Indonesia dalam pertautan budaya pembangunan dan budaya warga desa

The construction of the next imagined-village as a part of the next imagined-Indonesia evokes the need of a new genre on embedding the culture of development and the culture of civil-village. The article presents an “Until-Where” genre (on where the aims of development are reached). In the genre, praxis orientation becomes a context of both cultural analysis and social structure. The deconstructive critique of the culture of development is focused on Kantian humanism, evolutionism and development planning, the politics of space, and capitalization on village development.Co-articulation between the culture of development (which has the tendency for uniformity) and the culture of civil-village (which has the tendency for variation) is constructed, firstly, on toleration between the stake-holders for social transformation. Then the article proposes “Praxis of Familiation”, i.e. imagination on the family structure as a translation process for external influence. Focused on the lower stratum, the familiation should be used to empower the lowest one.Keywordsdeconstruction, “Until-Where” genre, “Praxis of Familiation”

RESENSI BUKU : Pollock, John L. and Joseph Cruz 2003. Contemporary Theories of Knowledge, Second Edition. Rowman & Littlefield: Lanham

Bahwa dalam edisi pertama buku ini langsung digolongan menjadi buku klasik, menunjukkan kualitas isinya yang tinggi. Sedangkan edisi kedua ini, selain digunakan sendiri oleh John L. Pollock –profesor filsafat dan ilmu pengetahuan kognitif di Universitas Arizona—untuk mata kuliah Theory of Knowledge (Teori tentang Pengetahuan) yang dia asuh, buku ini juga digunakan di universitas-universitas lain. Telah puluhan buku lain yang menggunakan citasi dari buku ini. Bahkan banyak yang menyatakan bahwa buku ini jauh lebih bagus dalam menerangkan teori-teori pengetahuan dibandingkan dengan buku-buku serupa, bahkan yang terbit beberapa tahun kemudian, misalnya Introduction to ContemporaryEpistemology (1985) karya Jonathan Dancy, Groundless Belief edisi kedua (1999) dan Problems of Knowledge: A Critical Introduction toEpistemology (2001) karya Michael Williams, Epistemology: Classic Problems and Contemporary Responses (2002) karya Laurence BonJour, dan Knowledge (2001) karya Michael Welbourne (Traiger 2004)

Mathematical Models of Oscillators with Memory

The chapter proposes a mathematical model for a wide class of hereditary oscillators, which is a Cauchy problem in the local formulation. As an initial model equation, an integrodifferential equation of Voltaire type was introduced, which was reduced by means of a special choice of difference kernels to a differential equation with nonlocal derivatives of fractional-order variables. An explicit finite-difference scheme is proposed, and questions of its stability and convergence are investigated. A computer study of the proposed numerical algorithm on various test examples of the hereditary oscillators Airy, Duffing, and others was carried out. Oscillograms and phase trajectories are plotted and constructed

Percobaan Pembangunan Partisipatif dalam Otonomi Daerah

As part of governing mechanism, local participation has already been practiced by numerous ethnic groups of Indonesia since centuries. In modern era, the idea of participation, that was at the outset integrated into development thought as desentralisation, was introduced in 1950s-1960s. In the 1980s, Non-Government Organization adopted participatory development to control government and donor agencies. Since 1990s, donor and developed countries adopted paticipatory development as single approach to operationalize development measures. In Indonesia, participatory development practices need to pay attention on two sub-structures, i.e., program and budget arrangements. Musyawarah Perencanaan Pembangunan (musrenbang) is a participatory-based planning mechanism is run stretching from rural upto national level and is considered to be very central for nation-wide development measures. The mechanism needs to be criticed since it just increases efficiency and effectiveness of development actions, but it fails to expand participaton space of the lowest social layers of rural communitie

Metal-bearence of Siberian coals

Results of long-term observations for Siberian coals are generalized. Geochemical peculiarities of coal-fields are determined. It was stated, that Siberian coals are perspective for search of Au, Sc, Ge and lithophilous rare metal (Zr, Hf, Y, Nb, Ta, U and lanthanide) commercial deposit. Prospects of evaluation of rare metal resources commercial developing in coals and their waste is fulfille
