Balancing Yield and Environmental Impact: Nitrogen Management and Planting Density for Rice in Southwest China

With growing concerns about global warming, it is crucial to adopt agronomic practices that enhance rice yields from paddy fields while reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for sustainable agriculture. An optimal nitrogen (N) fertilization rate and planting density are vital to ensure high rice yields, minimize GHG emissions, and understand emission behavior for better field management. We hypothesized that optimizing N application rates and planting density to improve nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in rice cultivation would reduce resource losses and GHG emissions. To test this hypothesis, we implemented five treatments with a rice straw return cultural system: two planting densities (16 hills m−2 (traditional density, D1) and 20 hills m−2 (25% higher density, D2)) and three N application rates (no N fertilizer (N0), 180 kg N ha−1 (N1), and 144 kg N ha−1 (N2)). The control treatment (CK) was traditional planting density with no N fertilizer. The four new cropping modes were N1D1, N1D2, N2D1, and N2D2. We investigated the effects of N application rates and planting density on rice grain yield, NUE, and GHG emissions in multiple rice-growing seasons. The N1D2 treatment exhibited the highest grain yield over the three years, with a value of 10,452 kg ha−1, representing an increase of 12.2% compared to CK. Moreover, N uptake in N1D2 was the highest, averaging 39.2% (p < 0.05) higher than CK, and 8.5%, 3.5%, and 2.8% (p < 0.05) higher than N1D1, N2D1 and N2D2, respectively. N2D2 exhibited the highest NUE, with a value of 58.99 kg kg−1, surpassing all other treatments over the three years. GHG emissions, global warming potential (GWP), and greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI) in N2D2 were lower than in N1D1, N1D2, and N2D1. Additionally, reducing N application (comparing N1D1 to N2D1) and increasing plant density (comparing N1D1 to N1D2) improved N agronomic efficiency (NAE) and N partial productivity (PFPN). The negative correlation between the NAE and PFPN with GWP and GHG emissions further supports the potential for optimized N management and denser planting density to reduce environmental impact. These findings have important implications for sustainable rice cultivation practices in Southwest China and similar agroecosystems, emphasizing the need for integrated nutrient management strategies to achieve food security and climate change mitigation goals.

The misappropriation of knowledge: unravelling the narratives of efficiency and donor fear in the medicalisation of reproduction for lesbian and bisexual women

The intersection between the feminist movement and the LGBTQIA + movement regarding assisted reproductive techniques has fostered greater openness towards the reproductive possibilities of lesbian and bisexual motherhood in Spain. Until February 2023, lesbian couples were obliged to marry in order to jointly register their children. Access to assisted reproductive technologies in Spain requires medicalised processes and the mandatory anonymity of sperm donors. In this context, we explore how lesbian mothers narrate their journeys towards parenthood through an analysis of interviews. As reproductive rights are individualised through the use of medical interventions, we apply the notion of reproductive justice as a lens to question how women’s bodies are medicalised through a cultural and socio-legal system that imposes mandatory anonymous sperm donation over other possible forms of kinship construction.

Lubuk Larangan as Local Genius of Rantau Pandan Community, Bungo Regency, Jambi Province

Lubuk Larangan is a characteristic of the community in Rantau Pandan Village in Bungo District, Jambi Province. Lubuk Larangan is a local heritage comprising cultural values, traditions, and knowledge passed down from generation to generation. This study aims to explore and understand the concept of local genius contained in Lubuk Larangan as an important resource in strengthening the identity and cultural sustainability of the Rantau Pandan people. This research method uses a qualitative approach involving interviews, observation, and literature studies as data collection techniques. Research informants were community leaders having knowledge and experience of Lubuk Larangan, as well as community members who were directly involved in protecting and maintaining Lubuk Larangan’s existence. The study results showed that Lubuk Larangan has become a tradition for the people of Rantau Pandan village, which has value in the formation and maintenance of Lubuk Ban, resulting in a social system such as traditional ceremonies, community meetings, and religious activities and cultural systems that are transmitted through stories and practices that exist around Lubuk Larangan. They play an important role in shaping the identity of the Rantau Pandan community. Lubuk ban forms the concept of local genius so as to provide guidance for the management and utilization of sustainable cultural resources. By strengthening the role of Lubuk Larangan as a social and cultural system, the people of Rantau Pandan can maintain their cultural heritage and use it as a source of local economic development. Keywords: Lubuk Larangan, local genius, social system, cultural system, Rantau Pandan people

Factors Associated with The Utilization of Immediate Postpartum Family Planning Among Women Attending Kibogora Health Center, Nyamasheke District, Rwanda

Although the main purpose of Postpartum Family Planning (PPFP) is to address problem of unmet need of the existing Family Planning (FP), decrease pregnancies and its bad outcomes, the PPFP uptake is still low in developing countries. Little is known about factors associated with acceptance of PPFP among delivered women at health center level. This study sought to assess factors (Socio-demographic, cultural, and healthcare system related) associated with the use of FP methods among postpartum mothers at Kibogora Health Center in order to fill the literature gap. The study used a cross-sectional design with quantitative approach to collect data from 196 postpartum mothers attending the Health Center. Data was collected using questionnaires, entered into Microsoft Excel, and exported in SPSS for analysis. Of 196 women recruited in our study, 180 (91.8%) are using PPFP contraceptives methods. Factors associated with the use of PPFP methods at health center level include: mothers’ communication with partners about PPFP, which is likely to increase by almost three times the chance of using PPFP (cOR 2.7, 95% CI, 0.26, 0.33; P=0.03) compared with those who never communicate with their partners, and mothers delivered by caesarean section are by seven times more likely to accept PPFP (cOR 7.05, 95% CI, 0.08, 0.10); P=0.008) compared with those who undergo vaginal delivery. Therefore, strengthen a comprehensive education program aiming at scaling up communication between mothers and their partners about PPFP, and the role of PPFP on decreasing spontaneous pregnancies and bad pregnancy outcomes regardless the mode of delivery are recommended.

The Asymmetries of Border Spaces

ABSTRACT Boris Pahor was born in 1913 in Trieste, where he died at the age of 108. In all his works, he tries to reconstruct the conditions of exclusion experienced by himself, his family, his people, and finally all those who resisted the ideological pressures at the height of the Nazi terror, as described in the novel Necropolis (1967). The extreme violence with which assimilation was imposed on the Slovenian minority did not allow him to preserve his original identity. Pahor’s Trieste confirms that spaces exposed to a constant pressure of assimilation are spaces of undeniable vitality. This perspective should allow us to create a corpus of knowledge that reflects the resilience of cultures exposed to domination. Instead of seeing the margins as a place of exclusion and endemic difficulties, we need to change the narrative that defines them. Margins are the spaces where translation constantly materializes, the spaces of exchanges and transfers, thus the periphery has the capacity for mediation between complex cultural systems.

The Construction of Native Cultural Heritage System Based on the Study of Native Cultural Resources

The Construction of Native Cultural Heritage System Based on the Study of Native Cultural Resources

Paul's and the Position of Women in Worship Service: Study of 1 Timothy 2:8-15

The dichotomy that is often debated is patriarchal and feminist cultural systems. The centralization of human life is largely directed towards men, both in social and religious circles, thereby encouraging the objectification of women and dominating them. The space for women seems to be closed, this also happens in the Christian sphere, where there are still churches that adhere to a literal interpretation of the Bible. As a result, the reading of 1 Timothy 2:8-15 is misinterpreted. The main aim of this research is to reconstruct and present egalitarianization between women and men based on 1 Timothy 2:8-15, especially in the scope of worship services. It is still found that some churches reject women as priests. This research uses qualitative methods, with a critical historical approach. The results show that the Ephesian women were contaminated with a life of debauchery or a luxurious lifestyle, wanting to appear beyond their capacity. So they tend to ignore Christian values. So, it cannot be a measure to reject the existence of women as ministers of worship (pastor), only the church needs to pay attention to Christian values and foster them in Indonesia context.

The Discursos de la Vida in Inquisitorial Documentation Autobiography between Orality and Memory

In 1561 the General Inquisitor Fernando Valdés established a set of new instructions that systematically required defendants to depose their so-called discurso de la vida during their initial interrogation. Under the expression discurso de la vida, which was not exclusive to an Inquisitorial context, they were compelled to give an account of their own lives. This involved narrating a life story orally, which was then transcribed by scribes. While the defendants were rooted in a predominantly ‘oral culture’, clearly observable in their depositions, the scribes worked within a ‘written culture’ typical of their position in a social, legal and cultural system imposed from the top down. Thus, one confronts a singular source that has ‘fossilized’ thousands of interactions between both cultural models. The discurso de la vida was the most open-ended part of the interrogation, offering the accused the possibility of deploying a series of strategies based on their juridical and doctrinal knowledge, rhetorical skills of persuasion and ‘selective memory’. These demonstrate quite an unexpected degree of agency in such a coercive situation. According to symbolic interactionism, the best way to deal with this ‘collaborative life writing’ is to try to identify the role played by each participant in its composition. How did this interaction take place? To what extent is it possible to recover the ‘voices’ of narrators? How did the scribes or the inquisitors – both coercers and editors of these texts – bias these stories? What strategies did the protagonists deploy in their ‘performances’? These are some of the questions addressed in the article.

Analysis of Viewing Paintings from the Perspective of Iconography

Distinguished from purely formalistic research methods, iconography pursues the interpretation of the hidden historical and humanistic connotations behind artworks, and is a discipline that combines visual text and content analysis methods. Combining the three stages of iconography proposed by Panofsky, the paper studies Shizeng Chen’s Viewing Paintings from the perspective of iconography, summarizing the formation and change of the images and contents of the artworks in the cultural system and civilization at that time, as well as their implied ideology, and analyzing the hidden spirit of the times and the historical significance behind them, so as to expound their iconographic significance. Through an in-depth discussion at three levels: pre-pictorial iconographic description, iconographic analysis, and iconographic interpretation, the facts and surface contents reproduced in the images, the traditional level of literary, artistic, and cultural knowledge, as well as the interpretation of the potential meanings are revealed.

Social and Cultural Factors in Expressing Politeness in English and Romanian

Even if the Romanian language, on the one hand, and the English language, on the other hand, have different historical backgrounds, with no genetic relatedness, there are quite a number of similarities in expressing politeness in both languages. Our present survey is focused on the investigation of politeness from the socio-cultural point of view, emphasizing the similarities and differences that exist between the two languages. We have discussed the main linguistic theoretical aspects regarding this phenomenon, from different points of view: the conversational view, the face-saving view and politeness viewed as a conversational contract. Afterwards, we have approached in detail the problem of linguistic politeness, highlighting the social and cultural factors that have the strongest impact on choosing a certain way of addressing. We have come to the conclusion that the similarities and differences that exist among the Romanian and English languages as regards politeness expression are triggered by various value systems and by different cultural and social systems.

Introduction

This introduction aims to frame the texts it predates, to highlight their common theoretical and thematic concerns, and to set them against what we envision as a relevant common backdrop for the issues they raise. To this end, we begin from how insufficient acknowledgement of the current genocidal violence carried out against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank by Western feminism is symptomatic of its enmeshment with colonial rationales and imperialist violence. We question the extent of its liberating and emancipatory politics, reading them against the semiperipheral iterations of what Adam Tooze describes as the “polycrisis.” Focused on the gendered aspects of democratic backsliding - broadly understood as a weakening of faith in liberal democracy and the electoral invigoration of the far-right -, the articles included here trace cultural negotiations of gender justice, as it wanes or strengthens across the region. Variously located within broader networks of transnational transfers and global concerns, the articles included here complement relevant work conducted outside the bounds of academic writing. We gesture towards such feminist, anticolonial and antiracist movements which have emerged in Romania, specifically in the literary field, and to their contestation of the patriarchal and deeply unequal national cultural system.

Unique Food Culture in Thailand

Food culture refers to a special regional society of food farming, eating habits, eating etiquette. Each place, each country has its own unique food culture, Thai food culture is extensive and profound, not only reflected in the taste, aroma, more is reflected in the entire Thai cultural system. Through the introduction of Thailand's climate, agricultural structure, food hobbies, special food, etc., people have a basic understanding of Thai food culture and food preferences, and popularize Thai table manners. It is very important to respect other cultures.

VALUE-NORMATIVE DIMENSIONS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS IN THE CONDITIONS OF WAR

The article is devoted to the study of the ethical and value dimensions of the ecological crisis in the situation caused by war, and to the clarification of the significance of human responsibility for one’s actions in relation to nature. It is shown that the observance of moral and ethical norms and orientation to the values vital to man are a necessary condition for the preservation of human life and nature. The analysis of the tasks set in the article is carried out on the basis of the use of ideas of communicative philosophy and discursive ethics, which allows to form knowledge about the ecologically constructive relations of man with nature, to assess the scale of environmental problems in the conditions of war, and to search for ways to mitigate the consequences of the ecological crisis for man and nature.It is substantiated that the ecological crisis has value and cultural origins, therefore the awareness of the need to adhere to universal human values and the correlation of human actions in relation to nature with the norms of cultural and historical universalism becomes especially relevant. Attention is focused on the fact that in the conditions of war, barbaric expansion into the natural world, soullessness, merciless treatment of the plant and animal world, man and humanity must be guided in their actions by humanistic consciousness and moral principles, determine their actions by understanding responsibility for life. It has been established that modern man’s recognition of the importance of moral and ethical norms and humanistic values is an alternative to a lifestyle built on an unlimited, aggressive, exploitative attitude towards nature. Despite the difference between the types of culture and different cultural systems, the dominance of different value systems, people must equally ensure equal rights and bear joint responsibility for life. The most promising development strategy for humanity in a war situation should be the preservation of human life in unity with nature.

Ecosystems and Sounding Lives: Musical Instrument Makers in Greater Central Asia

ABSTRACT Environmental changes present new challenges for twenty-first century musical instrument makers who continue customary practices but are also forced to make visual and sonic changes due to eroding natural resource access and health. Informed by fieldwork in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, western China, and western Mongolia, this article uses an eco-ethnomusicological approach to consider relationships between instrument making and the social, cultural, and ecological systems that influence the characteristics of natural resources and the creative opportunities of makers. Managing change, makers use prior knowledge to account for patterns and variables and support adaptation as they work to sustain local musical practices.

Need-support facilitates well-being across cultural, economic, and political contexts: A self-determination theory perspective

BackgroundSelf-determination theory (SDT) posits that teachers who engage in need-supportive teaching through satisfying students’ basic needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness facilitate optimal well-being. However, there are debates about the purported applicability and relevance of need-supportive teaching across cultural, economic, and political contexts. AimsThis study examined whether need-supportive teaching was associated with students’ subjective, eudaimonic, and cognitive well-being. These relationships were tested across different macro-contexts, including cultural, economic, and political systems. SampleWe drew on data from 535,512 students across 70 countries. These students came from diverse cultural groups (Western Europe, Eastern-Central Europe, Eastern Europe, Latin America, English-speaking, Confucian, Southeast Asia, and Africa and the Middle East), economic systems (high, upper-middle, and lower-middle-income), and political climates (full democracies, flawed democracies, hybrid, and authoritarian regimes). MethodsConfirmatory factor analyses, structural equation modelling, and multi-group invariance tests were conducted. ResultsBy and large, need-supportive teaching was associated with better well-being across cultural, economic, and political contexts. However, the magnitude of associations was somewhat different across macro-contexts. Minor deviations from the general pattern were also found in a few cultural groups. ConclusionsAcross the globe, students who perceived their teachers to engage in need-supportive teaching were also more likely to experience better well-being. The results supported the universalist perspective, which recognizes the existence of broad universal patterns alongside contextual differences.

Women Architects and Their Works in the Autonomous Region of Madrid, 1978-2008

This paper explores the periphery of the very centre of the architectural system in Spain, considering the work of women architects in the Autonomous Region of Madrid (Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid), the province of its capital, in the period 1978-2008, i. e., between the democratic restoration and the global financial crisis. The approach is threefold. Firstly, a quantitative analysis, according to various parameters, of a sufficiently representative sample (more than a hundred cases) of this female-authored production, either solo or in collaboration with other women colleagues. Secondly, an analysis of the presence of women and their works in the architectural media in terms of the prestige they represent. Thirdly, an evaluation based on a qualitative approach of these works, the account of their differential features, and the identification of the very interests that women architects expressed through them. To this end, a methodology is implemented that includes the collection of bibliographic sources, a call to the architects to invite them to submit their projects and field work, by visiting and collecting data from most of the works. The results reveal that most of their professional practice that solo and is mainly based on residential works—the most recognised— followed by interventions in public spaces. Most of the works correspond to new construction and are concentrated, in time, in the 1990s and, in space, to the south and east of both the capital and the wider Madrid Region. The work of women architects has hardly been reported in professional journals, although it has been more widely disseminated in institutional publications, especially in the case of female civil servants. Qualitatively, the attention paid to the programme, especially to the common and intermediate spaces, the suitability of the technical means to the ends and the context, the care taken in the design of inclusive public spaces and the commitment to sustainability are striking. All this speaks volumes about the value of authors and architectures that, even in the center itself, are relegated to the periphery. It is a political and cultural system, which gender-based research challenges to propose hopeful alternatives for the discipline.

Analisis Wacana Kritis Norman Fairclough Pada Film Barbie 2023 Sebagai Representasi Budaya Patriarki

Film is part of audio-visual mass media communication and aims to convey social messages to the audience in accordance with the reality that is growing and developing in society. One of the films that has this purpose is the film Barbie Live Action 2023. The purpose of this research is to dissect the discourse in three dimensions, namely textual, discourse practice, and sociocultural practice. In this research, the type of research used is qualitative-descriptive research. The paradigm used in this research is the critical paradigm. The appropriate research method used for this research is Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis method. In the textual dimension, the linguistic tools of Diction, Cohesion, Modality and figure of speech metaphor are obtained. In the discourse practice dimension, at the production level the Barbie film is produced with two backgrounds, namely Barbieland and the real world, namely the city of Los Angles, United States with English language dialogue. At a text consumption level, the film is the highest-grossing box office film of all time with earnings of $1.45 billion. Sociocultural practices have 3 levels, namely situational, institutional and social levels. Situational Barbie script was written during the pandemic. For example, the film Barbie was a box office success in almost the entire world and became the hope of the global community regarding the end of the pandemic. Furthermore, at the institutional level, which includes the media, is Greta Gerwig herself as a film filmmaker. Warner Bros. is the production house for the 2023 Barbie Live Action film. Then there is Mattel as the company behind the production of Barbie dolls. Finally, at the social level, this film shows how patriarchy persists in reality, the social and cultural system of American society still adheres to patriarchal culture and neglects women's rights and protection.

The Evolution of Symbolic Thought: At the Intersection of Schizophrenia Psychopathology, Ethnoarchaeology, and Neuroscience.

The human capacity for symbolic representation arises, evolutionarily and developmentally, from the exploitation of a widespread sensorimotor network, along a fundamental continuity between embodied and symbolic modes of experience. In this regard, the fine balancing between constrained sensorimotor connections (responsible for self-embodiment processing) and more untethered neural associations (responsible for abstract and symbolic processing) is context dependent and plastically neuromodulated, thus intersubjectively constructed within a specific socio-cultural milieu. Instead, in the schizophrenia spectrum this system falls off catastrophically, due to an unbalance toward too unconstrained sensorimotor connectivity, leading to a profound distortion of self/world relation with a symbolic activity detached from its embodied ground. For this very reason, however, schizophrenia psychopathology may contribute to unveil, in a distorted or magnified way, ubiquitous structural features of human symbolic activity, beneath the various, historically determined cultural systems. In this respect, a comparative approach, linking psychopathology and ethnoarchaeology, allows highlight the following invariant formal characteristics of symbolic processing: (1) Emergence of salient perceptive fragments, which stand out from the perceptual field. (2) Spreading of a multiplicity of new significances with suspension of common-sense meaning. (3) Dynamic and passive character through which meaning proliferation is experienced. This study emphasizes the importance of fine-grained psychopathology to elucidate, within a cross-disciplinary framework, the evolutionarily and developmental pathways that shape the basic structures of human symbolization.

Characterizing disparities in receipt of palliative care for Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders with metastatic cancer in the United States.

Palliative care plays essential roles in cancer care. However, differences in receipt among individuals identifying as Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Other Pacific Islanders (AA&NHPI) with cancer are not well-characterized, especially when these diverse groups are disaggregated. We characterized disparities in receipt of palliative care among AA&NHPI patients with AJCC Stage IV prostate, breast, or lung cancer. We performed multivariable logistic regressions were performed in this retrospective cohort analysis, using deidentified data from the National Cancer Database (NCDB) of patients diagnosed with AJCC analytic group stage IV breast, lung, or prostate cancer (2004-2018) who were White or of Asian Indian/Pakistani, Chinese, Filipino, Hawaiian, Hmong, Japanese, Kampuchean, Korean, Laotian, Other Pacific Islander, Thai, or Vietnamese descent. We conducted multivariable logistic regression analyses in a retrospective cohort study using deidentified data from the National Cancer Database (NCDB). The study included patients diagnosed with AJCC analytic group Stage IV breast, lung, or prostate cancer between 2004 and 2018, who were White or identified as Asian Indian/Pakistani, Chinese, Filipino, Hawaiian, Hmong, Japanese, Kampuchean, Korean, Laotian, Other Pacific Islander, Thai, or Vietnamese descent. Adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals of receiving palliative care were measured when comparing White vs. AA&NHPI patients as one cohort and White vs. disaggregated AA&NHPI patients, adjusting for clinical, socioeconomic, and demographic covariates. Among 775,289 individuals diagnosed with cancer (median age: 68years), no significant differences in palliative care receipt were observed between White patients and aggregated AA&NHPI patients among patients with prostate, breast, or lung cancer. However, disaggregated analyses revealed reduced palliative care receipt for breast cancer patients of Asian Indian/Pakistani descent (AOR 0.75, 95% CI, 0.60-0.94, P = 0.011) and for lung cancer patients of Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, and Asian Indian/Pakistani descent compared to White patients (Chinese AOR 0.88, [0.81-0.94], P = 0.001; Vietnamese AOR 0.89, [0.80 to 0.99], P = 0.032; Thai AOR 0.64, [0.44-0.92], P = 0.016; Asian Indian/Pakistani AOR 0.83, [0.74-0.93], P = 0.001). Palliative care was greater for patients of Japanese and Hawaiian descent with prostate cancer (Japanese AOR 1.92, [1.32-2.75], P = 0.001; Hawaiian AOR 2.09, [1.20-3.66], P = 0.009), breast cancer (Japanese AOR 1.72, [1.21-2.43], P = 0.001; Hawaiian AOR 1.70, [1.08-2.67], P = 0.021), and lung cancer (Japanese AOR 1.92, [1.70-2.17], P < 0.001; Hawaiian AOR 2.95, [2.5-3.5], P < 0.001), as well as patients of Other Pacific Islander descent with lung cancer (AOR 1.62, [1.34-1.96], P < 0.001). Our findings demonstrate disparities in receipt of palliative care upon disaggregation of diverse AA&NHPI groups, the need for disaggregated research and targeted interventions that address the unique cultural, socioeconomic, and healthcare system barriers to palliative care receipt.

Implementation of the Tattwakusumadewa Teachings at Hindu Spiritual Civilization in Mataram City and Kupang City

This research aims to examine the implementation of thetattwa kusumadewa teaching at Hindu spiritual civilization in the Mataram City and Kupang City. This research was designed as an descriptive qualitative research type using a case study model. Based on the results of this research, three findings were found related to the implementation of the tattwaKusumadewa teaching at Hindu communities in Mataram and Kupang. First, the content of the tattwaKusumadewa text talks about how to elect pemangku (Hindu saint), namely: wahya marga and adyatmika marga. Wahya marga selection is carried out based on descent, tereh, ancestral guidance, and kramadesa choices. Adiyatmikamarga talks about what is appropriate for ngewinteni, in this case a dwijati (sulinggih), at least witnessed by community pemangku when it is performed, and nyurud hayu begs Ida Sanghyang Widhi Wasa and is done at the piodalan. Second, the implementation of the tattwa kusumadewain spiritual civilization for pemangku is used as a guideline for carrying out Hindu religious ceremonies, especially spiritual improvement, even approaching true spirituality and being able to transfer knowledge to people and be able to transform themselves well. Third, the positive impact of implementing the tattwa kusumadewawhich is related to physical health, thoughts, and meaning is very large which is related to local culture which is part of Indonesian culture, which includes; religious systems, social organizations, language, arts and livelihoods. The meaning of the implementation of the tattwa kusumadewais related to increasing religious emotions, belief systems, social and cultural systems.
