Earthquake Risk Analysis for Disaster Management and Mitigation in Central Lombok

This research focuses on analyzing the risk of earthquake disasters in Central Lombok Regency for disaster management and mitigation purposes that can be implemented in the future. This disaster risk analysis has been prepared using a methodology adapted to the Regulation of the Head of the National Disaster Management Agency Number 02 of 2012 concerning General Guidelines for Disaster Risk Analysis, as well as referring to other guidelines applicable at national level ministries/institutions. Central Lombok Regency faces significant risks related to earthquakes, especially in the coastal, southern and central areas. The risk index value is obtained from data analysis related to the hazard, vulnerability and capacity components for each potential disaster grouped into 3 (three) levels/classes, namely 0-0.333 for low class, > 0.333-0.666 for medium class, and >0.666-1 for high class. The index values are different for each disaster, except for the regional capacity index which applies the same to all regions. The Central Lombok Regency disaster risk assessment was carried out at the village/sub-district level. Detailed results of the analysis of each disaster risk assessment index for all potential disasters in Central Lombok Regency are described for each component determining disaster risk assessment. The results of this research show that the highest risk of earthquake disasters is in East Praya at 31%, then the moderate disaster risk is in the Jonggat and Pringgarata areas at 65%, and the low risk is in the North Batuliang area at 68%.

Sensitivity of WRF-HAILCAST Model for Hailstone Detection in Central Lombok on 24 February 2019

Antagonistic Test of Bacteria Producing Siderophore and Protease Enzymes from The Rhizosfer of Peanut Plants on The Growth of Pathogenic Fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides

This study aims to determine the inhibitory effect of bacterial isolates producing siderophores and protease enzymes on the growth of the pathogenic fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. The initial stage of research begins with the isolation of pathogenic bacteria and fungi, and is followed by testing the production of siderophores and protease enzymes. Bacteria were isolated from the rhizosphere of peanut plants, while pathogenic fungi were isolated from large chili fruit infected with anthracnose disease taken from Jelantik Village, Central Lombok Regency. Characterization of isolates for siderophore production used the Arnow method, while the protease enzyme production test used SKIM Milk Agar media. Next, the inhibition test of bacterial isolates against pathogenic fungi was carried out using the dual culture method. Characterization of potential isolates was carried out by observing bacterial colony morphology, gram staining and biochemical tests. The results of the siderophore production test showed that there was one isolate capable of producing siderophores with the isolate code RKT2. Meanwhile, the protease enzyme production test showed that all bacterial isolates produced protease enzymes, where isolate RKT9 had the highest Proteolytic Index, namely 1.57. The two isolates showed different inhibitory test results, namely isolate RKT2 had high inhibition, while RKT9 had low inhibition. The results of the research showed that a bacterial isolate (RKT2) from the rhizosphere of peanut plants was able to inhibit the growth of the pathogenic fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides in the high category.

Primary Productivity of Phytoplankton in Mandalika Coastal Area, Central Lombok Regency

The research entitled "Primary Productivity of Phytoplankton in Mandalika Coastal Area, Central Lombok Regency" was conducted from March to August 2023.

The lowest productivity value (122.619 mgC/m2/day) occurs at station III classified as mesotrophic. Station III also has relatively lower physical and chemical parameter values such as an average pH of 7.7 mg/L and an average temperature of 29ºC compared to other stations. The highest productivity value (329.166 mgC/m2/day) occurred at Station II classified as eutrophic and Station I (189.285 mgC/m2/day) also classified as eutrophic. This is supported by pH worth 7.8 mg/L and temperatures ranging from 29.3 - 29.7 ºC, where the value is relatively higher than station III.

Regulation of intergovernmental disputes: The aviation industry case study

The main problem in this paper is a dispute between the government of West Nusa Tenggara Province (NTB) Indonesia, and the government of Central Lombok Regency about the fight to name the airport. This paper aims to explain that the struggle for the name of Lombok International Airport (BIL) to become Zainuddin Abdul Madjid International Airport (BIZAM) in Lombok has become a dispute between Levels 1 and 2 local governments. The form of conflict is that the NTB Level 1 local government wants an airport called BIZAM, while the Central Lombok Level 2 regional government wants BIL. This paper uses in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation methods. The results of this paper show that the conflict occurs because there are planned elements carried out by Levels 1 and 2 local governments that are indirectly affiliated with one particular religious or social group in the fight for airport naming. For this reason, this article implies that the conflict occurs solely because it wants to maintain the identity and for the sake of the self-esteem of each group or socio-religious organization.

Determinants of Goods/Services Procurement Fraud with Performance Accountability as Moderation in Central Lombok Regency Government

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of competence and opportunity, as well as organizational commitment to PBJ fraud, directly or with performance accountability as a moderation variable. The study was conducted on a sample of goods and services procurement actors in Central Lombok Regency, with as many as 120 respondents. Data analysis was done using SmartPLS. The results showed the correlation of variables in Goods/Services Procurement Fraud (PBJ) with the principles of agency theory and the fraud triangle. The competence of PBJ implementers has a negative influence on PBJ fraud, in line with agency theory, which emphasizes the importance of highly competent individuals in reducing opportunities for unethical behavior in public agencies. Strong organizational commitment also shows a negative influence on PBJ fraud, confirming agency principles that emphasize adherence to procurement processes. On the other hand, the finding that opportunity has a positive effect on PBJ fraud is in line with the fraud triangle theory, which highlights that opportunity in the procurement system can facilitate fraudulent practices. The role of performance accountability that strengthens the influence of competence and commitment to PBJ fraud is in line with the fraud triangle theory, affirming the importance of accountability in controlling fraud opportunities. These findings consistently support the principles of agency theory and the fraud triangle in the context of the procurement of goods and services in the public sector.

STUDI ANATOMI TANAMAN KOMAK KEDIT (Phaseolus lunatus L.) LOKAL DI PULAU LOMBOK

Plant anatomy is one of the important basic data to reveal the potential of a plant. Anatomical data provide an overview of the internal structure of the plant body. This structure is influenced by the environment, the same thing is also likely to occur in Komak kedit plants which are widely planted on Lombok Island. Komak kedit (Phaseolus lunatus L.) is a species of legume (Fabaceae) originating from Central America. The purpose of this study was to analyze the differences or variations in the anatomical structure of the Komak kedit (P. lunatus) on Lombok Island. Data analysis in this research was descriptive qualitative and triangulation. The results showed that the anatomical structure of the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds of the Komak kedit plant on Lombok Island had similar structure, such as epidermis, cortex, and stele. However, in this study, there were more differences in the number of stomata on leaves in West Lombok compared to East Lombok, Central Lombok, North Lombok, and Mataram. This was caused by differences in the environment where the plants were planted, such as water content.
