AbstractPost-independence ethnic minorities inhabiting the Southeast Asian borderlands were willingly or unwillingly pulled into the macro politics of territoriality and state formation. The rugged and hilly borderlands delimiting the new nation-states became battlefronts of state-making and spaces of confrontation between divergent political ideologies. In the majority of the Southeast Asian borderlands, this implied violent disruption in the lives of local borderlanders that came to affect their relationship to their nation-state. A case in point is the ethnic Iban population living along the international border between the Indonesian province of West Kalimantan and the Malaysian state of Sarawak on the island of Borneo. Based on local narratives, the aim of this paper is to unravel the little known history of how the Iban segment of the border population in West Kalimantan became entangled in the highly militarized international disputes with neighbouring Malaysia in the early 1960s, and in subsequent military co-operative ‘anti-communist’ ‘counter-insurgency’ efforts by the two states in the late 1960–1970s. This paper brings together facets of national belonging and citizenship within a borderland context with the aim of understanding the historical incentives behind the often ambivalent, shifting and unruly relationship between marginal citizens like the Iban borderlanders and their nation-state.

Land fires are an annual agenda in Indonesia, especially in areas covered by peatlands. Peatland management using fire is the main cause. The general paradigm for land fires is that the farmers' economy is low. In fact, the factors that cause land fires are not only from the economic aspect, but from the social and institutional aspects which affect the behavior of farmers. Therefore, the purpose of this study is (1) to analyze the correlation of factors that influence land burning behavior, and (2) to determine the model for the changing of burning behavior into non burning farm land cultivation, in order to prevent land fire in Kuburaya Disrict and Bengkayang District, West Kalimantan. The research involved farmers farming on peatlands in both districts. Regression models was used for the correlation analysis. Based on the results of the regression analysis, a land burning behavior change model was determined based on the influencing factors descriptively. The result of the analysis showed the factors that significantly influence land burning behavior at the household level are knowledge level (consist of farming problems faced by farmers, agricultural extension materials and the application of technology), observance of rules, activeness of mutual assistance, cosmopolitan level, appraisal on burning behavior, and imitation level. The resulting model for changing the behavior of burning land is implementing activity of assistance, social capital stimulus and positive agreements/ pressure to the land users.

Floating houses or Rumah Lanting are one of the settlement cultures found in most river streams in Kalimantan and are observed to be different from several other houses in the area. They are mitigation-proof houses designed to respond to the risk of disasters usually experienced in the traditional settlements of West Kalimantan. Their structures have the ability to adapt to environmental conditions including natural disasters such as the river tides routinely experienced as a flood during the rainy season and as ebb in the dry season. This study aimed to identify the human-adaptation process existing in these floating houses through direct observation for two years during the dry and rainy seasons as well as in-depth interviews conducted with occupants of these buildings. The adaptation processes identified include the active and passive adaptation of the dwellers. The active aspect was observed from the behavior of occupants in accommodating the occurrence of disaster in the surrounding environment while the passive was identified as the physical changes implemented in the building to mitigate the disaster. The focus of this research was on some dwellings on the river banks settlement in the Melawi River near Sintang Regency of West Kalimantan Province and a qualitative approach with a case study was implemented. The samples were determined through a non-probability approach in the form of a purposive sampling method based on certain selected criteria which included the previous experience of ebb and flow of river water in the Rumah Lanting. The results showed the existence of active and passive adaptations for the dwellers of the floating houses in West Kalimantan. The active aspect observed involves the behavior of the occupants in adapting to natural disasters with the focus on the changes in the activity patterns, territory, and privacy. Meanwhile, the passive aspect showed some modifications in the architectural elements of the building such as the position, orientation, access, and function.

Flags and national anthems, as symbols of the nation state, frequently rely on music, lyrics and visual design to enlist and manipulate emotional bonds. Can these same tools be used, alternatively, to disentangle connections to our concepts of country, notions of borders or even the idea of the nation state itself? This is the question at the core of Pan-terrestrial People’s Anthem, an interdisciplinary remixing of the lyrics and music of 195 countries’ national anthems and their corresponding flags to create a body of poetry, music and videos. In an era of increasing closed-door nationalism, this article proposes that remix strategies can be used to unravel our concepts of nations, which traditionally magnify differences between countries and overemphasize a false sense of uniqueness, and to point instead to the interconnectedness between populations. In this context, remix strategies become a model for a future imaginary, a world that emphasizes the interdependence of beings and spaces that transcend established geopolitical boundaries. Through the case study of Pan-terrestrial People’s Anthem, I argue that remix strategies are particularly well suited as an aesthetic structural tactic for engaging with pressing issues where intertwined and entangled futures are at stake.

Multiple Case

This chapter presents the outcome of two empirical research studies that assess the implementation and validation of the cybersecurity audit model (CSAM), designed as a multiple-case study in two different Canadian higher education institution. CSAM can be applied for undertaking cybersecurity audits in any organization or nation state in order to evaluate and measure the cybersecurity assurance, maturity, and cyber readiness. The architecture of CSAM is explained in central sections. CSAM has been examined, implemented, and established under three research scenarios: (1) cybersecurity audit of all model domains, (2) cybersecurity audit of numerous domains, and (3) a single cybersecurity domain audit. The chapter concludes by showing how the implementation of the model permits one to report relevant information for future decision making in order to correct cybersecurity weaknesses or to improve cybersecurity domains and controls; thus, the model can be implemented and sufficiently tested at any organization.

Theoretical Reflection

Communication and social practices of migrants are changing the dynamics of integration policies. Terms like globalization or transnationalization denote (apparently) an increased flow of information, goods, and capital across nation-state borders. However, borders are open for transactions, not for people. Located in the research thematic area of the Information Society, this article presents some technological, geographical, and social (TGS) characteristics that create a space the author calls e-migration, where the intervention of technology in society produces changes never seen before. This article is a theoretical reflection that discussed a case study of integration and immigration policies of French e-migrants (from the European Union, EU) and Ecuadorians (non-EU) in Catalonia, Spain. The article concludes with a discussion of some implications for future empirical research on e-migration.

Muara Sungai Sambas merupakan gerbang bagi kapal-kapal yang akan melakukan aktivitas bongkar muat hasil tangkapan ikan di PPN Pemangkat. Besarnya konsentrasi material padatan tersuspensi berkaitan dengan tingkat sedimentasi di muara Sungai Sambas yang dapat menyebabkan pendangkalan sehingga aliran sungai ke laut terhambat dan alur pelayaran terganggu. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui konsentrasi dan pola sebaran material padatan tersuspensi di muara Sungai Sambas Provinsi Kalimantan Barat. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode studi kasus. Analisis material padatan tersuspensi menggunakan metode Gravimetri. Data utama yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini meliputi data material padatan tersuspensi, arus,  dan pasang surut serta data pendukung berupa peta batimetri, dan peta RBI. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasi material padatan tersuspensi terbesar berada di muara sungai dan semakin mengecil kearah laut lepas dengan konsentrasi material padatan tersuspensi saat pasang berkisar antara 67-600 mg/l serta konsentrasi material padatan tersuspensi saat surut berkisar antara 11-321 mg/l. Jenis arus yang mendominasi di muara Sungai Sambas adalah arus pasang surut. Tipe pasang surut yaitu campuran condong ke harian ganda. Kurangnya informasi mengenai arah pergerakan dan besaran konsentrasi material padatan tersuspensi di muara Sungai Sambas menjadikan penelitian untuk mengetahui konsentrasi dan pola sebaran material padatan tersuspensi di perairan tersebut diperlukan. Sambas Estuaries is the entrance for every fisherman boats which will do loading and unloading activity for their fishing at PPN Pemangkat. The amount of total suspended matter concentration is related to the sedimentation at the Sambas estuaries which can cause sedimentation so the river flow hampered and the shipping line disrupted. The purpose of this research is to know the concentration and the distribution of total suspended solid at Sambas Estuaries, West Kalimantan. The method which is used in this research is case study method. Data processing is using gravimetric analysis. The main data used in this research are data of total suspended solid, current, tidal and supporting data such as bathymetri map, RBI map. Based on data processing, known that the highest value of total suspended solid was at estuary and decreased toward the sea with the conscentration at tides ranged between 67-600 mg/l whereas concentration at low tide ranged between 11-321 mg/l. The type tidal which is belong mixed dominant semidiurnal type. Lack of information on the direction of movement and the concentration of total suspended solid at Sambas Estuaries makes research to find out the concentration and distribution of total suspended solid is held at the waters.
