Delicious Japanese food, Japanese culture, and the characters and friendliness of the Japanese also impressed me. ◆ Indonesian official There are quite a few things that made an impression on me in this visit. Among others, the following points were quite impressive: (1) On the occasion of a facility visit, the Japanese people talked briefly by focusing on key points in a concise way to provide explanation; (2) People always expressed their sympathy to those who were affected by the earthquake in Indonesia, and they were considerate; (3) All activities were carried out efficiently and effectively; (4) The people I met in Japan were all kind and friendly; (5) It was clean everywhere; and (6) The meals were healthy. ◆ Indonesian official When I visited Japanese companies, facilities, and local governments, I found that Japanese culture, courtesy, and life are rich, and that the economy, education, and technology of Japan have been developed. 5.

FLASSY a†, Keterina KAFIAR b, Josefint WANDOSA b, Nehemia SEKAITELES b, Yohanis MANDIK b, & Yane ANSANAY ba† Abstract. This paper evaluates Papua provincial assets which are not utilized or not optimally utilized in Integrated Economic Development Zone (KAPET) of Biak. Through a case study analysis, direct observation, direct interview and literature studies conducted in this research, we found that the KAPET of Biak assets which also are the Papua provincial government’s assets have not been consistently well maintained and protected. Several assets were unutilized and were abandoned. Considering the great potentials of KAPET- Biak area which has cultural richness, rich resources area, strategic position in the middle of world economic growth triangle and on the hub of the global route for trading in pacific region. It would be better to develop the KAPET-Biak and its assets for further zonal developmental concept in this more global world. The provincial government and all stake holders can also develop and utilize several assets to be the part of research and educational center (LIPTEK Lab and office). Keywords.

R. Dr. Don A. L. Flassy Isbi-Liptek-Papua Abstract The title of this paper Natural Environment vis-à-vis Living Environment in the Culture and Philosophy of Papua Melanesia questions the Natural Environment versus Living Environment in cultural and philosophical life of the Melanesian in general and Papua in particular. In questioning that, we are confronted with three main points, first, in the daily practice of Melanesian ethnicity, especially in Papua, facing tensions that can also be called conflicts of interest between "environment" as the Natural Environment but because it is confined to foreign interests (outsiders) so it must accept the concept of the Living Environment; second, Environmental Concepts in Culture and Philosophy of Papua-Melanesia, third, Peaceful Steps as a logical consequence of the concept of sustainability.The purpose of this writing is academic and practical. The academic goals is using Structuralism and Hidden Structure theory converged with other supporting theories, bringing the compromise and action to nature in a sustainable manner. The practical purpose with respect to that is to know the concept of Papua-Melanesian emik related to the existence environment in the form of daily life behavior as well as philosophy in the form of‖source of life‖ and "way of life".Furthermore, this research also introduces what is called Papuanistics and Melanesianology.

  • On the Limits of Indonesia
    CHAPTER ONE On the Limits of Indonesia ON July 2, 1998, a little over a month after the resignation of Indonesia’s President Suharto, two young men climbed to the top of a water tower in the heart of Biak City and raised the Morning Star flag. Along with similar flags flown in municipalities throughout the Indonesian province of Irian Jaya, the flag raised in the capital of Biak-Numfor signaled a demand for the political independence of West Papua, an imagined nation comprising the western half of New Guinea, a resource-rich territory just short of Indonesia’s east- ernmost frontier. During the thirty-two years that Suharto held office, ruling through a combination of patronage, terror, and manufactured consent, the military had little patience for such demonstrations. The flags raised by Pap- uan separatists never flew for long; they were lowered by soldiers who shot “security disrupters” on sight.1 Undertaken at the dawn of Indonesia’s new era reformasi (era of reform), the Biak flag raising lasted for four days. By noon of the first day, a large crowd of supporters had gathered under the water tower, where they listened to speeches and prayers, and sang and danced to Papuan nationalist songs. By afternoon, their numbers had grown to the point where they were able to repulse an attack by the regency police, who stormed the site in an effort to take down the flag. Over the next three days, the protesters managed to seal off a dozen square blocks of the city, creating a small zone of West Papuan sovereignty adjoining the regency’s main market and port.

Accordingly, this research aims to discover the local financial performance in Indonesian outermost and foremost areas based on the various calculating indicators. This research also intends to reveal the local financial independence impacts of outermost and foremost areas on their people’s welfare. The analysis results indicate that most of the outermost and foremost local governments in Indonesia possess a very low financial independent ratio. Those areas still prioritize their government expenditure to fulfill the indirect purchase which is not paying attention to develop their areas. Overall, the financial performance of those areas until now does not contribute a real impact on improving the border people’s welfare.

This study examines the effects of meteorological factors in Japan on the occurrence of scrub typhus, a mite-borne zoonosis caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi. Using negative binomial regression, we analysed the relationships between meteorological factors (including temperature, rainfall, snowfall) and spring–early summer cases of scrub typhus in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan, during 1984–2014. The average temperature in July and August of the previous year, cumulative rainfall in September of the previous year, snowfall throughout the winter, and maximum depth of snow cover in January and February were positively correlated with the number of scrub typhus cases. By contrast, cumulative rainfall in July of the previous year showed a negative relationship to the number of cases. These associations can be explained by the life-cycle of Leptotrombidium pallidum, a predominant vector of spring–early summer cases of scrub typhus in northern Japan.

The result of the research shows three isolates (ABNP 8, ABNP P and ABNP 11) of isolate local B. thuringiensis which the toxicity is ≥ 85%. The difference in toxicity may becaused by the difference of strain, the ability of the enzymes in larvae stomach to dissolve δ endotoxin, in which when dissolved in insect gut, it will turn into shorter insecticidal peptides (27-149 kd) and subsequently interact with epithelium cells in the larval midgut and cause pores formation (very small holes) inside the channel digestion membrane and disrupt the osmotic balance, the cell swells and eventually ruptures causing the death of larvae.

  • Governing New Guinea New
    Governing New Guinea New Guinea Governing An oral history of Papuan administrators, 1950-1990 Governing For the first time, indigenous Papuan administrators share their experiences in governing their country with an inter- national public. They were the brokers of development. After graduating from the School for Indigenous Administrators New Guinea (OSIBA) they served in the Dutch administration until 1962. The period 1962-1969 stands out as turbulent and dangerous, Leontine Visser (Ed) and has in many cases curbed professional careers. The politi- cal and administrative transformations under the Indonesian governance of Irian Jaya/Papua are then recounted, as they remained in active service until retirement in the early 1990s. The book brings together 17 oral histories of the everyday life of Papuan civil servants, including their relationship with superiors and colleagues, the murder of a Dutch administrator, how they translated ‘development’ to the Papuan people, the organisation of the first democratic institutions, and the actual political and economic conditions leading up to the so-called Act of Free Choice. Finally, they share their experiences in the UNTEA and Indonesian government organisation. Leontine Visser is Professor of Development Anthropology at Wageningen University. Her research focuses on governance and natural resources management in eastern Indonesia. Leontine Visser (Ed.)
