Control Study

Abstract The study presents some authors’ experimental results for determination of some quality indicators (few general, specific and toxic physical-chemical indicators) analyzed at the beginning of summer season (June, 2013), in three control sections of Siret River in Pascani town area (i.e. Lunca-Pascani entrance, 1 km-upstream, and 1 km-downstream of Pascani bridge, respectively). The real pollution status of Siret River in Pascani town area is also estimated by the global pollution index (I* GP), and corresponds to values between 3.215-3.891 indicating ‘an aquatic environment modified by domestic and economic activities alongside the river with generation of stress effect against life forms’.

Water Quality Status

ABSTRAKKondisi kualitas air suatu perairan yang baik sangat penting untuk mendukung kelulushidupan organisme yang hidup di dalamnya. Penentuan status mutu air perlu dilakukan sebagai acuan dalam melakukan pemantauan pencemaran kualitas air. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji status mutu air dan menentukan indeks pencemaran berdasarkan parameter fisika-kimia di perairan Distrik Depapre, Kabupaten Jayapura. Pengambilan sampel kualitas air dilakukan pada bulan Oktober 2017 di lima stasiun penelitian, kemudian hasilnya dibandingkan dengan baku mutu air laut untuk biota laut berdasarkan KEPMEN-LH No. 51 Tahun 2004. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa parameter yang masih sesuai baku mutu antara lain suhu, salinitas, sulfida dan kecerahan perairan, sedangkan parameter yang telah melampaui baku mutu antara lain pH, ammonia total, nitrat dan fosfat. Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan indeks pencemaran menunjukkan bahwa perairan Distrik Depapre berada dalam kategori tercemar ringan hingga tercemar sedang.Kata kunci: Baku Mutu, Indeks Pencemaran, Kualitas Air, Parameter Fisika-Kimia, Distrik DepapreABSTRACTGood water quality is extremely important to support life of organisms. The determination of water quality status was needed as reference to monitor water pollution. This study aimed to assess the status of water quality and determine pollution index based on physical-chemical parameters in the Depapre District waters, Jayapura Regency. Sampling was carried out in October 2017 across five research stations, then the results were compared with water quality standards based on KEPMEN-LH No. 51 Tahun 2004 for marine biotas. The results showed that the parameters in according to the quality standards are temperature, salinity, sulphide and water transparency, while those that have exceeded the quality standards are pH, total ammonia, nitrate and phosphate. Based on the calculation of pollution index indicates that the Depapre District waters was in light pollution to medium categories.Keywords: Depapre District, Physical-Chemical Parameters, Pollution Index, Standards, Water QualityCitation: Hamuna, B., Tanjung, H.H.R, Suwito and Maury H.K.

Additional Data Collection

The article deals with the different ways of aquatic ecosystems bioindication in order to determine the normal range of their quality by biological and physical-chemical indicators. The novelty of the work lies in the fact that the original environmental control technology is proposed based on the analysis of data of monitoring of natural ecosystems rather than toxicological data of laboratory experiments. The value of this paper is the proposed methods of assessment of aquatic ecosystems. These methods involve the use of information on the ecosystems that do not require additional data collection based on existing data (in this case, on the abundance and biomass of species and size classes of phytoplankton). The conclusions from the obtained results are determination of normal borders for biological indicators and physical-chemical characteristics by which we can judge safety or disturbance of ecosystems.

Transmission Electron

Electron microscopic methods have been applied increasingly during the past fifteen years, to problems in structural molecular biology. Used in conjunction with physical chemical methods and/or Fourier methods of analysis, they constitute powerful tools for determining sizes, shapes and modes of aggregation of biopolymers with molecular weights greater than 50, 000. However, the application of the e.m. to the determination of very fine structure approaching the limit of instrumental resolving power in biological systems has not been productive, due to various difficulties such as the destructive effects of dehydration, damage to the specimen by the electron beam, and lack of adequate and specific contrast. One of the most satisfactory methods for contrasting individual macromolecules involves the deposition of heavy metal vapor upon the specimen. We have investigated this process, and present here what we believe to be the more important considerations for optimizing it. Results of the application of these methods to several biological systems including muscle proteins, fibrinogen, ribosomes and chromatin will be discussed.

The article summarizes the main approaches in the definition of business valuation the economic entity. In the process of business valuation, taking into account the risks of financial and economic activities necessary to obtain information on what stage the owner implements the business will receive income. The most difficult task is the impossibility of accurate prediction in determining the level of income and the determination of a discount rate capitalization of future incomes due to the instability of the economy, both in the country and around the world.

Two Stages

The article presents a methodology for a comprehensive assessment of the environmental situation in Russian Federation regions based on the pollution index and the index of the ecological tension. The evaluation was carried out in two stages. At the first stage, the degree of pollution of the atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere of the regions was estimated on the basis of the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere, departing from stationary sources, the formation of solid domestic wastes (SDW) and the discharge of contaminated wastewater. Based on these three indicators, a pollution index was constructed that estimates aggregate pollution level. In the second stage, the authors made the estimation of loads generated by atmospheric emissions, solid waste and waste water discharged into the territory of each region, per capita and in relation to the environmental capacity of the economy. This allows us to take into account the area of pollution, anthropogenic pressure and environmental responsibility of the population, as well as the environmental friendliness of production. On the basis of relative indicators, the index of ecological tension was created.
