Abstract

Fish farmers in Gresik Regency face significant challenges in developing aquaculture, including land conversion and extended dry seasons that lead to pond drought. Microbubble generators (MBGs) present a potential solution to these issues. This study evaluates the effectiveness of different MBG types in tilapia farming. Weekly measurements of fish mass and length were conducted to determine growth rates using direct methods. Water quality was assessed by testing COD and ammonia levels at the Gresik Regency DLH Laboratory and measuring dissolved oxygen levels directly with a DO meter. The distribution and size of the bubbles were analyzed using the shadow image technique, supported by MATLAB software. The study employed a stocking density of 100 fish/m² with three treatments: MBG swirl type, venturi type, and a conventional aerator. The findings revealed that the MBG swirl type resulted in the best fish growth and maintained water quality within the required standards. The specific growth rate in swirl-type ponds was 3.970 ± 0.014, with a survival rate of 100%. Additionally, the swirl-type MBG effectively maintained dissolved oxygen levels above 3 ppm, meeting the minimum requirement for fish survival, despite having less optimal microbubble distribution compared to the venturi type. While the MBG venturi type performed well initially, technical issues affected its bubble consistency over time. Enhancements in the venturi MBG's design are recommended to improve its performance and reliability.

Abstract

Burn injuries are a global health issue, particularly second-degree burns, which damage both the epidermis and dermis. This has led to the exploration of natural treatments like Moringa oleifera (moringa) and Aloe vera for their potential in wound healing, pain relief, and infection prevention. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a topical formulation containing extracts of Moringa oleifera and Aloe vera in accelerating the healing of second-degree burn wounds. This study employed a true experimental design with Sprague Dawley rats, divided into four groups (control positive, control negative, and two treatment groups). The experiment utilized topical formulations combining different concentrations of Moringa oleifera and Aloe vera extracts. The wound healing process was assessed through macroscopic observation and histopathological analysis, measuring the diameter of the burn wounds at different time intervals. Results showed that formulations containing Moringa oleifera and Aloe vera extracts significantly improved wound healing compared to the control group. The formulation with a 50:50 ratio of Moringa oleifera and Aloe verademonstrated the highest efficacy, reducing wound size and promoting fibroblast proliferation and vascularization. This study confirms the potential of a topical combination of Moringa oleifera and Aloe vera extracts in accelerating the healing of second-degree burns.

Abstract

Sorghum is a potential alternative food source due to its high carbohydrate, fiber, and protein content, which surpasses that of rice, as well as its greater adaptability to marginal land and dry weather conditions. However, sorghum productivity is often hindered by suboptimal fertilizer use, necessitating additional solutions like biostimulants. Seaweed-based biostimulants, such as Padina minor, hold promise in enhancing plant growth by stimulating nutrient absorption, improving resistance to abiotic stress, and enriching soil quality. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of P. minor extract in increasing chlorophyll levels in sorghum plants. The experiment was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with varying concentrations of P. minor extract (20%, 30%, and 40%) and application frequencies (1, 2, and 3 times). The research results showed that (1) a concentration of 20% with administration of the extract once gave a significant increase in chlorophyll levels compared to other concentrations and frequencies; (2) administration of biostimulants in low concentrations and with fewer administration frequencies has proven to be more effective; (3) higher concentrations and frequencies of biostimulants can cause toxicity to plants; (4) the use of P. minor extract as a biostimulant can be a sustainable alternative in agricultural practices to improve the quality and productivity of sorghum.

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

Chrysanthemum morifolium var. reagent pink is an ornamental flower that is widely cultivated in Indonesia. The increasing demand makes it difficult for farmers to fulfill the market. In-vitro tissue culture is an effective solution to multiply chrysanthemum seedlings in bulk and quickly. This study aims to identify the most effective concentration in inducing callus in chrysanthemum plants by combining Naphtalen Acetic Acid (NAA) and kinetin. This study was an experimental research with a completely randomized design (CRD), involving 12 treatments and each treatment was repeated 4 times. There were two treatment factors; NAA concentration (0 mg/l, 0.5 mg/l, 1 mg/l) and kinetin concentration (0 mg/l, 1 mg/l, 2 mg/l, 3 mg/l). Parameters in this study included days to callus appearance, percentage of callus explants, callus wet weight, callus color, and callus texture. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed that (1) the fastest callus was formed at 11 HST by giving the treatment of 0 mg/l NAA + 3 mg/l kinetin; (2) the optimal treatment for the percentage of callus explants was obtained by giving 1 mg/l NAA + 1 mg/l kinetin); (3) the optimal treatment of callus wet weight was obtained by giving 1 mg/l NAA + 2 mg/l kinetin; (4) the best callus quality was obtained by giving a combination of NAA 1 mg/l and kinetin 1 mg/l, with a crumbly texture and brownish yellow callus.
