This paper aims to examine the conflicts that occur between communities around the mine and mining companies. Mining is one sector that often reaps protests that lead to conflicts from communities other than plantations and forestry. Conflicts that occur in the same form tend to be resolved through the same method. Conflicts that occur repeatedly indicate there is no conflict resolution for the substantial problem that was become the conflict trigger. Conflict resolution efforts are often not directly related to the impacts that caused by the company’s extraction activities. this shows the tendency that emerged that the conflict was then maintained as a strategy to obtain profits from the company’s existence.
This paper aims to examine development as part of decentralization agenda, which challenges with environmental issues. Decentralization seeks to improve society as a top priority and at the same time, it tends to produce a degraded environment as a negative impact of exploration of natural resources to pursue community improvement. The rise of environmental problems that arise at this time demands attention from the public and the government, but as long local governments still prioritize economic interests, the implementation of decentralization will always be in a dilemma of environmental conditions. This paper employs qualitative research with cases study in two areas, namely Maros and Pangkajene Regencies in South Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Glucose transporter (GLUT 4) is glucose transporter protein regulated by insulin, found in adipose tissue and striated muscle (skeletal and cardiac muscle). Kedu cemani chicken is one of Indonesia endemic animal, found in Kedu, Temanggung regency, Central Java. This study was required to complete microscopic documentation of Indonesia’s native biodiversity. The objective of this study was to clarify GLUT 4 distribution in skeletal muscle fibers of kedu cemani chicken by using avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex (ABC) immunohistochemistry method. This study was conducted by using pectorales major, biceps brachii, and biceps femoris muscle tissue from 5 kedu cemani chicken. The result showed that GLUT 4 immunoreactivity were detected in sarcolemma and myofibrils component of pectorales major, biceps brachii, and biceps femoris muscle tissue. Intensity of GLUT 4 immunorectivites increased from weak intensity in pectorales major muscle tissue, moderate intensity in biceps brachii muscle tissue, then strong intensity in biceps femoris muscle tissue. This result might motivate to further exploration about the other kedu cemani chicken specific features to complete microscopic documentation of Indonesia’s native biodiversity.
This study aims to look at the anthropocentric and ecocentric ethical debate in viewing environmental degradation that occurs. Sustainable development is expected to be a solution to environmental degradation and human interests, but ongoing development does not have a significant improvement in environmental conditions. Based on the results of research conducted on communities around the South Sulawesi mine, the conception of development to meet human needs is then faced with the reality of natural damage that has the potential to threaten the sustainability of human life. Therefore, ecocentric ethics arises with the offer of equilibrium development or zero growth because, growth and distribution of human population will certainly have an impact on the environment, so environmental degradation can only be resolved through this concept but at the same time it will bring consequences to the meaning of the sustainability of development itself which still needs growth as an important thing in meeting the increasing human needs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
