Abstract

Bats (Ordo Chiroptera) are one of the animals that have an important role in the sustainability of the ecosystem such as pollinators, seed dispersers, pest control and guano producers. In addition to their important role, bats are also animals (hosts) for several types of ectoparasites. Ectoparasites are parasitic organisms that live on the surface of the host's body. Generally, suck blood and live on the host’s hair, feathers, or skin. The research was conducted in Buwun Cave Prabu Village, Pujut District, Central Lombok Regency West Nusatenggara. Data collection on ectoparasites in bats was done manually with tweezers and a comb. Furthermore, samples of ectoparasites were identified based on sources of morphological evidence and referred to various references. The results showed that there were 3 species of bats identified, each consisting of 7 species of Eonycteris spelaea, 6 species of Rhinolopus simplex, and 3 Hipposideros diadema. Based on the results of the examination of the three bat species, there were 47 individual ectoparasites, which were identified in 3 species of ectoparasites, namely Cyclopodia horsfieldii, Amblyomma sp, and Meristapsis sp.

Abstract

This study is an experimental study aimed at clarifying the characteristics of the solvent in the extraction of lycopene in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) as a candidate photosensitizer for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). The performance of DSSC  depends on the type of dye commonly used as a sensitizer. Tomatoes contain an lycopene. Yields of lycopene extract in tomatoes were characterized by FTIR and UV-Vis spectrophotometers. The extraction methods used in this study are the maceration method and liquid-liquid extraction. The procedure of this study was carried out in two main stages,  the extraction stage and the characterization stage. The first step was the extraction of lycopene from tomatoes using the maceration and liquid-liquid extraction methods. The maceration process compared the use of acetone and ethyl acetate as solvents. This extraction step produced  6.514 g (acetone) and 5.6702 g (ethyl acetate) lycopene extracts. The second step is to identify the functional groups of the compound formed using an FTIR spectrophotometer and use a UV-Vis spectrophotometer to determine the absorbance and maximum wavelength value of the lycopene and  M-lycopene complex. The results of the FTIR spectrophotometer test showed that using acetone as the solvent produced wavenumbers similar to lycopene compared to ethyl acetate.  UV-Vis spectrophotometer test results show the maximum wavelengths of the lycopene extract using acetone as the solvent were 447 nm, and 294 nm when ethyl acetate was used as the solvent. The Eg results revealed that the Eg values ​​for the acetone and ethyl acetate extracts were 4.52 eV and 2.68 eV. Based on the results of property analysis of the two solvents used, acetone was more suitable than ethyl acetate for the extraction of tomato lycopene used as a DSSC sensitizer.

Abstract

This study aimed to isolate endophytic bacteria from the roots of the gamal plant and to test its ability to solubilize anorganic phosphate dan to produce IAA (indol acetic acid). The steps in this study were the isolation of endophytic bacteria from the roots of the gamal plant taken from Woja District, Dompu Regency, the IAA test, and the phosphate solubility test using the colorimetric method. And then carried out the characterization of cells, colonies and biochemical properties of isolates. In this study, 6 isolates of endophytic bacteria from the roots of gamal plants were obtained which can dissolve phosphate, of which two isolates, namely ATG1 and ATG4 with phosphate solubility indices ranging from 3 and 4. These two isolates were also capable of producing IAA, with concentrations 16.48 and 17.72 ppm, respectively. Most of the isolates were Gram positive bacteria and were in the form of bacilli. The endophytic isolates obtained above are isolates that have the potential to be candidates for components of the biofertilizer formulation consortium in the future.

Abstract

The University of Mataram is coordinating the ARISA Corn (Applied Research and Innovation System in Agriculture) Intervention Project, which includes partners such as Bank NTB Syariah, PT. Syngenta, the Department of Agriculture, Retailer of Subsidized Fertilizers, and buyers of produce have exceeded their target of increasing 30% in revenue. The purpose of this study consisted of a general objective, namely to analyze the sustainability of the ARISA partnership project in the village of Gumantar, Kayangan District, North Lombok Regency and a specific purpose to analyze the sustainability of the partnership of corn farmers who carried out the ARISA project in the village of Kayangan District, North Lombok Regency. This study uses descriptive methods and data collection techniques with survey techniques. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling (deliberately) with the consideration that only 1 of these villages participated in the ARISA project at the beginning of the project. The technique of determining respondents using proportional sampling was determined by 15 respondents because only the corn farmers participated in the ARISA project from the beginning to the end of the project. The data analysis used is qualitative descriptive analysis. The results show that the sustainability of the partnership in the ARISA project is still ongoing even though the program has ended in 2018. The partnership between farmers and Unram does not continue in terms of the application of technology. The partnership with Bank NTB Syariah through the application of people's business credit applications and purchasing inputs according to recommendations with new suppliers is still ongoing. Field agricultural extension staff manage and coordinate fertilizer distribution with RDKK and merchants. The collaboration with yield buyers continues with new purchasers.

Abstract

The rapid growth of the aquaculture sector can indirectly lead to the accumulation of unresolved aquaculture waste in the sea. The IMTA cultivation system is one of the innovations developed in aquaculture activities to overcome aquatic environmental problems, such as the accumulation of waste from feed used in aquaculture activities. The concept combines the cultivation of several species with different trophic levels, such as fish that are fed and combined with seaweed that can absorb inorganic materials in the water. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of nitrogen absorption in Kappaphycus alvarezii using a longline system in the IMTA area in the waters of Ekas Bay. This study used a Randomized Block Design (RAK) with 4 treatments and each treatment was divided into 4 groups (North, South, East, and West). The treatment given was planting seaweed at different depths, namely 50 cm, 100 cm, 150 cm, and 200 cm. The results showed that Kappaphycus alvarezii reared with an integrated cultivation system at different planting depths gave significantly different results in absolute weight growth with values ​​ranging from 120,31 grams – 195,58 grams and specific growth rates ranging from 2.67% - 4, 35%, but did not have a significant effect on the rate of nitrogen uptake in all treatments, but the highest absorption value was at a depth of 2 meters. So the researchers suggest the cultivation of Kappaphycus alvarezii at a depth of 2 meters in the waters of Ekas Bay, East Lombok with a longline system in the IMTA area.
