Abstract

The shifting cultivation system is a traditional farming system that is commonly used by indigenous communities in Timor Leste until now. Lautem Regency, Timor Leste still has the habit of implementing a shifting cultivation system, namely by clearing a certain area of land by cutting down and burning the forest and then planting it with various food crops such as corn, upland rice, beans, cassava and others. The land will be used for 2-3 years and will be abandoned because the land is no longer productive and new land will be opened that is still productive. This causes natural disasters, such as landslides, reduced water sources, floods, reduced biodiversity and micro and macro nutrients, organic matter, soil pH. So there is a need for research regarding fallowing time and the chemical properties of soil in shifting farming systems. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of fallowing time on the nutrient content N, P, K in the soil, the level of soil acidity (pH), and EC and C-organics in the soil. The research was conducted in Lautem Regency, Timor-Leste and at the Laboratory of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries of Timor Leste, carried out for two (2) months, namely in May and June 2022. The research used quantitative descriptive methods. Primary data collection is based on the needs and objectives of representing soil element data from each sample. Data obtained from the field is then analyzed in the laboratory to obtain quantitative data from each sample for analysis/comparison.  The research was conducted in two different areas, namely Lore and Tutuala sub-districts. There are differences in the nutrient content of N, P and K at each fallow age of the land with the highest results of N, P and K being the fallow age of the land more than 6 years. The results of the research show that the pH of the land in Lore and Tutuala Districts is from fallow age 3 to fallow age more than 6 years and months is still the standard for agricultural cultivation, namely the average pH is 6-7.2, while the EC cation exchange capacity is still relatively low, but the CEC (EC) is highest at fallow age 6 years, C - organic is classified as standard for agricultural land with the highest C - organic content at a fallow age of more than 6 years.

Abstract

Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) has been increasingly promoted in Indonesia as an alternative waste-to-energy solution, particularly for industrial applications such as cement production. This study presents a qualitative narrative review that explores the multidimensional environmental impacts of RDF implementation, with a specific focus on the Indonesian context. Four key themes were examined: air pollution, public health risks, low energy efficiency, and the lack of emission monitoring and environmental oversight. Findings indicate that RDF combustion contributes to hazardous emissions, including dioxins, heavy metals, and fine particulates, especially where waste segregation is inadequate. Public health issues such as respiratory infections and long-term toxic exposure are exacerbated by weak regulatory systems and the absence of Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS). Additionally, Indonesia’s high organic waste content undermines RDF’s energy efficiency and sustainability. The review concludes that RDF, in its current form, poses significant environmental and governance challenges and must be reevaluated through the lens of public health protection, regulatory reform, and circular economy principles.

Abstract

The ineffectiveness of hygiene and sanitation standards in the food industry, including the tofu industry in Indonesia, remains a significant issue. This condition increases the risk of Escherichia coli (E. coli) contamination, which can negatively impact public health. This study aims to provide an in-depth understanding of hygiene and sanitation practices in tofu businesses in Jomblang, Semarang City, and serve as a basis for improving food safety and hygiene standards. A descriptive quantitative approach was used, with data collected through interviews, observations, and laboratory tests. The analysis revealed that many hygiene aspects, such as equipment and raw material handling, did not meet the required standards, posing a risk of microbial contamination. Laboratory tests confirmed the presence of Escherichia coli in tofu soaking water samples, indicating potential health hazards for consumers. The implementation of hygiene and sanitation principles in food production must be optimized to improve product quality and prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

Abstract

A comprehensive survey of 400 freshwater samples was performed in and around Benghazi, Libya, for taxonomic study of Chlorophyta and Charophyta at the species level. Samples were collected from different water sites and resources: ponds, rain ponds, sewage ponds, artificial lakes, manmade reservoirs, water tanks, wet soils, and wet walls. During the period from February 2023 to January 2025, samples were randomly collected and preserved by 4% formalin.  A total of 66 species belonging to 43 genera, 21 families, and 7 orders of Chlorophyta were recorded, and 54 species are newly reported in Libya. A total of 14 species belonging to 8 genera, 6 families, and 4 orders of Charophyta were recorded, and 12 species are newly reported in Libya. These findings underscore the rich and previously underexplored diversity of Chlorophyta and Charophyta in Benghazi and Libya

Abstract

River water quality is vital to life, but anthropogenic activities have caused significant degradation, threatening aquatic ecosystems and clean water supplies. Although bioindicators have long been used to monitor river health, there has been no bibliometric review to analyze trends and research gaps in this field. Previous studies have mostly focused on specific species or physical-chemical parameters, but have not yet fully integrated an ecosystem indicator approach. Therefore, this study aims to address this gap by conducting a bibliometric analysis of publications on animals as bioindicators of river water quality. The method used is a bibliometric review using data from the Scopus database (2020–2024), analyzed using VOSviewer to visualize the co-occurrence of keywords, as well as a descriptive analysis of publication trends, journals, and fields of study. The results show a significant increase in publications since 2020, with Ecological Indicators and Science of the Total Environment as the leading journals, and Environmental Science as the dominant field of study. Co-occurrence analysis identified three main research clusters: ecology and communities, physiological responses to pollutants, and heavy metal contamination. These findings indicate that global research focus is concentrated on the impact of heavy metal pollutants, while the issues of microplastics and climate change on bioindicators are relatively less explored. This clustering pattern also emphasizes the importance of combining ecological, physiological, and pollution-related approaches, reflecting interdisciplinary advances in this area. In conclusion, the use of animals as bioindicators has a strong theoretical basis and offers an integrated approach to water management such as river. Future studies focusing on developing more sensitive bioassay methods and conducting long-term toxicity analyses are important, but they must also incorporate molecular tools such as eDNA and metabolomics to strengthen biomonitoring systems. In addition, decision makers are encouraged to implement bioindicators that use animals in water quality monitoring systems in order to improve early detection capabilities for river ecosystem degradation.

Abstract

The impact of global climate change has changed the cropping pattern system and the quality of carrying capacity and environmental capacity in accordance with current dynamics. Increased sea temperatures and the El-Nino and La-Nina phenomena cause changes in environmental conditions that affect monthly rainfall, thus disrupting the pattern and production of agricultural products. This study was conducted to ensure that the policy on carrying capacity and environmental capacity becomes a reference in all development planning documents in Central Java Province. The research objectives are analyzing the benefits and urgency of carrying capacity and environmental capacity in Central Java. And provide policy recommendations to integrate the carrying capacity and capacity of the environment in order to improve the achievement of the target indicators of sustainable development goals from the environmental sector as a basis for formulating sustainable development scenarios. The result of the study concluded that Central Java Province has not optimally implemented the carrying capacity and capacity policy in development planning so the negative impact of development in the form of environmental damage is still a priority issue in achieving sustainable development goals.
