Water Springs

Abstract Water is a vital component for living, but its distribution is uneven and becomes hard to obtain in some places. Generally, people use water sources from PDAM, rivers, wells, and springs. Springs are often used as a source of water which are used by the community. Unfortunately, the spring and its surrounding area are often disturbed, and their function is changed. Even though several activities have shifted the land cover around the spring area, it affects the spring's water quality. The study aims to find out the condition of the springs which are used by the people at Gowa Regency. The data was collected through a survey, and the spring sampling was carried out purposefully. Furthermore, the data were analyzed descriptively. The study showed that springs are still an important source of water for rural communities. The results showed that the water quality of springs was feasible for household and other purposes. We found that the community seemingly has low awareness of preserving the spring. The area around the spring has been disturbed by community activities that are prone to polluting the springs.

Rembagan River is the main tributary of the Bedadung River in Cangkring Village, Patrang District, Jember Region. Various community activities in the Rembagan River area such as bathing, washing, defecating and urinating as well as agricultural activities will produce domestic and agricultural waste. These wast can cause river water pollution, especially water quality degradation. then the research needs to be done an analysis of the capacity of the Rembagan River in receiving pollution costs. The purpose of this study is to find out how much the ability of the Rembagan River to accept the burden of pollutants using the Streeter-Phelps method. Streeter-Phelps modeling takes into account two phenomena, namely the process of measuring dissolved oxygen (deoxygenation) and the process of increasing dissolved oxygen (reaeration). The results obtained from these calculations are oxygen drop curves determined on the basis of oxygen deficit values. The average values of deoxygenation rate and reoxygenation rate were sequentially 1.58931 mg/L/day and 10.09982 mg/L/day. So that self-purification can run well which means the water quality of the Rembagan River was still relatively good. This can be seen in the DO model pattern that goes up in each segment. The actual DO of 5.6760 mg / L was greater than the DO standard of class III quality of 3 mg / L. It can be interpreted that the Rembagan River still has a remaining DO of 2.676 mg / L and was still able to accept pollution cost of 18.8 kg/day. Keywords:  pollution load, Rembagan River, river capacity

The development of an area must be accompanied by an ever-increasing population growth which will also increase the waste produced. Waste production will put pressure on the environment if it is not managed properly which will eventually end up in water bodies. The increased pollution load is also caused by the habit of people disposing of domestic waste, both liquid waste and solid waste directly into the water. Batujai Reservoir is one of the vital objects for the survival of the people of Central Lombok in particular, and the people of Lombok Island in general. Because of its vital role, the Batujai Reservoir needs to be saved so that the reservoir ecosystem can carry out its functions and benefits in improving the welfare of the people of Central Lombok. There are several community activities that are a source of direct reservoir water pollution (point source) such as fishing activities using floating net cages and disposal of domestic waste by the community which is directly channeled to water bodies. Pollutants collected in the Batujai Reservoir will reduce the water quality of the Batujai Reservoir. This research aims to analyze the water quality of the Batujai Reservoir which is caused by business activities and the community based on Government Regulation Number 82 of 2001 and to determine the water pollution index of the Batujai Reservoir. This study uses a quantitative approach by collecting primary data from direct observations in the field and secondary data based on previous research reports and government reports. The results showed that the average physical parameters were above the water quality standard threshold for class II water quality, the average chemical parameters were above the water quality standard for class III and class IV water quality, while the biological parameters were above the threshold. Water quality limits for class II and class III. The decline in water quality in the Batujai Reservoir is caused by various wastes entering the Batujai Reservoir water bodies. The analysis result with storet system shows that the water quality of Batujai Reservoir is in bad condition or heavily polluted.

Pogogutat culture in the Mongondow tribe in North Sulawesi is one of the local wisdoms in Indonesia which is loaded with various meanings. This cultural presence is in contact with community activities whose purpose is to improve the quality of life of the people. Practically, the tradition of pogogutat is carried out simultaneously by the community if there is one person holding a celebration in the form of providing assistance in the form of material, energy and thoughts. Pogogutat culture among the Mongondow people can be understood among others as a form of an identity as a Muslim community that has the character of ta'awun (please help), helping each other in order to spread the symbols of Islam as part of religious advice. This tradition has a close relationship with the concept of Islamic philanthropy in this case can be interpreted as a movement, both carried out by individuals and groups with the aim of improving the quality of life of society through a "culture of giving".

The quarry proposed to extract Amabel formation Dolostone by the St. Marys Cement Inc. near Flamborough, Ontario should be implemented based on the arguments of this paper. The quality of the aggregate material, as well as the quantity that St. Marys Cement Inc. hopes to extract would supply enough building material for all of Ontario for nearly two years. However, the construction of the quarry has been strongly opposed by a local community group, Friends of Rural Communities and the Environment (FORCE). The major concerns raised by FORCE have already been addressed by St. Marys Cement Inc., and any further opposition from the community is either based on misinformation provided by FORCE and/or a “not in my back yard” (NIMBY) mentality. “NIMBY-ism” is a selfish, unjustified hindrance to the process of achieving the most efficient outcome for society, an outcome where the needs of the greater good (in this case, aggregate) are fulfilled. The residents of Flamborough and the surrounding area must acknowledge that they too require aggregate material for their roads, houses, and buildings, and that FORCE’s arguments are not for the community or the environment’s wellbeing, but are a front for a NIMBY mentality.

Oxygen Enhancement

The health sector is an important part and must be considered by the Government of Indonesia. The people who really need health are the people, both rural and urban. Public health is an indicator of the quality of human life which is strongly influenced by environmental conditions in an area. One sign of low environmental health is air pollution. Air pollution is defined as the presence of foreign materials or substances in the air which causes changes in the composition (composition) of the air from its normal state, which can cause several diseases such as respiratory diseases. Tuberculosis (TB) infection is a disease whose spread is influenced by environmental and behavioral factors. In addition, reduced levels of oxygen in the environment are also caused by air pollution. For that we need innovations that can improve environmental health so that people's welfare can increase. For this reason, a rural innovation program related to the health of rural communities, especially in the health of respiratory diseases, in this case is TB, was created, which can improve the quality of environmental health and also the welfare of the community. In addition, it also identifies the influence of innovative oxygen enhancement programs by planting trees in rural communities. This research was conducted to identify rural innovation programs related to rural public health, especially on respiratory disease health, and also to identify the effects of innovative oxygen enhancement programs by planting trees in rural environments. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative method. As a result, there was an increase in the percentage of TB sufferers because of the Ketok Pintu Sekaput program. In addition, the Shodaqoh Oxygen program, which was carried out in villages in Banyuwangi Regency, succeeded in planting 7,444,764 trees in 2018. Suggestions for the future, it is better for the community to always practice clean and healthy living, and better prevent preventive and make tree planting programs. at the RW level so that they can provide seeds according to the needs of each area.

Functional Incontinence

Incontinence is the medical term used to describe the involuntary loss of urine or faeces. Women, men, girls, boys and people of all genders, at any age, can experience incontinence. A person with incontinence can experience leakage occasionally, regularly or constantly; and leakage can happen at any time, day or night. A person may also experience leakage of urinary or faecal matter due to not being able to get to the toilet in time or not wanting to use the toilet facilities available. This is known as social, or functional, incontinence. In many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) understanding of incontinence is still in its early stages: the term ‘incontinence’ may not be known, knowledge of the condition is rare, and the provision of support is lacking. Those who experience incontinence may face stigma due to having the condition, and this may affect their willingness or confidence to talk about it. There is a need to better understand incontinence in LMICs, and how best to support people living with the condition to improve their quality of life. This requires having conversations with individuals that experience the condition, and with individuals who care for those who do: they will have the lived experiences of what it means to live with incontinence practically, emotionally and socially for them and their families. Living with incontinence can have a range of impacts on the people living with it and their carers. These include increased stress and distress; additional needs for water and soap; and restricted ability to join in community activities, school or work. Living with incontinence can also lead to a range of protection issues. The potential challenges that people face may be quite diverse and may vary between people and households. The checklist below, and corresponding page references to ‘Incontinence: We Need to Talk About Leaks’ can be used to increase your understanding of incontinence and the options available to support people living with the condition; and provide guidance on how to have conversations to understand how best to support people living with incontinence in your area.

approach in recent years. One of these cities which is the last divided capital city and one of the most important cultural heritages of the Mediterranean region in  the island of Cyprus is the Nicosia Walled City. Within this study, the existing situation of pedestrianized areas in the Walled City in north Nicosia were examined. In literature review part, the importance of pedestrianization,  reasons and benefits of pedestrianization, examples of pedestrianized areas/streets around the world  are reviewed. The pedestrianized streets/areas in the north Nicosia Walled City were examined on-site, photographed, their current status was revealed and evaluated according to determined criteria. Each street/area was evaluated in terms of functions in the street, mobility, accessibility by car or public transportation, social/community activities, economic development and quality of physical environment. When the old city of Nicosia is analyzed in the context of these criteria, it has been observed that the pedestrianized areas have an increasing social, cultural and economical contribution to the city. In addition to its historical features, the places and activities that attract the people especially young population and tourists, bring life to this region. In terms of environmental aspects, visual incompatibilities were observed even in the streets where pedestrianization studies have been carried out recently. There are also problems about vehicle and pedestrian traffic that affect users. The study was completed by making suggestions at the end of the study.

Currently, professional training goes beyond the discipline itself and focuses also on being able to improve our society. Professionals have a great responsibility as active participants in the local, regional, national, or global community they belong to. In the healthcare area, all disciplines must contribute to a deep transformation of the quality of life of all the people in the society, not limited to the patients themselves, but embracing their context, with relatives, friends, etc. The healthcare professional, and professionals of all other areas must, therefore, be competent in their discipline and other transversal components to become an effective change agent. Transversal competencies or soft skills, including citizenship, can also be seen as power skills for all professionals, as they empower them to have a greater impact in their community. Activities focused on the development and self-awareness of these contribute to the training of better professionals in our universities.
