Abstract

Tourist arrival and its effects on the sustainability of biodiversity in Sulawesi is one of the interesting public issues discussed at this time. Object of the most visited by tourists are protected forest ecotourism. In a protected forest tour are endemic plant and animal species that must be protected and preserved in order to sustain their ecosystem.  Forest ecosystem suggests the dynamic interactions between plants, animals, and microorganisms and their abiotic environment working together as a functional unit.  Ecosystems will not sustain if they are imbalance.  However, thare are many human activities, especially tourist activities lead to major implications on biodiversity of natural vegetation in Sulawesi. This paper presents informations and data on vegetation biodiversity and information about tourist activities in maintaining vegetation biodiversity. There are 57 endemic plant species in Sulawesi are still maintained and preserved. Most are in Gorontalo about 16 species, in North Sulawesi about 13 species, in Southeast Sulawesi 10 species, in Central Sulawesi 9 species and in South Sulawesi, 9 species. Activities carried tourists in maintaining diversity of species include: planting trees, learning and research the endemic species of plants and animals, and collect solid wastes in the tourism areas. These activities suggest a positive impact on the sustainability of forest ecosystems and economic benefits for the local communities. Keyword :Tourist activities,  biodiversity, endemic species.

Abstract

Background: An open-label, multi center and non-comparative study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a more affordable in-Asia-manufactured interferon á-2b product in combination with ribavirin to treat naïve chronic hepatitis C patients. Method: Thirty chronic naïve hepatitis C patients were treated with in-Asia-manufactured interferon   a-2b subcutaneously 3 MIU thrice weekly and ribavirin 800-1,200 mg daily for 48 weeks. Follow-up was done until 24 weeks after the end of treatment. Efficacy was assessed by examining serologic and biochemical parameters at pre and post-treatment. Safety was assessed by evaluating clinical symptoms and laboratory parameters. Results: The virological response and sustained virological response rates of all Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) genotypes were 83.3% and 76.7% respectively. Post-treatment, 80% patients had significant alanine transaminase (ALT) decreased into normal level and remained normal in 76.7% patients at 24th week follow up period. At that time, the ALT level and sustained virological response were lower in HCV genotypes 1 and 4 than in non-1 and non-4 genotypes. The most frequent adverse event was flu-like syndrome. Conclusion: The efficacy and safety study on combination therapy of in-Asia-manufactured interferon a-2b and ribavirin has shown a good result based on the current standard of interferon alpha and ribavirin combination therapy. Keywords: interferons, combination drug therapy, chronic hepatitis C, treatment efficacy, safety

Abstract

Perubahan lingkungan hutan berdampak terhadap kondisi aset penghidupan maysarakat dan menyebabkan beragamnya strategi penghidupan masyarakat sekitar hutan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh aset penghidupan (livelihood asset) masyarakat sekitar hutan terhadap strategi penghidupan (livelihood straregy) yang mereka lakukan. Penelitian ini dilakukan di UB Forest Desa Tawangargo Kabupaten Malang. Responden penelitian ini adalah masyarakat sekitar UB forest dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 105 responden. Metode yang digunakan adalah Structure Equation Modelling (SEM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa aset memiliki positif terhadap strategi penghidupan. Sementara itu, demografi memiliki pengaruh negatif terhadap strategi penghidupan masyarakat sekitar hutan. Akan tetapi demografi akan memiliki pengaruh positif terhadap strategi penghidupan ketika masyarakat memiliki aset penghidupan. Hal ini menyiratkan bahwa perlu adanya peningkatan kepemilikan asset masyarakat tepi hutan untuk mempertahankan bahkan meningkatkan penghidupan mereka.
