Abstract

Complex Basic Biology course materials and learning processes that still use manual textbooks make it difficult for students to follow the learning process on campus. Learning videos are audio-visual media used to deliver educational or training materials in an interesting and effective way. Through learning videos, the delivery of information becomes more interactive, attracts attention, and makes it easier to understand complex concepts. Biology learning videos are made with the aim of making it easier for students to understand the material so that they can increase their interest and motivation in learning biology, especially Basic Biology courses. This study involved 76 undergraduate biology students taking a Basic Biology course. It used both qualitative and quantitative methods. Data was collected through a questionnaire where students evaluated the learning videos. The validity test showed a significant value of 0.00 < 0.05, and the reliability test gave a value of 0.074 > 0.07, meaning the questionnaire was valid and reliable. The results of the data analysis showed that more than 80% of students agreed and strongly agreed that the biology learning videos helped them understand the material better. In conclusion, learning videos can increase students' interest and motivation in studying biology, especially in Basic Biology courses.

Abstract

Mitochondria have long been known as the main energy producers in eukaryotic cells through oxidative phosphorylation. However, the development of molecular biology has revealed its multifaceted role in the regulation of apoptosis, cellular metabolism, calcium homeostasis, and immune responses. This study uses a meta-analysis approach to explore the various functions of mitochondria by integrating data from various scientific studies. Literature searches were conducted through scientific databases, namely publish or perish. Data obtained 300 with relevant studies consisting of 24 articles, and 1 book according to the inclusion criteria. The results of the analysis show that the complexity and contextual nature of mitochondrial function, which depends on cell type and physiological conditions, indicate its adaptability in maintaining cell survival. Mitochondria are multifunctional organelles that not only play a role as a center for energy production through oxidative phosphorylation, but are also involved in various important cellular processes, namely as a central regulator of cell vitality, controlling processes ranging from survival to programmed cell death. In addition, mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with various pathological conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic disorders, and cancer. This comprehensive review provides new insights into the importance of mitochondria in both normal and pathological states and emphasizes the importance of a deeper understanding of mitochondrial mechanisms for the development of targeted therapies.

Abstract

Students' difficulties in understanding the concept of classification of living things, especially in grouping living things according to taxonomic levels and remembering scientific names, are the background to this study. Biology learning that tends to be teacher-centered and lacks direct interaction results in low student involvement in the scientific process. This study aims to develop and test the validity of Student Worksheets (LKPD) integrated with Augmented Reality (AR) technology based on the Inquiry Learning model as an interactive media to improve students' science process skills. The method used is research and development (R&D) with the ADDIE model, limited to the development stage. LKPD was developed based on a needs analysis at Wira Bhakti Gorontalo Integrated High School. Data were obtained through interviews with teachers and validation by media experts and material experts, which were analyzed descriptively quantitatively using a Likert scale. The validation results showed an average value of 86% (media) and 93% (material), both of which are included in the very valid category. Revisions were made based on validator input to improve visual aspects, content, and instructions for use. Thus, this LKPD is declared very valid and suitable for use as a learning medium to support students' science process skills in understanding the classification of living things.

Abstract

Room humidity that has long-term adverse effects and the lack of STEAM biomimicry-based science learning aids are the main problems. This study aims to test the effectiveness of the Humiditus tool as a moisture absorber in a closed room and analyze its potential as a STEAM biomimicry-based science teaching aid on the material of living creature adaptation. Humiditus was developed with biomimicry stages that adapt the shape and adaptability of the cactus and the STEAM components in it. The study used a quantitative experimental approach and a descriptive qualitative approach. The sample consisted of two closed rooms that were given different treatments, namely the use of the Humiditus tool and ordinary silica gel. Humidity data were obtained using a hygrometer for three days and analyzed using an independent t-test. The results showed that the Humiditus tool reduced humidity significantly with an average decrease of 22.67% and a significance value of 0.019 (p < 0.05). In addition to being functionally effective, this tool is considered to have strong potential as a science teaching aid because it presents the principle of living creature adaptation in a real and contextual form. Thus, Humiditus not only acts as a technology but also as a teaching aid that supports the learning achievements of the Independent Curriculum on the material on the adaptation of living things.

Abstract

Ethnobotany is a science that studies the relationship between humans and plants and their traditional use. One of the ethnobotanical studies is found in the Javanese people in Berongkal Hamlet, which is one of the community groups that still preserves traditional ceremonies, one of which is related to the culture of planting rice. This study aims to study ethnobotany in the wiwitan tradition in Berongkal Village. The research was carried out for 2 months (May - June 2025) in Sidomakmur Hamlet, Berongkal Village, Pagelaran District, Malang Regency. This type of research is exploratory descriptive. The research instrument is a questionnaire used for interviews. The stages of the research include determining informants, interviewing informants, taking plant samples, and identifying plants. Data collection is done by means of observation, interviews and documentation. The data analysis technique is qualitative. The results of the study show that in the Javanese community in Berongkal Village there is a traditional wiwitan ceremony related to the culture of planting rice with one of the activities carried out, namely placing offerings near the rice fields that have been planted with rice. In carrying out the traditional ceremony, as many as 15 types of plants and other media such as mineral water and jugs are used. The part of the plant that is most widely used in the wiwitan tradition is the flower. In addition to the Javanese, several types of plants are also used by other community groups. This indicates the existence of ethnic closeness between these community groups.

Abstract

Spotted deer (Axis axis) is one of the protected deer species in Indonesia. Spotted deer have been listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, with a conservation status of LC (Least Concern). In the conservation of spotted deer, failure often occurs due to diseases that arise due to conditions that are not in accordance with their natural habitat. One of the main problems is parasitic infections. This study aims to determine the type, prevalence and intensity of Platyhelminthes in spotted deer (Axis axis) in Langsa City Forest Park, Aceh. The samples used were the feces of 13 spotted deer in Langsa City Forest Park, Aceh. The type of research is descriptive quantitative with observation methods. Data analysis used is a description of prevalence and intensity values. The results showed that there were 3 types of Platyhelminthes, namely Schistosoma intercalatum and Schistosoma mansoni from the Schistosomatidae family, Strigeatida order, Trematoda class and Taenia sp. from the Taeniidae family, Cyclopphyllidea order, Cestoda class. Schistosoma intercalatum has a prevalence of 23.07% (frequent) and intensity of 1.3 (light parasite), Schistosoma mansoni has a prevalence of 15.38% (frequent) and intensity of 1 (light parasite) and Taenia sp. has a prevalence of 38.46% (general) and intensity of 1.4 (light parasite).

Abstract

Capsinoids are capsaicinoid analog compounds that have a low level of pungency. Although capsinoid has a low level of pungency, it has a role as a bioactive compound like capsaicinoid, but more comfortable to apply because it does not cause a burning sensation. The purpose of writing this article as a literature study on capsinoids related to biosynthesis, various mutations in the pAMT gene, the potential of capsinoids in the health and the food industry. This article was written based on a literature review of various international journal sources with 80% review sources published in the last 10 years which are then organized in a structured manner.  The capsinoid biosynthesis process is similar to the capsaicinoid biosynthesis pathway which is formed through the combination of phenylpropanoid and fatty acid biosynthesis pathways. Mutations in the pAMT gene cause no addition of amide bonds to vanillin to form vanyllilamine, but form vanyllil alcohol which will condense with fatty acids to form capsinoids. Based on the results of several studies on chili pepper accessions with low pungency, pAMT gene mutation features are specific in the form of single nucleotide substitutions, short nucleotide insertions and insertions in the form of transposons and several pAMT mutant alleles have been detected. Capsinoids have antiobesity, antioxidant, antitumor and antidiabetic properties that have the potential to be utilized in the health sector. In addition, vanylil alcohol contained in capsinoids potentially be utilized in the food sector to provide aroma to food.

Abstract

One form of local culture that contains scientific wisdom is the wiwitan tradition related to ecology, astronomy, and natural management that is still relevant to modern scientific concepts. However, not all elements of society know about the wiwitan tradition, especially the younger generation. The wiwitan tradition, which is local wisdom, is an ancestral heritage that must be preserved, one of which is through an ethnoscience approach. The wiwitan tradition has undergone transformation along with globalization. The study of the transformation of wiwitan culture in the context of modern science has never been studied. This study aims to study the transformation of wiwitan culture in the context of modern science, using an ethnoscience approach. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method using interview techniques with farmers who have knowledge of the wiwitan tradition. Data analysis uses techniques of grouping, describing, classifying, and interpreting data. The results of the study indicate that ethnoscience studies on the wiwitan tradition are found in the types of offering plants related to biodiversity, implementation before harvest time related to the natural cycle and astronomy, values ??contained in the tradition related to sustainable agriculture. This study emphasizes the importance of integrating local knowledge in the context of modern science to maintain local wisdom and enrich science. This research is expected to continue in other ethnoscience studies of local wisdom.

Abstract

Wellhead has a vital role for humans. Conservation efforts are key to maintaining springs. However, local wisdom-based conservation, particularly cultural practices, has received more attention than science-based conservation. This study aims to determine the cultural ritual practices at Sendang Tirto Kamandanu and their role in conservation. The study was conducted from November 2024 to April 2025 using a qualitative approach with ethnographic methods in Menang, Pagu, Kediri. The data consisted of recordings and photographs obtained through interviews using the snowball sampling technique, involving the head of the cultural and nature conservation division of the Kediri Regency Tourism Office, the head of the Village Consultative Body (BPD) of Menang Village, the site caretaker (juru kunci), and visitors. The data were then compared across respondents to identify similarities, differences, and emerging findings within the studied population. Finally, conclusions were drawn and presented in a narrative form. The results revealed five ethnoconservation practices at Sendang Tirto Kamandanu: ritual mandi suci, nimba banyu, pengkain kuning, sesrawung ringin sanga, and 1 suro. Through these cultural ritual practices, Sendang Tirto Kamandanu has been well maintained and conserved to date. This research is expected to enrich ethnoconservation studies in environmental conservation education, especially at Nusantara PGRI Kediri University.
