Abstract

Salmonella spp. are Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals and are recognized as one of the major causes of foodborne diseases. This study aimed to identify the presence of Salmonella spp. in gado-gado sold in the canteens of Tadulako University. This research employed a descriptive exploratory laboratory design. Samples were collected from five different canteens using a random sampling technique. Microbiological analyses were conducted through presumptive and confirmatory tests using the Most Probable Number (MPN) method, Total Plate Count (TPC), Gram staining, cultivation on selective Salmonella–Shigella Agar (SSA), and biochemical testing using Triple Sugar Iron Agar (TSIA). The MPN results showed an average value of 4,900 MPN/mL of sample, while the TPC reached 35,800/ml sample. These values indicate that the food product does not meet the microbiological safety standards established by the Indonesian Ministry of Health, as the TPC exceeds the maximum permissible limit of 104 CFU/mL.

Abstract

Mangroves are distinctive plants that grow in coastal areas, estuaries, river mouths, and sheltered deltas in tropical and subtropical regions. The economic value of mangrove plants lies in their wood and fruit. This study aimed to identify the potential of mangrove plants as food resources in Lalombi Village. The research employed observation, interviews, and questionnaire distribution to local communities. The results revealed that five mangrove species are utilized as food resources, namely Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh., Nypa fruticans Wurmb, Bruguiera gymnorhiza (L.) Lamk., Acanthus ilicifolius L., and Sonneratia alba. These species are processed into various food products, including mangrove onde-onde, mangrove syrup, mangrove crackers, mangrove tea, and mangrove dodol. The processing methods involve traditional techniques such as soaking, boiling, filtering, pounding, drying, and packaging. Questionnaire results indicated that the local community possesses a very good level of knowledge and positive perceptions regarding the potential of mangroves as food resources and sources of economic income. Support from the government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) was considered beneficial, although challenges remain in terms of technology, marketing, and product legalization. This study recommends the provision of further training, policy support, and the promotion and sustainable development of mangrove-based products to enhance the welfare of coastal communities.

Abstract

Ferns (Pteridophyta) are a group of vascular plants that reproduce by spores and possess true roots, stems, and leaves, as well as xylem and phloem tissues. This study was conducted to investigate the phenetic relationships among fern species based on their morphological characteristics in an oil palm plantation located in Tampaure Hamlet, Bambaira District, Pasangkayu Regency, West Sulawesi, Indonesia. A field exploration method was employed, and samples were collected using a free-collection technique. Morphological data were compiled using Microsoft Excel and subsequently analyzed through Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and the Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA) in PAST version 4.03. A total of 50 individuals representing 10 fern species were identified from both terrestrial and epiphytic habitats, namely Sphaerostephanos heterocarpus, Diplazium dilatatum, Davallia denticulata, Asplenium nidus, Selaginella delicatula, Pityrogramma calomelanos, Stenochlaena palustris, Lygodium circinatum, Nephrolepis biserrata, and Pteris wallichiana. The UPGMA analysis revealed that Pteris wallichiana and Sphaerostephanos heterocarpus exhibited the closest phenetic relationship, with a similarity index of 0.88. In contrast, the most distant relationship was observed between Selaginella delicatula and Asplenium nidus, with a similarity index of 0.63. The PCA biplot analysis demonstrated that the major variation distinguishing fern species in the study area was primarily influenced by meristic traits, particularly the number of fertile pinnae, as well as overall plant size. These morphological characteristics contributed substantially to species differentiation and the phenetic grouping pattern observed among the investigated fern species.

Abstract

Mangroves are coastal vegetation with a high capacity to adapt to their environment, characterized by distinctive and unique root systems. This study aimed to determine the accumulation of salt (NaCl) in the leaves of two salt-secreting mangrove species in Sarudu Village, Pasangkayu Regency. The research employed a quantitative descriptive approach, with samples collected through a survey. Salt accumulation data were obtained through argentometric titration using the Mohr method. Environmental measurements in the mangrove forest of Sarudu Village showed an average air temperature of 30°C, salinity ranging from 29 to 30 ppt, and pH values between 7.0 and 7.1. The results indicated that the highest average salt accumulation in the leaves of Aegiceras corniculatum was recorded at Station 3 (6.08%), while the lowest was found at Station 1 (3.07%). Similarly, in Avicennia lanata, the highest NaCl accumulation was observed at Station 3 (5.33%), whereas the lowest occurred at Station 1 (2.92%). Station 3 exhibited the highest percentage of salt accumulation among all sampling stations, likely because it was located in a coastal area that was frequently inundated by seawater to a depth of approximately 20 cm.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of providing lecture recordings on students’ self-regulated learning (SRL) in online learning contexts characterized by unstable internet connectivity and limited access to course materials. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design was employed involving 52 students from the Biology Education Study Program at Tadulako University, with 26 students assigned to the control group and 26 to the treatment group. SRL data were collected using a questionnaire adapted from the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), comprising five subscales: metacognition, time and study environment management, effort regulation, elaboration, and help-seeking. Students in the treatment group received YouTube links to lecture recordings via WhatsApp within 24 hours after each session, whereas those in the control group attended lectures without access to the recordings. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA), with pretest scores as the covariate, showed a significant difference in posttest composite SRL scores between the groups (F(1,49) = 32.806; p < 0.001; η²p = 0.401). Significant effects were also found for metacognition (η²p = 0.394), time management (η²p = 0.173), effort regulation (η²p = 0.153), and elaboration (η²p = 0.100), while help-seeking showed no significant difference. These findings suggest that providing lecture recordings through familiar and easily accessible platforms is an effective low-cost pedagogical strategy for enhancing students’ SRL in online learning environments with infrastructural constraints. Therefore, lecture recordings should be considered by lecturers and study program administrators when designing online instruction that supports students’ autonomous learning.

Abstract

This study aims to identify teachers' efforts in arousing students' interest in biology learning in public high schools in Dondo District. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with research instruments in the form of observation sheets, questionnaires, and interview guidelines. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, questionnaires, and interviews. Data were analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, while the questionnaires were processed descriptively to identify trends in each indicator of teacher efforts. The results showed that teachers had made various efforts to arouse students' interest in learning, with the highest achievement in the indicator of creating a pleasant atmosphere, followed by giving praise and varied learning methods, and efforts to relate the material to everyday life. Meanwhile, the indicator with the lowest achievement was providing feedback that had not been given specifically to each student. This finding was reinforced by the results of interviews that showed that teachers tried to create interesting learning through a variety of methods, concrete examples, and positive interactions during learning. This study concludes that teachers' efforts to arouse students' interest in learning biology have been effective, but the provision of feedback and strengthening of more equitable learning collaboration needs to be improved.
