Abstract

An epilithic benthic algae functions as a primary producer living on rock substrates. The Autotrofic Index (AI) was measured to understand the level of water pollutions by quantifying an autotrofy organism. This research determined water quality of Pitap river based on the autotrofic level of an epilithic benthic algae and to understand the correlation between the autotrofic level and physicochemical parameters. The measurement of water quality based on Ash-Free Dry Mass (AFDM), the amount of chlorophyll-a and physicochemical parameters were taken every month with two repetitions on September and October 2014. Five sampling sites were selected using a purposive sampling method based on the variety of environmental conditions around the Pitap river. The results showed that the water quality in the upstream (Ajung and Langkap villages) were classified non-pollution (dominated by autotrof compounds) until less pollution (dominated by autotrof-heterotof compounds). Other locations in downstream (Tebing Tinggi, Sungsum and Juuh villages) were determined pollution of water quality by dominance of autotrof-heterotrof components to dominance by heterotof components. Spearman correlation explained that autotrofic index on September 2014 was closely correlated with water temperature and water velocity with their value are 0,954 and -0,794 at significantly α=0,01. On October 2014 water temperature was closely correlated with its value 0,681 at significantly α=0,05.

Abstract

Sungkai Peronema canescens is well known as a medicinal plant at Central Kalimantan. Indiginous people of Dayak and Banjar tribes who are living in East Kotawaringin Regency consume Sungkai plant into traditional medicine. The potential use of sungkai as medicine was identified from three selected villages of East Kotawaringin Regency namely Bagendang Permai, Bagendang Hulu and Bagendang Hilir. Ethnomedicine of sungkai leaves was investigated using a semi structured questionnaire technique and 180 respondents were selected by a purposive sampling. The interviewees were divided into gender and four groups based on their ages to identify knowledge level in using sungkai leaves as a medicinal plant. Their knowledge was analyzed based on gender and ages using Kruskal Wallis test and then Mann Whitney U-test was used to decide the difference of knowledge level. The results showed leaves are the main part to be utilized as medicine. Leaves were preferably boiled by respondents to increase their immune system and to cure fever and some used for puerperal mother bath mixture. The indiginous knowledge level was 82.57 categorized as a high knowledge level. Moreover, both gender and ages had no difference knowledge level on using sungkai as medicine.
