The Language Attitudes of Madurese People and the Prospects of Madura Language Akhmad Sofyan Department of Humanities, University of Jember, Jember, Indonesia
The International Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities Invention 4(9): 3934-3938, 2017 DOI: 10.18535/ijsshi/v4i9.06 ICV 2015:45.28 ISSN: 2349-2031 © 2017, THEIJSSHI Research Article The Language Attitudes of Madurese People and the Prospects of Madura Language Akhmad Sofyan Department of Humanities, University of Jember, Jember, Indonesia Abstract: Due to Madurese language behavior that does not have a positive attitude towards the language, Madurese has changed a lot. Many of the uniqueness of Madura language that is not used in the speech, replaced with the Indonesian language. Recently, in Madura language communication, it is found the use of lexical elements that are not in accordance with the phonological rules of Madura Language. Consequently, in the future, Madura language will increasingly lose its uniqueness as a language, instead it will appear more as a dialect of the Indonesian language. Nowadays, the insecurity of Madura language has begun to appear with the shrinking use of this language in communication. Therefore, if there is no a very serious and planned effort, Madura language will be extinct soon; No longer claimed as language, but will only become one of the dialects of the Indonesian language. Keywords: language change, uniqueness, dialectic, speech level, development. INTRODUCTION enjâ'-iyâ (the same type of ngoko speech in Javanese), Madura language is a local language that is used as a medium engghi-enten (The same type of krama madya in Javanese), of daily communication by Madurese people, both for those and èngghi-bhunten (the same type of krama inggil in who live in Madura Island and small islands around it and Javanese); Which Madurese people call ta’ abhâsa, bhâsa those who live in overseas. -
Climate Change, Rice Crops and Violence. Evidence from Indonesia
Climate Change, Rice Crops and Violence. Evidence from Indonesia Raul Caruso Ilaria Petrarca Roberto Ricciuti CESIFO WORKING PAPER NO. 4665 CATEGORY 10: ENERGY AND CLIMATE ECONOMICS FEBRUARY 2014 An electronic version of the paper may be downloaded • from the SSRN website: www.SSRN.com • from the RePEc website: www.RePEc.org • from the CESifo website: www.CESifoT -group.org/wp T CESifo Working Paper No. 4665 Climate Change, Rice Crops and Violence. Evidence from Indonesia Abstract This paper adopts an instrumental variable approach to uncover the impact of variations in minimum temperature on emergence and severity of actual violence through the effect on food availability, captured by rice crops per capita. The link between increase in minimum temperature and rice crops is suggested by natural science literature. We use Indonesia as a case study over the period 1990-2003. Results show that an increase of the minimum temperature during the core month of the ‘wet planting season’, i.e. December, determines an increase in violence fuelled by the reduction in future rice production per capita. JEL-Code: D740, Q540, O130. Keywords: Indonesia, climate change, minimum temperature, rainfall, food availability, paddy rice, rice crops, routine violence.

Working List of Prairie Restricted (Specialist) Insects in Wisconsin (11/26/2015)
Working List of Prairie Restricted (Specialist) Insects in Wisconsin (11/26/2015) By Richard Henderson Research Ecologist, WI DNR Bureau of Science Services Summary This is a preliminary list of insects that are either well known, or likely, to be closely associated with Wisconsin’s original native prairie. These species are mostly dependent upon remnants of original prairie, or plantings/restorations of prairie where their hosts have been re-established (see discussion below), and thus are rarely found outside of these settings. The list also includes some species tied to native ecosystems that grade into prairie, such as savannas, sand barrens, fens, sedge meadow, and shallow marsh. The list is annotated with known host(s) of each insect, and the likelihood of its presence in the state (see key at end of list for specifics). This working list is a byproduct of a prairie invertebrate study I coordinated from1995-2005 that covered 6 Midwestern states and included 14 cooperators. The project surveyed insects on prairie remnants and investigated the effects of fire on those insects. It was funded in part by a series of grants from the US Fish and Wildlife Service. So far, the list has 475 species. However, this is a partial list at best, representing approximately only ¼ of the prairie-specialist insects likely present in the region (see discussion below). Significant input to this list is needed, as there are major taxa groups missing or greatly under represented. Such absence is not necessarily due to few or no prairie-specialists in those groups, but due more to lack of knowledge about life histories (at least published knowledge), unsettled taxonomy, and lack of taxonomic specialists currently working in those groups. -

Intot Obliv i The disappearing native mammals of northern Australia Compiled by James Fitzsimons Sarah Legge Barry Traill John Woinarski Into Oblivion? The disappearing native mammals of northern Australia 1 SUMMARY Since European settlement, the deepest loss of Australian biodiversity has been the spate of extinctions of endemic mammals. Historically, these losses occurred mostly in inland and in temperate parts of the country, and largely between 1890 and 1950. A new wave of extinctions is now threatening Australian mammals, this time in northern Australia. Many mammal species are in sharp decline across the north, even in extensive natural areas managed primarily for conservation. The main evidence of this decline comes consistently from two contrasting sources: robust scientifi c monitoring programs and more broad-scale Indigenous knowledge. The main drivers of the mammal decline in northern Australia include inappropriate fi re regimes (too much fi re) and predation by feral cats. Cane Toads are also implicated, particularly to the recent catastrophic decline of the Northern Quoll. Furthermore, some impacts are due to vegetation changes associated with the pastoral industry. Disease could also be a factor, but to date there is little evidence for or against it. Based on current trends, many native mammals will become extinct in northern Australia in the next 10-20 years, and even the largest and most iconic national parks in northern Australia will lose native mammal species. This problem needs to be solved. The fi rst step towards a solution is to recognise the problem, and this publication seeks to alert the Australian community and decision makers to this urgent issue. -

The species may be locally common in some areas, especially in Bangladesh. It is exclusively herbivorous in the wild, with jaw surfaces highly specialized for folivory. It nests in winter, laying a single clutch of 6–10 elongate, slightly tapered eggs, measuring about 50 x 20 mm. The species appears to be threatened by heavy exploitation in Bangladesh.
