Rose flowers and katuk leaves have not been maximally utilized. people only use rose flowers as ornamental plants and katuk leaves as vegetables. Though many bioactive compounds contained in both plants such as antioxidants and vitamin C. This study aims to examine the effect of drying temperature on the physical and chemical properties of tea combined with rose flowers and katuk leaves. the research method used a factorial complete randomized design (CRD) with a variation of drying temperatures of 50°C, 60°C, and 70°C for 5 hours, each repeated 3 times. the research parameters included chemical analysis, namely antioxidant levels (DPPH method), and vitamin C (iodimetry titration), as well as analysis of physical properties, namely pH value (pH meter), and evaluation of color, taste, and aroma. The results showed that drying temperature had a significant effect on antioxidant levels, vitamin C, pH value, color, and taste of tea, but had no effect on aroma. Drying temperature of 50°C produced the best quality with antioxidant content of 49.60%, vitamin C of 85.05 mg/100g, pH value of 6.56, light brown color, slightly bitter taste, and distinctive aroma of katuk leaves. In conclusion, a drying temperature of 50°C is recommended to produce rose flower and katuk leaf combination tea with the best physical and chemical quality.

The epidermal structure and phytochemical composition of six palm species (Arecaceae) were studied to understand their anatomical characteristics and bioactive compound content. Leaf samples from phoenix palm (Phoenix roebelenii), red palm (Cyrtostachys renda), foxtail palm (Wodyetia bifurcata), fan palm (Livistona chinensis), christmas palm (Adonidia merrillii), and yellow palm (Chrysalldocarpus lutescens) were analyzed through microscopic observation and phytochemical screening. The results revealed variations in epidermal cell shape, cell wall structure, and stomatal distribution. Most species exhibited smooth-walled epidermal cells, except for red palm (C. renda), which had wavy cell walls. Stomata were predominantly tetracytic, with red palm (C. renda) and christmas palm (A. merrillii) displaying an amphistomatic distribution, while the other species were hypostomatic. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of flavonoids and saponins in all samples. Triterpenoids were detected only in phoenix palm (P. roebelenii), fan palm (L. chinensis), and yellow palm (C. lutescens). Alkaloids were found in phoenix palm (P. roebelenii) and red palm (C. renda), while steroids were present in red palm (C. renda), foxtail palm (W. bifurcata), and christmas palm (A. merrillii). Additionally, tannins were detected in all plant samples except for fan palm (L. chinensis). These findings suggest that palm leaves possess significant bioactive compounds that could be explored for pharmaceutical and industrial applications.

The local communities in the interior of Kalimantan have long utilized plants from the Zingiberaceae family as traditional medicinal ingredients, especially for postpartum care. Many species of Zingiberaceae are retained in postnatal care because they are effective in alleviating and healing ailments. This study aims to review the potential diversity of Zingiberaceae species used in traditional medicine after childbirth and to identify their chemical compound content. The method used is a literature review with an analysis of scientific literature from the past 10 years discussing the utilization of Zingiberaceae by the community in Kalimantan in managing mothers after childbirth. The results show that there are ten species and four genera of Zingiberaceae that are frequently used, namely Alpinia, Kaempferia, Curcuma, and Zingiber. The plant organ that is utilized is the rhizome, processed in various ways such as boiling, pounding, or turning into powder before being consumed or applied to the body. The compound content in Zingiberaceae includes curcumin, gingerol, and shogaol, which have immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities, playing a role in postpartum treatment for women. This research emphasizes that Zingiberaceae plays an important role in traditional postnatal treatment, and further studies are needed to support the preservation of local knowledge, as well as conservation and sustainable utilization.

Orangutans are arboreal primates and the only great apes native to Asia. Reproduction is crucial for the survival and long-term viability of orangutan populations. This review explores orangutan reproductive biology, focusing on its key features and the potential influences of environmental change. Orangutan (Pongo spp.) reproduction is marked by delayed sexual maturation, long interbirth intervals, and intensive maternal care, reflecting a slow life history strategy. Male bimaturism produces flanged and unflanged forms, each with different mating strategies shaped by social context. Female strategies, such as mate selection and resistance to coercive mating, play a critical role in reproductive outcomes. Climate change, through shifts in rainfall and temperature, is expected to affect food availability, potentially disrupting reproductive timing and offspring survival. The increasing presence of nanoparticles is also considered an emerging threat, though data specific to primates remains limited. Conservation efforts have focused on habitat protection, conflict mitigation, and ex-situ management, including rehabilitation and management of captive individuals in zoos; however, cryopreservation remains largely unexplored.

Livestock health is a crucial factor that influences the success of animal farming. One of the determinants of livestock health is the presence of parasites. This study aims to identify the types of gastrointestinal parasites and determine their prevalence in Sapera goats at Jawara Farm. The research was conducted using three examination methods: native, sedimentation, and flotation. A total of 23 goat fecal samples were examined in the laboratory. The identification results revealed five types of gastrointestinal parasites: Haemonchus contortus, Trichuris spp., Eimeria hirci, Eimeria christenseni, and Eimeria aspheronica. The parasite with the highest prevalence was Haemonchus contortus (69%), followed by Trichuris spp. (39%), Eimeria aspheronica (26%), Eimeria hirci (17%), and Eimeria christenseni (13%). The highest average Egg Per Gram (EPG) was found in Trichuris spp. (379.17), categorized as a moderate infection. Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and pen hygiene are strongly suspected to influence the prevalence rate and severity of parasitic infections. This study is expected to serve as a foundation for efforts in controlling and preventing parasitic infections on farms.
