The purpose of this study was to analyze the demographic variables that affect the probability (chance) of divorce for women on the island of Sumatra. This research is a quantitative analysis, using secondary data from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) with logistic regression analysis method. The results showed that three variables that significantly influence the high and low chance of divorce for women are wife's education, number of children and wife's occupation. The wife's education has a significant effect on the chance of a woman's divorce, with the wife's education coefficient is positive, which means that the lower the wife's education, the higher the chance for a wife to be divorced. The coefficient value of the number of children is positive, which means that the fewer children (

ABSTRACTFour species of Pontella, i.e., P. alata, P. cerami, P. denticauda, and P. forficula, which were originally described by A. Scott (1909) were found from Indo-Malayan waters. Some misidentifications resulting in wrong species identity were discovered on P. cerami and P. forficula. Pontella cerami A. Scott, 1909, described based on two male specimens from the Banda Sea, Indonesia is here recognised as the male of P. alata. Similarly, P. forficula, also known from twomale specimens from the Sulu Sea, Philippine must be reassigned as the male of Ivellopsis elephas (Brady, 1883). Another Indo-Malayan Pontella, i.e., P. denticauda A. Scott, 1909 must also be moved to the genus Ivellopsis Claus 1893, as Ivellopsis denticauda (A. Scott, 1909) by its having posterior corners of Pdg5 produced into rounded lobes in both sexes; particularly in the female, by (1) the genital double-somite with a large lateral process, (2) the CR asymmetrical with the right ramus longer than the left, and (3) the Re of P5 with 3 apical spines and with an acuminate Ri. The male has, (1) the CR asymmetrical with right ramus slightly longer than the left, and (2) the thumb of Re2 of right P5 is elongated, and (3) the Re2 of the left P5 bifurcate at apex.Descriptions, measurements and figures of the four species are given, along with a review of their distribution and that of their species groups over Indo-West Pacific waters, together withtaxonomic remarks and synonymies in each case.Key words : Copepoda, Indo-Malayan, Pontella, small islands, taxonomy

Food porn dalam dua sampai tiga tahun terakhir ini terhitung sejak 2014 menjadi sangat viral disosial media. Food porn merupakan hashtag yang dibuat di Instagram untuk menandai foto yang menampilkan makanan dengan teknik photography yang menampilkan kelezatan makanan tersebut dari dekat. Food porn menjadi sebuah tema yang diangkat dalam pembuatan karya seni keramik ekspresi ini dengan mengambil objek donat dan bulu babi yang juga mengkhawatirkan keadaannya akibat eksploitasi yang terlalu berlebihan sehingga keberadaannya hampil punah. Kedua objek tersebut menjadi perwakilan yang akan digabungkan dengan bentuk-bentuk coral. Kelautan Indonesia yang sangat luas dan memiliki keindahan coral yang sangat luar biasa menjadikan Indonesia sebagai target spot penyelaman paling indah didunia, sama halnya seperti yang dikatakan Kall Muller (1999: 15) “The Island of Indonesia spread in a wide arc, more than 5.000 kilometer long, from mainland Southeast Asia to Papua New Guinea. Dotted with volcanoes, covered with thrick tropical vegetation and bright green rice fields, and surrounded by coral reefs, the Indonesian archipelago is one of the world’s most beautiful places”. Wacana-wacana ini menjadi latar belakang paling mendasar yang kemudian akan diolah dan dijadikan bahan ide pembuatan keramik ekspresi.Pembuatan karya seni ini dimulai dari pengeksplorasian wacana, bentuk, dan konsep yang kemudian diolah dan dijadikan sketsa rancangan. Selanjutnya untuk mewujudkan karya seni, pemilihan bahan menjadi aspek paling penting untuk kelangsungan prosesnya. Pembuatan karya ini menggunakan tanah stoneware Sukabumi dan Pacitan yang dicampur dengan perbandingan 1:1 untuk mendapatkan kekuatan dan warna yang cerah. Kemudian pengerjaan selanjutnya adalah membuat model yang akan dibuat untuk cetakan. Cetakan dibuat dengan gpsum dan dilakukan slip casting dengan tanah yang sudah diolah sebelumnya. Pendekorasian dilakukan dengan teknik krawang, pilin dan pinch untuk selanjutnya dikeringkan dan dibakar biskuit. Selanjutnya glasir dicampur dengan stain dan diaplikasikan kedalam badan keramik dengan teknik semprot menggunakan spraygun dan kompresor lalu dibakar glasir dengan suhun 1200o C. Penciptaan karya seni ini juga diperkuat dengan beberapa teori seperti : teori penciptaan, ekspresi dan art and synesthesia.Hasil karya ini merupakan sebuah perspektive challenging dari seniman untuk dipublikasikan kepada audience. Penguatan teori dengan art and synesthesia merupakan sebuah cara untuk membuktikan bahwa karya seni ini tidak hanya bisa dinikmati dengan satu indera saja, namun keterikatan antara atu indera dengan indera lainnya. Sehingga apabila hal ini secara maksimal mampu ilakukan kemudian dapat diterapkan sebagai media untuk terapi penyembuhan trypophobia karena sedikit banyak tekstur yang diaplikasikan merupakan perwujudan dari trypophobia. Since 2014, foodporn phenomena became famous and going viral on social media. Food porn is one of Instagram’s hashtag that showing a close up mesmerizing food photography. Foodporn being adapted as a theme for this expression ceramics artwork with doughnut and almost extinct sea urchins as the main objects. The condition of sea urchins are very endanger because of excessive exploitation. Those two objects will be represent as a coral shape.Indonesia became the most huge maritime nation that having a billion beautiful coral. Indonesia became a most beautiful diving spot, Kall Muller said (1999:15) “The Island of Indonesia spread in a wide arc, more than 5.000 kilometer long, from mainland Southeast Asia to Papua New Guinea. Dotted with volcanoes, covered with thrick tropical vegetation and bright green rice fields, and surrounded by coral reefs, the Indonesian archipelago is one of the world’s most beautiful places”. The text above write as fundamental background and basic idea to making this expression ceramics artwork.This artwork start with discourse exploration, shape, and concept that elaborate into sketch design. On second step, material become the most important aspect to creating this artwork. This artwork utilize a Sukabumi and Pacitan’s stoneware soil. It mixing with ratio 1:1 to have a strong and bright color. Third step is making a model for the mold. Mold made by gypsum and slip casting with a soil mixing. Decorating conducted with cire perdue technique, coil, and pinch and then be drained and bisque firing. On the next step, glaze will be mixed with stain and applied in to ceramic’s body with a spraygun and compressor. Then glaze burned with 1200o C. This artwork also strengthed by some theory, namely; the theory of creation, expression, art and synesthesia.This artwork is a form of artist’s challenging perspective for being publish to the audience. Strengthed by art and synthesia theory, this artwork is one of the way to prove that artwork can be felt not only one sense, but connection between one with another senses. Thereby, if this artwork can be applied maximally, it might have a chance to be a new theraphy methodology for a trypophobia healing, because most texture that applied in this artwork is the embodiment of trypophobia.

Several small communities of Alune and Wemale shifting cultivators are established in the upland region of 'Wele Telu, the 'Three Large Rivers' of West Seram in eastern Indonesia. Although the centralised state regards these peripheral desa as marginal, this is not the view of the people themselves. Comparatively more isolated than the coastal communities, the mountain 'domains' (hena, inama, anakota) claim to have preserved a traditional relationship to their land and their ancient mode of affiliation and marriage alliances. Each domain forms a social, territorial, religious and political unit which is still relatively autonomous. In the past, mountain and coastal domains participated in a larger federative ceremonial order which did not bar them from also competing for hegemony and taking part in conflicting alliances, warfare, or head-hunting raids against one another. In the middle of the 17th century, to secure total control of the clove growing industry, the Dutch East Indies Company (VOC) dismantled the ruling system of Luhu, the largest political ally of Temate on west Seram, and entirely depopulated the peninsula. For two centuries thereafter inland Seram did not attract much foreign attention. When outsiders began recording the history of 'Wele Telu a century ago, the region had already changed drastically. Colonial policies, whose aims were full administrative control and subordination of the population, were forcefully implemented. The ceremonial and political federative orders of the Kakehan and the Saniri were banned and mountain settlements subjected to a complete re-configuration. Focusing on the Alune mountain domain of Manusa Manuwey (Hena Ma'saman.uey), this thesis explores how contemporary highland communities have preserved their traditional knowledge and adapted their socio-cultural practices to successive tumultuous historical change. The history of groups and domains is recounted in topogenies. The social knowledge embedded in these ordered sequences of sacred places/events is the warrant of the origin of these groups and the chronicle of all matters of renown in which they take pride. Topogenies also establish peoples' codes of social behaviour and their relation to the environment. They are the records of groups' rights, precedence and duties and a living register of the intricate network of relations between them. The origin structures of Manusa Manuwey examined in this thesis, situate the domain in an inner and central position in its region. It is a female centre, the 'source'/'core' (uwei) which 'distributed' (sama) the heirlooms generating wealth and fecundity, to the coastal groups as they 'departed' or came to settle at the domain's periphery. Non-localised named origin groups among both Alune and Wemale are called nuru. Alune nuru perpetuate themselves by reference to a genitor line of derivation, Wemale by reference to a genitrix one. Large nuru set forth 'branches' (sanai) over the whole region, establishing 'Houses' (luma) in the domains of both territories. Residency determines the linguistic affiliation and mode of derivation of these units. In Alune the notion of origin is encapsulated in the term uwei, (wei or wey) which conflates the ideas of 'origin', 'base', 'cause', 'centre' and 'source of continuity'. Notions of relative precedence within and between groups are expressed in metaphorical idioms. Within large nuru, 'branches' arrange themselves in a variable order of precedence linguistically constructed by using complementary categories such as 'ahead/behind' ('older'/'younger') or male/female. This is a loose and changeable precedence subjected to social competition. In Alune domains, earlier settlers take precedence over those who came afterward; they usually control larger sections of land and most positions of authority. However, prior establishment is insufficient to maintain these positions. Since large groups of settlers are better fitted to increase their status. a group of newcomers may gain renown for itself, expand in number, enter in strategic alliances and enhance its prestige, hence becoming an 'elder' nuru in that domain. Alune nuru are strictly exogamous. As they enter in relationships of exchange and alliances, Houses give precedence to bride-giving progenitors over their progeny, a relationship described in Alune terms as that of 'granary mother' to 'female child'. This relationship may be repeated, reversed or severed and new alliances initiated, challenging the previous order of precedence at each generation. Progenitors 'feed' and 'fecundate' their progeny. a ritual duty that parallels that of the ancestors. Social reproduction of groups was formerly secured by 'fecundating rituals' that are now prohibited. According to Alune elders. the present celebrations and exchanges of prestations are a mere token of the large celebrations of the past. Yet these ritual celebrations of food still keep the blessings flowing from the world of the Sky to the world of the Earth.
