The Meaning of Name a Place in Perspective Java Migrant Custom in Lampung, Indonesia

Every place on earth has a name. The origin of place names generally has different backgrounds, stories, and histories. Generally, it depends on who gave the name of the place. There is a meaning and purpose behind the naming. This study aims to determine the socio-cultural ecological life of the community in an area and analyze the meaning contained in the socio-cultural context. This qualitative research is sourced from 26 informants. In addition to interviews, this research relies on observation and documentation studies to obtain a comprehensive toponym. This research was conducted at Gedong Tataan. Gedong Tataan is an area where is located that shows the history of transmigration in Lampung during the Dutch colonial period in Indonesia. The results of this study indicate that the naming of Gedong Tataan by the Javanese is influenced by the physical aspects of the area based on the socio-cultural aspect of Java. This study concludes that all areas inhabited by Javanese transmigrants in Lampung have a toponym according to the origin of the population from Java, including the use of the Javanese language for daily communication. This behavior belongs to the realm of cultural preservation and it still thrives in migration and transmigration areas.

Verifying Effects of Homa Therapy with Herbal Woods on Air Quality in Indian Festive Season

In pandemic, the economic crises and health issues have brought the whole human race in unprecedented situation. Pandemic is not a single reason of health crisis, poor air quality is also a great threat for increasing mortality rate in the world. In Nation Capital Region (NCR), India and nearby areas, the time period of months of September to Decemberis very much crucial every year as due to many social, cultural, ecological and known-unknown reasons, the quality of air is degraded below threshold level causing threats to human health and lives. Present manuscript is a trial for analysis of air quality of Indian capital region amidst global pandemic and effect of Ancient Yagya and Homa science on curbing the pollution. It also indicates multiple benefits of Yagya science as well as improvements in result section where mainly pollution analysis is focused. IoT and sensor based instruments were used to collect the data and LSTN and adam optimization were applied to study the effect. It was found a reduction in pollutant particles and improvement in air quality after a week.

Avaliação de contribuição do reservatório de Movene na bacia hidrográfica do rio Umbeluzi em Moçambique

A gestão dos recursos hídricos na bacia hidrográfica do rio Umbeluzi é uma questão fundamental devido ao agravamento de escassez de água nos centros urbanos e na agricultura que pode pôr em causa os valores socioculturais, ecológicos e econômicos. Torna-se ainda mais importante o fato de ser uma bacia internacional, cuja demanda por água tem aumentando em função de expansão agrícola e crescimento populacional. O estudo avaliou a contribuição do novo reservatório de Movene e novas regras de prioridade na alocação de água superficial para atender às diferentes necessidades usando o modelo WaterEvaluation and Planning System – WEAP. O modelo foi validado no período 2005-2011 apresentando o NSE de 0,69 e Bias de 5,2% no volume do reservatório e 2005 com NSE de 6,7 e Bias de 6,0% na vazão. Os resultados mostram menor contribuição do reservatório de Movene, a demanda não atendida no abastecimento doméstico passou de 33,6 hm3 para 10,1 hm3 no cenário de Referência e de 57,3 hm3 para 19,9 hm3 no cenário Maior Crescimento em 2040. Considerando o mesmo ano, a demanda não atendida na agricultura caiu de 12,9 hm3 para 4,1 hm3 e de 22 hm3 para 10,3 hm3 nos cenários de Referência e de Maior Crescimento. No sector industrial apenas o cenário Maior Crescimento apresenta demanda não atendida, tendo saído de 7,4 hm3 para 0,3 hm3 em 2040. Esses resultados enfatizam a necessidade de implementação de estratégias de gestão de lado de demanda para minimizar os impactos de escassez de água. Contribution assessment of the Movene reservoir in the Umbeluzi river basin in Mozambique A B S T R A C TThe management of water resources in the Umbeluzi River basin is an important issue due to the worsening of water scarcity in urban centres and in agriculture, which can jeopardize socio-cultural, ecological and economic values. Even more important is the fact that it is an international basin, whose demand for water has been increasing due to agricultural expansion and population growth. The study evaluated the contribution of the new Movene reservoir and new rules of priority in the allocation of surface water to meet different needs usingWater Evaluation And Planning (WEAP) model. WEAP modelwas validated from 2005 to 2011 with NSE of 0.69 and Bias of 5.2% in the volume of the reservoir and 2005 with an NSE of 6.7 and Bias of 6.0% in the flow. The results demonstrate a lower contribution of the Movene reservoir, the unmet demand in domestic supply went from 33.6 hm3to 10.1 hm3 in the Reference scenario and from 57.3 hm3to 19.9 hm3 in the Reference scenario Higher Growth scenario in 2040. Considering the same year, unmet demand in agriculture fell from 12.9 hm3to 4.1 hm3 and from 22 hm3to 10.3 hm3 in the Reference and Higher Growth scenarios. In the industrial sector, only the Highest Growth scenario has unmet demand, having gone from 7.4 hm3to 0.3 hm3 in 2040. These results emphasize the need to implement demand-side management strategies to minimize the impacts of water scarcity.Keywords: water resources, water demand, Umbeluziriver, WEAP model.

Formation of valeological competence in non-medical students

Competence approach is generally accepted in modern education. Competence is the ability to perform a variety of practical tasks in life and professional activities at a sufficient professional level, which is due to cognitive abilities and skills, social interaction, motivation and will. There are lingual, informational (digital), communicational, cultural, ecological, valeological (health saving) and other competencies should be formed in the student, regardless of the profile of his education. In Ukrainian legislation, valeological competence is referred to the category of "civic and social competences". Valeological competence in educational standards given less importance than, for example, ecological competence. We have not found a clear definition of valeological competence. In our opinion, valeological competence is the ability to lead a healthy lifestyle, practice safe behavior and provide emergency care. For its formation in students of non-medical higher educational institutions we have proposed the initial academic discipline "Health Pedagogy". The study is theoretical, based on the analysis of scientific sources and regulations of Ukraine, including national educational standards. Preliminary data on the introduction of the author's program of the discipline "Pedagogy of Health" in the educational process of the Ukrainian Engineering Pedagogics Academy for students of "011 - Educational, Pedagogical Sciences" specialty "Bachelor" and "Master" educational levels are also taken into account. Requirements for valeological competence formation in non-medical students on accordance with the level of education, the proposed components of the curriculum and components of competence (cognitive, activity, motivational-value and personal) are formulated. The author's definition of valeological competence is supplemented with a list of its components subject to qualimetric assessment. The list of competencies, necessary for the valeological competence formation, as well as those competencies that are formed or improved simultaneously with the valeological competence during the study of valeological discipline "Health Pedagogy" by non-medical students.

Deepening counter institutions: Property, lands, relations, and the economic future of the Tŝilhqot’in

The recognition of Aboriginal title by the Supreme Court of Canada in 2014 affirmed the existence and relevance of a Tŝilhqot’in legal order governing the relationship that Tŝilhqot’in people have with their lands, with each other, and with outsiders. The challenge now for the Tŝilhqot’in is to articulate and enact these laws in ways that respond to their modern socio-economic and cultural-ecological needs and goals without betraying their fundamental principles. Complicating this is a dominant narrative which rationalizes First Nations compliance with liberal institutions of British common law, property, and market-based economic growth as requirements for socio-economic improvements and well-being within First Nations communities. This article interrogates some of the logics and fundamental assumptions that underpin the arguments of liberal property rights enthusiasts, questioning their applicability to the values and aspirations of the Tŝilhqot’in people and First Nations broadly. The Tŝilhqot’in, empowered through title, at once resist liberal private property while at the same recognize the need for institutional developments in relation to lands, housing, and ‘ownership’. This indicates a need for new legal conceptualizations of property that are more comprehensively rooted in, and reflective of, Indigenous laws and land relations.

Pedagogical model for the development of a sustainable lifestyle of a student in a cultural landscape

The article considers the eco-friendly lifestyle of a person in a cultural landscape as a prerequisite for sustainable development of a territory and a practical basis for creating a qualitatively new harmonious interaction between society and natural systems. The goal of the article is to theoretically substantiate, devise, and test a pedagogical model that would teach students a sustainable lifestyle in a cultural landscape. The methodological basis of the study is the co-evolutionary subjective, activity, transdisciplinary, integral, situational, cultural, ecological, landscape, and environmental approaches, as well as some principles embodying them. Educational modeling and design were the key theoretical methods. The pedagogical model created combines the target, substantive, procedural, technological, productive, and evaluative components. Its practical use in schools proved to be effective regarding the formation of an eco-friendly lifestyle of students in the cultural landscape.

He Whakamāramatanga mo te Taihara: A Cultural-Ecological Perspective of Agency and Offending Behaviour

<p>This thesis aims to outline the important role of culture in the development of the human mind and behaviour, and therefore argues that cultural information is a key part of forensic explanation. Differing cultural experiences, such as marginalisation, contribute to the differential representation of individuals and groups in criminal justice systems. Although there are multiple means through which this occurs, this thesis focuses on the role of the individual agentic process, nested within a historically-derived cultural context. Building on previous theoretical work, a preliminary model – the Cultural-Ecological Predictive Agency Model – is presented that might better assist comprehensive explanation of offending behaviour with reference to cultural processes and concepts. The model is then applied to an exemplar, compared to current approaches to rehabilitation and desistance, and some implications for forensic practice are suggested. The overall goal of this thesis is to explicate the potential cultural impacts on individuals who commit offences, and examine some of the causes of offending beyond ‘faulty individual psychology’.</p>

Geodiversity mapping of the Bakony–Balaton UNESCO Global Geopark, Hungary

Geodiversity is the natural range of elements in the physical environment. The relationships, properties, and systems of geoscientific features have an impact not only on the natural world but also on cultural and societal aspects of life. Geodiversity can be considered as a quantitative variable that is unevenly distributed all over the world. This spatial variability helps to locate areas with a high degree of geodiversity. These areas can be the basis of further nature protection and geotourism purposes: high geodiversity usually means higher scientific/cultural/ecological values in an area. We present a GIS-based workflow in which we collect, evaluate, and visualize geoscientific variables to provide information on the geodiversity of the Bakony–Balaton UNESCO Global Geopark in Hungary. By using mainly freely accessible data and an open-source GIS environment, we aim to develop a method that can be applied in many areas of the world. The evaluation is built up by the determination of five sub-indices per unit area, which are related to the elements of geodiversity: geology, relief, hydrology, soil, palaeontology, and mineralogy. The geodiversity index is the sum of the sub-indices. The current tourism potential is mainly found in the high geodiversity regions: the Balaton Uplands, the Tapolca Basin, the Káli Basin, and the Bakony Mountains. The results show that the current geopark infrastructure is in accordance with the geodiversity, but it took several years to reach this state. However, new geoparks are established every year and their infrastructure is yet to be planned. The method we apply helps in this process by using open-source data in the assessment and provides a workflow in areas that have not been evaluated before.
