Miocene (Burdigalian) coastal lowland vegetation and palaeoclimate based on a palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of the Els Cardscolers site, Majorca, Spain

The early Miocene (Burdigalian) macroflora of the Els Cardscolers site (Majorca Island, Balearic Islands province, Spain) is studied here from a palaeoecological and taxonomical perspective. The study shows the presence of a palaeotropical flora with thermophilic and hygrophilic elements characteristic of a coastal wetland environment, formed by monocotyledons, Lygodium gaudinii, palms (Sabalites sp.), a predominance of shrubs with Myrica lignitum and the presence of accessory elements such as Berberis kymeana, Engelhardia orsbergensis, Ziziphus paradisiaca, Sapotacites minor and Myrica longifolia. Arboreal taxa like Lauraceae or Fagaceae and some Fabaceae species were also present. The temperature values obtained by CLAMP analysis are as follows: MAT: 17.6–19.9 °C, WMMT: 24.3–27.07 °C, and CMMT: 10.4–14.2 °C. These findings suggest a warm climate with little temperature seasonality. Precipitation values (e.g., GSP, MMGSP, Three_WET, and Three_DRY) suggest the absence of a summer-dry regime although a clear contrast in precipitation is inferred. The inferred climate is similar to that of other coeval regions of Southern Europe, although it stands out for its high values of CMMT. It is similar to the climate of the island of Evia in Greece. From a floristic point of view, the Els Cardscolers flora is similar to the Burdigalian site of Cristo Rei (Portugal), and a clear relationship with the floral complex of Ipolytarnóc-Luzern (Hungary) also can be inferred.

Implementasi Kebijakan Pembangunan Infrastruktur Jalan Lingkar Pesisir Tanjungpinang

In terms of public welfare, the Republic of Indonesia makes many policies, especially on road infrastructure development policies. One of the policies is the coastal ring road infrastructure development policy contained in the Strategic Plan (RENSTRA) of the Office of Public Works, Spatial Planning and Land Affairs, which aims to improve the implementation of effective, clean and reliable infrastructure development and is supported by qualified human resources. high performance. Not only that, infrastructure development is a strategy from the government to serve as a foundation in building new economic areas that are able to have a positive impact on the surrounding community. In 2018 the Provincial Government of the Riau Islands together with the Provincial DPRD officially claimed a budget of 428 billion in the construction of the Gurindam 12 mega project for structuring coastal areas which sourced funds from the Riau Islands Province APBD. Coastal communities really need functioning infrastructure, especially roads, to carry out their economic activities. The seaside is one of the coastal areas that has a lot of economic activity which really needs adequate infrastructure. Because of the several things above, researchers are interested in researching problems related to this. The purpose of this research is to see how policy implementation measures the success or failure of a policy is largely determined by the implementation of the policy; plan success 20%, implementation is 60% remaining 20% how do we control the implementation using qualitative research methods. The construction of ring road infrastructure in the city of Tanjungpinang which was built by the government has positive and negative impacts. The positive impact of this development can limit the flow of waves and wind when a storm occurs, while the negative impact is reduced catch (shrimp) which previously could be 4 kg per day/night now only 2 kg per day/night.

Upaya Pemerintah Kota Tanjungpinang Dalam Percepatan Penurunan Angka Kasus Stunting Berdasarkan Indeks Khusus Penanganan Stunting Provinsi Kepulauan Riau

Stunting is a serious chronic nutrition problem in Indonesia, including in the Riau Islands Province. Stunting occurs when a child's growth is stunted and their height is shorter than the standard for their age. This problem can negatively impact a child's physical, cognitive, and social development, and potentially affect productivity and learning abilities in the future. The Riau Islands have unique geographical characteristics with many small islands scattered around the region. This can cause limited access to adequate health and nutrition services, especially on remote islands. In addition, economic factors, low education, and poor sanitation can also be causes of stunting in this area. To improve the quality of life of children in the region, stunting prevention must be a main focus. In the stunting prevention journal, it is important to identify risk factors that contribute to stunting in the Riau Islands, such as unbalanced eating patterns, low access to health and nutrition services, and low public knowledge about the importance of good nutrition.

Evaluasi Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRL) Pada Pemeriksaan Thorax PA di Pulau Jawa Berdasarkan Database DRL BAPETEN

The International Commission of Radiation Protection (ICRP) defines the diagnostic Reference Level (DRL) as a tool for optimizing patient radiation dose during radiological examinations. However, its implementation has obstacles, such as the unavailability and completeness of inspection data. Because DRL plays a role in controlling the patient's dose so that it is optimal, regular DRL evaluation is needed, especially on the island of Java. This research is a retrospective study of the results of PA chest radiography examinations in the database BAPETEN DRL between 2018-2022. PA chest radiography examination data used are examination procedure, patient position, age, body weight, exposure factors (kVp and mAs), and ESAK dose (mGy). After that, statistical analysis was carried out using IBM SPSS version 26 and Microsoft Excel with descriptive statistical analysis of the mean, median, standard deviation, 1st quartile, 2nd quartile, 3rd quartile, and minimum to maximum ratio values for the ESAK dose. Next, the 3rd quartile values of the Java island province were analyzed and compared with several Asian countries and Australia. The results of the research on the 3rd quartile radiation dose values on the island of Java with the highest to the lowest were West Java (0,31 mGy, n=1273), Yogyakarta (0,5 mGy, n=33), East Java (0,24 mGy, n=1206), Central of Java (0,22 mGy, n=725), Banten (0,20 mGy, n=2349), Jakarta (0,17 mGy, n=1870). The DRL on the island of Java is still controlled and lower than the National DRL and DRL in Asian countries and Australia. Keywords: Java Island, Diagnostic Reference Level, Thorax PA, 3rd quartile.

Markov chain analysis to predict natural disasters in the Province of Bangka Belitung Islands as part of preventative measures to prevent environmental damage

Bangka Belitung Islands Province is a province which is famous for its beauty and natural wealth. In addition to its natural beauty and wealth, this province has disaster-prone areas. Based on the results of the 2021 Indonesian Disaster Risk Index (IRBI) measurement, the Bangka Belitung Islands Province has the second highest risk class in Indonesia with a value of 160.98. Therefore, a study is needed that aims to determine the prediction of natural disasters in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province as a preventive measure to prevent environmental damage. The analytical method used in this research is the Markov Chain method. The data used in this study is secondary data obtained from the official website of the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) from 2017 to 2022 with several types of disasters, including floods, landslides, tornadoes, forest and land fires, and natural disasters others (missing persons, house fires, drowning persons, etc.). Based on the results of calculations using the Markov Chain concept, it can be concluded that the possibility of flooding in 2023 is 31.46%, landslides are 7.73%, tornadoes are 43.81%, forest and land fires are 14.32%, and other disasters of 2.69% with a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.356 and a Mean Square Error (MSE) of 0.17.

Effect of Product Quality Perceptions on Satisfaction and Re-consumption Intention of Aruk Rice with The Addition of an Eco-Friendly Starter

Aruk rice is a typical food from the Bangka-Belitung Islands Province. Aruk rice is made from fermented cassava to extract and process the flour into granules. Much research has been done on aruk rice made traditionally. One of the main problems in making Aruk rice is that it takes a long time, which is 7–10 days. This affects the production rate of Aruk rice. Adding a starter can overcome the relatively long process of making Aruk rice. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of perceived product quality on satisfaction and the intention to re-consume Aruk rice with the addition of a starter. The research method uses a survey method. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling with a total of 100 respondents. Respondents in this study were people who had consumed traditional Aruk rice. Research data were analyzed by SEM-PLS using SmartPLS Software version 4.0. The results showed that directly, perception of product quality had a positive and significant effect on people’s satisfaction when consuming Aruk rice with the addition of an environmentally friendly starter. However, the perception of product quality has a negative and significant effect on the intention to re-consume Aruk rice with the addition of an environmentally friendly starter. People prefer to consume Aruk rice traditionally because they are used to it. Nonetheless, it was observed that satisfaction positively and significantly influenced the intention to re-consume Aruk rice when the environmentally friendly starter was used. Moreover, the perception of product quality indirectly influenced the re-consumption intentions of Aruk ricebby adding the starter. These finding offer an opportunity for Aruk rice makers to enhance the product’s quality to meet consumer desires, potentially increasing consumer intentions to re-consume Aruk rice.

Potential development of tropical fruits on Kundur Island, Riau Islands Province, Indonesia

Kundur Island has incredible potential for tropical fruits in Riau Islands Province. Land utilization for tropical fruit planting must be supported by land resource data, such as maps of characteristics and land suitability, to optimize tropical fruit production. This study aimed to evaluate the land suitability and determine the dominant limiting factors for tropical fruit growth and development. Land suitability was evaluated by matching the land characteristics, soil, and climatic requirements for durian, rambutan, and duku. The land suitability classes for durian, rambutan, and duku on Kundur Island are mostly marginal (S3), covering an area of 28,361 ha (90.51%), while the rest are moderately suitable (S2) and unsuitable (N). The limiting factors are drainage, root conditions influenced by peat thickness, nutrient retention, nutrient availability, depth of sulfide material, and erosion hazards. Improvements can be made by managing drainage, using cover crops, fertilization, and providing soil ameliorants. Treatments to increase land suitability must be implemented to enhance the potential of durian, rambutan, and duku plantations to be suitable (S1) or moderately suitable (S2). Land potential development for durian, rambutan, and duku is conducted by prioritizing environmental aspects and land sustainability.

Determination of Health Index Classification and Management Sustainable Mangrove Ecosystems Using a Combination of Fuzzy and ISM Methods

The area of mangrove forests in Indonesia in 2021, according to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, is around 3,364,080 Ha; this amount is equivalent to 23% of the world’s mangrove ecosystem, which is from a total of 16,530,000 Ha (FAO, 2005). Information on the condition of mangrove ecosystems is important to know whether or not an area is good. Studies related to the condition of mangrove ecosystems based on environmental quality and mangrove health index to determine the environmental quality and mangrove health are needed for ecosystem management in the future. This article describes the health parameters of mangrove ecosystems that will be analyzed with the help of a combination of decision support software such as fuzzy and ISM so that priority mangrove ecosystem locations can be determined, mangrove health index values to determine the health status of mangrove ecosystems and determine alternative sustainable mangrove ecosystem management policies that will be applied to the object of study. In addition, the study also discusses the concept of determining standard criteria for the level of damage to mangrove ecosystems and determining the status of mangrove ecosystems. Based on fuzzy logic, data analysis shows that the output of the Mangrove Health Index can be determined with 3 variables and 27 rules, with key factors in Mangrove Density, Canopy Cover and Number of saplings. The results of ISM show that management institutions that must be actively involved in supporting the success of sustainable mangrove forest ecosystem management in Batam City are KLHK, DLHK Riau Islands Province, and BPDAS Sei Jang Duriangkang. Proper handling of constraints and management institutions that are actively involved in mangrove forest ecosystem management will ultimately encourage budget effectiveness and efficiency to meet the main goal, namely sustainable mangrove forest ecosystem management in Batam City.

Utilization of River Sand as a Substitution and Addition of Cement to Increase The Shear Strength of Clay Soil

Clay soil is categorized as a poor subgrade material because it has a low soil bearing capacity. One of the parameters in terms of soil bearing capacity is the value of soil shear strength. To improve it, natural resources can be used by utilizing river sand as a substitute for clay and adding cement as a binder for clay granules with river sand. Mixture variations used for river sand are 10%, 15% and 20% as a substitute for clay and cement of 5% of the dry weight of clay and sand. The soil tested came from clay in the Parit Tujuh area, Pemali District and river sand taken by small rivers from the Air Bakung River, Lubuk Kelik River, and Penyamun River in Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands Province, Indonesia. The test carried out is direct shear testing. The test standard uses the Indonesian National Standard (SNI). From the results of the study it was found that the shear strength of the soil increased with the increase in the percentage of river sand and 5% cement compared to unmixed clay, namely 113.302 kN/m2 at 20% variation of Sungai Penyamun Sand plus 5% cement.

Investigation of subgrade conditions on the Airbara – Toboali road section to improve road quality

The Airbara - Toboali Road Section is a national road located in South Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands Province. Some segments of this road often experience road damage, although road repairs have been carried out several times to overcome the damage. The subgrade layer is the most important layer in the pavement structure because it functions to withstand all the loads above it. CBR (California Bearing Ratio) is penetration test used to evaluate the subgrade strength of roads and pavement. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the subgrade conditions on the Air Bara – Toboali road section in order to improve road quality. This study uses hand boring testing with 4 sampling points and field CBR testing with the DCP tool. Field CBR samples were taken as many as 30 points every 50 meters from STA 0+000 – STA 1+450. The average CBR value obtained shows that the CBR of this subgrade is in the good category (10.77%). Subgrade conditions per layer, namely at a depth of 0-2 meters the roads have almost the same soil characteristics. However, the soil depth of more than 2 meters in several locations on the road segment has a different character. The results of this investigation are expected to assist road planning so that road quality can improve.
