Abstract

Pregnant woman looks forward to the moment she gives birth in order to experience the joy she longs for. if the baby, placenta, and amniotic membranes leave the mother's uterus at term (after 37 weeks) without complications, the process is considered normal. At TPMB Siti Hapsah, S.Tr.Keb in 2024, the purpose of this study is to determine whether lavender aromatherapy reduces pain intensity during the active phase of first stage labor. The Quasy Experiment research method is used in this quantitative research design. This study used a one-group pretest-posttest design with 32 respondents. The Wilcoxon test was used to analyze the observation sheet data. Lavender aromatherapy was found to be effective at reducing pain intensity during the active phase of first stage labor at TPMB Siti Hapsah, s.Tr.Keb in 2024 because the obtained result had a significance value of 0.000, which was lower than the significance result of 5% (p-value = 0.000  0.05). During the initial active phase of labor, lavender aromatherapy is recommended for use as a complementary therapy.

Abstract

Due to their high mortality and morbidity rates, E. coli infections are a serious issue. Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is a result of this indiscriminate antibiotic use. One approach to address this issue is to utilize natural antimicrobials such as Sumbawa white honey. Sumbawa white honey contains antibacterial components like glucose and fructose (80%), water (17%), polyphenols, and hydrogen peroxide. This study aimed to analyze the antibacterial activity of white honey from Sumbawa against E. coli ATCC 25922. The research method employed was a laboratory experiment using a post test only control group design. Antibacterial testing was conducted using disc diffusion at concentrations of 25%, 75%, and 100%, with chloramphenicol as positive control and DMSO as negative control, and honey processing involved dilution. Antibacterial tests were repeated five times  and antibacterial activity was observed based on the diameter of inhibition zones around the disc. The outcomes showed that there was a restraint zone at 100 percent grouping of honey, to be specific 0.90 mm, while at 25% and 75% fixations there were no hindrance zones. According to the findings of this study, white honey from Sumbawa has a low antibacterial activity (0.90 mm), but this activity is ineffective against E. coli ATCC 25922. Further identification of the chemical components in Sumbawa white honey that are primarily responsible its antibacterial effect.

Abstract

Grower phase layers are chickens aged 5 to 12 weeks. This study aims to determine the effect of papaya leaf meal addition on the performance of laying hens in the grower phase using 72 laying hens aged 7 to 10 weeks. This study is an experimental study using a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 3 replications. Data were analyzed using Anova Analysis of Variance (CRD) one-way pattern with the help of SPSS Version 16. Weight Gain and Feed Conversion were unaffected by the addition of papaya leaf flour to its feed up to a concentration of 3%, according to the findings. The weight gain of laying hens during the enlargement phase was unaffected by the addition of papaya leaf flour up to 3%. The expansion of papaya leaf flour to the feed of laying hens in the producer stage on feed transformation was not altogether unique or the equivalent. The conclusion is that the feed consumption of laying hens in the grower phase can be influenced by the addition of papaya leaf flour in its feed up to a concentration of 3%, but did not affect Weight Gain or Feed Conversion.

Abstract

The utilization of local feedstuffs is a cost-effective strategy to reduce production expenses in animal husbandry. Enhancing the nutritional quality of these feedstuffs through fermentation presents a viable approach. This study investigates the efficacy of cellulolytic bacteria in degrading fiber in three local feed materials: duckweed (Lemna minor), water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes), and lamtoro (Leucaena leucocephala). We employed a completely randomized block design with feed types as the block and levels of starter culture as treatment. Pediococcus pentosaceus, identified for its cellulase enzyme production with a clear zone of 4 cm on starch media, was utilized as the starter culture. The experimental procedure involved spraying Pediococcus pentosaceus onto duckweed, water hyacinth, and lamtoro, followed by incubation. The results indicated that Pediococcus pentosaceus effectively produced cellulolytic enzymes and significantly reduced crude fiber in duckweed by 18.18%, in water hyacinth by 9.17%, and in lamtoro by 4.23% (p < 0.05). Additionally, the crude protein content increased in all samples: by 4.69% in duckweed, 2.71% in water hyacinth, and 2.13% in lamtoro (p < 0.05). Among the treatments, the optimal outcome was achieved with 3 ml of Pediococcus pentosaceus. This study demonstrates the potential of Pediococcus pentosaceus for improving the nutritional profile of local feedstuffs through fermentation.

Abstract

This research examines the potential of andaliman fruit (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium) as an antibacterial agent. Andaliman fruit is known to contain bioactive compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids and saponins which have the potential to inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria. The antibacterial activity test was carried out using the agar diffusion method against several test bacteria, including Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The results showed that andaliman fruit extract had significant antibacterial activity, indicated by the inhibition zone formed around the extract impregnation disc. The highest activity was noted against Staphylococcus aureus, which is a gram-positive bacterium. These findings indicate that andaliman fruit has the potential to be developed as an effective natural antibacterial agent. Further research is needed to identify the specific active compound and its antibacterial mechanism of action.

Abstract

Climate change caused by increasing greenhouse gas emissions, especially CO2, and deforestation, is an urgent global issue. The REDD+ program initiated by the UN aims to reduce carbon emissions and increase carbon storage in forests. One of the forests that can reserve carbon is the karst area with the ability to reserve carbon dioxide (CO2). This study aims to determine the potential carbon content and carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration. This study was conducted using the chip sampling method and the XRF (X-ray Fluorescence) method analysis. Based on the research results, it is known that the Silokek Geopark karst area has three different limestone rock characteristics, and sample 3 is the type of rock with the highest CaO percentage. The potential inorganic carbon content is 4,908.07 tons/ha and carbon absorption is 18,012.60 tons/ha, categorized as high. The inorganic carbon content in the Silokek Geopark area is lower than the Biduk-biduk Karst area which is influenced by the area volume area and type of rock composition.
