Abstract

Malaria is  an infections disease of global concern, The subdistrict of Arongan lambalek in Aceh Barat district which belongs to the Medium Incidence Area category was a malaria endemic area with API with 3,67 at 1000  Population in 2013. The Annual Parasite Incidence was higher than National Parasite Malaria Incidence than is less API  1 at 1000 population. The aim of the study was to analyze the characteristic, socio-economic, behavioral, environmental factors to determine the influence of malaria incidence in Arongan lambalek sub district, Aceh Barat regency. This study was designed as case control or retrospective. As the case of the study, there were thirty-three (33) malaria positive people were involved. Laboratory test or rapid diagnostic test  was employed to select 33 respondents from malaria negative. Thus, make totally 66 respondents. The result of this study shows that there are five variables are risk factors for the incidence of malaria such as occupation (p-value =0,000, OR = 0,05), knowledge (p-value =0,000, OR =  17,5), attitude (p-value =0,001, OR = 7,43), action (p-value = 0,000, OR =  9,8) and  environment (p-value =  0,000, OR =  9,0). The result of multivariate analysis shows that knowledge is the risk factor with the most dominant influence on the incident of malaria (p = 0,006, OR=12,783, Confidence interval (CI) 95% =2,045– 79,893). Need for outreach to the community about malaria do this more often for more knowledge and and society information.

Abstract

Magnetic gradiometer survey has been conducted on the yard of the archaeological site of Masjid Tuha Indrapuri, Aceh Besar Regency, Aceh Province. The site is one of the oldest mosques erected during the Aceh Sultanate period. Magnetic method was applied for mapping archaeological structures buried beneath the surface. Total magnetic field data were measured using Proton Precession Magnetometer with grid spacing of 2 meters between stations covering the entire area of the site. Diurnal and international geomagnetic reference field data were corrected to the measured data in order to calculate total magnetic field anomalies that were influenced by the buried magnetic objects. The total magnetic field anomalies distribution shows two elongated structures with U-shaped patterns surrounding the mosque. The patterns are also revealed in reduction to the pole and derivative vertical filters of the total field anomaly data. The anomaly patterns are considered a response from the rest of the buried fences that were built around the mosque in the past.

Abstract

Heroes Park City Forest has  a high vegetation density in Purworejo Regency, Central Java province, absorbing and storing carbon from the atmosphere. This study analyzes the value of carbon stock, sequestration, and tree composition in the Heroes Park City Forest. Data collection was carried out in February 2021, using three randomly distributed 20 x 100 m plots. Analysis of carbon stock data, important value index, and diversity index was carried out quantitatively descriptively. The results showed that the carbon stock value of trees was 116.84 tons ha-1, which according to Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation or REDD+, was included in the high carbon stock category. The value of carbon sequestration in Heroes Park urban forest is 428.80 tons ha-1, which is higher than some city forests in Indonesia. The sampling location is covered with 157 tree species, dominated by Acacia auriculiformis, and has a moderate level of tree diversity. Vegetation dominated by Acacia auriculiformis from Fabaceae contributed 43 percent of the total carbon stock in Heroes Park. Abiotics such as rainfall, air temperature, and humidity in Purworejo City support the growth of plants from the Fabaceae. Therefore, Heroes Park City Forest in Purworejo Regency has high carbon storage or carbon stock and sequestration values and needs to be monitored annually to maintain this potential.
