Abstract

Dipterocarpaceae are economically important, contributing over 85% of Indonesia's timber exports. However, this crucial resource is increasingly threatened by illegal logging, habitat destruction, and the illegal timber trade, which jeopardize dipterocarp population. Furthermore, conservation efforts utilizing genetic and forensic techniques often encounter substantial challenges due to the complexities in DNA extraction protocol. To address this, the study aimed to enhance the efficiency of DNA extraction methodologies by comparing two methods: the modified cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and the Genomic DNA Mini Kit (Plant) from Geneaid Biotech Ltd. The research focused on leaf and wood samples from two species, spesifically Rubroshorea leprosula (Miq.) P.S.Ashton & J.Heck and Shorea laevis Ridl. For each of these species, five leaf and five wood samples were extracted using both methods. The quality of the DNA extraction was evaluated using electrophoresis and quantified with a Qubit fluorometer. Higher DNA concentrations were obtained with the modified CTAB method compared to the GeneAid kit for both R. leprosula and S. laevis, particularly in leaf tissue. The GeneAid kit consistently exhibited low DNA yield efficiency compared to the modified CTAB method for both species. Additionally, PCR amplification of both leaf and wood samples confirmed that the extracted DNA was suitable formolecular analyses. These findings not only contributed to laboratory applications but also served as practical tools for species identification and genetic conservation for sustainable forest management and law enforcement.

Abstract

Sumedang Regency has a hilly landscape, making it one of the 13 cities/regencies in West Java Province that are prone to landslides. A total of 80 landslide incidents were recorded from 2019 to 2023. These landslides resulted in 45 fatalities, 53 injuries, and damage to 317 infrastructure units. This situation indicates the importance of conducting an analysis of landslide hazard distribution. The landslide hazard distribution analysis is carried out using a weighting and scoring method on the parameters used, which include: slope gradient, rainfall, actual land cover, landform, lithology, and soil type. Based on these parameters, four landslide hazard classes were identified in Sumedang Regency: low, medium, high, and very high hazard classes. Proportions of these hazard are as follows: high hazard class (42.24%), medium hazard class (40.38%), low hazard class (13.90%), and very high hazard class (3.49%). The low hazard class is mainly found in the northern part of Sumedang Regency, the medium hazard class is widespread in sloping areas, and the high to very high hazard classes are primarily found in the Tampomas mountains and areas with hilly landforms. Slope gradient and rainfall are the factors that most influence landslide hazards, making it necessary to design appropriate mitigation.

Abstract

Universities play a key role in driving positive change by equipping students to address environmental and social challenges. This study examines how students at IPB University perceive various sustainability initiatives implemented on campus. Based on a survey of 1,545 undergraduate students, the research explores their knowledge, awareness, and interest in these efforts. The results show that while most students are familiar with the general concept (87.6%), fewer have knowledge of specific programs, institutional rankings, or the university’s Campus Sustainability Office. Nevertheless, nearly all respondents consider these efforts important (98.7%) and support active student involvement (97.2%). Many also express a desire to see these topics integrated into academic courses (84.9%).These findings highlight the need for improved internal communication and curriculum development to enhance student participation. The study offers both practical and academic insights for improving sustainability strategies in higher education institutions. Future research should include multiple universities and consider mixed-method approaches to better understand the factors influencing student engagement
