Abstract

An key factor in promoting the growth and development of plants is fertilizer. Both organic and inorganic fertilizers can be used for fertilization. If inorganic fertilizers are applied over an extended period of time without the incorporation of organic matter, the soil's quality may be compromised, leading to suboptimal plant development. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the optimal fertilizer dose for purple eggplant growth response, as well as the effects of NPK fertilizer, liquid organic fertilizer made from vegetable waste, and a combination of both on the vegetative growth of purple eggplant plants. A two-factor Complete Random Design was employed in this study, with three replicates and five treatment levels for each of the liquid organic fertilizer made from vegetable waste and NPK fertilizer treatment. The Anova two-way test was used to examine the data, and then the DMRT test was performed. The application of liquid organic fertilizer made from vegetable waste and the combination of the two fertilizers had a real effect on plant height, leaf area, wet weight, and dry weight but no real effect on the number of leaves, according to the results. On the other hand, the application of NPK fertilizer had a real effect on plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, wet weight, and dry weight. The results of the DMRT test (5%) indicated that the optimal dosage for plant height, wet weight, and dry weight was 1.5 grams of NPK and 10 ml of liquid organic fertilizer made from vegetable waste; for the number of leaves, it was 1.5 grams of NPK and 2 grams, and for the area of leaves, it was 1 gram of NPK.

Abstract

One of the primary challenges in rice cultivation is the disturbance caused by pest infestations. Among the pests that frequently cause damage to rice plants is the white rice stem borer (Scirpophaga innotata). The life cycle of Scirpophaga innotata comprises egg, larva, pupa, and adult stages. This article is based on a literature review and discusses the natural enemies most commonly encountered at each stage of the Scirpophaga innotata life cycle. The findings of this article can be summarized as follows: Natural enemies of the white rice stem borer during the egg stage include parasitoids such as Trichogramma japonicum Ashm., Tetrastichus schoenobii, and Telenomus rowani, as well as the predator Conocephalus sp. During the larva-pupa stage, parasitoids such as Apantheles sp., Bracon sp., Tropobracon sp., and Temelucha bigutella are present, along with predators like Miscrapis crocea and Harmonia octomaculata. Regarding the adult stage, parasitoids were not found to be natural enemies of adult S. innotata. However, the most commonly encountered predators include Coccinella transversalis (Thunberg) and Paederus sp.

Abstract

Glycophate is the active ingredient in RoundupⓇ hebicide, which is commonly used in agriculture. Exposure to the herbicide glyphosate may affect the development of Parkinson Disease in humans. pre-natal and post-natal exposure to glyphosate exerts neurological effects and neuropsychiatric effects, even at low concentrations. This study aimed to examine the effects on cognitive, sensory and motor development in male rats exposed to the active ingredient glycophate in RoundupⓇ at various concentrations. In this study using test animals in the form of male rats with an age of 10 weeks, then the rats were divided into 4 treatment groups, namely the normal group, 100 µL, 50 µL, and 25 µL RoundupⓇ, induction was given orally every day for 4 weeks. Then at the last week, the body weight of the rats was measured and several tests were conducted to see the effect of glycophate induction on rat cognition through the morris water maze and y maze tests, sensory development through the hot plate test, and rat motor development through the hanging wire test. The results showed that glyphosphate administration affected the body weight of the rats, and affected the cognitive development of the rats. The 50 µL dose treatment group showed the most visible effect of glycophosphate exposure on cognitive tests compared to other groups. In the sensory test, the 50 µL ml dose treatment group also had low sensitivity compared to other groups, and low motor ability compared to other groups. Glycophate was seen to affect the cognitive, sensory and motor development of the rats.

Abstract

Tuberculosis is a contagious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The transmission of pulmonary TB occurs by the emission of droplets who are positive for the disease. Attempts were undertaken to examine interactions between cadres and the community. The patient's close contacts underwent microscopic inspection utilising the Ziehl Neelsen staining procedure. Between 2023 and October, a total of 360 cases of tuberculosis will be investigated using the ZN painting method. Among the close contacts of the 72 patients, 20% (6 individuals) will be identified as having tuberculosis. This study aimed to assess the outcomes of BTA microscopic examination conducted on close household contacts within the operating region of UPTD Puskesmas Cilegon in 2024. The research method employed a descriptive observational approach with a cross-sectional design. The study was carried out from 1 February to 9 March 2024 at the UPTD Puskesmas Cilegon. The sample technique employed is purposive sampling. The study findings revealed that out of the total number of respondents, 32 individuals reported having direct contact with individuals affected by tuberculosis. Among these respondents, 13 (40.6%) were male and 19 (59.4%) were female. Out of the 32 individuals who had close contact, one respondent (3.3%) tested positive for BTA when microscopic inspection was conducted. The proximity to the afflicted individual directly correlates with the heightened likelihood of transmission. Proximity between those who are infected and their close contacts can lead to the transmission of the infection, even when sharing the same sleeping space.

Abstract

The higher the productivity of the Mamasa coffee plant, the greater the waste produced and if it is not processed it will cause environmental problems. This research aims to produce and characterize the macro nutrient value in compost from Mamasa coffee waste using the microorganism bioactivator EM 4. This research was carried out by mixing coffee waste with EM-4, water and sugar in certain proportions. The composting process lasts for four weeks, with observations every week to trigger physical and chemical changes in the compost produced. The research results showed that the compost produced had good physical characteristics, namely black in color, not lumpy and odorless. Determination of macro nutrient levels in the organic material of Mamasa coffee waste before and after fermentation into compost showed a significant increase in the macro nutrients it contains, namely total organic C 25.59%; organic matter was 43.91%, Nitrogen was 2.53%, P2O5 was 1.95%, K2O was 1.68%, C/N ratio was 9.48 and water content was 24.34%. Thus, Mamasa coffee waste can be processed into high quality compost using EM-4, thereby providing a sustainable solution for managing organic waste and increasing soil fertility.

Abstract

In the dynamic environment of Indonesian universities, students, particularly those in the medical field, face a crucial juncture of personal growth amid academic rigor. This transition from youth to adulthood brings with it not only academic challenges but also psychological hurdles, notably anxiety. While anxiety is a common human experience, it can impede a student's ability to thrive. However, within the context of Indonesian culture, prayer serves as a powerful tool for mental well-being. Studies have indicated its potential to alleviate anxiety and foster a sense of calmness. Thus, this research endeavors to explore the relationship between prayer intensity and anxiety levels among the 2021 cohort of medical students at the Muslim University of Indonesia, shedding light on the intersection of spirituality and mental health in academic settings. The study revealed that the majority of the 2021 cohort of medical students at Muslim University of Indonesia are 21 years old (54.8%), predominantly female (76.7%), with most exhibiting good prayer intensity (49.3%) and normal anxiety levels (74%). Additionally, Chi-Square analysis indicated a significant relationship between prayer intensity and anxiety levels among these students (p = 0.005<0.05). The study findings indicate that the sampled 2021 medical students at Muslim University of Indonesia exhibit good prayer intensity and normal anxiety levels. Moreover, there's a significant relationship between prayer intensity and anxiety levels among these students.

Abstract

Hypertension is a serious disease that causes serious complications such as stroke, local myocardial necrosis, cardiovascular disorders, and kidney failure. Hypertension is often nicknamed the "Silent Killer" because it has no side effects. Information from the World Wellbeing Association (WHO) in 2015 shows that this figure will increase to 1.5 billion cases in 2025. The 2018 Fundamental Welfare Exploration (Riskesdas) in Indonesia revealed that the prevalence of hypertension in the population aged over 18 years was 658,201 cases. Moderate muscle relaxation exercises are a non-pharmacological measure that can help lower blood pressure. It is hoped that this examination will determine the relationship between muscle relaxation and reduced blood pressure in essential hypertension patients at the Sudiang Raya Makassar Community Welfare Center. The technique used is One Gathering Pretest-Posttest Plan. Information is dissected using the T test Suitable for evaluating differences in blood pressure during testing. The results of the review showed a significant reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure after moderate muscle release treatment, with a p value of 0.000 (p<0.05). Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were reduced by 9.31 mmHg and 4.76 mmHg respectively. There is an effect of mild muscle relaxation treatment on reducing blood pressure in essential hypertension patients at the Sudiang Raya Makassar Community Welfare Center.
