Practical Wisdom and Big Data Dilemmas: The Case of the Swedish Transport Administration

Using big data in organizations has the potential to improve innovation, accuracy, and efficiency. Big data is also connected with risks for both the organization and society at large. It is therefore important to improve our understanding of potential consequences of implementing and using big data. We studied the Swedish Transport Administration to understand their attitude towards implementing big data for prediction of, for example, the need for road maintenance. The analysis identified four moral dilemmas that the organization deals with in connection to big data. We discuss these dilemmas from the perspective of practical wisdom. Practical wisdom is manifested in context-dependent actions connected to open-mindedness, reflection and judgment. It can be summed up as “the reasonable thing to do” in a unique situation where “not-knowing” is a helpful resource when making wise decisions. This paper seeks to shed light on the importance of practical wisdom when implementing big data

Intelligence without Data

This article explores intelligence without data. More specifically, it reveals what the study of big data ignores in the trinity age of big data, analytics, and intelligence, and looks at DIKEW intelligence through presenting an integrated framework of intelligence. It then examines intelligence without data and wisdom algebra. It demonstrates that intelligence without data consists of information intelligence without data, knowledge intelligence without data, experience without data, intelligence without data, and wisdom intelligence without data, based on the hierarchy of wisdom. It argues that big data must incorporate intelligence without data to serve the world. At the same time, intelligence without data could enhance human intelligence, cognitive intelligence, machine intelligence, and business intelligence

Impact of New Technology on Reading Habits: A Glimpse on the World Literature

Reading helps in all-round development of a person from his birth to death. It adds new sight to eyes and new wisdom to mind. A dump person becomes a communicator and a lame climbs mountains of knowledge through reading. However, in the modern multimedia society, the radio, television, cell phone, computer and the Internet have captured a big slice of time and reading has taken a back seat. These new gadgets of technology have become the “Time Eating Machine” and reading has almost become a closed book. Children, youth and adults alike are more inclined towards new technology for information, entertainment and pleasure. This paper attempts to summarize the literature available worldwide on this issue to identify the impact of new technology on reading habits

Pengembangan Kurikulum Berbasis Pendidikan Spiritualitas dalam Kearifan Lokal di Jawa

The research objective is to examine the development of a curriculum based on spirituality education in Indonesian local wisdom, descriptive qualitative methods with literature review, and analysis techniques using the triangulation of miles and huberman. Result shows the development of a curriculum based on spiritual education in local wisdom is only a fraction of the values ​​and content of various knowledge about local wisdom of the Indonesian nation in general and the Javanese society in particular. Even then, we still need to discuss scientifically and thoroughly related to local wisdom. And it will be more interesting, if it is examined from a specific scientific perspective, for example looking at local wisdom from the side of law, da'wah or communication, anthropology and sociology, mass psychology, even national economy and politics. Therefore, local wisdom as the culture of the local community is a big investment for the development of Islam in Indonesia. An investment that must be nurtured and sown in our education, so that the presence of Islam in the midst of the old and new culture is always shady and calm in Indonesian soil

Analytics in the Pursuit of Knowledge: Adapting the Knowledge Pyramid

Advances in storage leading to the Internet of Things (IOT) and Big Data has exponentially increased the Data aspect of the traditional Knowledge Pyramid - Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom (DIKW). This paper presents an adaptation of the Knowledge Pyramid as an Analytics Pyramid in which Time is posited to represent Wisdom as the pinnacle achievement when pursuing knowledge. Analogies of the DIKW are presented from the Analytics Pyramid as Description-Aggregation-Modeling-Time. Implementing the premise of the Analytics Pyramid focuses on an interative/repetitive movement of both individuals and organizations through all Description-Aggregation-Modeling-Time stages in order to build and obtain the Wisdom pursued in the traditional Knowledge Pyramid. This model reinforces organizational learning and the importance of adaptability when pursuing knowledge. In addition, the wisdom gained from analytics is only recognized when monitored business processes are longitudinal in nature. Organizational analytics must rely on the recognition of a changing environment (Time) in order to adapt

Bringing Local Wisdom-Based Local Government into Practice: A Quadrant Strategy Analysis

Managing local government in a multicultural state is a big challenge. Governing style whether using Continental or Anglo-Saxon style cannot be fully implemented in a multicultural state such as Indonesia. Conflict reconciliation in Aceh Province of Indonesia had left some conceptual anomalies including the practice of local government. Local wisdom-based local government implemented in Aceh made the public curiosity aroused on how it was brought into practice. This research was carried out qualitatively with phenomenological approach focusing on strategy of bringing local wisdom-based local government into practice. The result showed some lessons learned from the phenomenon in Aceh such as the success story of conflict reconciliation although not following the standard conflict reconciliation done in many countries, ‘small gifts’ from Aceh, and conceptual anomalies. We proposed some re-conceptualizations on (1) theory of conflict reconciliation, (2) theory of exit and voice, (3) concept of six dimensions of local government, and (4) concept of separatist movement transformation. The proposed strategy on local wisdom-based local government was based on quadrant strategy analysis which combined the directed system of government and identity. Of the four quadrant strategies, local wisdom-based local government can be realized in scenario Quadrant I which combined the self-directed government (decentralized government) system and cosmopolitan identity. The recommended framework also suggested that both local and national wisdom should be concerned at all stage of governing along with quadrant strategy analysis in order to bring local wisdom-based local government into practice. Keywords: local government, local wisdom, quadrant strategy, conceptual anomaly

Owning Heller

Recent historical research using big-data techniques casts doubt on whether District of Columbia v. Heller was rightly decided according to originalist methods. These new discoveries put originalists in a bind. Do they embrace “faint hearted” originalism: the idea that as between the need for stability in prior decision making, settled expectations, and the coherence of the law, some adulterated decisions must remain enforced for the greater good? Or do they follow Justice Thomas’s reasoning in Gamble v. United States, remain stout-hearted, and reject any prior decision that cannot be supported by the common linguistic usage of the founding era – even if that means rejecting Heller? One thing this new research makes abundantly clear: the Second Amendment is in the Court’s hands. How it develops—for good or ill—will be a function solely of the wisdom with which the Court articulates its mandates
