Conserving large carnivores that live in close proximity to people depends on a variety of socioeconomic , political and biological factors. These include local tolerance toward potentially dangerous animals, efficacy of human-carnivore conflict mitigation schemes, and identifying and then addressing the underlying causes of conflict. The Leuser Ecosystem is the largest contiguous forest habitat for the critically endangered Sumatran tiger. Its extensive forest edge is abutted by farming communities and we predict that spatial variation in human-tiger conflict (HTC) would be a function of habitat conversion, livestock abundance, and poaching of tiger and its wild prey. To investigate which of these potential drivers of conflict, as well as other biophysical factors, best explain the observed patterns, we used resource selection function (RSF) technique to develop a predictive spatially explicit model of HTC. From 148 conflict incidences recorded from 2008 to 2018 across the Leuser Ecosystem, the areas that were closer to villages and with lower occurrence of wild prey were most susceptible to tiger attacks. From 18 districts monitored, 6 stood out for having disproportionately high levels of HTC. We recommend that these areas be prioritized with increased support from conflict mitigation teams to prevent further injuries to people, livestock or tigers; district governments address one underlying cause of HTC by supporting improved animal husbandry practices, such as tiger-proof livestock pen construction; and, an increase in ranger patrol effort to recover wild prey populations. This type of priority setting approach has wide application for better determining the required management response to reduce conflicts between people and large carnivores in both tropical and temporal landscapes.
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Real Science Mask with QR Code on students' problem-solving skills and scientific literacy. This research is a type of experimental research that uses the Pretest Posttest Control Group Design model. The subjects of this study were students in the Integrated Science Education study program for the academic year 2020/2021 of Universitas Negeri Semarang. The sample from the population was divided into experimental class and control class. The observation instrument used an observation sheet based on the assessment indicators of students' activities during learning. Data analysis in this study used quantitative descriptive analysis, where each average value is described in each aspect of the assessment based on indicators. The results showed that the experimental class that applied the Real Science Mask with QR Code had the highest average score of Problem-Solving skills in the assessment aspect of discussing the suitability of scientific phenomena with a score of 9.4 and scientific literacy on the aspect of student assessment in seeking scientific references with a score of 8.8. The posttest results obtained a t-count value of 8,951 with df = 16, consulted with the t-table value at a significance level of 5%, and df = 16 obtained 2,120. These results indicate that the value of t-count is greater than the t-table value (8,951 > 2,120) it means that there is a significant difference between the experimental and control classes. Furthermore, the average of these two aspects of the assessment is higher when compared to the control class. These results indicate that the Real Science Mask with QR Code is effective in improving students' problem-solving skills and scientific literacy.
The purpose of this research was to study the condition of seagrass communities at Pacitan coast. The study was conducted at Klayar, Srau, Teleng Ria, Pancer, Tawang, and Pidakan at Pacitan coast. The presence of seagrass communities was determined by the physical and chemical factors. Data were collected using quadrate plots with five transects. At each transect, data was collected using the quadrate plot, 0.5 m x 0.5 m, with 11 replications. On each plot, number of species, density, and their coverage were measured. Water quality such as light penetration, water level, current velocity, salinity, temperature, wave height, DO, pH, sediment texture, and nutrients of NH4, NO3, PO4, C-organic were also measured. The results showed, from 6 beaches studied, seagrass is only found in Tawang and Pidakan. There were 3 species of seagrass in Tawang beach, i. e Cymodocea serrulata, Thalassia hemprichii, and Halophila ovalis which were distributed unevenly, with 37,66 % coverage. In Pidakan beach, there is 1 species of seagrass, Thalassia hemprichii, with 30,89 % coverage. These variations were due to the physical and chemical factors in each location. T. hemprichii was the seagrass species which was tolerant to changes in environmental conditions. Light and substrate were as important factors that determined the presence and abundance of seagrass communities in Pacitan coastal waters.
The Industrial Revolution 4.0 demands the use of technology in every aspect, including in education. One of the efforts to prepare human resources in the field of education is the government policy regarding “Independent Learning: Independent Campus”. Higher education graduates will be required to master various fields of science and be flexible in developing independence when seeking and finding knowledge. This requires good digital literacy skills. Real Science Mask with QR Code is a learning media which connected to Google classroom and make a concrete science concept. The research method was carried out by developing a product in Real Science Mask with a QR Code which will be tested for its validity and the effectiveness of the product in learning. The final data analysis was carried out by analyzing the students’ digital literacy scores. Students’ digital literacy skills using Real Science Mask with QR Code were in the high category of 71.43% and the medium category of 28.57%. The results of the study were also supported by a good response from students of 57.14%. It concluded that learning using the Real Science Mask with the QR Code model is effective in improving the students’ digital literacy skills.
Active learning using real learning environment is essential for developing a scientific attitude. Ecotourism is one of the ecosystems that can be used as a learning environment and a place to find teaching materials. Learning about zoology not be separated from the object of study of birds (Aves). Vertebrates Taxonomy learning in birds is often carried out a study object only in the classroom or laboratory. Green learning method is a learning system using natural environment directly in the learning process and the preparation of teaching materials. This research was conducted in Wana Grape, sub Wungu, Madiun. This study uses point count method. Exploration carried out by recording the observations of the object being observed, resulting in a general form of teaching materials that were analyzed descriptively. Application of green learning method makes it easy for professors to materials development courses Vertebrate taxonomy. The presence of green learning method provides real study materials from the natural surroundings by utilizing existing local potential. There are 7 species of birds that exist in ecotourism Grape. The most dominant species of birds are Emprit / Bondol Java (Lonchura leucogastroides), Erasia Church (Passer Montanus, Bar-winged prinia Java (Prinia familiaris). The most rare bird is Black Srigunting (Dicrurus macrocercus) and Cucak Kutilang (Pycnonotus aurigaster). Ecotourism Grape very relevant to learning and teaching materials manufacture taxonomy based green learning method.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the VLOG Environmental Exploration assignment method on students' biodiversity literacy. VLOG Environmental Exploration as a form of project assignment for students to learn to analyze the environment through independent video making. The research method used is True Experimental Design in the form of Posttest Only Control Design. The research subjects were students of IAIN Salatiga Tadris IPA in the odd semester of the 2020/2021 academic year. Data on students' biodiversity literacy abilities were obtained using tests, then analyzed by statistical difference test t-test. The results showed a significant difference in the biodiversity literacy abilities of students in the experimental class and the control class. These results indicate that VLOG Environmental Exploration can affect the increase in student biodiversity literacy. VLOG Environmental Exploration involves in-depth analysis of the condition of biodiversity in the environment in which students live. Students' cognitive abilities have an important role to play in analyzing environmental biodiversity.
