Judul: Analisis Hotspot dan Area Bekas Terbakar di Kabupaten Sumba Timur Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur
Abstrak: Kabupaten Sumba Timur merupakan salah satu provinsi di Indonesia yang memiliki intensitas curah hujan rendah yang mengakibatkan musim kemarau berkepanjangan sehingga sangat rentan terhadap bahaya kebakaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi sebaran hotspot dan menganalisis pengaruh intensitas curah hujan tahunan terhadap pola sebaran hotspot di Kabupaten Sumba Timur pada tahun 2015 dan 2019. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini berupa hotspot dari citra satelit MODIS Terra/Aqua, data wilayah administrasi dalam bentuk spasial dari BIG, data Tutupan lahan dari KLHK, serta data curah hujan dari CHIRPS. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa jumlah hotspot tahun 2015 adalah 148, dengan jumlah hotspot tertinggi terjadi pada tutupan lahan jenis savana/padang rumput sebesar 89. Tahun 2019 memiliki jumlah hotspot 164 dengan sebaran tertinggi pada jenis tutupan lahan savana/padang rumput. Luas area terbakar pada tahun 2015 di Kabupaten Sumba Timur adalah sebesar 46.565 hektar , pada tahun 2019 sebesar 51.595 hektar . Curah hujan terendah terjadi pada bulan September 2015 sebesar 5,9 mm dan curah hujan tertinggi terjadi pada bulan Januari 2019 sebesar 328 mm.

Judul: Analysis of Hotspots, Precipitation, and Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies in East Tanjung Jabung Regency, Jambi
Abstrak: Kebakaran hutan dan lahan merupakan permasalahan serius yang terjadi setiap tahun di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi keterkaitan antara titik panas (hotspot), curah hujan, dan anomali Sea Surface Temperature (SST) sebagai indikator potensi terjadinya kebakaran gambut di Kabupaten Tanjung Jabung Timur. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan September-Desember 2023. Data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder. Uji korelasi dilakukan antara data hotspot, curah hujan bulanan, dan SSTA Nino 3.4 pada tahun 2015-2022 untuk mengetahui adanya hubungan antara curah hujan dengan jumlah hotspot yang terdeteksi dan faktor yang memengaruhinya. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah hubungan hotspot dengan curah hujan berkorelasi negatif dengan nilai r sebesar -0.401 yang termasuk dalam kategori cukup, dan hubungan hotspot dengan anomali SST berkorelasi positif. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa jumlah hotspot di Kabupaten Tanjung Jabung Timur pada tahun 2015-2022 berkaitan erat dengan curah hujan, namun tidak terlalu erat dengan SST anomalies., Forest and land fires are a serious problem that occurs every year in Indonesia. This research aims to identify the relationship between hotspots, precipitation and Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies (SSTA) as indicators of the potential for peatland fires in East Tanjung Jabung Regency. This research was conducted in September-December 2023. The data used is secondary data. Correlation tests were carried out between hotspot data, monthly precipitation, and SSTA Nino 3.4 in 2015-2022 to determine the relationship between precipitation, the number of hotspots detected, and the factors that influence them. The results of this research are that the relationship between hotspots and precipitation is negatively correlated with an r value of -0.400 which is included in the sufficient category, and the relationship between hotspots and anomaly SST is positively correlated. These findings showed that the number of hotspots in East Tanjung Jabung Regency is closely related to precipitation but not too closely with SST anomalies.

Judul: Synthesis of Chicken Eggshells-Based β-Tricalcium Phosphate Bioceramics and Their Biocompatibility Test as A Tooth Filler
Abstrak: Preservation of alveolar bone following tooth extraction is an important step in dental practices before dental implant placement. This study reported synthesis of β-Tricalcium Phosphate (β-TCP) bioceramics and its biocompatibility test as a tooth filler to maintain the desired alveolar ridge dimension and stimulate the bone healing processes in the area of tooth loss. β-TCP bioceramics was resulted directly from precipitation of calcinated chicken eggshells as calcium source and phosphoric acid. The corresponding β-TCP was mixed with chitosan 2% to get β-TCP pellet for biocompatibility testing. Biocompatibility testing of β-TCP on lower incisor was performed in rabbits and sheep as animal model. In this study, the x-ray diffraction (XRD) profiles showed that 1000 oC calcinated chicken eggshells correspond to calcium oxide (CaO). There was also transformation phase of CaO into Ca(OH)2 observed after more than three months stored. The XRD profiles proved that obtained β-TCP bioceramics by precipitation has the same pattern with that of reference data base and commercial β-TCP. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra were completely consistent with the result of crystallization processes observed by XRD measurements. Moreover, the purity of the product shown by the atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) resulted in Ca/P ratio of 1.48 which was closed to that of standard β-TCP ceramics. The repeatable XRD peaks patterns and FTIR spectra obviously showed the sample reproducibility. Sheep’s alveolar socket that is filled with the corresponding β-TCP demonstrated the expected results. The x-ray radiograph of sheep’s jaw indicated no change on mesio-distal of the edentulous area. Moreover, the histological results were completely consistent with the x-ray radiograph and macroscopic result which is proved by the formation of new bone. In the contrary with sheep’s result, histological results showed no tooth growth on rabbit proved by the presence of lipid and collagen on the extraction site. This result did not correspond to the x-ray radiograph and macroscopic results that demonstrated the tooth growth and erupted tooth. It is clear that the corresponding β-TCP could minimize the bone loss and maintain the dimension of alveolar ridge.
