Abstract

The prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia continues to increase from year to year, especially in the city of Manado. The Central Statistics Agency of Manado City shows that hypertension is the disease with the highest prevalence in Manado City with a total of 27,604 cases in 2020. Hypertension risk factors are divided into 2 major parts, namely unmodified risk factors and modified risk factors. Non-modifiable risk factors such as age over 65 years, family history, and comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus (DM) or kidney disease. Risk factors that can be changed include an unhealthy diet (excessive salt consumption, a diet high in saturated fats and trans fats, low intake of fruits and vegetables), lack of physical activity, tobacco and alcohol consumption, and being overweight or obese. The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between age and smoking habits and the incidence of hypertension in the community in the city of Manado. This study is an observational research with a cross-sectional approach. The data was taken in Manado City. Data collection will be carried out in June 2024. Data collection was carried out through interviews using questionnaires. The data were analyzed using the square khi test. The results showed that the most distributed respondents were aged 50 years and over (63.3%), did not smoke (60.0%) and had hypertension (70.0%). The results of bivariate analysis obtained p values of 0.803 (age correlation with hypertension) and 0.328 (correlation between smoking habits and hypertension). This value suggests that there is no significant correlation between age and smoking habits and the incidence of hypertension. It can be concluded that age and smoking are not correlated to the incidence of hypertension in the people of Manado city.

Abstract

Infectious diseases are a health problem faced by developing countries like Indonesia. This disease is caused by bacteria that attack humans. Improper use of antibiotics can cause bacterial resistance to antimicrobials. Antimicrobial resistance is the most significant public health threat, resulting in greater demand for finding new effective antimicrobials from natural products such as sea sponges. This research aimed to test the antibacterial activity of Theonella extract against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and determine the class of chemical compounds contained therein. Research stages include sampling, sample preparation and extraction, qualitative phytochemical screening, making solutions, media creation, and antibacterial testing. The research showed that sponges metabolite compounds consisted of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and phenolics. The diameter of the inhibition zone at concentrations of 80% and 100% showed potential antibacterial activity but more strongly inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria than Escherichia coli bacteria.

Abstract

The decline in fossil fuels, combined with increased fuel consumption and its negative effects on the environment, has necessitated the search for renewable energy alternatives. Among renewable energy sources, biomass is a dependable source because it is constantly available in nature. Indonesia has approximately 49,810 MW of potential plant-based biomass resources. The abundant availability of agricultural waste and biomass conversion techniques allow agricultural biomass, including rice, to be converted into an important renewable energy source. Investments in renewable energy derived from biomass can be made if supplies remain abundant and consistent in the future. Rice husks and straw, which are the primary waste products of rice production, have recently received a lot of attention as a renewable energy resource. The cost of rice husks and straw is lower and has no impact on food prices, and there is no conflict between food and fuel. This paper examines renewable energy derived from agricultural biomass, rice plant waste as a renewable energy source, and the conversion of rice plant waste into energy.

Abstract

Mpox is a zoonotic disease caused by Monkeypox virus (MPXV), with a surge in cases posing a major challenge due to the unavailability of specific antivirals. Indonesia's biodiversity offers great opportunities for the exploration of bioactive compounds from natural materials as therapeutic alternatives, especially by targeting the D13 protein, which is an essential structural protein in MPXV. This study aims to evaluate the interaction and affinity of molecular tethering of bioactive compounds to D13 protein and analyse the physicochemical, pharmacokinetic and toxicity profiles of the compounds. The research was conducted using molecular tethering method using Gnina software on Google Colab platform. Antiviral activity prediction was performed using PASS Online, followed by Lipinski's Rule of Five (RO5) evaluation and pharmacokinetic and toxicity analysis using SwissADME and pkCSM. The results showed that the tested bioactive compounds had good potential antiviral activity and fulfilled the RO5 criteria. Pharmacokinetic and toxicity analyses indicated good pharmacokinetic profiles but poor metabolic profiles, with predicted low toxicity levels, supporting the feasibility of these compounds to be further developed as therapeutic candidates. In addition, the bioactive compound showed the ability to interact with D13 protein with the best affinity tethering value of myricetin with a free binding energy (ΔG) value of -8.37 kcal/mol, making it a potential candidate as an antiviral for Mpox.

Abstract

Weeds are very detrimental to maize because they compete for light, water and nutrients. This observation aims to determine the composition and structure of weeds on narrow leaves on corn cultivation land in the lowlands, namely in the Saworatap area, Gedangan subdistrict and the highlands in Randuagung village, Wonosari subdistrict, Malang. This observation was carried out in November 2024. The method used in this observation was survey and sample collection techniques were purposive sampling, making plots measuring 1 m x 1 m with a total of 6 plots in both locations. In the lowlands, the composition of grass weeds is only two species, namely Eleusine indica and Setaria verticillata which belong to the Poaceae family. The composition of grass weeds in the highlands has a higher species diversity, namely six species divided into two families. Weed species belonging to the Poaceae family are Echinochloa colona, ​​Setaria verticillata, Eleusine indica, and Chrysopogon zizanioide, while grass weeds belonging to the Cyperaceae or enigma family are Cyperus iria and Cyperus rotundus.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains the second leading cause of death in the world, with the resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to first-line drugs, such as isoniazid (INH), contributing to the emergence of multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB). This study aims to evaluate the potential of quercetin and its derivatives as InhA enzyme inhibitors through an in silico approach to offer innovative therapeutic alternatives to improve the effectiveness of TB treatment. The analysis includes physicochemical properties, ADMET profiles, molecular interactions, and affinity of compounds to the InhA enzyme as an antituberculosis target. The study workflow included ligand and receptor preparation, prediction of biological activity, physicochemical and ADMET analysis, docking validation, molecular docking, and visualization of molecular interactions. Molecular docking was performed using Gnina software, showing that rutin has the lowest binding energy (ΔG) of -12.22 kcal/mol, indicating strong interaction affinity. In addition, ADMET and toxicity analysis showed good pharmacokinetic potential for the test compounds Docking validation confirmed the reliability of the employed methodology, further supporting the potential of quercetin and its derivatives as antituberculosis candidates. However, although quercetin and its derivatives showed promising biological activity, the ADMET profile results were variable, requiring further optimization to develop effective and safe TB therapies.

Abstract

The Mandalika Coastal Area, located in Central Lombok Regency, is a row of beaches and bays that have a large coral reef ecosystem and intertidal zone area. The increasing growth of activities on the Mandalika coast will affect the life of the coral reef ecosystem, one of which is the concentration of heavy metals that exceeds the quality standard limits which will be very dangerous for coral reefs. This study aims to determine the concentration of the heavy metals lead and cadmium in Porites lutea coral reefs in Kuta, Tanjung Aan and Gerupuk beaches. Research data collection (field and laboratory) was carried out in May 2023. Coral reef preparation was carried out at the Advanced and Analytical Biology Laboratory, FMIPA, University of Mataram and measurements of heavy metal content were carried out at the Environmental Laboratory, the West Nusa Tenggara Province Environment and Forestry Service. Measurement and calculation of heavy metal content using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). The results showed that the concentrations of the heavy metals lead and cadmium in Porites lutea coral reefs are < 0.0005 mg/L and < 0.0001 mg/L, which are still below the quality standards (PPRI No.22 of 2021 concerning Sea water Wuality Standards on Marine Biota). The Bioaccumulation Factors (BAF) value in all samples of P. lutea coral in Mandalika coastal waters is 0.00 mg/L, this shows that there is no accumulation of heavy metals in P. lutea coral.

Abstract

Helminthosporium sp. is an organism that causes leaf blight disease in corn plants, thus becoming one of the causes of declining production in the agricultural sector. Lack of awareness and low knowledge of farmers in control efforts that still use synthetic pesticides that have a negative impact on the environment and health, therefore the use of antagonistic microbes that live around plant roots such as Trichoderma sp. is one way to control environmentally friendly soil-borne pathogens. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of Trichoderma sp. and Helminthosporium sp. macroscopically and microscopically and to test the antagonistic ability of Trichoderma sp. fungi based on competition tests, antibiosis tests and mycoparasitism tests against Helminthosporium sp. fungi isolate Tondegesan. Trichoderma sp. fungal antagonist test against Helminthosporium sp. fungi using the duo plate assay method in Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) media in vitro. The results showed that Trichoderma sp. fungi. has macroscopic morphological characteristics of dark green colonies with fine cotton fibers and microscopic morphological characteristics of green septate hyphae, upright conidiophores and many branches. Helmintosporium sp. fungi have macroscopic morphological characteristics of flat fibrous colony surfaces, oval shapes with slightly brownish white colors and microscopic morphological characteristics of fairly thick hyphal walls with yellowish brown colors. Based on the antagonist test, Trichoderma sp. fungi have an inhibition percentage of 71% against Helminthosporium sp. fungi on the seventh day.
