  • The Lawa River P.O
    INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS JHM-12 BACK TO THE LAWA RIVER P.O. Box 206 Kalimantan Mr. Peter Bird Martin Samarinda, East Executive Director Indonesia Institute of Current World Affairs April 1988 4 West Wheelock Street Hanover, New Hampshire 03755 USA Dear Peter, Two days and a night aboard the Aspian Noor, slowly chugging up the Mahakam and Pahu Rivers last December were enough to get me excited about the wind and speed of myfirst ride on the Kalhold Utama Company's logging road. Racing over smooth-packed earth in the night, the logging truck seemed like transport from another world. The driver, a wiry chain-smoker from South Sulawesi (the island east of Borneo) relished driving this road at night, headlights flashing yellow, red, or green in the eyes of nocturnal creatures stunned by the sudden brightness. He got poetic, talking about the road flowing through the jungle like a river, and pointing out how the treetops' deep black silhouettes stood out against the brilliant edge of the Milky Way. In the hour-long rush whoosh from the company's Pahu River landing place to the main logging camp, 69 kilometers over rolling hills to the south, the road began to seem almost miraculous to me, powerful technology in the starlight. When returned to the area almost three months later, any magic the company road held for me evaporated under the intensity of a mid-afternoon sun. The road was no river, but a heat-reflecting equatorial desert cutting through the ramains of logged-over forest interspersed with swidden fields of ripe padi.

  • Oral and Written Traditions of Buginese: Interpretation Writing Using the Buginese Language in South Sulawesi
    Volume-23 Issue-4 ORAL AND WRITTEN TRADITIONS OF BUGINESE: INTERPRETATION WRITING USING THE BUGINESE LANGUAGE IN SOUTH SULAWESI 1Muhammad Yusuf, 2Ismail Suardi Wekke Abstract---The uniqueness of the Buginese tribe is in the form of its oral and written traditions that go hand in hand. Oral tradition is supported by the Lontarak Manuscript which consists of Lontarak Pasang, Attoriolong, and Pau-pau ri Kadong. On the other hand, the Buginese society has the Lontarak script, which supports the written tradition. Both of them support the transmission of the knowledge of the Buginese scholars orally and in writing. This study would review the written tradition of Buginese scholars who produce works in the forms of interpretations using the Buginese language. They have many works in bequeathing their knowledge, which is loaded with local characters, including the substance and medium of the language. The embryonic interpretation began with the translation works and rubrics. Its development can be divided based on the characteristics and the period of its emergence. The First Period (1945 – 1960s) was marked by copying interpretations from the results of scholars’ reading. The Second Period (the mid-1960s – 1980s) was marked by the presence of footnotes as needed, translations per word, simple indexes, and complete interpretations with translations and comments. The Third Period (the 1980s – 2000s) started by the use of Indonesian and Arabic languages and the maintenance and development of local interpretations in Buginese, Makassarese, Tator, and Mandar. The scholar adapts this development while maintaining local treasures. Keywords---Tradition, Buginese, Scholar, Interpretation, Lontarak I.

Using mitochondrial DNA from 433 ant colonies collected from 32 locations spanning Borneo, Malaya and Sumatra, we infer branching relationships, patterns of genetic diversity and population history. We reconstruct a time frame for the ants' diver- sification and demographic expansions, and identify areas that might have been refugia or centres of diversification. Seventeen operational lineages are identified, most of which can be distinguished by host preference and geographical range. The ants first diversified 16-20 Ma, not long after the onset of the everwet forests in Sundaland, and achieved most of their taxonomic diversity during the Pliocene. Pleistocene demographic expansions are inferred for several of the younger lineages. Phylogenetic relationships suggest a Bornean cradle and major axis of diversification. Taxonomic diversity tends to be associated with mountain ranges; in Borneo, it is greatest in the Crocker Range of Sabah and concentrated also in other parts of the northern northwest coast.

  • Genetic Inheritance in the Isolects of Kotawaringin Barat, Kalimantan
    Genetic Inheritance in the Malayic languages of Kotawaringin Barat, Indonesia by Chad K. White (Under the direction of Jared Klein) Abstract This thesis will attempt to classify the languages of Kotawaringin Barat, Kalimantan Tengah, Indonesia using comparative analysis and dialectology. Comparison will be made with Proto-Malayic and other comparative dialectal studies to determine if the KoBar lan- guages are autochthonous to Borneo or part of a back-migration of Malay languages from outside Borneo. If they are autochthonous, then I will seek to place them in the network of Malayic dialects based on phonological changes. Finally, the internal relationships of the languages will be determined based on sound changes. It is my hope that this paper will move forward the study of Malayic languages on Borneo.

  • 11Th Flora Malesina Symposium, Brunei Darussalm, 30 June 5 July 2019 1
    11TH FLORA MALESINA SYMPOSIUM, BRUNEI DARUSSALM, 30 JUNE 5 JULY 2019 1 Welcome message The Universiti Brunei Darussalam is honoured to host the 11th International Flora Malesiana Symposium. On behalf of the organizing committee it is my pleasure to welcome you to Brunei Darussalam. The Flora Malesiana Symposium is a fantastic opportunity to engage in discussion and sharing information and experience in the field of taxonomy, ecology and conservation. This is the first time that a Flora Malesiana Symposium is organized in Brunei Darissalam and in the entire island of Borneo. At the center of the Malesian archipelago the island of Borneo magnifies the megadiversity of this region with its richness in plant and animal species. Moreover, the symposium will be an opportunity to inspire and engage the young generation of taxonomists, ecologists and conservationists who are attending it. They will be able to interact with senior researchers and get inspired with new ideas and develop further collaboration. In a phase of Biodiversity crisis, it is pivotal the understanding of plant diversity their ecology in order to have a tangible and successful result in the conservation action. I would like to thank the Vice Chancellor of UBD for supporting the symposium. In the last 6 months the organizing committee has worked very hard for making the symposium possible, to them goes my special thanks. I would like to extend my thanks to all the delegates and the keynote speakers who will make this event a memorable symposium.
