    Abstract Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan asimetri kekuasaan sebagai paradoks dalam pengelolaan kolaborasi (co-management) sumber daya alam di Danau Tempe Sulawesi Selatan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus eksplanatif. Pengumpulan data menggunakan pengamatan terlibat dan wawancara mendalam. Informan kunci yang berasal dari unsur Pemerintah Daerah, nelayan besar, nelayan tradisional, petani, pedagang, dan LSM. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa pengelolaan Danau Tempe diwarnai oleh asimetri atau ketimpangan kekuasaan antar aktor. Aktor Nelayan besar bersama Pemerintah Daerah menguasai alat-alat produksi, mendominasi produksi kebijakan dan penentu utama penetapan aturan main pengelolaan Danau Tempe dibandingkan dengan nelayan tradisional. Asimetri kekuasaan antar aktor ini berdampak pada ketimpangan penerimaan manfat dan nilai alokasi sumber daya di Danau Tempe. Aktor Nelayan Besar dan Pemerintah Daerah mendapatkan manfaat dan nilai sumber daya alam lebih banyak. Sementara aktor Nelayan Tradisional mendapatkan manfaat dan nilai sumber daya alam lebih sedikit. Dalam tahap tertentu, aktor Nelayan Tradisional mengalami proses peminggiran.

    Abstract This study examined the physicochemical parameters of water and sediments in the Naltar Lakes, northern Pakistan. Water and sediments were sampled and analyzed for physicochemical parameters. Heavy metals such as iron (Fe, 11% and 12%), nickel (Ni, 100% and 88%), chromium (Cr, 22% and 12%), and arsenic (As, 0% and 12%) of sampling sites had surpassed the threshold of drinking water set by world health organization (WHO) in the Naltar Lake I (Naltar I) and Naltar Lake II (Naltar II), respectively. Water quality parameters were evaluated for the drinking and irrigation water quality indices (WQI). Drinking WQI values were found within the excellent category for Naltar I and Naltar II, except for the 6% of sampling sites observed in the good category. Toxic parameter concentrations were used for the risk indices, which revealed the highest average daily dose (ADD) values of 138 µg/kg-day and hazard quotient (HQ) 1.8 for children through nitrate (NO

    Abstract Sediments were considered a sink and potential source of heavy metals in the aquatic system. For this purpose, the present study examined surface sediments for spatial and temporal variation of heavy metals pollution and risk indices in the Gomal Zam Dam Basin (GZDB), Pakistan. Sediment samples (n = 20) were collected from the GZDB, i.e., Gomal Zam Dam, its inlets, and outlets in the winter and summer seasons of 2020, and examined for heavy metals such as zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn), lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), and cobalt (Co) concentrations. Among GZDB, results showed that the Zhob River Inlet had a higher levels of heavy metals in both seasons. The results revealed that pollution load index values were < 1, observing no pollution in the aquatic system. The risk indices values revealed that sampling sites showed no or very low risk during the summer, 84% of samples showed no or very low risk during the winter, and the rest noted with reasonable risks. Winter season showed higher average values of contamination and risk indices than summer. Statistical analyses revealed that the heavy metals contaminations were mainly due to geogenic sources of rock weathering and ore deposits, with minor contributions from anthropic activities. This study recommends regular monitoring of temporal studies on heavy metals contamination in the water of the GZDB.

    Abstract Determining the water contamination of a river that threatens the dependent ecological community is a pillar for sustainable management. For this purpose, the present study aimed to examine the water quality of the Ghizer River Basin (GRB), Gilgit-Baltistan, northern Pakistan, for drinking and irrigation. Water samples (n = 55) were collected from the GRB and analyzed for physicochemical parameters. Water basic parameters and anions were measured using the multi-parameter analyzer (CONSORT 6030, Belgium) and cations by the atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS, AAnalyst 700, PerkinElmer, USA). Physiochemical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), iodide (I), chloride (Cl), fluoride (F), nitrate (NO₃), sulfate (SO₄), bicarbonate (HCO₃), turbidity, calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), potassium (K), and sodium (Na) were noted to be within the drinking water permissible limits set by the World Health Organization (WHO). However, pH and turbidity surpassed their respective limits in 2% and 48% of water samples, respectively. Samples were assessed for water quality index (WQI) and irrigation water quality (IWQ) indices. The WQI values for most samples in the GRB were noted in the excellent (38.2%), good (58.2%), and poor (3.6%) categories. Similarly, most IWQ indices revealed that water is suitable and recommended for irrigation. Gibbs plots showed that most water samples in the GRB were noted in the precipitation dominance zone. The piper plot revealed the calcium–chloride (Ca–Cl) dominant hydrochemical facies.

    Abstract Thrace is a part of the Marmara Region northwest of Türkiye. This region hosts several lentic ecosystems used for irrigation and drinking water supply. The present study was conducted to analyze the temporal distributions of water quality parameters (WQPs) of lentic ecosystems (lacustrine habitats), including lakes (L1-L2), reservoirs (R1-R12), and ponds (P1-P19) of the Thrace Region. Thirty-three lacustrine habitats were identified in the region. Freshwaters were collected in the wet (end of winter) and dry (end of summer) seasons of 2021-2022 and tested for 12 WQPs. Data was evaluated for the water quality index (WQI) and nutrient pollution index (NPI) and their overall quality level. For the evaluation of non-carcinogenic health risk indices of WQPs, the chronic daily index (CDI), hazard quotient (HQ), and hazard index (HI) were applied. Cluster analysis (CA), Pearson correlation index (PCI), and principal component analysis (PCA) were used to classify the lacustrine habitats and identify the source of WQPs. The average values were as follows: 9.28 mg/L for dissolved oxygen (DO), 94.6% for oxygen (O

    Abstract The Dieng Plateau is an area used to cultivate Mountain Papaya (Vasconcellea pubescens A.DC.) as a food commodity in Indonesia. Research on diversity and relationships is vital as a first step in Mountain Papaya conservation in the Dieng Plateau. The study aims to determine the genetic diversity and relationship between Mountain Papaya accessions using Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) rDNA sequences. Fourteen accessions of Mountain Papaya with different sex distributions and altitudes are amplified using ITS1 and ITS4 primers. The genetic diversity is analyzed using the DnaSP 5.10.1 program. The Maximum Likelihood (ML) approach in MEGA 11 is utilized for assessing phylogenetic tree data based on ITS-rDNA regional sequences. With high haplotype diversity (Hd) values of 1.000 ± 0.027 and high nucleotide diversity (π) values of 0.09674 ± 0.00978, Mountain Papaya exhibits a high level of genetic diversity. Three main clades were identified in the phylogram tree based on the 14 ITS-rDNA sequences of Mountain Papaya. The results of this diversity data can support breeding programs intended to boost Mountain Papaya variety production.

    Abstract This study aims to determine the effect of the substitution of tofu flour and corn flour by the addition of sodium bicarbonate in a completely randomized design with two replicates. The first factor is the substitution of tofu flour: corn flour (S) are: S1=100:0, S2=25:75, S3=50:50, S4=75:25, and S5=0:100. The second factor is the effect of adding sodium bicarbonate (P), which consists of three levels, namely: P1=0.00 %, P2=0.20 %, and P3=0.30 %. The observed parameters: protein content, water content, fat content, ash content, and organoleptic texture, color, and flavor. The statistical analysis showed that the substitution of tofu flour: with corn flour provides a highly significant effect (P0.05) on the protein content, water content, fat content, ash content, organoleptic color, flavor, and texture. The effect adding sodium bicarbonate provides a highly significant effect (P0.05) on the protein content, moisture content, fat content, ash content, and organoleptic texture and no significant effect on organoleptic taste and color.

    Abstract Entrepreneurship is considered as one of the strategies for economic and regional development. In particular, women entrepreneurs engaged in different geographic locations, where their characteristics and business factors are different in each location. This study examines home-based women entrepreneurs in Pakistan in relation to their place of residence, specifically rural or urban context. Very few studies have considered place of residence as a variable affecting women's businesses at the household level. This is critical since the business context can exert a major influence on available resources and constraints that affect business viability and sustainability. Data were collected from 504 women entrepreneurs using a survey questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test, and binary logistics regression were used to achieve the objectives of the study. The findings revealed important and significant differences based on the rural versus urban context of women entrepreneurs including home ownership, household size, the number of adult family members in the household, family financial position, business record keeping, having a bank account, and type of business. While the binary logistic regression analysis reported adult family members, family financial position, business record keeping, bank account, and beautician business were the significant predictors of the women entrepreneurs' rural-urban model. The findings offer implications for policymakers, funders, bank/financial institutions, and non-governmental organizations for increasing women's entrepreneurship, empowerment, and income equality in developing countries.
