Abstract

Community knowledge regarding the use of traditional medicinal plants represents an important component of local wisdom that should be documented to support the conservation of biodiversity and the preservation of traditional healthcare systems. This study aims to inventory the medicinal plant species utilized by the people of Lumban Sipahutar, North Sumatra, Indonesia, and to document their botanical classification, plant parts used, preparation methods, and traditional medicinal applications. The research employed an ethnobotanical approach using a qualitative descriptive method. Data was collected through field observations, in-depth interviews, documentation, and morphological identification of plant specimens, which were subsequently classified taxonomically to the species level. The findings identified 16 medicinal plant species traditionally used by the local community for healthcare purposes. These species belong to various botanical families, with leaves being the most frequently utilized plant part, followed by rhizomes, stems, roots, fruits, and flowers. The plants are commonly prepared by boiling, pounding, infusion, or direct application. Most species are traditionally used to treat digestive disorders, respiratory ailments, fever, and wound-related conditions. The findings demonstrate that the people of Lumban Sipahutar continue to preserve a traditional healthcare system based on local biological resources, highlighting its potential contribution to biodiversity conservation and the development of phytopharmaceutical research in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the phenomenon of slang usage on social media within an academic campus environment. Employing a phenomenological approach, this research focuses on active undergraduate students at Universitas HKBP Nommensen Pematangsiantar. Data were gathered through field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that slang is widely adopted because it is perceived as more intimate, accessible, and effective in facilitating peer comprehension, particularly during digital interactions. However, this phenomenon also indicates a linguistic shift that potentially marginalizes language politeness and ethics when used in inappropriate contexts. Therefore, the preservation of standard Indonesian and indigenous languages must be maintained within academic settings, whereas slang should be restricted to informal or non-academic domains. The implications of this study underscore the necessity of fostering register awareness among students. Ultimately, students are expected to develop code-switching competence based on the interlocutor and communicative setting, thereby preserving the identity and prestige of the national language on campus without impeding their communicative creativity in public spheres or social media.
