Abstract

One of the leading causes of declining water quality is contamination from human activities. The Sekadau River serves as a primary water source for the residents of Sekadau Regency, facilitating bathing, laundry, kitchen equipment cleaning, and freshwater fish cultivation. The objective of this study is to evaluate the water quality of the Sekadau River, comparing it against Class II standards as stipulated in Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021 on Environmental Protection and Management. Subsequently, pollution levels in the Sekadau River at the measurement point were determined using the Pollution Index Method (PIM). The research findings reveal that the pollution index values for 2018, 2022, and 2023 fall within the lightly polluted category. Conversely, in 2019, the water quality of the Sekadau River exhibited improvement. It complied with water quality standards per the Minister of Environment and Forestry Decree No. 115 on Quality Status Determination Guidelines. Consequently, the Sekadau River remains suitable for bathing, laundry, freshwater fish cultivation, and other purposes requiring water of the same quality as its designated use. However, considering the increasing pollution trends in 2022 and 2023, appropriate measures are necessary to prevent the Sekadau River from becoming more polluted.

Abstract

Hypercholesterolemia often initiates the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis which can occur slowly. As free radicals increase, the need for antioxidants also increases. Reducing LDL and increasing HDL levels is the target of therapy for hyperlipidemia patients with the main goals of lifestyle changes and drug therapy. Olive oil and fig extract have therapeutic benefits as alternative treatments from MUFA content dominated by oleic acid and phenolic compounds. The polyphenol content is known to inhibit the formation of atherosclerosis and inhibit the increase in MCP-1 levels in white mice on a high-fat diet. Therefore, it is hoped that the administration of figs extract and olive oil can overcome dyslipidemia, especially changes in HDL and LDL levels in white mice. To determine changes in HDL and LDL levels. The research conducted was a true experimental research was used with a Pre-Post control group research design and test statistical analysis with Microsoft Office 2013. Showed there was an effect of fig extract (Ficus Carica L) on changes in HDL levels and the effect of olive oil (Olea europea L) on changes in LDL levels in white rats (Rattus novergicus) fed a high-fat diet. The intervention of fig extract and olive oil had a significant effect on the group given the single intervention.

Abstract

The research aims to determine the effect of slaughter age on carcass characteristics and meat quality of KUB chickens kept by farmers as meat producers. The research used a completely randomized design with a unidirectional pattern using 65 un-sexed Kampung Unggul Balitbangtan (KUB) chickens. The chickens were divided into 4 slaughter age treatments, namely 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks and 10 weeks. At each slaughter age, 15 chickens are used as replications. All chickens in the slaughter age group are slaughtered using the bleeding method in the neck area by cutting off the respiratory tract, blood vessels and digestive tract. After the chicken is declared dead, it is dipped in warm water (temperature 80oC), then the feathers are cleaned, the head and neck, legs are cut and the internal contents are removed. For the purposes of measuring meat quality, meat samples were taken from the chest and then measured at the Animal Products Processing Technology Laboratory, Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Mataram University. Slaughter age increased live weight, lower thigh weight percentage, meat cooking loss value (P<0.01), carcass weight percentage, wing weight percentage, upper thigh weight percentage, and water holding capacity (P<0.05), but did not affect breast weight percentage , back weight and meat pH (P>0.05). It was concluded that delaying the age of slaughter increases the edible part and decreases the inedible part. This research delays the age of slaughter to increase the edible part and reduce the inedible part.

Abstract

Biostimulants are natural compounds that can stimulate plant growth. Biostimulants from Padina minor contain secondary metabolites and growth-regulating substances needed in various plant growth metabolisms, including soybeans (Glycine max L.). Biostimulants also play a role in enhancing drought stress tolerance in plants. Several solvents are used to extract natural compounds found in P. minor. This study aims to investigate the effect of P. minor biostimulant extracted using various solvents on soybeans' chlorophyll content under different drought stress levels. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors: a. Solvent (control, aquadest, methanol, and ethanol) and b. Soil field capacity (100%, 75%, 50%, and 25%). Applying P.minor as biostimulant extracted with methanol solvent showed higher average chlorophyll a, b, and total chlorophyll than other solvent types. Imposing stress up to 25% did not significantly affect soybean chlorophyll levels. However, the interaction between soil field capacity and P. minor extract from methanol solvent can trigger resilience response to drought conditions up to 25% soil field capacity and provide the highest average chlorophyll content compared to other treatments during the soybean vegetative period. Methanol is the best solvent for extracting P. minor as biostimulant and can provide the highest average chlorophyll content at 25% soil field capacity.
