Seni dalam Bingkai Budaya Mitis: Nilai Life Force dan Transformasinya ke Budaya Ontologis

Tulisan ini bertujuan merumuskan teori transformasi nilai-nilai life force dalam seni dari ranah budaya mitis ke budaya ontologis. Kehadiran teori ini cukup penting karena dapat menjadi salah satu sarana mengkaji seni masa lampau kaitannya dengan seni masa kini, serta pijakan ilmiah penciptaan karya seni masa kini yang berbasis nilai-nilai budaya masa lampau. Objek material yang dikaji adalah tokoh Petruk dalam wayang kulit purwa. Metode telaah yang digunakan untuk kepentingan tersebut adalah conceptual approach. Hasil kajian menunjukkan, bahwa transformasi nilai-nilai life force dalam seni dari ranah budaya mitis ke budaya ontologis dapat dilakukan jika kreator mampu menemukan, menginterpretasi, dan mengejawantahkan nilai- nilai tersebut ke dalam karya seni masa kini dengan memperhatikan tiga dasar penciptaan seni, yakni: isi, bentuk, dan penyajian karya yang kontekstual

AMISH TEENAGERS VIEWING THE WORLD IN A DOCUMENTARY FILM AMISH ON BREAK

Agama telah menjadi ulasan menarik disetiap negara sejak dulu kala tak terkecuali di Amerika Serikat. Agama juga seolah sudah menjadi bagian penting di dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat dan berbudaya. Keanekaragaman budaya yang masuk ke Amerika juga berdampak pada beragamnya kepercayaan atau agama yang ada di sana. Salah satu yang menarik adalah Komunitas Amish yang terkenal dengan kehidupannya yang sangat religius dan sederhana. Di tengah kemajuan teknologi yang berkembang sangat pesat di Amerika, komunitas Amish masih ada dengan segala nilai-nilai kehidupan religiusnya yang sangat sederhana tanpa mengindahkan kemajuan teknologi yang ada. Konsep ketuhanan yang dipercaya memicu seseorang menjadi religius kemudian membentuk komunitas yang mempunyai kepercayaan yang sama, bisa menjadi sangat kuat, berkembang dan bertahan lama. Mereka berfikir, bereaksi dan bertindak sesuai dengan nilai-nilai religius yang telah mereka terima sejak kecil hingga dewasa tanpa boleh mengajukan pertanyaan. Nilai-nilai tersebut yang mereka yakini akan mengantarkan mereka pada kehidupan terbaik di dunia maupun setelah kematian yaitu surga

MAINTAINING JAVANESE LANGUAGE AND CULTURE TO SUPPORT CHARACTER EDUCATION IN GLOBALIZATION ERA33

In their daily life, Javanese society uses Javanese as a means of communication. However, because of the rapid development of communication and information technology and social needs to communicate in globalization era, Javanese societies tend to use Indonesian instead of Javanese. The result of the research by Eko Kuntarto (1999) shows that the number of Javanese speakers reduces 3.36% and that of Indonesian speakers increases 3.26%. It shows that the number of Javanese speakers decreases. The young Javanese societies (under 25 years) start to leave Javanese. The tendency to use Indonesian instead of Javanese appears in the communication among Javanese living in the cities and then those living in villages, especially the young generations. The phenomena happen because of the increasing number of bilingual Javanese-Indonesian speakers and the decrease of their consciousness and understanding of the values, cooperation, and politeness in Javanese language and culture. Many values of character education are covered in Javanese language and culture. Sindu Galba and Sumintarsih (1991: 35) mention the Javanese levels including: very polite, polite, and friendship. Sunarjo (2009: 10) states ”... the Javanese guided by Javanese culture really pay attention to the cooperative and politeness principles. The Javanese is also used to express the aesthetic feeling and as a means to transfer cultural values. The Javanese usually think of the other needs before thinking of theirs. Cooperative attitude, respecting each others, and helping each others appear in their daily life. It is line with policy maxim (Leech, 1993: 206-207) to sacrifice personal benefit for someone else’s benefits. The result of a research conducted by Eko Kuntarto (1999) reveals that politeness in Javanese society is motivated by two norms to separate humans’ right and responsibility. The two norms are cooperative and respective principles. The cooperative principle requires the Javanese not to make conclict and respective priciple requires the Javanese to show respective attitude in talking to the others. Considering the important role of Javanese language and culture in character education and building, the Javanese language and culture should be maintained by using the following ways: (1) Javanese is included in the school curriculum becasue most of the students cannot use Javanese appropriately and even think that Javanese is more difficult than English; (2) using Javanese as the only vehicle in teaching Javanese subject as English is used in teaching English subject; (3) giving homeworks to the students to create Javanese dialogues or write essays in Javanese; (4) using Javanese in their daily life in the Javanese family and society; and (5) maintaining Javanese culture as what is done by the civil servants in Solo who wear Javanese uniform on Thursdays and those in Karanganyar who speak Javanese on Wednesdays

Relationship of Nutritional Status with Oral Health Status in Visual Impairment

To analyze the relationship of nutritional status with oral health status among visual impairment. The subjects were 146 elderly people (70 males and 76 females) aged 20-72 years (mean 48.8±6.2 years), Phitsanulok, Thailand. Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) questionnaires were administered. Oral examinations investigated the number of present teeth, DMFT and Functional Tooth Units (FTUs). According to the MNA score, 44.5% of subjects were categorized as normal nutrition, 47.3% as questionable, and 8.2 % as malnutrition. The mean numbers of present teeth and FTUs were 17.8±6.9 and 6.9±3.2, respectively. Subjects with malnutrition had lower numbers of present teeth (10.7±1.4) and FTUs (4.3±1.7) than those with normal nutrition (20.2±0.7 and 12.3±0.5) (p≤0.05). Nutritional status of visual impaired Thai was associated with mean numbers of present teeth and FTUs. Keeping many natural teeth or having appropriate numbers of FTUs by replacing missing teeth with dentures would prevention malnutrition

The Concept and Development of Land Value Assessment

Problem in land acquisition increasingly complex, this problem can be related directly to the land acquisition process from planning to project delivery, as well as indirect effects of the reasonableness of the value of the land. Land value is expected to accommodate attributes as physical development and infrastructure projects in a more comprehensive city, thus the value of the land can represent a reasonable condition and can be estimated in accordance with the development that is influenced by multiple attributes (discrete and continuous) as well as the spatial effect of the gradient measured geographical. Based on a review of empirical, conceptual and literature, the value of land is affected by several variables that can be explaned as follows: supply and demand ; highest and best use ; phisic, legal, social and economic. The method can combine the data value of the land and the land characters are more accurate and spatially, it is necessary to use Computer-Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) and Geographic Information System (GIS
