Handling Strategies for Areas and Slums Settlements with the Implementation of Sustainable Development Goals in Mojokerto Regency, Indonesia
Get PDFThe new direction in the current development process is the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The concept of sustainable development is organised into four dimensions: economic, social, environmental and institutional. The Sustainable Development Goals have 17 goals and several indicators for their measurement. The United Nations (UN) 2015 formulated these 17 points of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to overcome the problems that exist in the world. One of the goals contained in the SDG's is goal No 11, namely Sustainable Cities and Communities. One of the world problems discussed in this goal is slums found in Target 11.1 points, namely: "Ensure access to decent, safe and affordable housing and basic services for all and improve the quality of slums". This research method uses mixed methods and then solves with qualitative because it can produce a study of existing phenomena. In this case, case studies greatly help handle settlements and slums in other places and different handling methods as a comparative study. Mojokerto's success in addressing slums in Kedungmaling Village was achieved through strategic integration of various aspects: involving the community as active actors and working group formers, intensive on-the-ground mentoring with facilitators, land management without eviction while consolidating public spaces, strong commitment from local institutions, and program integration through DAK Integration and funding collaboration. This approach, which is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's), not only targets local solutions but also steers Mojokerto towards international standards of slum upgrading, making a significant impact at both local and national levels
Utilisation and Preference of Contraceptives among Women of Reproductive Age in Rural Communities of Jos North, Plateau State, Nigeria
Get PDFDespite the high population growth and fertility rate of women in Nigeria, contraceptive prevalence is one of the lowest in the world at 15%; however, every year, nearly 16 million teenagers aged 15-19 years give birth, and 95% of these births take place in resource-limited countries. Contraception is the act of intentionally preventing pregnancy using various devices such as good sexual practices, chemicals, drugs, or surgical procedures. This study aimed to assess the utilisation and contraceptive preference among women of reproductive age in Jos North, Plateau State, Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey that adopts the multi-staged sampling technique to select 396 women and data collected through an informed structured questionnaire between September 2021 to March 2022 and after that analysed with the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 21 presented in contingency tables, charts and percentages while inferential statistical analysis was done using Spearman Rho ranked order correlation to test for statistical significance of variables based on p<0.05. Most (84.8%) of the respondents were married, and 40.2% fell between 20-29. Most (88.1%) women had one form of formal education.Similarly, 95.4% of their partners had formal education, indicating that most had secondary school education as their highest educational qualification, and so did their partners. In comparison, most (93.4%) of the respondent women had between 1-5 children per family, with the majority (44.9%) having either one or two children, of which 89.9% had used family planning methods before with 71.0% of them currently using these methods rated to be moderately good. In comparison, the majority (81.3%) of the participants had plans to continue using these methods. This study revealed that rural women of reproductive age in the Jos North Local government area have been using, would still and intend to use contraceptives in the future to prevent maternal morbidity. The choices made by them preferred the hormonal injection methods as a matter of priority to increase the satisfactory utilisation of planned parenthood. Thus, nurses should be aware of particularly the preferred contraceptive choice of the women in rendering health care services to improve their level of utilisation
Advancements in Low-Emission Refining Technologies for Petroleum Products in Nigeria
Get PDFThis review explores advancements in refining technologies to reduce emissions and mitigate the environmental impact of petroleum production. Refining processes contribute approximately 4-6% of global industrial CO2 emissions. Recent innovations, such as advanced catalysts, have demonstrated the ability to decrease harmful pollutants like sulfur and nitrogen oxides by 20-40%. Carbon capture technologies have also shown the capacity to capture up to 90% of CO2 emissions in controlled environments. Improvements in refinery energy efficiency and the integration of cleaner energy sources have reduced energy consumption by 10-15%, contributing to overall emissions reductions of up to 25%.Furthermore, using bio-based feedstocks in refining processes has emerged as a promising alternative, potentially reducing emissions by 50-70% and offering environmental and waste management benefits. However, adopting these low-emission technologies comes with challenges, as implementation can raise operating costs by 10-30%, depending on the refinery's scale and existing infrastructure. Despite these challenges, public and private investments and government policies incentivising cleaner practices are crucial to advancing these technologies. In conclusion, while progress in refining technologies has been significant, more research and development, combined with increased funding and more robust regulatory frameworks, are necessary to scale these innovations and make petroleum refining more sustainable in the long term. Adopted widely, these technologies can transform the sector, reduce its environmental footprint, and align with global climate objectives
Application of Circular Economy to Natural Coagulation / Flocculation of Surface Water: A Review
Get PDFWater treatment is one of the most researched areas due to water resources' importance for humans and the environment. Surface water pollution seems unavoidable because of increasing industrialization, which results in wastewater discharge into surface water bodies. Coagulation/flocculation is one of the practical approaches used in surface water treatment. However, the drawbacks of conventional chemical coagulants have been the main challenges that prompted research towards finding greener and sustainable alternatives such as natural coagulants. This review was intended to briefly glance at the natural coagulation/flocculation of surface water, the components of plant-based materials responsible for their coagulation activities and the circular economy of water. The review results showed that phytochemicals responsible for various coagulating activities include tannin, saponin, d-galactose, d-rhamnose, d-xylose, l-arabinose and galacturonic acid. In addition, these compounds function through different mechanisms. Also, the function of the active coagulants is related to the presence of specific functional groups. The review also indicates that the research on applying natural coagulants for surface water treatment is rapidly increasing globally. However, very few pieces of work were reported from Africa. Thus, more work needs to be done in this region. Furthermore, the circular economy of surface water related to natural coagulation/flocculation needs the attention of researchers as this approach can help manage surface water resources sustainably

Physicochemical and Bacteriological Analysis of Ebe River Water Used for Drinking in Amede Community, Eha-Amufu, Southeast Nigeria
Get PDFWater is an important natural resource that plays vital roles in maintaining and sustaining life. Drinking water pollution is common in poor societies and it poses a serious challenge to public health. Polluted water can contain high levels of heavy metals that can cause critical health problems and also serve as vehicles for the transmission of several pathogens. Ebe River is the major source of drinking water in Amede community and its environment is extensively polluted. This study evaluated some physicochemical parameters and bacteriological quality of Ebe river water using standard methods. A total of 15 samples were taken from five study sites and analyzed during the dry season. The physicochemical parameters analyzed were within the maximum permitted range by the World Health Organization and Nigerian Standard for Drinking Water Quality except turbidity (3.77±0.15-7.10±0.20 NTU), Mg (24.33±0.70-31.60±0.92 mg/L), SO4 (118.90±2.27-136.17±2.30 mg/L), Zn (2.41±0.02-5.02±0.09 mg/L), Fe (1.14±0.00-2.19±0.18 mg/L), Pb (0.04±0.01-0.13±0.01 mg/L), Cd (0.01±0.01-0.03±0.08 mg/L) and Mn (0.11±0.01-0.19±0.02 mg/L). The presence of high concentrations of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and manganese (Mn) in the river water is a serious concern because these chemicals can cause critical health problems. Total heterotrophic bacteria count ranged from 9.1x104±2.52-1.16x105±7.37 cfu/ml, faecal coliform ranged from 4.33±0.58-10.33±0.58 cfu/100ml and total coliform ranged from 17.33±1.16-31.33±4.73 cfu/100ml. Pseudomonas, Shigella and Salmonella counts ranged from 9.33±0.58-28.67±2.08 cfu/100ml, 2.33±0.58-5.67±0.58 cfu/100ml and 2.11±0.01-3.00±1.00 cfu/100ml. Vibrio spp. was not detected. Pseudomonas spp. and Escherichia coli were isolated in all the 15 samples analyzed (100% occurrence). The percentage occurrence of Salmonella spp. was 60% and this was same with Shigella spp. The result generally indicate that water from Ebe River; also called Ebonyi River is of poor quality and unsafe for human consumption
Comparison of the Republic of Indonesia ITE Law No 19 Of 2016 with PDP Law No 27 of 2022 and the Role of the Police in Handling Cases Of Personal Data Dissemination (Doxing)
Get PDFAs technology and information develop, regulations and laws are forced to govern the relationship between individuals and individuals in cyberspace. The emergence of Indonesian Republic Law No 19 of 2016 and the Personal Data Protection Law in Article No 27 of 2022 illustrates that the Indonesian government is also involved in maintaining order in Indonesian society on social media. However, what are the differences and similarities between the two laws in tackling the crime of doxing? Then, what is the role of the police in handling the criminal act of doxing in Indonesia? Law No 19 of 2016 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions and Law No 27 of 2022 regarding Personal Data Protection have a similar function in preventing the criminal act of spreading personal data (doxing). In the personal data protection law, suppose the ITE law discusses Electronic Documents and Electronic Information such as images, videos, and sound documents. In that case, the regulation discusses formal data such as genetic data, address, family, etc. The two laws complement each other, and both function as an effort to protect the public from the criminal act of spreading personal data (doxing). In the context of law enforcement officials, the police are currently very good at handling cybercrime because they are assisted by the presence of 11 sophisticated data forensic laboratories and other supporting tools, in harmony with the presence of qualified human resources to deal with cybercrime cases
Development of Korfball Basic Skills Test Instrument
Get PDFKorfball is a sport similar to netball and basketball. This sport aims to throw the ball into a basket without a net mounted on a 3.5-meter (11.5-foot) high pole. This game uses techniques or skills that are not very different from basketball, namely passing, shooting, rebounding, etc. Mastery of this material will significantly help increase the effectiveness of the quality of regeneration of korfball athletes. Therefore, researchers want to make an instrument product that contains essential korfball skill test items. Korfball basic skill test instruments have previously been created in several regions in Indonesia, but the Korfball basic skill test is considered imperfect. The test to be developed is a set of basic korfball skill test instruments for adult players, including a shooting skill test, a passing skill test, a skill test to catch the ball from the basket (rebound), and a pivot skill test. Developing basic skill test instruments in korfball will contribute to players measuring basic korfball skills and knowing the development of basic skills and abilities. This study aims to determine the results of the development of the Korfball primary skills test instrument and to find out the results of the basic skills of Aceh Korfball athletes. The research method used is Borg and Gall's Research and Development (R&D) method, which uses ten steps/stages of research. The subjects of this study were ten small groups and 31 large groups. Data were collected using questionnaires and field test testees. Then, the data values were processed by calculating percentages. After collecting data by analysing the needs assessment, as much as 55.44% stated yes, and 44.56% said no. This product was continued based on the need assessment that had been carried out. Based on the data that has been generated and the products developed, it can be concluded that this development product is declared very much needed and can be continued at the next stage
