Judul: The Effect of Rainfall and Forest and Land Fires in East Tanjung Jabung Regency, Jambi Province
Abstrak: Kabupaten Tanjung Jabung Timur merupakan salah satu kabupaten paling timur dari Provinsi Jambi dengan luasan lahan gambut terluas di Provinsi Jambi. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh curah hujan dan kaitannya dengan hotspot sebagai indikator terjadinya kebakaran hutan dan lahan gambut di Kabupaten Tanjung Jabung Timur, Provinsi Jambi. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini bersumber dari NASA FIRMS untuk hotspot dan NASA POWER untuk curah hujan yang dianalisis secara deskriptif dan korelasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan jumlah hotspot tahunan dari tahun 2018 – 2022 sebanyak 1696 titik dengan 1075 titik berada pada lahan gambut dan 621 lainnya pada lahan mineral. Peningkatan terjadi di tahun 2019 sebanyak 1636 titik disebabkan kejadian kebakaran yang menjangkau 5151,02 ha. Hasil analisis korelasi menunjukkan curah hujan dengan hotspot tidak memiliki korelasi yang signifikan dengan koefisien korelasi negatif kuat sehingga peningkatan hotspot diikuti dengan penuruan curah hujan, dan sebaliknya., East Tanjung Jabung Regency is one of the easternmost districts of Jambi Province and has the largest peatland area in Jambi Province. The research aims to determine the effect of rainfall and its relation to hotspots as an indicator of forest and peatland fires in East Tanjung Jabung Regency, Jambi Province. The data used in this study were sourced from NASA FIRMS for hotspots and NASA POWER for rainfall, which were analyzed descriptively and correlationally. The results of the study show that the number of annual hotspots from 2018 to 2022 is 1696, with 1075 points on peatlands and 621 others on mineral lands. The increase occurred in 2019 by 1636 points due to fire incidents that covered 5,151.02 ha. The results of the correlation analysis show that rainfall with hotspots does not have a significant correlation with a strong negative correlation coefficient, so an increase in hotspots is followed by a decrease in rainfall, and vice versa.

Judul: Analysis of Humidity, Air Temperature and Rainfall on Peat Fire Case in Jambi
Abstrak: Kabupaten Tanjung Jabung Timur Jambi memiliki permasalahan serius pada kebakaran lahan gambut. Pengaruh kelembapan, suhu udara dan curah hujan seringkali dikaitkan dengan pengaruh iklim yang memberikan kondisi ideal untuk terjadinya kebakaran. Informasi hotspot yang didapatkan dari penginderaan jauh melalui satelit Terra dan Aqua MODIS dapat digunakan untuk mengetahui jumlah hotspot dan peluang terjadinya kebakaran. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis hubungan antara kelembapan, suhu udara dan curah hujan terhadap kejadian kebakaran hutan dan gambut di Kabupaten Tanjung Jabung Timur Jambi pada tahun 2017-2019. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa analisis korelasi kelembapan, suhu udara, curah hujan terhadap hotspot di Kabupaten Tanjung Jabung Timur dalam kurun waktu 2017-2019 memperlihatkan bahwa ketiganya memberikan sumbangan pengaruh terhadap jumlah hotspot. Kelembapan merupakan variabel dengan nilai korelasi tertinggi, sebesar -0,569. Penurunan kelembapan udara yang diikuti oleh penurunan curah hujan disertai terjadinya peningkatan suhu udara mulai bulan Juni sampai bulan September 2019 menyebabkan terjadinya peningkatan hotspot tertinggi pada bulan September 2019 yang menyebabkan terjadi peningkatan kejadian kebakaran di Tanjung Jabung Timur, Jambi., Tanjung Jabung Timur Jambi has a serious problem with peatlands fires. The effects of humidity, air temperature and rainfall are often associated with climatic influences that provide ideal conditions for fire to occur. Hotspot information obtained from remote sensing through the Terra and Aqua MODIS satellites can be used to determine the number of hotspot and the chance of fire occurrences. The research objective was to analyze the relationship between air humidity, air temperature and rainfall to the forest fires in Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency, Jambi during 2017-2019. The results showed that analysis of correlation between air humidity, air temperature, and rainfall on hotspot occurrences at Tanjung Jabung Timur shows that all three variables contributed to the number of hotspot. Humidity was the variable with highest correlation of -0,569. The decrease of humidity that followed by a decrease in rainfall and an increase in air temperature from June to September 2019 led to the highest hotspot in September 2019, which resulted to an increase of forest fire occurrences in Tanjung Jabung Timur, Jambi.

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.
