The Triple Helix in Indonesian Sustainable Crab Industry

This article describes how the United States is often accused as a country that applies non-quantitative trading barriers by rejecting export from other countries. Indonesia is one such country which the products are often refused entry, with the reason that they do not meet quality standards, security and safety issues. This also happens in the fishing and marine industries. Using a case study of the crab industry in Betahwalang, Mid Java, this article explains how trading barriers on fishery and marine industry, can be overcome with triple helix between government, industry, and university, thereby creating a sustainable crab industry. This triple helix benefits not limited to the customers, but also the industry that the majority are small businesses. A model of sustainability practices based triple helix is developed that can be applied to other industries and or areas, particularly in small businesses for Indonesian Fishery Industry.

This paper focuses on gendered mobilities of highly skilled researchers working abroad. It is based on an empirical qualitative study that explored the mobility aspirations of Austrian scientists who were working in the United States at the time they were interviewed. Supported by a case study, the paper demonstrates how a qualitative research strategy including graphic drawings sketched by the interviewed persons can help us gain a better understanding of the gendered importance of social relations for the future mobility aspirations of scientists working abroad.

John Rae, a Scottish antiquarian collector and spirit merchant, played a highly prominent role in the local natural history societies and exhibitions of nineteenth-century Aberdeen. While he modestly described his collection of archaeological lithics and other artefacts, principally drawn from Aberdeenshire but including some items from as far afield as the United States, as a mere ‘routh o’ auld nick-nackets' (abundance of old knick-knacks), a contemporary singled it out as ‘the best known in private hands' (Daily Free Press 4/5/91). After Rae's death, Glasgow Museums, National Museums Scotland, the University of Aberdeen Museum and the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford, as well as numerous individual private collectors, purchased items from the collection. Making use of historical and archive materials to explore the individual biography of Rae and his collection, this article examines how Rae's collecting and other antiquarian activities represent and mirror wider developments in both the ‘amateur’ antiquarianism carried out by Rae and his fellow collectors for reasons of self-improvement and moral education, and the ‘professional’ antiquarianism of the museums which purchased his artefacts. Considered in its wider nineteenth-century context, this is a representative case study of the early development of archaeology in the wider intellectual, scientific and social context of the era.
