Tribal Weaving of the Lesser Sunda Islands
TRIBAL WEAVING OF THE LESSER SUNDA ISLANDS The diverse Lesser Sunda Islands, stretching eastwards from Bali, offer the most amazing landscapes and a glorious cornucopia of weaving for textile lovers. Here women not only continue to make their traditional cloth on back-tension looms but continue to wear it as well. There is kaleidoscopic variety of patterns and designs – every region of every island has its own unique textile culture, its own style of dress, and its own motifs. Together we will explore the extraordinary ancestral traditions of these islands where textiles are the predominant form of artistic expression, still playing a central role in every significant stage of life, especially marriage and death. Some islanders tell us, “Without cloth we cannot marry.” However, change is underway series of evening talks. Please Note: The price of this cruise in even the remotest villages, and weavers are no longer does not include any domestic airfares to and from our start passing on their skills to the next generation.

It is thus a distribution study, in line with others that have looked at the distribution of musical elements in Indonesia (Kunst 1939), the Philippines (Maceda 1998), Oceania (McLean 1979, 1994, 2014), and the region peripheral to the South China Sea (Revel 2013). With the exception of McLean, these studies have focused exclusively on material culture, namely musical instruments, tracing their geographical distribution and the vernacular terms associated with them. The aim has been to reveal cultural continuities and discontinuities and propose hypotheses about prehistoric settlement and culture contact in Insulindia and Oceania. -
1 Investigation of the Energy Potential from Tidal Stream
INVESTIGATION OF THE ENERGY POTENTIAL FROM TIDAL STREAM CURRENTS IN INDONESIA Kadir Orhan1, Roberto Mayerle1, Rangaswami Narayanan1 and Wahyu Widodo Pandoe2 In this paper, an advanced methodology developed for the assessment of tidal stream resources is applied to several straits between Indian Ocean and inner Indonesian seas. Due to the high current velocities up to 3-4 m/s, the straits are particularly promising for the efficient generation of electric power. Tidal stream power potentials are evaluated on the basis of calibrated and validated high-resolution, three-dimensional numerical models. It was found that the straits under investigation have tremendous potential for the development of renewable energy production. Suitable locations for the installation of the turbines are identified in all the straits, and sites have been ranked based on the level of power density. Maximum power densities are observed in the Bali Strait, exceeding around 10kw/m2. Horizontal axis tidal turbines with a cut-in velocity of 1m/s are considered in the estimations. The highest total extractable power resulted equal to about 1,260MW in the Strait of Alas. Preliminary assessments showed that the power production at the straits under investigation is likely to exceed previous predictions reaching around 5,000MW. Keywords: renewable energy; tidal stream currents; numerical model; Indonesia INTRODUCTION The global energy supply is facing severe challenges in terms of long-term sustainability, fossil fuel reserve exhaustion, global warming and other energy related environmental concerns, geopolitical and military conflicts surrounding oil rich countries, and secure supply of energy. Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, wave and tidal energy are capable of meeting the present and future energy demands with ease without inflicting any considerable damage to global ecosystem (Asif et al. -
Potential Eradication of Rabies from Flores in Indonesia
Potential Eradication of Rabies from Flores in Indonesia Scott-Orr, H (1), Bingham, J (2), Saunders, G (1), Dibia, IN (3), Putra, AAG (3) Geong, M (4). (1) NSW Department of Primary Industries, Orange, NSW, Australia (2) Australian Animal health Laboratory, CSIRO, Geelong, Victoria, Australia (3) Disease Investigation Centre, Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia (4) Provincial Livestock Services, Kupang, Nusa Tenggara Timur, Indonesia Abstract: Development of a potential strategy for the eradication of canine rabies from Flores is described. Rabies entered the Indonesian island of Flores in 1997 and gradually spread east to the adjacent island of Lembata and west throughout Flores island over the next seven years. It is now endemic with approximately 1000 post-exposure prophylactic treatments and some human deaths each year. Reasons for persistence of the disease despite eradication attempts include; the difficult terrain of Flores and Lembata; cultural and economic roles of dogs in Flores leading to poor cooperation with elimination attempts; the very high dog population when rabies entered; rapid turnover of the dog population and its ability to rebound quickly after population reduction programs; difficulty in catching and presenting dogs for parenteral vaccination; and low duration of immunity provided by the local injectable vaccine. However, eradication is still highly desirable to prevent further spread of rabies to other islands, as well as eliminating ongoing costs and human misery from the disease on Flores. A strategy of mass dog vaccination -

Fokus kajian disertasi ini adalah menganalisis sikap Kerajaan Larantuka terhadap kebijakan politik kolonial Belanda, Misi Katolik Belanda, penduduk negeri pegunungan, dan kerajaan lokal sekitarnya.Kerajaan Larantuka yang dipimpin oleh raja-rajanya melakukan strategi politik sekutu dan seteru dalam mempertahankan kedaulatannya menghadapi kekuatan-kekuatan yang mengancamnya. Selama Abad ke-17 hingga abad ke-18, Kerajaan Larantuka bersekutu dengan Portugis dan para Kapiten Mayor dari keluarga Portugis Hitam, keluarga da Hornay dan da Costa untuk menghadapi kekuatan Belanda VOC dan Kerajaan Muslim Lima Pantai Solor Watan Lema .Pada abad ke-19, Kerajaan Larantuka dipaksa menerima hasil perjanjian Portugal dan Belanda yang dimulai sejak 1851 dan disetujui pada 20 April 1859. Perjanjian tersebut berisi penyerahan wilayah Flores dan Kepulauan Solor-Alor kepada Belanda. Sejak saat itu, Kerajaan Larantuka menjadi kerajaan bawahan Pemerintah Hindia Belanda. Belanda kemudian mengikat kontrak dengan Kerajaan Larantuka pada 28 Juni 1861, namun Korte Verklaring tersebut masih memberikan keleluasaan Kerajaan Larantuka untuk menjalankan pemerintahan secara otonom/zelfbesturende.Raja-raja Larantuka sejak 1851 melakukan perubahan strategi politik sekutu dan seterunya sebagai upaya tetap mempertahankan kedaulatannya. -
Raja Lorenzo II a Catholic Kingdom in the Dutch East Indies
RESEARCH Don Lorenzo Diaz Vieira Godinho of Larantuka, Flores, became Raja on 14 September 1887 and was deposed on 1 July 1904. During his reign he was the hope of the local Jesuit mission and often the despair of colonial civil authorities. In the end, as the Dutch leached power from the rajas, Lorenzo’s reign marked the end of any pretence of independent power. Raja Lorenzo II A Catholic kingdom in the Dutch East Indies R. H. Barnes Metz did gain influence over him, but things did not turn out as expected. Civil Commissioner E. F. Kleian sent word that the local heads wished to pass over Lorenzo, who was too young to take over the urchased from the Portuguese in 1859, the small kingdom of Larantuka was one of the very few government, which had fallen into decay owing to Gaspar’s indolence. Instead, they appointed Gaspar’s PCatholic realms in the Dutch East Indies. Spread across the islands of Flores, Solor, Adonara and half-brother Dominggo (Ecoma Verstege 1877b). A shocked Father Metz wrote the Bishop that things, Lembata, it was interspersed irregularly with the holdings of five smaller Muslim kingdoms. Before the ‘definitely against my desires’, had taken a completely different course. Metz objected to the fact, as he Dutch took over, the Rajas of Larantuka regarded themselves as independent monarchs with a tributary saw it, that Dominggo was a bastard of Lorenzo I. He had confidentially told two Christians who had the relationship to the Portuguese Crown. They were surprised and appalled to be sold. -

Status and Habitat Associations of Birds on Lembata Island, Wallacea, Indonesia, with Reference to a Simple Technique for Avifaunal Survey on Small Islands
Bird Conservation International (2002) 12:365–381. BirdLife International 2002 DOI: 10.1017/S095927090200223X Printed in the United Kingdom Status and habitat associations of birds on Lembata Island, Wallacea, Indonesia, with reference to a simple technique for avifaunal survey on small islands COLIN R. TRAINOR Summary The islands of Wallacea were surveyed most intensely by field ornithologists in the nineteenth century, and again in the 1990s. However, the status and habitat use of bird species on many islands remains unknown. This study examined birds in several natural and disturbed habitats on Lembata (also known as Lomblen) Island, Indonesia. A total of 78 bird species were recorded including six endemic to the Lesser Sundas, an additional three Wallacean endemics and a total of 27 resident forest species. Including published records, 91 bird species have been recorded for Lembata. Extrapolation from the cumulative number of new species in the 45 samples gave an expected Total Bird Richness of 103.4 species. The frequency of occurrence of Lesser Sundas endemic bird species, all Wallacean endemics and Lesser Sundas endemic subspecies, forest-dependent species and frugivores was greatest in closed canopy forest (at higher elevations). Conversely, generalist ‘‘Australo-Papuan’’ species, granivores and nectarivores occurred more frequently in lowlands (including human-modified habitats). Protected area proposals were made in 1982, but there has been no management of natural areas for biological conservation on Lembata. Conservation activities aiming to stem forest loss and fragmentation in an Important Bird Area in southern Lembata, which includes significant populations of the Flores Green Pigeon Treron floris (Globally Vulnerable), may be an important step. -
