Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractEnergy Positive Futures: A Critical Overview of Energy Plus BuildingsErdem CuceEnergy Plus Buildings (EPBs) represent a transformative leap in sustainable architecture by producing more energy than they consume annually. As nations commit to net-zero targets and climate resilience, EPBs serve as living laboratories for integrating renewable energy, energy-efficient systems, and smart technologies. This editorial synthesises current advancements, policy frameworks, and technological integrations enabling EPBs. It also critically examines the barriers, … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 8 Jan 2026 · 2,929 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLand Cover Changes from Forest Fires Using CA-Markov in Pelalawan, IndonesiaApri Zulmi Hardi, Abdulkader Ali MuradForest and land fires pose significant risks to ecosystems, particularly in Pelalawan Regency, Indonesia, where slash-and-burn practices during the dry season exacerbate peatland degradation. This study integrates Cellular Automata (CA) and Markov-chain analysis to model and predict land cover changes and carbon stock dynamics over the next 20 years. The model projects spatial patterns of land cover changes from 2002-2033 … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2024 · 4,874 accessesView PDFCite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Pest and Diseases on Mangrove Forest Rehabilitation in Indonesia: A ReviewAndi Aznan Aznawi, Mohammad Basyuni et al.Mangroves are the constituent plants of tropical and subtropical intertidal regions of forest communities, comprising a biotic and abiotic environment for ecosystem services. Biotic factors greatly affect the health of mangrove forests, the decline in health in mangrove ecosystems is caused by pests and diseases on the leaves. The presence of pests and diseases that attack mangrove plants resulted in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 9 Jul 2024 · 5,926 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Identification and Quantification of Marine Fish from Environmental DNA in Sulawesi Waters (Makassar Strait, Flores Sea and Bone Bay), IndonesiaNita Rukminasari, Andi Aliah Hidayani, Wilma Joanna Carolina Moka et al.The emergence of environmental DNA (eDNA) represents a recent methodological breakthrough for evaluating the presence of aquatic vertebrate species. This approach offers a relatively simple method with significant implications for conservation biology. Our study aim was to augment our understanding of marine fish biodiversity in Sulawesi waters. We employed eDNA metabarcoding to investigate fish biodiversity within Sulawesi waters, specifically focusing … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 5 Jul 2024 · 5,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUltrastructural Morphology of the Muscle System Organization in the Trematode Typhlocoelium cucumerinumIrina Yurievna Chidunchi, Ainagul Balgauovna Kaliyeva, Natalya Petrovna Korogod et al.Trematodes, also known as flatworms, are a diverse group of parasitic organisms that live in a variety of ecosystems, from freshwater to marine habitats. Their complex life cycle often involves intermediate and definitive hosts and multiple developmental stages. Trematodes have unique morphological features that allow them to adapt, move and parasitize within host tissues and organs. The parasitic lifestyle of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 1 Jun 2024 · 5,112 accessesView PDFCite
