Abstract

Batu Layang Landfills is pit land area which has low pH and high organic substance affects types of earthworm. This research aimed to know types of earthworm and factors that affected them in Batu Layang Landfills in North Pontianak. The Research was conducted from April to May 2013. Sampling used quadratic and hand-sorting method and was taken in three different location namely Musaceae plantation, Araceae plantation, and vacand land. Each location had five plots with 5x5 m of each and every plot contained 30x30m and was put randomly. Number of earthworms from quadran were collected, identified and counted. The research findings showed that types of earthworms found were Megascolex, Pheretima and Pontoscolex. Megascolex was the dominant type on every research site with 5.67 17.82 ind/m2 and achieved 0.8013, the highest dominant index on Station I/ Site I. The diversity index on the three sites was low ranging from 0.3979 to 0.6749 and evenness index was low ranging from 0.3622 to 0.6413.

Abstract

The mangrove forest is one of the natural resources of the coastal area that serves to control the increase of boundary between groundwater level and seawater level inland (intrusion), to be a buffer zone, and to protect the shoreline so as to avoid erosion or abrasion. The research aimed to find out the composition and types of mangrove forest vegetation in the area of Serukam River estuary, Bengkayang Regency This research was conducted from June to September 2015 . The location was determined using a purposive random samplingmethod. There were three sampling locations with three  transects in the mangrove forest of Serukam River estuary. There were six mangrove species found in the research, i.e. Sonneratia alba, Avicennia marina, Rhizophora mucronata, Bruguiera parviflora, R. stylosa, B. cylindrica. The highest density of trees and saplings was R. mucronata with a density of 113.3 Ind/Ha and The highest density of saplings was 32.73ind/ha. The highest density of seedlings was Bruguiera cylindrical, i.e. 16.66 ind/ha.

Abstract

Jeringau (Acorus calamus L.) is an herb that is used to treat diarrhea, tapeworm and dysentery. If it is mixed with several other materials, it can help women after they are giving birth. This study was done to evaluate A. calamus’s antibacterial activity to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Ethanol and water were used as solvents to extract the Jeringau’s rhizome. The method used to test the antibacterial activity performance was the paper disk diffusion method in 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% v/v (ml/ml). The positive control was cloramphenicol, and the negative control was aquades. Based on the fitochemical test, A. calamus’s extract contained secondary metabolites compounds, such as alkaloid, flavonoid and polifenol. The results showed that there were inhibitions activities from the ethanol and water extract toward both of the tested bacteria. Water extract had smaller inhibition zone compared tto the ethanol. Different types and concentrations of solvents have different ability in inhibiting the growth of S. aureus and E. coli. The 100% concentration of both ethanol and water extract performed the highest activity to inhibit each bacterium growth.

Abstract

Tachypleus gigas is a species of horseshoe crab in Asia including Indonesia. Tachypleus gigas has a variety of morphological and morphometric forms in each different geographical area. The research aims to determine the morphological characteristics and the relationship of variation of T. gigas individual males and females consisting of the total length, carapace length, prosoma width and weight in a population. The results of the Independent Sample T-test of male and female crab t-test obtained tcount > t table shows that the T. gigas morphometry has a significant difference between male and female individuals. The horseshoe crab morphometry found in the Batu Ampar Coastal Area has an average size of a male individual with a width of prosoma 17.10±1.58 cm; total length of 36.01 ± 2.22 cm; carapace length 17.92 ± 1.56 cm and weight of 282.93 ± 49.89 g. Whereas female individual fruit has an average width of prosoma of 21.39 ± 2.97 cm; total length of 42.44 ± 3.82 cm; carapace length 23.90 ± 2.38 cm and weight of 662.69 ± 116.4 g. Variations in the morphometry relationships of Tachypleus gigas in Batu Ampar Coastal region indicate that the female individuals are greater than the male.

Abstract

Handwashing with soap is a healthy behavior that has scientifically been proved to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Students who are active on campus have risk factors of being contaminated by bacteria. This research aims to determine the correlation between the number of bacterial colonies on the palms and handwashing practices among students, and the difference between the number of bacterial colonies before and after washing hands with soap. This research used a pour plate method in accordance with the Standard Plate Count Method. The samples were 35 students. Based on the t-test, handwashing with soap showed a decrease in the number of bacterial colonies than before washing hands with soap, namely 1751.3 CFU / cm2 becoming 905.5 CFU / cm2 after washing hands. The logistic regression analysis and descriptive test showed that there is a correlation between the number of bacterial colonies on the palms and hand washing practices among students.

Abstract

Ants are one of bioindicators in peatland ecosystems. Peatlands are changing from natural conditions due to the oil palm plantations. This study aims to determine the diversity of ants in natural peatland and oil palm plantation at Sungai Ambawang District Kubu Raya. The research was located in 3 different sites, such as natural peatland, cleared peatland and the peatland that had been converted to oil palm plantation. Ants were collected by pit-fall trap, soil and leaf litter sieving, and bait trap method. There were 7 genera from 3 subfamilies (Dolichoderinae, Formicinae, and Myrmicinae) of ants found in this research. Dolichoderinae consisted of the genera Loweriella and Tapinoma, Formicinae consisted of Camponotus and Echinopla, while Myrmicinae consisted of Acanthomyrmex, Crematogaster, and Rhoptromyrmex. The Shannon diversity index (H’) of natural peatland was higher (H’ 1.12) than cleared peatland (H’ 0.00) and converted peatland (H’ 0.69). This indicates that the conversion of peatlands decreased ant species diversity.
