An area is basically formed due to geographical conditions and local cultural aspects that influence it. In this Pangururan village, its geographical condition is close to Lake Toba, and the Toba Batak culture is the most abundant culture in this region. The Toba Batak culture generally inhabits around of Lake Toba in North Sumatra, which means it is located between a lake and a mountain so that the average community works as fishermen and farmers. This led to the growth of settlements around the hill area and also on the edge around Lake Toba. This is certainly an aspect that affects the characterizing of the cultural spatial structure of Pangururan district context. The purpose of this study was to get an overview of the Cultural Spatial Structure of Pangururan Regency.

This study aims to discuss the development of monument in Samosir Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia by using a descriptive analytic method with a phenomenological approach. The phenomenological approach is a tradition of qualitative research that is rooted in philosophical and psychological, and focuses on the experience of human life (sociology). The results of this study indicate that there are so many public opinions regarding the development of the monument carried out by Toba Batak community in Samosir Regency. However, the development of this monument is inseparable from two aspects, namely in terms of religion / belief and cultural aspects. The development of monument that is so fierce in Samosir Regency carries so many meanings behind the monument itself. The number of parsadaan’s monument in Samosir Regency is 19.

Pandit Nehru affirmed that women development/ empowerment is the basis for the substantial growth of a family, a village, or a nation. Development/upliftment of women is an essential ingredient of human development. Entrepreneurship development among the rural women folk would strengthen the village economy and promote regional development. The women entrepreneurs have proved that there is a source of immense untapped power in the womanhood of India (Margaret, 1992). Women undoubtedly are the backbone of the socio-economic-cultural aspects in the hill scenario. The subsistence agriculture which leads to low and unstable incomes, which in turn lead to a sizeable out-migration of male members that leads to only women headed families behind, and the role of women in the household economy becomes more important (Rawat, 2004). In the midst of limited opportunities, tough terrains and lack of resources, the contribution of women entrepreneurs to the society is enormous. An attempt was made to highlight the strategies and development aspects of rural women entrepreneurs in Almora district. Entrepreneurs who are engaged in self-employment and innovative entrepreneurial activities were selected for the study. A total of 50 samples were selected and the data were collected through interviews and focus groups. The study reveals various aspects related to rural women entrepreneurship and constraints that need attention so to empower women in their efforts toward integral development.

Comprehensive Study

Conical hills, or residual hills, are frequently mentioned landforms in the context of humid tropical karsts as they are dominant surface elements there. Residual hills are also present in temperate karsts, but generally in a less remarkable way. These landforms have not been thoroughly addressed in the literature to date, therefore the present article is the first attempt to morphometrically characterize temperate zone residual karst hills. We use the methods already developed for doline morphometry, and we apply them to the “inverse” topography using LiDAR-based digital terrain models (DTMs) of three Slovenian sample areas. The characteristics of hills and depressions are analysed in parallel, taking into account the rank of the forms. A common feature of hills and dolines is that, for both types, the empirical distribution of planform areas has a strongly positive skew. After logarithmic transformation, these distributions can be approximated by Inverse Gaussian, Normal, and Weibull distributions. Along with the rank, the planform area and vertical extent of the hills and dolines increase similarly. High circularity is characteristic only of the first-rank forms for both dolines and hills. For the sample areas, the the hill area ratios and the doline area ratios have similar values, but the total extent of the hills is slightly larger in each case. A difference between dolines and hills is that the shapes of hills are more similar to one another than those of dolines. The reason for this is that the larger, closed depressions are created by lateral coalescence, while the hills are residual forms carved from large blocks. Another significant difference is that the density of dolines is much higher than that of hills. This article is intended as a methodological starting point for a new topic, aiming at the comprehensive study of residual karst hills across different climatic areas.

The study of the grassland type Agrostis tenuis - Festuca rupicola from Valea Bistrei - Otelul Rosu has been necessary due to the great surfaces covered with grasslands from the studied area and due to the social and economic climate characterised by the orientation of the rural community from the adjacent area to agriculture after the failure of the former intensive industry.There have been studied two grassland plots of about 500 hectares, res pectively Gai and Scărisoara. The purpose of this research is to assess the state of the biodiversity and pastoral value of four Agrostis tenuis - Festuca rupicola  grasslands from the hill area. Also, there has been analysed the floristic composition and a series of ecological indexes, respectively humidity, soil reaction, temperature, light, and nitrogen. Other aspects taken in account were the life-forms spectres. The analysed grasslands are placed on Bistrei Valey, in the perimeter of the locality OÅ£elul Roșu, Caraș -Severin County. The researches have been developed during 2010-2012 period. The average elevation level in the studied area is 268 square meters. The soil from the studied area is brown type, with a pH comprised between 4.79 and 5.31. The rainfall amount is about 700 mm and the average temperature is 10 Celsius degrees. The management mode of these grasslands is extensive, the grazing period being 150 days per year. The analysed surfaces are characterised by the lack of the maintenance works, there being present erosion phenomena. The method used for the vegetation analysis is the linear point quadrate method (Daget et Poissonet, 1971), the data being used for the calculation of different ecological indexes and pastoral value. The pastoral value of the species is low in both plots due to the great contribution of the low economical values of the most of the species from the analysed grasslands.

Toba Batak Land is one of the areas in North Sumatra Province that have dominant culture characterized by among others by: (1) the majority of indigenous Batak people; (2) Batak culture (Toba) becomes a reference for the behavior of the population in interacting in local public places; (3) Batak leadership is implemented based on elements of Batak culture. In the meantime, there are also ethnic groups of immigrants, Hindus and Christians. The embodiment of ethnicity of ethnic groups of migrants finally can integrate culturally because there are similarities of divine concepts such as Trimurti on Hindu teachings, Debata na tolu on the teachings of Parmalin in Batak Toba, as well as the Trinity in the teachings of Christians

Morphological System

The objective of this study is to investigate morphological system of Toba Batak language from the view of generative transformational study. The major issue in this microlinguistic study is word formations through the processes of affixation, reduplication, and compounding. Most studies done morphologically are structural based theory which explore language phenomena unsatisfactorily. For instance, in Indonesian language the following forms are never found: *ambilan “something taken”, *berpesawat “go by aeroplane”, *keobatan “being dead or sick because of consuming too much medicine”. We, on the other hand, will find the words kiriman “something sent”, bersepeda “go by bicycle”, keracunan “being dead or sick because of consuming something poisonous”. In Toba Batak language, for example, we will not find the words *lehonan “a give”, *marsintua “visit a church functionary to consult something”, *mamiso “use a knife to cut something”. Whereas the forms tongosan “something sent”, mardatu “go to a shaman to ask for help”, and manakkul “use a hoe to do the farm” are actual words that have been used by Toba Batak language speakers. Based on the Toba Batak language phenomena above, the most relevant theory to be applied to treat such problems and the like exhaustively from descriptive to explanatory adequacy is generative morphology. In so doing, this study rests on the theory of generative morphology proposed by Halle (1973), Aronoff (1976), Scalise (1984), and Dardjowidjojo (1988). The theory requires four separated components, they are: (1) List of Morphemes, (2) Word Formation Rules, (3) Filter, and (4) Dictionary. Generative morphology has predictive power to generate actual words and potential words. The method of the study that will be applied is qualitative descriptive method, that is, a kind of linguistic method to describe language phenomena naturally without manipulation. This research will be conducted in 4 regencies in North Sumatra, they are: (1) Samosir Regency, (2) Toba Samosir Regency, (3) Humbang Hasundutan Regency, and (4) North Tapanuli Regency. There are three types of data that will be collected in this study, they are: (1) oral, (2) written, and (3) intuition. Oral data will be collected by observing, interviewing, listening attentively, and chatting with the informants. Written data will be originated from story books in Toba Batak language and bible in Toba Batak language. Intuition data will be based on the writer’s intuition because the writer is a native Toba Batak language speaker. The data will be analyzed using equal and distributional methods.

Aspergillus flavus is a soil-inhabiting fungus that frequently produces aflatoxins, potent carcinogens, in cottonseed and other seed crops. A. flavus S strain isolates, characterized on the basis of sclerotial morphology, are highly toxigenic. Spatial and temporal characteristics of the percentage of the A. flavus isolates that are S strain (S strain incidence) were used to predict patterns across areas of more than 30 km2. Spatial autocorrelation in S strain incidence in Yuma County, AZ, was shown to extend beyond field boundaries to adjacent fields. Variograms revealed both short-range (2 to 6 km) and long-range (20 to 30 km) spatial structure in S strain incidence. S strain incidence at 36 locations sampled in July 1997 was predicted with a high correlation between expected and observed values (R = 0.85, P = 0.0001) by kriging data from July 1995 and July 1996. S strain incidence at locations sampled in October 1997 and March 1998 was markedly less than predicted by kriging data from the same months in prior years. Temporal analysis of four locations repeatedly sampled from April 1995 through July 1998 also indicated a major reduction in S strain incidence in the Texas Hill area after July 1997. Surface maps generated by kriging point data indicated a similarity in the spatial pattern of S strain incidence among all sampling dates despite temporal changes in the overall S strain incidence. Geostatistics provided useful descriptions of variability in S strain incidence over space and time.

Ulos is a traditional Batak clothing that we can find in traditional events; birth, marriage, death and other Batak traditional ceremonies such as: Mandailing, Pakpak, Dairi, Sipirok-Angkola and Karo. Apart from being a typical cloth in the Batak community, Ulos is believed to be able to create a feeling of warmth and raise tondi (raga) because of the 'sacred' element inherent in Ulos. In the past, Ulos cloth was woven by 'spiritual' weavers using natural dyes. Ulos cloth is also a regional marker cloth; social level, and clan (surname). So not just any Ulos cloth can be given to someone or the community. Batak Opera Training Center (PLOt) Pematang Siantar. North Sumatra is one of the Ulos cloth user communities in every activity. The Batak Opera Group has undoubtedly existed until now. His performances reached many countries. The plays that are played also tell about the life of the Batak people and the epics of Batak heroism. The group's mission is to protect cultural heritage and develop traditional arts. For this reason, every stage of the PLOt is faithful in using hand-woven Ulos cloth. Judging from the patterns, colors and motifs of the Ulos fabrics used by PLOt, they seem "luxurious" because of their artistic value. This, of course, is not just any modification made by PLOt because the function and meaning of Ulos cloth is culturally meaningful with customary provisions. In this regard, we tried to examine the function and meaning of the Ulos cloth in the Batak Opera Training Center group which is domiciled in Pematang Siantar. North Sumatra. This research is also part of the task of the Center for Traditional Clothing Studies, which is not only examining patterns and motifs but furthermore the use of Ulos cloth outside of traditional events and traditional ceremonies.Keywords: ulos, custom, meaning, function, PLOt. AbstrakUlos merupakan pakaian tradisi yang dapat kita lihat dalam berbagai acara adat Batak seperti; lahiran, pernikahan, kematian dan upacara-upacara adat Batak lainnya di sub Batak; Mandailing, Pakpak, Dairi, Sipirok-Angkola dan Karo. Selain sebagai kain khas di masyarakat Batak, Ulos diyakini dapat menimbulkan rasa hangat dan menaikkan tondi (raga) karena unsur ‘sakral’ yang melekat didalam Ulos. Pada masa lalu kain Ulos ditenun oleh penenun ‘spritual’ dengan menggunakan pewarna alami. Kain Ulos juga merupakan kain penanda daerah; tingkatan sosial dan marga (nama keluarga). Maka tidak sembarang kain Ulos dapat diberikan kepada seseorang ataupun komunitas. Pusat Latihan Opera Batak (PLOt) Pematang Siantar. Sumatera Utara salah satu komunitas pengguna kain Ulos dalam setiap kegiatannya. Group Opera Batak ini sampai sekarang masih bertahan dan eksis dalam berbagai pertunjukan. Pentas-pentasnya merambah banyak negara. Lakon-lakon yang dimainkan berkisah tentang kehidupan masyarakat Batak dan epos kepahlawanan Batak. Misi group ini menjaga warisan budaya dan mengembangkan seni tradisi. Untuk itu, setiap pemanggungannya PLOt setia dalam menggunakan kain Ulos hasil tenunan tangan. Dilihat dari corak, warna dan motif kain-kain Ulos yang digunakan PLOt terkesan ‘mewah’ karena nilai artistik didalamnya. Hal ini, tentunya tidak sembarang modifikasi yang dilakukan oleh PLOt karena fungsi dan makna kain Ulos secara budaya memiliki arti yang sarat dengan ketentuan adat. Dalam hal tersebut, kami mencoba meneliti fungsi dan makna kain Ulos pada group Pusat Latihan Opera Batak yang berdomisili di Pematang Siantar. Sumatera Utara. Penelitian ini juga sebagai bagian dari tugas Pusat Kajian Pakaian Tradisi yang tidak saja meneliti corak dan motif tapi lebih jauh penggunaan kain Ulos diluar acara adat dan upacara-upacara adat.Kata Kunci: ulos, adat, makna, fungsi, PLOt.Authors: Enrico Alamo : Institut Seni Indonesia PadangpanjangMeria Eliza : Institut Seni Indonesia PadangpanjangGiat Syailillah : Institut Seni Indonesia PadangpanjangReferences:Alamo, E., Minawati, R., Sulaiman, S., & Novalinda, S.
