Abstract
In 2005 and 2007, prompted by Nipah and avian influenza outbreaks, respectively, faculties at Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (CVASU) in Bangladesh initiated a civil society network of researchers in animal and human health. This network led to the launch a year later of One Health Bangladesh (OHB), a platform with membership open to multi-disciplinary scientists, practitioners, and activists. Along with continued advocacy to advance One Health agenda, OHB partnered with government, UN agencies, and other stakeholders to develop, in 2012, a National One Health Strategic Framework and Action Plan. The National Plan was later endorsed by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock (MoFL), and Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change (MoEFC) followed by its implementation which introduced a three-tier multi-sectoral coordination mechanism including the establishment of a One Heath Secretariat in 2016. In 2017, an operational budget for the One Health Secretariat (OHS) was allocated by the MoHFW and three mid-level government officers from three government agencies, and the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), Department of Livestock Services (DLS), and Bangladesh Forest Department (BFD) were seconded to the OHS to make the Secretariat functional. OHB and the OHS now work together to advance the institutionalization process and implement One Health activities including One Health capacity building, joint surveillance, outbreak investigation and intervention, advocacy in the form of arranging dialogs, seminars, workshops, and conferences, and promoting cross sectoral and transdisciplinary collaboration, networking, and partnership nationally and internationally.

Authors: Thanh Hai Le , Trung Kien Tran , Thanh Hung Nguyen 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Earthworm organic waste is processed into vermicompost, which is of varying quality depending on the substrate. In vermicomposting, earthworms can promote nitrogen mineralization and effect nitrification. A challenging-to-absorb nutrient will be converted into a nutrient that plants can easily absorb to improve nutrients in soil and increase crop production. In this study, an experimental model of organic fertilizer production from catfish pond bottom sludge was implemented. Sludge from the bottom of catfish ponds is composted with water hyacinth in aquatic ponds to produce organic fertilizer, mature fertilizer is used as a substrate for vermicomposting. The impact of vermicompost on plant growth parameters was evaluated through its use to improve nutrients in soil. Sludge, compost, vermicompost, and soil quality were also evaluated for their physical and chemical properties. Results show that the growth coefficient of earthworms is 129.3±1.15% per 30 days, and the average amount of organic fertilizer created is 126±3.51 kg per 30 days. The quality parameters of vermicompost all meet national standards for organic fertilizer quality. The moisture and total organic matter content in mature fertilizer are 31% and 21.9%, respectively. The content of nutrients N and P increased compared to input materials, the corresponding values reached 2.84% and 0.96%. The C/N ratio is 7.7, microbiological and heavy metal indicators are within the accepted limits. In the experiment using vermicompost to cultivate Brassica rapa chinensis, the yield growth rate was the highest. After 21 days of planting, the growth rate is fast and the height reaches 25.0±0.38 cm. The biochemical composition ensures safety according to food regulations for leafy vegetables. Vermicomposting is recommended as a sustainable and suitable technique for catfish pond sludge utilizing.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Porous geopolymer materials have been recently used in environmental remediation applications as adsorbents. This study is to investigate the NH4
+ adsorption capacity of geopolymer activated from coal fly ash mixing with NaOH, Na2SiO3, and H2O2. The H2O2 with various ratios (0%, 4.5%, and 8.5%) were added into the fly ash pastes as blowing agents. The NH4
+ adsorption capacity of these materials was examined concerning the effects of NaOH concentration, H2O2 contents, adsorbent particle sizes, dosages, and NH4
+ concentration by batch adsorption test. The results show that adding 4.5% (G45) and 8.5% (G85) of H2O2 developed porous structures in geopolymer granules and their NH4
+ adsorption capacity depends on their particle sizes and pore structures. In particular, geopolymer granules with 8.5% H2O2 exhibited higher NH4
+ adsorption capacity than lower content of H2O2 in case of particle size of 3.0-8.0 mm. However, pulverized geopolymer still demonstrated the greatest NH4
+ adsorption capacity. In addition, both granules G45 and G85 demonstrated a well-fit (R2 = 0.97-0.99) with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The maximum NH4
+ adsorption capacity of G85 was 19.86 mg/g, which indicated the NH4
+ adsorption potential of porous geopolymer granules generated from waste materials such as coal fly ash.

Abstract
This study aimed to simulate air pollution in Ba Ria - Vung Tau province (BR-VT), a significant transportation hub in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. The FVM-TAPOM model system was employed to create a spatial distribution map of air pollution concentration including PM2.5, PM10, NO2, SO2, and CO. The model had sufficient capability for simulating air pollutant distribution (R2>0.6). For PM2.5, the average simulated 1-hour PM2.5 concentration is highest during the dry and rainy seasons, reaching 68 μg/m3 and 46 μg/m3, respectively. For PM10, the average 1-hour simulated PM10 dust concentration is highest during the dry and rainy seasons, reaching 90 μg/m3 and 62 μg/m3, respectively. For NO2, the average 1-hour simulated NO2 concentration is highest during the dry and rainy seasons, reaching 56 (μg/m3) and 46 μg/m3, respectively, which is lower than the permissible threshold of QCVN 05:2023/BTNMT (1-hour average 200 μg/m3). For SO2, the average 1-hour simulated SO2 concentration is highest during the dry and rainy seasons, reaching 140 μg/m3 and 88 μg/m3, respectively, which is lower than the permissible threshold of QCVN 05:2023/BTNMT (1-hour average 350 μg/m3). For CO, the average 1-hour simulated CO concentration is highest during the dry and rainy seasons, reaching 2.950 μg/m3 and 2.280 μg/m3, respectively, which is lower than the permissible threshold of QCVN 05:2023/BTNMT (1-hour average 30.000 μg/m3).

Published: August 2024

Abstract
The indicator–based vulnerability assessment of households to typhoons and inundation was conducted in a ward of Da Nang city after the historical typhoon Son Ca 2022. A set of 18 indicators, encompassing three components of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity, was used for vulnerability assessment. In–depth and semi–structured interviews revealed that 42% and 89% of the interviewed households were affected by typhoons and inundation, respectively. The study noted that nearly 87% of households experienced inundation–induced damage at varying intensities in October 2022. The surveyed results also demonstrated that 88% of the interviewed households had at least 01 child under 11 years old, 22% had at 1–2 elderly above 65 years old in the family, and 16% were categorized as poor or near–poor households. 73% of the households resided in single–story houses (Type IV), 5% were living in temporary accommodations, and 8% lacked a stable livelihood. Although a high percentage of households were equipped with basic disaster mitigation tools (100%) and respondents received warning information about inundation (85%), only 16% engaged in disaster prevention training and propaganda courses. The assessment of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity to typhoons and inundation was 0.58, 0.39, and 0.34, respectively (0 to 1 scale). Although the survey area was considered a highly adaptable and proactive area to disasters, the present study revealed that the vulnerability to historical disasters in the survey area was 0.63 (–1 to 2 scale). The results indicate that residents and authorities are insufficiently prepared to manage historical disasters effectively. The results of this study offer valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders in improving adaptive capacity and disaster preparedness effectiveness.

Authors: Avila C 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
In Southeast Asia, Indonesia and the Philippines boast unique riparian areas crucial for ecological balance. These zones, nestled in mountainous terrains, act as vital links between land and water ecosystems, rich in biodiversity and cultural significance. However, they face threats from human development, causing fragmentation and altering their functions. To comprehend these changes, a study compared the landscape structure of two mountain villages in Ubud, Indonesia, and Banaue, Philippines. Using the landscape profile method, the study examined the relationship between landscape elements, highlighting Batad and Tegalalang’s distinct characteristics and challenges. While both areas featured forests, agriculture, and built-up areas, Batad exhibited less fragmentation. Terraced rice fields played critical roles in supporting water flow and biodiversity but faced risks from agrochemical use. Tegalalang faced environmental challenges like inadequate waste management and water scarcity, emphasizing the need for sustainable practices. The study’s adaptation of the landscape profile method provided valuable insights into landscape fragmentation, aiding in understanding and addressing ecological complexities in riparian zones. This research highlights the importance of preserving and managing riparian areas in mountainous regions to sustain their ecological functions amidst growing human impacts.

Abstract
An important aspect of creating a viable campus environment is providing safe and comfortable walking paths. Proper walking paths give some advantages for students, including improved physical and mental health, transportation efficiency, and increased Student satisfaction and happiness. The pedestrian sidewalk area at Bali Land Transportation Polytechnic (Poltrada Bali) covers 3800 m2, experiencing high pedestrian activity but lacking protective roofing to enhance pedestrian comfort. Based on the pedestrian sidewalk area, a solar power plant as support for the green canopy construction combined with shading vines is possible. The generated electrical energy serves as the power source for the Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (PEVCS) in the campus parking lot as a support for the electric vehicle acceleration program in Bali province. In addition to PEVCS, energy extraction surplus is used as alternative energy for street lighting facilities in the campus area. In this study, the design concept of a shaded pedestrian sidewalk has been carried out, with multiple benefits as solar plants using Delphi as a variable identification and validation tool, and SketchUp software to visualize design shapes aesthetically. The results show that a pedestrian comfort level of 94% was obtained and the maximum power generation of 934,800 Wp, thus it was able to meet the 887,832 W campus operational power reserve needs, street and garden lights of 9,728 W, and the power requirements of two PEVCS units of 22,000 W with a surplus of 15,240 W electric power.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
The rapid increase in population has raised the need for housing, resulting in increasing overall energy consumption by its inhabitants. The idea of green cities and Net Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) has evolved to address this problem. NZEBs are buildings that produce as much energy as they need, primarily from renewable resources, reducing carbon emissions in the process. This paper focuses on the design of a Chennai mid-rise multifamily apartment that aims to attain energy self-sufficiency while providing indoor comfort for its residents. The methodology involves a pilot study to gather necessary data and validate the simulation results, followed by the design and evaluation of the NZEB model. The design approach incorporates passive design strategies such as natural ventilation and daylighting, as well as active strategies such as energy-efficient equipment and renewable energy sources. For the NZEB model, a load match index of 100.41% was attained. In addition, the paper covers the idea of NZEBs, previous research, case studies, and the use of net metering in the projects.
