This chapter considers the phenomenon of queer migration from a linguistic perspective, paying particular attention to the constitutive role of spatial mobility in narrative and its role in the construction of queer migrant identities. The chapter begins by looking at the way in which queer migration has been discussed in the literature and then moves on to address three different types of queer migration in greater depth: migration within national borders from the village/countryside to the city; migration between cities in member states within the context of the European Union; and finally, asylum-seeking within the context of migration from the Global South to the Global North. The chapter concludes by suggesting that queer migration is a complex phenomenon in which the intersection of sexuality, gender identity, desire, affect, abjection, economic necessity, class, politics, and fear for one’s life combine in ways that are unique in the lives of individual migrants.

Tulisan ini memaparkan tentang peranan pertunjukan Barikan Qubra dalam mendukung pariwisata di Karimunjawa. Barikan Qubra semula adalah upacara adat bulanan, di mana setiap penduduk Karimunjawa membuat sesaji tumpeng kecil, telur, garam, kacang ijo,  dan cabe merah. Sesaji ini diletakkan di perempatan desa (sekarang sudah menjadi di tengah kota), dengan maksud sebagai ungkapan rasa syukur warga atas panen ikan setiap hari, harapan keselamatan setiap warganya, dan agar dijauhkan dari gangguan penyakit.  Adat Barikan Qubra dilaksanakan setiap hari Kamis Wage menjelang Jumat Pon. Namun 5 tahun belakangan ini dijadikan sekali dalam setahun. Pemerintah desa dengan segenap simpatisan budaya membentuk panitia penyelenggara dengan konsep pergelaran budaya yang lebih besar. Setelah dilaksanakan pertama kali di tahun 2015 dan mendapat tanggapan positif dari seluruh elemen masyarakat, maka ujicoba  ini dijadikan event penting di setiap tahunnya, guna meningkatkan kedatangan wisatawan. Barikan Qubra yang dahulu sebagai upacara adat kini dikemas sebagai seni pertunjukan arak-arakan yang menarik, namun tidak meninggalkan nilai ritual mereka. Arak-arakan atau pawai upacara Barikan Qubra menjadi hal yang ditunggu-tunggu setiap tahunnya. Pawai Barikan Qubra dilaksanakan dari perempatan desa menuju pelabuhan atau dermaga di mana para nelayan  beraktivitas mencari ikan. Tidak hanya sampai di situ, puncak acara pertunjukan berakhir di Alun-alun desa Karimunjawa di mana para warga dan pengunjung menjadi satu dengan wisatawan. Gunungan yang dibuat dengan ukuran besar menjadi rebutan para pengunjung yang hadir. Masyarakat percaya, apabila mendapatkan bagian dari gunungan tersebut, mereka akan mendapat banyak berkah dari Tuhan. This paper presents the results of research on the role of the Barikan Qubra show in supporting tourism in Karimunjawa. The original Qubra was a monthly traditional ceremony, in which every Karimunjawa resident made small cone offerings, eggs, salt, green beans and red chili. These offerings are placed at the village intersection (now in the middle of the city), with the intention of expressing gratitude for waraga for harvesting fish every day and being kept away from diseased diseases and the safety of every citizen.   Indigenous Barikan Qubra which is held every Thursday Wage before Friday Pon, the past 5 years are made once a year. The village government with all cultural sympathizers formed an organizing committee with the concept of a larger cultural performance. After being implemented in 2015 received a positive response from all elements of society, the trial was made an important event every year, to increase tourist arrivals. Baring the Qubra which used to be a traditional ceremony is now packaged as an interesting performing art but does not abandon the value of their rituals.   Indigenous Barikan Qubra which is held every Thursday Wage before Friday Pon, the past 5 years are made once a year.

Peacemaking, peacekeeping, and peacebuilding have generated considerable interest in the areas of education, research, and politics. This can be attributed in part to the growing recognition that there are limits to violence and that proactive violence prevention is more cost-effective than reactive conflict prevention. Peacebuilding became part of the official discourse when the United Nations Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali introduced the concept of post-conflict peacebuilding in the Agenda for Peace. The agenda specified four areas of action relating to preventive diplomacy, peacemaking, peacekeeping, and peacebuilding. Two important documents have helped bring peacebuilding to the mainstream: the 2000 Brahimi Report, a response to the failures of complex UN peacekeeping in the 1990s, and In Larger Freedom: Towards Development, Security and Human Rights, which led to the establishment of the Peacebuilding Commission. Conflict prevention and peacebuilding have also been mainstreamed in the European Union and in most of the foreign offices of the member states. A central focus of studies on peacebuilding is the interrelationships between peacemaking, political change, development, peacekeeping, and reconciliation. Despite the progress made in terms of research, there are a number of gaps and challenges that still need to be addressed. Many analysts, for example, leave the end state vague and implicit and make no systematic differentiation between different types of peace. With respect to context, two salient issues require more attention: the qualities of a peacebuilder and the role of integrative power. The widest research gap is found in the planning of the peacebuilding process.

The aim of the article is to define the role of the agricultural sector in the legal systems of national emissions ceilings in the European Union, and in particular the requirements of the amended legal basis in this respect – Directive No 2016/2284 of 14 December 2016 on the reduction of national emissions of certain atmospheric pollutants, amending Directive 2003/35/EC and repealing Directive 2001/81/EC. This law, in addition to the Nitrates Directive, is currently one of the most important regulations of EU law on protection against environmental pollution from agricultural sources. Among the pollutants covered by the reduction obligation under Directive 2016/2284 NEC, ammonia is the most critical pollutant of agricultural origin, hence the crucial importance for agriculture of the measures aimed at reducing emissions of this substance. These measures are mainly of an optional nature and it is up to the Member States to determine how to achieve the national reduction target. It is therefore necessary to design the right mix of measures and match them with the different types of agricultural activities when developing relevant national strategies. It is also necessary to combine them with other regulations, in particular on industrial emissions and water protection, and to address the issues of nitrogen circle in a systemic manner, not only at farm level but also throughout the entire food chain.

Previously, several toponymy studies have already been conducted both in the Nusa (Island) Ambon as well as in the City of Ambon. However, previous studies have not used the historical-archaeological approach. The use of this approach could ease the researchers to reveal the cross-cultural meeting in a specific locus. Taking the Island of Ambon as a locus, the researchers aim to find the origin of village names and the cultural intersection in Leihitu and Leitimor Peninsula. There were three steps conducted to collect and analyse data using historical-archaeological approach. Firstly, the researchers identified and took a tabulation of the village names, mentioned by the Hikayat Tanah Hitu (The Epic of Hitu Land) and three ancient maps. Secondly, the researchers identified various archaeological remains located in the scattered villages. Finally, the researchers analysed the origin of village names by searching the word-meanings, finding the present locations, and describing the role of the contemporary cultures (Islamic and Colonial period) in the past. The researchers found 12 villages with 22 archaeological remains. All related communities have the archaeological remains which could explain the local dynamics, but there are merely ten villages which name meanings could be identified.

The Akkulsk Mosque, located about 30 kilometers from the city of Semey in northeastern Kazakhstan, was built between 1905 and 1907. With the establishment of Soviet power, the building of the mosque was used as a school and a club and ceased to function as a mosque. In the 1970s, as many inhabitants were living in the village, the building of the mosque began to decay and is currently in a critical situation. Despite the decaying process, people continue to worship the mosque as a sacred object. This allows us to rethink the role of the mosque as a place of spiritual worship, to analyze the unusual form of Islamic religiosity in the post-Soviet period as well as the impact of the Soviet regime on Islam in Kazakhstan.
