been on a sustained growth path. The economy grew within a band of 4.5 percent to just over 6 percent between 2002 and 2010. Comparative strength in several sectors has helped Indonesia to weather recent problems in the world economy. Production of commodities was especially useful in this respect, as in 2010 it constituted 63 percent of total exports and 26 percent of annual value added.1 Furthermore, the country enjoys a large number of micro-, small- and medium-sized

    ECOLOGICAL STUDY OF SELENIUM AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE A STUDY OF THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN SELENIUM AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IN LAMPUNG, INDONESIA Mutakin1,3, Ida F Rivai2, Andi Setiawan2, Rizky Abdulah3, 4, Kenji Kobayashi4, Chiho Yamazaki4, Satomi Kameo4, Minato Nakazawa4 and Hiroshi Koyama4 1Department of Pharmaceutical Analysis and Medicinal Chemistry, 3Department of Pharmacology and Clinical Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Padjadjaran University, Jatinangor; 2Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Science, Lampung University, Lampung, Indonesia; 4Department of Public Health, Gunma University Graduate School of Medicine, Maebashi, Japan Abstract. Selenium deficient areas have been associated with a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease in some countries. In this study, we investigated the cor- relation between cardiovascular disease prevalence and selenium concentration in paddy soil and rice grains, the main staple food in Lampung, Indonesia. Paddy soil and rice samples (ns = 35) from eight regencies (nd = 8) in Lampung were analyzed for selenium content. The prevalences of heart disease, stroke, and hypertension in those regencies were obtained from the Ministry of Health of Indonesia. The Shapiro-Wilk’s test was used to examine the data distribution. The Pearson’s correlation was used to examine the correlation between cardiovascular disease prevalence and selenium concentration in the paddy soil and rice grains. Heart disease prevalence was negatively correlated with the selenium concentration in the paddy soil (r = -0.77, p = 0.02) and rice grain (r = -0.71, p = 0.05). A negative correlation was seen for stroke prevalence and selenium concentration in paddy soil (r = -0.76, p = 0.02). Hypertension prevalence was negatively correlated with the selenium concentration in the rice grains (r = -0.83, p = 0.01).

  • Reflections on Linguistic Fieldwork and Language Documentation in Eastern Indonesia
    Language Documentation & Conservation Special Publication No. 15 Reflections on Language Documentation 20 Years after Himmelmann 1998 ed. by Bradley McDonnell, Andrea L. Berez-Kroeker & Gary Holton, pp. 256–266 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/ 25 http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24827 Reflections on linguistic fieldwork and language documentation in eastern Indonesia Yusuf Sawaki Center for Endangered Languages Documentation, University of Papua I Wayan Arka Australia National University Udayana University In this paper, we reflect on linguistic fieldwork and language documentation activities in Eastern Indonesia. We first present the rich linguistic and biological diversity of this region, which is of significant interest in typological and theoretical linguistics and language documentation. We then discuss certain central educational issues in relation to human resources, infrastructures, and institutional support, critical for high quality research and documentation. We argue that the issues are multidimensional and complex across all levels, posing sociocultural challenges in capacity-building programs. Finally, we reflect on the significance of the participation oflocal fieldworkers and communities and their contextual training. 1. Introduction In this paper, we reflect on linguistic fieldwork and language documentation in Eastern Indonesia. By “Eastern Indonesia,” we mean the region that stretches from Nusa Tenggara to Papua,1 including Nusa Tenggara Timur, Sulawesi, and Maluku. This region is linguistically one of the most diverse regions in the world interms of the number of unrelated languages and their structural properties, further discussed in the next section. This is the region where Nikolaus Himmelmann has done his linguistic 1The term “Papua” is potentially confusing because it is used in two senses.

  • Internationalisation of Indonesian Higher Education: a Study from the Periphery
    Vol. 5, No. 9 Asian Social Science Internationalisation of Indonesian Higher Education: A Study from the Periphery Sri Soejatminah (Doctoral student) School of Education, Deakin University 221 Burwood Highway, Burwood, Victoria, Australia Tel: 61-3-9244-6237 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Globalisation as a global phenomenon has been influencing Indonesian Higher Education like other education systems in the world. Internationalisation in response to globalisation is a common feature in majority universities. It is also a feature of Indonesian Higher Education institutions, yet so far it seems that the way in which Indonesian higher education is responding to globalisation with internationalisation of its universities is not well reported. This paper aims to address this gap by examining relevant government papers, policies, research, reports and other documents available on line as well as at web sites of universities and other related web sites depicting how internationalisation has been conducted in Indonesian higher education. The paper attempts to reveal the perceived challenges of globalisation for Indonesian higher education and to what extent and in what form internationalisation has been achieved. Particularly, it will analyse the relation between policies and practices and identify barriers to internationalisation. However, it should be noted that this article is selective rather than comprehensive in reflecting on the internationalisation process in Indonesian higher education. Findings show that globalisation is perceived as a challenge requiring a response rather than as a threat to be dealt with. Many sources reflect that the government has been initiating and facilitating various programs to support internationalisation within the system. It appears that lack of capability at the institution level slows down the process.

  • Community Preparation of People on the Frontier in the Facing of Mining

This paper discusses the community preparation which finally formed a local financial institution from 2009-2014; a process finally brought into being a series of pivotal local financial institutions. The ethnographic method has been employed in the collection of data. Although in 2014 this particular mining company ceased their activities, they left as a legacy several examples of best practice regarding community preparation. The mining company engaged local people from the outset, including the drafting of plans. As a result, to date there has been almost no conflict between local people and mining company. Local people consider that they have ownership of all the programs, and this has raised their sense of belonging and their feeling of power. One of the outstanding results of the discussions has been a decision to form a business entity in every village, abbreviated to Bumdeswhich stands for Badan Usaha Milik Desa. The presence of these local financial institutions in each village has reduced the bondage between people and merchants but not impaired their relationship.

  • Perceptions of Certified EFL Teachers Pertaining to Teacher Certification Program in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia
    Journal of Educational Sciences. Vol. 2, No. 1, 2018, 1-18 1 Perceptions of Certified EFL Teachers Pertaining to Teacher Certification Program in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia Anshari Syafar Universitas Tadulako, Palu, Indonesia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The state and condition of Indonesian teachers have gradually changed to a better nuance due to the compensation of teacher certification program (TCP). The program has conceivably raised the status of the teachers in social and economic lives. However, the impact of the program on the improvement of overall teacher‘s quality—teaching performance as mandated by Teacher and Lecturer Law remains questionable, and the big question is what and how teachers perceive and act in response to the objective of the program. The program aims not only to increase the teachers‘ salary, but also to improve the quality of their teaching performance based on the teacher standard competence, that is pedagogical, personality, social, and professional competences. Therefore, the study explore and describe certified EFL teachers‘ perceptions concerning benefits of the program on thier social and economic lives, improvement and quality of their teaching practices; perceptions on the ways management ran the program; and expectations for better services of the TCP management. Keywords: perception, teacher certification program, certified EFL teachers, TCP management 1 Introduction Recently, the state and condition of Indonesian teachers have gradually changed to a better nuance due to the compensation of teacher certification program (TCP).

Accepted: 10th June 2009. ABSTRACT Degradation of tropical rain forest might exert impacts on biodiversity loss and affect the function and stability of the related ecosystems. The objective of this study was to study the impact of land use systems (LUS) on the diversity and abundance of beetle functional groups in Jambi area, Sumatra. This research was carried out during the rainy season (May-June) of 2004. Inventory and collection of beetles have been conducted using winkler method across six land use systems, i.e. primary forest, secondary forest, Imperata grassland, rubber plantation, oilpalm plantation, and cassava garden. The result showed that a total of 47 families and subfamilies of beetles was found in the study area, and they were classified into four major functional groups, i.e. herbivore, predator, scavenger, and fungivore. There were apparent changes in proportion, diversity, and abundance of beetle functional groups from forests to other land use systems. The bulk of beetle diversity and abundance appeared to converge in primary forest and secondary forest and predatory beetles were the most diverse and the most abundant of the four major functional groups.
