Abstract

The experiment was conducted in the college of veterinary medicine at the University of Wasit to determine the role of therapeutic administration of thymoquinone on male mice fertility as a muddle for mammalian. Through the study, 16 mice have been separated into two groups equally: the control group administered distal water and kept in 25±2ºC, and the thymoquinone groups kept at 25±2ºC and administered thymoquinone 25 mg/kg b.w. for 2 weeks. After the end of the drenched period on the last day of the experiment, mice were not drenched for 24 hours, and ketamine 100 mg/kg and xylazine 10 mg/kg were administered to the scarified mice. 100 mg of testis samples were taken from the testis of all groups and kept at liquid nitrogen for PCR to determine the effects of stress through significant differentiation of HSP70 protein in testis tissue. The experiment showed a highly significant effect of the thymoquinone group (25 mg/kg b.w.) when compared with the control group.

Abstract

Soybeans have a major role in the Indonesian economy, as they are the main source of raw materials in various industries. The objectives of this study are to identify factors affecting the increase in soybean prices, develop a dynamic system modelling related to the increase in soybean prices, calculate the availability of soybeans against the effect of soybean prices, and develop alternative policy recommendations to meet the needs of soybeans in the productivity of tempeh and tofu in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan. Applying system dynamics with Powersim uses a causal loop diagram to translate the variables that affect the availability of soybeans to meet the demand for soybeans. The results of this study show that the value of E1 for the sub-model of the rate of import activities is 1.0%, the availability of soybeans is 1.0%, and the need for soybeans is 0.99%, so E1 is declared Valid The value of E2 for the sub-model of the rate of import activities is 0%, the availability of soybeans is 0.622%, the need for soybeans is 0.325% so the value of E2 is declared valid. The forecasting variable of the rate of import activities in this study affects the availability and demand for soybeans. The availability variable influences the fulfilment of soybean demand. Balikpapan City can achieve soybean self-sufficiency for the following years if the needs have been met.

Abstract

Social Forestry Groups (KPS) are the main target for implementing forestry sector mitigation activities at the site level, therefore the success of forestry sector mitigation is largely determined by the contribution of KPS involvement. The purpose of this study is to analyze whether the mitigation activities will be successfully implemented by KPS by measuring knowledge, attitudes, behaviors associated with the role of each member in the KPS institution and how the performance of the KPS is good or still needs to be improved. This study was conducted in the Management Area of UPTD KPH Region XI Kikim Pasemah with the research objects of KTH Luang Kering and KTH Sungai Geruntang from July to September 2023. The research method used is a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The results of the study showed that the level of knowledge of KPS members regarding climate change (10.42%) and mitigation (12.5 %). The respondents' attitudes showed a positive response to forestry sector mitigation activities (T Score> 50%). The behavior of most respondents towards the implemantation of mitigation activities by groups is not good, even though their attitudes support the implementation of mitigation actions, they stil play participatory role in climate change mitigation activities.

Abstract

Diabetes can exacerbate the infection since pregnant women with diabetes had a higher incidence of UTI (29.9%) than pregnant women without diabetes (11.1%). This study investigated the percentage of patients who had a urinary tract infection (UTI) in order to evaluate the function of paternal genetics in the development of DM and ascertain the effect of DM on the urinary system. The study comprised 90 pregnant women, ages 25 to 50, with and without diabetes mellitus (DM) in comparison to control pregnant women. The blood sugar levels and diabetes mellitus were determined both clinically and in a private, specialized laboratory. There was information on the age, etiology, and family history of diabetes. Bacterial species were isolated and identified using culture media and biochemical assays. Patients with UTIs were mostly female (73%) in proportion. To sum up, type 2 diabetes is the most prevalent, particularly in women, and it rises with age. Family genetic susceptibility and abrupt shocks were the primary causes of diabetes mellitus. The majority of diabetes individuals, particularly women, experienced UTIs, and the primary reasons of UTI inflammation were also shown by the current study. Insulin-resistant mice and humans have pathologically elevated levels of asprosin, a new hormone that has been found to be concentrated in white adipose tissue. However, there is currently no information available about asprosin's involvement in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The aim of our study was to determine whether there might connection between prediabetic pregnant women presenting with and circulating asprosin levels.

Abstract

Coffee was a high-value plantation commodity in Indonesia, contributing significantly to farmers' income and the national economy. However, increased coffee production also generated coffee skin waste that was often discarded, creating challenges in organic waste management. This study aimed to process coffee skin waste into eco-enzyme through fermentation process, which could be utilised as organic fertiliser and natural cleaner. For four months, organoleptic observations were made on the eco-enzyme produced, including, colour, pH, volume, and texture. Results showed that the colour of the solution transitioned from light brown to dark brown. pH decreased from 7 to 4 as microbial activity increased. The volume of the solution decreased from 500 mL to 240 mL due to gas release during fermentation. These findings suggested that processing coffee skin waste not only reduced environmental pollution but also increased the economic value of coffee industry by-products. This study provided insight into the potential for sustainable utilisation of coffee waste and supported environmentally friendly agricultural practices.

Abstract

This study aims to provide brief information about the role of haemosporidian parasites in birds and significant implications for avian health, population dynamics, and control efforts. Haemosporidian parasites, belonging to the phylum Apicomplexa, are a diverse group of protozoan organisms that infect a wide range of vertebrate hosts, including birds. These parasites have a complex life cycle, with both sexual and asexual stages, and are transmitted by blood-feeding insects such as mosquitoes, midges, and blackflies. The potential impact of these parasites include a wide range of health issues in infected birds, including anemia, decreased body condition, and reduced reproductive success. Additionally, the distribution of parasitic populations within individual hosts can lead to complex interactions between the host and its parasites, which can influence the overall population structure and dynamics of both the host and the parasite. The prevalence and genetic diversity of haemosporidian parasites can also vary depending on various factors, such as the migratory patterns of birds, availability of suitable vectors, and environmental conditions in different regions. In conclusion, haemosporidian parasites play a crucial role in the dynamics of bird populations, influencing their health, fitness, and population structure. Understanding the complex interactions between these parasites and their avian hosts is essential for developing effective strategies for the conservation and management of bird populations.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the application of several concentrations of liquid organic fertilizer based on palm fiber and the composition of plant media on the growth of moringa plants (Moringa oleifera L.). Palm fiber liquid organic fertilizer was chosen because of its potential as a source of environmentally friendly nutrients that can increase plant productivity. The study was conducted using a random group design (RAK) with treatment of various concentrations of liquid organic fertilizer (0%, 15%, 20%, and 25%) as well as variations of plant media by volume (1:1) (top soil, top soil + cocopeat, top soil + husk charcoal, and top soil + compost). The observed growth parameters included plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, leaf chlorophyll, plant wet weight, leaf wet weight and root wet weight. The results showed that the concentration of liquid organic fertilizer of palm fiber and the composition of the plant media significantly affected the growth of moringa plants. The combination of 20% palm fiber liquid organic fertilizer concentration and top soil + compost (P2M3) provides the best growth results compared to other treatments. These findings provide important insights for the development of more efficient and sustainable moringa cultivation techniques.
