Apresiasi Terhadap Musik Tradisional Jonggan Dengan Pendekatan Pembelajaran Kontekstual

This study was motivated by dislike of students towards traditional music Jonggan existing environment around them. The reason is because traditional music Jonggan old, boring, and only suitable for the elderly alone. Music on Kanayatn Dayak is an important part of the ceremony Balenggang (shamanism), Rice Make (up dango), and welcome the visiting dignitary. This research was conducted in an effort to preserve traditional music Jonggan Kanayatn Dayak community in the district of Pontianak. This research is Classroom Action Research (CAR) by using descriptive research methods and qualitative approaches. The concept of research done by developing a model of contextual learning material adapted to a musical instrument practice Jonggan until this past research presentation stage of the process as much as 2 cycles. In cycle I, and II have different contextual learning development. The results of preliminary observations students' appreciation of 9.37%, while after the second cycle, the appreciation of students in meeting the results of 90.00%. So the appreciation of students towards learning traditional music Jonggan after using contextual learning approach increased 80.96%. Increased appreciation is demonstrated by the results of the data reflects the improvement in students' appreciation of the traditional music Jonggan

Biodiversity Information Centre (Pusat Informasi Keanekaragaman Hayati Indonesia) selain mengelola data spesimen herbarium dan museum zoologi, juga mengelola data dan informasi geografis (peta). Data spesimen disimpan dalam format tekstual, sedangkan informasi geografisnya disimpan dalam format image, point, line, polyline dan polygon. Hampir semua informasi geografis dasar telah dikumpulkan dari kawasan Indonesia dalam bentuk digital dengan sumber peta berskala 1:250.000.(Bappenas, 1997).Penyiapan Data Dasar Penunjang Profil Regional dan Daerah Paket I: Penyediaan Database Spasial Desa Secara Digital.Geosys Intipiranti dan Binadaya Inti Dinamika, Jakarta dan RePPProt, 1989.

Multiple Geographic Origins of Commensalism and Complex Dispersal History of Black Rats

The Black Rat (Rattus rattus) spread out of Asia to become one of the world's worst agricultural and urban pests, and a reservoir or vector of numerous zoonotic diseases, including the devastating plague. Despite the global scale and inestimable cost of their impacts on both human livelihoods and natural ecosystems, little is known of the global genetic diversity of Black Rats, the timing and directions of their historical dispersals, and the risks associated with contemporary movements. We surveyed mitochondrial DNA of Black Rats collected across their global range as a first step towards obtaining an historical genetic perspective on this socioeconomically important group of rodents. We found a strong phylogeographic pattern with well-differentiated lineages of Black Rats native to South Asia, the Himalayan region, southern Indochina, and northern Indochina to East Asia, and a diversification that probably commenced in the early Middle Pleistocene. We also identified two other currently recognised species of Rattus as potential derivatives of a paraphyletic R. rattus. Three of the four phylogenetic lineage units within R. rattus show clear genetic signatures of major population expansion in prehistoric times, and the distribution of particular haplogroups mirrors archaeologically and historically documented patterns of human dispersal and trade. Commensalism clearly arose multiple times in R. rattus and in widely separated geographic regions, and this may account for apparent regionalism in their associated pathogens. Our findings represent an important step towards deeper understanding the complex and influential relationship that has developed between Black Rats and humans, and invite a thorough re-examination of host-pathogen associations among Black Rats
