Not A Multicultural Society

This article was intended to criticise the expert's claims towards across disciplines who stated the Balinese people were a multicultural society and had been inherited since royal and prehistoric times. Whereas, the multiculturalism was as the main concepts that make up the newly formed multicultural conception of society in the United States in the 1960s. The claim was a historical reality that was not neutral, which was more geared to the present interests, in order to justify the general opinion that stated Balinese people was the most tolerant society in Indonesia. The historical evidence and practice interfaith society life, both past and present proof indicates otherwise, the Balinese people was not a multicultural society, but only a plural society. The conclusions were derived based the three questions formulated. which was why people who have the power to speak on behalf of Bali need to conduct disciplinary body against the Hindus and the Muslims, how the practices of self-disciplining to the Hinduism and Islam people implemented or implemented, and what the implications of that self-disciplining of practicing for the Balinese of Hinduism and Muslim. As the cornerstone of thinking in answering, these three issues used Michel Foucault's way of thinking, especially, in the domain of disciplinary power

Indian Influences on Balinese Culture: the Role of Hinduism and Buddhism in Present Day Bali

Indian culture has dominantly influenced the Indonesian people, particularly in the western part of the archipelago. This, which started centuries ago, can still be seen in the peoples' daily lives in social, cultural, economic and political matters. Both the Hindu and Buddhist lessons have been practiced in Bali, although it is argued that the Buddhist lessons had been developed earlier than the Hindu ones. These developments have strongly characterized Balinese daily life, so, it is very important to understand how people anticipate and solve some crucial issues regarding the processes of modernization and globalization. There are some important questions that need to be addressed on the Indian influences in strengthening the Balinese culture from the earlier periods until the modern and even postmodern times. In this case, the specific questions are: Firstly, how did the Balinese accept these two lessons in their daily lives in the context of Balinization processes? Secondly, what kinds of tangible and intangible cultures of the Hindu and Buddhist lessons can be seen in the present day Bali? Thirdly, how do they strengthen the Bali identity or Balinization, known as “Ajeg Bali”

The Effect of Aerobic and Anaerobic Physical Training on the Absorptive Cells, Absorption of Carbohydrate and Protein in Small Intestine

The purpose of this study is to investigate the morphofunctional response of a total number of absorptive cells, and carbohydrate and protein absorption capability in the small intestine of Rattus norvegicus strain Wistar (RNSW) that has been subjected to aerobic and anaerobic physical training based on the morphofunctional physiological paradigm. This study was based on the separate sample pretest-posttest control group design, using a t-test, and multivariate SPSS ten program, with five percent level of significance. The sample consisted of one hundred and twenty, male RNSW, with average age of five months, and body weight of 246-278 grams. They were divided into twelve groups at random, i.e. four pretest groups, two control groups, and six treated groups where different diets were given thirty minutes before undergoing posttest. The experimental animals underwent four weeks physical training (twelve times), three groups were given aerobic physical training by swimming with a burden of three percent fasting body weight, the others three groups received anaerobic physical training by swimming with a burden of nine percent fasting body weight. The experiment was conducted at night, between 7.30 PM to 10.30 PM, in a water with a temperature of    28°C to 30°C. Result of the study revealed: (1) Aerobic and anaerobic physical training, increased the number of absorptive cells (t = -73,281, p = 0,000), and increased the absorptive capacity of carbohydrate and protein (Hotelling\u27s Trace = 0,244, p = 0,000). (2) There was a difference in the increased absorptive capacity of carbohydrate and protein among groups (Hotelling\u27s Trace = 0,404a, p = 0,000). Aerobic physical training had less influence than anaerobic physical training on the increased number of absorptive cells, and the absorptive capacity of carbohydrate and protein in the small intestine. In conclusion: (1) Aerobic physical training of swimming with a burden of three percent fasting body weight, and anaerobic physical training of swimming with a burden nine percent fasting body weight correlate with the increase the number of absorptive cells, and carbohydrate and protein absorptive capacity of the small intestine. (2) Anaerobic physical training of swimming with a burden nine percent fasting body weight has better correlation than aerobic physical training of swimming with a burden of three percent fasting body weight with the increased number of absorptive cells, and the absorptive capacity of carbohydrate and protein in the small intestine

Utilization of Bali Traditional Acoustic Tools as Physical Repellent of Bird Pest on Rice Paddy Crop

The purpose of this research is to identify the diversity of Bali's traditional acoustic tools as a physical repellent of bird pest on rice paddy crop that characterizes local Balinese wisdom as well as analyze their existence and possible modification of tools. The method used is survey method through questionnaire and direct interview to farmers (age 60 years and over) in three rice paddy crop centers, namely Tabanan (6 villages), Badung (5 villages), and Gianyar (2 villages) regencies. Based on the survey of 127 respondents, 52 people from Tabanan, 42 from Badung and 33 from Gianyar, it was found that the most common types of Bali's traditional acoustic tools used to repel bird pest by farmers, in Balinese terms, are kepuakan (91.3%), followed by pindekan (5.5%), pecut (2.4%) and kulkul (0.8%). Kepuakan is more chosen because it is considered more effective and comfortable to use to repel bird pest in rice paddy crop. According to the respondents, the most effective sequence of acoustic tools from high to low is kepuakan (80.3%), followed by pecut (10.2%), pindekan (8.7%), kulkul (0.8 and for the comfort of the use of tools, the order is kepuakan (85,8%). followed by pindekan (9.4%), kulkul (3.9%) and pecut (0.8%). All the traditional tools are the result of handicrafts Bali farmers use natural materials and are a form of the local wisdom of Balinese farmers that are certainly environmentally friendly

Bird Pest Attack and Sound Characteristics of Bamboo Traditional Instruments as Bird Pest Repellent on Rice Fields in Bali

The purpose of this study was to observe the attack of bird pest and examine Balinese bamboo traditional instruments, (in local language called kepuakan), as a repellent of bird pest. The research method used is the survey method, sample testing, or a combination of both. For bird pest attack, the survey results show that damage in rice panicles can reach 75% more. For kepuakan, the results of the survey and testing of the kepuakan samples in three rice planting centers, namely Tabanan, Badung, and Gianyar regencies, showed that kepuakan was made of bamboo rope (Giganlochloa apus) and jajang bamboo (Giganlochloa ridleyi) with various dimensions, length from 39.0-75.2 cm, diameter from 4.7-6.6 cm, thick bamboo from 0.4-0.8 cm. Sound characteristics produced by kepuakan are similar to knocking sound with the maximum sound pressure level varies from 101-112 dB at 10 cm distance and with frequency interval between 509-1,889 Hz with an average frequency of 1,205 Hz which is still within the range of hearing of birds. Based on the results of the characteristic test, the instrument of kepuakan is still feasible and safe to use as bird pest repellent on rice fields

The Analysis of Performance Based on Balanced Scorecard at Karangasem Hospital

Background and purpose: Karangasem Hospital has adopted balanced scorecard method in preparation of the strategic plan. The performance evaluation has been done based on accountability report only with the three other perspectives have never been analysed before. This study was conducted to assess those four perspectives.Methods: Cross-sectional survey was carried out among 110 inpatients and 95 employees which were selected conveniently. The data were collected by interviews using questionnaire. The data were analyzed with kartesius graph to get each item of patients and employees satisfaction that need to be priority. Secondary data analysis conducted to know the tendency of those four perspectives.Results: Based on the assessment of the four perspectives showed that the overall score is 44.7 %. It is defined as sufficient category. This also can be observed that each perspective of finance, customers and internal business process included in sufficient category. Their scores are 16.65%, 12.5% and 15.62%. Meanwhile, for the learning and growth perspective showed as weak category (0). Kartesius graph analysis showed that two items of patient's satisfaction have to do with procedure and quick service need to be concerned. However, the employees' satisfaction showed that there are five sub items which need to be concerned. They are quick response, management support and working environment.Conclusion: The performance of Karangasem Hospital based on scorecard is in the sufficient category and patients/employee's satisfaction still need to be concerned on certain items
