Despite the growth of agrifood markets, and gradual structural transformation, smallholders persist in Asia. Such patterns are at odds with the views that market growth should encourage more specialization whereby smallholders’ transition to either larger farmers or specialized non-farm households. Using the panel household data in Vietnam, this study investigates how participation in agrifood markets affect smallholder households’ economies of scope (EOS) in diversifying into agriculture and non-agricultural income-earning activities. We find that, greater agrifood market participation proxied by the increased food purchase generally increases EOS between agriculture and non-agricultura...
In this paper, we address the question of the agricultural market integration of Cambodia, Lao, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Philippines (CLMVP) countries within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and its other top trading partners. Using “Trade Potential” and “Competition Indices” indicators in this paper we assess the nature and extent of the agricultural market integration. We identify the exports of CLMVP countries with high export potential and comparatively low competition in export markets. Higher trade potential with lower competition (value or volume) indicates an opportunity of higher returns for agricultural producers. CLMVP countries are characterized by low div...

Pernah mendengar istilah White Lie sebelumnya? Manusia, pada dasarnya, pasti pernah membuat sebuah kebohongan. Baik yang sekecil ujung pensil atau bahkan yang besar, sekali pun baik jika tetaplah kebohongan apa pun alasan yang membuat kita berbohong, tidak bisa menghapus fakta bahwa kita sudah membuat kebohongan. Tetapi, beberapa orang beranggapan, bahwa kebohongan yang dibuat demi kebaikan itu boleh-boleh saja. Dan dari sinilah istilah White Lie muncul; kebohongan yang diperbolehkan demi sebuah kebaikan. Di masa kini, kebohongan ini semakin sering dijumpai dan semakin banyak dibuat oleh manusia. Namun sebenarnya, untuk kebaikan siapa White Lie itu dibuat? Untuk kebaikan orang lain, atau unt...
This book creates the emergence of disruptive technologies that have led to a significant change in the role of mathematics and statistics for problem solving, with the use of sophisticated software and hardware in solving complex systems and process. In the era of digital technology, mathematics and statistics need to be highly relevant to be able to cater for the needs of IR4.0 such as big data analytics, simulation, autonomous system, and cloud computing. Motivated by this development, a total of 26 chapters are contributed by respectable experts for this book. The main scope of the book is to conduct a new system of modeling and simulations on solving differential equations, nonlinear equations, energy, epidemiology, and risk assessment. This book is of interest for postgraduate students, researchers as well as other scientists who are working in numerical modeling and simulations based on efficient mathematical and statistical techniques.
The calculation of exact positions of stars, the Sun and the celestial bodies of the solar system is a prerequisite of successful practical work in astronomy. This text gives the necessary background of spherical astronomy and celestial mechanics from the practitioner's point of view, and collates all the formulae and numerical values needed to calculate precise ephemerides. The clear structure of the book allows easy use of the material in computer programs. Students, lecturers and amateurs in astronomy will find the book an invaluable reference in their daily work, lectures or lab courses.

Nabi Muhammad Saw merupakan pembawa ajaran Islam yang utama. Beliau menerima ajaran tersebut dalam bentuk wahyu, lalu disampaikan kepada para sahabatnya, dan diteruskan dari generasi ke generasi. Selain sebagai utusan Allah, Nabi Muhammad Saw juga manusia seperti umumnya kita. Beliau hidup dalam sebuah masyarakat yang sudah memiliki budaya, adat-istiadat, kegemaran, dan hobi yang bisa jadi berbeda antara satu bangsa dan lainnya. Disisi lain, hadis yang merupakan perkataan dan perbuatan Nabi Muhammad Saw yang diriwayatkan dan kita terima sebagai sumber ajaran Islam, berisi informasi yang bisa jadi merupakan agama, tetapi tidak sedikit sebenarnya yang merupakan ekspresi budaya Rasulullah SAW b...
