Abstract

Introduction: The effect of ionizing radiation exposure in a human being is chromosome aberrations. Botteng has the highest annual radiation exposure rate in Indonesia, which is 6,15 ± 0,81 mSv/year. The people in Botteng were exposed to the low dose radiation, continuously. The purpose of this research is to describe the pathway radiation exposured to inhabitants and the cytogenetic response in the high natural background radiation area.Methods : This is a statistical research by cross-sectional. The population is 61 residents, who were chosen randomly from 9 different exposure rate areas. Path analysis model is used to determine the linearity relationship between internal and external radiation dose to the frequency of chromosomal aberrations in lymphocyte cells.Results: The results concluded that the external radiation dose rate is 5.49 mSv / year, the internal radiation dose rate is 10.34 mSv / year, the effective dose rate of lymphocyte cells is 1.92 mSv / year, and the mean of chromosome aberrations frequency is 0.00082 of approximately 14,695 metaphase cells observed. The result of the analysis showed that there was no significant correlation between the external dose and the chromosome aberrations frequency. There is a linear relationship between the internal dose and the chromosome aberrations frequency (f count = 6,634 and p-value 0,013 <0,05). The internal and external radiation dose simultaneously affects the effective dose (R2 = 0.901, p-value = 0,000> 0.05), The Internal and external radiation doses affect the chromosome aberrations frequency of peripheral blood lymphocytes only through effective doses (R2 = 0.093, p-value = 0.017> 0.05)Conclusion: this study provide an effective recommendation for further research as an effort to improve public health in areas with high natural background radiation.

Abstract

Indonesia’s coastline, particularly Kendal Regency in Central Java, faces critical mangrove degradation due to land-use changes and rising sea levels. This study aims to asses the condition and erosion impacting Kendal's mangrove ecosystems to inform future conservation strategies. Using remote sensing technology, multi-spatial and multi-temporal imagery from 2005–2023 was analyzed and validated with field observations to evaluate mangrove species composition, structure, and land changes. The mangrove area increased by 52% in three locations, with the Bodri River delta (Pidodo Kulon and Pidodo Wetan villages) showing the most significant growth at 76.69 hectares. Ngebum Beach (Mororejo) had the largest proportional increase, reaching 185%. The ecosystems are moderately diverse, containing at least 11 mangrove species, though Rhizophora dominates due to extensive planting efforts. Despite stable conditions, these ecosystems face threats from deforestation for aquaculture, the primary driver of land erosion, compounded by rising sea levels. Although mangrove areas have expanded significantly, ongoing challenges include erosion, anthropogenic pressures, and limited species diversity. Future strategies must involve multi-stakeholder collaboration to implement sustainable practices, promote species diversity, develop erosion mitigation models, and conduct awareness campaigns to ensure the resilience of Kendal’s mangrove ecosystems.
