Authors: Yusuf Maimun , Zain Arifin , Fuadi Maimun
Published: December 2018

Di dalam al-Qur`an ditemukan banyak ayat yang memerintahkan kewajiban melaksanakan dakwah. Dari sejumlah ayat tersebut, perintah dakwah adakalanya menggunakan kata yang berbeda-beda, seperti tabligh, nashihat, tarbiyah, tabsyir, tanzhir dan kata-kata lain yang perlu diteliti dan diidentifikasi kriterianya secara seksama. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menemukan kriteria ayat-ayat al-Qur`an yang dapat dikategorikan sebagai ayat-ayat dakwah, dan bentuk kata-kata yang digunakan al-Qurâ€™an yang semakna dengan makna dakwah. Tulisan ini tergolong pada penelitian kepustakaan dengan pendekatan analisis kualitatif. Sumber data primernya kitab suci al-Qur`an, tepatnya ayat-ayat yang berkenaan dengan perintah dakwah, serta bahan-bahan tertulis lainnya terkait metode tafsir al-Qurâ€™an, seperti metode tafsir maudhuâ€™i. Teknik analisis datanya dilakukan melalui metode content analisis. Berdasarkan hasil kajian ditemukan, bahwa terdapat beragam bentuk kata teknis yang diperkenalkan al-Qurâ€™an yang semakna dengan makna dakwah. Beragamnya kata yang semakna dengan makna dakwah dapat dipahami bahwa al-Qur`an memiliki vocabulary yang demikian kaya sehingga penggunaan katanya lebih beragam. Selain itu, di dalam implementasinya, dakwah dapat dilihat dari multi sudut pandang sehingga harus menggunakan kata-kata yang lebih sesuai dengan kondisi manusia yang dihadapi. Di antara beberapa kriteria atau karakteristik khusus yang membedakan ayat-ayat dakwah dengan kelompok ayat lainnya adalah: ayat-ayat dakwah memuat norma dasar yang bersifat global; mengandung unsur perintah (suruhan) yang jelas (sharih al-amr) dan larangan (sharih al-nahy); keterhubungan ayat-ayat dakwah dengan masalah akidah, akhlak, muamalah, termasuk waâ€™ad dan waâ€™id; dan ayat-ayat dakwah di dalam al-Qurâ€™an juga menggunakan bahasa yang luas, luwes, tegas dan akurat.

Análisis de las medidas de asistencia a víctimas de trata de personas en Colombia en perspectiva de derechos humanos
Authors: Reyes Jaimes Johana , Vargas Parra Jakeline , Aceros Juan C.
Published: December 2018

La trata de personas se configura como una grave vulneración a los derechos humanos, lo cual obliga a los Estados a garantizar la asistencia y protección integral fundamentada en la reparación de quienes han sufrido dichas vulneraciones. A partir de la metodología de revisión documental, este artículo analiza la normativa aplicable a la asistencia y protección a víctimas de trata de personas en Colombia a la luz de los principios y directrices recomendados sobre derechos humanos y trata de personas. Los principios corresponden a la no detención o enjuiciamiento por delitos relacionados con la condición de víctima de trata; protección y apoyo a víctimas; asistencia jurídica, protección y permisos de residencia temporales; derechos y necesidades de los niños; y regreso voluntario y en condiciones de seguridad. Los principales resultados evidencian que se han hecho importantes esfuerzos para incluir estas perspectivas de derechos humanos en la normativa colombiana. Sin embargo, solo se ha incluido como una directriz teórica en la mayoría de los documentos de trata de personas del país, sin traducirse en acciones concretas que favorezcan la recuperación de las víctimas.
Energia e mudanças climáticas: impactos socioambientais das hidrelétricas e iversificação da matriz energética brasileira
Authors: Galbiatti Silveira Paula
Published: December 2018

O problema proposto para o presente trabalho é verificar se há possibilidade de diversificação da matriz energética brasileira, a partir da escolha por fontes renováveis, reduzindo os impactos socioambientais das fontes tradicionais e incentivando o consumo consciente. Assim, objetivase analisar os problemas atuais e os impactos socioambientais da matriz energética brasileira e algumas alternativas para diversificação. A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, em autores nacionais e estrangeiros, bem como estudos técnicos e de outras áreas do conhecimento além da jurídica, em vista do caráter transdisciplinar do tema. Os resultados do artigo entendem a matriz energética brasileira como insustentável e que é necessário que os tomadores de decisão e a sociedade realizem uma transição energética para fontes alternativas renováveis, bem como políticas públicas de diminuição do consumo. Não deve haver escolha por uma fonte única, mas sim realização de estudos ambientais para determinar os impactos das renováveis e avaliação de seus benefícios e malefícios.

Authors: Pino Anderson , Uribe Jorge M. , Jiménez Diana M. Jiménez
Published: December 2018

El objetivo en este artículo es estudiar e identificar la relevancia de los inversioni­stas institucionales en el mercado de acciones colombiano, usando, para ello, la metodología de las redes, la teoría de los grafos y las matrices de propiedad con información de 108 empresas en el año 2012. Los resultados evidencian un alto grado de concentración de los inversionistas en el mercado accionario; en particular, los fondos de pensiones juegan un papel predominante en el mercado de valores colom­biano. Lo anterior es especialmente relevante para un mercado accionario pequeño y poco líquido como el de Colombia, en el cual los inversionistas institucionales juegan como proveedores de liquidez o como instituciones de impacto sistémico, durante períodos de estrés financiero.
DIMENSIONES DEL SUBDESARROLLO ECONÓMICO EN COLOMBIA, 1980-2015
Authors: Pérez Bello Sandra Milena , Sanabria Gómez Segundo Abrahán
Published: December 2018

El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar las condiciones de subdesarrollo que presenta la economía colombiana en el período 1980-2015. Se asume como marco teórico del subdesarrollo el enfoque estructuralista latinoamericano, estudiando especialmente el concepto de heterogeneidad estructural y la incorporación del progreso tecnológico. En consecuencia, se examina la política agropecuaria en Colombia, frente a la in­corporación del progreso tecnológico y la dinámica estructural. Para hallar evidencia empírica se construyen índices de crecimiento y tasas de participación, y se estiman coeficientes de correlación, cuyos resultados permiten concluir que la economía colombiana presenta condiciones de subdesarrollo en el período de observación.

Authors: Manrique Joya Gloria , Ramírez Maricela , Santos Varón Félix
Published: December 2018

El objetivo de este artículo es evaluar el efecto de los microcréditos rurales sobre la pobreza, a través de cambios en la dimensión económica: ingresos, activos fijos y activos productivos. Se usa el método de emparejamiento (Propensity Score Matching) entre beneficiarios y no beneficiarios de los microcréditos del Banco Agrario en los municipios de Tunja y Samacá (Boyacá, Colombia). Los resultados dan cuenta de impactos positivos que sugieren que el microcrédito ha contribuido a la acumulación de capital, lo que podría contribuir a que, en el mediano o largo plazo, se mejoren las condiciones de vida y se reduzcan los niveles de pobreza del grupo de beneficiarios de los microcréditos.
APERTURA COMERCIAL Y DESIGUALDAD SALARIAL EN MÉXICO: UN ANÁLISIS REGIONAL PARA LOS AÑOS 1992 Y 2014
Authors: Castro Lugo David , Aguilera Fernández Albany
Published: December 2018

Este artículo evalúa el efecto generado por el proceso de apertura comercial sobre la estructura del mercado de trabajo y la desigualdad salarial en México, para los años 1992
y 2014, utilizando información de la Encuesta Nacional de Empleo Urbano y Encuesta Nacional de Ocupación y Empleo. El ejercicio de microsimulación a escala regional indica que en ausencia de apertura comercial, la disparidad sería inferior a lo observado en
2014. La estructura de empleo por tipo de calificación y la remuneración fueron las principales fuentes de cambio en la desigualdad laboral. En México, contrario a las predicciones teóricas, la apertura de la economía al comercio exterior no contribuyó a reducir las disparidades a largo plazo, aunque en 2014 la región mexicana con mayor exposición al comercio exterior presenta menor desigualdad (0.357) en relación con la menos expuesta (0.393), diferencia que es superior a la observada en 1992 (0.397 vs 0.410).

A Política Industrial e Tecnológica e de Comércio Exterior (PITCE) de 2003 marca a retomada da política industrial depois de quase 30 anos da sua ausência. A partir dela, outras políticas deram continuidade a busca para alavancar a produção industrial inovativa no país. Entre as diversas estratégias, uma delas foi a construção de uma rede nacional de laboratório para atender os setoresindustriais em busca de soluções inovativa. Trata-se do Instituto Senai de Inovação (ISI). Este artigo analisa o comportamento dos Institutos de Pesquisas (IPs) a partir das características e ações do ISI Eletroquímica localizado em Curitiba, Paraná. Como metodologia, observou-se primeiramente o comportamento dos IPs com base nos dados do Diretório de Grupos de Pesquisas do CNPq. Na sequência, investigou-se a matriz de decisão do ISI Eletroquímica. Como resultado, nota-se mais do que pesquisa inovativa ou inédita o importante é que a relação IP/empresa seja fundamentalmente rentável para o IP. Em outros termos, o foco na sustentabilidade financeirapode levar os institutos em geral a estar mais orientados pela demanda rentável e muito pouco no desenvolvimento de inovações com graus de ineditismo aplicado.

Inkludering av minoritetsspråklige elever i kroppsøvingsfaget –
utfordringer og strategier med utgangspunkt i et lærerperspektiv
Authors: Lagestad Pål , Mestad Ingvild
Published: December 2018

Kunnskap om hvilke utfordringer kroppsøvingslærere opplever ved
inkludering av minoritetsspråklige elever i kroppsøving, samt hvilke
strategier erfarne kroppsøvingslærere benytter for en best mulig
inkludering, er viktig kunnskap for alle kroppsøvingslærere og skoleledere.
Ved hjelp av intervjuer med seks utvalgte kroppsøvingslærere fra barne- og
ungdomsskoler forsøkte vi å avdekke slik kunnskap. Resultatene viser at
språkproblematikk og dusjeproblematikk synes å utgjøre de største
utfordringene. Når det gjelder utfordringen knyttet til språkproblematikk,
viser lærerne til en unnvikelsesstrategi (unngå aktiviteter som har
komplekse regler), en oversettelsesstrategi (læreren snakker engelsk eller
medelever tolker) samt en tale- og visestrategi (viser samtidig som det
forklares). Når det gjelder utfordringen knyttet til dusjeproblematikk,
peker lærerne på viktigheten av en god dialog med hjemmet som særlig viktig
for å forebygge dusjeproblematikk, men også betydningen av informasjon til
både elever og foreldre om viktigheten av at elevene dusjer, blir fremhevet.
Strategier om å la de minoritetsspråklige elevene få benytte
lærergarderoben, eller dusje alene før eller etter de andre, fremheves også
som viktig.
Danske billeder af Rusland i 2010'erne
Authors: Hansen Flemming Splidsboel
Published: December 2018

Danish images of Russia in the 2010sThis article surveys how the editorial columns of five leading Danish newspapers treat Russia in the 2010s, building on an earlier study which focused on the first decade of the 2000s (Hansen 2010). The present study finds that the overall negative trajectory associated with Russia has continued, even grown more pronounced. In response, a minority position has developed on the fringes of political life in Denmark, holding that Russia is being demonized and that media coverage is too negative and essentially one-sided. The Danish newspapers surveyed focus on what is seen as an increasingly aggressive Russia violating borders and other established norms, and threatening its neighbours. The editorials reflect the gradual paradigm shift in views of Russia. They now speak openly of the need for Denmark to protect itself and its allies militarily against possible Russian aggression and to prevent Russia from wielding more power through its energy supplies to Europe, including supplies that traverse Danish territorial waters. Other topics in focus include Russia’s invasion and subsequent annexation of Crimea, its involvement in the war in Eastern Ukraine as well as its military campaign in Syria.

Partnership of the USA and African Countries in the Fight Against Terrorism under the Administrations of J.W. Bush and Barack Obama
Authors: Magomedov D. S.
Published: December 2018

The article examines the place of African countries in the US counter-terrorism strategy under the administrations of G.W. Bush and B. Obama. It is alleged that at the turn of the 2010-s the significance of this trend has increased due to the intensification of Islamists in the countries of West Africa and the new round of the civil war in Somalia. This led to an intensification of the military presence and tightened cooperation with the allies, on which the Americans also sought to entrust the main struggle against the radicals. There are several directions of counterterrorism policy: the provision of technical assistance to partner countries for the development of special forces; the building of subregional mechanisms for coordinating counter-terrorism actions; intensification of cooperation in the financial sphere; carrying out separate military operations, mainly by UAV forces. In the end, itwas the African direction that turned out to be the most successful example of Obama’s “leading from the behind” strategy. Despite the fact that under the influence of the Arab Spring and the rise of the ISIS in the Middle East in 2011-2014, there was an escalation of violence in the region, in general, the main goals of combating Islamist terrorism by the end of 2016 were achieved by the USA. In Somalia, Nigeria and Libya, Americans relied on the local forces concerned, restricting participation by coordinating allies, providing intelligence and striking individual blows. The French intervention in Mali in 2013 enabled the Europeans to shift the main burden of fighting local Islamists. In addition, Egypt, receiving abundant military assistance from the United States, did not allow the expansion of the ISIS’s zone of operations in the Sinai Peninsula, but it was not possible to fully cope with the small local branch due to the instability of relations with local tribes that remain outside the control of the central government.
Strategic Synergy between Egypt “Vision 2030” and China’s “Belt and Road” Initiative
Authors: Chen J.
Published: December 2018

China and Egypt have established diplomatic relations for 62 years. In 2013, Chinese President Xi Jinping put forward the “Belt and Road” Initiative (BRI) and welcomed countries along the routes to take part in co-operations in the framework of the BRI. And in 2014, Egyptian new-elected President Sisi visited China and both sides improved the bilateral relationship to the comprehensive strategic partnership. Then in 2016, Egyptian President Sisi launched a new national development strategy named “Egypt Vision 2030”. Therefore China and Egypt want to look for suitable areas to cooperate according to these two plans. In this case, this paper analyzes the implementation of the strategic synergy between the BRI and “Egypt Vision 2030”, including the introduction to the “Egypt Vision 2030”, the mutual cognition of the developmental strategies of China and Egypt, the outcomes achieved and the risks faced by the synergy between the strategies of these two countries, and then considers that both China and Egypt welcome and support each other’s developmental strategy. At present, the synergy between the two countries’ strategies has made significant achievements under the frequent promotion of top leaders, but there are also political, economic and security risks in the process of strategic synergy, which still hinder thesynergy.
The Strategic Value of Africa as the New Market and Korea’s Economic Cooperation with Africa
Authors: Park Y. , Kim Y.
Published: December 2018

Africa is rising as the new market in the 21st century. Before the 2000s Africa was regarded as a “continent of crisis” plastered with poverty and war. However, it is now being spotlighted as the ‘last new market on Earth’ due to its development potential. Its value is being reevaluated because it presents new opportunities as an unexplored market. It present opportunities across a wide range of industries: from consumer goods to manufacturing, agriculture, natural resource development and infrastructure. Korea has been ignorant of Africa’s development potential till the mid-2000s but is now looking at Africa as a new opportunity market or cooperation partner. It is taking diverse measures such as through state visits and increase of development aid to strengthen cooperation. Korea perceives Africa’s potential from a future oriented perspective and is expanding economic cooperation from a long-term standpoint. Consequently, Korea is working towards establishing a future oriented partnership with Africa based on mutual trust by identifying core partnership projects that meet the needs of Africa. Korea seeks substantiality of its economic partnership with Africa by identifying priority countries of cooperation.
Chinese Infrastructure Projects in Sub-Saharan Africa: Credit Financing
Authors: Gemueva K. A.
Published: December 2018

Chinese companies are actively involved in building infrastructure facilities in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), with a substantial part of the projects funded by Chinese banks. According to some estimates, more than 60% of all Chinese loans granted to the SSA countries from 2000 to 2015 were provided to this end. Vast  majority of the projects are carried out by the state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Their main advantages are the opportunity to obtain concessionary financing for the project, a special Chinese model of financing, a government support of activities serving the national strategic goals and the expertise gained from the implementation of similar projects in China. Thiscombination of Chinese banks and companies is an effective tool for promoting China’s strategic economic and political interests. Meanwhile, it gives the SSA countries a unique opportunity to implement large-scale infrastructure projects necessary for further socio-economic development. China’s participation in infrastructure projects in the SSA countries began in the 1960s, and there has been a marked increase in the scale and number of projects since the first decade of the 21st century. In response to the launching “One belt, one road” initiative, the focus is shifting towards cross-border and transregional mega-projects. Chinese financing model profile described in the article comprise “tied” loans, no-political-strings-attached approach (except for the recognition of the “one China” principle), combined schemes to reduce the risk of non-repayment of loans and non-transparent transaction terms. The key areas of infrastructure development by Chinese companies in the SSA countries, i.e. energy, transport and telecommunications, are considered in detail. Particular attention is paid to the largest projects in each area. The problems arising during the implementation of Chinese infrastructure projects, as well as features of the project implementation environment on the African continent are analyzed.
The Role of the Electricity Sector in the Economic Development of Egypt
Authors: Volkov S. N. , Sharova A. Yu.
Published: December 2018

Egypt is the most dynamically developing country in the region of North Africa. In the nearest future, it is expected to turn into the largest economy of Africa in terms of GDP measured by PPP and to overtake Nigeria. The leadership of Egypt considers accelerated development of the national energy complex, including electricity sector, as one of the main drivers of the economic growth. It will be based on the latest achievements of scientific and technological progress and new forms of attracting foreign direct investment, mainly concession agreements in the format of public-private partnership. This allows medium-sized companies to participate in the process of transnationalization that becomes one of its distinguishing features on the modern stage. The master plan for the development of the electric power industry until 2035 envisages the use of various traditional and renewable energy sources. It is planned to create a balanced electric power generation structure, overcoming the current bank tilt towards gasfired thermal power plants. It is expected that in the 2034/35 financial year coalfired power plants in Egypt will account for 34.0% of electricity generation, 19.4% for solar power plants (11.8% for photovoltaics and 7.6% for concentrated solar power), 19.4% for gas-fired power plants, 14.6% for wind power plants, 8.8% for nuclear power plants, 3.2% for hydro power plants and almost 0.6% for thermal power plants working on fuel oil. The objective of electricity sector’s development is the creation of an advanced branch of the economy, in which renewable energy sources and energy-efficient technologies play an important role, ensuring uninterrupted and reliable energy supply, as well as turning the country into a regional energy hub. All this will contribute not only to overcoming the crisis phenomena in the industry itself, observed since 2010s, but also to further change in the nature of the inclusion of the Egyptian economy in the system of the international division of labor, which has undergone significant changes over the past decades.

Rhizobium is a group of soil bacteria that is able to fixing nitrogens from the atmosphere throught symbiosis mechanism with legumes. It has an important role as a provider of nutrients the plants. Regarding of the fact, this research was aimed to isolate the Rhizobium from root nodules of legumes in peatland areas of State Islamic University of Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau. The Rhizobium isolation was conducted in Laboratory of Pathology Entomology and Microbiology of Faculty of Agriculture and Animal Science. The root nodules of legumes were selected and sterilized using 10 % disinfectant solution for 2 minutes before isolated. The Rhizobium colonies were isolated on Nutrient Agar (NA) media. The results showed there were nine isolates of Rhizobium to be isolated. Macroscopic of the colonies showed there were eight isolates of translucen (white-milk) and one isolate was yellowish-white, with spherical on shape, flat edges, convex surface, and sticky textures of colonies. Microscopic of cells were gram-negative bacill with varies of size i.e. 0.42 ± 0.19 µm to 1.075 ± 0.425 µm of length and 0.25 ± 0.03 µm to 0.6 ± 0.15 µm in width. The Rhizobium isolates of Clitoria laurifolia, Acacia sp., and Albizia sp. were three fastest in growth.

El área metropolitana de Cúcuta se beneficia de los depósitos de arcillas que son encontrados especialmente en las formaciones geológicas del grupo Guayabo, debido a las excelentes características físico cerámicas que muestran el material. Las riquezas del subsuelo son significativamente deseadas, lo cual se evidencia en la cantidad de explotaciones mineras que hay en el territorio, siendo Cúcuta el municipio de mayor actividad extractiva, contando con abundantes reservas, contrario a Puerto Santander, municipio en el cual no existe actividad minera de arcilla ni manufacturas relacionadas a ella. La industria desarrollada a partir esta materia prima ha permitido un crecimiento económico en la región, situación que se refleja en la vinculación de 1.737 personas, 23 establecimientos creados y una producción bruta de más de 344 mil millones de pesos en el año 2015, siendo el principal grupo industrial de la zona metropolitana.

Published: December 2018

Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the major annual crop in the Southern Great Plains of the USA grown as dual-purpose (forage and grain) crop. Wheat breeding has focused on maximizing grain yield and tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses. Because of a lack of clearly defined selection criteria for breeding forage-type wheat, breeders usually rely on very laborious means to measure forage quantity and quality or they use imprecise visual estimates to quantify forage production. In a series of experiments conducted at Vernon, TX during 2003-2005, we determined correlations between selected morphological traits and the early-season forage DM yield in a range of wheat breeding lines and commercial cultivars evaluated by the Wheat Breeding Program of Texas A&M AgriLife Research. Early-season forage DM yield was highly correlated with tiller number, leaf length and width, and inversely correlated with specific leaf weight. Environmental variables modified the responses. A number of wheat breeding lines and cultivars had combined three out of the four evaluated morphological traits, including Abilene Ag Exp., Cutter, Fannin, HG-9, Duster, TAM 110, TX01M5009, TX01V6016, TX03M1179, TX04M410009, and Weather master 135. These cultivars/breeding lines have been recommended for dual-purpose use; thus, the morphological traits evaluated in our studies were desirable for selection of wheat with improved forage productivity.
Revisiting the Perception of Silence in Linguistics
Authors: AL-Jahdhami Said
Published: December 2018

Silence in human communication has not only been marginalized as a means of communication, but has often been considered as void of serving any communicative role. It is presumptuously viewed as the mere opposite of communication occurring at the far end of the communicative continuum.  Investigating the role of silence in human communication from a linguistic point of view, this paper, hence, attempts to show that such conventional view of silence as a non-communicative tool should be reconsidered. It argues that both silence and speech make an integral part of human communication as they coincide in any delivered message. The context in which they serve a communicative function plays a major role in their use, the choice of one over the other, as well as the interpretation of any delivered message. The study also argues that speech and silence do not always fall into the traditional schematic classification of vocal versus non-vocal. While silence can be vocal in some occasions in human communication, speech can be expressed non-vocally too.

The purpose of this study was to investigate and identify the problems faced by female head teachers in the management of primary schools in Marange area in Mutare district in Manicaland province. The mixed method research design was used which incorporate both qualitative and quantitative methods. The target population in this study were the female head teachers in Marange area in Mutare district, teachers and the Education Officer of Marange area in Mutare district. Marange area in Mutare district has 52 primary schools, of which seven (7) are headed by female head teachers. The researchers used questionnaires and interview guides for collection of data. The interview was targeted for female head teachers and Education Inspector of Marange area in Mutare district. The data that was obtained was both quantitative and qualitative. Majority of the teachers (75.0%) said that their perception towards their head teachers was good. Majority of the teachers (87.5%) noted that psychological traits do not bar the head teachers from performing school duties effectively. All of the teachers noted that the students accorded male and female teachers at the same level of respect. The following conclusions were drawn. Female head teachers are positively viewed by their teachers and students and are approachable since they encourage them to work to attain their goals in schools. Cultural and social barriers do interfere with the management of school affairs. Half (50%) of the head teachers said there was no role conflict between domestic and professional roles while 50% of head teachers felt that there was conflict. On the psychological factors influencing the head teachers’ performance, 87.5% of the teachers said that biological traits did not bar the head teachers from performing school duties. This was because they had a teaching experience, were assertive and aggressive. The study recommended that since female heads were positively viewed strongly by teachers, there is need for them to be given more posts of leadership in primary schools. Thus female head teachers are effective hence, they are able to achieve the goals of their respective institutions. Although cultural and social barriers may interfere with the management of school affairs, there is need for female heads to be encouraged to achieve leadership positions since they can manage the roles of leaders through mentorship.
PERBANDINGAN RAGAM HIAS KERETA KYAI GARUDA KENCANA DAN GARUDA YAKSA
Authors: Wibowo Hari
Published: December 2018

Carriage is a material manifestation from the highest social structure in the Javanese culture, the kraton. But, studies on this subject are still considered as scarce and having narrow contexts. These two considerations have led this research to adopt not only Javanese, but also European culture paradigm. Using those paradigms, we compared royal carriages ornaments of Kraton Kasunanan Surakarta (named Garuda Kencana) and Kasultanan Yogyakarta (Garuda Yaksa). This study aims to uncover ornaments differences or similarities, how those ornaments symbolized the status of kraton, and how they relate to the social culture at that time. The method being use was qualitative by inductive reasoning. Data were compared and interpreted with combining field and literature data. This research concludes that those carriages are using style and symbolization concept of European ornament. Those similarities are highlighting the social realities that at 19th Century Java, European Dutch culture were dominant among the elites. Kereta adalah salah satu manifestasi bendawi dari struktur sosial tertinggi di kebudayaan Jawa, kraton. Sayangnya, penelitian atas artefak ini masih sedikit dan beberapa penelitian sebelumnya pun konteksnya tidak begitu luas. Dilatari oleh penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya, penelitian ini mempertimbangkan tidak hanya budaya Jawa, namun juga budaya Eropa. Konteks artefak yang lebih luas dengan dua sudut pandang itu kemudian digunakan untuk membandingkan ragam hias antara kereta-kereta kebesaran Kraton Kasunanan Surakarta dan Kraton Kasultanan Yogyakarta. Dua kereta yang diambil sebagai bahan perbandingan adalah kereta kebesaran di kedua kraton, yaitu Garuda Kencana dan Garuda Yaksa. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui adakah perbedaan atau persamaan ragam hias, bagaimana penyimbolan status kerajaan melalui ragam hias itu, dan bagaimanakah pula hubungannya dengan konteks sosial budaya pada masa tersebut. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif dengan penalaran induktif. Hasil analisis diinterpretasikan dengan menggabungkan data primer dari observasi langsung dengan data sekunder studi pustaka. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kedua kereta tersebut menggunakan gaya ragam hias dan konsep penyimbolan kerajaan pada budaya Eropa. Persamaan tersebut mengungkapkan realita bahwa budaya Eropa Belanda pada abad ke-19 dominan di antara para elit Jawa.
