Contact Center (021) 196 Faks (021) 4246703 Pasangkayu Regency in West Sulawesi has experienced rapid economic development in recent years largely due to its thriving palm oil industry A palm tree monument in front of the regent’s office symbolizes the crucial role palm oil plantations have played in enhancing the welfare and economic development of Pasangkayu's more than 200,000 residents Once a relatively obscure district in Mamuju Regency before its separation in 2004 Pasangkayu has transformed into a vibrant region The bustling main roads are now lined with hotels "It used to be very difficult to find a telecommunication shop here but now we can sit anywhere and pick up the phone The [telecommunication] infrastructure and network have been built here," Regent Yaumil Ambo Djiwa said in a statement Yaumil is one of the key figures behind Pasangkayu's separation from Mamuju which was approved in 2004 under the name North Mamuju Regency The name was later changed to Pasangkayu Regency in 2017 with the approval of President Joko Widodo following requests from local community leaders Another influential figure is Yaumil’s younger brother the regency centered its economic activities around palm oil so has the population of the young regency "The population growth has picked up pace since the separation of the regency began in 2003 -- from only around 90,000 people to more than 200,000 today," Saifuddin Baso a member of the Pasangkayu Legislative Council Government data indicate that per capita income in the regency has also risen significantly from around Rp 20 million a year to Rp 58 million Pasangkayu now boasts the highest GDP in West Sulawesi Saifuddin recalled that after his election in 2004 he participated in a council team tasked with increasing the number of districts from four to twelve He attributed Pasangkayu's rapid economic growth to the palm oil industry which has become the main livelihood for the local community Provincial government data show that the agriculture and fisheries sectors contributed 44.7 percent to West Sulawesi's economic growth in 2023 Economic professor Zudan Arif Fakrullah concurred "The main driver behind its economic growth is the boom in the palm oil sector -- which includes crude palm oil and its derivatives -- propelling the overall agriculture sector," Zudan said Saifuddin noted that the rapid population growth has led to conflicts between residents and palm oil companies he pointed to ongoing disputes between subsidiaries of palm oil giant Astra Agro and farmers The 56-year-old Pasangkayu native emphasized that all licensed companies operating in the regency have met legal requirements and procedures stipulated by law dismissing concerns that they are seizing land from residents Saifuddin suggested that disputes can be resolved through mediation or through legal channels for dignified and fair solutions He offered two solutions for these disputes: mediation and legal channels He stressed the importance of a persuasive approach to resolving problems amicably and ensuring that any legal settlements are based on evidence and facts in compliance with existing laws "These companies have produced their operating licenses but please acknowledge what is yours and don't claim anything that isn’t Let's stay cool-headed because this regency cannot thrive if we disrupt investments," he said Saifuddin noted that Astra Agro has been present in Pasangkayu since the late 1980s Yayasan Plan International Indonesia (Plan Indonesia) has responded to multiple emergencies in 2021 namely Ile Lewolotok volcano eruption and tropical cyclone response in Lembata (East Nusa Tenggara/NTT province) earthquake in Mamuju (West Sulawesi province) Semeru eruption in Lumajang (East Java province) Plan Indonesia has been working closely with subnational Community Engagement and Accountability Working Groups (CEA-WGs) This case study aims to provide an analysis of the implementation of the three pillars of CEA in the recent three emergencies in Lembata and Lumajang to which Plan Indonesia had responded The experience and lessons learned are expected to positively contribute to improvement in accountability and effectiveness of future humanitarian response in Indonesia The first case study in Lembata showed how resources were allocated specifically for promoting CEA and initiating feedback mechanisms in an emergency to the long-term social accountability through the call centre 112 Learning from earlier responses to volcano eruption Plan Indonesia dedicated resources (budget and human resources) to set up initiation process through multi-stakeholder engagement CEA workshop and training Communication channels were made available and various IEC materials were developed for wider outreach Sharing feedback analysis with other humanitarian actors was aimed to influence collective commitment for improved assistance Some invaluable feedback including the preference of family kit over distributed construction toolkit dignity kits for adolescent boys (not only girls) and feedback for priority needs and eligible families for the CVA program The second case study highlighted the establishment of CEA-WG in Mamuju through technical facilitation to strengthen the local leadership Plan Indonesia supported a deployable technical consultant who assist to convene and facilitate coordinated meetings before definitive leadership was in place Supported by Plan Indonesia’s partner the establishment of Displacement and Protection Cluster and CEA-WG were fruitfully facilitated including pilot implementation of feedback mechanisms in 3 villages political dynamics and coordination challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic the pilot provided key lessons on what communication mechanisms worked better with the rural community whose connectivity and ICT infrastructure are limited The third case study emphasised the integration of the existing social accountability platform Plan Indonesia team supported the response lead with a summary report in the cluster meetings as an entry point for discussing the needs of CEA Technical training for Community Information Group (KIM) was agreed to be a strategic step to leverage the public information outreach and proactively collect feedback from the community Since the platform was designed for general feedback to public services the platform is not suited for handling sensitive issues/reports especially because of its requirement for personal identification the lack of integration with the nongovernmental feedback mechanisms and accessibility issues (web-based platform) the platform offers the potential for a scalable model for promoting commitment to nexus it is concluded that effective CEA requires the right mindset and commitment the presence of COVID-19 has stretched local resources and capacity to respond to feedback in regards to requests for assistance some key recommendations include investment in evidence-based advocacy messages and inclusive engagement increasing wider visibility of CEA-WG and maintaining its regular engagement improving cross-cutting issues understanding in CEA addressing capacity gaps of humanitarian organisations at the subnational level and setting up coordinated and accountable responses to coping with multiple emergencies Metrics details Mamuju is one of the regions in Indonesia which retains natural conditions but has relatively high exposure to natural radiation The goals of the present study were to characterize exposure of the entire Mamuju region as a high natural background radiation area (HNBRA) and to assess the existing exposure as a means for radiation protection of the public and the environment A cross-sectional study method was used with cluster sampling areas by measuring all parameters that contribute to external and internal radiation exposures It was determined that Mamuju was a unique HNBRA with the annual effective dose between 17 and 115 mSv The lifetime cumulative dose calculation suggested that Mamuju residents could receive as much as 2.2 Sv on average which is much higher than the average dose of atomic bomb survivors for which risks of cancer and non-cancer diseases are demonstrated The study results are new scientific data allowing better understanding of health effects related to chronic low-dose-rate radiation exposure and they can be used as the main input in a future epidemiology study Health studies of populations living in HNBRAs are a potential source of information on the effects of chronic low-dose-rate exposures Although the studies of atomic bomb survivors provide strong evidence of health effects such as cancer and non-cancer diseases associated with single acute exposure to moderate to high doses of ionizing radiation the effect of low dose-rates on health and cancer risks after exposure to ionizing radiation is it is necessary to make a comprehensive environmental assessment of the existing exposure situation in a HNBRA to get scientific evidence of health effects due to chronic low-dose-rate radiation exposure daily life in Mamuju is dependent on nature Most residents work outdoors and consume food that is mainly locally grown or produced or that comes from traditional markets The drinking water sources for almost 86% of the residents are wells and springs and just a small percentage buy bottled drinking water The drinking water habit is consuming it directly without boiling the Mamuju residents are vulnerable to becoming contaminated by natural radionuclides and heavy metals so it is important to measure the quality of drinking water following the SDGs mandates to ensure cleanliness of drinking water and feasibility of sanitation we found that the average consumption of drinking water per day was 1.6 L The concentration of 238U is 23–30 times greater than the world average The Mamuju region is unique because it has a high concentration of both 238U and 232Th natural radionuclides The personal dosimeter measures the integration of external radiation so no conversion factors are required The individual external effective dose obtained using the personal dosimeter in the high radiation area ranges from 1.9 to 14.3 mSv year−1 with a geometric mean of 4.7 mSv year−1 the individual external effective dose ranges from 0.3 to 0.9 mSv year−1 with a geometric mean of 0.5 mSv year−1 For the medium radiation area in the HNBRA the individual external effective dose ranges from 0.5 to 1.0 mSv year−1 with geometric mean of 0.75 mSv year−1 meat + vegetables and fruits to annual effective dose 0.01–2.51 mSv (geometric mean 0.54 mSv) and 0.01–0.1 mSv (geometric mean 0.05 mSv) Among the radioactivity results obtained in foodstuffs The presence of radionuclides in food may be a result of root uptake from the soil direct deposition from the atmosphere onto crops or transfer through aquatic pathways it is necessary to carry out further research on the transfer of factors from soil to these foodstuffs Annual effective doses from radon in the HNBRA are between 4 and 78 mSv (geometric mean 13 mSv) This value is extremely high and correlates with concentrations of 238U and 232Th in soil samples in the area Correlation between thoron concentration and EETC the ICRP stated that the reference level used in conjunction with the optimization of protection to restrict individual dose due to "existing exposure" is between 1 and 20 mSv Comparison of (a) annual internal effective dose and (b) annual external effective dose in the study villages and control area to the annual effective dose (d) Pie chart showing the contribution of each dose to the annual effective dose Dose data from the present study HNBRA and other HNBRAs in the world are listed in Table 3 We note that the estimated annual effective dose of radon and thoron in this study used the dose coefficient of ICRP 137 which is slightly higher than the previous ICRP publication We can see that Mamuju is a unique HNBRA because it has large external and internal doses the landscape in Mamuju is still natural and there is no mining; the radiation exposure distribution is wide and there are many residents Residents in Mamuju are completely dependent on nature for their daily activities which include working in vegetable and fruit gardens and fetching water for drinking from wells Almost all of their time is spent in a high radiation area The HNBRA can lead to environmental pollution caused by radiation and heavy metals from radionuclide decay that eventually enter the human body The activity concentration data presented in this paper have high values even exceeding the values for radiation workers and they are of particular concern from the viewpoint of public health If we consider the internal dose received by the population of Mamuju it is necessary to study the situation further epidemiologically Pie chart summarizing the main diseases suffered by Mamuju region residents46 URI stands for upper respiratory tract infection We conducted a short questionnaire survey of residents to determine their lifestyle and consumption behaviors All questionnaire surveys were performed in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations; 408 families covering the whole study area were surveyed and we confirmed that informed consent was obtained from all subjects and/or their legal guardians The study itself was approved by the Committee of Medical Ethics of Hirosaki University Graduate School of Medicine (2018-089 A total of 30 soil samples of 1 kg each were collected from 30 locations including 24 samples in the HNBRA and 6 samples in the control area The location of sample selection was carried out randomly by considering the number of hamlets in a village and the presence of residents in the village because some hamlets were no longer inhabited Detailed information on the location is shown in the Supplementary information and placed in sealed standard Marinelli beakers Their decay products were allowed to reach secular equilibrium (30 days) and then they were measured using a high purity germanium (HPGe) detector The HPGe detector was calibrated using a standard source (NIST USA) with the same geometry as the Marinelli beakers for samples USA) with the relative efficiency of 35% and resolution of 1.81 keV at 1.33 MeV and ultra-low background shielding with old lead content (ISuS The detector was enclosed in a 10 cm thick compact lead shield The counting of the samples was obtained by analyzing the spectrum acquired from a multi-channel analyzer (MCA) on a PC with associated software Gamma vision (ORTEC We collected drinking water samples and measured their temperature we measured the ambient dose equivalent rates (PDR-111 The drinking water samples were acidified to 3% using nitric acid a triple quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS-QQQ) instrument (8800 USA) was used for determining concentrations of major and heavy metal elements (Cu 208Pb) and a Dionex ion chromatography system (ICS-210 USA) was used for determining concentrations of ions (F− Here H*(10) is ambient dose equivalent rates (nSv h−1) Nread is the value of the ambient dose equivalent rate obtained from the survey meter The ambient dose equivalent is an operational quantity for area monitoring an individual dose received by the residents is required so we conducted individual measurements of the personal dose equivalent Hp(10) using optically stimulated luminescence dosimeters (OSLDs 20 dosimeters were used in the medium area and 20 dosimeters were used in the control area and at nighttime it was placed near the bedside The detector has been calibrated using the 137Cs source with the detector positioned on a phantom For 222Rn concentration measurement in drinking water a total of 30 drinking water samples of 250 mL each were collected using a glass bottle and measured with an electrostatic collection type radon monitor (RAD7 USA) connected to a water analysis accessory (RAD-H2O We measured the water samples on days in two seasons The RAD7 detector was connected to a bubbling kit for degassing of radon in the water sample into the air in a closed loop A water sample was put into a radon-tight reagent bottle (250 mL) connected to the closed loop to detect alpha activity Before the radon gas reached the detector it was dried with desiccant (CaSO4 Air was then circulated in the closed loop for a 5 min cycle in 5 recycle times until the radon was uniformly mixed with the air from which the radon concentration was obtained directly Hp(d) is the personal dose equivalent due to external exposure obtained by personal dosimeter (Sv) at a depth of 10 mm for penetrating radiation (Hp(10)) \({e}_{j,\mathrm{ing}}\) is the committed effective dose per unit activity intake by

conducted a Pearson and Spearman rank correlation analysis and we also calculated the values of correlation coefficients with a two-tailed significance test (p value at 0.05) we also compared the results of the dose assessment between the HNBRA and control area using a two-sided student's t test We used MAPINFO PROFESSIONAL (version 10.5 USA) to create maps and dose distribution maps United

Indonesia (AP) — Damaged roads and bridges, power blackouts and lack of heavy equipment on Saturday hampered rescuers after a strong earthquake left at least 49 people dead and hundreds injured on Indonesia's Sulawesi island. Operations were focused on about eight locations in the hardest-hit city of Mamuju, where people were still believed trapped following the magnitude 6.2 quake that struck early Friday, said Saidar Rahmanjaya, who heads the local search and rescue agency. Cargo planes carrying food, tents, blankets and other supplies from Jakarta landed late Friday for distribution in temporary shelters. Still, thousands of people spent the night in the open fearing aftershocks and a possible tsunami. The National Search and Rescue Agency's operations director, Bambang Suryo Aji, said rescuers recovered three more bodies in the rubble of collapsed homes and buildings in Mamuju late Saturday, raising the death toll to 49. A total of 40 people were killed in Mamuju, while nine bodies were retrieved in neighboring Majene district. At least 415 houses in Majene were damaged and about 15,000 people were moved to shelters, said National Disaster Mitigation Agency spokesperson Raditya Jati. Bodies retrieved by rescuers were sent to a police hospital for identification by relatives, said West Sulawesi police spokesperson Syamsu Ridwan. He said more than 200 people were receiving treatment at the Bhayangkara police hospital and several others in Mamuju alone. Another 630 were injured in Majene. Among those pulled alive was a young girl who was stuck in the wreckage of a house with her sister. The girl was seen in video released by the disaster agency Friday crying for help. She was being treated in a hospital. She identified herself as Angel and said that her sister, Catherine, who did not appear in the video, was beside her under the rubble and was still breathing. The fate of Catherine and other family members was unclear. The quake set off landslides in three locations and blocked a main road connecting Mamuju to Majene. Power and phone lines were down in many areas. Mamuju, the capital of West Sulawesi province with nearly 75,000 people, was strewn with debris from collapsed buildings. A governor office building was almost flattened by the quake and a shopping mall was reduced to a crumpled hulk. A large bridge collapsed and patients with drips laid on folding beds under tarpaulin tents outside one of the damaged hospitals. Two hospitals in the city were damaged and others were overwhelmed. Many survivors said that aid had not reached them yet due to damaged roads and disrupted communications. Video from a TV station showed villagers in Majene, some carrying machetes, forcibly stopping vehicles carrying aid. They climbed onto a truck and threw boxes of instant noodles and other supplies at dozens of people who were scrambling to get them. Two ships headed to the devastated areas from the nearby cities of Makassar and Balikpapan with rescuers and equipment, including excavators. State-owned firm AirNav Indonesia, which oversees aircraft navigation, said the quake did not cause significant damage to the Mamuju airport runway or control tower. Indonesian President Joko Widodo said Friday that he instructed his Cabinet ministers and disaster and military officials to coordinate the response. In a telegram sent by the Vatican on behalf of Pope Francis, the pontiff expressed “heartfelt solidarity with all those affected by this natural disaster.” The pope was praying for “the repose of the deceased, the healing of the injured and the consolation of all who grieve.” Francis also offered encouragement to those continuing search and rescue effects, and he invoked “the divine blessings of strength and hope.” International humanitarian missions including the Water Mission, Save the Children and the International Federation of Red Cross said in statements that they have joined in efforts to provide relief for people in need. On Thursday, a magnitude 5.7 undersea quake hit the same region, damaging several homes but causing no apparent casualties. It was followed by more than 30 aftershocks, including the deadly quake. Indonesia, home to more than 260 million people, is frequently hit by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis because of its location on the “Ring of Fire,” an arc of volcanoes and fault lines in the Pacific Basin. In 2018, a magnitude 7.5 earthquake in Palu on Sulawesi island set off a tsunami and caused soil to collapse in a phenomenon called liquefaction. More than 4,000 people were killed, including many who were buried when whole neighborhoods were swallowed in the falling ground.
