A tyrannical societal something: Drawing lessons for twenty-first-century ‘privacy-protecting’ technology from long nineteenth-century literature

This paper demonstrates a novel, literature-based approach to the consideration and regulation of advanced computational and data systems, in particular artificial intelligence (AI). The paper contributes uniquely to the discourse of AI through its proposal that although we may think of AI as presenting a distinctly contemporary challenge, in fact, its roots can only be explored by starting with the discourses, narratives and social imaginaries of the long nineteenth century. To illustrate this, the paper looks at one of the most widely recognised cultural threats associated with big data and AI systems, namely the threat to privacy. It explores how the concept of privacy might be viewed, and ultimately managed, differently through the application of an historical and literary frame of reference, deploying a mixed-methods close and distant reading of novels in English and German. For this, we focus on two specific literary exempla, each of which illustrates the function of privacy in society. This close reading is complemented with exploration of experimental data generated by using a modern privacy dictionary to query a large corpus of nineteenth-century novels and a modern test corpus comprised of policy discussions targeting privacy issues related to the rise of big data and AI.

THE LEGAL PROTECTION FOR VICTIMS OF CRIMINAL ACTS IN BINOMO TRADING FRAUD

The objective of this study is to analyze the recovery of assets and the protection of victims in cases of Binomo trading fraud under Indonesian criminal law. The research methodology employed is normative legal research, utilizing a literature-based approach. The findings of this study reveal that the decision made by the Panel of Judges in case number 1240: Pid.Sus/2022/PN.Tng was deemed unjust for the victims, leading to an appeal hearing resulting in decision number 117/Pid.Sus/2022/PT.BTN. According to this court decision, the confiscated evidence in the Indra Kenz case was to be returned to the victims through the United Indonesian Traders Association. However, the process of returning the evidence encountered complications due to internal conflicts among the victim association members. As a result, there is currently no clarity regarding the completion of the restitution of the victims' losses. The government, through the LPSK, regulates the restitution of victims' losses as stipulated in Perma Number 1 of 2022. Nevertheless, the LPSK is not involved in the process of returning the victims' losses, which is instead handled by the United Indonesian Traders Association.

Pentingnya Pendidikan Kewirausahaan Ditanamkan Sejak Usia Sekolah Dasar dalam Perspektif Islam

The aim of entrepreneurship education is to develop attitudes, enthusiasm and the ability to create something of value for oneself and others. Creative, innovative, independent, leadership, good money management and never giving up are entrepreneurial attitudes that must be instilled in children from an early age. As followers of the Prophet Muhammad SAW we need to learn from his figure as an entrepreneur. Where in his journey as an entrepreneur, Rasulullah successfully proved that to start a business one does not have to have money first, there are other elements that are more important than that, namely that one must have the right entrepreneurial mentality. The purpose of this article is to analyze the importance of entrepreneurship education instilled from elementary school age in an Islamic perspective. This research uses a qualitative method with a literature-based approach. Qualitative research relies on the collection and analysis of non-numerical data (such as text, video, or audio) to understand concepts, opinions, or results. Entrepreneurship education taught at elementary school level is believed to be able to reduce children's consumption habits, train them to create something of value and give birth to the next generation to create jobs in the future.

Improving the equity landscape at U.S. academic institutions: 10 strategies to lead change

In the United States, disparities with respect to race, ethnicity, and gender are common across academic institutions, particularly those that are large and have health research-oriented missions. Disparity-affected issues include leadership roles, funding, tenure, and salary. This paper presents a review of the current literature describing those disparities, with a focus on health professions serving major universities in the United States, and proposes approaches to create greater diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) within them. While many organizations nationally are working to address DEIB disparities, academic institutions can benefit from implementing structured approaches and training to nurture their cultures, foster DEIB, and promote psychological safety. We present a literature-based 10-component approach institutions can adopt with relative ease and thus positively support advancing their DEIB engagement. These 10 strategies include the following: Clearly stating DEI values; Conducting gap analyses to identify issues; Using incentives to propel change; Removing bias from recruiting processes; Implementing blind applications processes; Diversifying selection committees; Creating inter-institutional partnerships that truly represent shared power; Developing people and the pipeline; Formalizing mentorship and sponsorship programs; and instituting anti-bias training. Easily implementable strategies can both foster change and build the will and confidence to pursue larger DEIB goals in the future.

Intercultural Communicative Competence Model Using English Literature: A Case Study at Some Islamic Universities in Indonesia

The acquisition of intercultural competence is considered paramount in enabling learners to engage comfortably with individuals from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. The ability to communicate and interact appropriately with individuals from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds is increasingly recognized as a fundamental component of the 21st century learning skillset. To investigate the attitudes, knowledge, and skills of students in relation to intercultural activities, this study employs a literature-based instructional approach. The implementation of the Intercultural communicative competence through English Literature (ICC-EL) paradigm among 92 students enrolled in the English Education Study Program at an Islamic higher education institution is the subject of this study. The research adopted a mixed-method approach to generate both quantitative and qualitative data. Specifically, a questionnaire was administered to students upon the completion of the course to elicit quantitative data, while qualitative data was obtained through observation of the students' performance by the course lecturer. The results demonstrate that the implementation of the ICC-EL model has proven to be successful in stimulating the students' intercultural communication skills. Furthermore, the study of literary materials in the form of English novels has encouraged students to administer their awareness of intercultural communication skills. The incorporation of a variety of techniques has provided students with greater exposure to diverse languages and cultures, thereby encouraging them to manage their intercultural communication skills. The assessment of intercultural communication competency employed in the ICC-EL model is deemed appropriate and adaptable for implementation in different language teaching and evaluation contexts.

Developing assessment flow for damage estimation of mud housing typology through a case study against coastal floods

Rising instances of prolonged inundation due to climate-aggravated high tide flooding are economically burdensome for resource-crunched developing nations that bear enormous damage due to loss of built infrastructure (housing in this case). Regardless of the loss, coastal flood impact on buildings is rarely given precedence. The mud building typology in India captures 34% of existing housing demand primarily within ruralIndia; for instance, 75% of the housing in Sagar Island uses mud as the dominant construction material, making it an ideal case for the proposed research. The multivariate nature of damage and empirical data constraint associated with mud buildings propels the development of two unconventional damage assessment approaches using multivariate-probabilistic technique. The proposed literature-based approach uses logical reasoning based on the available scientific evidence whereas the lab-based approach uses the insights from structural analysis of scaled model. The damage matrix created from both the approaches are used to analyse a common flood data (depth & duration) generated using 1000 Montecarlo simulations. The resultant Damage Stage values confirm the versatility of either approach over spatial (local to regional)—temporal (flood character and intensity) dimensions. The lab-based approach proved to be a better alternative considering the availability of continuous records on damage behaviour and precise information on the flood threshold of dominant building material, a crucial component of the multivariate damage assessment process.
