Abstract

The utilization of backyard gardens to fulfill family food by the Indonesian people needs to be developed, along with fulfilling nutrition during the Covid-19 pandemic. One of the plants that have the potential to grow is Brazilian spinach (Alternanthera sissoo). References on the morphology of Brazilian spinach are still limited, so it is necessary to observe the plant organs. This study aims to determine the leaf morphology of Brazilian spinach as vegetables in backyard gardens. Morphological observations of these spinach leaves were carried out visually at the Integrated Laboratory of the Agroecotechnology Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Lambung Mangkurat University, in August 2020. The results showed that Brazilian spinach has a herbaceous with a simple leaf in a deltoid shape (deltoideus). It has tapered leaf tips (acuminatus); acuminated leaf base (acuminatus); wavy leaf margin (repandus); and simple palmate leaf venation (palminervis). The arrangement of its leaves is folia decussate, where each nod has two leaves that emerge opposite each other

Abstract

Sustainable development describes the simultaneous maintenance of balance between socio-economic development and environmental sustainability without jeopardizing the future generation's potential to serve their own needs. The main aim of this article is to analyze the sustainability attained by government schools in Andhra Pradesh by providing education to elementary pupils during COVID-19. The unexpected outbreak of the deadly virus COVID-19 wreaked havoc on educational systems, harming children's education. In response to the lockdown, all educational institutions were closed for an extended length of time and remained shuttered even today. According to the information gathered, the government of Andhra Pradesh took all necessary safety measures to ensure the accessibility of government elementary schools and to minimize primary school dropouts. They televised the online lessons to every class at periodic intervals on regional government channels for students. Pupils were given worksheets to exercise according to the curriculum aired on television. These worksheets were submitted for review to the concerned faculty by students' parents. The children were given dry rations monthly as part of the "Mid-Day-Meal" program, which offered healthy meals to address the students' food difficulties, food security, and access to schooling during the COVID-19 epidemic. This document serves as a resource for teachers, administrators, and government officials on how to deal with and avoid the trajectories that primary school pupils face in the future when confronted with difficult situations. Furthermore, the whole perspective provides a list of resources, recommendations, and strategies for ensuring the sustainability of the educational system during the pandemic

Abstract

Among the many preserved mangrove areas in Riau Province is the one located in the Meranti Islands Regency. However, the regency is prone to environmental pollution and destruction, so control efforts, namely prevention, management, and recovery, are needed to mitigate it. This study aims to explain women's involvement in the mangrove community's activities as well as their social position within said community. Their involvement will be able to explain their social position, whether they have the ability to make decisions on public activities or only act as objects of a patriarchal development process. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The main informants in this study were women who were directly involved in the mangrove community activities, while the villagers who were not directly involved acted as supporting informants. The village women who were involved in the mangrove forest rehabilitation are all married, aged 29 to 50 years old, and have completed elementary school. Each woman has specialized activities, such as seeding, planting, and making dodol, syrup, and chips. Their role in the mangrove community has a great potential to control the balance between ecological and socio-economic benefits of mangrove forests. However, their activities are not independent. Their involvement is passive as it remains under the management of a coastal conservation leader, and it only serves to help their husbands because the rehabilitation of coastal areas will help maintain the habitat of fish and marine animals, which are their husbands' source of income.

Abstract

The phenolic compound is the main source of antioxidants that reduces the incidence of chronic diseases such as heart disease, blood cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, etc. This experiment aimed to investigate the effect of the three milling processes of rice (dehusking, auto, and polishing) on polyphenol content with their antioxidant activity and nutritional profile. The polyphenol content was determined according to the Folin Ciocalteu method. Polishing rice contained a maximum phenolic compound (36.28 ± 0.73mg/g of extract) that was statistically different from other milling rice (p<0.05). Polishing rice contained the highest amount of protein (262.69 ± 0.38mg/g extract), whereas auto rice contained the highest amount of free amino acid content (14.06 ± 0.46mg/g extract) and total sugar content (1312.29 ± 2.28mg/g extract). Reducing sugar content was statistically similar to all milling rice. Antioxidant activity was comparatively assessed by ABTS (2, 2′-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) free radical decolorization assay method. It was investigated that polishing rice showed strong free radical scavenging capacity by ABTS radical. It is concluded that polishing rice can be used as a functional ingredient with high polyphenol and protein content with strong antioxidant activity.

Abstract

Zein-based biomaterials were used as alternatives to plastic to produce spray-on mulching films and horticulture pots. Spray-on zein-based mulching films were prepared using basic zein solutions in water solidified with either potassium salts or acetic acid. In the lab, zein mulching films decreased moisture loss by approximately 10% over a 16 days period, reduced phosphorus runoff by 70%, and prevented soil erosion upon exposure to simulated rainfall events. Healthy growth of cherry radishes and pickling cucumbers was observed with zein mulch solidified with potassium phosphate and glacial acetic acid, indicating that zein mulch is a promising alternative to plastic mulching films. Moreover, zein was used to produce horticulture pots in combination with either linseed or tung oil. Zein pots did not degrade upon exposure to either -18℃ for seven days or outdoor sun for seven days or when they were submerged in aqueous solutions at pH 4, 6, and 9. Food grade dyes were incorporated into the potting material to enhance visual appeal without affecting the integrity of the zein material. Heirloom radish seeds germinated in zein pots were taller compared to those grown in commercial peat pots, indicating that zein pots can be successfully used

Abstract

Since the pandemic hit the globe in 2020, it has changed the street's image. The street remains silent due to the COVID-imposed lockdown. The streets, usually bustling with people and activities, were near silent. The commencement practice of "social-distancing" has brought dramatic changes in street usage, where streets portray as a place for active travel, mobility, and connecting people. Thus, this paper reviews the present effect of changing street behavior based on existing literature. Qualitative analysis was performed using content analysis to elaborate on the impact of street function during this pandemic. Activities on the street such as walking, cycling, gathering, and social events have impacted and limited participation in public. However, the street plays a vital role in supporting physical and mental well-being, as mentioned in SDG 11: Make the cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. The findings of this study will help ensure that streets can become a public health approach and risk reduction for people to engage in outdoor activities. Therefore, streets serve as the primary hope in overcoming the pandemic and how the city and people can have inclusive and safe access to the streets throughout the pandemic. We believe that social distancing should not preclude social interaction.

Abstract

Regional development was done before Indonesia's Independent day in 1945, but it still did not achieve the result as expected. The root cause of this problem is avoiding factors that influence regional development. The method used is an integrated review of research focused on regional development and competitiveness. This paper will discuss the external and internal factors of regional development to increase Indonesian position in regional competitiveness level. Internal factors related to regional development are management, resources, participation, local industry, infrastructure, technology, local policy, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Moreover, the external factors affecting regional development are the government, politics, market, and investment. Internal factors in regional development can be controlled; however, external factors are uncontrollable. Focusing on regional development to maintain competitive economic growth and become a competitive region should be put on innovation, entrepreneurship, and networking
