Tech Tools for Anticipating Human Trafficking in Archipelago State

The current mitigation efforts of human trafficking fail to combat cross-border trafficking in the sea. On the other hand, most of the studies in human trafficking have not dealt with the context of transporting victims via seaport. This paper attempts to critically discuss the process and consequences of transporting victims of human trafficking via illegal seaport. Part of the objective is to propose compatible tech tools to anticipate potential victims. A qualitative approach was employed since investigating human trafficking in Riau Islands' seaports needs a robust research method. Thus, a case study is selected to focus on a single exit point phenomenon for sending migrant workers who have been identified as a group at high risk of human trafficking. Riau Islands, specifically Bintan Island and Batam Island, were selected as samples of case studies because these are critical locations for sending and repatriating victims. The current study found that an archipelago country like Indonesia deals with multifaceted challenges in combating human trafficking. Moreover, there is a significant shift in human trafficking crime from recruiting to executing due to the cyber world's invention. One unanticipated finding is that social networks and cybercrime have expanded the possibilities for supplying victims. This study contributes to research on human trafficking by introducing tech tools that may help overcome the problems.

Analisis Regulasi Kewenangan Bidang Pertanahan di Kota Batam

An investig-ation into the epidemiology of chikungunya virus across neglected regions of Indonesia.

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an important emerging and re-emerging public health problem worldwide. In Indonesia, where the virus is endemic, epidemiological information from outside of the main islands of Java and Bali is limited. Four hundred and seventy nine acutely febrile patients presenting between September 2017-2019 were recruited from three city hospitals situated in Ambon, Maluku; Banjarmasin, Kalimantan; and Batam, Batam Island as part of a multi-site observational study. CHIKV RNA was detected in a single serum sample while a separate sample was IgM positive. IgG seroprevalence was also low across all three sites, ranging from 1.4-3.2%. The single RT-PCR positive sample from this study and 24 archived samples collected during other recent outbreaks throughout Indonesia were subjected to complete coding region sequencing to assess the genetic diversity of Indonesian strains. Phylogenetic analysis revealed all to be of a single clade, which was distinct from CHIKV strains recently reported from neighbouring regions including the Philippines and the Pacific Islands. Chikungunya virus strains from recent outbreaks across Indonesia all belong to a single clade. However, low-level seroprevalence and molecular detection of CHIKV across the three study sites appears to contrast with the generally high seroprevalences that have been reported for non-outbreak settings in Java and Bali, and may account for the relative lack of CHIKV epidemiological data from other regions of Indonesia.

Atmospheric Corrosion to Steel Pile on Meulaboh and Pipeline Structure along Jambi - Riau Area

This study indicated the deterioration of the steel pipe and beam structure in west coast Sumatra made of ASTM A252, and also pipeline along Riau land-Jambi - Batam Island. It was found that severest corrosion occurs at the rate up to 1.6 mm/year (63 mpy) on the steel cross beam-800 on west coast Sumatra. Whereas the corrosion rates on ASTM A234 and API 5L steel structures along the pipeline across Riau - Jambi - Batam occur from the high-to-severe up to 0.43 mm/year (17 mpy) mainly on pipe elbow 16” diameter. Due to this corrosion attack, the steel infrastructure requires whole protection including sacrificial thickness, surface coating, and cathodic protection. The corrosion attack data may be used to provide the required effort and its priority to protect the steel pile and pipe infrastructures on Sumatra Island.
