Published: January 2020

Objective: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a nonmalignant enlargement of the prostate associated with aging. BPH can cause lower urinary tract syndrome (LUTS). Medical therapy for patients with moderate and severe LUTS symptoms comprises a-1 adrenergic receptor antagonists. This study aimed to determine whether there are differences in the international prostate symptom score (IPSS) and maximal flow rate (Qmax) of patients with BPH receiving either silodosin or tamsulosin over 12 w.

Methods: This study was a double-blind randomized clinical trial. Subjects were 50 men aged ³ 50 y diagnosed with BPH with an IPSS ³ 8 at the Gatot Soebroto Indonesian Army Hospital. The participants received either silodosin or tamsulosin. Their IPSS and Qmax were assessed at the initial assessment and after 4, 8, and 12 w of treatment.

Results: The initial median IPSS was 15 in the tamsulosin group and 17 in the silodosin group (P = 0.808). After 12 w of therapy, the median IPSS decreased to 9 in the tamsulosin group and 10 in the silodosin group (P = 0.186). The initial median Qmax was 10.1 ml/s in the tamsulosin group and 10.9 ml/s in the silodosin group (P = 0.290). After 12 w of therapy, the median Qmax increased to 12.1 ml/s in the tamsulosin group and 11.9 ml/s in the silodosin group (P = 0.969). Although the differences between groups were not significant, the initial and 12-week IPSS and Qmax values differed significantly within each group.

Conclusion: There were no significant between-group differences in the IPSS or Qmax after 12 w of therapy. However, both silodosin and tamsulosin produced significant differences between initial and 12-week assessments of IPSS and Qmax.

Objective: Pediculus humanus capitis is an ectoparasite that sucks blood from the patient’s scalp. Gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane is an effective treatment but its use has been discontinued because of its neurotoxicity. Although the replacement pediculicide is permethrin, this is not affordable for everyone, and thus the recommended treatment is wet combing. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of permethrin compared with wet combing for eliminating pediculosis.

Methods: This study was a randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted in a boarding school in Bogor District; the data were collected in July–August, 2018. Subjects were regarded as infested if lice were found during examination. Infested subjects were divided into two groups. In the permethrin group, the hair was wetted with permethrin lotion and left for 10 min. Afterwards, a fine-toothed comb was used to remove lice, and then the subjects were instructed to wash their hair with shampoo. On day 14, each subject’s head was reexamined to determine the cure rate. The wet-combing group was treated similarly but using conditioner instead of permethrin.

Results: Of 121 subjects, 88.4% were infested with head lice. The cure rate after one week of treatment was 66% in the permethrin group and 63% in the wet-combing group. After a two-week course of treatment, the cure rate increased to 94% in permethrin group and 89% in the wet-combing group. There was no significant difference in cure rate between permethrin and wet combing after a one-(P = 0.740) or two-week (P = 0.507) course of treatment.

Conclusion: The prevalence of pediculosis capitis in a boarding school in Bogor District was 88.4%. Wet combing treatment was as effective as permethrin for treating pediculosis capitis.

Authors: KUSMARDI KUSMARDI , TUMPU NUR AFIAHUDDIN , ESTUNINGTYAS ARI
Published: January 2020

Objective: Although an anti-inflammatory effect of Phaleria macrocarpa (Mahkota Dewa in Indonesian) leaf extract has been reported, the extract shows toxicity as the dose increases. Chitosan nanoparticles are known to have transport properties that can enhance the targeting of active compounds to tissues at a lower dose. The present study sought to determine whether the extract in chitosan nanoparticles can suppress angiogenesis in the colon tissue of mice.

Methods: We determined the antiangiogenic effect in 6 groups Swiss Webster mice: normal (N) group, negative control (NC) administered drinking water containing DSS 2% w/v (7 d) and followed by water without DSS (7 d) in 3 cycles, 12.5 and 25 mg leaf extract of P. macrocarpa/mouse (EPM 12.5 and EPM 25) groups, and 6.25 and 12.5 mg leaf extract of P. macrocarpa in chitosan nanoparticles/mouse (NPPM 6.25 and NPPM 12.5) groups. Hematoxylin and eosin-stained samples was performed to determine the amount of angiogenesis in the colon tissue.

Results: The angiogenesis in the NPPM 12.5 (p = 0.105) and EPM 25 (p = 0.07) groups was not significantly different to that in the negative control group (administered DSS alone). By contrast, angiogenesis in the EPM 12.5 (p = 0.03) and NPPM 6.25 (p = 0.02) groups was significantly less than that in the DSS group.

Conclusion: Angiogenesis in the colon tissue of mice was reduced by the extract with or without chitosan nanoparticles. The greatest reduction was found for the 12.5 mg/mouse dose of P. macrocarpa leaf extract in chitosan nanoparticles.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the uptake and specificity of [11C]MPC-6827, a MT targeted PET ligand in prostate, glioblastoma and breast cancer cells.

Methods: [11C]MPC-6827 was synthesized by reacting corresponding desmethyl precursors with [11C]CH3I in a GE-FX2MeI/FX2M radiochemistry module. In vitro binding of [11C]MPC-6827 was performed in breast cancer MDA-MB-231, glioblastoma (GBM) patient-derived tumor (GBM-PDX), GBM U251 and prostate cancer 3 (PC3) cell lines at 37 °C in quadruplicate at 5, 15, 30, 60, and 90 minute incubation time. The nonspecific bindings were determined by incubation with unlabeled microtubule targeting agents MPC-6827, HD-800, colchicine, paclitaxel and docetaxel (5.0 mM).

Results: [11C]MPC-6827 provided the highest binding in the breast cancer cell, MDA-MB-231, among all the cells studied, with 90% specific binding. [11C]MPC-6827 binds to glioblastoma PDX and U251 cells with ~50% and 40% specific binding, whereas, prostate cancer cell line, PC3 cells showed 40% specific binding. [11C]MPC-6827 also exhibits binding to the taxane and colchicine binding sites of MTs, in MDA-MB-231 cells.

Conclusion: These data indicate that [11C]MPC-6827 can be a promising PET radiotracer for preclinical imaging of the brain and peripheral cancers.
Research Data Management in a Cultural Heritage Organisation
Authors: Drysdale Tom
Published: January 2020

Research is a core function of cultural heritage organisations. Inevitably, the undertaking of research by galleries, libraries, archives and museums (the GLAM sector) leads to the creation of vast quantities of research data. Yet despite growing recognition that research data must be managed if it is to be exploited effectively, and in spite of increasing understanding of research data management practices and needs, particularly in the higher education sector, knowledge of research data management in cultural heritage organisations remains extremely limited. This paper represents an attempt to address the limited awareness of research data management in the cultural heritage sector. It presents the results of a data management audit conducted at Historic Royal Palaces (HRP) in 2018. The study reveals that research data management at HRP is underdeveloped, while highlighting some causes for optimism. The results of the study are compared to the results of similar studies conducted in UK higher education institutions (HEIs), highlighting the many discrepancies in the ways that research data is managed at HRP and in the HE sector. Recognition of these differences and similarities, it is argued, is necessary for the development of better research data management practices and tools for the heritage sector.

Sobre a estética platônica
Authors: Bellintani Luis Felipe
Published: January 2020

O texto começa pela consideração da aparente posição desfavorável da estética, entendida tanto como o domínio da arte, quanto como o relativo à sensação, perante a metafísica platônica. A consideração posterior, porém, do caráter ontológico do critério metafísico, que, em tese, poria a arte e a sensação a seu reboque, ensejou, mais que uma reabilitação, uma inversão: a metafísica platônica é que seria fundada numa estética.

Este ensaio pretende compreender o papel da idéia de naturalidade na moderna cultura literária alemã. Para chegar a este objetivo, faremos a comparação entre Viagem à Itália, de Goethe, e Morte em Veneza, de Thomas Mann, de modo a ficar claro que, através da representação de Veneza (Itália), feita por Thomas Mann, podemos identificar, baseados na teoria da influência desenvolvida por Harold Bloom, uma concepção de artista que revela a interpretação de Thomas Mann a respeito dos dilemas da cultura alemã.
O belo vai ao cinema
Authors: Vieira Vladimir
Published: January 2020

Apesar da crescente atenção que vem recebendo dos comentadores kantianos nas últimas décadas, a Crítica da faculdade de julgar não parece desfrutar da mesma popularidade entre as linhas de pesquisa dedicadas à abordagem da arte. contemporânea. Com sua ênfase na análise de representações do sujeito, a obra do filósofo alemão parece a muitos inadequada para interpretar as peculiares manifestações estéticas do século XX.

Neste artigo, procuro mostrar que este pressuposto é falso, e que a estética kantiana ainda pode ser legitimamente empregada para compreender a natureza de certos fenômenos artísticos contemporâneos. Para tanto, utilizo distinções estabelecidas na “Analítica do belo” – seção da terceira crítica consagrada à categoria da beleza – como base para a interpretação do filme Cidades dos sonhos (2001), de David Lynch.
Teoria e estética em Aristóteles
Authors: Moraes Francisco
Published: January 2020

Procuramos mostrar, neste artigo, como a experiência estética representa, para Aristóteles, a própria origem e começo da filosofia, e não simplesmente um ramo específico da reflexão filosófica. A filosofia é desencadeada justamente pelo maravilhamento diante daquilo que não se conhece. A admiração (thaumázein) nos torna devedores de um encontro inaugural com algo que se apresenta por si mesmo, de maneira incontrolável. Nisso, precisamente, consiste a experiência estética, a experiência da beleza, para a qual converge toda teorização.
Duchamp, o sensível, a indiscernibildiade
Authors: Martins Marcos
Published: January 2020

Nos inventários da arte do século XX, o trabalho de Marcel Duchamp é com freqüência compreendido apenas em sua dimensão conceitual, ignorando-se uma possível presença do sensível em sua obra. Partindo do conceito da obra de arte como “um ser de sensação” criado por Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari, proponho, nesse trabalho problematizar tanto o lugar reservado a Duchamp pela história da arte, quanto os limites da definição de arte formulada por aqueles filósofos. Para explorar a possibilidade de se pensar uma poética duchampiana este texto se vale estrategicamente de duas referências: as teses de Rosalind Krauss a respeito da materialidade e do erotismo na obra do artista e os conceitos de duração, memória hábito e reconhecimento atento formulados pelo filósofo Henri Bergson.
Trabalho das passagens, de Walter Benjamin
Authors: Kirchner Renato
Published: January 2020

O propósito deste texto é fazer uma apreciação da obra capital de Walter Benjamin, cuja tradução brasileira foi publicada em 2006. O texto divide-se em dois momentos: o primeiro é uma tentativa de expor alguns dados biobibliográficos de e sobre o autor; o segundo propõe-se a fazer uma análise mais detalhada do Trabalho das passagens. Nessa perspectiva, são feitas algumas considerações técnicas sobre a obra e, em seguida, tomando por base o epistolário entre Benjamin e Scholem, busca-se entender o modo peculiar como esta obra foi concebida por Benjamin. Trabalho das passagens é um conjunto de textos que se relacionam a um grande projeto: um livro sobre a cidade de Paris no século XIX. Benjamin retoma nele o velho motivo do “livro do mundo” e emprega-o em sua “leitura” da cidade de Paris do século XIX: a capital francesa e suas famosas galerias, isto é, as “passagens”. Elas são as galerias comerciais da época ou os primórdios das lojas de departamentos.
Entre Kafka e Heidegger: reflexões sobre a relação entre literatura e filosofia na era da técnica
Authors: C. Schuback Marcia
Published: January 2020

Este ensaio está dividido em três partes. A primeira consiste na leitura mais literal possível do conto de Kafka Der Bau, "A construção". A segunda parte é uma crítica à proposta feita por Deleuze e Guattari de uma leitura de Kafka sem filosofia, ou seja, evitando toda hermenêutica interpretativa. A terceira parte, mais extensa, discute a necessidade de uma leitura desse conto de Kafka não evitando a filosofia, mas acolhendo o entre filosofia e literatura, conectando esse conto de Kafka com a colocação de Heidegger sobre a questão da técnica.

Cancer treatments usually cause adverse drug reactions. Therefore, safe anticancer drugs are needed in the treatment of cancer. One source of medicine that can be explored is plant. Extracts of longan leaves (Dimocarpus longan), jamaican cherry leaves (Muntingia calabura), and avocado leaves (Persea americana) have been tested for cytotoxic activity against several cancer cell lines. This study aims to determine the cytotoxic activity of ethanolic extract of longan leaves, jamaican cherry leaves, and avocado leaves against T47D and WiDr cells and to identify secondary metabolites in the extracts which have the highest activity. Ethanolic extract of longan leaves, jamaican cherry leaves, and avocado leaves were tested for their cytotoxic activity using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. Identification of secondary metabolites in the ethanolic extract of avocado leaves was carried out by thin layer chromatography method using silica gel GF254 as the stationary phase and a mixture of n-hexane and acetone (6:4) as the mobile phase. Cytotoxic test results show that ethanolic extract of longan leaves and cherry leaves with concentration of up to 1600 μg/mL do not reduce the T47D and WiDr living cells to 50%. Avocado leaf extract decreases the percentage of living T47D cells and WiDr with IC50 values of  790.679 µg/mL and 1072.2 µg/mL, respectively. The ethanolic extract of avocado leaves contains flavonoid, phenolic, and terpenoid. Ethanolic extract of longan leaves, cherry leaves and avocado leaves do not have cytotoxic activity against T47D and WiDr cells.

Before Foucault
Authors: Mantovani Roberto
Published: January 2020

We are going to trace the ideas and experiments, since Galileo and until Leon Foucault, aimed at proving the Earth’s rotation. Galileo - incorrectly – tried to explain the phenomenon of tidal forward and backward flow with the Earth’s rotation. After Galileo, the cannon shots towards the zenith and the experiments on falling objects were considered reliable evidences. In Florence Vincenzo Viviani observed and described the rotation of pendulums, but he did not realize its scientific importance. At the end of the XVII century, Newton had the idea of showing the Royal Society, through Hooke, the proof of the eastward deflection of a falling body from considerable height. In the XVIII century, new geophysical proofs of the Earth’s rotation were available. At the end of the century, in Italy, Newton’s direct experiment was taken into consideration again. In Bologna, Guglielmini measured the deviations towards the east and south of small leaden balls falling inside the Asinelli Tower.

Pengembangan ekowisata merupakan salah satu upaya pemanfaatan sumberdaya lokal yang optimal. Sejalan dengan praktek ekowisata berbasis masyarakat, konsep pariwisata berbasis masyarakat ini merupakan sebuah konsep pariwisata yang menekankan pada sisi pengembangan masyarakat dalam mengelola pariwisata yang ada. Konsep ini sering disebut community based tourism (CBT). Metode kualitatif dan kuantitatif digunakan untuk melihat CBT di Desa Tarumajaya. Desa Tarumajaya memiliki berbagai potensi pengembangan ekowisata. Beberapa potensi wisata di antaranya Situ Cisanti, Curug Lodaya Barat, Situs Batu Korsi, Situs Batu Kasur, Air Panas Ciseke, Situs Batu Lingga, Wisata Gunung Wayang, dan Wisata Edukasi berbasis alam. Meskipun elemen-elemen kunci Community Based Tourism sudah dilakukan dalam praktek ekowisata di Desa Tarumajaya, namun belum memadai. Berbagai usaha masih harus dilakukan, terutama agar ekowisata di Desa Tarumajaya mampu memberikan alternative sumber matapencaharian bagi warga, yang notabene adalah petani tanpa lahan. Kegiatan ekowisata yang berlandaskan CBT diharapkan mampu mengurangi ketergantungan warga atas lahan, terutama lahan konservasi.Ecotourism development is one of the most optimal efforts to utilize local resources. In line with the practice of community-based ecotourism, the concept of community-based tourism is a concept of tourism that emphasizes the side of community development in managing existing tourism.

Sungai Citarum merupakan sungai terpanjang di Indonesia. Sebagai sumber air yang digunakan oleh masyarakat, sungai Citarum belum memenuhi standar kelayakan yang diharapkan. Salah satu masalah yang menyebabkan hal ini adalah pencemaran sungai oleh sampah. Salah satu daerah aliran sungai (DAS) yang merupakan hulu dari sungai Citarum terletak di Desa Sukarapih. Dengan demikian, melalui program "Kuliah Kerja Nyata Citarum Harum (KKN) Desa Sukarapih" diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kualitas sanitasi dan kebersihan sungai Citarum. Berbagai program kegiatan telah dilakukan, salah satunya adalah sosialisasi pengelolaan sampah Sungai Citarum ke berbagai lapisan masyarakat di Desa Sukarapih. Kegiatan selanjutnya adalah menyelenggarakan lokakarya (Workshop) pengelolaan sampah untuk siswa Sekolah Dasar Magarluyu, Desa Sukarapih, Kecamatan Sukasari, Kabupaten Sumedang. Diperoleh korelasi yang signifikan (P=0,018) dari hasil pengajuan lokakarya kepada siswa Sekolah Dasar mengenai kesadaran diri dalam menjaga kebersihan sungai. Sementara korelasi yang tidak signifikan diperoleh (P=0,253) dari hasil penyampaian seminar ke berbagai lapisan masyarakat desa.  Citarum River is the longest river in Indonesia. As a source of water used by many communities, Citarum River has not met the proper eligibility standards. One problem that causes this is the pollution of the river through garbage. One of the river basins (DAS) which is the upstream of the Citarum river is located in Sukarapih Village. Thus, through the program "Citarum Harum Social Service (KKN) Sukarapih Village" is expected to improve the quality of sanitation and cleanliness of the Citarum river. Various program activities have been carried out, one of which is the socialization of Citarum River waste management to various levels of society in Sukarapih Village. The next activity was to organize a waste management workshop for Magarluyu Elementary School students, Sukarapih Village, Sukasari District, Sumedang Regency. A significant correlation was obtained (P=0,018) from the results of the workshop submission to elementary students regarding self-care in maintaining river cleanliness. While an insignificant correlation was obtained (P=0,253) from the results of the seminar delivery to various layers of village community.
Gasto subnacional, presupuestado y ejercido: la brecha entre el plan y la práctica en México (2003-2016)
Authors: Sánchez Martínez José Said
Published: January 2020

Hasta ahora, los estudios no han prestado suficiente atención a la diferencia entre el gasto público presupuestado y el monto ejercido en los gobiernos estatales en México. En consecuencia, esta investigación tiene dos objetivos: presentar evidencia sobre esta brecha durante el periodo 2003-2016 y, mediante un análisis para datos tipo panel (panel corrected standard errors), determinar si la alineación partidista en forma vertical incide en su comportamiento. Los resultados muestran que la diferencia entre lo presupuestado y lo ejercido es una práctica común, específicamente como sobreejercicios y que, en contextos de gobierno dividido en forma vertical, este monto es mayor.
Midiendo el efecto distributivo de la asignación universal por hijo en Argentina: efecto directo, indirecto y potenciales mejoras
Authors: Garganta Santiago
Published: January 2020

Este estudio analiza el impacto distributivo de la Asignación Universal por Hijo (AUH), un programa masivo de Transferencias Monetarias Condicionadas que fue implementado en Argentina a fines de 2009. Para dicho propósito no sólo se considera el efecto ingreso directo de esta transferencia sino que se evalúan también algunas repercusiones distributivas indirectas y las potencialidades del programa bajo diseños alternativos. Los resultados sugieren que la AUH contribuyó a una reducción significativa de la pobreza y la desigualdad. Sin embargo, los desincentivos hacia la formalidad laboral del programa y algunas características del diseño simple actual impiden un efecto distributivo más alto.

Published: January 2020

Este trabajo explora los cambios en la pobreza de ingresos en Argentina durante el período 2003-2015 utilizando diversas metodologías de descomposición. Los resultados sugieren que la mejora generalizada en el mercado laboral luego de la crisis fue el principal factor detrás de la fuerte caída de la pobreza en el período 2003-2007. En contraste, la reducción de la pobreza durante la etapa 2007-2011 está asociada al papel más activo que tomó la política social. Finalmente, durante el período 2011-2015 ningún factor contribuyó significativamente a la reducción de la pobreza.

Published: January 2020

La Triple Cuenta de Resultados busca incorporar los impactos ambientales y sociales que genera una organización a su información financiera. Esta incorporación se da mediante diversos reportes, entre ellos los reportes de sostenibilidad permiten comunicar el impacto económico, social y medioambiental que una organización ejerce sobre su entorno y comunidad, pudiendo medir a través de variables o indicadores la incidencia positiva o negativa en estas áreas. Los Estados, y todas sus empresas públicas y administraciones deberían ser pioneros y jugar un papel decisivo a la hora de desarrollar, legitimar y consolidar modelos de Triple Balance a través de diferentes reportes. Sin embargo, No se tiene evidencia sobre cómo los estados están incorporando la TCR en sus reportes, en cuántas de sus empresas y con qué propósitos. El objetivo de este estudio es precisamente ser capaz de describir qué tipo de reportes elaboran las empresas públicas uruguayas y cuál es su contenido.

Se determina cuántas empresas públicas reportan sobre sostenibilidad, cómo hacen visibles dichos reportes, qué tipo de informe publican y con qué frecuencia. Asimismo se vincula la información obtenida en dichos reportes con los principios del Pacto Global de Naciones Unidas, los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible así como los Principios y Estándares del GRI.

Se emplearon como fuente de información los sitios web de las empresas públicas uruguayas, se efectuó una revisión de Reportes de sostenibilidad en la base de datos del Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) y en el sitio web de Responsabilidad Social Empresaria (DERES) de Uruguay.

Como resultado se obtuvo que al menos el 86% de las empresas públicas uruguayas presentan reportes de características variopintas, no encontrándose uniformidad entre estos. Sin embargo, se ha notado una evolución en la preparación de los reportes, adoptando denominaciones más adecuadas, incorporando contenidos, así como aumentando la cantidad y calidad de la información. Sin embargo, en dichos reportes no necesariamente se identifican de manera específica temas como la RSE, los principios del Pacto Global, los ODS, los principios y estándares GRI, con lo cual existe información relevante para comunicar a los grupos de interés que no queda referenciada en los informes. Asimismo, son escasas las empresas públicas que elaboran propiamente Reportes de sostenibilidad y ninguna presenta un Reporte integrado.

Authors: Ishak Nurfaika
Published: January 2020

AbstractDiscretion is particularly vulnerable to the misuse of authority by officials which could lead to collusion, corruption and nepotism and made the administration of government no longer aims for public’s benefit and interest but for the advantage of a few and conflict interest of corrupt people. Therefore, the clear procedures related to the implementation for supervision of the discretion, especially on local government in the the Republic of Indonesia.This study aims to provide a more in-depth understanding of the issues of implementation and supervision of discretion of government officials. The form of legal research used in this study is juridical-normative research. Juridical-normative legal research consists of research on principles, systematics, and legal synchronization. This study also based on laws and regulations related to the implementation and supervision of discretion by officials. This study shows that every official of the state administration in performing their duties shall be based on legitimate authority, which is provided by laws and regulations. Governance should be based on law (wet matigheid van bestuur = legality principle = le rincile de la egalite de'l administration). The supervision of the discretion of government officials is prohibited to the abuse of authority. Government Officials are prohibited from misusing authority. Supervision is carried out by internal control apparatus. The results of supervision are: no errors; there are administrative errors; or there are administrative errors with a financial loss to the state.Keywords: Discretion, Supervision, Local Government.

Authors: Asmara Anjar Purba , Amungkasi Hanik Khuriana
Published: January 2020

An analysis for determining kinetics of effect of varied shelf-life time to the level of vitamin C in Malus sylvestris fruits has been conducted. It has used fresh apple Malang (M. sylvestris) from Batu (East Java) at their harvest time with the same size and color as the subject of the research. Therefore, the fruits were stored in room temperature and kept away from direct sunlight for 0, 1, 2, and 3 days. The fruits were extracted by using a juice blending technique with aquadest as the solvent. An iodimetric titration has been used to determine the effect of the varied storage time to the level of vitamin C in the samples. The result shows that the average value of vitamin C level in M. sylvestris stored in 0, 1, 2, and 3 days as much as 2.3904 mg/50g; 2.1073 mg/50g; 2.06695 mg/50g; and 1.9860 mg/50g, respectively. Statistic analysis of ANAVA-A and t-test confirms that there are significant differences between the level of vitamin C of M. sylvestris stored in 0, 1, 2, and 3 days. The conclusion about the kinetics of ascorbic acid degradation of M. sylvestris at 27 0C states three expressions as following as: the reaction is a second order reaction, the constants of reaction rate is 2.65 x 10-2 L(mol.days)-1, the half life is 15.786 days, and kinetics model for the reaction is C = (0.0265t + 1/C0)-1.

Published: January 2020

A large number of forests at Munggu Village, Ngabang District, Landak Regency have been converted into oil palm and rubber plantations. As consequences, natural habitats in the region have been fragmented and species diversity, including herpetofauna, has been decreased. This study aimed to assess herpetofauna diversity in four different habitats in Munggu Village: (1) forests, (2) Landak river, (3) tourist areas, and (4) rubber plantations. Data collection used Visual Encounter Survey (VES) for 8 days.[u1]  The results showed that the total of 24 herpetofauna species: 15 amphibians’ species (4 families) and 9 reptiles species (6 families) have been recorded from the four sampled areas. Of the four locations 11 species were found in river habitat in the forest, 4 species in the location of Landak river, 8 species in tourism sites and 9 species in rubber plantations. The Shannon-Wiener (H') diversity index in all four habitats was classified as moderate. In the river location in the forest, H' was 2.14, in the Landak river it was 1.28, in the tourism sites it was 1.71 and in the rubber plantation it was 1.87. However, the evenness index (E) for the herpetofauna community in all four locations was >0.80. Habitat loss and habitat destruction are among the causes of decline in amphibian and reptile populations. Knowing the diversity of herpetofauna, it is hoped that the community and stakeholders can collaborate to secure the herpetofauna in Munggu Village.

Published: January 2020

The research about frogs and toads diversity in the Code River, Province of Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY) had been done in 2012 (Yudha et al, 2013). Now, after five years passed, we conduct monitoring activities to updating its diversity and distribution. After five years, we consider that there are many changes along the river that influenced habitat condition for frogs and toads which live along and near the river. Some of the changes are unused land became human settlement or paddy fields and waste land. The purpose of this research is to monitor the diversity of frogs and toads after five years along Code River. The method used was line transect combine with visual encounter surveys (VES) and river bank cruising. Results show that the species number of frogs and toads found in 2012 were slightly higher compare to 2017. The frogs and toads on upstream part were diverse in 2017 compare to 2012 due to natural restoration of riparian vegetation occur on upstream. The frogs and toads on midstream part were less diverse in 2017 compare to 2012 due to increasing human activities near the river and less riparian vegetation. The frogs and toads on downstream part were also less diverse in 2017 compare to 2012 due to increasing human activities near the river and more household waste stuck on riparian vegetation. There was variation of anurans diversity after five years due to changing on physical condition of the river and human activities near the river.
