The quality of teachers in Sumatra and Java is generally low, particularly in terms of their creativity and innovation in teaching. It is built by the lack of teacher?s preparation and the lack of communication between parents and teachers. The excellence of elementary teacher in Sumatra and Java is the using of tools and examples in facilitating students in ?understanding teachers and teaching materials’. The awareness of the absence of students in class is also become an indicator as well. The quality of primary school teachers in Java is generally better than in Sumatra, especially in terms of creativity and innovation of teaching and concern for student attendance. Meanwhile, the quality of elementary school teachers in Sumatra is good in terms of allocation of time for teaching preparation. Human capital and social capital as an important capital improvement of the quality of teachers has not been fully utilized by the teacher, caused by the low education and training accounts for the poor quality of teachers. Meanwhile the income and experience of teachers do not have a significant impact on the quality of teachers, especially elementary teachers in Sumatra. Social networks are institutionalized in the form of KKG are not utilized to improve quality. The poor dedication and the norms of teacher resulted preparation teachers teach in poor quality. read more

Humans are social beings who require interaction with others in order to survive. In the process of interaction among people, which is then called as ‘community’, it needs the role of government as regulatory authorities. The Government is expected to perform its role and function professionally, therefore along with the rapidly changing environment the government is required to always make innovations on its concept to serve the community. One of the innovations made by the government of Yogyakarta City to serve its residents is the establishment of Information and Complaint Service Unit (UPIK). It is a unit which plays a role as information technology-based communication media that can be accessed by public to ask for information and to voice their aspirations, feedbacks, criticism and complaints. This unit is the implementation of good governance program in enhancing national resilience. Good governance entails sound public sector management (efficiency, effectiveness and economy), accountability, the exchange and free flow of information (transparency) and a legal framework for development (justice, respect for human rights and liberties). It has been shaped by three main models, which are: (a) public administration; (b) public management; and (c) governance. While public administration can be defined as all the processes, organizations and individuals associated with carrying out laws and other rules adopted or issued by the legislature, executive and courts, public management is a global reform movement that redefines the relationship between government and society. In this administration element, the state is considered of how they provide services to their citizens. The Good Governance?s scope could not be separated from the conception of national resilience where political and economic aspects are two of eight gatras (principal) of national resilience. Based on the administrative aspect, all gatras in national resilience require good management, transparency, and accountability in accordance with the principles of good governance. So that, it cannot be denied that the administrative aspect plays an important role in realizing the national resilience of a country. On the other hand, considering that a state is administratively divided into smaller regions (provinces), the national resilience of one country also highly depends on the national resilience of each province. Therefore, the administration management is very important in achieving the province?s resilience in which it will support the national resilience of a country. read more

In 2009, Budy Resosudarmo and Frank Jotzo wrote about the challenges of fighting poverty in the Nusa Tenggara Timur through sustainable policies. Environmental pressures and degradation present significant limitations to socio-economic development, vulnerability and adaptation measures. Even when new mentalities in terms of sustainability and community based resource management guide many of these goals and efforts, at the local scale implementations result in the failure or partial completion of objectives. In this article, I discuss the institutional and socio-cultural contexts that explain policies to incentivize marine resource use and extraction among small scale fisheries in Ende, Flores, Indonesia. I also discuss the plans that are being developed by NGOs and by the provincial government to introduce alternative livelihood programs. The Ende regency has experienced irregular intensification of its fishing effort over the last twenty years resulting in the entrenchment of inequality and wealth distribution in coastal villages. It has also become, next to socio-economic and environmental uncertainty, a pressure that has paradoxically prevented the eradication of non sustainable fishing techniques like dynamite and cyanide fishing. Through ethnographic (participant observation, interviews) and ecological tools, I analyze how decentralization, isolation and corruption impede real co-participatory mechanisms from being developed at the local level. The lack of political agency, external mining pressures and the absence of economic opportunities converge in migration and further pauperization. I conclude by underscoring the importance of a political ecology approach to the study of conservation policies and climate change adaptation measures. read more

The research aims to develop models of the determination of the level of recovery in rural areas that Merapi Disaster Prone. The study was conducted in 91 villages spread over four districts of Sleman, Klaten, Magelang and Boyolali. The results showed that as many as 18% of villages had a high level of damage, while the level of resilience of rural areas as much as 35.16% higher. Recovery model region is determined by four main components of household economic capacity factor; factor the potential non-farm activities, agricultural potential factor, and the accessibility factor. The main determinant factor is the economic levels of society. The study recommends a priority against 11% of villages with the level of damage is high and recovery low, while the recovery of rural areas is done by economic empowwerment and the potential for regional economic communities. read more

The definition of cultural heritage now includes historic urban areas, vernacular heritage, cultural landscapes (tangible heritage, which include natural and cultural sites), and even living dimensions of heritage and all aspects of the physical and spiritual relationship between human societies and their environment (intangible heritage). Therefore, the disaster related conservation of cultural heritage area become important part of disaster management. Kotagede, the historical old capital of the 16th century Mataram Empire, located in earthquake and fire hazard prone area. The area is densely populated area with narrow connecting road, which increases vulnerability. In the 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake, Kotagede was severely affected. A lot of people were killed and almost all historical building damaged and destroyed. Therefore, disaster risk reduction became an important thing that has to be integrated in the development planning of Kotagede cultural heritage area. In the implementation of disaster risk reduction in development planning of Kotagede cultural heritage area, community participation become important factor. This is due to community participation in this will be improve the local capacity of the community itself so it can support prevention and conservation of cultural heritage from high risk. It?s also urgent to integrate local wisdom such as gotong royong in this effort. This research aims to mapping the evacuation sites, evacuation route, hydrants placement, and vulnerable groups by involving local community. This study conducted in Jagalan Village, Sub District of Banguntapan, Bantul Regency. The data collected by Focus Group Discussion method, and processed using GIS software. The result was integrative maps that can be used for determining disaster risk reduction planning. The results shows that the evacuation sites and evacuation routes that can be designed in Kotagede cultural heritage area is limited. This is caused by the condition of area which categorized as densely populated area. Limited public space has caused limitation in designated evacuation sites, Distance between houses which is very close has caused accessibility for evacuation routes became difficult due to very narrow street. Therefore, a solution that can be used to solve evacuation is using the branching model for determining evacuation sites and route. read more

The literary texts produced in the centers of Java kingdom in the 18th and 19th centuries, especially from Yogyakarta palace, was iluminated with a lot of very beatiful and diverse. The beutify and diversity of the illumination can not be seperated from the role of the palace as a protector in the production of manuscripts. Illumination is important to be studied as one of the efforts to uncover the traditional art forms in Indonesia. This paper would analyze the form, style, function, and meaning of literary text illumination produced in the palace during the height of the development of the arts, politically at the same time the kingdom is not powerless against the dominance of the colonial government. Illumination is also a synthesis between the elements of pre-Islamic Javanese culture with Islamic values. Literary texts from the palace typically were illuminated with beautiful and diverse making them more beautiful and valuable. Each manuscript was illuminated with the different form. Illumination graced on many pages. The beauty and diversity of the illumination was a form of kingdom?s role as protector or supporter in the production of the manuscripts. Illumination of manuscripts serves to: (1) beautify the manuscripts, enhance the value, dignity, and sanctity; (2) symbolize royal power domination through the use of styles that symbolize the power and greatness of the king. read more

Dengue virus (DV) infection is an endemic disease in tropical and subtropical countries especially Indonesia. Secondary infections with different serotype of dengue virus may cause severe clinical manifestations such as dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Vaccine development is the promising approach for DV infection prevention. Challenge associated with development of tetravalent subunit vaccines led many researches to improve recombinant vaccines for overcoming this disease. Pre membrane and envelope genes (prM/ E) have been reported as an immunogenic antigen. Several studies revealed that prM/E could give higher immune responses than either structural or non structural proteins. Development of subunit vaccines base on Indonesian local circulating DV is challenging. In this study, prM/ E genes of DENV serotype 3 will be cloned into pET-32b and transforms into E. Coli DH5? then expressed in E. Coli BL21. Western Blot method will be used to detect prM/ E protein and predict epitomes to B cell and T cell using B Cell Epitome Prediction Tools and Genetyx. read more
