Abstract

Turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn.) is one of the natural sources that can be used to improve the appetizer of fish and this improve the growth of that fish. Research aimed to understand the growth and survival of C.carpio fed with turmeric-enriched pellets was conducted from March to May 2022. There were 4 different dosages of turmeric powder applied, namely T0 (Control), T1 (0.5 g/kg), T2 (1 g/kg), and T3 (1,5 g/kg). The fish was reared in a 25 L container completed with an aerator and filter. The density of fish was 15 fish/container, around 3 g BW and 6 cm TL. The fish was fed ad-satiation, 3 times/day and was reared for 49 days. Sampling was conducted once a week. Results showed that the survival rate of fish in all treatments was good, more than 95 %. The best growth was obtained in T3, as the fish achieved 6.29 g BW and 7.61 cm TL. While the fish of other treatments were lower, they were T0 (4.60 g; 6.72 cm), T1 (4.73 g; 6.85 cm), and T2 (4.99 g; 7.03 cm). The best FCR was also found in T3 (1.37) and the FCR of other treatments were T0 (2.28), T1 (2.10) and T2 (1.97) respectively. Data obtained indicate that the addition of turmeric powder improves the growth as well as the FCR of C.carpio.

Abstract

The purposive of this study, namely to find out how much and what are the sources of income for traditional fishermen's families in Belang District, and the expenses of traditional fishermen's families in Belang District. The Method used in this research is a survey method. The populations in this study are traditional fishermen in Belang District. The sampling method is using a quataed Multi-Stages Purposive Sampling, with the number of sample villages being 15 villages and the sample fishermen taken are fishermen with fishing rods and nets as much as 10% of the total population in each sample village. The data analysis used is descriptive qualitative and quantitative analysis. The standard of living of traditional fishing families is analyzed using the Engel index. Based on the results of the analysis, it is known that the income of traditional fishermen's families in Belang District comes from their main job as fishermen, side jobs outside the field of fisheries. The total incomes of traditional fishermen's families in Belang District on average for one year is Rp.53.394.000. There are two types of expenditures for traditional fishermen's families in Belang District, namely expenditures for food and expenditures for non-food such as clothing, housing, health, education, electricity, transportation and others. The total average expenditure for one year is Rp. 53.394.000, which is divided into expenditures for food needs of Rp. 32.284.500 and expenditures for non-food needs, which are Rp. 21.109.500. The results of the analysis of the Engel index are 60.46%, used to meet food needs only. The proportion for food, which is 39.54%. This is indicates that the standard of living of traditional fishermen in Belang District is still relatively low because more than half of their income is only sufficient to meet food needs.

Abstract

Coastal and marine areas have the potential for anthropogenic pollution. Solid waste, especially plastic, is a pollutant that contributes greatly to polluting coastal areas. Plastic will degrade into small sizes known as microplastics. The purpose of this study was to determine the content of microplastics in the Padang and Pariaman Coastal Waters, West Sumatra. This research was conducted in November 2021 in the seawaters of Padang Wisata Beach (Air Manis Beach and Muaro Lasak Beach) and Pariaman Beach (Kata Beach and Gandoriah Beach) of West Sumatra Province. Based on the results of the study, four types of microplastics were found, namely fiber, film, fragments, and granules. The type of fragment is the dominant type found, followed by the type of film, fiber and granules. Microplastic abundance at Air Manis Beach ranged from 616.67-2196.97 particles/m3, Muaro Lasak Beach 916.67-2396.67 particles/m3, Kata Beach 320.00-1190.00 particles/m3, and Gandoriah Beach 550, 00-1363.33 particles/m3. In general, at Padang Beach and Pariaman Beach by type, microplastic fragments were the most common type found with a percentage of 53%. The type of film is the second most common type (32%), followed by the type of fiber (11%) and the type of grain (4%). Microplastics were distributed in seawater at Padang Beach and Pariaman Beach with different abundances.

Abstract

α-amylase has a pivotal role in catalyzing the cleavage of α-1,4-glycosidic bonds of polysaccharides to produce oligosaccharides. The inhibition of α-amylase delays the breakdown of carbohydrates, causing a reduction of blood glucose levels absorption in diabetes patients. The exploration of α-amylase inhibitors has attracted because society assumed that utilizing herbal medicine reduced the side effect of prescribed drugs. Mangrove from genus Ceriops have been used as antidiabetic, but the mechanism as α-amylase inhibitors has not been reported. Consumption of leaves extract of C.decandra reduced blood glucose level in diabetic rats, and triterpenoids have been identified from the leaves. With this in mind, this study aims to predict the molecular interactions between α-amylase (PDB ID: 4GQR) and the inhibitors, triterpenoid identified in C.decandra leaves, and to evaluate the potency of triterpenoid as α-amylase inhibitor. There are five triterpenoids identified in C.decandra leaves used as ligand tests, including lupenone, betulin, betulonic acid, betulinic acid, and lupeol. The descriptive method was applied in this investigation. This study was carried out from June to September 2022. Based on the molecular interactions, the binding affinity of triterpenoids was lower than the native ligand and control ligand. Lupenone, lupeol, betalonic acid, and betulinic acid inhibited α-amylase activity by non-competitive inhibition. It was predicted that betulin inhibited α-amylase activity through competitive inhibition.
