Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

2 Project title Protecting reclaimed land and land use for smallholder farming
in marginal coastal area affect by flooding around Cilacap,
Central Java
3 Project Number 416-025-1014 ZG
4 Reporting Period Dec. 1st, 2011 – May 31st, 2012
5 Total Budget 790.000,00 Euro
6 Donor Agency Misereor - Germany
We report on our efforts in the Cilacap Area to procure land for the Peo-
ple’s livelihood.
On the island of Nusakambangan, which is a prison island with 7
prison’s and covers 12.000 Hcts. , of which 4.000 Hcts of forest has
been destroyed by illegal logging over the years and in one area – Solok
Jero - + 250 very poor farmers moved it to make a living from the denuded
hillsides. The Dept. of Justice intended to move these people forcibly from
the land but through connections we were able to convince their head peo-
ple that the denuded land could only be returned to native forest with the
help of the farmers, as if someone planted saplings and left them untended
they would soon be smothered by weeds. With a win-win solution – the
farmers be allowed to plant corn, peas, rice etc. and saplings among their
crops - they could look after both crops and saplings. Also they would be
allowed to plant 30% fruit trees that they would continue to harvest into the
future and then 70% native trees for restoration of the eco-system.
They would also protect the forest from illegal loggers and the
fauna from unwanted hunters. In recent months this group has planted
170.000 trees and plant 130.000 more shortly. On two occasions, working
with the forest rangers, they apprehend two groups of illegal loggers with
their chain saws etc. and these are now in jail in Cilacap.
Last week we held a meeting of farmers, forest rangers, dept. of
correction people etc. and 25 farmers whose lands now totally covered in
trees, will begin planting another 25 hcts.
We have two other groups who planted 310.000 fast grow-
ing trees and we are dialoging on the future of this venture as we wish to
harvest these and replace them with Native and fruit trees. Misereor Pro-
jects helps in a small way with foot paths, culverts etc. as part of the Com-
munity Building Small Projects Section of the Program.
In another area of + 2.000 hcts. which was “sea” + 300 yrs. ago –
then with sedimentation became mangrove forest and further sedimenta-
tion became wet lands and we built river and sea dykes and it became rice
land but as the area was uninhabited (uninhabitable) the land is still con-
trolled by the Forestry Dept. and the tenant farmers pay a small rent.
However at the moment we support the “FREE FARMERS UNION” to
procure rights for this land.

B. Canals
1. Three villages built canals Pelindukan, Bugel
and Penikel so that when the rivers were in full
flood the waters carried in mud and raised the
wet lands so that rice could be planted and
this was very successful as the soil was
very fertile – top soil from mountain slopes –
and produced very high yields of Padi –
rice still on stalks and easily stored for future
use – up to 8 tons per hectare. With an input of
70 – 80 million rupiahs per canal produced rice
worth 1.6 billion rupiah per canal.
2. There canals will be increased so that more
wet lands can become rice fields and help food
security for the area as well as increase family
incomes.
3. The staff and students from Gajah Mada Uni-
versity were very impressed with this program
and will continue to monitor progress.
C. Dykes
1. Two villages built dykes – Bringkeng and Ka-
libener to stop rivers overflowing their banks
and drowning the rice crop.
2. The rivers run through the rice fields as it is a
flood plain and constant attention must be given
to these dykes.
3. The mud to raise the dykes is taken from the
bottom of the river, keeping the depth. of the
river constant.
D. Drainage projects
1. The drains were dug in two villages Pahonjean
and Bendakulon – an area where five rivers
meet and flood almost every year.
2. The drains were lined with rocks and the villag-
ers bought cement and sand to keep the rocks
in place.
3. All the work done making the drains was done
with voluntary labour (Gotong Royong)

6. IV. OUT PUTS
PHYSICAL
1. 15.459 meters of road hard surfaced by us and 1.680 meters
rehabilitated and these roads are being further enhanced by
a government program. Due to the nature of the terrain – sedi-
mentation – the input of our rocks is most important to stop sub-
sidence and break up of the roads. The compaction caused by
our trucks further help the strength of the roads.
2. The drains opened up + 400 hcts. of wetlands become rice fields
producing over 1.000 tons of rice for the area.
3. The dykes ensured flood waters did not inundate the rice fields.
4. The drainage program helped rain water reach the rivers more
quickly and avoid flooding.
NON PHYSICAL
1. Social capital (community). We have passed on the thesis of a
student from Program Management of Infrastructur and
Community Development (MICD) Gajah Mada University Post
Graduate Yogyakarta and the findings seem to be – that by our
“non intrusive” approach at the beginnings of the project and
hence tottaly controlled and decided upon by vilagers, that this
gives them stronger sense of owning the project. The
Government intervention from the start of the program which has
its strenghts – e.g. more definite gender contribution, but the
villagers sense of owning he project is lessened. The greater
voluntary input in our program also seems to be more conducive
to a positive atmosphere as the project is implemented.
2. Acces to Markets – increased income – many people have
begun making red bricks from the sediment in the rivers and the
dyke roads make it possible to carry these to markets e.g. the
interviewed of Stephanus Mulyadi with a woman whose husband
was crippled from falling of a coconut tree. She earned IDR 30
for placing the mud in a cast until it sets and she could make ±
IDR 60.000 a day doing this – which is 50% more than
craftsman earns.(plus access yang sudah ada dalam laporan
terdahulu)
3. A German Girl – Judit Miryam Edelmann has wrote her thesis on
YSBS inter faith Dialog and after Defend the thesis, she will give
a copy to Misereor. On May 26th I was awarded the “MAARIF’
AWARD for our Pluralistic approach to Social Work
(Muhamadiyah Movement). Also being able to include radical
groups (FPI) in our programms.
