Species diversity of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae), larval habitat characteristics, and potential as vectors for lymphatic filariasis in Central Bengkulu Regency, Indonesia.

Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a vector-borne disease in various regions of Indonesia. The transmission dynamics within a locality are intricately linked to the presence of the pathogen (microfilaria), definitive host (humans), intermediate host (mosquitoes), reservoir, and environmental factors. The geographic landscape of Central Bengkulu Regency, which is characterized by plantations, marshlands, and forests, serves as a suitable habitat for mosquitoes. Understanding species diversity, vector behaviors, habitat characteristics, and microfilarial presence is crucial for devising effective and efficient control strategies. This study aimed to identify species diversity, assess biting patterns, characterize larval habitats, and detect microfilarial presence in mosquitoes. Mosquito collection was conducted using human landing collection (HLC) and resting collection indoors and outdoors for 6 months at a frequency of twice monthly from November 2022 to May 2023. The larvae were collected using dippers and pipettes. Adult mosquitoes and larvae were identified at the species level and analyzed using diversity indices. The measured larval bioecological parameters included physical, chemical, and biological conditions. The mosquito density obtained through HLC was calculated using the man-hour density (MHD) and man-biting rate (MBR) formulas. The presence of microfilaria was confirmed using a polymerase chain reaction. A total of 808 adult mosquitoes from five genera and 18 species were captured, along with 485 larvae from four genera and eight species. The mosquito diversity was moderate. The dominant adult species included Armigeres subalbatus (44.8%), whereas Aedes albopictus (25.4%) and Ar. subalbatus (22.3%) were abundant larvae. The highest larval density was observed in natural ponds. The average MBR was three mosquitoes per person per night, with fluctuating nightly activity (mean MHD of 1.8 mosquitoes per person per hour). Larval habitats had temperatures of 25.4°C-28.7°C, illumination of 224-674 lx, and pH of 7.1-7.9, with over half being turbid and nearly two-thirds lacking predators. Microfilariae were not detected in the tested mosquitoes. The presence of mosquitoes, their habitat, and the high density of Ar. subalbatus contributes to the transmission of LF in Central Bengkulu Regency, Indonesia.

Strategi Mahasiswa dalam Merevitalisasi TPQ Nurul Iman

Al-Quran education park is one of the informal institutions in the field of religious education that is currently developing in the midst of society.

This TPQ is in an environment with the quantity of parents and children both leading to continue to study and understand the Koran, it's just that the TPQ rarely operates due to several factors. The purpose of this research is to revitalize TPQ Nurul Iman so that it can be used and operate properly like the function of TPQ in general. The method used in this research is the Qualitative method by conducting observations and interviews to explore in-depth information about existing problems. In this activity, several conclusions can be drawn, namely: First, with the revitalization program carried out by KKN students, it is expected to be able to maintain the quantity and quality of the TPQ. Second, it is hoped that with the hearings conducted by students with the TPQ and village officials, they will be able to pay more attention to TPQ and provide additional teaching staff so that there will be no worries for parents in entrusting their children to TPQ Nurul Iman. Third, with the revitalization that occurs, it is hoped that later the TPQ can operate according to its function and not experience a vacuum again.

The Combination of Hvsr and Masw Methods with Landsat 8 Imagery to Assess the Changing Shoreline along the Coastal Area of Central Bengkulu

The Central Bengkulu Regency possesses a coastline measuring 21.8 km, situated in direct proximity to the Indian Ocean. The heightened wave and ocean current dynamics possess the capacity to induce detrimental effects in the form of coastal abrasion along the coastline. This study conducted an examination of the rate of shoreline changes resulting from coastal abrasion in Central Bengkulu Regency, Bengkulu, Indonesia. Horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) analysis, multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW), and Landsat-8 remote sensing were all used in the current investigation. The project gets started with conducting field investigations and measurements of geophysical techniques, including the collection of Landsat-8 satellite imagery spanning the period from 1990 to 2020. Additionally, an examination was conducted on the rate at which the shoreline undergoes changes in velocity. In order to determine the increase in change that occurs along coastlines over a period of several decades, a study was carried out during which Landsat-8 satellite images were analyzed. This study investigates the application of the HVSR technique for assessing the seismic vulnerability of the ground and, additionally, the MASW technique for measuring the shear wave velocity of the coastline’s soil. Both of these methodologies are compared and contrasted with one another in this research. The findings indicated that the mean pace of coastline change in Central Bengkulu Regency was 1.5 m/yr, with the maximum velocity recorded at 4.1 m/yr. This high velocity of shoreline change is correlated with the Vs30 value of MASW measurement and Kg of HVSR measurement, where the subsurface soil structure along the coast of Central Bengkulu Regency from Vs30 measurement shows that it is dominated by stiff soil structure that is susceptible to erosion. Outcomes from the study can inform decision-making processes about safeguards and preventative measures to prevent further coastal degradation. HIGHLIGHTS In this paper, we present a framework using application passive and active seismic method with Landsat 8 for knowing the changing of shoreline coastal area in Central Bengkulu Indonesia This study demonstrated that the high velocity of the shifting shoreline is correlated with Vs30 and Kg values The subsurface soil structure is predominantly composed of stiff soil, and the changing shoreline starts at 1.5 mm/yr, which makes the coast of Central Bengkulu vulnerable to erosion GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
