Abstract

The growth of laundry services is directly proportional to the use of detergent. Detergent is a cleaning product that contains high levels of COD and phosphate. One method that can be used to overcome this problem is Multi Soil Layering (MSL). This research focussed on the flow rate's effect on decreasing pH, COD, and phosphate levels in industrial laundry waste. MSL was installed using a mixture of andosol soil and activated charcoal from coconut shells. Laundry wastewater was let into MSL with flowrate: 10, 50, and 100 ml/minute. The waste degradation system is placed anaerobically by optimising the anaerobic process in the andosol soil. The pH, COD, and phosphate levels were achieved at 7, 90.9%, and 80.7% by draining the laundry industry waste into the MSL system. This MSL method has a residence time of 266 minutes for a flowrate of 100 mL/minute, 532 minutes for a flowrate of 50 mL/minute and 2660 for a flowrate of 10 mL/minute.

Abstract

Fish oil contains eicosapentaenoic acid (E.P.A.) and docosahexaenoic acid (D.H.A.) which are beneficial for heart health, controlling blood glucose, reducing atherosclerosis, and lowering the risk of cancer. This study aims to determine the effect of commercial feed supplemented with cod liver oil on blood glucose levels and pancreatic histology of male rabbits. Twenty rabbits were divided into four groups, namely commercial feed supplemented with cod liver oil 3% (P1), 4.5% (P2), 6% (P3), and commercial feed without cod liver oil supplementation (control). Each group consisted of five rabbits, and the treatment was given for four weeks. The parameters observed were blood glucose levels in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th weeks and the histology of the male rabbits’ pancreas. Data were analyzed by Anova. The results showed that in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd weeks there was no significant difference (P>0.05). In contrast, in the 4th  and 5th weeks, there was a significant difference (P<0.05) between the control and treatment of cod liver oil supplementation on blood glucose levels in male rabbits, and the observational results on the histology of rabbits showed normal pancreatic histology. In conclusion, cod liver oil supplementation on commercial feed controlled blood glucose levels, and there was no disturbance in the histological structure of the pancreas of male rabbits.Keywords: fatty acid, glucose, cod liver oil, pancreas, rabbit

Abstract

Planting Mangroves in the ponds of PT Antam Tbk UBPP Logam Mulia, Pulogadung, Jakarta, is one of the environmental management activities in the reforestation area as a form of social and environmental responsibility. The existence of mangrove plants in ponds which have reached the age of 2 years recently, could have an ecological impact. Field observations were made by measuring the type and density of flora in the pond by census, and the frequency of biological encounters based on time search for fauna. The results showed that there were 4 types of plants in the ponds, namely mangrove (Rhizophora mucronata), lotus (Nymphaea lotus), needle grass (Adropogon aciculatus), and Moss (Taxiphyllum barbieri). Identified as many as 11 species of fauna, 5 species of insects, 1 species of aves, 1 species of macro benthic, and 3 species of fish. The diversity index of flora and fauna in the ponds was still in the low category (H' < 1). The growth of R. mucronata type mangroves aged 2 years in ponds reached an average height of 47 cm with a diameter of 1.3 cm, with a total biomass of 36.77 kg and contributed to absorbing CO2 of 54.41 kg or 5.4 ton/ha. Biodiversity in the pond ecosystem of PT Antam Tbk UBPP Logam Mulia has the potential to continue to grow and contribute to carbon sequestration.Keywords: Pool; Mangroves; Biodiversity; Rhizophora mucronataABSTRAKKeanekargaman Hayati Ekosistem Kolam Mangrove Kawasan PT Antam Tbk.

Abstract

The high production of shallots (Allium cepa. L) causes a large amount of shallot waste in the form of shallot skins, which are organic wastes with a light weight, easily dispersed, disturbing the landscape and polluting the environment as well as being a source of disease. So that it is necessary to process waste into materials that have useful and even economic value, one of which is Liquid Organic Fertilizer (POC). The purpose of this study was to determine the levels of macro and micro nutrients in POC with varying concentrations of EM-4 bioactivator. In this study, the manufacture of POC with various concentrations of bioactivator 0, 25, 50, and 100 mL with a fermentation time of 14 days. Then carried out physicochemical observations, namely observing physical and chemical changes ranging from viscosity, color, odor and the presence or absence of gas in the POC made. The resulting POC was then tested for macro-nutrients (N, P, K and C-organic) and micro-nutrients (Fe, Mn, and Cu) using AAS and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. In this study, the best POC of onion peel waste was obtained at a concentration of 100 mL bioactivator with macronutrients N, P, K, C-Organic, each of which was 0.71; 1.45; 0.36 and 4.7%; while the content of micronutrients Fe, Mn, and Cu were 0.037, respectively; 0.0052, and 0.198%. It can be concluded that the levels of macro and micro nutrients have complied with SNI 19-7030-2004 except for C-organic elements which are still far below the standard, and POC made from onion skin has a high phosphorus content, so it is very suitable for use in plants that have high levels of phosphorus. require growth regulators (ZPT), especially for root growth.

Abstract

Thomas langur (Presbytis thomasi) is an endemic primate to Aceh and North Sumatra. These primates have a local name, “Kedih.” Forest fires and forest functions conversion into oil palm plantations are pressure on their habitat and have decreased wild populations in nature. As arboreal animals, their movements depend heavily on the connectivity of vegetation. Comprehensive research is needed to obtain horizontal and vertical daily movement data of the thomas langur. This study used GPS to take coordinates, a camera to document Thomas langur and its food trees, and Thomas langur as a research object. The data recorded includes the coordinates of each forage tree, the type of forage tree, and the height of the canopy strata used by Thomas langur for foraging. The hardwood movement data was plotted on ArGis 10.1 to get the horizontal hardness movement area. Tree height data was obtained by measuring the tree height where Thomas langur stopped to look for food. Kedih movements to look for food are carried out daily from morning to evening. The results showed that the short length of movement was highly depend on the availability of forage trees. The denser the forage trees, the shorter the daily activities of Thomas langur. This daily movement can be done horizontally and vertically. Horizontally, Thomas langur moved to follow the forage trees, and vertically, Thomas langur moved by utilizing the height of the forage trees. Horizontally, Thomas langur moved 144.92 m in the rehabilitation block and 62.30 m in the protection block. The Thomas langur home ranged in the rehabilitation block is 27 ha, and 25 ha in the protected block. Vertically, Kedih in the rehabilitation blocks and protected blocks moved to trees with a height of 11-20 m, as much as 49%.

Abstract

Tampoi (Baccaurea macrocarpa (Miq.) Mull.Arg) is a member of the genus Baccaurea which is distributed mainly in the regions of Borneo and Sumatra. The use of tampoi can be done by exploring the potential of tampoi plants as medicinal plants. The research was conducted to determine the content of secondary metabolites and the results of the analysis of the antioxidant activity of tampoi leaves. The leaf extraction process uses polar solvents in the form of water, 70% ethanol, 70% methanol and non-polar in the form of chloroform, toluene, and n-hexane. Analysis of antioxidant activity using the DPPH method (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazil). The results showed that polar solvents are better used in extracting secondary metabolites of tampoi leaves in non-plar solvents. The conclusion of this study is the types of secondary metabolites contained in tampoi leaves, namely alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, steroids, and triterpenoids. Young tampoi leaves have a stronger antioxidant activity value than old leaves. The most effective solvent for extracting secondary metabolite compounds of tampoi leaves is 70% methanol.
