Published: February 2022

Abstract
X-rays spectroscopy experiments at synchrotron facilities were limited for many years by the maximum input count rate and the signal-to-background ratio of germanium fluorescence detectors. These limitations are related to the germanium semiconductor device, the sensor configuration and its response to the incident X-ray flux at different energies. In order to understand and quantify such limitations, physics simulation of the detector response is a powerful tool to provide guidelines for designing, prototyping and improving detectors, as well as modelling experimental environments, which reduces time and cost of development. For this purpose, a first complete and operational simulation chain based on Allpix Squared framework is presented, customized to multi-element germanium detectors and combined with three-dimensional simulations of the electric field and the weighting potential, based on COMSOL Multiphysics®. Based on this simulation chain, a quantification of charge sharing effect as well as signal-to-background ratio at different beam energies has been made for a germanium detector equipped with and without collimator. In addition, two experimental measurements have been performed on the SAMBA beamline at SOLEIL synchrotron. The experimental data were used to set up the full simulation chain and good agreements have been observed between data and simulation.

Abstract
The EXO-200 experiment searched for neutrinoless double-beta decay of 136Xe with a single-phase liquid xenon detector. It used an active mass of 110 kg of 80.6%-enriched liquid xenon in an ultra-low background time projection chamber with ionization and scintillation detection and readout. This paper describes the design and performance of the various support systems necessary for detector operation, including cryogenics, xenon handling, and controls. Novel features of the system were driven by the need to protect the thin-walled detector chamber containing the liquid xenon, to achieve high chemical purity of the Xe, and to maintain thermal uniformity across the detector.
Rivers running green: water hyacinth invasion monitored from space
Authors: Janssens Niels , Schreyers Louise , Biermann Lauren , van der Ploeg Martine , Bui Thanh-Khiet L , van Emmerik Tim 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Water hyacinth is an aquatic free-floating plant that is highly invasive, to the extent that it is now present in most freshwater bodies in sub-tropical and tropical regions worldwide. Due to the ecological and socio-economic damages these plants can cause, monitoring their spatial coverage and seasonality is key for development of timely and efficient mitigation measures. Hyacinth patches are sufficiently large to be detectable in high-resolution satellite imagery, allowing for monitoring using freely available remote sensing data collected by platforms such as Sentinel-2. In this study, we estimated water hyacinth coverage and seasonal dynamics over three years (2018–2020) for the Saigon river, Vietnam. Using a Naïve Bayes classifier, hyacinth coverage was mapped in Sentinel-2 imagery with an accuracy of 91%. We show that the dry season (December-May) corresponds to highest water hyacinth abundance, with maximum coverage in February. Lower rainfall and relative humidity were found to be highly correlated (r = −0.56 and r = −0.64, respectively) with higher hyacinth cover. We also detected substantial interannual variability: annual means in hyacinth coverage varied by a factor of five between the 2018/2019 and 2020 yearly averages, with peak cover occurring in February 2020. The percentage of Saigon river covered by hyacinths over the entire study area peaked at 14% and reached as much as 24% for the upstream section. This confirms the prevalence of these invasive plants in the region, and the growing threat to river navigability and biodiversity. Our study provides an openly available automated workflow for long-term monitoring of hyacinth coverage, which can be scaled-up and extended to other freshwater systems. As such, it provides a step for building a large-scale monitoring tool of this highly invasive species, which may also be used for designing mitigation and reduction strategies of hyacinth and the pollutants it carries along.
How does COVID-19 affect the life cycle environmental impacts of U.S. household energy and food consumption?
Authors: Yao Yuan 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has reduced travel but led to an increase in household food and energy consumption. Previous studies have explored the changes in household consumption of food and energy during the pandemic; however, the economy-wide environmental implications of these changes have not been investigated. This study addresses the knowledge gap by estimating the life cycle environmental impacts of U.S. households during the pandemic using a hybrid life cycle assessment. The results revealed that the reduction in travel outweighed the increase in household energy consumption, leading to a nationwide decrease in life cycle greenhouse gas emissions (−255 Mton CO2 eq), energy use (−4.46 EJ), smog formation (−9.17 Mton O3 eq), minerals and metal use (−16.1 Mton), commercial wastes (−8.31 Mton), and acidification (−226 kton SO2 eq). However, U.S. households had more life cycle freshwater withdrawals (+8.6 Gton) and slightly higher eutrophication (+0.2%), ozone depletion (+0.7%), and freshwater ecotoxicity (+2.1%) caused by increased household energy and food consumption. This study also demonstrated the environmental trade-offs between decreased food services and increased food consumption at home, resulting in diverse trends for food-related life cycle environmental impacts.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
The dominance of water lettuce as one of the wetland weeds can cause a decrease in biodiversity in an ecosystem. Spodoptera pectinicornis can be a biological control agent for these weeds but requires a mass multiplication stage, so it is necessary to research feedstock in their augmentation. The research aimed to study the preferences and survival abilities of larvae S. pectinicornis to three forms of feed preparation made from water lettuce leaves. The research method had carried out in 2 stages (1) feedstocks form; an extracted water lettuce, mashed and cut into pieces (2) the addition of nutrients and preservatives to feedstocks. Observations had been made on the preferences and ability of the larvae to survive. The results showed that the larvae of S. pectinicornis had a preference and could survive on cut water lettuce feedstock, while in extracted and mashed died. The addition of nutrients and preservatives to the cut-up feed turned out to cause the larvae to stay away from the feed preparation and eventually die. Based on these, larvae S. pectinicornis only prefer to eat the feedstock in cutting form than enrich it with nutrients and preservatives.

Abstract

Eimeria bovis and Eimeria zuernii are highly pathogenic Eimeria species in cattle that are the most prevalent causes of a severe clinical illness characterized by hemorrhagic diarrhea in calves and young cattle with potentially fatal effects over the world. The oocysts of a handful of the known bovine eimeriosis species are difficult to distinguish morphologically. For the specific differentiating evidence of Eimeria species, symptomatic research institutions are increasingly relying on DNA-based technologies. This research offers a duplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test based on the internal transcribed spacer-1 (ITS-1) gene that may be used to diagnose E. bovis and E. zuernii in cattle from various locations at the same time. The oocysts were concentrated and purified using a fecal harvesting method. The genomic DNA is extracted according to the instructions included with the kit. Primer pairs specific to each species, as well as a standard optimum annealing temperature of 55°C for these species, were discovered. The samples were amplified in a homogenous way, resulting in a homogeneous band ladder, revealing that the test could distinguish between two highly pathogenic Eimeria species in one tube reaction. This duplex PCR assay can detect a high pathogenic bovine Eimeria simultaneously in a rapid and low cost.

Abstract

Feline Panleukopenia Virus (FPV), Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), Feline Calici Virus (FCV), and other cat’s viral diseases were reported in Indonesia. Viral diseases that appear usually appear in each season with different intensities depending on the type of virus. The research data was taken from Animal Hospital Prof. Soeparwi’s medical record in 2017-2019 along with rainfall, humidity, and temperature data in the Yogyakarta area in 2017-2019 obtained from the Climatology and Geophysics Meteorology Agency (BMKG). Disease data are grouped by diagnosis; temperature, humidity, and rainfall data. Data analysis was performed with Microsoft Excel 2016 in the form of a frequency chart and descriptive. The results of the analysis between the incidence patterns of FPV, FIP, FCV, Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FVR), and Papilloma with climatic conditions in the dry and rainy season periods show patterns that vary depending on the character of the virus that causes the disease. High incidence in the rainy season is seen in FPV and FCV, for FIP the incidence of each season is almost the same in each year, whereas the incidence of FVR and Papilloma can be higher in the rainy season and sometimes also can be higher in the dry season. These findings indicate that the incidence of viral diseases in cats has a seasonally based pattern of events.

Abstract
The natural resources and the environment need to be considered the capital for national development and, at the same time, support living systems. Sustainable natural resources will ensure the availability of sustainable resources for products. In addition, a beautiful living environment will improve the quality of human life. Therefore, to realize an advanced, independent, and just Indonesia, Indonesia must manage natural resources and the environment in a balanced way to ensure the sustainability of national development. This study was conducted on communities around the forest area of Mount Jampang to reveal the crucial roles of biodiversity as food sources for the sustainability of local communities’ livelihoods on forest product resources and their conservation. In this study, the population was the communities around the forest in Garut Regency. Samples were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using in-depth interviews. The collected data were analyzed using a descriptive qualitative method to obtain a systematic and accurate description. For the results of this study, the researchers successfully recorded 97 plant species from 49 families. These plants have dominated by Zingiberaceae and Poaceae (8 species), Araceae and Moraceae (6 species), Solanaceae (5 species), Araceae (4 species), Fabaceae, Euphorbiaceae, and Musaceae (3 species), Acanthaceae, Lauraceae, Rosaceae, Araliaceae, and Theaceae (3 species), and Smilacaceae, Chloranthaceae, Begoniaceae, Cannaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Convolvulaceae, and others (1 species). The results of plant utilization indicated that the number of wild food plants was more widely used (64.94%) than that of cultivated food plants (35.05%). It means that the community dependence on biodiversity resources around the protected forest area is sufficiently high.

Abstract
Ecotourism is responsible travel to conserve the environment, reduce negative impacts on the environment and improve the welfare of local communities. Ecotourism is not just an ordinary tourist activity, but a combination of various interests that grow out of concern for the environment and cannot be separated from conservation values. This study aims to analyze the high conservation value of ecotourism areas. Data analysis using general guidelines for the identification of high conservation values by direct observation in the field, interviews, filling out questionnaires, and the stages of activities carried out include landscape, fauna aspect assessment, flora aspect assessment, social, economic, and cultural aspect assessment, criteria and sub-criteria assessment conservation. The results showed conservation assessment in each ecotourism area has various criteria depending on the physical condition of the area and the designation/function of the area for the life of flora and fauna as well as to meet the needs of the community. The conservation assessment of ecotourism areas in Tanah Laut Regency is included in the criteria for HCV 2, HCV 4, HCV 5, and HCV 6, which are classified as areas that have natural species, areas that are important as water providers, erosion, and flood control, areas that are important for meeting needs local communities and areas that are important for the cultural identity of local communities.

Published: February 2022

AbstractErosion is detrimental to the health of the watershed exclusively in the upstream area of the watershed because it causes a lack of soil fertility because of being carried away by water, while in the downstream, it will reduce the river’s capacity due to sediment deposits. This research aims to determine the annual rate of soil erosion and its relation to land cover using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE). Factors needed by RUSLE in estimating erosion include rain erosivity (R), Soil erodibility (K) length and slope (LS), land cover processing factor (CP), and the value of 0,61 as correction factors. We classify the result shows that the erosion rate in Tabunio watershed into five erosion classes, ranging from very light to very heavy classes. The erosion rate in the Tabunio watershed ranged from 0,000158 tons ha-1 year-1 to 9.453,6 tons ha-1 year-1. Very mild erosion occurred in 59.06% of the total area, mild erosion covered 18,80%, while moderate erosion occurred in an area 7,78%, the level of heavy erosion covers an area of 8,15%, while very heavy erosion occurred in an area of 6,21% of the total area of the Tabunio watershed. Forest dominates the erosion rate in the very mild class, the light class until the hefty class is dominated by plantation followed by settlement and mine. From this research, it is known that land cover and land use do not significantly affect the rate of erosion.

AbstractThe rind of the citron (Citrus hytrix DC), manurun banana (Musaparadisiaca Linn), and pineapple (Ananas comosus L. Merr) fruit contains antibacterial compounds of flavonoids, alkaloids, and tannins, which have the potential to be used as alternative antiseptic ingredients. This study aimed to analyze the antibacterial activity of kaffir kaffir lime, manurun banana, and pineapple peel-infused water on the number ofStaphylococcus aureusandEscherichia colibacteria colonies. The research design used a post-test-only with control group design. The test treatments were an infusion of three types of fruit peel at concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%, 70% alcohol, and distilled water. The results of the analysis of research data using the ANOVA test and Duncan’s post-hock test (0.05), showed that there were differences in the number of test bacteria in all the fruit peel infusions tested. The least number of bacteria was in the kaffir lime peel infusion treatment. The conclusion is that there are differences in the antibacterial activity of the infusion of the kaffir lime, manurun banana, and pineapple peel infused water on the number of S. aureus and E. coli bacteria colonies; 100% kaffir lime peel infused water had a better effect on reducing the number of tested bacterial colonies than other tested infusion treatments (p < 0.05).

Abstract
Tidal and non tidal swamp land in Indonesia is a relatively large sub-optimal land resource and has not been used optimally for agricultural land due to various problems. Technological innovation for swamp land, especially for fertilization (biofertilizer) must pay attention to the indigenous microbial community, so that the application of biofertilizer can be effective. The aim of this research was to culturable fungal diversity and their potential of the tidal swamp soil in South Kalimantan and non tidal swamp soil in South Sumatra. The research was conducted in the Microbiology laboratory – ICABIOGRAD. Two samples were isolated from tidal and non tidal swamp soils in South Kalimantan and South Sumatra. Serial dilution methods and molecular identification were used to assess the diversity of fungal species. Production of IAA, siderophores, and ACC Deaminase was evaluated. Results showed there are 11 species consisting of Trichoderma asperellum KS.26.1, Penicillium sp. KS.26.2, T.asperellum KS.26.3, P.simplicissimum SS.27.1, P.janthinellum SS.27.2, Talaromyces calidicanius SS.27.3, P.citrioviride SS.27.4, P.citrioviride SS.27.5, P.citrioviride SS.27.1 PDA, P.citrioviride SS.27.2 PDA, P.citrioviride SS.27.3 PDA were identified from both tidal and non-tidal swamplands. Potential analysis showed that all fungal isolates were able to produce IAA, siderophores, and ACC Deaminase. The fungal diversity was higher in the non-tidal swampland than the tidal swampland as revealed by the differences in percentage occurrence of fungal species. There are potential indigenous fungal in the swampland to be used to improve productivity of the soils.
