The National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) noted that the landslide claimed the lives of 12 residents Senior Researcher from ITS Research Center for Mitigation Amien did not tire of reminding that statements alleging heavy rain as the cause of floods and landslides were less educational and should be corrected almost every hydrometeorological disaster occurs The government states that rain is the trigger,” he said rain is only one factor that has led to a hydrometeorological disaster such as the recent landslide that hit Nganjuk future generations will not learn from their mistakes and will only make the same mistakes,” he said He continued that almost everyone has studied the characteristics of objects’ motion on an inclined plane while in school “Another reason is because of the additional load on the object as well as the increase in the inclination angle of the inclined plane,” he added soil movement is more prone to occur on sloping mountain slopes Land attached to a mountain slope is analogous to an object on an inclined plane If the loading does not increase in weight and the inclination angle is far from the critical point the possibility of soil movement or landslide will be reduced “The mountain soil is formed due to a weathering process that is influenced by climate Indonesia’s tropical climate can then trigger rock weathering to occur more frequently so that the soil in Indonesia has a thicker layer than others The roots of the trees play a role in holding the ground so that landslides do not occur and the land becomes more stable because it is not easy to shift any more,” continued the lecturer who graduated from UGM Based on the principle of motion of objects on an inclined plane the mountain soil’s stability can turn unstable for several reasons the reduction of vegetation is one of the causes of soil instability,” he said Ideal and stable conditions exist when the root fibers improve soil cohesion while the supporting roots become armature or nails in the supportive rock underneath the loss of vegetation is mainly due to logging—both legally and illegally (illegal) “Either naturally or deliberately burned soil stability can be compromised by cutting the slopes at the bottom This is because Amien explained that the slope angle could be increased due to the cutting the soil layer will get closer to a critical position these cuts can occur due to erosion by river flows or previous landslides don’t forget that activities such as mining can also accelerate the soil layer on the slope to near its critical point,” he warned The third cause of soil instability is the continuous addition of loads thus adding to the soil layer’s weight The addition of load can naturally occur due to hoarding landslides most of them are caused by human activities such as hoarding land for settlement development or misuse of slopes as garbage dumps soil instability can occur due to the addition of water content this addition often happens when it rains continuously for several hours such as by providing ponds and rice fields “Including the seepage of the septic-tank can add to the heavy water burden that the land must bear,” he explained the smaller the ground’s binding capacity (cohesion) the more saturated the soil properties and the more susceptible to landslides,” he continued which can change or untie the bonds between soil grains earthquakes that occur naturally or vibrations caused by heavy vehicles and trains that appear Amien said that soil weathering is the last cause affecting soil stability which causes chemical processes in the ground such as leaching of soil-binding compounds/elements and translocation of clay minerals can reduce the strength of the bonds between the materials that make up the soil these factors require more detailed research and assessment using physical the water factor such as rain is only one contributing factor the causes of landslides are generally a combination of these factors Amien opened the study results by the Center for Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation (PVMBG) of the Geological Agency Posters that illustrate the factors that cause and trigger landslides The PVMBG analysis results state that several factors that have been recorded as the cause of landslides include steep slopes and former mining areas (landslides in Cimanggung and quickly decays in contact with water (landslide in Ngetos ITS News — Indonesia as a tropical country tends to have many coastal areas ITS News — Data is an asset and the main foundation in determining strategies for the future ITS News — Continuing to show local wisdom to the world community ITS News — The Domestic Component Level (TKDN) is the key to restoring the glory of the Indonesian Cari English The End of the Escape of Armed Robbers from Mexico at the Nganjuk Bus Terminal TEKS › English›The End of the Escape of Armed..

Jakarta. Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission, or KPK, arrested 15 people including Nganjuk District Head Taufiqurrahman for alleged bribery in a raid on Wednesday (25/10) in Nganjuk, East Java, and Jakarta. "We conducted a raid in a district in East Java. We nabbed several people from there and several more in Jakarta," KPK spokesman Febri Diansyah said as quoted by Suara Pembaruan. The KPK has 24 hours to interrogate the men and decide whether or not to charge them. The spokesman did not provide  details on the motive for the bribery or the amount of money seized in the raids. "We seized some money, in rupiah. It looks to be linked to the [Nganjuk] district head," he said. The antigraft agency had already charged Taufiqurrahman with bribery related to five infrastructure projects conducted while he was district head in 2009 in December 2016. But he moved for a pretrial at the South Jakarta district court which exonerated him from the KPK's charges. His case was then given to the Attorney General's Office for further investigation.

Moved to help the economy of these cultivators, the ITS community service team (abmas) and real work lecture (KKN) implemented ergonomic porang cutting and drying tools. The tool was designed by the Community Service Team and ITS KKN, chaired by Dr. Ir. Eko Nurmianto MEngSc is support for processing porang plants into various kinds of high economic value products. So that it is expected to be able to boost the economy of the local community. Nganjuk Regency has an area of ​​approximately 122,433 hectares, of which 49.9 percent or 61,127.2 hectares of which are forests. The existence of the forest is very important for the Nganjuk community because it has an economic function as essential life support. The great potential that the Nganjuk forest keeps is the porang commodity, one of which is in Macanan Village, Loceret. Porang or Amorphophallus oncophillus is a non-timber forest commodity whose main product is tubers. Porang tubers, if further processed, can produce a variety of products, such as food processing materials, paper industrial blends, glue-making materials, textile materials, and insulating materials in the electrical industry. Five ITS lecturers who are members of Abmas porang together with their fostered partners in Nganjuk Although they have a lot of potential for porang, there are still many cultivators whose lives are still less prosperous. Various ways have been taken to increase the competitiveness and selling power of porang from their cultivation. However, there are problems in the form of a lack of quality human resources (HR) and routine coaching. Departing from this gap, the abmas and KKN ITS team is determined to help improve the welfare of porang cultivators, especially in Macanan Village, Loceret. Together with Eko, four other ITS lecturers are also part of the ITS community service and KKN team. The four of them are Ir Arino Anzip MEngSc, Ir Witantyo MEngSc, Prof. Dr. Ir Udisubakti Ciptomulyono MEngSc, and Dr. Soehardjoepri MSi. Besides, there are also 10 ITS students who help with Community Service and Community Service activities by the ITS Center for Regional Potential Development and Community Empowerment (PPDPM) Studies. Demonstration of the use of a porang dryer and cutter was witnessed by fostered partners in Macanan Village, Loceret, Nganjuk Not many people know that porang is a commodity that is in high demand, even abroad. In 2018 there were 254 tonnes of porang exports to Japan, China, Vietnam, Australia, and others, which reached Rp. 11.31 billion. This large demand figure, if it is used optimally by selling processed porang products, the profit earned by cultivators will increase. “That way the people’s welfare can increase,” he said hopefully. To realize the product diversification of the ITS Team’s idea, the Loceret community is equipped with porang cutting and drying tools. This tool is the result of research on the design and construction of a porang cutting and dryer machine prototype carried out by Eko and his two colleagues Ir Arino Anzip MEngSc and Dwi Endah Kusrini SSi MSi which was completed in 2019. This tool is used to replace conventional cutting methods that still use knives or traditional surrender. By using this tool, the round porang tubers turn into porang chips without using human labor, so that forest farming communities can increase their productivity. Handover of machines from Dr. Ir Eko Nurmianto MEngSc (right) to the Chairman of the Nganjuk Forest Farmers Group The chips or pieces of porang are then put in a dryer to be heated until they reach a temperature of 70 degrees Celsius. Eko said that this temperature is adjusted to the heat obtained when the porang pieces are heated for about a day in the sun. By utilizing the porang cutting and dryer machine, the processor can cut approximately 30 kilograms per hour and can dry the porang pieces in just three to four minutes. “After that, the porang will be mashed into flour which can then be used for various high economic value preparations,” explained the lecturer at the ITS Industrial and Systems Engineering Department. Processes developed from porang flour carried out by fostered participants in Macanan Village, Loceret include porang crackers, porang cake, porang meatball, jelly art, porang noodles, porang sticks, porang nuggets, dawet porang, and porang pudding. Porang processed products produced by fostered partners are dawet porang (top left), pudding porang (bottom left), and stick porang (bottom right) In addition to helping train people in the application of cutting and drying machines and processing porang into processed products, Eko and his team also helped train several things that support the success of this entrepreneurship. Namely training and product packaging practices, capital and finance, as well as selling techniques and market management. “These three components are very important so that the sustainability of the porang processing business can be realized,” he added.

Conservation Center to put global positioning system (GPS) collars around the necks of wild Sumatran elephants (Elephas maximus sumatranus) on Friday (13/5/2022) Erni was in charge of measuring the anesthetic before Nazaruddin shot the elephants with a tranquilizer gun The GPS collars were intended to monitor the wild elephants’ movement to minimize the risk of conflict with humans The tranquilizing process was the initial stage of the mission because before the GPS collars were attached the elephants had to be calmed down or even made asleep one elephant got up to three tranquilizer shots until it was quietened the elephants were given antidotes for their reactivation the anesthetic must be measured accurately so as not to harm the animals “It’s because drug dosage for animal species differ It’s impossible to give a dose for elephants to Sumatran tigers,” she said > MUSLIM Defender of Wildlife > ROSA RIKA WAHYUNI Mother's Love for Elephants only competent people can measure the anesthetic needed Erni has been tranquilizing wild animals since 2005 but also other protected wildlife such as orangutans and tigers “Every rescue mission has its own challenges,” she said every field experience would bring new knowledge that could be useful for the next mission She has had several impressionable experiences she won’t forget One of these was in 2014 when she saved Elsa a Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) whose legs were stuck in a hunter’s trap in Seluma Another occasion was when she shared the same sampan with a tiger named Giring that was still drugged and even appeared in the international media I was relocating Giring from an APL (area for other purposes) to Kerinci Seblat National Park The only access was by sampan,” she recalled Apart from sharing the same boat with a tiger she once attempted to tranquilize a tiger on her own and with limited equipment Working as a wildlife veterinarian in Indonesia indeed requires courage One reasons is because they are not fully equipped like wildlife veterinarians are in other countries like Europe or Africa wildlife veterinarians and teams [...] need to be more creative and quickly able to adapt to the local conditions,” said Erni who has worked as a veterinarian in Zimbabwe But when she was about to enter university This decision was backed by her interest in watching documentaries of wildlife rescues but am also involved in the activity,” she said she must be aware of the surrounding environment she has to know how to treat these large mammals “While they are needed for protection in the field this is my way of learning from people who are more experienced,” she added So she asked a mahout to help her when attaching GPS collars to wild elephants in South Sumatra who has been a mahout for 38 years at Way Kambas park Erni is also active in sharing her skills and knowledge with the public She believes this is the most effective way to involve people in saving wild animals she always calls on the public to not treat protected wild animals as if they were pests that must be eliminated critically endangered wildlife will be even more threatened The same is true
