Mining, which involves extracting minerals and utilizing natural resources, requires careful planning to ensure feasibility and safety. A critical aspect of open pit mine design is slope stability, influenced by geological characteristics, slope topography, and groundwater conditions. Slope stability analysis, using methods such as the Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM), which has been popular for decades for its convenience, evaluates the potential for slope failure and provides geometric slope design recommendations to reduce risk, improve operational efficiency, and ensure environmental sustainability. The research was conducted at PT Petrosea Tbk, with the mine site in Sebakis Village, Sebuku Subdistrict, Nunukan Regency, North Kalimantan, PT X region. The research object is a lowwall slope that requires stability analysis to prevent landslides. The slope safety criteria are based on the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Decree No. 1827 K/30/MEM/2018 guidelines, specifically 1.1. To perform the analysis, laboratory test data is required, including rock physical property tests and rock shear strength tests to obtain material property values. This data was then analysed using Rocscience Slide2 software by comparing three methods: Bishop, Janbu, and Morgenstern-Price. The analysis was conducted based on the actual conditions of each slope cut geometry. If the obtained safety factor does not meet the criteria of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Decree No. 1827 K/30/MEM/2018, then designing a geometry of lowwall slope is required. The geometric slope design used on the lowwall slope includes creating benches to flatten the slope level, and installing drain holes to decrease the ground water level.

Mezclas asfálticas con polvo de neumático fuera de uso como parte de la economía circular
Authors: Zapata Ferrero Ignacio , Rivera Julián , Botasso Gerardo
Published: August 2024

Los neumáticos desechados a diario generan un pasivo ambiental importante, siendo acumuladores de agua que atraen infecciones como el dengue y a su vez tienen altos tiempos de degradación que los convierte en un material potencialmente inflamable. Sin embargo, con el correcto tratamiento del caucho que contiene y su trituración en diversos tamaños, se consiguen múltiples aplicaciones como elementos de demarcación vial, pisos de anti-trauma y de seguridad, accesorios para ejercitar, relleno de césped artificial, entre otros. El de mayor proyección en el último tiempo, es la incorporación del caucho en polvo de neumático fuera de uso (NFU) como modificador de mezclas asfálticas aumentando las propiedades de carpetas de rodamiento convencional, obteniendo un material con un desempeño acorde a las exigencias de las altas demandas de tránsito. Con la incorporación del NFU se retira del medioam-biente dicho desecho, dándole una segunda vida útil como modificador del asfalto y reduciendo la huella de carbono. Para satisfacer la demanda de NFU se debe proponer la implementación de un sistema de recolección de neumáticos que involucre municipalidades, agrupaciones sociales y otras entidades para proveer el material a las empresas productoras de polvo de NFU.
Muddling from the middle out: Multi-scalar governance for place-based and adaptive sustainability in Texas
Authors: Richter Steven M. , Petersen-Perlman Jacob D. , Lieberknecht Katherine
Published: August 2024

Given the eclectic and localized nature of environmental risks, planning for sustainability requires solutions that integrate local knowledge and systems while acknowledging the need for continuous re-evaluation. Social-ecological complexity, increasing climate volatility and uncertainty, and rapid technological innovation underscore the need for flexible and adaptive planning. Thus, rules should not be universally applied but should instead be place-based and adaptive. To demonstrate these key concepts, we present a case study of water planning in Texas, whose rapid growth and extreme weather make it a bellwether example. We review historic use and compare the 2002, 2007, 2012, 2017 and 2022 Texas State Water Plans to examine how planning outcomes evolve across time and space. Though imperfect, water planning in Texas is a concrete example of place-based and adaptive sustainability. Urban regions throughout the state exhibit a diversity of strategies that, through the repeated 5-year cycles, are ever responding to evolving trends and emerging technologies. Regional planning institutions play a crucial role, constituting an important soft infrastructure that links state capacity and processes with local agents. As opposed to “top-down” or “bottom-up”, we frame this governance as “middle-out” and discuss how such a structure might extend beyond the water sector.

Authors: Silva Luiz Carlos da , Almeida Lobo Francisco de
Published: August 2024

Objective: In this work we evaluate the phosphorus fertilization without burning on the biomass productivity and the reduction of carbon loss from the pasture of Brachiaria brizantha in the Brazilian Amazon.
 
Theoretical Framework: Brachiaria brizantha is the main cultivated pasture species in Brazil. The overgrazing and no nutrient replenishment in addition to the periodical burnings are the trigger factors of a gradual degradation since the 70’s in the Amazon. That fact suggests the need for research solutions to eliminate the use of this practice for pasture management.
 
Method: A field experiment was carried out from September to November 2015 in a completely randomized blocks design. The treatments consisted of unburned pasture treated with 0, 25, 100 and 200 kg ha-1 of phosphorus compared to the pasture burning, with 4 blocks and 20 experimental plots. The experimental plots treated with phosphorus received agronomic doses of potassium and nitrogen applied on the soil surface. After applying the treatments, including the burning, the pasture was desiccated in order to homogenize the plant emergence and growth after the period without rain from July to September.
 
Results and Discussion: The soil fertility attributes, components of biomass productivity, partial carbon stocks and the partial carbon retained in the pasture (not lost as carbon dioxide) were quantified at 56 days after the beggining of the experimental period. In comparison to the pasture burning, the treatments alter the soil phosphorus availability and, as a result, increase the partial biomass productivity and its carbon content, reducing the loss of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
 
Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed, providing insights into how the results can be applied or influence practices in the field of pasture management without fire using. These implications could encompass on how to apply and how much of an alternative phosphate must be applied to the soil in order to supply phosphorus for B. brizantha instead of using fire as a strategy of pasture management.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by highlighting the superiority of phosphorus application from alternative source allied to N and K fertilization compared to the pasture burning practice in the Southwestern Amazon. This innovative approach can be used as a base for new researches and applied in the level of cattle farmers.

Published: August 2024

Purpose: Water is an important fundamental resource to support human, animal and plant life. Global reports highlight widespread contamination of water sources due to various human activities. The high level of anthropogenic activity in the Lake Maninjau area, both in agriculture, animal husbandry and settlements, has an impact on decreasing the quality of the lake as indicated by the quality of the sediment and lake water. The research aims to evaluate heavy metal concentrations in sediments and heavy metal processing strategies.
 
Theoretical Framework:  Lake Maninjau is one of the lakes in Indonesia that experiences pollution. Recently, this lake has become one of the priority lakes to reduce high levels of pollution (Ministry of the Environment, 2011). The source of Lake Maninjau pollution comes from floating net cages, agriculture, settlements and livestock. This is shown by the accumulation of heavy metals in waters and sediments which is important information for the survival of fish, humans, plants, microorganisms and other aquatic ecosystems (Wibowo et al. , 2022a).
 
Method: The five distinct sample locations were chosen to represent various activities within the Maninjau Lake region, as outlined in Figure 1 and Table 1. Sediment was taken at the surface at a depth of 0-10 cm. samples were processed and analyzed at the P3IN soil science laboratory, Andalas University, as well as assessing sediment quality through Geoaccumulation (Igeo), enrichment factor (EF), pollutant load index (PLI), contamination factor (CF), and potential ecological risk (PER) in five location of Lake Maninjau.
 
Results and Discussion: The results of the research showed that Cu concentrations varied from 0.195 mg/kg to 0.290 mg/kg, with a moderate average of 0.246 mg/kg. Pb metal ranges between 0.325 mg/kg-0.412 mg/kg, with an average of 0.356 mg/kg. Cd metal 0.301 mg/kg- 0.365 mg/kg. The Igeo values for the metals Cr, Cd, Pb, and Cu at the five locations show Igeo < 0, meaning they are not contaminated with heavy metals. The Potential Ecological Risk Index (PER) ranges from 14.8303-19.0094, which shows the low potential ecological risk related to heavy metal pollution
 
Research Implications: It is hoped that this research can help stakeholders in managing the Maninjau Lake ecosystem against potential heavy metal contamination that threatens the lake ecosystem
 
Originality/Value: The use of combination or hybrid technologies to treat heavy metals from wastewater is an effective solution, but it is important to carefully consider and mitigate potential negative impacts on the environment and human health.

Published: August 2024

Objective: The objective of the research was to analyze the management of complaints, claims and suggestions regarding the service provided in lodging establishments in Sullana, Peru.
 
Theoretical reference: A complaint arises from the client and involves a state of dissatisfaction caused by a failure in the service provided. Managing complaints, claims and suggestions that arise in a lodging establishment is a key aspect when it comes to providing better service, since the focus should be on the client and on satisfying each of his needs.
 
Method: The methodology is a basic, non-experimental, descriptive and cross-sectional design, with a non-probabilistic sampling by convenience and intentional, the sample was made up of 11 lodging establishments in the district of Sullana, which responded to items with a Likert scale.
 
Results and conclusion: The results indicate that the complaints, claims and suggestions come from the service provided in the established time considering that the clients will make the claim orally to the waiters in the case of food service and if it is for the rooms they will resort to the receptionists, the registration of claims does not happen in all cases, on the other hand, there are clients who prefer not to present the claim to the personnel, and tend to transmit it to other people generating negative comments that affect the image of the establishment.
 
Research implications: The study invites us to rethink whether or not to ignore an incident. An important fact is to accompany the solution with some kind of compensation; it can have a valuable effect on the customer, turning him from a dissatisfied customer into a loyal customer. However, the absence of complaints does not always indicate full satisfaction.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature on the management of complaints and claims for the improvement of service in lodging establishments, which will make it possible to anticipate future incidents.

Published: August 2024

Object: determine the relationship between sexual tourism and informality in women between 18 and 30 years old in a district of San Martín. It allowed us to know the economic situation and obtain a record of data on women's informality in order to reduce the gaps that exist with poverty, improve opportunities through scholarships and municipal programs and little by little make society recognize this activity as any other, without discriminating against whoever exercises it.
 
Theoretical framework: focuses on two topics that may be worrying because they talk about sexual tourism and the informality of the work carried out by women, preferably, with the purpose, topics that are apparently critical; However, they are realities that occur in many places, one of them being in the San Martín region, where these people put their health at risk due to contagion and diseases to which they are exposed.
 
Method: basic research, non-experimental - correlational. The population and sample consisted of 50 women who are dedicated to providing sexual services. The technique was the survey and the instrument was the questionnaire.
 
Results and conclusions: the level of sexual tourism dimensions: work condition, high at 60%; type of work, medium at 62% and personal fulfillment, high at 80%. The level of informality dimensions: taxes, medium at 70%; social protection, medium at 86% and labor regulations, medium at 54%. It was concluded that there is a very low, but non-significant positive relationship between sexual tourism and informality in women between 18 and 30 years old in a district of San Martín, with a Spearman's Rho coefficient of 0.037 and p-value of 0.79; also only 1.4% variability.
 
Implications of the research: proposed to resolve the issue of informality, the dangers that the lifestyle they have and the control of sexually transmitted diseases entail; also provide solutions that try to eradicate the violence that in some cases sex workers experience, labor exploitation, human trafficking and, if possible, try to locate these people in a strategic place where they can carry out this work, with the purpose to control this activity.

Published: August 2024

Objective: This research aims to examine the Green Space policy in Bandar Lampung City from a sustainable development perspective. This study focuses on the direction of national policy which is changing from a sustainable development orientation towards investment and how city government policies support sustainable development.
 
Theoretical Framework: This research is based on the theory of Public Policy, Sustainable Development, and the Concept of Green Space. These theories and concepts provide a basis for understanding the research context, including public policy models and sustainable development principles.
 
Method : This study uses a normative juridical method with a statutory and conceptual approach. The data used in normative juridical research is secondary data, including primary legal materials from statutory regulations and secondary legal materials such as books and scientific journals related to the object of study. The data analysis was carried out descriptively and qualitatively.
 
Results and Discussion: The research results show that Green Space policy at the national level has shifted from a focus on sustainable development towards investment, which can reduce the effectiveness of fulfilling open spaces. In Bandar Lampung, existing local policies have not been able to support sustainable development efforts. This can be seen from the failure to fulfill the minimum threshold for the percentage of Green Space and policy inconsistencies that can be seen from changes in regional regulations to respond to investment but not in accordance with sustainable development goals.
 
Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this study show that there is a need for policy reformulation that is more balanced between investment and sustainability. This research provides insight for policy makers to consider the long-term impact of Green Space policies on the environment and community welfare.
 
Originality/Value: This research contributes to the literature with an innovative approach to evaluating Green Space policies from a sustainable development perspective. Its potential impact on improving environmental policy in Indonesia shows its value and relevance.
