Kinerja pembangunan pertanian nasional secara umum masih jauh dari harapan berbagai pemangku kepentingan. Impor berbagai komoditas pangan, hortikultura, dan peternakan bahkan cenderung meningkat. Pembangunan pertanian belum bisa meningkatkan kemakmuran dan kesejahteraan bagi para pelaku produksi seperti petani, pekebun, petani hutan, pembudi daya ikan, nelayan, peternak, serta pelaku lain yang terkait. Kebijakan pembangunan pertanian yang tambal sulam dan parsial belum memberikan perubahan yang fundamental bagi perbaikan kesejahteraan masyarakat pertanian. Dalam buku ini, berbagai isu strategis pada berbagai komponen pembangunan pertanian dan pangan guna mewujudkan kedaulatan pangan dikelomp...
Sistem pangan di Indonesia dan seluruh dunia telah mengalami transformasi besar sejak hadirnya modernisasi pertanian. Ekosistem yang tadinya utuh telah merosot, beserta pola makan manusia, ketahanan pangan jangka panjang, dan kohesi sosial. Dengan menggunakan penelitian etnografi jangka panjang, kami mencatat hilangnya sistem pangan tradisional di Jawa, Bali, Timor Timur dan India, serta kebangkitan dan penemuan kembali metode produksi berkelanjutan dan sistem distribusi berbasis masyarakat baru-baru ini. Kini semakin banyak gerakan petani kecil yang menolak paradigma dominan pembangunan kapitalis yang agresif, dan menciptakan kembali sistem pangan berbasis ekologi moral – konsep baru yang...
Shifting States draws on a rich history of anthropological theorising on all kinds of states – from the pre- to the post- industrial – and explores topics as diverse as bureaucracy, infrastructure, surveillance, securitization, and public health. As we enter the third decade of the twentieth century, there is a growing sense that ‘the state’ is in crisis everywhere. Although the nature of this perceived crisis varies from place to place, everywhere it is seen to have been caused by some combination of the inter-related forces of ‘globalisation’, of successive economic shocks, and of the rise of social media-fuelled populist movements. Yet, conversely, there is also a creeping per...
This book is the first work that comprehensively presents the accounts of Lia Eden, a former flower arranger who claims to have received divine messages from the Archangel Gabriel and founded the divine Eden Kingdom in her house in Jakarta. This book places Lia Eden’s prophetic trajectory in the context of diverse Indonesian spiritual and religious traditions, by which hundreds of others also claimed to have been commanded by God to lead people and to establish religious groups. This book offers a fresh approach towards the rich Indonesian religious and spiritual traditions with particular attention to the accounts of the emergence of indigenous prophets who founded some popular religions....
Oral Wound Healing: Cell Biology and Clinical Management brings experts from around the world together to provide an authoritative reference on the processes, principles and clinical management of wound healing in the oral mucosa. Promoting a thorough understanding of current research on the topic, this new resource draws together thinking on the basic biological processes of wound healing in the oral environment, as well as providing more detailed information and discussion on processes such as inflammation, reepithelialization and angiogenesis. Beyond this, the book goes on to examine topics pertinent to the effective clinical management of oral wound healing, bringing together chapters on large dento-facial defects, dental implants, periodontal regeneration, and pulp healing.An essential synthesis of current research and clinical applications, Oral Wound Healing will be an indispensable resource for dental specialists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons as well as researchers in oral medicine and biology.
The State of Food Insecurity in the World 2010 presents the latest statistics on global underinvestment and concludes that structural problems of underinvestment have impeded progress towards the World Food Summit goal and the first Millennium Development Goal hunger reduction target. This disappointing state of affairs has been exacerbated by first the food crisis and now the global economic crisis that, together, have increased the number of undernourished people in the world to more than one billion for the first time since 1970. This crisis is different from the crisis developing countries have experienced in the past. In the context of the enormous financial pressures faced by governments, the twin-track approach remains an effective way to address growing levels of hunger in the world. Investments in the agriculture sector, especially for public goods, will be critical if hunger is to be eradicated. Also published in Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish.
Advanced machining processes has significant contributions to the manufacturing industries, especially since many new invented materials have advanced properties, which are difficult to machine using conventional machining processes. Therefore, advanced machining processes take a lead in dealing with these types of material. This book focuses on electrical machining and electrical dressing processes. Chapter 1 explains the electrochemical machining (ECM), includes process parameters that involved in the ECM processes. Chapter 2 deals with another advanced machining process, i.e. electro-discharge machining (EDM). Several process parameters that contribute to the EDM processes are also discussed. Electrical dressing is described in Chapter 3 as a special application of ECM and EDM. Finally, other types of non-conventional machining are explained in Chapter 4.

The current view among Western scholars of Islam concerning the early development of Islamic jurisprudence was shaped by Joseph Schacht’s famous study on the subject published 50 years ago. Since then new sources became available which make a critical review of his theories possible and desirable. This volume uses one of these sources to reconstruct the development of jurisprudence at Mecca, virtually unknown until now, from the beginnings until the middle of the second Islamic century. New methods of analysis are developed and tested in order to date the material contained in the earliest compilations of legal traditions more properly. As a result the origins of Islamic jurisprudence can be dated much earlier than claimed by Schacht and his school.
In describing medicinal plant cultivation, this book deals with the controlling possibilities of biological, economical and technical parameters, which influence the efficiency of the cultivation. It also looks at the special requirements needed for the primary processing of medicinal plants.
Written by Tarek El-Diwany, this book focuses on Islamic economics, usury, the history of banking and money creation.
