Abstract

The pitcher plant (Nepenthes mirabilis (Lour.) Druce) is a unique plant listed in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) Appendix II and is protected in Indonesia. Conventional propagation of N. mirabilis is difficult and takes a longer time. Therefore, in vitro culture method is proposed. This study aimed to determine the best and most economical media formulation and agar concentration for N. mirabilis micropropagation. This research has been carried out experimentally using a completely randomized two-factor factorial design. The first factor was the media formulation (full-strength Murashige and Skoog (MS), half-strength MS, half-strength MS + AB mix, and AB mix) and the second factor was agar concentrations (6, 8, and 10 g l-1). Twelve treatment combinations were obtained and repeated 5 times to produce 60 experimental units. The explants were apical microshoots (1.5 cm long with 5 leaflets). The cultures were incubated at 24 ℃ under continuous light for 16 weeks. The parameters measured included shoot emergence time, number of shoots, number of leaves, and shoot length. The data were analyzed using variance analysis followed by Duncan’s multiple range test at a 95% confidence level. The results showed that half-strength MS medium resulted in the highest number of shoots and leaves and the longest shoot length, whereas adding 8 g l-1 agar resulted in the fastest shoot emergence time. Half-strength MS medium solidified with 8 g l-1 agar could produce many N. mirabilis (Lour.) Druce microshoots to support both conservation and microfloriculture development.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) risk factors include changes in the lifestyle of adolescents with unhealthy diets tend to fast food, lack of activity and exercise, increased stressors, and exposure to environmental conditions that are not conducive to health. Establishing NCDs Integrated Health Service and Promotion Post is an efficient and effective control strategy aiming at early detection of NCDs risk factors. Empowerment of peer counsellors as Integrated Development Post cadres is expected to become agents of change and detect NCDs risk factors in schools. This research determines the effectiveness of implementing an adolescent-Integrated Development Post in schools to increase the adolescent cadre’s knowledge, anthropometric skills, and nutritional counseling. It is an experimental design with one group pre-post test at one of the high schools in Semarang City. Integrated Development Post cadres are peer counselors selected according to the criteria of 10% of the total number of students (36 people) from 11th grade. Differences in knowledge scores, anthropometric skills, and nutritional counseling of cadres were analyzed using the Paired T-test. The cadre’s knowledge scores increased from 50.55 to 70.11; anthropometric skills include weighing from 61.67 to 98.98, measuring height from 54.63 to 94.25, and nutritional counseling from 72.92 to 86.71. Paired T-test results show a p-value < 0.05. Integrated Development Post effectively increases cadre’s knowledge scores, anthropometric skills, and nutritional counseling. It can also detect risk factors to prevent and control NCDs in the school.

Abstract

People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) can have better health outcomes with early identification of the AIDS phase. In the first three years, PLWHA may progress to the AIDS stage. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the relationship between multimorbidity, nutritional status and duration of Antiretroviral (ARV) treatment on major signs of PLWHA. This study was conducted in the Intermediate and Infectious Disease Treatment Unit (UPIPI) at regional public hospital (RSUD) Dr. Soetomo Surabaya from January to February 2023. As many as 52 PLWHA who started HIV treatment at RSUD Dr. Soetomo in 2020 to 2021 were sampled in this study, which was obtained from medical records. The dependent variable in this study was the major sign of HIV. Independent variables in this study were multimorbidity, nutritional status, and the duration of ARV treatment. This study found that 76.9% of PLWHA experienced major signs. Multimorbidity and duration of ARV treatment did not have an association with major signs of HIV (p-value > 0.05). Nutritional status has a significant association with major clinical symptoms of HIV (p-value < 0.05). PLWHA with underweight had higher odds of having a major sign (p-value = 0.017; PR = 1.507; 95% CI 1.131-2.008) than PLWHA with normal nutritional status. Thereby, it is hoped that the hospital will be assisted in determining health promotion needs such as screening and evaluation of nutritional status to monitor the nutritional status of patients, which will improve their health outcomes.

Abstract

Livestock farmers in the Limpopo Province benefitted from the land reform projects. This led to an increase in the number of emerging cattle farmers who desired to move from small-scale to commercial cattle farming. These emerging cattle farmers had high expectations for government support through extension and advisory services to improve the welfare of their cattle. However, the study aimed to investigate the perceptions of 80 emerging cattle farmers concerning the importance of agricultural extension and the impact of extension advisors in improving the welfare of their cattle. The study was conducted in 18 villages of the Sinthumule-Kutama areas under Makhado Municipality. The study used quantitative and qualitative methods and simple random sampling. Questionnaires were used to collect primary data. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) tool was used for analysis, and the mean score was produced to address the study’s objectives. The results indicated that farmers agreed on the importance of cattle welfare and that they are knowledgeable about it, and methods used by extension workers are essential. Furthermore, they decided that the extension activities contribute to their knowledge of cattle welfare. The paper concludes by making the following recommendations. Extension workers should collaborate with some of the farmers who are leaders within the community to manage cattle welfare when extension workers are not around. Cattle farmers of Sinthumule-Kutama are expected to be trained on livestock welfare.

Abstract

Despite the reported improvement in the nutrient status of fermented cereal-based diets in Sub-Saharan Africa, the nutrient needs of infants are still not being met. Hence, this study evaluated the nutritional compositions of fermented protein-fortified cereals. The proteins used in fortifying maize and millet were crayfish (30%), soybeans (30%) and a combination of both protein sources in a ratio of 70:15:15 for cereals, crayfish and soybeans, respectively. Fermentation of protein-fortified cereals was carried out using submerged fermentation for 5 days. Results revealed that fortifying maize and millet with crayfish and soybeans increased the protein content (11.1 to 19.1%). The fortification led to a reduction in crude fiber and carbohydrate contents of raw maize and millet. Fermentation also significantly reduced the carbohydrate content, with the lowest carbohydrate value observed on the last day of fermentation. Fortification with crayfish and fermentation increased all the minerals (potassium, magnesium and calcium) of raw maize and millet, but no significant effect at p < 0.05 on the iron content. All the samples that were fortified had better sensory acceptability than those that were not fortified. This study revealed that fermentation and fortification of maize and millet meal (cereal) with soybeans and crayfish can alleviate protein energy malnutrition (PEM) problems.

Abstract

Star fruit, a widely consumed fruit in Indonesia, is utilized in jelly sweets as a functional food promoting health. Nevertheless, the exorbitant price of gelatin, a gelling agent compatible with halal requirements, has resulted in the substitution of carrageenan, a comparable substance with a fragile consistency. This study investigated the physical, chemical, and sensory properties of star fruit jelly candy using different concentrations of gelling agents. This study employed a fully randomized design to investigate the effects of various concentrations and types of gelling agents, namely carrageenan-konjac and carrageenan-pectin, at concentrations of 1.5%, 2.0%, and 2.5%, respectively. The findings indicate that various gelling agents impact the characteristics of hardness, gumminess, chewiness, water content, antioxidants, and pH. Different amounts of gelling agents impact the firmness, stickiness, texture, separation of liquid, moisture level, mineral content, acidity, moisture availability, and crude fiber content. The variations in outcomes of this study are determined by the hydrocolloid’s water content, which can bind water. Subsequently, the duration of processing and the level of temperature exert an influence on these parameters, hence impacting the physical qualities. The findings indicate that the combination of carrageenan and konjac substantially affects star fruit jelly candy’s physical and chemical characteristics. The optimal formula for creating star fruit jelly candy is to employ a 2.5% concentration of carrageenan-konjac.

Abstract

Stunting is a prolonged state of chronic malnutrition. This disorder is characterized by having a body length-for-age or body height-for-age measurement that falls below the -2 standard deviation established by the World Health Organization (WHO). The etiology of stunting is multifaceted, encompassing factors such as nutrition, feeding practices, infectious illnesses, and household income. Maternal understanding of nutrition, including dietary factors, is also associated with the occurrence of stunting. This study aimed to establish the relationship between feeding habits and maternal knowledge of nutrition with the prevalence of stunting in the operational region of the Gedongan Health Center, located in Mojokerto City. This study is an observational analytical study employing a cross-sectional design. The study’s population consisted of all women with children residing in the working area of the Gedongan Health Center. This study encompassed 144 participants who completed the Child Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ) regarding eating practices and a questionnaire assessing maternal knowledge of nutrition. The objective was to examine the relationship between these factors to height and age. The chi-square test results indicate a statistically significant association between feeding practices and stunting (p = 0.0001) and maternal knowledge about nutrition and stunting (p = 0.0001). The survey revealed that most children had been provided with appropriate feeding patterns, and most moms had a commendable nutritional understanding. The study’s findings indicate a noteworthy relationship between feeding behaviors and mothers’ nutrition knowledge.

Abstract

Siamese oranges are one of the most widely developed horticultural crops in Indonesia. Arjosari and Ngadirojo are some of the sub-districts that produce Siamese orange in Pacitan Regency. One of the factors that can affect the development of citrus is land quality. This study aims to obtain land quality index data and improvement efforts for developing Siamese orange. Soil samples were taken from 25 land mapping units (LMUs) with 87 sample points. The soil sampling points were determined based on area or sampling density. Data analysis used for soil quality assessment includes correlation, principal component analysis (PCA), minimum data set (MDS), and calculation of climate quality index. The parameters used in this study are bulk density, porosity, moisture content, texture, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), cation exchange capacity (CEC), base saturation, total N, available P, available K, soil organic carbon (SOC), microbial biomass carbon (MBC), evapotranspiration, temperature, and solar radiation. Based on the results of soil quality analysis in the study area, it has a value range of 0.28 to 0.37, including low class, while the climate quality index is 1.39 with moderate class. The land quality index has a very low to low class with a value of 0.39 to 0.51. Intrinsic, extrinsic, and anthropogenic factors can influence soil quality. The study area’s limiting factors for developing Siamese oranges are EC, total N, and available P, which can be improved by making furrow ponds, adding organic fertilizer, using urea fertilizer, and SP36 according to the dosage.
