Więzienie w Guantanamo jako przykład biopolitycznego paradygmatu globalnej wojny z terroryzmem

Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp as an Example of Biopolitical Framework of Global War on Terror The aim of this article is to introduce the problem of indefinite detainees of Guantanamo Bay into the framework of biopolitical interpretation of Global War on Terror (GWOT). From the very first days of GWOT, the George W. Bush administration mobilized all available resources to fight with everyone suspected as a potential terrorist in all areas, including legal area. The intentional consequence of this fight was the elimination of political rights for indefinite detainees. Potentially risky individuals were suspected in the context of normal law – what can be perceived as a visible result of sovereign’s decisions and actions – and were transformed into bare lives, figure of homini sacri. Homo sacer means an individual being excluded from the society and social order; it means the situation of being deprived of personal political rights, where the essence of human existence is diminished to physical aspects exclusively. According to Giorgio Agamben and his concept of biopolitics, the camp per se, is the paradigm of modernity. It is the place of permanent production of bare lives, the materialized place of state of exception, the place of law suspension. In the context of post-9/11, Guantanamo detention camp became the pure exemplification of Agamben’s biopolitical camp.

IoT-Enabled Smart Cities: Evolution and Outlook

For the last decade the Smart City concept has been under development, fostered by the growing urbanization of the world’s population and the need to handle the challenges that such a scenario raises. During this time many Smart City projects have been executed–some as proof-of-concept, but a growing number resulting in permanent, production-level deployments, improving the operation of the city and the quality of life of its citizens. Thus, Smart Cities are still a highly relevant paradigm which needs further development before it reaches its full potential and provides robust and resilient solutions. In this paper, the focus is set on the Internet of Things (IoT) as an enabling technology for the Smart City. In this sense, the paper reviews the current landscape of IoT-enabled Smart Cities, surveying relevant experiences and city initiatives that have embedded IoT within their city services and how they have generated an impact. The paper discusses the key technologies that have been developed and how they are contributing to the realization of the Smart City. Moreover, it presents some challenges that remain open ahead of us and which are the initiatives and technologies that are under development to tackle them.

Evaluation of Forest and Climate Change Empowerment Programs of Long Laai Village, Kecamatan Segah Berau District

ABSTRACT: The community participation program in conserving village forests is carried out by the Forest and Climate Change Program of Long Laai Village. Indonesia's forest is one of the third largest tropical forests in the world and is ranked second in terms of diversity. From an ecological, economic and social perspective, it turns out that the level of forest destruction in Indonesia is still relatively high from year to year due to uncontrolled exploitation activities carried out massively without paying attention to sustainability and sustainability. Kalimantan is one of the lungs of the world whose forest area is 40.8 million hectares. According to data released by the forestry department, the deforestation rate in Kalimantan from 2000 to 2005 reached around 1.23 million hectares. Berau District has an area of 2,194,299,525 hectares consisting of protection forest, limited production forest, permanent production forest, conservation forest and other areas of use. The successes and failures achieved by the community and the Forest and Climate Change program and the supporting and hindering factors for the program's running are a village approach strategy to raise community awareness in maintaining and utilizing forest products. ABSTRAK: Program partisipasi masyarakat dalam melestarikan hutan desa dilaksanakan oleh Forest and Climate Change Programme Desa Long Laai. Hutan Indonesia merupakan salah satu hutan tropis terluas ketiga di dunia dan ditempatkan pada urutan kedua dalam hal tingkat keanekaragaman. Dari sisi ekologi, ekonomi dan sosial ternyata tingkat kerusakkan hutan di Indonesia masih relatif tinggi dari tahun ketahun diakibatkan kegiatan eksploitasi yang tidak terkendali dan dilakukan secara masif tanpa memperhatikan kelestarian serta keberlanjutan. Kalimantan adalah salah satu paru-paru dunia luas hutannya yaitu, 40,8 juta hektar. Menurut data yang dikeluarkan departemen kehutanan angka deforestasi Kalimantan pada tahun 2000 sampai 2005 mencapai sekitar 1,23 juta hektar. Kabupaten Berau memiliki luas wilayah 2.194.299,525 Ha yang terdiri dari Hutan Lindung, Hutan Produksi Terbatas, Hutan Produksi Tetap, Hutan Konservasi, dan Areal penggunaan Lain. Keberhasilan dan kegagalan yang dicapai masyarakat dan Forest and Climate Change programme dan faktor pedukung dan penghambat jalannya program ada strategi pendekatan desa untuk membangkitkan kesadaran masyarakat dalam menjaga dan memanfaatkan hasil hutan.

Data-Enabled Modeling and Performance Evaluation of Multistage Serial Manufacturing Systems With Quality Rework

In a multistage serial production line, products with defect can be repaired or reworked to ensure high product quality. This paper studies a multistage serial manufacturing system with quality rework loops. Rework is the activity to repair or repeat the work on the defect parts during manufacturing processes, and it adds to cost and cycle time. This paper introduces an event-based data-enabled mathematical model for a stochastic production line with quality rework loops. The system performance properties are analyzed and permanent production loss due to quality rework loops is identified. The mathematical model and system performance identification methodology are studied analytically through numerical case studies.

Corrective Maintenance Scheduling for Stochastic Manufacturing System by Online Task Allocation Method

Disruption events such as machine random failures significantly impact the throughput of the line. Maintenance actions could restore the machines to certain health levels. A real-time scheduling of corrective maintenance (CM) is critical to improve the machines’ performance, hence to improve overall system productivity and quality. Due to the limited quantity of technicians or robots in manufacturing system, when, where and assign what type of maintenance is a complicated decision to make. A proper strategy to assign CM can greatly reduce permanent production lost, resource and energy consumption. In this paper, an online task allocation (OTA) method is provided to solve the assignment of CM for a stochastics serial production line. Case study is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of OTA method in assigning CM.

Does Casualization Increase the Job Opportunity to the Workers or Impoverish Them? An Evidence from Indian-Organized Manufacturing Sector

This article investigates the impact of casualization on the labour market of organized manufacturing industries in India. In specific, this article analyses the impact of casualization on the labour demand and output elasticity of 15 manufacturing industries in the post-liberalization period for the direct production workers. Dynamic panel data analysis of system generalized methods of moment method is used here for the estimation of lagged labour demand for permanent production workers. Aggregate level analysis ensures that casualization has a significant positive impact on the labour demand and on output elasticity. Disaggregate level analysis also confirms the significant positive impact on the output elasticity at individual industry level. However, wage share of the workers falls along with the increase in the usage of contract workers across most of the industries. Output elasticity increases but at the cost of falling wage share. Casualization generates more job opportunity but reduces the wage share for the permanent production workers in post-liberalization period. JEL Codes: J20, J21, J30, J46, C23
