Abstract

The number of paddy production in Labuhanbatu Utara Regency, North Sumatera Province, Indonesia, continues to decline from year to year, partly due to the reduction in the area of paddy fields. This was caused by land conversion from paddy fields to non-paddy fields. This research aims to analyze the pattern of changes in the process of paddy fields to non-paddy fields in Labuhanbatu Utara Regency and its suitability on the regional spatial plan between 2017 and 2021. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method. The data was processed and analyzed using an overlapping method on biophysical data, existing conditions, and other thematic data, using Geographic Information System. The results showed that there had been a reduction in the area from paddy fields to non-paddy fields of 2,992.88 hectares from 2017-2021. It is dominated by conversion from paddy fields to oil palm areas of 2,795.58 hectares. The conversion suitability of paddy fields to non-paddy fields in 2017-2021 against Labuhanbatu Utara regional spatial plan is 21.92 percent, while 78.08 percent is not. To maintain food security in Labuhanbatu Utara Regency, the government should tighten supervision of the implementation of the regional spatial plan as well as increase the allocation of paddy fields.

Abstract

The background of this research comes from the phenomenon that issuing groundwater utilization permits faces a few problems. First problem is public institutions or companies do not consider it important to get permits. Second problem is there is no research explaining how the permits relate with environmental law assessment. This study determines the impact of the issuing of groundwater utilization permits on environmental law and analyses the impact before and after receiving permits focusing on socio-economic, environment, and administrative aspects. Around 100 respondents from 100 institutions and companies in North Sumatera province are interviewed. For in-depth research we interview person in-charge of three different institutions Estomihi Medan Hospital, Grand Antares Hotel, and Bahagia Swimming Pool. By using SPSS software it shows that there is an impact of groundwater utilization permits on environmental law on the socio-economic and environmental aspects but not on the administrative aspect.

Abstract

One of the strategies for resolving non-performing loans carried out by banks is by way of cessie, which transfers all rights and obligations of the old Creditor over the debtor to the new Creditor. However, banking institutions that have a strategic role in supporting the implementation of national economic development will not be separated from the problem of bad credit, which can one day lead to disputes in social life. The research method in this research is normative juridical and descriptive analysis. The research was conducted with a statutory and case approach. The data collection technique is done by literature and field studies. As in decision Number 18/Pdt.G/2017/Pnkwg, the results of this research are the Arrangement of Settlement of Bad Credit Banking through the Transfer of Receivables Collection Rights (Cessie) which is regulated in Article 613 of the Civil Code and The form of dispute is known that the Defendant has defaulted on his obligations which are used as an analysis of the judge's considerations and decisions related to the problematic transfer of receivables collection rights through cessie in the judicial process.

Abstract

Deli watersheds are listed as one of the most heavily damaged watersheds in Indonesia, and this causes many problems, such as floods, flash floods, and landslides. Studying this watershed becomes essential because the Deli watershed passes through a major city and has become the main source of flood and other natural disasters in the city such as Medan, The study aims to detect the vulnerability level of the areas around the watershed and the most rapid and possible way to study it is by using remote sensing and GIS, the overlay method by considering several parameters that affect the level of vulnerability to flooding in Deli Watershed, North Sumatra. Some of the parameters considered include the topographic wetness index, slope, land elevation, river flow density, land use cover, normalized difference vegetation index, distance to river, and rainfall. Each parameter is given a weight and value according to each classifier. The overlay process is carried out using ArcGIS 10.8.1 software, results are divided into 5 levels of area vulnerabilities all around the area, the study shows that all parts of Medan City in the Deli watershed have a high level of flood vulnerability and some areas with higher ground elevation such as Tanah Karo have spots area that is vulnerable with floods such as Daulu District with 0.45 ha and Semangat Gunung District with 0.63 ha of its areas are vulnerable to floods. The Topographic wetness index, Normalized difference vegetation Index, slope, and land use are the main factors causing flooding with weighting values 16, 13, 11, and 14. The other parameters elevation, flow density, distance to the river, rainfall, and soil class each have weighting values 7, 10, 11, 8, and 10. Slope with a range of 0-8% in most areas of Medan City are classified as very prone to flood inundation. This is due to the area's flat topography and low river flow density, the existing 3.5 km old sewer in the Deli Tua area is unable to accommodate the flood inundation load in the city of Medan and it is necessary to build two new sewers which are more effective and efficient in diverting the flow of water, before entering the city of Medan which makes the area vulnerable to becoming a water catchment area when it rains, thereby increasing the risk of flooding. With this flood-prone map, efforts to manage and mitigate floods in Medan City can be carried out. Information on vulnerable locations can be used to take appropriate preventive and countermeasures, such as building adequate drainage, regulating land use, and controlling river flows.

Abstract

The feed media content plays an essential role in the growth of BSF larvae; appropriate feed content will provide optimal growth for BSF larvae. Agricultural industrial waste contains high levels of protein, fiber, and carbohydrates, which play an essential role in the growth and nutrition of BSF larvae. This study aims to determine the effect of providing agricultural waste as feed on the relative growth rate, rate of degradation of organic waste, and the nutritional content of BSF biomass. This research is an experimental study using various levels of experiments from the Laboratory of Standardization and Industrial Services Center in Medan, Indonesia, using the SNI 01-2891-1992 method, which consisted of ash content, carbohydrates, total fat, protein, and crude fiber. The results showed that the feed media's protein content would be more easily digested than the more complex carbohydrate and fiber content. It will increase protein content in feed media, giving a higher growth rate in larva BSF. The feed media with the highest protein content causes the feed media to be consumed more quickly, producing lower unconsumed feed residue and showing the highest degradation rate. The high protein content in the feed media can increase Proteobacteria bacteria and increase the protein bioconversion process in the intestines of BSF larvae.

Abstract

The hazardous heavy metal lead (Pb) can infiltrate the human body through the food chain. This study aimed to determine the maximum allowed amount of lead (Pb) and the lead heavy metal content in the meat of kapah clams (Meretrix lyrata) from Pantai Labu, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra Province. This study used stratified random sampling in three locations: Bagan Beach, Muara Serdang, and Putra Deli. Heavy metal lead (Pb) measurements were conducted using the Parkin Elmer Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) method with an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Maximum Tolerable Intake (MTI) or Maximum Weekly Intake (MWI) is divided by the amount of heavy metal lead (Pb) in Kapah Clam meat (Meretrix lyrata) to determine the permissible consumption limit. As a result, exceeding the MTI limit can lead to toxicity.

Abstract

Mangroves are subtropical and warm temperate intertidal ecosystems that sustain the well-being of humans and wildlife through a variety of services. However, the existence of mangroves is presently threatened by alterations in land use. From 2010 to 2022, mangrove areas in Pasar Rawa Village, Gebang District, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra province have decreased significantly. The destruction of mangrove forests is primarily caused by the neighboring community's activities. The purpose of this study was to assess the level of damage and density of mangroves in Pasar Rawa Village, as well as to examine the perceptions of locals regarding the management of mangrove ecosystems. The investigation was carried out from January to March 2023 by distributing the questionnaires to the 286 respondents. Based on the vegetation analysis and indexing vegetation analysis through Landsat 7 and Landsat 8 image processing, the amount of mangrove areas in Pasar Rawa Village decreased by 52.97 ha between 2010 and 2022, with the majority of mangrove areas being converted into oil palm plantations and fish farming ponds. It is dominated by the dense class of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) in 2022, despite the condition of the mangroves in Pasar Rawa Village still being classified as damaged during this recovery process. In addition, the outcome of public perception demonstrates that the management of the mangrove ecosystem is suitable and supports the capacity to create a sustainable mangrove ecosystem.
