Authors: Sarkar Prodip Kumar , Ridoy Dip Majumder , Moon Mehedi Islam , Fouzder Swapon Kumar
Published: December 2023

Safe meat production is an important aspect to avoid human health hazards. The use of probiotics in poultry is an important tool to produce safe meat among several established biotechnological approaches. In this experiment, we studied the effects of probiotics for producing safe Japanese quail meat. 150 Japanese quail chicks were reared for a period of six weeks using various doses of probiotics (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2g per litre of water). The chicks were randomly distributed into five treatment groups with three replications each. The number of birds in each replication was 10. After rearing six weeks, significantly high body weight was found at probiotic concentrations of 1, 1.5, and 2g per litre of water. The feed intake in various treatments did not differ significantly, but comparatively better feed conversion ratios were observed at probiotic treatments. Water quality was not significantly differed as a result of addition of probiotics to the water. The reason for this better growth performance is probably due to the multiple benefits of probiotics in poultry. Probiotics could have maintained gut health with better nutrient utilization and availability that might have been led to higher body weight gain in the quail. In future experiments, challenging the birds with diseases or comparing probiotics with antibiotic growth promoters is required to ensure the efficiency of probiotics.

Published: December 2023

Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum are obligate intracellular protozoan parasites that can affect different warm-blooded species worldwide. In this study, it was aimed to detect T. gondii and N. caninum using PCR method in brain tissues of aborted sheep fetuses. Brain specimens were collected from 50 Morkaraman sheep fetuses that had undergone abortion at various stages of pregnancy, within the lambing seasons of 2023 in Muş. Approximately 1 cm³ of brain tissue from the right cerebral hemisphere was excised and subsequently frozen at -20°C for DNA extraction. DNA extraction and PCR amplification were then performed. As a result of this study, 11 (22%) of 50 brain tissues were positive. All brain samples examined in this study were negative for Neospora caninum. Based on the results of this study, it is possible to say that T. gondii is an important abortion agent in sheep in this region. Although N. caninum was not detected in this study, larger scale studies are recommended. Moreover, this study provides important information to breeders and veterinarians in the field in the evaluation and management of abortion.

Authors: Kahveci Barış , Yücel Muzaffer
Published: December 2023

Today, environmental issues are rapidly increasing due to the growing population, rapid and unplanned urbanization, industrialization pressure, and advancing technology. Consequently, there is an accelerated search for solutions to environmental problems. As in the formation of these problems, humans will be a key factor in solving them. Therefore, individuals need to be developed and equipped in terms of environmental awareness, environmental consciousness, and environmental sensitivity. Many studies in the literature advocate the necessity of education to increase environmental awareness; however, first and foremost, individuals’ environmental awareness must be identified and their levels must be revealed. In this study, noise pollution, which has been increasingly impactful in the last 30 years and is ranked as the second-highest burden of disease by the World Health Organization after air pollution, with less awareness compared to other environmental issues, is evaluated. In this context, the research area is selected as the Çukurova District of Adana Province, and the awareness of noise pollution among the residents in the region is assessed through survey forms and SPSS software. Additionally, using the survey results, the proportional values of noise pollution as the most significant environmental issue are evaluated as spatial analysis and mapped.

Authors: Choi Patricia J. , Fajt Merritt L.
Published: December 2023

Background: During the height of the SARS CoV-2 (severe acutre respiratory syndrome coronavirus disease 2019 [COVID 19]) pandemic, there have been numerous case reports of cutaneous reactions shortly after COVID-19 vaccine administration. Most reported cases are local injection-site
reactions, whereas persistent or delayed cutaneous reactions have not been as common. Methods: We present the case of an 82-year-old man with persistent rash after the second COVID-19 vaccination. Results: A specific diagnosis was confirmed after the
third skin biopsy. Conclusion: Patients are frequently referred to an allergist for various cutaneous reactions that occurred after vaccination, concerned about a possible drug allergy. This case emphasizes the importance of keeping a broad differential diagnosis when encountering
a persistent skin rash not resolved by oral antihistamines or steroids.

Authors: Bourgoyne Kesler , Sampognaro Langley , Bhat Anand , Valdes Camacho Juanita , Mhanna Maroun , Kaufman David
Published: December 2023

Background: Hymenoptera venom anaphylaxis (HVA) is reported in up to 3% of stings and accounts for approximately 40 US deaths annually. HVA patients require immediate availability of epinephrine and Allergist referrals for consideration of venom immunotherapy. Data regarding
epinephrine autoinjector prescriptions, Allergist referral rates, and potential racial disparities are limited. Objective: The primary objective was to determine if there were statistically significant differences in epinephrine autoinjector prescriptions and Allergist
referrals between white and African American patients. The secondary objectives were to determine if there were statistically significant differences between adult and pediatric patients and to determine if there were significant differences between epinephrine prescriptions between patients
with and without Allergist referrals. Method: This study is a retrospective, descriptive chart review analyzing patients seen between January 01, 2019 and December 31, 2021. Data were obtained utilizing the Epic Systems (Verona, WI) application Slicer Dicer. Individual
chart review was performed for age, race, epinephrine autoinjector prescription, and Allergist referral. Results: 342 patients were identified as having HVA. White patients (60 out of 219; 27.4%) were more likely to get epinephrine autoinjector prescriptions than African
American patients (17 out of 109; 15.6%) (p = 0.018). Adult patients (25 out of 314; 8.0%) were less likely than pediatric patients (8 out of 28; 28.6%) to have Allergist referrals (p = 0.004). Patients with Allergist referrals (25 out of 32; 78.1%) were more likely to be prescribed an epinephrine
autoinjector than patient without Allergist referrals (54 out of 310; 17.4%) (p < 0.00001). Conclusion: Epinephrine autoinjector prescriptions and Allergist referrals are low overall in HVA. Racial disparities were identified with African American patients being significantly
less likely to receive epinephrine autoinjector prescriptions. Additionally, adult patients, who may be at increased risk, were less likely to receive Allergist referrals.

Published: December 2023

Background: Mask use is recommended to reduce the transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. The safety of mask use in adults and children with asthma is unknown. Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of
mask use on peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) in those with and those without asthma. Methods: A two-stage cross-sectional study was performed. In the first stage, the SpO2 concentration in adults and children with and without asthma was measured
with the adults and children at rest during mask use. In the second stage, children years 6‐17 performed a 6-minute walk test while wearing masks. The SpO2 concentration was measured before the exercise and at 3 and 6 minutes into exercise. Subjective dyspnea was evaluated
by using the Pediatric Dyspnea Scale (PDS). Results: In the first stage, SpO2 levels in 393 subjects were analyzed. In the second stage, 50 pediatric subjects were included, 25 with and 25 without asthma. There was no difference in SpO2 levels between
those with and those without asthma in adults and children wearing masks while at rest, with median SpO2 98% in both groups. There was no difference in oxygen saturation or reported level of dyspnea between the children with asthma and children without asthma performing the 6-minute
walk test while wearing masks. Median SpO2 levels were at or near 99% in the asthma and non-asthma groups at all time points. Median PDS scores were similar between the asthma and non-asthma groups. Conclusion: Mask use did not affect SpO2 in adults
and children at rest or in children performing low-to-moderate intensity exercise. These findings were consistent in those with and without asthma.

Published: December 2023

Background:Olfactory dysfunction (OD) and smell loss affects aspects of patients' everyday life and lowers their quality of life. OD questionnaires are considered one of the core-outcome measures in chronic rhinosinusitis, but many existing smell loss questionnaires contained pandemic-prohibitive questions on social gatherings or restaurant visits, were too culture specific or gender specific, or were overly long and cumbersome.Objective:We aimed to develop a new brief questionnaire to assess the impact and consequences of smell loss and its burden on daily life. This study validates this new, short, multicultural, dichotomized questionnaire in an international population that has aspirin-exacerbated disease (AERD).Methods:The Consequences of Smell Loss (COSL) questionnaire was developed and content validity was assessed by experts and patients at Brigham and Women's Hospital. The questionnaire, along with other validated quality-of-life surveys, was answered by 853 patients with AERD. We evaluated the factor structure, reliability, validity, and discriminative ability of the COSL questionnaire.Results:The final version of the COSL questionnaire consisted of 13 items divided into three subdomains (emotional distress, food and safety, and physical health) through factor analysis. The Cronbach α for internal consistency was 0.82. Convergent and discriminant validity with the 22-item Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22), Healthy Days Core Module-4, Patient Health Questionnaire-4, and a specific question on taste and smell were high (p< 0.0001 for all). The COSL questionnaire score was associated with SNOT-22 categories (p< 0.001) and was categorized as follows: normal, 0‐1 points; very few consequences, 2‐3 points; few, 4 points; moderate, 5‐6 points; and severe, 7‐13 points.Conclusion:The COSL questionnaire is a new, brief, valid, reliable tool that can effectively screen for a high burden of OD in patients with AERD and has the potential to be used in other patient populations with OD as well.

INFLUENCE OF ANNEALING TEMPERATURE ON ZINC OXYSULPHIDE THIN FILMS PROPERTIES DEPOSITED BY THERMAL SPRAY TECHNIQUE
Authors: Khalil Mohammed H. , Mohammed Raghad Y. , Ibrahem Mohammed A.
Published: December 2023

This article studies the effects of annealing temperatures on the stoichiometry, structure, and optical characteristics of Zinc Oxysulphide thin films deposited on glass substrates using the thermal spray method. The annealing was done in the air under a temperature of 150 ºC, 250 ºC and 350 ºC. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), and a UV-Vis Spectrophotometer were utilized to examine the thin films' morphological, structure, and optical characteristics as grown and annealed samples. It has been observed that the film thickness decreases as the annealing temperature increases. The XRD pattern demonstrates that as-prepared and annealed samples at 250C, and 350C are amorphous, while film annealed at 150 C is crystalline with the hexagonal phase and orientated along (110) plane. FESEM image of the as-prepared Zinc Oxysulphide thin films shows flower-like sheet nanostructures. However, for the annealed samples, the FESEM images show cone-like with a combination of sheets and aggregate nanoparticles. EDX analysis reveals the presence of Zn, O as well as sulfur. The transmittance of the film decreases from 63% to 37% and the band gap energy reduces slightly from 3.99 to 3.92 eV as the annealing temperature increase.
Gediz (Alaşehir) Grabeni’nde Gelişen A-Sismik Yüzey Deformasyonların Kökeni
Authors: ESKİ Semih , SÖZBİLİR Hasan
Published: December 2023

Gediz (Alaşehir) Grabeni’nde 1969 Alaşehir depreminden sonra yüzey kırığı oluşturacak büyüklükte bir deprem olmamasına rağmen, Alaşehir-Sarıgöl arasında ciddi yüzey çatlakları ve çöküntüler meydana gelmektedir. Bölgede yapılan çalışmalarda, bu deformasyonların tektonik etkilerden mi yoksa yeraltı su seviyesi (YAS) değişimlerinden mi kaynaklandığı konusunda henüz bir fikir birliğine varılamamıştır.

Bu araştırma, PS-InSAR tekniği kullanılarak elde edilen 2B’lu düşey ve yatay hız oranlarının jeolojik bilgiler ışığında değerlendirilmesini ve deformasyona neden olan tektonik modelin ortaya konmasını hedeflemiştir. Bunun için 2015-2023 yılları arasındaki Sentinel-1 uydu görüntüleri kullanılmıştır. Buna göre Sarıgöl Fayı’nın tavan bloğunda deformasyon hızı -26 mm/yıl, taban bloğunda +3 mm/yıl’dır. Bu da aktif tektonik rejim altında Bozdağ Horstu’nun yükselirken, grabenin sürekli çöktüğünü göstermektedir. Alınan Şerit profiller, graben kenar faylarının havzanın çöküntü geometrisini doğrudan kontrol ettiğini göstermektedir. Bulgularımıza göre 11 mm/yıl (batıya) ile 7 mm/yıl (doğuya) zıt yönlü yatay hareketlerin maksimum düşey deformasyon alanında gözlenmesi, çökmenin yatay düzlemde radyal yayılımla, düşeyde ise senformal geometride gerçekleştiğini gösterir. Yani, yatay hareket bölgedeki KB-GD yönlü sıkışmadan ziyade, havzanın çökme rejimini kontrol eden güney kenar faylarının geometrisi ve türüyle ilişkilidir. Güney kenara doğru artan, havzanın içine doğru azalan düşey deformasyonlar, listrik geometrili ana graben fayının tavan bloğundaki domino tarzı geri dönüşe işaret eder. Deformasyonların Alaşehir’in batısından itibaren gözükmemesi, literatürde bahsedildiği gibi Alaşehir ve Salihli alt havzalarının örtülü yarı düşey bir fayla sınırlanmış olmasından kaynaklanır. Bazı noktalarda düşey hız ve YAS değişimlerine ait tutarsızlıkların gözlenmesi ve bu noktaların Alaşehir depremi ile oluşmuş yüzey kırıklarına yakın olması, deformasyonların önemli bir bölümünün tektonik etkiler altında meydana geldiğini düşündürmektedir.

Sonuç olarak deformasyonlar, 1969 Alaşehir depreminin kosismik evresinde gelişen sismik atımlara ek olarak, intersismik dönemde meydana gelen a-sismik kaymalarla oluşmuştur. Bu nedenle mevcut deformasyonları tek başına yeraltı su seviyesi değişimlerine bağlamak hatalı modellemelere neden olabilir. YAS’taki ani değişimler, intersismik dönemde meydana gelecek a-sismik deformasyonun, tektonik kontrol altında gelişen sediman konsolidasyonu hızlandırmasına ve deformasyonların hızlı bir şekilde gerçekleşmesine neden olmaktadır.
Most Probable Explanations for Probabilistic Database Queries
Authors: Ceylan Ismail Ilkan , Borgwardt Stefan , Lukasiewicz Thomas
Published: December 2023

Forming the foundations of large-scale knowledge bases, probabilistic databases have been widely studied in the literature. In particular, probabilistic query evaluation has been investigated intensively as a central inference mechanism. However, despite its power, query evaluation alone cannot extract all the relevant information encompassed in large-scale knowledge bases. To exploit this potential, we study two inference tasks; namely finding the most probable database and the most probable hypothesis for a given query. As natural counterparts of most probable explanations (MPE) and maximum a posteriori hypotheses (MAP) in probabilistic graphical models, they can be used in a variety of applications that involve prediction or diagnosis tasks. We investigate these problems relative to a variety of query languages, ranging from conjunctive queries to ontology-mediated queries, and provide a detailed complexity analysis.
The Magical Character of the Musical Instruments of the Indigenous Peoples of Sakhalin
Authors: Мамчева Н.А.
Published: December 2023

В  статье рассматриваются музыкальные инструменты коренных малочисленных народов Сахалина — нивхов, ороков/уйльта, айнов выявляется магическая сущность инструментов. Ядро музыкальной культуры аборигенов Сахалина относится к древнему пласту. Музыкальные инструменты в архаической культуре были одним из основных способов проникновения за грань реального мира. Звуковые инструменты в  обрядовой культуре сахалинских народов рассматриваются гораздо шире, чем просто музыкальные: бубен придавал шаману магическую силу, шаманский пояс и погремушки защищали от злых духов, музыкальное бревно олицетворяло тело медведя — горного человека. Многие инструменты имели зооморфные или антропоморфные черты. В некоторых случаях музыкальный инструмент служил для сокрытия голоса человека, особенно плача. Это демонстрируют и  нивхские тростниковые дудочки, и однострунный смычковый инструмент, и звуковое бревно, и травяные трубы. Все обрядовые инструменты и создаваемая с их помощью музыка служили для осуществления связи с иными сферами мироздания. В данной статье вводятся в научный оборот новые факты о музыкальных инструментах аборигенов Сахалина. В центре внимания находятся многие закономерности использования обрядового и  внеобрядового инструментария, которые до сих пор не рассматривались в отечественной и зарубежной литературе. Статья представляет большой интерес для музыковедов, фольклористов, этнографов, а также для всех, интересующихся культурой коренных народов Сибири и Дальнего Востока.

This article discusses the musical instruments of the indigenous peoples of Sakhalin — the Nivkhs, Oroks/Uilts, and Ainu, and reveals their magical character. The core of the musical culture of the natives of Sakhalin belongs to its ancient substratum. Musical instruments in archaic culture performed a sacred function and were one of the main ways to penetrate beyond the real world. Sound-producing instruments in the ritual culture of the Sakhalin peoples were considered much more than just “musical”: a tambourine gave the shaman magical powers, a shaman’s belt and rattles protected him from evil spirits, a musical log that personified the body of a bear (a mountain man). Many instruments had zoomorphic or anthropomorphic features. In some cases, the musical instrument served to hide a person’s voice, especially when crying. This is demonstrated by Nivkh reed pipes, a single string bowed instrument, the sound log, and grass pipes. All of the ritual instruments and the music created with their help served to communicate with other areas of the universe. This article introduces new facts about the musical instruments of Sakhalin natives into scientific circulation. The focus is on many characteristics in the use of ritual and non-ritual tool, which have not yet been considered in domestic or foreign scholarship. The article is of interest to musicologists, folklorists, ethnographers, as well as to everyone concerned with the culture of the indigenous peoples of Siberia and the Far East.
Dynamic metal-linker bonds in metal-organic frameworks
Authors: Svensson Grape Erik , Davenport Audrey , Brozek Carl
Published: December 2023

Metal-linker bonds serve as the “glue” that binds metal ions to multitopic organic ligands in the porous materials known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Despite ample evidence of bond lability in molecular and polymeric coordination compounds, the metal-linker bonds of MOFs were long assumed to be rigid and static. Given the importance of ligand fields in determining the behaviour of metal species, labile bonding in MOFs would help explain outstanding questions about MOF behaviour, while providing a design tool for controlling dynamic and stimuli-responsive optoelectronic, magnetic, catalytic, and mechanical phenomena. Here, we present emerging evidence that MOF metal-linker bonds exist in dynamic equilibria between weakly and tightly bond conformations, and that these equilibria respond to guest-host chemistry, drive phase change behavior, and exhibit size-dependence in MOF nanoparticles.

Critique on callista roy adaptation model
Authors: Muhammad Nasir , Gul Faraz Khan , Shumaila Batool
Published: December 2023

Callista Roy created the Roy Adaptation Model (RAM) in response to an issue from her Professor Dorothy E. Johnson in 1964. The foundational concept is introduced in the Adaptation framework; A Conceptual Framework for Nursing. The RAM was applied by the educators of Mount Saint Mary's College in Los Angeles to organize its curriculum. Roy's Adaptation framework teaches nurses the fundamentals of treating patients including the philosophical approach. Precise descriptions for the mentioned ideas and phrases used in the model are required. Another hurdle in the practice field is time constraints; the obligatory time to fully apply the two components of RAM evaluation may be seen as much more difficult to overcome. This is especially problematic when the bulk of practitioners begin to utilize the RAM and confront the aforementioned obstacle.
Pilot Agent-Driven Wireless Acoustic Sensor Network for Uninterrupted Data Transmission
Authors: Ghosh Utpal , Mondal Uttam K.
Published: December 2023

Wireless acoustic sensor networks (WASN) usually demand uninterrupted and reliable data transmissions and an efficient path from the source nodes to the destination nodes, thus ensuring reliable delivery of sensitive or critical data with the use of multipath routing protocols. This paper presents a novel agent-driven WASN relying on a set of static and mobile agents. In the proposed technique, the location address is functioned into the operating node and the destination node. Calculations of the midpoint between the operating and the destination nodes are followed by identifying the shortest path based on a reference axis, using a mobile agent and a location address. Such an approach aims to ensure maximum utilization of the communicating paths. Based on the information concerning partial topology of the network, the destination node computes the weight factor and multiple paths using node distances, energy ratios and efficiencies of specific links. Then, the destination node selects the appropriate path from the multiple paths available, to transmit the data. This article also analyzes the performance of the proposed system with various parameters taken into consideration and shows its efficiency in comparison to other existing techniques.
Modeling Firm Value on Infrastructure, Utility, and Transportation Companies
Authors: Sukirno  , Prihandini Anintyas
Published: December 2023

Purpose: This study aims to model the effect of liquidity, leverage, profitability, and firm size on firm value in infrastructure, utilities, and transportation companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2018-2021.
 
Theoretical Framework: Based on signal theory (Spence, 1973), companies usually try to give signals through positive information in their financial reports to potential investors. This positive signal is expected to provide positive feedback from the company. According to Rizqia & Sumiati (2013), a positive signal from the company is expected to provide positive benefits for the company so that it can provide high value for the company.
 
Design/Methodology/Approach: This research was a quantitative approach involving 43 infrastructure, utility, and transportation companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2018 to 2021. The data were analysed with a data panel regression.
 
Findings: The results of this study indicate: (1) Liquidity has no effect on firm value. (2) Leverage has no effect on firm value. (3) Profitability affects firm value. (4) Firm size has no effect on firm value. (5) Liquidity, leverage, profitability, and firm size simultaneously affect firm value.
 
Research, Practical & Social Implications: The reserch findings imply that in modeling firms’ value, investors as researchers are recommended to use a careful consideration and fit factors.
 
Originality/Value: The results confirm the previous research that liquidity, leverage, and size have no effect on firm’s value but profitability. Nevertheless, it is recommended to the future reseach to employ a bigger sample size and consider any controlling or mediating variables affecting firms’s value.

Optimization of Rural Governance Structure under the Development of New Agricultural Management Entities
Authors: Wu Jun , Jiang Ling , Li Chaolin
Published: December 2023

The positive impact of the development of new agricultural business entities and their institutional systems on the optimization of rural governance structures can be examined from various perspectives, including the state, market, rural society, urban-rural relations, and grassroots governance structure in rural communities. The development of these new agricultural business entities has not only redefined but also restructured the power distribution and governance patterns in rural developing countries, markets, and villages. The rural social order has evolved into a ternary mutual structure governance pattern, often referred to as the “state market rural” model. This transformation has prompted adjustments in the national economic and social policy structure and management systems at both macro and micro levels. It has led to the reshaping of power dynamics, benefit distribution, and governance structures in both urban and rural areas, resulting in significant changes to the economic and social fabric of rural regions. Furthermore, the grassroots governance structure in rural society, characterized by “township governance and village governance,” is undergoing continuous development and improvement. This transition is marked by a shift towards a collaborative governance structure that encourages diverse participation. Building upon the aforementioned optimizations, the rural governance structure now exhibits new characteristics. These include a more extensive and diverse range of rural governance mechanisms, increased openness in governance processes, and a heightened synergy among various governance mechanisms. This dynamic evolution reflects a richer, more diverse, and more open approach to rural governance, fostering a stronger collaborative effort in the pursuit of effective governance.

SENI KOLOPETONG TASIKMALAYA: RELASI ARAK-ARAKAN, PENCAK SILAT DAN SISINGAAN
Authors: Dannurie Wily
Published: December 2023

Kolopetong art is an art originating from the Cisayong

Tasikmalaya area. This art basically combines the arts of Penca

and Sisingaan. Kolopetong as an art that not many researchers

have written and described sparked the author to make it the

purpose of phenomenological studies. The choice is based on the

fact that phenomenology is generally known as an approach that

sees an event speaking as it is. Kolopetong, as a newly recognized

art form in Tasikmalaya, is closely related to the tradition of

processions. In the current context, processions are generally

synonymous with the independence ceremony of the Republic of

Indonesia, or other events that are massive, large, related to the

anniversary of the city. Kolopetong art as a new entity in

Tasikmalaya shows that cultural creativity derived from existing

traditional arts gives rise to new entertainment for the

community.
EKSISTENSI SENI ORMATAN TARAWANGSA: FUNGSI TARAWANGSA DI TENGAH EKOSISTEM MASYARAKAT BANJARAN
Authors: Suryaman Atang , Masyuning Masyuning , Herizal Maspon
Published: December 2023

The existence of Tarawangsa Cangkungan, which is still alive and

continues to grow, cannot be separated from its existence which is

still functioned in many contexts, such as hajat overtime, ngaruat,

and treating the sick. In the context of the ecosystem, the study in

this paper takes focus and limits.

The times have become one of the factors contributing to the loss of

traditional culture and arts. Therefore, the continuity of an art

cannot be separated from how the artists maintain and continue the

tradition. The art of tarawangsa Banjaran is an example of a case

where this art was once alive and well known in the community,

but due to the lack of regeneration efforts and the decreasing

number of artists who continue it, this art has finally experienced

a period of vacuum and is now almost extinct. So far, one of the

main problems has been the strict restrictions on the regeneration

process of Banjaran's tarawangsa art. This policy requires

prospective heirs to have blood ties to the previous presenting artist

as the main requirement. This condition has become a barrier for

the younger generation who are interested in learning this art.

has been designated by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural

Heritage. Pencak silat in West Java is not only categorized as a

martial sport, but also as one of the arts. Pencak silat in the context

of performing arts is often called Kendang Penca (from the

perspective of musical aesthetics) and Ibing Penca (from the

perspective of dance aesthetics). The focus of this article is to

describe the variety of tepak ciwaringinan patterns in the pencak

silat family in Bandung. The consideration is that these songs and

tepak no longer appear in every kendang penca performance, it can

be said that their existence is starting to become extinct. In this

article, the author uses a qualitative approach from Jhon W.

Creswell by collecting data through observation, documentation,

and interviews. After the data is obtained, the author then analyzes

the data to test the truth of the data.

This article discusses an overview of pencak silat as a performing

art, the musical accompaniment of pencak silat in Bandung, and a

description of the Ciwaringinan tepak pattern in pencak silat. The

article concludes that pencak silat is one of the most important

aspects of the performing arts in Indonesia, especially in West Java.

Aesthetically, pencak silat generally consists of the aesthetics of the

Pencak Silat dance form (ibing penca), music aesthetics

(karawitan), and traditional fashion aesthetics. In addition, the

findings in this study are that there are a variety of Ciwaringinan

tepak patterns that have not been recognized by the public.
