Tsay PerformingPREFACE Ph.D. research and writing a thesis is as a journey. At one day you start and at another day you hope to finish. In my case, the first day was in 2011. The research was really a journey. My first idea was using data mining for predicting seaweed selling prices. However, I did not get the project running. My main diffi- culty was collecting the appropriate data. Meanwhile, I was given to understand that data mining is closely related to pattern recognition. So, I looked for areas in which many data were available and where pattern recognition could be applied in a profitable way. During that period in 2012, I started to create my own database from publicly online sources, such as www.youtube.com. Thus, my journey was restarted by investigating video data of human performers. Thereafter the idea arose to do exploratory analysis of human facial expressions from video or photo data. By employing statistical analysis and data mining tech- niques I addressed the following problem statement: “What is the power of the facial expressions in competitive settings?”. Competitive settings appear, among others, in beauty contests and music competitions. I operationalised the research on four competition domains namely: Miss World International Competition, Mister World International Competition, International Piano Competition, and JKT48 (JaKarTa 48) Leadership Singing Competition. The findings of my research revealed the following four results: (1) facial expres- sions contribute to attractiveness ratings but only when considered in combination with sexual dimorphism (femininity), (2) thin slices of dynamic facial expressions contribute to the attractiveness of males in similar way as static images do, (3) facial expressions allow the identification of the winning musician, and (4) facial expres- sions can predict a direct relation to the assessment of leadership. In summary, the thesis contains the following three scientific contributions: (a) four new findings con- cerning the power of facial expressions in competitive settings, (b) a variety of small contributions to the existing literature on facial expressions, and (c) a measurement comparison of facial expressions as assessed by human beings and computers. I would like to recognise the help of many people and institutions. First of all, I would like to thank my supervisors Professor Eric. O. Postma and Professor H. Jaap van den Herik for their valuable guidance and encouragement they gave me. God bless you and your families. Second, I am grateful to the Netherlands organisation for international cooperation in higher education (Nuffic) for their sponsorship, which enabled me to undertake my Ph.D. project. I also thank the Tilburg University, the Maastricht School of Man- agement (MSM) the Netherlands, and the University of Pattimura Ambon Indonesia, for giving me the opportunity to study. Third, my sincere thanks go to all my friends and family members. In particular, to my parents Izaak Latuny and Monika Nussy, and to my brother Richard Latuny and his family (Felly, Abigail, and Zipora), I would like to express my sincere thanks for v their support that I received throughout the Ph.D. journey. To my aunts Josephina Sopacua and children, Kristin Toisuta and husband, to my uncles Johan Nunumete, wife, and children and Henoch Nunumete, wife, and children, I also would like to express my thanks for their support and their nurturance during my study in Maastricht and Tilburg. Lastly, I would also like to acknowledge the support of the staff of DCI and TiCC of the Tilburg School of Humanities, particularly my thanks go to Professor dr. A.A. Maes as the Chair of DCI. Also, I wish to acknowledge the excellent support received from the staff members, more specifically from Eva, Lauraine and the former staff members Jachinta and Joke. Finally, I wish to acknowledge the other excellent sup- port that I received, namely from the Research Department of the Maastricht School of Management (MSM). I would like to thank in particular the dean of MSM Prof. dr. W.A. Naudé as well as Patrick Mans and Sandra Kolkman as former manager and senior research staff in MSM and also Rocco Muhlenberg as a senior officer research and IT Education.

    BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1. Latar Belakang Kontes kecantikan adalah suatu ajang yang berfungsi sebagai media dalam menyuarakan hak-hak di ranah publik melalui perempuan (Watson dan Martin, 2004). Maka dari itu para peserta kontes kecantikan dilatih untuk mampu berbicara baik di hadapan public, memiliki tingkat kecerdasan yang tinggi, impresi yang menarik, terampil dalam berkomunikasi dan juga memiliki rasa percaya diri (Shaiber, dkk., 2017). Kontes kecantikan modern pertama kali diadakan di kota kecil di Belgia yaitu kota Spa pada tahun 1888. Koran lokal memuat sebuah pengumuman yang bertajuk “perempuan paling cantik di dunia” saat itu dan masyarakat diminta untuk mengirimkan foto dan profil mereka. Marthe Soucaret terpilih menjadi pemenang kontes tersebut dan bisa dikatakan bahwa ialah ratu kecantikan pertama di dunia (Rappler, 2017). Kontes Kecantikan secara umumnya sudah mulai bisa diterima secara lokal, nasional maupun secara internasional. Untuk saat ini, kontes kecantikan yang dianggap paling terkemuka secara internasional adalah Miss World yang ditemukan oleh Eric Monley pada tahun 1951, Miss Universe yang diselenggarakan pertama pada tahun 1952, Miss International yang pertama kali diselenggarakan pada tahun 1960, Miss Supranational yang pertama kali diadakan pada tahun 2009, dan Miss Grand International yang pertama kali diselenggarakan 1 pada tahun 2013 dan ditemukan oleh Nawat Itsaragrisil. Kelima kontes kecantikan tersebut terkenal dengan sebutan The Grand Slam Pageants (Global Beauties, 2019). Di Indonesia sendiri kontes kecantikan juga cukup beragam. Kontes kecantikan di Indonesia memiliki beberapa tingkat dan jenis, mulai dari kontes pemilihan duta pariwisata tingkat kota atau kabupaten, duta pariwisata tingkat provinsi, kontes kecantikan tingkat universitas, dan kontes kecantikan tingkat nasional. Kontes kecantikan di Indonesia yang bertaraf nasional biasanya mendapat perhatian lebih dari masyarakat karena adanya publikasi media massa terhadap kontes kecantikan tersebut.

  • Ladino and Indigenous Pageantry in Neocolonial Guatemala
    THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: LADINO AND INDIGENOUS PAGEANTRY IN NEOCOLONIAL GUATEMALA by Jillian L. Kite A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL August 2014 Copyright by Jillian L. Kite 2014 ii iii ABSTRACT Author: Jillian L. Kite Title: The Eye of the Beholder: Ladino and Indigenous Pageantry in Neocolonial Guatemala Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Co-Advisors: Dr. Josephine Beoku-Betts and Dr. Mark Harvey Degree: Master of Arts Year: 2014 In this thesis I utilize a feminist case study method to explore gender, race, authenticity, and nationalism in the context of globalization. Each year, Guatemala conducts two ethno-racially distinct pageants – one indigenous, the other ladina. The indigenous pageant prides itself on the authentic display of indigenous culture and physiognomies. On the contrary, during the westernized ladina pageant, contestants strive to adhere to western beauty ideals beauty and cultural norms engendered by discourses of whiteness. However, when the winner advances to the Miss World Pageant, they misappropriate elements of Mayan culture to express an authentic national identity in a way that is digestible to an international audience. In the study that follows, I examine the ways in which national and international pageants are reflective of their iv respective levels of social and political conflict and how they serve as mechanisms of manipulation by the elite at the national and global levels. v THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: LADINO AND INDIGENOUS PAGEANTRY IN NEOCOLONIAL GUATEMALA I.

    REPORT Seeding a Sustainable Society WWF-Indonesia Annual Report 2012 INTO THE BLUE A scientist closes in on the world’s largest fish, the whale shark, in Papua’s Cenderawasih Bay. This is not the time to be intimidated; the diver will need patience and skill to attach a satellite- linked data recorder and transmitter onto this gentle giant. Armed with this data, WWF and other organizations can learn more about shark behaviour (for example, where they migrate and how deep they dive) and from there, advocate to protect this amazing species. Across the Indonesian archipelago, original research such as this continues to be the foundation on which we build our conservation work—both under and above water.

  • Motherhood, Women Issues and Masculinity: Deconstructing Global Beauty Pageants
    International Journal of Research on Social and Natural Sciences Vol. III Issue 1 June 2018 ISSN (Online) 2455-5916 Journal Homepage: www.katwacollegejournal.com Motherhood, Women Issues and Masculinity: Deconstructing Global Beauty Pageants Yeamanur Khatun, English, Panchmura College, India Article Record: Received Mar. 30 2018, Revised paper received May 22 2018, Final Acceptance June 6 2018 Available Online June 7 2018 Abstract This paper aims at deconstructing the fashion beauty pageants' organisational claim to provide the contestant models and winners platforms to treading through global relations and achieve worldwide recognition, while actually fostering the myth of beauty with culturally-fabricated norms of femininity and masculinity holding up the concepts of 'Complete' or 'Perfect' woman or man to the fore. Here, we seek to talk about the political hegemony working from behind the colossal fashion world economy and how the pageants are being manipulated by the larger capitalist countries through their market capturing tactics. But what we intend most is to show that the pageant contestants sometimes act as passive resistants, countering the hegemonic discourse to dismantle the norms set by the Fashion Politics, starting from Manushi Chhillar's vote for remunerative motherhood to Reita Faria's choice of forming her own identities in their attempt to refuse the laid out set of ideologies. Keywords: Deconstruction, Fashion, Beauty pageants, motherhood, femininity, masculinity, Norms, Binaries 1. Introduction Much ink has been split upon the normative binarization of femininity and masculinity as culturally- fabricated constructions and their presentation in international beauty pageants is termed ideological and discursive. Beauty pageants treat gender as one more category along with other categories of 'caste', or 'nation' as reflected in the seemingly 'worthy' title ascription such as "Miss India" or in the very entrance forms they fill in ticking on the given boxes of gender, nationality ,religion or maritalstatus.

It proposes to explore that the pageant “Puteri Muslimah Indonesia” continues to serve the consumptive culture raised by capitalism, despite its dedication and concern to promote Islamic values. This paper wants to argue the ambivalence of this pageant which in some way still glorifies the idea that women bodies as the object of gaze through the presentation of the beautiful display of the contestants with bold makeup, high heels, ideal body, glamorous gowns and ornamented hijab, despite the requirements to have some qualities of Islamic values and elements to be able to join the competition. Keywords: Puteri Muslimah Indonesia; Objectification; Women Bodies; Beauty Pageant INTRODUCTION The popularity of beauty pageants and the glorification of the winners attract many young women to participate in the competition. Many young women who join the contest are rarely aware of the history of beauty pageants that it was initially designed to function as a reminder that women’s bodies are restricted by the measuring tape and the judge’s approval of their physicality.
