Abstract

Inhibition of xanthine oxidase is one of the strategies in handling gout. This study aims to explore the potential of takokak fruit extract (Solanum torvum Swartz) in inhibiting nanotechnology-based xanthine oxidase in the form of nanoemulgel. This research is an experimental study conducted in several stages, namely qualitative phytochemical tests, quantitative identification of total flavonoid content and preparation of nanoemulgel made with 3.75% extract with variations of surfactant Tween 80 and PEG 400, namely F1 (30:30), F2 (35:25) and F3 (40:20). The ability of the extract and nanoemulgel was evaluated in inhibiting xanthine oxidase. The results showed that the ethanol extract of takokak fruit contained flavonoids, saponins, phenolics and tannins qualitatively. The total flavonoid content in the extract was 4.472 ± 0.133 mgQE. Formulation F2 has the smallest particle size (18.5 nm) and polydispersity index of 0.1313. Takokak fruit extract has almost the same inhibitory power as allupurinol with an IC50 value of 45.54 ppm. The IC50 value of nanoemulgel 3.75% takokak extract is 29.26 ppm so that the IC50 of the extract in nanoemulgel form is 1.10 ppm (45 times the IC50 of the crude extract). In conclusion, Formula F2 is the best formula in the preparation of nanoemulgel with particle size and polydispersion index and strong xanthin oxidase inhibitory activity.

Abstract

Stress, environmental pollution, radiation, and excessive food processing contribute to the production of free radicals, which are harmful to the body. Antioxidants play a role in preventing free radicals from damaging nucleotides. Ginger contains high levels of antioxidants, making it beneficial for overall health. However, ginger has a short shelf life, and its traditional preparation methods are less preferred by many people. Therefore, ginger is now available in the form of instant drink powders, which can be prepared like tea or coffee. This study is a descriptive study using the hedonic test method. Thirty students were selected as panelists. The panelists evaluated two types of ginger drinks made with different sweeteners: sugar and a combination of sugar and palm sugar (sugar-palm sugar). The parameters assessed in this study were color, aroma, taste, and sweetness level. The results of the hedonic test showed that the ginger drink sweetened with the sugar-palm sugar combination had the highest preference percentages across all parameters: color, aroma, taste, and sweetness level. For color, the "like" preference level achieved a percentage of 40%. For aroma, the "really like" preference level reached 43.33%. Taste received a "really like" preference level of 53.33%, and sweetness achieved a "like" preference level of 36.67%. In conclusion, the panelists preferred the ginger drink sweetened with the sugar-palm sugar combination over the drink sweetened with just sugar. This preference is attributed to the addition of palm sugar, which balances the ginger's strong flavor while retaining its distinct taste. Furthermore, the combination of ginger and palm sugar produces a harmonious blend of color, aroma, taste, and sweetness that complements both ingredients.

Abstract

Seed priming is a technique for treating seeds before germination to improve the quality of the plants produced. Seed priming can be done by soaking the seeds in various solutions, including hormone solutions. Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is the second most important commodity in Indonesia for both common and striated groundnut. This research aims to determine the effect of seed priming using the hormone gibberellic acid on the vegetative growth of peanuts and striated peanuts. This research used a completely randomized design with a factorial pattern; the first factor is variation in the type of peanut; The second factor is the variation in gibberellic acid concentration for seed priming, namely 0 ppm (only distilled water), 100 ppm, 200 ppm, 300 ppm and 400 ppm and without priming. Each treatment was carried out in 3 repetitions. The variables observed were plant wet weight, plant dry weight, chlorophyll content, number of leaves, shoot:root ratio. Quantitative data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and DMRT with a confidence level of 95%. The results of the research showed that seed priming treatment using the gibberellic acid hormone had a significant effect on the wet weight and dry weight of the plants; shoot:root ratio, and chlorophyll content of peanut and striated peanut leaves. Seed priming treatment using the hormone gibberellic acid had no significant effect on the number of leaves of ordinary peanuts and striated peanuts.

Abstract

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) commonly used have associated side effects, necessitating the search for safer alternatives based on natural ingredients. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a 70% ethanol extract emulgel of mulberry leaves (Morus alba L.) as an anti-inflammatory agent. The methodology employed is an experimental study involving the formulation of emulgel, which was tested on Wistar rats. The extraction process utilized maceration of mulberry leaves with 70% ethanol, yielding a concentrated extract that was then formulated into an emulgel. Anti-inflammatory activity was assessed using carrageenan induction and measuring edema volume in the test animals. The results indicated that the mulberry leaf extract emulgel exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity, with a p-value of <0.023, demonstrating a meaningful difference compared to the positive control. The formula with a concentration of 0.32% showed the best efficacy at 180 minutes. The conclusion of this study highlights the potential of the 70% ethanol extract emulgel of mulberry leaves as a safe and effective alternative for anti-inflammatory therapy, recommending further safety testing to ensure its safe use in the community.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest biodiversity in the world. However, this high diversity requires individual awareness and responsibility to maintain and utilize it sustainably. Therefore, biodiversity literacy is an important element, especially for students as prospective future generations who will play a role in natural resource management in the future. This study aims to evaluate the level of biodiversity literacy of students of the Biology study program at the University of Education Mandalika, by assessing six dimensions of biodiversity literacy: Conservation and Importance of Biodiversity (CIB), Ethics and Biodiversity (EB), Sustainability and Biodiversity (SB), Taking Action to Protect Biodiversity (TAPB), Biodiversity and Utility (BU), and Conservation and Importance of Species (CIS).  The method used was quantitative descriptive, involving 50 students as respondents. The instrument used consisted of 27 items that were analyzed using One Way ANOVA to determine the average score and significant differences based on gender and student scores. The results showed that the average score of biodiversity literacy obtained a score of 2.08 with a less significant category (Low Biodiversity Literacy). Most of the indicators are at an average value below 2.50, only a small number of indicators have an average value above 2.50. In the CIB dimension, only 3 indicators have an average value of > 2.50 out of 5 indicators. In the TAPB dimension, only 1 indicator has an average > 2.50. While in other dimensions, the average value < 2.50. In addition, there was no significant difference in student scores based on gender. Thus, student biodiversity literacy still needs to be improved, especially in the aspects of real action and individual responsibility.

Abstract

Scientific and technical advancements have intensified efforts to incorporate technological results into the teaching and learning process. As a result, new advancements in learning systems are required, such as the creation of Augmented Reality-based e-modules. In colloidal material research, Augmented Reality on an Android tablet is employed in modified Chemistry E-modules to increase student engagement and learning outcomes. The objectives of this research are to create e-modules, evaluate their use, and analyze the impact of chemistry e-modules on learning outcomes and student participation. The feasibility of e-modules is determined through the validation test of 9 validators consisting of media experts, linguists and teaching practitioners. While the e-module was tested on 3 scales, namely limited scale, medium scale and wide scale on respondents, namely grade XI students at SMA Islam Terpadu Baitul Muslim, SMA Teladan, SMA TQ Al Mannan in East Lampung Regency. Based on the research, the academic results and attention spans of grade XI pupils are impacted by chemistry e-modules with customized Augmented Reality on colloid material, A 0.005 significance level has been set. Furthermore, the N-gain value indicates a difference in the attention and learning outcomes of grade XI pupils before and after utilizing the program. Students who do not study the material through e-modules have N-gain values in the low category, while students who study the material through e-modules have N-gain in the high category. In the validation test by validators, it is known that the Aiken coefficient value (V-count) is greater than 0.8 with a very good Likert scale interpretation.
