Religious beliefs and spiritual connections to biodiversity have the potential to reduce animosity towards wildlife that might otherwise present a real or perceived threat to local people. Understanding this social dynamic can therefore be important for formulating locally-appropriate species-specific conservation strategies. Using semi-structured interviews which incorporated human-tiger conflict scenarios, we investigated how beliefs towards tigers varied between ethnic groups living around a large protected area that is home to the largest tiger population in Sumatra. We gathered this information to determine the degree to which cultural tolerance may contribute to the survival of the tiger in the Kerinci Seblat landscape, Indonesia. From 154 interviewees, 133 respondents came from three main ethnic groups, Minangkabau, Kerincinese and Melayu. The majority (73.5%) of Minangkabau interviewees cited that their ethnic group had customary laws regarding tigers, as did 52% of Melayu and 44% of Kerincinese. Irrespective of ethnicity, most participants did not perceive there to be a connection between Islam and tigers. All participants acknowledged the existence of zoological tigers and two groups (Minangkabau and Kerincinese) held a strong common belief that different types of spirit tigers also existed. From presenting different human-tiger conflict scenarios, with varying levels of severity towards livestock or human life, an unprovoked tiger attack in the village elicited the most calls for the tiger to be killed. Yet, if a village or family member was killed by a tiger whilst hunting in the forest then most respondents across all ethnic groups said to do nothing. The frequency of this response increased if a tiger killed someone in the village who had committed adultery, reflecting beliefs associated with the role of the tiger as an enforcer of moral rule. Our study highlights the importance of consulting with local communities who live in close proximity to large and potentially dangerous carnivores when developing conflict mitigation strategies, which hitherto has not been the case in Sumatra.

Since hydrologic drought is a slowly developing phenomenon, it may be possible to forecast low flow conditions, especially in areas with long dry seasons. This study proposes hydrological drought forecasting methods based on two stream flow recession analyses. The first one is based on a recursive digital filters for baseflow separation and recession characterization for the baseflow forecasting. The second one is based on the theory of "simple dynamical systems of catchments". The applications of the two methods were demonstrated in Lombok Island in Indonesia and showed that the latter method, which reflects more flexible recession characteristics showed better accuracy in the estimations of the low flows. Nevertheless, both of the presented applications showed underestimations in low flow forecastings compared to the observed ones. The underestimations were mainly associated with the ignorance of the rainfall, especially for long lead time cases.

Penyakit tidak menular merupakan salah satu ancaman kesehatan pada semua  kelompok umur di masyarakat. Mobilitas dan aktifitas yang tinggi membuat masyarakat tidak memperhatikan kesehatan serta tidak menerapkan germas seperti melakukan aktivitas fisik, mengonsumsi buah dan sayur, dan melakukan pemeriksaan kesehatan secara berkala untuk mendeteksi faktor risiko yang ada pada setiap orang. Grebek sehat merupakan sebuah upaya pengendalian penyakit tidak menular, dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan dan ketrampilan para petugas dan kader khususnya dalam melaksanakan kegiatan deteksi dini, pemantauan dan tindak lanjut faktor risiko penyakit tidak menular secara optimal sehingga diharapan dapat membantu dalam menekan laju peningkatan penyakit tidak menular di masyarakat.
