Abstract

Bau Nyale is an annual tradition of the Sasak people in Central Lombok, which is celebrated every year on the 20th of the 10th month according to the Sasak calendar. This tradition comes from a legend that lives in society about the sacrifice of a princess to maintain the peace and unity of her country. Through a multidisciplinary approach that combines the perspectives of science and ecotourism sustainability, this study aims to present a comprehensive understanding of the Nyale legend and phenomenon and their associated ecotourism implications. This research method includes a literature study, field observations and interviews. The results of this study provide a deeper understanding of the legend of Princess Mandalika, the Bau Nyale phenomenon, and the related ecotourism implications. It was found that Nyale rituals have significant ecological and social impacts, including potential reductions in Nyale sea worm populations and changes to local culture. Therefore, sustainable ecotourism management is needed to ensure the sustainability of this phenomenon in the long term. This research has important implications in cultural preservation and environmental conservation. It is hoped that this study can contribute to an understanding of the interaction between cultural traditions and ecotourism and become a basis for developing sustainable management strategies in the context of the Bau Nyale phenomenon.

Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (A.M.R.) is one of the main threats in the health sector. Most antimicrobials, including antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals, and antiparasitics, are derived from bioactive compounds found in bacteria, particularly the actinomycetes group. This study aimed to isolate and test endophytic bacteria on coffee plants against antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria, namely penicillin-resistant S. aureus. This study used several methods: endophytic bacteria isolation, bacterial purification, gram staining, and endophytic bacteria antagonist test against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Eight endophytic coffee isolates were obtained from the roots and pods of Robusta coffee. One bacterial isolate with the code AR4 had an antagonistic effect on tetracycline-resistant S. aureus bacteria.

Abstract

Improving learning outcomes can be achieved by implementing models that cater to students' learning needs and are integrated with contextual issues as part of the learning process. Problem Based Learning (PBL) is an effective model widely used to facilitate student-centered learning activities and promote problem-based learning. The implementation of PBL directs learning towards contextual issues and the relevant experiences of students, resulting in improved learning outcomes. This study aims to enhance student learning outcomes of class X IPA 1 through the implementation of the PBL model. It employs Classroom Action Research conducted in two cycles with stages including planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data was gathered through observation, pre-tests, and post-tests in both cycles. Data analysis techniques involved both qualitative and quantitative analyses. The results revealed an initial class average score of 70.00 in the first cycle, achieved through the implementation of the PBL model. The average class score further improved to 85.00 in the second cycle, obtained through reflective practices using the PBL model and discussion methods. This demonstrates that employing the PBL model alongside discussions enhances the learning outcomes of class X IPA 1 students in the topic of ecosystems.
