Abstract

The increasing need for green fodder as animal feed continues to increase, especially in the face of limited land and weather changes, this encourages farmers to continue to innovate in an effort to meet the need for green fodder for livestock. Wheat (Triticum spp.) is a potential plant for green fodder because it grows quickly and has high nutritional content. The hydroponic fodder system is one method of plant cultivation that uses water rich in nutrients as a substitute for soil. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of different defoliation ages on hydroponic wheat fodder green fodder production and nutrient content (dry matter, organic matter, and ash). The design used in the study was a Completely Randomized Design with 3 treatments, each treatment repeated 4 times. The treatments were P1: defoliation at 6 days; P2: defoliation at 8 days and P3: defoliation at 10 days. The variables observed included fresh weight, dry matter content, organic matter, and ash content of hydroponic wheat fodder green fodder. The results of the study showed that the highest fresh weight was achieved in P3 (118.75 ± 3.8 grams), then P2 (104.50 ± 6.1 grams) and P1 (77.50 ± 5 grams). The highest dry matter content was achieved in treatment P1 (33.84 ± 4.99 grams), followed by P2 (27.16 ± 2.9 grams) and the lowest in treatment P3 (23.33 ± 0.7 grams). The lowest ash content was in P1 (1.76 ± 0.39 grams) while the highest organic matter content was in treatment P1 (98.24 ± 0.39 grams). This research can be concluded that the difference in defoliation age between 6 - 10 days has a significant effect on the production and content of dry matter, organic matter and ash of hydroponic fodder.

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability globally, with 50 million cases annually and increasing emergency department visits. Despite advances in management, such as decompressive craniotomy and hypothermia, severe TBI still leads to poor outcomes in about 50% of patients, emphasizing the limited effectiveness of conventional therapies. This has led to the development of neurorestorative approaches to enhance brain function and recovery after injury. Literature was sourced from Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and PubMed, with studies from 2015–2025, in English or Indonesian, and involving human or animal subjects. Neurorestorative strategies include cellular therapies (e.g., mesenchymal stem cells), neurostimulation (invasive and non-invasive methods), pharmacological interventions (e.g., erythropoietin and statins), and supportive therapies (e.g., hyperbaric oxygen). Cellular therapy shows promise in promoting neurogenesis and recovery, though large-scale trials are needed. Neurostimulation has been shown to improve consciousness and neurological function in patients with chronic consciousness disorders, while pharmacological and supportive treatments present mixed results and require more research. Neurorestorative therapies offer hope for TBI recovery, but study limitations, including design and sample size, prevent generalization. Further research and large-scale randomized clinical trials are necessary to ensure safety, effectiveness, and optimal integration of neurorestorative modalities.

Abstract

Aloe vera is a tropical plant with significant potential to develop into a promising agricultural sector in Indonesia. To achieve high-quality Aloe vera harvests, it is important to pay attention to several growth conditions, especially plant care such as fertilization. This study aims to determine the effect of Photosynthetic Bacteria (PSB) fertilizer application and the effective dosage of PSB fertilizer for the growth of Aloe vera using vertical farming techniques. This research used a Non-Factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD), with treatment factors including: no application of PSB fertilizer (P0), PSB 5 ml/l (P1), PSB 15 ml/l (P2), and PSB 30 ml/l (P3). The research involved several stages of observation, including plant height, number of leaves, leaf width, leaf thickness, and root volume. The observed data were analyzed using ANOVA with the help of SPSS 26. If the ANOVA test showed a significant effect, further analysis was carried out using Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The results showed that the application of PSB fertilizer had an effect on plant height (22.8 cm), leaf width (2.76 cm), number of leaves (7 leaves), leaf thickness (8.91 cm), and root volume (4 cm³). The best average treatment result for Aloe vera growth was obtained at a dosage of 15 ml/l (P2), indicating that Photosynthetic Bacteria (PSB) fertilizer at a dosage of 15 ml/l (P2) was sufficient to supply the necessary nutrients for the growth of Aloe vera.

Abstract

This study explores the social interaction behaviors of domestic pigeons (Columba livia domestica) during the matchmaking period. The aim is to understand how multi-channel communication through body movements, vocalizations, and tactile contact affects the formation of pair bonds. This research employed an observational method at the Green House of Universitas Veteran Bangun Nusantara using the ad libitum sampling technique to record daily behaviors of pigeons kept in a confined space. The results revealed that male pigeons predominantly initiate interactions, while females exhibit selective responses that determine mating success. Characteristic behaviors such as bowing, cooing, billing, and allopreening were observed to follow a sequential pattern from orientation and approach to attraction and acceptance. These findings suggest that the intensity and consistency of social interactions significantly contribute to successful pair bonding in domestic pigeons. Future research may investigate hormonal or neurological aspects that underlie these social behaviors.

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, mainly due to blood vessel blockage caused by thrombus. Fibrinolytic enzymes are used to dissolve thrombus but are often limited by high production costs, low specificity, allergic reactions, and bleeding risks. As a safer alternative, bacteria from fermented foods offer several advantages, including low toxicity, cost-effective production, and high fibrin specificity, which reduces the risk of bleeding. This study investigated the potential and characteristics of fibrinolytic enzyme activity produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from tempeh. The fibrin plate method was used to identify LAB producing the enzyme, while enzyme activity was measured using the method of Varol et al. (2023), and protein concentration was analyzed using a modified Bradford test. Thirteen LAB isolates showed fibrinolytic activity, with isolate PG01-2B selected as the most promising. The highest enzyme production occurred on the second day, reaching 83.41 U/mL. Characterization showed activity with acetic acid buffer pH 6 (102.18 U/mL) and at 75 minutes incubation time (99 U/mL). These results indicate that LAB from tempeh has strong potential as a source of fibrinolytic enzymes and can function as an alternative therapeutic agent for thrombus-related cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract

The mangrove canopy cover is the uppermost layer in the mangrove vegetation group, which is formed by the crown (leaf group) of mangrove vegetation and covers the layer below. The purpose of the study is to determine the estimation of mangrove canopy cover in the Carocok area using the MonMang v2.0 application and to determine the influence of environmental factors on the mangrove canopy cover in the Carocok area. This research was conducted from December 2023 to January 2024 in the Carocok Tarusan tourist area, Pesisir Selatan Regency, West Sumatra.The method used in this study is the transect line method with the placement of transects carried out from the coastline to the land that has true mangrove vegetation. In the transect line, 20 plots were mapped with a size of 5 x 5 m. Then, the crown cover was measured using the MonMang v2.0 application using the hemispherical photography method on each plot. The results of the study show that the average mangrove canopy cover in this Carocok area is 69.19% and is classified as a medium category. The results of the study also showed that environmental factors between salinity, temperature, and pH had an influence on the mangrove canopy cover in the Carocok Tarusan area.

Abstract

Coastal ecosystems, such as the seagrass meadows at Samuh Beach, Bali, are vulnerable to anthropogenic pressures from high-intensity tourism. This degradation necessitates effective monitoring tools, and gastropod communities are potential bioindicators due to their sensitivity to environmental change. The objective of this study was to evaluate the gastropod community structure as a bioindicator of water quality within this ecosystem. The study was conducted from November to December 2024 at two stations representing different levels of human activity, using line transects and quadrat sampling. A total of 10 gastropod species were recorded. The community structure was characterized by low species diversity (H' = 1.25), moderate evenness (E = 0.52), and low dominance (C = 0.35). In contrast, all measured water quality parameters were found to be within optimal ranges for marine biota. The dissonance between the low biodiversity and favorable water chemistry suggests that the gastropod community is responding to unmeasured stressors, likely physical disturbances or specific pollutants associated with tourism. This study validates the efficacy of using gastropod assemblages as sensitive bioindicators of ecosystem health, capable of detecting impacts that standard water quality tests may miss. Continuous monitoring is recommended to safeguard the area.
