Hasanuddin University (Indonesian: Universitas Hasanuddin) which is abbreviated as Unhas, is one of the largest autonomous universities in Indonesia. It is located in Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Unhas was established on September 10, 1956, and named after Sultan Hasanuddin, a former King of the Gowa Kingdom.
Abstract This study examines the socioeconomic impacts of the March 2024 earthquake on household resilience in Bawean Island, East Java, Indonesia. Data for this study were collected through a survey with a snowball sampling technique, with a total of 221 valid respondents from affected regions. Using a household survey across 12 affected villages and partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), the study identifies critical factors contributing to household resilience, namely social, economic, human, and physical capital assets. The findings can be explained in two ways. First, the result confirms social, economic, human, and physical capital as critical resilience determinants. Second, higher household resilience could reduce the impact of natural disasters. This study can be an input for policymakers to strengthen household resilience in disaster-prone areas to support sustainable development goals (SDGs).
Seagrass ecosystems support marine biodiversity, coastal resilience, and climate regulation, but are increasingly exposed to climate change and anthropogenic pressures. Indonesia contains globally significant seagrass resources and requires spatially explicit tools that translate ecological and climate information into management priorities. This study developed a quantitative framework for assessing seagrass climate vulnerability across 18 Indonesian study sites using ecological monitoring data, SST-based climate indicators for 1981–2018, and an independent emission-related pressure layer. Ecological condition and climate exposure were integrated into the Seagrass Climate Vulnerability Index (SCVI), and SCVI classes were combined with emission-pressure classes through the Seagrass Climate Risk Interaction Matrix (SCRIM). A symmetric sensitivity analysis across five ecological-versus-exposure weighting configurations showed high agreement among site rankings (Kendall’s W = 0.960), supporting the retention of equal weighting as a representative central estimate rather than an assumed reference. Results showed marked spatial heterogeneity: Ternate, Raja Ampat, and Karimunjawa were classified as relative high-risk sites, whereas Selayar, Makassar, and Sikka were identified as relative potential-refugia candidates under the low-SCVI–low-emission combination. The SCVI–SCRIM framework provides a transparent decision-support approach for preventive conservation, restoration targeting, enhanced monitoring, and pressure reduction in data-limited marine spatial planning contexts.
Introduction Household economic conditions may influence treatment access and recovery, especially where rehabilitation financing and employment support are uneven. This study examined respondent- and household-level economic consequences associated with drug use in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Methods A retrospective cross-sectional survey included 59 respondents in Makassar City and Sidenreng Rappang Regency between 23 October 2025 and 8 February 2026. Descriptive statistics summarized income, household expenditure, rehabilitation expenditure and financing, unemployment, and asset liquidation. A paired-sample t-test compared reported monthly income before drug-related involvement with current income. Results Mean monthly income declined from IDR 2,660,169 to IDR 1,552,542 (mean difference IDR 1,107,627; 95% CI 581,891-1,633,363; t(58) = 4.22, p < 0.001; Cohen's dz = 0.55). Household expenditure increased for 53 respondents (89.8%); among them, 69.8% reported an increase below IDR 500,000 per month. Reported cumulative rehabilitation expenditure averaged IDR 1,440,677 (range 0–25,000,000). Rehabilitation was financed mainly by families (59.3%) or respondents themselves (27.1%), and 55.9% reported difficulty paying. Unemployment was reported by 66.1%, and 8.5% reported asset sales. Conclusions Drug-related economic strain was associated with lower reported income, additional household expenditure, and barriers to rehabilitation affordability and reintegration. Recovery-oriented systems should combine affordable treatment with employment support and social protection.
Dopamine, a critical neurotransmitter, plays a pivotal role in regulating various physiological and neurological processes. The detection and monitoring of dopamine levels are essential for understanding the pathophysiology of diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and depression. Reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-based electrochemical sensors have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional properties, including superior electrical conductivity, expansive surface area, and remarkable functionalization potential. This review article provides a comprehensive discussion of recent advancements over the past eight years in rGO-based dopamine electrochemical sensors, encompassing rGO synthesis techniques and surface modification methods. The integration of rGO with other materials, such as inorganic compounds, polymers, and biomolecules, is also examined to assess sensor performance metrics, including detection limit, sensitivity, and linear range. Finally, we elucidate future research prospects for the development of more effective rGO-based dopamine electrochemical sensors.
Climate change profoundly affects the phytochemical profiles and therapeutic potentials of medicinal plants through environmental stressors such as rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and increased atmospheric CO2 levels. This review critically examines the mechanisms underlying these impacts, focusing on physiological plant responses, shifts in primary and secondary metabolite biosynthesis, and the consequent effects on medicinal efficacy and toxicity. Our findings indicate that elevated CO2 often enhances biomass production but exerts variable effects on bioactive compound concentrations; temperature fluctuations disrupt phenological phases, thereby altering medicinal quality; and water stress significantly modulates secondary metabolite profiles. While these environmental challenges threaten plant-based healthcare, potential mitigation strategies—including sustainable agricultural practices, genetic engineering, and conservation approaches—are discussed as viable solutions. We recommend future research to emphasize metabolomics, interdisciplinary methodologies, and integration of traditional knowledge to bolster resilience and preserve the therapeutic efficacy of medicinal plants amid ongoing climatic uncertainties.
