Judul: Spatial Distribution of Inundation Floods on Belawan Coastal Area, North Sumatra Detected Using Satellite Imagery
Abstrak: Kecamatan Belawan merupakan kawasan pemukiman perkotaan padat dan memiliki resiko bahaya pasang surut air laut yang tinggi. Banjir adalah genangan air yang berasal dari laut yang terjadi di pesisir yang diakibatkan oleh pasang naik air laut. Penelitian ini bertujuan memetakan sebaran genangan banjir rob yang terjadi di Belawan, Sumatera Utara dengan menggunakan citra satelit Sentinel 1A dan data Sentinel 2A. Sebaran banjir rob diperoleh dari delineasi dua wilayah darat dan perairan menggunakan Sentinel 2A yang dilakukan penyesuaian dengan DEMNAS dan data pendukung lainnya yang mempengaruhi seperti arah angin, pasang surut, penurunan muka tanah, dan curah hujan terhadap lokasi penelitian. Hasil analisis data bulan Oktober adanya genangan dengan luas sebaran sebesar 13.185.520 m² (43,3%) sedangkan lahan yang tidak terdampak memiliki luas sebaran sebesar 16.952.760 m² (56,7%). Saat bulan November terdapat genangan yang memiliki luas sebaran sebesar 13.415.480 m² (44,4%) sedangkan lahan yang tidak terdampak memiliki luas sebaran sebesar 16.722.800 m² (55,6%). Pada bulan Desember terdapat genangan seluas 11.762.900 m² (38,9%) sedangkan lahan yang tidak terdampak memiliki luas sebaran sebesar 18.375.380 m² (61,1%). Banjir rob berdampak terhadap tutupan lahan meliputi tubuh air/kolam/rawa, sawah, perkebunan, pemukiman, dan lahan terbuka., The Belawan Subdistrict is a densely populated urban area with a high risk of tidal flooding from the sea. Flooding is the inundation of coastal areas caused by rising sea levels. This study aims to map the distribution of tidal flood inundation in Belawan, North Sumatra, using Sentinel 1A satellite imagery and Sentinel 2A data. The flood distribution was obtained by delineating two land and water areas using Sentinel 2A, adjusted with DEMNAS and other supporting data that influence the location, such as wind direction, tides, land subsidence, and rainfall. The analysis results for October showed that the flooded area covered 13,185,520 m² (43.3%) of the study area, while the non-affected land covered 16,952,760 m² (56.7%). In November, the flooded area covered 13,415,480 m² (44.4%), and the non-affected land covered 16,722,800 m² (55.6%). By December, the flooded area decreased to 11,762,900 m² (38.9%), while the non-affected land increased to 18,375,380 m² (61.1%). The tidal flooding impacted various land covers, including water bodies/ponds, rice fields, plantations, settlements, and open land.

Judul: Flood Susceptibility Area Mapping in East Belitung  Regency based on Geographic Information System
Abstrak: Banjir merupakan salah satu permasalahan di Kabupaten Belitung Timur, namun belum dipetakan kerawanan banjir untuk wilayah kabupaten. Peta rawan banjir termasuk langkah untuk mengurangi dampak bencana banjir yang dapat diidentifikasi dengan cepat menggunakan sistem informasi geografis dan pengindraan jauh. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah membuat peta daerah rawan banjir di Kabupaten Belitung Timur dan memvalidasinya. Identifikasi daerah rawan banjir dilakukan dengan metode skoring dan pembobotan. Validasi dilakukan terhadap gambar dampak lokasi dan data pengindraan jauh Sentinel-1. Parameter yang mempengaruhi kerawanan banjir di Kabupaten Belitung Timur adalah curah hujan, kemiringan lereng, ketinggian lahan, tutupan lahan, jenis tanah, dan buffer sungai. Hasil penelitian menyatakan Kabupaten Belitung Timur memiliki tingkat kerawanan banjir sedang yang terluas. Tingkat kerawanan rendah dan sedang terluas terdapat di Kecamatan Kelapa Kampit, sedangkan tingkat kerawanan banjir tinggi dan sangat tinggi terluas terdapat di Kecamatan Gantung. Sebanyak 12 titik dari 18 titik kejadian banjir terletak di wilayah kerawanan tinggi. Genangan banjir menurut citra Sentinel-1 teramati di lima kecamatan dengan luas terbesar di kerawanan banjir tinggi sebesar 28,97 km2., Flood is one of problems in East Belitung Regency, but the flood susceptibility has not been mapped for the region. A Flood susceptibility map helps reduce the impact of flood disasters. The map can be quickly generated using geographic information systems and remote sensing. This research aims to create a flood susceptibility map in East Belitung Regency and validate it. Flood-susceptible areas are identified using a weighted scoring method. Validation is based on impact images of flooding and remote sensing data. Parameters affecting flood susceptibility in East Belitung Regency include rainfall intensity, land slope, land elevation, land cover, soil type, and buffer distance from a river. The results indicate that East Belitung Regency has the largest area of moderate flood susceptibility. Low and moderate susceptibility has the greatest area in Kelapa Kampit District, while high and very high susceptibility has the greatest coverage in Gantung District. Twelve of eighteen identified flood points are in high susceptibility areas. According to Sentinel-1 imagery, flooding is observed in five districts, covering an area of about 28.97 km2, primarily within high susceptibility areas.

Judul: Synthesis of Apatite - Chitosan Composite Using Duck Eggshell and Chitosan with Temperature and pH Control
Abstrak: Composite of apatite-chitosan was prepared by using chitosan as polymer matrix. Calcium phosphate was prepared from CaO and (NH4)2HPO4, which the ratio Ca : P had to be 1.67. Chitosan is produced by deacetilase from biopolymer chitin. Duck eggshell (95% CaCO3) as starting material was converted to be calcium oxide (CaO) through calcinations with temperature 1000oC for 5 hours. In-situ and ex-situ methods were prepared from apatite and chitosan (dissolved with acetate acid 2%). Calcium phosphate prepared for bone implantation, but it is too fragile and brittle to be implant into the body. So addition of chitosan can decrease crystalinity and increase mechanic characteristic (tougher). Composite apatite-chitosan was resulted by fast precipitation. Fast precipitation was held in a breaker glass with nitrogen atmosphere, under controlled temperature at 37oC and pH 7, in order to increase amount of hydroxyapatite. Precipitation with CaO which was dropped by (NH4)2HPO4. Hydroxyapatite and chitosan were appearing at samples with in-situ and ex-situ methods which indicating by peak matching of XRD (closed lattice parameter, crystal size), overlapping at FTIR spectra and supporting by SEM picture (homogenous and agglomerated particle). However, it still needs further research to examine biocompatibility osteoconductive degree of sample by in-vivo and in-vitro test.
