Abstract

This study aims to identify medicinal plant species, describe the plant parts used and their processing methods, and develop learning media in the form of a pocket book and flipbook in Lakuan Village, Lakea Sub-district, Buol Regency. This research used a descriptive qualitative approach through field observations, interviews with key informants (traditional healers) and supporting informants (medicinal plant users), as well as documentation. Data were analyzed descriptively by grouping plant species, used parts, and processing techniques, supported by literature review. The results showed 32 species from 24 families, with specific plant parts used, namely leaves for fever and wounds due to their ease of processing, roots for internal diseases, rhizomes as anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agents, stems for relaxation, fruits for digestion and immunity, and flowers for cough treatment. The pocket book and flipbook media were chosen because they are practical, concise, and interactive, making it easier for students to understand the material. The feasibility test results indicated that the media was categorized as highly feasible as a context-based learning resource.

Abstract

Microplastic pollution is an emerging environmental concern because these particles can accumulate in aquatic ecosystems but are difficult to detect visually. This study aimed to identify the morphological types and determine the density of microplastics in sediments from Lake Poso, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, and to develop an educational poster based on the findings. A quantitative descriptive approach was applied. Sediment samples were collected from three categories of sites: an area with minimal human activity, a tourism area, and a residential area. Two sampling points were established at each site, yielding six sediment samples. At each sampling point, 200 mL of sediment was collected using the hand-collection method and analyzed at the Biology Laboratory, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Tadulako University. Organic matter was digested using a 10% KOH solution, after which the samples were filtered and examined microscopically. Suspected microplastic particles were classified as fibers, fragments, films, or pellets. Microplastics were detected in all sediment samples, although their density varied among sites. Fragments were the most abundant type, followed by fibers, films, and pellets. Microplastic densities were 170 particles/100 g of dry sediment at the site with minimal human activity, 281 particles/100 g at the tourism site, and 218.5 particles/100 g at the residential site. The educational poster developed from these findings was evaluated by content, design, and media experts, as well as student users, and was categorized as highly suitable for educational use. These findings indicate that Lake Poso sediments are contaminated with microplastics, potentially associated with tourism, fisheries, residential activities, and other anthropogenic inputs. Improved waste management and environmental monitoring are therefore needed to reduce microplastic contamination in the lake.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the growth response of Katokkon chili plants to the administration of shallot extract. This type of research is an experiment using a quantitative approach method carried out in the form of experiments arranged in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). This design is carried out with a single treatment consisting of 5 treatment levels, the treatment codes to be tested are: B0: control / no treatment, B1: 7% shallot extract, B2: 14% shallot extract, B3: 21% shallot extract and B4: 28% shallot extract which treatments were repeated 3 times so that there were 15 experimental arrangements. The parameters observed were plant height, number of leaves and stem diameter. Data analysis used the ANOVA test and continued with the BNT test. The results showed that the shallot extract treatment had a significant effect on the growth of Katokkon chili plants in the parameters of plant height and number of leaves. The best treatment was obtained at a concentration of 14% and had no significant effect on stem diameter.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify mangrove species occurring in Kaili Beach, Boyantongo Village, South Parigi District. The research employed a descriptive method with a qualitative approach using a field exploration survey. Species identification was conducted based on observations of morphological characteristics, including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits, supported by measurements of environmental physical parameters such as air temperature (28 °C), salinity (32 ppt), soil pH (7), water pH (6.2), and relative humidity (72% RH). The results revealed that the mangrove vegetation at Kaili Beach comprised five orders, namely Malpighiales, Myrtales, Lamiales, and Sapindales, and four families, including Rhizophoraceae, Lythraceae, Acanthaceae, and Meliaceae. A total of eight mangrove species were identified: Rhizophora apiculata Blume, Rhizophora mucronata Lamk., Ceriops tagal (Perr.) C.B.Rob., Bruguiera gymnorrhiza (L.) Lamk., Sonneratia alba Smith., Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh., Xylocarpus moluccensis Pierre., and Xylocarpus granatum J. Koenig. The presence of these mangrove species indicates that the physical and chemical parameters of Kaili Beach remain within the ecological tolerance range for mangrove growth. However, the slightly acidic water pH (6.2) suggests that habitat conditions are not yet fully optimal.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis keberadaan makrozoobentos sebagai bioindikator kualitas air di Sungai Masaingi serta mengembangkan hasil penelitian menjadi media pembelajaran berupa Flipbook. Penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif kuantitatif pada tiga stasiun pengamatan yang masing-masing terdiri atas tiga titik sampling. Pengambilan sampel makrozoobentos dilakukan menggunakan teknik Surber sampling, sedangkan kualitas air diukur melalui parameter fisika-kimia yang meliputi suhu, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), dan kecepatan arus. Data biologis dianalisis menggunakan Family Biotic Index (FBI) untuk menentukan tingkat kualitas air. Hasil penelitian mengidentifikasi empat famili makrozoobentos, yaitu Philopotamidae, Heptageniidae, Palaemonidae, dan Gecarcinucidae. Nilai FBI sebesar 4,94 menunjukkan bahwa kualitas air Sungai Masaingi tergolong baik meskipun mengalami pencemaran organik ringan. Hasil penelitian selanjutnya dikembangkan menjadi media pembelajaran berupa Flipbook yang memperoleh tingkat kelayakan sebesar 83,5% berdasarkan validasi ahli dan 88% berdasarkan respons mahasiswa, sehingga termasuk kategori sangat layak digunakan dalam pembelajaran biologi. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa makrozoobentos efektif digunakan sebagai bioindikator kualitas air sekaligus menjadi sumber belajar kontekstual yang valid dan aplikatif.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the macronutrient composition of seaweed noodles (Eucheuma cottonii) formulated with different levels of seaweed flour substitution and to develop the research findings into a poster-based learning medium. A laboratory experiment was conducted using a one-factor completely randomized design (CRD) comprising four treatments: P0 (100% wheat flour:0% seaweed flour), P1 (90%:10%), P2 (80%:20%), and P3 (70%:30%), with three replicates per treatment. Carbohydrate, protein, and fat contents were determined using the Anthrone, Biuret, and Soxhlet methods, respectively. Macronutrient data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) at a 5% significance level, followed by the least significant difference (LSD) test. Seaweed flour substitution significantly affected the carbohydrate, protein, and fat contents of the noodles. The carbohydrate contents of P0, P1, P2, and P3 were 56.278%, 71.631%, 68.402%, and 65.490%, respectively. The corresponding protein contents were 4.355%, 7.441%, 6.458%, and 5.337%, while the fat contents were 1.117%, 1.262%, 1.097%, and 0.896%, respectively. Among the tested formulations, P1 exhibited the highest carbohydrate and protein contents. The poster-based learning medium received feasibility scores of 85% from the content expert, 85% from the design expert, 85% from the media expert, and 90% from the student participants, yielding an overall mean score of 86.25% and placing it in the highly feasible category. These findings demonstrate that E. cottonii substitution affects the macronutrient profile of noodles and that the resulting research findings can be effectively developed into a feasible research-based learning medium.
