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

Abstract Exploring the construction and maintenance of Nationalist Chinese soldiers’ graves overseas, this article sheds light on post-World War II commemorative politics. After having fought for the Allies against Japanese aggression in the China-Burma-India Theater, the Chinese expeditionary troops sporadically received posthumous care from Chinese veterans and diaspora groups. In the Southeast Asia Theater, the Chinese soldiers imprisoned in the Japanese-run camps in Rabaul were denied burial in the Allied war cemetery and recognition as military heroes. Analyzing archival documents from China, Taiwan, Britain, Australia, and the United States, I demonstrate how the afterlife of Chinese servicemen under foreign sovereignties mattered in the making of the modern Chinese state and its international status.

Nine new species of Enithares are described from New Guinea and immediately adjacent islands: E. peninsularis from the Owen Stanley Mountains of the Papuan Peninsula, E. bosavi and E. papua from southern Papua New Guinea, E. orsaki from northern Papua New Guinea, E. insularis from the D’Entrecasteaux Islands, E. tagula from the Louisiade Archipelago, E. ziwa from the central mountains of western New Guinea, E. arfak from the Arfak Mountains of the eastern Vogelkop Peninsula, and E. kasim from the western Vogelkop Peninsula. Enithares bakeri is newly recorded from New Guinea, and in combination with the new species described above brings the total number of species of Enithares in New Guinea to 16, and the regional total to 19 when including nearby islands of Waigeo, Biak, the D’Entrecasteaux group, and the Louisiade Archipelago. The species concept of E. atra is clarified and geographically restricted to southeastern New Guinea; specimens previously recorded under this name from northern New Guinea are shown to represent the new species E. orsaki. Additional distribution records for 15 previously described Enithares species are provided for many localities in the Malay Archipelago and mainland Southeast Asia, including the first records of E. bakeri from Lombok, Flores, Timor, Halmahera, and Obi; the first record of E. paramegalops from Ambon; the first records of E. gibbera from Kolombangara and Malaita in the Solomon Islands; the first record of E. intricata from Bali; the first records of E. lombokensis from Flores and Sumba; the first records of E. ripleyana from Halmahera, Ternate and Tidore; and the first record of E. ciliata from Borneo. Photomicrographs of key characters and distribution maps are provided for all new species described, accompanied by an updated world checklist for the genus with distributional notes and associated references.

Three new Indo-West Pacific species of pinnotherid crabs are described, one each of Arcotheres, Buergeres and Nepinnotheres. Arcotheres pollus, described from Paway Island, Mergui Archipelago, is most similar to A. boninensis (Stimpson, 1858), A. pernicola (Bürger, 1895) and A. purpureus (Alcock, 1900), sharing a transversely ovate carapace and long, slender, almost styliform dactyli of P4 and 5 that are about twice the length of those of P2 and 3. Buergeres choprai, described from Papua New Guinea, is most similar to B. deccanesis (Chopra, 1931) from eastern India but differentiated by segment proportions and setation of the walking legs. Buergeres tenuipes (Bürger, 1895) is synonymised with B. ortmanni (Bürger, 1895), which is also reported for the first time from Indonesia. A male of an undetermined species of Buergeres from the Philippines, possibly B. ortmanni, is figured and described, documenting the gonopod morphology in Buergeres for the first time. A key to the species of Buergeres based on females is provided. Nepinnotheres fulvia sp. nov. is also described from Papua New Guinea, and resembles N. cardii (Bürger, 1895) from the Philippines and Malaysia but can be distinguished by features of the chelipeds and maxilliped 3.

The basidiomycete Oncobasidium theobromae was identified as the cause of a devastating disease of cacao named vascular-streak dieback (VSD) in Papua New Guinea in the 1960s. VSD now causes losses among cacao seedlings and kills branches in mature cacao trees throughout Southeast Asia and parts of Melanesia. The characteristic symptoms include a green-spotted chlorosis and fall of leaves beginning on the second or third flush behind the stem apex, raised lenticels, and darkening of vascular traces at the leaf scars and infected xylem. Eventually complete defoliation occurs and, if the fungus spreads to the trunk, the tree will die. O. theobromae is a highly specialized, near-obligate parasite of cocoa. It is a windborne, leaf-penetrating, vascular pathogen, and may have evolved as an endophyte on an as yet unidentified indigenous host. The rate of disease spread on cocoa is limited because basidiocarps develop only on fresh leaf scars during wet weather, and basidiospores remain viable for a few hours on the night they are shed. Consequently, very few new infections occur beyond 80-m from diseased trees. Transmission of the disease through seed or infected cuttings has not been demonstrated. Strict quarantine measures applied to the movement of intact plants are crucial in reducing spread of the disease. Integrated management, including the planting of less susceptible genotypes, nursery construction and management, canopy pruning and shade management, provides effective control.

ABSTRACT In plasmodia, the dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) enzyme is the target of the pyrimethamine component of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (S/P). Plasmodium vivax infections are not treated intentionally with antifolates. However, outside Africa, coinfections with Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax are common, and P. vivax infections are often exposed to S/P. Cloning of the P. vivax dhfr gene has allowed molecular comparisons of dhfr alleles from different regions. Examination of the dhfr locus from a few locations has identified a very diverse set of alleles and showed that mutant alleles of the vivax dhfr gene are prevalent in Southeast Asia where S/P has been used extensively. We have surveyed patient isolates from six locations in Indonesia and two locations in Papua New Guinea. We sequenced P. vivax dhfr alleles from 114 patient samples and identified 24 different alleles that differed from the wild type by synonymous and nonsynonymous point mutations, insertions, or deletions. Most importantly, five alleles that carried four or more nonsynonymous mutations were identified. Only one of these highly mutant alleles had been previously observed, and all carried the 57L and 117T mutations. P. vivax cannot be cultured continuously, so we used a yeast assay system to determine in vitro sensitivity to pyrimethamine for a subset of the alleles. Alleles with four nonsynonymous mutations conferred very high levels of resistance to pyrimethamine. This study expands significantly the total number of novel dhfr alleles now identified from P. vivax and provides a foundation for understanding how antifolate resistance arises and spreads in natural P. vivax populations.
