  • Meaning of Junub: Causes, and Procedures for Purifying It

    Definition of Junub – Cleanliness is part of faith. All provisions have been regulated by Allah SWT in the Al-Qur’an and hadith. It is stated that Allah SWT really loves His holy servant and always purifies himself. This is in line with His words in Surah Al-Baqarah verse 222 which reads as follows:

    ….اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ التَّوَّابِيْنَ وَيُحِبُّ الْمُتَطَهِّرِيْنَ

    “… Indeed, Allah SWT loves those who repent and loves those who purify themselves ”.

    A Muslim can be said to be holy if he is clean from hadas and unclean. Conversely, a person who is still in a state of impurity and exposed to uncleanness is called a junub condition and is prohibited from performing obligatory worship such as prayer.

    The term junub is a familiar thing among Muslims. Junub is a condition when a person has large hadas in his body. For example, a husband and wife who have had sexual intercourse are prohibited from performing acts of worship such as praying, fasting, reading the Qur’an, and so on.

    In order to be able to return to worship again, the husband and wife are required to perform the junub bath or also known as the obligatory bath or big bath. Junub bath is different from bathing in general because there is an intention that must be read first and the procedure for doing a junub bath.

    So, what is junub and what is the law in Islam? To find out more, see the following explanation.

     

    Meaning of Junub

    In language, junub comes from the word janabah which means far away, while junub in terms is the state of a person after emitting semen ( al-inzal ) for women and men, due to wet dreams or sexual intercourse.

    While still in a state of junub, a Muslim is required to take a big bath. If not, he is prohibited from approaching places of worship and performing certain worship. The command to take a junub bath or take a big bath is contained in Surah Al-Maidah verse 6. Allah SWT says as follows:

    وَاِنْ كُنْتُمْ جُنُبًا فَاطَّهَّرُوْاۗ

    ” And if you are junub, you should purify .”

    Meanwhile, according to the Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI), junub is a dirty condition due to discharge of semen or intercourse which requires a person to take a bath by wetting (cleaning) the entire body from the tip of the hair to the toes or a condition with hadas which requires mandatory bathing.

    Conditions Requiring Junub Bathing

    In the book Having to Take a Mandatory Bath Again, written by Ustadz M. Saiyid Mahadhir mentions Ibn Faris in the Maqayis Al-Lughah dictionary explaining that janabah itself means far away, as opposed to the word near. It is called distant because someone with janabah status is in a remote position (unable to perform) some of the rituals of worship, such as praying, reading the Qur’an and staying silent in the mosque.

    The term janabah is used to indicate the condition of someone who is having a big hadats because he has had a husband and wife relationship, or for other reasons, janabah and big hadas are two words that have the same meaning.

    If someone says he is in a state of janabah , it means he is in a state of great hadas. There are seven reasons why a person has janabat and is obligated to take a big bath, among them.

    First , discharge of semen. Semen is a liquid that comes out of the genitals with a distinctive aroma, slightly fishy, ​​slightly thick and dries easily like an egg when it dries. Usually, the discharge is accompanied by a feeling of pleasure by radiating.

    Regardless of how it came out, intentional (masturbation) or dream, or by way of husband and wife intercourse, all must wash. It turns out that this does not only apply to men. Women can also release semen, and women also have the same obligation if semen comes out of them.

    From Umm Salamah RA that Umm Sulaym, the wife of Abu Talhah RA, asked RA, ” O Messenger of Allah, really Allah SWT is not ashamed when it comes to the truth, is it obligatory for a woman to take a bath when she dreams?” Rasulullah SAW replied: ” Yes, if he finds semen ” (HR Bukhari and Muslim).

    Second, related husband and wife. If intercourse between husband and wife is accompanied by discharge of semen or not, even if it is only limited to the meeting of the two genitals, then this condition makes a person obliged to take a bath. Rasulullah SAW said:

      Amen 

    ” If two genitals meet or if the genitals touch the other genitals, it is obligatory to bathe .”

    Third , women who have finished their menstrual period. The obligation to bathe is as stated by Allah SWT in Al Baqarah verse 222:

    وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِيضِ ۖ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي الْمَحِيضِ ۖ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّىٰ يَطْهُرْنَ ۖ فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ فَأْتُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ التَّوَّابِينَ وَيُحِبُّ الْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ

    “ And they ask you (Muhammad) about menstruation. Say, “That is something dirty.” Therefore, stay away from your wife during menstruation, and do not approach them until they are pure. When they are pure, interfere with them according to (the conditions) that Allah has commanded you. Indeed, Allah loves those who repent and loves those who purify themselves .”

    Fourth , finish the puerperium. Puerperal is the blood that comes out accompanying the release of the baby as well as the blood that comes out afterwards. The discharge of puerperal blood obliges to take a bath even though it turns out that the baby who was born died. After the blood has stopped, then hurry up to take a shower, so that you can carry out the worship activities that have been left behind.

    Fifth, women who have given birth. The obligation to bathe is based on the ijma (consensus) of the scholars, as emphasized by Ibn Al Mundzir. Part of the things that oblige a person to take a bath, even though giving birth is not accompanied by childbirth. According to the narrative of some of the husbands, there are indeed some of their wives who give birth without giving birth.

    Sixth, people who died. This is the last condition that makes it obligatory for a person to bathe, because he has died and is unable to bathe himself, the obligation to bathe rests on the shoulders of those who are still alive.

    Rasulullah SAW said when one of his daughters died, ” Wash her three times or five times or more from there ” (HR Bukhari and Muslim).

    Seventh , people who have just converted to Islam. The Islamic issue of a non-believer is still being debated among scholars as to whether they are obliged to bathe or not. Scholars from the Maliki and Hanbali schools are of the opinion that infidels who convert to Islam are obliged to take a bath.

    Abu Hurairah RA narrated that Tsumamah bin Atsal RA had just converted to Islam, then Rasulullah SAW said, ” Take him to one of the walls of the so and so, and order him to take a bath ” (HR Ahmad).

    Apart from that, it is very likely that those who disbelieve have experienced a major hadith status, either because of a dream or a husband and wife relationship, so it is on this basis that they are obliged to take a bath. And in these two schools of thought the obligation to bathe does not differentiate between those who are true disbelievers and those who are apostates.

     

    Hadiths that Explain about Junub

    Apart from being explained in the Al-Quran, discussion of junub is also explained in several hadiths. The following are hadiths about junub that Sinaumed’s friends need to know:

    First Hadith

    عن عائشة رضي الله عنها ق الت : كان رس ول الله صلى الله عليه وس لم إذا اغتسل من الجنابة غسل يديه ، ث م توضأ وضوءه للصلاة ، ثم اغتسل ، ثم يخلل بيده شع ره حتى إذا ظ ن أنه قد أرو ى بشرته أفاض عليه الماء ثلاث مرات ، ثم غسل سائر جسده

    It means:

    “From Aisyah radhiyallahu ‘anha; he said, “ That if the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam was taking a bath from the janabah then he would start by washing his hands, then do his ablution as he would for prayer, then put his fingers in the water and then interrupt the roots of his hair, until he thought the water was down to the base of his hair then watered his head with both hands three times then he splashed his entire body ” (Reported by Bukhari and Muslim).

    Second Hadith

    God bless you

    It means:

    “Aisyah radhiallahu ‘anha also said, “ I bathed with the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam from a jar, and we both took water from the jar ” (HR Muslim).

    Third Hadith

    عن ميمونة بن ت الحارث رضي الله عنها ز وجة النبي صل ى الله عليه وسلم أنها قا لت : وضعتُ ل رسول الله صل ى الله عليه وسلم وَضوء ا لجنابة ، فأك فا بيمينه عل ى يساره مرتي ن أو ثلاثا ، ثم غسل فرجه ، ثم ضرب يد ه بالأرض أو الحائط – مرت ين أو ثلاثا – ثم تمضمض و استنشق ، ثم غسل وجهه وذر اعيه ، ثم أف اض على رأسه الماء ، ثم غ سل سائر جسده ، ثم تنحّى فغسل رجليه ، قالت : فأتي ته بخرقة فلم يُردها ، وج عل ينفض الما ء بيده

    It means:

    From Maimunah bint Al-Harith radhiyallahu’anha; he said, “ I prepared water for the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam to bathe junub. Then he  poured (the water)  with his right hand over his left hand twice – or three times, then he  washed his private parts , then  rubbed his hands on the ground or on the wall  twice – or three times. Next, he  rinsed his mouth and took istinsyaq  (breathing water), then he  washed his face and his hands up to the elbows Then he  flushed his head and then his whole body . Then he took a position/place, shifted, then washed his feet . Then I gave him a cloth (a kind of towel, pen.) but he didn’t want it, so he wiped the water (on his body) using both hands “(HR Bukhari and Muslim).

    Mandatory Bathing Prayer According to Sunnah

    The Islamic religion requires its followers to remove major hadas by means of a mandatory bath or large bath. Hadas besar is the condition of someone who is not pure because after sexual intercourse, semen comes out for men, menstruation and childbirth for women.

    It is obligatory for Muslims to take a large bath after having hadas. If a Muslim does not perform the obligatory ghusl when he has a large period, it can prevent him from doing some acts of worship such as praying, reading the Qur’an, and thawaf.

    As a form of worship, of course there are prayers and procedures for bathing obligatory according to the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad. Prayers and procedures for bathing must be known by all Muslims so that this matter of purification can be carried out correctly. Prayers and procedures for bathing are obligatory in accordance with the sunnah to be carried out with the aim of cleaning oneself after menstruation, childbirth, semen and after intercourse.

    Here are the obligatory prayers and procedures for bathing that you need to know.

    1. Mandatory Bathing Prayer After Junub

    “Bismillahirahmanirahim, nawaitul ghusla liraf’il hadatsil Akbari minal janabati fardlo lillahi ta’ala”.

    It means:

    ” By mentioning the name of Allah SWT, I intend to take a bath to remove large hadas from jinabah, fardhu because of Allah Ta’ala “.

    2. Obligatory Bathing Prayer After Postpartum

    During a major hadas in a woman who is in childbirth or bleeding from the sex organs after giving birth, the obligatory bath prayer that must be read is as follows:

    “Bismillahirahmanirrahim, nawaitu ghusla liraf’il hadatsil Akbari minan nifasi fardlo lillahi ta’ala”.

    It means:

    ” By mentioning the name of Allah SWT, I intend to take a bath to remove large hadas from childbirth, fardhu because of Allah Ta’ala “.

    3. Obligatory Bathing Prayer After Menstruation

    The following is a mandatory bath prayer after menstruation that needs to be read:

    “Bismillahirahmanirahim, nawaitul ghusla liraf’il hadatsil Akbari minal haidi fardlo lillahi ta’ala”.

    It means:

    ” By mentioning the name of Allah SWT, I intend to take a bath to remove large hadas from menstruation, fardhu because of Allah Ta’ala “.

    After reading the obligatory bathing prayer above, the next step is to start bathing according to the good and correct procedures for taking a junub bath.

    Mandatory Bathing Procedures

    Prayers and procedures for bathing are obligatory according to sunnah, not like regular bathing, but there are rules according to hadith. Every Muslim who has reached puberty  must know fully the correct prayers and procedures for obligatory bathing in order to be lawful to perform worship.

    Junub bath or obligatory bath must be done perfectly as exemplified by Rasulullah SAW. Quoting the Fiqh book for Class VII MTs by Hasbiyallah, here are the mandatory bathing procedures that you can see:

    1. Before taking a bath, first wash your hands three times.
    2. Followed by washing the genitals.
    3. Then perform complete ablution, before sprinkling water all over the body.
    4. Pouring water on your head three times, insert your fingers through your hair to wet your scalp.
    5. Finally, splash water all over the body starting from the right side before the left side, while rubbing the areas that are difficult for water to enter, such as the inside of the ears, navel, under the arms, between the toes and other indentations of the body.

    Especially for women who take a junub bath to purify themselves from menstruation or childbirth, it is recommended to use cotton that is slightly perfumed, where the blood has been coming out. The point is to remove the remnants of the smell if it is still there.

     

    Prohibited Things When in Junub Condition

    Before purifying himself with a large bath, a Muslim who is still in a junub state is prohibited from performing certain rituals. Quoting the book Fiqh of Purification and Prayer According to the Guidance of the Prophet by Abu Usman Kharisman, these prohibitions include:

    1. Salat.
    2. Tawaf in Baitullah.
    3. Holding the Koran.
    4. Read the Qur’an even without touching the Mushaf.
    5. Live or remain silent in the mosque.

    Benefits of Mandatory Bathing

    After knowing the prayers and procedures for obligatory bathing according to the syara ‘ above, then we discuss the benefits of carrying out obligatory bathing.

    Quoting from  Sharia Discussion , Sheikh Muhyiddin writes in his book Ibadatul Islam: Fiqhuha, Asroruha, wa Ta’allumu Kaifiyyatiha  in the chapter on the benefits of bathing ( fawaidul ghusli ) about the benefits of obligatory bathing, namely:

    • When a Muslim performs the obligatory ghusl, he has carried out the command of Allah SWT and gets a great reward, happiness, serenity and joy.
    • Having sex between husband and wife will cause fatigue and laziness. Mandatory bathing will restore lost body strength after intercourse.
    • Bathing is one of the efforts to maintain cleanliness and health of the body.
    • The benefits of taking a big bath also make the body more enthusiastic about activities, and drive away laziness.

    That is the explanation of junub, which is a condition when a Muslim, both men and women have hadas and it is obligatory for them to take junub bath as an effort to purify themselves. That way, someone who has done a junub bath can perform worship again in a holy condition.

    The Power Of Now : A Guide To Spiritual Enlightenment

    Before we had control over our thoughts, they controlled us. The mind is constantly talking to itself and it is difficult to stop. The mind has many opinions, but all of them are usually based on what has happened in the past. As a result, it becomes difficult for us to perceive things that exist today as something new. Constantly thinking makes us unable to enjoy the present moment. Accept it—then act. Whatever is in the present, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always cooperate with the present, don’t fight it. Make the present your friend and ally, not your enemy. It will miraculously change your whole life. The Power of Now focuses intensely on the problems we face today and who we are today. The most practical of all practical guides, success or spiritual, and can be used to change our lives.

     

    Live Once Wise Execute

    “Life is not only about sharing and loving. It’s not just about giving and loving. Not only about depriving and oppressing. This life never escapes the name of loss, struggle, and letting go. Isn’t that what life is like? As long as we are alive, we have made many decisions. The decision is for ourselves or others. However, is it true that the decision is good for us? Or is it just not the best? Therefore, you only live once, so use it as best you can. Choose a good friend to live in, choose a good environment to live in, and so on. If you have chosen, then decide, execute it. Before executing it, don’t forget to ask Allah SWT for guidance. That way we will get good things for us and others.”

     

    Imaging Type

    Image or personal branding can now also be interpreted as credibility, character, impression, perception and opinion in the public. The person who performs the image then has no value or is meaningless if it is only based on lies only to influence public opinion.

    Image itself is not always negative, because imagery that is based on value or meaning can then benefit the perpetrators. The impression of a good image itself is referred to as personal branding.

    This imaging can be further divided into several types. The various types of imaging include the following:

    1. Visual imagery

    Visual imagery is imagery that arises due to the presence of visual aids.

    2. Auditory imagery

    Auditory imagery is an image that arises through the image of the ear to then evoke a certain atmosphere.

    3. Olfactory imagery

    Olfactory imagery is an imagery that is done by going through the sense of smell and depicting an abstract idea into a concrete idea.

    4. Imagery of feelings

    The feeling image is an image that arises through emotional stimulation and then directs one’s imagination as if the taste buds feel something.

    5. Tactile imagery

    Tactile imagery is an image that arises through touch, so that a person can then feel as if he is being touched or anything that involves the effectiveness of his skin senses.

    6. Motion imagery

    Motion imagery is imagery which then aims to make a picture more lively by depicting something that is still as if it is moving.

    Imaging Purpose

    From the explanation above, we then know that image is all efforts made as a way to form or build a good opinion of something or a person or company so that then get attention and a response that is in accordance with the intent and purpose.

    In addition to discussing the meaning and types of imagery, we will also discuss the purpose of imagery. Following are some of the purposes of imaging.

    1. Predicting Results 

    Imaging that is carried out will then help reasoning and problem solving, namely by giving someone the ability to be able to predict the results of an action. For example, when someone sees that the contents of the house are messy, he will immediately understand how to tidy it up.

    2. Reasoning 

    With imaging, one can then reason abstract concepts by visualizing a symbol, such as a diagram or graph about something.

    3. Describe the Situation 

    Imaging abilities can also then assist a person in providing a verbal description of something or someone.

    4. Recall 

    Imaging can also be used to recall visual or spatial information. For example, when someone tries to remember about the dinner that was served the previous day.

    5. Memorizing Information 

    Through imaging, one can also memorize information. For example, if a person’s memory will increase sharply when he visualizes various objects which are then given names as if the names of these objects interact with each other.

    6. Improve Ability 

    Imaging can also then help a person improve his abilities by visualizing himself by taking an action so that it will then direct him to that action.

    7. Provide Ideas or Insights 

    Every image that is done by someone will then remind him of an important insight, or give an idea.

    Relationship of Self Image with Other Aspects of Self 

    Self-image in psychology is closely related to what a person sees when he is looking in the mirror, but the true meaning of self-image is much deeper than that. This self-image refers to how a person sees himself at a broader level, both internally and externally.

    By definition, self-image is about how a person then perceives himself. Self-image as a number of self-impressions that have been built over time. In addition, self-image also has a relationship with other aspects of self. The following is the relationship between self-image and other aspects of self.

    1. Self-Concept 

    Self-image can be said to be related to a person’s self-concept. Self-concept is our personal knowledge of who we are including all thoughts and feelings about ourselves physically, personally and socially.

    These two things would then be closely related, but they are not the same thing. Self-concept is also more comprehensive than self-image, will involve how a person sees himself, thinks about himself and how he then feels about himself so that it develops into types of self-concept. Self-image is also a component that forms self-concept, according to Mc Leod (2008).

    2. Self Esteem 

    Self-image is related to self-esteem. This is because how we see ourselves will then be a major factor in how we feel about ourselves. However, self-esteem also has a deeper meaning than self-image.

    Overall self-esteem is the respect we have for ourselves that involves how favorable or unfavorable this feeling is towards us. Negative self-image will greatly affect self-esteem and concepts in psychology. Low self-esteem can be said to tend to be accompanied by negative self-image, and vice versa.

    3. Identity 

    Identity as a concept that is closely related to self-image in psychology, identity is bigger and more comprehensive than self-image. Identity is the whole idea of ​​who we are, as stated by Roy Baumeister: The term identity refers to the definition that is made and superimposed on someone’s self (1997:681).

    Thus, it can be said that identity is the whole picture of who we are that we believe in or believe in the importance of finding identity, and self-image is part of the whole picture.

    Self-image in healthy psychology is mainly based on an individual’s personal feelings and perspective, where a person will no longer be influenced by other people’s opinions about them or by social expectations which then build self-concepts in communication psychology. Instead, he will establish his own mind regarding internal mental pictures and ideas about himself.

    Closing

    Basically, everyone will always try to show their image to everyone, especially workers. Self-image can be said as a way for a person to be known by many people. Therefore, to do that, one needs to know oneself first.

    From all the discussion above it can be said that imagery is an action that shows a positive attitude in front of many people. Thus the discussion about the meaning of imagery, starting from the meaning, types, to the purpose of doing imagery.

  • Meaning and Origins of 5 Classical Dances from Central Java

    Meaning and Origins of 5 Classical Dances from Central Java – Sinaumed’s, as we all know that dance is a form of culture that is full of meaning. Jazuli (2008) in the Contextual Paradigm of Art Education states that dance is a beautiful form of movement, born from a body that moves, rhythmically, and has a soul according to its intent and purpose.

    Furthermore, Soedarsono (1986) through his Introduction to Dance Knowledge and Composition in Knowledge of Dance Elements and Some Dance Problems also added that dance is an expression of the human soul which is expressed by beautiful rhythmic movements.

    Dance is a rhythmic movement which (with awareness) is formed with the body as a medium in space. This art can then become a cultural statement. This is why the nature, style, and function of dance cannot be separated from the culture that produces it.

    Indonesia on the other hand consists of various tribes and very diverse cultures, thus producing dances that also have different characteristics. One area that has various types of classical dance is Central Java.

    This province, which has a thousand cities in Semarang, has many dances, most of which still survive today. There are interesting facts behind the emergence of some of these dances to become part of the cultural development of Central Java.

    So, what are the classical dances? In the following, we will present brief explanations and facts about 5 classical dances that are still developing in Central Java today.

    1. Ampil Kridha Warastra Jurit Dance

    Jurit Ampil Kridha Warastra dance is a classical dance originating from the city of Salatiga. This dance has meaning, namely jurit which means “warrior”, garwa ampil which means “concubine” (from Mangkunegara I), and warastra which means “gendewa”.

    In general, the dance depicts the garwa ampil (concubine) troop of Mangkunegara I in the Salatiga Agreement which was executed on March 17, 1757. Each party (Hamengkubuwana I, Pakubuwana III, and Mangkunegara I) in the agreement agreed to bring and show their strength his troops. Mangkunegara I himself also showed some of the bregada (army units) he brought with him, one of which was the Jurit Ampil, namely the soldiers’ unit of the daughters of his concubines.

    This dance is classified as a loose dance, meaning that it can be performed in teams, pairs and singles. The classical elements of the dance are contained in the movements, song accompaniment, clothing, and make-up, but now it has been combined with new elements that keep up with the times.

    This dance is also a fusion of Surakarta style classical dance and folk dance, which take many movements from the Warrior dance.

    For his weapons, he uses jemparing (archery), endhong , nyenyep , gendewa , and cundrik. The makeup of the dancers aims to help shape the character and soul of a soldier.

    2. Warrior Dance

    The Warrior Dance is a traditional dance in the form of a mass dance that first appeared in Getasan Village, Getasan District, Semarang Regency, Central Java Province. This dance then developed into other areas in Semarang Regency with different versions of origins and themes, including Ambarawa District, Banyubiru District, Sumowono District, and Ungaran City. This dance also developed in Salatiga City, to be precise in Tegalrejo Village, Argomulyo District, Salatiga City.

    The elements contained in the dance include clothing, make-up, movement, and musical instruments. This dance is indeed included in the category of group dances, but the number of dancers is sometimes adjusted according to the needs and size of the venue.

    This dance on the other hand is not a dance of new creations which is more dynamic and has many variations according to the tastes of young people. This is because the movements and accompaniments tend to be monotonous. Folk dances are also rarely performed, so people don’t appreciate them, not even a few don’t know about them.

    This dance procession is thick with the nuances of war, which can be seen from the clothes of the dancers and their movements that carry weapons following the accompaniment of gamelan organs. The dance in its implementation has undergone changes along with the times and the various factors that influence it. One of the intrinsic factors of change in this dance can be seen from changes in the composition of the dancers.

    At the beginning of its appearance, this dance was danced by male dancers, but now it is also danced by female dancers. This is why the makeup used is male makeup. In addition, the real influence on the appearance of this dance is the modern songs that are performed to accompany it. The extrinsic factors that drive changes in the composition of dancers are economic and market reasons, not merely functional reasons for art as entertainment.

    Warrior dancers used to only wear cloth pants and ngligo (not wearing clothes). The clothes worn by the dancers of the warrior section currently consist of trousers, camouflage cloth, beskap, songkok, and sampur, while the dancers of the Manggalayuda (war leader or line leader) use trousers, camouflage cloth, beskap, blangkon, and keris.

    The movements performed in the Warrior dance include:

    • Lumaksana , means that humans must be responsible for carrying out their duties and always remember God Almighty;
    • Merong megar , means that humans must always look at various sides in carrying out their obligations;
    • Garuda nglayang , means that any action taken by humans must look at the state order. This movement is taken from the symbol of Indonesia, namely the eagle;
    • Nyongklang , means humans who travel in carrying out their duties;
    • Gedrug , means human awareness of life on earth;
    • Fishing sandals , means that one must face various problems patiently and not in a hurry;
    • Barn , means that all the results of the work to be used and stored properly.

    The musical instruments used to accompany the Warrior dance include:

    • Jedhor , which is a small beduk made of teak wood and covered on both sides with goat skin. The bat is made of teak wood with black rubber wrapped around the end. Diameter size + 25 centimeters;
    • Dhodhog kendang , which is a smaller drum than jedor made of teak wood. One side is closed using goat skin, while the other side is left open. The bat is made of teak wood with black rubber wrapped around the end. Diameter size + 12.5 centimeters;
    • Bendhe , namely the gamelan organ made of iron and brass, while the beaters are made of teak wood wrapped in black rubber. Bendhe consists of majors (diameter + 20 centimeters), keprah (diameter + 18 centimeters), successors (diameter + 18 centimeters), and kenthing (diameter + 15 centimeters).

    Jedor and dhodhog drums are hit almost simultaneously, only one beat apart. The majors and keprak are beaten monotonously, while the successor and kenthing are beaten alternately. When changing movements, use the whistle brought by Manggalayuda as a marker.

    3. Ireng Mask Dance

    Based on stories circulating in the community, the Topeng Ireng art began to develop among the people on the slopes of Merapi–Merbabu since the Dutch colonial era, which then continued its development in the 1960s.

    At that time, the Dutch colonial government prohibited the public from practicing silat as a precautionary measure so that the people would not have the skills if they later resisted. This is what made the local people develop the various silat movements into folk dances.

    At first, the dance was presented to the accompaniment of gamelan music and Javanese songs, which in essence concern various advice about the goodness of life. This art is growing when presented as part of the construction procession of mosques and prayer rooms.

    Before being installed, the dome of the mosque will usually be paraded around the village first. The carnival or procession will be followed by all the people around the mosque with dances accompanied by tambourines and hymns of praise. This is what later caused this dance to develop into the Topeng Ireng art.

    The name “topeng ireng” itself comes from the word kenceng rhythm plates . Tata means “arrange”, plate means “straight”, rhythm means “tone”, and kenceng means “loud/fast”. Therefore, the dancers perform this dance in straight lines and accompanied by loud and enthusiastic rhythmic music.

    This dance is a form of traditional art performance that combines Islamic religious symbols and the martial arts of pencak silat. Not surprisingly, Topeng Ireng is always accompanied by Islamic rhythms and songs. Aside from being a symbol of Islam, the Topeng Ireng performance also depicts the lives of rural communities living on the slopes of Merapi–Merbabu. Judging from its firm movements, this dance describes the physical strength possessed by the village community when fighting or making friends with nature to defend their lives.

    Before being known as Topeng Ireng, this performing art was known as the Dayakan art. The name is based on the costumes worn by the dancers, namely the lower clothing worn by the dancers resembling traditional Dayak clothing.

    Around 1995, the word Dayakan was considered to contain SARA elements. This is what later made this art changed its name to Topeng Ireng art. However, the name Dayakan has been popularized again since 2005, thus making this art known by two names, namely Topeng Ireng and Dayakan.

    4. Gambyong Dance

    Gambyong dance is a form of classical Javanese dance originating from the Surakarta region. This dance is usually performed to welcome guests. Gambyong is not just one dance, but consists of many choreographies – the best known are the Gambyong Pareanom Dance (with several variations) and the Gambyong Pangkur Dance (with several variations).

    Before the Mangkunegaran Duchy reorganized and standardized the structure of its movements, the dance belonged to the people as part of agricultural ceremonies so that the rice planted would thrive and obtain an abundant harvest. Dewi Sri is described as dancers who are dancing. Now, the Gambyong dance is used to enliven wedding receptions and welcome guests of honor or statehood.

    In general, the Gambyong dance consists of three parts, namely the beginning, the content, and the end (in terms of Javanese dance, the Surakarta style is called the advanced beksan, beksan , and backward beksan ). The center of the whole dance lies in the movement of the feet, arms, body and head.

    Conceptual head and hand movements are the main characteristic of the dance. The dancer’s eyes always accompany or follow every movement of the hand and the direction of the fingers. In addition, the foot movements that are so harmonious in rhythm make the dance beautiful to look at.

    The clothes worn by the dancers are colored yellow and green as a symbol of prosperity and fertility. Before the dance begins, it is always opened with Pangkur gending. Movement techniques, rhythm, accompaniment, and drum patterns in this dance are also able to display the dancer’s flexible character.

    5. Serimpi Dance

    Serimpi is a form of presentation of classical Javanese dance from the Mataram Sultanate tradition, which was then continued to be preserved and developed until now by its four heir palaces in Surakarta and Yogyakarta. Serimpi dance in the Sultanate of Yogyakarta is classified into Serimpi Babul Layar, Serimpi Dhempel, and Serimpi Genjung. For Surakarta Sunanate, Serimpi is classified into Serimpi Anglir Mendhung and Serimpi Sangupati.

    The emergence of this dance began when the Mataram Sultanate was ruled by Sultan Agung in 1613–1646. This dance is considered sacred because it is only performed in the palace environment for state rituals and the commemoration of the sultan’s ascension.

    In 1775, the Mataram Sultanate split into two, namely the Yogyakarta Sultanate and the Surakarta Sultanate. This division has an impact on the differences in the movements of the Srimpi dance between the two, even though the essence of the dance is still the same. This dance appeared in the Surakarta Sunanate environment around 1788–1820.

    Since the 1920s, this classical dance practice was included in the Taman Siswa subject in Yogyakarta and in the Kridha Beksa Wirama dance or karawitan association. After Indonesia’s independence, this dance was taught at the government dance and karawitan academies, both in Surakarta and Yogyakarta.

    The presentation of this dance is characterized by four dancers performing graceful movements depicting politeness, delicacy and gentleness. Serimpi is considered to have a similar social position to the Pakarena dance from Makassar, which is seen in terms of the softness of the dancers’ movements and as a palace dance.

    Since ancient times, the Serimpi dance has had a special position in Javanese courts and cannot be compared to other staged dances because of its sacred nature. In the past, this dance could only be performed by people chosen by the palace. Serimpi has the same sacred level as heirlooms or objects that symbolize the power of the king, although it is not as sacred as the Bedhaya dance.

    In its performance, this dance does not always require offerings like the Bedhaya dance, but only at certain times. The musical accompaniment for the Srimpi dance prioritizes a combined choir, namely when singing Javanese songs.

    Serimpi has experienced many developments from time to time, one of which is the duration of the performance. The dance has now been developed into several new variants with shorter durations. For example, Serimpi Anglirmendhung was changed to 11 minutes and Serimpi Gondokusumo was changed to 15 minutes, both of which were originally presented with a duration of approximately 60 minutes.

    So, that’s a brief explanation of the Meaning and Origins of 5 Classical Dances from Central Java. These dances generally fade away with the times. For this reason, friends of Sinaumed’s, let us protect and preserve the culture of our ancestors together. Do not let us lose to cultures from outside Indonesia which are now better known globally, such as Anime, Korean Pop, and Gangnam Style Dance.

  • Matrilineal is a kinship system adopted by several world tribes

    Matrilineal is – Matrilineal is a kinship system that draws bloodline from the mother’s side only. The child will then be connected to the mother including connected to the mother’s relatives, based on the unilateral female lineage.

    The consequence of this kinship system is to attract offspring from the mother’s line which is considered very important. In matters of inheritance, it is the people from the mother’s line who will get more portions than those from the father’s line.

    This kinship system can then be found in the Minangkabau and Semando communities. Children who are related to their mother based on female lineage.

    In a matrilineal society, descent according to the mother’s own line is considered very important, so that it will give rise to family relations that are far more pervasive in families with descent according to the mother’s line. In Indonesia, this kinship system applies to the Minangkabau people.

    Matrilineal in the Minangkabau Tribe

    In family relationships there is a kinship system. This kinship system will then connect a nuclear family or small family with extended family members. Unlike the patrilineal kinship system adopted by tribes in general, the matrilineal system itself is rarely used.

    In Indonesia there are not many tribes that adhere to this kinship system. However, one of the surviving tribes adhering to the matrilineal system is the Minangkabau tribe. The existence of the Minangkabau tribe dominates the province of West Sumatra with a large population.

    Here are some unique facts regarding the matrilineal system adopted by the Minangkabau tribe that you need to know.

    1. Doing Exogamy Marriage

    In the matrilineal system, adat in Minangkabau does not support inter-tribal marriages. Even if they come from a different nagari (a village or area) but have the same tribe, then marriage is still seen as something that is not good.

    Minangkabau custom is often concerned about damage to the ethnic line if two people from the same ethnic group marry. Those who end up violating these provisions will generally receive social sanctions, such as being ostracized from society.

    With regard to exogamy marriages, it is not uncommon for the man to be given the dowry. The position of men with this condition will make them referred to as pick-up people. After marriage, a man will become a “guest” because they will then live in his wife’s family home.

    2. The generation that is born will affect the size of the Gadang house that is inhabited

    Rumah Gadang is an heirloom and is a place for various important events, from birth ceremonies to weddings. If a man has a family, the Gadang house is occupied by his sister with her husband and their children.

    Home development will also adapt to the needs of girls. The more contents, the bigger the size of the house. Women also play a central role in the family structure. Several experts such as Naim, Anwar, and M. Radjab then mentioned what the meaning of family in a Gadang house includes, includingparuik, jurai, and samande.

    Paruik is a term for 5–6 generations who occupy the Gadang house. This larger group is also known as jurai, while the smaller group is also known as samande.

    In general, there is no neglect because each generation and group has an equally important role. For the Minangkabau people, living with a large family is the same as receiving great protection from the family.

    Parents have responsibility for the survival of children, while children are responsible for families with old age. If these two provisions do not work, the responsibility will then be transferred to the saparuik family members.

    If not, it will be taken over by members of the sajurai family, and so on up to a higher family level

    3. Name of Descendant Withdrawn from One of the Parties

    Matrilineal is a term that refers to a kinship system that draws lineage from the female (mother), both sons and daughters. They then bear the tribe in their name according to the tribe owned by the mother.

    Starting from the ancestors to the newly born generation, Minangkabau children generally will not use the tribe from their father’s side. Because of this, the birth of a daughter was welcomed very well because later she would become the successor to the lineage of her tribe.

    4. Inheritance for Collective Use

    As previously mentioned, the Minangkabau people then have a very close relationship with their relatives. The strength of this relationship itself is based on common goals and interests, namely the ownership of houses and land.

    So, even though women play a big role in ethnicity, it does not mean that women will get full power over inheritance or inheritance in their family. The Minangkabau people have the philosophy of Adat Basandi Syarak, Syarak Basandi Kitabullah. This means that besides adhering to adat, the Minangkabau people will also make Islamic teachings a guide in life, including in the distribution of inheritance.

    Minangkabau people in general also adhere to inheritance from mamak (uncle or mother’s brother) to nephews. From the division of this inheritance, usually the inheritance will be used jointly by the recipient of the inheritance with other family members. In a way, the inherited property then cannot be divided and must remain intact because it belongs together.

    5. There are some relationships between women and men in the system

    The matrilineal system adopted by the Minangkabau tribe causes women and men to receive different titles. The difference itself depends on the type of relationship that is established. Here’s an explanation.

    • Mother-niece relationship. Mamak is the name for the uncle and nephew is the name for the uncle’s nephew. This relationship itself is established between the uncle and the child of his sister or the relationship between a man or a woman and his uncle.
      It is Mamak who will play an important role in preserving the matrilineal system. He also served as a protector for his family at the Gadang house. Starting from guiding daughters to continue the matrilineal system of their tribe to guiding boys to be wise if one day they are faced with inheritance.
    • The relationship is based on the Bako mother and the banana child. Induk bako is a term for a woman when it comes to the child of her brother. Meanwhile, the banana child itself shows the relationship between men and women with their father’s sister. The role of women here will be even wider when compared to the relationship in the previous point.
    • Relations on the basis of trust. Husbands will be called sumando because they will be the party who stays in or lives in the house of his wife’s family while the wife is called pasumandan because they become the party that is boarded.

    Even though it is somewhat complex, it cannot be denied that the matrilineal system which was later adopted by the Minangkabau tribe has given birth to a generation of strong women. The role of women in the Minang realm itself then occupies a high position until now.

    Ethnicity in a World that Still Executes Matrilineal Customs

    As we already know, matrilineal is a custom that passes inheritance to women or from the mother’s line. Apart from Indonesia, there are several ethnic groups in the world who still adhere to matrilineal culture, which countries are they?

    1. Minangkabau

    In the Minangkabau community, also known as Minang, located in Indonesia, all property, land and inheritance are passed from mother to daughter. Meanwhile, the father’s income will be passed on to the son.

    In the past, this would then make women in Minang have power, but now, low incomes have contributed little to changes in modern social life. Even so, inheritance continues to be passed down to the mother’s line and the mother is still the head of the family.

    The groom will generally be given to the bride from a female family member, who will escort him to the bride’s house. Overall power and authority would be divided equally between men and women, with women ruling the house, while men had spiritual and political roles. Both parties believed that this would make them equal.

    Women in Minang have the right and power to choose a man to be made the chief of the tribe, then remove him from that position if it is felt that he is not the right person to be made the chief of the tribe.

    2. Will

    The Akan people are a multi-ethnic group in Ghana, where everything is governed according to matrilineal custom. In Ghana men are often the leaders of the tribe, while their power stems from the matrilineal line.

    The men will not only help their own families, but also the families of the women. In general, women in Ghana will carry out many rituals and ceremonies, such as funerals, making food, as well as various house rules.

    3. Mosoo

    Mosuo China is a tribe that lives at the foot of the Himalayas. Mosuo is one of the most well-known examples of a society with matrilineal customs. They even have a tradition of “walking marriage” where women then have the right to choose their partner by walking directly to the house of the man they choose.

    In this tribe the woman is entitled to more than one man and undergoes more than one marriage. Their offspring will later bear the last name and live with their mother, while the male may or may not be involved in raising the child.

    4. Bribri

    Located in northern Panama and Costa Rica, Bribri adheres to a matrilineal custom in which women inherit land and create a large family. The children who will enter the family of their mother and a grandmother are then seen as bearers of tradition and a source of knowledge.

    While men with important roles are not allowed to impart knowledge or give jobs to their sons, only the sons of their sisters.

    The women then have the right to prepare cocoa for the sacred Bribri ritual as one of the most important things in a tribe.

    5. Garo

    Garo is an indigenous tribe in Bangladesh and India. The Garo gave their tribal name after their mother, with the youngest daughter to be heir to all of the mother’s property. Adhering to the matrilineal custom, the women from Garo hold power and will be given the right to rule in the house.

    6. Tuaregs

    The Tuareg consist of a Berber people who have a nomadic lifestyle in the Sahara desert area. In social life, the women of the Tuareg will then have a high status and every tribe within it will be gathered together so that everyone can listen to the women who write and read.

    While the men will raise animals. Most of the property and livestock will be owned by women, while private property will be inherited regardless of gender. Although the majority of them adhere to Islam, the Tuareg ethnicity is also influenced by several other cultures, one of which is matrilineal.

    Matrilineal Related Books

    1. Chinese Padang people – Dima the Earth is stepped on, Disinan Langik is upheld

    There are two kongsi that are the pillars of Chinese society – the gedang and kecik kongsi, the temple as a moral binder and guardian of civilization, as well as close interaction with the Minang community based on a common language. As a result of this adaptation process, their culture now appears with mixed Chinese and Minang characteristics or is experiencing cultural hybridity.

    2. Cultural Communication Understanding Interhuman and Intercultural Communication

    Intercultural communication is the process of exchanging thoughts and meanings between people of different cultures. When communication occurs between people of different nationalities, racial groups or language communities, the communication is called intercultural communication (hereinafter referred to as KAB).

    So basically intercultural communication examines how culture influences communication activities, what are the meanings of verbal and nonverbal messages according to the cultures concerned, what is appropriate to be communicated, when to communicate it, and how to communicate it verbally and nonverbally.

    3. Intercultural Communication in the Age of Cyber ​​Culture

    The development and growth of the internet today has changed the face of the world. There are many things that have changed. Things that were previously limited by geographic conditions and terrain are now slowly fading away, making the exchange of information take place continuously all the time.

    But on the other hand, this condition also blurs the boundaries between cultures, changes the way of communicating between cultures, and directly or indirectly creates a mixture of cultures.

    Now we know that matrilineal is a system of kinship and culture or custom which is still carried out by several tribes in the world, including the Minang tribe in Indonesia.

    Characteristics of Mass Communication

    Hafied Cangara argues that mass communication is one type of communication that has a significant difference from other forms of communication. Mass communication has messages that are open to a wide variety of audiences, such as differences in terms of age, ethnicity, religion, occupation and needs.

    Having a significant difference with other types of communication, here are the characteristics of mass communication to distinguish it from other types of communication.

The mass media has an important role in the process of socialization and dissemination of information.
    6. Mobilization, the sixth function of mass communication is to mobilize people who have been in a period of crisis. An example is when an event occurs that befalls a city in a country. In this case, the mass media has a role to mobilize the general public to share in the experience or event so as to create a feeling that the event also happened to him because it happened in the country he lives in.

  • Masochist Is: Definition Along with Perspectives on Human Rights and Legislation in Indonesia

    Masochist Is – Today, many people don’t understand the definition of the term masochist, but often use it to make it look cool. But the truth is that this masochist is a form of sexual deviance, you know… and can even risk the death of his partner. Indirectly, the laws in our country have regulated that this masochist action is strictly prohibited because it violates the rules. So, what is a masochist? What is the perspective of human rights and law in Indonesia in viewing this masochist action? So, so that You understands these things, let’s look at the following review!

    What is a Masochist?

    The term “masochist” originally came from the name of an Austrian writer in the 19th century, namely Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. In the novels he wrote, it is quite common to mention characters who have an obsession with the combination of sex and pain. That is what underlies the definition of a masochist, namely a person’s disorder where a person will feel passionate if he is hurt or even humiliated (verbally) by his partner. In a broader sense, this masochist refers to an experience of receiving pleasure or satisfaction from painful suffering.

    Not many people know that this masochist belongs to the paraphilia section, which is a disorder related to impulses, behavior, and the desire to generate strong sexual arousal through deviant sexual behavior. Often, this sexual disorder is associated with sadistic behavior, because the perpetrator will indeed do sadistic things during sexual intercourse to get sexual satisfaction, on a reciprocal basis. In a sense, the perpetrators of sadism will get sexual arousal satisfaction through efforts to hurt their partners, while their partners will also feel satisfied after they have been hurt or humiliated (verbally).

    It should be noted that this masochistic activity can lead to death. Of all the activities of masochism, the most dangerous is hypoxyphilia. In this hypoxophilic activity, the patient will be sexually aroused by the lack of oxygen consumption. Starting with using plastic bags, rope snares, to chemicals that can suppress the chest so that breathing will be disturbed and cause death.

    Since this masochistic actor likes painful things to gain sexual satisfaction, he will also do things that most people rarely do. For example by tying or hurting himself when he was having sex fantasies or masturbating. Meanwhile, if the masochist is going to have sex, he will ask his partner to tie him up, close his eyes, and whip him to make him more aroused. This masochist is referred to as a sexual disorder that turns out to occur from childhood to adolescence and is usually experienced by women.

    The hallmark of a masochist is to hurt himself. Related to this, masochism is divided into 2 things, namely moral masochists and eros masochists. This moral masochist refers to someone who has an unconscious pleasure when someone hurts his feelings. When her feelings are hurt, of course she will cry and look sad, but that sadness actually makes her feel “happy”. Meanwhile, masochist eros deals with things that are physical in nature and not only in sexual activity.

    Masochist Becomes a Life-Threatening Sexual Disorder

    For You , who is old enough and has seen the film Fifty Shades of Gray , he must be aware that the film shows a sexual disorder in the form of masochism. Since this sexual disorder is often used as a theme in a film, surely many will consider it understandable. When in fact, when viewed from a psychological perspective, this sexual disorder can be very dangerous and can even be life threatening, both for himself and his sexual partner.

    This masochistic behavior often manifests his sexual fantasies by injuring himself. So that not infrequently, he will cut his skin or burn himself in order to get sexual satisfaction. Indeed, often perpetrators realize that their sexual fantasies only apply in an effort to “play a role” when they are having sexual intercourse. However, it is not uncommon for the hardness to level up to the stage of autocortic asphyxiation.

    Just a little trivia , this autoorotic asphyxiation is a subtype of sexual masochism, in which the culprit deliberately suffocates or suffocates himself. Usually, masochists at this level of asphyxia will wrap their heads in plastic until they run out of oxygen. Then, there were also those who wrapped ropes around their necks so that they suffocated. This of course can cause a lack or depletion of the supply of oxygen from within the body so that it becomes difficult to breathe and dies.

    Masochist in the Perspective of Human Rights and Criminal Law in Indonesia

    According to a research article written by Inna Fauziatal Ngazizah and Maria Ulfa Fatmawati with the title Sadomasochism in Indonesia Perspective on Human Rights and Criminal Law, it states that in fact masochist actions which are included in the form of sadomasochism have included actions that are prohibited by criminal law as well as violating human rights. This research was conducted using the field observation method, then analyzed using the description-analysis method.

    Does You know what sadomasochism is? This sadomasochism is cruel, vicious, or violent behavior that actually gives sexual satisfaction to the perpetrator. So, it can be said that sexual satisfaction will be obtained by hurting or being hurt by the person he loves, both physically and spiritually. This action actually becomes a form of mental disorder , you know… which makes the sufferer will get satisfaction when hurting or being hurt by other parties. If based on the term, this sadomasochism comes from two meanings namely “sadism” and “masochism”. Sadism itself is a form of sexual deviation by obtaining satisfaction, through the torture givento partner. Meanwhile, masochism is a form of sexual satisfaction he receives from his partner.

    In Islam, scholars have agreed to prohibit marital relations with all forms of violence. The thing that is needed is how to create a relationship that upholds equality based on respect and affection. Well, the opinion of these scholars is also almost in line with Law Number 23 of 2004 Article 5 which states that “Everyone is prohibited from committing domestic violence against people within the scope of his household in four ways. The first is physical violence in the form of beatings, pinching, grabbing, collisions and so on. The second is psychological violence, such as body shaming, insults, reproaches, harsh words. The third is sexual violence. Fourth is home abandonment, such as leaving home without information on the causes and reasons.”

    In this study, sources were taken from research that had previously been conducted with the title “Sexual Deviations in Husband and Wife Relationships Perspective of Islamic Law and Law Number 23 of 2004 Concerning Domestic Violence (KDRT)”by Mawardi. In the previous journal, it also discussed sexual deviations in husband and wife relations from the perspective of Islamic law and Law no. 23 of 2004, here only explains that the form of sexual deviation in a husband and wife relationship is in the form of sexual sadism and sexual intercourse in the wife’s rectum which is usually carried out by homosexual couples. This is in Article 8 Letter A of Law no. 23 of 2004 including acts of domestic violence (KDRT) and in Islam it is not allowed because this causes harm, persecution, and is not in accordance with Islamic religious teachings and is contrary to the goals of Islam, namely Rahmatan lil alamin which means to bring mercy to the universe .

    Yep, the existence of this sadism and masochist is a form of sexual fantasy that involves torture in sexual intercourse. For sufferers of this masochist, they will be satisfied with their partner’s torture, from being whipped to dripping with hot wax. Therefore, the couple of a sadistic and masochist must in practice give and receive pain to each other to stimulate their sexual libido. In fact, not infrequently, this couple will exchange roles between sadistic and masochist when having sex.

    The masochist action that deserves attention from HAM is hypoxophilia. Hypoxyphilia is sexual arousal by experiencing limited oxygen with the media of ropes, plastic bags, chest compressions which can reduce oxygen levels for some time (Noermala Sari, 2006: 625). Masochism traits have the same form as sadistic traits.

    Factors that cause masochist behavior are parental behavior, guilt and a deep sense of love for their partners. Parental behavior arises during childhood when their parents hit them in the erogenous area and get satisfaction because of that treatment. Thus causing the incident to occur repeatedly. A person’s guilt towards his partner will make him try hard to get his partner’s forgiveness even though he gets a sense of suffering. A deep sense of love is the beginning of masochist behavior to get pleasure in sexual activity.

    This act of sadomasochism becomes a form of violence in a relationship between two people in their relationship. It was recorded that there had been a lot of violence in the household until 2018, namely around 1046 cases of complaints. This number increases every year and around 22 cases are sexual violence, with the following description:

    • The victim was forced to carry out sexual activities using an intermediary tool. Threats are made by the partner if they don’t follow their wishes.
    • The victim experienced bleeding from her genitals because her partner used objects or accessories on her genitals.
    • The victim was forced to have sexual intercourse with a partner who had a venereal disease.
    • The victim was forced to have an unusual relationship. The unusual relationship meant that one of the partners had a tendency to sexual deviation before having intercourse, such as being beaten first.
    • The victim experienced torture in sexual intercourse.

    The cases of violence described above are of concern from the aspect of protection which is still lacking because almost every day cases of domestic violence still occur. Even though Article 28 G paragraph (1) of the second amendment of the 1945 Constitution states that: “Everyone has the right to protection of himself/herself, family, honor, dignity and property under his control, and has the right to feel safe and protected from threats of fear to do or not doing something that is a human right”

    The Criminal Code outlines that abuse and violence perpetrated by men against women in a relationship has an element of greater sanction when compared to the usual criminal acts of abuse that have no legal relationship, as described in articles 351 to 355 of the Criminal Code. The forms of violence referred to in the law are:

    1. Physical violence, directly in the form of beatings, scrapes to destruction, sexual violence and direct physical violence.
    2. Psychological violence, acts that result in fear, a feeling of helplessness and self-doubt.
    3. Sexual violence, acts in the form of coercion of sexual intercourse, coercion of unnatural relations.

    The form above becomes part of the character of sadomasochism. Violence committed or received by one of the spouses can basically be criminalized if the act is unwanted or disliked by society. The benchmark is an act committed to bring victims or aggrieved parties. Physical violence becomes more problematic if the victim of violence cannot show physical evidence of the violence committed by their partner.

  • Masochism Is: Definition, Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment

    Masochist Is – Today, the term masochist is often used in various discussions both orally and in writing. Not infrequently, this term is heralded as something great, but in fact it is not like that. There are also many people who don’t understand the definition of the term masochist, so they often use it to make it look cool. But the truth is that this masochist is a form of sexual deviance, you know… and can even risk the death of his partner. So what is a masochist then? What are the symptoms and causes of masochism in a person? How do you overcome a masochist in someone? So, so that You understands these things, let’s look at the following review!

    What is a Masochist?

    The term “masochist” originally came from the name of an Austrian writer in the 19th century, namely Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. In the novels he wrote, it is quite common to mention characters who have an obsession with the combination of sex and pain. That is what underlies the definition of a masochist, namely a person’s disorder where a person will feel passionate if he is hurt or even humiliated (verbally) by his partner. In a broader sense, this masochist refers to an experience of receiving pleasure or satisfaction from painful suffering.

    Not many people know that this masochist belongs to the paraphilia section, which is a disorder related to impulses, behavior, and the desire to generate strong sexual arousal through deviant sexual behavior. Often, this sexual disorder is associated with sadistic behavior, because the perpetrator will indeed do sadistic things during sexual intercourse to get sexual satisfaction, on a reciprocal basis. In a sense, the perpetrators of sadism will get sexual arousal satisfaction through efforts to hurt their partners, while their partners will also feel satisfied after they have been hurt or humiliated (verbally).

    It should be noted that this masochistic activity can lead to death. Of all the activities of masochism, the most dangerous is hypoxyphilia. In this hypoxophilic activity, the patient will be sexually aroused by the lack of oxygen consumption. Starting with using plastic bags, rope snares, to chemicals that can suppress the chest so that breathing will be disturbed and cause death.

    Since this masochistic actor likes painful things to gain sexual satisfaction, he will also do things that most people rarely do. For example by tying or hurting himself when he was having sex fantasies or masturbating. Meanwhile, if the masochist is going to have sex, he will ask his partner to tie him up, close his eyes, and whip him to make him more aroused. This masochist is referred to as a sexual disorder that turns out to occur from childhood to adolescence and is usually experienced by women.

    The hallmark of a masochist is to hurt himself. Related to this, masochism is divided into 2 things, namely moral masochists and eros masochists. This moral masochist refers to someone who has an unconscious pleasure when someone hurts his feelings. When her feelings are hurt, of course she will cry and look sad, but that sadness actually makes her feel “happy”. Meanwhile, masochist eros deals with things that are physical in nature and not only in sexual activity.

    Symptoms of a Masochist

    Reporting from Doktersehat.com , someone who has this masochist causes symptoms in the form of:

    • Having intense and recurring sexual fantasies, usually 6 months old. Starting from the act of being beaten, tied up, humiliated (orally), or made to suffer as much as possible.
    • Having significant sexual disorders can actually cause problems in various areas of life, both social and work.

    Things That Lead to Masochists

    Actually, there is no underlying theory about what causes a masochist in a person. However, there are several theories that “try” to explain that masochistic activity is included in sexual paraphilia in general.

    1. Trauma

    Trauma that is felt by someone, especially during childhood, will really make an impression until he becomes an adult. Based on psychoanalysis, trauma experienced in childhood, especially due to sexual abuse, will greatly trigger this masochist when he grows up later. Now, over time, this painful experience tends to make it a sexual deviation, so that he will really enjoy the pain from the trauma he experienced.

    2. Environmental Factors

    Sexual disorders are also strongly influenced by environmental factors, you know! Yep, how the condition of the surrounding environment will greatly affect how one’s mindset, behavior, lifestyle, to sexual tendencies from within a person. The closest environmental factor is the family, especially those who often commit violence, which can make them a masochist.

    3. Sexual Violence

    Previously, it has been explained at a glance that an environment that often commits violence against it, can make it a masochistic sufferer. This violence does not only have to be about sexual violence, but also physical violence. Although in fact, this cannot be confirmed clearly, bad experiences or trauma caused by sexual violence can make him a masochistic person.

    4. Runaway

    Reporting fromdoksehat.com , there is a theory that suggests that sadomasochistic behavior, aka sexual activity that enjoys torturing their partner, is a form of escape. Through his sexual fantasies, the masochist will experience new things that are different from before.

    5. Sexual Fantasy

    This masochistic behavior initially occurred because he had forbidden sexual fantasies, so his passion would be stronger when “suppressed”. Therefore, when he is having sex, he will become more aroused in a state of stress.

    Treatment for Masochist Actors

    Unfortunately, someone who has masochistic behavior in him, rarely seeks professional help. In fact, this sexual disorder can be treated with psychotherapy and drugs, especially to reduce sexual arousal.

    Psychotherapy

    The first way to treat people with masochism is with psychotherapy, which can aim to reveal and overcome what are the causes of this behavior. Usually, the form is in the form of cognitive therapy which includes correcting disturbed thought patterns to practicing empathy.

    In cognitive therapy, which is in the form of correcting this disturbed mindset, it is intended to improve the beliefs of the masochist about anything that can trigger these actions. While in cognitive therapy in the form of empathy training, it is intended to help masochistic actors take the point of view of their victims. This is so that he can also understand the potential dangers that can occur later.

    Drugs

    Usually, the drugs used are testosterone-lowering drugs which are very useful in terms of reducing the frequency of erections. Then there are also antidepressant drugs that are useful to reduce sexual desire. However, please note that these drugs can only be obtained through a doctor’s prescription.

    Masochist Becomes a Life-Threatening Sexual Disorder

    For You , who is old enough and has seen the film Fifty Shades of Gray , he must be aware that the film shows a sexual disorder in the form of masochism. Since this sexual disorder is often used as a theme in a film, surely many will consider it understandable. When in fact, when viewed from a psychological perspective, this sexual disorder can be very dangerous and can even be life threatening, both for himself and his sexual partner.

    This masochistic behavior often manifests his sexual fantasies by injuring himself. So that not infrequently, he will cut his skin or burn himself in order to get sexual satisfaction. Indeed, often perpetrators realize that their sexual fantasies only apply in an effort to “play a role” when they are having sexual intercourse. However, it is not uncommon for the hardness to level up to the stage of autocortic asphyxiation.

    Just a little trivia, this autoorotic asphyxiation is a subtype of sexual masochism, in which the culprit deliberately suffocates or suffocates himself. Usually, masochists at this level of asphyxia will wrap their heads in plastic until they run out of oxygen. Then, there were also those who wrapped ropes around their necks so that they suffocated. This of course can cause a lack or depletion of the supply of oxygen from within the body so that it becomes difficult to breathe and dies.

    So, that’s a review of what masochists are often talked about by adults today. This knowledge is included in sex education , but you have to be old enough to learn it…

  • Marketing Mix: Definition, Origins, Concepts, Purpose, Functions, and Benefits

    Lately the term marketing mix is ​​increasingly being heard in everyday life. You may have heard about it in seminars, television, or on social media. Marketing mix is ​​one of the terms familiar to business people.

    Marketing mix can be defined as a marketing strategy that combines several elements in an integrated manner to achieve a targeted market marketing objective. An expert named Buchari Alma interprets marketing mix as a form of strategy in combining various kinds of marketing activities to create a maximum combination, so that the most satisfying results will appear.

    Marketing mix or what is known in Indonesian as the marketing mix is ​​the foundation of the basic model of a business. This term was first introduced by a Harvard marketing professor named Neil Borden in 1948 who was inspired by the journal of his colleague, Prof. James Culliton.

    One of the most widely known developments in the marketing mix concept is the 7P marketing mix . This concept was introduced by Booms and Bitner which contains four 4P elements plus three new elements, namely physical evidence, people , and process . The marketing mix concept can not only be used to promote old businesses, but also to develop new businesses.

    The following is a summary of the history, understanding, concepts, goals, functions, and benefits obtained from the marketing mix , quoted from the Maxmanroe and Bachelor of Economics pages , Tuesday (14/6/2022).

    Definition of Marketing Mix

    The term marketing mix was first used by Neil Borden (1964) who was inspired by the ideas of James Cullington (1948). The idea is that a business executive acts as a mixer of ingredients . Borden (1964) compiled a list of marketing mix elements consisting of 12 aspects. The list was then simplified and popularized by Jerome McCarthy (1968) into four main aspects, namely product, price, place and promotion, which became known as the 4Ps.

    Criticism of the 4Ps has prompted a number of marketing experts to propose a new marketing mix model, including the 7P Service Marketing Mix model (Booms and Bitner, 1981) and the holistic marketing mix model (Kotler and Keller, 2006).

    Until now, the 4P model is still the most popular and a key element in most of the marketing literature. The marketing manager will take an approach depending on the industry and target marketing plan.

    Marketing mix or what is known in Indonesian as the marketing mix is ​​the foundation of the basic model of a business. Marketing mix can be defined as a marketing strategy that combines several elements in an integrated manner to achieve a targeted market marketing objective.

    The Origins of the Marketing Mix

    In 1948, Professor James Culliton of Harvard Business School wrote an article entitled The Management of Marketing Costs. Cullington asserts that a business executive is:

    Decider,” an “artist”—a “mixer of ingredients,” who sometimes follows a recipe prepared by others, sometimes prepares his own recipe as he goes along, sometimes adapts a recipe to the ingredients immediately available, and sometimes experiments with or incest ingredients no one else has tried” (Cullington, 1948).

    A business executive is said to be a mixer of ingredients , who sometimes follows other people’s recipes, sometimes prepares his own recipe, sometimes adapts the recipe to the ingredients available, and sometimes experiments with or finds ingredients that have never been tried.

    Neil Borden was captivated by this idea and then adapted it in the context of a marketing executive as a mixer of ingredients who must always be creative in managing a mix of marketing procedures and policies in order to generate profits for the company.

    In his article entitled The Concept of the Marketing Mix , published in 1964, Borden compiled a list of the elements of the marketing mix consisting of 12 aspects, namely:

    • Product Planning.
    • Pricing.
    • Branding.
    • Channels of Distribution.
    • Personal Selling.
    • Advertising.
    • Promotions.
    • Packaging.
    • Displays.
    • servicing.
    • Physical Handling.
    • Fact Finding and Analysis.

    Marketing Mix concept

    1. Marketing Mix 4P

    The 4P model was popularized by Jerome McCarthy (1968) who put forward four elements of the marketing mix including product, price, promotion, and place ( distribution ).

    a. Place

    Place in the marketing mix is ​​basically a form of distribution channel that refers to the location of a product available and can be sold and purchased. Distribution channels in the marketing mix include product completeness, location, inventory, storage facilities, distribution and transportation.

    This concept focuses on the place or location of your company. The more strategic your business location, the greater the profit the company will get. With a strategic location, consumers or potential customers can more easily find and reach your business, so that sales transactions occur more easily.

    How to determine the exact location? What you can do is find and determine sales locations that suit your target market, whether it’s for the bottom, middle, or up .

    b. Product

    A product is something that has functional value and can be used by the customer to achieve something. Products in the marketing mix include variety, quality, design, features, brand name, packaging, size, service, warranty, and returns.

    In theory, products are all forms of business results offered to the market for use or consumption, so that they can meet the needs and desires of society. If you want to be successful in carrying out a marketing mix strategy , you must be able to create and produce a product or service with its own quality and uniqueness.

    That way, your product or service can automatically increase your competitiveness in the market. Products have two elements that need attention, namely quality and visuals. You have to ensure the quality of your product properly. Apart from that, consumers must also feel the need to buy your product or service, not just being interested.

    An easy way that you can do is to determine your target market through a small, structured research. Research conducted on the marketing mix strategy can include information on market response, consumer desires, and so on. Through the information we get from research, we can compare your product/service with competitors, find out the advantages and disadvantages of your product.

    After that, you can carry out evaluations to improve the quality of your products and services, match products with the wants and needs of consumers, and provide an overview of product prospects in the future.

    c. Promotions

    Promotion in the marketing mix is ​​a strategy implemented by marketers to make customers aware of the existence of their product or brand. Sales promotion includes advertising, personal selling, public relations, and direct marketing.

    This marketing mix strategy focuses on business promotion issues, such as how to market products, what media to use, and so on. Promotion is a marketing strategy that has objectives, including:

    • Identify and attract new consumers.
    • Communicate new products.
    • Increase the number of consumers for products that are widely known.
    • Inform consumers about product quality improvement.
    • Invite consumers to come to the place where the product is sold.
    • Motivate consumers to choose or buy a product.

    Basically, promotion is an information dissemination activity that is to persuade, influence and remind the market that your product is ready to be sold and bought by them. One of the things you can do is to advertise.

    Advertising can be done through media such as newspapers, electronics, brochures, banners, and social media. In the digital age like now, marketing strategies with promotions are very easy because there are lots of social media that will really help you.

    d. Price

    Price is one of the most important elements in the marketing mix . Price is the value that will be obtained in exchange for the product. Prices in the marketing mix include catalogs, discounts, special discounts, payment periods and credit terms.

    The price in question is the amount of money that must be paid by your user or client to get the product you are offering. In other words, someone will use the service or buy the product you offer, if the sacrifice incurred (ie money and time) is in accordance with the benefits he wants to get from the product or service offered by the company.

    Regarding this point, your focus is on how to make potential customers or potential buyers feel that their expenses are in accordance with what they get. That way, the marketing mix strategy will be more optimal.

    In determining the price of a product, you have to calculate it based on production costs, capital, and add a few percent profit. The selling price must be in accordance with market prices, not too high, and not too low.

    This is to prevent bankruptcy of course. If you want to sell at a higher price, provide a striking difference compared to your competitors, such as quality and variants, so that consumers feel ” worth it ” at the price of the product.

    2. Service Marketing Mix

    In the context of service marketing, Booms and Bitner (1981) added three elements of the marketing mix besides the 4Ps, so they are also known as the 7Ps.

    a. Participants (People Involved)

    The aspect of people in question is not only consumers. However, all human resources (HR) are involved, including workers to the business team. Especially for this aspect is very important to note. HR is an important component in the marketing mix strategy . The HR factor really determines the progress or failure of a company.

    We cannot deny that this factor plays an important role in making a progress or even a setback of a company. This is why various companies are competing to find the best job candidates, they are even willing to pay more to hire independent job seekers who are experts in finding job candidates for companies.

    Related questions, whether the employee has high performance or vice versa, whether the employee is loyal or vice versa, whether the employee is able to serve consumers well or vice versa will help the success of a service company in the market.

    Another important factor in HR is the attitude and motivation of employees in the service industry. Attitude can be applied in various forms, such as employee appearance, voice in speech, body language , facial expressions, and speech. The motivation will determine the extent to which employees want or like the work to be done.

    b. Process

    The process aspect is a combination of all activities. All of these activities are related to the products produced and delivered to consumers. The process here includes how the company serves the demands of each customer, starting from the customer ordering ( order ) until they finally get what they want.

    Certain companies usually have a unique or special way of serving their customers. Just like in a restaurant, there are several restaurants that provide ” open kitchen ” facilities, where consumers can see each process of making the food they order. This service method is an example of implementing a marketing mix strategy in a culinary business.

    c. Physical Evidence (Physical Appearance)

    Physical appearance is all the devices used to support the running of a business. The physical appearance of the place of business will explain how the company’s building is arranged. Does the company use unique interiors, attractive lightning systems , eye-catching room designs, and so on.

    Companies will certainly realize that the arrangement of buildings in a company will certainly affect the mood of visitors. An interior design that seems messy will certainly make consumers feel a little uncomfortable with the situation at the company.

    Buildings must be able to create a pleasant atmosphere, so as to provide an experience to visitors and can provide added value. The visual component is very important in the marketing mix strategy .

    3. Marketing Mix in Holistic Marketing

    Phillip Kotler and Kevin Lane Keller (2006) modified the 4P marketing mix elements and called them the evolution of marketing management which includes:

    • People .
    • Processes .
    • Programs (including Product, Price, Place and Promotion ).
    • Performance .

    Marketing Mix Goals

    Some of the objectives of the marketing mix include the following:

    1. Direct Marketing

    Direct marketing is a form of interactive marketing system in which one or more advertising media can be used to generate a measurable response or transaction at a location.

    2. Advertising (Advertising)

    Advertising is one of the most important forms of activity in the marketing mix . The main purpose of this advertising is to provide information about goods and services to target consumers in order to be able to increase sales.

    3. Sales Promotion

    Sales promotion is a collection of various intensive tools designed to encourage the purchase of a good or service.

    Marketing Mix function

    Some of the functions that can be obtained from the marketing mix include the following:

    1. Physical Distribution Function

    The physical distribution of a product can be done by transporting and storing the product.

    2. Exchange Function

    Consumers can buy products from manufacturers, either by exchanging money for products or by exchanging products for products for their own use or for resale.

    3. Intermediary Function

    Marketing mix is ​​an intermediary medium for delivering products from producers to consumers that connects exchange activities with physical distribution.

    Marketing Mix Benefits

    Some of the benefits that can be obtained from the marketing mix include the following:

    1. Able to Analyze Finance

    Business people must know how the flow of costs and income according to the situation that occurs.

    2. Wise Allocation of Resources

    Resources are usually limited so they must be used as effectively as possible.

    3. Facilitate the Communication Process

    Able to allocate in the form of responsibility for each part of the division with the respective tasks that have been determined.

    4. Simplify

    This concept can simplify and unify various forms of marketing activities into one so that the marketing department is easier to carry out and manage.

    5. Allocation of Responsibilities

    Businesses need a solid team, but businesses need to allocate responsibilities to each person according to their duties and abilities.

Marketing management has a very important role in a company or organization because with marketing management the company can reach the desired target market and get more consumers.

    1. Definition of Marketing Management

    Marketing management (marketing management) is the analysis of planning, implementation, and control of programs designed to create, build and maintain profitable exchanges with target buyers to achieve organizational goals or company goals.

    According to Kottler and Keller (2012) states that marketing management as the art and science of choosing target markets and getting, keeping, and growing customers through creating, delivering, and communicating superior customer value.

    Marketing management (marketing management) comes from two words, namely management and marketing. Marketing is the analysis, planning, implementation and control of programs designed to create, build and maintain profitable exchanges with target buyers to achieve company goals.

    While management is the process of planning (planning) , organizing (organizing) , actuating (actuating) , directing (directing) , and monitoring (controlling).

    Marketing management is an attempt to plan, implement which consists of organizing, directing and supervising or controlling marketing activities within a company in order to achieve company goals efficiently and effectively.

    According to Sofyan Assauri (2013) marketing management is an activity of analyzing, planning, implementing, and controlling programs designed to establish, build, and maintain profits from exchanges through target markets in order to achieve company goals in the long term.

    Philip (2005) also explains that marketing management is the process of planning and executing, thinking, pricing promotions, and distributing goods and services to create exchanges that meet individual goals within the organization.

    Marketing management involves setting marketing goals and objectives, developing marketing plans, managing marketing functions, putting marketing plans into action, and controlling marketing programs.

    The existence of marketing management itself is because marketing a brand is an important matter for the company. Therefore, all decisions taken must be planned. You can learn about this in the Marketing Management book below.

    2. Marketing Management Function

    The function of marketing management includes analyzing activities, namely analysis carried out to find out the market and its marketing environment so that it can be obtained how big the opportunities are to seize the market and how big the threats must be.

    Explanation of integrated and mutually supporting marketing functions, among others:

    a. Market analysis

    Not all companies have a formal marketing and sales department, but every company must have and carry out various important elements contained in marketing and sales activities with the main aim of making new and old customers interested in returning to use the products and facilities offered continuously. continuously.

    To find out opportunities and threats as well as consumer needs and desires, there are several things that must be considered in the process of market analysis activities, namely: analysis of opportunities and threats, as well as analysis of consumer behavior.

    b. Market segmentation

    Market segmentation is the activity of dividing a market into different groups, where each group has almost the same characteristics.

    By conducting market segmentation, marketing activities can be carried out in a more targeted manner and resources in the field of marketing can be used more effectively and efficiently.

    Market segmentation must meet the requirements including: measurable both the size and breadth as well as the purchasing power of the market segment, accessible so that it can be served effectively, substantial so that it can be profitable if served, and actionable and all programs that has been designed to attract and serve market segmentation can be effective and efficient.

    c. Define target market

    Setting a target market means assigning an active value to each section and then selecting one or more market segments to serve.

    The activity of determining the target market includes: evaluation of market share (section size and growth such as data on customer age, income, gender of each segment), attractive structure in terms of profitability, and objectives and available resources.

    d. Market placement

    The new company must be able to identify the position of existing competitors before determining its own placement. Kotler (1992) explains there are two options, namely:

    1) Put yourself next to one of the existing competitors and fight for market share. Leaders can do this if they feel the company can make superior products, has a large market, and has more resources.

    2) Develop a product that has never been offered on the market today. Before making this decision management must be sure that technically a product can be made quickly, economically a superior product can be made at the planned price level, as well as an adequate number of consumers who like the product.

    e. Marketing planning

    Marketing activities carried out by a company are important to be coordinated and directed to achieve company goals in general and marketing objectives in particular.

    The marketing coordination and direction tool is a marketing plan. Regardless of what type of management style is adopted by a company in planning it must carry out the following four stages:
    1) Define the company’s mission
    2) Identify the company’s strategic business units, analyze and evaluate existing business portfolios
    3) Identify new business arenas that will be entered.

    Thus it can be concluded that marketing planning aims to provide a systematic and neat approach for companies by:
    1) Balancing and aligning marketing activities that ensure the achievement of goals and objectives.
    2) Using ways of doing business in the field of marketing in an incentive and optimal manner.
    3) Quick, precise, and regular control over records, ideas or thoughts as well as marketing efforts or activities within the company.

    Philip Kotler as one of the figures in marketing management released the book Marketing Management Edition 13 Volume 1 which you can get only at sinaumedia.

    3. Purpose of Marketing Management

    a. Creating demand or requests

    One of the goals of marketing management is to create demand in various ways. Making related ways to find out consumer tastes and consumer preferences for goods or services produced to meet consumer needs.

    b. Increase profits

    The marketing team is the only team that generates revenue for the company. Sufficient profit must be obtained as a result of the sale of goods or services wished to satisfy. If the company does not generate profits, then the company will not be able to survive. In addition, profit is also necessary for the growth and diversification of the company.

    c. Create new customers

    Companies are established to sell products or services to customers. Therefore, consumers are the basis of a company’s business. It is consumers who provide income to the company and determine what the company will sell.

    Creating new consumers means exploring and identifying customer needs more broadly. If a company wants to advance and stay in business, creating new customers is crucial. So it is necessary to analyze and understand consumer desires.

    d. Satisfying customers

    Creating new consumers is not enough. Companies must develop and distribute products (goods or services) that meet customer expectations to provide satisfaction. If consumers are not satisfied, then the business will not be able to generate revenue to meet costs and to get a reasonable return on investment.

    Satisfied consumers or customers do not mean only buying goods or services according to consumer needs. They will also make recommendations to those closest to them and can make the goods or services being marketed more widely known.

    e. Image a good product in the eyes of the public

    Building a good product image in society is another marketing management goal. If the marketing team provides quality goods and services to consumers at reasonable prices, it will certainly create a good image for consumers.

    In its application, Sinaumed’s can read the book Application of Marketing Management Tools in the Product Development Process (BP) which can help you better understand the relationship between product image and marketing management.

    4. Main Duties of Marketing Management

    The main task of marketing management is to market the company’s products so as to achieve a long-term profit level for the company, to ensure the survival and development of the company. Marketing management tasks are also inseparable from demand. So, the task of marketing management (marketing management) is not only to seek and develop demand for the company’s products but also includes setting the amount, timing and nature of requests in accordance with company goals.

    In general, the number of requests for goods or services can be greater or less or equal to the number of requests expected by a company. There are eight characteristics of demand that give rise to different marketing tasks. The eight requests include:

    a. Negative demand

    Negative demand is when all or part of an important segment of the potential market does not want the good or service and in fact it is conceivable that people will avoid paying the price.

    b. No demand (no demand)

You can understand this better in the Marketing Management book by Prof. Dr. Thamrin Abdullah, Dr. Francis Tantri.

    5. Marketing Management Concept

    a. Production concept

    The production concept is the concept that consumers or customers will favor products that are available and affordable and management must strive to improve production and distribution efficiency. This concept is the oldest philosophy used in sales.

    This concept still applies to situations where the demand for the product is greater than the supply, and when the cost of the product is higher and productivity improvements are required to reduce it.

    b. Product concept

    The concept that consumers will favor the best quality products and the most innovative traits means that companies must devote energy to continuous product improvement.

    c. Sales concept

    The concept that consumers will not buy enough of a company’s products unless the company undertakes a large-scale sales and promotion effort.

    This concept is usually applied to goods that consumers may not think of buying, for example: insurance. This industry must be adept at tracking potential customers and selling product benefits to consumers with the aim of selling the goods or services the company makes, not what products consumers need.

    d. Marketing concept

    This marketing concept believes that achieving organizational goals depends on determining the needs and wants of target markets and delivering the desired satisfactions more effectively and efficiently than competitors.
    The marketing concept came into effect because sales began to fall, product growth slowed, purchasing patterns changed, competition increased, and selling costs increased.

    e. Social marketing concept

    The societal marketing concept means the concept that companies must determine market needs, wants and interests and deliver the desired satisfactions more effectively and efficiently than competitors in a way that maintains or improves the welfare of consumers and society.

    This concept invites marketers to build social and ethical considerations in their marketing practices. This is to balance and harmonize the three main factors that are important, namely company profits, satisfying consumer desires and public interest.

    To better understand the concepts contained in it, Sinaumed’s can study them through the book Basic Marketing Management Concepts of Strategy to develop their insights and knowledge.

  • Market Share: Definition, Functions, Types, Up to How to Increase It

    Definition of market share – The business world will always intersect with market competition, so for business people to dominate the market is one of the main goals. Usually, business people will calculate how many sales have been made in a certain period to find out their company’s dominance in the market.

    In the business world, this achievement is often referred to as market share or market share. Market share itself is very important to know because it will be a benchmark for the company’s strength when compared to its competitors.

    So, in this article we will discuss the meaning of market share, what are its functions and types, how to calculate it, and tips for increasing market share. If you plan to start a business in the near future, pay close attention.

    Definition of Market Share

    Kotler and Armstrong (2013) define market share as the total sales of a company compared to the total sales in the market. This sales figure can be calculated rationally and used for several purposes, such as:

    • Determine the company’s position in the market
    • Formulate and select a strategy to be used to maintain or expand market share

    To make it easier, try to imagine that right now you are selling macaroni in a housing complex because this food is currently viral and much sought after. But you also have a lot of rivals.

    Let’s say that within one month there are 1000 people who buy macaroni, 300 of them buy from your place, the remaining 700 buy from competitors. This means you have a 30% market share.

    Usually, market share can change at any time depending on changes in consumer tastes or consumers moving their interests to other products. In addition, the more business actors in these commodities, the fiercer the market share competition will be.

    Marketshare function

    Market share has various functions for a company, including:

    1. Improve reputation

    In the eyes of consumers, market share is often used as an indicator of evaluating a company’s reputation. If the product you have manages to dominate the market and can maintain it for several periods, consumers will automatically have more confidence in the business you are running.

    In fact, there may be consumers who promote your products and business to other people without you asking at all. That way your business reputation will increase.

    2. Signs of potential new consumers

    Market share can also help you to know that there are potential new consumers in the industrial sector you choose. When the market share is still low, it means you have a great opportunity to reach these new consumers.

    3. Measuring business competitiveness

    The percentage of market share of the business you run can be an indicator to measure your company’s competitiveness. For example, if your market share is below that of your competitors, it means you have to find out what your competitors are doing to be in their position. The rest is all you have to do is develop an ATM strategy (Observe, Imitate, Modify) to increase market share.

    4. Measuring the amount of sales

    You can also use market share to measure sales volume. If the market share is high, it means that your product sales are good. Vice versa, if the market share is low, it means that your product sales are not good and you need to do an evaluation.

    The purpose of this evaluation is so that you can find out what are the factors that affect the decrease in the number of sales and then find a solution. For example, from the evaluation results you know that sales on social media such as Whatsapp and Facebook are not optimal, meaning you must immediately prepare a new digital sales strategy.

    Types of Market Share

    1. Value market share

    In value market share, the percentage calculation is based on the total sales segment. This means that the company calculates the percentage based on the achieved price.

    You need to know, the value market share figures are not always directly proportional to the volume market share. So, even though the value market share of your business is high, the volume market share is not necessarily high.

    2. Volume market share

    Volume market share refers to calculating the total number of products sold in the market. Interestingly, often the volume market share is lower than the value market share.

    3. Revenue market share

    Revenue market share is a type of market share whose calculation is based on revenue compared to competitors. In other words, revenue market share is more focused on the total money generated from product sales. This revenue market share figure can be a percentage of your product’s individual market share.

    4. Customer market share

    Customer market share is the ratio of the number of customers compared to the total number of customers in your business sector. This type is more widely used in the work sector where the number of consumers and subscribers is really concerned.

    Advantages And Disadvantages Of Market Share

    When you run a business or business and get a sizable market share, you will get the opportunity to attract potential investors to provide additional funds or capital.

    The reason is, businesses or businesses that have a fairly large market share and manage to maintain it tend to experience an increase in turnover. From this increase in turnover, the business expansion process becomes easier to do.

    But of course, a businessman cannot be satisfied quickly and must always try to increase his market share. There are lots of ways you can do this to make it happen, from lowering prices, taking advantage of digital advertising, product innovation, and many more. More details will be discussed in the next section.

    Apart from these advantages, market share also has its own drawbacks. This is because market share is basically a tool that can provide an initial picture that can be used by business people or companies.

    For example, if a company has a larger market share than its competitors but produces less profit, then the company’s market share is less effective as a measure of the company’s success.

    In addition, when there is one or several groups of companies that control the majority of market share, it will make it difficult for other companies to compete. Monopolies that are already very strong will certainly be difficult to tear down, especially for small companies. This situation seems to emphasize that small companies can only get a small profit.

    How to Calculate Market Share

    Calculating market share is important to do to find out a company’s competitiveness or how much “power” a company’s product has in the market. To calculate it, you can use the formula:

    Market share = (company revenue/total industry revenue) x 100%

    For example like this:

    During 2021 yesterday, the macaroni business that you ran managed to collect revenue of IDR 30 million while the total revenue for the macaroni industry in 2021 was IDR 130 million, so the market share for your macaroni business will be:

    Market share: (Rp 30,000,000/Rp 130,000,000) x 100% = 23.07%

    So, the macaroni business that you are running has managed to control 23.07% market share in the macaroni sales industry.

    You need to know, before calculating market share you must determine the target consumers of the business you are running. This target consumer must be specific. For example, you set your target consumers to be school students and university students. So, school and college students need to be even more specific.

    For example students and college students whose allowance is more than 30 thousand per day or 900 thousand per month. From here you can know that the target consumers of your business are students who come from lower middle class families.

    Factors That Can Hamper Companies To Reach Market Share

    In practice, there are external and internal factors that can hinder or become obstacles for companies to reach their market share. These factors must be evaluated in depth so that the company can determine how to overcome them. These factors are:

    1. The target market does not match the product

    Sometimes there are business people who are mistaken in determining the target market so that it does not match the product offered. For example, you sell premium macaroni at a price of IDR 50,000 per kilo, but you offer it to students or students whose allowance is IDR 30,000 per day. This strategy is clearly not going to work because the price of the product being offered is too expensive.

    There are also some business people who directly target the middle to upper market when they are just starting operations or are still in the pioneering phase and the brand is not very well known. Indeed there is nothing wrong with this strategy, it’s just that the chance of loss is quite large.

    2. More and more competitors

    The next factor is the number of competitors in the same industry is increasing. With so many product providers, consumers can choose goods that really suit their needs. If you play in an industry like this, you must be smart in finding the Unique Selling Point (USP) of your product so that it has more value in the eyes of consumers.

    3. The company’s competitiveness is declining

    Decreasing company competitiveness can also be a factor that makes it difficult for a business to reach the targeted market share. For example, the product that you have has no appeal or advantages that differentiate it from products from other competitors.

    4. Misdirected marketing

    Currently, all businesses can use technology to create advertisements on all channels, from social media, websites, to digital media. This method is effective for targeting customers who have specific interests or are relevant to the business.

    However, this method also requires the right marketing strategy and cannot be done haphazardly. At the very least, you have to make the right targeting so that the ads actually reach the right people.

    Ways To Increase Market Share

    1. Do the Observe, Imitate, Modify (ATM) method

    In the business world, there is a method called Observe, Imitate, Modify or often abbreviated as ATM. With this method, business people can seek inspiration from competitors and then modify it to suit the conditions they face.

    Often times, novice business people consider this method to be 100% plagiarism. In fact, ATM and plagiarism are different. Because ATM only takes inspiration, not using the same idea or strategy 100%.

    Therefore, to implement this ATM method there are several things that must be considered from competitors, including:

    • What are the advantages and disadvantages of competitors’ products?
    • How do they serve their customers?
    • What are the marketing strategies used by competitors?

    After getting all the answers, you can think of a strategy that suits your business conditions.

    2. Set your product’s Unique Selling Point

    To win the competition, the products you offer must be superior to competitors. How to? Yes, by setting the Unique Selling Point (USP) of your product.

    USP itself is something that differentiates your product from competitors’ products so that consumers are interested in buying your product rather than competitors’. Some ways that can be done to determine the USP are:

    • First understand what consumers want. The method is to conduct a survey directly to consumers using a digital form. Here you can ask what consumers like and don’t like about your product.
    • After that, you can ask for feedback about service, prices, and other things related to your business
    • Then evaluate the product marketing strategy so that it can match the wishes of consumers
    • You can also find out the shortcomings of competitors’ products and make it the USP of your product. Here there are lots of aspects that you can see, starting from product quality, price, how to serve consumers, language style, even to social media feeds.

    3. Create a business-specific website

    In this digital era, businesses can create special websites for various purposes. For example increasing customer trust or selling products directly. In addition, the website can also be used to develop a business by:

    • Implement a digital marketing strategy
    • Implementing SEO so that the website is on the first page of search engines
    • Search Engine Marketing (SEM)
    • And others

    4. Take advantage of effective marketing strategies

    Utilizing an effective strategy can make it easier for businesses to reach consumers, therefore a businessman must be good at developing marketing strategies. For example using artists to become brand ambassadors, or using celebrity services to promote products on Instagram, and others.

    5. Maintain relationships with consumers

    Reaching new consumers is important, but ensuring that consumers become customers must also be considered. To make it happen you have to maintain relationships with consumers.

    Remember, loyal customers can be an opportunity to increase market share because they will promote your products to friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, even on social media.

    After that, make sure you keep loyal customers from running away to competitors. You can do this by:

    • Always presenting innovative products that can meet consumer needs
    • Continue to maintain product quality
    • Using Cross Selling or Up Selling
    • Provide the best service to every customer
    • Organizing customer loyalty programs

    6. Lower product prices

    In any part of the world, consumers always prefer lower prices and you can make this habit a strategy to increase market share. With a note, you have to do the calculations carefully and think about all the possibilities well.

    7. Lyrics of new demographic groups

    The more your business audience, the greater the sales opportunities. Therefore, if you feel you can and need it, you should try new demographic group lyrics.

    This demographic can be age, economic status, income, interests, or something else. In other words, you create new target markets and marketing strategies based on different demographics.

    8. Routinely evaluate

    The last way to increase market share is to routinely evaluate. You can make evaluations to assess business development every week, month, semester, to yearly. If needed, you can adapt the strategy to the conditions at hand.

    Although the last method is important, not a few business people forget it. Usually after the business is running, the businessman only focuses on income, marketing, and expenses. Though evaluation is also important in business development.

    Thus the discussion about the meaning of market share and how to increase it. Hopefully all the discussion above is useful as well as add to your insight.

  • Manufacturing Agent: Definition, Types, Strengths, and Weaknesses

    Manufacturing agents – In marketing a product, a manufacturer may use agents and intermediaries who do not have the rights to the goods. Typically, these agencies will only do a small amount of marketing flow. Meanwhile, its main function is to facilitate buying and selling: that is, bringing sellers and buyers together and negotiating between the two.

    Agents that are commonly found in the real estate industry, insurance, to food, can represent sellers or buyers and then are paid by the party that employs them. Often times, an agent may represent several non-competitive product manufacturers on a commission basis.

    One of the agents that cannot be dismissed from the industry is a manufacturing agent . Then, what exactly is meant by a manufacturing agent? Check out the full explanation in this article, Sinaumed’s

    Plastic And Composite Manufacturing Processes – Revised Edition

     

     

    Definition of Manufacturing Agent

    Manufacturing agents are agents who work directly with factories, to carry out marketing to some or all of the goods produced by these factories. There can be more than one factory whose products are sold by a manufacturing agent, and usually the products sold are products that do not compete in the same industry.

    Among companies that don’t have enough capital to independently recruit a sales team, the existence of this one agent is very popular, Sinaumed’s.

    In the United States, most manufacturing companies, both small and medium-sized, rely on independent agents to sell their products. The independent agency form of representation is also transitioning for a number of large companies as it has proven to be a cost-effective selling tool.

    Wholesalers, retailers, government agencies, equipment manufacturers, hospitals, and schools are places where agents can sell products. As mentioned, a manufacturing agent may also represent several manufacturers who produce compatible, but non-competitive, lines.

    For example, one agent could represent a company that produces shoes and bags.

    Manufacturing Agent Duties

    Today, manufacturing agents are considered to be highly skilled marketing professionals, which is also where companies introduce these agents to the products they will represent. With these companies, agents are in regular contact, demonstrating special product features, giving demonstrations, and advising on technical features that will be useful.

    Extensive knowledge about the company represented and the product to be marketed must be owned by a manufacturing agent. In fact, agents must also quote credit terms, prices, delivery dates and methods, to costs.

    In addition, these agents may also handle one-off sales, introduce new products, keep track of orders for certain items coming into the factory, and ensure their customers receive excellent service.

    Advantages and Disadvantages of Manufacturing Agents

    As we have seen, having a manufacturing agency is very popular among certain companies that are short on capital. So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of using the services of a manufacturing agent? Here’s the review.

    Excess

    • More efficient marketing and sales budgets for newly established pilot factories.
    • Manufacturers gain insight into market trends, customer demographics, and industries from other regions.
    • Manufacturing agents can help sales by selling compatible products into a single market, for industries where the market is narrow.

    Lack

    • Because they feel they have good sales performance, manufacturing agents have the potential to act autonomously even though they are not employees of the company.
    • Often times, manufacturing agents fail to handle sales because they don’t focus on just one product.

    Types of Manufacturing Agents

    Sinaumed’s, next, we will describe the types of manufacturing agents that you need to know. Let’s see together!

    1. Technical Product Selling

    Usually, a manufacturing agent whose type is technical product selling sells merchandise that is used by the industry in its own business. Perhaps, this process involves the raw materials and parts that the company needs to produce the finished product that it sells. It can also be machinery or electronic equipment designed to make a company operate more efficiently.

    Companies that produce transportation equipment, fabricated metal products, electronics, and heavy machinery are the largest employers who can use manufacturing agents. Often, a single sale represents hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of machines. However, it may take that one sale months to years to complete.

    2. Non-Technical Product Selling

    Generally, manufacturing agents representing non-technical products sell their wares to wholesalers or large retail stores for resale to the general public. The type of goods sold also determines how they approach customers.

    A lot of time that this type of manufacturing agent spends taking orders from customers through existing channels. However, efforts are made to increase the size of these orders by helping wholesalers to sell their existing stock properly.

    3. Sales Promotion Activities

    Another place for manufacturing agents to profit is in sales promotion jobs. This type of agency promotes sales by providing merchandising services and advice instead of selling physical products.

    They also help retailers and build intent, both to increase sales. The reason is, they provide advice on store design, publicity opportunities, exhibitions, special events, to other advertising media.

    Solidworks For Manufacturing Design

     

     

    Manufacturing and Small Business Agents

    Approximately, how are manufacturing agents and small businesses related? What are the advantages and disadvantages like? Come on, see below!

    1. Profit

    Manufacturing agents also provide information to relocation companies or new companies regarding demographics and market trends directly, aka being at the forefront, in addition to providing financial benefits. Companies can gain instant access to industry knowledge or expertise in a given region or country by contracting with a manufacturing agency.

    In addition, there are other advantages such as offering one of the best ways of market access for manufacturers with narrow product lines. Manufacturing agency companies generally have good relations with the manufacturer’s main target market because they usually sell compatible products to a single market.

    This allows manufacturers to enter markets that may be difficult to reach with a direct sales force. Not only that, new businesses can get ideas from manufacturing agents regarding where to advertise, estimates of the potential for certain areas, to comments on competitor strategies!

    2. Lack

    The drawback is that, despite using manufacturing bros, business owners and consultants note that it makes perfect sense for small companies that have to allocate their financial resources very vigilantly and learn quickly about the market, running into certain drawbacks.

    For example, the most frequent complaint of business owners when discussing manufacturing agency companies is the lack of control over agents. This is because company ownership cannot determine how to run a business because manufacturing agents are not company employees.

    Indeed, small business owners can negotiate certain matters with agents, just as clients do with vendors. However, some critics in the final analysis also claimed that manufacturing agents were not always able to devote the necessary time to a single product line because they were doing business on behalf of more than one manufacturer.

    Often, the initial assistance and follow-up services that are included in the basic elements of customer service must be supplied by the manufacturer even if the goods are sold out of the hands of a manufacturing agent.

    Another concern with manufacturing agents is that they increase sales costs by acting as intermediaries in the process.

    However, as Bob Trinkle mentions at Agency Sales Magazine , while manufacturing agencies are an alternative or substitute for direct selling so they should be viewed as a form of outsourcing of the sales function, the need to maintain an internal sales staff for a specific region or product line should be eliminated when hiring agents. manufacture.

    Actually, agents in this way can help small businesses in reducing administrative costs.

    Choosing a Manufacturing Agent

    Manufacturers have many factors to consider when they go through the process of selecting a manufacturing agent. Small business owners should look for someone who demonstrates the ability and willingness to be knowledgeable about their product and application, as well as someone who will respond quickly and present the product in terms of meeting customer needs.

    A good agent will also represent the various product lines he or she markets in a fair way, giving each line the attention it deserves, regardless of how much revenue is factored in (this last concern is especially important for small and new businesses).

    The best rule of thumb for manufacturers is to be patient and do lots of preliminary research. After all, the choice will be the main link between the company and its target audience. Bad choices can ruin a company; conversely, good choices can help launch new producers toward long-term financial stability.

    Given the stakes involved in this choice, MANA recommends in its Directory of Manufacturer Sales Agencies that business owners consider doing the following when weighing their options:

    1. Create an Ideal Agency Profile

    Make the profile clear, but also flexible and realistic. The perfect agency doesn’t exist, but there are many who would do a great job given the chance.

    2. Create a Manufacturing Company Profile

    Manufacturers are encouraged to compile profiles of their target customers, an overview of business needs, and a summary of the philosophy that governs the business. Many agencies can be selective about who to add to their client list, so it makes sense to let them know about the business and its goals and prospects.

    The profile should also be honest and touch on growth plans, the real advantages of the products it manufactures, and past history.

    3. Securing Referrals from Other Agencies

    In the United States, manufacturing agents are closely related and many can name several suitable agencies for the line.

    4. Get References from Other Manufacturers

    Companies in the same area that sell similar products but are not competitive can be a good source of information in finding potential agents. Some may even recommend their own agent, although others may be reluctant to have their agent take on additional product lines and responsibilities.

    5. Be patient

    While manufacturers don’t have the luxury of waiting forever when filling agent vacancies, doing an early re-search is usually a good idea. Many manufacturers later admit that they did not spend enough time exploring their options and learning about their chosen agent. It’s better to take the time it takes to pick the right prospects than to rush into a bad situation and have to fix it later.

    6. Be Flexible in Setting Up Territories

    Agents should have exclusive rights within a territory, but rather than assigning an arbitrary region based on geography, it’s often better to choose the agent best suited to our line and let their scope define the region.

    “Manufacturers should always recognize that independent agents choose independence because they want to do what they want to do, not what any producer wants them to do,” writes Harold J. Novick in Agency Sales Magazine .

    “Therefore, the key to success with an independent agency is finding that one high-performing agency that comes closest to doing what you want it to do in the market today. Hiring an agent with even one key characteristic missing can substantially reduce your possible market share in that regard. Finding the right representatives creates a high probability for a true win-win situation, as both ‘partners’ have the same goal,” he continued.

    7. Liaising with Agents

    Manufacturers should remember that their manufacturing agents are independent sales agents who are not employees of any of their principals, but are business partners with each principal. Thus, manufacturers cannot have the same type of direct control that they exercise over their own personnel.

    From a legal standpoint, it’s important to remember that the manufacturer pays nothing to the agent until the sale is made. They also don’t pay withholding taxes or Social Security.

    Using a manufacturing agent also means that some of the manufacturer’s bookkeeping needs will be taken care of by non-employees. This is an important distinction for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which strongly dislikes arrangements in which companies disguise employees under the guise of an independent agent or contractor.

    When assessing this, the IRS usually uses it as one of its tests of the amount of direct control it exercises over the sales force. If regular reports are requested from an independent agent, the IRS can declare the agent an employee and request various applicable withholding taxes.

    Communication remains an integral part of the relationship between agents and their clients. Both sides need to continue to judge the other about their operations. Agents must tell their principals what they are doing for them in the field, regardless of sales levels at the time, while agents need up-to-date information on things like product specifications and prices.

    In the end, both parties just need to recognize that a cohesive working relationship is in their mutual best interest. In dealing with representatives, manufacturers expect: loyalty; knowledge of the region and/or industry; knowledge of the product line after reasonable exposure; quick response to suggestions; regular follow-up; and their fair share of time agents. Agent.

    Meanwhile, both parties have the right to expect a number of things, including:

    • Fair contracts that recognize performance and reward success and longevity.
    • Access to customer service, training and technical support.
    • Quality product.
    • Timely delivery.
    • A true commitment to building a business in their area.

  • Mangrove Forests Spread in Indonesia

    Mangrove Forests Scattered in Indonesia – Indonesia is known for its wide variety of biodiversity and is spread throughout the archipelago. Having an area that is also wide and large makes Indonesia home to forests which are the source of oxygen or the world’s lungs. It’s no wonder why we as citizens of Indonesia must also start caring about the existence of forests so that they continue to be sustainable by caring for them and rejecting the mass burning of forests that often occurs in various regions.

    One of the biodiversity that Indonesia currently has is the many mangrove forests that grow in various parts of Indonesia, especially coastal areas or swamps which are the natural habitat for the growth and development of the mangrove forests themselves.

    The presence of the mangrove forest itself is a blessing because how can it not that its presence has various benefits not only for maintaining the balance of nature but also for being a source of sustenance for other living things. Humans can take advantage of natural resources in mangrove forests to find food sources and sources of livelihood. Then the animals can take advantage of the growing area of ​​the mangrove forest as a place to live, be it water, land or air animals can live there.

    However, do you all know where the distribution of mangrove forests is in Indonesia? If you don’t know, then in this discussion we have summarized various information about the distribution of mangrove forests throughout Indonesia that Sinaumed’s friends can see and know as additional insight regarding the geographical location of forests in Indonesia.

    Mangrove Forests in Indonesia

    Mangrove forests, or commonly called mangrove forests, grow on the coast, in estuaries, and some even grow on peatlands. Mangroves are of great benefit to Indonesians, up to 40 to 50 percent of whom live near the coast, by preventing erosion and intrusion by tsunamis and seawater. There are several mangrove forest areas in Indonesia which are quite beautiful and used as tourist attractions.

    According to Steenis (1978), the definition of mangrove forest (mangrove) is forest vegetation that grows between tidal lines. Nybakken (1988) defines mangrove forest as a general term used to describe tropical coastal communities dominated by a few special species of trees or shrubs that have the ability to grow in salt water.

    Mangrove forests according to Soerianegara (1990) are forests that grow in coastal areas, usually found in bays and river channels, which are characterized by: 1) not affected by climate; 2) influenced by tides; 3) land that is inundated by sea water; 4) coastal lowlands; 5) no canopy structure in the forest; 6) the type of wood is usually shaped like flames.

    Distribution of Mangrove Forests in Indonesia

    There is no doubt about the existence of mangrove forests in Indonesia. In addition, Indonesia is an archipelago with millions of kilometers of coastline that is vulnerable to seawater erosion. The existence of mangrove forests in Indonesia can be found in almost all islands in Indonesia, both large and small. Indonesia’s mangrove forests alone have an area of ​​3,716,000 hectares. The following islands are the distribution of mangrove forests in Indonesia.

    • West and East Side of Sumatra Island

    Sumatra Island has many mangrove forests. As a large island, Sumatra has some mangrove forests, which are only on the west and east coasts. The area of ​​mangrove forests on the island of Sumatra itself reaches 417,000 hectares.

    • Several Points on the Island of Java

    Java Island is not too wide compared to Sumatra Island, and its coastline is not too long either. However, the existence of mangrove forests on the island of Java cannot be denied. There are not so many mangrove forests on the island of Java, only a few places, namely on the north coast of West Java. The area of ​​mangrove forests on the island of Java alone reaches 34,400 hectares.

    • On the Coast of Borneo Island

    Kalimantan Island is the largest island in Indonesia. Kalimantan Island is also known as a forested island. but as we know mangroves are only found on the coast. Therefore, even on the island of Borneo, mangrove forests are only found on the coast. However, the existence of mangrove forests in Kalimantan is quite evenly distributed, namely almost along the coast of Kalimantan. Kalimantan’s mangroves cover an area of ​​165,000 hectares.

    • On the Coast of Sulawesi Island

    Apart from Kalimantan, Sulawesi has mangrove forests. Sulawesi’s mangrove forests cover an area of ​​53,000 hectares.

    • West Papua Island

    Did you know that the richest mangrove forests in Indonesia are on the island of Papua. Papua’s mangroves cover millions of hectares. The area of ​​mangrove forests in Papua is 2,943,000 hectares. Wow, that’s a pretty big number, Sinaumed’s friends.

    • Bali and Nusa Tenggara

    Mangrove forests are also found in Bali and Nusa Tenggara. The area of ​​mangrove forest in this area is 3,700 hectares.

    Mangrove Forest Tourist Attractions in Indonesia

    • Muara Gembong Bekasi Mangrove Forest

    This mangrove forest in the Gembong Bekasi area offers Mangrove Ecotourism tours with the beauty of mangroves along 200 meters and panoramic sunsets. This area also has rare animals such as Javan langurs, migratory birds and others. There are also good spots or places to take pictures. This tourist area also has places to eat such as cafes or other food stalls.

    • Angke Kapuk Nature Tourism Park (TWA).

    Jakarta is not only about traffic jams. There are also cool places in Jakarta full of mangroves. TWA Angke Kapuk is a nature reserve with a mangrove ecosystem. In this place the area of ​​the Angke Kapuk TWA area is 99.82 hectares. Visiting TWA Angke Kapuk feels different. No jams or suffocating smoke. When passing through the gate, guests will be greeted by beautiful trees. Walking even further, visitors can already see the typical TWA Angke Kapuk tree, namely the mangrove forest. There are dozens of campsites in this area. This place was indeed offered by the TWA management to Angke Kapuk to spend the night or camp.

Not only resistant to abrasion, mangrove forests are also a tourist destination. In the Ecomarine mangrove forest, visitors can try mangrove cultivation by the local community and see ponds where fish are kept.

    • Yogyakarta’s Kulonprogo Mangrove Forest

    Kulonprogo in Yogyakarta also has mangrove forests. This mangrove forest tourism area stretches from east to west, neighboring a river that empties into the Bogowonto River at Congot Beach. In the mangrove forest of Kulon Progo, visitors can enjoy a trip on a bamboo bridge built by the management so that tourists can walk on it without touching the water. This place also has several photo spots. Some bamboo structures consist of bridges and towers. The structure of the bridge becomes so large that its towers soar, making it the perfect photo backdrop.

    There are about four bridges over the river. All bridges are unique and majestic. This mangrove forest is located only 10 kilometers from downtown Balikpapan, to be precise at the end of the Graha Indah Balikpapan housing complex. Even though it’s not far from the city center, visitors can still see hundreds of hectares of green mangrove forests split by rivers. Walking about 50 meters along the iron plank bridge, visitors arrive at a small pier where several outboard motor boats and wooden boats rest. After that, visitors can go down the river by boat and witness the original inhabitants of the place, the monkeys. Arriving at the Balikpapan Mangrove Center, visitors can also relax by the river, sit on iron cotton or climb up to 12 meters without getting off the river.

    Mangrove Forest Habitat

    Mangrove forest plants are diverse because they respond to fluctuations (changes) in the physical environment above, resulting in specific vegetation zones. Some of the physical environment factors are:

    • Land

    As a place of deposition, the beach substrate can vary greatly. The most common are mangroves, which grow in clay mud mixed with organic matter. In some places, however, the proportion of this organic matter is high; there are even mangrove forests growing on peatlands.

    Another substrate is silt from the beach adjacent to the coral reef, where there is a lot of sand or even crushed coral.

    • Exposure to Sea Waves

    The outermost or front part of the mangrove forest towards the open sea is often exposed to strong waves and currents. In contrast to the quieter inside.

    Somewhat similar is the part of the forest that is directly opposite the river, that is, which is located on the bank of the river. The difference is, the salinity in this section is not that high, especially in parts that are quite far from the mouth. Mangrove forests are also a natural barrier that slows down large waves.

    • Tidal puddle

    The outer section also has the longest tidal inundation of any other section; sometimes even permanently underwater. In contrast, parts of the inner forest may only be submerged in seawater once or twice a month during high tide.

    Facing these differences in environmental conditions, a mangrove vegetation zone is formed naturally; which are usually layered, starting from the outermost exposed ocean waves to the relatively dry interior.

    Mangrove species (Rhizophora spp.) usually grow on the outer surface (often hit by waves). Rhizophora apiculata and R. mucronata mangroves grow in the mudflats. While the mangroves R. stylosa and perepat (Sonneratia alba) grow on muddy sand. In calmer parts of the ocean, the black firefly (Avicennia alba) lives in the outer zone, or pilot zone.

    In the deeper parts, which are still under water at high tide, a mixture of R. mucronata mangroves with kendeka (Bruguiera spp.), kaboa (Aegiceras corniculata) and others is often found. While nipa (Nypa fruticans), pida (Sonneratia caseolaris) and bintaro (Cerbera spp.) are found along river banks where the water is fresher.

    Iris (Xylocarpus spp.), teruntum (Lumnitzera racemosa), hillock (Heritiera littoralis) and darkwood (Excoecaria agallocha) are found in the drier interior parts of the forest.

    Condition of Mangrove Forests in Indonesia

    Indonesia has the largest mangrove forest area in the world. According to FAO data for 2007, the area of ​​mangrove forests in Indonesia is 3,062,300 hectares or 19% of the total forests in the world. This number exceeds Australia by about 10 percent and Brazil by about 7 percent.

    According to Arobaya and Wanma, Indonesia has 27% of the world’s mangrove forests or around 4.25 million hectares. Similarities are also shown by national data, namely 4.3 million hectares (Ministry of Forestry, 2006).

    However, the destruction of mangrove forests in Indonesia is getting worse every year. Deforestation in mangroves is 42% in severely damaged condition, 29% in damaged condition, less than 23% of mangroves in good condition, and 6% in very good condition.

    Conclusion

    That’s all for a brief discussion of mangrove forests that are scattered in Indonesia. Not only discussing mangrove forests, but also discussing their distribution area in various islands in Indonesia, tourist attractions of mangrove forests in Indonesia, their natural habitat, and the current condition of mangrove forests in Indonesia.

    Knowing various information about the condition and distribution area of ​​mangrove forests in Indonesia gives us valuable lessons on how important it is to protect and care for nature and its ecosystem because it is very beneficial for the life of every living thing and not only humans who receive the positive impact but all living things both animals and plants. also feel the positive impact of caring for mangrove forests.

  • Mandatory Bathing Intentions for Men and Procedures

    In Islam, chastity and self-cleanliness is an important concern. Every time you want to pray, every Muslim must be pure and clean. Both from themselves and places of worship.

    When a woman finishes her menstrual period, after sexual intercourse, after childbirth and other major hadas, it is obligatory to take a large bath. Likewise with men, when they finish doing something related to a major hadas it is obligatory to take a large bath.

    The obligatory bath or big bath is a way of purifying by washing the water all over the body with the intention of removing the big hadas or janabat. Mandatory bathing procedures have been explained in the Koran, namely in the letter An-Nisa verse 43. The following reads the verse.

    يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ​​ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَقْرَبُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَأَنتُمْ سُكَٰرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ تَعْلَمُوا۟ مَا تَقُولُونَ وَلَا جُنُبًا إِلَّا عَابِرِى سَبِيلٍ حَتَّىٰ تَغْتَسسِلُوا۟ ۚ وَإِن كُنتُم مَّرْضَىٰٓ أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ أَوْ جَآءَ أَحَدٌ مِّنكُم مِّنَ ٱلْغَآئِطِ أَوْ لَٰمَسْتُمُ ٱلنِّسَآءَ فَلَمْ تَجِدُوا۟ مَآءً فَتَيَمَّمُوا۟ صَعِيدًا طَيِّبًا فَٱمْسَحُوا۟ بِوُجُوهِكُمْ وَأَيْدِيكُمْ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَفُوًّا غَفُورًا

    It means: “O you who believe! Do not approach the prayer when you are drunk, until you realize what you are saying, and do not (you approach the mosque when you are) in a junub state, except just passing by the road, before you take a bath (bathe junub). As for if you are sick or are on a journey or after defecating or you have touched a woman, while you do not get water, then do your tayammum with good (holy) dust; wipe your face and your hands with it. Indeed, Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Forgiving.”

    Nawaitul Ghusla Liraf’il Hadatsil Akbari Fardhan Lillahi Ta’ala.

    Meaning: “By mentioning the name of Allah, I intend to take a bath to remove large hadas, obligatory for Allah ta’ala.”

    وَيْتُ الغُسْلَ لِرَفْعِ الجِنَابَ

    Nawaitul ghusla lirafil janabati.

    Meaning: “I intend to take a bath to get rid of junub.”

    Causes of Compulsory Bathing for Men

    Summarizing from the Suara.com page, a man must take a mandatory bath or take a big bath when doing the following things.

    • Releasing semen or sperm with desire.
    • Having sexual intercourse, even if no semen is released, Sinaumed’s is obliged to take a big bath
    • Not sure about the presence of semen that comes out unconsciously. If Sinaumed’s feels this way, he is advised to prioritize caution (ihtiyath), namely by taking a mandatory bath.

    Requirements and Mandatory Bathing Procedures for Men

    Mandatory bathing or junub is important and must be done in order to perform worship and be considered valid in the eyes of Allah. As stated in QS. Al-Maidah verse 6. The following is the sound of the verse.

    يٰٓاَيُّهَا ​​الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِذَا قُمْتُمْ اِلَى الصَّلٰوةِ فَاغْسِلُوْا وُجُوْهَكُمْ وَاَيْدِيَكُمْ اِلَى الْمَرَافِقِ وَامْسَحُوْا بِرُءُوْسِكُمْ وَاَرْجُلَكُمْ اِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِۗ وَاِنْ كُنْتُمْ جُنُبًا فَاطَّهَّرُوْاۗ وَاِنْ كُنْتُمْ مَّرْضٰٓى اَوْ عَلٰى سَفَرٍ اَوْ جَاۤءَ اَحَدٌ مِّنْكُمْ مِّنَ الْغَاۤىِٕطِ اَوْ لٰمَسْتُمُ النِّسَاۤءَ فَلَمْ تَجِدُوْا مَاۤءً فَتَيَمَّمُوْا صَعِيْدًا طَيِّبًا فَامْسَحُوْا بِوُجُوْهِكُمْ وَاَيْدِيْكُمْ مِّنْهُ ۗمَا يُرِيْدُ اللّٰهُ لِيَجْعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّنْ حَرَجٍ وَّلٰكِنْ يُّرِيْدُ لِيُطَهِّرَكُمove

    Meaning: “O you who believe! When you are about to pray, then wash your face and your hands up to the elbows, and wipe your head and (wash) your feet up to the ankles. If you are junub, then take a bath. And if you are sick or on a journey or returning from a place to relieve oneself (latrine) or touch women, then if you do not get water, then do tayammum with good (holy) dust; wipe your face and your hands with it. Allah does not want to make things difficult for you, but He wants to cleanse you and perfect His favors for you, so that you will be grateful.”

    Before performing the obligatory bath, one must understand the conditions for the obligatory bath for men. These conditions consist of an intention in the heart, being Muslim, having common sense, the water used is pure and permissible, there are no things that prevent water from reaching the skin, and the things that require obligatory bathing have stopped.

    Meanwhile, in HR. Muslim said so, “From Aisha she said, “When the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam bathed because of junub, then he started by washing both hands. He poured water with his right hand over his left hand, then washed his genitals and performed ablution with ablution for prayer. Then he rinsed his hair while inserting his fingers into the roots of the hair until they were even. When finished, he washed his head three times, then he washed his whole body and finally washed his feet.”

    1. Reading the intention of bathing is mandatory
    2. A total of three times, hands are cleaned. Then, proceed with cleaning the rectum and genitals. Do this with your left hand.
    3. Then, clean your hands by washing them with soap until they are perfectly clean.
    4. Next, Sinaumed’s performs ablution in the same order as the prayer, namely from washing his face to his feet.
    5. Use your hands to clean between the roots of the hair. Sinaumed’s can use his fingers to touch the scalp like he is combing his hair.
    6. After that, splash water on the head three times. Make sure the water soaks up to the base of the hair.
    7. Next, splash all parts of the body with clean water. First, wash the right side of the body. Then, to the left side of the body.
    8. When washing the whole body. Sinaumed’s must ensure that every part of the body folds has been splashed with water and has been cleaned.

    The Story of Compulsory Bathing

    Mandatory bathing is important for every Muslim when he finishes doing things that require mandatory bathing. Such as sexual relations, menstruation, junub, and so forth. This obligation has existed since the time of the Prophet. In the Handbook  of Shalah An-Nisaa by Abdul Qadir Muhammad Mansur, published by Republika Publisher, it is stated that a descendant of Taimillah bin Tha’labah recounts his visit to Aisyah which is published on the  Islamdigest.republika.co.id page. 

    He said: “I visited Aisha with my mother and aunt. Then one of the two asked Aisha: what did you do while taking a bath (junub)? Hearing this, Aisha replied: “Rasulullah SAW performed ablution as he did for prayer. Then he watered his head three times. While we splashed our heads five times because of the plaits of our hair.” This hadith was narrated by Imam Tirmidhi and is valid.

    عن السّيدة عائشة رضي الله عنها في ذكر غُسل رسول الله – عليه الصّلاة والسّلام – من الجنابة قولها: (كانَ رَسولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلَّمَ إذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الجَنَابَةِ يَبْدَأُ فَيَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ. ثُمَّ يُفْرِغُ بيَمِينِهِ علَى شِمَالِهِ فَيَغْسِلُ فَرْجَهُ. ثُمَّ يَتَوَضَّأُ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ. ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ المَاءَ فيُدْخِلُ أصَابِعَهُ في أُصُولِ الشَّعْرِ، حتَّى إذَا رَأَى أنْ قَدِ اسْتَبْرَأَ حَفَنَ علَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثَ حَفَنَاتٍ. ثُمَّ أفَاضَ علَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ. ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ

    In another history it is also stated that when Rasulullah SAW took a junub bath, he started by washing his hands. Next, use the right hand to pour water when washing the genitals. Then the Messenger of Allah performed ablution as ablution for prayer,”.

    “Then Rasulullah SAW put his hands into the vessel and combed his hair. Until when he saw that the water had touched the skin or cleaned the skin, he watered his head three times. If there is still water left, he throws it again on his head.”

    Then, when there is no water, can the obligatory bathing still be done? Or when in a state where the body cannot be exposed to water? As published on the Akurat.co page, the story of Amr bin Ash who replaced the obligatory bath with tayammum.

    One night, Amr bin Ash’s friend experienced junub. However, he didn’t dare to touch the water for fear that the cold biting his skin would adversely affect his health.

    The other companions knew about Amr bin Ash’s condition. Then, he took the initiative to ask the Prophet Muhammad SAW. Then, the Prophet asked directly to Amr bin Ash’s friend, “Yes Amr, did you lead the prayers for your friends in a junub state?”

    Amr bin Ash also answered the question by mentioning one of Allah’s words,

    Wa laa taqtuluu anfusakum innallaha kaana bikum rahiimaa.

    Meaning: And do not kill yourself. Verily Allah is Most Merciful to you. (QS. An-Nisa: 29)

    The answer said by Amr bin Ash shows that Allah SWT commands us to always take care of ourselves. As for Amr bin Ash, in this case it was protecting himself from the piercing cold so he did tayammum.

    The Messenger of Allah, who heard Amr bin Ash’s explanation, just laughed and didn’t say anything. (Narrated by Abu Dawud)

    Fiqh Book Recommendations

    As Muslims, we should understand the laws in it, including procedures for worship. The following are book recommendations and their summaries as a reference for studying Islamic jurisprudence.

    1. Sexual Jurisprudence

    Prophet Saw. said, “Indeed a husband who looks at his wife and his wife looks at him (with lust), then Allah will look at these two people with a view of mercy. And if the husband holds his wife’s palm with the intention of kissing her or having sex with her, then the sins of the two people will fall from between his fingers.” (Reported by Maisarah bin Ali and Imam Rafi’i from Abu Said al-Khudri). Apart from continuing the lineage (procreation), sexual intercourse is also a source of pleasure (recreation).

    * More than that, religion views sexual activity for husband and wife as worship. Even in other hadiths when a husband looks at his wife or vice versa with passion to make out or have intercourse, Allah looks at them with a look of mercy. Of course, this hadith is only meaningful if the sexual act goes beyond mere physical contact. So, a good Muslim needs to understand Islamic guidance regarding sex so that his sexual behavior and needs lead to pleasure, pleasure, health, and inner and outer beauty have value before Allah.

    2. Law of Wealth

    3. Women’s Jurisprudence Book

    In full, this book reviews how islam gives sublime rules for women in order to raise their noble dignity in this life. The author examines the themes of women’s fiqh one by one: from the nakedness to the prayer priest; from abortion to polygamy; from worship to family; from education to career, from the headscarf to the role of women in the political, social and cultural spheres. In addition to being complete, the discussion method is accurate, thorough, and rigorous in proposing arguments and concluding laws.

    In easy-to-understand language, various views of prominent fiqh and hadith scholars are presented in order to enrich the readers’ insights, then their relevance to the realities of today’s life is extracted. By combining the completeness of the material and the breadth of the discussion, this book is very worthy of being used as a reference for anyone, especially Muslim women. This book guides us to live life according to the guidance of Allah’s law in all aspects of life.

    4. Moral Jurisprudence

    “Very complete and detailed. That’s the added value of this book. The author does not only present problems, but also examines them intelligently, argumentatively, and mentions many new things that have not crossed our minds and minds when carrying out our obligations as parents in educating children.

    “The only guide is Allah!” the author insists. Therefore, according to him, the task of parents in educating their children is to take them to get these instructions. And of course, efforts to do so require attention, serious determination, and special knowledge about how parents should educate their children as exemplified in the Qur’an, the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad, and the experiences of the Prophet’s prominent companions. In Saudi Arabia, Mustafa al-Adawy, the author of this book, is a respected scholar. He not only gives fatwa, but has also written many books which are quite inspirational and important for the progress of this ummah.”

      Apart from that, here are tips on good and correct communication that Sinaumed’s can try, such as:
      ● Speak well. Pronounce words clearly, speak in a relaxed manner neither too fast nor too slow. The right intonation in representing communication, but not too exaggerated. Choose words that are appropriate and standard enough. Trying to speak well is not easy, but keep practicing your speaking skills, and apply these techniques. ● Listen to the other person while talking. With this you can digest various kinds of information conveyed by your interlocutor. Don’t interrupt the conversation, because this is impolite and you receive minimal information. ● Adjust to the context being discussed. Do not deviate or even you talk things that are not necessary. Avoid sarcasm or gossip. Make sure the communication you establish remains in context.

      ● In addition you need to pay attention to body gestures. Gestures describe the feelings and thoughts of the other person. Look into the eyes of your interlocutor, this shows that you are interested in the communication you are having.

      ● Don’t be too tense, occasionally insert humor that invites laughter. This aims to break the ice and can also make you more relaxed to continue to the next discussion.

    6. The ability to control emotions is very important for a leader. If you are an angry person, you have to start to train that emotion. Emotions will only cloud the atmosphere and lead to a lack of clear thinking. If every problem you face is emotional, then you will have difficulty finding a solution to every problem. Silence your emotions, because if we are emotional then we can easily issue harsh words that can hurt anyone including your subordinates in the office.
    7. Maturity in attitude. A management trainee must be mature in thought and professional in action. Not taking sides with anyone, even if it’s a friend or relative. What’s wrong should still be rewarded accordingly. In addition, don’t be easily influenced by anyone and be firm in taking action.
    8. Relevant or related experience. Make sure the company you choose is your passion, and you have sufficient experience and skills.

    • Define a problem and also analyze the problem that occurs.
    • Develop alternative solutions. This requires creativity and the ability to think critically and logically.
    • Define a good solution.
    • Implement solutions and evaluate them.

    There are several problem solving techniques too! You can use this technique in the world of work, such as:

    • Linear Thinking
      Linear Thinking is a simple problem solving technique also known as the Five Whys. This technique emphasizes asking “why” to find the root of the problem
    • Design Thinking
      Design Thinking is a problem solving technique which is a problem solving by emphasizing the approach from the user side.
    • Creative Problem Solving
      This technique in problem solving uses a balance of logic and creativity to find the causes of problems, and develop innovative solutions.
      Creative problem solving is not just brainstorming or out of the box ideas. But there are also several things that must be emphasized in this process, such as:
      1. Don’t judge or take sides until the brainstorming process is over and you’ve evaluated it
      2. Focus on getting lots of ideas, from the brainstorming process and make a list.
      3. Don’t focus on just one idea
      4. In the forum, make the problem a question. Open-ended questions are easier to engage in creative thinking forum content.
    • Solution-based thinking

    • Change mindset. If you see problems as burdens, change that mindset. Make problems a challenge for you to grow better and wiser in making decisions.
    • Practice solving problems. Try to practice solving problems from the easiest to the most complicated.
    • Use the mind mapping method. This method helps you to map the information obtained, so you can easily understand a problem.
    • Learn from others. We can learn how other people make decisions about a problem, or deal with that problem. Good leaders learn anything from anyone.
    • Get yourself involved in a variety of projects. This keeps you in a new position, you can walk and get out of your comfort zone. With this you can train problem solving to develop, because you will be faced with various kinds of problems later.
    • Focus on a solution obtained, not on the problem. Train your mind if problems keep you down. This is what causes your mind to become negative. Face the problems that occur and focus on the solution.
    • Continue to practice communication skills. Communication is very important in problem solving. For this reason, always practice communication both individually and to the team.

  • Mammals: Definition, characteristics, types and examples

    What are Mammals? – Mammals are animals that suckle and are animals with the most diverse species on earth. Mammals come in all shapes and sizes. The way of life in the environment and its habitat also varies. All mammals interact with one another.

    We, as humans are also mammals, therefore, humans tame other mammal species. Mammals, including humans, are warm-blooded vertebrates. Vertebrates are creatures with backbones and hair.

    Mammals feed their young by suckling, in contrast to birds. The mammalian brain is considered more developed than other species. See the article below to find out more about mammals.

     

    Definition of mammals

    The word mammal is a creation of Carl Linnaeus. Mammalia comes from the Latin word ‘mamma’ which means nipple. This word was first put forward in 1758. Mammals are known and referred to as mammals because mammals suckle their young.

    Mammals have mammary glands as a food source. Most mammals reproduce by giving birth to their young, but there are some mammals that do not give birth, or lay eggs. Mammals of this type, called monotremes, have mammary glands, but no nipples. Therefore, these monotremes are still classified as mammals.

    Sinaumed’s can do various interesting facts and fun mammal adventures through the Encyclopedia of the World of Mammals which is below.

    Characteristics of Mammals

    The following are the characteristics of mammals that distinguish them from other species.

    • have mammary glands.
    • have a backbone (vertebrates).
    • have limbs to move such as swimming, running and holding things.
    • has hair to cover the whole body.
    • have nails or claws on the fingers. these nails or claws are useful for climbing or holding food.
    • They have different types of teeth, canines, incisors and molars.
    • have lungs for breathing.
    • has a heart organ divided into two vestibules and two chambers.
    • most reproduce by giving birth (viviparous) some reproduce by laying eggs (ovoviviparous)
    • has a place to develop the embryo, namely the uterus

    Mammals that can live in dry or wet places make them unique and spread all over the earth. Get to know all mammals through the book Encyclopedia Exploring the World of Mammals.

    Mammal Animal Anatomy

    Mammals can be identified by having sweat glands as well as mammary glands. But there are several other features that are not visible if only examined through fossils. For the most part, the characteristics below were not shared by the mammalian ancestors of the Triassic. The following is the anatomy shared by all mammals:

    • Jaw joint : Most mammals have a mandibular bone that attaches to the bones of the skullcap and forms a joint.
    • Middle ear: Mammals can hear by means of sound which is carried from the eardrum by a chain of three bones, the incus and stapes.
    • Teeth: Mammals have a layer of enamel which is present on the surface of the teeth. The enamel layer is composed of prisms, solid elongated rod-shaped structures.
    • Occipital : Mammals have two knobs at the base of the skull that enter into the uppermost neck. Most other tetrapods have only one.
    • Sexual dimorphism: in most mammals, the males are larger than the females. All mammal males fight over females. Females of larger mammals have lower reproductive rates than smaller ones. This suggests that fecundity selection prefers females that are smaller in most mammals.
    • Biological systems: The majority of mammals have seven vertebrae. All mammalian brains have a neocortex, this area is unique to mammals. Mammalian lungs are shaped like a sponge or honeycomb. The mammalian heart is divided into four chambers, two upper and two lower atria. The heart with four chambers separates and ensures blood can flow in the right direction. The skin of mammals consists of three layers, the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. The epidermis of the mammalian skin serves as a water-resistant layer.
    • Fur: ​​Mammals have fur, of different shapes and types. Each type of mammalian hair has its own function. Generally, the function of mammalian fur is sensory, camouflage, protection and also waterproofing. Some mammals that live in the tropics have fur the same length as arctic mammals.
    • Reproductive system: Mammals are gonocoric. Gonokoris is giving birth with male or female genitals, in contrast to hermaphrodites. Male mammals have a penis which is used for urination and fertilization. Female mammals have a clitoris, labia majora and labia minora on the outside of their genitals. The mammary glands in female mammals are the main source for newborns. Unlike other species, although some have nipples, unlike mammals they have mammary glands.

    Mammal behavior

    1. Communication

    Mammals communicate by making sounds. Making this sound also has many meanings such as wanting to mate, warning of danger signs, telling there is a food source and for socialization purposes. For example, male lions who always make noise during mating rituals to drive away other males.

    This of course also serves to attract females. The sound of whale songs is also a signal to the females, whales have different dialects depending on the area of ​​the ocean.

    Sinaumed’s can learn other interesting facts about whales, such as how whales can spit water from their heads in the book Animal Anatomy Series: Whales and Other Mammals.

    These vocalizations also include territorial calls, or distinguish between groups. For example elephants, they communicate socially with various forms of sound such as grunting, sounding a trumpet-like sound, roaring and rumbling. This thunderous call is below the range of human hearing. This sound can only be heard by other elephants, even if they are within a radius of 10 km.

    2. Feeding

    Mammals need a lot of energy to maintain a constant body temperature, therefore mammals also need nutritious food. Some mammals are meat eaters but some are plant eaters. Plant-eating mammals consume complex carbohydrates such as seeds, leaves, fruit, nectar and also mushrooms.

    Apart from carnivores and herbivores, there are also those who eat everything, namely omnivores, they consume both meat and plants. Carnivorous mammals have a simple digestive system. The size of the animal also determines the type of food consumed. Mammals with a small body size require more high energy and have a high metabolism. Meanwhile, larger animals have a slower digestive system.

    Some mammals are omnivores, but generally lean towards carnivores or herbivores. Because meat and plants are digested in different ways, there is a preference for one over the other. For example, bears, there are 70% meat eaters, 50% meat eaters and some are less than 50%.

    3. Mammal Animal Intelligence

    In intelligent mammals, the cerebrum tends to be larger than the rest of the brain. This intelligence is actually not easy to define, but indications of intelligence can include the ability to learn. For example, primates and mice, they can learn and do a new task. This is an important ability when they are first going to a new habitat.

    Types of Mammals and Examples of Mammals

    Mammals are further divided into several orders which are grouped based on similarities in their characteristics. The following is the order of mammals along with examples.

    1. Monotreme

    Monotremes are the only mammals that reproduce by laying eggs. The monotremata order in Indonesia is only spread in Papua. The genitals are in the form of a single hole, which is also the digestive tract and the urinary tract.

    For male monotremes, the tip of the penis is boneless. Female monotremes do not have nipples, but they do have mammary glands. Milk will be channeled through the hairs on the female stomach. Examples of short-snouted nokdiak monotremes, nokdiak baliem and nokdiak sentani.

    2. Dasyuromorphia

    Dasyuromorphia is a marsupial that has many incisors. These carnivorous marsupials are more active at night. This four-legged mammal has a hairy tail and a pointed muzzle.

    Marsupials have large skulls and tails shorter than body length. They had soft leather pads all the way to the heel on the soles of their feet. These pads are useful for supporting their bodies when standing and walking. An example of Dasyuromorphia is the extinct sarcophilus laniarius or the Tasmanian devil.

    3. Peramelemorphia

    Peramelemorphia is an animal that has a pouch. They have a long, pointed nose, a short neck, and a long canal-like pouch that connects the uterus and embryo. They have four legs and are stocky.

    Some species of Peramelemorphia have ears that resemble those of a rabbit. These nocturnal animals have good eyesight and sense of smell. Peramelemorphia is an all-eating or omnivorous mammal. They usually eat insects, leaves or tubers. Examples of Peramelemorphia are Bandikut rats and Kalubu esut.

    4. Diprothodontia

    Diprotodontia are the most diverse group of marsupials with a very large number. Nearly 125 species in the world are included in the Diprotodontia group. This group is arboreal, they walk on two legs and have special behaviors such as being able to jump far or dig holes for their homes.

    Another distinctive feature of them is that their hind toes are fully fused. Most of them are herbivores, but there are also some of them that are omnivores. Examples of Diprotodontia are artifact hook-tailed possums, bubutu talaud and kangaroos.

    5. Eulipotyphla

    Eulipotyphla is a mammal that eats insects. Although they are insectivorous, their bodies weigh less than 20g. Eulipotyphla lived on land, had a rat-like body with a long, pointed snout.

    Their snouts and the hair around them become sensory tools as navigation for their movements in hunting for their prey. They have sharp and pointy teeth. These sharp teeth serve to chew and stab their prey. They also have incisors which are very well suited for grasping. Examples of Eulipotyphla are curut thick tail, curut cibodas, and house munggis.

    6. Scaling

    Scandentia is a mammal that eats insects, fruit and seeds. Their body is similar to that of a squirrel, but they have a long, pointed snout. Scandentia tend to have a small body, flat and elongated body, also a tail with thick hair.

    7. Dermoptera

    Dermaptera are mammals that have mucous membranes that run all over their bodies. This kite membrane in the form of thin skin is found on the neck to the tip of the tail. This kite membrane is covered with thin hairs with a grayish brown color.

    The front and hind legs have sharp claws. These claws are useful for holding and gripping tree branches. They have very small teeth, incisors that are similar to a comb used for feeding their children and grooming to keep their bodies clean. Dermoptera have sharp fangs and wide molars. These nocturnal animals consume fruits, young leaves and flowers. Examples of dermoptera animals are G. variegatus and G. volans.

    8. Chiroptera

    Chiroptera are mammals that can fly. Its fingers can expand to become wings. Chiroptera wings have a thin, elastic skin-like covering. These nocturnal animals are divided into two, namely fruit-eating bats and insect-eating bats.

    Generally, fruit-eating bats have a larger body size than insect-eating bats. The eyes are also large and some of them have claws on their fingers. Fruit-eating bats have a very keen sense of smell and sight. This is useful to help them aim at the fruits.

    Meanwhile, insect-eating bats search for food using ultrasonic waves that cannot be heard by humans. Examples of chiroptera, black trubus bats and bats.

    Various other examples of mammals that exist in the world today are also mentioned in the book Mammalia 1 – Exploring the Animal World.

    9. Primates

    Primates are mammals that have a placenta. Indonesia has 62 species of primates, most of which live in tropical forests. The sizes of primates vary greatly. There are very small ones weighing 30 g and the largest 175 kg, namely gorillas.

    Are you curious about tolling services? Come on, find out the explanation in this article!

    Definition of Maklon Services

    Have you ever heard of a company that offers tolling services, or do you not even know the meaning of tolling services?

    The term maklon comes from the Dutch language, namely maakloon which means “production costs”. The word maakloon was then absorbed into Indonesian and changed to “maklon”. The term tolling is actually familiar in the business world, especially in the field of clothing and cosmetics. In other words, tolling is defined as product processing services carried out by other parties or tolling companies.

    As an example, you use the services offered by a maklok company when you want to run a skincare business with your own brand or brand , but are constrained by capital. A tolling company does have a mission to produce products according to the ideas you want to make happen.

    Legal Basis of Maklon Service Companies

    Provisions related to tolling services include the Value Added Tax (VAT) Law (UU), Income Tax Law (PPh), Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) Number 32/PMK.010/2019, and PMK Number 141/PMK. 03/2015.

    Just like other service businesses, tolling is also subject to tax in its implementation, which means that the delivery is subject to VAT. In addition, the service provider for this product is also not exempt from the obligation to pay Income Tax Article 23.

    1. Aspects of VAT

    Referring to the new tax regulations, namely the Law on Harmonization of Tax Regulations, the applicable VAT rate is 11%. However, the government provides special treatment for tolling services whose products are used for export purposes.

    The VAT facility provided by the government is 0%, provided that the service company must fulfill various conditions including:

    • Details and raw or semi-finished materials are provided by the consignee or service user.
    • Raw or semi-finished materials are processed to produce taxable goods (BKP).
    • Ownership of BKP lies with the service user.
    • Delivery of BKP produced by tolling service entrepreneurs is carried out outside the customs area (supervising agency).
    • Specifically for recipients of export products or those subject to foreign tax.

    2. Aspects of PPh

    Payment for tolling services by the service user to the service provider will be deducted by PPh by 2% of the gross amount, excluding VAT. The gross amount referred to in this case is the total of all production goods with whatever name and form that are paid for, and provided for payment or when payment is due.

    Furthermore, service provider companies also require contracts or agreements between service users and service company owners. With this paid contract, both parties will carry out their respective duties properly and optimally. Self-financing usually depends on the type of product to be produced, including taking into account the composition of the materials needed and the amount of product.

    Important Terms Related to Maklon Factory

    After knowing the basic definitions and concepts, the next thing you need to know about tolling is various important terms in the cooperation process.

    1. Tolls vs. Contracts vs. Fully Fledged Manufacturing

    When doing research and looking for the best tolling service providers, you might come across the terms toll manufacturing, contract manufacturing, and fully fledged manufacturing .

    Toll manufacturing is a toll manufacturing company with product manufacturing facilities only, without providing product raw materials. When choosing this type of company, you must choose and provide the raw materials for the product, as well as determine the specifications and the number of products to be made later.

    Furthermore, there is a manufacturing contract that provides a more complete service. Not only facilitating the production process, but also providing the necessary raw materials. That way, you don’t need to worry about the risk of quality and availability of raw materials at this company.

    Finally, just as the name suggests, fully fledged manufacturing is a tolling service provider company with the most complete services, especially if you compare it to the two previous types. The services provided by this company include the provision of raw materials, the process of mass production of products, as well as responsibility for risks related to product legality and marketing. Fully fledged manufacturing is also very popular with the name one stop makloon.

    2. Job (by) Maklon Order

    The next important term related to tolling is makloon job order. The use of this term refers to the production work that the provider will carry out when he receives an order (order) from a service user.

    3. CMT (Cut, Make, Trim)

    This one term is closely related to the convection industry, which describes the activities of cutting (Cut), making (Make), and Trim. Because of this, you will be familiar with these three terms if you are going to toll clothes at garment companies.

    4. Formulation and Sampling

    If CMT is related to the convection industry, then you will easily find this next term in tolling companies in the food, medicine, and cosmetic industries.

    Yep! Before actually mass-producing, generally the toll service providers will mix the product formula according to the agreement and wishes of the brand owner. After that, they created the sampling and discussed it directly with the brand owner.

    If this sampling is in accordance with the wishes and expectations of the brand owner, they will immediately carry out the product manufacturing process.

    5. ODM Vs. OEMs

    Next, fill in the Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). These two terms appear very often and are widely mentioned in various promotional activities from tolling service providers.

    ODM itself is a form of tolling process in which brand owners are free to determine the design and specifications of the products they sell. Including what materials will be used in the product, what are the benefits, what is the texture, color, and other specifications.

    In contrast, OEM is a form of tolling process in which the brand owner cannot freely determine the product design and specifications. Here the tolling factory will produce finished products, but without a brand, so that the client can claim the product or register it officially at BPOM. This OEM system is also often equated with white label.

    How the Maklon Factory Works

    After understanding various important terms related to the tolling factory, the next thing you have to learn is the tolling system and how it works.

    Although in practice each tolling company certainly has its own policies and SOPs. However, in general the way the tolling factory works is related to several things, namely the tolling company, the brand owner, and the products that are topped.

    Maklon Factory Company/Provider

    Is the party that provides product manufacturing, starting from the formulator team, design, legality administrators, material providers, to the mass production team.

    However, not all companies have the same facilities or provide the same services. There are several tolling companies that only offer OEM or ODM systems only.

    So, before choosing to work with these companies, it’s a good idea for you to find out how the services the company offers to their clients.

    Brand Owner

    Is a party that will use the services of a tolling company, both individually and in certain corporate organizations (CV/PT). Generally, brand owners choose to use tolling services because they do not have sufficient resources to create their own products.

    As you know, in the manufacture of cosmetic products, for example, there are many things that you must prepare and fulfill in the process. Such as selecting the right ingredients, having a reliable formulation team, legality, plus sophisticated factories and production machines.

    This is difficult to fulfill when the brand owner is still a new entrepreneur. In addition, the costs that brand owners incur will be greater than producing their products through tolling services.

    Product (Result)

    Well, the next aspect of the tolling factory system is related to products or results. Yep! this product will be adjusted by mutual agreement between the tolling factory provider and the brand owner. Both from dosage forms, product specifications, to the amount that the brand owner wants.

    Maclon Process

    Each company certainly has its own procedures and policies, even between tolling companies with the same commodity. This is because each company certainly has a different and unique work culture.

    However, the tolling process in general can be summarized into the following steps:

    • Discussion between the brand owner and the tolling service provider to create a cooperation agreement. Includes the amount of costs that the brand owner will incur, product specifications, processing time, and many others.
    • Making samples, after an agreement is formed, the service provider will make product samples and discuss them actively with the brand owner.
    • Legality and certification management, after that if the product requires certain certification, the company can provide legality management or according to the client’s needs.
    • Mass production, after all preparations have been successfully completed. Then the service provider will carry out the process of mass production of the product desired by the brand owner.

    Toll Fee

    Basically the cost of tolling is very closely related to the type of product and specifications that the brand owner wants. In addition, each company also provides different costs and offers.

    Therefore, in this section we will not discuss explicitly how much you have to pay for tolling costs. However, you can estimate by calculating the product unit price, for example starting from 30-50 thousand rupiah per product, then multiplying it by the number of products you want to make.

    For those of you who are just getting into the cosmetics industry and are starting to become a brand owner, this number may be fairly large. Therefore, to outsmart the budget that you will spend later, you can choose a company with a small MOQ.

    5 Types of Maklon Services You Need to Know

    There are many types of tolling services offered in the business world. In general, tolling services are differentiated based on the goods or products to be produced.

    According to various sources, there are 5 types of tolling services that have received more attention from business people. This is because these six products are in great demand by the market, are useful, and contribute well to the economy.

    1. Cosmetic Maklon Services

    You can use cosmetic tolling services when you want to create your own cosmetic brand but are confused about where to start. You only need to discuss the product specifications you want to produce, then the toll service provider will assemble the formula and carry out the mass production of the cosmetics you want.

    Don’t worry, ownership of a cosmetic brand will still be yours. Because basically tolling service providers only help to realize a business that is hindered by you from creating for one reason or another.

    2. Instant Food and Beverage Tolling Services

    It cannot be denied that the food and beverage industry plays an important role for the national economy. Most of the much-loved foods and drinks are in instant form. Therefore, you can rely on instant food and beverage services to help produce the instant goods you want.

    Not only that, this service provider can also be relied upon to take care of the packaging. You also need to pay attention to choosing instant food and beverage tolling services that already have a permit. So that you don’t have to bother taking care of permits to produce goods such as BPOM, product legality, or MUI halal certification.

    3. Convection Tolling Services

    Convection is a tolling service that produces products in the form of clothing. The production process usually uses the cut make trim (CMT) method. The process includes cutting or cutting raw materials according to the pattern of the clothes, making alias sewing process, and the last is trimming or the stage of tidying up the finished clothes.

    In convection tolling services, clothing designs are usually made by the orderer, not the service provider. After the sample is approved, then the toll service owner executes it. Several companies or individuals who need convection services usually produce products such as garments, jackets, uniforms, and bed linen.

    4. Herbal Maklon Services

    Another product that is currently rampant in the market is made from herbs. More and more people are switching to using herbal products, so that more and more companies are providing this tolling service.

    The flow that is passed is almost the same as cosmetic tolls or instant food and drinks. Namely doing product specifications first by the business owner, then continuing with the production process and finally you can market it privately.

    Because this is an herbal product, of course these service providers are professionals who are experts in their respective fields. So, you don’t need to worry because the product that will be produced is definitely of quality in its class and affordable.

    5. Shoe Tolling Services

    This shoe topper is almost the same as convection, because both of them use the cut make trim (CMT) method. The shoe-making business is certainly not an easy thing that can be done by an individual. If you have this, then shoe tolling services are the solution.

    Hand over the task of producing shoes to this tolling service. You also no longer need to bother thinking about the complexity of shoe production. But, you can still contribute by providing the design according to what you want. Apart from that, you can also get involved in choosing what kind of shoe material is suitable for your product.

  • Main Idea: Definition, Characteristics, Functions and How to Find It

    Definition of Main Idea – An article must have a main idea or main idea in it. It is useful to determine which direction the sentence will take place.

    The main idea is something that must be in an article. However, it turns out to know the main idea is not easy. This article will explain the main idea. Starting from the definition, characteristics, functions and how to find the main idea.

    Definition of Main Idea

    Ideas are designs that are arranged inside, thoughts, can also be referred to as ideas. The main idea is an idea conveyed by the author in a subject in the paragraph. The main idea also has another name. Among them are main ideas, main ideas or main thoughts.

    The main idea is the most important thing in a paragraph. The main idea will provide important information for the reader. In addition, the main idea will also help the writer to develop a writing flow. Main ideas will be supported by explanatory ideas.

    In a sentence, usually only found one main idea. The main idea is located at the beginning of the sentence. But there is something the reader needs to remember, namely the first sentence is not the same as the main sentence. The first sentence can be at the beginning of the paragraph, this is referred to as a deductive paragraph. If it is located at the end of the paragraph, it is called an inductive paragraph. When it is at the beginning or at the end of a paragraph it is called a mixed paragraph.

    Main Idea Characteristics

    A work by Marchella Praserda Katika, in the journal “The Ability to Determine Main Ideas by Using an Inquiry Learning Model for Class VIII Students of SMP Negeri 1 Bone-Bone North Luwu Regency” which was made in 2018, explains that the main idea has several characteristics. The following are the characteristics of the main idea:

    1. The existence of the main idea is not complicated

    The existence of the main idea in a paragraph should not be convoluted. That is, the meaning of the main idea should not be narrow. However, not too broad. This serves so that the reader can easily catch what the main idea is. In addition, this will also help readers to easily understand it.

    2. The main idea is stated clearly

    Apart from being simple, a main idea must also be clearly written or described by the author. This is related to the location. In addition, what will be conveyed or the essence of the idea must also be stated clearly.

    3. Is general

    A main idea must contain something that is general in nature. This will later be pursed again. This means that a main idea can then be explained and further elaborated. The description will be more specific in the following sentences.

    4. Have supporting sentences

    A main idea does not necessarily stand alone in a paragraph. The main idea must have a supporting sentence, or a clear idea. These supporting sentences are useful for providing further explanation regarding the previous main idea. So that the paragraph will be coherent and easy to understand.

    5. Main Idea function

    The main idea in a paragraph also has a function. Like to make it easier for the reader to know the essence or subject matter in a paragraph that is read. This is useful so that the essence of what is conveyed in the paragraph can be conveyed. Through identifying the main idea, the reader can find out the main idea of ​​a paragraph that is read.

    How to Find Main Ideas

    Even if you just read, finding the main idea is not as easy as it looks. The first easy thing to do to determine the main idea is to look at the type of paragraph you are reading. Determining a main idea in a paragraph is something that requires precision.

    Here are some ways to find the main idea in a paragraph:

    1. Read the entire paragraph

    The first way you can do is to read the entire paragraph. You do this by concentrating carefully when reading. Read at the same time certi word for word in the paragraph. In addition, carefully read any available information. This step can help you determine the main idea. So you can distinguish which is the main idea or which is the explanatory sentence in the paragraph.

    2. Read each sentence

    The second way that can be done to determine the main idea is to read and understand the sentence. Every sentence in a writing or reading needs to be understood. This is done because each paragraph consists of several main ideas. In addition, each main idea can be located anywhere. It can be located at the beginning, the end or both. So it is important to read and understand each sentence.

    3. Separate main sentences

    The next way is to separate the main sentence from the explanatory sentence. Distinguish between main sentences and explanatory sentences in a paragraph. The main sentence in a paragraph will usually be followed or preceded by explanatory sentences.

    In this case, you should be able to distinguish between the supporting sentence and the main sentence. The trick is to look at the characteristics between the two. An explanatory sentence is a sentence that contains evidence, an example or a special detail. If you can already distinguish between the two, you will get the main idea in the paragraph easily.

    4. Mark important information

    The fourth way that can be done is to give signs to important information. Such important information can be in every sentence or paragraph. You can mark a few words that you suspect are important and interesting information.

    When important information is in two sentences or more, try to select it. Then reconsider the sentences. Through these four ways, you can find the main idea easily and correctly.

    5. Explanatory sentences are supports

    The next way is the fifth way. This method is done by recognizing explanatory sentences in a paragraph that are as supporters. In this stage, when you are still having difficulties, you can pay attention to the use of repeated words.

    That’s because generally the use of repeated words has a function as an explanatory. Repeated words will explain the sentence before or after it. You can choose these explanatory sentences and try them out when they stand alone.

    When the explanatory sentence stands alone, it cannot be used as the main idea. Therefore, you can use this method to distinguish explanatory sentences. So that will find the main idea of ​​the paragraph.

    6. Conclude the contents of the paragraph

    The sixth way that can be done is to draw conclusions. Summarize the contents of a paragraph. It will be useful to help find and determine a main idea. So this will give you convenience.

    7. Mark the main idea

    The way to determine the seventh main idea is to mark it. Mark the main idea in each paragraph of an essay as a whole. You can do this by combining the beginning and end of sentences in the paragraph. This main idea is generally called a mixed main idea.

    You can determine the main idea of ​​the mixture seen from the initial sentence which could be the main sentence. while at the end of the sentence, try to conclude the paragraph. You can immediately give special signs. This will come in handy when reading the next paragraph.

  • Mad Thabi’i: Definition, How to Read and Examples

    Mad thabi’i – When someone reads the Koran, of course he is not allowed to read it carelessly or just read without studying the science of tajwid first. Because a Muslim is required to learn the science of tajwid when reading the Koran.

    In fact, the law of learning tajwid is fardhu kifayah, so it means that learning tajwid is an obligation and this obligation will fall if there are several people who learn it.

    By learning the science of recitation, the reading of the Al-Quran becomes clearer and the meaning of the verses in the Al-Quran is easier to understand. One of the tajwid sciences that Sinaumed’s must learn is mad reading and one type of mad reading is mad asli or mad thabi’i. What is mad thabi’i? What is the way to read it and how is it an example? Check out the explanation further in this article.

    Definition of Mad and Mad Thabi’i

    Theoretically, a qori or Al-Quran reader is required to study and know the guidelines outlined by the scholars of tajwid experts as well as things that have been recorded by the imam of the Qurra, namely regarding the law of nun mati, tanwin and mim mati, reading mad and the law, makhorijul letters and their characteristics, waqof and ibtida and other laws.

    Books on the science of recitation, of course, have explained the laws of nun breadfruit, tanwin and mim mati and one of the most frequently encountered is the law of recitation, namely mad and qasr readings.

    It should be noted that there are quite a lot of types of mad reading, namely there are 15 types of mad reading. Linguistically, mad can be interpreted as an addition or in terms of mad is lengthening the sound when pronouncing the letter mad.

    In discussing the science of recitation, there are three letters that are categorized into mad letters, among which are alif with the previous letter having the vowel fathah, yes breadfruit with the previous letter having the vowel kasrah, and finally wawu breadfruit with the previous letter having the vowel in the form of dhommah.

    However, in terms of details, the laws of mad reading may vary. There are various kinds of mad readings that Sinaumed’s need to know as a basis for reading the Al-Quran properly and well.

    There is also an argument or origin for mad reading, namely from the hadith of Musa bin Yazid al Kindiy ra who said, when Ibn Mas’ud’s friend taught someone, that person also read:

    ???

    Companions of Ibn Mas’ud denied those who read لِلْفُقَرَاۤءِ without extending it and did not give any relief for not extending it. Even though the long and short pronunciation does not affect the sentence and the meaning of the verse.

    However, because the reading of the Al-Quran was a sunnah muttaba’ah reading from the last person who took it from the first person, the friend of Ibn Mas’ud also denied reading that was not the same as the reading of the Prophet SAW which was read to all the companions.

    So in that way, it shows the obligation of studying the science of recitation and following its provisions when reading the Al-Quran.

    According to the book Nihayatul Qoul Al Mufid written by Shaykh M. Makky Nashor, it is explained that mad according to language means lengthening and adding. Meanwhile according to the term mad are the following:

    اِطَالَةُ الصَّوْتِ بِحَرْفٍ مِنْ حُرُوْفِ الْمَدِّ

    Extend the sound with one of the letters from mad letters or original letters.

    Meanwhile, according to KH. Maftuh Basthul Birri in his book entitled Standard Tajweed which is translated by Fathul Mannan, explains that mad according to the term qurra is lengthening the sound with the letter mad.

    The mad letters referred to are three of them, namely alif, wawu and finally yes’ with the condition that they must die and fall after the munsabah vow. The size for reading the mad length can be counted on the fingers.

    One movement is called one vowel, one letter is one vowel and one alif is defined as two vowels or two movements. Move your fingers normally, namely by holding them or by opening them, apart from counting the length, you can also do it with a tap, such as one tap, two taps and so on.

    Mad thabi’i or original mad is the basic concept of mad in the Al-Quran. Mad thabi’i is a word in the Koran that has the vowel fathah and is followed by the hijaiyah letter alif (ا), the vowel kasrah is followed by yes (ي) breadfruit and then the vowel dhammah is also followed by waw breadfruit (و).

    Original mad or mad thabi’i can also be interpreted as a branch of discussion of various kinds of mad. According to Arabic, mad means lengthening. More specifically, the reader of the Koran must extend the sound of the letter or the reading because in this verse there is one letter mad.

    Mad thabi’i reading law must be recited with a length of 2 vowels or as long as 2 beats. Every reader of the Koran finds verses with the law of tajwid mad thabi’i. Then it is obligatory to read the verse in accordance with the rules of mad thabi’i.

    Mad Reading Distribution

    Before discussing further about mad thabi’i Sinaumed’s, it is necessary to know an explanation about the distribution of mad in general.

    Described by Shaykh Sulaiman Al Jamzuri in his book entitled Tuhfatul Athfal, he said:

    وﺃلمد اﺻﻠـﻰ ﻭ ﻓـﺮﻋــﻰ ﻟـﻪ * ﻭﺳــﻢ ﺃﻭﻻ ﻃﺒﻴـﻌـﻴﺎ ﻭﻫـــﻮ

    ???

    بل أي حرف غير هنز اوسكون * ﺟﺎ ﺑﻌـﺪ ﻣـﺪ ﻓﺎﻟﻄﺒــﻴﻌﻰ ﻳﻜـﻮﻥ

    It means:

    There are two mad schools, namely original mad (mad thabi’i) and mad far’i. The original mad is also called mad thabi’i, namely mad which does not depend on causes and does not also depend on the absence of letters obtained. Every letter other than hamza and breadfruit that comes after mad letters (alif, wawu, yes) is mad thabi’i.

    Meanwhile, according to the book Nihayatul Qoul Al Mufid written by Shaykh M. Makky Nashor, it is explained that the original mad is the basic or principal mad law. Given the name mad original or mad thobi’i because someone who has good character will not reduce or add to the length of the reading that has been set.

    So, if in an aya there is a wawu mati that falls after the vowel dhommah, yes mati that falls after the vowel kasrah and an alif that falls after the vowel fathah, then the length is one alif or two vowels.

    Another opinion says the reason it is called mad is because mad reading is in accordance with the basis or reaction. Meanwhile mad reading is called mad thabi’i because of the nature of mad or the length of the reading is certain, namely as long as one alif.

    Actually there are 15 types of mad readings, but broadly speaking mad readings only have two types namely mad original or mad thabi’i and mad far’i.

    Mad far’i reading can be interpreted as a branch. So, actually, mad far’i is a branch of the original mad and in general mad far’i occurs because there is another cause that comes from the letters breadfruit and hamzah.

    Types of Mad Thabi’i Readings

    Mad thabi’i does not depend on causes, for example when meeting with hamzah and breadfruit. The dependence of mad thabi’i is only on mad letters. Readings from mad thabi’i are generally divided into several types, namely mad thabi’i kalimi and mad thabi’i harfi. Here’s a further explanation.

     

    • Mad Thabi’i Kalimi 

    Mad thabi’i kalimi is mad thabi’i which is seen in the word or mad thabi’i which is seen in the form of the word. Mad thabi’i kalimi there are still several types that divide it, namely mad thabi’i kalimi dhahir and mad thabi’i kalimi muqaddar.

    Mad thabi’i kalimi dhahir is the original mad which has mad letters and is clearly visible in rasm or writing. Examples are the following:

    صِرَاطَ

    The example above is before the alif there is the letter ro with the vowel fathah.

    The second type is mad thabi’i muqaddar, namely mad letters which are not clearly visible racially or in writing because they are discarded. Examples are the following:

    الرَّحْمَٰنِ

    The example above is mad thabi’i because there is a letter mim with vowel fathah and it must be read at length because there is an alif mad which is not visible or not written.

     

    • Mad Thabi’i Harfi

    Mad thabi’i harfi is mad thabi’i which has the form of letters. Mad thabi’i literally only exists in fawatihus suwar or letter openers or muqatha’ah letters.

    Mad thabi’i harfi is collected into five letters حَيٌّ طَهُرَ and then shortened into the following sentences:

    كهيعص

    The example above is mad thabi’i harfi which is only in the opening of the letter, such as the letter Maryam with mad thabi’i harif which is in the letter ha and the letter yes.

    As an additional note, if there are the letters kho, yes, shot, hamzah and ro, then they are read by extending them to two vowels or one alif and it is called the law of reading mad thobi’i harfi, not referred to as the customary mad harfi mukhaffaf because two the following reasons:

    • It does not have original breadfruit after the letter alif mad ( حا , يا , طا ,ها , را ) and is different from the letter kof ( ق ) which is read  قاف after mad there is breadfruit in the letter fa’ which is included in the common mad harfi mukhaffaf.
    • The letters ( ح ي ط ه ر ) must be read extended to two vowels or one alif and not read to a length of 6 vowels like the usual mad reading. All fawatih letters as suwar are read using Asma Al letters and if they are read in the letters that are read with musamayatul letters, then according to the history of Imam Hafs from Imam Asim, the reading should not be idghomed.

    The following examples:

    سۤ ۚ – ١ وَالْقُرْاٰنِ الْحَكِيْمِۙ – نۤ ۚوَالْقَلَمِ وَمَا يَسْطُرُوْنَۙ –١

    In addition to the two types of mad thabi’i above, there are also a number of additions that are related to mad thabi’i laws that need to be of concern to the reciter. Here’s the explanation.

     

    • Mad Thabi’i Not Read

    When reading the Koran or reciting recitations, there are several readings that should be read according to the mad thabi’i reading law, but the mad thabi’i are not read. An example is the fragment of Surah Al Baqarah verse 17, as follows:

    مَثَلُهُمْ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي اسْتَوْقَدَ

    From the example above, there is mad thabi’i, that is, after the letter ya breadfruit, which previously had the letter dzal with the vowel kasrah. However, from beginning to end, his mad thabi’i readings were not legible.

    If there is a mad thabi’i reading, then after meeting the letter breadfruit, then the mad thabi’i reading is not read, this is for the sake of preventing iltiqa sakinain or a meeting of the two sukun.

     

    • Mad Thabi’i Tak Idgham

    In the reading law of idgham mutamatsilain it is stated that if two letters are the same, then the first letter of breadfruit and the second of life will be included as the first idgham in the second letter.

    The rule of idgham mutamatsilain does not apply if it coincides with the reading law of mad thabi’i. An example is the letter ya mad breadfruit meeting with yes or the letter wawu mad breadfruit meeting wawu. Examples are the following:

    الَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ

    (letters ya mad meet with letters ya)

     آمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوْا

    (letters wawu mad meet with letters wawu)

    From the example above, it can be concluded that the idgham mutamatsilain reading law does not apply if it is concurrent with the mad thabi’i law, because the mad thabi’i reading law will be superior or some opinions reveal that reading like this is mad tamkin.

     

    • Mad Reading Like Mad Thabi’i

    The last mad reading law is a reading that is similar to mad thabi’i, namely mad tamkin, mad iwadh, mad shilah washirah and mad badal. The four mad reading laws are derived from mad thabi;i, because they have the same reading length, which is 2 vowels long.

    According to some opinions, similar mad readings such as mad thabi’i are included in the division of the types of mad thabi’i. Meanwhile, other opinions reveal that the derivatives of mad thabi’i and mad thabi’i must still be explained differently and separately.

    Examples of Mad Thabi’i Readings

    So that Sinaumed’s can understand the explanation regarding the law of mad thabi’i reading, here are some examples of mad thabi’ readings in the Al-Quran.

    • QS. Al Humazah: 3

    يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ 

    Yaḥsabu anna mālahū akhladah

    • QS. AlFiel: 1

    أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ

    Alam tara kaifa fa’ala rabbuka bi`aṣ-ḥābil-fīil

    • QS. AlFiel: 5

    فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولٍۭ

    Fa ja’alahum ka’aṣfim ma`kụl

    • QS. Al Quraysh: 4

    ٱلَّذِىٓ أَطْعَمَهُم مِّن جُوعٍ وَءَامَنَهُم مِّنْ خَوْفٍۭ

    Allażī aṭ’amahum min jụ’iw wa āmanahum min khaụf

    • QS. Al Maun: 3

    وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ 

    Wa lā yaḥuḍḍu ‘alā ṭa’āmil-miskīn

    • QS. An Nasr: 2

    وَرَاَيۡتَ النَّاسَ يَدۡخُلُوۡنَ فِىۡ دِيۡنِ اللّٰهِ اَفۡوَاجًا

    Wa ra-aitan naa syayadkhuluuna fii diinillaahi af waajaa

    • QS. At Takasur: 5

    كَلَّا لَوۡ تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ عِلۡمَ الۡيَقِيۡنِؕ

    Kalla Lauta’lamuuna ilmal yaqiin

    • QS.. Al Qariah: 7

    فَهُوَ فِىۡ عِيۡشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ

    Fahuwa fii ii syatirroodiyah

    • QS. An Nas: 4

    مِنۡ شَرِّ الۡوَسۡوَاسِ ۙ الۡخَـنَّاسِ

    Ming syarril was waasil khannas

    Thus the explanation regarding the law of reading mad thabi’i. As a Muslim, of course, Sinaumed’s needs to learn the science of recitation so that he can read the Al-Quran properly and well.

    If Sinaumed’s wants to start studying recitation or learning to read the Koran, then Sinaumed’s can learn it by reading books. As #FriendsWithoutLimits, sinaumedia.com provides various kinds of quality and original books for Sinaumed’s.

  • Mad Farqi: Definition, How to Read, Examples, and Other Mad Reading Rules

    Mad Farqi – Muslims must understand that the holy book Al-Quran cannot be read carelessly. All the letters in the verses of the Al-Quran have actually been arranged in the Science of Tajwid, namely the science that teaches the skill of sounding or pronouncing the letters in the holy book of the Al-Quran properly and correctly. When studying Tajweed, you don’t just get smart right away, but it requires a process and a sincere intention.

    This Tajwid science has regulated several reading laws in the Al-Quran. Starting from the law of mim dead, reading idzhar, to reading mad. All of that, of course, must be understood as well as possible by Muslims as taught by Rasulullah SAW. In the mad reading law, the characteristic that accompanies it is the long sound of the hijaiyah letters, especially those with the vowel hathah meeting the dead alif. In the mad reading law, it also divides several mad readings, one of which is mad farqi. So, what is mad farqi reading? How to read verses of the Koran that contain mad farqi readings? What is the explanation about the law of reading mad in the holy book of the Koran? So, so that You understands these things, let’s look at the following review!

    What is Mad Farqi Reading?

    According to the language, the word “Mad” means ‘to lengthen’, more precisely, to ‘lengthen the sound when pronouncing the mad letters’. Meanwhile, the word “farqi” means ‘differentiator’. Another name for mad farqi is mad istifham alias mad question, because in the reading there will be the letter hamzah (ء) which means “what” as a question expression. The existence of this mad farqi is included in the branch of the Mad Far’i derivative which has 14 branches.

    That is, this mad farqi reading will be used to distinguish between which are interrogative sentences and which are not interrogative sentences. Readings that are read long (mad) are interrogative sentences, while those that are read short (not mad) are not interrogative sentences. Just a little trivia , this mad farqi reading occurs because it separates the Mad Badal law from the Mutsaqqal Kilmi Mad Typical law.

    So, since the reading of mad farqi has been arranged in such a way, it is not permissible to read it arbitrarily, especially in terms of length. For the law of reciting mad farqi, it is obligatory to recite it for six vowels or three alifs. That is, by lengthening the istifham hamzah by six vowels, then idghaming it with the next letter.

    How to Read Mad Farqi and Examples?

    As previously explained, to read mad farqi readings it is enough for six vowels (beats) or three alifs.

    For examples of mad farqi readings contained in the holy book of the Koran, there are actually only 3 surahs, namely Surah Al-An’am verses 143-144, Surah Yunus verse 59, and Surah An-Naml verse 59.

    Surah Al-An’am verse 143

    ( Tsamāniyata azwāj, minaḍ-ḍa`niṡnaini wa minal-ma’ziṡnaīn, qul āż-żakaraini ḥarrama amil-unṡayaini ammasytamalat ‘alaihi ar-ḥāmul-unṡayaīn, nabbi`ụnī bi’ilmin ing kuntum ṣādiqīn.)

    It means:

    “…There were eight cattle in pairs (four pairs); a pair of sheep and a pair of goats. Say, “What has Allah forbidden two males or two females or what is in the wombs of the two females? Explain to me based on knowledge if you are truthful.”

    Get to know Mad Reading Law

    Basically, Mad reading is one of the rules for reciting the Al-Quran which has been regulated in the Science of Tajweed. This Mad reading occurs by lengthening the hijaiyah letters because there is a meeting between the hijaiyah letters which have the vowel fathah ( ﹷ ) with dead alif; hijaiyah letters with the vowel dhammah ( ُ- ) with wau dies; and hijaiyah with the vowel kasrah ( ِ- ) which meets ya’ die.

    According to the language, the word “mad” means ‘additional’ or ‘long’. Meanwhile, according to the term, the tajwid scholars and qiraat experts have agreed that this Mad reading law will occur by lengthening the sound of the hijaiyah letters in the Al-Quran, but with the rules that apply. Therefore, there are 3 types of mad letters, namely:

    1. Alif ( ا ), before the letters Alif line fathah
    2. Wau (ﻭ), before wau march dhammah
    3. Ya (ﻱ ), before the letters Ya line up in dash

    Broadly speaking, this mad reading is divided into 2 namely Mad Thabi’i (original mad) and Mad Far’i (branch or derivative).

    Mad Reading Distribution

    1. Mad Thabi’i (Mad Original)

    That is mad reading which can stand alone because of the mad letter itself. This reading from Mad Thabi’i occurs when the hijaiyah letters are usually extended by one alif or two vowels. Not all hijaiyah letters can be read Mad Thabi’i, yes, there must be the following things:

    • If there is an Alif letter ( ا ) it is after the vowel fathah ( ﹷ ). Example: نا, ما, سا, وا, ح
    • If there is a Wau letter (ﻭ) it is after the vowel dhammah (ُ-). Example: سو, مو, نو, وو, حو
    • If there is a letter Yes (ﻱ ) it is after the vowel kasrah ( ِ- ). Example: مي, سي

    2. Mad Far’i (Branch or Derivative)

    The existence of Mad Far’i is a branch or derivative of Mad Thabi’i and has 14 branches. Mad Farqi is also included in this branch of Mad Far’i, right… Well, here’s an explanation.

    a) Mad Obligatory Muttashil

    Namely the mad reading that occurs when Mad Thabi’i meets the letter hamzah (ء) in one word or one sentence . The only way to read it is to extend it up to 4 or 5 vowels. Examples of Mad Obligatory Muttashil readings:

    b) Mad Jaiz Munfasil

    Namely the mad reading that occurs when Mad Thabi’i meets the letter hamza (ء) in two words . The way to read it is to extend it up to 4 or 5 vowels. Examples of reading Mad Jaiz Munfasil:

    c) Mad Layyin

    That is, the mad reading that occurs in the hijaiyah letters with the upper vowel (fathah and dhommah) meets the letters yes (ﻱ ) and wau (ﻭ) marked with breadfruit. Meanwhile, in front of it again there is one letter that is turned off because waqaf alias stops. In short, this Layyin reading occurs when there is an italic reading (lin) meets one letter which is turned off due to waqaf (stopping).

    What is italics , aka lin? Now, what is included in the italic reading (lin) is reading that has sounds like “Ai” (fathah meets the letter ya) and “Au” (fathah meets the letter wau).

    This Mad Layyin reading can be read by lengthening it by about 2, 4, up to 6 vowels. However, you have to be consistent in reading it until the end of the reading. Example reading:

    d) Mad Badal

    That is what happens when the letters hamza (ء) meet the letters mad. Usually, there will be 2 hamza letters (ء). The first hamzah (ء) letter will be a vowel, while the second hamza (ء) letter will be given death certificate, so that the second hamzah (ء) letter will be replaced with:

    • Letter Alif ( ا ), if the first hamza has vowel fathah.
    • Letter Wau (ﻭ), if the first hamzah has the vowel kasrah.
    • Letter Yes (ﻱ ), if the first hamzah has the vowel dhommah.

    If you have met, then it must be read in length as much as 2 vowels. Examples of reading Mad Badal:

    e) Mad Tamkin

    Namely, if there are 2 letters Ya (ﻱ), both those who have tasydid and those who have a blessing meet breadfruit. The reading must be 1 alif or 2 vowels long with the placement of the reading in the tasydid and Mad Thabi’i. Examples of reading Mad Tamkin:

    f) Mad Iwad

    That is, if there are hijaiyah letters with the vowel fathah tanwin, then it is read waqaf (stop) at the end of the sentence. The reading must be as long as 1 alif or 2 vowels. Examples of reading Mad Iwad:

    g) Mad Arid Lissukun

    That is what happens if there is a mad letter meeting with breadfruit which is caused by a waqaf (stopping) especially at the end of the verse. If it is not waqfed, it will become Mad Thabi’i. The length of the reading is around 2, 4, up to 6 vowels. There are three types of reading laws for Mad Arid Lissukun, namely:

    • Tul (long), about 3 alif or 6 vowels.
    • Tawassuth (medium), about 2 alif or 4 vowels.
    • Qasar (short), about 1 alif or 2 vowels.
    h) Mad Farqi

    As previously explained, mad farqi is reading that occurs because of a meeting between Mad Badal and letters that have tasydid. How to read it must be about 6 vowels long.

    i) Mad Silah Qasirah

    That is what happens if ha dhamir (pronoun) is between two letters that are vowel but not consonants. How to read it must be about 2 vowels long. Example of reading Mad Silah Qasirah:

    j) Mad Silah Tawilah

    That is what happens if ha dhamir (pronoun) meets the letter hamzah (ء) which is lined up and the letter before ha dhamir is also lined up. How to read it must also be about 4 to 5 vowels long. Examples of reading Mad Silah Tawilah:

    k) Mad Lazim Mutsaqqal Kalimi

    That is what happens if the original mad or Mad Thabi’i meets a letter that has tasydid in one word . This reading must be read in length of about 6 vowels. Example of reading Mad Lazim Mutsaqqal Kalimi:

    l) Mad Lazim Mukhaffaf Kalimi

    That is what happens if the letter mad meets letters that line up breadfruit in one word. There are only 2 examples of this reading in the Al-Quran, namely in Surah Yunus verses 51 and 91.

    m) Mad Lazim Mutsaqqal Harfi

    Namely, it is a mad reading that is found in certain letters only. Certain letters are usually at the beginning of the sura marked by (~). This reading must be read in length as much as 3 to 6 vowels. Certain letters are usually: ن, ق, ص, ع, ل, ي, ك, م.

    n) Mad Lazim Mukhaffaf Harfi

    It is a long reading at the beginning of the sura. Unlike the previous one, this one Mad reading has a standing fathah mark so it has to be read lightly along 1 alif or 2 vowels only. The letters included in Mad Lazim Mukhaffaf Harfi are:

    So, that’s a review of what the law of reading mad farqi is, along with how to read it and examples of reading it contained in the holy book of the Koran. Has You read Mad’s reading correctly?

  • Macroeconomics: Definition, Purpose, Scope, Policy & Application in Indonesia

    Understanding Macroeconomics – Economics is a science that has developed since ancient civilizations. Starting from the simplest form, economics has developed to become more complex and structured as it is today.

    Discussing economics will not be enough of our time. This is because this science has a very broad scope and its development is quite fast. One type of study in the world of economics that is popularly discussed is Macroeconomics . What’s that? Let ‘s get to know each other further!

    A. Definition of Economics

    Before discussing Macroeconomics, we need to first equate perceptions of what economics is. The Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI) has two definitions in this regard. The first definition, economics is the science of the production, distribution, and consumption of goods, as well as various issues related to it, such as labor, financing, and finance.

    While the second definition of economics in the KBBI is the science of human social activities in meeting the necessities of life obtained from their environment. Sinaumed’s can learn everything about economics in the Introduction to Economics book below.

     

    B. Branch of Economics: Micro and Macro Economics

    The two main branches of economics are Macroeconomics (Macroeconomics) and Microeconomics (Microeconomics). As reflected in their names, these two economic theories are contradictory in content. In short, Macroeconomics focuses its study on the economy as a whole and total. Meanwhile, microeconomics is a study that examines individual economic units.

    The differentiation between the two economic theories is also based on how economists emphasize the theme of their discussion. The emphasis of adherents of Macroeconomic Theory is on the behavior of economic agents as a whole (aggregate). The book Macroeconomic Theory by Telisa Aulia Falianty will be the right choice for Sinaumed’s to learn more about macroeconomic theory.

    Meanwhile those who adhere to Microeconomic Theory emphasize their analysis on individual or individual behavior. For example, how is the behavior of companies as producers, as well as consumers and workers in a limited context (industry) as described in the book Theory of Microeconomics Edition 3 by Muh Abdul Halim.

    Another difference between the two economic theories is the assumptions used. Microeconomic Theory—which is often also referred to as Classical Economic Theory—assuming that the market structure is a form of perfect competition, the information is perfect and symmetrical, there are similarities (homogeneous) in input and output , and economic actors are rational and aim to maximize profit.

    This theory also conveys the assumption that adjustments through market mechanisms can be achieved instantly, and money only has a function as a transaction tool. Thus, according to adherents of the Classical Economic Theory, economic problems are only on the supply side. Adam Smith is a popular economic figure as the motor of this Microeconomic Theory.

    The momentum of the Great Depression that occurred in the period 1929-1933 became a milestone for the rise of Macroeconomic Theory. This theory was born as a criticism of Smith’s Classical Economic Theory. This Macroeconomic Theory was pioneered by John Maynard Keynes, because of that the followers of this theory are then called Keynesians.

    Contrary to the assumptions of the proponents of Microeconomic Theory, the Keynesians assume that the market structure has a monopolistic tendency with asymmetrical and imperfect information. The inputs and outputs used as exchanges also vary (heterogeneous). Keynesian also assumes that money is not only seen as a transaction tool.

    However, money can also be used as a store of value. Thus, money is very likely to be used to gain profit through speculative actions. From the series of assumptions above, those who agree on Macroeconomics are of the view that the government’s role is needed in managing the economy through monetary and fiscal policies.

    C. Definition of Macroeconomics

    For this reason, Macroeconomics is often used as an instrument for analyzing and designing a series of policy targets related to inflation, employment, economic growth, and a sustainable balance of payments.

    This economic study can also be used to analyze producers as a whole. Consumers are also not left behind, Macroeconomics analyzes them in the context of how to allocate income to buy goods and use services. To study macroeconomics, Sinaumed’s can start through the book Macroeconomics: An Introduction by Karhi Nisjar which explains the important foundations of this science.

     

    D. Macroeconomic Objectives

    There are several types of macroeconomic goals and they affect a country’s economy. Each of these goals is aimed at solving problems that arise in a country. The following are some of the objectives of implementing Macroeconomic policies:

    1. Creating Jobs

    The policies produced in Macroeconomics aim to regulate job creation. Thus, the state is able to minimize unemployment. This is because high unemployment will have a negative impact on a country. The high unemployment rate will ultimately only be a burden to the country’s economy.

    2. Making High Domestic Production

    Much or little production capacity in a country depends on the high or low amount of investment coming into the country. While investment depends on the level of domestic savings.

    Then, domestic saving depends on people’s income and interest rates. Therefore, in order to increase production capacity in a country, it can be done by increasing people’s income. The method? Community productivity is increased.

    3. Creating Stable Economic Conditions

    Economic stability in a country includes stability in prices of goods, employment, and people’s income levels. The implementation of Macroeconomic policies aims to stabilize prices of goods and employment. In the end, this condition will have a good impact on a country.

     4. Make Balance of Payments Balanced

    It is a necessity that every country must conduct trade transactions with other countries. This practice can also ultimately have an impact on the country’s economic conditions, so the balance of payments must be balanced. Several components of the balance of payments that are important to know are monetary traffic, the current account, and the trade balance.

     5. Making Resident Income Equal

    Equal distribution of population income can occur with equal distribution of processed natural and human resources. Equal distribution of income is expected to be able to increase the level of consumption or people’s purchasing power. Thus, a balanced and peaceful life without riots can be realized.

    E. Scope of Macroeconomics

    1. Determination of the Level of State Economic Activity

    The ability of a country to produce goods and services is described in Macroeconomics. Thus this scope also has a number of expenditure items, namely:

    1. Company expenses (investment)
    2. government spending
    3. Export and import
    4. Household expenditure for consumption

     2. Government Policy

    The problems of inflation and unemployment are inseparable from a country’s economy. The government has also made various efforts to overcome it, both through fiscal and monetary policy instruments. Fiscal policy is a set of steps taken by the government to change the amount and structure of taxes.

    The goal is to influence the economic activities of the state and society. Meanwhile, monetary policy is a set of policies implemented by the government to influence how much money is circulating among the people in the economic corridor.

    3. Aggregate Expenditures

    Aggregate spending means overall spending. If this expenditure cannot reach the ideal level, the result is a problem in the economy. The realization of employment opportunities is able to monitor the rate of inflation. Therefore, ideally aggregate expenditure can be at the required level.

    F. Policy in Macroeconomics

    In studying policies in macroeconomics such as fiscal and monetary policies, Sinaumed’s can obtain information through the book Macroeconomics: An Introduction to Management by Detri Karya.

    Macroeconomic Studies examine matters relating to inflation and deflation, the unemployment rate, and the availability of jobs. In practice, Macroeconomics has the following policies:

     1. Fiscal Policy

    Income and expenditure of a country is regulated in this policy. State income or income can be obtained from taxes paid by every citizen. Apart from that, other state revenue coffers come from non-tax, such as auctions, fines, gifts from other countries, and gratuities.

     2. Monetary Policy

    This policy is the difference between Macro and Micro Economics. Monetary policy serves to measure how much funds have been issued by the central bank in a country. The more money circulation that occurs, the more it will affect the inflation rate.

    In the end it will increase the price of a product. Conversely, if the velocity of money is small, the price of a product is cheaper. This is what is called deflation. Monetary policy has an important role in people’s lives, namely to maintain the pace of economic growth in a country. Such are the benefits of studying economics, namely in order to understand its application in our daily activities.

     3. Supply Side Policy

    The function of this policy is to balance the balance sheet in a company or country. It is natural that currently the average company needs an expert in economics. With this knowledge, it is hoped that all financial management processes, especially those related to production, can be reduced to a minimum.

    In addition, product quality can also be balanced. Thus the resulting product will be of higher quality. In the Indonesian context, Macroeconomics is a system for analyzing economic changes in the country that have the potential to affect companies, society and markets.

    From Macroeconomics we can also get an explanation of changes in economic conditions in Indonesia, in order to get the best analysis results.

    G. Objectives of Macroeconomics

    Indonesia also has its own goals in implementing macroeconomic policies in the country. According to the Ministry of Finance, the goals of Macroeconomics in Indonesia are as follows:

    1. Increase national income

    By knowing the amount of Indonesia’s national income, it can measure economic growth more clearly. Economic policies taken can also be more effective and efficient.

    2. Increase production capacity

    Increasing national production capacity will be able to increase Indonesia’s economic development. One way to increase production capacity is to improve the situation for investment. Thus, incoming investment can affect national productivity.

    3. Create jobs

    The existence of job opportunities due to increased national productivity will in turn be able to increase production capacity. This is where the role of macroeconomic policy in Indonesia is to attract investors to want to invest their capital. Thus, new jobs are created.

    4. Control inflation

    One of the causes of inflation is due to too much demand for a commodity. As a result, commodity prices soared. Through Macroeconomics, Indonesia is able to carry out cash ratio policies, open market politics , and discount politics. The goal is one, to stop the rate of inflation in the country.

    5. Creating economic stability

    Macroeconomic analysis in Indonesia can be used to maintain the country’s economic stability. This stable condition is important. Why? So that economic actors abroad can trust Indonesia so that later they want to invest in this country.

    Indonesia’s economic stability can only be achieved if the two macroeconomic variables run in balance. The two variables are the balance of payments and the level of demand for inventory.

    6. Make the foreign balance of payments in a balanced position

    Analysis of Indonesia’s Macroeconomics needs to be carried out with the aim of seeking balance in the foreign balance of payments. The balance of payments itself contains a summary of various transactions, such as sales and purchases of goods and services, grants from abroad, as well as financial transactions between residents at home and abroad.

    The foreign balance of payments must be in a balanced position to avoid a deficit. In learning more deeply about macroeconomic objectives, both from individual aspects to overall activities in the economy, the book Microeconomics An Introduction is the right choice.

     

    Macroeconomic Problems in Indonesia

    Macroeconomics also has an influence on Indonesia’s business climate. This has become a certainty, because the rule that applies is that the magnitude of economic changes can have an impact on society as well as companies and their markets.

    Macroeconomics also has a close relationship with state financial issues. This is because this concept is capable of influencing price stability, achieving balance, employment, and economic growth. However, in the business context in Indonesia, there are several macroeconomic problems that often arise.

    First, there are problems with banking and bad credit. Second, there is a domestic exchange rate crisis against Indonesia’s foreign debt. The third is the issue of unemployment and poverty. Finally, the macroeconomic problem that often arises in the business context is the question of economic growth itself.

    In the span of the history of law enforcement in Indonesia, many questions arise about non-legal losses such as abandoned assets turning into old machines, thousands of employees being laid off and other things if a crime occurs. Therefore, the book Microeconomic Analysis of Indonesian Criminal Law is here to answer this question.

     

    Conclusion

    In closing this review we need to know how important it is to know and learn about Macroeconomics. Because the focus of the study of this branch of economics is the economy as a whole, so by studying it we can know the macroeconomic aspects both at the state level and the people around us.

    For example, we can understand what are the elements used by the government to determine various policies in the Indonesian economy. In this way, we can participate in analyzing where the policy is headed and can be prepared to adapt.

    Then, we can appreciate products that come from natural resources more. Knowing the strategic role of natural resources in a country’s economy—in the macroeconomic corridor—allows us to be frugal in using processed products.

    Next, by understanding the study of Macroeconomics, we can know about the free market and how the government’s policy towards it. In this way, we can be more vigilant when participating in markets that cross continents and country boundaries.

    Finally, by learning about Macroeconomics we can be more aware of the phenomena of marginalized communities and poverty. With that we can take an active role in alleviating their problems with strategic and systematic steps.

    Thus a complete review of Macroeconomics and how it is applied in Indonesia. It should be remembered that the strength of the domestic economy is supported by various types of commodities, both originating from industry, natural resources, and so on. Well-managed domestic resources will play a significant role in our economic development.

    Teacher History

    Sinaumed’s, National Teacher’s Day which is celebrated every November 25 has a long history because it is closely related to the birthday of the Indonesian Teachers Association (PGRI) on November 25, 1945.

    In 1912, native teachers during the Dutch era founded a fighting organization called the Dutch East Indies Teachers Association (PGHB). PGHB’s own members are assistant teachers, village teachers, school principals and school inspectors. In general, they served in the Village School and the Number Two People’s School.

    The main goal of this organization is to fight for the fate of its members, who of course, have different social status and educational background. This struggle is certainly not easy. Over time, new teacher organizations were born, such as the Auxiliary Teachers’ Association (PGB), Village Teachers’ Association (PGD), Ambachtsschool Teachers’ Association (PGAS), Normalschool Association (PNS), Hogere Kweekschool Bond (HKSB).

    In addition, there are teacher organizations with a religious, national or other pattern, such as Christelijk Onderwijs Vereniging (COV), Katholieke Onderwijs Bond (KOB), Vereniging Van Mulo Leerkrachten (VVM), and Nederlands Indische Onderwijs Genootschap (NIOG) whose members are all teachers without differentiate between religious groups.

    At that time, teachers in the ranks of the natives were well aware that they had to fight for equal rights and positions with teachers from the Dutch side. This step was successful, the HIS head, which had always been given to the Dutch, was now allowed to be held by native teachers.

    In 1932, native teachers were determined to change the name of the Dutch East Indies Teachers’ Association (PGHB) to Indonesian Teachers’ Association (PGI), which of course surprised the Dutch because they did not like the word “Indonesia”. Because, considered to reflect the spirit of nationalism.

    In fact, the organization was at its lowest point during the Japanese occupation when it banned all organizations, closed schools which made the Indonesian Teachers’ Association (PGI) unable to carry out its activities anymore. However, on 24-25 November 1945, they held the Indonesian Teachers’ Congress in Surakarta. In that congress, they agreed to erase all differences in graduation, work environment, regional environment, politics, religion and ethnicity.

    Apart from that, the congress also agreed to establish the Association of Indonesian Teachers (PGRI) on November 25, 1945. In fact, through Presidential Decree No. 78 of 1994, the Indonesian government implemented and commemorated National Teacher’s Day on November 25 every year.

    Lyrics of the Teacher’s Hymn

    Blessed be
    O you, mother and father, teacher.
    Your name will always live
    in my soul

    I will engrave all your devotion
    in my heart
    as an inscription of my gratitude
    for your dedication

    Praise be to you, ladies and gentlemen,
    your name will always live in my heart,
    I will engrave all your dedication in my heart
    as an inscription of my gratitude

    For your service
    You are like a lamp in the darkness
    You are like a cooling dew in thirst
    You are an unsung national hero

    History of the Teacher’s Hymn

    In the 1980s, Sartono composed the song “Teacher Hymn: Unsung Heroes” as an effort to appreciate teachers because they were considered to have contributed greatly to education in Indonesia. As reported by the book  Collection of National Compulsory Songs, Traditional & Popular Children (2017) by Hani Widiatmoko, Dicky Maulana, Sartono is a former music teacher at a private foundation school in Madiun City, East Java.

    The man who was born in Madiun, May 29, 1936, studied music on his own without having had any education in music. However, in 1978, he was the only music teacher in the Madiun area who could read musical notes. Due to the limitations of musical instruments at that time, the Hymn Guru song was created by whistling while writing the notes down on paper.

    The Teacher Hymn song is generally played when commemorating National Teacher’s Day on November 25, which is also the birth of the Indonesian Teachers’ Association (PGRI) on November 25, 1945.

    Before becoming PGRI, native teachers during the Dutch era founded a fighting organization called the Dutch East Indies Teachers Association (PGHB). The members of PGHB are assistant teachers, village teachers, school principals, and school owners. In general, they work in village schools and public schools. The main objective of this organization is to fight for the fate of its members who have different social status and educational background.

    In 1932, native teachers changed the name PGHB to the Association of Indonesian Teachers (PGI), which shocked the Dutch. Not only that, PGI was also inactive because Japan banned the activities of various organizations in Indonesia and closed schools. In the end, on 24-25 November 1945 the teachers held the Indonesian Teachers’ Congress in Surakarta, which was marked by the formation of the Indonesian Teachers Association (PGRI).

    In this congress, PGRI members agreed to erase all differences in graduation, work environment, regional environment, politics, religion and ethnicity. National Teacher’s Day was decided in 1994 with the writing of a presidential decree, namely Presidential Decree No. 78 of 1994 and also written in Law no. 14 of 2005 concerning teachers and lecturers which stipulates that November 25 is National Teacher’s Day which is celebrated at the same time as PGRI’s birthday.

    This song was composed by Sartono in the 1980s. Sartono himself is a former music teacher at a private foundation in Madiun City, East Java. Actually, Sartono himself never studied music formally, but he was the only music teacher who could read musical notes in his area. Due to the limitations of musical instruments at that time, the song Hymn Guru Sartono was composed by whistling while writing the notes down on paper.

    Even though his income from his job as a teacher was meager, his passion for music made Sartono create several songs. Coinciding with the momentum of National Education Day in 1980, Sartono took part in a competition to compose songs about education. Of the hundreds of participants, the song “Teacher’s Hymn, Unsung Hero” was the winner. Apart from getting some money as the winner, Sartono along with a number of other model teachers throughout Indonesia were sent to Japan for a comparative study.

    The Meaning of the Teacher’s Hymn

    The song “Teacher’s Hymn” describes the important role of the teacher in educating and educating the nation’s children. In this song there are lyrics such as “You are a lamp in the dark, you are like cooling dew in thirst, you are a patriot, a national hero, unsung”. The lyrics describe a teacher as a light for his students who are thirsty for knowledge and full of ignorance. It is the teacher who delivers, directs, and gives views until we know where we are going to continue our journey.

    The lyrics “Praise be to you, ladies and gentlemen teachers” can be interpreted as a teacher not only as an introduction to knowledge, but as an educator for his students, so that they can anchor themselves as moral individuals. In addition, this song also remembers what our teachers have remembered in helping us take steps, as in the lyrics “Your name will always live in my heart.” The advice they have given is able to guide us in reaching the pieces of the dream we have.

    Even though we have been far apart from our teachers, they will always live in our hearts. In the end, the teacher’s services cannot be measured, as in the lyrics “I will engrave all your dedication in my heart, as an inscription of my gratitude for your service.” This is because the teacher is a form of national hero who does not take up weapons or join wars, but imparts knowledge to his students. That way, teachers are also said to be “unsung heroes.”

    Being a teacher is certainly not easy. We not only prepare knowledge, but we must also prepare mentally and sincerely to teach. If Sinaumed’s is interested in becoming a teacher. Make sure Sinaumed’s has read a lot of books in addition to the information available at sinaumedia.com .

    About the Peasant Labor Song

    The song, entitled Farmer Laborer, was composed in 1996 by Safi’i Kemamang, a figure from the People’s Democratic Party (PRD) in East Java, which moved underground. This song was created to encourage those who were struggling in the New Order regime.

    According to Safi’i, the Farmer’s song can also become a song of unity between workers, farmers, students, and the urban poor in their efforts to fight against the New Order. This is because they are the people who feel the most bitterness from all the policies of the New Order.

    This song is also often known as a song with the title “Liberation”. Later, the song Buruh Tani was popularized again by the punk group Marginal. Marginal is an indie band with a punk wing.

    This song has even more fighting spirit when there was a large-scale demonstration on October 6, 2020. The agenda for the demonstration is to reject the Job Creation Law or the Omnibus Law . The Farmer’s Song was sung together by the masses present at the action and fired up the enthusiasm of the thousands of demonstrators.

    The demonstration demanding the Job Creation Law or the Omnibus Law took place in an orderly manner, not as chaotic as usual demonstrations. Accompanied by loudspeakers from the command car, the demonstration participants sang the Peasant Workers ‘ song together.

    Seeing from the lyrics of the song, it has an indirect meaning regarding the hopes of workers, farmers, students, to the urban poor who want a democratic system in Indonesia. For some students, this song actually became an encouragement in their efforts to fight against government policies that were detrimental to people’s rights.

    Marginal Band Brief Biography

    The Marginal band is a punk indie band that started its career in 1997. This band consists of Romi Jahat as vocalist , Mike as guitarist , Bob as bassist and Steven as drummer .

    This music group is trying to convey a message of rejection and hope in everyday life, especially to government policies. The figure of Marsinah is an inspirational figure from the formation of this Marginal music group, as well as their 3rd album entitled “Marsinah” accompanied by a cover of Marsinah’s face in black and white format.

    The songs sung by this band indirectly convey a message about how the people are suffering because of government policies.

    Short Biography of Safi’i Kemamang

    Safi’i Kemamang is a man who was born on June 5, 1976 in Lamongan, East Java. He is the creator of the song Buruh Tani which he actually titled Liberation .

    The song, which is well known to the public under the title Buruh Tani, was composed when Safi’i joined the People’s Democratic Party (PRD) in the East Java region and was still moving underground.

    During this period, during the New Order era, there were many large-scale democratic actions by the people. Safi’i thought about what to do to unite the people. Therefore, a song called Peasant Labor or Liberation was created to unite workers, farmers, students, and the poor in fighting the New Order regime.

    So, those are the lyrics and chords of the Buruh Tani song along with important things related to the song. Has You ever sung the Buruh Tani song ?

  • Lorentz Force: Definition, Formulas, and Example Problems

    The Lorentz force was discovered by Herdik Anton Lorentz in 1853-1928. He is a scientist from the Netherlands who greatly contributed in the field of physics. The Lorentz force is actually a combination of electric and magnetic forces in an electromagnetic field.

    The Lorentz force can arise due to the presence of an electric charge in a magnetic field. The Lorentz force has magnitude and also has direction. The direction of the Lorentz force uses the right-hand rule and is always perpendicular to the direction of the existing electric current and magnetic induction.

    Biographies Hendrik Antoon Lorentz

    Henry Anthony Lorentz.

    The Lorentz force was discovered by Hendrik Anton Lorentz (1853-1928). He was a Dutch physicist who won the Nobel Prize for Physics together with Pieter Zeeman in 1902. He was born in Arnhem, Netherlands on July 18, 1853. As an adult, he studied at Leiden University.

    Subsequently, at the age of 19 he returned to Arnhem and taught at one of the secondary schools there. While teaching, he prepared a doctoral thesis which expanded on James Clerk Maxwell’s theory of the electromagnet, which included details of the reflection and refraction of light.

    In 1878, he became professor of theoretical physics at Leyden which was his first place of work. He lived there for 34 years, then moved to Haarlem. Lorentz continued his work to simplify Maxwell’s theory and introduce the idea that electromagnetic fields are generated by electric charges at the atomic level. He proposed that the emission of light by atoms and various optical phenomena could be traced to the motion and energy interactions of atoms.

    In 1896, one of his students named Pieter Zeeman found that the spectral lines of atoms in a magnetic field split into several components with slightly different frequencies. This justified Lorentz’s work, for which they were both awarded the Nobel Prize in 1902.

    In 1895, Lorentz devised a set of equations which transformed the electromagnetic quantity from one reference frame to another, moving relative to the first, although the importance of these discoveries was realized only 10 years later when Albert Einstein proposed his special theory of relativity.

    Lorentz (and the Irish physicist GF Fitzgerald independently) proposed that the negative result of the Michelson-Morley experiment could be understood if the length in the direction of motion relative to the observer contracts. Subsequent experiments showed that although there was shrinkage, it was not due to any apparent cause in the results of Michelson and Edward Morley. The reason for this is that there is no “ether” that acts as a universal frame of reference.

    Definition of Lorentz force

    What is the Lorentz force? The Lorentz force is a force that comes from a combination of two forces. The two forces are the magnetic force and the electric force present in an electromagnetic field. This force comes from an electric charge that can move if an electric current is present in a magnetic field B. The presence of an electric force cannot be separated from an inventor.

    The person who is credited with discovering this force is Hendrik Antoon Lorentz from 1853 to 1928. He is a physicist from the Netherlands and has won the Nobel Prize in Physics together with a man named Pieter Zeeman in 1902.

    The name Hendrik Antoon Lorentz was later immortalized as a style he discovered and people know this style as the Lorentz style until now. From this style, electric motors are also found which function to drive tools such as blenders, fans, machines, washing machines, and so on.

    Lorentz force formula

    When there is a wire that is energized by an electric current of I and the wire is placed in the middle of a magnetic field, then a magnetic force will arise on the wire. By combining the magnetic force with the electric current, we can calculate how much force is on the wire, so the following formula appears:

    Lorentz  = BI l sin α

    Information:
    Florentz = Lorenz force B = strong magnetic field current (Tesla) I = strong current flowing in the wire (amperes) I = length of wire (m) α = angle formed from B and I

    Determining the Direction of the Lorentz Force

    1. Lorentz force on a current-carrying wire

    If the direction of the electric current is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field, the maximum magnetic force will occur (sin 90º = 1). In other words, so that the magnetic force can be maximally formed, the magnetic field must be conditioned perpendicular to the flowing electric current.

    Meanwhile, determining the direction of the Lorentz force can be through the hand rule as shown below:

    For the first Lorentz style right hand rule using three fingers, namely:

    • Thumb = direction of electric current (I).
    • Index finger = magnetic field direction (B).
    • Middle finger = the direction of the Lorentz force (F).

    For the second hand rule, use the open palm of the right hand and it is easier to use, especially if the angle is α≠90º, namely:

    • Thumb = direction of electric current (I).
    • The other four fingers = the direction of the magnetic field (B).
    • Palm = direction of Lorentz force (F).

    It should be noted that the magnitude of the angle α does not affect the direction of the magnetic force. This is because the direction of the force is perpendicular to the direction of the electric current and magnetic field.

    2. Lorentz Forces in Parallel Wires Carrying Electric Current

    When there are two wires that have a length of I and then carry an electric current of I and the two wires are placed in a magnetic field of magnitude B, a magnetic force will occur. The electric force that occurs is both attractive and repulsive depending on the direction of the electric current coming from each wire.

    When the two wires have the same current direction or the same direction, there will be an attractive force. Conversely, when the two wires have opposite current directions, a repulsive or opposing force will arise.

    Regarding the magnitude of the attractive and opposing or repulsive forces on the two wires, you can use the formula:

    Description:
    1 = attractive or repulsive force on wire 1 (newtons).
    2 = force of attraction or repulsion in wire 2 (newtons).
    1 = strong current flowing at current 1 (amperes).
    2 = strong current flowing at current 2 (amperes).
    µ 0 = vacuum permeability.
    I = wire length (meters).
    α = distance between the two wires (meters).

    3. Lorentz Force of Charge Moving in a Magnetic Field

    When there is an electric charge q moving with speed v in a magnetic field B, a magnetic force will occur and it can be calculated by the formula:

    Lorentz = qvB x sin α

    Note:
    q = electric charge (coloumb).
    v = speed of movement (m/s).
    B = magnetic field (tesla).
    α = angle formed by B and v.

    For the direction of the Lorentz force, this one is perpendicular to the direction in the magnetic field and the direction of the object’s velocity. The direction of this force will depend on the charge of the particle. Look at the picture below, according to the right-hand rule, if charge q has a positive value, then the direction of v will be parallel to I. Meanwhile, if charge q is negative, v will be opposite to I.

    Then if the direction in the magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the velocity of the electrically charged particles, it causes a circular path, so that the particles will experience a centripetal force that is equal in magnitude to the magnetic force.

    FLorentz = Fsentripetal

    qvB = mv2 / R

    That way, we can find the radius of the particle’s circular path using the formula:

    R = mv/qvB

    Factors Affecting the Lorentz Force

    You need to know that there are several factors that affect the electric force, including:

    • Large electric current (I).
    • Magnetic field strength (B).
    • The length of the conveyor (I).

    Application in Everyday Life

    Information that is no less important is what are the benefits that we will get from applying the Lorentz force? One of the most pronounced benefits of applying this style is the electric motor. By flowing electricity into a coil in a magnetic field, a magnetic force can be generated in the form of the rotation of an electric motor used to drive the shaft, so that it can be used for various needs.

    Apart from electric motors, we can also see the application of the Lorentz force in linear motors, railguns, electric generators, loudspeakers, linear alternatives, and many others.

    Applications of the Lorentz force include the following:

    • Lorentz force velocimetry (LFV) is a non-contact electromagnetic flow measurement technique. Lorentz force velocimetry is well suited for velocity measurements of molten metals (such as steel or aluminum) and is currently being developed for metallurgical applications.
    • An electric motor is a device for converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. Electric motors are classified into two types, namely AC (alternating current) electric motors and DC (direct current) electric motors. Electric motors can be found in household appliances such as fans, washing machines, refrigerators, hair dryers and water pumps.
    • Pendorong magnetoplasmadynamic.
    • Electric generator.

    Example Questions and Discussion

    The Lorentz force is a force that arises due to the presence of an electric current (moving electric charge) in a magnetic field. For the direction of the Lorentz service, it is always perpendicular to the direction of the electric current (I) and the existing magnetic induction (B).

    Before heading to the example of the Lorentz force problem, you must go back to studying the following formulas.

    Lorentz Force Formula of a Wire Moving in a Magnetic Field :

     

    Information:

    • l = wire length (m).
    • I = strong current flowing in the wire (amperes).
    • B = magnetic field strength (tesla).
    • α = angle formed by B and I.

    The Lorentz Force Formula for Electric Charges Moving in a Magnetic Field:

    Information:

    • q = electric charge (coloumb).
    • v = speed of movement of electric charge (m/s).
    • B = magnetic field strength (tesla).
    • α = angle formed by B and v.

    Lorentz force formula for two parallel current-carrying wires:

    Information:

    • 1 = pull-attract or push-push force on wire 1 (newton).
    • 2 = pull-attract or push-push force in wire 2 (newton).
    • 1 = strong current flowing in wire 1 (amperes).
    • 2 = strong current flowing in wire 2 (amperes).
    • µ 0  is the vacuum permeability 
    • l = wire length (m).
    • α = distance between the two wires (m).

    Example Question 1

    Look at the following picture!

    If an electric current I flows through wire AB, the direction of the magnetic force experienced by wire AB is…
    A. to the
    left B. to the
    left C. to the right
    D. perpendicular to the plane of the paper
    E. perpendicular to the outside of the paper

    Discussion:
    Using the right hand rule, the current strength is indicated as the thumb, so the forefinger (magnetic field) will go out of the plane and based on the nature of the Lorentz force it will be perpendicular.

    Answer: E. perpendicular to the surface of the paper.

    Example Problem 2

    A straight, current-carrying wire pointing east is placed in a magnetic field pointing north. In the conductor there will be a Lorentz force whose direction is ….
    A. Northeast
    B. Below
    C. Up
    D. West
    E. South

    Discussion:
    To determine the direction of the Lorentz force we can use the right hand rule as follows.

    Answer: D. West (perpendicular to B and I).

    Example Problem 3

    A wire with a length of 1 m has an electric current of 10 A. If the wire is placed in a 0.01 T magnetic field whose direction forms an angle of 30° to the direction of the current, the magnetic force experienced by the wire is … A. 0.05 N B.
    0.5
    N
    C. 2 N
    D. 4 N
    E. 8 N

    Discussion:
    It is known:
    L = 1 m
    I = 10 AB
    = 0.01 T
    α = 30°

    Dimensions: F = ?
    Answer:
    F = B . HE . L sin α
    F = 0.01 T 10 A 1 m without 30°
    F = 0.05 N

    So, the magnetic force experienced by the wire is 0.05 N.

    Example Problem 4

    A straight wire with a current of 4 A is in a 1 T magnetic field that is perpendicular to the current. If the Lorentz force acting on the wire is 4 N, then the length of the wire is…

    Discussion:
    It is known:
    L = 2 m
    I = 20 AB
    = 0.02 T
    α = 30

    Asked: F?
    Answer:
    F = BILsin30
    F = 0.02.20.2.sin30
    F = 0.4 N

    So, the Lorentz force on the wire is 0.4 newtons.

    Example Problem 5

    An electron moving with a speed of 6000 m/s enters a magnetic field of 2000 T. If the direction of the velocity and the magnetic field forms an angle of 30 degrees, then the Lorentz force experienced by the electron is….

    Discussion:
    Given:
    q = -1.6×10 -19  C (electron charge)
    v = 6000 m/s
    B = 2000 T
    α = 30 degrees

    Asked: F?
    Answer:
    F = qvBsin30
    F = 1.6×10 -19 .6000.2000.1/2
    F = 9.6 x 10 -13  N

    So, the Lorentz force experienced by the electron is 9.6 x 10 -13  Newton.

     

    Example Problem 7

    A wire that is 500 cm long is in a magnetic field of strength 20 T. If the electric current flowing in the wire is 2 A, then what is the Lorentz force acting on the wire?

    Discussion:
    Known:
    L = 500 cm = 0.5 m
    B = 20 T
    I = 2 A

    Asked: How much Lorentz force does work on the wire?

    Jawab:
    F = BIL
    = 20 T(2 A)(5 m)
    = 200 N

    The Lorentz force acting on the wire is 200 N.

    Example Problem 8

    A wire carrying an electric current of 20 A with an upward direction is in a magnetic field of 0.5 T by forming an angle of 30 o to the wire. If the length of the wire is 20 meters, how much Lorentz force will the wire experience?

     

     

    Closing

    Lorentz force materials are notoriously complicated materials, but they are actually quite easy to solve. The main concept is that you have to understand the direction of the variables that work, such as the direction of the electric current, the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the Lorentz force itself.

     

     

  • Lordosis Is: Definition, Causes, And The Difference With Kyphosis and Scoliosis

    Lordosis is – The human body is a series of other parts that unite with each other in such a way. These parts have their own functions, such as the eyes to see, the heart to pump blood, the lungs to breathe, or the backbone to maintain body structure.

    Yes, the human spine is deliberately designed with a slightly curved shape in the upper, lower back and neck so that it can function optimally. Namely to keep the head and pelvis aligned, support the head area, maintain body structure, and make it easier for us to move or bend.

    If this shape changes for one reason or another, the function of the spine will be disrupted and we will feel certain symptoms depending on the change in the shape of the spine.

    One of the spinal disorders is lordosis. This is a disorder that occurs when the spine in the lower back bends too much forward. In this article we will discuss further about lordosis. Listen carefully, okay!

    Meaning of Lordosis

    In short, lordosis is a spinal disorder that occurs when the lower part of the spine is too curved inward. This condition is also known as swayback. 

    This excessive curvature can make the abdominal area protrude forward because it is pushed by the lower spine which is curved too inward. In addition, the hip area also protrudes slightly up and back.

    The difference between Lordosis, Kyphosis and Scoliosis

    Apart from lordosis, there are other spinal disorders that are often discussed, namely kyphosis and scoliosis. What’s the difference between the three? The main difference lies in the position of the bending of the bones.

    If the spine bends forward, it is called lordosis. Meanwhile, if it bends backwards, it is called kyphosis. And if it bends to the left or right, it is called scoliosis.

    Find other bone diseases that you shouldn’t underestimate in the book Bone Disease Not Only Osteoporosis: Recognize & Prevent 45 Bone Diseases from AZ compiled by Prieharti and Dr. Yekti Mumpuni.

    There are 45 types of bone disease discussed in this 184-page book. The writing style and use of simple language make this book easy to understand, even for ordinary readers.

    Causes of Lordosis

    Generally, doctors cannot know exactly what causes a patient to have lordosis. However, in some cases, lordosis can occur due to:

    1. Obesity

    Obesity or being overweight has the potential to affect posture and put excessive pressure on the spine. Therefore, obese people are more at risk of experiencing lordosis.

    2. Osteoporosis

    Osteoporosis can cause the lower spine to become porous and bend more easily when you’re carrying your weight. Usually lordosis due to osteoporosis is experienced by people who are elderly.

    3. Pregnancy

    Like obesity, pregnancy can also affect body posture. Including making the lower spine too curved inward. Even so, lordosis caused by pregnancy will heal by itself after the baby is born.

    4. Spondylolisthesis

    Spondylolisthesis is a condition where the spine is misaligned because it shifts from its place. This condition has the potential to cause the lower spine to curve inward more easily.

    5. Bad posture

    Poor posture when sitting or lifting weights can also increase the risk of developing lordosis.

    6. Injury, accident, or fall

    Lordosis can also be caused by sports injuries, accidents or falls from high places. Usually lordosis occurs due to a broken spine.

    7. Neuromuscular disorders

    Neuromuscular disorders or impaired nerve and muscle function can also cause lordosis. For example, such as muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, or something else.

    8. Achondroplasia

    The last cause is Achondroplasia or impaired bone growth so that the sufferer looks stunted and his body is disproportionate.

    Types of lordosis

    Health experts divide lordosis into five types, namely postural lordosis, congenital lordosis, neuromuscular lordosis, and postoperative hyperlordosis laminectomy. Here’s a brief explanation for each type so you understand again:

    1. Postural lordosis

    Postural lordosis is a spinal deformity that often results from being overweight, especially if the abdominal and lumbar areas are more forward. In addition, it can also occur when the back muscles and abdominal muscles are weak so they are unable to properly support the spine.

    2. Congenital lordosis or trauma

    Congenital lordosis is a condition when the spine of the fetus in the womb develops imperfectly. In the end, his spine became deformed and weak enough to bend excessively.

    Not only disabled since infancy, lordosis can also be triggered by injuries during sports, accidents, or falls from high places.

    3. Neuromuscular lordosis

    This is a type of bone disorder caused by impaired muscle function in the body. For example, such as cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy.

    4. Lordosis secondary to hip flexion contracture

    This type of lordosis is generally caused by permanent shortening of the joints and muscles in the hip joint (contractures). This can happen due to injury, infection, or disturbed muscle balance.

    5. Postoperative hyperlordosis laminectomy

    This last type of lordosis often occurs after laminectomy surgery. Laminectomy is a surgical removal of the spine to gain access to the spinal cord or nerve roots.

    This surgery can make the spine unstable and the lower back too curved (hyperlordotic).

    Symptoms of Lordosis

    One of the most common symptoms of lordosis is muscle pain that occurs when the spine curves abnormally. As a result, the muscles are pulled in different directions and become more tense. In addition, there are several other symptoms that may be felt by patients with lordosis, including:

    • Movement around the neck or back becomes limited
    • Buttocks appear more prominent
    • Numb
    • Body feels weak
    • Difficulty controlling urination and bowel movements
    • pins and needles
    • The upper body to the stomach is more forward
    • When viewed from the side, you can see an indentation in the abdominal area up to the waist
    • It is difficult to lie on your back while sleeping because the back area cannot attach to the floor perfectly due to being blocked by the buttocks.

    Keep in mind, the symptoms of lordosis between one patient and another are different. However, if Sinaumed’s starts to feel physical symptoms accompanied by changes in the appearance of the spine, it is highly recommended to immediately see a doctor. Because the sooner it is detected, the treatment will be easier.

    Procedure for Diagnosis and Treatment of Lordosis

    Sometimes we are lazy or afraid to go to the doctor because we don’t know what medical procedures the doctor will do. So, to make Sinaumed’s bolder, here is information about the procedure for the diagnosis and treatment of lordosis that will be carried out by the doctor:

    1. Physical check

    Usually the doctor will start by asking what symptoms you are feeling and also check your body’s medical history. In addition, the doctor may also ask Sinaumed’s to make several movements, such as sitting, standing, sleeping on his back, and bending to observe an abnormal back environment.

    2. CT scan and CAT tests

    To see an image of the spine in your body, the doctor will perform an imaging test procedure using a combination of X-rays and computer technology. The results of this procedure are quite detailed, so doctors can get an overview of the fat, muscles, and also the organs around the spine.

    3.MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)

    An MRI test is performed by combining high-powered magnets, radio frequency, and a computer to see detailed images of the spine in your body.

    4. X-rays

    An X-ray test is performed using a beam of electromagnetic energy to capture detailed images of the bones. Doctors usually use this test to determine the degree of curvature of the spine.

    5. Bone scan test

    A bone scan test is carried out to see what is causing the pain in your back, detect other bone diseases that may occur, and evaluate changes in the joints.

    6. Blood test

    Blood tests are not actually part of the standard diagnostic tests for lordosis. However, doctors sometimes do this test to identify certain metabolic problems that may be associated with abnormal body curvature.

    How to Prevent Lordosis

    Actually there is no single way that is proven to prevent lordosis disease. However, according to a study conducted in 2013 and published in the European Spine Journal, standing for too long can change the curvature of the spine. While sitting can reduce changes in the curve of the lumbar curve.

    Still according to the study, you can actually prevent the possibility of abnormal curvature of the lumbar by resting while sitting as often as possible when standing for a long time.

    How to Treat Lordosis

    How to deal with lordosis varies greatly, depending on age, severity of spinal conditions, degree of curvature, stage of growth, and also the underlying cause.

    If the lordosis that you have is not related to spondylolisthesis (the spine is misaligned because it shifts from its place), muscular dystrophy, or achondroplasia (impaired bone growth so that the sufferer looks stunted and his body is disproportionate), then treatment usually focuses on the symptoms of your lordosis. feel.

    In this case, the treatment for lordosis that is often recommended by doctors is:

    1. Take pain relievers

    Tingling, pain, or numbness can generally be relieved by taking pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen.

    2. Specific physical therapy for lordosis

    Specific physical therapy for lordosis sufferers is usually in the form of exercise. The goal is to reduce pain, increase physical function, and also develop the muscles in the back so they can better support the spine.

    Several sports options that can be chosen for the healing process of lordosis include gymnastics, yoga, and stretching exercises. This exercise must be done regularly accompanied by supervision from a doctor or therapist.

    3. Bracing therapy

    Bracing is a device that is placed on the back of a lordosis sufferer. Later this tool will help stabilize the back and prevent the spine from curving excessively,

    The use of this tool will be recommended if the spine is curved more than 30 degrees.

    4. Spinal surgery

    If the three previous ways of treating lordosis are considered ineffective, the doctor will usually propose surgery. This means, the operation will only be performed when the lordosis is considered very severe.

    The goal of this spinal surgery is to restore a spine that is too curved forward.

    However, if the lordosis is associated with other health conditions such as osteoporosis, treatment will also focus on treating this disease. So it is likely that the doctor will prescribe drugs that can reduce bone loss.

    5. Home treatment for lordosis

    Apart from doctor’s treatment, the lordosis healing process must also be supported by lifestyle changes. For example, you have to wear bracing regularly as recommended by your doctor or exercise must be according to the schedule given by your doctor.

    In addition, as long as you are taking drugs, you must stop smoking and drinking alcohol. The problem is that cigarettes contain chemicals that can reduce overall health. Meanwhile, alcoholic beverages can interfere with the performance of the drugs you are already taking.

    Lordosis is also closely related to the activities you do. Therefore, make sure to always stand, sit, and walk with good and correct posture.

    Then, avoid activities that have the potential to put heavy pressure on the lower spine, such as standing too long or lifting heavy objects.

    In addition, launching from tempo.co, the following exercises can help the healing process of lordosis:

     

    • Hip Flexor Stretch

  • Logic Gates: Definition, Types, Functions, and Symbols

    Technological developments cannot be separated from electronic systems, especially digital electronics. Digital electronics are composed of logic gates. Then the logic gate will perform digital operations. Want to know about what are logic gates to logic gate symbols? This article will discuss about logic gates, Sinaumed’s, read this article to the end, OK?

    Definition of Logic Gates

    It is common that every science will always develop. Likewise with the science of electronics which is always experiencing development. Electronics itself can be interpreted as an electronic system that can be connected with a digital signal. Digital electronics originates from Boolean algebra and is used in many devices, such as telephones, computers, and so on.

    Basically a digital signal has disjointed properties. In addition, this digital signal is usually denoted by an algebraic notation of 1 and 0. Notation 1 symbolizes the occurrence of a digital signal on an object. While the notation 0 symbolizes no relationship to an object.

    Digital electronics is also known as another designation, namely digital circuits. Compiler of digital circuits are called logic gates. As the name implies, logic gates carry out logical operations. Usually logic gates perform logic operations on one or more inputs and produce a single output.

    A logic gate is a digital electronics constructor in which every circuit in a logic gate works using the principles of Boolean algebra. Basically in electronics, an input and an output are built by what is called a voltage or current. This voltage is usually associated with a switch.

    Therefore, logic gates can be thought of as various switches that implement Boolean algebra in electronic systems. With a switch, certain electronic items can be used properly. This is because a logical operation on one or more logical inputs will produce a solitary logic output .

    The logic gate has several parts, namely resistors, transistors, and diodes. The three parts will perform simple operations or complex operations by simply combining several logic gates.

    In the logic gate there is a section called an integrated circuit (IC). This IC has a function to limit the maximum number of logic gates. Prior to the development of integrated circuits (ICs), the number of logic gates required in digital electronics was minimal.

    Each logic gate operation will be represented using a truth table. In the truth table, the number “1” indicates that the value is true (true) and the number “0” is worth false (false).

    As technology systems develop, electronic systems will also develop. For those of you who really want to study electronics, especially digital electronics, you can learn it through the Electronics and Embedded Systems books .

    Electronic Books and Embedded Systems contain digital circuits and ICs and USB port-based computer Op-amp Interfacing, Embedded Systems, and many more. What’s more, this book is perfect for high school/vocational school students, students, experts, and researchers because the discussion on electronics is very easy to understand. So, don’t hesitate to buy this book, it’s very easy, just click the “buy book” button.

    Types of Logic Gates

    The types of logic gates can be said to be the workings of the logic gates themselves. Logic gates have seven types of ways of working, namely AND logic gates, OR logic gates, NAND logic gates, NOR logic gates, X-OR (Exclusive OR) logic gates, and X-Nor logic gates (executive NOR) and NOT logic gates.

    1. Logic AND Gate

    AND logic gate is a logic gate that has two or more inputs and has one output. In the AND logic gate, the logic input is high if all of the logic outputs are also high. Vice versa, if the logic input is low, then the logic output will be low. You can find this logic gate in one of the electrical components, namely IC 7208.

    A B Y
    0 0 0
    0 1 0
    1 0 0
    1 1 1

    As previously said that every logic gate must have a truth table. The truth table shows that the logic gate can be activated or not. Therefore, based on the truth table above, it can be said that every output in the form of a number 0 means the AND logic gate cannot be activated.

    From the truth table it can also be concluded that logic gates can only occur if the inputs are both “1”. If the input is the numbers “0” and “0”, the AND logic gate cannot be activated and if the input is the numbers “1” and “0”, the logic gate cannot be activated either.

    2. Logic OR gate

    The OR logic gate is a very simple logic gate because it only uses resistors and transistors. The workings of the OR logic gate are two electrical power inputs. If one of the inputs is activated, the output will also be active. The OR logic gate can be found in the electrical components of the IC 7432.

    A B Y
    0 0 0
    0 1 1
    1 0 1
    1 1 1

    The logic OR truth table above explains that every two inputs that have the number “1” will produce the output number “1” as well. The number “1” indicates that the OR logic gate is correct and can be activated.

    However, the OR gate becomes inactive when one of its inputs is the number “0”. In other words, the number “0” on the logic OR gate will produce an inactive or incorrect output.

    3. NAND Logic Gates

    The NAND logic gate is a combination of AND logic gates and NOT logic gates. From the two combinations of logic, it can be read as NOT AND or can be abbreviated as NAND. NAND logic gates can be found in the electronic components of the IC 7400.

    A B Y
    0 0 1
    0 1 1
    1 0 1
    1 1 0

    The truth table of the NAND logic gate explains that the input of the number “1” with the number “1” will produce an output of “0”. While entering the number “0” with the number “0” will produce the output number “1”.

    From the truth table of the NAND logic gate above, it can be said that each output is the opposite of the output of the AND logic gate. Therefore, the NAND logic gate can be said to be the output of the logic gate of the AND logic gate which is inverted or negated.

    4. Logic NOR Gate

    The NOR logic gate is a combined logic gate of the OR logic gate and the NOT logic gate. You can find the NOR logic gate in an electrical component called IC 7436.

    A B Y
    0 0 1
    0 1 0
    1 0 0
    1 1 0

    Based on the truth table above, the NOR logic gate has two inputs and one output. Input in the form of the number “0” meets the number “0” will produce the number “1”. While the number “1” meets the number “1” will produce the output number “0”.

    When viewed from the truth table, the output of the NOR logic gate is the opposite of the output from the OR logic gate. Therefore, the NOR logic gate can be said to be the output of an inverted OR logic gate.

    5. XOR Logic Gate

    The XOR gate is a combination of the NOT, AND, and OR gates. Apart from these three combinations, the XOR logic gate can also use a combination of other logic gates. Because it can be joined by many logic gates, the XOR logic gate is also called an exclusive gate. The XOR gate can be found in the electronic components of the IC 7486.

    A B Y
    0 0 0
    0 1 1
    1 0 1
    1 1 0

    The XOR logic gate has a truth table which produces two “1” outputs and two “0” outputs. If the input is the same number, it will produce “0”. Meanwhile, if the input is a different number, the output will be “1”.

    Therefore, the XOR logic gate will issue a logic low if the two inputs have the same characteristics. Meanwhile, the XOR logic gate will output a logic high if the two inputs have different characteristics.

    6. XNOR Logic Gate

    The XNOR logic gate is a combination of the XOR logic gate and the NOT logic gate. From this combination of logic, it is abbreviated as XNOR or Exclusive NOR. XNOR logic gates can be found in the electronic components of IC 7266.

    A B Y
    0 0 1
    0 1 0
    1 0 0
    1 1 1

    The truth table of the XNOR logic gate explains that the same input will result in the number “1” output. Meanwhile, different inputs will produce an output in the form of the number “0”. So, it can be said that the XNOR truth table is the opposite of the XOR table.

    The XNOR logic gate will produce a logic high output if the two characteristics are the same. Meanwhile, the logic output will be low if the input at the XNOR logic gate has different characteristics.

    7. NOT Logic Gate

    A logic NOT gate is a logic gate that can perform logic nullification or logic state inversion operations. Because of that, this logic gate is called the NOT logic gate. The NOT logic gate is also known as an inverter circuit. The NOT logic gate can be found in the electrical components of the IC 7404.

    A Y
    0 1
    1 0

    The truth table of the NOT logic gate illustrates that the input of the number “0” will produce the output of the number “1” and if the input is the number “1” it will produce the output number “1”.

    Based on the truth table above, it can be said that the NOT logic gate operates in reverse. Although the operation is reversed, the binary shape and level in the input signal operation can be maintained properly.

    Logic Gate Functions

    The main function of a logic gate is to form a digital path so that all components can be connected to each other properly, so that an electronic device works well too. In addition, logic gates can function as a system to command or translate a device.

    In general, logic gates can be found in electronic devices in the form of chips . Inside the chip there are many components. Therefore, to connect each of the components on the chip , logic gates are present. In fact, inside the chip there are thousands of logic gates. Even though there are millions of logic gates, each gate has a different function.

    However, in simple logic IC components only a few logic gates are found. For example on the TTL 7408 logic IC components.

    In the TTL 7408 logic IC network above there are several networks, such as a flip flop network, a security network using a secret key, a counter network, a multiplexer network, a demultiplexer network, an encoder network, and a decoder network.

    Logic Gate Symbol

    Each logic gate has its own symbols. Below will be explained the symbols of each type of logic gate.

    1. Logic AND Gate

    In the symbol above, the AND logic gate has two inputs on the left. Meanwhile, there is only one output on the AND logic gate, namely the one on the right side. The AND logic gate will issue a logic high if the input characteristics are high, then the output will be high too.

    2. Logic OR gate

    In the symbol above, the OR logic gate has two inputs and one output. The OR logic gate will issue a logic high if there is an input with high characteristics, then the output of the OR logic gate will also be high. However, if all inputs have low characteristics, then the resulting logic will be low as well.

    3. NAND Logic Gates

    In the symbol above, the NAND logic gate has two inputs. Meanwhile, there is only one output on the NAND logic gate. The logic gate will output a logic high if one or all of the inputs have a logic low characteristic.

    4. Logic NOR Gate

    In the symbol above, the NOR logic gate has two inputs and produces one output. The logic NOR gate will be logic high if the inputs are both logic low. In other words, if there is a logic high input, the output will be a logic low.

    5. NOT Logic Gate

    In the symbol above, the NOT logic gate has an input of one. While the output of the NOT logic gate is only one. Each NOT logic gate will produce an output that is inversely proportional. For example, if the input is logic high, then the output will be low, and vice versa.

    6. XOR Logic Gate

    In the symbol above, the XOR logic gate has two inputs and only has one output. The XOR logic gate will issue a logic high if each input consists of a logic high and a logic low. In other words, any input that has the same logic will output a logic low.

    7. XNOR Logic Gate

    In the symbol above, the XNOR logic gate has two inputs with only one output. The XNOR logic gate will go high if the inputs have the same characteristic or logic amount. For example, two inputs with a low logic output a logic high and two inputs with a logic high output a logic high as well.

    George Boole

    Boolean algebra is a logical way to compare numbers to make a decision of right or wrong, or 1 or 0. This algebra was invented by a British mathematician named George Boole. He was born in 1815 and died in 1864. George Boole expressed his algebraic concepts in a book entitled An Investigation of the Laws of Thought, on Which Are Founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities in 1854.

    George Boole made algebra in the book with the aim of showing how complex reasoning works in humans, so that it can be described through mathematical and logical forms.

    Conclusion

    Logic gates are the building blocks of digital electronic devices. Each logic gate can be represented by a truth table. Each truth table uses the algebraic system of Boolean. Therefore, the truth table consists of only the numbers “1” and the numbers “0”. Electronic components that use logic gates are usually chips .

  • Local Wisdom: Definition, Characteristics, Functions, and Types

    Local Wisdom is – Every country in the world has its own uniqueness, including Indonesia. Our country is so unique, so unique that if there is a nomination for the most unique country, then Indonesia will definitely be included as one of the nominees, maybe even emerge as the winner.

    The uniqueness of Indonesia itself comes from customs, traditions and local wisdom that exist in Indonesia. Not just one, each region even has its own local wisdom.

    Unfortunately, as time goes by, like most customs, traditions and culture, the local wisdom that exists in various regions is increasingly being eroded by the times. Instead of maintaining local wisdom that has been passed down from their ancestors, many young people replace it with views from outside which are not necessarily true or will only damage existing local wisdom.

    Discussing local wisdom, you may have often heard this term. Whether it’s in books, television, or other electronic media. However, even though we often hear this term, in the end, many of us fail to understand and even confuse ourselves with the meaning of local wisdom itself.

    Maybe you are also one of them? If so, here’s an explanation of local wisdom that Sinaumed’s needs to understand!

    Definition of Local Wisdom

    For those of you who are confused about the meaning of local wisdom or the notion of local wisdom, basically, something that has existed in an area for a long time and has been passed on from generation to generation.

    Local wisdom is the view of life of a community in a certain area regarding the natural environment in which they live. This view of life is usually a view of life that has been deeply rooted in the beliefs of the people in the region for tens or even hundreds of years.

    To maintain this local wisdom, parents from the previous and older generations will pass it on to their children and so on. Considering that local wisdom is an old thought and is decades old, local wisdom in an area is so attached and difficult to separate from the people who live in that area.

    It’s sad, even though many parents still try to pass down local wisdom and outlook on life that they got from their ancestors, many young people actually consider local wisdom and traditional views of life that have been passed down from their ancestors as old views and thoughts that are no longer present. relevant to today’s modern times.

    In fact, if you think about it again, everything that includes a view of life that is still traditional is not always bad and is not always a wrong view. In fact, it could be the other way around, because it is local wisdom that is maintained that makes a community so unique and different from people who live in other areas.

    With local wisdom, the social order and the surrounding environment are sustainable and maintained. In addition, local wisdom is also a form of cultural wealth that must be firmly adhered to, especially by the younger generation to fight against globalization. That way the characteristics of the local community will never fade.

    Moreover, local wisdom comes from our ancestors, who clearly understand everything more, especially related to that area. Apart from that, there is wisdom as well as good things in this local wisdom, but sometimes it is difficult for young people of the current generation to understand.

    On the other hand, views that are too modern have the potential to be more damaging, especially to damage existing local wisdom. In fact, it does not rule out the possibility of destroying the existing culture, as well as destroying the surrounding environment.

    Characteristics of Local Wisdom

    After discussing the definition of local wisdom and knowing that local wisdom is the way of life of a community in a particular area regarding the natural environment in which they live, we will now discuss the characteristics of local wisdom. Here’s the full explanation!

    1. Survive the Onslaught of Foreign Cultures

    Each country, region or region has its own cultural customs. In contrast to our country which still maintains its culture and customs, most people from foreign countries out there have forgotten the customs and traditions of their ancestors.

    They prefer a free life that is considered modern without being bound by advice, let alone old customs that are considered out of date.

    Not only that, over time, foreign cultures also began to penetrate into various regions in Indonesia. In contrast, Indonesia has a lot of local wisdom which also contains very strong cultural values. Given the age of these cultural values ​​that have reached tens or hundreds of years, cultural values ​​in this local wisdom are highly trusted by the local community.

    It is this strong belief that makes foreign cultures unable to easily enter and influence society. That way, the characteristics of the people of an area will be maintained properly.

    2. Have the Ability to Accommodate Foreign Cultures

    Avoiding foreign cultures that enter Indonesia is not an easy thing to do. Moreover, in this era of globalization, where everything can be connected easily and quickly. Cultures or trends from outside usually spread quickly through YouTube, television and social media.

    It is because of the existence of this technology that foreign cultures can easily enter Indonesia. However, on the other hand, different from foreign cultures, local wisdom has a high degree of flexibility, so that it can be accommodated easily without destroying the beliefs of pre-existing local wisdom.

    As a result, even if a foreign culture enters, this foreign culture will only become a temporary trend and will not replace the existing ancestral culture. Moreover, to destroy the trust that is tens to hundreds of years old.

    3. Able to Integrate Foreign Cultures into Indigenous Culture in Indonesia

    Another feature of local wisdom is that local wisdom has the ability not only to accommodate, but also to integrate incoming foreign cultures and integrate them well with existing cultures.

    One of the Wonderful Indonesia videos that went viral a few months ago, for example. The video basically contains various traditional Indonesian cultures.

    However, it’s then mixed in with some modern and foreign nuances like the EDM season. The result? The video looks very beautiful and is liked by many people, both foreigners and locals.

    Another example is the construction of a building in Indonesia. It is not uncommon for architects to combine local culture by copying traditional building designs in Indonesia, then combining them with modern architecture.

    The Grand Mosque of West Sumatra, in the heart of Padang, for example, the building imitates Minangkabau architecture, while the roof of the mosque is made like a Gadang house which is a traditional house from West Sumatra Province. Even so, it still looks more modern.

    4. Capable of Controlling Incoming Foreign Cultures

    As previously discussed, foreign culture is not something that can be easily rejected. However, on the other hand, local wisdom which is customary and indigenous culture is also deeply rooted, so it will be difficult to remove it from society.

    Instead of disappearing and being replaced by foreign cultures, the belief in local wisdom is stronger, so that it makes us able to control incoming foreign cultures.

    Not only that, we can also easily filter incoming foreign cultures. In other words, we determine which foreign cultures can be accepted in Indonesia, and which foreign cultures have bad values.

    5. Giving Direction to the Development of Culture in Society

    Local wisdom that has been trusted by the community for a long time will inevitably also affect the community in their daily lives. How could it not be, local wisdom that is decades old will eventually become a belief or guideline adopted by the local community.

    As a result, when something happens, the community will use local wisdom as a benchmark before taking certain attitudes or actions. This habit also allows people in certain areas to develop their existing culture to be more focused than before. In other words, local wisdom has the characteristic of being able to provide direction for the local community.

    Functions of Local Wisdom for Society

    Existing local wisdom may have a very traditional character, but the existence of local wisdom is very important for the local community.

    This is because, local wisdom can not only be used as a guide in acting or behaving, but also has certain functions. Here’s the function of local wisdom for the community!

    1. Conservation of Existing Natural Resources

    Local wisdom has a fairly broad scope. Not only customs, local wisdom is also a way of life of the community regarding the natural resources in their area. Existing local wisdom makes people more aware of the importance of the natural resources around them.

    Instead of destroying it, local wisdom actually helps to encourage people in certain areas to do conservation so that the nature in which they live is maintained and not damaged.

    For example, Acehnese fishermen have abstinence from going to sea, such as Friday or Idul Fitri. Apart from these two days, there are several other days which are also designated as forbidden days to go to sea.

    This is done so that the fish have the opportunity to reproduce optimally. In addition, people who work as fishermen are also prohibited from catching fish with trawlers or bombs which can damage coral reefs and disrupt the ecosystem in the ocean.

    2. Become Advice, Trust, and Abstinence

    Our parents in the past certainly wanted the best for the lives of their future children and grandchildren. Unfortunately, they can’t live forever to keep their children and grandchildren living a good life.

    Instead, our ancestors passed down various local wisdoms. With local wisdom attached to the community, it is not only a way of life that can be better. More than that, local wisdom also includes advice or tips, taboos that cannot be violated, as well as beliefs that are well maintained.

    This old advice and advice is passed down, of course, to keep the life of each generation in a certain area running well.

    3. Become the Main Characteristic of a Society

    Existing local wisdom also includes customs and traditions. Even though it is often considered old-fashioned, it is these customs and customs that actually make an area unique and different from other regions in Indonesia.

    With local wisdom, people will consider a set of traditions as something that should be done, because they are used to these customs and culture. In addition, the local community has also assumed that local wisdom is something that must be done in the area.

    However, the story is different with tourists, and travelers who visit an area synonymous with local wisdom. The local wisdom that is reflected in these customs and culture cannot be found in other regions, because that is what makes tourists feel impressed with the region.

    Just look at Bali, not only has beautiful nature, Bali also maintains the customs and culture that were passed down to them by their ancestors. As a result, it is this cultural heritage that makes Bali feel different, feel more special, feel more memorable compared to other places in the world.

    Types of Local Wisdom

    Local wisdom not only has characteristics and functions, but local wisdom also consists of two types, namely local wisdom that is tangible or known as tangible, and also local wisdom that is intangible or commonly called intangible . What does it mean? Come on, see the full explanation below!

    1. Real or Tangible Local Wisdom

    As the name implies, tangible local wisdom is local wisdom that we can see and touch in its form. Local wisdom in real or tangible form can be seen in various forms, both in textual forms such as procedures, rules, or value systems.

    The next form is architectural, such as the various types of traditional houses that exist in every region in Indonesia. For example, the Gadang house in West Sumatra, the Joglo house from Central Java, or the stilt house from Jambi.

    Other tangible forms of local wisdom are cultural heritage such as statues, various traditional art tools, traditional weapons passed down from generation to generation, to traditional textiles such as batik cloth from Java Island, and woven cloth from Sumba Island.

    2. Intangible or Intangible Local Wisdom

    In contrast to tangible local wisdom that can be seen and felt, this intangible local wisdom cannot be seen in real terms. However, even though it is not visible, this type of local wisdom can be heard because it is passed on verbally from parents to children, and the next generation.

    Forms of intangible local wisdom include advice, songs, rhymes, or stories that contain life lessons for the next generation with the aim that the younger generation in the area does not commit bad actions that can harm themselves, the community, and the environment that becomes their home. and their source of livelihood.

    An example is the belief from Papua known as Te Aro Neweak Lako. This belief is a form of local wisdom that is intangible or intangible, where people believe that nature is part of themselves.

    Because nature is part of oneself, it must be guarded carefully. This includes not cutting down trees at will, which can make forests bare and cause various adverse disasters.

    Of course nature can be used, but not over-exploited. With this belief, it’s no wonder that nature on Earth in Papua is still very well preserved.

    Conclusion

    Local wisdom may sometimes sound so old-fashioned. But without realizing it, it is local wisdom in intangible forms such as advice, rhymes, and stories that has been keeping us on the right path. Whereas local wisdom in concrete forms such as batik, handicrafts, architecture makes us so different from other regions.

    These various forms of local wisdom unwittingly not only become beliefs that must be upheld, but also become the identity of a region. Without this identity, a region cannot be recognized, and remembered by outsiders.

     

  • Loan to Deposit Ratio: Definition, Formulas, Factors, and Functions

    Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) is often used as an indication in assessing a company’s financial health in carrying out various business activities. Check out a more complete explanation of the Loan to Deposit Ratio starting from the definition, formulas, factors, to the calculation function:

    Definition of Loan to Deposit Ratio

    The loan to deposit ratio is the loan to deposit ratio (LDR) which is often used in assessing bank liquidity by comparing total bank deposits and total bank loans in the same period. If the calculation of the Loan to deposit ratio (LDR) then shows a higher number ratio, then it will then lend all of its funds, so that the bank is relatively illiquid. Conversely, if the Loan to deposit ratio (LDR) results are high, the bank will then become liquid with excess capacity of funds ready to lend.

    In a loan-to-deposit ratio calculation, the total bank loans and total deposits will then be subdivided into the same period. This ratio can then ultimately be used as an indication of the level of ability of a conventional bank in channeling funds originating from the public.

    This distribution can also be done through various other banking products ranging from savings, time deposits, current accounts, time deposit certificates, and many more. Loan to deposit ratio (LDR) is also often used as an indication in assessing a company’s financial health in carrying out its various business activities.

    By calculating the number of loan to deposit ratio (LDR) ratios, a bank’s ability to retain and acquire customers will be known. If a bank’s receipt of funds continues to increase, then new sources of funds and new customers will then be successfully obtained.

    For investors, the Loan to deposit ratio (LDR) itself is very important as an indication used to find out whether this bank will then be operated properly. If a bank’s receipt of funds does not increase, then it will show a decrease, then the bank will only have a small amount of funds to credit.

    In addition, the Loan to deposit ratio (LDR) also helps show how well a bank is in retaining and attracting customers. If within a certain period of time deposits in the bank soar and increase, new clients and money will then join. So the bank will have more money to lend, which also increases revenue.

    Even though it is opposite in nature to a loan, intuition as an asset for the bank will then make it earn interest income from the loan. On the other hand, deposits are a bank liability because they have to pay interest on these deposits, even if only at low interest rates. Meanwhile, the Loan to deposit ratio (LDR) also has a complicated balance for a bank.

    If banks make loans with too many deposits it can result in a downturn in economic terms. However, if banks lend too little, they may have an opportunity cost because the deposits on the balance sheet will not generate income. Banks that have the lowest LTD ratio may have lower interest income resulting in lower income as well.

    Various factors alone can drive changes in the loan to deposit ratio. Economic conditions also affect the demand for loans and the amount of investor deposits. If consumers don’t have a job, they are unlikely to add to their savings. The central bank also regulates monetary policy by raising and lowering interest rates. If interest rates are too low, demand for loans may increase depending on economic conditions at the time.

    In short, there are many external factors that will affect the loan to deposit ratio (LDR) at a bank. Please note that the ideal loan to deposit ratio is 80% -90%. A loan-to-deposit ratio of 100% then means the bank lends one dollar to the customer for every dollar it takes in deposits it receives. It also means the bank then has no significant reserves available for expected and unforeseen contingencies. Central bank regulations also factor into how banks are managed and impact their loan to deposit ratio.

    LDR Calculation Formulas

    The formula for calculating the Loan to deposit ratio (LDR) itself refers to PBI No. 17/11/PBI/2015. Loan to deposit ratio (LDR) as a comparison between total loans disbursed and total receipts. The following is the loan to deposit ratio formula:

    LDR = (Loans Provided / Total Funds Received) x 100%

    The credit used in the self-calculation formula includes the volume of credit extended to third parties (where credit to other banks is not included) then divided again by funds from the bank’s capital, these third party funds themselves include savings, demand deposits, and deposits (excluding inter-bank ), and securities issued. Meanwhile, the soundness level of a bank based on the Loan to deposit ratio (LDR) is as follows:

    • The minimum loan to deposit ratio (LDR) allowed by BI is 78%.
    • The maximum loan to deposit ratio (LDR) allowed by BI is 92%

    A healthy loan to deposit ratio in general ranges from 78% -92%. However, under certain requirements the maximum loan to deposit ratio (LDR) limit was then relaxed to 94%, that is, if the gross credit NPL (Non Performing Loan) is met and the MSME NPL is below 5%. Meanwhile, according to central bank regulations, the tolerance limit for the loan to deposit ratio is 85% -110%.

    Factors Affecting LDR

    The cause of the rise and fall of the Loan to deposit ratio (LDR) can then come from the internal and external conditions of a banking company. Although in general, several factors then have the potential to change the Loan to deposit ratio (LDR), including:

    • The economic conditions of the people also influence the demand for credit and the amount of deposits. If Third Party Funds slow down, there will be a tightening of the Loan to deposit ratio (LDR). The trend of lending will also slow down, and the bank’s loan to deposit ratio (LDR) will also loosen. This was also influenced by the rapid growth of third party funds. If there are ups and downs in interest rates as a monetary policy set by the central bank. This will then affect the Loan to deposit ratio (LDR), that is, if interest rates are low, the demand for credit may also increase.
    • Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) as a ratio that shows how far all bank assets contain risk (loans, securities, investments, claims on other banks) are also financed from the bank’s own capital funds in addition to obtaining funds from sources outside the bank, such as loans (debt), community funds, and others (Dendawijaya 2009:121).
    • The Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) ratio is also used to measure the adequacy in terms of capital owned by a bank in supporting assets or generating risks, for example, in loans. The higher the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), the stronger the bank’s ability to bear various risks of productive assets and any risky loans. Furthermore, the factors that influence the Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) are the quality of earning assets as investment in securities, credit and other investments that have the potential to provide benefits to the bank.
    • Earning asset quality includes research on asset quality based on allowance for impairment losses on earning assets (based on PBI Number 14/15/PBI/2012). With the amount of reserves formed then it shows that the quality of the bank’s productive assets has decreased so that revenue until finally received by the bank has decreased. Revenue itself also decreased causing a decrease in capital which had an impact on reducing the ability of banks to finance risky assets (credit).
    • Operating costs to operating income (BOPO) with a comparison between operating costs and operating income in measuring the level of efficiency and the ability of banks to carry out their operations (Rivai, et al. 2007: 722). Based on this explanation, operational costs also have a negative effect on the loan to deposit ratio (LDR) because the smaller the BOPO, the more efficient the costs borne by the bank are in generating high income from credit (loans).
    • The net open position also limits the bank’s risk in foreign currency transactions, thus affecting the fluctuating exchange rates. The net open position of a bank is also used in limiting speculative transactions and maintaining the sources and use of foreign currency funds in the bank. Based on Bank Indonesia regulation number 17/5/PBI/2015 dated 29 May 2015, the maximum net open position promised by Bank Indonesia is 20% of the bank’s capital. So it can be concluded that if the PDN ratio increases, the Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) decreases.

    Loan to Deposit Ratio Calculation Function

    The Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) will assist investors in observing the condition of a bank, whether it is feasible to operate, and what its financial condition is, whether the receipt of funds has also increased or decreased. In some cases, the bank will then lend the funds at increased interest. However, if the funds are used to fund credit management, the bank will then have to bear the costs of paying interest on the debt. In addition, the Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) also shows the quality of the bank in serving and caring for customers.

    If the deposit of funds increases, then the customer also increases. On the other hand, the bank will then lend a lot of funds to customers, thereby reducing the level of income. Banks that lend funds to their customers will also generate low profit margins.

    However, a balanced Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) is the best way for banks. With the increasing number of deposits that are lent, it is possible that there will be a decline in the economic level. However, if too few deposits are lent then assets tend not to increase and are in a stable state.

    Within the scope of the company, the Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) is also known as the debt to assets ratio. The function itself is similar to the loan to deposit ratio, except that the debt to assets ratio is used to measure the total assets that can be used to cover the company’s debts. With the aim of knowing the effectiveness of managing company assets and generating income, the activity ratio is used. Meanwhile, the current ratio is used to indicate a company’s ability to pay short-term debt. Both are then included in the indication of the debt to assets ratio.

    Banking itself requires the Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) as an assessment tool that shows how healthy the business activities are being carried out by a banking company. Other functions of the Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) include serving as an indicator of bank health, as well as a standard indicator for evaluation of Anchor Banks or Anchor Banks (minimum LDR of 50%).

    As a determinant of the size of the bank’s Minimum Statutory Reserves (GWM). As one of the conditions for tax relief given to banks for mergers. Meanwhile, customers and investors who plan to deposit funds with a bank, the Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) figure itself is an indication of how well the bank is then operated.

    Book Recommendations Regarding Loan to Deposit Ratio

    1. Smart Banking Series, Commercial Bank Credit According to Banking Theory and Practice

    The book Smart Banking Series, Commercial Bank Credit According to Banking Theory and Practice is the third book published by author A. Wangsawidjaja. It is hoped that the book material for Commercial Bank Credit According to Indonesian Banking Theory and Practice will provide input as an introduction to understanding various conventional banking credit transactions and commercial bank credit law, including the general settlement of conventional commercial bank bad loans.

    The material for this book is prepared based on the author’s practical experience, both as a banking practitioner in BNI branch offices, regional offices and BNI big offices from the period 1970 to 1999. In this book the author also adds the author’s practical experience as an Advocate, Partner in Law Offices of Remy & Darus and Law Offices Of Remy & Partners from 2000 to 2013, as well as founder and partner at WKI & Associates (www.kantor Hukum dki.com) from 2013 to present, which provides consultancy conventional banking law and Islamic banking to their clients.

    The author completed his Bachelor’s degree at Sriwijaya State University Palembang (UNSRI), Master’s degree in Law at the University of Indonesia (UI) Jakarta, and Doctoral degree at Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University (UIN Syarif Hidayatullah) Jakarta. The material in this book was given as lecture material by the author in the Banking Law course at the Postgraduate Law Masters program at the University of Indonesia (UI), University of Surabaya (Ubaya), Jakarta Military Law College (STHM), and the Indonesian Banking Development Institute Jakarta ( LPPI), a writer at that time (2000-2011) as an assistant to Prof. Dr. Sutan Remy Sjahdeini, SH, as a professor of Banking Law.

    The presence of this book is to contribute to a more complete literature on credit cooperatives. A cooperative that is characterized by a movement for freedom from poverty and community empowerment for people who are considered “weak”, marginalized, but are actually rich and empowered. The scarcity of literature on the cooperative movement, especially credit unions that adhere to the principles of Rochdale, and the many misunderstandings that credit cooperatives are just savings and loan cooperatives in the style of capital investment, led to the publication of this book.

    Much of what is written in this book is not merely sourced from existing literature, but moreover is based on the author’s first experience who has been closely and deeply involved in establishing, managing, and spreading the People’s Sovereignty Movement Credit Unions to various regions of the country over the last 20 years.

  • Literature Review: Definition, Methods, Benefits, and How to Make

    In the world of research, especially scientific work, it cannot be separated from literature or literature in Indonesian. Literature is a source or reference or reference for researchers of scientific work, so it cannot be simply released. In other words, through literature, a person or researcher can obtain valid and accountable information and data which can then be used as a reference for writing scientific papers. One of the studies related to literature is a literature review.

    Literature is often used as a reference or reference in making scientific writing, so literature is very difficult to separate from the world of education. Therefore, literature is often used by students to complete their final project or thesis. In fact, literature is also needed by lecturers who are conducting research or making journals.

    This literature is very diverse in form or you could say not only books, but also in the form of scientific journals, dissertations, theses, and so on. The more literature that is used as a reference or reference for making scientific papers, the more scientific papers produced will be optimal. Scientific writing that is done optimally, usually the content will be more complex and still easy to understand.

    Even though a lot of literature is used, it cannot guarantee that it will produce quality scientific work. Therefore, in making scientific work, you should choose quality data or choose data that is directly related to the topic of the scientific work being made.

    To be able to get valid data from the literature, the creator of a scientific work should conduct a literature review first. This needs to be done so that the authors of scientific papers know the research data that has been done before and can be used as a reference. In addition, literature reviews can also be used to find out what approach has been chosen by previous researchers.

    Literature review consists of two words, the first is literature and the second is review. Therefore, before discussing further about literature review, this article will discuss the meaning of literature and the meaning of review.

    Definition of Literature

    Literature is all written works that can be used as reference material or references in conducting various fields of research or scientific writing. In Indonesian, literature is better known as literature. In the Big Indonesian Dictionary, (KBBI), literature is reading material that is used in various activities, both intellectually and recreationally.

    Literature is used as a reference because it is considered that there is a lot of valid data in the literature. In addition, literature is also considered to have many benefits that are eternal. In other words, literature will never die and will continue to exist and will continue to grow.

    In this case, various kinds of papers are included in the literature section as long as they are related to the topic of discussion that will be used in making scientific papers. Although it can be used as reference material in making scientific work, the data in the literature must be checked first, whether the data is valid or not. Apart from that, it can also be checked through literature writers, editors, to who published the literature.

    Definition of Reviews

    As previously explained that literature review consists of two words, after discussing the meaning of literature, the meaning of review is a summary or review that comes from several sources, such as films, books, news, and journals. In addition, reviews can also come from several products that we usually do after shopping online .

    Reviews that are done after completing online shopping are very useful for the store because they can find out what things need to be improved and what things need to be maintained. Therefore, online stores really expect reviews from their buyers. That way, shop owners can improve the quality of service or the quality of the product itself, so that it can increase sales turnover.

    Basically, almost the same as a product review, the meaning of the word review in literature review means a person’s assessment of the quality of a written work. In this case, the written works in question are very diverse, such as journal writing, novels, books, and others.

    With a literature review, someone will know whether the written work can be used as a reference for research (scientific work) or not. Literature review is also useful for creators of their writing because they know the things that need to be done to improve the quality of their writing.

    Not only that, literature reviews can also be useful for others in helping to find papers that are of good quality and can be used as references in conducting research. Because the scope of the review is very broad, the review itself is divided into several types, such as journal reviews, reviews, books, reviews, articles, and many more.

    What is Literature Review?

    Even though literature review consists of two words, the actual meaning of a different literature review is not the same as the combined meaning of the two words. In the field of research, especially the creation of scientific papers, literature review is better known as a literature review. Therefore, it can be said that a literature review is an analytical activity which can be in the form of criticism of a research that is being carried out on a particular topic which is part of a scientific field.

    The content in this literature review is in the form of an explanation or discussion of the theory of a finding or research topic. From the explanation of these theories can be used as a theoretical basis in making scientific work or in conducting research activities. In addition, research that is currently being carried out can be in the form of developing from previous research or it can also be research that is being carried out for the first time.

    To make this literature review, one needs to do a number of things first, such as reading and understanding the papers to be analyzed, criticizing the papers, and providing reviews or responses to the papers or literature. Therefore, this literature review activity is very synonymous with students or lecturers. This is because students or lecturers will usually get a job to do a literature review.

    In general, the activity of making literature reviews is often carried out by students or lecturers. There are several types of literature that are often reviewed when carrying out literature review activities, such as scientific articles from scientific journals, theses, dissertations, seminal papers, textbooks (novels, short stories, non-fiction books, and so on), and report from an organization that has a fairly high level of trust.

    Literature Review Method

    When you want to do or make a literature review, you can use several methods, namely the method of systematic mapping study , systematic literature review, and traditional review. 

    Systematic Mapping Study

    Systematic mapping study is a type of literature review method in which the writing is carried out systematically and uses predetermined steps. With this literature review method, choosing the paper to be studied cannot be done subjectively, so it must be done objectively.

    Systematic mapping studies are more complex and there are more papers that can be used compared to traditional reviews . In addition, researchers who want to make a literature review with this method usually already have certain standards. In this case, the standard in question is the standard in choosing the title and type of paper to be used.

    Therefore, researchers who use this method in making literature reviews will usually collect various kinds of writings. After collecting the papers, the researcher will read the papers one by one which will then be reviewed or analyzed and adapted to the topic of discussion to be studied.

    Systematic Literature Review

    Systematic literature review is usually abbreviated as SLR. Systematic literature review is a method that systematically aims to collect, then analyze critically by presenting data and findings from various other studies.

    Making literature reviews with the systematic literature review method is usually done sequentially or systematically. In other words, a literature review is made starting from the most basic things and then working on complex things.

    The stages that need to be passed with this method can indeed be said to be quite long. However, the literature review that will be produced will be more detailed, accurate, and more complex. Therefore, when conducting a literature review using this method, the author can obtain a sharper and better quality theoretical basis.

    Traditional Reviews

    The second method used in making a literature review is the traditional review. Traditional review is a method commonly used to make literature reviews by researchers. The results with the traditional review method which is commonly used to make this literature review are often found in survey papers. Therefore, the literature reviews produced through this method are more specifically focused on one topic only. In addition, the author of the selected paper is known in advance.

    With this traditional review method, the papers used as references are still on the same topic of discussion as the research being carried out. This method can indeed make a literature review more specific, but papers that can be used as references are limited. Even though it is possible that data or sources that can be used can be obtained from different topics of discussion.

    Not only limited in terms of data and sources, but the traditional review method is also limited to the insight and level of understanding of the researcher. In other words, the wider the researcher’s insight, the more written works or literature that have been read and researched or analyzed by researchers.

    Benefits of Literature Reviews

    The large number of researchers who use literature reviews is not without reason, because the literature review itself has several benefits including:

    1. Knowing the Development of Science (Specific Fields)

    The first benefit that can be obtained by making a literature review is knowing the development of science in a particular field. With this benefit, a researcher can continue to explore this knowledge, and can even contribute to the development of this science.

    2. Knowing the Methods or Techniques in Making Scientific Work

    The second benefit of making a literature review is knowing the methods or techniques in making scientific work. This benefit can occur because in making a literature review, the steps are almost the same as making a scientific paper. In addition, by making a literature review, researchers can also find out techniques for solving a problem, so that the solution to the problem can be used by other readers.

    3. Increase Knowledge

    In addition to knowing the development of science, making a literature review can also be useful to increase knowledge. With increasing knowledge, the insight will also increase. This can happen because when carrying out literature review activities, researchers will read and understand various kinds of written works, whether they are relevant to the topic of discussion or not.

    4. Knowing Interrelated Research Results

    When carrying out literature review activities, we will read and understand written works in the form of the results of previous research. Therefore, by conducting a literature review, researchers will find out the results of research that are interrelated with the topic of discussion to be studied.

    5. Determine the Topics for Discussion and Problems to be Researched

    The fifth benefit of making a literature review is that it can determine a topic of discussion and problems to be studied. This can happen because when making a literature review, researchers will easily find problems or topics of discussion that are close to everyday life. In addition, literature reviews can also be useful for researchers so that the research carried out does not go anywhere.

    Every benefit of literature review is generally related to research activities or making scientific work because making a literature review itself is part of making scientific work.

    How to Make a Literature Review

    The following will explain several steps in making a literature review, including:

    1. Finding, Reading, and Understanding Relevant Writing

    In making a literature review, the researcher must look for written works that will be used in later research. Not only searched, but also must be read, and understood in order to get data sources that are relevant to the topic of discussion.

    2. Choose Clear Data Sources

    The second step in conducting a literature review is selecting clear data sources. This needs to be done so that the research process does not go astray and produce detailed and specific literature reviews.

    3. Do In-Depth Identification

    The next step is to carry out in-depth identification. In this case what is identified are all written works that will be used as a reference in making a literature review. The deeper the identification is carried out, the better the data sources obtained will be.

    4. Create a Literature Review Framework

    Before directly making a literature review, it is better to make a literature review framework first. By making a literature review framework, the researcher will find out things that need to be corrected and added in making a literature review. That way, it can reduce errors in making literature reviews and can produce quality literature reviews.

    5. Make a Literature Review

    The final step is to make a literature review using the previously obtained data sources.

    After knowing how to make a literature review, are you interested in trying to make a literature review right away?

    Conclusion

    Literature review is often known as a literature review which is often found by students and lecturers who are completing their final assignments, such as theses, theses or dissertations. With a literature review, it will be easier for researchers to find papers of the same type as the topic of discussion to be studied.

    There are three literature review methods, namely systematic mapping study , systematic literature review , and traditional review . Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is better to use a method that is in accordance with the literature review that will be made, so that it can produce optimal and quality literature reviews.

  • Literature Review: Definition, Benefits, Purpose, How to Make, and Examples

    Literature review – Have you ever conducted research or written a scientific paper? For students or lecturers conducting research and making scientific papers you can say they are already familiar. This is because in tertiary institutions, a research or scientific paper is one of the mandatory things that must be done and completed, such as the final task of making a thesis.

    In conducting research or scientific writing, one must pay attention to scientific principles. Without scientific principles in conducting research, the data sources obtained are invalid, so that the research is invalid and cannot be accounted for. Not only can a research be accounted for, but with scientific principles, it becomes easier for researchers to complete research.

    As for data sources that can be used in research or to make scientific papers, such as literature, interviews, surveys, and so on. However, in choosing a data source, it is better not only to be valid, but also to pay attention to its suitability for the topic of the problem.

    This scientific principle also makes researchers not carelessly carry out research activities because they will know what things must be done in order to produce quality research. In fact, with scientific rules, a research or scientific paper can provide benefits to its readers, especially in obtaining a solution to a topic that has been researched.

    One of the scientific rules that must exist in research or scientific writing is a literature review. With a literature review, researchers can find valid and relevant data sources with the topic of the problem to be studied. Then, what is meant by literature review? Come on, see this review until it’s finished, okay, Sinaumed’s.

    Definition of Literature Review

    Literature review is a collection of theories obtained from various sources that will be used as reference material in carrying out research activities or making scientific papers. In this case, the theoretical basis can be taken from various media, such as journals, theses, articles, news, newspapers, and many more. However, in choosing a theory to use, it is better to choose one that is relevant to the topic of research problem or scientific paper.

    Literature review is often also known as theoretical basis. This literature review aims to answer or find solutions to a topic of the problem to be studied. Therefore, the theory chosen must be valid so that the results of the research can be accounted for and can provide benefits and solutions for readers on the topic of the problem raised.

    Because literature review is very important in the process of research and writing scientific papers, literature review must exist. Literature review needs to be written because it can support the sharpness of the research process. Not just written, but literature review must also be explained in scientific language, but easy to understand so that the reader understands the purpose of the answer or analysis of the research.

    Therefore, it can be said that literature review is an important part of the research process or scientific writing. Without a literature review, the process of research or scientific writing carried out can be deviated from the topic of the problem, so that the results of the research are less than optimal.

    In addition, without a literature review, writers or even readers will find it difficult to capture the outline of the research process that has been carried out. In other words, the research process carried out is not in accordance with the original purpose. Therefore, never forget to include a literature review when you want to carry out the research process or scientific writing.

    Writing a literature review on scientific writing, literature review is usually in CHAPTER II. Scientific works that use literature review, such as journals, theses, dissertations, and research reports, and the like.

    Literature Review According to Experts

    The following is the definition of literature review according to experts.

    1. Trees

    According to Poha, literature review is an activity to collect scientific data, especially in the form of theories, methods, or research that has been done before, both in the form of books, document manuscripts, journals, and others that are already in the library.

    2. Nyoman Kutha Ratna

    Nyoman Kutha Ratna stated three meanings related to literature review, including:

    • Literature review is a reading that has previously been read and analyzed in published form or as a private collection.
    • Literature review is often associated with a theoretical basis or theoretical framework, namely theories that have been used to analyze research objects. Therefore, for some researchers will combine literature review with a theoretical framework or theoretical basis.
    • Literature review is a variety of reading materials that are specifically relevant to the research object to be studied or analyzed.

    3. Nazir

    Nazir said that literature review is a literature study or literature study that has a function to support research acumen and support research. In addition, literature review is also used to determine the extent to which knowledge related to the research process develops and to what extent conclusions can be obtained, so that the required situation is successfully obtained.

    4. Muh Fitrah, M, PS and Dr. Lutfhiyah, M.Ag

    According to Muh Fitrah, M.Ps and Dr. Lutfhiyah, M.Ag, literature review is an action or activity in the form of observing, exploring, and studying knowledge.

    Of the four definitions of literature review according to experts, it can be said that literature review is an activity that starts from observing, studying, and studying knowledge in order to obtain data sources that can be used for research, such as theories, methods, or scientific approaches.

    Currently, the nursing profession continues to increase every year. Therefore, not a few people who want to have dreams of becoming a nurse because they can help patients who are sick. The book entitled Foundation of Nursing Theory for Adult Patients is very suitable to be used as a reference for nursing students who wish to deepen their knowledge of nursing. In this book, you will get various approaches, aspects of nursing, to case study examples.

    Benefits of Literature Review

    The benefits of literature review are as follows:

    1. It’s easy to find solutions to the topics studied

    Every time you carry out a research process or make a scientific paper, you cannot be separated from the topic of the problem to be researched. Then, the topic of the problem is sought for a solution, so that the problem has the answer. By conducting a literature review, solutions to the topic of research problems can be found because in the literature review there are theories that support the sharpness of the research.

    All theories contained in the literature review must go through studies from various kinds of literature or data sources, so that a theory that is relevant to the topic of the problem can be obtained. In fact, it can produce useful research for its readers on current problems.

    2. Providing Convenience in the Research Process

    The second benefit of literature review is that it facilitates the research process or the creation of scientific papers. This benefit can be felt because literature review can be used as a basis for finding theories, so that it can produce solutive research.

    However, before these theories are used in the literature review, researchers will develop these theories first. Then, then the theories are used as the basis for conducting research.

    3. Easy to Determine Research Criteria

    The third benefit of literature review is that it is easy to determine research criteria. In conducting research or making scientific work, researchers must first determine research criteria so that the research process can run properly or be more directed. In this case, the research criteria usually begins in the form of a statement.

    The criteria for research must generally be in the form of success or failure, how to identify problem topics, suggestions for researchers, and making a conclusion. Therefore, it can be said that with this criterion, the research results will be easier to understand.

    4. Verify the Research Results  

    The fourth benefit of a literature review is that it can verify research results. Verification of the results of this research needs to be done because it serves as a comparison of the results of research that has been done before. With the verification of the results of this study, the research process that is being carried out can draw conclusions. The presence of conclusions on the results of the study, the reader knows the results of the research in outline.

    Purpose of Literature Review

    Besides having benefits, literature review also has several objectives, including:

    1. To understand a problem that is relevant to the topic of research discussion, so that it can produce a solutive research.
    2. To conduct a review of the topic of discussion that will be researched or analyzed through literature or written work.
    3. To find out previous researchers who have conducted research with the topic of discussion or topic of the same problem.
    4. To know and understand each theory that will be used as literature in the research process that is being carried out which will then be written down.
    5. Aiming at determining attitudes when conducting research that has been carried out and completed, the results are not in accordance with what is expected or not in accordance with the main objectives of the research.

    In the world of academics and research, a literature review is a must. The existence of a literature review proves that in this world there is nothing really new. Making or writing a literature review cannot be done just like that, but there are guidelines. The book on compiling a literature review is very suitable to be used as a reference in making a literature review and is very suitable to be used as a reference in research methodology courses.

    Library Review Function 

    In addition to the purpose of making a literature review, it turns out that there is also a function of literature review, especially in research.

    • Facilitate researchers in providing an explanation of the methods and techniques used when conducting research.
    • Explain the various types of research that has been done before with the topic of the same problem in the research that is being carried out.
    • Provide an explanation as well as a description of all data that has been used as a reference in research or scientific writing.
    • Prove the authenticity of the research being carried out and can be accounted for.
    • Explain some of the ideas and approaches that have been done before.

    Types of Library Studies

    Literature review consists of 4 types, including:

    1. Qualitative Literature Review

    Qualitative literature review is a type of literature review that is generally used in research with a qualitative approach. Therefore, researchers who use this type of literature review usually use a theoretical basis to provide an explanation of certain research guidelines and behaviors.

    2. Quantitative Literature Review

    Quantitative literature review is a type of literature review used in research with a quantitative approach. This type of literature review contains variables that are directly related to the hypotheses that have been determined.

    3. Normative Theory Literature Review

    Normative theory literature review is a type of literature review that uses normative theory in its production. Therefore, this literature review is often used in social science research.

    4. Mixed Literature Study

    A mixed literature review is a literature review made by combining qualitative research methods with quantitative methods.

    Books About Scientific Work

    Ethics of Writing Scientific Papers

    In writing scientific papers, you should not be careless, you must follow the ethics of writing scientific papers. Currently, there is already a lot of literature explaining the ethics of writing scientific papers, one of which is the book Ethics of Writing Scientific Papers . In this book, it will be explained in more detail about how to prepare scientific writing to how to make scientific writing that is not plagiarism.

    Microsoft Word and Excel for Writing Scientific Papers (Thesis)

    When carrying out scientific paper writing activities, you cannot be separated from Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel software. Both software can be used in qualitative (descriptive) research or quantitative (mathematical) research. Books with the titles Microsoft word and excel for Writing Scientific Papers (Thesis) are very suitable to be used as study references because they include ways to make a table of contents, make page numbers, add references and make a bibliography.

    Writing Scientific Papers

    When you are already studying in tertiary institutions (S1, S2, and S3) you usually cannot be separated from writing scientific papers. To write good scientific papers, special skills are needed. One of the skills needed is managing research results so that they are easy to understand. The book Writing Scientific Papers contains information on how to write scientific papers according to research principles, managing data sources properly, and how to write good and correct scientific papers.

    How to Make a Literature Review

    How to make a literature review as follows:

    1. Identifying Research 

    When wanting to make a literature review, the researcher needs to identify the research first. From this identification, researchers can determine research that is in accordance with the topic of the problem that has been determined as well.

    2. Finding, Reading, and Understanding Relevant Reading Sources

    Because literature review is always related to previous research, to make a literature review one must search, read, and understand research that has been done before. Not only that, but researchers must also look for literature that is relevant to the research being carried out.

    3. Keeping records

    The third step in making a literature review is to record. This step needs to be done so that researchers know important things that can be included in the literature review.

    4. Summarizing from the Readings That Have Been Found

    After taking notes, the next step is to make a summary of the reading that has been found before. With this summary, researchers can produce brief, clear, and concise literature reviews.

    5. Make Literature Review

    The fifth step is to make a literature review. In making a literature review, it should be done in a systematic way and use theory that is relevant to the research being carried out.

    6. Write General Views

    The last step in writing a literature review is to write a general view that is appropriate and related to the content of the research that has been done.

    Example of Literature Study

    Before I looked for literature reviews from other universities, I first looked at the level of the language and literature faculty at the National University (UNAS). Based on my search, there have been those who have conducted research using semiological theory like mine, but with a different object. Analysis of the novel “YABU NO NAKA” by Akutagawa Ryuunosuke to reveal the theme through a study of Roland Barthes’ codes, the research was conducted by Hendra Kusumawinata, the Japanese Literature study program in 2004.

    Based on my search, I found the same theory as my analysis, but with a different object. The work belongs to Haerunissa from the University of Mataram with the title Analysis of the Poetry “I’m on the Moon” by Khanis Selasih: A Study of Roland Barthes’ Semiology and Its Relationship to Literature Learning in Middle School.

     

  • Literally Is: Types, Up To The Technique

    The word “literal” has the same meaning as the meaning “literal”. Based on the Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI), literal is a translation or meaning according to letters, word for word.

    In linguistics, the word “literally” is known as a lexical term meaning that a word is defined by the basic word meaning. Where, the words match the dictionary.

    After you know about the literal meaning of the word, you also need to know about discussions related to literal or translation types. Well, what are they? Come on, find out the full discussion below.

    Types of Translation Usually Found in the Translation World

    Literally or translation, it turns out that there are many types in the world of translation. Where, currently the translation industry is continuously developing. Now, there are certain terms used to define specific translations that do not fall into the general category.

    Of course, the brief explanation below can provide an explanation regarding some of the common translation terms used. So, what are the types, let’s find out together the explanation below.

    1. Administrative Translation

    Text translation is administrative in nature. Although administrative has a fairly broad meaning in terms of translation, this administrative refers to general texts used in business and organizations that are used in day-to-day management. Administrative can also be expanded to include texts with the same function in government.

    2. Commercial Translation

    Commercial translation, also known as professional business translation, covers the types of documents used in the business world, such as correspondence, company reports, tender documents, and other reports. Commercial Translation requires expert translators with knowledge of the terminology used in the business world.

    3. Computer Translation

    Not to be confused with CAT, this type of computer translation refers to translations done with the help of software. Computer translation is the translation of everything related to computers, such as software, manuals, books, help files, applications, and so on.

    4. Economic Translation 

    As with commercial and business translations, economic translation is just a special term used for translators of documents related to the economic field. The text is generally more academic in nature.

    5. Financial Translation 

    Financial translation is a text translation that is financial in nature. Where, everything from banking, asset management, to stocks and bonds can be covered by this financial translation service.

    6. General Translation

    General translation is the simplest translation. General text means that the language used is not high and is to some extent understood by ordinary people. There is no specific terminology or technical practice included in this category.

    7. Legal Translation

    Legal translation is the most difficult translation to know. At the simplest level, legal translation means translation of legal documents, for example contract laws and agreements.

    Legal translation will always require the attention of an expert. This happens because law is closely related to culture and requires translators with a very good understanding of source and target culture.

    Most translation essences will only ever hire legal experts to do the job. It happens because there is no opportunity to make mistakes. Mistranslation of any part of the contract can be fatal.

    When translating texts in the field of law, the translator must remember the following. Where, the legal system of the source text is structured in a way that is appropriate to the culture and this is reflected in the legal language. Likewise, the target text must be read by someone who is familiar with other legal systems and their languages.

    8. Literary Translation

    Literary translation is the translation of literary works, for example novels, plays, and poetry. Translation of literary works is considered by many to be one of the highest forms of translation because it involves quite a lot of things, more than just translating texts. Literary translators are required to be able to translate feelings, cultural nuances, humor and other subtle elements from a literary work.

    9. Medical Translation

    Medical translation will cover everything from the medical field, medicine packaging to manuals for medical equipment and medical books. Similar to legal translation, medical translation is a specialty where translation errors can have serious consequences.

    10. Technical Translation

    Technical translation has a fairly broad meaning. Technical translation generally refers to a specific field, for example manufacturing or related to texts, for example manuals and manuals. In addition, technical translations are generally more expensive than general translations because they contain a large amount of terminology that only expert translators can handle.

    Those are some types of translation commonly used in the world of translation. In the following discussion, we will discuss translation techniques. So, keep reading this article, Sinaumed’s.

    Translation Techniques

    Translation techniques are methods used with the intention of diverting messages from SL to TL, applied at the level of word phrases, clauses or sentences. Based on the opinion of Molina and Albir 2002, translation techniques have 5 (five) characteristics, namely:

    1. Translation techniques affect the translation results
    2. Techniques are classified by comparison to Basu texts.
    3. Techniques are at the micro level
    4. Techniques are not related to each other but according to a certain context.
    5. Technique is functional.

    Each expert has his own terms in choosing a translation technique, so that it tends to overlap between techniques from one expert to another. The technique that is meant to be the same turns out to have a different term. In terms of diversity, of course it is positive but on the other hand related to research will result in difficulties in choosing the term for a particular technique.

    Therefore, in this case the author uses 18 translation techniques proposed by Molina and Albir. Apart from uniformity, the technique proposed by Molina and Albir has gone through complex research by referring to and comparing with existing translation techniques from previous translation experts.

    So, here are 18 translation techniques that you can try.

    1. Adaptation (Adaptation)

    This adaptation technique is also known as the cultural adaptation technique. This technique is carried out by replacing the cultural elements that exist in Basu with the same cultural elements that exist in SL. This can be done because the cultural elements in SL are not found in TL, nor are the cultural elements in TL which are more familiar to the target readers. The technique is the same as the cultural equivalent technique.

    2. Amplification (Amplification)

    Translation techniques by making it explicit or paraphrasing an information that is implicit in SL. The technique is similar to that of exclamative explanatory, addition, and paraphrasing. Where, the footnote is one part of the amplification. The reduction technique is the opposite of this one technique.

    3. Borrowing

    The translation technique is done by borrowing words and expressions from BSu. This loan can be pure (Pure Borrowing) without adjustments or naturalized borrowing (Naturalized Borrowing) with adjustments to spelling and pronunciation. The official dictionary in BSA is a benchmark for whether the word or expression is a loan or not.

    4. Kalke (Layer)

    The Kalke technique is a translation technique that is carried out by literally translating phrases and rich source language. The technique is the same as the technique of acceptance (Acceptance).

     5. Compensation

    Compensation technique is a translation technique that is carried out by conveying messages to other parts of the translated text. This was done because it had an effect on the style or style of BSu and could not be applied to BSa. The technique is similar to the conception technique.

    6. Description

    Description technique is a translation technique that is applied by replacing a term or expression with a description of its form and function.

    7. Discursive Creation

    Discursive technique is a translation technique using equivalents that are out of context. This is done to attract the attention of potential readers. The technique is the same as the proposal technique.

    8. Establish Equivalence

    Common equivalent technique is a technique that is carried out by using terms or expressions that are common or according to dictionaries or everyday use. Where, this one technique is the same as the literal translation technique.

    9. Generalization (Generalization)

    The generalization technique is a technique by using a more general term in SL to be more specific in SL. This is done because BSa does not have a specific equivalent. This type of translation technique is the same as the acceptance technique.

    10. Linguistic Amplification

    This type of translation technique is done by adding linguistic elements in TL. Where, this technique is commonly applied to consecutive translations and voiceovers.

    11. Linguistic Compression

    This linguistic compression technique is carried out by synthesizing linguistic elements in BSa. This one technique is the reverse technique of the linguistic amplification technique. This technique is also commonly used in simultaneous translation and subtitle translation.

    12. Literal Translation

    The literal translation technique is done by translating word for word and the translator no longer relates it to the context.

    13. Modulation (Modulation)

    The modulation technique is a translation technique that is applied by changing the point of view, focus or cognitive categories related to SL. This change in point of view can be lexical or structural.

    14. Partikularisasi (Particularization)

    This one technique is a translation technique in which the translator uses more concrete, precise, or specific terms from the superordinate to the subordinate. The particularization technique is also the reverse technique of the generalization technique.

    15. Reduction (Reduction)

    Reduction techniques, namely techniques that are applied by doing partial omissions, because this omission is considered not to recognize the distortion of meaning. In other words, imply explicit information. This technique is the reverse technique of the amplification technique.

    16. Substitution (Substitution)

    This substitution technique is a technique that is done by changing linguistic and paralinguistic elements (intonation and gestures). For example, sign language in Arabic, that is by putting your hand on your chest is translated as thank you.

    17. Transposition

    The transposition technique is a translation technique in which the translator changes categories grammatically. This type of technique is the same as the technique of shifting categories, structures and units, for example words into phrases.

    18.  Variasi (Variation)

    Variation techniques are carried out by changing linguistic and paralinguistic elements (intonation or gestures) which affect linguistic variations.

    Another Concept of the Literal

    There are several other concepts that are considered very similar to literal. Well, here is another concept that is almost literally the same, that you need to know.

    1. Interpretation

    Interpretation has the intention of explaining or commenting on an object or case. This interpretation can also refer to something more specific, namely:

    • Logical interpretation, is a representation of interpretation in formal logic language
    • Aesthetic interpretation is a way of understanding a work of art.
    • Hermeneutics is a theory of text interpretation.
    • Hermeneutics is the interpretation of the law made by judges.

    2. Transcription

    In genetics, transcription is the making of RNA, especially mRNA, by copying a portion of the DNA by the enzyme RNA polymerase. This transcription process will produce mRNA from DNA in cells which is the first step in protein synthesis.

    This transcription becomes part of the genetic expression sequence. The original understanding of transcription is transliteration and copying. This is meant by converting DNA text into RNA. Actually, the only thing that changes is the nitrogenous base thymine in the same DNA RNA is replaced by uracil.

    3. Transliteration

    Transliteration is the transfer of text from one script to another. Transliteration can be an important part of transcription that transfers texts from one writing system to another. Transliteration has nothing to do with the representative or phoneme of origin.

    Literal Example

    In order to know clearly about the literal, here is an example of a literal, namely:

    1. House
    2. Stay home

    The first example (A) is a root word that hasn’t changed. According to the Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI) the meaning of the word house is a building for residence. Meanwhile, the second example (B) is a derivative word. The second example (B) has a different meaning from the first meaning even though the basic word is similar, namely house.

    The addition of prefixes and prefixes to the word house makes the meaning of the house change from not just a building to live in but to have a building to live in. The second example is called the grammatical meaning.

    Closing

    From the discussion above it can be said that the literal is a translation. In addition, to translate several words or sentences, several techniques are needed. This really needs to be done in order to get the maximum translation results.

    This is an explanation of what is literal and the various types and techniques of translation. Hopefully all the discussions about literal meanings and techniques can be useful for you, so that it becomes easier to do literalism in a text.

  • List of Tribes in Indonesia and Their Social Institutions

    The Variety of Indonesian Ethnic Nations – Indonesia consists of around 1,340 ethnic groups spread across almost all parts of Indonesia. According to BPS data, half or 50% of ethnic groups in Indonesia are Javanese. The rest are ethnic groups living outside Java, such as the Makasarese, Bugis (3.68%), Batak 2.04%, Balinese 1.88%, Acehnese 1.4% and other tribes.

    Each tribe has different customs and norms. However, this diversity does not make the nation divided, on the contrary, diversity then unites to achieve the goal of a just and prosperous society. Check out a more complete explanation about ethnic groups in Indonesia below:

    Definition of Ethnicity

    Ethnicity is a group of people who identify themselves with others based on lineage referring to characteristics such as culture, nation, language, religion and behavior. Ethnicity is also a social group that is distinguished from other social groups, because it has the most basic and general characteristics related to its origin, place of origin, and culture.

    In another definition, ethnicity is also a special social tribe and is ascriptive or has existed since birth, and has the same style as age group and gender. Ethnic groups themselves can be grouped based on:

    • Mixed ethnicity, in which there is a mixture of races that inhabit a certain area or region. For example, the Peranakans are a mixture of Chinese and Malay races
    • Lineage, as the main factor for ethnicity. There are three lineages in Indonesia, namely the father’s lineage (patrilineal), usually in the Batak, Ambon, Timorese and others, the mother’s lineage (matrilineal), usually occurs in the Minangkabau tribe in South Sumatra and the lineage of the father and mother or parental mostly run by the Javanese.

    You can learn about various tribes and unique traditions in Indonesia that will make you chuckle in awe, shudder with horror, curiosity, and stir your mind in the book 70 Unique Traditions of Ethnic Nations in Indonesia.

    Tribes in Indonesia

    1. The Javanese

    The Javanese use Javanese in their daily speech, surveys show that only approximately 42% of Javanese use Indonesian as their everyday language, while another 28% use mixed Javanese and Indonesian, and the rest only use Javanese. .

    The Javanese language itself has different rules in terms of vocabulary and intonation based on the relationship between the speaker and the interlocutor, which is known as upload-ungguh. This aspect of language has a strong social influence in Javanese culture, and makes them very aware of their social status in society.

    In Javanese society, the kinship system is based on bilateral lineage (calculated from both sides, mother and father). With this bilateral or parental principle, a Javanese has the same extensive relationship with the family from the mother’s side as well as the father’s.

    Relatively solid kinship is usually established in descendants of one ancestor up to the third generation. However, the quality of nuclear family and extended family relationships varies from one family circle to another, depending on the conditions of each family.

    2. Sundanese

    The Sundanese, known as the Tatar Pasundan, cover the western part of the island of Java where most of their territory is included in the provinces of West Java and Banten. Derived from the root word sunda or suddha in Sanskrit which means shining, bright and white.

    The Sundanese themselves make up 5.5 percent of the total population of Indonesia as a whole. Even though they are scattered in various parts of Indonesia, most of the Sundanese people live in Banten, Jakarta and Java. The majority of this tribe is Muslim but there are also a small number of Christians, Hindus and even Sundanese Wiwitan.

    3. Batak tribe

    Tribes in Indonesia originate from North Sumatra and also tend to be scattered in various regions in Indonesia. Consisting of 3.58 of the total population of Indonesia as a whole. The Batak tribe is divided into several parts, namely the Toba Batak, Mandailing Batak, Pakpak Batak, and Karo Batak.

    The Batak tribe is one of the tribes in Indonesia that maintains its culture. They adhere to traditions and customs. Until now, customs and culture are still carried out in the social life of the Batak people and in their daily activities. Some of the prevailing Batak customs and culture are:

    • Partuturan : In the daily life of the Batak people, kinship (partuturan) is the key to their philosophy of life, namely by asking the surname of every Batak person they meet. This can be illustrated by carving 2 lizards facing each other attached to either side of the Batak house. This kinship is also a kind of great milestone to unite blood relations and determine attitudes towards others properly.
    • Mangokal Holi : A ceremonial procession that is carried out to collect the bones of the parents’ bodies which are put into a new coffin to be moved to a place provided by the family. This tradition is a hereditary heritage that aims to pay homage to the spirits of parents who have passed away. The purpose of moving the location of the bones to a new place is to get a better place than the previous place.

    4. Betawi tribe

    The Betawi tribe as a tribe whose people are descended from residents who have lived in Batavia since the 17th century and are the result of mixed blood marriages from various ethnic groups brought by the Dutch to Batavia.

    The Betawi tribe is also referred to as the original inhabitants of the Jakarta area. However, the Betawi people are scattered in other areas, such as Bogor and its surroundings. Betawi is a creole language based on Bazaar Malay plus elements of Sundanese, Balinese, languages ​​from South China (especially Hokkien), Arabic, and languages ​​from Europe, especially Dutch and Portuguese.

    Because it develops naturally, there is no clear standard structure of this language that distinguishes it from Malay, although there are some distinguishing linguistic elements, for example from the decay of the prefix me-, the use of the ending -in (influenced by Balinese), and the transition of an open /a/ sound at the end of a word becomes /e/ or /ɛ/ in some local dialects.

    Betawi itself is also famous for its culinary diversity related to the culture and traditions of eating in it which you can find in the book Culinary Betawi Selaksa Rasa & Stories which also discusses the sequence of events, ceremonies and celebrations.

    The Most Frequently Used Mathematical Formulas – Mathematics for some people is considered a subject that makes a headache and belongs to a category that is not too much interested in. Maybe this assumption is due to the unpleasant experience when learning these calculations, starting from the teacher teaching, lots of assignments or homework, classmates laughing at you when you can’t do it, and so on.

    The bad experience that was experienced became material for stories from one person to another which could have made other people afraid and considered mathematics as a difficult subject.

    Fear of mathematics can make people feel uncomfortable, stressed, and can even lead to paranoia.

    The person will feel excessive fear when learning mathematics. Myths like this must be dispelled so that people don’t feel afraid when they have to solve questions related to arithmetic.

    Mathematics does have many formulas that are used, but basically most of these formulas are often used. Mathematical formulas that are often used are usually easy to find in life.

    List of Most Often Used Mathematical Formulas

    No need to memorize math formulas, just understand them carefully because if we apply the method of memorizing formulas it might just evaporate.

    Formulas that are interpreted by rote learning models usually do not last long in memory. Imagine that there are tens to hundreds of mathematical formulas that if memorized will definitely make you dizzy and won’t last long to remember.

    On the other hand, if you use the comprehension method to remember mathematical formulas, it will be stored longer and appear in a person’s unconscious. Actually, unconsciously formulas in mathematics are often found around us.

    One of them is in the field of research where to solve the problems encountered, researchers use a lot of mathematical formulas in order to overcome existing problems.

    Then what about mathematical formulas that can be applied in other situations? Below is a list of the most frequently used mathematical formulas in everyday life.

    1. Discount formula

    Have you ever taken a walk in a shopping center to see nice clothes being sold at one of the outlets that offer discounts of up to 50%?

    For those who like shopping, they might be very interested in buying it, but have you ever calculated how much money you have to pay from the discount given. Here you need to use mathematical calculations. The mathematical formula used to calculate the discount is:

    Discount Price = (% Discount) x Item Price

    In order to better understand the discount formula, consider the following questions.

    While shopping at the mall, Raisa saw a nice dress that she wanted. When approached, it turns out that the clothing store is giving a discount of 40%. The clothes are valued at Rp. 120,000.00. How much money does Raisa have to pay to get the shirt?

    It is known that:
    Discount = 40%
    Price of clothes = IDR 120,000.00
    Discounted price = (% discount) x Goods price
    Discounted price = (40/100) x 120,000.00
    Discounted price = 48,000

    So, the discounted price of the item is Rp. 48,000.00 so that the total money Raisa has to pay is IDR 120,000.00 – IDR 48,000.00 = IDR 72,000.00.

    2. Calculating Interest in the Banking System

    The mathematical formula that is often used next is the formula for calculating bank interest. Bank interest is divided into two, namely bank interest and savings interest. Bank interest is the amount of money that must be paid from the customer to the bank as remuneration for using the facilities at the bank.

    Meanwhile, interest on savings accounts is the amount of money paid by the bank to customers for saving money in the bank. For those who often save their money in the bank, bank interest and savings interest will be obtained every month. The formula for calculating interest in the banking system is as follows:

    Interest per month = (Loan amount/number of months) x % interest

    Below is an example of calculating the amount of bank interest.

    Agnes plans to open a franchise in the form of a cafe at her college. However, he did not have enough funds, so he planned to borrow some money from the bank to run his business. Agnes borrowed a total of IDR 15,000,000.00 from Bank A and paid it in installments within one year. The bank interest rate set by Bank A is 2% per month. How much installments must Agnes pay each month?

    It is known that:
    Amount of loan = IDR 15,000,000.00
    Installments = 1 year (12 months)
    Bank interest rate = 2%
    Interest per month = (loan size/number of months) x % interest Interest
    per month = (15,000,000/12) x 2/100
    Interest per month = 25,000

    So, the amount of interest per month is IDR 25,000, so Agnes has to pay monthly installments of IDR 1,250,000.00 + IDR 25,000.00 = IDR 1,275,000.00.

    3. Formulas for Speed, Distance, and Time

    The third frequently used mathematical formula is about distance, speed, and time. We often encounter its use, for example when we ride a motorcycle from one place to another, we have to take into account how fast the motorcycle is so that we are not late.

    Then this formula can also be used to calculate trans bus queues so that every few minutes passengers can be transported from one place to another. The formula used is as follows.

    V = S/t
    Description:
    V : speed (km/hour)
    S : distance (km)
    t : time (hour)

    The formula above is a formula for calculating speed that can be developed to find distance and time.

    Time formula:
    t = S/V
    Distance formula:
    S = tx V

    To make it easier to understand this formula, consider the following two example questions

    Father now works in a well-known company in the city. There is a rule that every employee is prohibited from arriving late. Office time is 07.30 and Dad estimates that he will be at the office at 07.00 so he has to leave at 06.30. Father drives his vehicle at a speed of 50 km / hour. How far is the house from the office?

    Given:
    Time (t) = 06.30 – 07.30 = 30 minutes (1/2 hour)
    Speed ​​(V) = 50 km
    S = tx V
    S = ½ x 50
    S = 25

    So the distance between the house and the office where Dad works is 25 km.

    The city of Semarang implements a public transportation system called BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) for the people of Semarang. Every 10 minutes there must be a bus that stops at the next stop to transport people. The distance between stops is 10 km. What is the speed of the BRT so that every 10 minutes it can carry passengers at each stop?

    Given :
    Time (t) = 10 minutes (1/6 hour)
    Distance (S) = 10 km
    V = S/t
    V = 10 / 1/6
    V = 60

    Then the speed of the BRT so that every 10 minutes it stops at the next stop is 60 km/hour.

    4. Permutations and Combinations

    The four mathematical formulas that are often used are permutations and combinations. In everyday life, this formula might be useful for you to use. When you are holding a meeting at a meeting, have you ever imagined how to arrange the seats according to the order you have predicted. If you have trouble arranging them, you can use the permutation formula.

    As for what is meant by Permutation is a formula used to find out the possibility of something happening based on a predetermined sequence. Meanwhile, the combination formula is used to calculate the probability that an event will occur without regard to the sequence that may occur.

    Both permutations and combinations are used to calculate the probability of occurrence of a possibility, the difference is that permutations must pay attention to order, whereas combinations do not pay attention to order. The permutation and combination formulas are:

    Permutations :
    P (n,r) = n! / (nr)!
    Information:
    P = permutation
    n = total objects overall
    r = total objects that are used as sequences
    ! = factorial

    Combination:
    nCr = n! / (r! (nr)!)
    Information:
    C = combination
    n = total objects overall
    r = total objects observed
    ! = factorial

    To make it easier to understand what the concept of permutations and combinations looks like, consider the example questions below.

    A competition was attended by 5 teams A, B, C, D, and E to fight for the champion. The committee provides places for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners. What is the probability that the team will win the competition?

    It is known that:
    n = 5
    r = 3

    Because it takes order into account, the permutation formula
    P (n,r) = n is used! / (nr)!
    P(5,3) = 5! / (5-3)!
    P(5,3) = 5! / 2!
    P(5.3) = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 / 2 x 1
    P(5.3) = 120/2
    P(5.3) = 60

    Then there are 60 possible ways the winner will appear in the race.

    Clara will depart for Yogyakarta from Semarang today. He will go by bus. There are 6 buses ready to depart. Clara only chose 2 buses that she wanted to take. How many ways does Clara choose the bus?

    It is known that:
    N = 6
    R = 2

    Because it does not take into account the order, the combination formula
    nCr = n! / (r! (nr)!)
    6C2 = 6! / (2! (6-2)!)
    6C2 = 6! / (2! x 4!)
    6C2 = 15

    Then there are 15 ways for Clara to choose which bus she will take.

    5. Slice and Join Sets

    Slices and unions are mathematical formulas that are often used in solving problems related to sets or calculations. An intersection or intersection is a set of two parts (A and B) or more whose members include members of the same set A or B.

    Meanwhile, a union or union is a set whose members come from two sets, set A or set B. As the name implies, a union combines two sets into one. Slices are denoted by the symbol (∩) while the combined symbol is (∪). The following questions make it easier for you to understand what intersections and unions look like.

    Set A = {1, 3, 5, 6} while Set B = {1, 3, 4}. What is the intersection set and the combined set of the two?

    Given:
    A = {1, 3, 5, 6}
    B = {1, 3, 4}

    The intersection set becomes A ∩ B = {1, 3, 5} while the combined set A ∪ B = {1, 3, 4, 5, 6}

    When depicted with a diagram it will become:

    Another example is as follows:

    A food consumption survey was conducted in grade 12 of a high school in Semarang City. There are 17 students who like to eat meatballs, 23 students like to eat chicken noodles, and 10 students like both. What is the total number of students who took part in the survey?

    It is known:
    Likes meatballs = 17
    Likes chicken noodles = 23
    Likes meatballs and chicken noodles = 10 people

    When depicted with a diagram it will become:

    Because there are 10 people who like meatballs and chicken noodles, to find out students who only like chicken meatballs and noodles are deducted by 10 each.

    Only likes meatballs : 17-10 = 7 people
    Only likes chicken noodles : 23-10 = 13 people

    So the total number of students who took part in the survey was 7+10+13 = 30 students.

    6. Arithmetic Line or Series

    The last mathematical formula that is often used is arithmetic. In arithmetic, it can be classified into two, namely arithmetic rows and arithmetic series. An arithmetic row is a sequence of numbers whose differences between terms are always the same (consistent).

    While the arithmetic series is the sum of the numbers or the total number of terms that are formed in one series. You can find arithmetic lines or series when you compare your pocket money at school.

    For example, when you are in grade 1, your pocket money is Rp. 1,000.00, then when you go up to grade two, your pocket money is Rp. 3,000.00. When you are in grade 3 it becomes IDR 5,000.00. That is what is called an arithmetic row.

    Your pocket money consistently increases by Rp. 2,000.00 when you go to class. You can find an arithmetic series when you look at cinema seats, where the number of seats is different for each row, for example, the first row has 7 seats, the second row has 9 seats, and the third row has 11 seats. To find out the number of seats left, you just add each row so that there are a total of 27 seats.

    If the number of tribes or lines you are looking for is small, you can still count them, but if the number reaches hundreds, it will certainly be a headache and a hassle if you have to add them up one by one. It’s better if you use a formula to make it easier to calculate. The arithmetic row and series formulas are as follows:

    Arithmetic Row:
    Un = a + (n-1) xb

    Information:
    Un = line syllable
    a = first term
    n = many tribes
    b = difference or difference in numbers

    Arithmetic Series:
    Sn = n/2 x (a+Un)

    Information:
    Sn = number of terms
    a = first term
    n = many terms
    b = difference or difference in numbers

    To understand this, consider the following questions.

    Chelsea buys marbles every day. On Monday buy 2 marbles, Tuesday 4 marbles, Wednesday 6 marbles, and so on until Sunday. On Sunday how many marbles does Chelsea buy?

    Given:
    a = 2
    b = 2
    n = 7 (Monday-Sunday)
    Un = a + (n-1) xb
    U7 = 2 + (7-1) x 2
    U7 = 14

    So on Sunday Chelsea will buy 14 marbles.

    Dilan works as a cleaning service in a cinema building. He will clean the first building. The first row has 10 seats, the second row has 12 seats, the third row has 14 seats, and so on up to 10 rows. How many seats will Dilan clean?

    Given:
    a = 10
    b = 2
    n = 10

    Because the number of seats in the 10th row is unknown, first find the seats in the 10th row using the arithmetic row formula
    Un = a + (n-1) xb
    U10 = 10 + (10-1) x 2
    U10 = 28
    Sn = n /2 x (a+Un)
    Sn = 10/2 x (10+28)
    Sn = 190

    So, the total seats cleaned by dilan are 190.

  • √ List of Roman Numerals 1 – 2000 and How to Write them

    List of Roman Numerals and How to Write Them – Do you often pay attention to the writing of roads in addresses where there are still numbers written, for example Jl. Orchid I, don’t use the number 1. Why is that?

    Roman numerals or Roman numerals are a numbering system inherited from ancient Rome. This numbering system uses Latin letters as symbols to represent numeric numbers.

    Roman numeral function

    • Names of kings and popes, for example Elizabeth II of England, Pope Benedict XVI . This is known as the regnal number and is usually read as ordinal ; e.g. II is pronounced “the second”.
    • Generation suffixes or order of generations, especially in the US, for people who share the same name across generations, for example William Howard Taft IV.
    • In the French Republican Calendar, beginning during the French Revolution, years are numbered with Roman numerals – from the year I (1792) when it was introduced to the year XIV (1805) when it was abandoned.
    • Years of production of films, television shows, and other works of art within the work itself.
    • Hour mark on watch. In this context, 4 is often written IIII .
    • Years of construction on building surfaces and capstones.
    • Preface and preface page numbering, and sometimes appendices and appendices as well.
    • Book volume and chapter numbers, and several acts in a play (eg Act iii , Scene 2).
    • Sequel to several films, video games, and other works (as in Rocky II).
    • An outline that uses numbers to show hierarchical relationships.
    • Recurring occurrence of major events, eg: Summer and Winter Olympic Games (eg XXI Winter Olympics ; XXX Olympic Games )
    • In astronomy, the natural satellites or “moons” of planets are traditionally named with a Roman capital letter added to the planet’s name. For example, Titan’s designation is Saturn VI .
    • In chemistry, Roman numerals are often used to denote groups of the periodic table. Roman numerals are also used in inorganic nomenclature, for the oxidation number of cations that can take on several different positive charges. Roman numerals are also used for naming the phases of polymorphic crystals, such as ice.
    • In education, school grades (in terms of year groups rather than test scores) are sometimes referred to by Roman numerals; for example, “class IX” is sometimes seen for “class 9”.
    • In advanced mathematics (including trigonometry , statistics , and calculus ), when a graph includes negative numbers, the quadrants are named using I , II , III , and IV .
    • The names of these quadrants denote positive numbers on the two axes, negative numbers on the X axis, negative numbers on both axes, and negative numbers on the Y axis, respectively.
    • In the designation of military units, roman numerals are often used to distinguish units at different levels. This reduces the possibility of confusion, especially when viewing operational or strategic level maps.
    • Using Roman numerals to denote quadrants avoids confusion, as Arabic numerals are used for the actual data represented on the graph.
    • In particular, army corps were often numbered using Roman numerals (eg the American XVIII Airborne Corps or WW2-era German Panzerkorps III) with Arabic numerals used for divisions and troops.
    • Numbers in this system are represented by combinations of letters from the Latin alphabet. Modern usage uses seven symbols, each with a fixed integer value
    • In law , roman numerals are usually used to help organize legal codes as part of an alphanumeric outline .
    • Recurring occurrence of major events, eg:
      Summer and Winter Olympic Games (eg XXI Winter Olympics ; XXX Olympic Games )

    History of Roman Numerals

    One hypothesis states that the Roman numerals originated from scratched counts and were used by Italian and Dalmatian herders until the 19th century.

    Although Roman numerals were written with the letters of the Roman alphabet, Roman numerals were originally independent symbols.

    Etruscan, for example, uses 𐌠, 𐌡, 𐌢, ⋔, 𐌚, and ⊕ to write I, V, X, L, C, and M, meaning that only I and X are letters in their alphabet.

    Therefore, (I) does not come from the letter (I), but from a vertical notch on the counting stick. Every multiple of five is double cut, eg ⋀, ⋁, ⋋, ⋌, etc., and every tenth is cross cut (X), (IIIIΛIIIIXIIIIΛIIIIXII…), more like the marks of today’s European talli.

    This results in a system of positions: The eight on the tally stick is eight talli, IIIIΛIII. In another way, it can be shortened to ΛIII (or VIII), since the presence of Λ implies there have been four previous notches.

    Furthermore, eighteen is the eighth thalli after the first ten thalli, which can be abbreviated as X, and becomes XΛIII. Similarly, the number four on a stick is the I notch before the Λ (V) cut, so it can be written as IIII or IΛ (IV).

    Hence, the concept of this system is not addition or subtraction, but sequence (ordinal). When the talli were turned into writing, the signs that were not difficult to identify with the Roman letters at that time were I, V, and X.

    In talli, the tenth V or X receives an additional stroke. Thus, 50 is written with variations such as N, И, K, Ψ, ⋔, etc., but perhaps the most common is the form of a chicken claw such as the overlapping V and I: ᗐ.

    The shape was then straight up as ⊥ (an inverted T) until Augustus’ reign, and soon thereafter identified with its graphically resembling letter L.

    Similarly, 100 is written in variations of Ж, ⋉, ⋈, H, or with the symbols for 50 as described above plus an extra stroke.

    The Ж shape (the overlapping X and I) then becomes the dominant shape. The form was then written with variations >I< or ƆIC, then shortened to Ɔ or C, until finally the C variation was chosen because C stands for centum, Latin for “hundred”.
    The use of Roman numerals continued long after the fall of the Roman Empire. From the 14th century, Roman numerals began to be replaced by Arabic numerals; However, this process was gradual, and the use of Roman numerals persists in some applications to this day.

    Hmm.. reading history is quite long and complicated, isn’t it.

    Roman numeral characters

    As previously discussed, writing Roman numerals consists of several characters. However, when writing Roman numerals, do not use zero or you could say zero has no character.

    This Roman numeral character can be divided into units of tens, hundreds, thousands, and so on. Any of these positions will not affect the Roman numerals. To be more clear, you can see the following examples. number 1 (I), number 10 (X), number 100 (C), number 1000 (M).

    List of Years in Roman Numerals

    Maybe you will write the year in Roman numerals, so below is a table for the years from 1950 – 2050 in Roman numerals. Hope it is useful :

    How to Read Roman Numerals

    For some people who may not be able to read Roman numerals, below, several steps will be explained to read Roman numerals.

    1. Letters or Number Symbols on the Left are Bigger than those on the Right

    If the letter or symbol to the right of the number is larger, it is called addition. For example the number VI where V is the number 5 which then adds the number 1 to the number 6.

    2. Letters or Number Symbols on the Left are Smaller than those on the Right

    If the letter or symbol to the right of the number is larger, then it is called subtraction. For example the number IV or the number 4. In the Roman numeral IV, the symbol I is smaller than the symbol for the number V.

    How to Write Roman Numerals

    Here are some ways to write roman numerals:

    1. The Easiest Way to Convert from Numbers to Roman

    The simplest way is to use a converter, we just need to write the numbers and  the Roman numerals will appear automatically. Here is a list of sites that we can use to convert numbers into Roman format:

    • https://romannumerals.site/
    • https://www.calculatorsoup.com/calculators/conversions/roman-numeral-converter.php
    • https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/date-to-roman-numerals.html

    2. Manual way

    How do you write Roman numerals? here’s how to write the first roman numeral grouping the thousands, hundreds, or ones numbers.

    Then we look at the mathematical operational system whether addition, subtraction, repetition or mixture.

    a. Sum System

    If there is a Roman numeral consisting of two or more numbers, with the number on the left being more than or equal to the number on the right, then the number arrangement uses the addition system:

    Example 1 :

    The number 6 = VI
    V = 5
    I = 1
    V the number is greater than 1, so the operational addition of
    VI = 5 + 1 = 6

    Example 2 :

    LXVII

    L = 50
    X = 10
    V = 5
    I= 1
    I= 1
    50 > 10 > 5 > 1
    then the operational addition of
    LXVII = 50 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 1 = 67

    b. Reduction System

    If there is a Roman numeral consisting of two or more numbers, with the number on the left less than the number on the right, then the number arrangement uses a subtraction system.

    Example 1 :

    IV

    I = 1
    V = 5
    1 < 5
    then
    IV = 5 – 1 = 4

    Example 2 :

    XL
    X = 10
    L = 50
    10 < 50
    then
    XL = 50 – 10 = 40

    c. Repetition system

    Is a writing system by repeating the same number in sequence.

    Example:

    III = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3

    XXX= 10+10+10 = 30

    CC = 100 + 100 = 200

    d. Mixed System

    Is a writing system that combines the three previous systems:

    Example 1:

    XCVIII = XC + VIII
    X = 10
    C = 100
    X < C
    then the operation is reduction
    X – C = 100 – 10
    = 90
    V = 5
    III = 1+1+1 = 3
    5 > 3
    then the operational addition is
    VIII = 8
    XC = 90
    VIII = 8
    90 > 8
    , the operational addition of
    XCVIII = 90 + 8 = 98

    Example 2 :

    MDCCCXLVII = M + DCCC + XL + VII
    M = 1000
    DCCC
    D= 500
    CCC = 100 + 100 + 100
    = 300
    DCCC = 500 + 300
    = 800
    X= 10
    L = 50
    10 < 50
    then the operation is reduction
    XL = 50 -10
    = 40
    VII
    V = 5
    II = 1+1= 2
    5 > 2
    then the operation is the addition of
    VII = 5+ 2
    = 7
    so
    MDCCCXLVII
    M = 1000
    DCCC = 800
    XL = 40
    VII = 7
    1000 > 800 > 40 >7
    then operational all are the sum
    MDCCCXLVII = 1800+40+ 7
    = 1847

    Roman Numeral Operation Example

    1. Roman numeral 9

    IX
    I = 1
    X = 10
    1 < 9
    then the operational reduction
    IX = 10 – 1
    = 9

    2. Roman numeral 23

    XXIII
    XX = 10 + 10
    = 20
    III = 1 + 1 + 1
    = 3
    20 > 3
    then the operational addition of
    XXII = 20 + 3
    = 23

    3. Roman numeral 29

    XXIX
    XX = 10 + 10
    = 20

    IX
    I = 1
    X = 10
    1 < 10
    , then the operational reduction
    IX = 10 – 1 = 9
    XX = 10 + 10
    = 20

    IX = 9
    20 > 9

    then the operational addition is 20 + 9
    = 29

    4. Roman numeral 35

    XXXIV
    XXX = 10 + 10 + 10
    = 30
    IV
    I= 1
    V = 5
    1 < 5
    then the operation is subtraction
    IV = 5-1
    = 4
    XXX = 30
    IV = 4
    30 > 4
    then the operation is addition
    XXXIV = 30 + 5
    = 35

    5. Roman numeral 127

    CXXVII
    C = 100
    XX = 10 + 10
    = 20
    VII = 5 + 2
    = 7
    so 20 > 7
    , the operational addition
    CXXVII = 100 + 20 + 7

    6. Roman numeral 49

    XCIX
    XC
    X = 10
    C = 50
    10 < 50
    then the operational reduction
    XC = 50 – 10 = 40

    IX
    I = 1
    X = 10
    1 < 10, then the operational reduction
    IX = 10 – 1
    = 9

    XC = 40
    IX = 9
    40 > 9
    , so the operational addition is
    XCIX = 40 + 9
    = 49

    7. Roman numeral 74

    LXXIV
    L = 50
    XX = 10 + 10
    = 20
    is also tens
    50 > 20
    LXX = 50 + 20
    = 70
    IV
    I = 1
    V = 5
    1 < 5
    IV = 5 – 1
    = 4
    LXXIV = 50 + 20 + 4
    = 74

    8. Roman Anka 624

    DCXXIV
    D = 500
    C = 100
    DC = 500 + 100
    = 600
    XX = 10 + 10
    = 20
    IV
    I = 1
    V = 5
    IV = 5-1
    = 4
    DCXXIV = 600 + 20 + 4
    = 624

    9. Roman numeral 753

    DCCLIII
    D = 500
    CC = 100 + 100
    = 200
    DCC = 500 + 200
    = 700
    L = 50
    III = 1 + 1 + 1
    = 3
    DCCLIII = 700 + 50 + 3
    = 753

    The Roman numeral which has the smallest value is…

    then the operational addition of
    LXIII = 50 + 10+ 5 = 65

    CX
    C = 100
    X = 10
    100 > 10
    then the operational addition

    1999 = MCMXCIX

    So, that’s a discussion of Roman numerals, complete with sample questions. Roman numerals really feel complicated when writing yes, because there are many letters to represent numbers. that’s probably the reason roman numerals aren’t used much anymore.

    Then since the emergence of modern numbers, Roman numerals are no longer widely used. One reason is that there is no 0 in Roman numerals. This is considered to make the development of mathematical systems difficult.

    There are no zeros what would be the calculation. After all, who said the number zero is nothing? it turns out that the number zero means you know!

    “The gift of the living to those who have died is prayer and asking Allah for forgiveness (istighfar) for them.”

The person who died will wait for prayers from their children, parents, relatives and also relatives and friends. When they have got it, they will like it more than the world and everything in it.

    “It was narrated from the Prophet SAW, he said, ‘There is no dead body in his grave unless he is like a drowning person asking for help – kal ghoriqil mughawwats with the vowel fathah on the letter wawu which is tasydid, that is, the person asking for help – he is waiting for a drop of prayer that sent by their children, relatives or friends. Therefore when he gets a prayer, then it is more to his liking than the world and all in it.”

    Meanwhile, Ibnu Qoyyum in his book entitled Ar-Ruh also reveals that the most important gift we can give to a dead person or someone who has died is alms, istighfar reading and also prayer, and pilgrimage for those who can afford it.

    8. Prayer for People Who Died According to the Sunnah

    The following is a prayer that is read during the funeral prayer after the 3rd takbir. However, it can also be read outside of the funeral prayer, such as when giving thanks.

Wa abdilhu daran khairan min darihi, wa ahlan khairan min jasahi, wa zaujan khairan min zaujihi, wa adkhilhul jannata, wa a’idzhu min adzabil qabri, wa adzabin nari.

    It means: “O Allah! Forgive the deceased (corpse), give him your mercy, welfare, and forgive his mistakes and place it in a glorious place (Heaven), widen his grave, bathe him with water, snow and ice water. Cleanse him from all faults, as You clean a white garment from dirt. Replace a house that is better than his home (on earth), a family (or wife in Heaven) that is better than his family (on earth), a wife (or husband) that is better than his wife (or husband), and put him in Heaven, protect him from the torment of the grave and hell.”

    The Law of Praying for the Dead

    As a Muslim, Islam strongly recommends that we always care about each other. This includes our Muslim brothers who have passed away. We can show this form of concern by praying for that person. In fact, it is highly recommended in Islam. Imam al-Nawawi in the book Al-Adzkar also revealed that the scholars had agreed on the prayers that were read to people who had died. Where the rewards and benefits can reach them. This opinion is further strengthened by the following arguments which mean:

    Surah Al-Hasyr Verse 10

    The first proposition is derived from the Al-Quran through the following letter Al-Hashr verse 10:

    Meaning: “And those who came after them (Muhajirin and Ansar), they prayed, “O our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who have believed before us, and do not instill envy in our hearts against people -people of faith. O our Lord, Truly, You are Most Forbearing, Most Merciful.” (QS. Al-Hashr: 10).

    Prophet’s Hadith

    The next proposition is that it comes from the Prophet Muhammad SAW, who when he was alive once recited a prayer for a Muslim who died, the following is his reading.

    Allahummaghfirli wa la hu (ha) wa’qibni min hu (ha) ‘uqbaa hasanah.

    Meaning: “O Allah, forgive the sins of Ahlul Baqi’ al-Gharqad.”

    Through the two arguments that we have discussed above, we can conclude that praying for people who have died is one form that is highly recommended in Islam. OIeh because of that, often pray for people who have died, be it family members or relatives of fellow Muslims. Because by doing so, Allah SWT will provide relief from sins and will provide the best place in the afterlife.

    Benefits of Praying for People Who Have Passed Away

    Praying is part of the Islamic religious orders to each of its followers. Not only praying for yourself and also others, but praying for people who have died. This is because praying for people who have died has many special benefits.

    In a hadith of Abu Darda, Rasulullah saw said:

    “It is not a Muslim praying for his brother when (the person being prayed for) is not around except the angels will say, ‘It is like that for you too’.” (HR. Muslim).

    People who have died are likened to people who have drowned. They will certainly ask for help which in this case is a prayer. They are looking forward to this prayer as one of the helpers. Where the prayer that is said can come from his descendants, relatives, or friends. Rasulullah said:

    The idea of ​​starting NATO itself was none other than France and England. The two countries founded NATO because they were concerned about tensions between the two main political camps, namely the Western Bloc and the Eastern Bloc.

    Later, the United States and other western European countries were concerned about the expansion of the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe. The process of forming the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) itself began with the Dunkirk agreement in 1947 between Britain and France. However, in its development, NATO member countries have been dominated by Western Bloc countries with liberal views.

    Towards 1949, 12 member countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) agreed to sign the formation of NATO which was held in Washington DC, United States. The 12 countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) include the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Denmark, Iceland and Norway.

    The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is a military alliance organization between many countries consisting of 2 countries in North America, as well as 29 European countries, and 1 Eurasian country with the aim of maintaining mutual security and was founded in 1949 and as a form of support for the North Atlantic Treaty and was signed in Washington, DC on April 4, 1949. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was originally aimed at suppressing the influence of communist ideology from the Soviet Union and its alliance, namely the Warsaw Pact during the Cold War era.

    The main article of this agreement itself is Article V, which reads: ” The members agree that any armed attack on one or more of them in Europe or in North America will be considered as an attack on all members .” Furthermore, they agree that if this armed attack occurs, then each member can exercise the right of self-defense individually or collectively as stated in this Article.

    If a member of the Warsaw Pact launched an attack on the European allies of the UN, this would then be considered an attack on all members (including the United States itself), which has the greatest military power in the alliance and would provide the greatest retaliatory action. However, fears of the possibility of an attack from Western Europe did not materialize.

    This article has only been used for the first time in history on September 12, 2001, as a response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the US that occurred the day before. However, since the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact and the breakup of the Soviet Union, they then formed the successor organization to the Warsaw Pact, namely to counterbalance NATO and named CSTO.

    CSTO or is a Collective Security Treaty Organization. Meanwhile, in English, CSTO stands for Collective Security Treaty Organization . Those who joined the CSTO organization were several ex-Soviet Union states as well as several former Warsaw Pact Organization member countries.

    Membership Action Plan ( Membership Action Plan )

    The biggest step taken in formalizing the process was to invite new members to come to the 1999 Washington summit. The approval of the Membership Action Plan (MAP) mechanism was the first step for current NATO members. In addition, the MAP also aims to review the formal applications of prospective members on a regular basis.

    A country’s participation in the MAP itself requires the presentation of an annual report on its progress in five different measures, namely:

    1. Willingness to resolve international territorial disputes, ethnic or external problems by peaceful means.
    2. Committed to the rule of law and human rights (HAM) and the democratic control of the armed forces.
    3. Have the ability to contribute to defense as well as an organizational mission
    4. Dedication of sufficient resources to the armed forces to meet membership commitments.
    5. Can maintain the security of sensitive information, and can provide protection that ensures compatibility of domestic legislation with the cooperation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

    The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) also provides technical feedback and suggestions for each country and evaluates its progress individually. NATO members themselves also have the commitment that if any of their members are attacked by another country, then other member countries will come to their aid.

    For countries that wish to become NATO members through the invitation route, they will usually go through several stages, namely:

    1. After each NATO member agrees that a country (which will get an invitation to become a member of NATO) meets the requirements.
    2. Then, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) can extend an invitation to the country to begin accession talks.
    3. The final accession process, once invited, then involves five steps towards signing the accession protocol as well as acceptance and ratification of the protocol by the current NATO member government.

Pupuh is a form of traditional Javanese poetry that has a certain rhyme for each line and a number of syllables. Each pupuh then has the same meter which depends on the character of the text content told in the macapat song. 

    So, each stanza in the macapat song has a guru gatra structure which includes a number of wilangan teachers and ends with a song teacher. The following is an explanation of the structure of the macapat song that Sinaumed’s needs to know:

    1. Guru Gatra : The number of lines or arrays of sentences in one stanza of the macapat song
    2. Wilangan teacher : The number of syllables in each line or array of sentences
    3. Teacher Song : The sound of vocals at the end of each poem in each line or array of sentences

    THE HISTORY OF THE MACAPAT TEMPLE

    The appearance of the macapat song has a historical record, although there is no definite discovery regarding the appearance of the first macapat song. That is why there are many versions of the history of the Macapat song as follows: 

    1. Peugeud’s opinion

    According to Pegeud, the appearance of the macapat song was at the end of the Majapahit kingdom and since the influence of Walisongo. Peugeud’s opinion only refers to the emergence of macapat songs in Central Java because the history of macapat songs in East Java and Bali is thought to have existed before the arrival of Islam. 

    This can be seen from the text entitled Kidung Ranggalawe from Bali and East Java which was written around 1334 AD. The work is known from the most recent version from Bali

    2. Opinion of Purbatjaraka and Karseno Saputra

    Poerbatjaraka argues that the macapat song first appeared together with Central Javanese poetry. This opinion was later reinforced by Karseno Saputra who said this: 

    “The metric pattern used by the macapat song is the same as the metric pattern for the middle song. If the macapat song grows together with the middle song, then it can be estimated that the macapat song has been born among the people who enjoy literary works, at least in 1541 AD “

    This estimate is based on the year in the Song of Subrata and Rasa Dadi Jalma, namely 1643 or 1541 AD. In that year, poetry in Old Javanese, Middle Javanese, and New Javanese, such as kakawin, kidung, and the macapat song, has lived and developed. 

    3. Zoetmulder Opinion

    Zoetmulder believes that the macapat song begins to appear according to the estimated year in the Song of Subrata above. Namely, it appeared around the XVII century where three Javanese languages ​​were used at that time, namely Old Javanese, Middle Javanese and New Javanese. 

    4. Tedjohadi Sumarto

    According to Tedjo Hadi Sumarmo (1958) in Mbombong manah shows that the macapat song includes 11 matrums created by King Dewa Wisesa (Pramu from Banjarmasin)) in Segaluh 1191 Javanese year or 1279 AD. 

    5. Laginem

    Referring to Leginem (1996), the macapat song was not only written by one person, but by several saints and nobles as follows: 

    1. Sunan Giri Kedaton
    2. Sunan Giri Prapen
    3. Sunan Bonan
    4. Sunan Gunung Jati
    5. Sunan Mayapada
    6. Sunan Kali Jaga
    7. Sunan Drajat
    8. Sunan Kudus
    9. Sunan Geseng
    10. Sunan Bejagung

After that, the governor will recommend to the Ministry of Social Affairs which will be forwarded to the President. The President is represented by the Titles Council.

    The Degree Council is made up of two academics, some from military backgrounds and some who have previously received an award or degree. In the final step, the President will elect a representative from the Title Council to bestow the title. The ceremony for conferring the title of hero is always held on Heroes’ Day, November 10, this has been done since 2000.

The European continent stretches from the North Pole to the Mediterranean Sea in the south and from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the Ural mountains in Russia in the east.

Among the 51 countries there are countries across Europe and Asia continents such as Russia, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Turkey. Then what are the 51 countries in Europe? Check out the following list of countries in Europe!

    List of Countries in Europe

    Before knowing the list of countries in Europe, it’s better if Sinaumed’s knows better about the European continent first. Europe is geographically and geologically a peninsula or a peninsula or a subcontinent.

    Separation of Europe as a continent due to cultural differences. The northern boundary is the Arctic Ocean, the western is the Atlantic Ocean and the south is bounded by the Mediterranean Sea. Meanwhile, the boundary in the east is still unclear, because the separation of the European continent was initiated due to cultural factors. However, the boundaries that are often used as boundaries between the continents of Europe and Asia are the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea.

    Although the European continent is the second smallest continent after Australia, the European continent is in third place as the continent with the most population, below the continents of Asia and Africa with a total population of 742.5 million in 2013 or the same as one-eighth of the world’s population.

    As already explained that the continent of Europe includes 51 independent countries. The following is a list of countries in Europe and their capitals.

    List of European Countries Joining the European Union

    The European Union, or better known as the EU abbreviation, is an intergovernmental organization as well as a supranational organization whose members are countries in the European continent. As of 31 January 2020, the European Union has 27 member states.

    The Union of the European Union was founded on that name and came under the European Union Agreement better known as the Maastricht Agreement in 1992. However, there are many aspects of the European Union that arose before that year, through its previous organization i.e. back in the 1950s .

    The European Union’s international organizations work through a mix of supranational as well as intergovernmental systems. In several fields, decisions are made by way of deliberation and consensus between member countries. Meanwhile, in other fields, these supranational organizations carry out their responsibilities without the need to seek approval from member countries.

    The main organs of the EU organization are the European Commission, the Council of the European Union, the Council of Europe, the European Court of Justice and the European Central Bank. In addition to this important organ, the European Union also has a European Parliament whose members are directly elected by the citizens of its member countries.

    Previously, the European Union had the name European Economic Community, then changed to the European Community and changed again until it became the name of the European Union. The change in the name of this organization is a sign that the organization of the European Union has also changed. From what used to be an organization of economic units to a political unit. This change is also marked by the increasing number of policies within the European Union.

    European Union Country Cooperation Policy

    By changing the name of this organization, the European Union also has a main policy that includes a number of different cooperation. Here’s an explanation.

    1. Make decisions in an autonomous way: the member states of the European Union have given the European Commission the power to make decisions in certain areas. Examples include competition law, control of state aid and liberalization.
    2. Harmonization: the laws of the member states of the European Union organization are harmonized through an EU legislative process which will involve the European Commission, the European Parliament and the EU Council. With this legal harmonization, EU law will increasingly be felt in the system of each member country.
    3. Cooperative: member states that meet as the Council of the European Union agree to work together and coordinate policies in their countries.

    European Union External Policy

    In addition to the EU policies described above, there are external policies set by EU organizations, along with their explanations.

    1. An external tariff with customs and equal position in international trade negotiations.
    2. Funding for programs in prospective member countries as well as other Eastern European countries and assistance to many developing countries with the Phare and Tacis programmes.
    3. Establish a single market for the European Energy Community through the Southeast European Energy Community Agreement.

    Advantages of Being a Member of the European Union

    With these policies, the 27 European countries that join the European Union will benefit as follows:

    • Stable community membership, democracy, security and prosperity.
    • Stimulus on GDP growth and more jobs as well as higher wages and pensions.
    • The internal market will grow as well as more domestic demand.
    • Have freedom of movement of labor, services, goods and capital.
      Can access free to 450 million consumers.

    What are the lists of European countries that are members of this European Union international organization? There are 27 countries that are members of which are as follows.

    Austria, Belgium, Kriasia, Republic of Cyprus. Czech Republic. Denmark. Estonia. Finland. French. German. Greece. Hungary. Ireland. Italy. Latvia. Lithuania. Luxembourg. Malta. Dutch. Poland. Portugal. Romania. Slovakia. Slovenia. Spanish. Sweden.

    Parts of Continental Europe

    Sinaumed’s needs to know that the European continent is divided into several regions according to their location according to the four cardinal points, namely Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Southern Europe and Northern Europe. British Isles, often considered part of Western Europe. The following is an explanation of each part of the European continent.

    Eastern Europe

    According to the definition of the United Nations, countries that are in the Eastern European region are Belarus, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Moldova, Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine and the western part of the Russian Federation.

    After World War II ended in 1945, Europe was then divided into Western Europe and Eastern Europe by the Iron Curtain. Eastern Europe then fell under the influence of the Soviet Union, separating it from western Europe.

    When the Soviet Union collapsed around 1991, all of the Soviet Republics that were on the border with Eastern Europe declared their independence from Russia, then united with the rest of Europe.

    With the collapse of the Soviet Union, cooperation grew between Eastern Europe and Western Europe. The formation of the European Union or EU acts as the main European political and economic entity.

    Western Europe

    The UN defines parts of Western Europe in a similar way to when it defined the Cold War, but the UN excludes the UK, Scandinavian countries, Portugal, Spain, Greece and Italy. According to the UN, there are also countries in the Western European region, namely Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, the Netherlands, Switzerland.

    Even so, there are several other opinions which suggest geographically that the region of Western Europe also includes Southern Europe, Northern Europe, Central Europe and the British Isles. Regions and countries included in Western Europe are Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Denmark, Faroe Islands, Finland, France, Monaco, Gibraltar, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta , Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Slovenia Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Yugoslavia.

    Northern Europe

    Traditionally, countries in Northern Europe have included Finland, Iceland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The countries above are often referred to as the Nordic countries.

    There are also other regions and countries that are included in Northern Europe when viewed geographically, namely Aland Island. Channel Islands (Guernsey, Jersey, Sark). Estonia, Faroe Islands, Ireland. Isle of Man, Latvia, Lithuania, Svalbard & Jan Mayen Islands, United Kingdom of Great Britain & North Island.

    Southern Europe

    The last area of ​​the European continent is Southern Europe which includes three large peninsulas that stretch from the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. Countries in Southern Europe are Albania, Andorra, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Gibraltar, Greece, Vatican, Italy, Malta, Montenegro, Portugal, San Marino. Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Macedonia.

    That is an explanation of the list of countries in Europe along with their capitals and official languages. If Sinaumed’s is interested in knowing countries in other continents such as Asia or Australia, Sinaumed’s can find further information by reading books.

  • List of BPUPKI Members: Formation, Session to Dissolution of BPUPKI

    Members of BPUPKI – Investigating Agency for Preparatory Efforts for Indonesian Independence (BPUPKI) as an organization formed by the Japanese government as an effort to liberate Indonesia.

    At that time, Japan suffered defeat in the Pacific War. This body itself has 62 members chaired by Radjiman Wedyodiningrat and the deputy chairmen are Hibangase Yosio and RP Soeroso. BPUPKI was then inaugurated on May 28, 1945 with the hoisting of the Hinomaru flag and followed by the Red and White flag. This in itself further aroused the enthusiasm of the members to liberate Indonesia.

    Check out a more complete explanation of BPUPKI starting from the definition, history, results of sessions 1 and 2, to the following history of its dissolution.

    Formation of BPUPKI

    BPUPKI or the Investigative Agency for Preparatory Efforts for Indonesian Independence is a body formed by the Japanese as an effort to gain support from the Indonesian nation.

    In Japanese, BPUPKI itself is also known as ‘ Dokuritsu Junbi Cosakai ‘. The establishment of the Investigating Agency for Preparatory Efforts for Indonesian Independence or BPUPKI aims for mutual benefit. The main purpose of establishing BPUPKI itself is to study, explore, and investigate various basic forms that are suitable to meet the various interests of the post-independence Indonesian state government system.

    So, the Investigative Agency for Preparatory Efforts for Indonesian Independence or BPUPKI was established with the aim of preparing for the process of Indonesian independence.

    Meanwhile with regard to Japan, the purpose of forming the BPUPKI was to attract the sympathy of the Indonesian people so that they would then assist Japan in the war against the Allies by giving promises of independence to Indonesia. Japan, which is currently involved in World War II, then needs a lot of support. The formation of BPUPKI by the Japanese themselves was 100 percent sincere to give Indonesia independence, but also to get support.

    The main task of BPUPKI is to study, investigate, and prepare various matters relating to political, economic, governance aspects, as well as important matters needed in the effort to form an independent Indonesian state.

    During BPUPKI’s existence, it has conducted two sessions. From these two sessions, several points were formulated. For more details about BPUPKI, find out the history of its establishment, the members and the results of the trial. The following is a summary of the history of the formation of the BPUPKI, its members and the results of the session.

    BPUPKI was first formed by the Japanese government on March 1, 1945, to coincide with Emperor Hirohito’s birthday. This institution was then formed as an effort to gain support from the Indonesian nation, by promising that Japan would then assist the process of Indonesian independence.

    BPUPKI has 67 members chaired by Dr. Kanjeng Raden Tumenggung (KRT) Radjiman Wedyodiningrat, as well as deputy chairman Ichibangase Yosio (who is Japanese) and Raden Pandji Soeroso. Apart from BPUPKI members, an Administrative Body with 60 members was also formed.

    This Administrative Body was then led by Raden Pandji Soeroso and deputy Mr. Abdoel Gafar Pringgodigdo and Masuda Toyohiko (Japanese). BPUPKI’s own task is to study and investigate matters related to political, economic, governance aspects, as well as matters needed in the effort to form an independent Indonesian state. In 1944, Saipan fell to the Allies.

    Likewise with the Japanese troops in Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and the Marshall Islands, which were beaten back by the Allied forces. Thus, the entire Japanese defense line in the Pacific was destroyed and the shadow of Japan’s defeat appeared.

    Furthermore, the Japanese then experienced various air attacks on the cities of Ambon, Manado, and Makassar, and Surabaya. Even the allied troops have also landed in oil areas, such as Tarakan and Balikpapan.

    In this critical situation, on March 1, 1945, Lieutenant General Kumakici Harada as the leader of the Japanese occupation government in Java, then announced the formation of the Investigative Body for Preparatory Efforts for Indonesian Independence (Dokuritsu Junbi Cosakai).

    The establishment of this body actually aims to investigate important matters relating to the establishment of an independent Indonesian state. The appointment of this administrator was then announced on April 29, 1945. Dr. KRT Radjiman Wediodiningrat was then appointed chairman (Kaico).

    Meanwhile, the first Young Leader (Fuku Kaico) was appointed by the name Icibangase. Then RP Suroso who was appointed as Head of the Secretariat was assisted by Toyohito Masuda and Mr. AG Pringgodigdo. BPUPKI itself was disbanded on August 7, 1945 because its tasks had been completed.

    After BPUPKI was formed, BPUPKI officially held two meetings. The first trial was held on 29 May-1 June 1945. Meanwhile the second trial was held on 10 July-17 July 1945. From these two sessions, several points were formulated.

    BPUPKI First Session Results

    At the first session of the BPUPKI then discussed the basic formulation of the Republic of Indonesia. During the first session of the BPUPKI, the agenda itself included listening to speeches from three main figures of the Indonesian national movement.

    The three figures who conveyed their ideas about the foundation of the Republic of Indonesia, including Prof. Mohammad Yamin, SH, Prof. Dr. Soepomo, and Ir. Sukarno. At the trial held on May 29, 1945, Prof. Mohammad Yamin, SH then put forward the idea regarding the formulation of the five basic principles of the Republic of Indonesia , including:

    • National Fairy
    • Humanity Fairy
    • Divine Fairy
    • Citizen Fairy
    • People’s welfare

    Then at the hearing on May 31, 1945, Prof. Dr. Soepomo again put forward his ideas regarding the formulation of the five basic principles of the Republic of Indonesia, which are called the ‘ Basic Principles of an Independent Indonesian State ‘, which include:

    • Unity
    • familial
    • Inner balance
    • discussion

    • Indonesian Nationality
    • Internationalism and Humanity
    • Consensus or Democracy
    • Social welfare
    • Belief in the One and Only God From several suggestions, belonging to Ir. Sukarno who
    • accepted and given the name Pancasila.

    These five formulations were then used as the ideology and foundation of the Indonesian state.

    The period between the First and Second BPUPKI Sessions

    After the first BPUPKI session was over, there was no agreement on the basis of the Republic of Indonesia. Because of this, a Committee of Nine was formed to ensure and obtain a decision from the previous idea regarding the formulation of the basis of the state. The membership composition of the Committee of Nine includes the following.

    • The first Committee of Nine members were Ir. Sukarno (served as chairman)
    • The first member of the Committee of Nine was Drs. Mohammad Hatta (served as deputy chairman)
    • The first member of the Committee of Nine was Mr. Raden Achmad Soebardjo Djojoadisoerjo (serving as Member)

    • The first member of the Committee of Nine was Haji Agus Salim (serving as Member)
    • The first member of the Committee of Nine was Mr. Alexander Andries Maramis (serving as Member)

    The people who were members of the Committee of Nine then held a meeting on June 22, 1945. It was at this meeting that the basic formulation of the Republic of Indonesia was produced, which later became known as the Jakarta Charter. In the Jakarta Charter, the foundations of the Republic of Indonesia include the following:

    • Belief in God with the obligation to carry out Islamic law for its adherents
    • Just and civilized humanity
    • the unity of Indonesia
    • Population led by wisdom in representative deliberations.
    • Social justice for all the people of Indonesia. This draft was subsequently finalized during the second BPUPKI trial which was held from 10 July 1945.

    The Birth of Pancasila: Collection of BPUPKI Speeches (2017)

    The New Order regime once tried to erase history by rejecting the notion that Soekarno was a digger of Pancasila. In fact, who is more accurately described as a digger of Pancasila, Muhammad Yamin or Sukarno?

    This book is a recording of BPUPKI’s speeches when the committee held a meeting to prepare the basis for an independent Indonesia. Thus, this book contains the process of the birth of Pancasila, which began with speeches and debates among the Founding Fathers of the Nation.

    By reading the main thoughts of the founding fathers when formulating the basis of the independent Indonesian state, we can know how clear and original their thoughts were. Thus we can also conclude, who actually is more worthy of being called the initiator of the birth of Pancasila.

    The Essence of Pancasila and Citizenship Education

    The essence of Pancasila and Citizenship Education is a combination of learning about the values ​​of Pancasila and citizenship which generally citizens need to know.

    In particular, it needs to be understood and studied by the tertiary community according to the norms and standards that have philosophical value.

    List of ASEAN Countries – Countries in the world are spread across six continents, namely Asia, Africa, South America, North America, Europe and Australia. The Asian continent itself is divided into 5 regions, namely East Asia, West Asia (Middle East), Central Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia.

    Each region has an organization that oversees the countries in it, including Southeast Asia. The Southeast Asian region has an organization called ASEAN. What is ASEAN? The following is an explanation of ASEAN and a list of ASEAN countries that have joined to date.

    What is ASEAN?

    ASEAN is an abbreviation of the Association of Southern Asian Nations or can be translated as an association of Southeast Asian nations. Founded on August 8, 1967 in the city of Bangkok, Thailand, ASEAN has become the umbrella for Southeast Asian countries to build progress. Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand are the founding fathers or founders of ASEAN. At the time of its establishment, the five countries sent their respective representatives.

    Indonesia was represented by Adam Malik, Malaysia was represented by Tun Abdul Razak, the Philippines was represented by Narcisco Ramos, S. Rajaratnam as the envoy from Singapore, and Thailand by Thanat Khoman. The five signed an agreement called the ASEAN Declaration. In the declaration, the contents agreed to establish an association of Southeast Asian countries to work hand-in-hand to achieve mutual prosperity and progress.

    List of ASEAN Countries

    Until now, there are 10 countries listed in the list of ASEAN countries. What are the profiles and reviews of each country like. Check out the discussion below.

    1. Indonesian

    Being a country with the largest area in Southeast Asia, makes Indonesia the most populous country in the list of ASEAN countries. Indonesia has an area of ​​approximately 1,919,400 km2 for land and around 3,273,810 km2 for sea area.

    The total population of Indonesia based on the latest population administration data in June 2021 was recorded at 272,229,372 people, of which 137,521,557 people were male and 134,707,815 for women. In addition, Indonesia has earned the nickname as an archipelagic country because the islands that are spread across the archipelago total approximately 16,056.

    The islands in Indonesia which are listed as major islands include Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Papua. The center of population activity concentration is on the island of Java with the state capital being in the city of Jakarta.

    The state of nature in Indonesia consists of oceans, rivers and lakes. This holds the potential for vast natural wealth, especially the vast sea with a diversity of fauna and flora species that are no less numerous throughout the region.

    Indonesia achieved its independence on August 17, 1945. Previously, Indonesia had experienced colonization by western nations such as the Dutch, British, Spanish and Portuguese, and had been colonized by fellow Asian countries, namely Japan.

    Indonesia regulates the Republican government system with a presidential system of government, which means that Indonesia is led by a president as head of state as well as head of government. The president in Indonesia is directly elected by the people with an electoral system every five years. Currently, there have been 7 presidential changes in Indonesia.

    In carrying out his state activities, the Indonesian president is assisted by ministers who are responsible for managing various sectors supporting the country’s prosperity. Economic transactions carried out by the people of Indonesia use the rupiah as a medium of exchange.

    Indonesia has a national anthem entitled Indonesia Raya and the unified language used is Indonesian. Having abundant natural resources makes the people of Indonesia rely on the agrarian sector as their livelihood.

    The agrarian sectors that are relied upon are rubber, palm oil, timber, coffee, tea, spices, and so on. Joined since August 8, 1967 as a member of ASEAN, making Indonesia one of those on the list of Asian countries that have great influence.

    2. Malaysian

    The country included in the second list of ASEAN countries is Malaysia. Being a country that is often referred to as the Neighboring Country, Malaysia has many similarities because it is so close to Indonesia. Malaysia has an area of ​​approximately 329,987 km2.

    Geographically, Malaysia is divided into two, namely West Malaysia and East Malaysia. West Malaysia is located in the Malacca Peninsula region which consists of several states such as Selangor, Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Perak, Pahang, Perlis, Penang, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan and Terengganu.

    Meanwhile, East Malaysia only consists of two states, namely Sabah and Sarawak. Specifically for East Malaysia, this region is part of the Indonesian island of Borneo. Because of this, in several places the boundaries of the two countries are only separated by stakes as a territorial mark for both Indonesia and Malaysia.

    Malaysia’s capital city is Kuala Lumpur. As explained above that Malaysia consists of several good countries, therefore the Malaysian government is in the form of a Monarchy or Kingdom, more precisely a Federated Monarchy not an Absolute Monarchy.

    The king is the head of state with the title Yang Tuan Agung. Because it adheres to a federated monarchy system of government, the king here is chosen from nine states that lead in their respective territories. The king of each of these regions will hold a king election every five years.

    Elections are made in a meeting known as the Assembly of Kings. The head of government in Malaysia is held by the Prime Minister who is assisted by the ministers in office. Malaysia is a British Commonwealth Country, thus making Malaysia recognize Queen Elizabeth as Chair of the Commonwealth.

    The independence of the state of Malaysia was obtained on August 31, 1957. The Malaysian National Anthem is entitled Negaraku and the national languages ​​used are Malay, English and Mandarin. Malaysian society uses Ringgit as a medium of exchange in the economy.

    The sectors that Malaysia relies on are plantations, agriculture, industry and mining. Particularly in the mining sector, Malaysia is currently the largest tin ore producing country in the world. Just like Indonesia, Malaysia was included in the list of ASEAN countries which joined on August 8, 1967.

    3. Philippines

    The third in the list of ASEAN countries is the Philippines. The area of ​​the Philippines is approximately 300,000 km2. The Philippines has earned the nickname of an archipelagic country like Indonesia because it has many islands. More or less, there are 7,641 islands that exist until now.

    Some of the major islands in the Philippines are Tidore Island, Mindanao Island, Luzon Island, Cebu Island, and Palawan Island. Traversed by the Pacific fold, the Philippines has many mountains, some of which are active. The highest mountain in the Philippines is recorded on Mindanao Island, namely the Volcano which reaches 2,954 meters above sea level.

    The form of government of the Philippines is a Presidential Republic, meaning that the head of state and head of government is held by a president. General elections in this country have been held every six years since 1992 but cannot be re-elected or for no more than one term. The capital of the Philippines is Manila.

    The Philippine national anthem is titled Lupang Hinirang with the unified language, namely Tagalog (the native language of the Filipino people) and English. Currency as a transaction tool used by the people of the Philippines is called the Peso. The Philippines achieved independence on June 12, 1898 and have been a commonwealth of the United States since 1935.

    The sectors that are relied on are agriculture, industry and mining. Some of the products of the Philippines’ natural wealth include gold, nickel, cobalt, copper, iron, and petroleum. The Philippines is one of the countries in the list of the oldest ASEAN countries before Indonesia’s independence. The Philippines joined ASEAN on the same date as Malaysia and Indonesia.

    4. Singapore

    Singapore is a country on the list of ASEAN countries with the smallest area. Its area is only 728.3 km2, which is almost similar to the province in Indonesia, namely DKI Jakarta.

    Even though it is a small country, Singapore should not be taken lightly even though geographically it does not have natural wealth in the form of forests or rice fields. However, its position is across the shipping lanes of countries in East Asia. Like West Asia, Europe, Australia, Africa, to Europe, Singapore has become a fairly advanced country in the trade sector with busy activities at the port.

    Because of its busyness, the port of Singapore, namely the Port of Singapore, is the busiest port in the Asian region. The famous place in Singapore is the Merlion statue.
    The capital city of Singapore is named Singapore, just like the name of the country. The President is the head of state, but the head of government is the Prime Minister. This is because Singapore adheres to a Parliamentary Republic system in managing its country.

    Singaporeans use the Singapore Dollar currency as a transaction tool. Singapore’s National Anthem is entitled Majulah Singapura. Since 1959 Singapore has stood as a country under the rule of the British Empire like Malaysia.

    Then in 1963, to be precise in September, Singapore and Malaysia merged into one under the name Federation of Malaysia. However, on August 9, 1965 Singapore decided to leave the federation and re-establish itself as a country until now.

    The sector that Singapore relies on, of course, comes from trade due to the dense port activity, then there is the banking and industrial sectors. Singapore is on the list of the most developed ASEAN countries even though its area is small thanks to the country’s strategic position. Since August 8, 1967, Singapore joined ASEAN.

    5. Thai

    Thailand is a country in the list of ASEAN countries which we will discuss. In the past, Thailand was not the name used as a country, but the name used was Siam.
    After the bloody revolution that occurred in this country, Siam changed to Thailand. Having an area of ​​513,120 km2, the country consists of hills, mountains and lowlands. The highest mountains in Thailand are in the north and west.

    The highest mountain is named Doi Inthanon which has a height of 2,565 meters above sea level. The fertile area in Thailand is traversed by the Chao Phraya River which is the largest and quite beautiful river. Thailand has the nickname as the land of white elephants.

    Even though in the whole world there are no white elephants. This nickname was given because the elephant is the national animal in Thailand as well as a symbol of the Thai kingdom. In the past, elephants found in Thailand were soft reddish brown and had to be handed over to the King through a special ritual.

    The mention of a white elephant is only a description and only a naming because there really isn’t a single white elephant. In addition, Thailand is also dubbed as the land of a thousand pagodas because of the many pagoda buildings as places of worship for Buddhism.

    The unique fact that you need to know is that Thailand is the only country on the list of ASEAN countries that was never colonized. This is not without reason, because one of the reasons Thailand was not colonized by western nations was because there were few agricultural products that could be harvested and the land did not grow well, so there was no interest from the invaders to control Thailand.

    However, now everything has changed. Thailand has turned into a fertile country with abundant natural resources. Thailand’s economy pivots on the agricultural sector where rice is the main commodity. Even now Thailand is the country with the largest rice barn in Asia.

    Apart from that, mining is also growing quite well where tin and manganese are found and processed as mining materials. Not to mention the results of forest wealth with teak as a commodity that is quite in demand for trade. Thailand also has territory in the form of the Isthmus of Kra peninsula.

    This place is a transit point for trade ships going to Singapore. So that Thailand is also busy with trade which will further add to the wealth of this country’s income.

    Thailand is a country on the list of ASEAN countries that have the form of a monarchy, more precisely a Constitutional Monarchy. Since its inception, Thailand was led by a king. His power system lasted from generation to generation through his descendants.

    The king in Thailand is the most respected and honored person as head of state. For government affairs submitted to the prime minister who regulates. The national capital of Thailand is located in the city of Bangkok. The currency used in Thailand is baht. The country’s national anthem is titled Pleng Chard with Independence Day celebrated every December 5th.

    6. Vietnamese

    The country of the blue dragon is the nickname of the next country that is included in the list of ASEAN countries, namely Vietnam. This nickname was pinned on because Vietnam is a country that has a rapidly growing industry and a fairly strong economy in 1960-1990 along with other countries such as South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, even fellow ASEAN members namely Singapore.

    Vietnam is located on the Indochina Peninsula with an area of ​​around 331,212 km2. Vietnam is bordered by China to the north. The most fertile blood in Vietnam is in the Mekong River Delta region.

    Vietnam is a country that adheres to the Socialist Republic system, meaning that the head of state is held by a president while the head of government is held by the prime minister. The national capital is located in the city of Hanoi. The currency used in this country is called the dong.

    The Vietnamese national anthem is Tien Quan Ca. September 2, 1945 is the independence day in this country after winning it from France. Another unique fact about the country included in the list of ASEAN countries is the ideological differences between its inhabitants.

    Most of North Vietnam’s population adheres to communism because its territory is bordered by China, which also adheres to communism. While the people of South Vietnam adhere to democracy. The sectors that are relied on in this country come from agriculture, mining, and industry.

    The people’s livelihood is in agriculture with the largest agricultural product being rice. Therefore, Vietnam is also included as an Asian rice barn country along with Thailand. Although independent for a long time, Vietnam only joined ASEAN on July 28, 1995.

    7. Cambodia

    Cambodia is the same country as Vietnam in the list of ASEAN countries, which is located on the Indochina Peninsula. Its area is estimated at around 181,035 km2. Cambodia is bordered by Laos to the north, Vietnam to the east and south, and Thailand to the west.

    The nickname of this country is the Land of Angkor Wat. Giving this nickname is because Cambodia is famous for its temples that are spread all over the world, namely Angkor Wat in the city of Angkor. Even the temple is a symbol of this country.

    Phnom Penh is the largest city and the capital of Cambodia. This form of country is a Constitutional Monarchy with the head of state being a king while the head of government is held by the prime minister. The currency used in this country is called riel. While the national anthem is titled Our Country.

    Independence in Cambodia is commemorated every November 9, to be precise, Cambodia became independent in 1953 from French colonialism. The sector that is relied on in this country is in agriculture where rice is the largest agricultural product. In the list of ASEAN countries, Cambodia was the last country to join on April 30, 1999.

    8. Laos

    Another list of ASEAN countries located on the Indchina Peninsula is Myanmar. Its area reaches 237,955 km2. This country is surrounded by mountains and forests. Laos is a unique country because it does not have a sea.

    This is quite detrimental because Laos cannot rely on marine wealth as an addition to national income. Luckily, Laos is traversed by the Mekong River so that agriculture in this country is developing well and utilizing this river as a means of transportation.

    The capital of Laos is called Vientiane. The state form of Laos is a Socialist Republic. The head of state is held by a president and the head of government is held by the prime minister. The state currency of Laos is called New Kip (KP) with its national anthem titled Pheng Sat Lao. July 19, 1949 is the day Laos won its independence from France.

    For sectors that are not relied on so much, one of the countries on the list of ASEAN countries relies on the agricultural sector to make ends meet. The agricultural products are rice, corn, coconut, and fruits. Since January 23, 1997, Laos joined ASEAN.

    9. Burmese

    The next list of ASEAN countries is Myanmar. The area of ​​this country is around 676,575 km2 and has two climates, namely tropical in the south and subtropical in the north. The majority of its territory is surrounded by mountains in the east and north. The central part is traversed by the Irawadi River which is the largest river in the country. The southern part is lowland with the coastline along the Andaman Sea.

    Myanmar has a state capital which is in Naypyidaw City. Previously this country had its capital in Yangon before finally moving it to Naypyidaw City. In the past, this country was also not called Myanmar, but called Burma.

    Myanmar adheres to the form of a Parliamentary Republic with a head of state and head of government held by a president. The country’s currency is called Kyat and its national anthem is Our Free Homeland, which means My Homeland is Free.

    Myanmar won its independence from Britain on January 4, 1948. Agriculture is a reliable sector besides plantations, mining and forestry. Just like the list of other ASEAN countries that rely on the agricultural sector, rice is the main commodity produced. Since July 23, 1997, Myanmar has become part of ASEAN.

    10. Brunei Darussalam

    Brunei Darussalam is the second country with the smallest area in the list of ASEAN countries after Singapore. The area of ​​this country is only 5,765 km2, which when compared with the area of ​​Banyuwangi district of 5,770 km2, Brunei is still slightly inferior in area.

    Even so, Brunei Darussalam should not be underestimated, because this country which is located on an island with Malaysia and Indonesia has quite rich mining. Brunei is known for its oil wealth and is the largest in Asia.

    Not surprisingly, Brunei is a fairly wealthy country. Its territory is divided into two, namely west and east. The western part is a swampy lowland while the eastern part is a hilly area.

    Bandar Seri Begawan is the capital city of Brunei Darussalam. The form of state adopted by this country is Absolute Monarchy where the head of state and head of government are led by a Sultan. This makes it the only country in the list of ASEAN countries whose state affairs and governmental affairs are handled by a Sultan.

Brunei Darussalam won its independence on January 1, 1984 after previously on January 4, 1979 Brunei and Great Britain agreed to form cooperation and friendship. However, the national day in this country is celebrated every February 23, not January 1. Brunei joined ASEAN on 7 January 1984.

    • The Nile Saharan Language Group, is a discussion group consisting of more than one hundred languages ​​spoken by around 30 million speakers. Saharan Nile languages ​​are commonly spoken in the countries of Sunda, Ethiopia, Chad, Uganda, Kenya and north of Tanzania.
    • The Niger Congo language group includes most of sub-Saharan Africa and is probably the largest language group in the world in terms of number of languages. A large number of Congo NIger languages ​​are Bantu languages ​​spoken in large parts of sub-Saharan Africa.
    • The Khoisan language group has approximately 50 languages ​​and is spoken by speakers in southern Africa with approximately 120,000 speakers. Many of the Khoisan languages ​​are endangered. The Khoi and San people are considered to be the original inhabitants of the region.

     

    • Health 

    More than 85% of people in Africa prefer to use traditional medicine as an alternative to expensive allopathic media treatments and pharmaceutical products which tend to be expensive.

    According to the Heads of State and Government of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) stated that during the 2000s decade, Africa has endeavored to promote a resolution adopted from the WHO African Region to institutionalize traditional medicine in health care systems throughout the African Continent.

    Public policy makers in Africa are challenged with all considerations, given the importance of traditional or indigenous health systems and whether the coexistence of traditional medicine with the media and modern health sub-sectors can improve the equity and accessibility of the distribution of health care, the health status of its population and social and economic development. countries in Sub Saharan Africa.

    AIDS in post-colonial Africa is a fairly common problem. Although the African continent is home to approximately 15.2 percent of the world’s population, more than two-thirds of all people infected with HIV worldwide are Africans (about 35 million people) and among those living with HIV, as many as 15 million sufferers have died.

    Sub-Saharan Africa is reported to account for as much as 69% of all living people infected with HIV. in affected sub-Saharan African countries, AIDS has been a disease that has increased mortality and reduced life expectancy among adults between the ages of 20 and 49 for 20 years.

    In addition, life expectancy in many parts of the African continent continues to decline and is largely due to the HIV and AIDS epidemic, with life expectancy in some countries only reaching 34 years.

    This world is divided into several continents, but sometimes there are those who don’t know about the discovery of continents. Through the book Discovery of New Continents , readers will find out about the journey of explorers. This book is equipped with illustrations, making it suitable for parents who want to introduce their children to an understanding of the history of the continent.

     

    Geography of the African Continent

    The African continent is the third largest continent in the southern hemisphere and the second largest continent after Asia. The African continent is separated from Europe by the Mediterranean Sea, and the African region is joined to Asia at the northeastern end by the 130 km wide Suez Canal.

    The Sinai Peninsula which belongs to Egypt is considered part of Africa geopolitically. From the northernmost tip, Cape Spartel in Morocco and at the southernmost tip there is Cape Agulhas which is in South Africa.

    Then, stretching for approximately 8000 km from the westernmost tip, Cape Verde at 17°33′22″ west longitude to the easternmost tip, Ras Hafun, which is in Somalia with 51°27′52″ east longitude, the distance is about 7,400 km. The length of the coastline reaches 26,000 km.

    As the second largest continent in Asia, the African Continent is passed by the Nile River, the Sahara Desert and Mount Kilimanjaro. Here’s a further explanation.

     

    • Nil River

    The Nile is the longest river in the world, flowing north from northeastern Africa. The Nile River empties into the Mediterranean Sea in northeastern Africa. However, recently a new study showed that the longest river in the world is the Amazon River.

    Water from the Nile River is the main source of water for Egypt, Sudan and South Sudan. In addition, the Nile River is an important economic river that supports the agricultural and fishing industries for several countries through which it flows.

    Ancient Egypt was one of the first great civilizations in the world and developed along the great Nile River area more than 5000 years ago. Until now, the pyramids in Egypt are still towering majestically and have even become a tourist destination.

     

    • Sahara 

    The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world. The name Sahara is taken from Arabic which means desert. The Sahara Desert is in northern Africa and has an estimated age of 2.5 million years.

    The Sahara desert stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea. Starting from the Mediterranean Sea in the north to the Sahel in the south. From Mauritania in the west to Egypt in the east.

    The Sahara Desert divides the African Continent into North Africa and Africa. These two parts of the continent are very different, either climatically or culturally. The area of ​​the Sahara Desert is estimated to reach up to 9,200,000 square km.

    Several thousand years ago, the Sahara Desert was a savanna inhabited by humans. However, in the 3rd century BC, the climate in the Sahara Desert changed and made the Sabana arid. Because of this, the settlers then moved to the banks of the Nile.

     

    • Kilimanjaro 

    Mount Kilimanjaro is a mountain in northeastern Tanzania. Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the highest mountains in the world with a height of 4,600 m when measured from the foot of the mountain.

    The peak of Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest peak in Africa with an altitude of 5,895 m above sea level. This mountain is also known as Kilima Dscharo or Ol Doinyo Oibor which means white mountain in Masai.

    Kilimanjaro is a giant stratovolcano that is no longer active, but has fumaroles that emit gas in the crater on the main peak of Kibo.
