Paradigma Pendidikan Seni di Era Globalisasi Berbasis Wacana

The paradigm of the arts education in the future must be able to apply various approaches where learners can cultivate their views and tolerant attitude towards the cultural diversity in Indonesia. The arts education is expected to be a compulsory course in universities so that the students have sensitive, aesthetic, creative and innovative attitude as well as adaptive character to any change and good ethics in expressing their creativities. It is not just an education generated only for the sake of art competition but must become a daily necessity. In facing the globalization phenomenon, the arts education is made to utilize multicultural approach which can be accepted by various circles of society. The arts educa- tion with a multicultural approach should have flexibility and rely on the ability of the learners and the socio-cultural conditions of the local society. The role of the arts educators is expected to not only pos- sess the local artistic knowledge, but also the knowledge about other regional arts so that in this way the students obtain complete knowledge of arts and culture as well as fostering the sense of tolerance with the diversity

Struktur Nafkah Rumahtangga Petani Transmigran : Studi Sosio-Ekonomi di Tiga Kampung di Distrik Masni Kabupaten Manokwari

Among the primary objectives of transmigration program are to increase the economic status of transmigrant farm-households and enhancing rural infrastructures of the local region. To see wether such objective is attainable, a study of transmigrant farm households has been conducted in West Papua. The study attempts: (1) to know whether there is any relation between the socio-cultural/ethnical background of the transmigrant farm-household with the achievement of welfare status, (2) to analyze factors influencing to the income level of transmigrant farm-households, and (3) to understand how the farm households enhance the degree of economic status by building numerous livelihood strategies. The methods as used in the analysis are: (1) income level analysis of the households, (2) gini-ratio analysis, and (3) descriptive analysis. The results of this study are: socio-cultural (ethnical) setting of transmigrant has a substantial influence to the achievement of welfare level. Javanese transmigrant showed a much higher income achievement due to their strong engagement in the non-farm economy, as compared to Papuanese transmigrant farm-households. The non-farm economy provides a strong basis for economic growth at household level. However, the growth of non-farm economy unexpectedly caused an increasing tendency of income disparity among different farm household strata. Since non-farm economy shares a positive contribution for regional economic growth, the study concludes, that the government needs to take seriously this economic sector into account when regional development needs to be well-accomplished in West Papua

Cross-Sender Bit-Mixing Coding

Scheduling to avoid packet collisions is a long-standing challenge in networking, and has become even trickier in wireless networks with multiple senders and multiple receivers. In fact, researchers have proved that even {\em perfect} scheduling can only achieve $\mathbf{R} = O(\frac{1}{\ln N})$. Here $N$ is the number of nodes in the network, and $\mathbf{R}$ is the {\em medium utilization rate}. Ideally, one would hope to achieve $\mathbf{R} = \Theta(1)$, while avoiding all the complexities in scheduling. To this end, this paper proposes {\em cross-sender bit-mixing coding} ({\em BMC}), which does not rely on scheduling. Instead, users transmit simultaneously on suitably-chosen slots, and the amount of overlap in different user's slots is controlled via coding. We prove that in all possible network topologies, using BMC enables us to achieve $\mathbf{R}=\Theta(1)$. We also prove that the space and time complexities of BMC encoding/decoding are all low-order polynomials.Comment: Published in the International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN), 201

Ricinus communis and Calotropis procera As Putative Plant Species for the Phytostabilization of Tannery Contaminated Soil: A Dynamic Approach

The present study involves the assessment of four metals (Cr, Pb, Cu, and Mn) and their mobility (primary and dynamic translocation and bioconcentration factors) in Ricinus communis and Calotropis procera growing in tannery contaminated soil (TCS) and control soil (CS). The area is moderately to strongly contaminated withCr. Except for Cr, all the analyzed metals were found within the critical range in TCS and in both plants. The assessment of both primary and dynamic translocation and bioconcentration factors showed TF < 1 and BCF > 1 for both plants, which demonstrates the major transfer and accumulation of Cr from soil to root. As these plants are not grazed upon by grazing animals, the ecological metal transfer risks from these plants are quite low. Moreover, the high commercial importance of these plants (biofuel production and medicinal value) further enhances their utilization for the phytostabilization of moderately Cr-contaminated sites. Keywords: chromium, Ricinus communis, Calotropis procera, dynamic factors, tannery industr
