Dampak Keterlibatan Pesantren dalam Politik: Studi Kasus Pesantren di YOGYAKARTA

Nowadays, many Islamic boarding schools (pesantren)start to involve in practical politics, turn out from their functionas Islamic education institutions. In fact, there are socio andpolitical impacts must be considered logically. This article basedon the research result in an Islamic boarding school in Yogyakarta.Using relevant theoretical frame, observation method, and depthinterview, this article tries to describe findings of politicalinvolvement in politics. Though this kind of practice giveeconomics material income, in the same time, decrease Islamicboarding schools legitimacy and impacts to community resistancetoward Islamic boarding school point of view

Pengembangan Ragam Desain Struktur Pada Kain Sandang Tradisional Dengan Menggunakan Mesin Tenun Jacquard Elektronik

Penelitian telah dilakukan dengan pengembangan desain kain tradisional pada mesin tenun jacquard elektronik. Adapun bahan baku yang digunakan, ialah benang poliester 150 Denier sebagai benang lusi dan benang kapas Ne1 60/2 sebagai benang pakan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memodifikasi desain permukaan (motif tradisional) menjadi desain struktur kain tenun dengan menggunakan teknik jacquard. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada proses pertenunan efisiensi mesin rata-rata ialah 83,59% untuk produksi kain tenun sepanjang 230 meter. Efisiensi mesin tertinggi dicapai pada proses kain tenun motif 3 (dari motif NTT) yaitu sebesar 87,25%.Penyebab utama mesin berhenti pada ketiga jenis motif kain disebabkan pakan putus sebesar 71,79% dan lusi putus 28,21%

From earthquakes to island area: multi-scale effects upon local diversity

Tropical forests occupy small coral atolls to the vast Amazon basin. They occur across bioregions with different geological and climatic history. Differences in area and bioregional history shape species immigration, extinction and diversification. How this effects local diversity is unclear. The Indonesian archipelago hosts thousands of tree species whose coexistence should depend upon these factors. Using a novel dataset of 215 Indonesian forest plots, across fifteen islands ranging in area from 120 to 785 000 km2, we apply Gaussian mixed effects models to examine the simultaneous effects of environment, earthquake proximity, island area and bioregion upon tree diversity for trees ≥ 10 cm diameter at breast height. We find that tree diversity declines with precipitation seasonality and increases with island area. Accounting for the effects of environment and island area we show that the westernmost bioregion Sunda has greater local diversity than Wallacea, which in turn has greater local diversity than easternmost Sahul. However, when the model includes geological activity (here proximity to major earthquakes), bioregion differences are reduced. Overall, results indicate that multi-scale, current and historic effects dictate tree diversity. These multi-scale drivers should not be ignored when studying biodiversity gradients and their impacts upon ecosystem function
