While doing fieldwork in the modernizing Javanese city of Solo during the late 1980s, Suzanne Brenner came upon a neighborhood that seemed like a museum of a bygone era: Laweyan, a once-thriving production center of batik textiles, had embraced modernity under Dutch colonial rule, only to fend off the modernizing forces of the Indonesian state during the late twentieth century. Focusing on this community, Brenner examines what she calls the making of the \"unmodern.\" She portrays a merchant enclave clinging to its distinctive forms of social life and highlights the unique power of women in the marketplace and the home--two domains closely linked to each other through local economies of production and exchange. Against the social, political, and economic developments of late-colonial and postcolonial Java, Brenner describes how an innovative, commercially successful lifestyle became an anachronism in Indonesian society, thereby challenging the idea that tradition invariably gives way to modernity in an evolutionary progression. Brenner's analysis centers on the importance of gender to processes of social transformation. In Laweyan, the base of economic and social power has shifted from families, in which women were the main producers of wealth and cultural value, to the Indonesian state, which has worked to reorient families toward national political agendas. How such attempts affect women's lives and the meaning of the family itself are key considerations as Brenner questions long-held assumptions about the division between \"domestic\" and \"public\" spheres in modern society.

The phenomenon of women's role is getting more attention in our community right now. Women become the successful source in all fields but the women's role itself was not respected or was not valued by people in our community. The basis of this motivation will be an effort to build the role of women to be more empowered and real in women's institutions. Problems come in groups of women who held social activities such as social gathering which are the issue of activeness in following various activities, less brave to appear in front of people or lack of confidence as well as lack of motivation due to lack of support from family, colleagues and the surrounding environment. This research focuses on the variables of socialization pretension and the interest to save money. This research question is about what are the factor that makes women are motivated to follow arisan and become active in groups of arisan. Through the survey method, the questionnaires distributed to two groups of arisan (social gathering) women which are the arisan groups in the community and the professional arisan group. The sample is about 31 respondents taken purposively and analyzed quantitatively using SEM warpPLS. The result of the research shows that socialization becomes the motivating factor of women joining social gathering but not the factor that make the women active in joining the arisan either directly or indirectly. While the pretension factor to save money is a factor that makes women actively follow the arisan but not a factor that motivates women to join arisan. Motivation to follow the arisan (social gathering) did not also make women active in arisan activities.

The discovery of intercepts in the Japanese \"Orange Translations\" regarding the sinking of merchant ships (marus) bearing allied POWs led to the conclusion that the Joint Intelligence Center Pacific Ocean Area (JICPOA) gave latitudes and longitudes of these vessels to the Commander, Submarine Force, Pacific (ComSubPac) knowing that POWs would be killed. An examination of the \"Orange Translations\" reveals that most of the intercepts are from the Japanese Water Transport Code (2468) system, not the \"Maru Code\" (JN-11). The author concludes that while JICPOA provided ComSubPac with convoy coordinates, they were unaware of the presence of POWs on the marus.

Dr. Jock Nash McCullough will rejoin his mentor and former partner, Dr. M. Arisan Ergin, chief of cardiothoracic surgery at Englewood. The two, along with a third partner, Dr. James Klein, practiced together at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York from 1993 to 2000. \"He brings a wealth of expertise in heart surgery, particularly in the area of minimally invasive mitral valve repair,\" said Ergin. Mitral valve repair is an open-heart procedure to treat leakage of the heart valve.

[M. Arisan Ergin]'s primary focus, however, has been the complicated and delicate work of repairing major blood vessels, such as the aorta, that feed the heart and brain. Ergin and a partner, Dr. Randall Griepp, helped pioneer a procedure in which circulation is halted entirely by cooling a patient's blood and body to 50 to 55 degrees. \"You can do this for about 40 minutes safely, and then restart everything and the patient is fine,\" he said. [Daniel A. Kane] said he approached Ergin after asking cardiologists on staff to draw up a wish list of the heart surgeons they would like to see head the new program. \"He was at the top of our list,\" Kane said. \"We talked to one other person and Dr. Ergin.\" Dr. Howard Rothman, chief of cardiology at Englewood, described Ergin's reputation as \"that of a meticulous, flawless, elite cardiac surgeon.\" New York State's report cards on cardiac bypass surgery show that Ergin's mortality rates for such surgery consistently bettered the state average.

Cardiac surgery, one of the most lucrative operations for hospitals, is a fiercely competitive business. With more than 8,000 patients undergoing bypass surgery in a year in New Jersey, hospitals take in about $30,000 for a Medicare patient, less for those insured by managed care. Surgeons at Englewood Hospital said the report reflects the first year of the hospital's program, which is growing in patient volume and success rates. According to Dr. M. Arisan Ergin, chief of cardio- thoracic surgery, in the last two years the hospital has performed 250 to 275 surgeries a year, about half of which are bypass operations. In the last two years the program had no patient deaths from bypass surgery, Ergin said, based on the same standards the state report card uses. * * *; 1 - COLOR PHOTO - JAMES W.
