ecosystem functions. The main effects of long-term heavy metal pollution include biodiversity and habitat degradation. These pollutants can disrupt living organisms at the molecular, cellular, and physiological levels, resulting in adverse effects at the population and community levels (Lionetto et al., 2019). Heavy metal pollution mostly comes from anthropogenic practices as a result of industrialization, farming operation, and urban growth (AnvariFar et al., 2018). Heavy metals that often pollute estuaries are Cu, Zn, Fe, Pb, Cd, Hg, and Ag (Marques et al., 2019). However, society often overlooks the health effects of heavy metals and our overall knowledge about the biological effects of heavy metals on estuary ecosystems is minimal. Accordingly, establishing a biomonitoring program using biomarkers as an early identification tool is mandatory for preventing the harmful effects of heavy metal pollutants on the estuary ecosystem. The purpose of the biomonitoring program is to measure the environmental quality through the use of living organisms on a regular and systematic basis or through their normal responses as markers in the environment (
Determining category of physical appropriateness of DWS under health office development and controlling program of Hulu Sungai Utara Regency, Determining Microbiology quality of DWA under health office development and controlling program of Hulu Sungai Utara Regency, analyzing the correlation of physical appropriateness and microbiology quality if DWS under health office development and controlling program of Hulu Sungai Utara Regency. This is a quantitative study using cross-sectional research design in which the research was conducted in a certain period of time, the location of research was in 10 service area of the public health center in 9 subdistricts under health office development and controlling program of Hulu Sungai Utara Regency. It was found that 30 DWS (Drinking Water Storehouse) is under health office development and controlling program of Hulu Sungai Utara Regency, DWS which categorized as physically not Appropriate (TLF) was 20 DWS (66,7%) and categorized as physically appropriate (LF) was 10 DWS (33,3%). Microbiology quality of Balangan, Tabalong, Negara, Tangkawang and Rantau Bujur Darat River were excess the standard of quality of class I intended for the drinking water source. Microbiology quality of water source (PDAM) from 30 samples, it was found that 14 samples (46,7%) contained Coliform and E. coli, there were 2 samples (6,7%) contained only Coliform. Quality of microbiology and water product of 30 DWS, it was found that 2 DWS contained Coliform, all water of DWS production did not contain E.coli. Statistical test of the correlation of physical appropriateness and microbiology quality of river water cannot be conducted because all samples have the same category which is TMS so that there was no difference in result data of category determination. There was no significant difference between physical appropriateness with microbiology quality of Coliform (p=0,260) and E.coli (p = 0,235) raw water of DWS. There was no significant correlation of physical appropriateness with microbiology quality of Coliform (p = 0,540) water product of DWS, meanwhile for statistical test for correlation of physical appropriateness and microbiology quality of E.coli of water product cannot be conducted because there was no difference in result data of category determination so that all samples has the same category.
The purpose of this PKM is to provide knowledge and skills for catfish-based product processing, to know the driving and inhibiting factors for business sustainability, and to analyze the financial value of the business. The activity methods applied are: (1) socialization and theoretical learning, (2) training and mentoring, and (3) evaluation of activities. The results of the PKM showed that the attitudes and knowledge of Poklahasar members have increased from insufficient to sufficient about catfish-based processing. Variations in the knowledge and abilities of group members before and after counseling were decreasing or tending to the average score. The driving factor for the success of the activities and the sustainability of their respective businesses is the willingness of the group members to increase the quality and quantity of the processed product. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factor is the uncertainty of market demand so that the group only produces relatively limited quantities. The processing of catfish-based products is financially able to provide decent benefits with payback period is shortly.
Stress and disease in fish often occur in the aquaculture industry and the aquatic environment. Microbial infection, water quality, and improper management are factors that may cause stress and disease in fish (Guardiola et al., 2016). Fish live in an environment surrounded by microbes. Its skin is susceptible to infection because of ARTICLE INFO
Background: Indonesia has the third largest biodiversity of primate fauna in the world with 61 species, and there are 38 endemic primate species from these 61 species. One of the endangered endemic primates is Proboscis Monkey which is the mascot of the fauna of South Kalimantan. Proboscis proboscis conservation efforts are the responsibility of all parties, including the community. Community concern and participation are indicators of the success of proboscis monkey conservation. Aim: This study aims to analyze the condition of the socio-cultural aspects of the local community around the proboscis monkey habitat in the Curiak Island area through knowledge, perception and community participation. Method: Descriptive method with purposive sampling was used. Meanwhile, the research instruments were in the form of questionnaires distributed to the public and direct interviews. Findings: The results of this study show that public knowledge of the existence of proboscis monkeys and their habitat on average exceeds 50%; people's perception of the existence of proboscis monkeys and their habitat on average exceeds 50%; and community participation in efforts to protect proboscis monkeys and their habitats by more than 80%.
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.
