Pergeseran Makna Tradisi Baritan Pada Masyarakat Di Kecamatan Bangodua Indramayu
Authors: Salsabila Ghina Putri , Sarasati Fitri , Olivia Helen , Sudarsono Ahmad Budiman , Latief Abdul
Published: January 2025

Tradisi Baritan merupakan salah satu tradisi yang masih dilestarikan oleh masyarakat di Desa Bangodua, Kecamatan Bangodua, Kabupaten Indramayu. Tradisi ini memiliki tujuan utama sebagai upaya untuk menolak sial atau menolak datangnya wabah yang diyakini dapat mempengaruhi kehidupan masyarakat. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan Teori Konstruksi Realitas Sosial yang diperkenalkan oleh Peter L. Berger dan Thomas Luckmann. Teori ini menjelaskan bahwa realitas sosial merupakan hasil konstruksi sosial yang diciptakan oleh individu-individu melalui interaksi sosial dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, yang kemudian berkembang menjadi sebuah realitas yang diakui oleh masyarakat. Penelitian ini berada dalam kerangka Paradigma Post Positivisme yang menekankan pada adanya realitas objektif, tetapi tetap mempertimbangkan interpretasi subjektif. Metode yang digunakan adalah Etnografi Interpretatif, yang bertujuan untuk memahami makna yang terkandung dalam tradisi ini melalui sudut pandang masyarakat setempat. Untuk mendapatkan data yang akurat dan mendalam, peneliti melakukan teknik pengumpulan data yang meliputi observasi, wawancara dengan para informan, serta dokumentasi. Dari hasil wawancara, terungkap bahwa setiap informan memberikan jawaban yang beragam, mencerminkan sudut pandang yang berbeda-beda sesuai dengan latar belakang mereka masing-masing. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, penelitian ini membuktikan adanya pergeseran makna dalam pelaksanaan Tradisi Baritan di Desa Bangodua. Pergeseran ini terlihat dalam perubahan cara pelaksanaan dan simbol-simbol yang digunakan dalam tradisi Baritan dibandingkan dengan tradisi yang diwariskan oleh nenek moyang mereka. Pergeseran ini tidak hanya mencerminkan perubahan zaman, tetapi juga menunjukkan bagaimana masyarakat beradaptasi dengan perubahan sosial dan budaya yang terjadi di lingkungan mereka.

“Right Through” Gen X to Gen Z: Adaptations of Alanis Morrisette’s Jagged Little Pill and the Performance of Intergenerational Solidarity
Authors: Ulanowicz Anastasia
Published: January 2025

When her album, Jagged Little Pill, was released in 1995, singer Alanis Morissette was proclaimed the voice of her generation. Eric Smith’s 2022 novelization of the album, however, reinterprets Morissette’s lyrics to appeal to the concerns of an entirely new generation—Generation Z, whereas the 2019 Broadway “jukebox musical” adaptation depicts inter-generational relationships. These two adaptations—and particularly the musical—have the potential to enable intergenerational solidarity or the creative and political alliances forged among people otherwise distanced by discursively defined stages in human development.

Anesthesia or chemical restraint is essential in most procedures performed on large felids, requiring detailed knowledge of the species' specific characteristics and the pharmacology of available anesthetics. Among anesthetic techniques, intravenous drug administration allows for rapid distribution and dose adjustments according to the desired effects, making it widely used. This case report describes the evaluation of total intravenous anesthesia in a 17-year-old lioness (Panthera leo) undergoing endodontic treatment. The animal was transported from the Curitiba Municipal Zoo to the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Paraná (HV-UFPR) for an endodontic procedure on a lower canine after prior intramuscular sedation with zolazepam/tiletamine (625 mg). Upon arrival at the hospital, the animal was evaluated and received intramuscular pre-anesthetic medication composed of dexmedetomidine (2 mcg/kg), midazolam (0.1 mg/kg) and methadone (0.1 mg/kg). Anesthetic induction, after venous access, was performed with propofol (1 mg/kg), followed by orotracheal intubation. Anesthetic maintenance was carried out with continuous infusions of propofol, dexmedetomidine, ketamine and remifentanil, with dose adjustments as needed. For local analgesia, a mental nerve block was performed with 10 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine, targeting the left lower canine. With reduced painful stimuli, the continuous infusions were decreased, maintaining only propofol and remifentanil (5 mcg/kg/h). Extubation occurred in the surgical center, and the animal was transported back to the containment box without significant complications, aside from minor difficulties during intubation. The anesthetic protocol used kept the animal stable and provided adequate analgesia throughout the procedure.
El screen tourism y su relación con los referentes culturales en la serie de ficción Emily in Paris, temporada 1 (Netflix, 2020)
Authors: Sánchez-Martínez Josefina , Sarabia-And´úgar Isabel
Published: January 2025

Introducción: El binomio turismo-cine (turismo inducido o turismo de pantalla) ha sido ampliamente investigado, desde que, en el año 1992, Riley y Van Doren vincularan las dos industrias y vaticinaran su repercusión positiva en la economía. Uno de los recursos susceptibles de reforzar los lazos entre pantalla y turismo, aún por abordar en los estudios sobre screen tourism, es el de “referentes culturales”, directamente relacionados con la “afinidad cultural”. El objetivo de esta investigación es reflexionar sobre el uso de este componente en la trama de una ficción audiovisual como factor para acercar los rasgos distintivos de una comunidad al espectador y generar así en él un mayor interés que podría derivar en una visita turística al lugar representado. Metodología: Se elabora una ficha de análisis que sirve para identificar los referentes culturales en la primera temporada de la serie Emily in Paris. Resultados: La información se presenta en cuatro niveles: narratológico, icónico, psicoanalítico y experiencial. Discusión:  Se constata que Emily in Paris es un paradigma en la construcción de la narración a través de referentes culturales. Conclusiones: La inclusión de referentes culturales en una serie, utilizada como estrategia para fomentar el turismo, solo puede ser efectiva si la trama es contemporánea al espectador y si las localizaciones mencionadas son reales.

Educação inclusiva em Portugal, do ensino básico ao ensino superior: Uma análise da legislação
Authors: Baptista Costa Guerreiro Anabela , Branco Maria Luísa , Sant’Ana Lopes Malheiro da Silva Sofia
Published: January 2025

Introdução: Os governos têm procurado sustentar as suas políticas educativas em normativos que promovam uma educação inclusiva. O enquadramento legislativo, em Portugal, nem sempre se traduz em políticas institucionais e práticas inclusivas e exige às instituições de ensino mudanças significativas a nível organizacional e na ação dos seus agentes. Metodologia: A fim de identificar os principais elementos políticos e dispositivos legais que contribuíram para a construção do atual cenário da educação inclusiva e das suas linhas orientadoras, procedeu-se a uma análise diacrónica dos principais normativos relativos à educação inclusiva em Portugal. Resultados/Discussão: A legislação sugere que a promoção da inclusão, em contexto educativo, exige repostas de todos os seus agentes, dirigidas a todos os estudantes, numa perspetiva holística e centrada no desenvolvimento curricular, através de um desenho universal de aprendizagem. O ensino superior português deve atender ao caminho percorrido pelo ensino obrigatório com vista à promoção de uma efetiva inclusão dos estudantes. Conclusões: A legislação relativa à inclusão de estudantes com necessidades específicas e deficiência no ensino superior é escassa, e ainda devedora de uma perspetiva assistencialista, limitando-se a assegurar o acesso dos mesmos, sendo da responsabilidade das instituições de ensino a regulamentação da promoção do sucesso académico.

La forma del agua: influencia o referencia. Andrei Tarkovski y Guillermo del Toro
Authors: Flores García Laura Gemma
Published: January 2025

Introducción: En este estudio se comparan dos filmes artísticos: El espejo (Zerkalo) (1975) de Andrei Tarkovski y La forma del agua (2018) de Guillermo del Toro. Metodología: Basándonos en el análisis del lenguaje visual, encontramos mensajes subyacentes que coinciden en ambas obras. Resultados: En el año de 1975, El Espejo de Tarkovsky fue proyectada en el Festival de Moscú y al pasar de los años sus recursos estéticos sentaron un precedente, hasta el grado de que el estreno de La forma del agua parece haber recogido algunas referencias que los hacen confluir en recursos visuales y simbólicos que, para nuestra época, se han convertido en clichés artísticos. Discusión: Deshilvanando los recursos de ambos filmes, fuimos encontrando paradigmas visuales que nos permitieron tocar aguas más profundas. Basándonos en la crítica filosófica de Gilles Deleuze a partir de su ensayo Diferencia y repetición, analizamos el trasvase e interdependencia entre los principios gnoseológicos de una y otra producción.  Conclusiones: Los recursos visuales de ambas películas se presentan como una conciencia filogenética del hombre y son razones para presentar un análisis –a través del teórico Gilles Deleuze- de los posibles hilos conductores de dos momentos relevantes de la historia del cine.

Authors: Masood Tehseena , Mujeeb Afira , Mustafa Ghulam
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this research is to elucidate Pakistan's relations with North and South Korea. A number of intrinsic restrictions need to be taken into consideration while comparing Pakistan's diplomatic ties with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the Republic of Korea (ROK). First of all, because of concerns over politics and information control in both the DPRK and the ROK, obtaining thorough and up-to-date information from diplomatic sources is extremely difficult. Pakistan with South Korea and North Korea have historical relations when they established mutual respect and trust. A strong economic alliance has been paved with years of trade and investment cooperation. By recognizing the complexity of diplomatic relations between Pakistan, the Republic of Korea, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and aiming for thorough and perceptive research, addressing these constraints has improved the subject matter.
The Struggle between Civilian and Military Elites: Impacts on Political Development in Pakistan (2002–2013)
Authors: Nawaz Haris
Published: January 2025

This research aims to analyze the effects of the civil and military authority conflict on Pakistan’s political growth between 2002 and 2013. The paper will utilize Lucian Pye’s equality, capacity, and differentiation framework to critique how elite fragmentation influenced the political system. During the rule of Musharraf (2002–2008), military elites excluded the civilian elites through electoral engineering, an emasculated judiciary, and bureaucratic authoritarianism through local government legislation. The judiciary, through removing Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani from his position, aggravated the instability of the political system. Electoral changes, such as the emergence of a new dominant elite group, such as the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Party, complicate the issue. The study also establishes that a lack of unity among the civilian and military elites contributed to the erosion of political equality, weakened institutional development, and delayed differentiation, which slowed the general political evolution of Pakistan.

The Impact of viewing vistas on psychological well-being a study on the service providers in selected government hospitals in the hill country, Sri Lanka
Authors:   University of Moratuwa, Moratuwa, Sri Lanka, Rathnasinghe A.S. , Hettiarachchi A.A.
Published: January 2025

This research explores the impact of natural vistas on the psychological well-being of healthcare professionals, in Sri Lankan government hospitals around the hill country region. Given the demanding and stressful nature of their roles, understanding the preferences of medical staff for scenic views and the effect of these views on their well-being is crucial. The study is rooted in the Attention Restoration Theory by Kaplan and the Stress Reduction Theory by Ulrich, with a focus on specific parameters: Observer Landscape Distance (OLD), connection to the outside, visual content, and visual privacy. Data Collection was done in two stages: primary and secondary data collection. A mixed method approach was used in the research. The study was carried out in two hospitals in the Haputhale and Bandarawela districts. Literature suggests that the nursing staff spend most of the time in movement due to their duties; therefore, the nursing staff was selected to gather data. The research explores the relationship between exposure to natural vistas and the well-being of these professionals, considering factors such as accessibility and placement of nature views, selection of suitable vegetation and the integration of restorative elements within hospital environments. The findings reveal that borrowed natural landscape views have a restorative effect on the mind, enhancing psychological well-being among medical staff. This highlights the significance of landscape architecture in hospital design, especially in hill country regions. Emphasizing surrounding vistas and elevations, rather than solely focusing on physical infrastructure, could substantially improve the quality of life for medical service providers.

Authors:   Department of Architecture, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka, Wijesinghe W.A.M.O. , Gamage W.O.
Published: January 2025

The construction of expressways in Sri Lanka has been a critical force in the country’s development. However, most of the expressway projects will cause large-scale landscape disruptions to the natural landscape fabric. Somehow gaps in the analytical stages before the construction cause mass disruptions to the living landscapes. The study was conducted based on the ongoing central expressway to investigate the social impacts caused by the landscape disruption of the project. Under the project title, an environmental impact assessment was conducted, but the social impact assessment was not discussed responsibly. This quantitative and qualitative research was based on the selected case study locations with the highest social disturbance. The study was structured by the parameters found from the field expert’s structured interviews. Data was collected through field surveys, GIS data analysis, and satellite imagery analysis. The study will analyse the social fabric of the study areas before and after the project as a comparative study. Used parameters mentioned in the methodology can be used as a framework to analyse the social impact assessment criteria in a relevant context. The contribution of this study will be beneficial in future construction projects in Sri Lanka, to mitigate the social consequences caused by large-scale landscape disruptions.
Co-living with seasonal migrants: in respect of chanpara
Authors:   Bhumijo, Dhaka,Bangladesh, Chowdhury M.S.
Published: January 2025

In northwestern part of Bangladesh, people used to face seasonal famine which is called “Monga” in local language. They follow a way to cope with their seasonal famine. They migrate to the urban areas and work as day laborers to continue their earnings. They migrate every year from august to November. With the innovation of technology and transportation the motive of seasonal migration has slightly diverted from before, but still urban area has more working opportunities in famine season than rural areas. So, the habit of seasonal migration continues. Many NGOs and Governmental organizations have taken steps to support this community by creating working opportunities, but no one is thinking about their housing condition during migration period. Some of these migrant people stay at their known person’s house by seasonal renting system. They usually find urban slum areas to take rent. The rent of the slums which are situated at extended Dhaka, are comparatively lower than which are in the middle of Dhaka. Among many urban slums of extended Dhaka, Chanpara resettlement is one of the prominent one and existing people of chanpara are habituated with the system of seasonal renting. This study is about the living condition of the adaptation of seasonal renting system in Chanpara resettlement.

Authors:   NIBM National Innovation Centre, Kirulapone, Sri Lanka, Kariyawasam T. , Samarasinghe A.M. ,   University of Moratuwa, Moratuwa, Sri Lanka
Published: January 2025

This study explores the impact of LEED-certified building interiors on employee job satisfaction industry in Sri Lanka, with a focus on the MAS Thurulie factory. Adopting a mixed-methods approach, the research integrates quantitative and qualitative techniques to assess how specific green building elements lighting, ventilation, and thermal comfort affect job satisfaction. In the quantitative component, a survey of 180 employees was conducted, utilizing the Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS), Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS), and specific scales for lighting, ventilation, and thermal comfort. The survey data were analyzed using SPSS, with descriptive statistics revealing an average eNPS score of 30, indicating a favorable overall employee sentiment. Correlation and regression analyses showed significant positive relationships between job satisfaction and the quality of lighting (r = 0.45, p < 0.01), ventilation (r = 0.52, p < 0.01), and thermal comfort (r = 0.48, p < 0.01). Structural Equation Modeling confirmed that these environmental factors collectively accounted for 35% of the variance in job satisfaction. The qualitative component involved semi-structured interviews with 15 employees, 3 supervisors, and 3 design persons. Thematic analysis of interview data highlighted that improved lighting, effective ventilation, and optimal thermal comfort were key factors enhancing job satisfaction. Specific themes included a reported 20% increase in perceived comfort and a 15% improvement in overall satisfaction related to workplace environment. This research contributes to the literature by highlighting the specific ways in which LEED-certified interiors impact job satisfaction in a developing country context. The results offer practical recommendations for optimizing green building design to enhance employee well-being and productivity, with implications for both organizational strategies and broader sustainable building practices.

Authors:   Town and Country Planning , University of Moratuwa, Selvaratna M.V. , Bandara N.S. , Jayasinghe A.B. , Hasan M.A.F.
Published: January 2025

This study explores Living Structure, originated by Christopher Alexander and further developed by Bin Jiang, within urban settings, particularly in Sri Lanka. Utilizing building footprints as proxies for human movement, the research employs a quantitative approach to analyze and compare Living Structure patterns across Sri Lankan cities. Results demonstrate the presence of Living Structure characteristics in all case study cities, manifested through fitting power law distributions. Notably, historical cities such as Anuradhapura, Kandy, Jaffna, and Galle exhibit stronger Living Structure rankings compared to the newly developed city of Hambantota. These variations are attributed to historical backgrounds and the pace of urban development, with established morphologies supporting Living Structure patterns in historical cities. Beyond academic inquiry, the study offers practical implications for urban planners and decision-makers by illuminating the dynamics behind thriving cities and addressing identified knowledge gaps. By integrating Living Structure principles into urban planning strategies, cities can evolve sustainably over time. Through comparative analyses and exploration of Living Structure evolution within specific cities, the research contributes valuable insights into urban dynamics, guiding future planning efforts.

Published: January 2025

Dams serve as critical infrastructure for water supply, irrigation, flood control, and power generation, but their failure can lead to catastrophic consequences, including loss of life, property damage, and environmental degradation. This study aims to simulate potential breach scenarios of the Kantale Dam using hydraulic modeling to assess flood impacts and enhance disaster risk management strategies. The research employs hydraulic modeling and simulation techniques, specifically HEC-RAS (Hydrologic Engineering Center's River Analysis System), to predict flood scenarios resulting from dam breaches. Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) and GIS data are used to model the reservoir's geometry and simulate the flood propagation, providing detailed insights into flood behavior and affected areas. The analysis explores multiple breach scenarios, highlighting their impact on downstream communities, particularly the town of Kantale. The study’s findings demonstrate how simulation-based approaches can enhance early warning systems, improve emergency preparedness, and inform land-use planning to mitigate disaster risks. By developing a predictive model, research provides a valuable tool for policymakers, engineers, and disaster risk managers to optimize disaster management strategies and minimize the socioeconomic impacts of potential dam failures. The study contributes to the broader field of disaster risk management by advocating for the integration of advanced simulation techniques in dam safety assessments, thereby promoting sustainable disaster preparedness and resilient infrastructure planning.

Legal Analysis of the Determination of the Age Limit of Children Related to Sexual Crimes Committed by Children (ABH) in the Perspective of Law Enforcement in Indonesia and International Law
Authors: Sumartini Raden Siti , Hamja Hamja , Fathurrahman Farhan
Published: January 2025

The development of sexual crimes against children, both children as perpetrators or children as victims lately is very concerning. Sexual crimes are greatly influenced by time and place. The high level of human civilization and the phenomenon of globalization that increasingly knows no boundaries, in this case, is the negative impact of the influence of globalization also contributes to the emergence of various crimes of sexual harassment. Often crimes or criminality occur around our lives, including on the streets or public spaces. From the presentation, the formulation of the problem will arise, namely how is the Status and Position of Children in the positive legal system of Indonesia and International Law? What is the form of legal protection for children who have committed criminal acts in Indonesia's positive law? How is the concept of legal reform on the determination of children's age limits so that they can make a positive contribution to law enforcement?      
 The methodology used in the study uses a normative legal research method (doctrinal research) which mainly analyzes primary legal materials and secondary legal materials, in this case the researcher also complements the method of interviewing sources that is autorotac, because its nature is more focused on conceptualizing ideas in the form of models, so that the expected results can be applied by policy makers. Violations of the law that have been committed by a child, of course, in terms of law enforcement, are treated differently (diversion) from the procedures applied by adults. Therefore, researchers argue that there is a shift in understanding related to the age of children and people who are considered adults at this time, remembering the fact that some children are not yet 18 years old, but they are physically and psychologically mature. Based on the above explanation, according to the author, it is important to be able to conduct a study on the age limit of children so that they are limited legal subjects because this can be a measure for law enforcement and can provide legal protection for children who are facing the law.

The aim of this article is to reconstruct the self-image of Lemkos – an ethnic group, originally from Transcarpathia, deported from their homeland after World War II. The data come from 34 ethnographic interviews conducted either in Lemko ethnolect (N=17) or in Polish (N=17). The analysis employed the methodology developed by Lublin School of Ethnolinguistics. It showed that there are four predominant profiles of Lemko identity: (1) Lemko – a victim of history, (2) Lemko – an exile, (3) An ethnic and cultural Lemko, (4) Lemko – a peasant.
The Sequence of Elements in Chinese and English Binomials in The Lotus Sutra
Authors: Zhao Qian
Published: January 2025

This study focuses on binomials, multi-word expressions featuring a coordinating relationship between two elements, such as friend and foe or good or bad; particularly addressing the issue of the sequence of the two elements in a binomial and the constraints inf luencing their order, considering a cross-linguistic perspective. Specifically, this study focuses on binomials within two English translations of a Chinese Buddhist classic, The Lotus Sutra. By examining instances where the Sequence of Elements (SoE) in the binomials is reversed from the original source text, this study aims to explore the underlying reasons for the presence of such cases. This study examines five constraints that inf luence SoE: Perceptual Markedness, Formal Markedness, Power, Iconicity, and Number of Syllables. Utilising quantitative indicators such as Activity Rate and Success Rate, the functionality of these constraints is analysed and com- pared. Additionally, detailed case studies shed light on the nuanced decision-making processes involved in the translation of binomials. The analysis uncovers that the semantic constraints, including Perceptual Markedness, For- mal Markedness, Power, and Iconicity, significantly inf luence the translators’ decision-making process to reverse the SoE. When the target language conf licts with the source language, both translators tend to render their translations more accessible to target language readers. Moreover, the study reveals divergent approaches and preferences between the two translators, highlighting the f lexibility and freedom inherent in translation activities.
Tutorial on Fourier Transform for Ultrafast Optics
Authors: Chen Yi-Hao
Published: January 2025

This tutorial is designed for individuals who are new to the field of ultrafast optics. It was written in response to the apparent lack of comprehensive introductions to the basic Fourier transform, extending beyond the flat-phase description. Additionally, there is a need for complete derivations of several relations involving the Fourier transform, maintaining its most general formulation. This approach avoids the arbitrary selection of Fourier-transform constants and ensures a complete understanding. It shows the importance of having Fourier-transform constants as parameters, which I would like to advocate people to do. Most important of all, I have seen misuse of Fourier transform over my years of discussion in the lab and from others’ questions since I shared my code publicly on Github [https://github.com/AaHaHaa/MMTools]. Surprisingly, since people check the correctness of numerical implementation only by seeing if the simulation result is smooth and if it duplicates the “overall physics,” this seems to be a widespread problem from my perspective, which can be solved by a simple tutorial (see Sec. 2B). This is why I hope that this tutorial can help people understand more about the Fourier transform, especially in the context of ultrafast optics.

Feel me to send me an email if there is any confusion, or you think that there is more to add to this tutorial.

The Social Forestry Program in Blitar Regency has not been running in accordance with its utilization and management rights. The response from KPH Perum Perhutani and the Blitar Regency Government was still very low regarding issues of social forestry and Agrarian Reform, so that the two programs that were formed for the community were still not running effectively. The purpose of this study is the effectiveness and obstacles of the Social Forestry and Agrarian Reform programs in the Blitar Regency Forest Area. This study uses an empirical approach. Data collection technique used is interview. The results of the research show that: 1) With the existence of the social forestry program, the community gets legal protection, so that if other parties want to take over or take over, they have legal power over the land they are working on. For the people who have undergone this program, they are greatly helped by the existence of the social forestry program; 2) Agrarian reform is very appropriate for residents in forest areas. This is specifically for people who have lived there since the Dutch era, their ancestors also came from there. Their house has long been built in the neighborhood. So that the Agrarian Reform program really helps the community; 3) All problems and obstacles in the implementation of the Social Forestry and Agrarian Reform programs can be resolved quickly. This obstacle was caused by several parties missing information related to the Social Forestry program. All this time the forest was managed by Perum Perhutani but now it turns out that the community has been given management rights by forming a KTH (Forest Farmers Group), then submitting an application for a utilization permit to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. What underlies many of the proposals so far is because farmers want to be the main subjects in forest management, besides that there are also reasons that while working on forestry land they often experience pressure and intimidation from the foreman and even the paramedics of Perum Perhutani.
