Published: October 2022

Abstract
Fish waste management is being neglected in most parts of the world. Unfortunately, with the worldwide increase of demand, this has generated many environmental impacts. This negligence can be traced to the ridicule of the value of this resource as well as the many difficulties related to its valorization. This work suggests the most efficient methods to valorize fish waste using biological and ecological means. With minimal investments so that they can easily be adopted by local farmers and landowners. These methods can either use bacterial action such as composting to create bio-fertilizer, ensilage to manufacture liquid silage or lastly, the production of fish feed to minimize the cost and the detrimental effects of fish farming.

Abstract
The results reported in this study provide new information about the antifungal activity of these medicinal plants and suggest their uses in the high incidence of fungal infections caused by Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans is due to several factors as resistance to antifungals, a fungistatic than the fungicidal effect of these drugs and the side effects of synthetic antifungals. Then, the search for new sources of molecules effective against pathogenic fungi is a major objective. In this context, the screening of antifungal activity of essential oils of three medicinal plants from Morocco (Lavandula angustifolia, Salvia officinalis, and Rosmarinus officinalis) has been carried out against C. albicans and C. neoformans, using Disk-diffusion assay and micro-dilution method. The essential oils are obtained by Hydrodistillation, the characterization of the most active essential oil was carried out by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results show that L. angustifolia essential oil is the only oil that showed strong fungicidal activity against C. neoformans and against C. albicans. The FTIR analysis of this oil showed the existence of several antifungal compounds, mainly linalool, linalyl acetate, terpinene-4-ol, carvacrol, and citral. S. officinalis essential oil has a fungicidal effect against C. neoformans, but a fungistatic effect against C. albicans. This activity is due to the presence of camphor, 1,8-cineole, and limonene. R. officinalis essential oil showed a fungistatic effect depending on its main chemical components, including eucalyptol, limonene, cymene, α-pinene, and camphor. The results reported in this study provide new information about the antifungal activity of these medicinal plants and suggests their uses in the extraction of active principle for the synthesis of new antifungal drugs.

Abstract
In a climatic context, such as that one in our study area, water is a major environmental issue. The combination of several significant causes already explains the scarcity of water in the town of Guercif: lack of rainfall, climate change, and overexploitation of groundwater. In addition to this structural data, it should be remembered that the sustained dynamics of the area from the point of view of urban planning, demographics, as well as industrial and agricultural development accentuate the demand for a matter as vital as water. The need for water in Guercif will follow the trend of population growth and water-consuming activities. In this context, the deficit recorded during 2019 for the water supply, threatened the urban development of a city newly promoted to the status of the chief town of the province. This study was conducted in two phases: an exploratory phase marked by semi-directive interviews with institutional actors, the service concerned with the production and distribution of drinking water in Guercif, complemented by the second phase of a survey with a sample of heads of households. A mass of data from the field surveys during the summer of 2019 guided the analysis of the impacts of the water shortage in Guercif, as well as the behavior of the urban population towards water consumption and saving. This study describes the satisfaction scales of a sample of urban households based on a questionnaire. The results obtained from the surveys carried out during 2019 confirm the vulnerability of the water sector in Guercif, where the local water potential remains largely dependent on external contributions.

Abstract
Understanding the impact of climate change on vegetation is essential to manage a new adaptation strategy and preserve the ecology impacted by the flow of suspended matter towards the watercourse. The main purposeof the present article is to study the relationship between the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and the precipitation (P), in the Guigou basin, in the Middle Atlas of Morocco. The analysis of the relationship between NDVI and P was carried out in four phases using GIS and remote sensing tools. The NDVI was derived from Landsat TM 5 (1990), LANDSAT ETM + 7 (2000), LANDSAT TM 5 (2010), and LANDSAT OLI 8 (2020). The data on precipitation were homogenized on 2 monitoring stations of AitKabbach and Aitaissa, from 1990 to 2020, using the regional vector method and the variability. The response of vegetation to climatic parameters was represented using zonal statistics. The results show a decrease in annual precipitation during the period (1990-2020) with an increase in the year 2020. In the annual scale, linear regression reported a positive relationship between NDVI and precipitation. Thus, during the study period, the vegetation growth decreased by approximately 90%, between the years 2000 and 2010, in response to the observed climatic variation. The growth of vegetation is affected by climatic variability, in particular the precipitation. Consequently, the pedo-climatic context, favorable to erosive action and runoff, generates the transfer of eroded particles responsible for the clogging of spawning grounds, where salmonid eggs are deposited, in the Guigou wadi.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Recent droughts in the Northern Morocco have highlighted the increasing vulnerability of water resources to this natural hazard, with reduced potential for drinking water supply in the city of Tetouan and its coastal area. Therefore, the main objectives of this work are: the identification of dry events that affected the Martil watershed on the one hand, and the study of the effects of meteorological droughts on water resources on the other hand. For this purpose, a meteorological-hydrological modelling framework was adopted, using standardized precipitation index (SPI) values and the volume of surface water resources recorded at the Torreta station. The results obtained show that the last decade of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century have seen the heaviest and most critical droughts in the study area, namely the drought of 1994-95, 1998-99, 2004-05, 2006-07, 2011-12 and 2013-14. Also, water resources have been reduced by 62% to 82% during critical dry years compared to the long-term average for the period 1970-71/2014-15. Finally, this study showed that the rainfall variability is the determining factor in the fluctuations of surface water resources at the Martil watershed because it explains 84% of their total variance.

Abstract
As an attempt in the improvement of economic interest and areal quality, Sunda Strait is appointed as a National Strategic Area. The strait is quite a busy passage for commerce vessels and also acts as link between provinces. The 2018 tsunami event that affect this area has reminded us the importance of coastal area planning based on disaster mitigation. Panimbang District is one of the areas heavily affected by the tsunami, where the population reside and having their livelihoods around the coast, hence coastal area planning of Panimbang is very much needed. This research was conducted to see the condition of Panimbang District coastal area after the tsunami and how the existing national planning policies is in sync with planning policies at regional level in terms of disaster mitigation. Results of spatial analysis show that coastal areas have not adapted and mitigated optimally, we can see some settlements and tourist areas around coastal area are not heeding the policy on protecting coastal areas, this could happened due to lack of law enforcement or lack of socialization to the local community. This paper might provide recommendation to the local government in arranging coastal protection to keep the residential areas and essential infrastructure safe by making the structural and non-structural approaches.

Abstract
Zero waste is a concept of managing waste in sustainable way by minimizing the waste to the minimum level. The adoption of this concept in Indonesia remain limited which causing overburden to landfills and the environment. University students have a good access to updated information on Zero Waste, thus are more ready in accepting the concept. Using the Theory of Planned Behavior, this study explored zero waste behavior and psychosocial factors affecting the behavior. A cross-sectional design is applied for online survey on 122 university students enrolled in Medical Faculty of Udayana University, who were selected using systematic random sampling. Information includes demographic characteristics, behavior, attitude, perceived benefit, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control and moral value relevant to Zero Waste concept. Bivariate and multivariate analysis were performed using simple logistic regression and binary logistic regression. Results show that 51.6% of respondents have good behavior regarding zero waste and 50.8% have positive attitude towards zero waste lifestyle. Bivariate analysis shows that students with high perceived benefit (OR 2.12), positive subjective norms (OR 2.36), less perception on barriers (OR 2.63) and positive moral value (OR 2.37) are more likely to perform zero waste behavior (p<0.05). From multivariate analysis, factors that associated with good behavior are gender (AOR=3.68; 95%CI=1.40-9.70), access to information (AOR=2.39; 95%CI=1.09-5.26), and moral values (AOR=2.23; 95%CI=1.03-4.81). These findings indicate that only half respondents adopting zero waste concept. Education and promotion targeting young generation in shaping values and norms towards the environments can support the adoption of zero waste lifestyle.

Authors: Setiawati Martiwi Diah , Jarzebski Marcin Pawel , Fukushi Kensuke 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Over the last decade, the inevitable rise in temperature has resulted in more extreme heat events in Indonesia, despite very little research being conducted to investigate the heat-related vulnerability of the exposed population. The extreme heat vulnerability index (EHVI) was evaluated in this study to identify the most vulnerable districts to extreme heat events. We used both physical and sociodemographic to assess exposure, population sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. A multivariate analysis was applied from eight indicators to determine the extreme heat vulnerability in the chosen region, namely North Sumatra, East Java and Bali. The EHVI was computed by adding the normalized heat indicators and factor scores from the multivariate analysis. Our findings show that the most vulnerable populations are concentrated in the urban and coastal regions. The sources of vulnerability differed among the selected areas, with urbanization and population density increasing vulnerability in urban areas. These findings are helpful in identifying districts vulnerable to extreme heat and assisting regulatory bodies in developing effective adaptation and preparedness strategies to increase population resilience to excessive heat.

Abstract
Coastal paddy fields are areas that have distinctive land characteristics that affected local wisdom in the paddy cropping calendar. The local wisdom of the coastal paddy planting schedule is a cultural heritage that is aimed to accelerate the planting time, to minimize the risk, to adapt with the optimum planting time or to implement the local paddy varieties. This paper discusses the agro-climatology analysis to provide scientific strengthening to the local wisdom of the coastal paddy cropping calendar in Banyuasin, Kapuas, Tanah Laut, and Kutai Kertanegara Regency. The results of the analysis illustrate that the local wisdom of paddy planting time in Banyuasin is carried out before the beginning of the rainy season to avoid damage when salty water runoff occurs through rob at the critical paddy growth phase. The paddy planting time in Kapuas is done at the peak of the rainy season to avoid acidity poisoning during paddy growth. The paddy planting time in Tanah Laut is carried out before the start of the rainy season to provide the planting season duration with uses the long-lived local varieties. The paddy planting time in Kutai Kertanegara is done at the peak of the rainy season to avoid high salinity levels that have the potential to interfere with paddy growth and production. The information of the rainy season prediction and agro-climatology analysis provides an important role in determining the planting schedule according to local wisdom and rainfall condition in the four districts.

Authors: Pertiwi A P , Saptarini D 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) are plastic particles with sizes between <1 m to 5 mm. Microplastics are known to contaminate the environment and marine organisms. One type of marine organism that is often found on the east coast of the city of Surabaya is Lorjuk, namely bamboo shells or razor clams. Lorjuk is seafood and is known as a typical food of the city of Surabaya. This study aims to determine the potential for microplastic pollution in Lorjuk (Solen sp.) from 3 locations on the east coast of the city of Surabaya. Lorjuk observed were adult Lorjuk with a size of 5-6 cm. With the nature of Lorjuk as an infauna and filter feeder, microplastic observations were also carried out on sediment and water. The number, shape, color, size, and polymer type of microplastics were observed using an optical microscope and FTIR spectrophotometer. MPs were found in all samples of Lorjuk in the three locations, with an average number of 6-7 MPs/ind. The physical characteristics of microplastics indicate that fiber is the dominant form of microplastic (>90%) with the majority being blue. The MPs found in Lorjuk have an average size of 20-40 µm with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) polymer. The results of the Pearson correlation test showed that there was an effect of the relationship between the number of microplastics found in Lorjuk and microplastics in the environment around where Lorjuk lived (water column and sediment).

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Karang Mumus River is one of the tributaries of Mahakam River in Samarinda. The utilization of this river is mostly for domestic activity and other activities by residents near the riverbank. Based on the regulation of local environmental bureau of Samarinda City, this river is not in accordance with the quality standards since some water quality parameters have reached above the threshold. Thus, it can be said that the Karang Mumus river is not suitable for use. This research was conducted using Karang Mumus River water modeling with the Qual2kw program conducted with the aim of being able to simulate both physical and chemical parameters. The data use both primary and secondary data. Primary data was obtained by sampling and measuring several related parameters to be such as BOD, COD, DO, NH4 and TSS. The capacity of Karang Mumus River pollution load for TSS was 218.93 kg/day, BOD was 15.17 kg/day, COD was 127.1 kg/day and NH4 was 2.46 kg/day. Pollution load capacity of the Karang Mumus River has exceeded the value that has been determined. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the pollution load so that the river can function properly as intended.
Functional implications of multiseriate cortical sclerenchyma for soil resource capture and crop improvement
Authors: Schneider Hannah M 
Published: October 2022

AbstractSuboptimal nutrient and water availability are primary constraints to crop growth. Global agriculture requires crops with greater nutrient and water efficiency. Multiseriate cortical sclerenchyma (MCS), a root anatomical trait characterized by small cells with thick cell walls encrusted with lignin in the outer cortex, has been shown to be an important trait for adaptation in maize and wheat in mechanically impeded soils. However, MCS has the potential to improve edaphic stress tolerance in a number of different crop taxa and in a number of different environments. This review explores the functional implications of MCS as an adaptive trait for water and nutrient acquisition and discusses future research perspectives on this trait for incorporation into crop breeding programs. For example, MCS may influence water and nutrient uptake, resistance to pests, symbiotic interactions, microbial interactions in the rhizosphere and soil carbon deposition. Root anatomical phenotypes are underutilized; however, important breeding targets for the development of efficient, productive and resilient crops urgently needed in global agriculture.
miRNome-transcriptome analysis unveils the key regulatory pathways involved in the tumorigenesis of tongue squamous cell carcinoma

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) is considered the most common malignant tumor among the oral squamous cell carcinomas with a poor prognosis. Understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms that underpin TSCC and its treatments is the focus of the research. Deregulated expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) has recently been implicated in various biological processes linked to cancer. Therefore, in this study, we attempted to investigate miRNAs and their targets expressed in TSCC, which could be involved in its oncogenesis. We performed next-generation sequencing of small RNAs and transcriptomes in H357 TSCC cell line and human oral keratinocytes as a control to find miRNAs and mRNAs that are differentially expressed (DE), which were then supplemented with additional expression datasets from databases, yielding 269 DE miRNAs and 2094 DE genes. The target prediction followed by pathway and disease function analysis revealed that the DE targets were significantly associated with the key processes and pathways, such as apoptosis, epithelial–mesenchymal transition, endocytosis and vascular endothelial growth factor signaling pathways. Furthermore, the top 12 DE targets were chosen based on their involvement in more than one cancer-related pathway, of which 6 genes are targeted by miR-128-3p. Real-time quantitative PCR validation of this miRNA and its targets in H357 and SCC9 TSCC cells confirmed their possible targeting from their reciprocal expression, with MAP2K7 being a critical target that might be involved in oncogenesis and progression of TSCC by acting as a tumor suppressor. Further research is underway to understand how miR-128-3p regulates oncogenesis in TSCC via MAP2K7 and associated pathways.
