Carbon-based Membranes for Separation Processes

This book provides a significant overview of carbon-related membranes. It will cover the development of carbon related membranes and membrane modules from its onset to the latest research on carbon mixed matrix membranes. After reviewing progress in the field, the authors indicate future research directions and prospective development. The authors also attempt to provide a guideline for the readers who would like to establish their own laboratories for carbon membrane research. For this purpose, detailed information on preparation, characterization and testing of various types of carbon membrane is provided. Design and construction of carbon membrane modules are also described in detail.

Nanofiltration Membranes

Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications

Covering fabrication, characterization, and applications nanofiltration (NF) membranes, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the development of NF membrane technology over the past decade. It uniquely covers a variety of fabrication techniques, comparing the procedures of each technique to produce polymeric membranes of different morphologies. The book also discusses advances in the materials used in thin film composite (TFC) polyamide membrane fabrication and their influences on properties with respect to structural and separation characteristics. A comprehensive review on NF characterization methods and techniques is provided, assessing physical and chemical properties and separation characteristics and stability. Technical challenges in fabricating a new generation of NF membranes are also reviewed and the possible approaches to overcome the challenges are provided. The book concludes with relevant case studies on the use of NF membranes in industrial implementation of both aqueous and nonaqueous media. Details the latest progress on the fabrication techniques of asymmetric and composite NF membranes. Discusses characterization methods used in assessing membrane physical/chemical properties, separation characteristics, and performance stability. Describes the potential of advanced materials in improving properties of polyamide selective layer as well as microporous substrate. Reviews the technical challenges in fabricating a new generation of composite membrane—thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane—possible approaches to overcome challenges. Offers case studies on the applications of NF membranes for both aqueous and nonaqueous media.

Gas Separation Membranes

Polymeric and Inorganic

This book describes the tremendous progress that has been made in the development of gas separation membranes based both on inorganic and polymeric materials. Materials discussed include polymer inclusion membranes (PIMs), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), carbon based materials, zeolites, as well as other materials, and mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) in which the above novel materials are incorporated. This broad survey of gas membranes covers material, theory, modeling, preparation, characterization (for example, by AFM, IR, XRD, ESR, Positron annihilation spectroscopy), tailoring of membranes, membrane module and system design, and applications. The book is concluded with some perspectives about the future direction of the field.

Macroprudential Regulation and Policy for the Islamic Financial Industry

Theory and Applications

This volume aims to discuss the current research, theory, methodology and applications of macropreudential regulation and policy for the Islamic financial industry. Published in cooperation with the Islamic Research and Training Institute (IRTI), this book features contributions from a workshop presented in collaboration with the University College of Bahrain (UCB) in Manama, Bahrain, aimed to bring together experts in Islamic banking and regulation and financial economics. This resulting book sheds light on how macroprudential policy may be implemented in the Islamic financial system, and indicates current challenges and their effects on economic growth, financial stability and monetary regulation. Macroprudential policy is increasingly seen as a way of dealing with the different dimensions of systemic risk. But many central banks, bank supervisors and regulators have limited experience with macroprudential tools, particularly in the Islamic financial industry. Given the complementarities between monetary policy and financial stability, it appears that central banks would always play an important role in macroprudential policy. But how should macroprudential policy best interact with monetary policy? It is becoming more pressing for the central banks to conduct monetary policy in which its conventional banking system operates side by side with Islamic banking system. This question has received increasing attention in the research literature but there is much we still need to learn. This is why new insights from research on macroprudential policy – which has gained important impetus in recent years – are so valuable. Featuring contributions on topics such as macroprudential regulation, policy, tools and instruments; governance, systematic risk, monetary policy, and bank leverage, the editors provide a collection of comprehensive research covering the most important issues on macroprudential policy and regulation for the Islamic financial industry. This volume is expected to be a significant contribution to the literature in the field of Islamic finance and evaluation of public policies to promote the development for Islamic financial industry. It is also served as a key text for students, academics, researchers, policy-makers in the field of Islamic finance.

In the late 1980s the authorities has started working on comprehensive financial
sector reforms with the help of financial reforms with the help of international
financial agencies such as International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank.

Prosiding Kongres Pancasila IV

Srategi Pelembagaan Nilai-nilai Pancasila dalam Menegakkan Konstitusionalitas Indonesia

Kongres Pancasila IV ini merupakan rangkaian dan kesinambungan dari Kongres Pancasila sebelumnya, yaitu Kongres Pancasila I tgl 1 Juni 2009 di Yogyakarta; Kongres Pancasila II tgl. 1 Juni 2010 di Denpasar; dan Kongres Pancasila III tgl.1 Juni 2011 di Surabaya. Dari tiga kali Kongres Pancasila tersebut telah banyak dihasilkan rumusan-rumusan deklarasi yang sangat berkualitas dan bermakna. Atas dasar hasil-hasil yang telah dicapai dari Kongres Pancasila sebelumnya itu, maka pada Kongres Pancasila IV kali ini dipilih dan ditetapkan tema “Strategi Pelembagaan Nilai-nilai Pancasila dalam Menegakkan Konstitusionalitas Indonesia”. Tema ini dipilih dengan pertimbangan-pertimbangan sebagai berikut: Saat ini tidak ada lembaga khusus pengawal Pancasila. Padahal, diakui atau tidak Pancasila adalah dasar Negara Indonesia. Keadaan ini dinilai jauh lebih buruk jika dibandingkan dengan masa sebelum reformasi. Saat itu, MPR mempunyai berbagai wewenang, dan salah satunya “memelihara” Pancasila. Ketiadaan lembaga khusus pengawal Pancasila itu menyebabkan Pancasila kehilangan dasar legitimasi kenegaraannya. Ketiadaan lembaga khusus pengawal Pancasila, berimplikasi pada tidak adanya mekanisme yang jelas dalam mensosialisasikan Pancasila. Peran tersebut saat ini nampaknya berusaha dimainkan oleh MPR dengan slogan kebanggaannya “4 Pilar Hidup Bernegara” yang mensejajarkan posisi Pancasila dengan NKRI, UUD 1945 dan Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. Terlepas dari ketidaktepatan konsep dasar yang ada dalam slogan itu, kita mengakui bahwa MPR memiliki niat baik untuk membumikan Pancasila. Saat ini tidak ada rambu-rambu pengimplementasian Pancasila yang jelas dan baku. Padahal, rambu-rambu itu mutlak diperlukan agar dapat diperoleh hasil yang optimal. Dengan kata lain, rambu-rambu itu perlu segera diadakan. Mempertimbangkan hal-hal diatas, kiranya perlu ada upaya serius untuk membentuk atau menunjuk lembaga khusus pengawal Pancasila, yang nantinya diberi wewenang, antara lain untuk menyusun rambu-rambu pengimplementasian Pancasila tersebut secara tepat, terstruktur, dinamis dankontekstual.
