Field and decapping performance were compared for two strawberry clones, the cultivar Midway and the selection Vineland (V) 6747R-6, grown in solid beds or in matted rows and harvested either once-over by hand or by machine or by multiple harvests involving both hand and machine. Yields, which were related to crown numbers, were higher and fruit sizes were lower from the solid beds compared to the matted rows. Within each cultural system, yields were higher from the once-over hand and multiple harvests than from once-over machine harvests. A similar proportion of decapped fruit for a frozen product was obtained by mechanical decapping from the two systems. A greater proportion was obtained from multiple harvests of the matted rows than by other harvest treatments in that system or by any of the treatments in the solid bed system. From all systems and treatments, Midway gave higher yields and more decapped fruit than V6747R-6.Key words: Strawberry, Fragaria x ananassa, yield, machine harvest, solid beds, matted rows

A survey of the economic literature of fisheries regulation shows that little of analytical value for the comparison of alternative regulatory techniques has emerged. The suggestion that the general literature on regulation, and on public choice, has something to contribute to the understanding of alternative regimes produces eight criteria. These are applied to the choice between two systems of restricting entry: a tax, and quotas. The transactions costs of the two systems are also investigated. The hypothesis is formed that the eight criteria, plus expected transactions costs, give the edge to a quota system; but this is only illustrative of the approach. Key words: regulation, management, costs, quotas, taxes, revenue, licensing

Archaeologists studying past cultural systems commonly employ the concept of strategy to characterize both general and specific aspects of those systems. It is herein argued that a “strategy” is a plan; a general concept or blueprint conceived to achieve a goal. The fulfillment of a strategy requires that specific, lower-order, actions be taken. These actions are tactics—small-scale activities that generate a material record. It is the patterned remains of tactical behavior that form, and are recovered from, the archaeological record, with higher-order strategies being inferred from some understanding of tactics. In practice, however, many researchers interchange the concepts of strategy and tactic, equating plans with actions and vice versa. This tends to homogenize the reconstruction of strategies and masks the diversity, variability, and adaptive nature of the tactical inventory within the larger cultural system. Thus, the degree and scale of initial archaeological analysis should be at the level of tactic, rather than of strategy, an approach that would broaden the archaeological perspective in modeling and understanding past systems.

In a 3-yr pasture trial, herbage yield and cattle preference were recorded on a small plot area which was mob-grazed by cattle. Sampling grazed plots with quadrats had greater variability associated with the technique than traditional mechanical harvesting techniques, but the technique allowed grazing to continue on the remaining plot area so that other information such as cattle preference ratings could be collected. Results indicated that differences (P < 0.001) in herbage yield between cultivars could be detected despite having greater coefficients of variation than traditional mechanical harvesting methods and that differences (P < 0.001) in cattle preference could be determined using visual rating scores. Key words: Grass, cattle, preference, yield, forage

The background of the migration of the Bugis people is inseparable from the socio-cultural system that has been tradition in the lives of the people. One of the socio-cultural systems that has been embedded in the life view of the Bugis community is very strong, namely the so-called 'siri'. The Bugis recognize two types of siri, namely siri ripakasiri, and sirimasiri. The initial process of migration The large family of indigenous Bugis to Bengkulu in the seventeenth century, actually can not be separated from the role of the Indrapura kingdom as the gate way (entrance) of various tribes that came from the north towards the Benkoelen region (Bengkulu). Latar belakang migrasinya orang-orang Bugis sebenarnya tidak terlepas dari sistem sosial budaya yang telah mentradisi dalam kehidupan masyarakatnya. Salah satu sistem sosial budaya yang telah terpatri dalam pandangan hidup masyarakat Bugis yang sangat kuat, yaitu yang disebut 'siri'. Orang Bugis mengenal dua macam siri, yaitu siri ripakasiri, dan sirimasiri. Proses awal migrasinya Keluarga besar pribumi Bugis ke Bengkulu pada abad XVII, sebenarnya tidak lepas dari dari peranan kerajaan Indrapura sebagai gate way (pintu masuk) nya berbagai suku-bangsa yang datang dari arah utara menuju wilayah Benkoelen (Bengkulu).

Abstract: The subject of research in this paper is a range of cross-disciplinary problems related to the concept of "cultural system". Examination is conducted on the existing culturological approaches towards the definition of cultural systems; the question is raised on the appropriateness of using this concept in analyzing the spheres of human activity that are not traditionally associated with the concept of &ldquo;culture&rdquo;. The author dwells on the mathematics, medicine and religion, proving the effectiveness of culturological research of these spheres of life as the cultural systems. The theoretical and methodological framework is based on the concept of systematicity of culture. This article employs the analytical, comparative, and semiotic methods. The following conclusions are made: 1) any cultural system, besides its specific components, includes the general cultural components that typical to all cultural systems that are part of the single complex&nbsp; of &ldquo;culture&rdquo; and are not specific to its separate cultural systems; 2) the number of cultural systems determined within the culture largely depends on the research perspective, and is virtually limitless. The author&rsquo;s special contribution, which also determines the scientific novelty of this article, lies in the proposed model of interaction of various cultural systems within a single culture.

Ajaran catur warna dalam sastra suci Hindu, Weda, demikian luhurnya, tetapi yang tampak justru menjadi sistem budaya stratifikasi sosial yang tampaknya melanggar hak azasi manusia dan telah merusak citra agama Hindu dari zaman ke zaman. Penerapan sistem wangsa dalam menentukan catur warna itu sudah menimbulkan berbagai kericuhan di kalangan umat Hindu. Sebagai bukti banyaknya muncul kasus adat di berbagai daerah di Bali. Konflik soal wangsa ini sudah merupakan rahasia umum yang sering menghiasi media massa di Bali bahkan sampai mencuat ke tingkat nasional, seperti tampak dalam karya sastra berbentuk novel berjudul Tarian Bumi (2000) dan Kenanga (2003) karya Oka Rusmini. Hal itu terjadi karena supremasi adat kebiasaan feodalisme zaman kerajaan yang sudah terlalu lama tidak disempurnakan sesuai dengan ajaran catur warna. Abstract: The teaching of catur warna in Hindu sacred literature, the Vedas, is so exalted, but seems to be the cultural system of social stratification which appears to violate human rights and has damaged the image of Hinduisme throughout the ages. Application of wangsa system in determining the catur warna that has caused disquiet among many Hindus. The evidence is the many custom cases which appear in different regions of Bali. Conflicts about the wangsa is already an open secret that often decorate the mass media in Bali, even sticking to the national level; as shown in the form of literary novel titled Tarian Bumi (2000), and Kenanga (2003) work Oka Rusmini. It happens because of the supremacy of customary feudalism kingdom era that has been too long not being perfected in accordance with the teachings of catur warna. Key Words: catur warna, social criticism, stratification

Some maladjustments exist in all living, functioning cultural systems, even the most isolated and the most stable. This is merely to say that no cultural system (other than Utopia) is perfect. The possibilities of maladjustment or imperfect function rise with the increased size and complexity of a culture. Modern complex sociocultural systems or civilizations are therefore much more liable to suffer the difficulties of maladjustment than were the primitive and folk systems that preceded them, even in the same territory. Not only do modern systems contain more custom-patterns and institutions in absolute numbers, but they involve numerous subcultures and specialties serving the many differentiated groupings and categories that make up a modern society. Furthermore, all modern systems are in process of rapid change for they are in close and rapid contact with the constant flow of innovations from other modern systems.

Translating means transposing a text from a source language to a target language. This practice considers that languages are defined as discrete in a reality dominated by continuity: they apply arbitrary cuts that do not correspond among idioms. Quine defined the principles of translation’s indeterminacy: the perfect translation does not exist; each one starts from hypotheses to draw conclusions. A language is more than a vocabulary or a grammar as well as a translation is more than an interlinguistic exchange: they represent the combination between vocabulary and encyclopaedia. The term translation presents a lexical proximity with tradition but also with treason. We cheat in order to get into the text, adapting the piece and the source language to the reader and the target language. A mechanism, in literature, which not only considers ideas but also creativity. The aim is to create a parallelism between two cultural systems and transpose semantic differences and nuances of meaning. The translator is called upon to give evidence of his/her abilities to promote a fruitful dialogue between two systems. These theories guided me during my first translation into Italian of the novel Chamsa, fille du soleil: a linguistic challenge in the understanding of the original text and then a cultural one rewriting it, bringing the Arab world closer to Italian readers. Translation is therefore an act of betrayal, of textual separation, but also a rally point among communities, safeguarding diversity. Finding the compromise among these variations is the real headache of a good translator.

Human creature and culture together build a socio-cultural life, patterned and systematically referred to a socio-cultural system. Systematization through adjustments with the socio-cultural thoughts and practices in norms, ideas, values, aesthetics, tradition, all of which can be realized through cultural elements, at one time was the cultural content. Socio-cultural systems can be understood as the bowl of developing cultural elements as the embodiment of cultural contents which are intertwined. Five Indonesian socio-cultural systems, which are formed by cultural background and experiences from period to period, can be considered as the fruits of civilization and nation experiences perpetually moving and growing.
