  • Development of Bilingual Children's Fiction with the Theme Jambinese Local Wisdom, Local Language and Culture
    DEVELOPMENT OF BILINGUAL CHILDREN’S FICTION WITH THE THEME JAMBINESE LOCAL WISDOM, LOCAL LANGUAGE AND CULTURE Armiwati, Tubagus Zam Zam Al Arif Jambi University E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Children’s literature is as an creative imagination which is expressed in a series of events that are full of simple messages. Children's literature aims to introduce life descriptions that are meaningful to children related to their age. Through this creative imagination , children will get to know and explore their environment both in the natural and social environment in an entertaining and fun way without coercion or stating of being adjusted. Norton (2010:3) states developing positive attitudes toward our own culture and the culture of other is necessary for both social and personal development. Through a collection of children's stories with the theme of Jambinese local wisdom, language and culture in the frame of the diversity, in hopes, to introduce and build children’s attitudes to always appreciate what is in their environment. The collection of children's stories is a medium of communication with children to stimulate children’s imagination and develops a positive attitude towards their social environments; parents, teachers, brothers, sisters and their friends as instilling ethical values as the character of the Indonesian nation. Thus children's literature will provide an aesthetic experience of Jambinese local wisdom, language and culture and will stimulate intellectual and emotional responses for children through imagination in accordance with their age. Keywords: Children ’Literature, Local Language, Parents. Children’s literature is a result of imagination creativity which is outlined in a series of events that are full of simple messages.

  • This Keyword List Contains Indian Ocean Place Names of Coral Reefs, Islands, Bays and Other Geographic Features in a Hierarchical Structure
    CoRIS Place Keyword Thesaurus by Ocean - 8/9/2016 Indian Ocean This keyword list contains Indian Ocean place names of coral reefs, islands, bays and other geographic features in a hierarchical structure. For example, the first name on the list - Bird Islet - is part of the Addu Atoll, which is in the Indian Ocean. The leading label - OCEAN BASIN - indicates this list is organized according to ocean, sea, and geographic names rather than country place names. The list is sorted alphabetically. The same names are available from “Place Keywords by Country/Territory - Indian Ocean” but sorted by country and territory name. Each place name is followed by a unique identifier enclosed in parentheses. The identifier is made up of the latitude and longitude in whole degrees of the place location, followed by a four digit number. The number is used to uniquely identify multiple places that are located at the same latitude and longitude. For example, the first place name “Bird Islet” has a unique identifier of “00S073E0013”. From that we see that Bird Islet is located at 00 degrees south (S) and 073 degrees east (E). It is place number 0013 at that latitude and longitude. (Note: some long lines wrapped, placing the unique identifier on the following line.) This is a reformatted version of a list that was obtained from ReefBase. OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean > Addu Atoll > Bird Islet (00S073E0013) OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean > Addu Atoll > Bushy Islet (00S073E0014) OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean > Addu Atoll > Fedu Island (00S073E0008)

  • The Impact of Forest and Peatland Exploitation Towards Decreasing Biodiversity of Fishes in Rangau River, Riau-Indonesia
    I J A B E R, Vol. 14, No. 14 (2016): 10343-10355 THE IMPACT OF FOREST AND PEATLAND EXPLOITATION TOWARDS DECREASING BIODIVERSITY OF FISHES IN RANGAU RIVER, RIAU-INDONESIA Yustina* Abstract: This survey study was periodically conducted in July, 6 times every year. There were 3 periods: 1st period (2002); 2nd period (2008) and 3rd period (2014). It sheds light on the impact of forest and peat land exploitation on decreasing biodiversity of fishes in Rangau River, Riau- Indonesia. Using some catching tools such as landing net, fishing trap, fishnet stocking and fishing rod. The sampling activity was administered at eight stations which were conducted by applying “catch per unit effort technique” in primary time: 19.30-07.30, for 3 repetitions for each fish net measurement within 30 minutes at every station, at position or continuously casting. The sampled fish were selected which were relatively in minor size but had represent their features and species. The fish were labelled and were preserved with 40% formalin. The determination and identification of fish were conducted at laboratory. Secondary data was collected by mean of interviewing the local fishermen about the surrounding environment condition of Rangau river. Data analysis consisted of biodiversity data, biodiversity index and fish existence frequency. The finding in 1st period, in 2002, total caught fish were 60 species: 36 genera and 17 families. In 2nd period in 2008, total caught fish were 38 species which consist of 30 genera and 16 families. In 3rd period, in 2014, there were 23 of fish species were found comprising 17 genera, 12 families.

Biodiversitas 19: 1366-1374. River is a habitat for many aquatic organisms. Water quality is the main river characteristic that strongly influences distribution pattern, biodiversity, and abundance of aquatic organisms. Nekton is aquatic organism that swims and moves actively on their desire, for example, fish, shrimp, amphibian and also big aquatic insects. The purpose of this research was to know the habitat condition and biodiversity of nekton in the upstream of Wampu watershed. The habitat condition was measured by examining the temperature, visibility, flow velocity, depth of waters, dissolved oxygen, pH, kind of substrate, the width of the river, body width of river and rate of flow of the river. The type of nekton was determined by catching the nekton using a backpack of electrofishing unit with an electric flow of 12 Volt and 9 Ampere.

  • The Properties of Sediment Transport Mechanism in River Mouth of Rupat Strait
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 21 December 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202012.0531.v1 Article The properties of Sediment transport mechanism in River Mouth of Rupat Strait Mubarak Mubarak 1,* , Rifardi Rifardi 1, Ahmad Nurhuda 1 and Albert Sulaiman 2 1 Department of Marine Science, Riau University, Indonesia 2 Research Center for Physics, Indonesian Institute of Sciences - LIPI, Indonesia * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The Rupat Strait, a part of the Malacca Strait, is recognized as semi-closed waters and shows a high activity; thus, discovering the transport sediment mechanism of the strait as consequence of ambient and anthropogenic forces is essential. Hydrodynamic and sediment transport modelling was constructed using the 2-Dimensional Explicit method which is averaged over depth. The results show that the dispersion of sediment at high tide is longer than that at low tide. This follows hydrodynamic model in which current velocity at high tide is greater than the ocean current at the low tide. The previous sediment observation supports the results of transport sediment modelling, indicating that the anthropogenic factors are highly associated with the sedimentation in the Rupat strait. Keywords: River mouth, Rupat Strait; sediment transport; tidal current 1. Introduction The Rupat Strait constitutes a part of the Mallaca strait and is known as semi-closed waters, with fluctuating currents controlled by the monsoons. The sediments in the Rupat Strait are dominated by fine and very fine sediments with a muddy beach type and well sorted and fine sediments transported by tides [1]. Fine sediment transport plays an important role in the formation of coastal morphology especially in intertidal zone.

  • Environmental Characteristics of Rupat Strait Riau Province
    Proceedings of the International Seminar (Industrialization of Fisheries and Marine Resources, FAPERIKA-UNRI 2012) ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS OF RUPAT STRAIT RIAU PROVINCE by: Syahril Nedi (Marine Chemistry Laboratory. Department of Marine Science. Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences University of Riau) Abstract Rupat Strait is one of small strait in Malacca Strait which located in among coastal of Town Dumai area with the Rupat Island in Riau Province. Dumai is known as oil city because there are two of the largest oil companies, namely PT Pertamina and Chevron Pacific Indonesia. In normal conditions, high waves in the Strait of Rupat range 0.07 to 0.21 m, flow velocity 0.22-0.82 m/ s and depths 3-27 m. The middle of the deepest part and the cruise line. Position of Rupat Strait semi-closed with the condition of semi- diurnal tide has potency to cause the happening of oil accumulation in territorial water which can generate the damage of ecosystem territorial waters. Strait Rupat own the variety of various type mangrove representing habitat of various fish type and protect the coast from wave and aberration. Various transportation activity, processing and oil distribution in coastal area of Dumai cause the territorial water of Strait of Rupat gristle to oil contamination. Key Words: Riau Province, Rupat Strait, semi-closed and oil accumulation 1. BACKGROUND The coastal area is very important and rich in natural resources and the development of environmental services. The intensity of the high coastal resource use can cause degradation of aquatic ecosystems, one of which is oil pollution.
