Published: August 2019

An inter-comparison in the high oil pressure range was arranged in 2005 - 2007. The participating laboratories were CMI/Czech Republic, Metas/Switzerland, MIKES/Finland, NMi-VSL/The Netherlands, PTB/Germany, SMD/Belgium and SP/Sweden. CMI, Metas, NMi-VSL and PTB are pressure laboratories of the primary level, and the three others are traceable to LNE/France.
The transfer standard was a Desgranges & Huot piston-cylinder unit with a nominal effective area of 1,96 mm2, mounted in a D&H 5316 balance body. The participants determined the effective area at ten nominal pressures from 50 MPa to 500 MPa in steps of 50 MPa. All the results were in a good agreement with the reference values, calculated as weighted means of the results from the four primary level laboratories. The results fully support the uncertainties claimed in the CMC tables of the participants.
As the pressure distortion is the dominating source of uncertainty in this range, the claimed uncertainties were highest at 500 MPa, ranging from 5,6 · 10-5 of PTB to 1,2 · 10-4 of MIKES (expanded relative uncertainties, k = 2). Except for PTB, there were no big differences in the claimed uncertainties between the primary and the secondary level laboratories.
Some of the participants underestimated the uncertainties when giving their results in terms of the effective area at null pressure S0 and the pressure distortion coefficient, λ. The uncertainties given by some others were unnecessarily high.
The transfer standard was not as stable as expected, and the uncertainties of the reference values were to some extent increased by the observed drift.
The comparison, registered as EUROMET Project #881, was started as an informal one between MIKES, Metas, NMi-VSL and CMI, and in the beginning the rules for EUROMET comparisons were not strictly followed.
No links to other comparisons were made as the latest EUROMET key comparisons in the high pressure range were carried out more than twelve years ago. Linking will be made as soon as results from newer comparisons are available.
Edited in 2018:
The link between this comparison (EUROMET 881 / EURAMET.M.P.K7) and the key comparison CCM.P.K13 was calculated, and the original EUROMET 881 report (MIKES Publication J4/2007) was updated accordingly in 2018.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
Indonesian biodiversity including the rich flora is facing various threats, including deforestation, habitat degradation, fire, natural disasters and climate change. Many ex situ conservation strategies have been implemented in response to this problem, including the development of new local botanic gardens in each province throughout Indonesia. The purpose of this paper is to reveal the important role of seed banks in forming part of the botanic gardens’ collections management strategies – they now play an increasingly important role in saving the Indonesian flora from extinction. This study was conducted by undertaking a literature review and analysis of secondary data on the four largest botanic gardens of Indonesia. Currently there are 33 botanic gardens in Indonesia consisting of five national botanic gardens under Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (LIPI/Indonesian Institute of Sciences), two botanic gardens under universities and 26 botanic gardens managed by Local Goverments. Among the five national botanic gardens, four manage seed banks: the Seed Bank of the Center for Plant Conservation Botanic Gardens/Bogor Botanic Gardens banks 749 accessions covering 460 species, 305 genera and 114 families; Cibodas Botanic Garden Seed Bank has 61 accessions covering 57 species, 57 genera, 40 families; Purwodadi Botanic Garden Seed Bank has 413 accessions covering 207 species, 134 genera and 46 families; and Eka Karya Bali Botanic Garden Seed Bank maintains 132 accessions covering 89 species, 43 genera and 21 families. The Indonesian Botanic Garden Seed Banks thus hold 1,355 accessions in total, covering less than 1% of total Indonesian plant diversity. In order to increase this coverage, Indonesian seed banking capacity needs to be increased, through the technical development of existing seed banks and the engagement of local botanic gardens throughout Indonesia to establish mini seed banks using the community seed bank approach.

The Luki and Yangambi Biosphere Reserves: laboratories for climate change research and sustainable development
Authors: Beeckman Hans 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The UNESCO Biosphere reserves of Yangambi (235 000 ha) and Luki (33 000 ha) are both situated within the semi-deciduous moist forests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. These forests are part of the second largest tropical rainforest belt in the world and signify still a persistent carbon sink, rich in biodiversity and an essential provider of ecosystem services, including natural resources for economic development. Luki and Yangambi offer, thanks to the concept of Biosphere Reserve, an appealing opportunity to develop activities of research, training and education and serve, as such, as potential models for the reconciliation of nature conservation, economy and welfare. Both Yangambi and Luki have a particularly rich history of research. They can be considered as the cradle for investigations in Central-African botany, forest ecology, tree physiology, climatology, tropical agronomy and sylviculture. The archives, databases and scientific reference collections (curated both locally and in natural history collections in Belgium) related to these reserves are a treasure trove for actual research needs in the domains of global change (evaluations of carbon fluxes) and forest resilience. Some experimental plots are still present after their establishment, 70 years ago, and offer unique research material, in a region where there is a dire need for long term observations of vegetation dynamics and environmental fluctuations. We give an overview of ongoing research projects relevant to the topics of carbon fluxes and forest resilience, all including wood analysis in a context of vegetation history, tree physiology and forest ecology. We show how this is relevant for designing biodiversity management and we demonstrate how the MAB reserves of Luki and Yangambi are key research sites to document the debates on global changes and resilience of rainforests.

Abstract
Indonesia is the largest palm oil producing country in the world. Ganoderma boninese disease is the most destructive that cause limiting factor in production of oil palm. It is a crucial to discover an effective management strategy for a serious threat of basal stem rot disease of G. boninense in oil palm. The objective of this research was to assess the possible use of palm oil mill effluents (POME) and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens EB13 in reducing of oil palm disease caused by G. boinense. In greenhouse experiment has shown that POME and B. amyloliquefaciens EB13 significantly reduced disease index (DI) of oil palm disease from 4.0 to 2.3 and from 4 to 1.8 respectively. Biocontrol efficacy of B.amyloliquefacient and POME were 70.9 and 70.4 respectively. The addition of POME into soil has significantly reduced population of fungy from 40.0 to 1.8 x 104 CFU g−1 fresh soil, and the addition of B. amyloliquefaciens reduced population of fungy from 40.0 to 2.3 x104 CFU g−1 fresh soil. Amount of bacteria population increased from 13.8 to 19.0 x 106 CFU g−1 fresh soil by adition of POME, even the increasing was not significant. While addition of B. amyloliquefaciens significantly increased bacteria population from 13.8 to 56.8 x106 CFU g−1 fresh soil. Laccase activity in soil inoculated only with G. boninense would significantly highest compared with combined treatment of POME and G. boninenese, and the combined treatment of B. amyloliquefaciens and G. boninense, their activities were 2991.2 UmL−1, 1140.6 UmL−1, and 609,6 UmL−1 respectively. Lignin peroxidase activity in soil inoculated only with G. boninense and soil with combined treatment of POME and G.boninense higher than the combined treatment of soil with B. amyloliquefaciens and G.boninense, their activities were 666.4 UmL−1, 655.3 UmL−1, and 492.4 UmL−1 respectively. The highest activity of mangan peroxidase was detected in soil inoculated only with G. boninense compared with combined treatment of POME and G. boninense, and the combined treatment of B. amyloliquefaciens and POME, although the differences were not significant, their activities were 202.3 UmL−1, 146.3 UmL−1, and 148.9 UmL−1.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
Alakol Biosphere Reserve includes Alakol-Sasykkol lake system and is situated in Alakol depression. Its total area is 193 089.9 ha including water areas (529 300 ha): the core zone is 19 712,9 ha, buffer zone – 26 667 ha and transition zone – about 511 300 ha. There are 58 ecosystems in the Reserve’s territory, grouped in 3 orders: terrestrial natural (35 types), aquatic (10 types) and terrestrial anthropogenically transformed (13 types) ecosystems. The largest area is occupied by terrestrial natural ecosystems (49.45%), followed by aquatic ecosystems (44.37%) and anthropogenically transformed ecosystems, which are registered for comparatively large area (13.43%). Terrestrial natural ecosystems are merely touched by human activity and occupy large spaces mainly on the territory of the core and buffer zone of Alakol Reserve, as well as Eastern and South-Eastern parts of the transition zone. Biosphere Reserve as a whole is situated in transition zone between Dzhungar and Northern-Turan desert types, and this is the cause of unique vegetation associations with peculiar floristic composition and different geographic orientation. Zonal spectrum of foothill plains is characterized by the change of ephemeroid-Artemisia deserts on sierozem soils, steppified cereal-Artemisia deserts on brown soils and genuine deserts on gray-brown soils. Central lowest part of Alakol depression is occupied by lakes surrounded by hydromorphous vegetation (meadow and marsh vegetation). The territory of biosphere reserve is located on the Central Asian – Indian bird migration route and is a wetland of world significance as waterbirds’ habitat and aggregation site. The biosphere reserve reflects regional ecosystem and biological diversity and represents rich composition of flora and fauna.

Authors: Rahayu Sri 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Indonesia has a high diversity of Hoya species especially in Kalimantan. The Hoyas have been used as ornamental plant and trades internationally, while in local community, some species have been used as medicinal plant. Recently, two new species found in Sanggau, West Kalimantan and has high value as ornamental plant. The species grows in specific habitat i.e. heath forest of the Ketori community forest. The local community was practicing rules in maintaining the biodiversity in their forest, i.e. only members of the community are allowed to use biodiversity (woods, logs, medicinal plant and so on). They controlled also the number of biodiversity used. This practices lead to the conservation and sustainable use of the biodiversity of the forest . The community forest is believed as source of their needs and water shed.
Case-Only Analysis of Gene-Environment Interactions Using Polygenic Risk Scores
Authors: Meisner Allison , Kundu Prosenjit , Chatterjee Nilanjan 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Investigations of gene (G)-environment (E) interactions have led to limited findings to date, possibly due to weak effects of individual genetic variants. Polygenic risk scores (PRS), which capture the genetic susceptibility associated with a set of variants, can be a powerful tool for detecting global patterns of interaction. Motivated by the case-only method for evaluating interactions with a single variant, we propose a case-only method for the analysis of interactions with a PRS in case-control studies. Assuming the PRS and E are independent, we show how a linear regression of the PRS on E in a sample of cases can be used to efficiently estimate the interaction parameter. Furthermore, if an estimate of the mean of the PRS in the underlying population is available, the proposed method can estimate the PRS main effect. Extensions allow for PRS-E dependence due to associations between variants in the PRS and E. Simulation studies indicate the proposed method offers appreciable gains in efficiency over logistic regression and can recover much of the efficiency of a cohort study. We applied the proposed method to investigate interactions between a PRS and epidemiologic factors on breast cancer risk in the UK Biobank (United Kingdom, recruited 2006–2010).
