Kala is known to come with many definitions. Among these are time, death, performing arts, and specific deities in Hinduism, Javanese and Balinese mythologies. Yet, despite the many origin stories, there is a connecting thread that Kala is all of those manifestations. However, in this Collaboration, Kala is our canvas. Here Kala is defined specifically through her manifestation as TIME.
Kala is experienced through the conceptual portraits of the two Guardians representing our Earthly World and our Spiritual World. The portraits of the Guardians of Earth and Spirit were created through a combination of installations and the photography of Dewi Dian and ManButur Suantara. The paintings of Nyoman Handi respond to the questions and reflections raised by the Guardian portraits. +
Nungkalik International Art Festival
Art Festival debuting in 2023 by Institute of Art Denpasar, founded on themes discussed by Dr. Sujana Suklu. Featuring Artists Bambang Herras, Agung Gunawan, Martina Feirtag, Diwarupa, Made Kaek, Putu Bonuz Sudiana, Robert Martin, Galung Wiratmaja, Steve Bolton, Dewi Dian Reich, Ketut Sumerjana and Dr. Mas Ruscitadewi.
Nungkalik International Art Festival. An introduction to a contemporary art festival debuting this year in Bali that is in its early stages already showing signs of extraordinary possibilities. In nature Nungkalik is bold, experimental and conceptual. Centred on the idea offered by artist and lecturer Dr. Sujana Suklu that artists on a daily basis are subconsciously learning a universal intuitiveness whilst responding to the world throughout their lives.
That is to say, whether through their movements, musical or visual expressions as well as verbal interactions. Their bodies and memories compile experiences that keep developing and transforming with each day that passes. Their sensitivity to phenomena that occurs outside of themselves inevitably gets stronger and becomes a substantive sensitivity in their respective internal worlds. We may say this transforms into an instinctive sensitivity that does not require conscious deliberation when external elements circle close to their internal world.
The Premise of Nungkalik Art Festival
Artists are invited to participate in this experimental study, from different backgrounds, geographic locations as well as varying creative disciplines. Throughout the festival, community members with specialty areas in sociology, psychology, education and music were also invited to participate and observe. The global theme for the Nungkalik International Art Festival 2023 was introduced as ‘Exploring Archetypes’ with specific explorations on associated concepts during each workshop day.
Participating artists were involved in these workshops together with members of the Fine Arts and Performance Arts student body. Our day beginning with a discussion circle. Together exchanging thoughts and ideas about the proposed themes and the significance of the chosen mediums. Within these discussions, it is interesting how very naturally, abstract ideas and concepts were articulated by all artists.

Sujana Suklu is known as a progressive thinker of contemporary art in Bali. With a pioneering vision that reflects a universal philosophy. Sujana Suklus’ contributions are vast in scope, encompassing multi-disciplinary fields within fine arts, academic and community platforms. Suklus’ academic research explores ways to bring art methodologies into communities cultivating and preserving local wisdom whilst expanding existing skill sets. The beauty of this research is that it has been applied and is actively growing in communities today. +
Kala and the Guardians
Reflecting on the nature of Time and our relationship to the Earth and Spirit through a conceptual journey.
A collaborative exhibition with the works of Dewi Dian, ManButur Suantara, Nyoman Handi.
Kala and the Guardians conceptualise an abstract idea. The primary themes that we explore here are Kala, Earth and Spirit. In and of themselves, their nature. In addition to seeing these three entities separately, the threading of them together in this collaboration is to ask you to explore your relationship to each of these elements.
Kala, Earth and Spirit
Kala is known to come with many definitions. Among these are time, death, performing arts, and specific deities in Hinduism, Javanese and Balinese mythologies. Yet, despite the many origin stories, there is a connecting thread that Kala is all of those manifestations. However, in this Collaboration, Kala is our canvas. Here Kala is defined specifically through her manifestation as TIME. Of the three characters that we introduce, Kala is the faceless one. She is not represented as a portrait, or in a painting. Yet, she is present in them and in a significant way. That is also part of our display and exploration of Time. Part of the reflections in which Sawidji invites you to contemplate.
How different art mediums reinforce the message..
Kala is experienced through the conceptual portraits of the two Guardians representing our Earthly World and our Spiritual World. The portraits of the Guardians of Earth and Spirit were created through a combination of installations and the photography of Dewi Dian and ManButur Suantara. The paintings of Nyoman Handi respond to the questions and reflections raised by the Guardian portraits.
Collaboration, More Than Just a Word
All the mediums present in this collaboration bring very different qualities. Sawidji leads with photography. However, the photographic works are actually partners to installation pieces. Installation pieces that we created together as a team. The making of the costumes and studio installations together as a team is truly at the heart of each of our collaborations. A seed of an idea may be singular, but as it germinates and grows, all the contributing elements are what make it possible for it to flourish and blossom. Much the same for Sawidji Collaborations.
The artists that come together agree on the message. We feel the same about the message. It resonates in each of us. With this trust and agreement, we move together throughout the day and create together, the best embodiment of our concept. There is in fact a lot of freedom. A lot of room for each person to spontaneously make changes and try new things. There is no shortcut to the process. Our work is a result of going through a growth and maturing process for each concept, and this is done together.

Sangeh Monkey Forest.
A Forest Memory, the Power of Memory and the Secrets of a Sacred Forest
Memory is mysterious. Memory can hold such power over us over a lifetime. It can be strong and clear or hazy and weak. Whether we see Memory or not, it is there, taking residence in the back of our minds. Shaping our perceptions, our actions and choices. Memory shapes us from very early on. This recording of our experiences. The stories that get replayed in our minds that tells us who we are. Where we come from and perhaps where we belong. +
Sawidji Comes Home is a celebration of our new home in the historic part of Plawa Denpasar, with a collection of works from our artist collective. A wonderful exposition of dynamic, multi-disciplinary creative voices.
We celebrate each individual passion, fixation, obsession, compulsion of each artist that is at the core of their creative drive. What compels them to create in this pure and selfless way. As artists we go through such a personal and intimate process, often filled with some form of struggle in the self, only to give birth to the physical form of an idea. This in itself is a wonder, a powerful seed that nourishes arts’ growth.

Part of a series of portraits of the Faces of Wayang Wong of Pura Taman Pule Mas Ubud. In the time before the performance begins, the intimate moments of the dancers and performers in their preparation for the enactment of the Sacred Wayang Wong.
Pura Taman Pule is a Temple in the village of Mas, Ubud in Bali. This mask dance is unique and is only performed here in this Temple. It is not performed outside of its grounds. A set of masks of the characters from the Ramayana and Mahabharata epics are kept in the Temple.No one can say for certain where these masks originated. There are no certain records of the mask carver or how they came to be in the safekeeping of the Temple. That information perhaps has been lost as a result of conflict or war in history. +

A series of photographs exploring a different, subtler side of the White Wood of Banyan. The fearsomeness of time evident in the turns and creases of this beautiful Sacred Tree.
Botanical Notes..
The White Wood Tree of Banyan was thought to be a ‘Bunut’ Tree or ‘Banyan Tree. Like many similar Ancient Trees in Bali. However, statements from local residents confirm that the genus of the tree has not yet been expressly confirmed. By the Ministry of Forestry or any University research teams. Their reluctance to confirm the genus of the tree is due to some particularities.
It is said the White Wood does not flower but bears fruit (we were a direct witness to the abundance of fruit on The White Wood). It has also been said that the White Wood will shed all its leaves every few months. Though Banyan Trees may shed leaves to retain moisture, it is unusual for a tree to shed leaves this regularly in a moist climate. So for all these reasons, the villagers have continued to call this tree Pohon Kayu Putih Bayan (the White Wood of Banyan). +
Five artists from various fields of art active in the Sawidji Artist Collective explore the question ‘what makes us human?’ This is a collaboration titled “Manus, a Conscious Journey” which opened on December 15, 2023, and will be open to the public until February 3, 2024. The exhibition is a Sawidji Collaboration working in partnership with Sudakara Art Space, Sanur, Bali, Indonesia.
The artists involved in the Manus collaboration are Dibal Ranuh, Made Kaek, Nyoman Butur Suantara, Tjandra Hutama, and Dian Dewi. The five artists who have strong, militant and proven “colours” in their respective fields unite and dissolve in “Manus”.

Natures' Blossoms Portraiture Series. With our undeniable bond and complex relationship to that of our own visage and that of others, the exploration of portraiture continues. This time moving away from the individuality of self or our own personalities albeit psychologies. Instead we explore the identity of something greater than ourselves.
An exercise of empathy through the only way we know best.. through our own human limitations and emotive perceptions. A portrait of Nature through hypothetical ages and experiences.

From Exhibition LINES UPON RHYTHM December 2022 at Vin Gallery Vietnam:
He took his focus in a unique way by highlighting the shapes and designs of mass products that are available in the market. Those commodities are commonly found
and displayed everywhere with bright colours which can also be found in his artwork characteristics producing wonderful compositions.
“Lines” will be the main feature in this show, to present how he’s adopting and appropriating the lifestyle of contemporary society closely related to consumerism. Creating lines with rhythm and drawing with bright colours while at the same time, he’s playfully criticising and celebrating contemporary society often becomes
irrational when lured by consumerism. And the rhythm composition of colours and lines will reenact fantasies that capitalism has done to their products. +

The story of Uwug Kengetan begins with the story of the journey of Ida Dalem Kresna Kepakisan, who reigns in the Samplangan kingdom of Gianyar. His presence in Samplangan was a blessing from the king of Majapahit who ordered the main patihs and the aryas of Majapahit, including Arya Kapakisan from the descendants of Kadiri, to be willing to accompany and maintain maximally and faithfully the presence of Ida Dalem Kresna Kapakisan in Bali. The story of Uwug Kengetan, which is full of religious historical values, was composed into the Bali Purwa poem in the form of geguritan. Presented in the form of two scripts (Balinese and Latin), equipped with a number of illustrations based on the main content of the story. +

Deviations in the behavior of foreign tourists often occur in Badung Regency. Forms of deviant behavior include aggressive behavior, behavior against authority, disrespectful behavior and stupid behavior. The need for a preventive social control effort in anticipating the occurrence of deviations in the behavior of foreign tourists in the future. Determination of informants using purposive sampling and snowball sampling. Data collection is done by observation, interviews, literature study, and documentation. Data analysis techniques using qualitative analysis with the creditability test and the dependability test. The discussion resulted in a model of the construction display framework of preventive social control in Badung Regency, which was formed based on facts or the phenomenon of behavior deviations that often occur. In the introduction of the forms of deviant behavior of foreign tourists there are 4 forms and have a total of 17 behaviors and the total forms of such deviations require social control with a preventive approach. In the preventive approach there are 10 ways that can control foreign tourists to deviate. The role of tourism stakeholders (local communities, government and tourism entrepreneurs) is needed to distribute Do's and Don't's in Bali brochures. The brochure will later contain supporting pictures or illustrations to attract the reader's interest, understand the meaning in each sentence. Preventive social control material by dividing 3 material is presented, namely: Do's in Bali, Do's in Bali, and Why in Bali. After the mechanism for distributing brochures is carried out by stakeholders and there is still a deviation of tourist behavior, the next stage of violators will be subject to sanctions. +

Objective: This study aimed to investigate association between conspiracy beliefs, trusts in media and authoritative information sources, with COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. Methods: We conducted online survey on adult resident of Bali Province, Indonesia in September 14th to October 31st 2020 collecting data on demographics, impacts of the pandemic, conspiracy beliefs, trusts in conventional media and authoritative sources, as well as vaccine acceptance. We conducted bivariate and multivariate analysis for determinants of vaccine acceptance with SPSS 23.0. Results: We recruited 779 respondents with 38.9% male and median age of 24 years old (IQR 20 – 26). The result showed vaccine acceptance of 60.8%. Vaccine acceptance was correlated with conspiracy beliefs, trusts in conventional media and authoritative sources with Spearman's rho of 0.350, 0.269, and 0.287 respectively. Controlling for demographics and impacts of pandemic, showed strong conspiracy beliefs and trust in conventional media as the only independent determinants with OR of 0.33 (CI95% 0.20–0.54) and 1.91 (CI95% 1.37–2.65) respectively. Conclusion: The results indicated considerable impacts of infodemic, represented by conspiracy beliefs, trust in media, and in authoritative sources, toward COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. Effective public health messaging should be conducted concurrent with vaccine rollout to improve acceptance and achieve herd immunity. +
The COVID-19 pandemic has constituted concurrent public health and economic crises. An inter-correlation between economic and public health impacts due to the COVID-19 pandemic needs to be studied to improve mitigation measures. This study identified a correlation of the economic insecurity and perceived stress with adherence to recommended preventive behaviours. This across-sectional analytic study was conducted to adults in the working areas of East Denpasar Primary Healthcare Center I. Respondents were selected using consecutive sampling and given a self-administered questionnaire. The research variables included demographic characteristics, economic insecurity indicators, perceived stress, and adherence to handwashing, mask-wearing, physical distancing, and limitation on the social gathering. Correlations, linear regressions, and path analyses were conducted using IBM SPSS 23.0. As many as 161 respondents of which 34.2% males were involved had a mean age of 36.31 (± 7.16) years. Sex, job insecurity, income insecurity, and perceived stress were found as independent determinants in females. Female sex and job insecurity was associated with better preventive behaviours with an adjusted β value of 0.276 and 0.306, while income insecurity and perceived stress had the opposite association with a β value of -0.247 and -0.224. There are correlations between economic insecurity and preventive behavioural practices during COVID-19. It is suggested that public health policies against COVID-19 cover measures of economic safety nets to improve adherence +
'Spiritual Healing’ 2022 is Sayur’s most recent painting and a light-hearted response to Bali as an international spiritual tourist mecca. Beautiful soft colours and visual rhythms highlight the composition, an interesting fusion of creative influences inherited from his culture and others inspired by other painters. First, the soothing blue sky makes way for graceful curving lines of brown and orange clouds. Next, our eyes are drawn to the conical shape of the volcanic peak and immediately follow the gentle rhythm of the smoke wafting from the crater. Sayur’s description of the smoke is a modification of the cloud motif taken from the Classical Balinese style.
Harmonic colouration catches the eye. Two white herons on both sides of the smoke create a dynamic sense of movement, emphasising the bird’s motion of flight—our eye dances in tune, one-two-three, observing the icons. As we continue down the composition, the green foliage of the forest captures our attention. The visual rhythm changes again as our eye circumnavigates the leaves. The vertical lines of the tree allow the eye to sweep up and down the elongated trunks. To the right, the artist entertains us with other information, tall palms, curvaceous rice terraces, and round coconuts. He depicts a kite trapped in a tree as a simple, humorous distraction.
The focal point of the composition is the three figures. A Balinese woman carries an offering upon her head. A pale-skinned female tourist with her palms raised and water pouring onto her head participates in a Balinese cleansing ritual called melukat. A monkey upon a brown rock watches on with a grin of delight as he pushes a toy boat into the spring. The swirling curves on the stone are the artist’s modification of a classical icon. The visual rhythms change as the eye flows around the arcs of the figures, each with differing dimensions, colouration and feeling. Finally, we follow the shape of the skimpy blue G-string as it disappears into the tourists behind.
The imposing 170 x 140 cm painting depicts the legend of Balinese and Chinese acculturation from the 12th-century, immortalised by the cultural icon Barong Landung. Barong Landung is the embodiment of the king of Bali, Raja Jaya Pangus who married a beautiful Chinese lady Kang Cing Wei. The tale has manifested into large ceremonial male and female figurines called ‘Jero Gede’ and ‘Jero Luh’.
A broad, grinning expression immediately draws us to ‘Jero Gede’. To his right, his wife’s face appears to be embellished with a grey beard. A gold and black aura hovers over the couple framed by Chinese and Balinese dragons united as one. Bali’s volcanic skyline, bulbous cloud motifs in pastel tones, water motifs, both reinterpretations of the classical icons, and lotus flowers and leaves describe the background. The couple adorn a fabulously ornamented tunic, painstakingly depicted in a multitude of beautiful colours and motifs.

This research is motivated by two reasons, namely the lack of the presence of characters with the Indonesian identities, and the marginalization of female characters in superhero comics. One of the comics that is quite representative of presenting Indonesia's cultural traditions and local wisdom is Luh Ayu Manik Mas, which contains the Balinese culture. This paper discusses how Luh Ayu Manik Mas has represented the Balinese women through her character as a superhero. The research is carried out using the content analysis method on the four comic editions of Luh Ayu Manik Mas. The results of this study have shown that Luh Ayu Manik Mas was designed to appear to be a manifestation of local identity, such as a source of strength from the Tri Datu bracelet, and the belief in the Tri Hita Karana. Tri Datu is believed to be the source of life force and Tri Hita Karana as the principle of life that ensures harmony in every aspect of life. Religion and culture are two different things. Luh Ayu Manik Mas, represents the figure of a Balinese female superhero who is glorified by the teachings of Hinduism as the dominant religion in Bali, is in contrast to Balinese culture which is still subject to the patriarchal system. +
This article discusses the strategies deployed by widows and divorcees (janda) in negotiating cultural constraints and social stigmatisation in contemporary Bali. In Balinese patriarchal society, women are disadvantaged in terms of their access to employment and commonly earn less than men. When a marriage ends, Balinese widows and divorcees not only lose their partners but also an important source of family income. Janda may need to take on additional burdens in supporting themselves and their families and are therefore economically vulnerable. In addition, janda are often considered to be sexually available, may be the target of men’s sexual advances and thus become a frequent source of gossip. The dual state-village administrative system further complicates divorce and remarriage within Balinese patriarchal society. In order to understand how Balinese janda cope with these social and cultural constraints, this article focuses on the contrasting life histories of three janda. Deploying Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts of economic, cultural, social and symbolic capital, the analysis demonstrates that access to multiple forms of capital plays an important role in enabling Balinese janda to make their lives bearable and manageable. With adequate access to economic resources, janda can not only demonstrate their independence and ability to support their children, but also are able to meet their social and religious obligations. In this way they can maintain their respectability and social acceptance within their local communities. These findings contribute to a wider and more complex picture of the life of Balinese janda. +

The COVID - 19 pandemic has a huge impact on the lives of Balinese citizens. The aim of this study is to find the right steps and frameworks that reduce the spread and death caused by COVID - 19 as quickly as possible with minimum impact on the socioeconomic sustainability of the island. Preventive measures are needed, especially for the Field
Facilitator Staff as the front guard, so that the BSPS program channelled adequately.
The key to smooth distribution, in addition to the precise mechanism, must also follow
the government's recommendations and implement health protocols. The results show that the population and employment structure of Bali has
high potential for the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is due to the high level of
population mobility, both population mobility between regions within the country and
population mobility between countries. The second cause is the Balinese population
structure consists of many elderly people, thus causing a high potential case fatality
rate from a pandemic. Based on the results of the study, it is recommend minimize the
possibility of the spread of covid-19 through the first and second rapid tests involving
as many residents that potential to be covid-19 deployment carrier, both through local
transmission and imported cases. +
Main development problem in developing country is the contradiction between unemployment and poverty. It is caused by the strong relation between both problems. Poverty in so many cases mostly started by the lack access of productive human source to the job field. The complexity of the problem drive the worldwide commitment in reducing poverty all over the world by the draft of development goals, called Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). To promote the development, the effort to reduce poverty that mainly started by the unemployment must involve the society in participative platform. The participation pattern possibly reducing poverty to be more grounded, strengthen commitment between society in responsibility to reduce unwelfare . The local genius, for instance Lembaga Perkreditan Desa (LPD) that is own by the village association has the strategic role in reducing poverty trough the improvement of its social function beside the main function which is to improve the members welfare. The social function means the commitment and togetherness between member to institution and between members. +

This study aims to explore and analyze about the position of heir converts in terms of rights and obligations both within the family and in indigenous communities as well as relevant legal consequences arising heir switch religions. This study is an empirical law, with non-doctrinal approach (socio legal research). Data extracted with interviews, analyzed qualitatively . The results showed that the heirs are turning religion is no longer a resident heir. Consequently heir in question fall heir rights of parents. The death of heir rights cause no obligations to be assuming both obligations towards the family and towards i ndigenous peoples. Heir converts studied from Lawrence M.

‘Bunga Palsu’ (Fake Flower) is a compelling example of how Gung Ama is pushing his technical prowess towards the new creative territory. The picture describes a young man in a traditional headdress holding a plastic flower arrangement, partially obscuring his face. Artificial light sparkles upon the flower and highlights his left shoulder, while a dark shadow defines the right. Juxtaposing dark and light with the old and new, Gung Ama creates a fascinating aesthetic collision with strong visual tension. The subject’s eyes are hidden, concealing his identity while his mouth is expressionless, adding to the intrigue. Highly suggestive, the image has a remarkable power to trigger multiple interpretations within our imagination.
Review by Richard Horstman +
WHO established Covid-19 as the Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). On 12 February 2020, WHO declared a novel coronavirus in humans as Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The Covid-19 pandemic had a severe impact on Bali's economic and tourism sectors. The government said the Bali region was suffering from Covid-19 where all tourism stopped and 96% of hotels were temporarily closed. As a result, there are many layoffs and a community that did not have jobs. In everyday living life becomes very alarming. Covid-19 is very influential in the Balinese people future life. The purpose of this research is to find out the impact of Covid-19 on food needs, basic needs and survival community in the Bali area. Methodology: the research done by survey. The distance and location given, use the google form application. The population of 1500 people with aged 15-60 years and working in the tourism sector. The number of samples was 150 respondents or 10% of the total population. Data collected is related to economic, socials and environmental conditions of the household during the Covid-19 outbreak. Descriptive data analysis in the form of visual research results in the form of graphs, tables and figures. Main Findings: During the 60-day outbreak of Covid- 19 the community infected 343 people, recovered 232 people and died 4 people. Pressure on the tourism sector in Bali resulted in the economic collapse. Most of the 80% of informal workers in Bali are laid off (not working), further increasing the number of open unemployment in Bali. Originality / Novelty that 95% of Balinese people experience changes in social behavior, healthy living and maintaining environmental cleanliness. The anxiety towards Covid-19 is still reasonable not get to social dysfunction. Despite the difficulty of interacting between communities, stay at home 75% kinship at home is tighter. +
The purpose of this study is to analyze how effective is the impact of government
policies on the implementation of physical distancing as social-ethical behavior of Balinese people in responding to these policies. A survey was conducted for data collection using an online question instrument filled by 109 people of various backgrounds and ages. Having an analysis of the data, the overall conclusion is that the physical distancing appeal did not significantly influence several activities that could predictably increase COVID-19 transmission in Bali. On the same side that the COVID-19 outbreak felt by respondents harmed their jobs in Bali which are still dominated by the tourism sectors. It appears that there are two contradictions between physical distancing calls that are considered to interfere with the work activities of respondents, but on the other hand, if it is not done physical distancing, it is predicted that the outbreak of COVID-19 will be getting worse. This research recommended to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, the government can lock down territories or perhaps on a national scale with cautious policy while still considering the adequacy of food, communication networks, electricity, and water for the community at regionally or nationally so that people do not get out home to work. +
In Bali’s regency called Tabanan, nowadays there are emerging home industries producing the Kerupuk Ladrang. Kerupuk Ladrang is crispy chips made of wheat flour with some eggs and spices. For our project, we have chosen two home industries as our partner industries. The first one is the “Biang Bagus” home industry which is owned and managed by Mrs. Gusti Ayu Putu Sukarini and the second one is the “Bu Gusti” home industry which is owned and managed by Ni Gusti Ayu Komang Niri. This project, namely Program Kemitraan Masyarakat, aims in improving the production process by solving the problems that are faced by the two partners. The given solutions are by providing the better production tools and equipment, facilitating the two partners with modern marketing skills (eg. for marketing in the social medias) with some training programs, as well as providing them an Android based software application to be used as a tool in purchase-order process. In short, there are four
main things done for the partners: providing them with new and better tools and equipment, services, training and guidance. The results shown the two partners have improved their production process which is now become more efficient and faster. Both of the partners are now having broader views, especially in using the modern technologies, which in this case the social medias and the Android based application software. The project is hoped to be continued so that the revenue of the two partners is increased. +
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) consists of large number of sensor nodes with limited energy and computing resources. These facts have highlighted open problem to prolong the lifetime of sensor nodes while still maintaining the functional roles of WSN in reporting important events to a base station. These papers propose an approach for WSN inspired by the concept of immunity-based system where a set of reactions is performed in the appearance of nonself substances called syndromes. The notion of reactive cluster is introduced where only sensor nodes affected by the syndrome appearances need to perform reactions by establishing clusters among them. Since communication costs significant energy, each sensor nodes as an immune cell need to reduce impacts of the syndromes for itself and other sensor nodes in the routing paths to the sink node. It is done establishing adaptive data aggregation strategies.
