Sustainable development goals in Sumatera Island: Poverty, Economic growth, and Environment

This article discusses the three pillars of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): poverty, economic growth, and the environmental quality index (EQI). Utilizing secondary data from the Ministry of Environment and the Central Statistics Agency covering the 2018-2022 period across 10 provinces in Sumatra, the research employs panel data regression and Cartesian analysis techniques. Poverty and economic growth exert partial and simultaneous influences on the environmental quality index. A decrease in poverty correlates with improved environmental quality, likely due to heightened environmental awareness alongside increased prosperity. Conversely, rising economic growth leads to environmental quality deterioration, attributed in part to heightened industrial and transportation activities. Cartesian analysis indicates the Riau Islands Province holds potential as the top-performing region in SDG achievement on Sumatra Island.

Method for Calculating the Coral Health Index (Case Study: Mapur Island, Bintan, Indonesia)

This study evaluates the health and condition of coral reefs in the Mapur Island - Bintan Conservation Area, located in the Riau Islands Province, Indonesia. The research was conducted at 5 site locations using the Underwater Photo Transect (UPT) method, with a focus on hard coral cover and the Coral Health Index (CHI). Coral lifeform data were analyzed using Coral Point Count with Excel extensions (CPCe) software. The results revealed significant variability in coral cover, ranging from 14.47% to 59.27%, with an average of 39.36%, placing the coral reefs in the “Moderate” category. However, despite high hard coral cover at some sites, coral health varied, with certain locations exhibiting significant disease prevalence. Among the 5 sites surveyed for CHI, four were classified as “healthy,” while one were categorized “diseased.” Statistical analyses, including Welch’s t-test and Bayesian inference, indicated no significant difference between the CHI and hard coral cover, suggesting that high coral cover does not necessarily imply a healthier reef. Diseases such as Pink- Blotch Syndrome, Black Band Disease, and White Syndrome were prevalent across several sites, highlighting the influence of environmental stressors on coral health. The study underscores the importance of regular coral health monitoring and the need for conservation efforts to mitigate the impact of coral diseases and climate change. These findings provide crucial insights into the status of coral reefs in the Mapur Island - Bintan Conservation Area and contribute to broader efforts to preserve marine biodiversity.

Tin Smelting using Carbonized Palm Kernel Shell as Reductant

PT Timah Tbk has a vision to become a leading environmentally friendly mining company. To achieve this, efforts are being made to use biomass, specifically palm kernel shells, as a reductant in the smelting process, aiming to reduce carbon emissions associated with smelting. Palm kernel shells are selected due to their abundant availability in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province, the operational area of PT Timah Tbk. Before being utilized in the smelting process, palm kernel shells undergo carbonization at a temperature of 400°C for 15 minutes to increase the content of fixed carbon, which plays a crucial role in tin reduction. Carbonized palm kernel shells consist of 51.4% fixed carbon, 27% volatile matter, 14.54% ash, and 7.06% inherent moisture. The smelting process using carbonized palm kernel shells takes place in a Reverberatory Furnace and serves as the initial stage of the tin smelting process. In this stage, tin concentrate is smelted to produce crude tin and slag 1, with a slag 1 assay typically ranging from 15% to 20%. After three cycles of smelting, the average formation of crude tin is 83.31%, the Sn slag assay is 18.70%, and the smelting capacity reaches 50 tons per day. These results align with the standards set for stage 1 of tin smelting at PT Timah Tbk, which traditionally uses coal as a reductant. Therefore, smelting tin with carbonized palm kernel shell as a reductant is a viable and feasible option.

Utilization of Moringa Leaf Extract (Moringa Oleifera) against the Ectoparasite Zeylanicobdella sp. on Grouper Fish In In-Vitro

Grouper is a mainstay commodity for mariculture in Indonesia. One of the obstacles in cultivating grouper fish in floating net cages is the infection of the hirudinea sea leech Zeylanicobdella sp. Leech infection causes fish growth to be stunted and they may not even be sold. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of adding moringa leaf extract (Moringa oleifera) and its effective dose which can kill sea leeches. This research was carried out in November – December 2023 for 30 days located at the Pengujan Fish Seed Center (BBI), Bintan Regency, Riau Islands Province. This research includes making extracts using 96% ethanol solvent, qualitatively testing the active content of simplicia, probit analysis of extracts on Artemia salina test animals and testing extracts on the leech Zeylanicobdella sp. The graded extract doses used for the LC-50 test on Artemia salina are 20 ppm, 40 ppm and 60 ppm. Meanwhile, the dose for testing on the leech Zeylanicobdella sp. namely 10 ppm, 20 ppm and 30 ppm. Determination of dosage for leeches is based on the LC50-24 value. The research results showed that the percentage of water content was 81,73% and the total yield was 9.25%. The results of the phytochemical test showed that 96% ethanol was successful in attracting bioactive compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins and tannins. The LC50-24 hour value shows that the dose of Moringa leaf extract that can cause 50% death of test animals is 30,549 ppm and the best dose that can kill Zeylanicobdella sp. leeches namely a concentration of 30,549 ppm.
