Abstract

The impact of humans on landscapes may differ across regions because anthropogenic intervention on the respective landscapes occurs in different human-induced contexts. This study was designed to assess the human-induced landscape evolution of the Citanduy Watershed, Java, Indonesia, and determine its anthropogenic signatures. Several approaches were used, namely anthropogenic landscape identification, anthropogenic soil development, sediment analysis, and monitoring of changes to Segara Anakan lagoon at the mouth of the Citanduy Rier. Five types of anthropogenic landscapes were observed in the research area, from a slightly modified landscape to a fully anthropogenic landscape. The anthropogenic signature was also found in the sediment of the lagoon. Present and recent environmental evolution of the lagoon was reconstructed based on series changes in the lagoon area. This reconstruction was then linked to the governmental program and anthropogenic intervention to reveal the complexity of the human-induced landscape evolution. Anthropogenic phenomena were found to strongly influence the evolution of Segara Anakan lagoon, as recorded approximately through three phases of its evolution: 1) natural processes occurring continuously until 1960, 2) human-induced landscape evolution, the boundary of which occurred in 1960–1980, and 3) the recent anthropogenic evolution that has existed since 1980.

Abstract

This research analysed the use of 3D Coral Photogrammetry (CP) and Coral Video Transect (CVT) images collected from SCUBA divers using a low-cost underwater action camera to examine the coral lifeform. A comparison was made between data sets obtained using both methods on nine transects with different coral lifeform compositions and percentage cover within an area of 4 × 7 m. The comparison of the statistical analysis for CPCe revealed that there were no significant differences (p < 0.05) between CP and CVT photos where dead corals (p = 0.006), sand (p = 0.011), and unknown (p = 0.002) are present. Additionally, the coral value (p = 0.131) between CP and CVT was not significant. CP was capable of producing prominent branching, massive, and plate coral morphology results. This suggests that survey methods using low-cost action cameras for 3D Coral Photogrammetry would yield appropriate results in terms of coral lifeform detection. Hypothetically, by improving camera quality, it will yield a higher accuracy of 3D coral images that are suitable for use in scientific research and management. Other benefits of using CP include the possibilities for future studies with 3D coral surveys using remotely operated vehicles, less field time, and 3D coral seabed information.

Abstract

The adsorption kinetics of water from an azeotropic mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water using chemically activated natural zeolites with and without a binder (starch) was investigated. In addition, an investigation of the compressive strength of zeolite pellets was conducted to ascertain the performance of the adsorbent for long-term operation. Three parameters were applied in the zeolite-making process: the particle size of zeolite (20, 30, 50, and 80 mesh), the sintering temperature (550, 750, and 1,000°C), the compaction pressure (2, 4, and 6 tonnes), and the starch-to-zeolite weight ratio (0, 1:3, 1:5, and 1:7). Initial screenings indicated that the strongest zeolite pellet was 80-mesh zeolite powder (without starch addition) that was compacted using 6 tonnes pressure and was sintered at 750°C. The adsorption tests using the strongest zeolite were conducted in a packed-bed column for three cycles, followed by compressive strength tests on the zeolite pellets after each cycle. According to the experimental data, zeolite pellets made without the addition of starch could adsorb up to 98.4% of the initial water in the mixture. From the four models proposed to describe the kinetics of adsorption of water from the mixture, the Freundlich model turned out to be the best model.

Abstract

The coastal boundary can be optimized for settlement and agriculture site based on a spatial plan for Kulon Progo Regency 2012–2032 within a minimum distance of 100m from the coastline. The location of ring 1 local transmigration settlement on the Bugel Coast is less than 100 m. The increasing trend in coastal erosion caused by climate change is a major contributing factor to the reduction of coastal borders. Thus, rapid assessment of coastal erosion vulnerability is necessary to determine an effective coastal management response. This paper aims to analyze the coastal erosion level using vulnerability assessment, geomorphology of coastal areas, and community resilience impact. The methods used in the mapping of coastal segments are smartline and coastal vulnerability index (CVI). The Smartline method is depicted with a line that runs along the coast with information on geomorphological conditions, whereas the CVI method will give weight to each physical parameter of coastal erosion vulnerability. Results showed that the average area of Bugel Coast decreased by 4,794.94 m2 /year and retreated by 4.36 m/year until the borders become closer to one another, thereby threatening the settlement area. The coastal erosion vulnerability was dominated by a moderate level of 325.14 m (30.48%) to a high level of 322.31 m (30.22%) of the total study areas. This result indicated the huge risk of coastal erosion. Therefore, effective community adaptation and mitigation strategies should be considered to reduce the degradation of coastal border resources and ensure the sustainability of local life, such as the combination of structural and non-structural mitigations that prioritize the sustainability of coastal ecosystems.

Abstract

This paper proposes a grand design for Merapi Irrigation Channel, an irrigation channel system spanning from Turi to Cangkringan District in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This design is based on Geographic Information System research to assess the feasibility of the system from two aspects, namely geophysics using site selection approaches (watershed and river region) and community aspirations, analyze potential water resource availability to support its sustainability, and construct a grand design. Primary data acquired from IKONOS image interpretation were used to collect geophysical and ?eld data for parameter mapping, and spatial data were modeled using Geographic Information System technology to determine paths, directions, and routes. Community aspirations were obtained by structured interviews with key informants and focus group discussions with community groups in village units. Results showed that the land carrying capacity geophysically allowed Krasak–Bedog Rivers as the permanent discharge of 123.78 m3/s of water, which is consistent with community aspirations for high irrigation water discharge in traversed districts. Overall, 19 rivers and 9 arti?cial retentions in the channel system respectively produced maximum discharges of 123.78 and 12 m3/s. The grand design included the construction of a 41 km long Merapi Channel from Turi (speci?cally Wonokerto Village) at 500 masl to Cangkringan (Glagaharjo) at 450 masl.

Abstract

Lactobacillus species are used as probiotics to inhibit human pathogens because of their ability to produce antimicrobial substances. However, when different kinds of antibiotics are used, the antibiotic resistance of drug-resistant bacteria increases. In this study, lactic acid-producing bacteria with antimicrobial activity were isolated and used as probiotics to inhibit six human pathogens, namely Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Salmonella typhi, and Shigella boydii. Nine bacterial isolates were obtained from the crude juice of sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum), strawberry (Fragaria ananassa), and fruit pulp of palm (Borassus flabellifer). Among them, three bacterial isolates (S1, SC, and PP) produced acid and clear zones around the colonies on Glucose Yeast Extract media supplemented with calcium carbonate (GYC). These three bacterial strains were then identified on the basis of colony morphology and using different biochemical tests. 16s rRNA sequencing identified the indigenous lactic acid-producing bacteria S1 as Lactobacillus plantarum and both isolates (SC and PP) as Leuconostoc mesenteroides. L. plantarum (S1) showed the best inhibition zone (12 mm) on pathogens S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and E. coli. Therefore, these lactic acid-producing bacteria isolated from various fermented fruit juices in Myanmar shows potential for development as probiotics.

Abstract

A novel high gain miniaturized rectangular microstrip patch antenna is proposed with a high front-to-back ratio (FBR) using a modified feed line and two single-sided substrate layers to operate at 2.4 GHz frequency. The feed line is modified using a step impedance technique to achieve resonance at the operating frequency. The matched impedance of the feed line helps achieve enhanced bandwidth and antenna miniaturization. The substrate layers are introduced to achieve an enhanced gain and FBR of 6.329 dBi and 27.64 dB, respectively. The impedance bandwidths of 106.9 and 94.1 MHz are achieved for the two separate designs. These proposed designs have a total circuit area occupancy of 0.4 ?0 × 0.304 ?0. The antenna has been designed and fabricated using FR4 substrate material. The measured results are in good agreement with the simulated results.

Abstract

The use of black soldier fly (BSF) as a bioconversion agent has become an emerging breakthrough in waste processing. Organic wastes, such as household waste and livestock manure, can be used as a growth medium for BSF larvae and converted into favorable products. The average composting time of BSF larvae is around 12– 15 days, which is faster than that of microbes or earthworms (4–5 weeks). BSF shows potential as a feed and food ingredient because it has a high nutritional content, such as enzyme, chitin, medium-chain fatty acid, and antimicrobial peptides, and can be used as a functional food ingredient. From an economical perspective, the short composting period and the role of BSF as a feed and food alternatives can benefit producers and consumers. The safety aspects of BSF utilization, including microbial safety, chemical safety, and environmental safety, warrant clarification to ensure BSF safety. However, some challenges arise regarding the use of BSF larvae (BSFL) as a bioconversion agent, such as for heavy metal residues, pesticide residues, pathogens, and antimicrobial gene transmission and residues that require the best composting strategy for mitigation. The environmental safety of organic waste treated with BSFL has a good impact; therefore, this strategy can be used to reduce global warming. Research must focus on effectively and safely enhancing the cultivation and processing of BSF and its applications as a functional food. In conclusion, BSF is a profitable alternative for organic waste bioconversion in developed and developing countries.

Abstract

The Pademawu coast has rapidly transformed into salt ponds, causing seawater intrusion and pollution. This study aims to examine the quality of groundwater in the surrounding settlement area of Pademawu and assess its eligibility for daily use. The psychochemical parameters of groundwater are measured in situ. Groundwater samples from several stations are analyzed in the laboratory and used to collect several chemical compounds, including Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, HCO3-, Cl-, SO42-, Fe2+, Mn2+, F-, NO2-, NO3, and CaCO3. The detected concentrations are then used to calculate TH, sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), %Na, PI, KR, and MH. Hydrochemical calculation and interpretation are also performed. The groundwater characteristics are determined according to TDS, conductivity, and water quality index (WQI). Results showed that the groundwater facies are predominated by Ca-HCO3 (50%) in the northern and middle study areas and Na-Cl (37%) in the salt farming area. The groundwater is categorized as SAR (C2S1) in the north and SAR (C4S2) in the south. The primary groundwater consists of Na+ and Cl- (dominant cation and anion) originating from salt farming. The TDS in the salt farming area ranges from 1000 mg/L to 3000 mg/L (slightly saline). The WQI ranges from 39.0 to 735.4, which encompasses excellent water, good water, very poor water, and unsuitable for consumption. Salt farming infiltration toward unconfined aquifers is the primary factor causing groundwater pollution. Mitigation efforts to minimize scattered infiltration must be applied in the Pademawu Subdistrict by modifying the system between salt farming and settlement areas.
