Abstract

Technological advances have accelerated the development of functional materials for sensing applications. Polyaniline (PANI) is a conductive polymer with attractive electrical properties, but its gas-sensing performance remains limited. This study aimed to synthesize a PANI/ZnO composite and evaluate its structural and electrical characteristics as a potential gas-sensing material. The composite was prepared by interfacial polymerization and characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and electrical conductivity measurements. FTIR and XRD analyses confirmed the successful formation of the PANI/ZnO composite through the presence of characteristic functional groups and crystalline phases of both PANI and ZnO, indicating effective interaction between the two materials. The composite exhibited an electrical conductivity of 1.038 × 10⁻⁵ S/cm, demonstrating semiconducting behavior suitable for sensing applications. The incorporation of ZnO into the PANI matrix is considered to improve the structural characteristics of the composite while maintaining its electrical conductivity. These findings confirm the successful synthesis of the PANI/ZnO composite and indicate its potential as an active material for gas sensor development. Nevertheless, further studies are required to evaluate its gas-sensing performance, including sensitivity, selectivity, response time, and long-term stability under various operating conditions.

Abstract

The successful establishment of sandalwood (Santalum album L.) in the degraded dry savanna of East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, remains limited because young seedlings often fail to adapt to marginal soil conditions and seasonal water scarcity. This study evaluated the effects of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) inoculum (type M1) and different host plant species on the growth of sandalwood seedlings during the nursery stage. The experiment employed a completely randomized split-plot design with two AMF treatments (without AMF and AMF type M1) and four host plant treatments (without host, chili, mung bean, and Leucaena). Growth performance was assessed based on plant height, stem diameter, and leaf number. The results showed that both AMF inoculation and host plant species significantly affected all measured growth parameters. The combination of AMF type M1 and mung bean as the host plant produced the highest growth, with plant height of 14.09 cm, stem diameter of 2.26 mm, and 19.20 leaves per seedling. These findings indicate that the symbiotic association between AMF and an appropriate host plant enhances nutrient and water uptake, thereby supporting seedling growth under nursery conditions. The study demonstrates that integrating AMF type M1 with mung bean as a host plant is a promising strategy to improve sandalwood seedling quality and may contribute to more successful establishment in dryland restoration and reforestation programs.

Abstract

Coffee leaf diseases, particularly coffee leaf rust caused by Hemileia vastatrix, remain one of the major constraints to coffee production in Indonesia and other coffee-producing countries, causing yield losses of up to 50% under severe infection. Synthetic fungicides are still the primary control strategy because of their rapid and reliable disease suppression. This review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of synthetic fungicides in managing coffee leaf diseases, compare the performance of different fungicide groups, and identify recent trends in their application. A literature review was conducted using peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2025 retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The search employed the keywords “coffee leaf rust,” “Hemileia vastatrix,” “synthetic fungicide,” “triazole,” “strobilurin,” and “coffee disease management.” Only English- and Indonesian-language articles reporting fungicide efficacy under field or greenhouse conditions were included. The reviewed studies consistently showed that triazole- and strobilurin-based fungicides were the most effective, generally reducing coffee leaf rust severity by 60–90% when applied at the early stages of infection. However, repeated application of single-mode-of-action fungicides increases the risk of pathogen resistance and environmental contamination. This review highlights the comparative effectiveness of major synthetic fungicide groups and emphasizes that their use should be integrated with resistant cultivars, cultural practices, and fungicide rotation within an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) framework to support sustainable coffee production. Further studies are recommended to optimize fungicide rotation strategies and evaluate environmentally safer alternatives.

Abstract

Avocado is a horticultural crop with considerable phenotypic diversity, particularly in leaf morphology. This study aimed to provide initial documentation of leaf phenotypic diversity in local avocado accessions from Gorontalo Regency, Indonesia. A descriptive exploratory method was conducted in eight villages: Dumati, Modelidu, Dulamayo, Tridarma, Tinelo, Kayumerah, Hepuhulawa, and Kayubulan. Twenty-two avocado accessions were characterized using 12 leaf morphological traits based on the IPGRI Descriptors for Avocado (1995). Qualitative and quantitative data were analyzed descriptively. The results revealed substantial variation in most leaf traits, with leaf shape showing the highest qualitative diversity. Seven leaf shape categories were identified: oval, ovate, lanceolate, oblong-lanceolate, oblong, roundish, and narrowly obovate. Leaf blade length ranged from 11.42 ± 1.27 to 20.07 ± 1.79 cm, while leaf width ranged from 5.08 ± 0.69 to 10.97 ± 0.97 cm. Variations were also observed in leaf color, pubescence density, primary vein number, and leaf texture, indicating diverse phenotypes among accessions. These findings provide baseline information for avocado germplasm conservation, local cultivar identification, and parent selection in breeding programs. Further molecular studies are recommended to validate the genetic relationships underlying the observed morphological variation and improve germplasm characterization.

Abstract

Empyema thoracis is a severe pleural infection characterized by the accumulation of purulent fluid within the pleural cavity, most commonly as a complication of pneumonia. Delayed diagnosis and inadequate treatment contribute to increased morbidity and mortality. This review aimed to synthesize recent evidence on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of empyema thoracis, highlighting current advances in clinical practice. A literature review was conducted using articles retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar published between 2015 and 2025. A total of 48 eligible articles, including original studies, systematic reviews, and international clinical guidelines, were analyzed. The findings indicate that disease stage at presentation and timely pleural drainage are the most consistent prognostic factors. Early-stage empyema is generally managed successfully with antibiotics and image-guided pleural drainage, whereas delayed treatment often requires surgical intervention, including video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery or decortication. The novelty of this review lies in integrating recent evidence and clinical guidelines to compare stage-based diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Early multidisciplinary management with treatment tailored to the stage of empyema is essential to improve clinical outcomes, reduce complications, and support evidence-based decision-making in clinical practice.

Abstract

Pseudomonas sp. is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen causing systemic infections in cultured fish, resulting in economic losses and increasing concerns regarding antimicrobial resistance. However, comprehensive pathological and microbiological confirmation remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate Pseudomonas sp. infection in giant gourami (Osphronemus goramy) through pathological examination, bacterial identification, and antibiotic susceptibility testing. A descriptive case study was conducted on one naturally infected fish (code F-11). Clinical observation, necropsy, histopathological examination of the liver and gills using hematoxylin-eosin staining, bacterial isolation on MacConkey agar, Gram staining, biochemical characterization, and Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion testing with 30 μg tetracycline were performed. Data were analyzed descriptively by integrating pathological and microbiological findings. Gross examination revealed ecchymotic hemorrhages in the gills, labyrinth organ, and liver, hepatic nodules, and jejunal petechiae. Histopathology demonstrated congestion, inflammatory cell infiltration, hemorrhage, focal hepatic necrosis, epithelial desquamation, and lamellar necrosis in the gills. The isolate produced transparent non-lactose-fermenting colonies, consisted of Gram-negative rods, and exhibited biochemical characteristics consistent with Pseudomonas sp. The isolate remained susceptible to tetracycline, producing a 28-mm inhibition zone. These findings confirm Pseudomonas sp. infection and highlight the importance of integrated pathological and microbiological diagnosis to support appropriate antimicrobial therapy and antimicrobial resistance surveillance in aquaculture.
