Abstract

The diversity of aquatic insects serves as an important indicator for assessing the quality of agricultural ecosystems, particularly in organic and conventional (non-organic) rice fields. Organic farming, which relies on natural inputs, tends to support greater biodiversity, whereas conventional farming may reduce it due to the use of chemical substances.   This   study   aimed   to   examine   the diversity, dominance, evenness, and environmental factors influencing the presence of aquatic insects in two types of agricultural systems in Tulung Agung Village, Lampung. The results showed that the organic   rice   fields   had   higher   aquatic   insect diversity, with a diversity index (H') of 2.3386, a dominance index (D) of 0.058, and an evenness index (E) of 0.9411. In contrast, the conventional rice fields showed a diversity index (H') of 0.9743, a dominance index (D) of 0.5188, and an evenness index (E) of 0.3312. Environmental factors had no significant effect on aquatic insects in the organic fields, but showed a strong correlation in the conventional fields, with a correlation value (r) of 0.905 and a significance value (p) of 0.035. These findings highlight that organic farming systems are better able to support a more stable aquatic ecosystem balance.

Abstract

Hypercholesterolemia is influenced by excessive fat consumption. To lower blood cholesterol levels, both drug and non-drug therapy can be carried out. One plant that has the potential to lower cholesterol levels is the buni plant (Antidesma bunius (L.) Spreng.). This study aims to determine the effect of buni fruit juice and the most effective juice concentration in lowering total cholesterol levels in hypercholesterolemic male mice. This study used a completely randomized design consisting of 5 groups, each repeated 5 times. The experimental animals were given a High Fat Diet (MDTL) containing propylthiouracil (PTU) at a dose of 1.8 mg/200g BW suspended in 2% Pure Grain Alcohol (PGA) and 10 mL/KgBW of quail egg yolk. The treatments consisted of a negative control (standard feed); a positive control (MDTL and 0.52 mg simvastatin); P1 (MDTL and 1 ml of 20% buni fruit juice); P2 (MDTL and 1 ml of 25% berry juice); and P3 (MDTL and 1 ml of 30% berry juice). Treatments P1, P2, and P3 were administered MDTL for 14 days, followed by berry juice for another 14 days. The results were total blood cholesterol levels. Data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA followed by Duncan's test at a confidence level of α = 5%. The results showed that administration of 30% berry juice reduced total cholesterol levels in male mice with hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract

The Javan gibbon (Hylobates moloch) is a primate endemic to Java that has been classified as endangered by the IUCN since 2015. Conservation efforts are carried out through breeding and ex-situ conservation. This study aims to analyze the daily behavior patterns of Javan gibbons at Ragunan Wildlife Park and assess their relationship with animal management, including cage conditions, feed, and enrichment as a basis for recommendations to improve animal welfare. The study was conducted on two male and female individuals using the scan sampling method, focusing on feeding, resting, moving, and social activities. Data analysis was conducted using qualitative-descriptive methods. The results showed that the dominant activity was movement (≥20%), followed by resting (15%), feeding (≥6%), and socializing (≥3%). Activity increased in the afternoon between 2:50 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. This pattern differs from the behavior of gibbons in their natural habitat, which has the potential to reduce their natural abilities and hinder the success of their release. This study provides important empirical data on the behavioral adaptation of Javan gibbons in captivity, which has rarely been studied in the context of ex-situ conservation in Indonesia.

Abstract

Infectious diseases are a significant public health issue in both developed and developing countries. Infectious diseases are caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, which cause high rates of morbidity and mortality. Treatment of infectious diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria generally uses antibiotics, but the continuous use of antibiotics can have side effects such as the occurrence of antibiotic resistance.  Diplazium esculentum is one of the medicinal plants that is often used to treat infectious diseases.  The content of secondary metabolite compounds contained in D. esculentum includes saponins, steroids, alkaloids, tannins, glycosides, triterpenoids, phenols, flavones, and flavonoids.  This study aims to determine the effect of bacteriostatic activity of ethanol extract of D. esculentum and its effective concentration in inhibiting the growth of pathogens S. aureus and E. coli.  The study was conducted using a Randomised Complete Block Design (RAKL) with four concentrations of ethanol extract of vegetable fern, namely 20%, 33%, 43%, and 50%.  As a positive control, the antibiotic chloramphenicol was used and the negative control used sterile distilled water.  Data in the form of inhibition zone diameter formed from each treatment were analysed using Kruskal Wallis non-parametric test and continued with Mann Whitney Post Hoc test.  The results of the study showed that the concentration of ethanol extract of D. esculentum showed bacteriostatic activity against S. aureus bacteria at concentrations of 43% and 50% with inhibition zones of 6.52 mm and 5.55 mm, as well as E. coli bacteria at concentrations of 43% and 50% with inhibition zones of 5.11 mm and 4.37 mm, but was not effective in inhibiting the growth of S. aureus and E. coli bacteria.

Abstract

Purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is one of the local food sources rich in anthocyanins and has great potential to be developed through tissue culture techniques. This study aimed to determine the effect of Benzyl Amino Purine (BAP) on the growth of purple sweet potato explants cultured in vitro using Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium. The experiment was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four BAP concentration treatments (0, 2.5, 3.5, and 5.0 mg/L), each replicated five times, resulting in 20 experimental units. The explants used were stem segments of purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.). The explants were then cultured on solid Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing BAP for 8 weeks. Observed parameters included plant height, callus height, and the percentage of explants forming callus. The results showed that the 3.5 mg/L BAP treatment (N2) produced the best growth, with an average plant height of 2.7 mm, callus height of 1.6 mm, and 100% callus formation. Statistical analysis indicated that BAP application had a significant effect on all observed parameters. Therefore, a concentration of 3.5 mg/L BAP is recommended as the optimal treatment for in vitro propagation of purple sweet potato.

Abstract

The use of biolarvicides is an alternative biological agent to replace synthetic insecticides, namely entomopathogenic bacteria. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of Bacillus thuringiensis and Serratia marcescens extracts on mortality and morphological changes in Aedes aegypti larvae. This study was a 2-factor experimental study using a Randomized Block Design (RBD). The first factor, the type of entomopathogenic bacteria, namely B. thuringiensis and S. marcescens. The second factor, the concentration of bacterial extracts (60 mL, 70 mL, 80 mL), negative control (sterile distilled water). Mortality data were processed using ANOVA at the 5% level. The results showed that the administration of B. thuringiensis and S. marcescens extracts caused mortality and morphological changes in Ae. aegypti larvae. B. thuringiensis at concentrations of 60 mL, 70 mL, and 80 mL caused 100% larval mortality, while S. marcescens at concentrations of 60 mL resulted in 70%, 53%, and 50% at concentrations of 70 mL and 80 mL, respectively. Morphological changes in larvae were indicated by changes in color, texture, and damage to the digestive system. It was concluded that B. thuringiensis has the highest potential as an entomopathogenic agent compared to S. marcescens in causing mortality and morphological changes in Ae. aegypti larvae.

Abstract

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a medicinal plant containing active compounds, mainly curcumin, which may affect fish embryonic development, an essential stage for species survival. A previous study reported that exposure to chlorpyrifos affected the embryonic development of the wader pari fish Rasbora lateristriata, confirming its suitability as a local model for embryotoxicity testing. Based on this evidence, the present study evaluated the potential toxic effects of turmeric extract during the early stages of embryo development. Toxicity was assessed using turmeric extract concentrations of 50 ppm and 100 ppm in wader fish (Rasbora sp.). The methods included turmeric solution preparation, broodstock selection and spawning, egg collection, treatment grouping, and embryo observation at 0, 24, 48, and 72 hours. Observed parameters were pigmentation, mortality rate, and embryonic heart rate. The results showed that turmeric extract at both 50 ppm and 100 ppm exhibited toxic effects on Rasbora sp. embryos, especially on pigmentation. Higher curcumin concentrations were associated with lower pigmentation levels. Embryo mortality reached 11.1% at 50 ppm and 5.56% at 100 ppm, caused by embryotoxic effects that disrupted embryonic development and induced egg coagulation. Heart rate was slightly lower than the control group, indicating curcumin’s influence on cardiac activity and cellular signaling pathways.
