Abstract

This research aims to reveal the potential of Rat Island as a marine ecotourism destination as well as a contextualized physics learning environment. Using the descriptive qualitative method and literature review support, data were obtained through field observations and literature analysis related to sediment topography, climate, and physics concepts such as ocean waves and tree height measurements. Previous research stated that Rat Island has marine ecotourism potential that can be used as contextual physics learning material. Observation activities in the natural laboratory of Rat Island by Master of Science Education students succeeded in increasing the enthusiasm for learning and inquiry skills. Physics analysis related to tree height measurement provides a deep understanding of physics concepts that can be applied in everyday life. In addition, the research showed the tidal pattern on Rat Island as a periodic physical phenomenon that can be studied and predicted. The concept of Rat Island as a natural laboratory supports its potential as a place for learning and experimentation while supporting environmental conservation efforts. Overall, Rat Island has great potential as a source of contextual physics learning and a sustainable marine ecotourism destination.Keywords: Rat Island, Physics Learning, Tidal Wave, Natural Laboratory.

Abstract

Fish have the potential to be contaminated with heavy metals such as lead, which can originate from human activities, industry, and ports. The Bengkulu people have a traditional processing method that is believed to reduce heavy metal content in fish through the immersion of fish in Pendap dishes using water and lemon. This study aims to observe the reduction of heavy metal content in fish during the immersion process using water and lemon juice in Pendap dishes. The research was experimental with positive and negative results and analyzed using the SPSS ANOVA test to see significant differences between treatment groups. The fish used as samples included Tongkol Sarda orentalis, Kembung Rastrelliger kanagurta, Tuna Thunnus albacares, and Tenggiri Scomberomorus Lacepède. The parts of the fish that were analyzed included the muscles, liver, and gills. All samples were exposed to Pb(NO3)2 and divided into 3 treatment groups: 1 positive control, 2 precipitated with water, and 3 precipitated with lemon juice (Citrus limon). The samples were tested using the reagents NaOH, KI, NH4OH, and HCl. Based on the research results, it was found that the application of lemon juice produced significant results in reducing Pb levels, as indicated by the negative test results.

Abstract

Exposure to mercury chloride (HgCl?) is known to induce oxidative stress, which negatively affects the hematological system, including a decrease in hemoglobin levels. This study aims to analyze the effect of honje fruit juice (Etlingera hemisphaerica), known for its high antioxidant content, on hemoglobin levels in mice (Mus musculus) exposed to mercury chloride. This study used an experimental method involving several groups of mice, namely group K1 (control), group K2 (given honje fruit juice), and group K3 (injected with mercury and given honje fruit juice). Hemoglobin levels were measured using a Sahli tube. The results showed that honje fruit juice significantly increased hemoglobin levels in mice exposed to mercury chloride compared to the control group. These findings indicate that the antioxidant content in honje fruit can help reduce the toxic effects of mercury chloride on the circulatory system. Therefore, honje fruit juice has the potential to be developed as a natural therapeutic agent in efforts to mitigate the toxic effects of mercury chloride.
