``Who Says We Shall Not'': Revealing Artistic and Cultural Resilience in Times of a Global Pandemic
Authors: Nortey Samuel
Published: August 2023

Ama Ata Aidoo famously stated, “Who says we shall not survive among these turbines?” (c 1964 – 1965). This paper looks at revealing artistic and cultural resilience in times of global pandemics. In what ways could our much-needed return to indigenous ways of social, cultural and ecological engagement with the environment initiate sustainable practices? In this paper, I focus on a diversity of contemporary art concerns, allied practices that anticipate emergent formats, media, transformative futures, and translation configurations. I make recourse to collaborations that bring resilience, such as Gudskul ( Jakarta) and blaxTARLINES KUMASI. Through a critical reading of the innovative approaches to cultural resilience in art, this study is built on the lessons we can garner from the sort of resilience that characterizes such audacious projects embarked on by extremophile collectives such as blaxTARLINES and Gudskul. A model is developed as a guide to acquainting ourselves with strategies that would provoke us to a more responsible practice and existence. Art can be more resilient and reach contested spaces if we think of synergies and inclusivity.

A Study of the Current Position of Traditional Chinese Hanging Lanterns Among Young Chinese
Authors: Ming Liew Yek , Mohd Nasseri Edina , Husain Abdul Halim
Published: August 2023

Traditional Chinese lanterns were invented during the Eastern Han Dynasty and were originally intended to be sources of light. To most Chinese people, traditional Chinese lanterns represent joy, good fortune & social status. However, they are decreasing in popularity and most Malaysian young Chinese regard them as a dispensable decorative item for festivals. The usage of traditional Chinese hanging lantern is on the decline – studies have shown that the advent of modern lighting technology has thrown the production and useage of traditional Chinese lantern into crisis and turned it into an obsolete product. Through content analysis, researchers evaluated the current situation and explored the issues surrounding traditional Chinese hanging lanterns among young Chinese people. Results indicated that Malaysian young Chinese gradually lost interest in traditional Chinese hanging lanterns due to the lack of enthusiasm towards inherited Chinese culture and an increase in available exotic lighting accessories. This study may serve as a supplementary reference in the research and development of new cultural products, providing other researchers with a clearer direction to make their work easier and faster.

In Kampung Sanan Malang, designated as a tourist destination for small householdbased industries, tempeh chips are its flagship product. The 636 tempeh artisans are from Sanan Malang Tempeh and Tempeh Chips Production Center Association. Members of this community have processed tempeh into 50 types of preparations like various flavors of tempeh chips, tempeh satay, mendol sticks, tempeh brownies cakes, dry tempeh, processed soybean stew to produce nata de soya, muffins, tempeh mud cakes, and bloeder cakes. The last innovation made in 2021 was named Character Tempeh. This new product is manufactured by utilizing a plastic mold. The problem is that no member of this community has been able to make their own desired shape of the character model, nor have they been able to make a more effective print. The solutions offered include making character models using plasticine and training in printing these models using food-grade RTV. At the end of this activity, artisans can produce processed character tempeh with unique and good quality so that it becomes a typical product of Sanan Malang.

Published: August 2023

Kampung Sanan is one of the creative villages in Malang Raya, with various soybeanbased product innovations. Covid-19 has impacted the amount of tourists who come to visit, making production and sales turnover decrease. Before the pandemic, 4-5 groups visited Sanan Village in a week, or approximately 18-20 visitors in one month. This condition declined due to the PPKM enforced in Malang Raya and the prohibition on receiving large group visits, limiting it to only individuals and a maximum of 5 people per week. This condition encourages the tempe artisans of Kampung Sanan to be persistent in diversifying. The creation of various innovations by these artisans is to improve the people’s economy. Kampung Sanan always holds the Tempe Sanan Culinary Festival every year by displaying superior products, so it must always strive for new products that are uniquely attractive but still refer to the characteristic of Kampung Sanan, namely tempe processing. This article aims to describe the various product diversifications carried out by the residents of Kampung Sanan to increase sales turnover and strengthen local wisdom values.

Published: August 2023

The presentation of music in traditional wedding ceremonies can either be independent (uyon-uyon) or act as an accompaniment. Independent karawitan is served when filling the atmosphere and entertaining guests who are enjoying a meal as well as entertaining them. Marrying with customs is understood as a matter of pride for humans. Among the long traditional processions, one of them is a Javanese traditional wedding ceremony holding great meaning.

Memory Collective in the Visual Rhetoric of Traditional Packaging Designs
Authors: Agung Sutrisno Andika , Pujiyanto Pujiyanto , Sunarto Bambang
Published: August 2023

Campaigns against environmental issues are now being voiced more and more, one of which is the problem of waste due to packaging. The packaging process uses organic materials, mainly producing waste that can pollute the environment. Packaging has been done by the community through the system of storing dish ingredients. Consumerist societies appear as a result of consuming signs, and any signs that appear visually greatly affect the target motivational audience both intrinsically and extrinsically. The representation of visual language in the form of processed natural materials into packaging products gives rise to the perception of traditional imagery. The fact that the packaging design at the company Jajanan Rakyat Khas Indonesia ( jarkasi) still maintains natural ingredients for traditional food products in Blitar is a concern in this study. This study uses qualitative research with intrinsic case studies that will discuss the packaging design of regional culinary dishes that use noodle-style ingredients as product wrappers. Research was conducted using interpretation analysis methods with a semiotic approach through sign science to observe symptoms that appear.This technique depicts traditional images that appear in packaging designs that use natural materials as research objects and inherent attributes as visual signs that can build persuasive messages of traditional images. The use of natural ingredients in the choice of packaging is intentional due to the value proposition in snack products offered to consumers, where the value proposition is a special offer allocated to consumers and potential consumers. Overall, the memory of the manifestation of past cultural products has special values that are built through the process of in-memory transmission until it is meaningful. This meaning will be passed on to other potential consumers through a symbolic stimulus as a collective of memory.

Published: August 2023

This study aims to measure the influence of Instagram influencers and their relationship in giving the image of a destination to the interest of tourists visiting tourist destinations in Indonesia. Furthermore, it identifies photo-taking techniques in framing phenomena, events, or the ambience of tourist objects. This is related to the role of influencers and social media that dominates the tourism aspect in the era of the Internet of Things. This study uses a quantitative approach accompanied by a descriptive description. The primary data were 29 Instagram influencers who shared their travels, which were obtained by distributing questionnaires from August to September 2021. The data obtained were then processed and analyzed using SPSS26 modelling software. The results showed that 1) most of the influencers chose to upload photos or videos of the location along with the influencer himself (41,365), 2) influencers chose to use long shot camera shot size (46.46%) to be able to show the location of tourist destinations better, 3) in terms of using angle, 2,356 respondents (54.16%) used eye level shots, and 4) 2,255 (51.84%) used to post photos with cold colour schemes when taking pictures. Based on the statistical data, social media influencers affect purchase intention. Therefore, these image indicators of tourist attractions in quality and track record need to be considered by managers to prepare places that cater to influencers as tourism promotion agents.

Authors: Iriaji Iriaji , Prasetyo Abdul Rahman , Aruna Alby , Putri Surya Eka , Lydia Ade Vega Brenda , Marcelliantika Adinda
Published: August 2023

Dwimatra and trimatra are currently the main material for university fine arts courses. As a partner campus for the MBKM program, it is obligatory to provide compulsory courses in two dimensions and three dimensions. However, this course is prone to learning misconceptions. As a learning process that prioritizes aesthetics, students are not provided an optimal environment in understanding and experiencing aesthetics due to the lack of accessible virtual infrastructure. This research aims to reduce the misconceptions of the learning problem by providing virtual infrastructure for virtual reality laboratories. The research uses the ADDIE Model method (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation) to develop learning empirically, structurally, and holistically. Validation tests were carried out by material and media experts to determine the media validity. The match pair test is used as a data analysis technique to determine the level of learning outcomes in pre-test and post-test. The hypothetical decision-making guideline on the match pair test refers to the significance value (Sig) if Sig. (2 tailed) < 0.05, then H0is rejected and Hais accepted, if Sig. (2-tailed) > 0.05, then H0is accepted and Hais rejected. The practicality test was conducted to determine the level of media practicality that is obtained from R/SM x 100% with the information R (Achievable Value) and SM (Maximum Score). In this regard, the design of virtual reality laboratories for trimatra and dwimatra art materials for higher education can avoid misconceptions about learning with virtual infrastructure technology.

Primary Student and Teacher Game Based Learning Engagement: The Problem and the Challenge
Authors: Kusumawati Hidayat Ima , Wahyu Arizal Fariza , Sutrisno Arif
Published: August 2023

Teacher and student engagement are critical factors that have a significant impact on the learning process. The use of educational games has been shown to make learning more interactive and fun, while also promoting a sense of motivation and engagement among students. This paper aims to investigate the factors that influence student and teacher involvement in game-based learning and how to minimize the potential problem during the classroom intervention. In this preliminary study, we employ a literature review method to find the correlation between teacher and student perspectives in games, and how game-based learning potentially can improve this engagement. Research has found that teacher and student engagement are crucial factors in the learning process and that teachers play a vital role in promoting student engagement. Students who view games as relevant to their learning goals tend to be more engaged and motivated to learn. When teachers view games as a valuable tool for teaching and learning, they are more likely to incorporate them into their instruction and create opportunities for students to use them. This, in turn, leads to increased student engagement, motivation, and learning. Additionally, the use of games in the classroom has the potential to enhance the learning experience for both teachers and students. A key purpose for this review is to provide a framework that teachers might use to construct effective classroom engagement pedagogies.

Subordination of the Dalang Wayang Krucil in the National Political Constellation
Authors: Irawanto Rudi
Published: August 2023

Dalang Wayang Krucil is an important figure in practical political culture in Indonesia. In several areas in Java, especially in East Java, puppeteers are part of political forces that have very significant influence at the grassroot level. Dalang Wayang Kayu is affiliated with several political organizations that influence the ideology of this performance. In the Old Order era, there were two cultural organizations that became the shelter for puppeteers, namely Lekra and LKN. Lekra (People’s Cultural Institute) is a cultural organization under the PKI (Indonesian Communist Party), while LKN (National Cultural Institute) is under the auspices of the PNI (Indonesian National Party). The ideological confrontation between the two mass organizations affected the style of the dalang’s performances. The puppeteers under Lekra perform more populist plays, while the dalangs in LKN perform more within the context of national culture. In its development, the puppeteers, who are members of Lekra, try to close themselves off from the outside world until the end of their lives. Meanwhile, the puppeteers in the LKN continued to work until the New Order era. The subordination of puppeteers to wooden puppets is one of the factors causing the art of wooden puppets to not develop in several areas in Java.

Strengthening Man 2 School Brand Image Through Visual Identity

Published: August 2023

Visual identity is a very important part of being in a company or agency. It serves as a differentiator from other companies. In addition, visual identity is also used to strengthen the image of a company or agency. Changes in visual identity include various types, ranging from changes to logos, visual elements, and other media. One way to make a product easy to recognize and remember is to create a good brand image. An image is the public’s perception of the image of an institution or company. In the literature it is also stated that an image is a person’s beliefs, ideas and impressions of something. A brand image is the perception of consumers who use the brand. The name change from MAN 3 Malang City to Man 2 Malang City would be enough to have a significant impact. In terms of the name clearly changed, it automatically also requires changes in visual form. With these changes, of course, MAN 2 Malang needs to strengthen the brand image of the school through the design of a visual identity so that it remains recognizable and also chosen by the community as one of the favorite schools among the public. When it comes to visual identity, it cannot be separated from the so-called ”LOGO”. If likened to a human being, the brand is a form of the human itself, while the logo is the face of the human self. In its later design, the new visual identity must be able to reflect the character of the school so that it can be different from other schools.

Published: August 2023

Tarling’s method for creating Tarling music is evolving over time. The digitalization field observes the agents’ ways in production, distribution, and consumption of digital music files. Agents build their own habitus in employing their numerous capitals in the digitalization space. By combining the correlation of habitus and field theories of Bourdieu and Mosco’s perspective on commodification, this research is presented in a qualitative descriptive way with the research locus in the Cirebon region, West Java. The purpose of this research is to find out the commodification practice of Tarling’s music in the digitalization field, including the production, distribution and consumption sub-fields. As a result, commodification is carried out by producer agents, managers, and singers, who tend to be submissive and adaptive to the production structure built through the role of agents in their respective habitus. The production, distribution, and consumption of Tarling music tends to ignore the value of authenticity that the practice of commodification in the digitalization fields produces a pseudo-culture due to standardization and uniformity of form, in which Tarling music becomes a profit commodity.

Sendo o Programa Cidades Sustentáveis (PCS) uma iniciativa em prol às práticas adequadas para uma gestão municipal sustentável, a relevância deste artigo está pautada na disseminação do PCS averiguando-o como método de avaliação nas áreas social, ambiental, econômica, política e cultural. Esta pesquisa visa averiguar se a proposta do Programa Cidades Sustentáveis (PCS) (planos de metas, eixos, indicadores e resultados) pode servir de instrumento de avaliação da gestão pública dos municípios brasileiros, sob a ótica da accountability. O procedimento metodológico pautou-se em técnicas de coleta de informações, a partir da documentação indireta e direta, recolhidas do site do programa e com dados complementares cedidos pela gestão do programa. Em seguida foi realizado a classificação quanto a aderência ao plano de metas. Observou-se que mesmo que o programa possua métricas e orientações para as prefeituras envolvidas, não há entendimento e empatia por parte dos gestores ao que preza o PCS, assim os resultados apontam que nas atuais circunstâncias não seria possível utilizá-lo como ferramenta de avaliação dos trabalhos desenvolvidos. Uma das principais contribuições deste artigo, concentra-se em torno do gestor público, o qual precisa compreender a importância do desenvolvimento sustentável, para que esteja à frente de qualquer programa de gestão, desenvolvendo aptidão e disposição para enquadrar-se nas propostas e recomendações.

Objectives: Treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocations vary. In this study, we aim to examine the functional results of patients who underwent hook plate fixation due to dislocation of acromioclavicular joint.
Methods: We retrospectively observed 21 patients who had been treated with hook plate due to dislocation of acromioclavicular joint. At follow up, Constant-Murley scoring system was performed for shoulder function evaluation, while radiological results were performed by X-ray.
Results: Seventeen of these patients were male and four were female. Eleven of these patients had Rockwood type 5 joint dislocation and ten had Rockwood type 3 joint dislocation. The mean age was 36.7 ± 13.37 years (range: 19-61 years). The mean follow-up period was 27.3 ± 19.3 months (range: 10-59). Constant-Murley shoulder scoring was excellent in 18 patients (93.6) and good (82.5) in 3 patients. While one patient had wound site infection and one patient had plate broken, no one had any neurological damage. Except for the failed implants, plate removal was not performed because the patients did not have plate-related complaints. At follow-up, it was observed that the acromioclavicular joint was in the reduced position on direct radiographs.
Conclusions: We observed good clinical and functional results for the treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation with hook plate treatment. The hook plate method is a safe and effective method in the acute treatment of type 3-5 injuries according to the Rockwood classification.

Highlight:

Preoperative tumor embolization was performed to reduce intraoperative risk and maximize resection success
Endovascular embolization has developed into an important and effective adjuvant in tumor management before a surgical resection.

 
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Hypervascular tumors of the head, neck, and central nervous system are associated with a high risk of bleeding during surgery. Hemangioma is a benign neoplasm that tends to grow rapidly, bleed, and have a high recurrence rate, especially after partial resection. Considering that hemangioma is a type of tumor with high vascularity, preoperative tumor embolization was performed to reduce intraoperative risk and maximize resection success. Case: A 33-year-old female came with the chief complaint of chronic progressive headaches and vision loss in the last 5 years. She got a lump on her forehead and had a visual acuity of 1/∞ in both eyes. She had already been diagnosed with hemangioma at a secondary regional hospital, where she bled profusely on the operating table, causing the resection to be discontinued. She was referred to our hospital for preoperative embolization. She underwent an endovascular embolization procedure with PVA particles to seal the feeder artery to the tumor. After embolization, angiography showed a complete devascularized tumor lesion. A total resection was done three days later with minimal bleeding compared to the first surgery. After a three-month follow-up, there was no new neurological deficit, and her headache was resolved completely, although her vision still did not improve. Conclusion: Endovascular embolization has developed into an important and effective adjuvant in tumor management before a surgical resection. Advances in catheter-based techniques, in conjunction with the development of the neurointervention field, are expected to raise the number of perioperative embolization procedures performed.

Published: August 2023

Highlight:

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability in the world.
There is correlation between HDL cholesterol in acute thrombotic patients and the functional degree of the NIHSS.
The lower rate of HDL cholesterol is related to the higher NIHSS score or the higher level of stroke severity.

 
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Stroke is one of the world’s leading causes of death and disability. Acute thrombotic stroke accounts for 87% of all stroke cases. The study of the correlation between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels and acute thrombotic stroke is still limited, especially on the relationship between HDL levels and the degree of functional stroke. Objective: This study aimed to prove a correlation between HDL cholesterol and the functional scale measured by the NIHSS (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale) in acute thrombotic stroke. Methods: The design study was cross-sectional, with sampling by consecutive admission based on inclusion and exclusion criteria in the neurological ward (Seruni A) at Dr.Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya. The NIHSS was used to determine the degree of functional scale, and HDL levels were measured by enzymatic endpoint methods. Results: From the 40 subjects studied, 16 (40%) had normal HDL levels of ≥ 40 mg/dL with an NIHSS score between 0–10, and 24 (60%) had lower HDL levels of ≤ 40 mg/dL with an NUHSS score between 0–20. There were significant results in this study (r = 0.391 and p = 0.013). Conclusion: There was a negative correlation between HDL cholesterol levels and the functional scale measured by the NIHSS in acute thrombotic stroke patients.
Clear Cell Sarcoma of the Kidney: A Remarkably Uncommon Case Report
Authors: TEKİN Emel , MÜLKEM Osman Furkan , TÖRET Ersin
Published: August 2023

Clear cell sarcoma of the kidney (CCSK) is one of the most common malignant renal neoplasms in childhood, although it is quite rare. Its incidence peaks around the age of 3 and it is twice as common in males. We present a rare case of CCSK showing a rare histopathological pattern in terms of age and gender. A 7-month-old female patient presented with complaints of vomiting, abdominal swelling, and diarrhea. Imaging analysis revealed a mass in the right kidney, and right radical nephrectomy was performed, considering Wilms tumor (WT). There was a solid gray-white mass that completely filled the kidney, with a maximum dimension of 8.5 cm, macroscopically. The samples obtained showed intratubular structures within the tumor and kidney parenchyma in limited areas at the periphery. The tumor had a normochromic monotonous nucleus with occasional clear cytoplasm and mostly exhibited a palisade-like arrangement pattern. In the differential diagnosis, with blastemal WT and Ewing sarcoma being the primary considerations, the positivity of CyclinD1 markers, negativity of other markers, and morphological characteristics were evaluated in favor of CCSK with a palisaded Schwannian pattern. The patient was put on an intensive chemotherapy process, but was lost after relaps at weet 24. CCSK is seen in a similar age group as WT but is distinguished by its rarity and relatively worse prognosis. Histopathologically, it most commonly presents in a myxoid pattern and least commonly in anaplastic pattern. The palisaded schwannian type seen in our case is recorded at a rate of 11%. No spesific diagnostic marker has been identified immunohistochemically, but the overexpression of markers such as CyclinD1, BCOR, and EZH2 is reported to be helpful in diagnosis. Due to its high metastatic potential and limited treatment options, further research is needed to understand the molecular nature of the disease.
Lymphatic ultrasound (D-CUPS) and multi-point ICG lymphography for successful LVA
Authors: Hara Hisako , Mihara Makoto
Published: August 2023

Securing dilated lymphatic vessels with good function is challenging when performing lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA). To achieve this, we propose multi-point indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography and lymphatic ultrasound (D-CUPS; Doppler, Cross, Uncollapsible, Parallel, and Superficial fascia). With multi-point ICG lymphography, more lymphatic vessels can be found than with conventional ICG lymphography, which leads to better surgical results. Lymphatic ultrasound is more useful because it allows the observation of cross-sections of lymphatic vessels. It is known that lymphatic degeneration occurs in the lymphatic vessels in lymphedematous limbs, and LVA is most effective when dilated lymphatic vessels are anastomosed. The degree of lymphatic degeneration can be diagnosed with lymphatic ultrasound, and the proximity of dilated lymphatic vessels and veins suitable for anastomosis can be reliably identified and selected as the skin incision site for LVA. Lymphatic ultrasound is a safe, versatile and useful imaging technique that does not require a contrast agent and can be performed by anyone. By mastering multi-point ICG lymphography and lymphatic ultrasound (D-CUPS), the operation time can be shortened, and more effective LVA can be performed. In this Technical Note article, we comprehensively describe lymphatic function examinations that we have developed so far.
