Balinese ethnic adaptation in presenting harmony
No full textTransmigration is the movement of people from densely populated islands to islands where the population density is still quite low and its natural potential has not been worked out more intensively. The arrival of transmigrants to transmigration areas with their respective traditions and culture requires transmigrants to be able to adapt to the local culture in the area. Based on this phenomenon, there are three main problems in this research, first, why are the Balinese Ethnic able to adapt to the local ethnicity in Mertasari Village, Parigi Moutong Regency?, second, how is the process of adaptation of the Balinese Ethnic in realizing harmony in Mertasari Village, Parigi Moutong Regency?, and thirdly, What are the implications of the adaptation of the Balinese Ethnic to create harmony in Mertasari Village, Parigi Moutong Regency on social, economic, religious life and the kinship system? These three problems were studied using three theories, namely Julian H. Steward's Cultural Adaptation theory, Symbolic Interactionalism theory, and Structural-Functional theory (AGIL Model)
Agricultural waste ash in the domain of sustainable concrete: A review
Get PDFThe agricultural industry is a major global key. After the processing of agricultural products, an abundant amount of agricultural waste is generated and most of them are used as a combustion fuel in the industries that results in the final product agricultural waste ashes (AWA). The most commonly available AWA are rice husk ash (RHA), neem seed husk ash (NHA), palm oil fuel ash (PFA), sugarcane bagasse ash (SBA), corn cob ash (CCA), bamboo leaf ash (BLA), coconut shell ash (CSA) and wood waste ash (WA). These AWA when not properly utilized pollutes air, water, and soil. Effective utilization of these AWA in the production of sustainable and eco-friendly products leads to the reduction of environmental pollution. The production of concrete involves huge amounts of natural resources or raw materials. The production of concrete is not an environmentally friendly process. This paper reviews the use of AWA as pozzolan in producing sustainable concrete. After the review, it is noticed that the reactive silica (SiO2) and alumina (Al2O3) present in the AWA help in the enhancement of the performance of concrete and reduce the production cost of concrete

Digital competence and ICT literacy of school teachers: In the context of schools in Nintavur, Sri Lanka
Get PDFThe goal of this study is to look at the digital competence and ICT literacy of school teachers in Sri Lanka's Nintavur division. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) knowledge is now considered to be a vital skill for teachers at all levels, in addition to their knowledge of their subject. Recently, there has been a lot of attention paid to digital competence and ICT literacy because it is seen as a way to improve society’s level of knowledge and, in turn, the country’s knowledge index. When teachers evaluate their own digital competence, they need to think outside of the box and look at things as to how they can get information on the internet, use digital devices and apps, share content on the internet with other people, and how well they can manage information using different digital sources. In light of this, this preliminary study looks into what extent school teachers in the Nintavur division are digitally competent and how well they use ICT. This study employed a questionnaire to look at teachers’ willingness, readiness, and ability to use ICTs and their current digital competence in teaching and education, as well as how they use these skills in their work
