AbstrakBencana alam dapat terjadi kapan saja dan dimana saja, terutama di daerah yang rawan bencana seperti daerah pesisir pantai, lereng gunung berapi, dan lain sebagainya. Salah satu wilayah di Jawa Tengah yang rawan akan bencana adalah Kabupaten Klaten. Oleh sebab itu BPBD (Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah) Klaten dan bekerjasama dengan tim SAR Klaten terus menerus menghimbau masyarakat akan sigap dalam menghadapi bencana. Masyarakat pada umumnya menyerap informasi yang disampaikan oleh BPBD dan tim SAR Klaten melalui komunikasi langsung ataupun melalui sosial media. Namun masyarakat yang mempunyai kebutuhan khusus seperti penyandang disabilitas memiliki cara tersendiri dalam berkomunikasi dan menyerap informasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode survey. Pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode survey dipilih karena mampu memaparkan bagaimana respon masyarakat melalui data yang diperoleh dari responden. Populasi dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 102 orang, setelah dihitung dengan rumus Slovin maka diperoleh sampel sebanyak 50 responden. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa respon masyarakat penyandang disabilitas sesuai dengan perhitungan olah data menunjukkan nilai mean sebesar 3.45 yang mengacu pada indikator ‘setuju’. Respon mereka terbilang baik serta mampu memberikan feedback yang positif kepada BPBD dan tim SAR Klaten.Kata Kunci: komunikasi krisis, bencana, masyarakat disabilitas AbstractsNatural disasters can happen anytime and anywhere, especially in disaster-prone areas such as coastal areas, slopes of volcanoes, etc. One of the areas in Central Java will be prone to disaster is Klaten. Therefore, BPBD (Regional Disaster Relief Agency) Klaten and in cooperation with Rescue team Klaten continuously appealed to society will be sprightly in the face of disaster. The general societies areusually absorbing any information submitted by BPBD and Rescue team Klaten through direct communication or through social media. But the disabled community have certain own way to communicate and absorb information. This research uses a quantitative approach with survey methods for its ability to interpret community’s responses through questionnaires. Population in this study amounted to 102 peoples, as calculated by the Slovin’s the obtained sample of 50 respondents. The results indicate that response of disabled community in accordance with the calculation data shows the value of mean is3.45 and indicator of that value which refers to ' agree '. The community’s responses prove that they have positive feedback toward BPBD and Rescue team Klaten.Keywords: crisis communication, disaster, disabilities people

Data obtained from licenses of spearfishers and surveys conducted in 2004 and 2017 allowed for the analysis, for the first time, of the practice of spearfishing in the Madeira archipelago. Only a small percentage of the population practices spearfishing, mostly local young men. Most of them practice the activity with a partner throughout most of the year and along most of the island's coastal areas, although preferentially along the North and Southeast coast. Results show how, in recent years, despite the population of spearfishers decreasing, the abundance in the annual catch potentially increased, probably due to the higher investment of time in this activity. It has been observed that many fishers complement their catches with manual collecting of invertebrates. Overall, 40 teleost fishes and also 4 crustaceans and 8 molluscs were identified. The most frequently captured fish species were parrotfish and white seabream, while limpets were the most collected invertebrates in both selected periods.

Hormonal treatment of cows at the coastal region of Barisal district of Bangladesh was performed to assess the improvement of pregnancy rate. A total of 100 cows and heifers with irregular history of cyclicity were selected randomly and divided into five treatment groups. The groups were A (treated with anthelmintic), B (treated with anthelmintic, vitamin ADE and multivitamin powder), C (treated with PGF2α), D (treated with GnRH) and E (treated with GnRH and PGF2α). Each group comprised of 20 animals. The age, breed and parity of experimental cows were considered during treatment. In the study, the cows treated with both GnRH and PGF2α (group E) showed significantly (p<0.05) higher estrus (80%) and pregnancy rate (60%) than that of group A, B, C and D. The overall estrus rates of local and crossbred cows were 64% and 70%, respectively and the pregnancy rates were 40 and 52%, respectively. The crossbred cows responded significantly (p<0.05) to hormonal treatment than that of local cows. Parity-2 cows showed higher estrus sign than that of other parities. However, the pregnancy rates were higher significantly (p<0.05) in parity-2 and parity ≥4 cows than that of parity-0, parity-1 and parity-3 cows. The pregnancy rate was also found higher in case of 4 to <5 years old cows than that of 2 to <3, 3 to <4, 5 to <6, and ≥6 years old. It may conclude that the hormonal regimen increases the pregnancy rate as well as decreases the undesired waiting of estrus and conception. Further study with more sample size will reveal the more effective treatment for cows at the coastal areas of Bangladesh.

Objective: This article describes and analyzes the main concepts of coastal ecosystems, these as a result of research concerning land-use change assessments in coastal areas. Design/Methodology/Approach: Scientific articles were searched using keywords in English and Spanish. Articles regarding land-use change assessment in coastal areas were selected, discarding those that although being on coastal zones and geographic and soil identification did not use Geographic Information System (GIS). Results: A GIS is a computer-based tool for evaluating the land-use change in coastal areas by quantifying variations. It is analyzed through GIS and its contributions; highlighting its importance and constant monitoring. Limitations of the study/Implications: This research analyzes national and international scientific information, published from 2007 to 2019, regarding the land-use change in coastal areas quantified with the digital GIS tool. Findings/Conclusions: GIS are useful tools in the identification and quantitative evaluation of changes in land-use in coastal ecosystems; which require constant evaluation due to their high dynamism.

Malaysia has an abundance of biomass resources that can be utilised for power generation. One of them is paddy residue. Paddy residue creates ahuge potential in the power generation sector. The consumption of paddy residue can help Malaysia become less dependent on conventional sources of energy, mitigate greenhouse gas(GHG) emission, offer positive feedback in the economic sector, and at the same time, provide thebest solution for waste management activities. The forecast datafor 20 years on electricity generation wasused to calculate the GHG emission and its saving when paddy residue is used for electricity generation. The government’scost saving was also identified when paddy residue substituted coal fuel in electricity generation.This paper can provide forecast information so that Malaysia is able to move forward to apply paddy residue as feedstock in energy supply. Hopefully, the data achieved can encourage stakeholder bodies in the implementation of paddy residue inelectricity generation since there is apositive impact towardscost and emission saving.
