The ITS Lamusa Team with fishermen from Paciran Village Lamongan during a boat inspection to prepare for the installation and introduction of Lamusa Bahari Iwan and his team presented Lamusa Bahari as a lighting solution that has been adjusted to the existing conditions of fishermen today Iwan explained that Lamusa Bahari is an LED and aluminum-based lamp product that has high efficiency with savings of 40 to 50 percent This lamp has a longer service life of up to 50 thousand hours of use this lamp can be used flexibly by fishermen and can be placed in all parts of the ship The light intensity setting on this lamp can also be adjusted and can perform dimming or LED dimming settings to save power and energy efficiency the heating level of this lamp is still lower than conventional lamps so it can avoid overheating which can interfere with the operation of the lamp ITS Lamusa team leader Iwan Cony Setiadi ST MT (center) explaining the Lamusa Bahari product to fishermen in Paciran Village this lamp does not contain mercury which can be harmful to the environment the technology in this lamp produces a green color spectrum to adjust to the type and age of certain fish the Lamusa Bahari lamp can help fishermen avoid overfishing and bycatch Overfishing itself is an activity of excessive fishing while bycatch is an unintentional or inappropriate catch which also consists of Agus Muhammad Hatta ST MSi PhD has succeeded in obtaining funding at the prestigious PF Science 2024 event PF Science itself is an annual competition held by the Pertamina Foundation to encourage innovators to realize renewable energy and technology innovations Lamongan during the socialization of installation preparation and introduction of Lamusa Bahari Iwan emphasized that Lamusa Bahari and the Lamusa team will continue to improve from various sides The closest focus in the development of Lamusa Bahari is to increase fishermen’s knowledge of the product and direct installation of this product Iwan believes that more fishermen will be helped to increase their productivity in catching fish and going to sea “So that later it will also have an impact on improving the community’s economy,” said Iwan hopefully ITS News — Indonesia as a tropical country tends to have many coastal areas ITS News — Data is an asset and the main foundation in determining strategies for the future ITS News — Continuing to show local wisdom to the world community ITS News — The Domestic Component Level (TKDN) is the key to restoring the glory of the Indonesian A strong earthquake jolted Indonesia on Friday It said a magnitude 6.4 earthquake was reported 111 kilometers (68 miles) north of the village of Paciran in East Java The depth of the earthquake was measured at around 8.5 km (5.28 mi) the Southeast Asian nation's geophysics agency measured the intensity of the quake as 6.5 The quake followed a temblor earlier in the day of magnitude 6 The earthquake was felt at a depth of 10 km (6.21 mi) on the island of Java The epicenter of the earthquake was in the sea 132 km (82 mi) northeast of the town of Tuban.​​​​​​​ The Southeast Asian nation has felt several earthquakes since early Friday We are excited to announce a new member of faculty at the Department of Linguistics: Jozina Vander Klok She has been hired in a tenure-track position as Assistant Professor Jozina joins us from Humboldt University of Berlin where she pursued a postdoctoral fellowship at the Department of German Studies and Linguistics.  Vander Klok delivered a research talk at SFU Burnaby campus during Spring 2024 titled On the topic of the subject in Austronesian “I primarily draw on empirical insights from Javanese a Malayo-Polynesian language of the Austronesian family spoken by about 70 million people in Indonesia,” Jozina explains “I have been conducting fieldwork in Indonesia since 2010 focusing on the varieties spoken in Yogyakarta and Semarang Jozina’s passion and dedication as a field linguist is helping advance knowledge of Javanese, which is a surprisingly understudied language. “Javanese is an Austronesian language of the Western Malayo-Polynesian branch spoken in Indonesia Despite the fact that it is the tenth largest language according to the number of native speakers most notably in other dialects or varieties beyond Standard Javanese.”  Vander Klok completed her PhD at McGill University in Montreal examines a number of syntactic and semantic aspects of the full set of TAM (tense-aspect-modal) markers in the dialect of Paciran Javanese.  Jozina shares that her current work continues to explore in a similar vein “My research investigates the cross-linguistic articulation of syntax and semantics which include phenomena like TAM markers and applicative constructions.”  The Department of Linguistics is thrilled to have Dr Vander Klok join us and we look forward to learning more about her ongoing research.
