Exploring Winery Operation as a Diversification Option for Native American Tribal Enterprises

The purpose of this research is to examine the perceptions of tribal members regarding the strengths, challenges, and opportunities presented by tribal winery operation. Specifically, issues of business diversification, marketing, perceived barriers to success, potential benefits to the tribe, and the role of agriculture in the preservation of tribal heritage were considered. A modified mixed-methods exploratory sequential research model was used to collect and organize data in two phases. Phase 1 quantitative data was used to inform the development of a Phase 2 qualitative interview protocol. Phase 1 found a significant relationship between a higher income level and a lower perception of barriers to entry into the wine industry for tribal entities. Additionally, respondents with an acculturation rating of Bicultural were found to have a higher perception of barriers to entry into the wine industry than those rated as Assimilated. In relation to marketing tribal winery products, the safest categories for marketing consideration were geography, animals, and tribal writing. Ceremonial dress and historic figures were rated as neutral, and totems were rated as unacceptable. Finally, perceived viability of a tribally operated winery in respondents’ own tribe and the perceived viability of a tribally operated winery in tribes other than respondents were compared to respondents’ average perception of barriers and benefits. A significant positive relationship was found between respondents’ perceived viability of a winery within their own tribe and their perception of the benefits a winery could offer. A significant negative relationship was found between respondents’ perceived viability of a winery within their own tribe and their perception of the barriers to inception. For tribes other than respondents’ own, a higher perceived viability of a winery had a significant positive relationship with the perception of the benefits to winery operation. Phase 2 qualitative interviews followed to elaborate on the various aspects of each of these areas of consideration

Robust Machine Learning-Based Correction on Automatic Segmentation of the Cerebellum and Brainstem.

Automated segmentation is a useful method for studying large brain structures such as the cerebellum and brainstem. However, automated segmentation may lead to inaccuracy and/or undesirable boundary. The goal of the present study was to investigate whether SegAdapter, a machine learning-based method, is useful for automatically correcting large segmentation errors and disagreement in anatomical definition. We further assessed the robustness of the method in handling size of training set, differences in head coil usage, and amount of brain atrophy. High resolution T1-weighted images were acquired from 30 healthy controls scanned with either an 8-channel or 32-channel head coil. Ten patients, who suffered from brain atrophy because of fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome, were scanned using the 32-channel head coil. The initial segmentations of the cerebellum and brainstem were generated automatically using Freesurfer. Subsequently, Freesurfer's segmentations were both manually corrected to serve as the gold standard and automatically corrected by SegAdapter. Using only 5 scans in the training set, spatial overlap with manual segmentation in Dice coefficient improved significantly from 0.956 (for Freesurfer segmentation) to 0.978 (for SegAdapter-corrected segmentation) for the cerebellum and from 0.821 to 0.954 for the brainstem. Reducing the training set size to 2 scans only decreased the Dice coefficient ≤0.002 for the cerebellum and ≤ 0.005 for the brainstem compared to the use of training set size of 5 scans in corrective learning. The method was also robust in handling differences between the training set and the test set in head coil usage and the amount of brain atrophy, which reduced spatial overlap only by <0.01. These results suggest that the combination of automated segmentation and corrective learning provides a valuable method for accurate and efficient segmentation of the cerebellum and brainstem, particularly in large-scale neuroimaging studies, and potentially for segmenting other neural regions as well

HUKUMAN KEBIRI KIMIA BAGI PELAKU KEJAHATAN SEKSUAL TERHADAP ANAK DALAM PERSPEKTIF HAK ASASI MANUSIA

Kejahatan kekerasan seksual di Indonesia mengalami peningkatan tiap tahunnya. Hukuman pidana bagi pelaku kekerasan seksual sebagaimana tercantum dalam KUHP dan UU Perlindungan Anak dianggap belum efektif sehingga Pemerintah menerbitkan UU Nomor 17 Tahun 2016 yang menerapkan pemberatan sanksi pidana bagi pelaku  kekerasan seksual diantaranya dengan memberlakukan kebiri secara kimiawi. Penerapan kebiri secara kimiawi ini menimbulkan pro dan kontra di tengah-tangah masyarakat terkait efektifitasnya dan pemberlakuannya yang dianggap melanggar hak asasi manusia sebagaimana termuat dalam UUD 1945 dan Undang-Undang Nomor 39 Tahun 1999 tentang HAM. Untuk menggali problematika tersebut maka perumusan masalah pada penelitian ini adalah : bagaimana tujuan hukum kebiri kimia bagi pelaku kejahatan seksual terhadap anak? Bagaimana penerapan hukum kebiri kimia bagi pelaku kejahatan seksual terhadap anak di Indonesia? Bagaimana efektifitas hukuman kebiri kimia bagi pelaku kejahatan seksual terhadap anak dikaitkan dengan hak asasi manusia? Metode penelitian dalam kaitannya dengan penulisan tesis ini termasuk jenis penelitian hukum normatif, yaitu penelitian hukum yang didasarkan pada data sekunder. Dalam penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan (statute approach) dan pendekatan konsep (conceptual approach). Hasil penelitian tesis ini menunjukkan: (1) Hukuman kebiri kimia dalam UU No. 17 Tahun 2016 bertujuan untuk memberikan efek jera bagi pelaku, pidana kebiri kimia dalam undang-undang tersebut merupakan pidana tambahan sebagaimana yang dirumuskan dalam ketentuan Pasal 81 Ayat (7). (2) Penerapan hukuman kebiri kimia diatur dalam Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 70 Tahun 2020 tentang Tata Cara Pelaksanaan Tindakan Kebiri Kimia, Pemasangan Alat Pendeteksi Elektronik, Rehabilitasi, dan Pengumuman Identitas PelakuKekerasan Seksual terhadap Anak. (3) Efektivitas penegakkan hukuman kebiri kimia sangat tergantung pada hubungan sinergi antara faktor-faktor penegakan hukum, yaitu faktor undang-undang itu sendiri, faktor aparat penegak hukum, faktor sarana dan prasarana, dan faktor budaya hukum masyarakat
