Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has suddenly forced the world of education to carry out a more massive digital transformation that should meet student’s requirements and strengthen their knowledge, skills and competencies. The digital media developed should facilitate student’s self-learning and freedom to learn (Merdeka Belajar) amidst physical and social interaction limitations. Vocational high school students have special requirements compared to upper secondary school students in terms of soft skills and hard skills education. It is very interesting to provide digital educational media which fits their needs. This study aims to develop an online digital platform in responding to the demand of vocational schools that have joined the SEAMEO BIOTROP SMARTS-BE program since 2015 in applied tropical biology. Since 2015, SEAMEO BIOTROP has provided face-to-face mentoring to vocational high schools spread across 10 provinces in Indonesia. The Expert System for Identifying Pest and Disease on lemon orchard is a digital transformation in the mentoring method while demonstrating a new learning experience educational materials into a web-based digital platform and Android application. This expert system demonstrates the implementation of problem base learning (ProBL) concepts to enrich online learning materials for vocational schools in the age of digital science and education.

Abstract

Extreme weather can trigger a number of meteorological disasters such as landslides. This disaster may cause serious losses on livelihoods and hamper the growth of economy or development targets. This research focuses on determining a threshold triggering landslide events. Rainfall is considered as one of the common factor contributing to the landslide occurrence. The rainfall intensity as the trigger for landslides can be determined using a series of statistical methods. The threshold determination is performed using statistical techniques composed of Cumulative Rainfall Threshold (CT) and sorting analysis, dummy regression, cluster analysis, and change detection method. The methods are applied to determine the thresholds for landslides occurring in Sumatra Islands for the period of 2010-2017 retrieved from the website Data Informasi Bencana Indonesia managed by Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana (DIBI BNPB). We evaluated daily rainfall data for the period of 2010-2017 compiled for 10 climate stations operated by Bureau Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics named in Bahasa Indonesia Badan Meteorologi, Klimatologi, dan Geofisika that are accessible for the Sumatra Island. The analyses suggest that the rainfall thresholds that should be monitored for detecting the potential occurrences of landslides in the study area are 15 mm per day, 30 mm per day, dan 65 mm per day. These values can be seen as warnings at different levels with the largest value, i.e., 65 mm, indicated higher confidence for the landslide event to occur. In other words, these values represent different levels of alert for the landslide occurrence that provide inputs for designing strategies of disaster prevention to mitigate the adverse impacts of landslide disaster.

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive radar-based analysis of Puting Beliung (PB), Indonesia’s localized tornado phenomenon, using multiple weather radar–derived products. A comparative analysis of ten PB cases was conducted to identify consistent meteorological signatures and variations in tropical storm behavior, motivated by recent observations indicating an increasing frequency of PB events in Indonesia and the need for improved detection methods. Analysis using Rainbow software reveals consistently high reflectivity values ranging from 35 to 60 dBZ, with diverse echo patterns, among which the hook echo is the most dominant. Physical parameters show horizontal wind speeds of 10–30 knots at an altitude of 4 km, horizontal shear of 5–10 m s⁻¹ km⁻¹, and vertical shear of 1–10 m s⁻¹ km⁻¹, while spectral width analysis indicates moderate turbulence with values around 3 m s⁻¹. The Tornadic Vortex Detection (TVD) product identifies potential vortex signatures at six locations, with detected heights ranging from 1.2 to 3.1 km. This study represents the first comprehensive application of multiple radar products for PB characterization in Indonesia and identifies CMAX, HWIND, HSHEAR, and TVD as the most effective products for PB detection and monitoring. These findings provide essential baseline criteria for the development of radar-based early warning systems tailored to Indonesia’s tropical environment, with the potential to reduce the socioeconomic impacts of PB events through improved detection and prediction capabilities.
