Perubahan Penggunaan Lahan dan Dampaknya terhadap Erosi di Daerah Aliran Sungai Wae Lela Kota Ambon

High population of inhabitans in watershed area is an important factor which increase watershed's damage so that, proper land conservation should be done. Research in the watershed Wae Lela has been done to analyze the dominant factors causing soil erosion due to changes in land use, and determine the amount of erosion after land use change in the watershed. The research method was field survey with a synthetic approach pattern by using free surveys observation distance. This observation distance used according to the pattern of land use changes on certain land units, with the type of profile observations/boring. The study found that land use in the watershed Wae Lela has undergone considerable changes in the last 25 years between 1988-2013. Natural forest generally has been transformed to be used for landfarming. Fram planted with multiple cropping of cloves, nutmeg, coconut, tubers, vegetable was become less effective to prevent erosion. This change leads to increased erosion which mainly occurred in mixed farm area up to 6415.06 t/ha/year; covered an area of 220.6 ha or 26.2% of the research area

Previously unpublished Odonata records from Sarawak, Borneo, part VI: Miri Division including checklists for Niah, Lambir Hills, Loagan Bunut and Pulong Tau National Parks

Recods of Odonata made from 2005 to 2020 in Miri Division in Sarawak are presented, including records from Lambir Hills, Loagan Bunut, Niah and Pulong Tau National Parks. Primary types of Odonata originating from Miri Division are listed. Surveys of more than one day duration in Miri Division and covered here are tabulated with the funding source where appropriate; four of the surveys covered here were funded by the International Dragonfly Fund. One hundred and eighty-eight species are listed based on surveys made by the authors, of which Macromia jucunda Lieftinck, 1955, had not been recorded from Borneo before, Burmagomphus arthuri Lieftinck, 1953 is a new record for Miri Division and Camacinia gigantea (Brauer, 1867) has only been recorded from the Division re-cently with the only published record in a difficult to access publication (Choong (2020)). At least 48 more of the species listed were recorded from Miri Division for the first time in surveys covered in this report, although the records have been published (in most cases with no details beyond division and district in Dow (2021)) before. Two forms of Xiphi-agrion cyanomelas Selys, 1876 are recorded and the likelihood that they represent different species is discussed. A possibly new, large sized, species of Macromia allied to M. westwoodii Selys, 1874 is recorded and discussed. Other notable records not published with details before include Rhinocypha stygia Förster, 1897, Rhinoneura caerulea Kimmins, 1936, Dysphaea lugens (Selys, 1873), Euphaea ameeka van Tol & Norma-Rashid, 1995, Euphaea basalis (Laidlaw, 1915), Amphicnemis new sp. cf mariae Lieftinck, 1940 (previously recorded from Usun Apau National Park), Anaciaeschna jaspidea (Burmeister, 1839), Heliaeschna uninervulata Martin, 1909, Borneogomphus sp., Heliogomphus borneensis Lieftinck, 1964, Ictinogomphus acutus (Laidlaw, 1914), Chlorogomphus sp., Macromia corycia Laidlaw, 1922, Idionyx montana Karsch, 1891, Hylaeothemis clementia Ris, 1909, Orchithemis xanthosoma Laidlaw, 1911, Rhyothemis fulgens Kirby, 1889, Rhyothemis regia (Brauer, 1867), Tetrathemis sp. cf platyptera Selys, 1878, Tramea phaeoneura Lieftinck, 1953 and Tramea sp. cf virginia (Rambur, 1842). The habitat preferences of Dysphaea lugens are discussed. A male-male tandem of Coeliccia nigrohamata Laidlaw, 1918 is reported. The somewhat peculiar distribution of Argiocnemis rubescens rubeola Selys, 1877 and Pseudothemis jorina Förster, 1904 in Sarawak is discussed. Activity of the apparently normally crepuscular Heliaeschna uninervulata in the middle of the day is reported. An interesting morphological detail of some female Chlorogomphus from Sarawak is discussed. The likelihood that Macromia corycia is a junior synonym of M. gerstaeckeri Krüger, 1899 is discussed. The possibility that the range of Rhyothemis regia is expanding in Sarawak is remarked upon. The identity of Tramea sp. cf virginia is discussed. With the records presented here at least 222 species of Odonata are known from Miri Division and with the addition of Macromia jucunda to the known fauna, 309 species have now been recorded from Sarawak. More detailed specimen records are given in Appendix 1 and a revised checklist of Odonata from Lambir Hills National Park and the first checklis from Loagan Bunut, Niah and Pulong Tau National Parks are given in Appendix 2

Detection of outliers in the complex linear regression model

The existence of outliers in any type of data affects the estimation of models’ parameters. To date there are very few literatures on outlier detection tests in circular regression and it motivated us to propose simple techniques to detect any outliers. This paper considered the complex linear regression model to fit circular data. The complex residuals of complex linear regression model were expressed in two different ways in order to detect possible outliers. Numerical example of the wind direction data was used to illustrate the efficiency of proposed procedures. The results were very much in agreement with the results obtained by using the circular residuals of the simple regression model for circular variables

Outlier detection in a circular regression model using COVRATIO statistic

In this article, we model the relationship between two circular variables using the circular regression models, to be called JS circular regression model, which was proposed by Jammalamadaka and Sarma (1993). The model has many interesting properties and is sensitive enough to detect the occurrence of outliers. We focus our attention on the problem of identifying outliers in this model. In particular, we extend the use of the COVRATIO statistic, which has been successfully used in the linear case for the same purpose, to the JS circular regression model via a row deletion approach. Through simulation studies, the cut-off points for the new procedure are obtained and its power of performance is investigated. It is found that the performance improves when the resulting residuals have small variance and when the sample size gets larger. An example of the application of the procedure is presented using a real dataset

Odonata of Maludam National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia

This paper presents records of Odonata collected in July 2012 in Maludam National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia. A total of 48 species from nine families were collected. Three species were new to science, one of which has already been described as Prodasineura yulan Dow &amp; Ngiam, which may be endemic to Maludam. In addition, Maludam is only the second locality recorded in Sarawak for four poorly known species: Pachycypha aurea, Macrogomphus decemlineatus, Brachygonia ophelia and Brachygonia puella. Two of these species, Macrogomphus decemlineatus and Brachygonia ophelia, are recorded for the first time in Sarawak in more than 100 years. </div
