Abstract

Medicinal plants have been an important part of cultural heritage and community knowledge for generations. This study aims to determine the use of medicinal plants in urban environments, especially in Grogol Selatan Urban Village, South Jakarta. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach by collecting data based on field observations in accordance with the object of research, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that there are still many people in Grogol Selatan Village who believe in traditional medicine and utilize various types of medicinal plants, such as Abrus precatorius, Clitoria ternatea, and Morinda citrifolia, to treat various diseases. The utilization of these medicinal plants is a motivating factor for the community to get used to the use of natural materials "back to nature". People's perceptions of the use of medicinal plants are inherited from previous generations and are based on their personal experiences and knowledge. Plants that are still utilized by urban communities in Grogol Selatan Urban Village, South Jakarta such as Abrus precatorius as a cough medicine, internal heat, and fever. Clitoria ternatea as a medicine for eye pain, eye wash, and diabetes. Morinda citrifolia as a medicine for gout, hypertension, cholesterol, heat reduction, rheumatism, hair loss, and flatulence in infants. The parts of medicinal plants that are utilized are leaves, fruits, and flowers. These plant parts are very easy to utilize by soaking, boiling, chewing, pounding, squeezing, kneading, and mashing.

Abstract

Abstract Macaca fascicularis, included in the Cercopithecidae family, have a significant ecological role, one of which is as a disperser of seeds from the fruits they consume. M. fascicularis is tolerant to different types of natural and non-natural food (human food waste and rubbish), so it is currently an omnivorous animal. It can be found not only in primary and secondary forests but also in habitats close to human activity. M. fascicularis in Bali can be found in sacred areas such as temples, one of which is in the Pulaki temple area. This research aimed to determine the variety of food choices of M. fascicularis in the Pulaki temple area. This research was conducted from June to October 2023. M. fascicularis in the Pulaki Temple area was divided into four groups: Madya, Medal, Pabean, and Parkiran. The daily activities of M. fascicularis observed in this study were sleeping, grooming, sexual activity, moving, eating, caring for children, playing, and agonistic (violent activity). Based on calculations, the consumption situs big77 of non-natural foods had a higher frequency (87.18%) than natural foods (12.78%). During the research, M. fascicularis in the Pura Pulaki area had the highest preference for Gemitir flowers (n=2299). Gemitir flowers are one of the offerings fillings by Hindus who perform prayers. The high consumption of non-natural food by M. fascicularis in this area was due to several factors, namely, the lack of natural food sources and the low level of human awareness for not providing non-natural food, thus changing the animals' natural behavior. This behavior change could alter the role of animals in the ecological niche, thereby reducing the balance of the ecosystem. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the natural behavior of animals by increasing natural food sources and creating clear rules regarding the prohibition of feeding animals to visitors.

Abstract

East Citorek Village in Lebak Regency is a village that has a beautiful, cool and lush environment, and there are a lot of springs. These environmental conditions support the growth of various types of ferns. The people of East Citorek Village are not aware of varied types of ferns in their area. With the development plan of East Citorek Village as one of tourist destinations that is in the process of building facilities and accessibility, it is feared that it bears the potential to reduce and annihilate fern vegetation. The purpose of this study was to identify the types of fern (Pteridophyta) and determine the abiotic factors of ferns (Pteridophyta) at East Citorek Village, Lebak Regency. This research uses incorporates a qualitative approach using the cruise method, particularly by observing directly and exploring each place that is considered representative of the fern vegetation that becomes the concern of the study.  Each type of fern plant was sampled to be identified and collected as a dry herbarium. The results of the study found that there were 19 species, 12 families, and 7 orders of fern in the area. The most common type of fern plant found comes from the Polypodiaceae family, while the type of fern that dominates the study site is the species of Dicranopteris linearis. The results of measuring environmental abiotic factors at East Citorek Village in Lebak Regency show that the results are still feasible for the survival of ferns within the average temperature measurement of 28◦C, air humidity of 76.3%, and soil pH of6.

Abstract

The many benefits of medicinal plants require development techniques that aim to produce high and diverse secondary metabolite contents. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of the concentration of picloram and BAP and determine the optimal concentration in inducing binahong callus. The research design used was a completely randomized design with two factors, namely the combination of picloram and BAP (0, 1, 2, and 3 ppm). The incubation process of binahong callus was carried out for 40 days after planting (DAP). The observed callus growth indicators consisted of days to callus formation (days), percentage of callus explants (%), callus morphology (texture and color), and callus diameter. Data on days to callus formation and frequency of callus explants were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and further tested by Dunn if there was a significant effect. The results showed that picloram significantly affected the parameters of days to callus formation and the percentage of callus explants, while BAP significantly affected the parameters of days to callus formation and did not significantly affect the percentage of callus explants parameter. At concentrations of 1 ppm, 2 ppm, and 3 ppm, picloram had a significant effect on both the days to callus formation and the percentage of callus explants parameters. BAP at concentrations of 1 ppm, 2 ppm, and 3 ppm only had a significant effect on the parameter of days to callus formation appearance and was not significant in the percentage of callus explants parameter. The interaction between BAP and picloram had a significant effect on the parameters of days to callus formation and the percentage of callus explants. The resulting callus has a compact texture with callus colors ranging from white, and green, to brown. The most optimal concentration in all indicators is 0 ppm BAP + 1 ppm picloram with days to callus formation of 6 DAP, 100% explants form callus, overall callus is white with compact texture, and has a very high callus growth.

Abstract

Streptococcus mutans is the prior bacteria causing dental caries. Suruhan (Peperomia pellucida) may prevent dental caries due to its antibacterial bioactive content. This study aims to identify the bioactive profile of Suruhan ethanol extract and its antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans. Bioactive compounds were analyzed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Antibacterial activity was tested through an inhibition test using the well-diffusion method, the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) test, and the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) test. The most detected compounds in Suruhan ethanol extract were n-eicosane, n-hexadecane, and glycerol. There are also antibacterial bioactives such as phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids. Inhibition test of 500 mg/mL extract showed a clear zone of 8.25 mm diameter. The MIC and MBC values were 50 mg/mL and 100 mg/mL, respectively. Based on the results, Suruhan ethanol extract shows potential as an antibacterial, although its inhibitory effectiveness could be better.
