Les figures historiques du XVIIe et du XVIIIe siècles dans le théâtre français contemporain
Authors: Ντανάση Μαρία
Published: September 2021

Η διδακτορική διατριβή στηρίζεται σε δύο θεατρικά του γαλλικού ρεπερτορίου του 20ου αιώνα, του Ζαν-Κλωντ Μπρισβίλ και του Μπερνάρ Ντα Κόστα. Οι δύο σύγχρονοι συγγραφείς ξαναζωντανεύουν την αντιπαράθεση σημαντικών προσωπικοτήτων που υπήρξαν « επαναστάτες » του πνεύματος για το 17ο αιώνα, Ντεκάρτ-Πασκάλ, και για το 18ο, Φρειδερίκος-Βολταίρος. Η μέθοδος έρευνας της μελέτης μας είναι η διαλεκτική μέθοδος του Λουσιέν Γκολντμάν, δηλαδή ο γενετικός δομισμός, τον οποίο χρησιμοποιούμε για να αναλύσουμε αρχικά αυτές τις χαρισματικές προσωπικότητες του 17ου και του 18ου αιώνα και στη συνέχεια για να μελετήσουμε τους συγγραφείς του 20ου αιώνα. Μελετούμε τη ζωή-τη στάση και τη νοοτροπία του κάθε ήρωα, πάντα σύμφωνα με τη γκολντμανική θεωρία πάνω στην οποία η προσέγγιση μας στηρίζεται. Υπάρχει επίσης μία περίληψη του κάθε θεατρικού έργου για να εξετάσουμε κάθε διάλογο ή πιο σωστά κάθε αντιπαράθεση μεταξύ των δύο ιστορικών φυσιογνωμιών, πηγή έμπνευσης για τους δύο σύγχρονους συγγραφείς. Αυτά τα δύο θεατρικά εκπέμπουν λοιπόν τις απόψεις των δύο φιλοσόφων της κλασικής εποχής κι έπειτα αυτή του Διαφωτισμού, μέσα από την αντιπαράθεση μεταξύ των δύο προσώπων του κάθε θεατρικού, όσον αφορά όχι μόνο το τρόπο ζωής αλλά και το τρόπο σκέψης και συμπεριφοράς τους. Συνεπώς, αντιμετωπίζουμε κοινά σημεία αλλά και διαφορετικά που μας υποχρεώνουν να εμβαθύνουμε στα έργα. Υπό αυτές τις συνθήκες ο γενετικός δομισμός στηρίζεται επίσης πάνω στις βιογραφικές πληροφορίες, γεγονός που υπογραμμίζεται από τον ίδιο τον Γκόλντμαν, για να διαφωτίσει ο συγγραφέας-ιστορικός όλες τις πλευρές που αυτός αναλύει ασχέτως του αντικειμένου του. Η ανάλυση της αντιπαράθεσης των δύο σημαντικών πνευμάτων, μας βοηθά να εμβαθύνουμε σε φιλοσοφικές ιδέες, πολιτικές και κοινωνικές οι οποίες αντιπροσωπεύουν όχι μόνο την εποχή τους αλλά επίσης κι αυτή του 20ου αιώνα. Σύμφωνα με το γενετικό δομισμό, φτάνουμε να ανακαλύψουμε τη θεώρηση του κόσμου, πιο συγκεκριμένα τη τραγική θεώρηση την οποία και οι δύο συγγραφείς υιοθετούν στα έργα τους, μέσα από τους ήρωες τους.

Η κινηματογραφική εκπαίδευση στην Ελλάδα
Authors: Δενδραμής Παναγιώτης
Published: September 2021

Η παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή ασχολείται με τη διερεύνηση της εκπαίδευσης που έλαβαν οι επαγγελματίες του κινηματογράφου στην Ελλάδα, από την εμφάνιση του στη χώρα, στα τέλη του 19ου αιώνα, έως τις αρχές της δεκαετίας του 1990. Η συγκριμένη θεματική έχει αποτελέσει ένα εν πολλοίς παραγνωρισμένο αντικείμενο μελέτης, παρά την ανάπτυξη που έχει γνωρίσει η ακαδημαϊκή έρευνα γύρω από τον ελληνικό κινηματογράφο τα τελευταία χρόνια. Βασική αιτία για αυτό αποτελεί η ιδιομορφία της. Η Ελλάδα παρουσιάζει μια μοναδική ιδιαιτερότητα συγκριτικά με το διεθνές, και δη το ευρωπαϊκό γίγνεσθαι. Στη συντριπτική τους πλειοψηφία οι χώρες της γηραιάς ηπείρου δημιούργησαν σχολές κινηματογράφου υπό την αιγίδα του κράτους κάποια στιγμή κατά τη διάρκεια του 20ου αιώνα. Αντίθετα, κατά την ίδια περίοδο δεν εκδηλώθηκε κάποια αντίστοιχη πρωτοβουλία εκ μέρους της ελληνικής πολιτείας. Το κενό που άφηνε η απουσία σχετικής κρατικής μέριμνας, ήρθε να καλύψει η ιδιωτική πρωτοβουλία. Έτσι η παρεχόμενη εκπαίδευση στον κινηματογράφο και τα οπτικοακουστικά μέσα συνδέθηκε για πολλά χρόνια με τις ιδιωτικές σχολές κινηματογράφου. Η έρευνα επιχειρεί να εντοπίσει και να παρουσιάσει αυτές τις σχολές· τον ακριβή αριθμό τους, τη δομή και το πρόγραμμα σπουδών τους. Ασχολείται με τους ανθρώπους που τις δημιούργησαν καθώς και εκείνους που δίδαξαν σε αυτές και διερευνά τη σχέση τους με τον κινηματογράφο. Μελετά ακόμη τους όρους και τις συνθήκες υπό τις οποίες ξεκίνησαν και σταμάτησαν τη λειτουργία τους. Διερευνά διεξοδικά το θεσμικό πλαίσιο που διαμορφώθηκε γύρω από την κινηματογραφική εκπαίδευση στην Ελλάδα, καθόλη τη διάρκεια της εν λόγω περιόδου. Αποπειράται επιπλέον να διαπιστώσει εάν η ύπαρξη και η δράση τους επηρέασαν και σε ποιο βαθμό την ελληνική κινηματογραφία. Η διατριβή συντίθεται επιπρόσθετα από μια πολυεπίπεδη έρευνα στον χρόνο και σε γεωγραφική έκταση, θέτοντας το ελληνικό παράδειγμα στο ευρύτερο ευρωπαϊκό και βορειοαμερικάνικο πλαίσιο, προκειμένου να αναδειχτούν οι ιδιαιτερότητές του και οι λόγοι που τις προκάλεσαν. Η δυσχέρεια εντοπισμού ερευνητικά αξιοποιήσιμων πληροφοριών και η ανάγκη για την έγκυρη διασταύρωσή τους οδήγησαν την έρευνα σε έναν συνδυασμό πηγών, ο οποίος συμπεριέλαβε την υπάρχουσα διεθνή και ελληνική βιβλιογραφία, προφορικές μαρτυρίες, οπτικοακουστικό υλικό, καθώς και αρχειακά έγγραφα, δημόσια και ιδιωτικά, τα οποία συγκεντρώθηκαν και χρησιμοποιήθηκαν για πρώτη φορά ως αντικείμενα μελέτης. Ο δημιουργικός συγκερασμός των παραπάνω, αποτελεί ένα χρήσιμο παράδειγμα ως προς τη μεθοδολογία που θα επιθυμούσαν να υιοθετήσουν ερευνητικές προσπάθειες με παρόμοιο προσανατολισμό και περιεχόμενο. Ο διεπιστημονικός χαρακτήρας του ερευνώμενου αντικειμένου, το οποίο άπτεται των κινηματογραφικών σπουδών, της ιστορίας της τέχνης αλλά και της εκπαίδευσης, συνηγορεί υπέρ της χρησιμοποίησης μιας αντίστοιχα ευρείας γκάμας πηγών και αναφορών.
Enhancing innovative delivery in schools using design thinking
Authors: Gopinathan Sharmini , Kaur Anisha Haveena , Ramasamy Kanesaraj , Raman Murali
Published: September 2021

The pandemic has created challenges in all sectors of the economy and education. Traditional teaching approaches seem futile in the new context, thus the need to constantly reinvent the delivery to meet the fast-paced changes in the education domain. Hence, Design Thinking (DT) is an alternative approach that might be useful in the given context. DT is known to be a human-centric approach to innovative problem-solving processes. DT could be employed in the delivery process to develop twenty-first-century skills and enhance creativity and innovation, in an attempt to identify alternative solutions. The study explores the role of design thinking (DT) mindset in innovative delivery among teachers. It enhances and facilitates innovative content delivery by leveraging creativity. The study targeted 131 teachers from primary and secondary schools in Malaysia. Data was collected through an online survey and was analyzed using SmartPLS to establish relationships between DT and Innovative Delivery in schools. The data was further analyzed to seek co-relations between the DT steps and the successful transformation of content delivery by teachers. The study established a framework for the application of design thinking for teachers as the primary support in developing activities for their students. The outcome of this study will help fill the gap towards creating an interesting method of delivery in schools and constantly innovating the method to suit the evolving generation. It provides an in-depth reason as to why students are not interested in the teacher's lessons which, in turn, affects their performance. This insight is crucial for the Ministry of Education and policymakers to enhance teachers’ ability to innovatively deliver content to students.
Lightning safety awareness level in Malaysia
Authors: Nazri Khairul , Lim Siow Chun , Gomes Chandima
Published: September 2021

Introduction: Malaysia is one of the countries with the highest lightning flash density globally. While sufficiency of lightning protection system is crucial to ensure human safety against lightning strikes, the public awareness towards lightning safety is also equally important in Malaysia. Hence, this study was conducted to understand the current lightning safety awareness level of the Malaysian population.

Methods: An online questionnaire survey which consists of 22 scientific statements of lightning was first developed in Malay and English. The questionnaire allows the respondent to also check their own score upon completion of the questionnaire. It was then distributed to the public for data collection. The sample size comprised of both genders, all layers of society from various educational level and social background.

Results: Overall, the awareness on lightning safety amongst Malaysian is at moderate level with an average score of slightly above 50%. Urbanites scored marginally better than their rural counterparts. One’s education level does not dictate their awareness level of lightning safety.

Discussion: In conclusion, the public in Malaysia needs to be better educated on lightning safety. Similar studies should be replicated in other countries experiencing similar levels of lightning activity to better understand the public’s perception on lightning.
A micro credential for interoperability
Authors: Hussey Pamela , Das Subhashis
Published: September 2021

In the midst of a global pandemic the need for health and social care providers to commit to, and deliver on, integrated patient-centered care services has been accelerated. Globally, health and social care programme administrators are turning to digital devices and applications to provide supporting infrastructure which can offer safe access to health information at the point of care. Digitalisation is increasingly considered a key requirement to support diagnostics and therapeutic care services in health care delivery. The open source community are responding to this need to advance integrated care and digital services by providing targeted resources to address the interoperability challenge. Addressing interoperability in health systems is a core part of achieving sustainable enterprise wide integrated care. Using Open Innovation 2.0 methods for advancing knowledge on interoperability, this paper describes the development of a micro credential for knowledge transfer on interoperability created by the Centre for eIntegrated Care (CeIC). Designed and developed to signpost interested stakeholders to targeted material and build understanding and capacity on the topic. The design approach and initial resource content are explained through the lens of a specific research project funded by an Elite S Fellowship to advance leadership and standardisation for Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in Europe.

Although the question of whether women and men speak differently is a topic of hot debate, an overview of the extent towhich empirical studies provide robust support for a relationship between sex/gender and language is lacking. Therefore, the aim of the current scoping review is to synthesize recent studies from various theoretical perspectives on the relationship between sex/gender and language use in spoken face-to-face dyadic interactions. Fifteen empirical studies were systematically selected for review, and were discussed according to four different theoretical perspectives and associated methodologies. More than thirty relevant linguistic variables were identified (e.g., interruptions and intensifiers). Overall, few robust differences between women and men in the use of linguistic variables were observed across contexts, although women seem to be more engaged in supportive turn-taking than men. Importantly, gender identity salience, institutionalized roles, and social and contextual factors such as interactional setting or conversational goal seem to play a key role in the relationship between speaker’s sex/gender and language used in spoken interaction.
Self-Presentation in Social Media: Review and Research Opportunities
Authors: Erin E. Hollenbaugh ,   Kent State University, USA
Published: September 2021

This paper reviews existing research on self-presentation in social media in order to inform future research. Social media offer seemingly limitless opportunities for strategic self-presentation. Informed by existing self-presentation theories, a review of research on self-presentation in social media revealed three significant context and audience variables that were conceptualized in a model. First, three affordances of social media – anonymity, persistence, and visibility – were discussed, as research has revealed the moderating effects of these affordances between self-presentation goal and the self-presentational content shared in social media. For example, one might expect that social media users are more likely to present their actual selves under conditions of less anonymity, more persistence, and more visibility. On the other hand, the freedom associated with more anonymous, less persistent, and less visibility social media may lead to idealized self-presentation. The second finding revealed the impact of other-generated content in the form of likes, comments, tags, and shares on social media users’ self-presentation content, mediated by how they choose to manage such content.The third theme concerned the moderating effect of context collapse on the relationship between goals and self-presentation content. The composition of an impression manager’s audience from one platform to the next varies across social media platforms, impacting and often complicating the attainment of self-presentation goals in the midst of merging networks of people. Social media users have adopted varying ways to navigate the complexities of context collapse in their pursuit of self-presentation. Although we have learned much from this body of literature, a more comprehensive theory of self-presentation in the hypermedia age is needed to further advance this area of research.
Thinking and Feeling through Mobile Media and Communication: A Review of Cognitive and Affective Implications
Authors: Ross Morgan Quinn ,   The Ohio State University, Campbell Scott W. ,   University of Michigan, USA
Published: September 2021

In recent decades, mobile media and communication have become integral to human psychology, including how people think and feel. Although the popular press, parents, and educators often voice concerns about the integration of mobile media into everyday life (e.g., “smartphone addiction”), the growing body of scholarship in this area offers a mix of positive, negative, and conditional effects of mobile media use. This review article traverses this variegated scholarship by assembling cognitive and affective implications of mobile media and communication. It identifies information processing, offloading, spatial cognition, habit, attention, and phantom vibrations as cognitive themes, and feelings of pleasure, stress/anxiety, safety/security, connectedness, and control as affective themes. Along the way, it helps bring structure to this growing and interdisciplinary area of scholarship, ground psychological work on mobile media in theorizing on technological embedding, inform academic and public debates, and identify opportunities for future research.
Politicians, Parties, and Government Representatives on Instagram: A Review on Research Approaches, Usage Patterns, and Effects
Authors: Bast Jennifer ,   University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany
Published: September 2021

The photo and video sharing social network Instagram attracts an impressive number of users, among them political actors such as politicians, parties, and members of the government. Instagram's focus on images, which can be accompanied by lengthy captions as well as a range of other communication tools, suggests that the platform has high potential for political communication. Therefore, it is no surprise that Instagram has attracted the interest of scholars of various research areas. This article provides a systematic review of 37 studies on Instagram usage by politicians, parties, and governments. The aim is to gather substantiated knowledge while identifying research gaps. To this end, the review focuses on three key areas of Instagram research: who uses Instagram, how do they use it, and with what effect? Methodological approaches, databases, and applied theories are included to provide a comprehensive overview of research on Instagram. Based on the findings, points of departure for future research are identified.
Metáforas, racialização e referenciação: os processos de construção do personagem Francisco Simões Alpedrinha em A Filha do Doutor Negro, de Camilo Castelo Branco
Authors: Dos Santos Lourenço Amanda Regina
Published: September 2021

Dentre a vasta produção literária do escritor português Camilo Castelo Branco, destaca-se para esta investigação o romance A Filha do Doutor Negro (1864), um dos poucos romances camilianos com personagens negros na trama central. Tal fato merece certa atenção em virtude do contexto de publicação da obra: o século XIX, período no qual as tensões raciais ainda eram pulsantes no território português. Diante disso, é interessante observar como a temática racial incidiu sobre o corpus deste trabalho. Para isso, este artigo pretende analisar o modo como o personagem Francisco Simões Alpedrinha é construído ao longo do romance, tendo em vista os processos de racialização, metáforas e referenciação.
Aplicações da Teoria Dramatúrgica de Goffman para a Análise Multimodal
Authors: Nunes Fernando Fidelix
Published: September 2021

Este trabalho objetiva discutir de que maneira a teoria dramatúrgica de Goffman (2014[1959]) pode ser aplicada na análise de textos multimodais (KRESS e Van LEEUWEN, 2001, 2006; Van LEEUWEN, 1999, 2005, 2011). Após apresentar os fundamentos da representação na teoria de Goffman e dos pressupostos para a análise de textos na perspectiva multimodal, partirei para a análise do videoclipe da música Fearless, da cantora Taylor Swift, dando destaque para como a representação da artista por meio da realização dramática, da manutenção do controle expressivo, da idealização e da mistificação possibilita o enriquecimento de categorias da análise multimodal de textos, como as da gramática visual, para uma compreensão mais ampla da interação social.

Abstract. Saensouk S, Boonma T, Saensouk P. 2021. A new species and a new record of Curcuma subgen. Curcuma (Zingiberaceae) from Northern Thailand. Biodiversitas 22: 3617-3626. Recent fieldwork to study the species diversity of the Zingiberaceae family in Thailand and preparing a revision of the Curcuma genus for the Flora of Thailand, an undescribed species of Curcuma uses as traditional medicinal for more than two decades well known in the Thai vernacular name “Rang-Jued” was found, this vernacular name is also used to call the other two medicinal plants belonging to different families which are Thunbergia laurifolia Lindl. (Acanthaceae), and Crotalaria spectabilis Roth (Fabaceae), thus some villagers are named Curcuma rangjued as “Rang-Jued-Khamin” to communicate specifically identify species in order to use correct species for each utilization. While Thunbergia laurifolia was called "Rang-Jued-Thao", which "Thao" means "vine" refers to its habit and Crotalaria spectabilis was called "Rang-Jued-Ton" which "Ton" means "stem" refers to its erect stems. After comparing this undescribed species of Curcuma with its allies species, we found that this species did not match with any existing taxa, thus described with detailed illustrations, photographs, summaries for its distribution, ecology in the name of Curcuma rangjued Saensouk & Boonma and followed by a new record of C. cordata Wall. for Thailand which in the past has been determined as a synonym of C. petiolata Roxb. but now it is back to a recognized name once again. Both species in this study were found distributed in the northern region of Thailand and belong to Curcuma subgenus Curcuma, their description along with ecology, phenology, and a revised key to 28 species of Curcuma subgenus Curcuma in Thailand are also present for facilitating identification.

Abstract. Hidayat R, Zainuddin M, Mallawa A, Mustapha MA, Putri ARS. 2021. Mapping spatial-temporal skipjack tuna habitat as a reference for Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) settings in Makassar Strait, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 3637-3647. Skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) has a high economic value in the international market. Catching skipjack tuna using fish aggregating devices (FADs) without knowing its habitat characteristics can damage the ecosystem. This study aimed to determine suitable fishing areas for setting skipjack’s FADs. The data used included that on catch, sea surface temperature (SST), and sea surface chlorophyll-a (SSC) in the Makassar Strait obtained for 2017-2019. The generalized additive model (GAM) and empirical cumulative distribution function (ECDF) analyses were used to investigate the skipjack’s tuna habitat. A pelagic habitat index (PHI), with PHI > 75%, was applied to determine suitable FAD positions. The gravity center of the skipjack tuna habitat for ten months (January-October 2020) was calculated to validate the model’s results. The results showed that the optimum SST range was from 28.78°C to 31.25°C, while the SSC from 0.18 to 0.28 mg m-3. The best skipjack habitats in the southern Makassar Strait are criterion 4 (PHI > 90%) and criterion 3 (PHI = 85-90%), having a relatively high consistency of the average PHI values. These results can help determine the optimal positions for setting FADs to benefit the global management and sustainable development of skipjack tuna fisheries.

A comparison of the milk yield and morphometrics of Irtysh type Simmental cows and their Holstein and Simmental crosses in East Kazakhstan. Biodiversitas 22: 3663-3670. Cattle breeding is still a significant part of agriculture manufacture both in milk and beef production. Dairy manufacture needs more and more modifications to increase milk productivity and produce milk with better nutrition properties. The authors present a comparison of the dairy cattle of the Simmental breed (Kazakhstan Irtysh type) and its cross-breeds with red-piebald Holstein and Simmental breeds. All the animals' breeds were studied at the time of the first lactation period in cows at the “Kamyshinskoye” farm, Shemonaikha District, East Kazakhstan region. We studied the milk productivity, exterior parameters, and reproductive indicators for the control animal group (Simmental breed Irtysh type) and the crosses (cross-breeds) of the red-piebald Holstein when collecting the research results and Irtysh type and Simmental and Irtysh type. All data obtained in this study have been fully compared with the indicators of the first lactation period of Simmental cows of the Irtysh type. As a result of the study, authors have created the curve of the 305-day lactation period, studied the exterior of the animals, the morphological structures of the udder, and the annual capacity cycles of the tested cows' group. The milk yield obtained in the first complete lactation period from the red-piebald Holstein cross-animals was 240 kg or 4.2% more than the control mother group, but the average milk fat percentage has been 0.09% less. On the contrary, the cross of the Irtysh and Simmental breed has a yield less by 258 kg or 4.7% (5277 kg), but a fat milk percentage has been 0.1% more.

Abstract. Soemarwoto R, Iskandar J. 2021. Plant knowledge richness in the Sundanese upland village: A case study in Sindangsari, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 3722-3735. According to ecological history, Sundanese people of West Java, Indonesia, have highly rich knowledge of plants. However, due to population increase, rapid development of market economy, and rapid change of rural ecosystem, the local plants knowledge has tended to decrease rapidly. This research’s objective is to elucidate the plant knowledge richness of the Sundanese. The study was undertaken in the upland village of Sindangsari, West Java, using mixed-method with ethnobotanical approach, from July to August 2017, and March 2018. The study found 204 landraces which consisted of 181 species, representing 161 genera, and 70 families. The use of plants could be classified into food, spices, medicine, construction, ornament, cosmetic, commercial plants, fodder, industry, food color, erosion control, and social function. The highest secondary citations, that is plants for food and medicine, were known by less than 50% of respondents; other plants were hardly known, recognized only by 0.1% to 0.5% of respondents. The results showed little practical knowledge among the younger generation. The intensive mobility of young population between the village and the city induces intergenerational transfer of knowledge between old and young generations mainly through oral narratives. This study concludes that it is important to consider population mobility of the young generation to predict knowledge loss.

Abstract. Nugroho Y, Supandi, Suyanto, Matatula J, Wirabuana PYAP. 2021. Influence of understorey diversity on wildlife at the coal mining reclamation area in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 3736-3743. The existence of understorey at the coal mining reclamation area provides an important contribution to improve the environmental quality, especially the wildlife presence. Therefore, this study aims to determine the influence of understorey diversity on the wildlife at the coal mining reclamation area managed by the PT Borneo Indobara, South Kalimantan. This study used an ecological survey conducted in three reclamation areas classified based on the dominant species supporting the process, namely Paraserianthes falcataria (L-1), Anthocephalus cadamba (L-2), and a mixture of both species (L-3). The data were collected in two observation periods, namely August 2019 and August 2020. The results showed that at the first observation, ten families of understorey were observed from the survey and the highest diversity was recorded in L-2 (H'=1.71), followed by L-1 (H'=1.54), and L-3 (H'=1.27). Meanwhile, the wildlife in the first periods was only 6 species consisting of 3 birds, 2 reptiles, and 1 mammal. The number of species from every site was relatively equal at the first observation. In the second observation, the diversity of understorey considerably increased with approximately 22 families from the inventory. The highest understorey diversity in this observation was recorded in L-1 (H'=3.30), L-2 (H'=3.05), and L-3 (H'=3.04). Also, the higher understorey diversity was followed by the higher wildlife with 29 species, which consists of 26 birds, 2 reptiles, and 1 mammal. The highest appearance of bird species was in the L-1 with approximately 19 species, while the number of birds in L-2 and L-3 was relatively similar with approximately 15 species. Based on these results, the understorey diversity significantly contributes to improving the wildlife diversity at the coal mining reclamation area, primarily from the bird species.

Abstract. Dimara PA, Purwanto RH, Sunarta S, Wardhana W. 2021. The spatial distribution of sago palm landscape Sentani watershed in Jayapura District, Papua Province, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 3811-3820. Sago palm is one of the starch sources used as local food in Papua, therefore this research aims to identify the supporting environment for the plant to grow by utilizing spatial data. The methods used were Spatial Analysis and Field Survey, where the first employed satellite imagery of Quickbird in 2012 and Landsat 8 in 2020 to distinguish between sago and non-sago palm landscape. In the process, five parameters were used, consisting of covering land elevation, slope gradient, soil type, rainfall as well as the optimal distance from the river and lake. The result showed the sago palm landscape in Sentani Watershed lies in the elevation of 0-450 m asl, while its largest habitat which lies between 0-100 m asl covering an area of 4,385.63 is found in a flat slope covering an area of 2,941.99 ha and in a very steep slope that spreads out over 41.92 ha. Generally, in Sentani Watershed, the plant grows in Mediterranean soil possessing thick solum with pH 5.0-7.0 and medium to great soil erodibility. Moreover, the largest habitat experiences a precipitation rate of 1,750 mm yr-1 covering a total of 6,846.24 ha, while the Doyo River has the largest sago palm landscape compared to other rivers.

Abstract. Rosmaina, Elfianis R, Almaksur A, Zulfahmi. 2021. Minimal number of morphoagronomic characters required for the identification of pineapple (Ananas comosus) cultivars in peatlands of Riau, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 3854-3862. Pineapple (Ananas comosus L Merr)  is a tropical fruit that has high economic value. In Riau Province, Indonesia, pineapples grow and produce well on various types of land, including the highly acidic peatland. There are many types of pineapples grown by  from generation to generation, but so far, there have been no reports regarding the diversity of pineapples in peatlands. This study aimed to determine the minimal number of characters distinguishing pineapple morphological and agronomic characters in peatlands. The observations were done on 24 local genotypes of pineapple in peatlands. Characterization were carried out on 49 morphological and agronomic characters according to the Pineapple descriptor from the International Board for Plant Genetic Resources (IBPGRI). The data were analyzed by Multivariate Analysis, in which the principal components analysis was used for qualitative and quantitative traits. Based on the results of this study, there were at least 12 characters proposed to describe pineapple in peatlands, viz. seven qualitative characters (fruit base leaf color (collar), fruit shape, bractea color, fruit eye profile, fruit eye surface, flesh color, crown attachment to fruit) and five quantitative characters (fruit weight, fruit flesh weight, plant height, number of leaves and leaf length). Out of the 49 traits observed,  12 selected characters can be used as a minimal number of characters that can be used to identify pineapple cultivars on peatland. The findings of this research are rewarding for the conservation and management of genetic resources, selection, and breeding activities of pineapple plants.

Abstract. Ayujawi SA, Winarni NL, Pradana DH. 2021. Short Communication: Bird correlations with waste in Muara Gembong, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 3872-3879. The existence of waste in Muara Gembong can potentially affect bird abundance because organic waste can be a source of bird food, while inorganic waste can cause changes in habitat structure. This study aimed to (i) determine bird species that have a high abundance near the trash, and (ii) determine the correlation between waste concentration and the relative abundance of birds. The study was conducted in June 2020 in Pantai Mekar and Muara Blacan areas, Muara Gembong, West Java. Bird observation was carried out using exploration method and the relative abundance of the bird was determined based on encounter rates. The data collection and calculation of waste concentration were carried out following the NOAA protocol. The Spearman correlation test was carried out between the abundance of each bird species and the concentration of waste. Our results suggested that 26 species of birds in Muara Gembong were found near trash and 24 species have negative correlations to inorganic waste. The Javan munia (Lonchura leucogastroides) and Great egret (Egretta alba) were the most abundant species living near the trash with encounter rates of 39.13 and 38.89, respectively. Moreover, the concentration of inorganic waste has a significant negative correlation to the relative abundance of Cerulean kingfisher (Alcedo coerulescens), Spotted dove (Streptopelia chinensis), and Sunda collared dove (Streptopelia bitorquata). Based on these findings, inorganic waste in Muara Gembong can significantly reduce the abundance of birds in the long term because the pile of inorganic waste may cause damage to the mangrove forest, which is a bird habitat.

Abstract. Putri RE, Mubarik NR, Ambarsari L, Wahyudi AT. 2021. Antagonistic activity of glucanolytic bacteria Bacillus subtilis W3.15 against Fusarium oxysporum and its enzyme characterization. Biodiversitas 22: 4067-4077. Biocontrol of Fusarium oxysporum, a phytopathogenic fungus that causes plant wilt can be approached with cell-wall degrading enzymes such as ?-glucanase. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prospective ability in glucanase production from several soil bacterial isolates and to characterize its ?-glucanase activity of ammonium sulfate precipitation, and to determine its antifungal activity against F. oxysporum in vitro. Twenty bacterial isolates were screened qualitatively and quantitatively as ?-glucanase producers. The results showed that the prospective isolate W3.15 can produce ?-glucanase on glucan agar as the selection medium. From 16S rRNA sequences identification, the isolate belongs to the genus Bacillus, closely related to Bacillus subtilis. The enzyme activity of the ammonium sulfate fraction of isolate W3.15 is optimum at a pH of 7 and temperature range of 60-80oC. B. subtilis W3.15 exhibits high inhibition against the mycelial growth of F. oxysporum and significantly reduced fungal biomass.

Abstract. Deanova AK, Pristiawati CM, Aprilia D, Solikah I, Nurcahyati M, Liza N, Partasasmita R, Setyawan AD. 2021. Title. Biodiversitas 22: 4095-4105. Market is one of the most important economic sectors in a country. One type of market is a traditional market that is synonymous with squalid, overcrowded and slum conditions. However, traditional markets provide essential commodities that are relatively cheaper and fresher than modern markets. The purpose of this research was to record the diversity of species and varieties of edible plants traded in Ir. Soekarno Market, a traditional market in Sukoharjo District. Plant commodities observed were vegetables, spices, fruits, and staples sold by the sellers in this market. The method used in this research was qualitative based on the ethnobotany approach. Meanwhile, to collect primary data, several field techniques were used, namely direct observation such as market commodity surveys, trader observations, and trader interviews. The direct survey results showed that the edible plant commodities consisted of 105 plant species representing 28 families. The variations found included 9 types of rice, 4 types of onions, 7 types of bananas, and 9 types of beans. The decline in the number of traded commodities and the lack of visitors was due to the increase in COVID-19 cases in Sukoharjo and disputes between traders and local government. Thus until recently, Ir. Soekarno Market, which was originally the main market full of visitors, became a market that was empty of visitors and traders.

Abstract. Wanda IF, Djuita NR, Chikmawati T. 2021. Molecular phylogenetics of Malesian Diospyros (Ebenaceae) based trnL-F spacer sequences. Biodiversitas 22: 4106-4114. Diospyros is a genus composed of potential species as an economic commodity with high diversity. However, there is limited information on the phylogenetic relationship of this genus in the Malesian region. This study aimed to provide information on the species diversity through a DNA barcoding approach and revealing the phylogenetic information of Diospyros spp. in the Malesian region. This study used 20 Diospyros accessions from Bogor Botanical Garden collections, 40 Diospyros accessions, and four outgroup accessions obtained from the NCBI database. The DNA barcoding primer utilized comes from plastids, trnL-F intergenic spacer. The phylogenetic trees were constructed using the Maximum-Parsimony method. A total of 20 accessions of Diospyros were validated with sequence data on the genebank. The result showed that all accessions had relationships with 44 other Diospyros species globally. Here, we reported 10 new trnL-F intergenic spacer sequences of Malesian Diospyros species. A phylogenetic tree grouped 64 monophyletic Diospyros species into seven clades. The phylogenetic results supports the biogeographic hypothesis: the Malesian region, the Malesian-Caledonian Region, and Cosmopolite species in almost all bioregions.

Abstract. Tahir IA, Lamondo D, Baderan DWK. 2020. Analysis of lead (Pb) levels in water, sediment and mollusks in secondary irrigation channels in Gorontalo Province, Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetl 11: 1-6. This study was conducted in July-August 2020 in the secondary irrigation channels of Gorontalo Province, aimed to determine the lead content in the water, sediment and gastropods in the channels. The sampling points were located in four sub-districts, i.e., North Bulango Sub-district, Sipatana Sub-district, Central City Sub-district and Hulonthalangi Sub-district. The samples were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The data were analyzed qualitatively by comparing them with the contamination thresholds set by the government of Indonesia. The results showed that the levels of lead in water in the four stations were 0.37 mg/L, 1.30 mg/L, 1.69 mg/L and 0.38 mg/L, respectively, in the sediment 1.1268 ppm, 0.9719 ppm, 0.7602 ppm, and 0.5290 ppm, respectively, and in each mollusk species, i.e., Bellamnya sp. 0.2924 mg/kg, Pomacea canaliculata 0.2413 mg/kg and Pomacea canaliculata 0.1873 mg/kg. The lead levels in the water, sediment and gastropods in the study sites exceeded the contamination thresholds set by the Indonesian government.

Abstract. Akoth AJ, Mahiri OS, Obiero K. 2019. Influence of climatic and non-climatic factors on fishing activities in Lake Victoria, Kisumu County, Kenya. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 11: 7-17. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of climatic factors like dry spells, rainfall, and wind strength, as well as non-climatic factors like overfishing, water hyacinth, and predators on fishing activities on the shores of Lake Victoria in Kisumu County. The research used a descriptive survey design. The study area comprised thirty-two beaches, of which eight were chosen to represent Kisumu County as a whole. The eight beaches were sampled using a systematic sampling technique. The data was collected using a sample size of 362 respondents. Fish landing data over the past ten years was collected at the beaches and at the Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KEMFRI), while climate data was received from the Kisumu Airport Regional Meteorological Department. Primary data was collected from the beaches using questionnaires and interviews, whereas secondary data was collected from KEMFRI using document analysis guidance, books, and publications. The results were processed and analyzed with the help of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) application, which assisted in the calculation of frequencies, means, and percentages. The study discovered a linkage between climatic factors and fishing activity. Climatic factors and fishing activities have a substantial relationship, according to the study. The amount of rainfall had an effect on fish captures, albeit the effect differed by fish species; Orechromis (r =.260), Lates niloticus (r =.130), and Protopterus (r =.184) had positive correlations with rainfall, whereas Rastrinoebola argentea and Claras gariepinus had negative correlations. Overall, the findings showed a positive correlation coefficient (r =.079) between rainfall and total fish catch. Fish numbers in the lake have decreased due to a dry season accompanied by high temperatures. Strong wind had a negative impact on fishing activities, whereas mild to moderate wind favored fish catch. Non-climatic factors had a significant detrimental impact on fishing activity in Lake Victoria, according to the study. The researcher came to the following conclusions based on the findings: there was a relationship between climatic elements and fishing activities; non-climatic factors primarily influenced fishing activities negatively; however, fishermen implemented mitigation strategies to help address non-climatic factors. Policymakers should regulate fish harvesting as dictated by climatic and weather variations, assess the impact of non-climatic elements in fish production and recommend appropriate mitigation measures, and finally, regulations should be enhanced to save endangered fish species from extinction, according to the findings.

Abstract. Maulidyna A, Alicia F, Agustin HN, Dewi IR, Nurhidayah I, Dewangga A, Kusumaningrum L, Nugroho GD, Jumari, Setyawan AD. 2019. Review: Economic impacts of the invasive species water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes): Case study of Rawapening Lake, Central Java, Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 11: 18-31. Introduced species is defined as a conscious or unconscious effort to present a species of animal or plant into a new habitat. Introduced species have two pathways on their biogeographical distribution, namely becoming an invasive species or not becoming an invasive species. An introduced species which does not have a negative impact on the new habitat is not classified as an invasive species, while a species that is introduced and does have a negative impact on the new habitat is considered as invasive species. One of the problems that threaten freshwater ecosystems in Indonesia is the invasion of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes). This introduced plant species can reproduce rapidly, both generatively and vegetatively, and form very dense masses in water bodies, such as swamps, lakes, rivers, and channels including in Rawapening Lake in Semarang District, Central Java, Indonesia. This study is aimed to review the economic impacts of the invasive water hyacinth species in Rawapening Lake from two perspectives: the negative and the positive impacts, so that feasible solutions can be developed. There are several negative impacts caused by water hyacinth in Rawapening Lake. The overgrown water hyacinth in the lake hinders the fishermen in maneuvering the boats and fishing gears, reducing the fish catches. The extensive coverage of water hyacinth causes the reduction in soluble oxygen and blocks sunlight into the water, leading to the decline of fish population. The rotten water hyacinth can obstruct the irrigation channels of the fields so that farmers cannot produce maximum rice harvests and eradicating them would incur financial costs. On the other hand, there are also positive impacts of water hyacinth in Rawapening Lake. This plant can be used as raw materials to produce a variety of handicrafts in the form of bags, sandals, baskets, wallets, and furniture such as chairs and tables. Water hyacinth can also be processed in biogas production and organic fertilizers. With careful management, water hyacinth can remediate polluted water caused by heavy metals contamination. In short, economically, the presence of water hyacinth in Rawapening can be both beneficial and detrimental. Proper management of this species is necessary to maintain the sustainability of this aquatic environment. r
