Abstract

Renggak (Amomum dealbatum Roxb) shows significant potential as a natural resource with applications in various fields, particularly in environmental sensing. This capability positions Renggak as a promising candidate for developing eco-friendly chemosensors, contributing to improved monitoring of these critical anions in the environment and health. Additionally, its diverse phytochemical profile suggests potential uses in medicinal applications, further enhancing its value as a multifaceted plant. This research focuses on the characterization of the methanol extract from Renggak (Amomum dealbatum Roxb) leaves, and it's potential to detect iodide and phosphate anions. The extraction process involved soaking dried renggak leaves in methanol for 72 hours. Afterwards, the solution was filtered and evaporated, resulting in a paste-like extract. The extract was characterized using FTIR and GC-MS techniques, followed by testing its performance as a chemosensor. The paste extract was dissolved in methanol and mixed with a saturated solution of iodide and phosphate salts for the anion detection test. Then, 3 mL of each anion solution was combined with the extract, and any changes in the solution were observed. FTIR analysis revealed the presence of OH groups and C=O double bonds in the methanol extract. GC-MS analysis identified 20 compounds, with hexadecanoic acid and 9-octadecenoic acid being the most abundant. The extract demonstrated fluorescent properties in the anion detection test, acting as a chemosensor. When exposed to a UV lamp at 250 nm, the solution emitted a green fluorescent glow, indicating the successful detection of anions. These findings suggest that the methanol extract of renggak leaves could serve as an effective fluorescent chemosensor for iodide and phosphate anions.

Abstract

This study explores the factors that shape collective psychological resilience in Libya, particularly in the context of the nation’s recent political instability, economic challenges, and complex cultural dynamics. The paper examines how these elements interact to strengthen or undermine community resilience, using a mixed-methods approach. Through qualitative interviews and quantitative data analysis, this research identifies key determinants of psychological resilience, focusing on cultural values, social capital, and economic conditions in Libyan society. Political instability, compounded by a decade of conflict, has forced communities to adapt and develop unique forms of resilience. This study also delves into the role of familial and community structures in coping with adversity, as well as the impact of government policies and foreign influence on the collective psyche of Libyan citizens. The findings suggest that while political and socioeconomic factors have undeniably shaped resilience, cultural influences rooted in communal solidarity and the importance of social support networks have played a central role in fostering psychological resilience. Understanding these complex factors is crucial for designing interventions aimed at improving mental health and social stability in post-conflict societies. The paper concludes with recommendations for policy makers and international organizations seeking to enhance psychological resilience through culturally appropriate and context-sensitive strategies.
