    No full text
    The mangrove coastal area of Sei Naga Lawan Village is one of the coastal ecosystems in Serdang Bedagai Regency that has considerable fish resource potential but is increasingly subjected to environmental pressures due to human activities and changes in water quality. This study aimed to determine fish biodiversity and analyze the relationship between physicochemical water parameters and fish community structure in the mangrove coastal waters of Sei Naga Lawan Village. The research was conducted from July to August 2025 using a field survey method at three sampling stations determined by random purposive sampling. Fish samples were collected using hand lines, fish traps, and gill nets, while water quality parameters measured included temperature, water transparency, depth, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), and salinity. Data analysis consisted of relative abundance, diversity index (H’), evenness index (E), dominance index (C), and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The results showed that a total of 25 fish species belonging to two classes, Actinopterygii and Chondrichthyes, were recorded during the study. The species with the highest relative abundance at all sampling stations were Johnius carouna and Johnius trachycephalus. The diversity index values at the three stations were classified as low, ranging from 1.17 to 1.32, while the evenness index ranged from low to moderate (0.43–0.48), and the dominance index was categorized as low (0.40–0.44). Water quality parameters indicated that temperature and salinity were within the tolerance range for marine biota; however, pH and dissolved oxygen levels were below the established marine water quality standards. PCA results revealed that physicochemical parameters, particularly temperature, depth, and dissolved oxygen, were associated with fish abundance and biodiversity patterns. This study provides essential baseline information to support sustainable management and conservation of fish resources in the mangrove coastal area of Sei Naga Lawan Village.76 PagesSkripsi Sarjan

    No full text
    Children constitute a vulnerable group that is entitled to protection from all forms of violence, including sexual violence, and the increasing number of cases in Toba Regency indicates that legal and social protection has not been optimally implemented, thereby emphasizing the importance of the role of the Office of Community and Village Empowerment, Women, and Child Protection (DPMDP and PA). The issues examined in this thesis, entitled The Role of the Office of Community and Village Empowerment, Women, and Child Protection (DPMDP and PA) in Providing Protection for Child Victims of Sexual Violence in Toba Regency, include: the regulation of criminal acts of sexual violence against children under Indonesian criminal law, the implementation of the role of DPMDP and PA of Toba Regency in providing protection for child victims of sexual violence, as well as the obstacles encountered and efforts undertaken in the implementation of such protection. This research employs a normative juridical method supported by empirical data, is descriptive-analytical in nature, and applies qualitative analysis techniques to primary and secondary data. The results of the study indicate that the legal regulation of sexual violence against children has developed comprehensively through the 2023 Criminal Code, the Child Protection Law, the Pornography Law, and the Law on Sexual Violence Crimes, while at the regional level the DPMDP and PA of Toba Regency has carried out prevention, handling, and rehabilitation efforts; however, these efforts still face obstacles in the form of limited human resources, budget constraints, inadequate facilities and infrastructure, low public awareness, and weak inter-agency coordination, thus requiring strengthened commitment from the local government and the development of a more integrated and sustainable child protection system.118 PagesSkripsi Sarjan

    No full text
    This research discusses the legal strength of debt acknowledgment letters as evidence in money lending and borrowing agreements, especially in Decision Study No. 371/Pdt.G/2024/PN Mdn. A debt acknowledgment letter is a deed containing a unilateral statement from the debtor regarding the obligation to pay a certain amount of money to the creditor within a certain period of time, which can be made privately or in the form of a notarial deed. The main problems in this research include, the position of a debt acknowledgment letter with a guarantee of land rights in the material security legal system in Indonesia, the legal consequences for the debtor if they default based on the debt acknowledgment letter, and an analysis of the judge's considerations regarding the legal strength of the debt acknowledgment letter in Decision No. 371/Pdt.G/2024/PN Mdn. The research method used in this research is a normative legal research method. The nature of the research in this study is descriptive. The approach is based on a statutory approach and a case approach. The data collection technique is by means of library research by analyzing and studying systematically supported by primary, secondary and tertiary material sources, then analyzed qualitatively by drawing conclusions deductively. Based on the research results that have been obtained, it can be concluded that debt acknowledgment letters made privately only have limited evidentiary power and cannot be executed immediately, whereas those made before a notary have executorial power, the legal consequences for debtors who are in default include obligations such as paying compensation, interest, fines, canceling the agreement, up to the execution of material guarantees, and in Decision No. 371/Pdt.G/2024/PN Mdn, the judge considered the debt acknowledgment letter valid as evidence, stated that the debtor was in default, and sentenced the debtor to pay the remaining debt along with material losses.115 PagesSkripsi Sarjan

    No full text
    This study aims to obtain endophytic yeasts isolated from pineapple (Ananas comosus) fruit flesh and to evaluate their potential for indole acetic acid (IAA) production and phosphate solubilization. The yeasts were isolated using a dilution method on malt extract agar medium and characterized morphologically. The production of IAA by each yeast isolate was observed qualitatively using Salkowski reagent and the potential of the hormone as a plant growth was examined on root of Coleus sp. Phosphate solubilization was determined based on the formation of a clear zone surrounding yeast colonies on Pikovskaya’s medium. The result found six yeast isolates were observed with varying colony characteristics, both morphologically and microscopically. The yeast with the highest IAA production was found on isolate YEAC-03 with a concentration of 0.627 mg/L. Indole acetic acid produced by all yeast isolates have significant effect root length and no effect on roots number. Yeast isolate YEAC-06, produce IAA 0.320 mg/L capable of producing longer roots than the others. Yeast isolate YEAC-06 (3.05) was the highest phosphate solubilization index followed by isolate YEAC-05 (3.00). The ability of endophytic yeast to produce IAA and to dissolve phosphate indicate their potential to be used as a root stimulant and biofertilizer for plants growth.56 PagesSkripsi Sarjan

    Problems of Eliminating Expenditure Obligations and Optimizing Performance Based Health Budgetting in Law Number 17 of 2023 Concerning Health

    No full text
    Health funding is a key factor in the provision of quality health services. Therefore, funding mechanisms must be able to encourage effective and efficient budget use. In Indonesia, the transition from expenditure obligations to Performance Based Health Budgeting has generated considerable discussion due to concerns about the potential neglect of health sector funding. Therefore, this paper will examine issues related to the correlation between expenditure obligations in health funding and the protection of citizens' rights to health services, the problematic elimination of expenditure obligations in Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health, and the optimization of performance-based health budgeting in Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health. The research method used in this study is normative juridical, with a statutory regulatory approach, a historical approach, and a conceptual approach. This research is descriptive and analytical, and the data used are secondary data consisting of primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and tertiary legal materials. Data collection techniques were conducted through literature review, followed by qualitative analysis. This research shows that expenditure obligations in health funding have a very close correlation with the protection of citizens' rights to health services. Therefore, eliminating expenditure obligations creates problems because it has the potential to lead to neglect of health funding and weaken the state's role in providing budget certainty for the health sector. However, in the context of health budget management reform, performance-based budgeting is the right choice as long as it is supported by strict regulations. Therefore, to optimize performance-based budgeting in health funding in Indonesia, the government needs to provide clear guidelines for developing a health master plan and regional mapping to determine prioritized budget areas, and strengthen health budget evaluation mechanisms.138 PagesSkripsi Sarjan

    The current increasing population growth will increase development, especially residential development. Population growth leads to surface and groundwater pollution due to limited sanitation and domestic waste management. Households generally use septic tanks to manage domestic wastewater, but these often do not comply with SNI regulations, potentially contaminating shallow groundwater. Due to these issues, the authors conducted a laboratory-scale simulation of septic tank wastewater distribution in andosol soil. This simulation was conducted using a 100 cm x 100 cm x 40 cm glass box. The purpose of this study was to determine the spread distance, travel time, and flow rate of septic tank wastewater horizontally and vertically in a glass box. The spread simulation was carried out with a test scale between the laboratory and existing conditions of 1:10. The physical properties of the soil were tested, the concentration of Escherichia coli and Ammonia (NH3N) contaminant parameters, and the concentration of contaminants based on distance and time. The number of samples tested was 20 points arranged diagonally. The results of the soil physical properties test include; soil specific gravity value of 2.6505%, plastic limit of 10.985%, liquid limit of 36.697%, plastic index of 25.712%, sieve analysis of 17.265%, water content of 20.42%, and permeability value of 5.966x 10-5 cm/s. The results of the Escherichia coli concentration test at the closest distance from the source of the spread of 18.3 x 107 (CFU/100 ml) and the furthest distance of 6.2 x 107 (CFU/100 ml) with a percentage decrease of 66%. The concentration of Ammonia (NH3N) at the closest distance from the source of the spread of 4.2 (mg/L) and the furthest distance of 1.1 (mg/L) with a percentage decrease of 74%. The simulation results of the vertical distribution of septic tank wastewater in a glass box as far as 20 cm requires 236 minutes (3 hours 56 minutes) with an infiltration rate of 5.56 cm/hour and horizontal distribution in a glass box at a distance of 80 cm requires a distribution travel time of 505 minutes (8 hours 25 minutes) with a speed/flow rate of septic tank water distribution of 9.2 x 10-3 Liters/minute.88 PagesSkripsi Sarjan

    The Effect of Various Concentrations of BAP and NAA on In Vitro Shoot Multiplication of Red Barangan Banana (Musa acuminate colla).

    No full text
    The Barangan banana (Musa acuminate Colla) originates from North Sumatra and is distributed throughout Indonesia. The main problem in banana cultivation is the availability of seeds. Banana plants are generally propagated by suckers, making it difficult to obtain large numbers of seeds in a relatively short time. The resulting seeds are not uniform and are not free from pests and diseases. In vitro plant culture is a rapid method for plant propagation in an aseptic environment. This method can produce high-quality plants with characteristics consistent with the parent plant and free from pests and diseases. This study aims to determine the effect of various concentrations of BAP and NAA in MS medium on shoot multiplication of red Barangan banana (Musa acuminate colla). This research was conducted at the Biotechnology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, University of North Sumatra, from June to October 2025. A completely randomized design (CRD) was used with two factors. The first factor was the concentration of benzyl aminopurine (BAP): B0 (0 ppm), B1 (4 ppm), and B2 (6 ppm). The second factor was the concentration of naphthalene acetic acid (NAA): N0 (0 ppm), N1 (1 ppm), and N2 (2 ppm). Parameters observed in this study included the percentage of live explants (%), age at shoot emergence, number of shoots, shoot length, number of roots, root length, and number of leaves. The results showed that the BAP concentration significantly affected the age at shoot emergence, number of shoots, and number of leaves. The interaction between BAP and NAA significantly affected shoot length, number of roots, and root length.68 pagesSkripsi Sarjan
