Study of Bacteriological Content and Risk Factors of Drinking Water Consumption Patterns in Cases of Stunting Toddler

Stunting is one of global nutrition problems, especially in developing countries including Indonesia. The prevalence of stunting in Demak Regency, Indonesia, in 2021 was 4.34%, and in 2022 it was 2.99%. However, stunting problem remains a priority because the impact of stunting can hinder efforts to enhance the health of the society and the development of the quality of human resources. Risk factors for stunting are influenced by behavioral aspects of the environment, like sanitation and drinking water. This study aimed to determine the content of bacteriological factors that contribute to the risk pattern of drinking water consumption in cases of stunting toddlers in Temuroso Village, Working Area of Guntur I Health Center, Demak Regency, Indonesia. This study was a quantitative observational case study. The population included families and toddlers in Temuroso Village, totaling as many as 854 people. The sampling technique was purposive sampling, so the sample size was 182 people for cases and controls. Data analysis used Chi-Square test and linear regression test. The bacteriological content was predominantly negative (66.5%), with the majority of subjects showing no infections (67%). Most participants fell into the high drinking water consumption category (62.1%). Stunting incidence was significantly associated with bacteriological content (p <0.0001) and drinking water consumption patterns (p <0.0001). Among these, bacteriological content was the most dominant factor influencing stunting (exp B =0.199). In summary, the primary risk factors for stunting among toddlers in Temuroso Village, within the Guntur I Health Center working area, Demak Regency, were bacteriological content (p <0.000) and drinking water consumption patterns (p <0.000).

Morphodynamic Cartography Visualization of Wulan River Estuary Systems from Space to Numerical Approach Based on Multi-Season Analysis

This research aims to investigate the morphodynamics of the Wulan River estuary in Demak Regency using the integration of multispectral remote sensing images and numerical modeling. In this study, PlanetScope for a manualvisual analysis of estuary morphodynamics and Sentinel-2 MSI Level 2A to obtain periodic total suspended solids (TSS) information for the east and west monsoon seasons. MIKE by DHI software used to develop hydrodynamic numerical modeling in order to characterize the current circulation and sediment transport model. Based on a marine cartography aspect, the obtained results illustrated that the climatological phenomenon of seasonal forcing plays a role in the development of the current circulation and indirectly influences the sediment transport. During the west season, the morphodynamics in the Wulan River estuary are much more massive and significant as compared to the east season. A projection of the deposition that results from the sediment transport is described in the bed-thickness change; this occurs in the western part of the Wulan River estuary during the east season, while the bed-thickness change occurs predominantly in the northern part during the west season (where there was previously a beach sandbar phenomenon). This was verified through multi-temporal satellite imagery that the deposition that occurs in the northern part of the Wulan River estuary during the west season is increasingly progressive and massive.

ANALISIS INTEGRASI PASAR SPASIAL HARGA TELUR AYAM RAS MENGGUNAKAN METODE VECTOR ERROR CORRECTION MODEL

Purebred chicken eggs are one of the staple commodities whose price development continues to be monitored by the government. To maintain price stability of purebred chicken eggs, an understanding of spatial market integration is needed. Spatial market integration can show the level of closeness between markets in a region. The spatial market integration in this study was modeled using the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) method. The VECM method was chosen with the aim of seeing the relationship between the price movement of purebred chicken eggs both in the short and long term, seeing the interaction of relationships that occur in each region and forecasting the price of purebred chicken eggs. The research objects used include the price of purebred chicken eggs in Semarang City, Salatiga City, Demak Regency, and Pati Regency in the period January 2021 to December 2022. The data used is weekly time series data that has met the stationary test at the first differential level. Based on the Johansen cointegration test on the four regions, 3 cointegrations were obtained, indicating that in each short-term period all variables adjust to each other to achieve long-term equilibrium. Granger's causality test in this study showed that not all variables have a two-way relationship. The resulting MAPE value is less than 10%, so the resulting model is very feasible to use.

The effect of abrasion on resilience of fishermen/ Fish farmer livelihoods on the North coast of central Java

Fishermen on the North Coast (Pantura) of Central Java are affected by abrasion and have decreased economically and environmentally. In this context, tidal flooding damaging ponds, mangroves, public facilities, roads, and settlements allow people in coastal area to immediately adapt to livelihoods. Therefore, this research aimed to identify resilience of fishermen/ fish farmer on Pantura coast affected by abrasion. Qualitative data analysis was carried out with a constructivist-interpretivist method to produce social realities from social construction. This research was conducted in 3 regencies between April - June 2024 in Central Java with the largest abrasion areas, namely Brebes Regency, Semarang City, and Demak Regency. The selected regencies and the 3 villages had the largest abrasion area. Snowball sampling was used to obtain 20 fishermen from each village; hence, the total number of respondents was 180. The results showed that there were 10 coping strategies applied by fishermen/ fish farmer in livelihoods to analyze with the effect of abrasion. Most fishermen/ fish farmer only apply coping strategies in relation to limited resources, skills, education and ability to take advantage of opportunities. A total of 39% respondents applied the strategy of adding other jobs outside fisheries sector. Respondents obtained additional income with a relatively low business risk compared to fisheries or marine sector. There were only 5 coping strategies used to increase livelihoods by adding other jobs outside and in fisheries sector, raising houses, installing nets and making embankments.

Prediction and Simulation for Land Use and Land Cover Change of Paddy Field Influence by Salinization in Coastal Demak Regency

The extent of coastal rice paddy agricultural land is vulnerable to land use and land cover (LULC) changes to non-agricultural uses due to land degradation, one of which is caused by salinity. This study aims to detect and project LULC changes up to 2031, particularly in coastal rice paddy areas affected by salinity, by comparing LULC in 2017, 2019, and 2021. Sentinel-2 Imagery is used for LULC classification, with recordings selected during the generative phase of rice growth to obtain the most optimal rice paddy area. There are six LULC classifications: water, wetland, low-medium-high vegetation cover, and built-up area. To understand the impact of salinity on crops, several vegetation indices (VIs) such as NDVI, SAVI, EVI, and ARVI are used. The LULC changes classified according to VIs are compared with the MOLUSCE plugin based on artificial neural networkmultilayer perceptron (ANN-MLP) and Cellular Automata (CA). The comparison of VIs results shows that NDVI is better at describing LULC changes due to the influence of salinity, with a kappa value of 0.63 and a Correctness of 72.565. The LULC projection using CA in all VIs indicates that wetland areas are more likely to convert into water bodies, suggesting that high salinity land tends to be unproductive for rice paddies, making it prone to conversion.

Pemberdayaan dan Partisipasi Masyarakat dalam Pengelolaan Ekosistem Mangrove: Strategi Regenerasi Lingkungan di Desa Bedono, Demak

The abrasion and tidal disasters had the impact of reducing the area of Bedono Village, both administratively and functionally. Environmental regeneration through mangrove ecosystem management that focuses on community participation and empowerment is a solution to overcome these impacts. However, low participation, the existence of people who are less empowered, and a lack of understanding of the importance of mangroves are problems raised in this research. This research was conducted with the aim of analyzing the relationship between empowerment and participation of coastal communities in managing mangrove ecosystems as an environmental regeneration effort in Bedono Village, Demak Regency. This research method is a mixed method using quantitative and qualitative approaches and carried out 4 stages of analysis, including quantitative descriptive analysis, scoring and weighting, Spearman Rank correlation, and qualitative descriptive analysis. The research results show that there is a positive relationship between mangrove ecosystem management, the level of empowerment, and forms of community participation. The mangrove ecosystem in Bedono Village has an ecological function (resisting abrasion and tidal erosion), a socio-economic function (development of MSMEs and creating employment opportunities), as well as a socio-cultural function (ecotourism). The community also has a level of empowerment in the "sufficient" criteria and the form of community participation that dominates is contractual participation at 77%. So, efforts to regenerate the environment through mangrove ecosystem management will work well if the community is empowered and has control over managing the mangrove ecosystem.

Variability of soil chemical properties and rice productivity in salt-affected soil in the north coastal rice field of Central Java, Indonesia

A coastal rice field is generally characterized by salt-affected soil and low soil quality for rice cultivation. Identifying soil chemical properties in these areas is necessary to determine soil management options for rice production. Therefore, soil samples were collected from 33 sampling points in the Wedung Sub-district of Demak Regency in the late dry season of 2021 to evaluate the variation among soil chemical characteristics in a coastline rice field. Soil samples were obtained beneath the topsoil (0-20 cm soil depth) and observed for electrical conductivity, exchangeable potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, and cation exchange capacity. Soils in the research field were categorized as slightly salty (0.75-2 dS m-1) to lightly salty (2.0-4.0 dS m-1) with very high sodium (>2 cmol(+) kg-1). Exchangeable potassium was dominated by moderate (0.3-0.7 cmol(+) kg-1) and low categories (0.2-0.3 cmol(+) kg-1). Based on soil calcium-to-magnesium ratios, around 6% of all samples were classified as calcium-deficient. The range of soil cation exchange capacity was 22-30 cmol(+) kg-1 and classified as high soil cation exchange capacity. Rice productivity in the salt-affected soil was around 4 t ha-1. Strategies for soil and controlling plants, such as soil amelioration and salt-tolerant rice cultivars, should be pursued to support plant growth and enhance rice productivity in the salt-affected soil, particularly in the coastal area.

Microtremor Analysis to Identify Fissure Vulnerable Zones in Demak, Central Java, Indonesia

Demak Regency, located in Central Java, Indonesia stands out among the regencies for its rapid development and regional growth, leading to a significant reliance on groundwater. This is thought to be caused by low precipitation and the geological characteristics of Demak Regency, which is mostly located on alluvial plains. To address these concerns, this study aimed to pinpoint regions vulnerable to ground fractures resulting from excessive groundwater extraction compounded by seismic activity. The research encompassed 191 locations, including 177 single station microtremor measurement points and 14 array microtremor measurement points. Single station microtremor measurements utilized the Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) method, while array measurements employed the Spatial Autocorrelation (SPAC) method. Ground shear strain values spanning from 32.12 × 10-6 - 96.39 × 10-6. Notably, areas exhibiting heightened values are concentrated in Wonosalam Subdistrict and the Southwest of Karangtengah Subdistrict. The morphology of the bedrock within the study area tends to mirror the sedimentary layer's thickness, reflecting relatively minimal surface height discrepancies at the measurement points. Vulnerability to fissures resulting from excessive groundwater extraction and seismic activity is concentrated on the north side of Wonosalam District, the eastern sector of Demak District, and a small section of Mijen District.

PsbA-trnH Intergenic Spacer profile of Wax Apple (Syzygium samarangense (Blume) Merr. & L.M. Perry) Cultivars

The fruit known as wax apple, scientifically named Syzygium samarangense (Blume) Merr. & L.M. Perry, is a well-liked agricultural product originating from Demak Regency in the Central Java Province. When it is difficult to distinguish between different forms of an organism, using DNA barcoding to authenticate the identity of species based on their DNA is an important way. The psbA-trnH intergenic spacer is a commonly used molecular approach to analyse the genetic characteristics of plant species. This study investigated the psbA-trnH intergenic spacer profile of wax apple cultivars from Demak regency. The investigation revealed that the psbA-trnH intergenic spacer sequences of the S. samarangense cultivars, namely Madu Thailand and Madu Deli Hijau, had lengths of 535 and 492 base pairs, respectively. Both cultivars demonstrate a greater nucleotide composition of deoxyadenylic acid (A) and deoxythymidylic acid (T) in comparison to deoxycytidilic acid (C) and deoxyguanylic (G). The genetic distance between S. samarangense ‘Madu Thailand’ and ‘Madu Deli Hijau’ indicates a very tight relationship, with a value of 0.000. The psbA-trnH intergenic spacer proved to be insufficient in differentiating the S. samarangense cultivars from Demak regency, mostly because to its low capacity to discern between the wax apple cultivars. Keywords: Demak, psbA-trnH intergenic spacer, Syzygium samarangense, wax apple
