Community Leaders and Their Influence on Tourism Development in Bali

Purpose: This paper aims to identify and explain the role of community leaders in the development of tourism in Bali. Bali, which is known as a world tourism destination, is able to develop well and cannot be separated from the participation of the community and the figures in it. The role of community leaders in tourism development in their respective areas is interesting to observe, with the aim of understanding how the capital used by the figures synergizes with the community in developing a destination. Methodology: The data collection was done by observation and interviews and was analyzed using the cultural studies approach, especially the deconstruction method. Deconstruction is aimed at causing a hierarchical order that organizes the text. Findings: The results of the data analysis were presented in a descriptive and narrative form Social capital and cultural capital play an important role in the development of a region into a tourism destination area. Based on direct observations, it was found that some areas like Sanur, Ubud, Pemuteran, and Munduk could develop tourism with a sustainable and community-based concept. In four areas, based on observations and in-depth interviews, tourism in the four places could develop thanks to pioneers who were at the same time community leaders admired by the communities. This phenomenon is interesting to be examined, that is, from the community perspective the role of social and cultural capital in practice has a higher value than economic capital. Thus, this needs to be understood and important to be investigated, especially in the effort of developing sustainable tourism at the village level. Originality/Value: Based on the capital needed in tourism development, cultural capital is the very crucial one that functions to influence people to participate in and support the tourism activities developed in an area

Keindahan yang Semu: Analisis Dekonstruksi Derrida

This research is motivated by the problems of beauty and normality that develop in society. Women are often seen as objects that must be judged and contested for their beauty. Beautiful and normal is considered a solid and patent construction. However, the meaning of beautiful and normal is not stable. The purpose of this study is to deconstruct the structure that is considered to be established regarding beauty and normality. The method used to deconstruct this structure is the deconstruction method offered by Derrida. The data source of this research is the novel Maya by Ayu Utami, while the data in this study are words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs that contain discourses of beauty and normalcy in the novel Maya. Furthermore, data analysis is carried out through the study of binary oppositions to then look for the hierarchical structure in the binary oppositions. After obtaining the binary opposition and hierarchical structure, then the deconstruction process is carried out. The results obtained in this study include the normative structure of beauty and normality in the novel Maya, binary opposition in the novel Maya, and the deconstruction of beauty and normal in the novel Maya.

Revealing the Meanings on William Wordsworth’s Poem Strange Fits of Passion Have I Known

This study investigates a literary work, a poem, from a linguistic framework. The aim of this study is to reveal the meanings found in William Wordsworth’s poem ‘Strange Fits of Passion Have I Known’ from systemic stylistic analysis in the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics and Verbal Art Semiotics. The data were collected by library study and analyzed with a descriptive, deconstructive method and content analysis with an intrinsic objective approach. This result of the study proves that the subject matter of this poem is ‘the poet rode a horse to Lucy’s cottage from the rice of evening till the drop of the bright moon”. The deep level of meaning refers to the last clause complex ‘O that is a mercy, to myself I cried If Lucy should be dead.’ The deeper level of meaning of this poem is about ‘the death of a young girl named Lucy’, and finally, the deepest level or the theme of this poem is about ‘death is a natural part of life cycle.’

The Multimodal Analysis of War And Peace

War And Peace, originally a most praised and studied masterpiece in the history of Western Literature, nowadays 
 represents a literary-artistic phenomena far more than the text composed by Tolstoy. Utilising the multimodal discourse analysis, 
 now the mainstream of deconstruction method of contemporary linguistics and semiotics research, this thesis analyses the 
 translations and multimedia adaptions to cover the shortages of previous text studies and simultaneously analyses the application 
 of multimodal discourse in the adaptation and dissemination of literary works in a two-way perspective.

Physico-chemical interactions within lignocellulosic biomass and their importance in developing solvent based deconstruction methods

Fundamental understanding of physico-chemical interactions among the biopolymers in lignocellulosic biomass is crucial to develop atom-efficient deconstruction methods.

Spivak and Rethinking the Agency of Disabled Children

Disability as a marginalised subject position is not conspicuous in Postcolonial Studies, although it does constitute a material presence and is a lived experience in the Global South. Disability Studies in the Global North often downplays social inequality and diversity that is a direct result of inequalities perpetuated by centuries of colonialism. This is problematic for indigenous populations that are disabled, as their ‘agency’ is left out in both the postcolonial and the disability narrative. This article examines the position of the subaltern that exists within subalternity, through the works of Professor Gayatri C. Spivak, and further aims to examine whether the space occupied by the subaltern is characteristically similar as a disenfranchised group to that of disabled people. Spivak’s method of affirmative sabotage and deconstruction in postcolonial studies will be used to rethink the position of disabled children to conclude that the subaltern and the experience of impairment are similarly ‘disabling’, and that disabled subaltern in treaties such as the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child cannot actually speak.

Social impact bonds: Financing grassroots sports

This paper aims to analyze the foreign experience of using social impact bonds (SIB) and formulate proposals for the application of this tool in financing projects aimed at developing mass sports and increasing physical activity on a national scale. The scientific novelty of the article is confirmed by the limited application of such a mechanism in Russia and its insufficient study. This research aims to fill this academic and applied gap. The author uses the methods of deconstruction and aspect analysis. The article analyzes in detail the foreign experience of using social impact bonds, reveals the advantages and disadvantages of this model. In the absence of SIB sports projects, the model of social impact bonds is considered through the example of a New York City-based program aimed at reducing the recidivism rate among young people. This example allowed the author to describe the interaction scheme for all participants and stakeholders and to illustrate related advantages and disadvantages. In the future, this model can be introduced into Russian practice and used as a model for launching a similar project in the field of grassroots sports. The analysis of successful projects implemented abroad allowed the author to substantiate the possibility of using social impact bonds in financing programs aimed at increasing population levels of physical activity. A system of target indicators is proposed, including such a metric as social return on investment (SROI). The author describes in detail the methodology for calculating SROI and provides examples of calculating this indicator for mass sports projects. The author concludes that the advantages of SIB prevail over the disadvantages and about the high potential of this tool. Further research in this area can be aimed at clarifying the methodology for calculating the SROI for sport interventions promoting physical activity at the population level and evaluating specific projects in the field.

Rebranding of Ukrainian Art Museums: Design as a Cultural Strategy

The purpose of the article is to identify the features of branding campaigns of Ukrainian art museums and their impact on increasing the popularity of museum institutions; and finding out the effectiveness of design approaches in such campaigns. Research methods are based on the application of comparative, formal-stylistic, iconological analysis and deconstruction method. The novelty of the research is to analyze the branding campaigns of art museums in order to learn from their experience and effective design solutions. The article also reveals the problem of integration of the viewer into the museum environment and the attempt through design to go beyond the imposed stereotypes, to overcome the attitude to art as a field alien to the average viewer. Conclusions. As a result of the analysis of branding campaigns of iconic Ukrainian art museums we come to the conclusion about their efficiency both for separate establishments, and for all culture in general. Comparative analysis of different approaches has shown the importance of identifying the uniqueness of institutions and attempts to reflect it in the design of identity. And although today we can talk about the belated transformation of the museum environment in Ukraine, which has been shedding boring socialist-realist cloaks almost three decades after the restoration of independence, it is important to note that this process coincides with the global trend of renewal of world museums. Design is becoming a cultural strategy that aims more than changing the image: it must turn the museum into a subjective player in the cultural field, able to think not in terms of power but in terms of culture. Therefore, the rebranding of the country’s iconic art museums can be called without exaggeration one of the most important cultural achievements since the restoration of independence. This process also demonstrated the current demand for design as a cultural strategy that can establish visual bridges between art professionals and potential viewers, as well as change cultural codes, set trends and thus influence the change of image of the city and country.

Relasi kuasa dalam pengembangan perangkat lunak open source perpustakaan perguruan tinggi di Bali

Introductions. Discussions on critical perspectives of open source software is limited as most studies focus on technical aspects. This study examines aspects of process, form, ideology, and implications of power relations in the development of open source software for university libraries in Bali, observed from non-technical aspects of the system.
 Research methods. The paper used cultural studies method with semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation as data collection methods.
 Data analysis. This study used genealogy and deconstruction methods involving Foucault and Derrida theory.
 Results and discussion. The process of power relations in the development of open source software for university libraries in Bali is not only comes in parallel, but also in hegemonic relations. These relations are based on knowledge and influenced by the ideology of librarianship, free, open source, and capitalist which have implications for libraries, librarians, and users.
 Conclusions and suggestions. The practice of power relations in the development of open source software for university libraries in Bali occurred through knowledge and hegemonic power. Therefore, human resources should also improve their communication skills.

The stoic tooth root: how the mineral and extracellular matrix counterbalance to keep aged dentin stable

Aging is a physiological process with profound impact on the biology and function of biosystems, including the human dentition. While resilient, human teeth undergo wear and disease, affecting overall physical, psychological, and social human health. However, the underlying mechanisms of tooth aging remain largely unknown. Root dentin is integral to tooth function in that it anchors and dissipates mechanical load stresses of the tooth-bone system. Here, we assess the viscoelastic behavior, composition, and ultrastructure of young and old root dentin using nano-dynamic mechanical analysis, micro-Raman spectroscopy, small angle X-ray scattering, atomic force and transmission electron microscopies. We find that the root dentin overall stiffness increases with age. Unlike other mineralized tissues and even coronal dentin, however, the ability of root dentin to dissipate energy during deformation does not decay with age. Using a deconstruction method to dissect the contribution of mineral and organic matrix, we find that the damping factor of the organic matrix does deteriorate. Compositional and ultrastructural analyses revealed higher mineral-to-matrix ratio, altered enzymatic and non-enzymatic collagen cross-linking, increased collagen d-spacing and fibril diameter, and decreased abundance of proteoglycans and sulfation pattern of glycosaminoglycans . Therefore, even in the absence of remodeling, the extracellular matrix of root dentin shares traits of aging with other tissues. To explain this discrepancy, we propose that altered matrix-mineral interactions, possibly mediated by carbonate ions sequestered at the mineral interface and/or altered glycosaminoglycans counteract the deleterious effects of aging on the structural components of the extracellular matrix. Statement of significanceGlobally, a quarter of the population will be over 65 years old by 2050. Because many will retain their dentition, it will become increasingly important to understand and manage how aging affects teeth. Dentin is integral to the protective, biomechanical, and regenerative features of teeth. Here, we demonstrate that older root dentin not only has altered mechanical properties, but shows characteristic shifts in mineralization, composition, and post-translational modifications of the matrix. This strongly suggests that there is a mechanistic link between mineral and matrix components to the biomechanical performance of aging dentin with implications for efforts to slow or even reverse the aging process.

Rereading of The Sabbath Law (Exodus 20: 8-11) as A Response to Modern Slavery Issue

This research was motivated by concerns about the problem of modern slavery. The author will interpret Exodus 20:8-11 on the Sabbath to respond to the issue of slavery. The method of interpretation that will be used is deconstruction and social criticism. The use of the social criticism method sees the text as a practice of discourse that is ideologically charged and has specific interests. The text is not neutral but rather is advocating. In the text itself, two social groups conflict with each other. The interpretation of the existing Sabbath is interpreted normatively, legalistically, ritualistically, sociologically, theologically and eschatologically. The results of reinterpreting the Sabbath using a deconstructive method show that the Sabbath has been abolished because every day is interpreted as a forced workday. Forced labour is driven by fear and worry. The Sabbath was forgotten for political and economic motives. The Sabbath was abolished because time was money, so people were traded and enslaved for the sake of making money. The reinterpretation of the Sabbath text with the method of social criticism finds the theological meaning of the Sabbath. The God of the Sabbath is described as the forerunner of the liberation of slavery throughout the ages. God’s Sabbath-keeping people today have a liberation mission to help people who are victims of modern slavery.

Identifying the aspects of organizational culture: a study of Indian banking industry

Purpose The purpose of the present study is to identify the core cultural aspects perceived by the executives of public, private and foreign banks in India. Design/methodology/approach Of the 124 responses, 96 usable responses were assessed from middle and lower level managers. Qualitative content analysis and deconstruction method were used to identify the perceived cultural aspects. Findings Interestingly, managers of Indian banking industry stated that cultural aspects of their banks possess good work and working environment, prefer people, management, experience and promotions in comparison to other factors like policy, bonus, market, commitment, project, etc. It is also noted that cultural aspects of banks prefer learning, training and team working. Practical implications Assessment of the perception of managers toward their culture will foster the banks to develop integral subculture and to achieve the long-term organizational goals. Originality/value The study analyze the cultural aspects in Indian banking industry qualitatively, based on executives characteristics. This qualitative analysis helps to find out more contemporary and prevailing factors of banks.

The process of mourning for Eswatini widowers: A pastoral concern

Eswatini custom and church traditions indirectly and directly affect the way widowers handle their mourning period, after the demise of their better halves. Instead of mourning their loss of spouses for their spiritual, emotional, social and financial healing, widowers rush to remarry. This has resulted in dysfunctional marriages, ill health, financial crisis and sometimes death. This article has analysed the impact of the Eswatini custom and church traditions on widowers as emanating from the ‘throne’. The aim of this article therefore is to unpack some of the struggles faced by widowers, which often impacts them on their journey of life as they seek to relive life with another wife. It is in this regard that Nick Pollard’s method of positive deconstruction was used to enter the space of the widowers. Charles Gerkin’s shepherding model was incorporated in order to be able to journey with the troubled souls. The process will in turn heal them as they will be taught about the importance of mourning before remarrying.Contribution: Widowers in Eswatini are the most vulnerable yet neglected in the kingdom of Eswatini. Patriarchy plays a major role, and in this case, it is men versus men power. Eswatini’s cultural practices and church practices have a major impact on widowers and may even shorten their lifespan.

ПРАВОСЛАВНІ ПАРАФІЯЛЬНІ ГРОМАДИ ЯК ОСЕРЕДКИ КОНТРОЛЮ ЗА ШЛЮБНОЮ МОБІЛЬНІСТЮ УКРАЇНСЬКОГО НАСЕЛЕННЯ XVIII ‒ ПЕРШОЇ ПОЛОВИНИ ХІХ ст.

The Purpose of the Research. The article focuses on the issue of the territorial affiliation of people to the Orthodox parish communities; they controlled the marital mobility of the Ukrainian population of the 18th ‒ the first half of the 19th centuries primarily to prevent illegal weddings and births. The Methodology of the Research. The construction of a generalized image of the Orthodox parish communities took place at the rational and emotional levels of knowledge, but at the same time based on the principle of objectivity. Interdisciplinary strategies of historical anthropology, the methods of critical, structural analysis and the method of sources deconstruction have been used. Interpretations and conclusions are based on the materials of seven archival institutions and documentation of a directive administrative, informational and publishing direction. The Scientific Novelty. The presentation of a new look at the Orthodox communities at the same time exposed the pressing social problems of the period under study, some of which are relevant today: begging, profligacy, crime, illegal weddings and childbearing, infanticide, family breakdown due to the departure of one of the married couple to earn money or sale serfs and, etc. The Conclusions. In the XVIIIth century witness documentation was introduced, which allowed the population to migrate and get married legally. According to a civil law, the marriage registration by parishioners who were the bride or groom, was supposed to take place in the churches. People acquired membership in the new parish in the context of the issuance of the relevant permission documents in connection with the relocation, the redeployment of military units, the remoteness of the parish church from society, the unsatisfactory state of the church premises for worship, and etc. Significant factors that led to significant population movements and possible violations of matrimonial requirements were the salary movement of the common people and the flight of serfs. In the marriage case of dependent peasants of different owners and changes in the arrival of the bride-serfs, they had to submit manumission, letters of sale and purchase of peasants, or documents, which testified to releasing a person from serfdom.

The Bakhtin Circle’s dialog in Vietnam

In this article, we use Jacques Derrida’s deconstructive method to study the influence of Mikhail Bakhtin in Vietnam in the 1990s and 2000s. By using evaluations of Bakhtin by researchers in Vietnam and around the world, we argue that he is not the only owner of the theory of dialog and polyphony. His friends, Pavel Medvedev and Valentin Voloshinov, also played important roles in defining these concepts. The Bakhtin Circle’s dialog theory is related to the sense of democracy in society. The work of Bakhtin was introduced to Vietnam in the 1980s and led to a “Bakhtin fever” throughout Vietnam. However, he has been less overrated recently. We also discover a mistake in the dialogic theory of the Bakhtin Circle. The members of the Circle said that the nature of language is dialogic, which means that whenever language is used, either in literature or in common life, it is always polyphonic. Based on this claim, novels use language to tell stories, so novels are polyphonic. The Bakhtin Circle was mistaken when labeling Dostoevsky’s novels as polyphonic and Tolstoy’s novels as monologic. In the same vein, the Bakhtin Circle strongly believed that language in poetry is always monologic. We think this claim is also wrong. Dialogicality appears in all kinds of poetic languages.

SUBALTERN DAN NASIONALISME DALAM NOVEL NYAI DASIMA (1960) KARYA S. M. ARDAN

This paper analyzes new meanings as the results of the reception written by S.M. Ardan in Nyai Dasima, which is known to have a central meaning, generally refers to the colonial efforts to liberate Nyai Dasima from colonialism. Recognized as a victim of colonial social structure s, Nyai Dasima yearn s for liberation by restoring her position, maintaining her identity and self-respect by rebelling against colonial oppression based on indigenous woman nationalism. The theory used in this paper is Gayatri Spivak's critical reading of the subaltern, which refers to “third world women” who are considered unable to speak or have a voice. This analytical method is the deconstruction method to find what Spivak calls “cognitive failure”. The analysis of this paper found that the rebellion and resistance carried out by Nyai Dasima represent an act of liberation from the shackles of colonialism which suppresses subaltern groups, especially women. However, it was found that the exemption offered to Nyai Dasima was parole which in no way refer s to a sovereign and privileged subject.

Gesture Visualization from Babad Diponegoro (UNESCO’s MoW) into Digital Character using Motion Capture


 The image of Prince Diponegoro as a national hero of Indonesia is very strong. However, there are controversies and myths regarding his characterization. The researcher deconstructs the character of Prince Diponegoro by appropriating Raden Saleh's painting entitled Penangkapan Pangeran Diponegoro by tracing the authentic script from the autobiography of Babad Diponegoro. The manuscript is examined using an intertextuality approach. Prince Diponegoro is constructed based on the physical characteristics contained in the Babad Diponegoro text into a three-dimensional digital model. The results are then rearranged using the deconstruction method by detaching from the existing stereotype of Prince Diponegoro and displaying his character and habits as written in Babad Diponegoro. A number of questions to be answered through this research are what can be visualized from the character of Prince Diponegoro using a textual approach, especially based on Babad Diponegoro, why does the character and identity based on Babad Diponegoro need to be visualized and what methods can be used to bring out the body and character. through the use of digital technology which includes embodiment, motion, gesture, sound, light, interactivity so as to provide a new experience for the audience. The result was a series of movements and visuals that enriched the characterization of Prince Diponegoro. All characters, both those that have been formed for a long time and those that were only known after the translation of Babad Diponegoro, were shown in the virtual experiment entitled Hikayat Dipanegara. The results showed that appropriation using different dimensions and technology resulted in a new image of Prince Diponegoro. The crossing of signs that occurs between real and virtual experiences and in the context of time can provide a new experience which may change the perspective or understanding of things.

The Pressure Profiles of the Equilibrium States of Osmosis across Plant and Animal Cell Membranes

Introduction In our previous abstract titled “The Nature and Measures of Osmotic Pressure” in EB2021, we illustrated that 1) in a simple osmosis system where a solution compartment and a water compartment are separated by a selectively permeable membrane (m), πachieved, πapplied, and πTM (TM refers to transmembrane) are the three common ways osmotic pressure (π) is defined, where πTM is the nature of osmotic pressure that drives osmosis; and 2) in a composite osmosis system where a cell membrane separates two solutions (extracellular and intracellular fluids, i.e., ECF and ICF), the driving pressure of osmosis is the osmotic pressure difference/gradient (ΔπTM) across the m. In this presentation, we apply the concepts of a composite ECF-m-ICF and the ΔπTM to illustrate how three different types of pressure characterize the equilibrium states of osmosis (after water enters the cells) across plant and animal cell membranes. Method 1) Deconstructing a composite ECF-m-ICF (Fig 1) into two simple osmosis systems (ECF-m-H2O and H2O-m-ICF) to understand the ΔπTM. 2) Graphical (logical) analysis of the three pressures in plant and animal ECF-m-ICF (Fig 2). Results 1) As shown in Fig 1, ΔπTM = πTM(ECF-m-H2O) - πTM(H2O-m-ICF). 2) After water enters a cell and reaches equilibrium of osmosis, ΔπTM is reduced to Δπeq (Fig 2). 3) In a plant ECF-m-ICF (Fig 2a and 2b), large Δπeq (close to ΔπTM), high hydrostatic pressure (ΔPH2O, thick grey arrows in Fig 2b) inside the cell, and high tension in the call wall (ΔTwall, thick white bidirectional arrows, Fig 2b) characterize this equilibrium state. To focus on the pressure profiles and simplify the Fig 2, the vacuoles that store water in the plant cell are not shown. In contrast, in an animal ECF-m-ICF, smaller Δπeq, lower PH2O (the thin grey arrows, Fig 2d), and lesser tension in the cell membrane (ΔTCM, the white bidirectional arrows, Fig 2d) characterize the equilibrium state. Conclusion This is the first work to illustrate in detail the differences in the three pressure profiles across plant and animal cell membranes after water enters the cells due to osmosis using the method of deconstruction of ICF-m-ECF and the concept of ΔπTM.
