Published: March 2018

Estuari di wilayah Kabupaten Banyuasin dengan potensi biodiversitas sumber daya ikan yang tinggi, merupakan wilayah penangkapan yang potensial dan berkontribusi besar terhadap poduksi perikanan Provinsi Sumatera Selatan. Distribusi biomassa sumber daya ikan di wilayah estuari sangat dinamis dan dipengaruhi oleh parameter salinitas dan suhu perairan pada suatu lingkungan perairan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kondisi kepadatan biomassa ikan dalam hubungannya dengan kondisi lingkungan perairan di wilayah perairan estuari Kabupaten Banyuasin.Pengambilan sampel ikan dilakukan dengan percobaan penangkapan menggunakan alat tangkap trawl mini yang diopeasikan di tiga wilayah estuari yaitu Sungai Banyuasin, Sungai Musi dan Sungai Upang. Pada masing-masing wilayah estuari ditentukan sebanyak empat lokasi sampling. Frekuensi pengambilan sampel dilakukan sebanyak empat kali yaitu pada Maret, Juni, Agustus dan Oktober agar mewakili kondisi musiman.Parameter lingkungan yang dianalisa adalah salinitas, suhu perairan, kecerahan, nitrat, amoniak, total fosfat dan kelimpahan fitoplankton. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebanyak 87 spesies ikan telah teridentifikasi. Diperoleh nilai kepadatan biomassa 332,13 – 861,49 kg/km2 di estuari Upang, 590,51 – 2.235,04 kg/km2 di estuari Musi dan 1.296,4 - 33.714,88 kg/km2 di estuari Banyuasin. Spesies ubur-ubur (Aurelia aurita) mendominasi tangkapan pada Agustus hingga Oktober yang mencapai 77,22% dari biomassa total ikan dikarenakan lingkungan yang sesuai untuk keperluan pertumbuhannya. Kepadatan biomassa ikan berkorelasi positif dengan parameter salinitas dan kelimpahan fitoplankton, dan berkorelasi negatif terhadap parameter amoniak. Estuaries of Banyuasin district has a high biodiversity of fish resources and significant contribution to the fisheries production in the South Sumatera Province. The biomass distribution of fish in the estuary fluctuated and probably affected by by salinity and water temperature. This research aims to investigate the correlation between biomass density and environment condition in the estuary of Banyuasin Regency. Sampling was conducted through experimental fishing used a mini trawl that operated in three estuary areas, such as: Banyuasin Rivers, Musi Rivers, and Upang Rivers. Every estuary area was replicated for four sampling sites. Samples were collected during March, June, August and October. The waters parameters analyzed were salinity, water temperature, transparency, nitrate, ammonia, phosphate total, and phytoplankton. The results showed that about 87 species of fish have been identified. The biomass density was 332,13 – 861,49 kg/km2 in estuary Upang, 590,51 – 2.235,04 kg/km2 in estuary Musi and 1.296,4 - 33.714,88 kg/km2 in estuari Banyuasin. A jelly fish (Aurelia aurita) is dominated in August to October, up to 77.22% of total biomass. The biomass density of fish was positively correlated with salinity and phytoplankton abundance, whereas negatively correlated to ammoniac condition.

Ikan cakalang (Katsuwonus pelamis Linnaeus, 1758) yang tersebar luas di Samudra Hindia selatan Jawa, Bali dan Nusa Tenggara telah dieksploitasi secara terus menerus dengan berbagai alat tangkap. Pengelolaannya saat ini belum rasional karena masih diasumsikan sebagai unit stok tunggal tanpa adanya bukti ilmiah sehingga rentan mengalami lebih tangkap. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengindentifikasi struktur stok ikan cakalang dengan teknik analisis bentuk otolith. Sampel otolith (saggittae) dikumpulkan pada bulan April, Agustus, dan September tahun 2016 di 4 lokasi, yaitu: Binuangeun, Sadeng, Prigi, dan Labuhan Lombok. Rekonstruksi bentuk otolith dilakukan dengan pendekatan outline analysis menggunakan teknik transformasi discrete wavelet. Uji statistik multivariate dengan kluster analisis menggunakan canonical analysis ofprincipal (CAP) dan uji ANOVA-like permutation juga diterapkan untuk menentukan signifikansi antar populasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa analisis bentuk otolith dapat digunakan sebagai penanda yang akurat untuk mengidentifikasi struktur stok. Bentuk otolith ikan cakalang bervariasi khususnya pada bagian rostrum, namun tidak berbeda nyata antar populasi (p>0,001). Hal tersebut berarti struktur stok ikan cakalang di Samudra Hindia (WPP NRI573) terdiri dari 1 populasi yang bergerak mengikuti pola perubahan lingkungan perairan di sepanjang Samudra Hindia. Skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis Linnaeus, 1758) distributed vastly along the Indian Ocean south of Java, Bali and Nusa Tenggara. It has been exploited by various fishing gear yet it always assumed to be a single stock. It was not based on scientific evidence but merely based on “a scientific assumption”, so that vulnerable to subject of overfishing. This research aims to examine the alternative tool for identifying the stock structure based on the otolith shape. Sampling location took place in four regions, namely: Binuangen, Sadeng, Prigi and Labuhan Lombok. The otolith (sagittae) samples was collected during April, August, and September 2016. The otolith shape was reconstructed using outline analysis with discrete wavelet transformation technique. A multivariate statistic using canonical analysis of principal (CAP) and ANOVA-like permutation test were also used to determine the signification among populations. The result showed that skipjack’s otolith shape was varied from one and another, especially in the rostrum. But it was not statistically different among regions (p>0.001), which means a single stock for skipjack in the Indian Ocean (Indonesian territory of FMA 573). This study also proved that otolith shape can be useful marker tool to identify stock structure for management purpose.

Published: March 2018

Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara pengekspor tuna dan udang tertinggi dengan negara tujuan USA, UE dan Jepang. Setiap tahunnya volume ekspor tuna dan udang mengalami peningkatan dengan pasar yang semakin luas. Pada dunia perdagangan internasional dikenal dua jenis hambatan ekspor yaitu hambatan tarif dan non tarif. Di kala berita mengenai hilangnya hambatan tarif sebenarnya di satu sisi meningkatkan jumlah hambatan non tarif yang diberlakukan negara pengimpor. Salah satu jenis hambatan non tarif yang sedang menjadi topik hangat adalah mengenai sertifikat mutu ikan yang terdiri atas berbagai jenis. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk memaparkan jenis-jenis sertifikat mutu yang secara sukarela bisa dilengkapi untuk memperluas peluang pasar bagi ekspor tuna dan udang. Hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa terdapat berbagai jenis sertifikat mutu yang harus dilengkapi eksportir diantaranya SKP, HACCP, BRC, BAP, MSC, ASC dan ISO 22000. Setiap sertifikat mengeluarkan biaya yang mahal dengan jangka waktu berlakunya sertifikat tidak lama antara 1-2 tahun saja. Permasalahan terkait pengurusan sertifikasi mutu jika tidak dibantu oleh Pemerintah Pusat ke depannya akan menjadi hambatan non tarif yang mengancam keberlanjutan usaha pengolahan tuna dan udang yang ada di Indonesia. Oleh karena itu butuh peran serta dan sinergi yang baik antara Pemerintah pusat dan eksportir untuk mengakomodir permasalahan ini.Title: Identification Of Quality Certificate As One Type Of Tuna Tradebarriers To Non Rates And ShrimpIndonesia is one of the highest exporter of tuna and shrimp products with destination markets such as USA, EU and Japan. Each year, the tuna and shrimp export volume increased by an expand broad market. There are two types of export barriers in international trade, tariff and non tariff barriers. Elimination of tariff barriers did not necessarily make reduced international trade barriers, non-tariff barriers actually increased. One of non-tariff barriers is the quality certificates of fish consisting of various types. The purpose of this study to describe the types of voluntary quality certificate can be equipped to expand market opportunities for the export of tuna and shrimp. The result showed that there are different types of quality certificate exporters must have, such as : SKP, HACCP, BRC, BAP, MSC, ASC and ISO 22000. Each certificate is highly cost and  only have a validity period of 1-2 years. Problems related to the maintenance of quality certification if it is not helped by the central government in the future, will become non-tariff barriers that threaten the sustainability of tuna and shrimp processing business in Indonesia. Therefore, need the participation and synergy between the central government and exporter to form a certification body to accommodate a wide range of export certification services.

Published: March 2018

The article presents a methodical analysis of the current experience of preventing adolescent and youthful dating violence in Russia and other countries (USA, Great Britain, Switzerland, etc.). The most controversial issues concerning the organization and conduct of preventive programs have been singled out; in particular, the choice of the main target group is considered in the light of current ideas about the micro-mediated factors of violence at the stage of dating in adolescent youthful pairs. Four strategies that are most widely used in the designated area of preventive work are described in detail: information, behavioral (training), personality-oriented and experiential. The "philosophy" of each strategy, which determines the methodological content of the activity of the psychologist and his professional position in interaction with participants, is characterized through a «conditional message» to the group. The recommendations on the prevention of violence at the stage of dating in adolescent and youth are formulated.

Published: March 2018

At the present stage there is debatable a question of influence of current state on physiological reactivity that considerably reduces a validity of a psychophysiological research. In the presented work by means of the directed psychology-sexological research the factors exerting impact on emergence of significant physiological reactions in response to presentation of standard and deviant sexual incentives when testing on a polygraph of 30 volunteers were studied. It is revealed that of healthy selection of the examinees reacting to photos with the image of a deviant sexual object it is significantly characteristic: a disharmonious personal profile, cognitive distortions, indirect violations of the sexual sphere in the form of a delay of sexual development and violation of gender identity. The phenomena described in work expand the class of available studies of the influence of the individual characteristics of the subject on his physiological reactivity and can be considered at interpretation of the data obtained during the psychophysiological research in the medical purposes on sexual offenders.

Published: March 2018

Psychological, medical and educational committees (PMECs) represent a unique type of work carried out by their interdisciplinary teams of specialists and aimed at children and adolescents. Being a part of the educational system, PMECs also belong to the system of prevention of crime among minors. However, existing legislation needs serious reconsideration within the context of activity arrangement of the committees, as well as harmonization of the problem domain thesaurus. The article analyzes controversial issues in legislative regulation of PMEC’s activities in the context of defining specific educational conditions when referring minors to the system of specialized open and closed teaching and educational facilities. We proposed and substantiated the list of documents required for a child being referred to the examination by a PMEC. On the basis of the analysis we justify the recommendations for closing the legislative gaps in regulation of PMECs, which are relevant both to the educational system and to the system of prevention of lawbreaking among minors – all with the inter-agency cooperation in mind.

Effectiveness of Intrusion Detection Systems in High-speed Networks
Authors: Hu Qinwen , Asghar Muhammad Rizwan , Brownlee Nevil
Published: March 2018

Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDSs) play a crucial role in detecting malicious activities within networks. Basically, a NIDS monitors network flows and compares them with a set of pre-defined suspicious patterns. To be effective, different intrusion detection algorithms and packet capturing methods have been implemented. With rapidly increasing network speeds, NIDSs face a challenging problem of monitoring large and diverse traffic volumes; in particular, high packet drop rates can have a significant impact on detection accuracy. In this work, we investigate three popular open-source NIDSs: Snort, Suricata, and Bro along with their comparative performance benchmarks. We investigate key factors (including system resource usage, packet processing speed and packet drop rate) that limit the applicability of NIDSs to large-scale networks. Moreover, we also analyse and compare the performance of NIDSs when configurations and traffic volumes are changed.

Published: March 2018

BACKGROUND: High body mass index (obesity) is a great health threat to aging individuals which results in increased blood pressure.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The Study was carried out in four different communities namely: Ikom, Akamkpa, Calabar South and Calabar Municipal of Cross River State, Nigeria.  It was carried out amongst 130 women who voluntarily gave their consent during a cervical screening done in their various locations during the period of December 2016 to January 2017 in Cross River State, Nigeria. Blood pressure was measured using a standard mercury sphygmomanometer to obtain both the diastolic and systolic blood pressure of the various individuals. The height and weight were obtained using a weighing balance and a stadiometer respectively to get the weight and height. It was summarized age group wise and cut off points gotten from the individuals and reviewed using the WHO classification of body mass index classification. Data obtained were presented using frequencies and percentages.

RESULTS: Underweight individuals (8)had a total percentage of 6.15%.A total of  46(35.40%) of the individuals were of normal weight..46 and 30 of the individuals had a percentage of 35.40% and 23.08%respectively(overweight and obese).A maximum number of the individuals were normal(were neither prehypertensive nor hypertensive). 49 and 19 individuals were prehypertensive in systolic and diastolic blood pressure respectively and 7 and 16 were hypertensive in systolic and diastolic blood pressure respectively.

CONCLUSION: A high body mass index and hypertension correlate with advancing age. and can be prevented by living an acceptable lifestyle devoid of it Triggers like alcohol, smoking ,reduced salt intake etc and having a regular routine check-up done periodically.

Building Speaking Fluency with Multiword Expressions
Authors: Thomson Haidee
Published: March 2018

Previous research has shown a link between speaking fluently and using multiwordexpressions. However, evidence on how to effectively teach multiwordexpressions is limited. This study investigates the effect of fluency-oriented classroomteaching on speaking fluency, with special attention to multiword expressions.In this quasi-experimental study, a sequence of activities believed to fosterfluency was implemented for 6 weeks in the classroom. The activity sequence wasbased on Wood’s (2009) fluency workshop report. The students’ gains in speakingfluency as well as their cued recall of multiword expressions were compared witha control group. Results show significant gains under the experimental conditionfor cued recall of multiword expressions (N = 73), but speaking fluency and thenumber of multiword expressions used in speech (n = 23) did not increase significantlywhen compared with the control group. The data also lend further supportto the thesis that speaking fluency and use of multiword expressions are positivelycorrelated. Learner feedback on the activities revealed “shadowing” to be one ofthe most favoured activities.La recherche antérieure a démontré un lien entre le fait de parler une languecouramment et l’emploi d’expressions comportant plusieurs mots. Toutefois, ladocumentation sur l’enseignement efficace de telles expressions est limitée. Cetteétude évalue l’effet de l’enseignement visant la maitrise de la langue sur la fluiditéorale, notamment sur les expressions comportant plusieurs mots. Au coursde cette étude quasi-expérimentale, une séquence d’activités qui devraient promouvoirla fluidité a été mise en oeuvre dans la classe pendant 6 semaines. Cetteséquence d’activités reposait sur le rapport de Wood (2009) sur un atelier portantsur la fluidité. Les progrès en fluidité orale des étudiants et leurs résultats à uneépreuve de rappel indicé portant sur des expressions comportant plusieurs motsont été comparés à ceux d’un groupe témoin. Les résultats indiquent des progrèssignificatifs en rappel indicé dans les conditions expérimentales (N = 73). Parcontre, l’amélioration de la fluidité orale et de l’emploi d’expressions comportantplusieurs mots (N = 23) n’était pas significative comparée à celle du groupe témoin.Les données appuient la thèse selon laquelle il existe une corrélation positiveentre la fluidité orale et l’emploi d’expressions comportant plusieurs mots. Lescommentaires des étudiants sur les activités révèlent que le « jumelage » était unedes activités préférées.

Lexical bundles are worthy of attention in both teaching and testing writing asthey function as basic building blocks of discourse. This corpus-based study focuseson the rated writing responses to the email tasks in the Canadian EnglishLanguage Proficiency Index Program® General test (CELPIP-General) and exploresthe extent to which lexical bundles could help characterize the written responsesof the test-takers of different English proficiency levels. Three subcorporaof email writing responses were created based on test-takers’ proficiency levels.AntConc 3.4.4 was used to identify 2- to 6-word lexical bundles, which were thenmanually coded for their discourse functions. The results showed that test-takersof higher proficiency levels used more lexical bundles in terms of both bundle typesand tokens compared with test-takers of lower proficiency level. The writing samplesof different proficiency levels shared some lexical bundles, and overall theyhad similar proportional distributions of lexical bundle functions. Nevertheless,noticeable differences among the proficiency levels were observed in the proportionaldistributions of the subfunctions of stance bundles, discourse organizingbundles, and bundles of other functions. The identification of differential use oflexical bundles can contribute to a better understanding of English learners’ emailwriting performance.Les expressions figées méritent notre attention tant en enseignement qu’en évaluationde l’écrit puisqu’elles jouent le rôle de composantes de base du discours.Cette étude basée sur des corpus porte sur des réponses écrites par courriel à destâches et évalue la mesure dans laquelle les expressions figées pourraient aiderà caractériser les réponses écrites des participants de différentes compétencesen anglais. Trois sous corpus de réponses écrites par courriel ont été créés enfonction des niveaux de compétence des participants. AntConc 3.4.4 a servi dansl’identification d’expressions figées composées de 2 à 6 mots qui ont ensuite étécodées manuellement selon leurs fonctions discursives. Les résultats indiquentque les participants de niveaux de compétence plus élevés employaient plusd’expressions figées et de types plus variés comparativement aux participants deniveaux de compétence plus bas. Les échantillons de textes de différents niveauxde compétence partageaient quelques expressions figées et, globalement, avaientdes distributions proportionnelles d’expressions figées similaires. Toutefois, desdifférences notables entre les niveaux de compétence ont été observées dans ladistribution proportionnelle des sous fonctions discursives. L’identification desdifférences dans l’emploi des expressions figées peut contribuer à une meilleure compréhension du rendement des apprenants d’anglais quand ils écrivent des courriels.
A Study in Enhancing L2 Learners' Utility with Written Academic Formulaic Sequences
Authors: Murray Lewis
Published: March 2018

Intervention exercises have tended to be limited to restricted controlled output instudies related to second language (L2) learners’ acquisition of written academicformulaic sequences (FSs), while measurement of use has been drawn from freeroutput (AlHassan & Wood, 2015; Jones & Haywood, 2004; Peters & Pauwels,2015). The current study reports on an intervention designed to be less controlledthan previous studies and therefore closer to what learners would subsequentlybe required to produce. The intervention required a treatment group to edit targetFSs into given paragraphs. These paragraphs were similar to those they werelater required to produce and from which the data were drawn. Data drawn frompretests established that there was no significant difference in the occurrence oftarget FSs use between the treatment and control groups. Data drawn from posttestswere used to determine whether there was any significant difference in theoccurrence of the target FSs between pre- and posttests for each group. Resultsfrom the treatment group indicate that the intervention appears to have been effectivein increasing learners’ utility with the target FSs.Les exercices d’intervention ont eu tendance à être limités à la production restreinteet contrôlée dans des études liées à l’acquisition de formules académiquesécrites en L2, alors que la mesure de l’emploi a été tirée d’une production plus libre(AlHassan & Wood, 2015; Jones & Haywood, 2004; Peters & Pauwels, 2015). Laprésente étude rend compte d’une intervention conçue de sorte à être moins contrôléeque les études précédentes et donc plus près de ce que les étudiants auraient àproduire par la suite. L’intervention exigeait qu’un groupe expérimental révise lesformules ciblées pour former des paragraphes. Ces paragraphes étaient similairesà ceux qu’ils devaient produire par la suite et à partir desquels les données étaientpuisées. Les données de pré-tests ont établi qu’il n’y avait aucune différence significativedans l’emploi de formules ciblées chez le groupe expérimental et chez legroupe témoin. Les données des post-tests ont déterminé s’il y avait des différencessignificatives dans l’emploi des formules ciblées entre le pré-test et le post-test pourles deux groupes. Les résultats du groupe expérimental indiquent que l’interventionsemble avoir augmenté l’emploi par les étudiants des formules ciblées.

I am honored to receive the Third JDR Award, and I am very grateful to the editorial committee members and staff of the Journal of Disaster Research (JDR). I also wish to express my gratitude to all the authors who contributed to the papers in three special issues entitled “Disaster and Big Data,” which were published in 2016, 2017, and 2018. I really enjoyed the opportunities I had in guest editing the 36 excellent papers in the special issues.

My approximately 30 publications in the JDR include the outcomes from the international joint research projects of SATREPS Indonesia, Peru, and Chile, so I would like to share the delight of receiving the JDR award with all the research members of the projects and thank them for their fruitful collaboration.

The Journal of Disaster Research all across the wide and comprehensive scope of its outstanding research has provided topical and valuable insights as well as significant implications for disaster reduction and management. I do hope I have contributed to making the JDR an excellent publication of valuable disaster research findings from around the world.
Special Issue on Disaster and Big Data Part 3
Authors: Koshimura Shunichi
Published: March 2018

The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster left behind many lessons to learn, and there have since been many new findings and insights that have led to suggestions made and implemented in disaster observation, sensing, simulation, and damage determination. The challenges for mitigating the damage from future catastrophic natural disasters, such as the Tokyo Metropolitan Earthquake or the Nankai Trough Earthquake and Tsunami, are in how we share our visions of the possible impacts, how we prepare to mitigate the losses and damages, and how we enhance society’s disaster resilience.

The huge amount of information obtained, called “disaster big data,” is related to the dynamic movement, as IoT, of a large number people, vehicles, and goods from inside and outside the affected areas. This has dramatically facilitated our understanding of how our society has responded to unprecedented catastrophes. The key question is how to utilize big data in establishing social systems that respond promptly, sensibly, and effectively to natural disasters, and in withstanding adversity with resilience.

Researchers with various types of expertise are working together under a collaborative project called JST CREST “Establishing the advanced disaster reduction management system by fusion of real-time disaster simulation and big data assimilation.” The project aims to identify possible earthquake and tsunami disaster scenarios that occur and progress in a chained or compound manner and to create new technologies to lead responses and disaster mitigation measures to help society to recover from disasters.

As we have published two previous special issues entitled “Disaster and Big Data” since 2016, this issue is our third. Included are 14 papers that aim to share the recent progress of the project as the sequel to Part 2, published in March 2017. As one of the guest editors of this issue, I would like to express our deep gratitude for the insightful comments and suggestions made by the reviewers and the members of the editorial committee. I do hope that this work will be utilized in disaster management efforts to mitigate the damage and losses in future catastrophic disasters.
An Analysis of Web Coverage on the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake Disaster

In this study, we analyzed big data consisting of news published on the web about the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake over the course of a month and compared it with earthquakes that have occurred in the past. Our findings are summarized as follows: 1) In the case of web news on the Kumamoto earthquake, the “media half-life” of the disaster, or the time it took for media coverage to decrease to half of its peak amount, was one week, which is roughly the same as that of the 2004 Niigata Chuetsu earthquake. 2) The scope of human support corresponded to the scope and coverage of human and material damage, and no municipalities deviated from this, which means that, remarkably, we did not see any disparities in news coverage or human support, as was the case with the Great East Japan Earthquake.
Seed Germination Inhibitors: Molecular and Phytochemical Aspects
Authors: Samajdar Saptarshi , Mukherjee Souvik , Das Partha Pratim
Published: March 2018

Two major stages of seed development are dormancy and germination which finally promotes the growth of a plant. Some internal and external factors such as hormonal, genetic, chromatin development and environmental factors which maintain the seed dormancy with passing time and other suitable factors, these dormancy promoters are gradually decreased causing release of dormancy and promoting germination by the mechanisms of ROS in plant signalling, cell elongation and reverse mobilization. But dormancy has some benefits in protecting the seed from extreme condition even after natural disaster as well as serving as food for predators in order to maintain balance of nature. So, dormancy can be inhibited by some phytochemical components like terpenoids, polyphenoliic compounds, flavonoids, alkaloids and glycosides by the mechanism of inhibiting water uptake system III and II, surface sterilization, reverse mobilization, cell elongation etc
KOREA SELATAN DAN PROVOKASI KOREA UTARA: TAKTIK PENGARUH DAN PERSUASI PADA MASA PEMERINTAHAN LEE MYUNG BAK
Authors: Sudirman Arfin
Published: March 2018

Korea Selatan memiliki berbagai kepentingan dan telah menetapkan tujuan-tujuan dalam kebijakan luar negerinya. Namun upaya pencapaian kepentingan dan tujuan tersebut, terutama berkenaan dengan stabilitas di Semenanjung, seringkali dihadapkan pada tantangan, Aksi-Aksi provokatif dari Korea Utara merupakan salah satu isu yang serius dan perilaku yang tidak diinginkan oleh Korea Selatan. Oleh karena itu Korea Selatan melakukan sejumlah kebijakan luar negeri dalam upayanya untuk mencegah aksi provokatif dari Korea Utara, yang dalam penelitian ini difokuskan pada periode tiga tahun pertama pemerintahan Lee Myung Bak tahun 2008 hingga 2010. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif deksriptif analitis, artikel ini mencoba untuk mengidentifikasi kebijakan luar negeri Korea Selatan dalam mencegah aksi provokasi dari Korea Utara. Artikel menunjukkan bahwa Korea Selatan menggunakan taktik pengaruh untuk mencegah provokasi Korea Utara dan memanfaatkan kapabilitas ekonominya untuk mendukung kebijakan tersebut. Adapun penggunaan taktik pengaruh oleh Korea Selatan tersebut bergantung pada kasus dan tingkat aksi provokasi Korea Utara, mulai dari penggunaan taktik persuasi hingga penalti hukuman non-kekerasan, termasuk di dalamnya penggunaan taktik kekerasan secara terbatas ketika aksi provokasi tidak dapat dihentikan dan cegah dengan taktik lain.
PENETRASI NEGARA TERHADAP KELEMBAGAAN ADAT NAGARI PARIANGAN DI ERA OTONOMI DAERAH
Authors: Hidayat Yayan
Published: March 2018

Tulisan ini menjelaskan tentang pola dan dinamika hubungan negara terhadap lembaga adat Nagari Pariangan dalam otonomi daerah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana negara memainkan pola penetrasi melalui institusi formal, hukum, kebijakan publik, dan proses politik dalam hubungan negara dengan Nagari. Kami menemukan kondisi tersebut karena, pertama, kepentingan negara untuk secara intensif mengendalikan sumber daya alam dan ekonomi di Nagari. Kedua, kepentingan pemerintah daerah untuk menciptakan stablisasi politik sebagai kebutuhan inti pembangunan ekonomi di era otonomi. Penetrasi dan transformasi Nagari berdampak pada penyederhanaan Nagari menjadi birokrasi modern sehingga sesuai dengan kepentingan negara. Pendekatan historical institusionalisme digunakan sebagai alat analisis untuk mengurai pola penetrasi negara yang terjadi pada Nagari. Otonomi daerah tidak membuat Nagari mandiri sebagai pemerintahan sendiri, mereka masih menghadapi intervensi dari pemerintah pusat. Itulah salah satu alasan kuat mengapa penelitian ini dilakukan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bagaimana pengakuan Nagari sebagai pemerintahan terendah sebenarnya dalam situasi yang dilematis, dimana Nagari harus menerima intervensi pemerintah pusat yang menempatkannya sebagai bagian dari birokrasi, bukan kemudian mengakui Nagari sebagai pemerintahan adat.
