Mitos-Mitos Di Gunung Lawu: Analisis Struktur, Nilai Budaya, dan Kepercayaan Mirza Krisna Gita Pratiwi

Kabupaten Magetan dan Kabupaten Karanganyar adalah satu diantara kabupaten yang berada di Jawa Timur dan Jawa Tengah yang memiliki berbagai macam mitos. Satu di antara mitos tersebut ada pada gunung yang ada di kedua daerah tersebut, yaitu Gunung Lawu. Kemistisan dari gunung tersebut telah santer terdengar oleh masyarakat Indonesia, khususnya masyarakat Jawa serta oleh para pendaki. Dalam penelitian ini, peneliti menggunakan rumusan masalah sebagai berikut: (1) Bagaimana struktur “Mitos-Mitos di Gunung Lawu? ; (2) Bagaimana nilai budaya “Mitos-Mitos di Gunung Lawu?” ; (3) Bagaimana kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap “Mitos-Mitos di Gunung Lawu?. Tujuan peniliti dalam meneliti mitos yang terdapat di Gunung Lawu tersebut adalah (1) Mendeskripsikan struktur “Mitos-Mitos di Gunung Lawu” ; (2) Mendeskripsikan nilai budaya “Mitos-Mitos di Gunung Lawu” ; (3) Mendeskripsikan kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap “Mitos-Mitos di Gunung Lawu”. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode deksriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Peneliti menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pertimbangan bahwa data yang dihasilkan berupa data tertulis atau lisan. Dengan mendeskripsikan makna suatu objek atau kejadian yang menjadi bahan penelitian.Penelitian ini lebih mengutamakan data yang diperoleh. Analisis struktur dalam penelitian ini menggunakan analisis struktur 4 tataran Levi Strauss yang berupa (1) tataran geografis, (2) tataran techno-economic, (3) tataran sosiologis, (4) tataran kosmologis. Nilai budaya yang digunakan adalah nilai budaya dari Lantini yang berupa (1) nilai didaktik, (2) nilai etik, dan (3) nilai religiusitas. Sedangkan kepercayaan masyarakat yang terdapat di penelitian ini adalah bahwa masyarakat percaya adanya mitos tersebut dan masih melestarikan serta mematuhi mitos tersebut. Kata kunci: Mitos, Gunung Lawu, Levi Strauss, Nilai budaya, Kepercayaan.&nbsp

Clinical Outcomes of MLC601 (NeuroAiDTM) in Traumatic Brain Injury: A Pilot Study

Background: MLC601 is a natural product formulation from Chinese medicine that is extensively studied in ischemic stroke. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) shares pathophysiological mechanisms with ischemic stroke, yet there are few studies on the use of MLC601 in treating TBI. This Indonesian pilot study aimed to investigate clinical outcomes of MLC601 for TBI. Methods: This randomized controlled trial included subjects with nonsurgical moderate TBI allocated into two groups: with and without MLC601 over three months in addition to standard TBI treatment. Clinical outcomes were measured by the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) and Barthel Index (BI) observed upon discharge and at months (M) 3 and 6. Results: Thirty-two subjects were included. The MLC601 group (n = 16) had higher GOS than the control group (n = 16) at all observation timepoints, though these differences were not statistically significant (p = 0.151). The BI values indicated a significant improvement for the MLC601 group compared to the control group at M3 (47.5 vs. 35.0; p = 0.014) and at M6 (67.5 vs. 57.5; p = 0.055). No adverse effects were associated with MLC601 treatment. Conclusion: In this cohort of nonsurgical moderate TBI subjects, MLC601 showed potential for a positive effect on clinical outcome with no adverse effects

Community structure and diversity of tropical forest mammals: Data from a global camera trap network

Terrestrial mammals are a key component of tropical forest communities as indicators of ecosystem health and providers of important ecosystem services. However, there is little quantitative information about how they change with local, regional and global threats. In this paper, the first standardized pantropical forest terrestrial mammal community study, we examine several aspects of terrestrial mammal species and community diversity (species richness, species diversity, evenness, dominance, functional diversity and community structure) at seven sites around the globe using a single standardized camera trapping methodology approach. The sites-located in Uganda, Tanzania, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Suriname, Brazil and Costa Rica-are surrounded by different landscape configurations, from continuous forests to highly fragmented forests. We obtained more than 51 000 images and detected 105 species of mammals with a total sampling effort of 12 687 camera trap days. We find thatmammal communities from highly fragmented sites have lower species richness, species diversity, functional diversity and higher dominance when compared with sites in partially fragmented and continuous forest. We emphasize the importance of standardized camera trapping approaches for obtaining baselines for monitoring forest mammal communities so as to adequately understand the effect of global, regional and local threats and appropriately inform conservation actions. © 2011 The Royal Society
