<p>BUMDESMA Kecamatan Ngantang adalah Badan Usaha Milik Desa Bersama yang ada di Kecamatan Ngantang. Instansi ini adalah instansi baru yang memiliki usaha berupa <em>playground</em>. Dari awal pembukaan <em>playground </em>hingga terakhir yaitu bulan Juli 2019 pemasukan <em>playground </em>mengalami penurunan dikarenakan rusaknya rumput taman selama musim kemarau. Permasalahan yang dialami BUMDESMA adalah pemeliharaan rumput gajah mini untuk taman memerlukan metode penyiraman khusus namun BUMDESMA belum mampu menggunakan jasa penyiraman untuk menyiram taman <em>playground</em>. Dari permasalahan tersebut maka dikembangkan sistem penyiraman taman berbasis <em>Internet of Things</em> (<em>IOT</em>) untuk menekan biaya pengeluaran BUMDESMA. Sistem manajemen penyiraman taman menggunakan aplikasi yang ditanamkan pada perangkat Android untuk mengontrol sistem yang dibuat dan perangkat <em>embedded </em>untuk melakukan mekanisme penyiraman. Hasil pengujian <em>blackbox </em>menunjukan bahwa hasil uji 100% valid. Pengujian <em>usability </em>menunjukan nilai lebih dari kriteria minimum penelitian dengan nilai 72 yang berarti bahwa aplikasi dapat diterima oleh pengguna. Dari hasil pengujian efisiensi biaya menunjukan bahwa penggunaan sistem penyiraman dalam jangka panjang dapat mengurangi biaya pengeluaranan BUMDESMA dibanding penggunaan jasa penyiraman profesional.</p><p> </p><p><em><strong>Abstract</strong></em></p><p><em>BUMDESMA Kecamatan Ngantang is a Joint Village-Owned Enterprises located in Ngantang District, Malang, East Java. This is a new agency that has a playground as one of the core businesses. Along from the beginning of the playground operates until the end of July 2019, playground revenue has gradually decreased. This issue arises due to the bad condition of the grass on the playground causing local people are not willing to visit that place. The playground's grass requires special watering treatment but BUMDESMA is the lack of income so they cannot afford to pay the professional grass maintenance services to actively watering the playground grass. From these problems, We proposed an IOT based garden watering system to reduce BUMDESMA expenditure costs. The garden watering management system uses a mobile application as a user interface to control the system and embedded devices for the watering mechanism. Blackbox testing of the proposed system shows that all the functional requirements are 100% valid. Usability testing shows a value of 72 which is more than the minimum threshold of usability criterion means that the application is acceptable to users. The results of cost-efficiency testing show that the proposed water systems can reduce the cost when compared to using professional watering services.</em></p><p><em><strong><br /></strong></em></p>

Full textAbstract:
Modern information communication technologies (ICT) infrastructures are getting complicated to cope with the various demands needed to accommodate the emerging technology paradigms such as cloud, software-defined networking (SDN), and internet of things (IoT). Visibility is essential for the effective operation of such modern ICT infrastructures to easily pinpoint server faults, network bottlenecks, and application performance troubles. Even though many conventional monitoring solutions are now available, multi-layer visibility is still limited when operating such complicated infrastructures. To address this particular limitation, a futuristic multi-layer visibility framework denoted as SmartX multi-view visibility framework (MVF), is proposed for unifying the visibility of underlay, physical and virtual resources, flow, and workload layers. To unify multi-layer visibility, this paper presents a comprehensive extension of SmartX MVF with flow-centric visibility for simultaneously monitoring physical-virtual resources, flows classification, and visualization to eventually assist secured operation of SDN-enabled multisite cloud infrastructure. Flow-centric visibility design has five main components (1) a lightweight network packets-precise flows visibility collection component, (2) a visibility data aggregation and tagging component, (3) a multi-layer visibility data integration component, (4) a non-learning-based network packets flows classification component, and (5) a visualization component. Furthermore, a prototype implementation of SmartX MVF with flow-centric visibility is deployed in an SDN-enabled multisite cloud playground to verify the proposed multi-view visibility of fine-grained flow-aware physical-virtual resources.

Full textAbstract:
As a playground for cloud computing and IoT networking environment, IoTcloudServe@TEIN has been established in the Trans-Eurasia Information Network (TEIN). In the IoTcloudServe@TEIN platform, a cloud orchestration for conducting the flow of IoT task demands is imperative for effectively improving performance. In this paper, we propose the model of optimal containerized task scheduling in cloud orchestration that maximizes the average payoff from completing tasks within the whole cloud system with different levels of cloud hierarchies. Based on integer linear programming, the model can take into account demand requirement and resource availability in terms of storage, computation, network, and splittable task granularity. To show the insights obtainable from the proposed model, the edge-core cluster of IoTcloudServe@TEIN and its peer-to-peer federated cloud scenario with OF@TEIN+ are numerically experimented and herein reported. To evaluate the model’s performance, payoff level and task completion time are considered by comparing with a well-known round-robin scheduling algorithm. The proposed ILP model can be a guideline for the cloud orchestration in IoTcloudserve@TEIN because of the lower task completion time and the higher payoff level especially upon the large demand growth, which is the major operation range of concerns in practice. Moreover, the proposed model illustrates mathematically the significance of implementing cloud architecture with refined splittable task granularity via the light-weighted container technology that has been used as the basis for IoTcloudServe@TEIN clustering design.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe present study, for the first time, examined land-use land cover (LULC), changes using GIS, between 2000 and 2018 for the IIT Bombay campus, India. Objective was to evaluate hydro-ecological balance inside campus by determining spatio-temporal disparity between hydrological parameters (rainfall-runoff processes), ecological components (forest, vegetation, lake, barren land), and anthropogenic stressors (urbanization and encroachments). High-resolution satellite imageries were generated for the campus using Google Earth Pro, by manual supervised classification method. Rainfall patterns were studied using secondary data sources, and surface runoff was estimated using SCS-CN method. Additionally, reconnaissance surveys, ground-truthing, and qualitative investigations were conducted to validate LULC changes and hydro-ecological stability. LULC of 2018 showed forest, having an area cover of 52%, as the most dominating land use followed by built-up (43%). Results indicated that the area under built-up increased by 40% and playground by 7%. Despite rapid construction activities, forest cover and Powai lake remained unaffected. This anomaly was attributed to the drastically declining barren land area (up to ~ 98%) encompassing additional construction activities. Sustainability of the campus was demonstrated with appropriate measures undertaken to mitigate negative consequences of unwarranted floods owing to the rise of 6% in the forest cover and a decline of 21% in water hyacinth cover over Powai lake. Due to this, surface runoff (~ 61% of the rainfall) was observed approximately consistent and being managed appropriately despite major alterations in the LULC. Study concluded that systematic campus design with effective implementation of green initiatives can maintain a hydro-ecological balance without distressing the environmental services.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, under the concept of environmental sustainability, it is focused on sustainability of sports organizations, ecologic footprints and its environmental effects. Sustainable development tries to maximize the resource productivity through activities such like protection of energy and un-renewable resources, reducing the risks, pollution prevention, reducing the ecologic footprints and minimization of wastes. Active and passive participation to sports events create an important effect on natural environment. Environmental degradation is caused by carbon emissions stemming from going to the events and coming back by all the shareholders, wastes produced in those areas, water and energy used to keep the playgrounds very green, arrangement of the fields, environmental damages of the constructions and many other factors, and they are required to be eliminated. In recent years, studies conducted on the environmental effects of big sports events have become frequently a current issue and host cities/countries have taken the proper steps in this regard and tried to apply the sanctions. We encounter development of a sustainability plan intended to produce carbon neutral, zero waste and a sustainable organization as one of the most efficient practices in determination of score in candidacy competition for the Olympic Games. Although IOC has involved aspect for protection of the environment, as third one, into the sports and culture aspects of Olympic movement, our way to use natural resources of the world in terms of sports organizations demonstrate that our ecologic footprint has increased. Extended English abstract is in the end of PDF (TURKISH) file.ÖzetBu makalede, çevresel sürdürülebilirlik kavramı çatısı altında, spor organizasyonlarının sürdürülebilirliği, ekolojik ayak izleri ve çevresel etkileri konularına odaklanılmıştır. Sürdürülebilir kalkınma, enerji ve yenilenemeyen kaynakların korunması, risklerin azaltılması, kirliliğin önlenmesi, ekolojik ayak izinin küçültülmesi ve atığın en aza indirgenmesi gibi faaliyetler yoluyla kaynak verimliliğini en üst düzeye çıkarmak için çabalamaktadır. Spor olaylarına aktif ve pasif katılım, doğal çevre üzerinde önemli bir etki yaratır. Tüm paydaşlar tarafından olaylara gidiş ve gelişten kaynaklanan karbon emisyonları, bu alanlarda üretilen atıklar, oyun alanlarını yemyeşil tutabilmek için kullanılan su ve enerji, alanların düzenlenmesi, inşaatlarının çevresel zararları ve daha birçok etmen çevresel bozulmaya yol açmakta ve elimine edilmesi gerekmektedir. Büyük spor olaylarının çevresel etkileri konusunda yapılan çalışmalar, son zamanlarda sık sık gündeme gelmekte ev sahibi şehir\ülkeler bu konuda gerekli önlemleri alarak, yaptırımları uygulamaya çalışmaktadırlar. Karbon nötr, sıfır atık ve sürdürülebilir bir organizasyon gerçekleştirmeyi amaçlayan bir sürdürülebilirlik planını geliştirilmesi, Olimpiyat Oyunları adaylık yarışında sonucun belirlenmesinde en etkili uygulamalardan birisi olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. IOC Olimpik hareketin spor ve kültür boyutunun yanına üçüncü olarak, çevrenin korunması boyutunu eklemesine rağmen, spor organizasyonları açısından dünyadaki doğal kaynakları kullanma şeklimiz ekolojik ayak izimizin büyüdüğünü göstermektedir. Önemli spor olaylarının çevresel etkisini azaltmaya yönelik birçok çabaya rağmen, kapsamlı ölçümler, değerlendirmeler ve spor sektöründeki çevresel sürdürülebilirlik çalışmaları, yeterince tatmin edici olmadığı görülmektedir. Yönetim alanında çevresel sürdürülebilirlik literatürünün zengin olmasına rağmen, spor yönetimi içinde çok sınırlı kaldığı söylenebilir.

Children outdoor playground and play equipment have been innovative in design and interaction in recent years. Multiple pieces of research attempt to use technologies to refresh play and activities experience in playground. The article focus on an IoT playground project about technological-enhanced artefacts installed and located in Magistratshagen, Linköping. This study investigates how do technology-enhanced artefacts actively attract and engage children in the playground. Specifically, actively attract and engage means the artefact invites players and sustains their attention on the activities. Research through design is used to study the behaviour of our participant. Previous observation data are used to give an initial idea of playground structure and play activities. After the analysis, on-field observation was conduct in the Magistratshagen playground. A visual and audio based scenario design is created to gather more data on attracting attention. The result showed that audio and visual element has a significant advantage on grabbing player’s attention. However, the visual and audio effect in the design fails to keep participants’ attention. The concept of social interaction should be considered when we are designing attracting and engaging interaction for playground artefact.

Full textAbstract:
Aggression between students at school is a common problem, particularly within the context of the school playground. Key mechanisms in coercion theory, including positive and negative reinforcement for aggression and peer deviancy training, can operate with abandon on school playgrounds without adult supervision, monitoring, and appropriate intervention. The Linking the Interests of Families and Teachers (LIFT) multimodal preventive intervention, designed to address aggression on the playground, is described. The short-term and intermediate follow-up findings from a randomized controlled trial of LIFT on aggression on the playground as well as other forms of child antisocial behavior are overviewed. Long-term follow-up findings on the relations between playground aggression and antisocial behaviors during mid-adolescence and emerging adulthood are then reported. It is argued that to be effective, coercion theory–based prevention programs like LIFT need to continue across elementary school and into secondary school, rather than be delivered at only one point in time.

Many call Vrindavan the spiritual capital of India, for it’s long been recognized as the playground where Krishna spends his eternal youth. Today, however, the world is gobbling it up. Delhi’s sprawl inches closer day by day—half the town is a vast real-estate development—and the waters of the Yamuna are too polluted to drink or even bathe in. Temples now style themselves as theme parks, and the world’s tallest religious building is under construction in Krishna’s pastoral paradise. What happens when the Anthropocene Age makes everything virtual? What happens when heaven gets plowed under? Like our age as a whole, Vrindavan throbs with feisty energy, but is it the canary in our collective coal mine? This book lays bare the glories and struggles of Vrindavan today—its waters and its thirst, its widows and its women, its newcomers (like ISKCON), and its old hands. It shows us the real Vrindavan—a parable of Hinduism in rapid change.

This chapter presents a reading of Anne Richardson Roiphe's novel Up the Sandbox! (1970). The novel creates a split narrative for its main character, one of liberation and social change juxtaposed against one of middle-class domestic life, to demonstrate the cultural minefields in place for women who challenge patriarchal norms. Roiphe's ambivalent ending tests traditional notions of the consciousness-raising novel and points to a nuanced view of white liberal motherhood. It is argued that, in her portrayal of the monstrous cleaved self of the mother, Roiphe attempts to wrestle mothering from its patriarchal moorings and set it loose in the playground of feminist politics.

Full textAbstract:
Abiotic variables and biotic interactions can act on variation in life history traits, ultimately leading to divergence in reproductive mode. Marine invertebrates have a remarkable diversity in such strategies, sometimes even between closely related species. It is this natural diversity that lends itself to employing a powerful comparative approach, both for particular morphological characteristics as well as molecular signatures from developmental genes. For example, complex life histories, where a larval stage is interposed between the embryo and juvenile, likely represent the product of numerous selection pressures, historical and current, that have shaped the diversity of larval stages in extant marine species. In fact, the very question about “what is a larva?” has to be addressed, as it is so intimately connected to bentho-planktonic life cycle and metamorphosis. Furthermore, novel larval types have evolved in particular lineages and larvae have been secondarily lost in others. This in itself creates an interesting and exciting playground to test evolutionary developmental hypotheses....

This chapter examines the environmental impact of residents' behavior and the Prairie Crossing Homeowners Association's conservation management practices. Prairie restoration and preservation at Prairie Crossing plays a secondary role, mainly cultural in nature—and equally as important as the development's primary ecological purpose. The prairie acts as the symbol of Prairie Crossing, giving the development not only a name but also a character, the first impression a prospective buyer assimilates. The prairie and open space provide a positive feedback loop for the conservation agenda, offering for adult residents a sense of connection to the land, and for children a playground to stimulate the natural experience. In addition to the Prairie Crossing Homeowners Association's conservation practices and residents' conservation practices and behaviors, this chapter considers how Prairie Crossing combats knowledge deficits with both formal and informal educational settings. It also describes energy conservation as a guiding principle of Prairie Crossing as well as the project's economic viability.

This chapter closely engages African American beauty culture. Advertisements for beauty products such as hair pomades and skin bleaches comprised a significant portion of advertisements in African American newspapers throughout the early twentieth century. The advertisements for beauty products targeting African American women unveil a discourse and an industry that were instrumental to the materialization of a New Negro culture. Through advertisements and open discussions about African American beauty, self-presentation and adornment shifted from an individual/private sphere issue to a formidable public culture site of individual and collective expressivity during the New Negro era. African American beauty culture thrived as a site of reinvention and re-imagining for New Negro women. It also offered multiple authorial roles in which these women could partake, including: producer, consumer, and manufacturer. In Washington, this black women’s beauty culture was a thriving industry as well as a battleground and playground for black women actualizing themselves as New Negro women.

Full textAbstract:
Other works may excel this in depth of thought and knowledge of human nature: other books may rival it in originality and size; but, for hopeless and incurable vivacity, nothing yet discovered can surpass it.’ Three Men in a Boat describes a comic expedition by middle-class Victorians up the Thames to Oxford. It provides brilliant snap-shots of London's playground in the late 1880s, where the fashionable steam-launches of river swells encounter the hired skiffs of city clerks. The medley of social vignettes, farcical incidents, descriptions of river fashions, and reflections on the Thames's history, is interspersed with humorous anecdotes told by a natural raconteur. Three Men on the Bummel records a similar escapade, a break from the claustrophobia of suburban life some ten years later; their cycling tour in the Black Forest, at the height of the new bicycling craze, affords Jerome the opportunity for a light-hearted scrutiny of German social customs at a time of increasing general interest in a country that he loved. This account of middle-aged Englishmen abroad is spiced with typical Jeromian humour.

Full textAbstract:
In 1960–62, a large number of white autochthonous parents in Southall became very concerned that the sudden influx of largely non-Anglophone Indian immigrant children in local schools would hold back their children’s education. It was primarily to placate such fears that ‘dispersal’ (or ‘bussing’) was introduced in areas such as Southall and Bradford, as well as to promote the integration of mostly Asian children. It consisted in sending busloads of immigrant children to predominantly white suburban schools, in an effort to ‘spread the burden’. This form of social engineering went on until the early 1980s. This book, by mobilising local and national archival material as well as interviews with formerly bussed pupils in the 1960s and 1970s, reveals the extent to which dispersal was a flawed policy, mostly because thousands of Asian pupils were faced with racist bullying on the playgrounds of Ealing, Bradford, etc. It also investigates the debate around dispersal and the integration of immigrant children, e.g. by analysing the way some Local Education Authorities (Birmingham, London) refused to introduce bussing. It studies the various forms that dispersal took in the dozen or so LEAs where it operated. Finally, it studies local mobilisations against dispersal by ethnic associations and individuals. It provides an analysis of debates around ‘ghetto schools’, ‘integration’, ‘separation’, ‘segregation’ where quite often the US serves as a cognitive map to make sense of the English situation.

Aim/Purpose: To understand the current state of the body of literature in blockchain technology and propose dimensions for acceptance. Background: Blockchain technology has large promise to replace centralized and even distributed database systems. Its premise focuses on issues such as transparency, immutability, and privacy of transactions. Created for bitcoin, researchers and practitioners have begun to see its potential in different areas and industries. Its acceptance is still debatable as there are a number of issues still to be resolved. Methodology: We conducted a literature review to assess the size and scope of the body of research in the are of blockchain applications and carried a conceptual analysis for blockchain acceptance. Contribution: We provide an assessment of the body of literature in the are of blockchain and cluster the number of articles according to application groupings. We show that research in blockchain cannot be considered that it even started due to its diverse, scattered and weak related studies. At the same time, blockchain is still faced with a lot of resistance yet no one is studying its acceptance. We therefore propose dimension for its acceptance, as adapted from the very rich area of ecommerce research. Findings: Body of research is at its infancy. Research is scattered and weak. Most research is related to bitcoin and cryptocurrency. There is a great need to study the application of blockchain outside its current focus on cryptocurrency. Areas of study of blockchain applications include internet of things, energy and finance – other areas are identified. Dimensions for blockchain acceptance are proposed and include: reputation, risk, usefulness, and intentions. Recommendations for Practitioners: Blockchain has great potential to be applied in areas such as medicine, aviation and disaster relief. In terms of blockchain characteristics, practitioners have a lot of room to innovate in various approaches such as the blockchain hashing algorithm, smart contracts and peer validation. These do not need to be fixed but can vary based on the business characteristics. Recommendations for Researchers: Research in the application of blockchain can be considered as not even started. The application of blockchain is an open playground which today few have stepped in to enjoy. Research opportunities include but are not limited to energy consumption of blockchain transactions, dimensions to blockchain adoption and acceptance, adaptability of blockchain to various industries, and innovation in blockchain characteristics such as new approaches to peer validation of transactions.
