Abstract

Coastal areas are one of the areas that have very potential both functionally and economically as a source of life for the surrounding community. However, if the management of coastal resources does not have sustainability, various problems will arise. Rupat Island is one of the water areas that is a crossing path between countries. Sustainable management of coastal areas must follow planning, utilization, supervision, and control of the impact that will be caused both by humans in utilizing it and the effect of oceanographic phenomena on coastal areas, such as hydro-oceanographic factors. This research aims to analyze the characteristics and factors that cause coastal environmental degradation, as well as the ecological carrying capacity of coastal areas in terms of physical aspects of oceanography. The method used in this research is a survey method, which involves interviews and questionnaires analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Data collection was done using a purposive sampling method based on affordability. The resulting bathymetric contours indicate that the waters in the middle of the Malacca Strait have a high depth (40 m) with more inland areas (approaching Rupat Island), and the sea depth decreases. The tides shown are field and secondary tides obtained through the prediction of tidal data by NAOTide software. The results of the graph displayed are very appropriate, which shows that the tidal type of Rupat Utara is a mixed tide inclined to double daily (Mixed Tide Prevailling Semi-diurnal). Current patterns from low to high tide have the same direction, from the northeast towards the southeast, with the highest current velocity occurring in February and the current velocity value above 0.5 m/s. While at high tide towards low tide, the current pattern has the opposite direction, namely from the southeast to the northeast, with the highest current speed occurring in December and above 0.8 m/s. The IKP calculation of the entire research area of Tanjung Punak Village is the area with the highest vulnerability level value, with a GPA value of 1215, and the lowest vulnerability level value in Tanjung Medang Village, with a GPA value of 216. The phenomenon of coastal area damage in the Rupat Utara area is almost found in every observation location, which is caused by the impact of both hydro-oceanographic factors and anthropogenic factors

Abstract

Soursop leaf (Annona muricata L.) is an herbal plant that is widely used by the public empirically because it has many properties. The sling leaf contains tannin compounds, alkaloids, as well as several other chemical compounds including annonaceous acetogenin, which can be used as a treatment. This study aims to find out if soursop leaf extract has the effect of deducting blood glucose levels in mice test animals (Mus musculus) which induced a 50% glucose solution. The study used the RAL method (complete random design) and 20 male mice were divided into 5 groups with 4 repetitions. Group P1, P2, and P3 (treatment group) administered ethanol extract of sine leaves at doses of 250, 500, and 750 mg/kg bb respectively, while k- and k+ (control group) administered CMC 0.5% and glibenclamide with oral administration. The data obtained were statistically analyzed with ANOVA (Variance analysis) one-way to find out the differences between treatment groups and continued with the BNT test (The smallest real difference) to find out meaningful differences between groups. The results showed that there were differences between the treatment group and the control group. On the 7th day of the BNT test, the treatment group with a dose of 750 mg/kg bb showed significant differences between the negative Control group (CMC 0'5%), Positive control (Glibenclamide), P1 (250 mg/kg bb), and P2 (500 mg/kg bb), while on the 14th day showed no significant difference with the treatment group of 500 mg/kg bb. concluded from this study that all concentrations of ethanol extract of sling leaves could lower blood glucose levels in test animals, with the most optimal decrease being the group at a dose of 750 mg/kg bb

Abstract

Bekasam is a type of fermented freshwater fish product with sour taste. Bekasam is made from fish that have been cleaned gills and entrails, washed, mixed with salt. After 2 days of fermentation, rice is added to this mixture and fermentation is continued for 5 to 7 days. Bekasam is thought to have antihypertensive activity due to the formation of bioactive peptides resulting from fish protein degradation during the fermentation process of the scars. This study aims to isolate indigenous lactic acid bacteria with high power. Lactic acid bacteria were isolated from tuna. Isolation was carried out using MRS agar + CaCO3 medium and screening of proteolytic lactic acid bacterial isolates was carried out using skim agar. Colonies that provide a clear zone on the skim to be identified as lactic acid bacteria. Of the 180 isolates of acid-producing bacteria that provide clear zones in the MRS to find 150 strains of lactic acid bacteria. The results of further morphological and biochemical tests indicate that these isolates are genera Lactobacillus, Pediococccus and Leuconostoc. The results of further selection were carried out on homofermentative lactic acid bacteria and had high proteolytic activity. The results of identification of isolate species using API CH50 showed that selected lactic acid bacteria were Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus pentosus, and Pediococcus pentosaceus

Abstract

Morphometrics is a field that deals with variations and changes in the form (size and shape) of an organism or object. Anthropogenic is a human activity not only limited to the use or utilization of coastal resources, but also can be restorative and protective, thus causing complex disruption. The purpose of this study was to determine the morphometric differences of the flowers and fruits of R.apiculata mangroves in two regions with different anthropogenic activities in the mangrove ecosystem of Dumai City. This research was carried out in September 2019. From the results of the study it was found that in areas polluted by anthropogenic activity the average morphometrics of fruit (length and width) and leaves (length, width and length of the stems) Rhizophora apiculata were lower than those in the area not polluted by anthropogenic activity. At station I the oil content ranged from 0,0975 to 0,1251 ppm classified as polluted and at station II ranged from 0,072 to 0,111 ppm classified as not polluted

Abstract

This research was carried out in March 2021 to analyze the heavy metal content of Pb and Cu in the sediment and flesh of the horn shell (Cerithidea obtusa). Sediment samples and horn shells were taken from the coastal waters of Panipahan, Panipahan Village, and Teluk Pulai Village, Rokan Hilir Regency, Riau Province. The method used in this research is a survey method. Sampling was determined by using purposive sampling at three different stations. The results of this study showed that the metal content of Pb and Cu was highest in sediments around residential areas (44.7150 g/g and 104.4200 g/g), while the horn shell was found in areas far from anthropogenic activities (2.4717 g/g and 8.6617 g/g). Differences in the metal content of Pb and Cu in the sediments were found between stations, while for horn shells there was no difference between stations. The metal content of Pb in the sediment did not show a significant effect (F < 0.05) Pb content in horn shells, as well as Cu. The results of the calculation of the PTWI (Provisional Tolerable Weekly Intake) value indicated that the horn shell in the waters is acceptable for consumption.

Abstract

Rupat Strait related to the Strait of Malacca is a national and international shipping lane and makes the region affected by anthropogenic activities that result in a decrease in the quality of the waters such as the increasing amount of heavy metal content. The most easily contaminated organism of heavy metals is bivalves due to and its low mobility, bivalves being filter feeders, and the ability to accumulate contaminants,. The purpose of this study was to look at genetic changes in bivalves (P.acutidens) contaminated by heavy metals. The study was conducted from February to March 2021. Bivalve sample was collected from the waters of Rupat Strait and sample analysis was conducted in the Marine Biology Laboratory and Genetics Laboratory of Riau University. Bivalve DNA is isolated with Geneaid Tissue Genomic DNA Mini Kit. DNA isolation results were then carried out PCR process and sequencing process was carried out in PT. Genetika Science Indonesia. The results of study show that sequencing results obtained by samples derived from Selinsing have the most changes in the composition of nitrogen bases compared to samples from the other two stations
