Vegetation structure of associated flora in Amorphophallus gigas Teijsm. & Binn. (Araceae) habitats, North Padang Lawas Regency, North Sumatra

Amorphophallus gigas, a native aroid species found in the tropical forests of Sumatra, Indonesia, lacks robust population data despite previous spatial distribution studies. While not officially protected, A. gigas is considered rare in field documentation and faces potential habitat loss due to its proximity to the popular corpse flower. This 2023 study conducted in Halongonan District, North Padang Lawas Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia, aimed to gather information on the habitat characteristics and associated flora of A. gigas to guide land conservation initiatives. The research focused on a forested area within three villages: Bargot Topong Julu, Napa Lancat, and Pangirkiran, utilizing a purposive random sampling approach. Plots covering 1 ha each were selected based on Amorphophallus in the generative phase across various land covers. Ecological analysis and indices were derived from collected vegetation data. The survey unveiled varying numbers of generative and vegetative A. gigas individuals across the three study sites. The understorey community at each site exhibited different levels of association with A. gigas, with Selaginella willdenowii, Clidemia hirta, and Leersia virginica showing strong positive correlations. The floral community in A. gigas habitats displayed diverse species richness and diversity across different growth stages and locations. Findings suggest that altitude, slope, pH, light intensity, air temperature, and humidity may influence A. gigas abundance in distinct ways. This study offers valuable insights into the biological and ecological factors influencing the distribution and abundance of A. gigas populations, providing guidance for conservation and management efforts.

An Analysis of Meteorological Data in Sumatra and Nearby using Agglomerative Clustering

Sumatra is one of the biggest and the second most crowded islands in Indonesia. Sumatra is also a place of abundance of tropical flora and fauna. This paper aims to cluster the cities in Sumatra and nearby based on the meteorology data. It implements Agglomerative hierarchical clustering and uses a daily time series dataset from 17 cities from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2023. The dataset contains variables minimum temperature, maximum temperature, average temperature, humidity, sunshine duration, and average wind speed. The preprocessing data was dedicated to managing the missing values and data aggregation to create single-form data. The single-form data contains cities and meteorological variables used as an input for the clustering algorithm, i.e. K-Means, Fuzzy C-Means, K-Medoid, intelligent K-KMeans, and Agglomerative clustering. The Agglomerative clustering outperforms other methods (i.e. K-Means, Fuzzy C-Means, K-Medoid, and intelligent K-KMeans) and produces Silhouette scores of 0.11. The clusters are then analyzed to find their unique pattern. The cut-off when the number cluster is two, Agglomerative hierarchical clustering gathers Aceh, Sabang, Pekanbaru, Padang, and Padang Lawas in Cluster 1. Other cities, i.e., Nagan Raya, Batam, Jambi, Bandar Lampung, Medan, Pangkalpinang, Palembang, Bengkulu, Belitung, Tapanuli, Deli Serdang, and Nias are in Cluster 2. The results can be briefly explained that the characteristic of Cluster 1 has a higher average temperature, lower humidity, and lower sunshine duration than cities in Cluster 2. However, Cluster 1 has a lower average minimum temperature than Cluster 2. The pairs of cities which have the most similarities are (Aceh, Sabang), (Pekanbaru, Padang Lawas), (Nagan Raya, Nias), (Jambi, Palembang), (Bengkulu, Tapanuli), and (Medan, Deli Serdang). The annual trend in several cities shows that there exists an increasing trend in minimum temperature, rising sunshine duration, and decreasing wind speed. These are signs of climate change that need a proper handling.

Spatial Clusters of High Prevalences of Overweight and Obesity Among Children in Indonesia.

Objective Childhood obesity has emerged as a pressing health concern in both high-income and lower-middle-income countries, including Indonesia. The prevalence of overweight and obesity among school children aged 5-12 years has been increasing in Indonesia, with 20% of Indonesian children identified as obese or overweight in 2018. Therefore, addressing this problem will be challenging.

ANALYZING THE EFFECT OF SIMILARITY FUNCTIONS ON PARTITIONING AROUND MEDOIDS ALGORITHM FOR MAPPING DHF DISEASE IN NORTH SUMATRA

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is an acute febrile illness caused by a virus through the Aedes mosquito. North Sumatra is among the three provinces with the highest incidence and mortality rates in Indonesia. Mapping of DHF cases is very important in efforts to control and prevent the disease. The Partitioning Around Medoid (PAM) algorithm is commonly used to cluster DHF cases. The idea of PAM is a clustering algorithm with a similarity-based approach to grouping objects in one cluster. There are two main focuses in the research: mapping regencies/cities based on dengue case information and analyzing the performance of several similarity functions. The dataset includes variables of incidence rate (IR), case fatality rate (CFR), larva-free rate (ABJ), and population, obtained from the North Sumatra Provincial Health Office and the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The analysis showed that three clusters were formed in North Sumatra Province. The first cluster includes regencies/cities such as Langkat, Deli Serdang, Karo, Simalungun, Dairi, Samosir, Humbahas, North Labuhan Batu, North Padang Lawas, South Labuhan Batu, Padang Sidempuan, Nias, South Nias, North Nias, and Sibolga. The second cluster consists of regencies/cities such as Medan, Binjai, Sedang Berdagai, Tebing Tinggi, Batubara, Asahan, Tanjung Balai, Labuhan Batu, Toba, North Tapanuli, Central Tapanuli, Gunungsitoli, and West Nias. The third cluster includes the regencies of South Tapanuli and Mandailing Natal. In addition, an evaluation was conducted using the Silhouette Index to measure the quality of the clustering. Based on the comparison using distance methods (Euclidean distance, Manhattan distance, Minkowski distance, and Chebyshev distance), the highest Silhouette Index value was obtained using Chebyshev distance, which amounted to 0.527554. This value indicates reasonable cluster quality. Thus, this study contributes to the mapping of DHF cases in North Sumatra Province and can be the basis for decision-making in overcoming the disease.
