Mengubah Sampah Menjadi Harta Karun: Inovasi Daur Ulang yang Menguntungkan Lingkungan dan Ekonomi (Studi Literature)
Authors: Pahrijal Rival
Published: July 2023

Kebutuhan mendesak akan praktik pengelolaan sampah yang berkelanjutan telah menyebabkan meningkatnya minat terhadap inovasi daur ulang yang menawarkan manfaat lingkungan dan kelayakan ekonomi. Studi literatur ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi kemajuan dalam metodologi daur ulang dan implikasinya untuk mendorong ekonomi yang berkelanjutan dan sirkular. Melalui tinjauan sistematis terhadap literatur yang relevan, termasuk artikel yang diulas oleh rekan sejawat, prosiding konferensi, buku, dan laporan, studi ini mengkaji pendekatan daur ulang, manfaat lingkungan, dan kelayakan ekonomi.

Hasil tinjauan literatur mengungkapkan beragam pendekatan daur ulang, termasuk metode mekanis, kimiawi, dan biologis. Daur ulang mekanis, metode yang paling umum digunakan, melibatkan pemilahan dan pengolahan bahan limbah untuk membuat bahan baku sekunder untuk pembuatan produk baru. Teknologi canggih telah meningkatkan efisiensi dan efektivitas daur ulang mekanis. Teknik daur ulang kimiawi, seperti pirolisis dan gasifikasi, mengatasi tantangan yang terkait dengan aliran limbah yang kompleks. Metode daur ulang biologis, termasuk pengomposan dan pencernaan anaerobik, secara efektif mendegradasi bahan limbah organik. Manfaat lingkungan dari inovasi daur ulang sangat signifikan. Daur ulang menghemat energi, mengurangi emisi gas rumah kaca, dan membantu melestarikan sumber daya alam dengan mengurangi kebutuhan ekstraksi. Hal ini juga mengurangi risiko lingkungan yang terkait dengan penimbunan sampah dan berkontribusi pada ekonomi sirkular dengan mengalihkan sampah dari TPA.

Secara ekonomi, inovasi daur ulang menunjukkan kelayakan. Daur ulang dapat menghemat biaya dibandingkan dengan metode pembuangan sampah tradisional, terutama jika mempertimbangkan biaya TPA, harga bahan baku, dan peraturan lingkungan. Sektor daur ulang menghasilkan peluang kerja dan berkontribusi pada pertumbuhan ekonomi, mendorong ekonomi hijau dan menciptakan jalan bisnis baru. Namun, kelangsungan ekonomi daur ulang bergantung pada permintaan pasar untuk bahan dan produk daur ulang.

Published: July 2023

Kota Pekanbaru yang terletak di tengah Provinsi Riau memiliki kawasan kota yang dilewati oleh Sungai Siak. Berdasarkan karakter lokasi nya, pinggiran Sungai Siak yang melewati kawasan perkotaan tersebut secara alami memiliki nilai untuk dikembangkan sebagai kawasan tepian air atau waterfront. Pemerintah Kota Pekanbaru sendiri telah beberapa kali mewacanakan pengembangan dan penataan waterfront pinggir Sungai Siak, namun saat ini belum berkembang menjadi suatu rencana pengembangan kawasan kota yang nyata dan berkelanjutan. Meski demikian, pemerintah telah beberapa kali mengadakan program pembangunan ruang publik pinggir sungai seperti taman publik dan pedestrian rekreasi Riverwalk dalam upaya menghidupkan pinggir sungai sebagai tempat kegiatan rekreasi masyarakat kota. Melihat proses perkembangan kawasan yang demikian, perlu diketahui apakah program-program tersebut telah dapat membantu pembentukan karakter waterfront pada pinggir Sungai Siak yang mewadahi nya. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan pengumpulan data observasi lapangan dan studi literatur. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengidentifikasi apakah program-program pemerintah telah membantu pembentukan karakter waterfront kawasan penelitian, yang dapat menjadi referensi untuk rencana pembangunan waterfront kawasan di masa depan.

A mixed-methods study on the determinants of solar home systems utilization in rural, off-grid Nigeria
Authors: Audu Haliru , Adamu Ahmed , Oladipo OlaJide
Published: July 2023

This study employs a mixed-methods research approach to scrutinize the varied determinants influencing the willingness of off-grid rural households in Kwara State, Nigeria, to adopt Solar Home Systems (SHS). Integrating quantitative survey data from 400 households, qualitative findings derived from semi-structured interviews, and secondary data, the research provides a robust empirical framework. Through the application of Interval Regression and Tobit models, the analysis pinpoints income and education as key positive drivers towards SHS adoption, yet reveals a contrasting gender divide. Interestingly, a high level of satisfaction with the current energy provision emerges as a stumbling block to SHS acceptance. The research further identifies a distinct trend: households located further away from the grid exhibit a heightened propensity to pay for SHS, signifying a higher value attribution to SHS in these off-grid areas. The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions that encapsulate the diverse characteristics of households to ensure successful SHS promotion. The comprehensive insights garnered from this study offer indispensable guidance for policymakers and energy providers, bolstering strategic efforts to enhance SHS uptake and ultimately contributing to Nigeria's shift towards a more sustainable energy future.

Published: July 2023

Compared to other nations of the world particularly developed countries, the Nigerian economy is dominated by the use of cash in carrying out transactions. This necessitated the formulation and implementation of cashless policy in 2012 and naira redesign in 2023 to conform to global best practices in currency management since the introduction of cashless systems where transactions are carried out without the use of cash is gaining global attention. This study was conducted to review some of the pros and cons of the cashless policy and naira redesign by the Central Bank of Nigeria. The empirical information gathered are from research works by some analysts across the country, press briefings by the Apex Bank, Government Ministries, Agencies and Departments (MDAs), Presidency, newspaper reviews, etc. Findings from the study showed that the policy was well conceived considering the various opportunities that come with it. Notably, the fact that it reduced the number of unbanked population to an extent, increased employment generation through the influx of mobile banking operators and Point of Sale (POS) agents. However, it was generally opined that the policy implementation timeline was ill-advised. Due to the attendant consequences of the policy which made life somewhat unbearable for most citizens during the period, it was recommended that there be synergy between the three tiers of government (Executive, Legislature and Judiciary) while prioritizing stakeholders’ engagement and public awareness.

COMMUNICATIVE VERBAL COLLOCATIONS FOR ENGLISH CONVERSATION
Authors: Jha Sanjay K
Published: July 2023

This study hypothesizes that a language like English can be better learnt by learning it in collocational form rather than word form. Collocation, which is a vital unit of phraseology, is a natural association or grouping of a word particularly with another word(s) because words have cohesive nature or natural tendency of being grouped with particular word(s). Given this cohesive nature of words, this study identifies highly communicative verbal collocations for daily conversation by EFL and ESL learners.

Bệnh giun lươn (Strongyloidiasis) là bệnh nhiễm ký sinh trùng đường ruột mạn tính ởngười do giun Strongyloides spp. gây ra. Nhiễm giun lươn phân bố trên toàn thế giới, phổbiến nhất ở vùng nhiệt đới, cận nhiệt đới và vùng ôn đới ấm áp bao gồm Việt Nam. Bệnh giunlươn thường bị chẩn đoán sót vì người nhiễm có thể không có triệu chứng và các xét nghiệmchẩn đoán giun lươn thường dùng không đủ độ nhạy. Kỹ thuật LAMP (Loop-mediatedisothermal amplification) được kỳ vọng là phương pháp có độ nhạy, độ đặc hiệu cao và cóthể áp dụng tại thực địa để chẩn đoán nhiễm giun lươn Strongyloides stercoralis ở người.Trong nghiên cứu này, chúng tôi đã đánh giá độ nhạy, độ đặc hiệu và tính ổn định của một bộkit LAMP chẩn đoán nhiễm giun lươn đường ruột Strongyloides stercoralis. Bộ kit có độ nhạyvà độ đặc hiệu cáo, vẫn hoạt động ổn định sau 12 tháng bảo quản ở -200C ±50C và 6 thángsau khi mở nắp

Muỗi Aedes trong đó Aedes aegypti và Aedes albopictus là hai vector chính truyềnarbovirus (Dengue và Zika,…), phân bố rộng rãi ở các vùng nhiệt đới liên quan mật thiết đếnbiến động thời tiết cũng như biến đổi khí hậu toàn cầu. Gia Lai là một trong những tỉnh thuộckhu vực Tây Nguyên, hàng năm có chỉ số bệnh sốt xuất huyết cao nên nghiên cứu này đã đềcập đến sự hiện diện phong phú của muỗi Aedes tại thành phố Pleiku, đồng thời xác định ảnhhưởng của thời tiết đến các chỉ số bọ gậy của vector truyền bệnh cũng như tỉ lệ bệnh sốt xuấthuyết để có cơ sở đề xuất các biện pháp kiểm soát sốt xuất huyết hiệu quả hơn trong bối cảnhnhiệt độ dao động 20ºC - 25ºC, độ ẩm không khí 70% - 90%, mùa mưa kéo dài từ tháng 4 -10 nên Pleiku luôn thuận lợi cho muỗi Aedes sinh sản và phát triển quanh năm khiến dịchbệnh sốt xuất huyết thường xảy ra. Nghiên cứu này thu thập dữ liệu thời tiết hàng ngày từ Đàikhí tượng thủy văn (KTTV) khu vực Tây Nguyên và tổng hợp dữ liệu hàng tháng, thu thập dữliệu về các ca bệnh sốt xuất huyết năm 2020 và tính toán tỷ lệ mắc hàng tháng, điều tra cắtngang và giám sát muỗi Aedes trong vòng 6 tháng (từ tháng 7 - 12/2020), tiến hành so sánhcác kết quả với nhau để xác định mức độ ảnh hưởng của các yếu tố thời tiết đến tỉ lệ mắcbệnh sốt xuất huyết với các chỉ số BI (Breteau Index), CI (Container index), HI (House index)của muỗi Aedes. Kết quả nghiên cứu đã xác định có 2 vector chính truyền arbovirus là Aedesaegypti và Aedes albopictus, đồng thời tìm thấy mối tương quan thuận giữa tỷ lệ mắc bệnh sốtxuất huyết, các chỉ số rủi ro muỗi Aedes với lượng mưa, độ ẩm và nhiệt độ tại địa phương.Đây là cơ sở góp phần cải thiện quy trình quản lý bệnh sốt xuất huyết và kiểm soát vectortruyền bệnh trên địa bàn tỉnh Gia Lai cũng như khu vực Tây Nguyên một cách bền vững.

Bệnh giun đũa chó mèo không có các triệu chứng điển hình nên việc chẩn đoán lâmsàng gặp rất nhiều khó khăn, chủ yếu dựa trên kỹ thuật ELISA phát hiện kháng thể IgG khánglại kháng nguyên chất tiết của Toxocara spp. (Toxocara Excretory-Secretory - TES). TES-30là một trong những kháng nguyên chính, quan trọng và mang tính bảo tồn cao của giốngToxocara, được tiết ra bởi ấu trùng giai đoạn hai khi di chuyển trong cơ thể vật chủ. Do việcnuôi ấu trùng để thu nhận kháng nguyên TES này rất khó khăn nên chúng tôi đã tiến hànhtổng hợp nhân tạo gen mục tiêu mã hóa kháng nguyên TES-30. Đầu tiên, gen mục tiêu (mãsố: AB009305.2) được tối ưu trình tự mã bộ ba cho phù hợp biểu hiện trong tế bào vật chủ E.coli, và 18 đoạn oligos ngắn được thiết kế và tổng hợp bằng phần mềm DNA works, gen mụctiêu được tổng hợp nhân tạo bằng phương pháp PCR hai bước. Tiếp đó, trình tự gen đã tổnghợp được đưa vào vector tách dòng pJET1.2/blunt để kiểm tra khả năng tổng hợp và giảitrình tự gen để để đánh giá kết quả biểu hiện. Kết quả giải trình tự cho thấy phương pháp nàycho phép tổng hợp được trình tự gen mục tiêu với độ chính xác là 3/7 dòng plasmid. Tổnghợp thành công được trình tự gen mong muốn giúp chủ động được nguồn nguyên liệu và mởra triển vọng tổng hợp các gen tái tổ hợp khó trong tương lai
