KEPEMIMPINAN ROHANI DAN RASULI DALAM PERSPEKTIF IGNATIAN

Adolfo Nicols, former superior general of the Society of Jesus, presented his elaboration on Ignatian leadership before the superiors and the directors of works in Valladolid, Spain in May 6, 2013. In his narrative style he focused on three characters of Ignatian leadership: spiritual, apostolic and heroic. It is spiritual, because Ignatian leadership works on the base of discernment both personal and communal. It is apostolic because the integrity of Ignatian leadership consists in its function to serve. Service is the final and most basic criteria to evaluate Ignatian leardeship. With regard to the third character Adolfo Nicols elaborated heroic leadership reffering to Ignatian spirit of magis, choosing and doing more for the service and glory of God as well as for the common good of people. Heeding a tendency of being resistant to criticism from within the Church and without, he pointed to a habit of reflection as a crucial point in Ignatian leadership. It is indeed a prayerful aspect of leadership that protects leadership from becoming a mere management of power. He also mentioned preferential option for the poor as one constitutive point in the Jesuit life that should mark an Ignatian leadership

Agricultural Loss Caused by 2007 Sidoharjo’s Flood and its House-hold Impact

Flood is an undeniable reality that threaten Sidoharjo Village, as part of Sragen District. It is affected by the presence of Mungkung River, the tributary of Solo River, which crosses in the area. It is certainly going to be one of the factors inhibiting the development and economic growth in the region, given the agricultural sector is one of the backbones of the economy potentially disturbed by the flood. The information about the flood and its impacts specifically related to agriculture are needed to determine the precise policies. The research focuses on 2007-flood mapping, agricultural production loss assessment, and farmer resilience, as expressed in their ability to continue the next cropping after being hitten by the 2007-flood. The flood map was built by integrating the local knowledge and the Digital Terrain Model (DTM). The information about 2007 flood was collected by interviewing the local people. The DTM was built by interpolating the detailed spot height directly measured in the field. As the result of the integration, the depth of the flood immersing the paddy fields reaches approximately 3 meters.  Beside the flood depth, the growth stage of rice also determines the paddy vulnerability. It refers to the plant height and the sensitivity to the water immersion.  There are three stages i.e. vegetative, generative, and graining phases. The vulnerabilities were constructed based on the synthetic data obtained via Focus Group Discussion (FGD).  The production loss of paddy of the research area was counted based on the vulnerability. A grid-based GIS method is used in the loss calculation which produces a value of Rp. 1,137,350,000.00 (about USD 100,000.00). The losses influence the farmer ability to continue the cultivation in the next season, which in this study is defined as farmer resilience. To investigate the resilience level, 32 respondents were proportionally randomized to each flood zone. There are three zones created based on the flood depth. The influencing factors and their weights and scores were determined by the farmer representatives via FGD. Meanwhile, the socioeconomic data were collected by using the questionnaires. The results show that most of the farmers in the area (56.3%) are categorized in moderate resilience level

"HOMO SOMATICUS": Persoalan Manusia dan Tubuhnya

Homo somaticus is the primary reality of human beings. Humans are recognized as such through their bodies and interact with both others and the world using their bodies. This article aims to argue for the existential importance of the human body. The article explores the nature and functions of the human body through the lens of phenomenology. Homo somaticus acknowledges that the human body possesses uniqueness among other creatures. As homo somaticus, humans have five fundamental body functions. Firstly, the worldly body signifies that humans are “beings-in-the world,” integrating with the world through their bodies. Secondly, the epistemological body indicates that humans acquire, assimilate, and convey knowledge through their bodies. Thirdly, the economic body suggests that the body becomes a determinant of possession, assuming the existence of a body. Fourthly, the ascetical body highlights the necessity of engaging in human activities to cultivate valuable virtues. Fifthly, the sexual body identifies the experiences shared by men and women, enabling biological reproduction and shaping social relationships. Homo somaticus underscores that the spirit is embodied, with the spirit being manifested through the body in the world. Nevertheless, the body is an integral part of human existence in the worl
