Abstract

Moringa (Moringa oleifera) is a nutritionally rich multipurpose plant that is locally cultivated on Poteran Island, Sumenep Regency, where community members in Essang Village traditionally distinguish moringa plants based on petiole color. Based on this local classification, this study aimed to assess the phenotypic diversity and kinship relationships among moringa plants in Essang Village through morphological characterization. Sampling was conducted randomly on ten individual plants, and observed characters included petiole color, leaf apex shape, leaf margin, leaf surface color, stem color, and vegetative organ dimensions. Morphological data were analyzed using MVSP software to generate a dendrogram illustrating kinship relationships. The identification results revealed four petiole-based color groups—white, green, purple, and red—with distinct morphological patterns. Cluster analysis indicated a close kinship relationship between the white and green groups, while the purple and red groups formed a separate cluster. Key distinguishing traits among the groups included petiole color, leaf apex shape, and leaf margin characteristics. Overall, this study demonstrates the presence of local-level phenotypic diversity in M. oleifera populations, providing valuable baseline information for taxonomic studies and supporting local germplasm conservation and sustainable utilization efforts.

Abstract

Global climate change demands concrete commitment from every country to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Indonesia established Enhanced Nationally Determined Contribution with emission reduction targets of 31.89% unconditionally and 43.20% conditionally by 2030, with Forest and Other Land Use sector as key to achieving Net Sink 2030. Social Forestry program plays strategic role but faces complex challenges related to community capacity, institutional coordination, and regulatory alignment. This study analyzes position and contribution of Social Forestry toward Enhanced Nationally Determined Contribution achievement using Systematic Literature Review of 25 publications from 2020-2025. Secondary data from policy documents and official reports were analyzed using DPSIR Framework approach. Results show Social Forestry program until 2024 covers 8.02 million hectares of 12.7 million hectares target with carbon stock reaching 110.5 million tons CO2eq and potential contribution of 34.6% toward forestry sector emission reduction target. Program successfully reduced deforestation rate to lowest level in 20 years at 115,459 hectares in 2019-2020. Main challenges include limited community capacity, excessive administrative burden, weak coordination, and regulatory misalignment. Optimization requires capacity strengthening, procedure simplification, effective coordination, regulatory synchronization, and integration with carbon economic value schemes to achieve Forest and Other Land Use Net Sink 2030.

Abstract

Fungal community composition and abundance in river ecosystems are highly responsive to hydrological processes, terrestrial runoff, and anthropogenic pressures, making riverine fungi a sensitive biological indicator of water quality and overall ecological condition. This study employed Oxford Nanopore-based shotgun metagenomics to characterize fungal communities from two segments in Cikapundung River, Indonesia, differing in human impact. Water samples were vacuum-filtered, DNA was extracted and sequenced, and taxonomic profiles were generated. Results revealed that both sites were dominated by plant-associated Ascomycota, particularly several Pyricularia species, indicating strong terrestrial-aquatic connectivity driven by riparian plants and terrestrial plant debris entering the river. Cikapundung B site exhibited higher fungal abundance and diversity than Cikapundung A site, while Bray-Curtis PCoA showed clear compositional separation between sites, reflecting spatial ecological stress. Although a considerable proportion of reads remained unclassified due to limited fungal reference genomes, dominant taxa provided ecologically meaningful insights. These findings demonstrate that fungal environmental DNA could indicate environmental conditions in tropical urban rivers and highlight the potential and limitation of metagenomic approaches for river health monitoring and watershed management.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a priority health problem in Indonesia, with West Nusa Tenggara Province reporting 11,061 cases in 2023, most of which originated from Lombok Island. TB treatment success rates in this region remain below national targets, necessitating effective interprofessional collaboration between physicians and pharmacists as key players in therapy management. This study aims to describe the interprofessional collaboration between pharmacists and physicians in TB patient management at community health centers (Puskesmas) across Lombok Island. The study used a quantitative descriptive method involving 54 pharmacists selected through purposive sampling. The instrument used was the Pharmacist–Physician Collaborative Index (PPCI), which assesses three main domains: trust, initiating relationships, and role specification, as well as one additional domain: collaborative practice. Analysis was conducted descriptively based on the categorization scores for each domain. The results showed that the level of collaboration was in the moderate category. The trust domain was in the moderate category, the initiating relationship was in the moderate category, and the role specification was in the adequate category. Overall, collaborative practices were deemed quite effective. These results indicate that although collaboration has been established, improvements in communication, role clarity, and consistent information exchange are still needed to support optimal TB management in community health centers.

Abstract

Spodoptera litura, known as the tobacco cutworm or oriental leafworm moth, is a highly destructive, polyphagous pest that attacks over 250 crops, causing significant damage to leaves and making it a serious threat across Asia, Oceania, and Africa. To control the population of this species, the use of insecticides of plant origin is worth considering.  Pluchea indica is a species known to contain secondary metabolites with insecticide properties. This study aimed to determine the effect of ethanol extract of indian camphorweed (Pluchea indica) leaves on rd3 instar larva Spodoptera litura mortality. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 6 concentrations of indian camphorweed (Pluchea indica) leaves ethanol extract, namely, 0, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450 and 500 ppm. Each treatment used 7 larvae with 5 repetitions. The mortality of larvae was observed for a 24-hour period by counting the number of nd2 instar larvae that died after having been treated.  All data collected were analyzed with One-Way ANOVA. Statistical analysis showed that the ethanol extract of beluntas leaves significantly increases the nd2 instar larvae of S. litura mortality by 60.0% at a concentration of 500 ppm.

Abstract

The increasing number of elderly individuals in Indonesia each year is accompanied by a higher prevalence of degenerative diseases, including hypercholesterolemia. However, with advancing age, elderly individuals tend to experience a decline in functional capacity, leading to reduced physical activity. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between physical activity intensity and total cholesterol levels among elderly residents at the Kupang Elderly Social Welfare Technical Implementation Unit (UPTD) in 2025. This analytical study employed a cross-sectional design involving elderly residents of the Kupang Elderly Social Welfare UPTD. Data were examined through both univariate and bivariate analyses employing the Chi-square test with a significance threshold of p < 0.05. A majority of the respondents fell into the young elderly category (60–69 years) and were mostly women. The findings revealed that the greater part of older participants showed low intensity in physical activity while having elevated total cholesterol levels. The Chi-square analysis demonstrated a meaningful connection between the intensity of physical activity and total cholesterol levels (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that a decrease in physical activity intensity correlates with an increase in total cholesterol levels among seniors. A noteworthy relationship exists between physical activity intensity and total cholesterol levels in elderly individuals at Kupang Elderly Social Welfare UPTD. Regular and appropriately tailored physical activity serves as an important strategy to maintain lipid metabolism balance and prevent cardiovascular disease risks in the elderly population.

Abstract

The increasing number of elderly individuals in Indonesia has led to a higher prevalence of degenerative diseases, including hyperuricemia. Elevated uric acid levels are often associated with a sedentary lifestyle and low physical activity. Elderly individuals living in social institutions tend to have uniform activity patterns and limited mobility, which may increase their risk of developing elevated uric acid levels. To analyze the relationship between physical activity intensity and uric acid levels among elderly residents at the Kupang Elderly Social Welfare Technical Implementation Unit (UPTD). This was an analytical study with a cross-sectional design involving 45 elderly participants selected through purposive sampling. The intensity of physical activity was assessed using the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) questionnaire, while uric acid levels were measured using a Glucose, Cholesterol, and Uric Acid (GCU) Meter Device. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Spearman’s Rho test at a significance level of p < 0.05. Most respondents were aged 60–69 years, and the majority were female. Most elderly participants had low physical activity levels and elevated uric acid levels. The Spearman’s Rho test showed a significant relationship between physical activity intensity and uric acid levels (p < 0.05). There is a significant relationship between physical activity intensity and uric acid levels among elderly individuals at the Kupang Elderly Social Welfare UPTD. Regular physical activity with appropriate intensity according to individual capacity is important to maintain purine metabolism balance and prevent the risk of hyperuricemia.

Abstract

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) commonly occurs in type 1 diabetes due to absolute insulin deficiency, whereas HHS typically develops in type 2 diabetes with relative insulin deficiency. These distinct mechanisms result in different clinical and laboratory profiles. This review aims to compare the pathogenesis, clinical features, and current management of DKA and HHS. This study employed a narrative literature review design. Articles were retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar using the keywords “diabetic ketoacidosis,” “hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state,” “diabetes mellitus,” and “complications,” covering publications from 2015 to 2025. A descriptive analysis was performed to highlight epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and emergency management principles. The review indicates that DKA is more frequent and associated with lower mortality when promptly recognized and treated. In contrast, HHS is less common but carries a higher mortality rate, mainly due to severe dehydration, insidious onset, and delayed diagnosis. Management principles for both conditions are similar, including fluid resuscitation, insulin therapy, electrolyte correction, and treatment of precipitating factors. A comprehensive understanding of the differences between DKA and HHS is essential to support early diagnosis, guide appropriate treatment, and reduce mortality.

Abstract

Fish oil contains polyunsaturated fatty acids, so it is made into an emulsion preparation. The emulsifier used must be able to protect the oil during storage. The purpose of this study was to determine the oxidation parameters of sardine fish oil extracted from the emulsion. The research method was divided into 2 stages, namely oil extraction from the emulsion using the Bligh and Bryer methods; oxidation parameter testing carried out included determining the levels of free fatty acids (FFA), peroxide value (PV), acid value (AV), anisidine value (AnV), and total oxidation (Totoks) based on AOCS 1998. The results showed that the highest FFA value was in formula 3:2 followed by formula 1:2, 1:1, and the lowest was in formula 3:1. The highest PV value was in formula 1:2 followed by formula 1:1, 3:2, and the lowest was in formula 3:1. The highest AV value was in formula 3:2 followed by formula 1:2, 1:1, and the lowest was in formula 3:1. The highest AnV and Totoks values were found in formula 1:2 followed by formula 1:1, 3:2, and the lowest was in formula 3:1. These findings indicate that the oil extracted from formula 3:1 has lower oxidation parameter values than the others. Thus, this study indicates that the oxidation parameters of the oil extracted from the emulsion have not met the IFOS standard, and another emulsifier is needed to protect the oil in the form of an emulsion preparation during storage.
