Current and future demographics of the veteran population, 2014–2024
Authors: Amaral Ernesto F. L. , Pollard Michael S. , Mendelsohn Joshua , Cefalu Matthew
Published: July 2018

We project the population of United States veterans between 2014 and 2024 using a cohort component population projection method that provides estimates by age, sex, race/ethnicity, service era and geographic location. We also analyze distance of the projected veteran population to medical and health centers. Our research strategy integrates several methodological procedures, which can be applied to other subgroups of the American population in order to estimate future demographic trends at the local level. Baseline data for national projections came from the 2000 Census, which was the last census to collect information about veterans. We factored in estimates of mortality, adjusted for demographic characteristics, and added data from the U.S. Department of Defense on veterans entering the population after 2000. We estimated migration flows of veterans within the country using gravity models. Supplementary data came from American Community Surveys and accounted for a variety of factors, including age, sex, race/ethnicity, service era, population size of sending and receiving areas, and distance between areas. We project that the population of U.S. veterans will decrease by 19 percent over the next 10 years: from 21.6 million in 2014 to 17.5 million in 2024. The population will have a slightly higher proportion of older veterans. There will be modest changes in the demographic mix by sex and race/ethnicity. Between 2014 and 2024, the proportion of female veterans will increase 3 percentage points, from 8 to 11 percent. The share of non-Hispanic white males will decrease from 80 to 76 percent over the same period. The service era composition will change in the period. Veterans from the Vietnam conflict will decrease from 31 to 29 percent, while those from the Gulf War and Post-9/11 conflict will increase from 27 to 42 percent between 2014 and 2024. We estimate that, geographically, the veteran population will become more concentrated in urban areas, and the relative proportion of their population in the Ohio River Valley region will diminish.
New statistical metrics for multisite replication projects
Authors: Mathur Maya B , VanderWeele Tyler
Published: July 2018

Increasingly, researchers are attempting to replicate published original studies using large, multisite replication projects, at least 134 of which are completed or ongoing. These designs are promising to assess whether the original study is statistically consistent with the replications and to re-assess the strength of evidence for the scientific effect of interest. However, existing analyses generally focus on single replications; when applied to multisite designs, they provide an incomplete view of aggregate evidence and can lead to misleading conclusions about replication success. We propose new statistical metrics representing: (1) the probability that the original study's point estimate would be at least as extreme as it actually was, if in fact the original study were statistically consistent with the replications; (2) the estimated proportion of true effects agreeing in direction with the original study. Generalized versions of the second metric allow consideration of only true effects of scientifically meaningful size that agree in direction, or alternatively that disagree in direction, with the original study. These metrics apply when there are at least 10 replications. The first metric assumes normal true effects but appears robust to violations in simulations; the second is distribution-free. We provide R packages (Replicate and MetaUtility).
Quality-of-life in dementia: Assessment in low-and-middle income countries
Authors: Chua Kia-Chong , Böhnke Jan R. , Prince Martin , Banerjee Sube
Published: July 2018

The global burden of dementia is disproportionately higher in low-and-middle income countries yet systematic assessments of health-related quality-of-life (HRQL) mostly rely on measures developed in the UK/US. A recent systematic review of dementia-specific HRQL measures concluded that none could be recommended without further linguistic validation. Using a unique dataset from the 10/66 Dementia Research Group, we conducted one of the first in-depth studies to investigate the measurement invariance of dementia-specific HRQL measures for low-and-middle income countries. HRQL of people with dementia was assessed by self-report (DEMQOL) and informant-report (DEMQOL-Proxy) in a community memory clinic in the UK and population cohort surveys of the 10/66 Dementia Research Group in the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Cuba, Peru and Venezuela. Measurement invariance between the UK English and Ibero-American Spanish versions was investigated using multiple-group confirmatory bifactor modelling. Our findings showed that UK and Latin America older adults differ in how they respond to “positive emotion” items in the DEMQOL and DEMQOL-Proxy. The remaining items of DEMQOL and DEMQOL-Proxy showed no major difference in conceptual meaning, sensitivity to individual differences, and standards of difficulty between the UK English and Ibero-American Spanish versions. Furthermore, we found that the core components of self- and informant appraisal of HRQL may differ. Negative emotion may be a core component in self-appraisal of HRQL whereas social functioning may be a core component in how informants appraise HRQL of people with dementia. Measurement invariance of translated HRQL assessment warrant continued investigation, particularly in low-and-middle income countries, where the societal and fiscal impact of dementia needs urgent attention.

Published: July 2018

Objectives: The social network supporting an individual with psychosis may be adversely affected by the experience of caregiving. The Experience of Caregiving Inventory (ECI) is 66 item self-report measure of the impact of caregiving for carers of people diagnosed with psychotic disorders. This study aimed to create a brief version of the ECI, and evaluate its reliability and validity (n=626). Methods: The validation process was conducted through a multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) approach, using a graded response model and a complementary network approach. Results: This resulted in a 19 item, four factor inventory with a good model fit, displaying good reliability and validity. Conclusion: The BECI is a valid measure. The simplicity, ease of application and robust psychometric properties further enhances its acceptability and usefulness as a brief measure in clinical research and trials, as well as in routine practice providing reliable and valid data on experience of caregiving in families of an individual with psychosis.

Between February 8-11, 2016, selected artifacts from the Blackwater Draw National Historic Landmark (LA3324) were scanned in advance of a grant proposal to digitally aggregate the Clovis-era artifacts from the Clovis type site. These data were collected using a NextEngineHD running ScanStudioHD Pro, and were post-processed in Geomagic Design X 2016.0.1. All data associated with this project have been made publicly available (open access) and are accessible in Zenodo under a Creative Commons Attribution license, where they can be downloaded for use in additional projects and learning activities. These data have the capacity to augment a variety of research designs spanning the digital humanities, applications of geometric morphometrics, and many others. Additionally, these scans will augment a wide range of comparative research topics throughout the Americas and beyond. Reuse potential for these data is significant.
Bringing Purposefulness to the American Law School’s Support of Professional Identity Formation
Authors: Bilionis Louis D.
Published: July 2018

Ten years after the publication of Educating Lawyers, a growing number of American law schools are taking initiative to better support their students in the formation of professional identity. There is widespread recognition that success in these efforts requires an element of “purposefulness” on the part of law faculty and staff. Experiences, environments, and pedagogies that actually work for professional identity formation must be crafted and promoted with intentionality. Bringing the requisite purposefulness to the effort, however, will take a mindset about the education of a lawyer that will be new to many in legal education. This article explores that mindset and the habits of the mind that will best serve law schools as they move forward in this area. Schools need not abandon prevailing approaches to the cognitive and skills dimensions of a law student’s education that Educating Lawyers called the first and second apprenticeships, respectively. But when it comes to the third apprenticeship of professional identity and sense of purpose, a reorientation in thinking about law students, their law school, and the educational process is necessary. That change in the way of thinking can be invigorating and empowering, revealing opportunities with time, talent, space, and experiences that have been underexplored by American legal education.
Limitations of Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Technologies Set by Rapid Growth and Energy Cannibalism
Authors: Pearce Joshua M.
Published: July 2018

As the unacceptable results of continued fossil fuel combustion on climate change become ever clearer, a need to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by aggressive energy conservation and immediate transitioning global civilization to alternative energy sources has become evident. Many energy technologies are capable of displacing significant volumes of fossil fuels. Unfortunately, neither the enormous scale of the current fossil fuel energy system nor the necessary growth rate of these technologies is well understood within the limits imposed by the net energy produced for a growing industry. This technical limitation is known as energy cannibalism and refers to an effect where rapid growth of an entire energy producing or energy efficiency industry creates a need for energy that uses (or cannibalizes) the energy of existing power plants or production plants. Thus during rapid growth, the industry as a whole produces no net energy because new energy (or conserved energy) is used to fuel the embodied energy of future power plants or production facilities. Such life cycle analysis is also valid for GHG emissions. All current technologies are dependent to some degree on fossil fuel energy and thus also contribute to emissions. This paper expands earlier work to generalize the GHG emission neutral growth rate limitation imposed by energy cannibalism to any renewable energy technology or any energy efficiency technology. Conclusions and recommendations are made from the analysis to assist decision makers in optimizing deployment of technologies on large scales to reduce GHG emissions to safe levels without overshoot.

Children’s Sensitivity to Reward Moderates the Association of Negative and Positive Parenting Behaviors in Child ADHD Symptoms
Authors: Li James Janford
Published: July 2018

Atypical reward processing, including abnormal sensitivity to reward and punishment, has long been implicated in the etiology of ADHD. However, little is known about how these facets of behavior interact with positive (e.g., warmth, praise) and negative (e.g., hostility, harsh discipline) parenting behavior in the early expression of ADHD symptoms in young children. Understanding the interplay between children’s reward processing and parenting may be crucial for identifying specific treatment targets in psychosocial interventions for ADHD, especially given that not all children benefit from contingency-based treatments (e.g., parent management training). The study consisted of a community sample of kindergarten children (N = 184, 55% male) and their parents, who completed questionnaires about their parenting practices, their child’s behaviors and participated in an observed parent-child play task in the laboratory. Results showed that children’s sensitivity to reward and punishment were positively associated with child ADHD symptoms. Children’s sensitivity to reward significantly moderated the association of negative and positive parent behaviors on child ADHD symptoms. Children with high sensitivity to reward were less sensitive to variations in parental behavior, whereas children with low sensitivity to reward exhibited fewer ADHD symptoms under conditions of high global (i.e., self-reported) positive parenting, low global negative parenting and low observed negativity. Children’s sensitivity to punishment did not moderate the associations between positive and negative parenting behaviors and child ADHD symptoms. Results provide evidence that atypical reward processing may be an important of marker of risk for ADHD, but also highlights how children’s responses to positive and negative parenting behavior may vary by children’s reward processing. Clinical and treatment implications are discussed.

Some ideologies in learning theory has various characteristics, one of them focus moreto “result” than the learning process itself. While an example of theory which focuse on learning “process” is the cognitive theory. Humanistic theory is focus on “content” or any other things to learn. And many other theories which have certain characters based on the types and will be described completely in this paper. The differences between the characters of those learning theories caused by the various types of learning that observed. There are some high and low stages in the character of learning. There are also some characters of learning such as skill and rationale. So, in evaluating wheter the opinions of those learning theory experts are correct or wrong, we have to understand the certain characteristic related with types of the observed learning.
Maximum-entropy from the probability calculus: exchangeability, sufficiency

Published: July 2018

Maximum-entropy distributions are shown to appear in the probability calculus as approximations of a model by exchangeability or a model by sufficiency, the former model being preferable. The implications of this fact are discussed, together with other questions: Prediction or retrodiction? How good is the maximum-entropy approximation? Is this a "derivation" of maximum-entropy?

Outcome reporting in randomized controlled trials of major depressive disorder treatments in adolescents: a systematic scoping review protocol
Authors: Monsour Andrea , Mew Emma , Szatmari Peter , Patel Sagar , Saeed Leena , Offringa Martin , Butcher Nancy J.
Published: July 2018

Introduction: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common mental health condition in adolescents. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) are the gold-standard for assessing the safety and efficacy of interventions in this population. Heterogeneity in the outcomes measured and reported between RCTs limits the ability to compare, contrast, and combine trial results in a clinically meaningful way. There is currently no core outcome set (COS) available for use in RCTs evaluating interventions in adolescents with MDD. We will conduct a systematic scoping review of outcomes reported in adolescent depression RCTs to assess the variability of trial outcomes and to inform the development of a COS for adolescent MDD. Methods and analysis: We will apply methods based on the Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review methods manual. RCTs evaluating any treatment intervention for adolescent MDD published in the last ten years will be located using an electronic bibliographic database search (MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials). Title and abstract screening, full-text screening, and data charting of eligible studies will be performed in duplicate. Outcomes identified will be mapped to an outcome domain framework. Data analysis will include summary statistics of the characteristics of the included trials and outcomes. Ethics and dissemination: The results of this review will inform the development of a COS for adolescent MDD. The development and implementation of a COS for RCTs evaluating interventions in adolescents with MDD promises to help reduce variability in trial outcome selection, definition, measurement, and reporting, ultimately facilitating evidence synthesis that will help to identify best treatment practices for adolescents with MDD. Registration details: This protocol was registered prospectively with the Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/xjz9u/).

Confidence Calibration in a Multi-year Geopolitical Forecasting Competition
Authors: Moore Don A
Published: July 2018

This research examines the development of confidence and accuracy over time in the context of forecasting. Although overconfidence has been studied in many contexts, little research examines its progression over long periods of time or in consequential policy domains. This study employs a unique data set from a geopolitical forecasting tournament spanning three years in which thousands of forecasters predicted the outcomes of hundreds of events. We sought to apply insights from research to structure the questions, interactions, and elicitations to improve forecasts. Indeed, forecasters’ confidence roughly matched their accuracy. As information came in, accuracy increased. Confidence increased at approximately the same rate as accuracy, and good calibration persisted. Nevertheless, there was evidence of a small amount of overconfidence (3%), especially on the most confident forecasts. Training helped reduce overconfidence and team collaboration improved forecast accuracy. Together, teams and training reduced overconfidence to 1%. Our results provide reason for tempered optimism regarding confidence calibration and its development over time in consequential field contexts.

Love, Language, and Linear Algebra: Linguistic Modeling of Personality and Mate Preference
Authors: Marshall Caleb Z. , Buchanan Erin Michelle , Fallone Melissa Duncan
Published: July 2018

This study utilized Latent Semantic Analysis to determine whether similarities in personality predicted similarities in responses to a romantic writing prompt (Landauer & Dumais, 1997). From participants’ writing samples, we calculated thematic cosines (a measure of relatedness) between each male and female participant. Participants also completed the Big Five Personality Questionnaire Short Form (Morizet, 2014). Extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness were related to cosines, which suggested small-medium relationships from personality traits to written responses. This relationship was consistent with previous studies on mate preference, which suggests that LSA may be useful in quantifying mate preference. We conclude with a discussion of the compatibility survey data and continuous measures in examining complex phenomena in the Behavioral Sciences, such as mate preference.

Published: July 2018

Substance addiction in young adults is particularly problematic. Yet, much remain at stake in understanding the specifics of this population’s access to services. The objective of this study is to explore young adults’ initiation of substance abuse treatment. Our study sample was composed of 35 individuals aged 18 to 30 with problematic psychoactive substance use who have been identified in criminal courts, hospital emergency departments and Health and Social Services Centers in Quebec (Canada). A thematic analysis was performed on the 62 semi-structured interviews conducted with participants. Three components emerged. First, personal elements—expectations, individual motivations, perceptions of use and capacity to control it—influence initiation of substance abuse treatment. Second, family and peers have noticeable influences. Finally, system characteristics and prior care experiences also shape the process. Consideration should be given to tailor interventions that can reach young adults and encourage them to initiate appropriate care.

Investigating journal peer review as scientific object of study: unabridged version – Part II
Authors: Gaudet Joanne
Published: July 2018

The main goal of this paper is to construct journal peer review as a scientific object of study based on historical research into the shaping of its structural properties. This paper is a second in a two-part series. Journal peer review performed in the natural sciences has been an object of study since at least 1830. Researchers mostly implicitly frame it as a rational system with expectations of rational decision-making. This in spite of research debunking rationality where journal peer review can yield low inter-rater reliability, be purportedly biased and conservative, and cannot readily detect fraud or misconduct. Furthermore, journal peer review is consistently presented as a process started in 1665 at the first journals and as holding a gatekeeper function for quality science. In contrast, socio-historical research portrays journal peer review as emulating previous social processes regulating what is to be considered as scientific knowledge (or not) (cf., inquisition, censorship) and early learned societies as engaged in peer review with a legal obligation under censorship. However, to date few researchers have sought to investigate journal peer review beyond a pre-constructed process or self-evident object of study. I construct journal peer review as a scientific object of study with key analytical dimensions: structural properties. I use the concept of social form to capture how individuals relate around a particular content. For the social form of ‘boundary judgement’, content refers to decisions from the judgement of scientific written texts held to account to an overarching knowledge system. Given its roots in censorship with its function of bounding science, I frame journal peer review as following precursor forms of inquisition and censorship. The main implication from insights in the paper is that structural properties in boundary judgement social forms are understood as dynamic when looked at through a historical lens.
Estruturas invisíveis de segregação na Região Metropolitana de Goiânia

Este artigo visa investigar a estrutura invisível de segregação da Região Metropolitana de Goiânia (RMG), a partir das inter-relações entre processos de produção do espaço urbano, princípios de planejamento e dinâmicas populacionais. Essas inter-relações são fundamentais para compreender a estruturação de desigualdades socioeconômicas nas áreas metropolitanas. Realizamos uma análise do processo de formação da estrutura de segregação na região, abordando os diversos planos urbanísticos desenvolvidos para Goiânia. Disponibilizamos uma breve análise de indicadores populacionais com base em dados dos Censos Demográficos de 1950 a 2010 e de indicadores locais de associação espacial em 2010 para caracterizar as diferentes dinâmicas da região. Desenvolvemos uma análise crítica destes aspectos, a fim de identificar e exibir as principais características da formação desta região em um diagrama síntese. Procuramos discutir como esta estrutura espacial resultante contribui para a reprodução de relações sociais segregadas. Os principais resultados indicam que a RMG não possui uma simples centralidade ou uma pluri-centralidade. Há uma série de anéis concêntricos com diferentes tipos de centralidade funcionando em um sistema integrado – mas, não inclusivo – de segregação. Identificamos também tópicos de pesquisas para investigar dinâmicas sociais, demográficas e econômicas que permitem aumentar o entendimento da formação espacial e de planejamento urbano dessa região.
Age, education, and earnings in the course of Brazilian development: Does composition matter?
Authors: Amaral Ernesto F. L. , Potter Joseph E , Hamermesh Daniel , Rios-Neto Eduardo L G
Published: July 2018

The impacts of shifts in the age distribution of the working-age population have been studied in relation to the effect of the baby boom generation on the earnings of different cohorts in the U.S. However, this topic has received little attention in the context of the countries of Asia and Latin America, which are now experiencing substantial shifts in their age-education distributions. In this analysis, we estimate the impact of the changing relative size of the adult male population, classified by age and education groups, on the earnings of employed men living in 502 Brazilian local labor markets during four time periods between 1970 and 2000. Taking advantage of the huge variation across Brazilian local labor markets and demographic census micro-data, we used fixed effects models to demonstrate that age- education group size depresses earnings. These effects are more detrimental among age-education groups with higher education, but they are becoming less negative over time. The decrease in the share of workers with the lowest level of education has not led to gains in the earnings of these workers in recent years. These trends might be a consequence of technological shifts and increasing demand for labor with either education or experience. Compositional shifts are influential, which suggests that this approach could prove useful in studying this central problem in economic development.

Published: July 2018

The study investigated the relationship between teachers’ content knowledge, qualifications, experience and students’ achievement in Chemistry in Otukpo Local Government Area (LGA) of Benue State, Nigeria. The study was guided by two research questions and two hypotheses. A sample of 25 Chemistry teachers and 187 Chemistry students out of a population of 98 Chemistry teachers and 2,897 SSII students respectively from Otukpo LGA of Benue State, Nigeria was used for the study. A validated 50 item Chemistry Teachers’ Content Knowledge Achievement Test (CTCKAT) and 25 item Chemistry Students’ Achievement Test (CSAT) was the instruments used to collect data. Reliability coefficient of 0.78 was established using Pearson Product Correlation. The study adopted an ex-post facto research design. Frequencies, and Percentages were used to answer the research questions and Pearson Correlation Moment Coefficient was used to test the hypotheses. The result indicated among others that there is a strong positive correlation between teachers’ content knowledge scores in Chemistry with students’ achievement scores in Chemistry (r= 0.89), the result also revealed that, there is a strong positive correlation between teachers’ qualifications and students’ achievement scores (r= 0.72), and also there is a positive correlation between teachers’ years of teaching experience and students’ achievement (r= 0.51). The study recommended among others that students’ achievement in Chemistry is likely to improve in Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue State, if teachers engaged to teach chemistry have good content knowledge of Chemistry and good teaching qualifications.

Published: July 2018

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the commodities of potential as a source of carbohydrates and important on Indonesia's economy. One of the constraints of potato production is soft rot disease caused by Erwinia carotovora (syn. Pectobacterium carotovorum) which is needed to be controlled. One alternative control measures is the used of bacteria Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescens for biological control. The purpose of this research is to know the potential of B. subtilis and P. fluorescens in single and in combination to inhibit potato soft rot diseases caused by E. carotovora. The results showed that biological control agents B. subtilis and P. fluorescens in single or in combination both of them (T3 to T17) have potential in inhibiting the growth of pathogenic E. carotovora by showing the clear zone. Biological agents provides nearly the same effect if compared with the bactericide Agrept (T2). Based on the results of the statistical analysis, the treatment 11th and treatment 14th showed a clear zone wider than the Agrept treatment (T2). The treatment 11th contain combination of biological agents B. subtilis (10 cfu/ml) and P. fluorescens (105 cfu/ml), while the treatment 14th contain combination of biological agents B. subtilis (107 cfu/ml) and P. fluorescens (105 cfu/ml)

We define and study the properties of Darboux-type transformations between Sturm–Liouville problems with boundary conditions containing rational Herglotz–Nevanlinna functions of the eigenvalue parameter (including the Dirichlet boundary conditions). Using these transformations, we obtain various direct and inverse spectral results for these problems in a unified manner, such as asymptotics of eigenvalues and norming constants, oscillation of eigenfunctions, regularized trace formulas, and inverse uniqueness and existence theorems.

Fertility improvement of Ultisol is inevitable to increase growth and yield of chili pepper since the nutrient availability and organic matter of this soil is relatively low. Application of organic fertilizer will enhance microorganism activity in soil, thereafter will improve the availability of nutrients as well as other chemical, physical, biological properties of the soil. Most of manure releases nutrient quite slowly; therefore, addition of nitrogen to soil is expected to speed up the availability of nutrient to plant. Weed based organic fertilizers from Wedelia (Wedelia trilobata) and Siam weed (Chromolaena odorata) biomass have potential to substitute inorganic fertilizer. The objective of the experiment was to compare the effects of weed based organic compost and dry leaves compost with or without addition of nitrogen fertilizer on growth and yield of chili pepper. The experiment was carried out using Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with treatments of 200 kg urea ha-1; Wedelia compost (WDC) 20 ton ha-1; WDC 15, 10, and 5 ton ha-1 with addition of 200 kg urea ha-1 respectively; Siam weed compost (SWC) 20 ton ha-1, SWC 15, 10, and 5 ton ha-1 with addition of 200 kg urea ha-1 respectively; and dry leaves compost (DLC) 20 ton ha-1, DLC 15, 10, and 5 ton ha-1 with addition of 200 kg urea ha-1 respectively. The result revealed that composts with or without addition of nitrogen fertilizer had similar responses on the growth of chili pepper. Wedelia and Siam weeds compost at 20 ton ha-1 tended to give better yield of chili pepper as compared to application of urea alone. This result indicated that weed based organic fertilizers could substitute nitrogen fertilizer.
Distributive justice, stability, and sustainable water resources management
Authors: Jeffrey Paul
Published: July 2018

The problem of stability in distributive justice arrangements is a contemporary theme of interest to students of political and environmental theory. Progress on translating theoretical insights into practical tools has, however, been impeded by an incongruence between the subject’s prescriptive and descriptive traditions. In this contribution, a literature review is used to outline the issue of stability and its characterisation as a desirable societal attribute by theorists, and to discuss the emerging complex model of distributive justice behaviour as exposed by empirical research. Incongruences between the two fields as they relate to the promotion of stability is highlighted and concepts of requisite variety are proposed as a framework within which the complex model may be exploited in order to promote stability. The ramifications of this framework for the distributive justice research agenda and appropriate resource distribution policies are explored using water resources as a focus for debate.
WUJUD AKULTURASI ARSITEKTUR PADA ASPEK FUNGSI, BENTUK, DAN MAKNA BANGUNAN GEREJA KRISTEN PNIEL BLIMBINGSARI DI BALI
Authors: Arsitektur ARTEKS Jurnal Teknik , Yusuf Stephanie Arvina
Published: July 2018

Saat ajaran Kristen Protestan masuk ke Desa Blimbingsari, Bali merupakan awal proses percampuran antara budaya lokal dan pendatang. Percampuran antara budaya lokal dengan pendatang ini membentuk akulturasi dalam wujud arsitektur. Hal ini terwujud pada arsitektur komplek Gereja Kristen Pniel Blimbingsari, Bali. Bentuk bangunan Gereja bukan lagi seperti gambaran pada umumnya dan memiliki bentuk yang unik dibandingkan bangunan Gereja lain di Pulau Bali. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwasannya Gereja Kristen Pniel Blimbingsari mengalami proses akulturasi pada arsitektur bangunan dan lingkungan tapaknya. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap wujud akulturasi yang terjadi dilihat dari aspek fungsi, bentuk dan makna bangunannya. Metoda yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yakni bersifat deskriptif, analitis, dan intepretatif berdasarkan studi di lapangan dan bukti empiris. Pendekatan yang dilakukan berlandas pada teori Konsep Asta Kosala Kosali Bali, Arsitektur Gereja Kristen, dan archetypes dalam arsitektur yang dikolaborasikan dengan aspek fungsi, bentuk, dan makna arsitektur. Hasil studi menyimpulkan bahwasannya terjadi relasi antara fungsi, bentuk dan makna yang menyiratkan dominasi pada wujud arsitektur yang terakulturasi. Aspek dominan dalam arsitektur pada penelitian ini merupakan hasil dari intepretasi percampuran dua aspek/konsep yang berbeda dalam satu wujud arsitektur. Konsep aristektur tradisonal Bali (Asta Kosala Kosali) memiliki peran yang dominan dalam membentuk Gereja Kristen Pniel Blimbingsari tanpa mengubah pakem liturgi dan kebutuhan pada fungsi suatu komplek Gereja Kristen Protestan. Studi ini diharapkan dapat memberikan manfaat sebagai rujukan kasus serupa yakni akulturasi dan dapat menyumbangkan pengetahuan dalam ranah arsitektur.Kata kunci: Akulturasi, arsitektur, gereja, fungsi, bentuk, makna.
