Abstract

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a type of multipotent stem cells that can be found in various tissues of the body, possessing good regenerative qualities and promising immunomodulatory abilities for therapy in various medical conditions. MSCs can be obtained from bone marrow, umbilical cord, adipose tissue, and Warthon's jelly. This study aims to present a systematic review of the use of mesenchymal stem cells in disease therapy, by evaluating the latest evidence regarding their efficacy and safety in various therapies. This review uses literature review methods from international data bases such as PubMed and Google Scholar. The total number of articles obtained from the database was 49 articles. These articles were then filtered using inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in 22 articles for this systematic review. The research findings indicate that MSCs therapy has been used for the treatment of liver fibrosis, diabetes mellitus, spinal cord injury, and COVID-19. In MSCs therapy, mechanisms involved paracrine effects (MSCs produce cytokines, growth factors, and other proteins); immunomodulation (MSCs can suppress immune cell activation, inhibit lymphocyte proliferation, modulate natural killer T cell activation, and produce anti-inflammatory factors); angiogenesis (MSCs are capable of stimulating the growth of new blood vessels through secretion of VEGF and FGF); cellular differentiation; and anti-fibrotic effects. This is what makes MSCs potentially promising as an evolving alternative treatment.

Abstract

Human activity along the river impacts the aquatic environment from biotic and abiotic factors. One indicator that can reflect   the quality of the waters is fish diversity. Several studies have used fish diversity as a biological indicator to determine the quality of waters, such as lake  and river waters. The purpose of this study was to determine the diversity of fish and also to determine the quality of water in the Cikapundung River, Bandung City. The method used in this study was a survey and exploration method, which involved collecting samples at five stations using umbrella traps, cast nets, and fishing gear in the morning and evening. The fish obtained were identified using the Fish Identification Guidebook, and the number of each type was calculated. The biotic data obtained were processed using the Shannon-Weiner diversity index (H'), Evenness index (E), Margalef Abundance index (Dmg), and Simpson Dominance index (C). In contrast, the abiotic data were sent to the water quality testing institution (LPKL). The study's results identified seven species from 5 families: Cyprinus sp., Ancistrus sp., Xiphophorus sp., Barbodes sp. According to the Shannon-Weiner index, the diversity of fish species in the Cikapundung River in Bandung City is relatively moderate, with a value (H') of 1.55. The results of water quality measurements of the Cikapundung River from LPKL based on the class II water quality standards of PP RI Number 22 of 2021 show that the condition of the river is in the moderately polluted category.

Abstract

Ecoprint is a term that comes from the words "eko", which means "ecosystem/nature", and "print", which means "print." The ecoprint printing method uses natural dyes to print flowers, twigs and leaves on fabric. This method begins by attaching mangrove leaves to cloth, then printing the leaves and stems on the cloth. The problems faced by community groups are the lack of public knowledge about the benefits of mangroves as a business opportunity, the lack of public knowledge about techniques for making mangrove leaf ecoprints. Mitra only knows that mangrove forests function to protect beaches from waves and the wood is used as firewood. Meanwhile, the use of mangroves as dyes for ecoprint products as tourist souvenir products and increasing business opportunities for the community is not yet known. The objectives of the PKM activity are: partners can find out about the benefits of mangroves as a business opportunity, apply appropriate technology in techniques for making ecoprints on mangrove leaves and obtain types of quality ecoprint product motifs that have high selling value. The training activity for making ecoprints by utilizing the potential of mangrove forest resources around the Ngusanlenge mangrove tourist attraction area went smoothly with high participant enthusiasm. Enthusiasm for the results of ecoprint products with a variety of patterns and motifs from the mangrove leaves used. PKM activities increase knowledge and improve the skills of the community and students in making ecoprints by utilizing the potential of mangrove forests and building community enthusiasm for entrepreneurship. The ecoprint products produced include bags, tablecloths, handkerchiefs and headscarves.

Abstract

Shallots (Allium ascalonicum L.) are a highly popular plant both as a culinary spice and herbal medicine. Due to their economic benefits, many farmers cultivate them. Saruran Hamlet, located in Anggareja District, Enrekang Regency, is one of the areas where shallots are intensively cultivated. Farmers face a significant problem with high pest infestation rates. To manage this, chemical pest control using insecticides is employed. However, insecticides are toxic and increasingly expensive. To reduce pesticide use, pest control using light traps was implemented through the "electricity to the fields" program by the local PLN. The use of light traps is suspected to have a negative impact on the balance of biotic ecosystem components, thus necessitating a study on this matter. Therefore, the aim of this study is to inventory and analyze the diversity of insect species in shallot cultivation areas in Saruran Hamlet, Enrekang Regency. This research employed a survey method by collecting insects trapped in farmers' light traps. The identification and counting of insect species were conducted in the FMIPA UNM Laboratory. Based on the collected data, the Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H’) was analyzed. The results showed that the total number of trapped insect individuals was 1,332, consisting of 27 species from 8 orders. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H’) was found to be 2.20, which falls into the moderate category.

Abstract

Fires on palm oil plantations always occur in Indonesia, although they have decreased from 2015 to 2020. This happens because fires are a fast and easy way to clear and clear land. Fires in palm oil plantations can damage the environment and wildlife.  Knowing the impact on the environment and animals, this article searches for and collects the results of previous research using traditional literature review methods. The literature review results show that oil palm was initially an ornamental plant brought from Africa, then cultivated in the Bogor Botanical Gardens. Successful cultivation is then developed into plantation crops that have the potential to be widely cultivated in Indonesia. This causes an increase in the need for land to cultivate these plants. This increase in land demand causes fires to occur in Indonesia which impacts the release of carbon and wildlife. Carbon released from vegetation fires causes air pollution which results in environmental damage. These fires can also harm wildlife due to loss of habitat and food sources. To reduce the impact of fires, recommendations are given to increase CPO production without having to open new land, which can potentially increase forest and land fires. The recommended method is a partnership with oil palm farmers. This can meet CPO production needs for local and international markets without having to open new concessions. This method can also be used as an alternative to help oil palm farmers manage crops and improve the community's economy.
