Mystical sound of Selonding from eastern Balinese ancient village
Authors: Nyoman Sabda
Published: October 2023

Selonding is a part of Gamelan Tua, A rarely known musical instrument out of many Balinese gamelan.  This sacred instrument can be found in several old villages in Karangasem regency, such as Bugbug, Prasi, Seraya, Tenganan Pegringsingan, Timbrah, Asak, Bungaya, Ngis, Bebandem, Besakih, Selat. However, some studies claimed that Gamelan Selonding today could only be seen in the Tenganan Pegringsingan and Bongaya villages. Selonding is the only type of iron-blade Balinese Gamelan. Low steel content on the iron ingot produces a softer sound texture than bronze gamelan, broadly used. The soft and rhythmic audio from Gamelan Selonding, according to the study, was said to reduce the elder’s anxiety level from moderate to mild. Despite its high cultural value and vital for the Bali Aga ritual, low exposure and promotion about Selonding Gamelan were reasons for the low interest and concern of young people in Bali for their own culture. To promote Selonding among Balinese, various studies proposed many mediums to attract public interest, including the documentary film production about the ancient instruments, and introduce an android-based application to learn playing Gamelan Selonding from users’ smartphones. Furthermore, today, Sekaa Selonding exists not only on Karangasem Regency but also in other parts of Bali since many Balinese youngsters outside Karangasem are interested in learning Gamelan Selonding.

The method of storytelling in the form of painting developed rapidly during the reign of ancient Bali, especially by the people who lived in the Kamasan village of ??Klungkung. The steps in determining the layout of the image, the drawing process, color making, and the coloring process of the Kamasan puppet painting are still used traditionally. The Indonesia Education and Culture ministry announced the submission of the Wayang Kamasan painting to UNESCO in early February 2022. This submission is a re-submission after the Kamasan puppet painting was proposed as an Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2018 by the Indonesian Government.

The purpose of the protection in this convention is for art preservation, especially, for future generations. It means that anyone can use it, not just the group to whom the recognition of ownership of the intangible cultural heritage is given.

On the other hand, the Government has a strategic plan to develop Wellness tourism as a new activity option when tourists visit Bali.

Suwung Landfill Closure as Acceleration to Improve Bali Waste Management System
Authors: Werdiyasa Ida Bagus Komang Surya
Published: October 2023

The Suwung landfill, located in Suwung Kauh Village, Denpasar City, has been gradually terminated since November 2022. Official closure began in March 2023 by the Bali Provincial Forestry and Environment Service and continued with the operation of three new integrated waste management sites in Denpasar City. Governor Koster argued that the previous policy related to the Suwung landfill was tactless. Its placement in Denpasar city discouraged the strategic area in Bali as well as the capital city of Bali. The growth of Bali's economy by 61% in 2019 was mostly due to the expansion of hotels, restaurants, and other tourism-related enterprises. It led to a rising figure of visitors, a movement of laborers, and increased population density on the island's business corridors. In contrast, Bali's dense population harms the ecosystem, essential to the island's reputation as a tourist destination. According to recent conversations, the trash management system will be accommodated at three Integrated Waste Treatment Sites (TPST) in Denpasar City beginning in June 2023. The TPS3R will no longer be built with the TPST, which is expected to be fully operational in June 2023.
Social and Moral Guidance of Balinese Life in Kakawin Niti Sastra
Authors: Setiawan Ida Bagus Putra
Published: October 2023

Estimated to be written in 350 B.C. In the Magada Kingdom of India, Niti Sastra is one of the knowledge references that gives readers an overview of leadership and management. In Bali, the script is better known as Kakawin Niti Sastra. Kakawin is poetry written in the Kawi language, an extinct old Javanese language. Niti Sastra is the Sanskrit term for "science of morality," and it refers to the study of how to uphold Dharma or morality in one's conduct and in all of life. Politics and leadership are generally discussed in academia, as per Niti Sastra. After that, it gives a general summary of how the teachings of the Niti Sastra relate to those of other Hindu texts and goes on to describe the Ramayana and Mahabharata Epics in more detail. However, a closer look reveals that Niti Sastra also further documents and outlines social communication processes. Ideas given in the Kekawin Niti Sastra, particularly those pertaining to the arena of social life, have universal values, as evidenced by the presentation of several examples, even in a nation that no longer has a feudal administration system and its socioeconomic conditions. These principles, which are founded on Hinduism, still hold true. Thus, the Niti Sastra Book might be a good resource for academics looking to gain a deeper understanding, particularly about the application of moral principles to daily life.

Tomando en consideración la importancia del emprendimiento como salida laboral en la etapa universitaria, la influencia de la Teoría del Comportamiento Planeado en la intención emprendedora de los estudiantes universitarios. En un contexto global de creciente interés en el emprendimiento y la innovación, comprender los factores que influyen en la intención de los jóvenes universitarios de emprender es de vital importancia. El estudio se fundamenta en la Teoría del Comportamiento Planeado, que sugiere que la intención de llevar a cabo un comportamiento está determinada por la actitud hacia dicho comportamiento, las normas subjetivas percibidas y la percepción de control sobre el comportamiento. A través de una metodología que incluye encuestas y análisis estadísticos, se examina cómo estos factores psicológicos influyen en la intención emprendedora de los estudiantes universitarios. Los resultados revelan patrones significativos en la relación entre la actitud hacia el emprendimiento, las normas subjetivas y la percepción de control, y la intención de emprender entre los estudiantes universitarios. Se constata que una actitud positiva hacia el emprendimiento, la percepción de que las personas importantes en su entorno favorecen el emprendimiento y la confianza en la propia capacidad para emprender son factores que aumentan la intención emprendedora. Además, el estudio analiza cómo variables como el género, la formación académica y la exposición previa al emprendimiento pueden moderar estas relaciones.

Coal is one of the most important mineral which is used as a fuel for generating energy in India, with the increasing urbanization and industrialization, need for more fuel is increasing resulting in extraction of coal in more and more amount, therefore in order to fulfil the demand, mining activities has increased a lot with time, besides the extraction of coal, many other minerals are also being extracted for various purposes as well. Increase in such mining activities are leading to adverse change in air, water and land quality, changes in land use land cover pattern and variation in surface temperature, these continuous changes are therefore, im-portant to be studied in order to assess its impact on the environment for suture sustainability and better management of available resources. The current study has been done for the Korba district with special attention towards the mining areas as major area of the district after agricultural and cultivation land is occupied with mining area and related industries which is on spreading at higher pace since last many years, due to which variation in surface temperature and changes in land use pattern can be seen in its vicinity which is increasing with the time. According to the shifting patterns of land use and land cover, both urban regions and coal mine areas have grown by roughly 35 and 12%, respectively. In the central area of Korba district, the number of mines has risen, and the mining area has expanded over the last thirty years. Through a temporal analysis of the data, the study found that between 2000 and 2021, both the mining zones and adjacent urban areas witnessed increased temperatures.

Informal waste workers (IWWs) play a vital role in recovery, disposal and recycling of waste materials. This study examines the current solid waste management practices in Nigeria and Nepal, with a particular focus on the roles of IWWs in effective waste management. Through comprehensive secondary literature reviews, including journal databases, books, reports, and websites, this study highlights the inadequate solid waste management systems in both countries, resulting in limited reuse of generated waste. Common challenges related to waste collection, transportation, sorting, processing, and final disposal were identified in Nigeria and Nepal. The important role played by IWWs in waste management activities, such as collection, sorting, recovery, and recycling, is evident. However, the lack of appropriate legislation addressing their involvement serves as a major hindrance. This study also presents key findings on Nigeria’s waste generation, recycling rates, and reliance on the informal sector, as well as Nepal’s municipal solid waste composition, recycling rates, and the significant role played by informal waste workers. The study emphasizes the need for inclusive waste management policies, strengthened waste collection and segregation systems, investment in recycling infrastructure, and enhanced collaboration among government agencies, waste management companies, and informal waste workers. Enforcing existing legislation and providing support to IWWs, including improved working conditions and social protection measures, are essential steps toward improving waste management practices. The study concludes by highlighting the importance of research, innovation, and international cooperation in developing sustainable waste management solutions for Nigeria and Nepal.
