Abstract

The diversity of plants in a conservation area or forest is important data that can be used as a recommendation in efforts to maintain ecosystem balance, especially in herbaceous and shrubby plants that are rarely studied so that access to plant data is very limited. For this reason, this study aims to identify herbaceous and shrubby plants in the Lemor Botanical Garden Forest Area, East Lombok. This study is a qualitative descriptive study with cruise methods by tracing the exploration route. The findings show that in the area, 21 species from 19 families of herbaceous and shrubby plants were identified. In detail, 13 species from 11 families of herbaceous plants were found with the majority of species having upright, creeping, and epiphytic habitus and 8 species from 8 families of shrubby plants were found, the majority of which had upright habitus. The existence of various herbaceous and shrubby plants plays an important role in maintaining ecosystem stability so that stricter conservation efforts are needed by related institutions to maintain the diversity of existing species.

Abstract

Mangifera foetida, commonly referred to as bacang, is a tropical fruit tree of the Anacardiaceae family widely used in traditional medicine throughout Southeast Asia for a variety of therapeutic purposes. Recent scientific studies have validated many of these ethnomedicinal uses by uncovering a diverse phytochemical composition alongside notable pharmacological activities. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the nutritional content, bioactive compounds, and pharmacological effects of M. foetida, with particular focus on its antioxidant, antimicrobial, cytotoxic, antidiabetic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Key secondary metabolites, including mangiferin, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and essential oils, are believed to underpin its therapeutic efficacy. Moreover, the fruit and other plant parts provide considerable nutritional benefits, supplying essential vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. Despite these promising findings, further investigations are needed to clarify underlying mechanisms, improve extraction techniques, and evaluate clinical effectiveness. This review seeks to establish a comprehensive reference to support future research and facilitate the development of M. foetida-derived nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals.

Abstract

The mangrove forest in Cendi Manik Village, West Lombok Regency, consists of both natural and rehabilitated areas, the latter of which has been developed into the Bagek Kembar Mangrove Ecotourism site. While the growth of ecotourism has increased public and governmental attention toward the rehabilitated zone, concern for the natural mangrove forest has declined. This study aims to identify mangrove species composition and analyze vegetation density and diversity in the Cendi Manik mangrove area. The research was conducted from February to March 2024 using vegetation analysis methods across 15 plots distributed along three transects. The results identified six main mangrove species: Avicennia marina, A. alba, Rhizophora apiculata, R. mucronata, R. stylosa, and Sonneratia alba, with Rhizophora mucronata being the most dominant species, having the highest tree density of 440 individuals/ha. The total tree density reached 1,373.34 individuals/ha, which is categorized as dense according to Indonesian Ministry of Environment Regulation No. 201/2004. The species diversity index (H’) ranged from 1.54 to 1.61, indicating moderate to high diversity levels. The dominance of muddy substrates in the area supports the optimal growth of Rhizophora species. These findings highlight the ecological importance of conserving the remaining natural mangrove forests in Cendi Manik Village, given their vital role in coastal protection, carbon storage, and habitat provision for coastal biota. This research serves as a foundation for more comprehensive and sustainable conservation strategies in the region.

Abstract

Acrochordon or known as skin tag is a benign growth on the skin that is usually small and soft. However, in some rare cases, the size of acrochordon can enlarge significantly and is called large acrochordon. One case of giant acrochordon was reported in a 23-year-old woman at the dermatovenereology polyclinic of a hospital in Makassar. The diagnosis was made based on clinical features, histopathological examination. The results of the examination of this case from the anamnesis results obtained complaints of a lump that was initially small 6 years ago and then left to grow in number and enlarge. The results of the physical examination found 1 large soft mass with a stalk. The patient was treated with excision biopsy of the lesion and clinical improvement. Supporting examinations include histopathological biopsy examinations. This patient was treated with oral and topical antibiotics and analgesics after an excision biopsy and control after 7 days post-excision. Control day 7 excision wound is not perfectly dry and closed this is caused by damp and closed, the groin/inguinal area is often covered by clothing and sweats easily, creating a humid environment that is not ideal for wound healing. Control day 14, the wound dries and the overall aff hecting in this case 3 stitches, the pain is decreasing.

Abstract

Dermatophytes, which are fungi that grow on keratin, are the cause of tinea corporis, a superficial fungal infection of the skin of the body (apart from the scalp, face, and groin). At the dermatovenereology polyclinic of a Makassar hospital, a 19-year-old teen was diagnosed with tinea corporis. The diagnosis was made based on clinical features, direct microscopic examination (10% KOH). Long, branched hyphae with some hyphae starting to separate. The patient was treated with topical terbinafine and clinical and mycological improvement. Therapy was continued with topical terbinafine for a month. Terbinafine is a fungicidal antifungal drug that works by inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis. Patients treated topically were given topical terbinafine applied twice a day. Without ergosterol, the fungal cell membrane is damaged and cell function is disrupted, causing fungal death. Terbinafine is the first line for tinea corporis and cruris, because it is more effective and has a shorter treatment duration than ketoconazole or other azoles. The results of this case examination after 14 days of treatment showed improvement, negative KOH results, clinical symptoms such as itching were greatly reduced and topical medication was continued. The patient was asked to come for a check-up, treatment continued until the lesions on the back disappeared.

Abstract

Malaria parasite examination is conducted by analyzing the blood of individuals suspected of having malaria, either through a rapid method using Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDT) or through microscopic examination. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of RDT as a fast and practical alternative for malaria diagnosis. An analytical observational design was used, involving 73 patients as respondents. Data collection was carried out through questionnaires and venous blood sampling, followed by RDT testing and microscopic examination. The results showed that RDT had a sensitivity of 81.8% and a specificity of 100%. The study concluded that although RDT is fairly reliable in detecting positive cases (true positives), there are still some undetected cases (false negatives), particularly among individuals with low levels of parasites in their blood (low parasitemia).

Abstract

Community timber plantation has an essential role as a source for the wood industry. One of the community timber plantations is located in Cibugel, Sumedang Regency, West Java. Lots of Gmelina arborea are planted in this community timber plantation because it does not need specific care and have a short cutting time. However, planting Gmelina in a community timber plantation leads to insect attacks on trees from different age groups, which could decrease wood production. Sustainable insect pest control efforts can be carried out by first understanding the structure of insect communities at different plant ages. Therefore, a study was conducted to compare the diversity of insect communities in plant age groups of 2, 4, and 15 years using the pitfall trap and sticky trap methods, supported by the hand searching method and microclimate data collection. In addition, plant damage caused by insects was also determined by analyzing the absolute and relative damage intensity. The results show that the dominant insect community in Gmelina age groups 2 and 15 years is Formicidae, which are generally classified as predators. Meanwhile, in the 4-year age group, the insect community was dominated by insects classified as herbivores, pests of G. arborea plants. These results align with the highest level of plant damage, namely in the 4-year age group.

Abstract

The existence of local herbal plants that are rich in ethnobotanical properties should be a strong foundation in the development of public health based on local wisdom and the modern herbal industry. However, in reality, many types of plants with high efficacy have not been well documented, and the practice of using them is still hereditary without a deep scientific approach. This study aims to document and analyze the use of traditional medicinal plants in Brongsongan Hamlet, Sukoharjo. This study is a qualitative descriptive study with an ethnobotanical approach. A total of eleven types of medicinal plants that are still used by the local community were identified, including Moringa oleifera (moringa leaves), Amomum compactum (Javanese cardamom), Kaempferia galanga (galangal), Piper betle L. (betel leaf), Andrographis paniculata (sampiloto), Piper sarmentosum (karuk), Cymbopogon citratus (lemongrass), Curcuma longa (turmeric), Ambrosia trifida (insulin leaves), Carica papaya folium (papaya leaves), and Morinda citrifolia (mengkudu). The local community uses these plants as part of traditional medicine and for daily health maintenance. This study recommends more systematic documentation, community education, and the use of digital technology to support the preservation and sustainable use of medicinal plants.

Abstract

Blood clam shells are inorganic materials rich in  content obtained from heating  at high temperatures, so they can be used as adsorbent. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of calcination temperature of blood clam shell adsorbents, used to test the quality of used cooking oil (wosting oil). In this study, three calcination temperature variations were used, namely 800 ℃, 900 ℃ and 1000 ℃ for 2 hours each. Then the quality of adsorbent was tested by knowing oxide element with SEM. The adsorption process was carried out using the contact method by immersing the adsorbent in wosting oil for one hour. Wosting oil that has been adsorbed is then tested for quality, namely: free fatty acid content, peroxide number, water content, viscosity, density, physical properties (odor and color). The results obtained are: The best quality of  adsorbent was obtained at a calcination temperature of 1000 ℃ which was analyzed through three parameters namely,  content, density value and surface area. The best quality of wosting oil is obtained in used cooking oil with 3 times heating with calcined adsorbent at 1000 ℃ which is analyzed based on several parameters as previously explained.

Abstract

The donkey ear taro plant (Alocasia polly) is an ornamental Araceae family plant with broad leaves capable of absorbing air pollutants. This research examined the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of A. polly leaves for botanical identification and pharmaceutical potential assessment. The research methods included sample preparation and macroscopic, organoleptic, and microscopic observations of fresh leaves and leaf powder. Macroscopic observations revealed shield-shaped leaves (peltatus) with pointed tips (acuminatus), ear-like lobed base (auriculatus), smooth glossy surface (nitidus), dark green upper surface, purplish lower surface, pinnate venation (penninervis), and wavy margins (repandus). The leaves averaged 33 cm in length and 16.5 cm in width. Organoleptic examination showed fresh leaves with dark green upper surfaces and purplish-brown lower surfaces, characteristic leaf aroma, and tasteless properties. The leaf powder exhibited similar dark green coloration, characteristic aroma, and tasteless qualities. Microscopic analysis of both fresh leaves and powder revealed epidermal cell structures, spiral-type vascular bundles, anomocytic stomata, multicellular and unicellular trichomes, and calcium oxalate crystals. These findings provide fundamental botanical identification data for A. polly leaves. Further research is recommended, including non-specific parameter testing and phytochemical screening, to explore the plant's pharmacological potential more comprehensively.
