This paper attempts to explore the role of the language of media, particularly newspapers, in making peace of a heterogeneous society in Indonesia. As one of mass media, newspapers can play a significant role to create peace of the society. In reporting news, the newspaper reporters might use some means of language aspects to avoid the use of expressions which potentially provoke conflict. Striving to prevent conflict among parties means that the media have supported peace journalism. This paper examines the employment of linguistic devices used by the journalists of Indonesian newspapers in endeavours to lessen the potency of conflict and to build harmony of the society. The efforts to create peace in Indonesia should constantly maintain, since Indonesia is a country with multi ethnics, religions, languages, and social backgrounds. Maintaining the peaceful condition of the country is the task of Indonesian journalists. The data were taken from two regional Indonesian newspapers published in Semarang and Surakarta, Jawa Tengah, i.e., Suara Merdeka and Solopos. The result shows that the newspapers, to some extent, exploit the linguistic devices to create harmony through unnamed body/society, general expression, implicit expression, and hedging devices. As the focus of the study is on language point of view, it will be more fruitful if this study is completed with the study from communication and journalism point of view.

Sumber data penelitian adalah novel Garis Waktu (2016) karya Fiersa Besari. Data penelitian ialah kalimat yang mengandung pembentukan metafora konseptual. Pendekatan penelitian menggunakan deskriptif kualitatif dengan pemerolehan data melalui relevances sampling. Pendekatan teori menggunakan penentuan klasifikasi domain sumber metafora konseptual dan strukturalisme kesusastraan. Metode analisis menggunakan metode analisis isi, introspektif, dan padan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembentukan metafora konseptual oleh seorang penulis dalam karyanya memiliki berbagai fungsi. Berbagai fungsi pembentukan metafora konseptual yang dijumpai ialah memberikan nilai filosofis, menampilkan estetika berbahasa, memperkuat dan memperdalam makna yang terkandung, memperluas konsep makna, menghindari kebosanan dan kejenuhan pada diksi, memberikan gambaran fisik terhadap entitas abstrak, memberikan makna yang tersirat, menyederhanakan istilah terhadap konsep yang kompleks, serta memperjelas unsur ekspresif perasaan tokoh. Konsep makna yang merujuk pada pengklasifikasian domain sumber ditemukan sebanyak 14 klasifikasi.[Figurative Language in the Form of Conceptual Metaphor in Fiersa Besaris Novel of Garis Waktu] The research aims to discuss the classifications of source domains in the construction of conceptual metaphor and describe their functions for the story narrations and readers.

This study was conducted to confirm the Anopheles spp as malaria vector inhabits forested areas in Western Lampung Regency, Sumatra Island, Indonesia. Anopheles spp. were sampled using the human landing catch method at a remote forest habitat. Each caput and thorax of Anopheles balabacensis specimen was placed separately inside a sterilized mortar and the tissue homogenized using a sterile pestle. The total DNA was extracted from the tissues according to QIAamp DNA Mini Kit protocol. The presence of malaria parasites in the mosquitoes was detected using nested PCR by targeting the small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene of Plasmodium. A PCR primer pair, rPLU1, and rPLU5, was used in the first PCR reaction, while another pair (Pkr and Pkf) was used in the second PCR reaction for detecting Plasmodium knowlesi. There was only 1 Anopheles balabacensis mosquito caught in a remote forest habitat during this study. The results of the molecular analysis showed a positive result for Plasmodium knowlesi, which showed a similarity level of 99% with Plasmodium knowlesi isolates from JOHOR02.018S, and Plasmodium knowlesi clone H033H82 isolates from Serawak, and Plasmodium knowlesi genome isolates SWK113.2.18S. It is a confirmed natural vector of Plasmodium knowlesi namely Anopheles balabacensis in a remote forest habitat in Kecamatan Balik Bukit.

The paper discusses non verbal behavior performed and exploited by a teacher of children with autism as part of multimodal interaction in transferring knowledge. Data were collected from one teaching session carried out by a teacher and five children with autism. Data in the forms of body language, facial gesture, proximity, kinesics and other aspects of non verbal behavior were collected from such a session. The results show that strategies in exploiting non verbal aspects of the interaction are influenced by the autistic conditions of the children. As each of students in the class has different conditions, the teacher should design different non verbal approaches in transferring the knowledge to the children. In general, the teacher always equipped her utterances with body movements, facial gestures, standing position as well as paralinguistic resources such as intonation and loudness of speech. The strategies are performed to support the verbal behavior the teacher has in the teaching session and both represent multimodal interaction in the session. It is expected that the results of this research can be good benefits for other teachers or parents of children with autism in the process of assisting the children.
