ASEAN RE-gender roadmap: roadmap on accelerating ASEAN renewable energy deployment through gender-responsive energy policy.

The role of the energy-gender nexus in accelerating renewable energy deployment in ASEAN remains underexplored. Current gender disparities severely impede the enhancement of women's roles and opportunities in the renewable energy sector, and hinder women's contributions to the energy transition. In addition to bringing attention to gendered issues and solutions at the renewable energy (RE) policy level, ASEAN is also attempting to support the achievement of its RE targets listed in the ASEAN Plan of Action on Energy Cooperation (APAEC) Phase II: 2021-2025 and to realise an inclusive and just energy transition as agreed at the 39th ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting (AMEM) Joint Ministerial Statement in 2021. Hence, ASEAN is developing this regional roadmap in order to incorporate a gender-responsive approach specifically relating to RE policymakers. This roadmap aims to chart a pathway which weaves women's potential contributions into ASEAN's emerging renewables market, creating a positive snowball effect which promotes gender equity, accelerates climate mitigation efforts and bolsters RE investments

Quality Translation Enhancement Using Sequence Knowledge and Pruning in Statistical Machine Translation

Machine translation has two important parts, a learning process which followed by a translation process. Unfortunately, most of the translation process requires complex operations and in-depth knowledge of the languages in order to give a good quality translation. This study proposes a better approach, which does not require in-depth knowledge of the linguistic properties of the languages, but it produces a good quality translation. This study evaluated 28 different parameters in IRSTLM language modeling, which resulting 270 millions experiments, and proposes a sequence evaluation mechanism based on a maximum evaluation of each parameter in producing a good quality translation based on NIST and BLEU. The parallel corpus and statistical machine learning for English and Bahasa Indonesia were used in this study. The pruning process, user interface, and the personalization of translation have a very important role in implementing of this machine translation. The result is quite promising. It shows that pruning process increases of the translation process time. The particular sequence knowledge/value parameter in translation process has a better performance than the other method using in-depth linguistic knowledge approaches. All these processes, including the process of parsing from a stand-alone mode to an online mode, are also discussed in detail

Old Age Poverty and Active Ageing in ASEAN

Ageing is an intergenerational issue with implications for everyone. Population ageing present itself with opportunity and challenges. So, the extent to which society prepare for and invest in an ageing population will determine whether it creates an additional burden or delivers demographic dividend

The Asian 'Noodle Bowl': Is it Serious for Business

A lively debate is taking place over the impact of free trade agreements (FTAs) on East Asia's business between those who view the agreements as a harmful Asian noodle bowl - i.e., overlapping regional trade agreements - of trade deals and others who see net beneficial effects in terms of regional liberalization and a building block to multilateral liberalization. A lack of enterprise-level data has made it difficult to resolve the debate. Providing new evidence from surveys of 609 East Asian firms (in Japan, Singapore, Republic of Korea [hereafter Korea], Thailand, and Philippines), this paper seeks to address the critical question of whether the Asian noodle bowl of multiple overlapping FTAs is harmful to business activity, particularly for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The surveys suggest that the Asian noodle bowl does not seem to have severely harmed the region's business activity to date. Use of FTA preferences is higher than expected from previous studies (22% of responding firms). Furthermore, only 27% of responding firms said that multiple rules of origin significantly added to business cost. However, as more currently under negotiation FTAs take effect and the complexity of the Asian noodle bowl increases, the business impact is likely to intensify. Implementation of key policies and closer publicprivate sector cooperation can help mitigate negative effects and facilitate a more SMEinclusive business response to FTAs. Suggestions include: encouraging most favored nation (MFN) liberalization, rationalization of rules of origin, upgrading origin administration, increased awareness of FTA provisions, improving business participation in FTA consultations, and SME support

ANALISA KUALITAS OLI TERHADAP JARAK TEMPUH OPERASIONAL DAN EMISI GAS BUANG MESIN SEPEDA MOTOR MENGGUNAKAN MINYAK JARAK (CASTOR OIL) DENGAN PENAMBAHAN OIL ADDITIVE (HEXAGONAL BORON NITRIDE DAN CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY)

Pelumasan memiliki peranan penting pada mesin dan peralatan yang didalamnya terdapat suatu komponen yang saling bergesekan yaitu sebagai pengaman agar tidak terjadi kerusakan yang fatal. Pelumas bio berbasis minyak nabati dapat memenuhi semua tuntutan baik dari fungsi maupun lingkungan. Saat ini regulasi emisi Euro IV sudah mulai diberlakukan sejak 2018 lalu tentang baku mutu emisi gas buag kendaraan bermotor. Kondisi seperti itu yang menuntut produsen pelumas di penjuru dunia harus menciptakan minyak pelumas yang sesuai standart Euro IV. Banyak produsen minyak pelumas yang mengembangkan dari bahan dasar mineral menggantinya menjadi bahan dasar nabati. Namun secara langsung tidak dapat dilakukan karena memiliki nilai kekentalan kinematik yang rendah dibandingkan dengan minyak bumi mineral dengan begitu harus dicampur dengan aditif untuk menaikan sifat kekentalan minyak nabati pada pengujian ini. Pada penelitian ini mesin uji yang digunakan yaitu mesin 4- langkah SOHC dengan 2-katup pada sepeda motor Honda Revo Fit 110 cc tahun 2018. Minyak jarak murni dan yang ditambahkan aditif digunakan secara langsung sebagai oli pelumas sampai jarak operasional mesin masing-masingnya 1125 km. Tujuan dari pengujian untuk mengetahui kinerja minyak pelumas dan penurunan kualitas dari oli pelumas. Hasil dari penelitian mengalami Keadan minyak pelumas setelah pemakaian mengalami penurunan rapat massa pada suhu 40℃ dan 100℃ setelah jarak tempuh operasional dari mesin, rapat massa sebesar 591,99 kg/m3 menjadi 436,92 kg/m3 pada suhu 40℃ dan 563,87 kg/m3 menjadi 413,09 kg/m3 pada suhu 100. Untuk kekentalan kinematik mengalami penurunan yang cukup signifikan pada suhu 40℃ maupun suhu 100℃. 51,43 cSt menjadi 42,31 cSt pada suhu 40℃ dan mengalami kenaikan 16,72 cSt menjadi 22,36 cSt pada suhu 100℃ untuk minyak nabati murni. Untuk nilai pH mengalami penurunan dari dari pH 7,8 menjadi 5,7 yang sudah mendekati asam kuat oli pelumas sudah harus diganti. Pengambilan sampel oli sebanyak 10 ml disetiap jarak tempuh 75 km sampai jarak pengujian 1125 km membuat oli berkurang sebanyak 150 ml
