Abstract

The use of medicinal plants by indigenous communities represents a form of traditional knowledge that serves as a primary alternative for healthcare, especially in areas with limited access to formal medical services. In the Mount Inerie region, Ngada Regency, traditional healing practices are still preserved through the utilization of various local plant species. This study aims to describe the types of medicinal plants used by communities in five villages in Jerebuu District Ngada, Regency as well as to explore the methods of preparation and the cultural values associated with their use. A descriptive method with an ethnobotanical approach was employed, involving semi-structured interviews with 107 respondents, direct observations, and literature studies. The results revealed 33 species of plants used for traditional medicine, with parts such as leaves, rhizomes, fruits, and bark being utilized. Preparation methods include boiling, burning, pounding, or combining with traditional rituals. Knowledge about medicinal plants is passed down orally and remains a primary reference for the community in addressing various health issues. These findings underscore the importance of preserving local knowledge as part of biodiversity conservation and the development of health systems rooted in local wisdom.

Abstract

Afuik Beach, Dualaus Village, Belu Regency, is a coastal area that has the potential for macroalgae biodiversity. This research was conducted to determine the species richness, diversity, and utilization of macroalgae by the local community. The research was conducted in February–March 2025 using the line transect method with 20 transect lines of 25 m in length and a questionnaire survey to the community. Data were analyzed quantitatively using diversity, richness, dominance, uniformity, abundance and Importance Value Index indices, while qualitatively based on questionnaire results. The research results found nine types of macroalgae from three divisions: Chlorophyta (Caulerpa racemosa, C. sertularoides, Halimeda opuntia, H. cuneata, Boergesenia forbesii), Phaeophyta (Sargassum binderi, Padina gymnospora, Turbinaria ornata), and Rhodophyta (Gracilaria coronopifolia). The total number of individuals obtained was 836 with the dominance of Sargassum binderi (364 individuals). The diversity index value (H’=1.54) is classified as moderate, the richness index (1.18) is low, the dominance index (0.287) is low, the evenness index (0.171) is small, the total abundance index (0.176 ind/m2), and the highest INP (70.87). The questionnaire results showed that the community only uses G. coronopifolia as a local vegetable (“Gama/Kama”), with limited economic contribution. Each type found has different characteristics and benefits, the quality of the water also has a great influence on diversity so that the quality of a suitable water environment is a determining factor for the growth and development of macroalgae.

Abstract

Biology education, particularly in the topic of biodiversity, faces challenges in improving student learning outcomes. One effective approach is problem-based learning (PBL), which promotes active student involvement in solving real-world problems. This study examines the impact of PBL on Student Learning Outcomes in biodiversity at the high school level. A quasi-experimental design was conducted at SMA Negeri 5, involving two classes selected through purposive sampling: an experimental class using PBL and a control class taught using conventional methods. Learning outcomes were assessed via pretests, posttests, N-Gain analysis, and ANCOVA. The results showed a significant improvement in the experimental class. The average pretest score for the experimental class was 45.63, while the posttest score increased to 80.1, resulting in an N-Gain of 0.37 (moderate). In contrast, the control class had a pretest score of 45.31 and a posttest score of 75, with an N-Gain of 0.49. Despite the control class showing a slightly higher N-Gain, the PBL model was more effective in improving learning outcomes, with 93.75% of students in the experimental class achieving mastery compared to 65.63% in the control class. ANCOVA results revealed a p-score of 0.002, confirming that PBL significantly enhances student learning outcomes.

Abstract

The utilization of lignocellulosic biomass as an alternative energy source and industrial material is still constrained by the limited availability of efficient cellulase-producing microorganisms. Mahogany forest soil, which contains leaf litter rich in cellulose, has the potential to serve as a habitat for cellulolytic bacteria with unique characteristics. This study aimed to isolate and characterize cellulolytic bacteria from mahogany forest soil in South Central Timor Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. The research employed an exploratory laboratory design with purposive sampling to collect soil samples beneath mahogany leaf litter at a depth of 0–20 cm. Bacterial isolation was conducted using the serial dilution method and cultivation on Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (CMC) medium. Characterization was performed based on colony morphology and Gram staining, while cellulolytic activity was assessed using the Congo Red method. Data were analyzed descriptively and quantitatively through colony counts using the plate count method and the determination of cellulolytic index values. The results revealed two bacterial isolates, namely AT1 (Gram-positive bacillus) and AT2 (Gram-positive coccus). Both isolates were able to produce clear zones, with cellulolytic indices of 1.96 and 1.26 mm, respectively. Isolate AT1 exhibited higher potential as a cellulase-producing bacterium. These findings highlight the potential of local cellulolytic bacteria as a promising source of cellulase enzymes for biotechnological applications.

Abstract

Cigarettes are tobacco products intended to be burned and inhaled, including white cigarettes, which use natural tobacco without additional ingredients, resulting in lower nicotine and tar levels. However, excessive smoking still poses a risk of organ damage, particularly to the liver, due to the presence of toxic chemical compounds in tobacco smoke. This study aimed to analyze the effects of white cigarette smoke exposure on the liver histopathology of white rats (Rattus norvegicus). A completely randomized design was used with 24 male rats (±200 g) divided into four groups: control (P0), exposure to one cigarette/day (P1), two cigarettes/day (P2), and three cigarettes/day (P3), each with six replications. The observed parameters included liver weight, hepatosomatic index, and the diameters of hepatic lobules, central veins, and hepatocytes. Data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by Duncan’s test at a 5% significance level. The results showed that exposure to white cigarette smoke had a negative effect on the diameter of the hepatic lobules, but did not have a negative effect on the other parameters. This study contributes to scientific understanding of the hepatotoxic effects of white cigarette smoke and provides a foundation for further research on the molecular mechanisms of liver injury caused by toxic compounds in tobacco smoke.

Abstract

Biology learning on the topic of the human movement system often encounters challenges, particularly the lack of instructional media capable of clearly visualizing concepts. As a result, students struggle to understand scientific terminology, physiological processes, and inter-organ relationships. To address this issue, an animated video-based learning media integrated with Problem Based Learning (PBL) was developed with the aim of enhancing students’ understanding and engagement. This study aims to determine the validity and students’ responses toward the PBL-based animated video on the human movement system for grade XI. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model up to the development stage. Research instruments included interviews, needs questionnaires, observation sheets, expert validation sheets, and student response questionnaires. Samples were selected using Simple Random Sampling. The validation results showed that the media was categorized as very valid by material experts (92%), media experts (92%), and instructional experts (94%). Students’ responses reached 86%, categorized as good. This study contributes to knowledge development by providing an alternative biology learning media that integrates digital animation with the PBL approach, while also enriching studies on technology integration in science education.

Abstract

The Kali Surabaya River is one of Indonesia's rivers impacted by pollution from industrial and domestic activities. Conventional water pollution analysis generally relies on physicochemical parameters and often overlooks biological factors. This study aims to analyze phytoplankton biological indices as bioindicators of water quality and integrate them with the results of the Pollution Index (PI). Water samples were collected using purposive sampling from four stations for the analysis of physicochemical parameters and phytoplankton identification using a 40 µm plankton net. The obtained data were analyzed by calculating the phytoplankton diversity index and the Pollution Index (PI). During the two-week research period, the phytoplankton community structure was dominated by Scenedesmus sp. (22.92%), Nitzschia sp. (12.76%), and Merismopedia sp. (10.75%), indicating organic pollution and eutrophication in the Kali Surabaya River. The PI results classified the river as slightly polluted (1.8 – 4.935). This study concludes that the integration of phytoplankton bioindicators with the pollution index analysis is effective in indicating pollution status and condition.
