Archaeology, Culture and History: Concept and Their Contribution in Malaysia
(2016-11-14) Ramli, Zuliskandar
Archeology, history and culture are seen as capable of contributing to national development. The three things are linked because the three have a strong bond. In the opinion of the author, archaeology, history and culture are in harmony of each other. This is because archeology is part of history and cultural data, including the paleo-environment data (ecofact), which are the primary data in archaeological research. However, this view would conflict with those who adhere to the idea that 'archeology is anthropology or it is nothing. It is the faith of those who subscribe to the "New Archaeology" born in America. The movement began in the late 1950’s when American researchers began to move the entire discipline away from the study of artifacts to the study of people behavior. Work of Gordon Willey and Philip Philips in ‘Method and Theory in American Archaeology’ stated that “American archaeology is anthropology or it is nothing (Whillwy and Phillips 1958: 2). The idea implied that the goals of archaeology were, in fact, the goals of anthropology, which were to answer questions about humans and human society. This was a critique of the former period in archaeology, the culture-historical phase in which archaeologists thought that any information which artifacts contained is about past people and their way of live once the items are included in the archaeological record. All they felt that could be done was to catalogue, describe and create timelines based on artifacts (Trigger, 1989). In 1960’s, scholars like Lewis Binfood, David Clarke, David Leonard and others suggested that archaeology must be more scientific, with explicit theory and rigorous methodologies. Lewis Binfood in his book New Perspectives in Archaeology published in 1968 stressed on: i) the need to use new technologies such as the computer for statistical and matrix analyses of data; ii) the concept of the ecosystem for the understanding of the economic and subsistence bases of prehistoric societies; iii) an evolutionary view of culture; iv) the use of models of cultures that could be viewed as systems; v) incorporation of an evolutionary approach to culture change; and vi) a close relationship between archaeology and anthropology. In Britain, David Clarke and David Leonard, in the book entitled Analytical Archaeology, also published in 1968, took up similar themes, emphasizing particularly the application of systems theory to archaeological modeling.
Informal Recycling Activities in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia: Student Perspectives
(2016-11-14) Nasir, Zubaidah Mohd; Yaacob, Mashitoh; Ahmad, Maisarah
One of the major challenges in solid waste management in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) is how best to work with informal recycling sector to improve efficiency in recycling. In order to find the best way to integrate the informal and formal sectors of recycling in UKM, UKM needs to document, understand and build on existing informal collection and recycling systems. However, base-line data on informal recycling activities in UKM are non-existence. The purpose of this paper is to discuss base-line data on informal recycling activities in UKM. Quantitative survey method was employed to collect data on informal recycling activities in UKM, and one hundred students responded to a set of questionnaire. Descriptive mean and standard deviation were obtained. Reliability and validity were tested to approve the variables used. The results of this paper indicated that according to students, the informal recyclers in UKM were amongst the cleaning service workers with a mean score of 3.18 compared to other categories of informal recyclers such as residential college staffs (2.34), students (2.28), support staffs (2.15), cafeteria staffs (2.11), academic staffs (2.04) and administrative staffs (2.03). Students clarified that informal waste recycling collectors and collecting waste recycling parties were itinerant waste buyers with the mean scores of 2.93 and 2.59, respectively. Students also identified recycling micro and small enterprise (MSEs) as the main trading party (2.96) compared to other parties. Materials collected by the informal recyclers in UKM were mostly papers (3.37). Of all recyclables, paper was accumulated the most with a range of volume between 5 to 9 kilograms per day. In addition, paper also gain the highest in profit obtained which is from RM 11 to RM 19 per day. The findings of this study form a basis of understanding on unacknowledged recycling activities by informal recyclers in UKM.
The Implementation of Plantation Business License in Siak Regency
(2016-11-14) Rusli, Zaili
Palm oil plantation business licensing in Siak Regency has not been implemented effectively in accordance with the in force regulations (act on forestry, permenhut, permentan, SKB 3 Ministers), especially regarding to the release permission of forest area and HGU permit. This condition is affected by several factors, namely communication, namely the dissemination, system and procedure (SOP) for implementing the licensing effort of implementation of palm plantation in siak Regency. Therefore it is necessary to take some steps in order to overcome the factors that affect the success of the palm plantation business licensing implementation in Siak Regency, such as the increase of socialization to the target, the transformation of the information clearly and consistently, the increase of the quality and quantity of the implementing policy reform, as well as crafting a clear SOP so that law enforcement can run optimally.

(2016-11-14) Windarti; Efizon, Deni; Yani, Alit Hindri; Vicaya, Dwi Sumba
Anabas testudineus is a type fish that commonly inhabit blackwater area such as swamp, stream and canals in Riau. Eventhough this fish can be found easily, information on its biological aspect is rare. To understand the reproductive biology of this fish, a study has been conducted. The A. testudineus was sampled in irrigation canals in the palm tree plantation area in the Bencah Kelubi Village, Kampar Regency, Riau, from January to March 2013. There were 153 fishes ( 68 males and 85 females) captured. The size of fish is various, female ranged from 61 – 145 mm TL and 11 – 126 gr BW , and that of the male was 49 – 131 mm TL and 4 -79 gr BW. In January, almost all of fish were in the 1st to 2nd maturity stages and there was no mature fish. In February and March, however, there were mature males and females captured. It is predicted that mature male released pheromone that attract females and causing sex ratio between male and female was around 1 : 2.4 in the last 2 months. The male can be distinguished by longer dorsal fin, slimmer and darker body color. Study on histological structure of gonads shown that the ovary of mature female is dominated by mature eggs, indicated that this fish is a total spawner. In the testes tissue, surprisingly, there is trace of egg remains, indicated in special condition this fish might be able to reverse their sex .

(2016-11-14) Petera, W. Syairah Hazwani W; Yaacob, Mashitoh
Women have been in the frontline of most household socio-economic activities. Thus, their participation in environmentally ethical behavior (EEB) namely pre-cycling, re-using and recycling activities towards household waste generation particularly in high density area should be discussed. To identify the influential aspects that reinforcing EEB amongst Muslim women in Kuala Lumpur, a qualitative study was conducted. The study was guided by the following research objectives: a) to identify the type of EEB that has been practicing by informants; b) to discover their reasons for performing EEB; and c) to find out the main aspect that influence them in applying EEB in their daily lives. Twenty-four of Muslim women informants were selected using convenience sampling and they have been interviewed. The findings reveal five key categories or aspects of influences: a) economic; b) social; c) religion; d) politic; and e) environment that emphasizing EEB amongst informants. The findings are useful as a platform in order to advocate EEB among Muslim community in Malaysia.
Implementation of Regional Autonomy in Riau Province
(2016-11-14) Putro, Tri Sukirno; Samian, Abdul Latif; Jahi, Jamaluddin Md
This study aims to analyze the existing implementation of regional autonomy and decentralization in Riau province, based on the law number 32 year 2004 about "local government" and the law number 33 year 2004 about "Fiscal Balance between central and local governments" which began efectif date of January 1, 2001. To carry out autonomous and decentralized, autonomous region given financial support by the central government, in existence: (1) Balanced Funds, comprising: (a) the general allocation fund, and (b) specific allocation of funds, (2) Funds for Yield (DBH ) tax and DBH original source. The main goal of financial aid is to reduce the degree of difference between rich region (producers of natural resources) and poor districts (non-producing natural resources). The impact of the policy is causing dissatisfaction for natural resource-producing region, because of the financial support received is too small, so Riau Province and some other areas (such as: the province Darussalam and Papua province), was able to claim the status of "autonomous region specific ". Funds to support childhood Riau provincial administration can be seen through :: (1) the degree of fiscal decentralizations small, between 30.86 percent to 43.66 percent (less than 50 percent), (2) the level of financial dependence, between 56.32 percent to 69.17 percent (over 50 percent) and (3) Regional selfsufficiency rate is relatively small. Especially during the years 2004-2007 of 40.51 percent. Based on the above facts, Riau province has been treated unfairly and demanded that the variables used to determine the amount of general fund allocation changes, such as by removing the factor of "revenue sharing" as a variable to determine the magnitude of fiscal capacity. Because of revenue sharing is "compensation" for damages to natural resources as a result of mining activities (oil and gas) will be borne by the Riau province.

(2016-11-14) Supriatun, Titin; Rossiana, Nia; Khaliq, Khaidil P
Tolerant plants that can still be living in the mining area, because of the possibility of symbiosis with microorganisms, including mycorrhizal types, the spores of living microorganisms in the root zone through the formation of roots and symbiotic hyphae penetrate the root epidermis cells. Interwoven hyphae that will serve to expand the field of far-reaching absorption of nutrients from the soil surface, especially the elements and phosphate can also act as a filter absorption of heavy metals by plants. Research on the exploration diversity of indigen MAF spores conducted in five locations (at Wika 1, Kelok S, Kampung Jawa, KIM 2, and East Pit ) mining area coal PT. KIM in Muara Bungo, Jambi, This research consists of two phases, the first phase of soil sampling in the field and the second stage is the isolation and identification of AMF infection as well as observations in the laboratory, analyzed the data descriptionThe results showed that in the area; The MAF spores found were : 13 of Glomus , Septoglomus constrictum, Rhizophagus Clarus, and Septoglomus deserticola species. While the infected MAF on plant are: Chromolaena odorata (60%), Mallotus panniculatus (60%), Cyperus sp. (40%), Hevea brassiliensis (60%), Axonopus Paspalum (90%), A.compressus (80%), Ipomea triloba (70%) and Clidemia hirta (100%).
Local-Face and Mixed-Race in Femina Magazine and Nova Tabloid: Hybridity and Mimicry in Beauty and Daily Products in Indonesia’s Advertisements
(2016-11-14) Yazid, Tantri Puspita
This article compares ads of beauty products featured by mixed-race models and ads of daily products (daily consumption) featured by local-look models in Indonesian women’s magazines. By using semiotic approach, in this context I have tried to identify hybridity and mimicry in Royco, Mama Lemon, Scotch Brite, Lux, Marie-France and Pond’s ads and then related the findings to whiteness and consumption. There seems to be uniformity in perceiving beauty by making Western woman as the reference, and the mixed-race that physically resembles much more closely the appearance of Western woman can therefore be dominant in beauty products ads. Mimicry and hybridity that I find in most ads is presented in different ways. Daily products tend to use metaphors to represent hybridity whereas beauty products employ mixed-raced models as the element of hybrid. However, the ambivalence inherent in hybrid enables mixed-race to imitate and to be imitated at the same time. In this context, the hybrid imitates a Western woman as the original and then the hybrid is imitated by the local face to become a hybrid. The difference of treatment of daily and beauty products can be seen in the women’s role and how they consume the products in both types of ads. While it is evident that ads of daily product fortify the position of local women in domestic affairs, the mixed-race women as the imitation of Western women are stereotyped as women of freedom and beauty. This strengthens the connotation of Western lifestyle that tends to live in glamour, leisure, and wealth.

Policy Model of Development and Empowerment in Conflict- Prone Border Region Towards the Reliant Community
(2016-11-14) Sujianto
Governance management reforms at the beginning were expected to involve three components (stakeholders) which are; the country, communities and the private sector. Each component is determined by its own standard role according to the used paradigms of development. The development paradigm must be parallel with the changing paradigm of Government which demand the balance in the same responsibility for community development and empowerment. However, unfortunately, the applied development concept in many developing countries experienced for a failure. Riau Province within one decade has its economic growth over 7% per year on average. But in fact, most of the residents of Riau Province have not attained that economic growth. Based on the described phenomenon it is needed for theoritical study to find a model of community empowerment in accordance with local potential. Therefore, in this occasion I posed the following research title; “Policy Model of Development and Empowerment in Conflict-Prone Border Region towards the Reliant Community." From what's disclosed the research problems are formulated as follows; 1. How are the community’s views on local government towards development activities in border areas (economic, social, cultural, political and public service) in Riau? 2. How does the local Government view on the Community area on the borders of conflict-prone in Riau? 3. What are the factors and efforts to support the community development and empowerment towards the reliance community in conflict-prone areas in Riau? 4. What kind of policy model of development and empowerment that can dampen the community conflict in conflict-prone area in Riau? As for the goals of this research are: a. to ind out and to analyze the community’s views on local government towards development activities in border areas (economic, social, cultural, political and public service) in Riau b. to know and to analyse the view of local governments on the community in the area of conflict-prone border in Riau. c. to know and to analyse the factors and efforts to support the community development and empowerment towards the reliance community in conflict-prone areas in Riau d. to drafting and to formulate policy model of development and empowerment that can dampen the community conflict in conflict-prone area in Riau To answer those questions, theoritically the policy model approach is used. The applied Model is using a combination of concepts and elaborating policy models that correspond to the question of development and empowerment in each region at the border. Therefore, this research method is designed using a mixed methods approach which is qualitative and quantitative. This is the method for making overlapped between a method with other methods.

The Rural Transformation Centre (RTC) Programme of Malaysia: An Examination From The Perspective of Inclusive Rural Development Concept
(2016-11-14) Shahriar, Shawon Muhammad; Siwar, Chamhuri; Ghazali, Rospidah; Chamhuri, Norshamliza
In the contemporary discourse, it is argued that the ultimate objective of rural development is to improve the quality of life for rural people. This makes it essential to go beyond the income-related factors of rural development. Inclusive Rural Development, a more specific concept than the concept of conventional rural development, accommodates the variables for the quality of life in rural development. This concept covers three different but interrelated dimensions: economic dimension, social dimension and political dimension. The key drivers of this concept are: high overall economic growth, effective land reform, rural infrastructure, effective institutions, rural financial services, a dynamic agricultural sector, rural non-farm enterprises, and subsidies. Rural Transformation Centre (RTC), implemented by the government of Malaysia, is the third generation of the rural development programmes in the country. RTC is a site to implement some integrated initiatives for the rural communities within 100 kilometre radius of the sites. There are eight major initiatives under the RTC implementation programmes, which are: training of rural population; setting up of 1Malaysia information kiosks; high-value agriculture initiatives; agro-food products processing; agricultural produce supply chain management; university cooperation; food safety and pharmaceuticals services; and rural population financial facilities. This paper will attempt to examine the merits of RTC concept of Malaysia in light of the concept of Inclusive Rural Development, which will help relevant governmental and non-governmental bodies and researchers to gain some insights regarding the potentials and challenges of RTC in improving the quality of life for rural people.

(2016-11-14) Manan, Salina Abdul; Haron, Hamdzun; Ramli, Zuliskandar; Ismail, Noor Hafiza; Ismail, Rozaidi
Tengkolok is a unique head covering for Malay men and it is still worn to this very day.However, its adornment only is limited to certain functions and events. With this, this articleis written to document in further detail the binders of the Malay-inherited tengkolok especiallyin the state of Perak DarulRidzuan. Some questions need to be answered, such as ‘who arethe tengkolok binders in Perak?’, ‘how are the tengkolok-folding techniques used?’ and ‘whatare the etiquettes and taboo in the making of tengkolok?’. Offering explanation, aqualitative cultural approach will be adopted. Both interview and observation will be used toobtain data wither in writing or visually. The observation done has suggested that there arefour tengkolok binders who are still active in Perak. Each of them has their own respectivetengkolok folding techniques. This article will discuss the work of these binders, their foldingtechniques, the manner and etiquettes as well as the taboo in tengkolok-making. It isanticipated that this article would be able to catch the interest of researchers especiallythose studying Malay textiles and clothing also the younger generation in order for themknow tengkolok better and at the same time to learn this skill. Our observation is also ofhigh value as it is able to contribute to the sustainability of tengkolok-binding heritage thathas long been of ‘low-profile and not really popularised among the younger peoplenowadays. The documentation of this tengkolok binder would serve as one of the ways toappreciate tengkolok-binders as part of the Malay priceless heritage

Behavioural Changes Due to Pesticide Application Among the Farmers of Permanent Food Production Parkin Selangor
(2016-11-14) Salleh, Roslina Mat; Sahid, Ismail B; Mokhtar, Mazlin Bin
Pesticide has been considered a very important component in modern agriculture to ensure the production of high productivity. But at the same time, there is much evidence to show that there is danger faced directly and indirectly as a result of the use of these chemicals on human health and the environment. Many efforts have been initiated by the government to increase the awareness of farmers on the side effects of these chemicals and to maximize the benefits of these pesticides to ensure minimal risk to humans and the environment. The objective of this study was to examine the behaviour of farmers using pesticides in the farms of the Permanent Food Production Park in Selangor. The study was conducted by questionnaire. Data collection was carried out on 350 farmers of the Permanent Food Production Park covering the whole state of Selangor. The analysis found that nearly half or 47.5% of farmers experienced symptoms of intoxication, dizziness and nausea after using the pesticides while 23.8% of farmers experienced symptoms of dizziness. About 17.6% of the farmers experienced irritation to the skin. Slightly more than half the farmers (58.8%) sent their empty pesticide containers to the collection site. The rest of the farmers disposed off their pesticide containers the unsafe way by dumping them indiscriminately into canals, streams and drains. Some threw them in their own backyards, save for other use, sell, burn and also throwing them into the regular garbage dump. The safest way is for the farmers to send them to the collection site to be disposed off in a secure way by the relevant authorities. Of the 12 locations conducted in the Permanent Food Production Park, only one location showed that the farmers there practiced safe pesticide handling at a low level while in the other 11 locations the farmers there on average practiced safe pesticide handling at a moderate level. This indicates that the farmers on average practiced safe pesticide handling at a moderate level with none practising at a high level. The analysis also revealed that only 57.0% of the farmers attended pesticide safety courses. This study is expected to assist the Department of Agriculture in formulating appropriate interventions to ensure that the farmers practice safe pesticide use in a sustainable manner as practiced internationally

(2016-11-14) Zakaria, Ros Mahwati Ahmad; Haron, Norlelawaty; Hassan, Hasnira; Ramli, Zuliskandar; Rahman, Nik Hassan Shuhaimi Nik Abdul; Wahab, Mohd Rohaizat Abdul; Ahmad, Helmi; Ali, Mohamad Shafiq Mohd
Nature is always the best teacher to mankind. The East Coast of Malay Peninsula is rich with its natural habitat of flora and fauna. The strategic location with a long coastal line facing the South China Sea contributes the best fishing area for the population. There were several Malay kingdoms established in the East Coast area such as the Terengganu Sultanate, Kelantan Sultanate and Patani Sultanate. These kingdoms managed to produce fine artistic works throughout the centuries especially on wood carving, metalwork and textile. The population made nature their home and incorporated the environment around them into their daily life activities as source of materials and decorative inspirations. This paper will study the relationship between nature and the population of the East Coast area in producing their works of art.
