This is an integration of three studies on type 2 diabetes. In this study, diabetes was seen in relation to illness perception, stress, depression, social support, and self management. The studies conducted using quantitative approach, employing 68 participants, aged between 40-75 years old. Interviewer-administered questionnaires were used for the data collection. Sobel test was employed to examine the mediation states of the variables in the three quantitative studies, and regression analysis was then executed for hypotheses testing. Results show that self-acceptance were significantly related to depression (r:-.14, p<.05) without being mediated by perceived social support (r:-.16, p>.05). Religiosity approved to be significantly related to the stress (r:-.69, p<.05), mediated by self acceptance (r:-.36, p<.05). "Easily being tired in work, compared to the previous condition" was identified by most of the study participants as the cause of stress. It was also discovered that illness perception and coping strategies were not having a direct association with self-management in general. This study suspected that there was multicollinearity among 8 sub-components of illness perception, coping strategies and self-management. Conclusion: self-acceptance is the most important among others; and that participants, with family, need to have correct knowledge on the nature of the illness and its management.

This study focuses on the role of cultural policy in the rise of multiculturalism with a case study of the Indonesian Art Exhibition, Pameran Seni Rupa Nusantara (PSRN) 2000s, which was initiated by a cultural institution, the National Gallery of Indonesia (GNI). PSRN exhibition is one of the important programs of GNI because it gives space to the artists of the archipelago - not just Java and Bali - to present works of modern-contemporary art rooted in local wisdom. As a nation that has the characteristics of pluralism, the spirit of multiculturalism in art has become very significant, especially in the middle of the Disruption era which is "full of uncertainty". This article uses qualitative research with a historical method approach: heuristics, verification, interpretation and historiography, namely the process of writing history based on proven facts. Material Culture analysis approach, shows how history may be read and interpreted through objects/ artefacts/findings used by artists in their works. The results show that the Cultural Policy implemented by GNI is a combination of cultural policies that are authoritarian with the cultural policies of the Command, with an emphasis on the strength of the Potential Localization owned by the Indonesian people.

This study focuses on the role of the National Gallery of Indonesia (GNI) in maintaining multiculturalism through the policies implemented, namely initiating the activities of the Pameran Seni Rupa Nusantara (PSRN). The PSRN exhibition is one of the GNI’s most important programs because it gives space to the artists of the archipelago - not just Java and Bali - to present works of modern-contemporary art rooted in local wisdom. As a nation that has the characteristics of pluralism, the spirit of multiculturalism in art has become very significant, especially in the middle of the Disruption era which is ”full of uncertainty”. Earlier studies have suggested that the aesthetic concept of Indonesia was based on Indonesian cultural diversity, but these studies do not specifically address GNI policies. This article uses qualitative research with a historical method approach together with a material culture analysis approach. The results of the study show that GNI as the State Cultural Institute plays an important role in maintaining multiculturalism through exhibition events involving roles and figures.

Salah satu lembaga kebudayaan yang memegang peranan penting dalam pembentukan identitas kota Jakarta adalah Pusat Kesenian Jakarta, Taman Ismail Marzuki (PKJ TIM). PKJ TIM merupakan lembaga kebudayaan pertama yang lahir di Jakarta sesudah peristiwa politik G30S/PKI. Ditengah situasi politik dan perekonomian yang belum stabil kala itu, PKJ TIM menjelma menjadi wadah kesenian yang sangat dinamis dan demokratis, kondisi tersebut tak dapat dipisahkan dari kebijakan Gubernur Ali Sadikin yang menekankan pentingnya kebebasan ekspresi yaitu “seni untuk seni.” Tulisan ini akan mengkaji dua peristiwa penting yang terjadi di PKJ TIM era tahun 1970-an yaitu Pameran Gerakan Seni Rupa Baru (GSRB) 1975 dan Pameran Gerakan Seni Rupa Baru (GSRB) 1977. Dua peristiwa tersebut sangat penting karena merupakan momentum lahirnya Seni Rupa Kontemporer Indonesia.
