Forage plays a crucial role in the ruminant farm as the main diet whereas the forage availability is fluctuated, and low quality. This research was carried out to study the characteristics of sheep farming, forage diversity and supply at fattening period of local sheep in a small-scale farm area i.e., Ciaruteun Udik Village, Subdistrict Cibungbulang, Bogor Regency, at West Java, Indonesia. The study involved 64 farmers that have 5-15 sheep. Forage diversity and quality were analysed descriptive while relationship between collecting method and forage supply was performed linear model.Â The results showed that forage supply related to the forage collecting method, sheep ownership, forage container, and feeding time.Â The research was identified 69 forage species in the field around the farming area, while in the sheep barn there were 70 forage species.Â The differences occurred due to farmer also add forage from other sources such as paddy field, home garden and forage trader.Â The plants on forage sources classified as grasses were 36.3%, 1.50% legumes and 62.2% broadleaves plants.Â The highest forage diversity was found in fallow land areas around community residents. The proximate analyses showed that nutrient content on farms were similar to forage sources.

Ira Kusumawaty , Ari Siswanto
- FULL TEXT PDF
The conceptualization of water and sanitation as the foundation of life is the key to the success of sustainable development in the health sector. Fulfilling water and sanitation needs often encounters obstacles in the environment of certain family groups that touches the complexity of psychosocial health problems. The facts show that attention is often neglected to the impact of inadequate fulfillment of clean water and sanitation on psychosocial health. It is very important to further explore the impact of water availability and sanitation on psychosocial health in order to achieve sustainable health development. This qualitative research was carried out with a phenomenological study approach, involving 5 families living on the riverbank in Palembang, South Sumatera Province. The in-depth interview method is carried out until it reaches data saturation, observation and field notes are carried out during the data collection process. The results of data collection were analyzed using the Colaizzi method to obtain four themes including: stress due to not getting access to clean water, economic difficulties that cause emotional distress in accessing clean water, compulsion to use available water and inconvenience to use public sanitation facilities. The implication of this research is the need for policies to facilitate certain groups of people to access their needs for clean water and sanitation by paying attention to the psychological aspects of the community. Collaboration of community leaders is needed in accelerating access to clean water and sanitation that is more respectful of community dignity.

- FULL TEXT PDF
Ayamaru lake is a shallow lake located in the Maybrat district, West Papua which has a significant role in supporting the water supply, transportation, tourism, fisheries, and transit area for the migratory bird. The data and information of the trophic status and the fish potential yield in this lake should be understood before making any decisions for effective resource management to enhance fish production. The study was conducted in March and July 2019 in five sampling sites of Ayamaru lake, West Papua. Three water quality parameters were sampled for this study namely transparency, chlorophyll-a, and total phosphate. Moreover, these three parameters were used to calculate the Trophic State Index (TSI) and Fish Potential Yield. The result showed that based on the TSI value, the Ayamaru lake was categorized as a mesotrophic lake supported by its clear water. This waterbody has a fish potential yield of 56.33 kg/ha/year or 55.2 ton/year.

- FULL TEXT PDF
The advancement of science and technology plays a very important role in encouraging industrial progress. In addition to having a positive impact on the economy, industrial progress, on the other hand, has a negative impact in the form of pollution. One of the industrial activities is the coal mining industry. Various ways to deal with pollution include the electrolysis method, in which the liquid waste is flowed by a direct electric current through the electrode media. The purpose of this study was to examine the length of electrolysis and the amount of electric current used to reduce dissolved ions and total dissolved solids from coal stockpile wastewater. The method used is a survey in the form of sampling followed by waste treatment using electrolysis. The results showed that the combination of electrolysis time of 120 minutes and electric current of 3 A showed that the highest dissolved ions decreased by an average of 1,692.3 Âµs / cm from the initial pre-treatment of 1772 Âµs / cm. The highest mean decrease in total dissolved solids was 660.67 ppm from the beginning before treatment of 909 ppm.

- FULL TEXT PDF
The construction of power plants is very necessary to anticipate the crisis of electricity resources and always increases every year. Tanjung Enim city has Steam Power Plant (SPP), one of them is Banko SPP which has 3 x 10 MW capacity. It was built to meet the demand for society electrical energy. The existence of this SPP construction can cause environmental degradation such as a decrease in water quality that does not meet environmental quality standards. The decline in environmental quality can also have a direct impact on the community around the Tanjung Enim SPP location. This is due to the existence of SPP operational activities that can produce liquid waste such as boiler blowdown, airheater blowdown, cooling system and domestic waste waterfrom the manufacturing process. This research study aims to analyze water quality around Banko SPP based on the physical and chemical parameters by testing in the laboratory. The approach employed in this study was an experimental method that included laboratory sample and testing. The water quality pollution index (PI) which refers to the Ministerial Decree No. 115/2003 (Environmental Decree) was used to analyze the result of laboratory testing. The water quality samples examined in this study were wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) outlet, river water, and groundwater nearest to the SPP's location. The phenol and chlorine parameters exceeded the quality requirements referred to in the South Sumatra Governor Regulation No. 16 of 2005, according to the findings of laboratory testing of river water samples. The mercury (Hg) parameter in the WWTP outlet samples surpassed the South Sumatra Governor Regulation No. 16 of 2005 quality criteria. Meanwhile, the manganese (Mn) parameter in groundwater samples surpasses the quality requirement established by the Government of South Sumatra Regulation No. 82/ 2001 as Class I clean water quality criteria. The water quality pollution index (PI) method achieves a score of 1.52 with the category of Lightly Polluted. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the influence of SPP Banko's operations on water contamination is minor.

Air pollution in Kurdistan Region of Iraq: A review
Zanist Hama-Aziz University of Charmo Iraq
- FULL TEXT PDF
Air pollution is an increasingly environmental problem worldwide. People from Iraq and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) constantly complain of poor air quality in the region. Many studies have investigated particular aspects of air pollution in theKRI, the issue, however, has never been comprehensively discussed. This study, unlike its precedents, collects all the documents, research articles, and ground facts available concerning air pollution, and aims to thoroughly understand all dimensions of the issue and classifies its significant factors and sources. The result revealed that, compared to 40 years ago, current air quality in the KRI, specifically in the two largest cities of Erbil and Sulaimani, has deteriorated. The root causes were found to be political instability and wars in the region, a sharp increase in population, and poor public services. Similar to many other cities in the developing countries, sources such as transportation have contributed in the pollution. In addition, other significant sources such as dust storms, large and private power generators as well as household kerosene heaters which might not be present in other countries were found contributing in escalation of the pollution. It is concluded that air pollution in theKRIis the outcome of a variety of causes and sources some of which may not be common in other parts of the world.
