Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is a well-known enzyme sensitive to pesticide exposure, but heavy metal sensitivity is rarely reported. Here, AChE extracted from the brain tissue of Diodon hystrix was exploited and used in a fast and economical way to sensitively detect the existence of heavy metals in a water sample. An inhibitive enzyme assay was conducted, and the activity of AChE was found to be sensitive (> 20% inhibition) to sub-million levels of arsenic, cadmium, nickel, and zinc and less sensitive (< 20% inhibition) to copper and lead. While exposure to argentum, cobalt, and chromium shows no significant inhibition, AChE is not sensitive to those metal ions (p < 0.05). Field test work has proved that the assay is suitable for preliminary detecting heavy metal contamination in the river, especially near industrial and mining sites. Secondary validation was performed using ICP-OES to identify and measure the number of elements in the sample and compare them to the inhibition level of AChE activity.

Regional development is a fundamental change in the socio-economic, cultural, and institutional structure to overcome income inequality and alleviate poverty. Regional development aims to formulate and apply theoretical frameworks into policies and programs by integrating social and environmental aspects to realise optimal and sustainable welfare. Learning the role of strategic areas and regional sustainability is necessary to support complete service facilities. The construction of good service facilities ensures efficiency, facilitates the movement of goods and services and increases the added value of the economy. This study looks at the spatial diversity of the factors that influence the Service Facility Index to develop a sustainable west-east corridor strategic economic area. The method used in this research is the scalogram method and Geographically Weighted Regression, with the unit of analysis being the sub-district. The analysis results show that the spatial pattern of the Service Facility Index based on the investigation of Moran I is random along the west-east corridor. The factors that significantly affect the sustainable development of the west-east corridor are the area’s population and altitude.

The driving cycle is critical in producing and evaluating the vehicle’s performance. A driving cycle is a set of speed-time data used as a key input in car emission models. In this article, a driving cycle for Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia, is proposed and created. The driving cycle data collection route was chosen based on the most common path taken by drivers to get to work. The parameters for the driving data in each run are calculated and then the target value parameter is developed. The lowest percentage error is accepted as the KTDC (Kuala Terengganu Driving Cycle). Later, a Kuala Terengganu Driving Cycle (KTDC) is developed with 37.52 km/h in average speed and 8 micro-trips. Then, the KTDC is compared with the existing standard driving cycle such as NEDC and UDDS.

Scuba diving is one of the fastest growing and most popular tourism activities, generating approximately a billion dollars for global diving destinations. Scuba diving tourists are willing to travel worldwide to experience diving activities at island destinations offering underwater attractions. Besides highlighting the uniqueness of dive sites, the performance of dive guides can influence a scuba diving tourists’ satisfaction. This exploratory study examines the influence of the dive guides’ professional competencies on satisfaction of the tourists with availing tour packages by assessing the dive guides’ service quality. This study reports the findings obtained from the responses of 345 dive tourists who have availed of diving packages in Malaysia. This study validates that professional competency among dive guides positively affects service quality and a tourists’ satisfaction. Among the findings is the importance of scuba diving operators in providing continuous practical implications to dive guides in order to help them identify their niche market of scuba diving tourists.

As hotels grow, the social and environmental problems they pose are becoming more and more complex. This study aims to develop a framework to identify the role of environmental management accounting and the effects of green competitive advantage on sustainability performance. This study uses an explanatory research approach by investigating the effect of green competitive advantages on sustainability performance mediated by environmental management accounting. This study analyses the responses of general managers of hotels in Indonesia as many as 287 respondents. Data was collected by self-administered surveys and the results were analysed using structural equation modeling to test conceptual models and hypotheses. It was observed that green competitive advantage is an essential factor for companies to improve the achievement of sustainable performance. Environmental management accounting directs the management to environmental aspects, communicates the relationship between employee actions and the organization’s sustainable goals and encourages the setting of sustainability performance priorities. Competitive advantage causes variations in the application of environmental management accounting to realise sustainable practices. The findings of this study indicate the importance of implementing environmental management accounting to realise competitive advantages in organisations; therefore, environmental management accounting mediates the relationship between green competitive advantages and sustainability performance.

The hazardous and toxic waste material from domestic and office sectors in Semarang is directly disposed of in the Jatibarang landfill without further processing. Appropriate management is needed as has been implemented in the medical sector. Therefore, this study aims to simulate the appropriate hazardous and toxic waste management in Semarang City from the domestic and office sectors. This research was conducted by analysing the existing conditions of hazardous and toxic waste management, followed by establishing a scenario of waste treatment through the projection of hazardous and toxic waste produced. The total waste generation of Semarang in 2031 is predicted to be 283.08 m3/day. It is predicted that Semarang City will require 22 incinerators to treat all of the waste. The ash residue would then be dumped in a hazardous waste landfill covering 0.89 hectares. Hazardous and toxic waste management, specifically from the domestic and office sectors, is expected to prevent adverse impacts on human health and the environment.

While there has been much talk about the integrative, indivisible, and interlinked strategies to achieve the SDGs (UN Sustainable Development Goals), the interactions and interdependencies are generally not explicit. Challenges remain to simultaneously capture the multilayered relationships among SDGs to strategically and coherently align national development plans. In this paper, we use systems thinking and systems dynamics modelling analysis to capture the cross-effects of intervention policies by taking one national indicator for each of the three selected goals. These are budget inclusiveness (increase in public expenditure on health) in SDG 3 (on good health and well-being), literacy rates (literacy rate of youth in the age group of 15-24 years) in SDG 4 (on quality education) and equity (employment gender bias) in SDG 5 (on gender equality) together to assess their effect on the SDG 8 (of decent work and economic growth). A Causal Loop Diagram (CLD) has been used to present the qualitative structure of the model. In our modelling, we logically draw interlinkages and then attempt to support them with existing evidence. Our main result is to confirm that reinforcing loops of such interventions exist, which are important for sustainable development policy. We have extended the Causal Loop Diagram (CLD) by proposing what effects could be realised in other SDGs related to poverty (SDG 1), sustainable consumption and production (SDG 12), and global partnerships (SDG 17). The paper concludes that such analysis will bring interlinkages to the foreground for prioritising the national goals and targets and hence implement policies in priority areas achievable by 2030 for India on a development strategy informed by systems thinking.

Ecotourism is vital in reducing negative environmental impacts and helping sustainable development. Developing ecotourism destinations require comprehensive studies, including the feasibility and priority of the tourist attractions. Many studies concentrate on ecotourism development; however, only a few reports deal with feasibility and priority, particularly biodiversity. Tanah Laut, a regency in the southeast part of Borneo Island has excellent ecotourism potential. This study aims to assess the feasibility and priority of seven ecotourism attractions through simultaneous methods consisting of the Analysis of Natural Tourist Attractions (ANTA) and the Exponential Comparison Method (ECM) for their feasibility and priority, consecutively. 10 criteria were involved in the ECM analysis: Natural and environment, human resources, market potential, transportation and communication, infrastructure, institutional support, security, tourism support, social and culture, and physical condition. The ANTA analysis showed that the seven ecotourism attractions in Tanah Laut Regency satisfy the minimum feasibility criteria to be developed as ecotourism objects. Furthermore, Mount Birah was elected the most priority due to its natural, human resources and market potential. This study suggests that simultaneous methods of ANTA and ECM could be used as adequate tools in a decision-support system for ecotourism development.

To improve the implementation of climate change adaptation and mitigation, the Indonesian government launched the Climate Village Program (CVP). However, the program’s success is determined by the community’s awareness and perception of climate change because these factors influence the implementation of adaptation and mitigation. This study investigates farmers’ awareness, risk perceptions and adaptation to climate change in the CVP’s locations. The study was conducted in Sleman and Sukoharjo Regencies, with a sample of 186 rice farmers selected using a simple random sampling method. Unpaired t-test analysis and bivariate ordered probit regression were developed in this study. The findings show that CVP farmers are more aware of dry and rainy season temperatures, wind speed during the rainy season and the uncertainty of changing seasons than non-CVP farmers, with differences in awareness (in per cent) of 16.73, 7.086, 5.851 and 14.016, respectively. CVP farmers also have a higher perception of the risk of increasing wind speed than non-CVP farmers with a perception difference (in per cent) of 11.678. The location of the CVP increases the likelihood of awareness but does not affect risk perception. Furthermore, we also found a link between awareness, risk perception, adaptation to climate change and CVP.

The Muda Agricultural Development Authority (MADA) paddy estate project represents Malaysia’s national effort to enhance food security. However, the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) by Malaysia falls short of attaining the 10 MT/Ha paddy productivity potential. Amidst rising food insecurity, national efforts have focused on improving the efficiency of domestic productivity, this study specifically assessed factors influencing paddy productivity under the MADA estate project. Against the econometric technique, the causal loop diagram (CLD) in the system dynamics (SD) approach was used to analyse the systemic character of productivity and its drivers. The systemic relationship was explored using expert interviews and an extensive literature reviews. Findings established four major sub-systems of the rice value chain. These include paddy production, rice production, government subsidy and self-sufficiency level. The loop polarity feature was used to establish the causal relationships and directions of causality between the sub-systems. This study contributes directly to EPP10 and EPP11 of the ETP.

However, the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) by Malaysia falls short of attaining the 10 MT/Ha paddy productivity potential. Amidst rising food insecurity, national efforts have focused on improving the efficiency of domestic productivity, this study specifically assessed factors influencing paddy productivity under the MADA estate project. Against the econometric technique, the causal loop diagram (CLD) in the system dynamics (SD) approach was used to analyse the systemic character of productivity and its drivers. The systemic relationship was explored using expert interviews and an extensive literature reviews. Findings established four major sub-systems of the rice value chain. These include paddy production, rice production, government subsidy and self-sufficiency level. The loop polarity feature was used to establish the causal relationships and directions of causality between the sub-systems. This study contributes directly to EPP10 and EPP11 of the ETP. As a result, it supports Malaysia’s effort towards strengthening food security and self-sufficiency.","PeriodicalId":17041,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF SUSTAINABILITY SCIENCE AND MANAGEMENT","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49558132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
