On the Influence of Enso And IOD on Rainfall Variability Over The Musi Basin, South Sumatra

The southern Sumatera region experiences one rainy season and one dry season in a year associated with seasonal change in monsoonal winds. The peak of rainy season is occurring in November-December-January during the northwest monsoon season, while the dry season comes in June-July-August during the southeast monsoon season. This study is designed to evaluate possible influence of the coupled ocean-atmospheric modes in the tropical Indo-Pacific region, namely the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) on the rainfall variability over the catchment area of the Music Basin, South Sumatera. The ENSO and IOD occurrences were reflected by the variability of sea surface temperature (SST) in the tropical Pacific and Indian Ocean, respectively. During El Niño and/or positive IOD episode, negative SST anomalies cover the eastern tropical Indian Ocean and western tropical Pacific including the Indonesian seas, leading to suppress convective activities that result in reduce precipitation over the maritime continent. The situation is reversed during La Niña and/or negative IOD event. The results revealed that the high topography area (e.g. Bukit Barisan) was shown to be instrumental to the pattern of rainfall variability. During the 2010 negative IOD co-occurring with La Niña event, the rainfall was significantly increase over the region. This excess rainfall was associated with warm SST anomaly over the eastern tropical Indian Ocean and the Indonesian seas. On the other hand, extreme drought event tends to occur during the 2015 positive IOD simultaneously with the occurrence of the El Niño events Investigation on the SST patterns revealed that cold SST anomalies covered the Indonesian seas during the peak phase of the 2015 positive IOD and El Niño event

PENINGKATAN PENGETAHUAN MASYARAKAT TENTANG DIABETES MELLITUS MELALUI PELATIHAN PENGELOLAAN MAKAN DENGAN 3J BAGI PENDERITA BESERTA KELUARGANYA DI DESA TANJUNG PERING

Pandemi COVID-19 saat ini meningkatkan resiko morbiditas dan mortalitas pada pasien beresiko tinggi seperti diabetes mellitus (DM). DM adalah penyakit kronis yang dikarakterisasi dengan peningkatan kadar glukosa darah melampaui batas normal (hiperglikemia) serta gangguan metabolisme karbohidrat, lemak, dan protein akibat kelainan sekresi insulin, penurunan sensitivitas insulin, atau keduanya. Prevalensi DM selalu mengalami peningkatan dan ini juga terjadi di Kabupaten Ogan Ilir. Diet adalah terapi utama pada DM, maka setiap penderita semestinya mempunyai sikap positif terhadap diet. Dalam melaksanakan diet, penderita harus mengikuti anjuran aturan 3J (jumlah, jenis dan jadwal). Jenis dan jumlah makanan yang banyak mengandung gula serta jadwal makan yang tidak teratur dapat meningkatkan kadar gula darah sehingga terjadilah DM tipe 2. Kepatuhan akan pelaksanaan diet ini masih sangat rendah sehingga memicu munculnya DM tidak terkontrol yang menyebabkan berbagai komplikasi kronis seperti komplikasi mikrovaskular, makrovaskular, dan neuropati.Desa Tanjung Pering merupakan salah satu desa yang menjadi mitra kegiatan pengembangan Desa binaan Unsri sehingga menjadi salah satu daerah yang dituju UNSRI untuk menjalankan visinya demi mewujudkan kesejahteraan dan kemajuan masyarakat. Melalui penyuluhan tentang penyakit DM dan pelatihan teknik 3J diharapkan dapat membantu masyarakat dalam meningkatkan derajat kesehatan sehingga masyarakat dapat menjalankan kegiatan dengan maksimal dan ekonomi masyarakat tetap stabil.

Dynamics of the South Java Coastal Current revealed by RAMA observing network

A series of Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measurements moored along the equatorial and coastal wave-guide were used to evaluate the dynamics of the South Java Coastal Current (SJCC). 17-month (December 2008 to May 2010) data from the ADCP off South Java give some insights into the dynamics of the SJCC. The data reveal high variability in the upper 100 m depth, where the core of the SJCC is located. In addition, robust intraseasonal variations at period of 70 - 100 days dominate the SJCC variation. Consistent with previous studies, dynamics of the SJCC is strongly driven by the equatorial waves from the Indian Ocean. Due to a failure in ADCP measurement, the equatorial moorings only have a short overlapping period with the South Java mooring, from the boreal fall 2009 until spring 2010. Nevertheless, the data still exhibit coherence variations in which the strong eastward flow during the boreal fall 2009 and the spring 2010 that observed off South Java can be traced back to the equatorial region. Further analysis confirmed the important role of the remote winds from the equatorial Indian Ocean in affecting the SJCC variations through a generation of eastward propagating wind-forced equatorial Kelvin waves. Nevertheless, the contribution of the local wind forcing is not negligible in generating the SJCC variations
