River is part of community livelihood whereby its resilience protects it. However, river issues are still discussed, indicating opportunity and room for improvement. The social lens as perspective is also still lacking. Thereby, community resilience is adopted as approach looking at river. Hence, this paper explored the river and community resilience studies from social aspect. 129 articles based on online database were gathered, sieved and analysed. It was found that river and community resilience shares fields of fluvial geomorphology, sociology, ecology, urban planning and disaster risk. These fields have impacts in people-place relationship throughout humanity. Therefore, the community is responsible upon river and key to resilience.River is part of community livelihood whereby its resilience protects it.

“…In AAS, a hollow cathode lamp is used to generate the light source whereas photomultiplier tube is used as a detector. During the measurement, a monochromator will be used to distinguish the element light whereas the light source will be generated to reduce the unwanted radiation from detector [18]. There are two types of atomization methods which include flame atomization and electrothermal atomization.…”

<span>Water quality monitoring is always the prior element to ensure the drinking water is safe to be consumed. A lot of researches have been carried out over the past decades to design and develop a robust and cost-effective water monitoring system. The conventional water monitoring techniques were based on laboratory instruments which is time-consuming and laborious. Furthermore, it is not suitable when the water sampling point is far from the commercial laboratory centres. These limitations were then been solved by the developments of portable testing kits and microwave technique. The microwave techniques such as spectroscopy techniques and microwave sensor approach have improved the water quality monitoring experience which is convenient without sacrificing the measurement accuracy and sensitivity. Its portability enables the on-site measurement at rural areas and thus reduce the transportation and manpower cost. This paper intends to review the water contaminant detection techniques which include standardized drinking water parameter testing and microwave-based in terms of physical, chemical and microbiological parameters. Furthermore, this review also emphasizes the current trend of the water quality testing method in microwave technique. At the end of this paper, a significant advantages and drawbacks of the techniques are summarized, and recommendations are provided for future development in the water quality monitoring.</span>

“…Improvement in design and technology has achieved miniaturization in portable pH sensors (Hammond, Ali, & Cumming, 2005;Kassal, Steinberg, & Steinberg, 2013;Veeramani et al, 2013) by incorporating digital processing (Hammond et al, 2005) and wireless data acquisition (Kassal et al, 2013;Veeramani et al, 2013), which has greatly expanded applicability. Moreover, numerous miniaturized chemical sensors are now commercially available and applicable to practical analyses such as pH, conductivity, ionization, salinity, and multiparameters (Megahed, Hiew, Grünberg, & Constable, 2016;Sakai et al, 2018;Trefz, Lorenz, & Constable, 2018). Portability of the miniaturized devices makes them suitable for field use in developing countries because these miniaturized devices are inexpensive and consume a small amount of reagents, which leads to a reduction in chemical waste and promotes an environmentally friendly image.…”

To determine the total acidity in freshly squeezed fruit juice, we miniaturized the potentiometric titrations and achieved better accuracy compared with titrations from a conventional pH probe. The improvement was the result of a higher jump in pH at the endpoint due to a reduction in the dilutions of both the titrand and titrant. A conventional pH probe requires more than 50 mL of titrand, which can lead to a 25000‐fold dilution of the titrant when adding the titrant at 2 µL intervals. Conversely, when the volume of the titrand can be reduced to 1 mL, the dilution is only 500‐fold, which results in a higher jump in pH at the endpoint. The concentration of the titrant, NaOH, was optimized by titrating sample solutions containing 25 and 50 mM of citric acid. The addition of 5 M NaOH in intervals of 2 µL led to a more accurate endpoint for both 25 and 50 mM citric acid solutions. Miniaturization of the titration process is advantageous in terms of portability, accuracy, and in requiring less consumption of a sample, thereby simplifying the process of repeat measurements that are helpful in evaluating the precision of analytical results. Practical samples of squeezed fruit juices were titrated via three methods that showed no significant differences: classic titrimetry with an indicator, conventional potentiometry, and miniaturized potentiometry. This process would be effective for use in the field and in developing countries. Practical Application The total acidity of fruits and fruit juices is an important indicator of quality and is generally expressed in terms of the citric acid content. However, a standard potentiometric titration requires a large sample volume, which makes it difficult to assess dispersion of the acidity for individual fruits. The results of this study indicate that the use of miniaturized potentiometric titration could benefit food chemistry in many developing countries in addition to opening new fields of food chemistry such as on‐site quality control of citrus fruit and evaluation of variations in quality.
