    Indonesia is known worldwide as an archipelagic country with a vast territory and a country consisting of many islands. The length of the coastline reaches about 81,000 km2, so Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world with two thirds of its territory consisting of oceans. One of the efforts that need to be conducted is to improve the economy and accelerate the development of the marine sector. With this policy, the security of marine and marine resource management is very important. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and continental foundation are vital areas that need to be guarded and guaranteed for the benefit of maritime sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia.The development of science and technology of remote sensing, LAPAN in cooperation with IPB to make satellite LAPAN / IPB-A3 or A3LISat. These satellites serve as monitoring of paddy field resources. These satellites are orbiting 14 times a day in the territory of Indonesia is equipped with MS (Automatic Identification System) sensor where the sensor is to monitor the mobility of the ship. The MS sensor can provide location coordinate information and temporarily obtain ships vessel information in Indonesian seas. This research tried to utilize the MS sensor and combined with PFZ (Potential Fishing Zone) information result of remote sensing data and analyzes the mobility of fishing boats recorded by A3 satellite whether it is in accordance with the PFZ information extracted from remote sensing satellite LISat data. 1. Introduction [1] National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN) is always working to improve product quality and information technology in the field of aviation and space to create an advanced and independent Indonesia. LAPAN effort is to bring technology is satellite LAPAN A2 and A3 (LISAT) LAPAN IPB Satellite. The satellite is fully the result of work of the nation and made in Indonesia. The objective of LAPAN-A2 satellite project is to achieve the design, integration and operation of micro satellite in Indonesia. LAPAN-A2 main mission is Earth Observation (video/matrix RGB camera surveillance). In addition to that the satellite carry AIS (Automatic Identification System) receiver to monitor maritime traffic, a reaction wheel made by LAPAN (LPN-001) for space proofing, and an amateur radio Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS), as well as amateur radio voice repeater, for Indonesian Amateur Radio Organization (ORARI). [2] The LAPAN-A3/IPB, also referred to as LISat, is a cooperative remote sensing microsatellite project between LAPAN (National Institute of Aeronautics and Space of Indonesia) Jakarta and IPB (Bogor Agricultural University or Institute Pertanian Bogor) located in Bogor, Indonesia.6 hlm

    Changing Training Needs of Port Workers Due to Future Trends

    AbstractThe operating environment in ports has changed considerably during the past decades. The public ownership is decreased at the same time when the private international operators have taken bigger involvement in business. The technological development has been rapid. Vessel sizes increase all the time, the share of container cargo increases and due to the cargo handling automation the cargo is handled much faster. As a result of more globalized trade, the containers handled in the port have much more variety regarding to their geographical origin or destination. The development of port operations has posed new requirements for port workers. The traditional port worker requirements were ability to do heavy physical work in a group. Due to automation, the work requires less physical strength. In addition, the work is increasingly done in small group without supervisor's presence or completely alone. As the number of handled cargo per worker has increased and the variety of the origins of the cargo has increased, the probability that some threats emerge has also grown. Therefore, nowadays part of the port work is the ability to observe exceptions and decide whether these should be reported before the threats become crisis situation, as an example of changed working requirement. The purpose of this paper is to propose how the recent and future trends of the port operations affects for the education and training needs of port workers in Europe. The question is addressed at first by studying status quo of port worker conditions in the European port sector and then evaluating the development of Finnish educational system by using case study research methodology. In Finland, 80–90% of the foreign trade is transported via ports making Finland as suitable case. Case study research included qualitative research methods such as interviews. In addition, the Finnish system is compared with the systems of other European countries and ILO regulations. As a result, this paper considers pros and cons of harmonizing port work education and training in European Union countries

    Improving the Security of Containers in Port Related Supply Chains

    AbstractAn increasing part of goods are transported using containers. Containers are the most vulnerable when static, and hence ports and other terminals are key locations in insuring the integrity of containers. Container transport chain monitoring is needed both for supply chain management and security reasons. Authorities demand increased freight visibility in order to assure compliance with the regulations and to avoid import of illicit goods. The paper discusses the technological possibilities to improve the integrity of containers in port related supply chains. Possible solutions are adding monitoring equipment, such as e-seals and tracking devices, monitoring the environment using cameras, improved gate processes. The optimal use of these technologies requires sharing of information between different stakeholders. Based on the assessment of the different measures, a set of recommendations to improve container security related to the implementation of the technologies will be provided

    Comprehensive study of a neglected contact binary TYC 5532-1333-1

    A comprehensive photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the variable TYC 5532-1333-1 (TYC) along with an investigation of its orbital period variation is presented for the first time. The B- and V-band photometric study indicates that TYC is an intermediate contact binary with degree of contact and mass ratio of 34 per cent and similar to 0.24, respectively. The derived equivalent widths from the spectroscopic study of H alpha and Na-I lines reveal phase-dependent variation and mutual correlation. Using the available times of minimum light, an investigation of orbital period variation shows a long-term decrease at a rate of 3.98 x 10(-6) d yr(-1). Expected causes for such decline in the orbital period could be angular momentum loss and a quasi-sinusoidal variation due to light-time effect probably caused by a third-body companion. The minimum mass of the third body (M-3) was derived to be 0.65 M-circle dot. Our presented study is an attempt to evaluate and understand the evolutionary state of above-mentioned neglected contact binary

    Abstract Mucosal influenza vaccines may provide improved protection against infection and transmission, but their development is hindered by absence of immune correlates of protection. Here, we report a randomized, controlled phase I trial of a recombinant influenza A/H5 (A/Indonesia/05/2005, clade 2.1) hemagglutinin vaccine formulated with a nanoemulsion adjuvant (W805EC). The vaccine is administered intranasally in two doses 28 days apart at three antigen levels. Controls receive unadjuvanted H5 or placebo. Six months later, participants receive an intramuscular boost with unadjuvanted inactivated A/H5N1 (A/Vietnam/1203/2004, clade 1) vaccine. Primary outcomes are solicited and unsolicited adverse events (AEs), laboratory safety abnormalities, medically-attended AEs, potential immune-mediated conditions, new-onset chronic conditions, and serious AEs. All vaccines are well tolerated. After the intranasal series, hemagglutination inhibition and microneutralization responses are minimal. However, adjuvanted H5 recipients show significant increases in mucosal and serum IgG/IgA, surface plasmon resonance antibody binding, memory B and CD4 T cell activity, and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Following H5N1 boost, participants mount robust responses across measurements and have microneutralization responses against diverse H5N1 clades (including circulating clade 2.3.4.4b). Findings demonstrate successful mucosal priming and broad cross-clade responses. This intranasal vaccine supports further exploration of mucosal immune biomarkers and may accelerate development of intranasal influenza vaccines. ClinicalTrials.gov registration: NCT0539711
