"This paper is aimed towards analyzing and modeling earthquake interoccurence times in the Lesser Sunda Islands region using Weibull distribution. The data were classified into three categories, based on their magnitude; i.e. weak, medium, and strong earthquakes. Cumulative distribution functions and hazard rates are also explored in order to obtain the characteristics of earthquake inter-occurrences time data. Empirical results indicate the probability and rate of an earthquake recurrence time with a certain magnitude and in a certain time. Medium and weaker earthquakes have a higher chance of occurrence, reaching up to a 100% probability for the following 60 months. Meanwhile, the stronger earthquake has a 75.80% probability of occurrence. It can be seen that the earthquake occurrence probability increases together with the time increment factor."

"This book describes of the geological investigations in West Wetar, Lirang and Solor, belonging to the northern row of Lesser Soenda Islands. The explorations Carried out in August, September and October 1937. The petrographical investigations of the rocks are laid down in the present publication, Discussing some geomorphological problems and for testing some samples of tuffaceous rocks of Wetar on diatoms.

"This research aims at describing (1) the language use of border area societies (Insular Riau, West Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, North Sulawesi, and the Eastern Sunda Islands) in terms of local language (BD), Indonesian (BI), and foreign language (BA) in the domains of family, society, and occupation, (2) language activity of border area societies relating to news observation, language attention, and language constraints in mass media, (3) language attitude of border area societies towards BD, BI, and BA. The findings are as follows. First, within the family and society at large, BD is more frequently used than BI and BA. This shows that BD functions in non-formal situations. In the professional field, however, BI is more frequently used than BD. Second, people in border provinces widely observe mass media, whether printed or electronic. They also often pay attention to the language the mass media uses. Third, border societies have a positive attitude towards BD as is shown (agree/totally agree) by the answers to eight questions relating to BD. The language attitude of border societies towards BI is positive based on the answers (agree/totally agree) to seven questions concerning BI. This also means that BI is prestigious for border people, especially in formal communication. The language attitude of border societies towards BA is mixed. In as far as it is negative it implies a positive evaluation of BD and BI because people appreciate them as part of their local and national identities."

"This paper examines the ecological cognition of Sama-Bajau fishermen by analyzing the naming of fish, fishing grounds, and landmarks used by those who engage mainly in open-sea fishing in the Banggai Islands, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. The field survey assumed that reef rocks and celestial bodies are landmarks used only by Sama-Bajau fishermen because their Sama-Bajau names have been shared among the fishermen until the present day along with their detailed origins. Compared to these landmarks, capes and bays are spread over relatively long distances, so minute differences are difficult to discern. Sama-Bajau fishermen have an equal interest in the names of capes, bays, and reef rocks. The study also clarifies that the background to the naming and folk taxonomy of landmarks is related to differences in the appearance of landmarks and living spaces used by Sama-Bajau and non-Sama-Bajau groups. Therefore, folk taxonomies attract greater and lesser interest or an intermediate level of interest. The study clarifies that Sama-Bajau folk taxonomies have similar features to landscape recognition from a fisherman’s perspective. This is the first attempt to comprehensively classify fish, fishing grounds, and targets based on indigenous knowledge of the sea."

"This article discusses various early sources on the Indonesian archipelago. Itstarts with the status of knowledge before the first voyage of the Portugueseto the Moluccas from accounts of travellers to insular Southeast Asia in theMiddle Ages and the picture on world maps European cartographers produced.Comparing that view with text sources and the resulting geographic material ofthe first expeditions by the Portuguese provides an insight into contemporarymechanisms of knowledge transfer. Certain effects can be traced and are repeatedon different levels of access to the original facts mainly because most maps weredrawn up in Europe but based on the geographic description provided by textaccounts. An abundance and multiplication of failures and mistakes is evidentand is partly related to the scarcity of sources and due to reproduction techniques."
