Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) as a Solution for Shrimp Aquaculture Side Effects on Northern Coast of Java, Indonesia

Along the northern coast of Java, Indonesia, shrimp aquaculture has been one of the main sources of income for coastal communities. Considering its benefits, not only does these aquaculture activity invite stakeholders to establish large-scale aquacultures, but it also triggers local people to set up family-scale aquaculture on their house yards. This practice, however, gradually aggravates the environmental and ecological aspects of the coast as there is no significant environmental impact assessment either by the players or by the municipality. Meanwhile, Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) has been suggested to be able to overcome environmental and ecological side effects of aquaculture activities. In addition, IMTA can be beneficial for local people as the use of lower trophic organisms, such as mussels and seaweed in this method can be a source of livelihood. Pursuant to these facts, the implementation of IMTA is crucial for the environment, ecology and economic states of aquaculture in the northern coast of Java.

One Thousand and One Coconuts: Growing Memories in Southern New Guinea

From cathedrals to dreaming sites, every culture needs its monuments. But the landscape and built culture of southern New Guinea conspire to erase physical memory. In the ever-changing environment of mud, plants, and water, there are no rock formations to serve as durable traces of the past. Wooden houses decay within a decade or two. Garden clearings grow back after a few years. The savannah edge, if not maintained by regular bushfires, is soon recolonized by forest. Against this mutable environment, stability of external memory is given by the coconut trees planted anywhere a plant can grow: beaches, swiddens, old villages, house yards. Almost every coconut palm serves as a tab (sign)—a reminder of stories of garden clearings, resettlements, disputes, pledges, or intentions. For most, there are individuals with the special knowledge needed to tell their stories. These trees form an arboreal history anchored in their durability and in the clear symbolic and practical intentions that accompany each planting. In this paper, I illustrate the trees' mnemonic value, drawing on hundreds of interviews conducted by local interviewers in their own languages—Nen, Nmbo, and Idi. Responding to the flexible interactions between each interviewer and interviewee, they cover many topics, from memories of old gardens, abandoned houses, or temporary periods in other villages, through reconciliations, to girl-abducting teenagers and midlife contraceptives. In presenting this corpus of material, I marry linguistic and anthropological analyses to show how a network of communities, linked by marriage and exchange across language boundaries, uses these living monuments to maintain its histories across a broad range of spokespeople.

Risk and protective factors associated with gastrointestinal parasites of dogs from an urban area of Córdoba, Argentina

Groundwater Conservation with Hole Infiltration of Biopore Cube

Analysis of groundwater conservation with cube biopore infiltration holes using the value of soil permeability, the amount of rainfall, and the depth of the groundwater level. The groundwater conservation research method is carried out by making the cavity biopore infiltration holes to absorb the volume of rainwater and domestic waste water into the soil. Conservation is suitable for homes that have enough yard. The main reason is to use cube infiltration holes to accommodate large and small organic waste. Organic waste is trees, grass and domestic waste. For a small house yard, conservation of ground water enough with a cylindrical hole diameter of 10 cm. Benefits of biopore infiltration holes are reducing surface runoff, producing manure, fertilizing soil, reducing waste piles, and conserving ground water. The research objective was to analyze the cube biopore infiltration holes based on soil permeability, rainfall intensity, depth of groundwater level, and volume of organic waste. The results of the analysis can be obtained from the cube biopore infiltration holes which can absorb all the rainwater which can accommodate all organic waste. The results of permeability testing show that the average soil permeability is 0.00112 cm/s and the yield of maximum discharge runoff water in January is 97.57 cm3/second. The ground water level is two meters. While the volume of organic waste is one cubic per month. The result of the analysis showed that the area of cake absorption was 8.73 m2. When converted to a cube absorption field it takes approximately 8 meters wide by 0.5 meters and a depth of 0.5 meters. When divided into four cavity recharge holes LRB1 obtained area of 4 m2, LRB2 area of 2.7 m2, LRB3 area 2 m2, and LRB4 as reserve.

Enchasing anthropogenic element trackers for evidence of long-term atmospheric depositions in mine environs

In this work attic dust was examined as historical archive of anthropogenic emissions, with the aim of elucidating the pathways of enrichments associated with exploitation of Cu, Pb, and Zn minerals in the Bregalnica river basin region. Attic dust samples were collected from 84 settlements. At each location for attic dust sampling, topsoil samples from the house yards were also collected. Mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS) was applied as analytical technique for determination of Ag, Bi, Cd, Cu, In, Mn, Pb, Sb, Te, W, and Zn. The Universal Kriging method with linear variogram interpolation was applied for the construction of spatial distribution maps. Thеsе elements are normally associated with air pollution (Cd-Pb-Zn), and usually are not influenced by lithological background. This investigation fortifies an extended anthropogenic association (Ag, Bi, In, and Mn) that implement some other anthropogenic activities such as agricultural activities (use of urban sludge, manure and fertilizers) or their occurrence can be a secondary affection from mine poly-metallic pollution. Spatial patterns showed intensive deposition in the areas of Pb-Zn mining activities (“Sasa” and “Zletovo” mines) and copper mine “Bučim”. Long-distance distributions of higher contents of these elements from the mines were not detected.

First record and spreading of the invasive mosquito Aedes japonicus japonicus (Theobald, 1901) in Croatia.

Aedes (Hulecoeteomyia) japonicus japonicus (Theobald, 1901) has recently established across North America and Central Europe. A 3-year survey was conducted in northwestern Croatian regions from 2013 to 2015 using mosquito ovitraps at possible points of entry and house yards, occasionally complemented by larval collections from cemetery vases. In the first year, the survey investigated the county bordering Slovenia, where the first detection of Ae. j. japonicus had taken place on 28 August 2013. During the next 2 years, Ae. j. japonicus was detected in this area from early May until late October. In 2015, several counties further to the east were included in the survey, leading to the detection of Ae. j. japonicus approximately 100 km eastward from the initially surveyed region. Given a moderate continental climate and homogeneous climatic conditions in this part of Europe, the eastward spread of Ae. j. japonicus can be expected to continue.
