The twenty years during which the Tasaday of the southern Philippines have drawn the attention of anthropologists and social scientists can be divided into two major periods. The first is the “discovery” of the Tasaday in the early 1970s, followed by nearly fifteen years of relative neglect. The second is the eruption in the late 1980s of charges that the Tasaday were an instance of fraud, deception, and political corruption by the Marcos regime.Initially, the Tasaday were portrayed as exotic in their isolation, their hunting and gathering lifestyle, their nakedness, their existence in caves, and their gentleness. Exotic “others” have been similarly characterized by descriptive (usually one-word) labels that emblemize what the people and the society are thought to be about. Thus, Kalinga are litigious, Samoans are sexually liberated, Tikopians are hierarchical, Javanese are patient, Balinese are theatrical, and Yanomamo are fierce.

Purba-Barddhaman, a newly emerged district of West Bengal was surveyed for listing its odonate diversity. The district is located in southern West Bengal, and two major rivers, Damodar and Ajay, run through it. It also has a lot of small rivers, perineal and seasonal water bodies, grasslands, marshes, and agricultural fields, making it a great place for odonates. Five different sites of the district were surveyed by direct search and opportunistic sighting methods for a period of two years (March 2021 to February 2023) and odonate diversity was listed. We have found a total of 47 species belonging to 35 genera and six families from this district. The most diverse family was Libellulidae, with 24 species. A few major findings from this study were Macrogomphus montanus, Platygomphus dolabratus, Lathrecista asiatica, Libellago indica, and Agriocnemis kalinga. This is the first systematic study of odonates from this district, and it illustrates the value of this densely populated district for further exploration due to its high agricultural fertility.

The article presents an assessment of the potential for using low enthalpy geothermal resources for electricity generation on the basis of the Małopolskie Voivodeship (southern Poland). Identification the locations providing the best prospects with the highest efficiency and possible gross power output. Thermodynamic calculations of power plants were based on data from several geothermal wells: the Bańska PGP-1, Bańska IG-1, Bańska PGP-3 and Chochołów PIG-1 which are working wells located in one of the best geothermal reservoirs in Poland. As the temperature of geothermal waters from the wells does not exceed 86 °C, considerations include the use of binary technologies—the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) and Kalina Cycle. The potential gross capacity calculated for existing geothermal wells will not exceed 900 kW for ORC and 1.6 MW for Kalina Cycle. In the case of gross electricity, the total production will not exceed 3.3 GWh/year using the ORC, and will not exceed 6.3 GWh/year for the Kalina Cycle.

The article presents an assessment of the potential for using low temperature geothermal water from the C-PIG-1 well (Małopolskie Voivodship, southern Poland) for electricity generation, as the first stage in a geothermal cascade system. The C-PIG-1 well is characterised by a temperature of geothermal water of 82 °C and a maximum flow rate of 51.22 kg/s. Geothermal water is currently only utilised for recreation purposes in swimming pools. In such locations, with the potential to use renewable energy for energetic purposes, the possibility of comprehensive management of the geothermal waters extracted should be considered both in the first stage of the cascade and after recreational use. Thermodynamic calculations were conducted assuming the use of the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) or Kalina Cycle. Two variants were analysed—the use of the maximum flow rate of geothermal waters and partial use with an assumption of a priority for recreational/heating purposes. The analysis and calculations indicate that the gross capacity in the most optimistic variant will not exceed 250 kW for the ORC and 440 kW for the Kalina Cycle. As far as the gross electricity generation is concerned, for ORC this will not exceed 1.9 GWh/year and for the Kalina Cycle it will not exceed 3.5 GWh/year.

This Community Service Activity is intended to enhance motivation and to improve the four fundamental skills in learning Arabic Language for students of Ushuludin Islamic Boarding School in Kalianda Southern Lampung. In order to achieve this goal, the activity uses the drama method with a lecturing approach, mentoring, rehearsal, and culminates in a performance. The result of this activity is that the selected students who become actors are highly motivated in the learning process (writing, reading, speaking, and listening). The composition of the text of the legend 'Bujang Kurap' is also easier to perform as it is associated with the cultural context of the legend.

Abstract Hulusimpang Formation.has known as Oligocene-Miocene rocks that consisted of volcanoclastic rock. Its scope was wide, especially in southern Sumatra. This formation is supposed as a prospect host of various hydrothermal mineralization. A preliminary study was carried out to examine the abundance of elements located in Way Kalianda River, Pesawaran, Lampung. This study was conducted by easuring its stratigraphy and analyzing its composition using an X-Ray fluorescence analyzer. The lithologies generally consist of lapilli tuffs, volcanic breccias, interbeded by claystone and sandstone; in addition, it is also frequently found petrified wood and andesitic-lithic fragments. As a result, the significant abundant elements are Fe (35.5%), Si (27.9%), Al (17.4%), K (6.7%), Cl (5.5%), Ti (1.7%), and Ca (1.5%) and also Mn, Ag, P, Mg, Sr, Zr, and Co. It also presents trace elements such as Rb, Zn, Pb, Te, V, Ba, Cr, Sn, Ni, Ga, Nb, Mo, and Eu. These elements are suggested from distal facies of intermediates-magma series Tertiary volcano.

Black Sea cetaceans are isolated and nominated as endemic subspecies listed in the IUCN Red List of Endangered species: the harbour porpoise and bottlenose dolphin as Endangered (EN) and the common dolphin as Vulnerable (VU). Studies of their distribution and abundance are scarce but obligatory for assessment of their conservation status. Being highly mobile apex predators entails large variations in spatial and temporal distribution. Two vessel line–transect distance sampling surveys were conducted in 2017 in the Bulgarian shelf with the aim to estimate the density, abundance and distribution during spring and autumn. Results have revealed a shift from the coastal to offshore shelf of harbour porpoises with marked southern movement. Density of porpoises varied from 1.423 ind./km2 (CV = 25.4%) in spring to 0.576 ind./km2 (CV = 43.43%) in autumn. The density of common dolphins was also decreasing, from 0.391 ind./km2 (CV = 36.84%) to 0.088 ind./km2 (CV = 42.13%), which was more significant in offshore (0.031 ind./km2, CV = 58.04%) than in the coastal shelf (0.138 ind./km2, CV = 48.59%). Bottlenose dolphins had almost constant density in both seasons in the coastal shelf: 0.211 ind./km2 (CV = 52.15%) and 0.187 ind./km2 (CV = 52.13%) but a very low density in the offshore shelf in autumn: 0.042 ind./km2 (CV = 71.07%). The importance of existing NATURA 2000 sites for the harbour porpoise (BG0000621 Shabla-Ezerets, BG0000573 Kompleks Kaliaka, BG0001001 Ropotamo and BG0001007 Strandzha) and bottlenose dolphin (BG0000621 Shabla-Ezerets, BG0000573 Kompleks Kaliaka, BG0001501 Emona and BG0001001 Ropotamo) were confirmed.

ABSTRACTThe process of Islamization in Nusantara, especially in Java, cannot be separated from the role of Wali Songo. This role found momentum in the form of Islamic institutionalization through the Demak Sultanate, which was the first Islamic sultanate in Java. This sultanate could dominate almost all Java regions, including Kediri. Islam in Kediri was spread by Sunan Geseng, a student of Sunan Kalijaga who was given the task of spreading Islam to the southern part of Java. Researchers found that Sunan Geseng played a role in the spread of Islam in Kediri around the 15th century. In this research, researchers used historical methods with research stages, namely, heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. This research aims to determine Sunan Geseng's role in spreading Islam in Kediri around the 15th century. Researchers found that Sunan Geseng traveled around the 15th century to spread Islam, including Kediri, after the Demak sultanate's founding. In Kediri, he used the Bil-hikmah da'wah method in preaching, founded a hermitage to teach Islamic teachings, and gave advice related to Islam.Keywords: Islamization, Kediri, the Role of Sunan Geseng ABSTRAKProses Islamisasi di Nusantara khususnya di Jawa tidak terlepas dari peran Wali Songo.

Dugong Reserve Estimate Tightens on New Well Results Neptune Energy redefined the estimated reserves at its Dugong discovery in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea to between 40–108 million BOE based on the results of appraisal well 34/4-16 S. Prior to this appraisal, the operator believed the prospect could hold as much as 120 million BOE. The main objective of the well was achieved by establishing the oil/water contact. Neptune Energy said the new range will be subject to further detailed analysis and review, and a drillstem test on the well is planned at a later stage. The appraisal well was drilled using the Odjfell-operated semisubmersible Deepsea Yantai in about 330 m of water. The Dugong discovery will either be linked to nearby infrastructure or developed as a standalone development. Dugong is located 158 km west of Florø, Norway, and is close to the existing production facilities of the Snorre and Statfjord fields. The Dugong license partners are Neptune Energy (operator and 45%), Petrolia NOCO (20%), Idemitsu Petroleum Norge (20%), and Concedo (15%). Oselvar P&A Work Underway Decommissioning of the DNO Norge-operated Oselvar field has kicked off with the operator contracting semisubmersible Borgland Dolphin for plug-and-abandonment work. Oselvar is in the southern part of the Norwegian sector in the North Sea, 20 km southwest of the Ula field. The water depth is 70 m. Oselvar was discovered in 1991, and the plan for development and operation was approved in 2009. The field was developed via a trio of subsea wells tied to Ula. Production started in 2012 and ended in 2018. The Borgland Dolphin was moved to the field on 20 March. The rig recently went through a series of upgrades including the installation of new shale shakers, new standpipe manifold, an upgraded drilling control system, and an upgraded helideck. Decommissioning must be completed by the end of 2022. Equinor Green Lights FPSO for Brazil’s BM-C-33 Development Equinor, together with license partners Repsol Sinopec Brasil and Petrobras, have approved an FPSO-based development concept for BM-C-33, a gas/condensate field located in the Campos Basin pre-salt in Brazil. Subsea wells will be tied back to the FPSO located at the field. Gas and oil/condensate will be processed at the floater to sales specifications and exported. Crude will be offloaded by shuttle tankers and shipped to the international market after ship-to-ship transfer. A newbuild hull has been selected to accommodate the field’s planned 30-year lifetime. “BM-C-33 holds substantial volumes of gas,” said Veronica Coelho, Equinor’s country manager in Brazil. “A completion of the ongoing liberalization of the natural gas market in Brazil in line with the current plan, is key for the further development of the project. BM-C-33 is an asset that can generate value for the society, both through the creation of direct and indirect jobs, ripple effects, and through a gas supply that can induce industrial growth, as has happened in other countries.” Gas export capacity is planned for 16 million cubic meters per day with average exports expected to be 14 million cubic meters per day. Daily oil processing capacity is of 20,000 cubic meters per day. The gas-export solution is based on an integrated offshore gas pipe-line from the FPSO to a new dedicated onshore gas-receiving facility inside the Petrobras TECAB site at Cabiúnas, before connecting to the domestic gas-transmission network. Lundin Makes Small Discovery Near Edvard Grieg Lundin Energy Norway encountered a 10-m oil column with its wildcat well 16/4-13 S about 15 km south of the Edvard Grieg field in the central part of the North Sea. The operator added that about 7 m of the encountered column was of moderate to poor reservoir quality. The oil/water contact was encountered 1950 m below the sea surface. The entire reservoir, including the water zone, comprises conglomeratic sandstones in a thickness of about 380 m. Preliminary estimates place the size of the discovery between 0.5 and 1.4 million cubic meters of recoverable oil equivalent. The licensees will assess the discovery regarding a possible tie-in to the Solveig field. The well was drilled by Seadrill semisubmersible West Bollsta and will be permanently plugged and abandoned. The rig will now move to drill the 16/4-BA-1H production well on the Solveig field. Wintershall Gets Permit for Bergknapp Appraisal The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate granted Wintershall Dea Norge a drilling permit for well 6406/3-10 A to spud a follow-up probe to a discovery made in April 2020. The Bergknapp appraisal will be drilled from the Odjfell semisubmersible Deepsea Aberdeen once the rig has concluded the drilling of wildcat well 6507/4-2 S for Wintershall in production license 211. The Bergknapp appraisal will be drilled about 8 km west of the Maria field in the Norwegian Sea. The discovery well 6406/3-10 intersected an oil column of at least 60 m in the Garn formation and an oil column of at least 120 m in the Tilje formation. Preliminary estimates of the Bergknapp discovery indicate it could hold between 26–97 million BOE. The find is in production license 836 S where Wintershall is the operator and holds a 40% stake. The other licensees are DNO Norge (30%) and Spirit Energy Norway AS (30%). The area in this license comprises parts of Blocks 6406/2 and 6406/3. Guyana Says Liza Hits First-Phase Capacity Guyana’s President Irfaan Ali announced that the first phase of the Liza offshore crude project had achieved its intended full-production capacity of around 130,000 B/D. Ali told virtual attendees at the Guyana Basin Summit that he expected an additional 10 exploration and appraisal wells to be drilled off Guyana this year. He said the second phase of the Liza project, operated by ExxonMobil, would begin in 2022. The consortium led by Exxon, which includes partners Hess and CNOOC Ltd., has made 18 discoveries containing more than 8 billion bbl of recoverable oil and gas in Guyana’s Stabroek block. Equinor and Partners in Barents Bounty Equinor and partners Vår Energi and Petoro have struck oil in exploration well 7220/7-4 in production license 532 in the Barents Sea. Recoverable resources are so far estimated at between 31–50 million BOE. The well was drilled about 10 km southwest from the well 7220/8-1 on the Johan Castberg field. “Succeeding in the Barents Sea requires perseverance and a long-term perspective,” says Nick Ashton, Equinor’s senior vice president for exploration in Norway. “This discovery strengthens our belief in the opportunities that exist, not least around the Castberg, Wisting, Snøhvit, and Goliat areas.” The well, drilled by semisubmersible Transocean Enabler, struck 109 m of oil in the Stø and Nordmela formations. The top reservoir was encountered at a vertical depth of 1788 m below sea level. The expected gas cap was not encountered in the well. The well was not formation tested, but extensive data acquisition and sampling took place. Equinor said further development of the discovery toward the planned infrastructure for the Johan Castberg field will be considered at a later stage. Exploration well 7220/7-4 is the first of four planned exploration wells for Equinor in the Barents Sea this year. Eni Strikes Light Oil at Cuica Eni has made a new light-oil discovery in Block 15/06 at its Cuica prospect in the deep waters offshore Angola. The prospect is located inside the Cabaça Development Area and close to the Armada Olombendo FPSO (East Hub). Eni estimates Cuica could hold between 200 and 250 million bbl of oil in place. The Cuica-1 NFW was drilled as a deviated well by Seadrill-operated drillship Sonagol Libongos in 500 m of water and reached a total vertical depth of 4100 m, encountering an 80-m total column of reservoir of light oil (38 °API) in sandstones of Miocene age with good petrophysical properties. The discovery well is going to be sidetracked up-dip to be placed in an optimal position as a producer well. According to Eni, data collection from the well indicates an expected production capacity of around 10,000 BOPD. Cuica is the second significant oil discovery inside the existing Cabaça Development Area. The well location, intentionally placed close to East Hub’s subsea network, will allow a fast-track tie-in of the exploration well and relevant production. Eni expects the well could be on line within 6 months. Following the discoveries of Kalimba, Afoxé, Ndungu, Agidigbo, Agogo and appraisals achieved between 2018 and 2020, Cuica represents the first commercial discovery in Block 15/06 after the relaunch of the exploration campaign post-2020 COVID-19 pandemic. The discovery confirms the exploration potential of the block. A 3-year extension of the exploration period of Block 15/06 was recently granted until November 2023. The Block 15/06 joint venture comprises Eni (operator, 36.8421%), Sonangol P&P (36.8421%), and SSI Fifteen Ltd. (26.3158%). No Injuries Reported in West Mira Incident An equipment failure onboard Northern Ocean semisubmersible West Mira resulted in production equipment descending to the seabed. The rig owner said no one was injured and the well at the location was secured “with three barriers in place.” The unit was in the process of lowering the equipment on the Wintershall-operated Nova field. “While lowering a x-mas tree from West Mira, the winch wire snapped when the tree was five meters below the sea surface. The x-mas tree sunk to the seafloor 368 meters below water level. Eight people were working in the area of the rig where the incident occurred in safe distance from moving equipment,” said Wintershall. The rig manager, Seadrill Europe Management AS, and Wintershall are conducting investigations into the incident and have agreed to a plan to secure the production equipment. “A remote operated vehicle (ROV) was sent to the seafloor to assess the situation,” added the oil company. “The ROV survey showed no risk of discharge of well fluids or hydrocarbons and the x-mas tree has been localized on the template.”

Local development is multi-faceted, which precipitates the need for transdisciplinary approaches to capture the complexity of issues and possible solutions to development challenges. Six program sites in two provinces located in Southern Luzon, Philippines under the Department of Science and Technology Community Empowerment through Science and Technology (DOST-CEST) program were studied to determine possible science and technology interventions to accelerate local development. The study used a concurrent mixed-method research design where the qualitative and quantitative data are collected during the same stage. Focus group discussions and key informant interviews were conducted to represent local government and sectoral groups. Secondary data – which includes barangay and municipal profiles and local government unit (LGU) data on social services – were collected, and a survey was used to gather information on the needs of the community members. The existing needs include access to healthcare, health facilities, and services, improved access to potable water sources, compliance with solid waste management, educational assistance, sustainable livelihood opportunities, and equipment for better disaster preparedness and response. Theoretical reflections using transdisciplinary approaches such as human ecology and social technology assisted in local development planning and policy recommendations where data and synthesis generated the need for a convergence approach, integrative research, community organizing, and partnerships with higher education institutions. Specific recommendations would include improving the quality of the KALINGA mix for health and nutrition, provision of ceramic water filters for water and sanitation, STARBOOKS (Science and Technology Academic and Research-Based Openly Operated Kiosk Station) units, which are like science library-on-the-go kiosks for basic education, and incorporating technologies like an automated rain gauge, flood early warning station, and water level monitoring station in the current disaster risk response and management. Prioritization of interventions should be matched with the resources and capacities of both DOST and LGUs.

Traditional histories are manifestations of Indonesia's cultural richness. These traditional histories encompass the legend of influential figures in the spread of Islam in Central Java and The Special Region of Yogyakarta, such as Sunan Geseng. This article will discuss about the history of Sunan Geseng based on stories from the local communities in the preaching areas of Sunan Geseng and the traces of him. The research is considered as qualitative research using the method of library studies and interview. The theory used in this study is the theory of folklore, especially religious legends.
