Proportion of Pneumoconiosis in Limestone Mining Workers In Citatah Village, West Bandung District

Background: Silica, asbestos and coal dust are associated with pneumoconiosis in mining workers. The International Labor Organization (ILO) reports that 30-50% of workers in developing countries are diagnosed with pneumoconiosis. This study aims to identify pneumoconiosis in limestone mining workers in Indonesia.
 Method: This cross-sectional study involved 73 subjects of limestone mining workers in Citatah Village, West Bandung Regency, Indonesia. Two conclusions were similar from three AIR-Pneumo certified photo readers by blind reading and using the ILO guidelines.
 Result: Pneumoconiosis was found in 11/73 (15.1%). The median age of the pneumoconiosis group was older than the non-pneumoconiosis group (51 [33-63] vs. 37.5 [18-85] age in years, p = 0.013). All subjects in the pneukoniosis group worked> 6 years (p = 0.001). The highest dust concentration was in the pneumoconiosis group compared to the non-pneumoconisosis group (61.41 ± 103.98 vs. 14.92 ± 55.17 mg / m3, p = 0.030). This study showed that the length of work and the level of dust in the mine were risk factors for pneumoconiosis, although not significant (OR = 14.6, p = 0.999 and OR = 7,171, p = 0.998).
 Conclusion: The proportion of pneumoconiosis in lime mining workers in this study was 15.1%. Length of work and dust levels in the mine are risk factors for pneumoconiosis; but not meaningful in this study.

Soil destruction level at vegetables cultivation land in upstream Cikapundung Sub Watershed, Indonesia and the alternative sustainable management

The area for cultivating vegetables in the upstream of Cikapundung Sub-Watershed is categorized steeps dryland, which very susceptible on soil erosion. The research objectives were (1) to evaluate the amount of erosion in existing land use, (2) to determine the level of soil damage by erosion and its effect on land productivity, and (3) to formulate alternative management at vegetables cultivation land upstream of the Cikapundung Sub-Watershed to be sustainable. The research was conducted using a survey method in Lembang Subdistrict, West Bandung District, West Java Province, Indonesia. Primary data collection was carried out through interviews, observation, and soil sampling. Data analysis was based on descriptive and literature study.

The amount of erosion that occurred was 141.3 t ha−1 year−1, exceeding limit Tolerable Soil Loss (TSL). The level of soil destruction is quite heavy. There was a decrease in C-organic and soil nutrient content that caused the productivity of cultivated vegetables land had decreased by 26.6%. Management of vegetable cultivation land using soil conservation techniques should be applied appropriately, effectively, and efficiently according to the local agroecosystem conditions.

Correlation between landscape structure and distribution of Javan Pangolin (Manis javanica) in an extreme landscape

Abstract. Withaningsih S, Parikesit, Nasrudin A. 2021. Correlation between landscape structure and distribution of Javan Pangolin (Manis javanica) in an extreme landscape. Biodiversitas 22: 920-932. The Javan Pangolin (Manis javanica) is a unique mammal with hard scales and can roll over when threatened. However, the study of Javan pangolin ecology, particularly using an ecological landscape approach, is limited. Here, a spatial analysis of the presence and distribution of Javan pangolins living in an extreme landscape in Rongga Sub-district, West Bandung District was conducted and was correlated to the landscape structure using a landscape metric approach. A descriptive method was used in conjunction with quantitative statistical analyses using simple linear regressions based on the Pearson correlation coefficient. The variables were features of the extreme landscape structure and the number of Javan pangolin animal signs at the sampling sites. The seven sample sites had variations in land cover classes, and the landscape structure affected the distribution of the Javan pangolins. The pangolin distribution showed a strong, negative correlation with the number of patch types (R2 = 0.628) and a weak, negative correlation with both the landscape heterogeneity (R2 = 0.012) and the percentage of forest cover (R2 = 0.136). Together, the landscape heterogeneity, the number of patch types and the percentage of forest cover negatively affected the distribution of Javan pangolins, showing a strong correlation (R2 = 0.799).
