A New Language Policy for Indonesia

Indonesia is the house of multicultural ethnic groups with more than 700 individual vernacular languages. This diversity puts Indonesia into both strategic and a vulnerable condition. It is strategic because the culture-rich Indonesia can commodify the diversity for the benefits of the people, however, it is also vulnerable as it can pose serious threats to the existence of the nation. For several decades, Indonesia has given attention to the language policy. Yet, the implementation still needs appropriate modification for the improvement. Objective of the paper: This paper is written on the purpose of giving a new form of language policy to be implemented in Indonesia. Theoretical Framework: A scheme of language policy is proposed for educational setting in Indonesia. Justification: Some arguments are also provided to provide a strong justification for the necessity of implementation of the policy. Conclusion: 1. It is imperative to have a language policy that can promote unity and prevent any potential separatism, provide a sense of belonging to the nations and ethnic culture in terms of nationalism, and open access to knowledge enhancement and the global world. 2.

Spiritualitas Pairan: Konstruksi Teologi Lokal Manusia Baru Konteks Mamasa dalam Dialektika Pairan dan Kolose 2:16-4:1

“Spiritual Pairan” is a writing that aims to construct a new human theology in the context of Mamasa. This research starts from the problem of reducing cultural identity in the post-evangelism church conducted by Geleijnse. In addition, Aluk Mappurondo adherents claim to be "more Christian" than adherents of Christianity which is indicated by their more devout way of religion than adherents of Christianity. Responding to this problem, the author analyzes the text of Colossians 2:16-4:1 and the concept of pairan, to construct a contextual new human in Mamasa. The approach used by the author is a local theological approach. The author hopes that this approach can construct a new human concept that is contextual in Mamasa, so that the churches in Mamasa can show a quality of life that respects culture and displays ethical quality in their lives. After conducting the analysis, the writer finds that the new human construction in the Mamasa context is pairan spirituality. The author recommends that research on the encounter of each component in pairan with Christian traditions can be followed up, such as pairan dapo' with Christian families and pairan lembä with Christian leadership

REVIEW: APPLICATION OF IRRADIATION TECHNOLOGY IN NATURAL RUBBER VULCANIZATION PROCESS

APPLICATION OF IRRADIATION TECHNOLOGY IN NATURAL RUBBER VULCANIZATION PROCESS. A new vulcanization technology is needed in order to eliminate some potential negative impacts of conventional vulcanization such as contain nitrosamines and allergen proteins that are harmful to health, toxic residues of accelerator compound, cannot be done at room temperature, and sulfur crosslinking contribute to acidification impact. One of the advanced technologies that can be used in the processing of polymers, such as natural rubber, is irradiation using gamma rays. This study is descriptive analysis by conducting a literature search from books and journals of national and international reputation. Radiation in latex of natural rubber will cause free radical formation, crosslinking, and chain scission between polyisoprene chains, and also produce mostly H2 gas. For crosslinking, materials with G(S):G(X) ratios <1.00 are preferred. The dose increase till certain dose led to an increase in the cross-link density of the irradiated rubbers, while apparently, the degradation mechanism has occurred for doses greater than optimum doses. The tensile strength at break of radiation vulcanizate has long been presumed to be lower than that of sulfur vulcanizate or peroxide vulcanizate. The approaches for enhancing radiation crosslinking could be defined by incorporation with filler, increasing the possibility of polymer radical recombination, and increasing the amount of polymer radicals

The First Language Interference toward Students’ English Speaking as Foreign Language

This research aims at analyzing the first language interference toward students’ English speaking as foreign language made by sixth semester students in course design subject, such as phonological interference (pronunciation), grammatical (morphological and lexical), and lexical interference (vocabulary), and the factors that caused interference of the first language. This research is descriptive qualitative. The findings of the research explained that students made three types of interference categorized as phonological interference such as pronounce the word incorrectly (vowel, diphthong, consonan, and allophonic variation), grammatical interference such as in morphological (singular-plural agreement) and syntactical (subject-verb agreement, phrase, comparative adjective, possessive adjective, and parallel structure),  and lexical interference such as in vocabulary (combining between Indonesian and the English language). The data showed that students often make error in phonological aspect. The factors that caused first language interference are lack of knowledge, Indonesian transfer, and lack of vocabularies of foreign language that mastered by students or respondents

Peran Dinas Pertanian dalam Perlindungan Lahan Pertanian Pangan Berkelanjutan di Kota Bukittinggi

An important issue in today's development is sustainable agriculture. Along with the increasing rate of conversion of agricultural land to non-agriculture, the government made regulations to control land conversion by issuing Law No. RI. 41 of 2009 concerning the Protection of Sustainable Food Agricultural Land (LP2B). Just as Indonesia has experienced agricultural land conversion, in West Sumatra, especially in the City of Bukittinggi, agricultural land conversion has also occurred. In this case, the Local Government of Bukittinggi City, especially the Department of Agriculture and Food, is mandated to make a special policy on LP2B. However, this regulation has not yet been issued. This study aims to determine the role of the Department of Agriculture in the Protection of LP2B in Bukittinggi City.
