Kemungkinan kaitan antara kekurangan Vitamin D dan pneumonia (radang paru-paru) sedang ditelusuri dalam dua studi di Indonesia yang dilakukan peneliti Indonesia dan Australia.

Tim peneliti menelusuri kejadian dan tingkat keparahan infeksi saluran pernapasan pada anak usia dini, termasuk flu biasa, asma, radang paru-paru, dan bronkiolitis di lingkup rumah sakit dan masyarakat, agar dapat memberikan lebih banyak informasi mengenai cara pengobatan dan penanganan penyakit pernapasan.

Fishing for food security

Local fishermen in Indonesia are catching less fish. Whatever the reason, it is a significant problem for those who live on small islands in particular, as fish make up about 90 per cent of the protein they eat.

A team of Indonesian and Australian social scientists is looking at how communities adapt to these changes.

Blood reveals Great Barrier Reef sharks as homebodies

Small Australian sharks have been exposed as bigger homebodies than previously thought, in a study that took an existing chemical tracking technique and made it work for Great Barrier Reef sharks.

The study found that the travel history of the Australian sharpnose shark was written in their blood—with chemical ‘fin-prints’ showing they tended to stay within smaller areas than previously believed.

“Small-bodied sharks that are both predator and prey, such as the Australian sharpnose, may be particularly important links between food webs,” says lead researcher Dr Sam Munroe, who studied the sharks while at James Cook University in Townsville.

“Information on their movements can improve our understanding of how the ecosystems function, while also helping us predict species most at risk from the impacts of a changing environment.”

Gravitational waves herald a new era in physics

In 1915, Einstein’s theory of general relativity presented a new way of understanding how the Universe worked.

It was a whole new way of thinking about time and space—but it was all theory.

Over the intervening century, nearly all of Einstein’s work has been proven. Except no one could find the gravity waves—dubbed ‘the drums of heaven’ by some physicists.

Until now.

Over sixty-five million Indonesians live off the grid. But what does that mean in the era of micro-grids, batteries and efficient solar panels? And how do communities change with 24/7 energy?

Providing reliable electric power is one of the keys to unlocking the potential of the remote islands and landlocked areas of Indonesia and of Australia’s north, a priority for both countries.

Today the Indonesian Minister for Energy and Mineral Resources, Sudirman Said, will open the Indonesian Clean Energy Centre of Excellence in Bali, with Australia to be an important partner in the Centre’s new activities.

Lebih dari enam puluh lima juta rakyat Indonesia hidup tanpa listrik. Apa maknanya dalam era jaringan mikro, baterai, dan panel surya yang efisien? Bagaimana masyarakat berubah dengan listrik tersedia setiap saat?

Pasokan listrik yang andal adalah salah satu kunci untuk membuka potensi pulau-pulau terpencil dan kawasan pedalaman di Indonesia dan Australia utara, area yang diprioritaskan oleh kedua negara.
