Rights or containment? The politics of Aboriginal cultural heritage in Victoria

Aboriginal cultural heritage protection, and the legislative regimes that underpin it, constitute important mechanisms for Aboriginal people to assert their rights and responsibilities. This is especially so in Victoria, where legislation vests wide-ranging powers and control of cultural heritage with Aboriginal communities. However, the politics of cultural heritage, including its institutionalisation as a scientific body of knowledge within the state, can also result in a powerful limiting of Aboriginal rights and responsibilities. This paper examines the politics of cultural heritage through a case study of a small forest in north-west Victoria. Here, a dispute about logging has pivoted around differing conceptualisations of Aboriginal cultural heritage values and their management. Cultural heritage, in this case, is both a powerful tool for the assertion of Aboriginal rights and interests, but simultaneously a set of boundaries within which the state operates to limit and manage the challenge those assertions pose. The paper will argue that Aboriginal cultural heritage is a politically contested and shifting domain structured around Aboriginal law and politics, Australian statute and the legacy of colonial history

Penilaian Potensi Daya Tarik Danau Bekat untuk Objek Wisata di Kecamatan Tayan Hilir Kabupaten Sanggau

Tayan Downstream is one of the District that is located in Regency Sanggau, West Borneo. In the Tayan Downstream there are several Lakes that each has its own potential, one of which is Lake Bekat. In the Tayan Downstream there are several Lake sthate ach has its own potential,one of which is Lake Bekat. In Lake Bekat there are many types of fishe specially the most prominent is Toman (Orheichepalus micropeltes), Kerandang (Ophiocephalus pleurophthamus) and Biawan (Hellostomata temincki). With the vastexpanse of nature through out the area + 2136.52 Ha and the beautiful scenery around the Lake,Because in the absence of Tayan Downstream nature associated with water attractions (Lake) there should be an assessment of the potential for tourist attraction on Lake Bekat. This study aims to identify andassess the potential attractiveness Lake Bekat to be developed as a tourist attractionand from this study are expected to provide information about the potential value for development Lake Bekat attractions. Thi sresearch uses descriptive methods and techniques of data collection in the field using the method of observation.From theresults of the study obtaineda value of135.98.This value is multiplied by the weighting criteria appeal to the area that is 6so135.98 x 6=815.9 or C. From the research, the need for cooperation with relevant institutions in order to in crease the potential values​​in Lake Bekat and the need for status determination so as not to conflicttareas in the future. Key words : Lake, Lake Bekat, Attraction, Tayan Downstrea

Calculation of the energy spectrum of a two-electron spherical quantum dot

We study the energy spectrum of the two-electron spherical parabolic quantum dot using the exact Schroedinger, the Hartree-Fock, and the Kohn-Sham equations. The results obtained by applying the shifted-1/N method are compared with those obtained by using an accurate numerical technique, showing that the relative error is reasonably small, although the first method consistently underestimates the correct values. The approximate ground-state Hartree-Fock and local-density Kohn-Sham energies, estimated using the shifted-1/N method, are compared with accurate numerical self-consistent solutions. We make some perturbative analyses of the exact energy in terms of the confinement strength, and we propose some interpolation formulae. Similar analysis is made for both mean-field approximations and interpolation formulae are also proposed for these exchange-only ground-state cases.Comment: 18 pages, LaTeX, 2 figures-ep

Avatars of Eurocentrism in the critique of the liberal peace

Recent scholarly critiques of the so-called liberal peace raise important political and ethical challenges to practices of postwar intervention in the global South. However, their conceptual and analytic approaches have tended to reproduce rather than challenge the intellectual Eurocentrism underpinning the liberal peace. Eurocentric features of the critiques include the methodological bypassing of target subjects in research, the analytic bypassing of subjects through frameworks of governmentality, the assumed ontological split between the ‘liberal’ and the ‘local’, and a nostalgia for the liberal subject and the liberal social contract as alternative bases for politics. These collectively produce a ‘paradox of liberalism’ that sees the liberal peace as oppressive but also the only true source of emancipation. However, the article suggests that a repoliticization of colonial difference offers an alternative ‘decolonizing’ approach to critical analysis through repositioning the analytic gaze. Three alternative research strategies for critical analysis are briefly developed

Kualitas Organoleptik Kerupuk Kulit Kaki Ayam yang Diproduksi dari Jenis Ras Ayam dan Larutan Perendam Berbeda

Kerupuk merupakan salah satu jenis produk makanan yang banyak diminati oleh masyarakat saat ini. Kerupuk dari kulit kaki ayam merupakan produk olahan asal ternak yang memanfaatkan hasil ikutan dari pemotongan ayam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kualitas kerupuk dari kulit kaki ayam yang diproduksi menggunakan jenis larutan perendam dan ras ayam berbeda. Penelitian dilaksanakan secara eksperimen laboratorium menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) pola faktorial 3x2x3. Faktor I adalah bahan baku dari 3 jenis ras ayam (ras pedaging ; ras petelur dan buras). Faktor II adalah 2 jenis larutan perendam (asam (CH3COOH 1% v/v) dan basa (Ca(OH)2 1% b/v), masing-masing perlakuan diulang 3 kali. Data pengamatan diperoleh dengan menggunakan sistem skala yang dilakukan oleh panelis. Data diperoleh selanjutnya dianalisis secara sidik ragam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perbedaan jenis ras ayam berpengaruh sangat nyata (P<0,01) terhadap penampilan warna maupun kesukaan kerupuk kulit berdasarkan persepsi konsumen, namun tidak berpengaruh (P>0,05) pada bau, cita rasa dan kerenyahan. Perbedaan jenis bahan perendam berpengaruh nyata (P<0,05) terhadap cita rasa, namun tidak berpengaruh (P>0,05) terhadap persepsi bau, kerenyahan dan kesukaan kerupuk kulit. Secara umum panelis memberikan persepsi lebih baik pada produk kerupuk kulit yang diproduksi dari bahan baku kulit kaki ayam ras pedaging yang direndam dalam larutan basa (Ca(OH)2 1% b/v)
