The Sadness Story of Somebody of Millions Unfortunately Indonesian Peoples

2011-01-15T15:55:00.003+07:00

Prolog:
Kisah pilu ini adalah fakta yang tak terbantahkan...betapa hedonism life telah merasuki sebagian bangsa ini yang telah dininabobokan kekuasaan dan kemewahan, sehingga mata hati nuraninya membeku dan membutatuli... Lalu...dimanakah hati nurani kalian wahai para pemimpin negeri ini .... padahal kalian mendapatkan kursi kekuasaan dan kelimpahan kemewahan karena kucuran keringat berjuta-juta rakyat negeri ini yang kini hidup di kaki-kaki kalian...kini kalian hidup bergelimang harta dan menari-nari dengan kemewahan di atas kepedihan dan kesusahan hidup berjuta-juta rakyat negeri ini...Apakah ini wujud dari penjajahan oleh bangsa sendiri? It's miracle!

Anak UI Makan Sekali Sehari

Mimi Silvia

KAMPUS Universitas Indonesia (UI) sedang ramai. Mahasiswa berlalu-lalang riang gembira. Tapi tidak dengan David. Lelaki ini sedang murung. Matanya yang cekung menatap koperasi mahasiswa yang menjual berbagai jenis makanan pengganjal perut. Dia merogoh sakunya. Ia segera menjauh dari tempat itu. Uangnya tak cukup. Ada yang ngilu di ulu hatinya. Ingin ia menangis, tapi dia lelaki, harapan kedua orangtua dan adik-adiknya.
Perutnya terus berbunyi dan meminta makanan. Ia sedang lapar. Teringat ia ayah dan bundanya di desa, teringat sungai besar yang berbatu-batu banyak, teringat banyak.
Ia terus melangkah menjauh dari koperasi, sembari menunduk. Inilah dia, David Welkinson, mahasiswa Ilmu Komunikasi Universitas Indonesia yang masih tetap semangat kuliah walaupun tak punya dana untuk biaya hidup sehari-hari.
David hanya makan sekali sehari, pas pukul tujuh malam tanpa sarapan pagi. Mungkin karena itu, ia terpaksa dirawat di rumah sakit. Matanya yang cekung tak terlihat lagi. Badannya mulai berisi, karena pengaruh infus dan obat.
“Setiap hari, saya makan pakai tempe dan sayur, modalnya cuma Rp3000,” kata David di Jakarta, Rabu (22/12) Ia adalah tipikal anak Indonesia yang ingin menggapai masa depan seterang bintang di langit. Ia gayutkan cita-cita setinggi mungkin, ia tapaki hari-hari dengan kepala tegak. “Masa depan adalah sekarang,” bisiknya suatu kali.
Jika orang lain, setiap pekan bergegas ke ATM mengintip kiriman dari kampung, tidak dengan David. Ia mengaku tak dapat kiriman lagi dari orangtuanya. Terakhir, orang tuanya mengirimkan uang pada Januari 2010 sebesar Rp500 ribu untuk bayar kos.
Itu artinya setahun silam. Sejak itu, ia jadi anak alam, ditimang diayun nasib. Ia berbaur bersama puluhan ribu mahasiswa di universitas hebat itu. David adalah wajah Indonesia sesungguhnya.
Menurut dia, uang kiriman orangtuanya itu, merupakan hasil pinjaman orangtuanya ke tetangga. Tak bisa dilukiskan bagaimana susahnya orangtua David. Betapa mereka ingin agar anaknya kelak jadi orang.
Mendapat kiriman Rp500 ribu, bukan berarti, persoalan sudah selesai, sebab total uang kos yang harus dibayar Rp900 ribu. Untuk menutupi kekurangan, David meminjam kepada teman-temannya yang mampu dan belum diganti sampai sekarang.
“Pinjaman itu belum saya ganti juga,” kata dia.
Untuk makan sehari-hari, David kadang menjual donat di kampus, keuntungannya sekitar Rp10 ribu, itu pun kalau habis semua. Namun, sering tak habis dan terkadang juga rugi. David pun patah semangat dan mencoba untuk mengajar. Sampai sekarang belum ada tawaran untuk itu. Tidak ada panggilan dari tempat kursusnya.
“Saya berusaha mencari pekerjaan sambilan di sana-sini untuk menutupi biaya hidup saya. Kalau tak ada duit, saya pinjam teman, alhamdulillah mereka selalu membantu,” kata dia sambil memegang buku. Laki-laki ini memang terkenal pintar, IP nya selalu di atas 3,5. Dia tak ikut organisasi ataupun kepanitiaan kampus apapun, karena harus bermodalkan pulsa dan ujung-ujungnya lagi adalah duit. Namun, waktu SMA, laki-laki yang memiliki tinggi 155 ini pernah menjadi ketua OSIS.
Selain itu, karena terkenal pintar, David diandalkan oleh teman-temannya untuk belajar bersama untuk persiapan ujian. David dengan senang hati menjelaskan mata kuliah yang sulit kepada teman-temannya. Pernah juga, ia diminta untuk membuat makalah UAS temannya. Sebenarnya, ia tidak menyukai tindakan itu, namun karena dibayar Rp100.000 dan ia menyetujuinya. “Mungkin bagi sebagian orang ini perbuatan yang salah. tapi, berhubung saya tak punya duit dan itu tawaran menggiurkan, saya menerimanya.”
Cobaan yang dihadapinya tak sampai di sana. David masuk UI melalui jalur Kerja Sama Daerah dan Industri (KSDI) berasal dari salah satu provinsi. “Jangan tulis darimana saya berasal,” kata dia.
Sebenarnya, biaya kuliah dan biaya hidup David ditanggung pemerintah daerahnya. Tapi, dana dari pemerintah juga masih terbatas, sampai sekarang David harus bayar kuliahnya sendiri. Karena melalui jalur KSDI, ia tak bisa dapat beasiswa dari UI. Awal semester 5 ini, dia harus membayar uang kuliah sebanyak Rp10 juta. Jangankan untuk biaya kuliah, untuk biaya hidup saja ia sudah susah. Bahkan belakangan ia sering puasa.
Ia mencoba kembali minta bantuan ke daerahnya, tapi tak kunjung dibantu. Lalu, ia menceritakan masalah ini kepada teman-temannya jurusan Ilmu Komunikasi UI. Mahasiswa Komunikasi UI mengumpulkan duit dan akhirnya terkumpul duit sebanyak Rp10 juta dan kuliahnya masih lanjut sampai sekarang.
David menatap keramaian kantin. Badannya kembali lemas, ingin rasanya makan di sana, namun apa boleh buat tak ada uang. Ini bukan kali pertama ia merasakan lapar. Hampir tiap hari. Ia kembali mencoba melawannya. Waktu dulu, mungkin sempat terpikir untuk bunuh diri, mengakhiri semuanya karena tak mampu lagi menerima cobaan ini. Namun, ia selalu menepis hal itu. Baginya, adik-adik, ibu, ayah di rumah, selalu menantikan berharap perubahan hidup yang lebih baik di masa depan. Dan itu semua dimulai dari David, anak pertama dari 5 bersaudara. Keluargalah penyemangat hidupnya. Dan dia benar-benar yakin, selalu ada celah dari Allah untuk membantu hambaNya. Mana tahu di antara Anda ada yang berminat membantu. (*)

BAYESIAN INFERENCE AND MAXIMUM ENTROPY METHODS IN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING: 22nd International Workshop on Bayesian Inference and Maximum Entropy Methods in Science and Engineering

The author: Ali E. Abbas
Department of Management Science and Engineering, Stanford University, Stanford, Ca, 94305

Abstract

Afundamental step in decision analysis is the elicitation of thedecision-maker's preferences about the prospects of a decision situation inthe form of utility values. However, this can be adifficult task to perform in practice as the number ofprospects may be large, and eliciting a utility value foreach prospect may be a time consuming and stressful taskfor the decision maker. To relieve some of the burdenof this task, this paper presents a normative method toassign unbiased utility values when only incomplete preference information isavailable about the decision maker. We introduce the notion ofa utility density function and propose a maximum entropy utilityprinciple for utility assignment. ©2003 American Institute of Physics

Decision Analysis: A Kullback-Leibler View of Linear and Log-Linear Pools

Abstract
Linear and log-linear pools are widely used methods for aggregatingexpert belief. This paper frames the expert aggregation problemas a decision problem with scoring rules. We propose a scoringfunction that uses the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence measurebetween the aggregate distribution and each of the expert distributions.The asymmetric nature of the KL measure allows for a convenientscoring system for which the linear and log-linear pools providethe optimal assignment. We also propose a "goodness-of-fit"measure that determines how well each opinion pool characterizesits expert distributions, and also determines the performanceof each pool under this scoring function. We work through severalexamples to illustrate the approach.

Pseudo Almost-Periodic Solution of Shunting Inhibitory Cellular Neural Networks with Delay

2011-01-02T01:57:00.000+07:00

The Author: Haihui Wu (Sunshine College, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou, Fujian, 350002, China)

Abstract

Shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks are studied. Some sufficient criteria are obtained for the existence and uniqueness of pseudo almost-periodic solution of this system. Our results improve and generalize those of the previous studies. This is the first paper considering the pseudo almost-periodic SICNNs. Furthermore, several methods are applied to establish sufficient criteria for the globally exponential stability of this system. The approaches are based on constructing suitable Lyapunov functionals and the well-known Banach contraction mapping principle.

Project Euclid: Scholarly Communication in the Field of Theoretical and Applied Mathematics and Statistics

2011-01-01T23:52:00.000+07:00

Project Euclid's mission is to advance scholarly communication in the field of theoretical and applied mathematics and statistics. Project Euclid is designed to address the unique needs of low-cost independent and society journals. Through a collaborative partnership arrangement, these publishers join forces and participate in an online presence with advanced functionality, without sacrificing their intellectual or economic independence or commitment to low subscription prices. Full-text searching, reference linking, interoperability through the Open Archives Initiative, and long-term retention of data are all important components of the project.

The end result is a vibrant online information community for independent and society journals. This will assure that mathematics and statistics will continue to benefit from a healthy balance of commercial enterprises, scholarly societies, and independent publishers.

Project Euclid was developed and deployed by the Cornell University Library and is jointly managed by Cornell and the Duke University Press.

Start-up funding was provided by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

About Geography at Cambridge

Geography has a long tradition at Cambridge. The first University Lecturer in Geography was appointed in 1888, the first Reader in 1898. Teaching was initially for a special examination leading to a diploma in geography. The Geographical Tripos - the examination for a B.A. degree - was established in 1919. In 1931 the first Professor was appointed and in 1933 the Department moved into its own accommodation. That building, which now constitutes the eastern end of the Department, was considerably extended in the 1930s, with the construction of new lecture theatres and laboratories. In the 1980s, the building was further extended with the addition of a top floor to provide a new laboratory for computing, remote sensing and geographical information systems. In 1999 the Department expanded again, to occupy two floors in an adjacent building where new laboratories, seminar rooms and offices are housed.

Since then, the Unit for Landscape Modelling has become a research unit within the Department (2000); the Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure has been integrated into the teaching and research activities of the Department (2001) and the Scott Polar Research Institute has become a sub-department (2002). Today, the Department has 35 academic staff including ten Professors and four Readers.

The Department of Geography today is a flourishing and expanding academic community committed to high standards of research. The questions we ask, the philosophies and methodologies we draw upon, embrace the natural and social sciences as well as the humanities. Research is represented by our main research clusters and our work brings us into contact and collaboration with many other disciplines to address the challenges of a changing world.

Undergraduate teaching has continued to evolve in response to new challenges in the subject and in recent years, the Department's commitment to research-led teaching has expanded to include a range of Masters courses.

Geography has been researched and taught at Cambridge for more than a century; during that time both the world and geography have changed immensely. Geography at Cambridge has a remarkable tradition and also a great future.

A Dynamic “Fixed Effects” Model for Heterogeneous Panel Data

2010-12-24T13:41:00.000+07:00

Author: Diana Weinhold (London School of Economics)

abstract:

This paper introduces a dynamic panel data model in which the intercepts and

the coefficients on the lagged endogenous variables are specific to the cross section units,

while the coefficients on the exogenous variables are assumed to be normally distributed

across the cross section. Thus the model includes mixture of fixed coefficients and

random coefficients, which I call the “MFR” model. The paper shows that this model has

several desirable characteristics. In particular, the model allows for a considerable degree

of heterogeneity across the cross section both in the dynamics and in the relationship

between the independent and dependent variables. Estimation of the MFR model

produces an estimate of the variance of the coefficients across the cross section units

which can be used as a diagnostic tool to judge how widespread a relationship is and

whether pooling of the data is appropriate. In addition, unlike LSDV estimation of

dynamic panel models, the MFR model does not produce severely biased estimates when

T is small.
