TETIKESAN PRACTICAL TRAINING OF WAYANG PARWA BEBADUNGAN STYLE PERFORMANCE IN SANGGAR MAJALANGU

Abstract Wayang Parwa performances in the last three decades have become increasingly rare in society. This performance originates from the Mahabharata epic and is accompanied by the Gender Wayang gamelan, which is one of the oldest in Bali. Wayang Parwa is usually used as a basis for learning to become a puppeteer in formal and non-formal education. Wayang Parwa has many versions, and in Bali, there are four styles of Wayang Parwa: Bebadungan Style, Sukawati Style, Tunjung Style, and Buleleng (North Bali). One of the styles with the most favorite is the Bebadungan style, which is spread across six districts/cities in Bali, such as Tabanan, Negara, Klungkung, Bangli, Karangasem, and Denpasar City. With the emergence of various variants of innovative wayang performances, the popularity of Wayang Parwa has decreased. To maintain the existence of the Wayang Parwa Bebadungan Style performance in this millennial era, conservative efforts needed to be made, namely through training. Considering the Wayang Parwa Bebadungan style performances by today's young puppeteers, many need to be stronger in Tetikesan (puppet movements). For this reason, the training material provided to members of Sanggar Majalangu, Kerobokan Village, North Kuta District, Badung Regency, led by I Made Agus Adi Santika, is Tetikesan. This training could answer the public's opinion that the weakness of the Wayang Parwa Bebadungan style performance refers to Tetikesan. The training was focused on one of the studio members using instructional, structured, gradual, and innovative learning methods by utilizing YouTube media, which releases audio recordings of Wayang Buduk performances by puppeteer Ida Bagus Arnawa (deceased) and his son, puppeteer Ida Bagus Puja (deceased) as standardization of the Bebadungan style. Keywords: Training, Tetikesan, Wayang Parwa Bebadungan Style

System Parameters Sensitivity Analysis of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a technology to harvest the solar energy stored in the ocean by utilizing the temperature difference between warm surface and cold deep seawater. Considering that the OTEC system works in a low-temperature range, the present paper assessed the technical resources comprehensively by acquiring in-situ thermocline data and conducting a sensitivity analysis of the system parameters. The in-situ temperature profile data were measured in the waters of North Bali, Indonesia. The temperature gradient data based on field measurements were then compared with the HYCOM consortium model. The data were then used as input in the OTEC power and efficiency estimation through a single-stage ranking cycle. The analysis was conducted by varying the type of working fluid, the performance of the heat exchanger, and the location to investigate how the system parameters influenced the power produced. Using an unusual combination of parameters made it difficult to analyze the resulting data multiple times. However, with reference-based analysis and the formulation of calculations, the sensitivity of each parameter could be assessed at both locations. As a result, the ammonia working fluid provided the highest net power output of the system but had the lowest efficiency of all working fluids. The heat exchanger performance in terms of net power and efficiency cannot be separated from the seawater mass flow requirement. This referred to the results where the heat exchanger with a temperature difference of 3°C before and after the seawater passed through the heat exchanger and produced the highest net power and efficiency. Additionally, the net power output reached its convergence level at a water depth of 400m for the Bungkulan site and 450m for Celukan Bawang, which was proportional to the thermocline tendency.

Empowering Social Environment as Scaffolding for Students with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Teaching Basic Communication

Students with ASD have obvious characteristics that they have limitations in making communication and have low social awareness. For that reason, they need to be supported on how they can improve their communication ability. This research aimed to describe how the social environment is empowered and created to help students with ASD learn to communicate. The study's design was a multi-case study conducted in an inclusive school in North Bali. Three cases of students with ASD with their teachers, the school principal, and a technical assistant were involved as the study's subjects. The data were collected for 12 months and analyzed qualitatively. The study results show that several types of social environments were modified to teach students about basic communications such as morning circles, cooperative buddy programs, sensory garden programs, modelling, and go-play activities. The use of the programs functions as scaffolding, which then indicates improvements in the students ' social interactions and basic communication. The implication of this study suggests the importance of creating a supportive social environment program for students with ASD to enhance their social awareness and interaction.Students with ASD have obvious characteristics that they have limitations in making communication and have low social awareness.

Distribution Nudibranch and Carnivorous Fish in The North Bali Sea

The presence or absence of certain types of carnivorous coralfish in a coral reef ecosystem accurately indicates the health of a coral reef ecosystem and the organisms associated with it; one of them is the nudibranch. This research aims to determine whether the presence of carnivorous fish in coral reef ecosystems affects the quality of the nudibranch life cycle and the distribution size in terms of predation. Nine carnivorous fish species were found at the three research stations, the largest group being triggerfish and grouper found in Lovina Reef and Menjangan island. Observed from the size distribution of nudibranchs, the presence of nudibranchs in the three research locations shows sizes ranging from small to large, namely from the Phyllididae nudibranch group. The dead body of the nudibranch was found in Tulamben reef, but it could not be confirmed whether the nudibranch was preyed by carnivorous fish. Carnivorous fish are not predators and do not affect the life cycle of nudibranchs observed from the complete size distribution of nudibranchs from small to large. Nudibranch predators cannot digest nudibranch bodies because their bodies are venomous; they use them as self-defense against the predators. Nudibranchia are not always found when preyed on by fish.

Productivity and Brix value of Green Grapes (Vitis vinifera L var. Muscat Saint Vallier) at Different Location and Pruning Time in Buleleng Bali

Bali is one of the grape-producing regions in Indonesia, and grape cultivation is carried out in the North Bali area of Buleleng Regency. Grape growers in Bali began to plant other grape varieties, namely green grapes (Vitis vinifera L. var. Muscat Saint Vallier). This grape variety originates from France and grows successfully in the tropics. Currently, there needs to be more information about the yield potential and quality of green grape varieties. This study aims to determine the productivity and quality of green grapes at several harvest periods and locations. The research was conducted from January 2021 to September 2022 at three sub-district locations: Gerokgak, Kalisada, and Seririt. The research was conducted at six locations, namely Gerokgak 1, Gerokgak 2, Gerokgak 3, Kalisada 1, Kalisada 2, and Seririt. Data collection was carried out during three pruning to harvest periods: January–March, April–June, and July–September. Harvest period and planting location show a significant influence on green grape productivity. Observations on grape productivity in different years showed no significant results, and there was no interaction between location and harvest period. The harvest period for two consecutive years shows that the July–September harvest period gives the best yields. The quality of the yield of green grapes shown in the fruit obrix at both locations at different harvest periods shows that the obrix of this variety remains the same.

Can Coral Reef Restoration Programmes Facilitate Changes in Environmental Attitudes? A Case Study on a Rural Fisher Community in North Bali, Indonesia

There is currently limited research assessing the ecological potential of coral restoration programmes of habitat enhancement and restoration of benthic and mobile populations for influencing the attitudes (and subsequent behaviours) of the communities where they are based. Our qualitative study investigated the impact of a coral reef restoration programmes on local environmental attitudes in a rural fishing community in north Bali, Indonesia. We conducted semi-structured interviews with individuals and multi-stakeholder focus groups (n = 31) in Tianyar Village, where the NGO ‘North Bali Reef Conservation’ (‘Yowana Bhakti Segara’) was based. Our results highlight several factors that influenced environmental behaviours, including perceived value of coral reefs (e.g.,changes in fishing yield), drivers of support for coral reef restoration (e.g., local leaders’ influence) and barriers to coral reef restoration support (e.g., lack of investment). Overall, our data indicate that the restoration programme has influenced positive environmental attitudes within the community through improvements in waste management, increased support for restoration work, and the establishment of new environmental regulations. Based on our results, we make five recommendations: (1) continuing environmental education within the community, (2) strengthening regulations and improving enforcement, (3) increasing financial and logistical support for waste management and ecotourism, (4) continuing the construction and deployment of artificial reefs, ensuring ‘best practice’ recommendations are followed, and (5) utilising the influence of local leaders to create positive environmental behaviours.
