Status of ramin (Gonystylus spp.) in eastern Kalimantan, Indonesia

ABSTRACT Peat swamp forests in Indonesia have been heavily logged in recent years, with Gonystylus bancanus, locally known as the ramin tree, being one of the main species of timber harvested. The potential for other Gonystylus species as timber trees is not known, as we have a poorer understanding of their distribution and regeneration patterns. In this study, the team explored the Gonystylus species diversity and distribution at five locations in East and North Kalimantan (Indonesia) in 2009. In total, we found six Gonystylus species – G. affinis, G. brunnescens, G. consanguineus, G. forbesii, G. keithii and G velutinus – in primary forest with flat to hilly topography up to 500 m a.s.l. on typical ultisol soils. Gonystylus brunnescens was the most abundant species and had the best natural regeneration, whilst the populations of the other five species were much smaller, with fewer than five individuals at each location, and their regeneration was poor. We present information on the autecology of these Gonystylus species and recommend further studies on their physiology and ecology, with the support of governments and concessionaires, in order to conserve ramin populations.

Exploring environmental condition of silvofishery pond to support the sustainability of mangrove management in Berau Regency, Indonesia

The integration of mangrove management with aquaculture, termed the silvofishery pond system, has been implemented in Berau Regency, East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. A detailed survey was conducted to assess the features of mangrove terrain surrounding silvofishery ponds, aiming to enhance the productive and sustainable management of these mangrove areas in Berau Regency. This survey focused on various land characteristics such as topography, tidal patterns, water quality, soil properties, climate, and the state of mangrove vegetation. The health of mangrove vegetation was assessed by calculating the Important Value Index (IVI) across different growth stages: trees, saplings, and seedlings. The findings reveal that the mangrove adjacent to the silvofishery ponds in Berau Regency are home to 14 species from 13 genera and 10 families. Rhizophora mucronata displayed the highest IVI scores across all growth stages: 75.17% for trees, 93.14% for saplings, and 66.98% for seedlings, the latter shared with Rhizophora apiculata. Soil quality emerged as a critical limiting factor for land use in silvofishery ponds, particularly due to high potential acidity (low pH) and low nitrogen (N) content. To enhance soil quality, it is recommended that soil management practices such as remediation (via drying, submerging, flushing, or liming) and N supplementation through fertilization be employed. Furthermore, given the sparse mangrove vegetation density at the tree level (1,012 trees/ha), efforts to promote natural mangrove regeneration and prevent deforestation and degradation are advised. Considering the unique characteristics of the mangroves, the implementation of the komplangan model—a silvofishery approach that segregates mangroves restoration pond from grow-out ponds—is recommended to boost productivity and ensure sustainability in the coastal region of Berau.

Malaria Prevention Strategies in Kalimantan, Indonesia: A Secondary Analysis of 2018 Basic Health Research Data

Background: Kalimantan remains malaria-endemic, particularly in rural areas, where prevention efforts face challenges such as insecticide resistance and limited healthcare access. Despite available measures like insecticide-treated nets, gaps in understanding individual and household prevention practices persist, especially in relation to demographics and effectiveness in reducing malaria transmission.Purpose: This study aimed to examine the individual and household-level malaria prevention strategies utilized in rural Kalimantan and evaluate their effectiveness in reducing malaria incidence.Methods: The study is a secondary analysis of the 2018 Basic Health Research. A total of 67,155 respondents in Kalimantan were analyzed including respondent characteristics, memories of malaria infection, and individual and household malaria prevention efforts. Bivariate regression and multivariable logistic regression were used in data analysis.Results: Older participants were less likely to report having malaria, although self-reported malaria rates were higher among older respondents compared to younger ones. Women reported lower malaria rates than men, especially in South Kalimantan. Agricultural workers showed a higher likelihood of reporting malaria than the jobless, though not statistically significant. In West Kalimantan, the use of bed nets was associated with higher self-reported malaria rates (OR=1.838, 95% CI:1.147–2.943). Short-term use of Insecticide Treated Nets showed varying odds across provinces: Central Kalimantan (OR = 3.659, 95% CI 1.378–9.717), South Kalimantan (OR = 10.811, 95% CI 3.649–32.030), East Kalimantan (OR = 2.615, 95% CI 1.041–6.567), and West Kalimantan (OR = 2.428, 95% CI 1.446–4.078). In all provinces, preventive measures such as coils or electric mats reduced self-reported malaria cases. The use of mosquito screens was effective in South Kalimantan (OR = 0.208, 95% CI 0.027–1.598), Central Kalimantan (OR = 0.365, 95% CI 0.120–2.181), and North Kalimantan (OR = 0.000, 95% CI 0.000–0.000). The multivariate model highlighted mosquito nets as the most effective household-scale prevention in nearly all Kalimantan provinces, except North Kalimantan.Conclusion: This study shows that individuals aged 25 and over, women, non-farmers, and those using insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and other preventive measures, especially in rural areas, were less likely to report malaria, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions from local health authorities

Hydrocarbon potential and depositional environment of the Middle Miocene Balikpapan Formation, lower Kutai Basin, Indonesia: Sedimentology, calcareous nannofossil, organic geochemistry, and organic petrography integrated approach

The Middle Miocene Balikpapan Formation is exposed in the Samarinda Anticlinorium, which forms part of the Lower Kutai Basin situated on East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The Balikpapan Formation is considered the main source rock for oil and gas fields in Lower Kutai Basin. This study integrates sedimentology, organic geochemistry, organic petrography and calcareous nannofossil analysis to characterize the depositional environment, to determine the source of the organic matter, and to assess the hydrocarbon potential of the Balikpapan Formation. The studied sections contain at one locality calcareous nannofossil assemblages with low diversity including Sphenolithus heteromorphus, suggesting nannofossil zones NN4 – NN5 (upper Burdigalian - Langhian-lower Serravallian) are restricted to the Air Putih section in the northeastern part of the study area. Six facies associations were identified in the study area, comprising eleven lithofacies, interpreted as fluvial-deltaic to shallow marine in origin. The fine-grained lithofacies include shale, coaly shale and coal while the coarse-grained facies include sandstone and sandy conglomerates. The geochemical results (TOC) indicate that the analyzed samples have strongly varying total organic carbon (TOC) contents. The organic matter is composed of type III (gas-prone) and type II-III (mixed oil and gas prone) kerogen, with HI values ranging from 32 to 252 mg HC/g TOC. The Rock-Eval parameter Tmax 409–441 °C and vitrinite reflectance values (0.40–0.67 %Rr) indicate that the sediments are immature to marginal mature. The rank of coal in the Balikpapan Formation ranges from the sub-bituminous to the high-volatile bituminous B stage.

The Influence of Population and Economic Growth on Capital Expenditures through Original Regional Income of East Kalimantan Province 2018-2022

Understanding the degree of regional autonomy in funding development and government operations by raising the possibility of regional revenue is a crucial component of putting regional autonomy authority into practice. The degree of regional financial independence indicates how well the regional government has been able to boost local financial capability and lessen reliance on financial aid from the federal government. In order to determine the direct and indirect impacts between variables, this study used the route analysis data analysis method (route Analysis) with SPSS (Statistical Product and Service Solutions) software version 29. Path analysis is chosen in this study because it enables testing of the theoretical applicability of the methodology employed, which is the causal relationship approach. Path analysis is a useful tool for analyzing more complex models than multiple linear regression can handle. The government is projected to be able to implement strategic policy initiatives in an effort to raise Regional Original Income, which serves as a source of funding for capital expenditures.
