Abstract

This study examines the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology in enhancing students’ digital literacy skills in the Plant Taxonomy course. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed using a survey method involving 32 Biology Education students at Universitas HKBP Nommensen Pematangsiantar. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire measuring AI utilization and key aspects of digital literacy, including information access, critical evaluation, data analysis, and ethical awareness. The findings reveal that students responded positively to the integration of AI in learning. AI-based applications were perceived as effective in supporting plant identification, understanding complex morphological characteristics, accelerating access to scientific references, and improving classification accuracy. Most students also demonstrated the ability to critically interpret AI-generated results, compare them with manual field observations, and use digital technology responsibly. In addition, students reported an improvement in their overall digital literacy skills after using AI in learning. In conclusion, AI technology plays a significant role in supporting interactive learning and strengthening digital literacy skills in the Plant Taxonomy course, indicating its potential for broader integration in biology education.

Abstract

Sampai saat ini masalah limbah dan efek negative yang ditimbulkan belum dapat diatasi. Limbah atau sampah rumah tangga berdampak negatif terhadap lingkungan dan kesehatan keluarga. Masyarakat perlu diberdayakan untuk mengatasi masalah limbah dan efek negative yang ditimbukan melalui pelatihan memanfaatkan limbah (reuse) menjadi produk yang berdaya guna. Telah dilakukan pelatihan pembuatan ecoenzim berbasis limbah organik rumah tangga. Jumlah peserta 25 orang. Tujuan pengabdian melatih kelompok Masyarakat Tani Barokah mengolah limbah organic rumah tangga menjadi produk ecoenzim. Pelatihan dimulai dari pretest, kemudian pemaparan secara teori limbah rumah tangga dan pembuatan ecoenzim lalu dilanjutkan dengan praktek pembuatan ecoenzim. Evaluasi kegiatan pengabdian dengan melakukan uji posttest. Hasil pengabdian: terjadi peningkatan pengetahuan peserta 40-80% tentang limbah dan pemamfaatannya. Peserta mengetahui cara membuat ecoenzim. Uji Wicolxon menunjukkan tidak ada peserta yang pengetahuan nya tidak meningkat (positif rank 25 orang). Peserta mampu mengikuti prosedur pembuatan ecoenzim.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the antimicrobial activity of alkaloid compounds from noni leaf extract (Morinda citrifolia) against the growth of pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The study applied a quantitative experimental laboratory approach. Extraction was carried out using the maceration method with 96% ethanol, followed by qualitative phytochemical analysis using Mayer, Dragendorff, and Wagner reagents to identify the presence of alkaloids. Using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method, the antibacterial efficacy was evaluated at concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. The primary indicator utilized was the size of the regions where bacteria could not thrive. Basic statistics and ANOVA analyses were utilized for data assessment. About 10.45% of alkaloids were found in the results. As the extract concentration grew, the quantity of bacterial development arrested did as well. The most notable impact was observed at the 100% concentration, with no growth zones of 18.9 mm for S. aureus and 15.8 mm for E. coli. The extract was more effective against Gram-positive bacteria. With p values less than 0.05, the statistical analysis found significant variations among the various treatments. Finally, the alkaloids found in noni leaves have a lot of potential to work as natural antibacterial agents and could be a substitute to fight antibiotic resistance.
