Abstract A mathematical model of a hybrid culture system supported with a stationary layer of liquid perfluorochemical (PFC) as a source of O2 for cells which grow in the aqueous phase of culture medium has been developed and discussed. The two-substrate Monod kinetics without inhibition effects, i.e. the Tsao-Hanson equation, has been assumed to characterise the biomass growth. The Damköhler number which relates the growth rate to the mass transfer effects has been used to appraise the regime (i.e. diffusion-limited or kinetics) of the whole process. The proposed model predicted accurately previously published data on the submerged batch cultures of Nicotiana tabacum BY-2 heterotrophic cells performed in a culture system supported with a stationary layer of hydrophobic perfluorodecalin as a liquid O2 carrier. Estimated values of the parameters of the model showed that the process proceeded in the kinetics regime and the growth kinetics, not the effects of the mass transfer between aqueous phase and liquid PFC, had essential influence on the growth of biomass.

Pertemuan antara dua budaya berbeda (Eropa dan Asia) memunculkan satu kebudayaan campuran atau kebudayaan hibrid. Salah satunya lahir di dalam masyarakat Perkebunan Batu Lawang Banjar, yang telah berdiri sejak zaman Belanda. Apa dan bagaimana kebudayaan hibrid tersebut, akan menjadi satu permasalahan pokok, sehingga tulisan ini bertujuan mengungkap kebudayaan hibrid di Perkebunan Batu Lawang Banjar. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian survey dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui studi literatur, wawancara sejarah lisan, dan arsip kolonial. Hasil yang diperoleh, dengan menggunakan konsep komunikasi nonverbal, bahwa kebudayaan hibrid di perkebunan peninggalan zaman Belanda, menunjukkan adanya klasifikasi sosial ekonomi yang hierarkis dan rasis. Masyarakat perkebunan khususnya terbagi ke dalam golongan Eropa dan pribumi Indonesia, yang berimbas terhadap status pekerjaan. Golongan Eropa menduduki posisi penting sebagai kelas atas (pejabat tinggi perkebunan), sedangkan golongan pribumi menjadi buruh atau karyawan perkebunan sebagai kelas bawah. Pencampuran antara kedua golongan atau kelas sosial tersebut, melahirkan kebudayaan hibrid. Pada masa sekarang kebudayaan hibrid warisan kolonial di perkebunan, dapat ditemukan bukti fisiknya berupa artefak perkebunan dan keberadaan golongan peranakan Indo-Eropa sebagai anak dari hasil perkawinan campuran, serta informasi lisan dari pelaku.  The meeting between two different cultures (Europe and Asia) raises a mixed culture or hybrid culture. One of them was born in the community of Banjar Batu Lawang plantation, which had been established since the Dutch era. What and how the hybrid culture, will become the main problem, so this paper aims to reveal hybrid culture at the Banjar Batu Lawang Plantation. The research method used is the survey research method with data collection techniques through literature studies, oral history interviews, and colonial archives. The results obtained, using the concept of nonverbal communication, that hybrid culture in plantations inherited from the Dutch era, indicate a hierarchical and racist socio-economic classification. Plantation communities in particular are divided into European and indigenous Indonesian groups, which impact on employment status. The European group occupies an important position as the upper class (high-ranking plantation officials), while the indigenous group becomes laborers or plantation workers as the lower class. Mixing between the two groups or social classes gave birth to a hybrid culture. At present the colonial heritage of hybrid culture on plantations can be found in physical evidence in the form of plantation artifacts and the existence of Indo-European breeders as children of mixed marriages, as well as verbal information from the perpetrators.

Pertunjukan ini berawal dari sebuah ide untuk mengkolaborasikan tradisi Karo dengan budaya populer. Dengan cara seperti ini pertunjukan bisa dinikmati tanpa batasan bahasa dan budaya. Proses menggabungkan dua budaya yang berbeda merupakan bentuk budaya hibrida dan terjadi akibat proses globalisasi. Melalui proses pengendapan pengamatan dan kesan yang kuat, pertunjukan ini dibawa ke dalam bentuk Hip Hop. Pertunjukan ini merupakan bagian dari sebuah tragedi modern dengan karakter destruktif, mengeksplorasi emosi dan menyampaikannya kepada penonton. Eksplorasi budaya Karo dan tari Hip Hop sebagai bahasa simbol mampu memperkuat kata-kata. Gerak tidak diungkapkan dengan kata lisan tetapi disajikan melalui gerak tari Hip Hop. Penafsiran legenda dan teks ke dalam gerak, melalui proses pelatihan di laboratorium sebagai proses pencarian dan eksperimentasi diwujudkan dengan mempertimbangkan unsur-unsur dasar dari Hip Hop, unsur budaya Karo dan tontonan. Karo Hip Hop diharapkan menjadi bentuk estetika teater modern yang diinginkan tanpa kehilangan tradisi.Kata kunci: Tari Karo kontemporer, Hip-hop, budaya hibridaABSTRACTPertunjukan Teater Karo Hip Hop Kontemporer KAI. The performance of Karo Theater collaborated with Hip Hop stems from a simple idea to collaborate Karo cultural traditions with popular culture. The performances can be enjoyed without having limitation on the language and culture. The process of combining two different cultures is a form of hybrid culture, and it may occur due to the globalization process. Through the process of deposition of the observations and strong impression, this performance is then brought into the form of Hip Hop as a preferred form which is energetic, personal and global. This performance is part of a modern tragedy with its destructive character which has explored the emotion and has presented it to the audiences. The exploration of Karo cultural tradition and Hip Hop dance as a language of symbols is able to reinforce words. The movement is not revealed by the verbal phrase but is presented through the movement of Hip Hop dance. The interpretation of the legend and texts into movement is carried out through the training process at the laboratory as a searching process and experiment, and afterward can be realized by considering the basic elements of Hip Hop, Karo cultural elements and performance. Karo Hip Hop Theatre is expected to become a preferred aesthetic form of a modern theater without losing its tradition form.Keyword: a contemporary Karo theater, Hip Hop, hybrid culture.

This chapter demonstrates that, while scholars have long focused on the economic origins of the middle class, it is crucial to understand the ways in which it fashioned itself. Although the universe of the Indian middle class revolved around contesting colonial categories, the chapter shows that the project of self-fashioning of the Indian middle class was not an instance of alternative modernity, nor did the locality of the middle class in colonial India result in producing some sort of indigenism. This middle class borrowed, adapted, and appropriated the pleasures of modernity and tweaked and subverted it to suit their project of self-fashioning. An area in which such cosmopolitan domesticity can be observed was the culinary culture of colonial Bengal, which utilized both vernacular ingredients and British modes of cooking in order to establish a Bengali bourgeois cuisine. This process of indigenization was an aesthetic choice that was imbricated in the upper caste and in the patriarchal agenda of middle-class social reform, and it developed certain social practices, including imagining the act of cooking as a classic feminine practice and the domestic kitchen as a sacred space. It was often this hybrid culture that marked the colonial middle classes.

Despite similar financial goals among healthy volunteers, there are regional differences in the culture of Phase I participation. Chapter 3 focuses on this theme to further unpack variations in how patterns of imbricated stigma influence healthy volunteers’ perceptions of Phase I trials, particularly with respect to the longevity of their study involvement. Specifically, East Coast participants tend to be well-networked as part of their long-term, active pursuit of clinical trials, but they often also express anti-capitalist critiques of the industry. In comparison, Midwesterners tend to be more passive about their trial participation, thinking of it as a short-term financial opportunity to counterbalance a temporary setback. West Coast participants occupy a hybrid culture between those of the East Coast and Midwest participants, actively seeking out new studies but expressing a distrust in the clinics and wanting to limit their study involvement. These regional cultures act as a prism for healthy volunteers’ perceptions of Phase I trials, shaping whether and how they adopt identities as research participants.

Cultural fusion is the process of integrating new information and generating new cultural forms. Cultural fusion theory recognizes the world as a churning information environment of cultural legacies, competing and complementing one another, forming novel cultural expressions in all aspects of life, including music, cuisine, pedagogy, legal systems, governance, economic behavior, spirituality, healthcare, norms of personal and interpersonal style, family structures, and so forth. This is a process of pan-evolution, involving countless channels, not merely two cultures coming together to form a third, hybrid culture. During this process the traditional pace and form of change is itself changing. Cultures are also transformed as a result of the churning process of an emergent global semantic field generated by countless networked exchanges.
