Abstract

River pollution is a major problem in the water quality crisis due to certain factors, including human activities around the river ecosystem which are strongly suspected to be the main cause of the problem. The purpose of this study was to determine the diversity and abundance of macrozoobenthos and the level of water pollution in the Way Semah Pesawaran River. The research was conducted using three indicators of water quality: biological indicators in the form of macrozoobenthos, physical indicators in the form of temperature and brightness, and chemical indicators in the form of pH, DO, and BOD. Sampling was carried out at 3 stations with two points, namely the right bank and left bank points at each station. The method of determining the location and data collection using the purposive sampling method. Based on the results of the analysis of abundance, diversity, uniformity and dominance of macrozoobenthos obtained the ecosystem of Way Semah River waters showed mild to moderate polluted conditions with a range of 1.21 - 1.87

Abstract

Water pollution refers to the introduction of living organisms, substances, or other components by human activities that can degrade water quality or cause environmental harm. Gonad maturity level indicates the stage of readiness of prospective broodstock for the spawning process, assessed through visual and histological methods. This study aimed to assess water quality in the Way Awi River based on fish community structure and to evaluate the impact of sewage discharge on fish gonad maturity levels in Bandar Lampung's Way Awi River. Conducted between November and December 2023, this research sampled five points along the Way Awi River. Chemical analysis included pH, BOD, COD, and DO, while physical parameters such as temperature and TSS (Total Suspended Solids) were also analyzed. The findings indicate that the Way Awi River is moderately polluted, with no significant impact on the community structure, although there is a noticeable decrease in fish numbers from upstream to downstream. This study underscores the importance of understanding the risks associated with continuous disposal of waste into rivers.

Abstract

Staining is an important stage in preparing microscopic preparations so that the histological structure can be observed clearly. Hematoxylin-Eosin is the most widely used dye. Unfortunately, eosin is a synthetic chemical compound that is carcinogenic. To reduce the health and environmental impacts of eosin compounds, it is important to look for alternative dyes from natural ingredients. Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L.) is a plant known to contain anthocyanins which can be used as eosin substitutes. This study aims to determine the potential of hibiscus extract as a substitute for eosin in histological staining. In this study, unstained liver tissue preparations from mice (Mus musculus) were used. Hibiscus extract dye was compared with eosin as a control. The color quality of the tissue preparations was used as an experimental parameter. The results of the microscopic assessment showed that liver tissue stained with Hibiscus extract at concentrations of 60% and 80% was less good than eosin. However, because tissue can stain reddish, hibiscus extract has the potential to be used as an eosin substitute. The right extraction method may be able to produce intact anthocyanin so that it can color the tissue optimally.

Abstract

Indonesia is the world’s largest producer of Crude Palm Oil (CPO). Tree rats (Rattus tiomanicus (Miller, 1900)) pose a significant problem in palm oil plantations by eating and damaging the mesocarp, reducing fruit weight, and affecting the Oil Extraction Rate (OER) and Free Fatty Acid (FFA) levels in CPO. This study investigates the impact of rat bites on CPO quality, focusing on OER and FFA levels. Using an experimental method, palm fruit groups with varying rat attack levels were compared to rested (3 days delayed in transport) and other pest attacked fruit groups. Results from a one-way ANOVA and Post Hoc LSD test showed that severe rat attacks (>50%) significantly affected OER and FFA compared to other conditions.

Abstract

Cellulolytic bacteria can hydrolyze substrates containing cellulose such as mangrove litter trapped in mangrove sediment by producing cellulase enzymes to break down cellulose into simpler compounds. The purpose of this study is to obtain bacterial isolates from mangrove sediment that have the ability to produce cellulase enzymes and to determine the activity of the cellulase enzymes they produce in degrading cellulose substrates. The methods used in this study include isolation of cellulolytic bacteria from mangrove sediments, qualitative enzyme activity test, standard curve of bacterial growth, bacterial growth curve for 24 hours, standard glucose curve, and quantitative enzyme activity test using a spectrophotometer. From the isolation results obtained 18 candidate cellulolytic bacteria with different macroscopic and microscopic characteristics. Based on the results of the qualitative enzyme test for 4 days on Zobell media added with 0.5% CMC, enzyme activity index was obtained from 5 isolates. The highest activity index of isolate M2 was on day 3 that was 1.96, isolate M3 had the highest activity index on day 4 that was 4.29, isolate M4 was 2.02 on day 4, isolate M6 was 4.39 on day 4, and isolate M13 was 3.87 on day 4. Furthermore, 3 potential iso-lates were selected based on the highest average index of enzyme activity for quantitative tests. The quantitative test results from the crude extract of the cellulase enzyme for 7 days on 0.5% CMC substrate showed that the highest hydrolysis activity occurred on day 5 by isolate M6, that was 0.151 U/mL. The other two cellulolytic isolates, isolate M3 and isolate M13, had the highest cellulose hydrolysis activity, 0.129 U/mL and 0.137 U/mL.

Abstract

The neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an indicator of the presence of a systemic inflammatory response. The neutrophil lymphocyte ratio parameter was calculated by comparing the number of neutrophils and the number of lymphocytes. Patients with severe COVID-19 who did not survive were found to have a higher neutrophil lymphocyte ratio compared to patients with a mild prognosis. Thisstudy uses a descriptive method, which aims to describe the value of the neutrophil lymphocyte ratio in COVID-19 patients based on the severity of symptoms. The average value of high neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in COVID-19 patients occurred in the severe (6.12%) and critical (10.78%) categories. The average value of high neutrophils (Neutrophilia) in COVID-19 patients occurred in the severe (76%) and critical (82%) categories. The average value of low lymphocytes (lymphocytopenia) in COVID-19 patients occurred in the severe 17% and critical 12% category. The NLR value in patients with the severe category had an increase in the NLR value twice thenormal value, while in the critical category had an increase in the NLR value three times the normal value.

Abstract

Marine pollution from ocean garbage, particularly plastic waste, has significant ecological impacts globally. Plastic debris dominates marine pollution and graadually breaks down into microplastics. This study analyzes microplastic particle count, shapes, and polymer types in water and sediiment around Pasaran Island. Research was conducted across four stations (Station I, II, III, and IV).  Microplastics in seawater samples were extracted using solutions of 70% ethanol, 30% H2O2, and 30% NaCl. Sediments were treated with FeSO4 (0.05 M), NaCl, and 30% H2O2. Particle counts and shapes were identified with a digital microscope and polymer types were determined via Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). Microplastic forms observed included fibers, fragments, film, and pellets, with fibers being the most abundant and pellets the least. Detected polymers included polyamide (PA), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), originating from both local plasstic use and seawater flow around Pasaran Island.

Abstract

Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are common in regions with high rates of anemia, particularly in low-income countries where poor nutrition is prevalent. Children attending school in these areas are most vulnerable to anemia. Both anemia and STH infections can negatively affect children's physical development, school attendance, and learning abilities. This study aims to examine the relationship between STH infections and anemia in children. A systematic review and meta-analysis following PRISMA guidelines were conducted. Articles were selected based on eligibility criteria defined using the PICO model: Population = Primary School Children, Intervention = STH infections, Comparison = No STH infections, Outcome = Anemia. The article search covered publications from 2002 to 2024 across databases such as PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Springer Link, Hindawi, and PLOS One. Keywords used included "STH," "Anaemia," "STH AND Children," and "STH AND Anaemia." Inclusion criteria consisted of full-text, cross-sectional studies published in English that discussed the impact of STH on anemia in school-aged children. The final results were expressed as adjusted odds ratios (aOR) from multivariate analysis. Data were analyzed using RevMan 5.4, and meta-analysis was performed on 12 articles from Africa and Asia. The results indicated that children infected with STH had significantly lower hemoglobin levels, leading to anemia (aOR = 2.23, 95% CI = 1.07 to 4.65, p = 0.03). This study demonstrates that STH infections contribute to anemia in school-aged children.

Abstract

The progestin hormone is used as male hormonal contraception. Giving progestin to normal men can  suppress libido and testicular function effectively, and reduce testosterone levels so that it can interferer with the spermatogenesis process. This study is about the effectiveness of black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) extract on morphology and number of spermatozoa in mice (Mus musculus L.)  induced by progestin. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) which has divided into four treatment groups, each group contained 5 mice and treated according to the experimental design. Group P0 as a control (given H2O), P1 (induced by 1,25 mg progestin), P2 (induced by 1,25 mg progestin and 3.33mg/Kg BW ethanol extract of black pepper), and P3 (induced by 1,25 mg progestin and 3.33mg/Kg BW distilled water extract of black pepper). The Progestin hormone is given twice (week 1 and week 2). Black pepper extract was given daily for 35 days. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and continued with the LSD test with a level of 5%. The result showed that giving of ethanol extract and distilled water extract from black pepper could improve the normal morphology and number of spermatozoa in mice after induced by progestin hormone so that fertility in men increases.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze insect diversity in organic rice fields planted with white and black rice varieties. Yellow pan traps were used to collect insects, with six traps placed in each field. The traps, consisting of 12 cm yellow bowls filled with a 70% alcohol-soap solution, were mounted on 30 cm bamboo sticks and secured with double-sided tape. Sampling was conducted over nine weeks at three intervals (weeks 3, 6, and 9), with three replicates per week. Collected insects were carefully removed using a brush, preserved in bottles containing 70% alcohol, and labeled for plot identification. In the first week, insects in white rice fields included Asilidae, Tachinidae, Chrysomelidae, Syrphidae, and Tipulidae, while black rice fields contained Asilidae, Tachinidae, Sphecidae, Ichneumonidae, Chrysomelidae, and Coccinellidae. By the second week, white rice fields had Tachinidae, Asilidae, Sphecidae, Chrysomelidae, and Hesperiidae, while black rice fields had Tachinidae, Hesperiidae, Ichneumonidae, and Chrysomelidae. In the third week, white rice fields hosted Tachinidae, Ichneumonidae, Hesperiidae, Sphecidae, Coccinellidae, and Chrysomelidae, whereas black rice fields included Tachinidae, Halictidae, and Sphecidae.
