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 use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education had been widely recognized and applied in various learning contexts. However, among biology teacher candidates, there were still differences in perception regarding its implementation. Some students perceived AI as an innovation that facilitated the learning process, while others believed that its use could lead to dependency and weaken critical thinking skills. Based on these conditions, this study aimed to determine the perceptions of biology teacher candidates regarding the challenges and potential of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in biology learning. This research was conducted in July 2025 using a quantitative approach with a descriptive research method. The population consisted of all active students of the Biology Education Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Raja Ali Haji Maritime University. The sampling technique employed was purposive sampling, resulting in a total of 170 respondents. The data were collected using a closed questionnaire and analyzed quantitatively through a descriptive approach. The results showed that the overall perception of biology teacher candidates toward the use of AI in biology learning was in the good category, with an average percentage of 58%. These findings indicated that students generally had a positive view of AI utilization as a supportive learning tool, although further reinforcement was still needed in understanding and practical application. This study implied that the integration of AI could contribute to the development of technology based biology learning strategies, particularly in enhancing the effectiveness, creativity, and quality of the learning process. In addition, the results contributed to the enrichment of scientific studies on AI integration in biology education and served as a foundation for future in depth research.

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.

Abstract

Fusarium oxysporum is one of the fungi that cause diseases in plants, which can result in losses for farmers. Efforts to control fungi using synthetic fungicides can lead to pathogen resistance, environmental pollution, and even poisoning in humans. Therefore, the search for new sources of natural fungicides is considered necessary because they are safer and pose minimal risk.This study aims to determine the activity of faloak stem extract (Sterculia quadrifida R.Br.) as a fungicidal biological agency in inhibiting the growth of Fusarium oxysporum. This research has been carried out at the Biology Laboratory, Muhammadiyah University of Kupang. This study is a laboratory experimental study with 4 treatments and 4 repeats, namely A as a control, B = 0.5 ml, C = 0.75 ml, and D = 1 ml. The parameter measured was the diameter of the colony of F.oxysporium during 5 days of incubation. Colony diameter data were analyzed with Anova and further tested with Duncan. The research results showed that the lowest average colony diameter was obtained from treatment D, measuring 1.01 cm, with very strong antifungal activity. Meanwhile, fungal colony growth in the control medium reached 8.5 cm, indicating no antifungal activity. Further analysis revealed that each treatment was significantly different. This indicates that faloak stem extract is capable of inhibiting the growth of F. oxysporum, and it can therefore be concluded that faloak stem extract has potential as a biological fungicidal agent against Fusarium oxysporum.

Abstract

The riparian zone of the Barito River is an important ecosystem, yet its utilization patterns by indigenous communities in the area remain relatively limited. The lack of comprehensive data may hinder efforts in documentation, conservation, and the management of biological resources based on local wisdom. This study aims to document the diversity of plant species used by the Dayak Bakumpai community along the banks of the Barito River in Sungai Gampa Village, Barito Kuala Regency, South Kalimantan. The research will be conducted from August to September 2025 using a descriptive exploratory design with both qualitative and simple quantitative approaches. Data will be collected through field observations using an exploration method to record morphological characteristics of roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits. The results identified nine plant species, namely Syzygium aqueanum (water apple), Syzygium polyanthum, Syzygium malaccense (L.) Merr., Psidium guajava (red guava and white guava), Melaleuca cajuputi Powell (large-leaf and small-leaf galam), and Melastoma candidum, with the genus Syzygium dominating in terms of species number. The utilization of these plants by the community includes fruit as a food source, traditional medicine, and essential oil production, demonstrating the close relationship between riparian plant diversity and the socio-economic needs of the local community. This inventory provides baseline data on the riparian flora of the Barito River, which is valuable for biodiversity documentation, vegetation monitoring, and community-based riparian area management.

Abstract

Science learning includes the study of concepts as well as practical activities. Practical science learning can run effectively when supported by adequate laboratory facilities and infrastructure. This study aims to develop a low-cost and environmentally friendly DNA isolation kit as an alternative medium for molecular biology practicum that is more affordable and easier to implement in educational laboratories. The kit development utilizes simple materials and equipment that are easily obtained from the surrounding environment, such as enzyme-based liquid detergent, table salt, natural enzyme extracts (pineapple, ginger, papaya leaves, and papain), and ethanol. The research method employed an experimental approach through stages of kit formula design, optimization of lysis buffer composition, and effectiveness testing on various plant and animal tissue samples, namely strawberry, broccoli, chicken liver, and chicken meat. The success parameters were observed through the visualization of DNA threads resulting from precipitation and the measurement of DNA quantity and purity using a spectrophotometer. The results indicate that all kit formulas were able to extract DNA with varying levels of success, where strawberry and chicken liver samples showed the clearest DNA thread visualization and the best color appearance. These findings demonstrate that a locally based, low-cost, and eco-friendly DNA isolation kit is effective as an alternative to commercial kits and has strong potential to support science learning, particularly in genetics and biotechnology, through more practical and economical laboratory activities.

Abstract

Cigarettes are tobacco products consumed by burning and inhaling the smoke, while white cigarettes are made from pure tobacco without additional additives, resulting in a distinctive aroma and a relatively lower nicotine content. Continuous exposure to cigarette smoke can increase the risk of respiratory disorders. This study aimed to analyze the effects of white cigarette smoke exposure on changes in lung histopathology of white rats. The study employed a completely randomized design using 24 male white rats weighing 250–300 g, divided into four treatment groups: control, exposure to smoke from one cigarette per day, two cigarettes per day, and three cigarettes per day. The observed parameters included bronchiolar diameter, bronchial diameter, and organ weight as parametric data, as well as lung damage scores as non-parametric data. Parametric data were analyzed using analysis of variance followed by Duncan’s test, while non-parametric data were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn’s test at a 5% significance level. The results showed that white cigarette smoke exposure had a significant effect on lung damage scores but did not significantly affect bronchiolar diameter, bronchial diameter, or organ weight. It can be concluded that exposure to white cigarette smoke causes lung tissue damage and narrowing of the respiratory tract diameter, which are included in changes in lung organ biometry.

Abstract

Buffalo milk (Bubalus bubalis) has a high protein and fat content and lower cholesterol than cow's milk, but this nutritional content causes a relatively short shelf life so that further processing is required, one of which is to make cheese. During the shelf life, the quality of cheese can decrease due to microbial activity, enzymatic reactions, and protein and fat degradation. Lactobacillus lactis and Lactobacillus bulgaricus bacteria produce proteolytic enzymes that can modify the protein and fat content in cheese. This study aims to analyze the effect of the combination of Lactobacillus lactis and Lactobacillus bulgaricus bacteria on the protein and fat content of buffalo milk cheese at different shelf lives. The study used four treatments without repetition with shelf lives of 1, 7, and 14 days. Protein content was analyzed using the Kjeldahl method and fat content using the Soxhlet method. Data on pH, water content, total LAB, protein content, and fat content were analyzed descriptively quantitatively, while organoleptic tests were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by the Mann–Whitney test (p<0.05). The results showed that the combination of bacteria increased protein and fat content as the shelf life increased, with the highest values ??being 47.44% and 32.94%, respectively, accompanied by a decrease in pH and total LAB. In conclusion, the addition of 3% Lactobacillus lactis and 3% Lactobacillus bulgaricus can improve the quality of buffalo milk cheese. This research contributes to the science of food fermentation regarding the role of the combination of Lactobacillus lactis and Lactobacillus bularicus bacteria on the chemical characteristics of buffalo milk cheese during shelf life.

Abstract

The use of plants as natural dyes represents important traditional knowledge of the Acehnese people, closely linked to cultural practices, crafts, and the use of local natural resources. However, modernization and synthetic dyes threaten the continuity of these traditions. This study aimed to examine the diversity of natural dye plants and their utilization patterns within Acehnese communities. A qualitative ethnobotanical approach was applied through field observations, semi-structured interviews with key informants, and documentation of dye-producing plant species. Data were analyzed descriptively by grouping plants based on parts used, colors produced, and forms of utilization. The findings show that various local plant species are used as natural dye sources, with leaves, bark, and fruits being the most commonly utilized parts. Utilization patterns are strongly connected to cultural needs and local wisdom in maintaining environmental balance. The study concludes that ethnobotanical knowledge of natural dyes persists despite modernization, highlighting its importance for preserving local knowledge and promoting environmentally friendly dye alternatives in cultural and applied science contexts.
