Population growth which is not supported with the availability of natural resources causes gaps or limitations in meeting daily needs through natural resources. As a result, rural communities need certain rules or norms used as behavioral guidelines in utilizing the natural resources. One of them is through the existence of kewang customary institution. However, as the community develops, its effectiveness is experiencing a decline. This study examines the role of kewang customary institution as a biosecurity strategy for community livelihood asset in Negeri Booi, Saparua Island, Central Maluku Regency. This study was done in a qualitative manner with a case study method. The key informants involved included members of the kewang, head (raja) of Negeri Booi, farmers and customary leaders. In-depth interviews, observation and focus group discussion (FGD) were used to collect the data. The results showed that the kewang of Negeri Booi played an active role in securing the livelihood asset while at the same time protecting Negeri Booi's territory. However, the inclusion of economic interventions left the kewang members vulnerable. They were faced with the choice to carry out their duties and functions as a local institution securing the livelihood asset or to violate the convention to meet their daily household needs. In general, the community in Negeri Booi still recognized the existence of kewang customary institution by respecting and carrying out every decision taken.

Abstract Landslide mitigation on potentially-affected lands is one of the crucial efforts in Banjarnegara Regency. Such effort, however, must comply with the existing environmental and land use conditions. This research aimed to determine the landslide susceptibility level and landslide mitigation on the affected land. A descriptive quantitative method was used to determine landslide susceptibility, and a survey method was used to determine its condition. Landslide susceptibility was examined using an overlay analysis of the major factors: slope, texture fault, regolith, and geology. The analysis results show that the levels of landslide susceptibility of the research location consisted of: not prone (19.21%), slightly prone (4.95%), moderate (6.92%), prone (29.20%), and very prone (39.72%). It also predicted that 335,940 people (36.80%) lived in highly and very-highly vulnerable areas. Based on the results, mitigation is targeted on three groups of land, including water bodies (269.57 ha), vegetated area (69,946.98 ha), and non-vegetated area (3,506.25 ha). Both physical and social mitigation actions are thus required. Physical mitigation includes slope protection (terracing, vetiver system, slope-protection structures, ground fractures covering), water management (manual horizontal drainage, drainage channel), vegetation management (multi-stratum canopy, root morphology, and plant biomass), whereas social mitigation involves community management by promoting public awareness and vigilance against disasters, and the active role of both community and stakeholders.

Introduction. It has been known that periodontitis is one of the most common oral diseases in patients having diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim of this study was to examine the influence of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level and the level of oral hygiene on periodontal status of patients suffering from DM. Material and Methods. The research included 50 people with type 2 DM randomly selected. Based on values of HbA1c, patients were divided into two groups: well controlled DM (HbA1c?8.5%) and poorly controlled DM (HbA1c>8.5%). Patients with poorly and well controlled DM were further grouped into subgroups depending on the level of oral hygiene. For each patient, during the clinical examination, periodontal parameters were determined: plaque index (PI), sulcus bleeding index (SBI), the level of junctional epithelium (LJE) and periodontal pocket depth (PPD). Results. The results showed that patients with well controlled disease and good oral hygiene had lower values of the examined periodontal parameters (SBI and PPD) then patients with poorly controlled DM and worse oral hygiene (p<0.01 for SBI, p<0.05 for PPD). Conclusion. The results of this study indicate the important role of oral hygiene for periodontal status of patients with DM.

Oral hygiene is a dental procedure with the role of removing bacterial plaque and action to prevent oral diseases, including periodontal disease. Oral prophylaxis includes both daily dental hygiene (daily brushing, flossing and mouthwash) and the visits to the dentist for professional hygiene and prophylaxis. The correct brushing of the teeth is important not only for maintaining oral health but also for the health of the whole body, because there are correlations between diseases of the oral cavity and problems of the digestive tract or even heart disease.
