Abstract

This study aims to determine the chemical content of the urine of local cats living freely around Mataram. The sample used was cat urine taken randomly. Twenty-five cats’ urine samples were put into a sterile urine pot. Urine chemistry examination and observation were carried out using a urine analyzer strip to identify the levels of urine chemistry, namely nitrite, protein, pH, blood, ketones, bilirubin, and glucose. The examination was done by dipping the strip into each urine sample; the strip was taken and tapped on the tissue, then inserted into the urine analyzer machine. After the results are obtained, the machine will automatically issue the results of the urine chemistry analysis, reading the results for no more than 60 seconds. This study emphasizes observing the quantity or amount of substances and sedimentation in cat urine samples. All of the 25 samples examined were positive (100%) for nitrite, protein, ketones, and glucose levels. The results of the blood level examination in urine were negative in all samples, the examination of urine pH levels in 25 samples varied with an average pH of 6.84, and the examination of bilirubin levels was positive in 24 (96%) urine samples. From the examination of the samples, there were indications of disorders of the uropoetic system and bacteriuria in cat urine.

Abstract

This study aims to enhance cognitive and psychomotor abilities through outdoor learning, designed and evaluated collaboratively by the learning community within the framework of the Lesson study. The study was conducted on grade X students of MAN Insan Cendekia Bengkulu Tengah. Lesson study was carried out in two cycles, each consisting of the plan, do, and see stages. The "plan" stage is the planning stage to prepare the learning tools and strategies that will be carried out. The "do" stage is the implementation of the learning that has been designed. The "see" stage is a reflection of the learning activities that have been carried out. The instruments used consist of observation sheets and test paper. Data is analyzed by calculating the average percentage of each observation indicator, while cognitive and psychomotor learning outcomes are analyzed by calculating the average value obtained. Implementation of the lesson study achieved a percentage score of 100%. Cognitive learning outcomes from cycle I to cycle II increased by 20.43%. Meanwhile, psychomotor learning outcomes increased by 26.79%. The ecosystem acts as a direct learning context that does not only present objects of study to be studied but can also facilitate students to develop conceptual understanding and scientific skills simultaneously. Thus, the reflection carried out will encourage teachers to make continuous improvements. The conclusion of this study is that lesson study activities involving the role of the learning community can improve the planning, implementation, and reflection of biology learning outside the classroom, thus having a significant impact on improving students' cognitive and psychomotor learning outcomes.

Abstract

This research aims to develop a web-based mobile plant-tagging application that connects local plant species to scientific information through QR codes, which emphasizes contextual, technology-assisted learning grounded in local potential. The resulting educational media, titled Pelurutaloka (an acronym for Pembelajaran Luar Ruang Tanaman Lokal, or Outdoor Learning of Local Plants), is specifically designed to be pedagogically relevant and to serve as a foundation for future studies in local natural resources.This study adopts a Research and Development (R&D) methodology using the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate), with development limited to the evaluation/revision stage. The evaluation phase employed a 14-item Likert-scale questionnaire, which demonstrated high levels of validity and reliability based on expert review and Rasch model analysis (reliability = 0.72). Further Rasch analysis revealed a unidimensionality value of 40.2%, exceeding the acceptable threshold of 20%, indicating that the instrument effectively measured a single construct. The primary contribution of this research lies in the creation of a web-based, mobile-accessible biology learning media designed for outdoor contexts, offering an engaging, technology-enhanced learning experience that promotes student activity and interaction with the environment. This study recommends broader dissemination of the Pelurutaloka platform and its implementation in outdoor biology education, particularly through collaborative, active learning models such as problem-based learning (PBL) and project-based learning (PjBL).

Abstract

This study aims to understand the ethnobotanical knowledge possessed by the people of Trusmi Kulon Village, especially in the utilization of medicinal plants for people with gastric diseases. This research used a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. Data collection in this study was carried out through in-depth interview methods, with a question model using semi-structured interview techniques. Interviews were conducted with 13 informants from the general public in Trusmi Kulon Village who were selected based on their knowledge of ethnobotany and history of gastric disease. The researcher also used the PlantNet application to help identify plants. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model, which consists of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the people of Trusmi Kulon Village have knowledge about the use of medicinal plants that have been passed down from generation to generation. Overall, 34 medicinal plants were found that are believed to be efficacious, but specifically there are 9 medicinal plants used by the community in overcoming gastric diseases. Plant parts used in making medicinal herbs include leaves, flowers, stems, seeds, and rhizomes. The process of processing plants into medicine varies, ranging from boiled, grated, squeezed, burned, pounded, dried and then brewed, rubbed, or eaten directly. Each herb has a different processing method, some are single, some need to be mixed with other ingredients. This finding shows that traditional medicine is still an important part of society as an alternative treatment that is trusted for generations.

Abstract

Heat shock protein 70 also known as HSP70 is a protein that regulates in response to stress factors such as heat, exercise, and others. The current research work used enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to measure HSP70 levels in working horses on Sumbawa Island. Blood was taken through jugular venipuncture whereas saliva was collected non-invasively via cotton swab, both were analyzed with ELISA. The results indicated different expressions of HSP70; saliva shows a significantly higher level of HSP70 (52.07 ± 25.25 ng/mL) than serum (43.71 ± 34.83 ng/mL) from the same animal. The observed differences might indicate a better representation of acute stress by saliva due to physiological rapid turnover compared to serum, which reflects an integration of cumulative stress exposure. Our finding thus proves that double monitoring of both biological matrices offers complementary information in assessing stress in working horses while taking salivary HSP70 into account as especially promising for the in-field welfare monitoring due to its non-invasive collection and sensitivity to immediate stress conditions.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of handwashing soap made from cocoa pod husk extract in inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli, which are common causes of various diseases. The extract used was a crude cocoa pod husk extract obtained through the maceration method using distilled water (aquadest) as the solvent. The extract was then formulated into soap at concentrations of 80%, 90%, and 100%. Antibacterial activity tests were carried out using the disk diffusion method based on CLSI standards to measure the inhibition zones against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella typhi. The study used a completely randomized factorial design (3 x 3), involving three extract soap concentrations and three types of bacteria, each tested in three replications. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to determine the significance of differences among treatments. The inhibition zone measurements showed that at concentrations of 80%, 90%, and 100%, the zones for E. coli were 4.1 mm, 4.9 mm, and 6.3 mm respectively, classified as weak to moderate. For S. aureus, the inhibition zones were 7.3 mm at 80%, 11.30 mm at 90%, and 13.77 mm at 100%, which fall into the moderate to strong category. For S. typhi, the inhibition zones were 5.16 mm (80%), 6.3 mm (90%), and 8.81 mm (100%), categorized as moderate. It can be interpreted that cocoa pod husk extract soap showed the most effective antibacterial activity against S. aureus at 90% and 100% concentrations, while its inhibitory effect on E. coli and S. typhi was weaker to moderate. Biologically, the effectiveness of cocoa pod husk extract soap as a natural antibacterial agent is more optimal against Gram-positive bacteria such as S. aureus, whereas its effectiveness against Gram-negative bacteria like E. coli and S. typhi still needs to be optimized. The ANOVA test results showed a p-value < 0.05, indicating that the average inhibition zone results among the three bacterial types differed significantly. This confirms the potential of cocoa pod husk as a natural raw material for producing environmentally friendly antibacterial hand soap.

Abstract

This study evaluates the effects of NaOCl concentration and immersion time on contamination levels and viability of in vitro mangosteen seed explants, aiming to identify the optimal sterilization protocol. Conducted at YAHDI Tissue Culture Laboratory, Medan, Indonesia, a Randomized Complete Block Design tested three treatment combinations: (1) 15% and 10% NaOCl for 5 minutes, (2) 20% and 15% NaOCl for 15 minutes, and (3) 30% and 20% NaOCl for 25 minutes. After immersion, explants were rinsed three times with sterile distilled water. Observations spanned 12 MST, with data analyzed using ANOVA and Games-Howell post hoc tests; contamination sources were qualitatively described. Results showed the first combination had the lowest effectiveness, the second was better but suboptimal, while the third significantly delayed contamination and yielded the highest explant survival rate of 86.1%. The third treatment also prolonged the contamination-free period compared to others. Fungal and bacterial contaminants were predominant, highlighting the need for effective disinfectants against both. These findings indicate that the third combination is a promising sterilization protocol for mangosteen seed explants, especially for hard endocarp tissues prone to contamination.
