Abstract

Bengawan Solo River experiences a critical environment characterized by promiscuity and unsanitary on the part of its coasts. The locality inhabitants do not take the waste to appropriate places. This waste adorns streets, tributaries rivers and therefore ends up in the Bengawan Solo river during the rainy season. The discharge of waste in these various unconventional and unofficial places causes all kinds of nuisances, degrades the conditions of life and health of the population, and especially worsens the state of insalubrity of the river. In the light of the results obtained, waste constitutes mountains of garbage dumped in the sides of the river, the gutters, along the rails, and especially in illegal dumps and very often, in places of stagnation of water. It turned out that this waste has an impact on the health of populations. From the objective through qualitative analyzes to research subjects, this research gives recommendations and contributions on Indonesian waste management regulations towards health risks prevention of inhabitants surrounding the riverbanks.

Abstract

Reactive Black 5 (RB5) is one of the dyes used in textile industries in Indonesia. However, the high color content can interfere with the condition of water bodies if not treated. This waste treatment process is usually treated with biological treatment processes. Biological processing often used is the MBBR unit and activated sludge. This study aims to determine the RB5 dye’s bio-sorption efficiency using MBBR processing and activated sludge. MBBR processing and activated sludge consist of seeding, acclimatization, and running stages. This research was carried out using a real textile wastewater approach by adding 100 mg/L RB5 and adding 1000 mg/L starch solution. The processing results of the seeding stage indicate increasing in biomass. The acclimatization stage with 50% and 75% of wastewater indicates increased biomass and color removal. The RB5 color removal efficiency results in the MBBR unit and activated sludge show 41% and 84% values. The MBBR processing shows fluctuations each time where the desorption process occurs in the color removal. For this reason, the ozone pre-treatment process is conducted in the MBBR unit. The integrated pre-treatment with MBBR results show the same fluctuation as the previous processing with a color removal efficiency of 43% with a color removal efficiency of 43%.

Abstract

Buildings contribute more than 40% of world energy consumption, so it is feared that it will cause energy problems in the future, especially in the construction sector. One solution to reducing this problem is by analyzing energy use at the initial design stage and utilizing solar energy as one of the solar power plants (PLTS) in office buildings. To analyze the use of energy in buildings, Building Information Modeling (BIM) was used. The purpose of this research is to analyze the annual energy level of office buildings in Palembang using BIM software, namely Autodesk Revit. The number of solar panels as well as the amount of energy were also identified using web-based software (HelioScope) resulting the economic feasibility as indicated by the installation of solar panels as a component of PV mini-grid. The results showed that the use of BIM technology in analyzing building energy can provide a detailed description of the building model at the design stage. Revit analysis indicates that the building consumed electrical energy per year for about 3,647,713 kWh with a roof area of 1,657 m2. In addition, based on the HelioScope analysis, the use of renewable energy from the installation of PLTS was 152,900 kWh/year. Meanwhile, for economic feasibility analysis, the installation of PLTS in office buildings can provide a positive Net Present Value (NPV), indicating a feasible project.

Abstract

Land use-land cover (LULC) is one of the indicators commonly used in monitoring the quality of natural resources. Most of the Ogan watershed is a peat ecosystem that plays an important role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem and water supply. During the 2014-2019 period the Ogan watershed experienced several wildfires and infrastructure development, particularly freeways. This study aims to analyze changes in the LULC in the Ogan watershed during the 2014-2019 period. LULC analysis uses remote sensing technology by utilizing Sentinel and Landsat satellite imagery data. LULC identification used the visual image interpretation method, while LULC changes were analyzed using the GIS technique with the spatial overlay method. The results showed that changes in LULC led to the LULC managed class, where the increase in area occurred in the rubber and oil palm plantation classes. Meanwhile, the highest reduction in area occurred in the dry land forest class. Changes in LULC that occurred during the observation period had a negative impact on the watershed in the form of land degradation, decreased levels of biodiversity and increased fire vulnerability. Based on these results, land use in the Ogan watershed needs to be controlled and land management practices must pay attention to environmental sustainability aspects.

Abstract

Herbicides are generally used in the control of weeds in plants. The use of synthetic chemicals such as herbicides is known to have a negative impact on the environment. This is because the chemicals in the herbicide can kill or poison the organisms that eat plants that are exposed to these chemicals. Glyphosate is one of the active ingredients of herbicides which is systemic, so it may leave a residue on weeds such as grasses which are usually used as animal feed. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of glyphosate residues on changes in the organ tissue of goats (Capra hircus) fed with feed exposed to glyphosate compounds. The study was conducted using an experimental method with four treatments of glyphosate concentration including control. The treatment consists of four goats with age of 12 months. The results showed that glyphosate treatment in feed influenced the development and tissue of the goats. The higher the concentration of the residue exposed to the feed, the higher the residual concentration of glyphosate in livestock blood, namely 0.2377 ppm (P1), 0.3118 ppm (P2), and 0.9377 ppm (P3), respectively. The results of the observation on livestock organ tissue showed that there was severe damage to the liver and minor damage to the lung, gastric and kidney tissue. The higher the concentration of the residue exposed to the feed, the higher the residual concentration of glyphosate in livestock blood and causing more damage.

Abstract

Changes from agricultural land to non-agricultural land are continuously occurring, especially in areas adjacent to cities. Land changes from agricultural to non-agricultural land will eliminate crops’ hydrological function, impacting rivers, including the Cirasea River. Besides, changes in agricultural land have an impact on the resulting agricultural productivity and income. This study’s main objective is to determine land area changes, productivity, and farmers’ income in 2011 - 2018 in the Cirasea watershed. A literature study was applied to this study. Secondary data were obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics of Ciparay, Ibun, Kertasari, Majalaya, Pacet, and Paseh Districts, Bandung Regency in Cirasea River Upstream. The study results showed an increase in land area, productivity, and agricultural income for vegetables (75%, 50%, and 68%, respectively) and rice field (16%, 0.32%, and 0.32%). In addition, there was a decrease in land area followed by a decrease in agricultural productivity and income for fruit commodities (-88%, -35%, -33%) and plantations (-97%, -1%, -1%). For eight years, farmers have relied on their income from vegetable commodities in Cirasea Watershed.

Abstract

The rapid increase in vehicular activities in the past two centuries contributes vastly to air pollution levels. In as much as Social interactions and economic growth are well enhanced by vehicular transportation in many developing countries, it is unfortunate that exhausts from vehicles contribute immensely to ambient air quality especially in the urban areas. The concentrations of carbon monoxides (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in selected roadsides in Jalingo have been assessed. Four roads were used as sample locations where the concentration of CO2 and CO were measured using an air quality meter for four weeks. The mean concentration of CO2 and CO obtained were respectively as follows: 542.25 ppm and 7.49 ppm for the roadblock, 540.05 ppm and 5.55 ppm for Hammaruwa way, 598.81 ppm and 17.42 ppm for market road, and 463.80 ppm and 1.08 ppm for Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) road (control). Based on the acceptable limit of CO2 (600 ppm), the Roadblock road, Hammaruwa way, and the NLC/control road are safe. Only the market road had value that exceeded the acceptable limit, and it may be attributed to high vehicular activities on the roadsides. Therefore, more alternative roads should be constructed in other to minimize traffic congestion and also, the use of nose masks should be encouraged. For the CO, all the sites are safe because they fall within the acceptable level of CO (1-70 ppm).

Abstract

Forest land cover experienced changes caused by various factors. Deforestation and forest degradation decreased forest structure and size that produce forest fragmentation. This study aimed to determine spatial distribution patterns and typology of forest fragmentation in the Labuhanbatu Selatan district. The study uses land cover image analysis, forest fragmentation analysis, correlation analysis, and typology analysis. Forest fragmentation is determined based on patch area (CA), patch density (PD), contiguity index (CONTIG), and proximity index (PROX). The study analyzes the correlation between variable factors and the degrees of forest fragmentation to develop a typology of fragmentation forest. The variables used to construct the typology of forest fragmentation are population density, productive age ratio, income, and slope. The classification of forest fragmentation has been completed to create a forest fragmentation typology. To determine the typology of forest fragmentation, the K-Means Cluster analysis method is used. Typology of forests fragmentation of Labuhanbatu Selatan district is three typologies. Typology 1 is the low forest fragmentation of Torgamba, Silangkitang, and Kota Pinang sub-district, typology 2 is moderate forest fragmentation are the Kampung Rakyat, and Typology 3 is high forest fragmentation of Sungai Kanan sub-district.
