Nowadays, culture is a lifestyle that develops in a community group and is passed down from generation to generation. In addition if this culture is already attached to an area, for example Chinatown. Where these popilation and lifestyle are very thick with Chinese culture.As an example of china town that we know, Glodok, which is very attached to Chinese culture, can be seen from the old Chinese building style, the lifestyle of the people that has majority whom work as traders, and many cultural or traditional events that are held in Glodok. But in the mean time these Chinese culture starts to fading even disappearing from it, and this issue is causing the people that lived here with the inherent culture facing a crisis of regional identity and cultural identity that should be the character of Chinatown itself.This proposed project appears in the form of a Cultural Space that can accommodate traditional and cultural activities with the ultimate goal of awakening and preserving Chinese culture for the local community even on a city scale. In addition to generating and preserving, this project aims to provide a new spatial experience as the new face of Chinatown and as a breakthrough Nodes in the region. Keywords:  Chinatown; Chinese; Cultural Space; Nodes; Westernization  ABSTRAKDalam kehidupan sehari-hari budaya merupakan suatu gaya hidup yang berkembang dalam suatu kelompok masyarakat dan diwariskan secara turun menurun. Ditambah lagi jika budaya tersebut sudah melekat dengan sebuah kawasan contohnya, Pecinan dimana penduduk dan gaya hidupnya sangat kental dengan budaya China. Salah satu contoh Pecinan yang kita kenal merupakan Glodok. Kawasan Glodok yang sangat kental dengan budaya China dapat dilihat dari gaya bangunan, pola hidup masyarakatnya yang mayoritas bermata pencaharian sebagai pedagang, dan banyaknya acara kebudayaan atau tradisi yang dilakukan di kawasan Glodok.Namun seiring dengan berjalannya waktu budaya tersebut semakin memudar bahkan hilang yang menimbulkan masyarakat etnis Tionghoa yang pernah hidup di dalam kekentalan budaya disini menghadapi krisis identitas Kawasan dan identitas budaya yang seharusnya menjadi ciri khas pecinan sendiri.Muncullah usulan proyek berupa cultural space yang dapat mewadahi aktivitas tradisi dan kebudayaan dengan tujuan akhir membangkitkan dan melestarikan budaya China bagi masyarakat setempat bahkan dalam skala kota.Selain untuk membangkitkan dan melestarikan, proyek ini memiliki tujuan untuk memberi pengalaman spasial yang baru sebagai wajah Pecinan yang baru dan sebagai terobosan Nodes baru di kawasan ini.

The megaliths of Cherrapunjee are part of a prehistoric cultural tradition which is intricately woven with the sociocultural life of the Khasis and Jaintias. But material changes in the nature of society and the economy in the latter half of the twentieth century have resulted in new identity formations in Cherrapunjee and this has undermined some of the presumed certainties of cultural identity. The study documents local community attitudes regarding the megaliths and how the community accessed, interacted and used the sites today. A framework for managing archaeological heritage by integrating global and local conservation approaches in Cherrapunjee was developed.

The concept of identity in the the era of fundamental rearrangement of the cultural and national map of Europe in the XIX – XX centuries. The threat of losing the identity of entire states, separate regions, and local communities, actualizes the value of cultural specificity and view of identity as a special concept. Regional identity associated with the cultural and natural heritage of a particular region remains most common. Identity alongside cultural heritage overall, is singled out as a special category only in case of its loss. The formation of the concept was related to the process of fundamental rearrangement of the cultural and national map of Europe in during the large-scale socioeconomic processes of the XIX – XX centuries. A sense of losing cultural bonds of the people, region, or local community aroused scientific realization of the value of identity. Determination and translation of regional identity is one of the pivotal stages in socioeconomic development of the regions and formation of attractive image of the territory. Moreover, the professional, age, gender and other types of identity can be distinguished in accordance with unifying characteristics. In light of the aforementioned facts, the author proposes to view the principle of identity as a peculiarity of interpretation of the cultural heritage.

Abstract Introduction: Brazil has received influxes of people, mainly from Africa, Europe and Japan, forming one of the most heterogeneous populations in the world. Some groups, particularly in Southern Brazil, have retained their original cultural traditions, whilst acquiring elements of the typical local Brazilian cultural identity. This is the first study designed to formally evaluate biculturality in Brazil. Objective: To psychometrically assess and validate the Portuguese version of the Bicultural Scale (BS) in Brazil. Methods: The BS was adapted and translated to Portuguese and tested for the first time in Brazil in a sample of descendants (n = 160) from four immigrant groups and respective locations in Southern Brazil. A series of psychometric tests were conducted in order to examine the validity of the Portuguese version of the BS. Analyses of variance across scores for all subgroups were also conducted. Results: Factor analysis revealed two main factors contributing to most of the variance in scores. The 10 items measuring affiliation with minority cultural characteristics and the typical Brazilian culture yielded Cronbach's alpha coefficients of 0.69 and 0.78 respectively, whereas the overall Cronbach's alpha for all 20 items of the BS was 0.67. There was a significant correlation between items related to the typical Brazilian culture and the generation since immigration of research participants (r = 0.23, p = 0.004). The mean time taken to complete the questionnaire was 7.4 minutes. Conclusion: The results indicate that the Portuguese version of the BS is a valid, reliable and easy-to-use instrument to assess biculturality experienced by descendants of immigrants in southern Brazil.

Lawang City has many interesting places of tourism, one of them was Sumber Polaman Village. The village has several cultural activities such as barikan on every Friday Legi, wedding ceremony, and wiwit or rice harvest ceremony. Those traditional ritual ceremonies in this village have been routinely held by the local people to honor the ancestral spirits and as an appeal to God for the prosperity of the villagers. Along with that, those cultural rituals form a specific cultural space. This was a qualitative descriptive research with a phenomenology approach. With non numerical data, this study aims to describe the spatial pattern of cultural ritual activities in the Polaman village and analyze the cultural space formed by cultural rituals by looking at the behavioral changes patterns among the people who perform such cultural rituals.Cultural spaces in Polaman Lawang has become potential areas that must be well protected, so it can become an interesting local cultural attractions to be visited by tourists

This research discusses the form of defence of the southern coastal community which is frequently considered strange by most of the Indonesian archipelago community. The analysis began with discussing the linguistic phenomena of the local community, identifying and corroborating the findings as initial capital to determine the analysis method. The findings can be useful for making corrections or structuring social and cultural policies towards indigenous/local wisdom and preserving cultural identity. The research was oriented to the speech lexicon of the Southern coastal communities of Central Java. This research used descriptive qualitative and contextual approaches. The analysis used to describe the speech component was dialect geography and collaborated with an anthropological-linguistic approach to find innovative forms and factors that maintained local identity. As the southern coastal chain of Central Java, bordering with West Java, the nuances of cultural acculturation as a form of cultural pluralism are very visible. Cultural acculturation results in the emergence of language enclaves. The language enclave is formed because the speech community has a speech code that is different from the mother tongue and the nearest language. Language enclaves formed on the southern coast of Central Java occur at the level of internal innovation. Internal innovations in the southern coast language enclave occur in the form of allophones and allomorphs that can be traced based on the articulation process. Social heritage as a form of language preservation in the language enclave of the southern coast of Central Java is formed by the characteristics of simplicity and social intelligence of the people.

The Syriac tradition presents an exceptional opportunity to investigate how the people of a late Roman frontier articulated local community affiliation against the backdrop of the larger Mediterranean and Near Eastern worlds. Over the last decade, Syrian/Syriac identity and Roman identity in late antique Syria-Mesopotamia have emerged as topics of increasing interest. In concentrating on ethnicity, however, studies of specifically local affiliations have generally left unexamined the other modes of group identification which may have been equally or more salient. This essay fills that gap by excavating non-ethnic means of constructing local and regional identity in three Syriac texts written in and about Edessa in the pivotal century around 500 CE: the Chronicle of Pseudo-Joshua the Stylite, the Chronicle of Edessa (540), and Euphemia and the Goth. Across their differences in date and genre, these three texts demonstrate a convergent set of strategies for reconciling Edessa and its neighbors to the Roman Empire at large. Crucially, all three project notions of local belonging which focus not on ethnic markers but on particular places: in the first instance, on the city. Drawing from cultural geography’s interdependent concept of “place,” the essay shows how in these texts local identity emerges from the interaction of city, church, and empire; Edessa’s connections to the wider Roman world serve not to negate but to articulate its specificity as a community. Moreover, such place-based means of identification could be extended to frame larger regional communities too, as Ps.-Joshua does in its most distinctive moments.

SummaryDue to large inter-individual variations, the dose of vitamin K antagonist required to target the desired hypocoagulability is hardly predictible for a given patient, and the time needed to reach therapeutic equilibrium may be excessively long. This work reports on a simple method for predicting the daily maintenance dose of fluindione after the third intake. In a first step, 37 patients were delivered 20 mg of fluindione once a day, at 6 p.m. for 3 consecutive days. On the morning of the 4th day an INR was performed. During the following days the dose was adjusted to target an INR between 2 and 3. There was a good correlation (r = 0.83, p<0.001) between the INR performed on the morning of day 4 and the daily maintenance dose determined later by successive approximations. This allowed us to write a decisional algorithm to predict the effective maintenance dose of fluindione from the INR performed on day 4. The usefulness and the safety of this approach was tested in a second prospective study on 46 patients receiving fluindione according to the same initial scheme. The predicted dose was compared to the effective dose soon after having reached the equilibrium, then 30 and 90 days after. To within 5 mg (one quarter of a tablet), the predicted dose was the effective dose in 98%, 86% and 81% of the patients at the 3 times respectively. The mean time needed to reach the therapeutic equilibrium was reduced from 13 days in the first study to 6 days in the second study. No hemorrhagic complication occurred. Thus the strategy formerly developed to predict the daily maintenance dose of warfarin from the prothrombin time ratio or the thrombotest performed 3 days after starting the treatment may also be applied to fluindione and the INR measurement.
