Culinary Acculturation Strategy at Dapur Babah Elite & Tao Bar Restaurant

Cultural acculturation has brought changes on culinary as it is seen in a restaurant called Dapur Babah Elite & Tao Bar. This restaurant is the acculturation manifestation of Chinese, Javanese and Dutch cultures. The research aims to figure out acculturation strategies found in the culinary arts at Dapur Babah Elite & Tao Bar. The approach used in the research is a descriptive qualitative approach by using John W. Berry theory (2005). Data collection techniques were obtained from observations, interviews, and documentation. Based on the analysis result, the naming of Dapur Babah restaurant was inspired by Peranakan (crossbreed) culture in the past. It is also known that there are two kinds of acculturation strategies found, those are integration and assimilation strategies. Culinary that used integration strategy covers Babah mixed rice, hong chicken (red braised chicken), Semarang spring rolls, and Peranakan fried rice. Whereas, culinary that used assimilation strategy was Babah pongteh chicken (braised chicken in fermented soy bean sauce) and lontong Cap Go Meh (rice cake with mixed condiments).

Between integration and assimilation. Ukrainian students in Polish schools

The aim of this article was to make an attempt to outline the perception of the acculturation process of Ukrainian children in Polish schools in their parents. Applying Berry's theory of acculturation, it was demonstrated that the systemic solutions concerning the education of children of a national minority in public institutions are rooted in the classical model of assimilation. The attitudes of the children’s parents who came to Poland for work or to escape war also indicate a desire to assimilate their children in the school environment as soon as possible, and at the same time to separate them in the home environment or in the group of compatriots.

Acculturation strategies, age at migration, and self-rated health: An empirical study on internal migrants in China

Berry's bidimensional acculturation model categorizes acculturation status (integration, assimilation, separation, marginalization) by preference toward host and origin cultures. According to Berry's theory, different acculturation strategies yield different health outcomes, and age at migration moderates the relationship between acculturation and health outcome. Previous research has applied this model to understand acculturation's influence on international migrants' health outcomes, but rarely for internal migrants. This research examines these relationships using a national survey on Chinese internal migrants. Using propensity score weighting, the results align with previous findings that integration strategy-using migrants reported optimal health status, separation/assimilation strategy-using migrants reported suboptimal health, and marginalization strategy-using migrants reported the worst health, suggesting the model can explain health disparities among internal migrants. Moreover, older age at migration deteriorates health outcomes and moderates health disparities among migrants employing different acculturation strategies. However, age at migration's moderating effect is significant only among inter-provincial migrants. Embracing the host society inhibits health deterioration among inter-provincial migrants with older age at migration, whereas rejecting or embracing both societies facilitates health deterioration among intra-provincial migrants.

Inovasi Peningkatan Kualitas Pelayanan Publik dalam Penerapan Sistem Check-In dan Boarding Pass pada PT KAI DAOP I Jakarta (Studi Kasus Layanan Check In dan Boarding Pass di Stasiun Senen Jakarta)

Abstract
 The purpose of this study is to analyze and examine the innovations in improving the quality of public services in the application of the check-in and boarding pass systems at Pasar Senen Jakarta Station. As for the background of the implementation of the check-in and boarding pass system is to remember the need for people to use train services every year is increasing, while the fact is that many people take advantage of this situation with the practice of brokering fake tickets. Besides that, PT. KAI wants to increase its work productivity by implementing innovations to improve the quality of public services that prioritize modern technology. The research method used in this study is a qualitative method using descriptive research. The focus of this study uses indicators according to Zeithamal Parasuraman Berry's theory (in Hariyanto (2013: 17) there are five dimensions of public service quality that can be used to measure the quality of public services, namely: a) Direct evidence (tangibles). B) Reliability (reliability) .c ) Responsiveness. d) Guarantee and. e) Empathy. Data collection techniques used were observation, interviews and documentation. Based on the results of this study indicate that innovation in improving public services in the application of the Check-In and Boarding Pass system is quite good, when compared to self-ticket printing (CTM) it can be seen from interviews with service officers and service users that an increase in the quality of public services every year. Besides that, in terms of the efficiency of the prospective train passengers will feel facilitated by the service that is fast and precise and not convoluted, so that prospective train passengers feel quite satisfied with the results of services provided by PT. KAI DAOP I, Pasar Senen Station Jakarta.

Local Study of the Causes of Labor Migration in the City of Krasnoyarsk (October-November 2015)

The results of the local study of the causes and attendant circumstances of labor migration in the city of Krasnoyarsk are presented in the article. The study was conducted in October and November 2015. The main method of research is questionnaires. The concepts of acculturation, inculturation and acculturation shock, introduced in the conception of the well-known Canadian and American sociologist J. Berry were theoretical foundation of the study. Based on J. Berry's theory and empirical research, conclusions about the peculiarities of the migration process in the city of Krasnoyarsk have been made.

Selection rule and efficiency for autoionization of diazabicyclooctane as studied by two-color double-resonance spectroscopy

Photoelectron spectra due to autoionization for two series of high Rydberg states have been observed for diazabicyclooctane (DABCO) in a supersonic jet. The selection rule of the autoionization has been found to be ..delta..v = -1 for each vibrational mode involved in the Rydberg states, consistent with Berry's theory available for the vibrational autoionization of a polyatomic molecule. The relative autoionization efficiencies Phi/sub a/ for the high Rydberg series have also been determined from two-color MPI and fluorescence dip spectra. The irregular variation of Phi/sub a/ with the principal quantum number n has been found for the two Rydberg series, suggesting the irregular variation in their nonradiative rates

The Orders of Central Functions and the Hierarchical Central Places System

Vining argued that a hierarchy of central places did not exist and verified that the class system of central places derived from a previous partitioning of an array which appeared as differentiation along a continuum. However, between 1958 and 1967, a number of important papers were published by Berry, Garrison, Barnumn, and Tennant. These papers dealt with taxonomic methods for the empirical study of the hierarchical class system and the extention of central place theory into a more general theory of tertiary activities, Berry's central place theory.In his Snohomish County study, the hierarchical class system of central places was shown to follow from the class system of central functions on the basis of their ranked threshold populations. Furthermore, in his southwest Iowa study, the orders of entry of central functions into central places were presented, using factor analysis. Berry has introduced the concept of threshold as the basis of grouping of central functions and has attemped to reform Christaller's central place theory without the assumption of uniformity concerning purchasing power which was basic to a hexagonal complementary region. The argument requires the concepts of range and threshold which are related to Christaller's concepts of outer and inner limits of the range of a good respectively. But it appears that Berry's central place theory depends on the incorrect interpretation of Christaller's theory. In Berry's theory, the development of a hierarchy depends on the existence of certain range of a good (the trade area of a marginal hierarchical good), related to the threshold size which is the minimum amounts of purchasing power for the supply of a marginal hierarchical good, similar to the lower limit of the range of a good. On the other hand, in Christaller's theory, it depends on the size of a complementary region related to the outer limit of the range of a marginal hierarchical good, which is based on the concept of a hexagonal complementary region. The hierarchical structure, the relation between the orders of central functions and the levels of central places, does not depend on the concepts of range and threshold, but on the concepts of range and complementary region.In agreement with this interpretation of the hierarchical structure, the aim of this paper is to propose the procedure for grouping of 60 central functions by factor analysis, and to show that the orders of central functions are distinct from the groups of central functions.The methods of analysis and the results are as follows.(1) As the results of applications of factor analysis to three kinds of data matrices consisting of the incidence matrix, the establishment matrix, and the central place matrix, it is only in the factor analysis of the central place matrix that factors reveal clearly a distinctive factor pattern. In the central place matrix, sizes of central places are ranked in the column on the base of numbers of functions performed and 60 central functions are ranked in the rows.(2) The factor analysis of the central place matrix with 60 variables (central functions) yields three factors which indicate the presence of three orders of central functions. i.e. lower-middle-higher central functions. In spite of the extractions of three factors, all central functions can not be grouped in three class systems by factor lordings or correlations of 60 variables with each of three factors, for some central functions are under the influence of two or three factors.(3) Similarly, the factor analysis of the central place matrix with 48 variables (sizes of central places) yields three factors which indicate the presence of three levels of central places, i.e. lower-middle-higher central places, and all central functions can be grouped in eight class systems.
