Part of my current Blue(s)Print poetic practice, this piece was written after attending a friend's Nichiren Buddhism conference and then later attending Betty’s Daughter Arts Collaborative’s black/water: The Digital Ceremony. The shape of the poem's maps are inspired by the Angaria Delphinus shell I received recently, thinking about the connections to the Delphi Oracles, Sibyls, and Mami Wata priestesses. I want this piece to represent the Sux within language and history, and that language can be a meditative, spiritual guide and gate opener to the vast history and connections of the diaspora. Is what we think of as lost really lost or just transformed and in constant motion?

General Movement

Maurice Scully published Humming (2009), a single, self-contained work, after the completion of the monumental eight-book ‘set’ Things That Happen (1987–2008). Humming is an elegy, dedicated to the poet's brother, who died in 2004. This article explores Humming as a poem of mourning, assessing the extent to which it expresses and subverts some of the traditional characteristics and functions of elegy. Elegies often include pastoral motifs, repetitions (particularly repeated questions), an element of imprecation, multivocal performance, commentary on the elegist's ambition and achievement, and enact a general movement from grief to consolation; this essay considers the forms these take. For Scully, whose poetic practice advocates self-effacement, the egoistical nature of elegy, its emphasis on accomplishment and aspiration, presents a problem which is perhaps only partially overcome by the formal strategies discussed here. Poetry without designs upon its subjects or readers remains a goal to be achieved: 'it is hard/ work whichever way/ you look at it.' In conclusion, however, it might be said that Humming, like many elegies, enacts a transition between different phases of the poet's work.

Sanitasi merupakan salah satu faktor bagian yang terpenting dalam kehidupan dan juga merupakan suatu kebutuhan dasar dalam kehidupan sehari-hari bagi manusia. Aturan-aturan yang telah dibuat oleh pemerintah tidak pernah diperhatikan lagi sehingga kualitas lingkungan tidak terjaga dan menyebabkan lingkungan kita tercemar dengan limbah. Air limbah dapat berasal dari rumah tangga (domestik) yaitu buangan kakus (black water) berpotensi mengandung mikroba pathogen dan air bekas cucian dapur, mesin cuci dan kamar mandi (grey water). Melihat kondisi tesebut, limbah rumah tangga sampai saat ini dibuang langsung ke saluran-saluran drainase yang ada melalui parit-parit dan sungai. Buangan air limbah tersebut di tampung melalui bak Instalasi Pengolahan Limbah (IPAL) yang bersifat komunal, off site sanitation atau individual dan selanjutnya lumpur tinja dari bak IPAL tersebut di olah ke Instalasi Pengolahan Lumpur Tinja (IPLT) dengan menggunakan mobil tinja atau motor tinja. Dengan melihat cakupan layanan IPLT yang baru mencapai 5,2%, dapat diduga bahwa 39,06% pengolahan air limbah sistem setempat masih belum efektif. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif yaitu prosedur pemecahan masalah yang diselidiki dengan menggambarkan keadaan subjek atau objek dalam penelitian pada saat sekarang berdasarkan fakta-fakta yang tampak atau apa adanya. Penelitian ini difokuskan pada kondisi dilapangan melalui wawancara dan obesrvasi sampai dengan pengolahan. Prakiraan timbulan limbah cair pada 20 tahun kemudian diproyeksikan timbulan/buangan air limbah di Kota Pontianak akan mencapai 79.515 M3/hari dengan debit air limbah mencapai 920 liter/detik, maka diproyeksikan kebutuhan Instalasi Pengolahan Air Limbah Komunal ini di Kota Pontianak mencapai 269 unit dengan layanan kepada sekitar 138.793 penduduk. Sistem penyaluran air limbah cair rumah tangga tersebut ke penampungan dan seterusnya diolah di IPLT yang telah tersedia. Dalam penanganan lumpur tinja di Kota Pontianak dilakukan pengangkutan/penyedotan lumpur tinja, pengolahan lumpur tinja dan penanganan lumpur keringKata-kata kunci: sanitasi, proyeksi, limbah rumah tangga, instalasi pengolahan air limbah komunal, instalasi pengolahan lumpur tinja

AbstractIt is widely believed that the first and the second pericardium surgeries were done in the nineteenth century by Francisco Romero and Dominique Jean Larrey, respectively; however, Galen was the first surgeon who proceeded with pericardiectomy. This ancient case report of sternum osteomyelitis and pericardiectomy illuminates some dark part of the history of medicine and the ability of physicians in that era.

Biogas technology is an important alternative energy source worldwide. Blackwater and kitchen refuse represent ideal waste streams for bioenergy recovery through anaerobic co-digestion. Modeling of the biokinetics of anaerobic digestion on several aspects, such as microbial activity, substrate degradation, and methane production, from co-digestion of black water (BW) and kitchen refuse (KR) was the objective of this research. A mathematical model was developed towards a simulation based on mass balances on biomass, the organic substrate, and biogas. The model was implemented in INSEL and experimental data from the literature were used for model validation. The study shows that the simulation results fit well with the experimental data. The energy consumption and generation potential of anaerobic co-digestion of BW and KR were calculated to investigate if the produced biogas could supply the digester’s energy demand. This study can be used to pre-design anaerobic digestion systems in eco-districts.

Wastewater management appeared about 3000 BC in South Asia, and spread on the whole subcontinent with the development of urbanization during its early history. Domestic grey water and black water were canalized through street-side drains, and cesspits was implemented at house outlet level, or at drain crossing, in order to avoid the clogging of the system. Nothing seems to be known about the ultimate place where the drains canalized wastewater. In South India, wastewater was managed previously to the 1st century AD, at the very same period as the presence of Mediterranean population on the subcontinent. But, we cannot confirm a Mediterranean influence on wastewater management, because of the previous development of several techniques in the region. In today rural Puducherry area, traditional techniques are used to manage wastewater, quite similar to the method used to treat wastewater of Puducherry urban zone.

Rotifers have often been used as indicators of sudden changes in physical and chemical features of the aquatic environment. Such features vary greatly during flood pulse events in small lakes connected to major floodplains. However, few are the studies that investigate the consequences of the flood pulse in rotifer species composition, abundance, richness and diversity, especially in Amazonian lakes. We analyzed samples from a small blackwater lake of an “igarapé” connected permanently to the Negro river, in Central Amazonia. Samples were taken twice a year for two years, comprising flooding and receding periods of the flood pulse. Rotifer abundance increased significantly after draught events, and electrical conductivity and turbidity were intrinsically related to such variation. Species composition also changed from flooding to receding periods. Some taxa, such as Brachionus zahniseri reductus and Lecane remanei were restricted to receding periods, while Brachionus zahniseri, Brachionus gillardi and Lecane proiecta were only present during flooding. A shift in the composition of rotifer families was observed from one period to another, showing the effect of renewing waters of the flood pulse. These results suggest that the flood pulse acts as a driving force and stressing condition, considerably altering rotifer community dynamics, either changing species composition or decreasing abundance.

Feeding habits of the characin Hollandichthys multifasciatus were investigated. Samplings were made between March 2004 and February 2005 in two black water streams of the coastal Atlantic rainforest in southern Brazil. The diet, evaluated by qualitative and quantitative methods, included aquatic and terrestrial insects, decapods, oligochaetes, plants and spiders. Large individuals feed mainly on plants, terrestrial insects, and spiders, whereas small fish feed basically on plants and oligochaetes. The species showed an omnivorous feeding habit, and its diet was composed of autochthonous (mainly oligochaetes) and allochthonous (plants and terrestrial insects) material.
