Published: September 2019

Yoga is a search for tourists in Bali tourism which is spread in some destinations in Bali such as in Ubud, Seminyak and Sanur. This search for yoga is a form of health search that is different from the purpose of yoga to achieve moksha (eternal happiness). This gap raises research questions about the form of yoga secularization in Bali tourism. This article reviews the form of yoga secularization in Balinese tourism according to the theory of historical materialism which states that the basic principle of change is matter. This article is based on qualitative research carried out in series in 2016 and 2017. The result is that the form of yoga secularization in Balinese tourism occurs through changes in orientation to health, changes in yoga techniques to healing techniques, exchange with money, and the use of science-technology. Changes are forms of secularization in yoga.
PENGGUNAAN METODE MENGAJAR DI PAUD DALAM RANGKA MENUMBUHKAN MINAT BELAJAR ANAK
Authors: Tanu I Ketut
Published: September 2019

ABSTRAK
Tidak ada metode mengajar yang tepat diterapkan pada setiap pembelajaran akibatnya, metode pembelajaran anak PAUD sebagai metode pembelajaran PAUD adalah yang Efektif dan Menyenangkan. Sebab semua bisa mengajar namun belum tentu bisa mengajar di TK atau PAUD. Mengajar PAUD berarti mengajar anak yang sedang ada di masa usia keemasannya (golden age).Sebuah masa dimana potensi anak sedang berkembang dan saat yang tepat untuk membuatnya menjadi seorang pembelajar yang mandiri dan haus pengetahuan. Bagi anak, bermain merupakan suatu kegiatan yang sifatnya melekat langsung pada kodrat dan kebutuhan perkembangan anak. Pemahaman tentang pembelajaran anak usia dini dengan bermain, saat ini diharapkan sudah lebih dipahami para pengelola, pendidik atau pemerhati. Disamping itu lingkungan kondusif juga diperlukan bagi anak dengan pengertian lingkungan kondusif adalah lingkungan yg menstimulasi agar anak bisa dan mampu menjadi pembelajar yg mandiri. Selain melalui bermain, memperhatikan cara anak berpikir, cara anak bermain, dan cara anak berbicara adalah keseharian guru PAUD. Oleh karena itu penguasaan metode-metode pembelajaran anak usia dini merupakan salah satu kompetensi yang harus dimiliki guru/tutor agar proses pembelajaran tersebut dapat mendorong perkembangan anak, baik perkembangan intelektual, fisik maupun emosionalnya. Dengan menguasai metode pembelajaran, selain tentunya kemampuan lainnya, seorang guru/ tutor dapat mengelola proses pembelajaran sesuai dengan tujuan yang hendap dicapainya, yaitu kemampuan-kemampuan yang diharapkan dimiliki oleh anak

Gothic "Voodoo" in Africa and Haiti
Authors: Montgomery Eric James
Published: September 2019

This paper seeks to historicize and demystify “Voodoo” religion in Africa and Haiti while also drawing comparisons and contrasts to concepts and themes related to “the gothic”. What is assumed to be “supernatural” or “paranormal” in Western and Gothic circles has long been a part of everyday reality for many peoples of African descent and devotees of Vodun in Western Africa and Vodou in Haiti. Tropes that are essential to realms of the gothic (supernatural characters, mystery, the macabre, spirits, and paranormal entities) — are also central to the cosmology and liturgy of so-called “Voodoo”. As “the gothic” undergoes a resurgence in academic and popular cultures, so too does “Voodoo” religion. And yet, both terms continue to be conflated by popular culture, and by equating “voodoo” with “the gothic”, the true spirt of both concepts become confounded. A certain racialized Eurocentric hegemony devalues one of the world’s least understood religions (“Voodoo”) by equating it with equally distorted concepts of “the gothic”. As globalization transforms society, and the neo-liberal order creates more uncertainty, the continued distortion of both terms continues. Vodun does more than just speak to the unknown, it is an ancient organizing principle and way of life for millions of followers. Vodou/Vodun are not cognates of the “American Zombie gothic”, but rather, are a mode of survival and offer a way of seeing and being in an unpredictable world.
“The ugliness of my surroundings”: Tip Marugg’s Ecogothic Poetics of Isolation
Authors: Arbino Daniel
Published: September 2019

In this paper I argue that Curaçaoan author Tip Marugg’s use of ecogothic articulates a postcolonial sense of insular alienation for his white protagonists in Weekend Pilgrimage (1957) and The Roar of Morning (1988). His depiction of the Dutch Caribbean environment as decadent and hostile facilitates an atmosphere in which his characters become untethered from the structures that empowered them. Marugg’s narrative techniques regarding the gothic rely on postcolonial critiques of the island of Curaçao’s racial hierarchy, the oil industry as a product of sustained colonization for the sake of globalization, and tourism as a product of neocolonialism. The environment’s opposition abounds through images of haunting winds, suicidal birds, sea monsters, and widespread destruction that serve to criticise societal changes that isolate the protagonists. Because I suggest that Marugg’s ecocriticism is implicated within a larger question of belonging as it pertains to race and class in Curaçao, I will conclude by considering how his contemporary Frank Martinus Arion employs nature in Double Play (1998). That is to say, whereas Marugg’s white protagonists are often the target of the island’s ecosystem, Arion’s interaction with the natural environment espouses a sentiment of belonging for his Afro-Curaçaoan protagonist that ultimately positions Afro-Curaçaoans as stewards of the island’s future.
The Tropical Gothic and Beyond: El Grupo de Cali’s Legacies for Contemporary Latin American Literature, Cinema, and Culture
Authors: Gómez G. Felipe
Published: September 2019

The creation and development of a tropical gothic is arguably the most important legacy of El Grupo de Cali, an interdisciplinary collective led by writer and film critic Andrés Caicedo Estela, and filmmakers Carlos Mayolo and Luis Ospina, during the 1970s in Colombia. In El Grupo’s tropical gothic, the conventions of the literary and cinematic gothic undergo a process of transculturation and tropicalization. With this transformation, Caicedo, Mayolo and Ospina postulate a dark reality that is urban and violent, and in which youth have protagonist roles both as agents and victims of violence. The revival of the monster within this tropical gothic reveals itself as intrinsically linked not only to the influence of cinematic tropes such as Hollywood B-series vampire films, but also to the connections between local myths and legends and forms of structural violence rooted in socioeconomic, political, racial and sexual oppression. Beyond the development of a tropical gothic aesthetic, the innovations of Caicedo’s literary writing include the insistence in locating youthful characters in urban, countercultural scenarios defined by elements of popular culture such as film, popular music, or drugs. These characteristics effectively locate his writings on the flip side of magical realism and act as complements to the Grupo’s tropical gothic in their efforts to narrate the experience of the modern tropical Latin American city.
Love, death and laughter in the city of different angels: S.P. Somtow’s Bangkok Gothic
Authors: Ancuta Katarzyna
Published: September 2019

S.P. Somtow’s novel The Other City of Angels (2008) portrays Bangkok as a Gothic metropolis: a city stuck between illusion and reality, where dreams and nightmares come to life, simultaneously backwards and modern, spiritual and material, and full of peculiarities that make one doubt whether such a place exists at all. It is a temple to consumerism filled with fortune tellers and high society serial killers that for Somtow, a composer himself, can best be expressed through the jarringly haunting sounds of Béla Bartók’s music. The Other City of Angels (2008) is a modern retelling of the Gothic tale of Bluebeard’s wife and her fatal discovery of her husband’s dark secret, and – true to its Gothic origins – it is filled with romance, terror, and laughter. This paper focuses on the novel’s comic dimension and discusses Somtow’s use of dark humour and the Gothic grotesque as a strategy to exoticize Bangkok for foreign readers by simultaneously reinforcing and defying Western stereotypes of Bangkok as the Oriental city, once (in)famously described in the Longman dictionary as the city of temples and prostitutes (Independent, 6 July 1993). The paper also explores the way comic elements are used to offset the critical commentary on class division and social inequality that are seen as ingrained in the fabric of Thai culture and further aggravated by the materialism and consumerism characteristic of contemporary Thai society.

Learning achievement that is currently being assessed, generally focusing only on cognitive domain, this is certainly contradicting to the term of assessment that should be done in accordance with learning achievement stated in curriculum. Authentic assessment needs right instrument to assess learning achievement. One of the instruments needed is assessment rubric. The rubric that currently been used does not have the same standard, which is not accordance with the principals of assessment. Based on that study, the assessment rubric is developed, consisting four components; job description, scale, dimension, and dimension description. The data was descriptively analyzed. Analysis of suitability of developed rubric was empirically tested to 98 students. The result showed validity of rubric using factor analysis is between 0.29 � 0.96, the reliability judgement using Cronbach alfa coefficient is 0.85 for argumentation skill and presentation skill, and 0.86 for problem solving skill and journal analysis.Keywords: authentic; rubric; validity; reliability.

Pulse Shaped Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Under Magic Angle Spinning
Authors: EQUBAL ASIF , Tagami Kan , Han Songi
Published: September 2019

In this paper, we report on an entirely novel way of improving the MAS-DNP efficiency by shaped μw pulse train irradiation for fast and broad-banded (FAB) saturation of the electron spin resonance. FAB-DNP achieved with Arbitrary Wave Generated shaped μw pulse trains facilitates effective and selective saturation of a defined fraction of the total electron spins, and provides superior control over the DNP efficiency under MAS. Experimental and quantum-mechanics based numerically simulated results together demonstrate that FAB-DNP significantly outperforms CW-DNP when the EPR-line of PAs is broadened by conformational distribution and exchange coupling. We demonstrate that the maximum benefit of FAB DNP is achieved when the electron spin-lattice relaxation is fast relative to the MAS frequency, i.e. at higher temperatures and/or when employing metals as PAs. Calculations predict that under short T1e conditions AWG-DNP can achieve as much as ~4-fold greater enhancement compared to CW-DNP.
Hierarchical Assembly of DNA Origami Nanostructures Using Coiled-coil Peptides
Authors: Buchberger Alex , Simmons Chad , Fahmi Nour , Freeman Ronit , Stephanopoulos Nicholas
Published: September 2019

DNA and peptides are two of the most commonly used biomolecules for building self-assembling materials, but few examples exist of hybrid nanostructures that contain both components. Here we report the modification of two peptides that comprise a coiled-coil heterodimer pair with orthogonal DNA handles in order to link DNA origami nanostructures bearing complementary strands into micrometer long one-dimensional arrays. We probed the effect of number of coils on self-assembly and demonstrated the formation of self-assembled structures through multiple routes, to form dimers and trimers, an alternating copolymer of two different origami bundles, and stepwise assembly of purified structures with coiled-coil conjugates. Our results demonstrate the successful merging of two distinct self-assembly modes to create hybrid bionanomaterials expected to have a range of potential applications in the future.
Agency of Littoral Society: Reconsidering Medieval Swahili Port Towns with Written Evidence
Authors: Suzuki Hideaki
Published: September 2019

Michael Pearson has contributed greatly to maritime history in the Indian Ocean World, focusing on what he calls the “littoral society.” He argues for the importance of observing how the land and the sea connect each other. Following his argument, this article explores agency in medieval Swahili port towns. Recent developments in archaeological studies have revealed the complex relationships between the land and the sea in East Africa. However, there are certain issues archaeological evidence could not explain. Drawing on archaeological studies as a reference and also studies on Southeast Asian ports for comparison, this article seeks to explore medieval Arabic literature, virtually the only available written material, to consider the case of the medieval Swahili coast.
From Littoral to Ozone: On Mike Pearson’s Contributions to Indian Ocean History

In this article I examine two of Michael Pearson’s most important contributions to our understanding of Indian Ocean history: the concept of the littoral, which he first articulated in his seminal article on “Littoral society: the case for the coast” in The Great Circle 7, no. 1 (1985): 1-8, and his comment in The Indian Ocean (London and New York: Routledge, 2003, p. 9) that “I want it to have a whiff of ozone.” Accordingly, I review Pearson’s publications to see how he has written about these two notions and how they have influenced historical scholarship about the Indian Ocean.

Historiography of National Movement: A Case of ‘Indian India’
Authors: Sabnis Maitree Vaidya
Published: September 2019

Modern Indian historians has focused most of its attention on writing history of British India and discourses on the princely states or ‘Indian India’ was left to the margins. The Princely states which consisted of at least half of population and region in the pre-independent times did not experience the strength of national movement. There were two contradictory responses from the states. On the one hand the rulers were believed to be in cahoots with the colonial government and on the other people of some of the princely states went against their own rulers and supported the Indian national movement. This paper highlights various writings on the idea of nationalism in the princely states and its binary responses.

It is believed that Buh, soul is not born and does not die since it originates from Tingkao Ragwang, the Supreme God. The life and death of man is indicated by the presence or absence of soul. After the disintegration of physical body, human soul goes to Taroilam, the land of death where he will face the judements given by Taroigwang, the king of the dead based on his past deeds. The pious soul will be sent to Tingkao Kaidai, Heaven where he will remain in peace forever. While the good soul who did less bad and more good will be permitted to live in Taroilam. The sinner will be sent to Thuntadijang, a stage of degraded form of life which is almost equivalent to the extinction of life. However, there is no concept of hell and permanent extinction of life in Zeliangrong indigenous religion known as Tingkao Ragwang Chapriak.
