The Unity of Mind, Brain and World

Current Perspectives on a Science of Consciousness

Issues concerning the unity of minds, bodies and the world have often recurred in the history of philosophy and, more recently, in scientific models.

The authors argue that, within this interdisciplinary context, a consensus appears to be emerging assuming that the conscious mind and the functioning brain are two aspects of a complex system that interacts with the world. How can this concept of reality - one that includes the existence of consciousness - be approached both philosophically and scientifically? The Unity of Mind, Brain and World is the result of a three-year online discussion between the authors who present a diversity of perspectives, tending towards a theoretical synthesis, aimed to contribute to the insertion of this field of knowledge in the academic curriculum.

A centrally located neural space organized as a rotation-based geometry is
partitioned into three nested zones around the egocentric origin: egocenter, body
zone (here represented by the head alone), and world zone. The latter two house
spatial maps supplied with veridical content reflecting circumstances pertaining
to the physical body and its surrounding world, respectively. In this mapping,
global sensory motion is reflected as movement of the body alone relative to the
world, ...

PROSIDING PKWG SEMINAR SERIES: Kebijakan Kesehatan dan Pelibatan Komunitas Dalam Menurunkan AKI/AKB di Indonesia

Angka Kematian Ibu dan Angka Kematian Bayi adalah persoalan yang sangat krusial di Indonesia sebab memiliki kecenderungan untuk meningkat setiap tahunnya. Tidak mudah mencari solusi untuk persoalan AKI/AKB, sebab AKI/AKB melibatkan kebijakan pemerintah di bidang kesehatan, ketersediaan layanan kesehatan dasar dan aksesnya, implementasi dan reaksi atas kebijakan di tingkat lokal, pelibatan komunitas, posisi suami dan keluarga ibu hamil, serta keikutsertaan NGO dan CSO dalam proses pemantauan kebijakan menurunkan AKI/AKB di Indonesia. Berbagai persoalan di atas menjadi titik berangkat ketika kita bicara mengenai pelibatan komunitas dalam menurunkan AKI/AKB di Indonesia, dan untuk menjawab hal itulah Pusat Kajian Wanita dan Gender Universitas Indonesia, bekerja sama dengan Program Studi Kajian Gender UI dan Pusat Riset Gender Pascasarjana UI mengadakan PKWG Seminar Series #1 dengan topik “KEBIJAKAN KESEHATAN DAN PELIBATAN KOMUNITAS DALAM MENURUNKAN AKI/AKB DI INDONESIA” pada 11-12 Juni 2015 di Program Pascasarjana Multidisiplin, Kampus UI Salemba, Jakarta. Buku yang anda pegang ini adalah prosiding dari PKWG Seminar Series #1 yang berisikan makalah dan diskusi. Seluruh tulisan dalam prosiding ini memiliki lokus dan fokus yang berbeda namun seluruhnya memiliki satu benang merah: untuk menurunkan AKI/AKB diperlukan pelibatan banyak pihak.

Global Food Security

Emerging Issues and Economic Implications

Global food security remains at ever greater risk. This is true despite greater concerns and robust actions by world political leaders such as the G8 Summit and other stakeholders worldwide. Pro-active public policies and programs are needed for enhancing food security and ending world hunger and poverty. This book spans the globe presenting leading research in food security and economic implications. Topics discussed include: a systemic approach to food security in agrarian societies; impacts of climate change on agriculture and its implications for food security; impacts of climate change on artisanal fisheries; crop holidays–emerging issues of food security in India; the impacts of HIV/AIDS and household food security; affordable micro irrigation-based vegetable farming for income, employment and food security; informal sector employment and food security; adoption of wheat production technologies; and gender mainstreaming in food security and pro-poor programs. It offers synthesis, lessons, and policy implications for Africa and Asia. This book also provides an exciting agenda for future research and collaboration on the important issue of global food security over the coming years.

A Framework for analyzing socioeconomic, health and environmental impacts of wastewater use in agriculture in developing countries

This paper presents an approach for analyzing the socioeconomic, health, and environmental aspects of urban wastewater use in peri-urban agriculture, using typical characteristics of a major city in a developing country. Peri-urban area of Faisalabad is chosen to represent this context.

in valuation measures, additional problems may arise in assessing various
impacts of wastewater use in agriculture. The use of human capital approach
may be problematic particularly when the cause and effect relationship between
the disease and wastewater irrigation in not known or when the sickness is of
long duration.

Wastewater Use in Agriculture

Review of Impacts and Methodological Issues in Valuing Impacts : with an Extended List of Bibliographical References

The objective of this paper is to provide a review of the characteristics of wastewater used for irrigation, and the reasoning behind the international guidelines presently used in regulating wastewater reuse for agriculture. This paper presents various systems of wastewater treatment available and discusses their benefits and shortcomings. A selective review of recent empirical studies identifies major impacts both positive and negative impacts of wastewater irrigation. Finally, the paper provides the review of environmental valuation techniques for analyzing impacts of wastewater uses in agriculture, and suggest a framework for application of some of these techniques. This framework will be applied to a developing country case study (Faisalabad area in Pakistan), in the ongoing IWMI research program.
