Abstract

Ecoenzyme is an organic fermentation solution obtained from household organic waste, which has great potential in supporting sustainable environmental management. This study aims to review the benefits and applications of ecoenzymes based on current literature, and evaluate their relevance to global environmental challenges. The results of the review indicate that ecoenzymes play an effective role in waste treatment, pollution reduction, and improving soil and water quality. In addition, ecoenzymes also contribute to climate change mitigation by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Despite its significant benefits, the adoption of ecoenzymes on a large scale faces challenges, such as the lack of standardization of production processes and the need for more in-depth scientific validation. Therefore, further research is needed to optimize the use of ecoenzymes and support their application in various sectors. This study is expected to be a reference for the development of environmentally friendly technologies that are in line with the principles of sustainable development. Key words: ecoenzyme, environmental management, sustainable development, climate change mitigation, organic waste

In the quest for safer and more effective alternative treatments, medicinal plants like Momordica charantia (bitter melon) and Cinnamomum verum (cinnamon) have been thoroughly examined. This study explores the potential of these plants in managing diabetes using a literature review method based on secondary data from scientific articles, books, and research reports from 2013 to 2023. The findings indicate that Momordica charantia shows antihyperglycemic effects by enhancing insulin secretion, protecting pancreatic beta cells, and inhibiting carbohydrate-digesting enzymes. Conversely, Cinnamomum verum enhances insulin sensitivity, regulates glucose metabolism, and reduces insulin resistance. Both plants also have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties beneficial for diabetes management. Clinical trials suggest that extracts from Momordica charantia and Cinnamomum verum significantly lower fasting blood glucose and HbA1c levels in type 2 diabetes patients.

Abstract

Given the current state of digital technology, educators must be proficient in digital literacy in order to facilitate creative and efficient teaching methods. The purpose of this study is to characterize biology teachers' levels of digital literacy and examine how they relate to innovative teaching practices in Banda Aceh secondary schools. The study included biology teachers from a number of secondary schools that were specifically chosen, and it used a qualitative approach and case study methodology. In-depth interviews, observations, and documentation were used to gather data. According to the findings, the majority of teachers had a moderate degree of digital literacy. While the use of interactive digital learning platforms remained relatively low, technology use was still restricted to online communication and the creation of presentation media. Teachers faced a number of challenges, such as inadequate governmental support, a lack of ongoing training, and limited facilities. All things considered, it can be said that biology instructors' degree of digital literacy has a big impact on the variety and caliber of instructional innovation used in the classroom. As a result, it is advised that educational officials and schools strengthen their support by integrating ICT into curriculum plans, offering technological infrastructure, and providing training in digital literacy. It is anticipated that these initiatives will encourage more imaginative, participatory, and contextual learning.

Abstract

Plants are organism that can produce organic materials needed for it self and another organism. The role of plants as the producers is very important for food chain in life. There are various types of plants that are very useful as the producers in Glee Reulueng, Leupung District, Aceh Besar. This study aims to determine the diversity, identify and analyze the composition of species, plants, and tree structures of forest vegetation. The method used were direct observation using the line transect. The plants observed were only poles and trees. The minimum size of pole type has a total height of 5 m and 10 m for trees. Data analysis was carried out by looking for density, frequency, dominance, important value index (INP) and some dominance ration (SDR). The results showed that there are 30 species of plant vegetation in Glee Reuleung, the Morisita distribution index of plant vegetation is random with a value of id = 1 and the diversity of plant species is classified as moderate, with the highest value in plot 1 (? = 2.91) and is lowest in plot 3 (?= 2.36)Keywords: Plant diversity, Line transect, forest vegetation, Glee Reuleung

Abstract

The intertidal zone of Iboih Beach in Sukakarya District, Sabang, has significant macroalgae diversity with different substrate variations. This study examined the diversity, distribution, and ecological significance of macroalgae using the quadrat method with purposive sampling technique on three plots measuring 2 2 m (coral, sand, and rock substrates), each replicated three times. Measurements of environmental parameters including temperature (using a thermometer), salinity (refractometer), and depth (Secchi disk) were carried out prior to sampling to ensure that environmental conditions were recorded. The results showed Galaxaura rugosa as the dominant species (INP 63.22), followed by Halimeda opuntia (38.42) and Chaetomorpha crassa (35.27), which showed a preference for hard substrates rich in nutrients. In contrast, Caulerpa sp. had the lowest INP (9.33), indicating specific habitat adaptation. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H=1.57) was in the moderate category, with an average INP of 28.575 reflecting a diverse community occupying different ecological niches. The coral substrate supported the highest abundance due to its stability and nutrient availability. This finding confirms the crucial role of substrate characteristics in the structure of intertidal macroalgal communities.Keywords:DiversityMacroalgaeIntertidal zoneSubstrateIboih Beach

Abstract

This study aims to identify the secondary metabolite content and active compounds in plant extracts through phytochemical screening and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. Phytochemical tests revealed the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and terpenoids, which are known for their biological activities including antioxidant and anticholesterol properties. GC-MS analysis identified 21 compounds, with dominant constituents including Phytol, 8-(2,3-Dihydroxy-3-methylbutyl)-7-methoxy-2H-chromen-2-one, and Murrayatin. Among these, Phytol was identified as the primary candidate for anticholesterol activity, supported by literature indicating its role in inhibiting cholesterol biosynthesis. These findings suggest that the extract has potential as a natural anticholesterol agent, although further pharmacological studies are needed to confirm its specific bioactivity.
