Technical Report The Second Research Dive on Image Mining for Disaster Management January 2017 Executive Summary Indonesia is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world. In recent years, both natural and manmade disasters, including haze from forest fires, volcanic eruptions, floods and landslides, have resulted in deaths, destruction of land areas, environmental impacts, and setbacks to the economy. Faced with these risks, the Government of Indonesia is continually challenged to improve its disaster management practices and post-crisis responsiveness. Digital data sources and real-time analysis techniques have the potential to be an integral part of effective disaster management planning and implementation. Among these techniques, the use of image-based data can further enhance knowledge discovery related to this issue. When mined and analysed effectively, imagery data sourced from social media, satellite imagery, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can capture valuable ground-level visual insights. This data can be used to inform disaster-related decision-making and improve response efforts. Using 5,400 images related to haze collected from social media, gigabytes of time-series satellite imagery capturing an active volcano pre- and post-eruption from the National Institute of Aeronautics and Space Indonesia (LAPAN) and Google Earth, as well as UAV images of the recent landslides in Garut, West Java, Pulse Lab Jakarta recently invited image mining and Geographic Information System (GIS) enthusiasts to dive into this data. On 13 - 16 November 2016, Pulse Lab Jakarta organized a Research Dive on Image Mining for Disaster Management, hosting 16 researchers from 14 universities across Indonesia. The participants worked in teams to develop analytical tools and generate research insights in four areas.

  • Globalization and Responsive Legal Model Based on Sovereignty of Purpose
    第 48 卷 第 3 期 湖 南 大 学 学 报（ 自 然 科学版 ） Vol. 48. No. 3. 2021 年 3 月 Journal of Hunan University（Natural Sciences） Mar. 2021 Open Access Article Globalization and Responsive Legal Model Based on Sovereignty of Purpose Lynda Asiana1, 2, *, Supanto1, 2, Hari Purwadi1 1 Faculty of Law, Sebelas Maret University, Surakarta, Indonesia 2 Faculty of Law, Jenderal Soedirman University, Purwokerto, Indonesia Abstract: The modernization process takes place quickly and gives rise to a new phenomenon in the form of globalization. In the world of business, globalization implies trading in several countries and throughout the world, making it transcend national borders. Law is needed to face globalization as an integrating mechanism between the nation’s internal interests, national interests, and international interests. The method used in this research is juridical normative, oriented toward literature study. Literature study includes international conventions, laws and regulations, and literature books containing legal principles and doctrines. The results show that facing the increasing flow of globalization, it is necessary to have laws with local (national) content characteristics that can accommodate international trends. This type of law is a responsive one oriented toward purpose sovereignty. Keywords: globalization, local content, international trends, responsiveness, sovereignty of purpose. 目的主权下的全球化与回应性法律模式 摘要：现代化进程迅速发生，并以全球化的形式引起新的现象。在商业世界中，全球化意味 着在多个国家和世界范围内进行贸易，使其超越国界。面对全球化，需要法律作为国家内部利益 ，国家利益和国际利益之间的整合机制。本研究中使用的方法是法律规范性的，以文献研究为导 向。文学研究包括国际公约，法律和法规，以及包含法律原理和理论的文学书籍。结果表明，面 对日益增长的全球化潮流，有必要制定具有地方（国家）内容特征的法律以适应国际趋势。这类 法律是针对目的主权的回应性法律。 关键词：全球化，本地内容，国际趋势，响应能力，目的主权。 1.
