After decades of global warming many are still in the dark as what needs to bedone to overcome this world threat that affects single citizen of the planet earth. The word ‘sustainability’ has been used very loosely, some not knowing the exact meaning of it only with intentions to gain research grant for the academics, profit making by keeping by the general business environment, thus leading to dumping the market with green-washing products. Those who seriously know the true meaning are not many and many times frustrated with the doings of the many which do not. This presentation hopefully providesome useful insights as to what sustainability means and for the necessary green initiatives that need to be taken to reduce further aggravation of the borderless geographical environment. Future growth in all countries are converging into a common trend and therefore efforts need to be in tandem and synchronized for a more effective win against this pervasive war of the world. Most tangible efforts are normally easily observed in the socio economic trend that affects the built environment of individual countries. The commoncues of the world are that it is getting hot, flat and crowded and to overcome this force is no easy task for any nation since the rhythm and tempo of growth of each nation differs. But one thing is common, that the rate of urbanization is rapid throughout the world. It was reported that by about 2030 the land-use for urbanization will be about 75% all over the world and so a relook at the socio economic policies must be geared towards how urbanization do not worsen the already bad situation from global warming.

This study was aimed at finding out the investigation of mucosal mast cells in intestines of chicken that were naturally infected by Ascaridia galli. Amount of ten intestine of freshly slaughtered chickens (Gallus domesticus) found from local abatoir in Banda Aceh were divided into two groups containing five intestines of each. Mucosal mast cells count were done of which histologic slides were made in stained serial histological sections with Alcian blue (pH 0,3) and Safranin-O (pH 0,1) of the intestines. The result showed that the mucosal mast cells increased significantly (P 0.05) in intestines of chickens infected naturally by survival A. galli adult worms. It was concluded that the intestinal defense of chickens against parasite infection is associated with the mucosal mast cells contribution by creating an environment hostile to the establishment and survival of intestinal nematodes, A. galli.

The new method for determining ground-motion parameters in the next edition of the Indonesian Earthquake Resistant Building Code SNI 03-1726-X, which will be issued in this year, has significant changes than the old code. The major changes in SNI 03-1726-X are using Risk-Targeted Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCER) Spectral Response Acceleration maps. These maps developed by Team for Revision of Seismic Hazard Maps of Indonesia were based on probabilistic approach for 2% probability of exceedance in 50 years and deterministic approach by using three-dimensional seismic source models and by considering latest geological and seismological data and fragility curve of buildings. For building design, it has been decided that ASCE 7-10 will be adopted for coming code SNI 03-1725-X. The design philosophy adopted from ASCE 07-10 standard contains a significant addition consisting of a constant-displacement segment of the design response spectrum. This paper presents the proposed parameter TL developed by the author and Disaster Mitigation Research Center ITB (Pusat Penelitian Mitigasi Bencana ITB) to provide more realistic estimates of the ground motions at periods T 4 sec by consisting a constant-displacement segment.

Irrigation water management problems will arise if there is a shortage of waterin rice fields. Shortage of water in rice fields can be evaluated by the efficiency of existing irrigation.Based on the Indonesian‟s irrigation design criteria 65%, the project efficiency for Irrigation Planning is 65%. This value when compared to some countries in Asia was still much greater. This might be caused by undeterminating the water losses in the rice field. The study aims to determine the efficiency of irrigation in rice fields (Field Application Efficiency) is actually through direct measurements in the field, started at the land preparation up to the growth of rice plants. Measurements were taken at one tertiary JKr21Kr in Krueng Jreue Irrigation Region. To evaluate the efficiency of irrigation in ricefields used two methods of measurement. Inflow-outflow method for measuring the delivery of irrigation water in rice fields (Vf) which use the modified pipes that serves as the entrance and exit of water in the tertiary, the difference between incoming water and outgoing water is the amount of water used in rice fields. Water balance in the field is measured using Drum technique method with a diameter of 50 cm and height 125 cm. The drums are planted in the ground and a quarter of the height of the drum located above thesurface. By this equipment, the evapotranspiration parameters, percolation and effective rainfall can be obtained. These results showthat the efficiency of irrigation in rice fields (Ea) of 65.29%. It means that actually the project efficiency is 42.44% far below than Indonesian‟s criteria.

This study was specified in documenting Mimosa reaction in the state of defoliation on the plants. As defoliation was believed to cause plants experiencing both positive and/or negative effects on its growth performance, thus among the aim of this study is to monitor the emergence of foliar buds in respond with vary level of defoliation intensities. The seedlings were grown singly in polybags up to four leaf stage as. Grown seedlings were randomly subjected under four different defoliation intensities: control (un-defoliated), 25%, 50%, and 100% in which 10 replicates of seedling for each treatment. Experiment was ceased at the 6th month after establishment of plants grew. Results shown that, the effect of defoliation on the production of foliar buds was significantly difference between the treatments (P 0.05). As compared with 25%, 50% and 100% defoliation, un-defoliated plants showed the highest amount of foliar buds production which is 14 buds. While, there were no differences amount of foliar buds production between 25% and 50% defoliation with 5 foliar buds per plants. Emergence of foliar buds was reportedly lowest in 100% defoliation plant when there were no sign of buds emergence. Results concluded that, the subjected plants of control, 25% and 50% leaves defoliation treatments, were able to performed tolerance effect relative to the induced stressor. Apart from that, experiment revealed that the 100% defoliation has probability of detrimental effect on growth and reproduction of Mimosa seedling as it hindrance the germination of foliar buds.

This study developed an alternative municipal sewage treatment system based on the pilot- and full-scale experiments. This proposed system consisting of upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) and trickling filter using a polyurethane sponge as packing material. This aerobic process was originally developed and named as a down-flow hanging sponge (DHS). DHS reactors accomplished high process performance during pilot- and full-scale experiments in Japan and other countries. The effluent quality of the DHS reactors was comparable to that of activated sludge systems. Moreover, advantages of DHS reactors include simple operation and maintenance (OM), no required oxygen supply, small land requirement, and less excess sludge production. Indeed, the estimated energy requirement and excess sludge production of UASB and DHS systems were found to be approximately 75 and 85 % lower than those of conventional activated sludge systems, respectively. The high process performance can be attributed to the fact that the DHS reactor maintains much of the sludge in the reactor at concentrations 5–10 times higher than activated sludge. This indicates that DHS reactors have the potential for use as reliable, affordable, and efficient treatment systems, and can be used widely including developing countries.
