Abstract

Biodiversity is an important asset for life on earth, including in Indonesia which has high biodiversity. One of the plant species that has important biodiversity in West Kalimantan is Tengkawang (Shorea spp.). However, the existence of Tengkawang plants in West Kalimantan currently faces various problems that need to be addressed seriously. This study aims to review Tengkawang plants in West Kalimantan with a focus on morphology, habitat, utilization, distribution patterns, and harvesting patterns of Tengkawang. The literature study was conducted using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) design with a span of 2014-2024. The results of the review of these 5 articles indicate that Tengkawang plants have tree habitats, the general habitat of Tengkawang (Shorea spp.) is found in tropical forests of Southeast Asia, Tengkawang fruit, stems and sap have many benefits especially for economic purposes, The harvesting pattern of tengkawang fruit is carried out traditionally by collecting tengkawang seeds that fall on the forest floor. And the distribution pattern of tengkawang found includes, among others, rambai tengkawang (Shorea mecistopteryx), sekadau tengkawang (Shorea marcophylla), and tahangul tengkawang (Shorea stenoptera).

Abstract

This study aims to determine the internal factors and external factors that cause children to experience Down syndrome. The method used is a qualitative approach with a case study that interviewed three samples of Down syndrome sufferers in Semarang City. The results showed that the interviewed Down syndrome sufferers did not have a hereditary or family history of Down syndrome. However, the age of the mother when she was pregnant with a child with Down syndrome was ≥33 years, where the age of the mother greatly affects the maturity of the female reproductive organs. This study concludes that the factors that cause children to have Down syndrome include, among others, internal factors in the form of nondisjunction on chromosome 21. A fetus that should produce two copies of chromosome 21 instead produces three copies of chromosome 21, resulting in a baby who usually only has 46 chromosomes having 47 chromosomes. External influencing factors include maternal age, genetics, radiation, and nutrition (folic acid). Of the three subjects, the most dominant factor is the mother's age.

Abstract

One of the pathogenic bacteria found in aquatic environments is Vibrio sp., which causes vibriosis. The use of mangkokan leaf extract as an antibacterial agent against Vibrio has not been studied before. The aim of this research was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of mangkokan leaf extract in inhibiting the growth of Vibrio sp. The antibacterial test in this study used the disc diffusion method. In addition, the study also conducted tests for yield and phytochemical analysis. The results showed that mangkokan leaf extract at concentrations of 100% and 75% exhibited moderate antibacterial activity, with average inhibition zone diameters of 8.5 mm and 6.35 mm, respectively. The yield of the ethanol extract from mangkokan leaves was 10.2%. The mangkokan leaf extract contains secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, steroids, alkaloids, tannins, and saponins.

Abstract

Complementary foods can be divided into two groups based on how they are made, namely instant and processed complementary foods. Instant complementary foods are products that are mass-produced and packaged by factories, such as instant baby porridge, and processed complementary foods are types of complementary foods that are prepared by mothers themselves at home with various creations and variations. Total plate count (TPC) is one of the parameters of microbial contamination in food. The aim of the study was to determine the total plate count value of home industry baby porridge samples (processed complementary food) in order to ensure the safety of consumption. This study was an analytical observational study. The TPC value was determined by counting the number of bacterial colonies that grew on PCA media with dilutions of 10-1 to 10-5. The collected data were tabulated and compared with the SNI 01-7111.4-2005 standard. The results of the study obtained the average TPC values as follows: sample A (1.15 × 104 colonies/gram); sample B (1.25 × 104 colonies/gram); sample C (2.32 × 104 colonies/gram); sample D (1.84 × 104 colonies/gram) and sample E (7.95 × 103 colonies/gram). It was concluded that all baby porridge samples tested had TPC values that exceeded the threshold set by SNI 01-7111.4-2005, which is 1×102 colonies/gram.

Abstract

Ajmalicine is a natural secondary metabolite compound found in the Catharanthus roseus plant, which has potential as an antihypertensive agent. Docking simulations were used to explore the molecular interactions between Ajmalicine and its identified target protein, the Alpha-2A adrenergic receptor, using three servers: PharmMapper, SwissTargetPrediction, and SuperPred. The analysis was supported by software such as PyMOL and LigPlus, Discovery Studio 2016 Client, and PyRx 0.8. The results showed that Ajmalicine interacts with the target protein, and this interaction was compared with a control compound, Clonidine, a chemical already used as an antihypertensive drug. The findings revealed that Ajmalicine binds to the same site on the target protein as Clonidine.

Abstract

The adhesion of green mussel spit is highly correlated with depth. This study aims to establish the correlation between the depth and duration of observation with the abundance of green mussel spat (Perna viridis) in the coastal waters of Waiheru Village, located in Inner Ambon Bay. This study was undertaken utilising three floating net cages (KJA) possessed by local fishermen. The KJA utilised in this investigation had dimensions of 2.0 x 2.5 metres. Each KJA is equipped with 4 threads of hanger rope, resulting in a total of 12 hangers. Each rope hanger is positioned at specific depths, specifically at depths of 3, 6, and 9 metres. The net is 40 cm by 40 cm. Observations were conducted on days 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 after the nets were strung. The findings indicated that the depth and duration of observation significantly influenced the quantity of green mussel spat. Specifically, more spat was observed compared to other days, suggesting a stronger attachment at that depth and observation period. Nevertheless, on the 10th day of observation, there was a surge in the quantity of green mussel spit.

Abstract

Kombucha is a fermented beverage known for its various health benefits, one of which is its antibacterial properties, making it a potential base for soap production. This study aims to evaluate the effect of adding Galo-Galo honey on the antibacterial activity of kombucha made from pineapple peel and coconut water waste. Fermentation was carried out for 15 days, and observations were made on pH value, total titratable acidity (TTA), and antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli using the disk diffusion method. The study was designed using a completely randomized design with three repetitions. The results showed that the higher the concentration of Galo-Galo honey added, the more significantly the kombucha pH decreased (p < 0.05), with the lowest pH found in the 25% honey treatment (3.09 ± 0.02). The highest total titratable acidity was also found in the 25% honey treatment (1.33 ± 0.11), along with the decrease in pH, indicating an increase in organic acid content. The antibacterial activity test showed that kombucha with a higher honey concentration had a larger inhibition zone against E. coli, with the largest inhibition zone found in the 25% honey treatment (11 ± 1.26 mm). The addition of Galo-Galo honey was proven to enhance the chemical properties of kombucha and strengthen its antibacterial activity.

Abstract

Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt) is a native plant of Indonesia and endemic to the Banda Islands, Maluku. Nutmeg plantations are scattered across various locations in Banda Neira, one of which is in Mangkobatu Village. The population structure in nutmeg plantations is essential for predicting the future regeneration of trees to replace the old ones. This study aims to describe the population structure and analyze the distribution pattern of nutmeg in the plantations of Mangkobatu Village, Banda Neira, Central Maluku. The research used the quadrat method to count individual nutmeg trees for analysis of density, sex ratio, and distribution patterns. The results show that the population structure of nutmeg in the plantations of Mangkobatu Village consists of seedling stages with a density of 250 individuals/ha, sapling stages with 380 individuals/ha, pole stages with 190 individuals/ha, and mature trees with 68.75 individuals/ha. The population structure forms a bell-shaped polygon diagram. The sex ratio of nutmeg in the plantations of Mangkobatu Village is 1:27, which does not align with the recommended ratio for nutmeg plantations. The distribution pattern of nutmeg at the seedling stage is clumped (Ip = 1), while at the sapling (Ip = -0.464), pole (Ip = -0.357), and mature tree (Ip = -0.567) stages, the distribution is uniform.
