Abstract

Goat behavior is commonly interpreted through circadian rhythms, feeding patterns, environmental conditions, and reproductive cycles, while nighttime is rarely treated as a dynamically changing environmental context. This study challenges the conventional daylight-centered interpretation of goat behavior by exploring how lunar phases are associated with nocturnal activity and reproductive patterns. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed through naturalistic observation of goat behavior across different lunar phases, supported by reproductive observations and an exploratory examination of offspring sex distribution. The findings indicate a gradual transition from relatively low nighttime activity during the new moon toward greater movement, feeding, rumination, vocalization, and social interaction during brighter gibbous and full-moon phases. Reported reproductive patterns also indicate differences in parturition distribution across lunar phases, with lower occurrence during the new moon and higher occurrence around the gibbous phase. However, these patterns are interpreted as associations rather than evidence of direct lunar causation. Existing evidence on goat offspring sex ratio shows variation among populations, including male-biased, female-biased, and approximately balanced distributions, while available lunar-phase-specific evidence remains insufficient to establish that lunar phase determines offspring sex. The study's disruptive contribution lies in conceptualizing lunar illumination as an environmental context that may modify the expression of nighttime goat behavior rather than assuming that the moon directly controls animal biology. Beyond animal science, the goat–moon phenomenon provides an authentic interdisciplinary context for science education by integrating astronomy, biology, animal behavior, reproductive physiology, ecology, statistics, and scientific inquiry. The study concludes that the moon may not rewrite the goat's biological clock, but it may rewrite how the goat's night is understood and how natural phenomena can be transformed into meaningful science-learning contexts.

Abstract

The integration of emerging biomedical research into higher education offers opportunities to develop scientific reasoning, biotechnology literacy, and innovation-oriented competencies. This study explores the potential of Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) through breast-milk-derived bioactive peptides and cancer research as an authentic context for biotechnology education. A qualitative descriptive research design is employed, involving students from biotechnology, biology, biomedical science, or related higher education programs. Data are collected through students’ written reflections, group discussions, and proposed solutions developed during structured learning activities. The data are analyzed thematically to examine three dimensions: biotechnology literacy and understanding of scientific evidence, scientific reasoning and critical thinking, and biomedical innovation and responsible problem-solving. The study positions breast-milk-derived bioactive compounds as a context for examining molecular biology, evaluating experimental and clinical evidence, and understanding the translation of scientific discoveries into potential therapeutic applications. Rather than treating emerging biomedical research as established clinical practice, the learning framework emphasizes scientific accuracy, recognition of uncertainty, and ethical responsibility. This study is expected to contribute to biotechnology education by providing insights into the use of authentic biomedical challenges to support interdisciplinary learning and responsible innovation. The findings may inform the design of educational activities that connect scientific knowledge with contemporary biomedical research without requiring specialized laboratory facilities.

Abstract

The Smart Multi-Species Milk Bank System (SM²BS) is proposed as an integrated digital platform to improve milk supply chain management through cold chain management, digital traceability, and nutritional profiling. This study adopts a qualitative approach involving literature review, observation of milk handling processes, and stakeholder discussions to identify operational challenges and develop a conceptual framework for managing cow, goat, sheep, mare, and buffalo milk. Building on the existing Smart Milk Bank System (SMBS) prototype and preliminary goat milk quality testing conducted with CV Cahaya Firdaus, the proposed system integrates batch identification, quality records, storage conditions, and comparative nutritional data. Its disruptive novelty lies in connecting multi-species nutritional intelligence with cold chain monitoring and end-to-end traceability within a unified digital ecosystem. The framework is expected to support improved transparency, quality management, inventory coordination, and informed decision-making across milk supply chains. However, the proposed multi-species functionality and its operational benefits require further implementation and validation. This study provides a conceptual foundation for developing a more integrated, data-driven milk bank system and strengthening dairy supply chain resilience.

Abstract

The growing demand for natural-ingredient cosmetics creates opportunities to transform agricultural and livestock-based resources into innovative, value-added products. This study proposes Bioactive Goat Milk Innovation for Lipstick and Lip Balm, an initiative to develop goat milk-derived ingredients for two lip care applications. The research employs an experimental development approach involving raw material preparation, formulation design, manufacturing, and product validation. Goat milk powder is proposed as a characteristic ingredient, combined with cosmetic-grade waxes, oils, butters, and approved pigments. The lip balm formulation focuses on lip conditioning and moisture protection, while the lipstick formulation combines conditioning properties with decorative color. Product evaluation will include organoleptic characteristics, homogeneity, physical performance, ingredient compatibility, microbiological quality, stability, packaging compatibility, and user acceptability, subject to appropriate safety requirements. As the formulations have not yet been experimentally validated, product performance and commercial feasibility remain to be established. The innovation has the potential to diversify goat milk utilization beyond conventional dairy products, create additional value for livestock producers, and support entrepreneurship at the intersection of livestock production and the cosmetics industry. This research may also provide a foundation for future investigations into the potential role of goat milk-derived bioactive ingredients in protecting lip tissue against oxidative stress and UV-induced damage associated with lip cancer, although any cancer-preventive effects must be established through rigorous scientific testing. Further laboratory validation, regulatory assessment, and economic evaluation are required to determine its suitability for commercialization.

Abstract

Peatland fires pose persistent environmental challenges because subsurface smoldering can continue after visible flames disappear, increasing the difficulty of suppression and the risk of reignition. Conventional water-based firefighting may be constrained by water availability, transportation requirements, and difficulties delivering sufficient cooling to underground combustion zones. This study proposes GAMBUT-LOCK, a low-cost adaptive firebreak concept designed to support waterless peatland fire control using locally sourced mineral materials, mechanically simple barrier construction, and subsurface temperature monitoring. The proposed research adopts a qualitative, design-oriented experimental approach involving material characterization, prototype development, controlled laboratory observations, and comparative evaluation of barrier configurations. The assessment will focus on the interruption of smoldering propagation, residual heating, potential reignition, operational simplicity, material requirements, and environmental compatibility. Unlike approaches that rely primarily on specialized extinguishing agents or complex thermal infrastructure, GAMBUT-LOCK emphasizes targeted intervention, locally available resources, and repeated thermal verification. Its proposed novelty lies in integrating hotspot identification, adaptive mineral barrier placement, and post-intervention monitoring within a practical firebreak framework. As the prototype has not yet been experimentally validated, its effectiveness and cost advantages remain to be established. The study is expected to provide an initial engineering basis for developing affordable, resource-efficient firebreak technology for tropical peatlands, subject to experimental validation and further assessment of environmental performance and patentability.
