"Estuaries, which are rich in nutrient, act as a habitat to some aquatic lives, including mangroves. Human-induced activities such as dredging and shoreline development influence estuarine dynamics which includes mixing process. This will further affect estuarine salinity and adversely affect the aquatic life. A laboratory investigation was conducted in a flume to observe the mixing in a salt-wedge estuary. Three conditions were studied, i.e. mixing in ordinary estuary, mixing in an estuary with a presence of smaller deep channel and mixing in an estuary with a presence of resisting structures along the channel banks. Freshwater was run from one end of the channel, overflowing a weir at the other end, while salt water was introduced at the base of the weir and intruded upstream as gravity current. Mixing in open channel occurs in longitudinal, vertical and transverse directions. The spatial and temporal salt-water intrusions were studied where the mixing patterns were visualized using red dye tracer. To have better understanding on the mixing process, salinity patterns are studied through the plotted isohalines. The spatial and temporal salinity profiles in the flume are also studied through plotted graphs. The results show that salinity differences occurred due to the interfacial mixing between saline and freshwater"

"ABSTRAKA cross sectional study to determine the salt consumption at household level was carried out in Sukabumi District. Two hundred households with children 1-5 years were selected randomly. This study consisted of interviews of the mothers, observation of iodized salt usage and analysis of the iodine content in iodized salt. The results showed that all households in the study area have used iodized salt but they were not aware that. they used iodized salt. The average salt consumption at household level was 4.8 gr per day per capita with majority iodine intake (71 %) less than 100 pg. Using lodometry test, 47 % of households had iodine content in iodized salt was less than 30 ppm. In general, all cooked food used salt except for rice as staple food, but not all of food prepared with salt were consumed by children 1-5 years. According to mothers' perception, the mother with better knowledge had higher percentages on using iodized salt and also had better educational level. These findings showed that the recommended iodine intake by WHO of 100-300 pg per day per capita was not fulfilled, mainly because of the low quality of iodized salt, as well as improper ways of salt storage and food preparations. Lack of knowledge due to low educational level of mother was worsening this condition."

"Salah satu tema yang paling menonjol dalam The Book of Salt, novel perdana oleh Monique Truong, adalah unsur makanan, kuliner, dan urusan dapur. Novel tersebut menyajikan suatu cerita seorang koki gay dari Vietnam bernama Binh, yang terkucilkan dan terpaksa mengangkat kaki dari tanah airnya menuju tanah air penjajahnya akibat hubungannya dengan atasannya yang tidak direstui, baik oleh keluarganya maupun masyarakatnya. Cerita yang penuh tragedi ini diceritakan dengan latar belakang kuliner yang kental, karena kehidupan Binh sebagai buangan Vietnam di kota Paris—pusat kuasa kolonial Prancis pada abad ke-20 awal—tidak lepas dari pekerjaannya sebagai koki pribadi bagi Gertrude Stein dan Alice B. Toklas, pasangan lesbian yang merupakan tokoh bersejarah dalam susastra pada zaman itu. Unsur dapur dan makanan bersama dengan perjuangan Binh untuk hidup di dalam masyarakat yang tidak bersahabat berpadu untuk melukiskan gambaran hasrat atau nafsu seorang pria gay. Tujuan dari makalah ini adalah untuk menerangkan gambaran nafsu tersebut, yang disajikan oleh media dapur serta ketertarikan Binh pada makanan dan dunia kuliner. Di saat yang sama, riset ini berusaha untuk menyoroti tema disrupsi terhadap kekangan masyarakat Barat pada masa hidup Binh dan bagaimana ia menantang heteronormativitas dengan kemenangan dan pencapaian yang personal melalui dunia kuliner.

Chief among the myriad themes found in Monique Truong’s inaugural novel The Book of Salt (2003) are food and the kitchen. It proposes the narrative of Binh, a Vietnamese gay man exiled from his homeland by way of an interracial relationship made public. This tragic narrative carries with it a culinary backdrop, for Binh’s life in Parisian exile is deeply tied to his employment as chef for historic American couple Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas. Shades of the kitchen and the culinary come together in Truong’s novel to construct an image of a gay man’s desire. The objective of this research is to bring to light this image of desire, as presented through the medium of the kitchen and Binh’s affinity for food. At the same time, this research seeks to highlight themes of disruption against the constraints of Western society in Binh’s time and how he challenges the heteronorm through small and personal victories, again through his culinary affinity."
