The Impact

Natural geological conditions together with the impact of human activities could produce environmental problems due to high As concentrations. The aim of this study was to assess the role of epipsammic biofilm-sediment systems onto As (V) sorption and to evaluate the effect of the presence of equimolar P concentrations on As retention. A natural biofilm was grown on sediment samples in the laboratory, using river water as nutrient supplier. Sorption experiments with initial As concentrations 0, 5, 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500 μg L−1were performed. The average percentage of As sorbed was78.9±3.5and96.9±6.6% for the sediment and biofilm-sediment systems, respectively. Phosphate decreased by 25% the As sorption capactity in the sediment devoid of biofilm, whereas no significant effect was observed in the systems with biofilm. Freundlich, Sips, and Toth models were the best to describe experimental data. The maximum As sorption capacity of the sediment and biofilm-sediment systems was, respectively, 6.6 and 6.8 μg g−1and 4.5 and 7.8 μg g−1in the presence of P. In conclusion, epipsammic biofilms play an important role in the environmental quality of river systems, increasing As retention by the system, especially in environments where both As and P occur simultaneously.

Initial Research

Holocene Foraminiferal fauna at the area of Phan Vinh island, Truong Sa archipelago is relatively abundant and diverse in both taxonomic composition and ecological characteristics. The initial research results have identified 69 species (excluding several ones unidentified) belonging to 42 genera, 25 families and 6 orders. Among them, the representatives of the genera of Calcarina, Amphistegina, Heterostegina, Elphidium, Amphisorus, Marginopora, Sorites, Parasorites, Peneroplis, Archaias, Siphonipheroides, Septotextularia are predominant. They characterized by the shallow, transparent and warm marine environments of the region of Truong Sa archipelago during Holocene. Some problems related to this fauna at the area of Phan Vinh island such as biodiversity of coral-reef ecosystems, stratigraphic and paleogeographical significances, and its role of reef - building are also mentioned in this article. In addition, for the modern Foraminifera in the world, today they are being used as ‘biomarkers’ (bioindicators) in assessing and monitoring environmental quality of coral reef ecosystems in particular and marine environment in general. In Vietnam, this method has not been applied, but in the future, this is one of the methods that should be concerned. In addition, in aquaculture the Foraminifera is also a source of nutrition that should not be ignored.

The Town

Slums are considered as parts of the town were very unproductive, dirty, do not have the potential, not efficient and unobtrusive aesthetics and beauty, where slums are often regarded as the emergence of a variety of deviant behavior, such as crime and other social ills sources. But behind it all, let us look at some areas that initially slum turned into a environmentally friendly, clean, and beautiful.Various programs have been implemented properly, people are still expectedto perform management and maintenance of the environment through pure consciousness in various forms of participation. Enterprises utilizing, foster, and preserve the natural surroundings is a positive effort in improving the quality of housing environment, because if not so then the environment will be back to slum areas.The community empowerment must still be done to maintain, improve, in order to perform maintenance of environmental quality at least equal, or, if feasible quality increases with the active participation of citizens. The success of community empowerment in the management and maintenance of settlements can be seen from the efforts undertaken, such as optimizing the function and role of institutions of formal and non-formal, define and regulate the rights, obligations and responsibilities of citizens, organize and menyelenggaranan allocation, use, supply, maintenance of land and water, and the potential of the natural environment in improving the quality of settlement environment.

These proceedings are the output of the 6th International Conference of Indonesia Forestry Researchers - Stream 1 Emerging Environmental Quality for Better Living (INAFOR 2021 Stream 1) that was organised virtually by the Center for Standardization of Environmental Quality Instruments, Agency for Standardization of Environment and Forestry Instruments, Ministry of Environment and Forestry of Republic of Indonesia on 08 September 2021. The conference was held during the pandemic of covid-19, and due to the international and national travel restriction, the conference was carried out via online platform. The conference presented and discussed the current environmental issues in Indonesia including monitoring of environmental pollution, role of environmental laboratory and set up national standard of environmental monitoring; circular economy and environmental quality management by businesses and relevant activities; mercury pollution, progress of National Action Plan for mercury reduction and elimination as a part of the ratification of Minamata Convention on Mercury; medical wastes and disposal concerning Covid-19 pandemic and antibiotically resistance; domestic waste, hazardous and poisonous materials and wastes; restoration and remediation of contaminated lands; and freshwater litters. The conference arranged into two sessions; they were oral presentations from keynote speakers in the plenary session and scholar presenters in the parallel session. In the first session, the keynote speakers were each allocated 25-30 minutes for presentation and 30 minutes for panel discussion (Q and A). There were four international keynote speakers contributed to the plenary session. Firstly, Prof. Dr. Satoshi Murao represented Daiichi Institute of Technology, Japan, talked about Mercury Reduction from Artisanal Gold Mining Sector. Secondly, Prof. Dr. Seca Gandaseca from University Putra Malaysia presented Water Quality of Tropical Forest Ecosystems. Thirdly, the Director for Performance Evaluation of Hazardous Waste and Non-Hazardous Waste Management of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry of Republic of Indonesia discussed The Regulation of Covid-19 Medical Waste Management in Indonesia. The last, Dr. Nur Sumedi, S.Pi., M.P., as Acting Secretary of Agency for Standardization of Environment and Forestry Instruments, Ministry of Environment and Forestry of Republic of Indonesia discussed The Role of Science and Technology to Support the Improvement of Environmental Quality. In the parallel session, selected papers were presented by scholars in 10 minutes, and followed by 5 minutes discussion. The parallel session was divided into four different meeting room. Two rooms discussed the topic of anthropogenic pressure on environment and COVID-19 related mitigation: one room talked water quality of various ecosystems and another room conferred mercury, lead, and persistent organic pollutants (POPS) contamination. The conference was successfully run via a “Zoom” application meeting. At the plenary session, all participants joined in a plenary meeting “zoom” room. After this session, the participants were then assigned into a “breakout” room based on their academic or professional background. Finally, they re-joined the plenary room for the wrap up and closing ceremony. Lastly, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to the organizing committee and the members of reviewers for their kind assistance in reviewing the papers. We also thank to the chairman, scientific committees, keynote speakers, and all participants. We greatly thanks to the publisher for publishing the selected papers. We are looking forward to the next collaboration. List of Editors are available in this pdf.

This article introduces Cognitive Health Counseling 40+ (CH.CO40+), an individualized intervention that is conceptually based on the orchestration model of quality-of-life management ( Martin & Kliegel, 2010 ) and aims at improving satisfaction with cognitive health in adults aged 40 years and older. We describe the theoretically deduced characteristics of CH.CO40+, its target group, its multifactorial nature, its individualization, the application of subjective and objective measures, the role of participants as agents of change, and the rationale for choosing participants’ satisfaction with their cognitive health as main outcome variable. A pilot phase with 15 middle-aged and six older adults suggests that CH.CO40+ attracts, and may be particularly suitable for, subjective memory complainers. Implications of the pilot data for the further development of the intervention are discussed.
