Abstract

Ferns (Pteridohyta) are cormophyte plants that have spores and are able to live in varying environmental conditions. The diversity of fern species can be identified through identification activities. Identification is the initial process in classifying a type of plant. Ferns are widely found in the STKIP Gotong Royong Masohi campus environment, but their species are not yet known. Therefore, this study aims to identify the types of ferns in the STKIP Gotong Royong Masohi campus environment. The type of research used is descriptive exploratory with a qualitative approach. This research was conducted in the STKIP Gotong Royong Masohi campus environment in August 2024. This research consists of 4 stages, namely the preparation stage, the sampling stage and the fern type identification stage. Based on the research results, it is known that there are 7 families and 9 types of ferns found in the STKIP Gotong Royong Masohi campus environment, namely Phymatosorus sclopendria, Cristella dentata, Asplenium nidus, Nephrolepis biserrata, Selaginella Sp, Pyrrosia lanceolata, Davallia denticulata, Lygodium flexuosum, and Pteris ensiformis.

Abstract

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) remains a formidable threat in both community and healthcare settings, thanks to its ability to evade β-lactam antibiotics and accumulate resistance to multiple drug classes. Here, we sequenced and compared the genomes of 13 recent clinical MRSA isolates alongside two well-characterized reference strains (N315 and NCTC 8325). By applying the ResFinder and VirulenceFinder pipelines, we rapidly cataloged each strain’s antibiotic resistance and virulence repertoire. Every MRSA isolate carried the hallmark mecA gene, and most also harbored blaZ, which encodes penicillinase. Resistance determinants for aminoglycosides (aac(6′)-Ie-aph(2″), aph(3′)-III), macrolides (erm(C), mph(C)), and chloramphenicol (cat variants) appeared in various combinations across the collection. On the virulence side, genes for α- and γ-hemolysins (hla, hlgABC) were universal, and nearly all strains possessed phage-encoded immune-evasion factors (sak, scn). The total count of virulence genes ranged from ten to fourteen per genome, peaking in two particularly gene-rich isolates. Our findings highlight the genetic diversity of MRSA, where multidrug resistance and a broad toxin arsenal coexist. Moreover, this study underscores the speed and reliability of in silico screening tools for antimicrobial-resistance surveillance and comparative genomics. Future work should integrate laboratory assays and patient data to link these genomic profiles to clinical outcomes.

Abstract

Infectious diseases are diseases caused by organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. One of the causes of most infectious diseases comes from bacterial infections, including Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Treatment for bacterial infections is generally by administering antibiotics. Treatment using plants containing antibacterials is an alternative that is being widely studied as an effort to kill bacteria other than the use of antibiotics. One of the plants cultivated and used as a medicinal plant is sandalwood (Santalum album). This research was carried out to evaluate the antibacterial activity of sandalwood leaf extract (Santalum album) against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The research utilized a true experimental framework with a posttest-only control group design, featuring treatment groups consisting of a Ciprofloxacin positive control, a sterile aquadest negative control, and varying concentrations of sandalwood leaf extract (ranging from 3.12% to 100%), each replicated three times against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus strains. Data analysis used the Kruskal-Wallis statistical test with a 95% degree of confidence. Based on the results of testing the antibacterial potential of sandalwood leaf extract on the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, it was shown that the extract had antibacterial potential. Analysis of the Kruskal-Wallis test showed that p = 0.002 was smaller than α = 0.05, showing there was a significant variation in the mean diameter of the inhibition zones between the different treatment groups. There is an antibacterial effectiveness of sandalwood leaf extract (Santalum album) against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of science education in the Merdeka Curriculum at the junior high school level. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. This study examines the learning tools, learning resources and media, and strategies applied by teachers in learning activities. The results of the study show that the implementation of science learning in the Merdeka Curriculum still encounters various obstacles, such as learning that tends to be teacher-centered, lack of utilization of laboratories and technology-based media, and teaching tools that are not fully in line with the principles of differentiation and project-based learning. Nevertheless, teachers try to adapt to the curriculum requirements by using Merdeka Curriculum textbooks and conducting simple discussions in class. This study concludes that the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in science learning requires support in the form of improving teacher skills, providing technology-based learning media, and developing innovative and contextual teaching tools. In this way, science learning can be more dynamic, meaningful, and in line with the characteristics of learning in the 21st century

Abstract

Buru Island is the endemic habitat of the Babirusa (Babyrousa babyrussa), facing pressures from human activities and habitat fragmentation. This study used the Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) modeling method to map the spatial distribution and assess the habitat suitability of Babirusa based on environmental variables including elevation, slope, temperature, land cover, distance to water, and distance from built-up areas. The results show that the habitat is divided into four main classes: Very Low at 24.95%, Low at 31.67%, Moderate at 29.71%, and High at 13.68% of the total island area, which requires more intensive management and protection. Elevation and distance from settlements have an influence but with relatively small contributions, indicating the species’ tolerance to elevation variation. This model provides a scientific basis for integrated conservation strategies, including habitat management, reduction of anthropogenic pressures, and sustainable spatial planning based on habitat suitability to ensure the long-term survival of Babirusa on Buru Island.

Abstract

In Maluku, mole crabs are only used as food ingredients by a small number of coastal communities. In Seilale Village, Nusaniwe District, Ambon Island, mole crabs (called "hotong") are processed by grilling or burning using skewers or thin wood, stirfried with kang vegetables, or fried. The regressions used are from the species of Hippa ovalis, H. marmorata and H. celaeno. This research was conducted in the waters of Rumahkay, Haria, and Amahusu Villages Morphometry results and growth analysis with allometry also showed a linear relationship on the growth of each species. Relevant results from the study showed a significant nutrient content in mole crab Hippa genus. Mole crabs Hippa genus which has abundant unsaturated fatty acid makes mole crabs have become an alternative that has a potentially high economic value, an alternative source of nutrition from fish, and an alternative source for income to the local community specifically in coastal sandy beach areas in general

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of karamunting leaf extract (Melastoma malabathricum L.) against bacteria isolated from eggshells. Eggshells are known as one of the primary contamination sources for foodborne bacteria, which can pose potential health risks to consumers. The ethanolic extract of karamunting leaves was tested using the disk diffusion method with amoxicillin as the positive control and 96% ethanol as the negative control. The inhibition zones were measured after 24 hours of incubation at 37°C. The results showed that karamunting leaf extract produced an inhibition zone of 3.35 mm, categorized as weak antibacterial activity. In contrast, the positive control, amoxicillin, generated a much larger inhibition zone of 22.89 mm, while the negative control showed no inhibition. The antibacterial effect of the extract is believed to result from the presence of bioactive secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, tannins, saponins, steroids, and phenolic compounds, which function by disrupting bacterial cell walls, altering membrane permeability, denaturing proteins, and inhibiting enzyme activity. Although the antibacterial potential of karamunting leaf extract is lower than that of synthetic antibiotics, it still demonstrates promising potential as a natural antibacterial agent that is safer and more environmentally friendly. Further studies are recommended to assess the activity at different extract concentrations and solvent fractions to achieve more optimal antibacterial effects.
