Penelitian foraminifera bentik dari 15 percontoh sedimen dasar laut di bagian utara Selat Sunda, Perairan Bakauheni, Lampung telah dilakukan secara kuantitatif. Keterdapatan foraminifera bentik di daerah penelitian sangat melimpah dan bervariasi yaitu terdiri dari 142 spesies (65 genera) yang diidentifikasi dari 7.799 spesimen. Berdasarkan penelitian ini diperoleh bahwa kelimpahan dan komposisi spesies foraminifera di bagian timur (sekitar Bakauheni) cenderung lebih tinggi (rata-rata 6,24%) dibandingkan dengan bagian barat (rata-rata 4,7%) daerah penelitian. Hal ini kemungkinan dapat dikaitkan dengan arah pergerakan arus dasar laut yang bekerja di daerah penelitian. Keanekaragaman foraminifera bentik tertinggi terdapat pada titik lokasi BHL-36 yang terletak di bagian barat daerah penelitian dan terdiri dari 104 spesies. Kelimpahan tertinggi (10,07%) terdapat pada titik lokasi BHL-25 yang terletak tidak jauh dari Pelabuhan Bakauheni dan didominasi oleh spesies tertentu yang dapat bertahan hidup. Subordo Rotaliina merupakan kelompok utama di daerah penelitian yang dicirikan oleh genera Asterorotalia, Operculina, dan Elphidium. Benthic foraminifera from fifteen surface sediment samples in the northern part of Sunda Strait, Bakauheni Waters, Lampung have been analysed quantitatively. The occurrences of benthic foraminifera in the study area are very abundance and varied, it comprises of 142 species (65 genera), which is identified from 7,799 specimens. Based on this research, it is resulted that the abundance and diversity of foraminifera in the east (around Bakauheni) are higher (average of 6.24%) than in the west (average of 4,7%) of the study area. It may relate to bottom current pattern that work in the study area. The highest diversity of benthic foraminifera occurs at site BHL-36, which lies in west part of the study area and it comprises of 104 species. The highest number of individu (10.07%) occurs at the site of BHL-25, which is close to Bakauheni Harbour and it is dominated by certain survived species. Subordo Rotaliina is the main group found in the study area that is characterized by genera of Asterorotalia, Operculina, and Elphidium.

Perairan Aceh termasuk Pulau Weh, Pulau Breuh dan Pulau Penasi merupakan area terluar di sisi barat Kepulauan Indonesia yang menghadap ke Samudera Hindia. Wilayah ini sangat menarik bagi para peneliti terutama setelah kejadian tsunami pada tahun 2004. Tujuan dari penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui distribusi foraminifera sebagai organisme yang sensitif terhadap perubahan lingkungan. Sebanyak 32 contoh sedimen diambil pada kedalaman 7- 170 meter dan terpilih 11 contoh untuk studi foraminifera. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada 45 spesies foraminifera bentik yang sangat berlimpah, terdiri atas 28 spesies anggota Subordo Rotaliina, Miliolina (7 spesies) dan Textulariina (10 spesies). Amphistegina papilosa dijumpai dalam jumlah sangat berlimpah dan tersebar merata yang memberi indikasi kondisi lingkungan terumbu karang baik. Ammonia tepida sangat dominan (47%) di sebelah utara Pulau Weh (S30) dibandingkan dengan spesies lain. Di bagian Timur Pulau Penasi, ditemukan cangkang foraminifera dalam kondisi rusak dalam jumlah berlimpah yang dapat dikaitkan dengan arus kuat di lokasi ini. Kata kunci : foraminifera bentik, distribusi, perairan Aceh The Aceh waters including Weh, Breuh and Penasi islands are the outer parts of northwestern Indonesia that facing the Indian Ocean. This area is interested for many scientists especially after tsunami in 2004. The purpose of this study is to establish the distribution of benthic foraminifera as a sensitive indicator of environmental changes. Thirty two (32) surface sediment samples were collected at the water depth of 7-170 m and eleven samples were selected for foraminiferal study. The results show 45 species of benthic foraminifera very abundantly and consists of 28 species belong to Suborder Rotaliina, Miliolina (7 species) and Textularia (10 species). Amphistegina papilosa is found abundantly and widely distribution that provide an indication of good reef environments. Ammonia tepida is very dominant(47%) in the northern part of Weh island compared with other species. Abnormal shells of foraminifera were found abundantly in the eastern part of Penasi Island that related to strong current in this area. Keywords: benthic foraminifera, distribution, Aceh waters

To study the foraminiferal assemblage from the Karai shale, one hundred and nineteen surface sediment samples were collected systematically. The collected samples were processed using standard micropaleontological techniques. Ninety- eight species of well - preserved foraminifera were obtained from the samples. Of the ninety-eight species, eighty-nine were benthic foraminifera and nine were planktic foraminifera. The specific identification of the foraminifera was done after comparing them with those described and illustrated by various workers from the Cretaceous of Southern India. The age of the samples was assigned as Albian based on the presence of planktic foraminiferal species viz. Hedbergella delrioensis, Hedbergella planispira, Praeglobotruncana delrioensis, Praeglobotruncana stephani, Planomalina buxtorfi and Thalmanninella balernaensis.

Foraminifera are generally live in sea water with various sizes. These organisms consist of planktonic and benthic foraminifera. Geological activity on plutonic and volcanic with vomiting magma is transpiring on, and then affects sedimentation and foraminiferal abundance of Ambon Bay. The study was determined to study the abundance and distribution of foraminifera based on the sediment characteristic of Ambon Bay. Sample collected in 2007 of Ambon Bay showed that only 29 samples of 50 samples containing foraminifera. The collected sediments have 86 species of foraminifera, consisting 61 species of benthic foraminifera and 25 species of planktonic foraminifera. The dominant benthic foraminifera in the surface sediment of Ambon bay were Amphistegina lessonii, Ammoniabeccarii,Elphidium craticulatum,Operculina ammonoides and Quinqueloculina parkery. The planktonic foraminifera that were frequently collected from the bay were Globorotalia tumida, Globoquadrina pseudofoliata, Globigerinoides pseudofoliata, Globigerinoides cyclostomus dan Pulleniatina finalis. Generally, the species dwelled as abundant on substrate sand, whereas the areas within substrate mud have no foraminifera lie on them. Keywords: Foraminifera, Abundance, Sediment, Ambon Bay

Excavations in Midea continued in 2007 as a Greek-Swedish programme under the direction of Dr Katie Demakopoulou in collaboration with Dr Ann-Louise Schallin. In the West Gate area excavation continued in the west part of the building complex that abuts the fortification wall. Room XIV was excavated with abundant remains of LH IIIB2 pottery. A sealstone with a unique, possibly ritual, scene was also found. On the lower west terrace of the acropolis excavation continued in Trench C, where a large section of the fortification wall was uncovered. Room I was excavated here, adjacent to the inner face of the fortification wall. Finds in this room date to the early phase of LH IIIC, under which there was ample evidence of the LH IIIB2 destruction, including human skeletons. Under this debris, a large opening leading to a gallery or syrinx through the thickness of the fortification wall was found. Excavation was resumed also in the East Gate area, where a new wall was revealed in the baulk between Trench 3 and Room 9. The wall is perpendicular to the citadel wall and borders Trench 3. Excavation was also resumed in Trenches 9 and 14. The latest Mycenaean material in this area dates to LH IIIB2, but there is evidence of post-Bronze Age activity, which is demonstrated mainly by pottery finds.

This work is the result of the doctoral thesis entitled Pilgrimage of Bom Jesus da Lapa: Social Reproduction of the Family and Female Gender Identity, specifically the second chapter that talks about women in the Pilgrimage of Bom Jesus da Lapa, emphasizing gender relations, analyzing the location of the pilgrimage as a social reproduction of the patriarchal family and female gender identity. The research scenario is the Bom Jesus da Lapa Pilgrimage, which has been held for 329 years, in that city, located in the West part of Bahia. The research participants are pilgrim women who are in the age group between 50 and 70 years old and have participated, for more than five consecutive years in the Bom Jesus da Lapa Pilgrimage, belonging to five Brazilian states (Bahia, Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Espírito Santo and Goiás) that register a higher frequency of attendance at this religious event. We used bibliographic, qualitative, field and documentary research and data collection as our methodology; we applied participant observation and semi-structured interviews as a technique. We concluded that the Bom Jesus da Lapa Pilgrimage is a location for family social reproduction and the female gender identity, observing a contrast in the resignification of the role and in the profile of the pilgrim women from Bom Jesus da Lapa, alternating between permanence and the transformation of gender identity coming from patriarchy.

Abstract Surface sediment samples obtained at the offshore and nearshore area of Lake Erie were separated into eight different size fractions ranging from <2 µm to 250 µm. The concentration of major elements (Si, Al, Ca, Mg, K, Na, Fe, Mn and P), metals (Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni, V, Co and Pb) and organic matter was determined together with the mineralogical composition and morphology of the particles in each size fraction. The distribution of the metals in the offshore sediment was bimodal with the majority of the metals divided between the 63 to 250 um size fraction which also contained the highest concentration of organic matter (about 20%) and the <4 µm fraction containing up to 60% of clay minerals. However, the metals in the nearshore sediment were associated mainly with the clay minerals.
