Abstract

This study aimed to identify and analyze ethnobotanical data on phytonym, utilization, and cultural value of plants mentioned in an Old Sundanese text. Since plants are mentioned with their vernacular names, identification was based on an exhaustive bibliographical search of the respective scientific name. A comprehensive investigation led to the identification of a total of 85 Old Sundanese phytonyms, which represented vernacular names for 79 distinct plant species. Furthermore, by considering the number of identified species from the plant-related glosses, 93 species belonging to 57 genera and 44 plant families were registered. Among these plant families, Arecaceae (12 species), Poaceae (nine species), and Fabaceae (six species) exhibited the highest number of identified species. In addition to the phytonyms, 36 phytotoponyms, which utilize vernacular phytonyms to designate settlements, hermitages, ports, mountains, and rivers were identified. It was worth noting that the majority of the plants associated with these phytotoponyms were indigenous. Meanwhile, only 13 species were traced back to the pre-Columbian exchange period during the Austronesian migration and the Indianization-Sinicization era in IndoMalayan history. The result showed that the predominantly mentioned utilization included beverage production, textile manufacturing, vessel craftsmanship, betel quid preparation, perfume creation, and incense production. Among the identified species, Areca catechu emerges as the most frequently mentioned in the text, along with Graptophyllum pictum and Cordyline fruticosa, which were also considered as possessing profound spiritual value due to association with heavenly realms. Furthermore, the text highlighted that the production of plant-based fragrance products, also referenced in the celestial domain, held significant prominence in global trade during the 15th century

Abstract

Petani dalam pengolahan mina padi berlandaskan pada Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) secara lekat budaya. Pengelolaan sistem mina padi dengan menggunakan pengetahuan ekologi tradisional tersebut, perlahan-lahan mengalami perubahan seiring dengan diintroduksikannya program revolusi hijau. Program revolusi hijau tersebut telah mempengaruhi praktik sistem mina padi di Desa Lampegan. Pengelolaan sistem mina padi mengalami pergeseran dari ras ikan yang dibudidayakan, ketersediaan air dan waktu pemeliharaan ikan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengkaji perubahan produksi sistem mina padi sebelum dan sesudah program revolusi hijau, perbandingan produksi pengelolaan ikan di sawah dengan ikan di kolam, perbandingan produksi sistem mina padi dan sistem non-mina padi serta pengelolaan ikan berdasarkan jenis ikan yang dibudidayakan . Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode campuran yaitu kombinasi metode kualitatif dan metode kuantitatif dengan pendekatan etnoekologi meliputi pengelolaan mina padi sebelum dan sesudah revolusi hijau. Pengumpulan data lapangan dilakukan dengan observasi, wawancara semi-struktur dan wawancara berstruktur terhadap 50 responden. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sistem mina padi di Desa Lampegan Kabupaten Bandung mengalami perubahan pada pengelolaan mina padi sebelum dan sesudah revolusi hijau dalam besar input pada produksi pengelolaan mina padi. Pengelolaan setelah revolusi hijau (2018-2023) menggunakan input luar (pabrik) secara keseluruhan yang menambah biaya produksi lebih tinggi dibandingkan pada produksi sebelum revolusi hijau (1960-1970) yang masih memanfaatkan ketersediaan input dari alam dan lingkungan. Pengelolaan mina padi juga diketahui memiliki keuntungan yang lebih banyak dibandingkan pengelolaan non-mina padi, pengelolaan ikan di sawah lebih menguntungkan dari segi pemeliharaan dan hasil yang didapatkan, serta keuntungan dari setiap jenis ikan yang ditanam memiliki keuntungan yang berbeda sesuai dengan kebutuhan konsumen (untuk dikonsumsi atau tidak dikonsumsi), ikan untuk dikonsumsi memiliki keuntungan yang lebih besar karena penjualan yang lebih tinggi.

Abstract

For generations, the inhabitants of rural people of Pasir Putih Village, Rancakalong Subdistrict, Sumedang Regency, West Java, have relied on medicinal plant to maintain the health of their livestock and treat various illness that may distress their livestock. Nowadays, however, the knowledge and practice of livestock treatment using various medicinal plants in rural areas of Pasir Putih Village has tended to eroded, due to the influence of commercial livestock businesses development. Consequently, to treat various livestock, farmers have to buy various modern medicines from the city and the prices are expensive. In addition, the Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), particularly in the young generations has eroded. The aim of this study is to explore and to document the information regarding various ruminant livestock ailments, diversity of plant species used as ethnoveterinary medicine, plant part used and application method applied in treating ruminant ailments, and source of ethnoveterinary medicinal plants in the rural ecosystems of the study area. Method used in this study was mixed-method qualitative and quantitative with an ethnoveterinary medicinal approach. The study resulted showed that during the study recorded 14 common ailments of the ruminants, at least a total of 46 plant species in 41 genera and 17 families were used traditionally and their combination for the treatment of 14 diseases in the study area. Zingiberaceae found to be a dominated family with seven plant species followed by Asteraceae (5 species), Alliacea (5 species), and Fabaceae (5 species). The most commonly used plant parts were leaf (15 species), fruit (11 species), and rhizome (7 species). The wide application of medical plants as the form of drunk (66.67 %), followed by eaten (7.14 %), smeared (7.14 %), and put on (7.14 %). Based on the were the most important medicinal plants used to treat various ruminant ailments Fidelity Level (FL), it was recoded five medical plants, viz., Allium sativum (34.09), Kaempferia galanga (34.09), Zingiber officinale (34.09), Curcuma longa (34.09), and Aloe vera (34.09), in the study area. Regarding source of 46 plant species of ethnoveterinary medical plants was harvested from the homegarden 23 species (50.00 %), garden 11 species (23.91 %), and 12 species (26.05 %) acquired from both homegarden and garden. Thus, the agroecosystem of homegarden and garden are important role not only for the human food production but also livestock feed in the rural ecosystem.

Abstract

Treatment with natural ingredients is essential for healing incision wounds. One promising natural remedy is land snail mucus, which has been used for centuries to address various health conditions, including wounds. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of mucus from Amphidromus palaceus and Lissachatina fulica on collagen density during the healing process of incision wounds in Rattus norvegicus. The in vivo study included 36 rats, divided into four cages with nine rats per cage. Each of rats subjected to approximately 1 cm incision wounds on their backs. The rats were divided into four groups: a negative control group (KN) receiving aquades, a positive control group (KP) treated with 1% bioplacenton, treatment group 1 (P1) receiving 25 µL of A. palaceus mucus, and treatment group 2 (P2) receiving 25 µL of L. fulica mucus. The experiment concluded on days H3, H5, H7, and H10. Histological preparations were made using MT staining to assess collagen density. The results showed both species of snail mucus significantly increased collagen density compared to the negative control (aquades). However, there were no statistically significant differences when comparing L. fulica, A. palaceus, and bioplacenton. Among all the treatment groups, L. fulica mucus (P2) produced the highest collagen density. These findings suggest that both types of snail mucus hold promising potential in promoting the wound healing process.

Abstract

One of the emerging technologies that has gained attention as an alternative for meeting renewable energy demands is the Organic Solar Cell (OSC). OSC is a type of photovoltaic device that utilizes organic electronic materials. The fundamental operating principle of OSC is based on the Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) and the Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO), with organic compounds serving as the active materials, enabling the conversion of light energy into electricity. Research on OSC has continuously evolved over the years to achieve optimal performance. The substrate/transport layer, which serves as the foundation for the organic active layer in OSC, can be categorized into several types, including ITO-based OSC, conducting polymer-based OSC, silver nanowire-based OSC, metal-based OSC, and graphene-based OSC. Organic solar cells offer several promising prospects, such as relatively low production costs, as well as flexible and transparent design features. However, OSCs also face several challenges, including relatively low efficiency and environmental stability concerns. Addressing these challenges is crucial to unlocking the full potential of OSC technology. This article first provides a general overview of OSC advancements, followed by a summary and analysis of its working principles, performance parameters, and structural components. Finally, we explore recent breakthroughs in OSC development in detail.

Abstract

Abstrak. Sejatinya di masa silam, penduduk pedesaan di Jawa Barat, termasuk penduduk di Desa Karangwangi, Kecamatan Cidaun, Kabupaten Cianjur, Jawa Barat dominan menggarap sistem ladang (sistem huma). Namun, sejalan dengan kian padatnya penduduk, makin berkurangnya kawasan hutan, dan berkembangnya ekonomi pasar di pedesaan, maka, sistem huma berubah menjadi beberapa tipe sistem agroforestri tradisional, seperti kebon kayu-kayuan (kebon kai), kebon campuran kayu-kayuan dan buah-buahan (talun) dan sistem pekarangan (buruan). Selain itu, dengan adanya program Revolusi Hijau pada sistem sawah dan introduksi albasiah/jengjen (Paraserinthes falcataria (L) I Nielsen) pada sistem tegalan dan agroforestri tradisional, seperti kebon kai. Konsekuensinya,  sistem sawah dan sistem huma mengalami perubahan secara drastis. Paper ini mendisuksikan tentang perkembangan beberapa tipe agroekosistem dari sistem huma, dengan berbagai perubahannya. Metoda penelitian menggunakan kualitatif dengan pendekatan etnoekologi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hasil studi telah memberikan berbagai informasi untuk lebih memahami perilaku penduduk pedesaan dalam mengelola berbagai tipe agroekosistem di desanya. Dalam kaitannya dengan pembangunan, seyogianya berbagai pengetahuan ekologi lokal penduduk yang positif dan kearifan ekologi penduduk tidak diabaikan atau bahkan dicoba untuk dimusnahkan, namun dapat diintegrasikan dengan pengetahuan ilmiah barat untuk dapat digunakan untuk pembangunan sistem pertanian di Indonesia yang berkelanjutan.  Kata kunci: sistem huma, agroforestri tradisional, agroekosistem, revolusi hijau. Abstract. Originally in the past, village people of West Java, including people of Village of Karangwangi, Sub-district of Cidaun, District of Cianjur and Province of West Java predominated practicing the swidden farming system (sistem huma). However, due to increasing human population density, decreasing the forest area, and rapid development of market economy in the village, the  huma system have changed to  several types of the traditional agroforestry systems, such as the tree garden system (kebon kai), mixed-garden system of wood and fruits (talun), and home garden (buruan). In addition, because of introduction of the green revolution in the sawah systems and the introduction of albasiah/jengjen (Paraserianthes falcataria (L) I Nielsen) in the traditional agroforestry systems, such as kebon kai. As a result, those agroecosystem types have dramatically changed.  This paper discusses the development of the traditional agroforestry systems which is developed from the huma system. Method used in this study qualitative with the ethnoecology approach. The resulted of study show that it has provided rich information which is very useful to more understand the village people behavior in managing various type of agroecosystem in their village. With regard to development process, we suggest various positive  local knowledges and ecological wisdoms, rather than ignoring or attempting to replace them, it may be useful to be integrated with the scientific knowledge to use in supporting the sustainable agriculture in Indonesia.

Abstract

ABSTRAKDitilik dari sejarah ekologi, di masa silam sebelum ada program moderniasi usaha tani sawah melalui program Revolusi Hijau, para petani sawah di Jawa Barat dan Banten guyub menyimpan padi hasil panen padi di lumbung (leuit). Kini sistem lumbung padi tersebut hampir punah di Jawa Barat dan Banten. Namun masyarakat Baduy yang bermukim di Desa Kanekes, Kecamatan Leuwidamar, Kabupaten Lebak, Banten Selatan, kebiasaan menyimpan padi pada sistem leuit masih kokoh dipertahankan secara lekat budaya dan berkelanjutan. Paper ini mendiskusikan tentang kearifan ekologi Orang Baduy dalam mengkonservasi padi dengan  sistem leuit. Metoda penelitian menggunakan kualitatif dengan pendekatan etnoekologi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Orang Baduy memiliki kearifan ekologi, seperti mampu menyimpan padi ladang hasil panen mereka pada lumbung padi (leuit) secara  tahan lama dalam kurun waktu hingga puluhan tahun. Padi ladang utamanya hanya digunakan untuk memenuhi berbagai upacara adat dalam kegiatan berladang dan untuk dikonsumsi sehari-hari, terutama apabila Orang Baduy tidak memiliki cukup uang untuk membeli beras sawah dari warung. Maka, seyogianya kearifan ekologi Orang Baduy ini dapat dipadukan dengan pengetahuan ilmiah Barat, guna dimanfaatkan dalam progam pemangunan keamanan dan ketahanan pangan secara berkelanjutan berbasis pemberdayan masyarat di Indonesia.
