Abstract

The leaves of Cassia alata L. (Ketepeng cina) are known to have antifungal properties and can be used to treat fungal skin infections such as tinea versicolor and ringworm. The leaf extract of Cassia alata contains antimicrobial compounds that inhibit fungal growth. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of an antifungal emulgel containing ethanol extract of Cassia alata leaves in inhibiting the growth of dermatophyte fungi. This research was conducted from May to December 2024 at the Pharmacy Laboratory and Microbiology Laboratory of Cendrawasih University Jayapura. The plant samples were collected from Koya Barat, Jayapura City, and extracted using the maceration method with 96% ethanol. Phytochemical screening tests showed that Cassia alata leaves were positive for alkaloids, saponins, tannins, flavonoids, and phenols. The antifungal activity test of the ethanol extract emulgel formulation against Trichophyton rubrum, Microsporum canis, and Epidermophyton floccosum showed significance values lower than the commonly accepted level (α = 0.05), indicating that the null hypothesis (H₀) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H₁) was accepted. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the antifungal emulgel formulation containing ethanol extract of Cassia alata leaves is effective against Epidermophyton floccosum at a concentration of 1000.

Abstract

Coastal communities are increasingly vulnerable to climate change impacts, highlighting the importance of strengthening local adaptive capacity through sustainable resource utilization. This community service program aimed to improve community knowledge and skills in converting coconut shell waste into environmentally friendly briquettes as an alternative energy source in Armopa, Tarontha, and Narum Villages, Bonggo District, Sarmi Regency, Papua. The program applied a participatory approach involving resource assessment, community coordination, briquette production training, monitoring, evaluation, and the provision of charcoal grinding machines. The training was conducted on 6–8 September 2024 and involved 79 participants from the three villages. The results showed that participants were able to perform all stages of briquette production, including carbonization, charcoal crushing, binder mixing, molding, and drying. The program enhanced community capacity to utilize coconut shell waste as a renewable energy source, reducing dependence on firewood and kerosene. In addition to environmental benefits through biomass waste utilization, coconut shell briquettes offer economic opportunities to support local livelihoods. Program sustainability is supported by abundant raw materials, village government support, and appropriate technology assistance, although greater youth participation remains necessary for future development.

Abstract

The environment faces many important issues that must be resolved immediately because they can negatively impact various forms of life, including humans. One common problem is the lack of maintenance, which leads to the decline of forest areas and marginal land. Since plants play a vital role in human life, conservation and reforestation efforts are necessary to restore the land and maintain the balance of life. This activity aims to raise environmental awareness among the younger generation through productive plant-based greening activities. Methods include focus group discussions (FGDs), planting on marginal land, and evaluation. This activity was carried out in Jayapura City in collaboration with the Papua Environmental Council (MLH) and the Papua Province chapter of the Muhammadiyah Student Association (IPM). The practical planting activity with productive plants took place on barren land in the Koya Barat area of the Muhammadiyah apartment complex in Jayapura City. Based on the evaluation results, it was found that, before the activity, participants had a good understanding of basic environmental knowledge, reaching 96%. This increased to 100% after the activity. Understanding of protecting the environment and biological resources increased by 26.16%, rising from 76.44% to 96.44%. Understanding of land rehabilitation and reforestation increased by an average of 79.17%, rising from 57.33% to 97.33%. These increases are significant because they demonstrate substantial improvement. Participants responded positively to the material, with 84.8% strongly agreeing and 15.25% agreeing
