Abstract

The decline in pineapple production in Lampung Tengah regency occurred in 2023, where the decline reached 16.4% of the pineapple production in 2022 (8.6 million quintals). The decline in pineapple production came from PT Great Giant Pineapple (PT GGP), with the problem of accumulation of pineapple plant litter polymers on ultisol land. The solution that emerged was the adding of biochar, vermicompost and Azotobacter (LOB), with various plowing depth. The aim of this research was to determine the dynamics of Azotobacter population (log CFU g-1) in the ultisol soil of PT GGP’s pineapple plantations which were influenced by plowing depth, compost mixture and interaction between them. The supporting variables were the temperature (0C), water content (%), pH and soil organic carbon (%). Data analysis included ANOVA (α 5%), Tukey’s HSD Test (α 5%) and Pearson R Test (α 1%). The results showed that the Azotobacter population in pre-planting (PT) samples differed significantly between plowing depth, compost mixture and the interaction of the two factors. Deep plow treatment (± 40 cm) with finely chopped pineapple litter (L1) and application of premium GGP’s compost + LOB (P3) was the best treatment, with 4,96 log CFU g-1 Azotobacter population. Azotobacter population correlated not significantly with any supporting variables.

Abstract

Sugarcane has been widely used to treat various diseases due to its metabolite content. Tissue culture is one method that can be used to produce metabolites and is an alternative biotechnology as a conservation strategy. This study aims to analyze the differences in metabolite content in sugarcane plantlets cultured with different media and subculture frequencies. Plantlets were extracted using the maceration method with 70% p.a. ethanol solvent. Metabolite analysis was carried out using a Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) instrument. Metabolite identification was carried out based on the NIST library. The results showed that the 10th subculture of sugarcane plantlets cultured on MS+Kinetin+Coconut Water media contained 5 metabolites, while the 11th subculture of plantlets cultured on MS+Kinetin+Tidiazuron media contained 7 metabolites. Differences in the type and number of metabolites indicate the influence of culture conditions on the metabolite profile of the plantlets. This study provides an initial overview of the potential of sugarcane tissue culture in the production of secondary metabolites.

This study aimed to analyze urine sediment among coffee drinkers in Titi Rantai Village, Medan Baru District, Medan City. A quantitative descriptive method was employed with 56 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Urine sediment examination was conducted microscopically to identify erythrocytes, leukocytes, epithelial cells, casts, crystals, and calcium oxalate crystals. Data were analyzed descriptively using frequency and percentage distributions. The results showed that 38 respondents (67.86%) had normal urine sediment, while 18 respondents (32.14%) exhibited abnormal urine sediment. The most common abnormalities were erythrocytes (51.79%), followed by calcium oxalate crystals (39.29%) and other crystals (37.50%). Calcium oxalate crystals were detected in 24 respondents (42.86%), whereas 32 respondents (57.14%) showed no calcium oxalate crystals. In conclusion, most coffee drinkers had normal urine sediment; however, abnormal findings, particularly erythrocytes and calcium oxalate crystals, were still observed and may indicate potential urinary tract disorders.

Abstract

Deep forest has emerged as a lightweight machine-learning approach for image classification, offering lower computational requirements than many deep learning models. However, its classification performance is highly dependent on the selection of the n_estimators parameter, and determining the optimal value remains a challenge. This study aimed to develop an Extended Deep Forest (EDF) algorithm capable of automatically selecting the optimal number of estimators based on training dataset characteristics. The proposed method employs a data-driven interpolation function derived from the empirical relationship between training dataset size and the optimal estimator count. Experiments were conducted using eight binary image datasets, while the performance of EDF and the conventional deep forest was compared on four independent test datasets. The results showed that EDF consistently achieved higher classification performance on datasets requiring more than two estimators while maintaining comparable computational efficiency. Application of the proposed algorithm to thick blood smear malaria diagnosis achieved an accuracy of 94.05% and an F1-score of 94.03%, demonstrating competitive performance while preserving computational efficiency suitable for resource-constrained environments. In conclusion, EDF provides an effective and automated parameter-selection strategy that improves deep forest performance and supports its practical implementation in lightweight image-classification applications, including malaria diagnosis.
