Microfauna (ostracoda and foraminifera) as component of sediments has been used to detect the dynamics of sea floor condition in NE Kalimantan, particularly off Nunukan and Sebatik Islands. In general, the microfaunal components tend to increase (both number of species and specimens) from near shore to the open sea. The microfauna occur rarely at locations surrounding the islands due to high content of plant remains from the land. The marine origin of microfaunas occurs very abundantly in the inner part of the study area between Tinabasan and Nunukan Islands. This finding is interested due to their occurrence as unusual forms: brownish shells, broken and articulated ostracod carapaces. Additional interested findings are: the incidence of abraded test of Elphidium, the occurrence of dominant species of both ostracoda and foraminifera at some stations; various morphological forms of foraminiferal genus, Asterorotalia that reaches about 1% and distributed in the open sea. The various unusual forms may relate to the dynamics of local environmental changes such as postdepositional accumulation in the sediment, biological activities, and drift currents from open sea to landward. Keywords: Ostracoda, Foraminifera, North East Kalimantan, land-sea interaction Mikrofauna (ostracoda dan foraminifera), sebagai komponen sedimen dapat digunakan untuk mendeteksi dinamika kondisi dasar laut di Kalimantan Timur, tepatnya di sekitar Pulau Nunukan dan Sebatik. Secara umum, komponen mikrofauna cenderung bertambah (baik dalam jumlah spesies maupun spesimen) dari perairan sekitar pantai ke arah laut lepas. Mikrofauna yang ditemukan sangat jarang di lokasi sekitar pulau-pulau disebabkan oleh keterdapatan sisa-sisa tanaman dari daratan. Mikrofauna asal lautan ditemukan sangat melimpah di bagian dalam daerah penelitian antara Pulau Tinabasan dan Nunukan. Temuan ini sangat menarik karena adanya bentukan abnormal: cangkang berwarna kecoklatan, rusak dan cangkang ostracoda berbentuk tangkupan. Temuan tambahan yang juga menarik adalah: keterdapatan cangkang Elphidum yang rusak, keterdapatan beberapa spesies ostracoda dan foraminifera secara dominan di titik lokasi tertentu, dan kenampakan morfologi yang bervariasi dari genus foraminifera, Asterorotalia, yang mencapai 1% dan tersebar di laut lepas. Berbagai bentukan abnormal tersebut kemungkinan berkaitan dengan dinamika kondisi lingkungan setempat seperti akumulasi setelah pengendapan dalam sedimen, aktivitas biologis dan alur arus dari laut terbuka kearah daratan. Kata kunci: ostracoda, foraminifera, Kalimantan Timur, interaksi daratan-lautan

As one of the gates of development in eastern Indonesia, East Kalimantan Province consists of 14 regencies/ cities with commodity timber, palm oil and coal is a high per capita income of the province and the sixth largest contributor to GDP (6.08%) in Indonesia. The road network has not been able to reach the economic activity in the north and west, not all meet the requirements of the technical feasibility of such strength that resulted in damage to roads and major loss is a problem.The research objective is to formulate recommendations for the development of road transport anticipate growth in East Kalimantan province.Data collection through literature review, the results of research and related scientific publications. Descriptive analyzes were conducted to propose solutions evaluative transportasai development of effective road.Result of the research is to improve road transport services in the North East Kalimantan, East Kalimantan Central Kalimantan South East, the construction and upgrading of roads to reach districts in accordance with the carrying capacity of the traffic load, increase the accessibility index, the construction of freight and passenger terminal and bridge weigh in the order of priority locations, increasing support for MP3EI, KEK and KPI.

Ras a1 Khaimah is the most northerly of the seven states comprising the United Arab Emirates and its Ruler, H. H. Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammad al-Qasimi, is keenly interested in the history of the state and its people. Survey carried out there jointly with Dr D. B. Doe in 1968 had focused attention on the site of JuIfar which lies just north of the present town of Ras a1 Khaimah (de Cardi, 1971, 230-2). Julfar was in existence in Abbasid times and its importance as an entrep6t during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries-the Portuguese Period-is reflected by the quantity and variety of imported wares to be found among the ruins of the city. Most of the sites discovered during the survey dated from that period but a group of cairns near Ghalilah and some long gabled graves in the Shimal area to the north-east of the date-groves behind Ras a1 Khaimah (map, FIG. I) clearly represented a more distant past.
