Abstract

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium and transmitted to humans through the Anopheles mosquito vector. The large diversity of Anopheles in Indonesia, which consists of similar complex species, makes it difficult to identify species based on morphological characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary to have another approach to identifying species based on molecular characteristics using DNA molecular markers. This approach becomes important as a basis for vector-based malaria control efforts. This research aims to explore potential DNA barcodes based on in silico studies as a reference for DNA barcoding analysis of Anopheles species in Indonesia. The data sequences of CO1 and ITS2 from Anopheles sp. were collected on the NCBI database. The sequence alignment was performed using CLUSTALX2. The construction of a phylogenetic tree was carried out using MEGA XI. Data analysis was performed by observing the construction of phylogenetic trees, bootstrap scores, and genetic distance. The data sequence in NCBI shows that 10 species of the genus Anopheles as malaria vectors have been studied in Indonesia. Sequence alignment of the 10 species based on CO1 and ITS2 markers showed that ITS2 markers had higher genetic variation than CO1. Therefore, the ITS2 sequence has the potential to be a DNA barcode for the molecular identification of Anopheles.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze important trends and information (findings) regarding Pluchea indica research in Indonesia during and after Covid-19 based on the Scopus Database. This research uses a systematic literature review (SLR) by adapting Moher's version of the PRISMA model to find the right articles. An interesting finding from this SLR is that the publication trend of Pluchea indica tends to increase in 2022-2024 even though the data ignores other types of publications (such as reviews, conference articles, chapters, books, and editorials, and in 2024 it is still ongoing so it is very likely that the number of articles will increase in end of year. There are several universities that are prominent in Pluchea indica research. Many universities in Indonesia are starting to be interested in focusing their research on Pluchea indica, in total, not per university and red) in the Scimago Journal & Country Rank. This shows that there have been no research articles on Pluchea indica that have made it into reputable journals or been included in major publishers. Eleven articles show that Pluchea indica, especially its leaves, have various medicinal properties and can be used in daily medical practice. days. Pluchea indica also has a connection or potential if it is associated with COVID-19.

Abstract

The effectiveness of soil microarthropods as a bioindicator was studied to evaluate various soils in the conditions of various lands, including moorland in Gumukmas District, Jember Regency. This study focuses on data collection of the diversity and structure of soil microarthropod communities along with the assessment of their ecological parameters. Field observations were carried out in five villages in Gumukmas District from August-September 2022 using the hand sorting method.  The data were analyzed using α-diversity parameters (Dominance Index, Simpson Index, Evenness, Shannon-Weiner Index, Brillouin Index, and Margalef Species Richness). Habitat similarities were presented by UPGMA multivariate analysis and the estimation of abiotic factors that influence soil microarthropod composition was estimated by Canonical Component Analysis (CCA). The observations showed a total of 24 families from 13 soil microarthropod orders that spread across Gumukmas District. The abundance of diversity based on the α-diversity is still relatively low to moderate, nevertheless, the correlation of microarthropod orders to environmental factors can reveal conditions of the soil cycle through the study site. The results of the study are expected to assist in efforts to restore the diversity of soil microarthropods to support better soil quality.

Abstract

This research aims to improve the metacognitive and communication skills of Biology Education students through the application of the Reading, Finding, Discussing & Talking (RFDT) learning model. The method used in this research is quasi-experimental with a nonequivalent control group design. The research sample consisted of 125 students divided into two groups: the experimental group which used the RFDT learning model and the control group which used conventional learning. Research instruments include metacognitive ability tests, communication ability questionnaires, as well as observations and interviews to support quantitative data. Data analysis was carried out using the t test to determine significant differences between the experimental group and the control group. The results showed that there was a significant increase in metacognitive abilities and communication skills in the experimental group compared to the control group. Students who take part in RFDT learning show an increase in their metacognitive abilities and their communication skills also increase. The application of the RFDT model also helps students understand the material more deeply through reading, finding information, discussing and speaking. This research concludes that the RFDT learning model is effective in improving the metacognitive and communication skills of biology education students. Therefore, it is recommended that this model be implemented more widely in the learning process to support the development of critical thinking and communication skills among students.

Abstract

Soil insects live in the soil or even both on the surface of the soil. Soil surface insects are one of the important animals in the soil ecosystem because their role is very important in the survival of the vegetation above them. Soil insects act as decomposers of organic materials, which will be useful as nutrients for plants. Apart from that, soil insects can also be used as indicators of soil fertility. The aim of this research is to determine the diversity of soil insects in the rice field ecosystem of Palembang City. This research was conducted in a rice field ecosystem using the pitfall trap method, 4 traps for 30 days. The results of the research obtained 14 species of soil insects from 11 families and the diversity index level of soil insects was classified as medium with a diversity index value of 1.057 with the dominating species, namely Camponotus laevigatus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). Soil insects are an important part of an ecosystem or habitat. The diversity of ground surface insects and ecosystem functions show a very complex relationship and not much is known with certainty. A decrease in diversity and changes in the role of ground surface insects will occur due to changes in land use systems and habitats that are degraded due to development. The level of soil insect diversity needs to be maintained or increased to ensure soil fertility and overall ecosystem health and function remain optimal.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the trend and scope of strengthening literacy in biology learning over four decades that will make a valuable contribution to the biology learning in all educational levels. This study employed a systematic literature review (SLR) method adapted from the PRISMA model. This SLR obtained several interesting findings. It was found that the theme of biology and literacy reached its peak in 2023. We found two main countries to focus on, namely the United States and Indonesia. Biology and its learning are synonymous with scientific/science literacy. Other types of literacy that are widely promoted by researchers are information literacy, quantitative literacy, health literacy, visual literacy, computer literacy, three-dimensional literacy, reading literacy, media literacy, assessment literacy, epigenetic literacy, digital literacy, and environmental literacy. In the Indonesian context, we suggest that biology learning needs to be oriented towards strengthening the literacy aspects-science literacy, information literacy, quantitative literacy, health literacy, visual literacy, computer literacy, three-dimensional literacy, reading literacy, media literacy, assessment literacy, epigenetic literacy, digital literacy, and environmental literacy-found in SLR because each of them has an urgency.

Abstract

Students’ engagement and curiosity in learning Biology is suboptimal, hence innovative teaching methods are required to cultivate their interest and enhance their understanding of the subject matter. The research aims to identify differences in students’ interest in learning Biology across grades VII, VIII, and IX, based on gender and other indicators. The study analyzes the variations in students’ interest in the growth and development of living creatures at Bulu Tolang Adventist Private Middle School, Labuhanbatu Regency. The research population comprises all students at the school, with a research sample of 64 students using total sampling techniques. The study employed a quantitative descriptive research method and used a questionnaire of 20 statements calculated using a Likert scale. The data analysis involved descriptive description of the average percentage of students’ interest in learning. The research results revealed that: (1) Grade VII students’ interest in learning was categorized as high (65.62%), Grade VIII high (62.69%) and Grade IX medium (51.60%); (2) Students’ interest in learning based on gender showed that males were in the medium category (54.28%) in paying attention to lessons, while females were higher (65.23%); and (3) Student interest in learning based on indicators, namely feelings of enjoyment in participating in learning amounting to (59.68%), attention (58.99%), interest (57.43%), and student involvement (60.11%). The study concludes that Grade VIII students exhibit higher interest in learning Biology than their Grade VII and IX counterparts. Based on gender, female students demonstrate greater interest in learning than male students. The study also indicates that students’ feelings of joy, attention, interest, and involvement are in the medium category. Factors that influence the level of student learning include the family environment, motivation, and interest in learning. Innovative teaching methods can help support students’ higher interest in learning, including interest and feelings of enjoyment in learning.
