Abstract

Mangrove crabs are a high-value fishery resource that is closely associated with mangrove ecosystems, but their uncontrolled use has the potential to threaten the sustainability of the population. This study aims to analyze the reproductive aspects of mangrove crabs (Scylla sp.) caught by fishermen in the Bagek Kembar Essential Ecosystem Area (KEE), West Lombok, as the basis for sustainable fisheries management. The research was conducted in March-May 2025, using a quantitative survey method and observation-based data collection. The sampling technique in this study is purposive sampling. The observed parameters included gender, carapace width, body weight, gonadal maturity level (TKG), and gonadal maturity index (IKG). Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially to describe growth patterns and reproductive conditions. The results showed a dominance of females, with a male:female ratio of 0.83:1. The relationship between carapace width and body weight is negative allometric (b < 3), indicating that carapace growth is faster than body weight growth. The distribution of TKG is dominated by TKG I and III, while the average IKG ranges from 2.05–5.72% with a frequency of 80%. The novelty of this research lies in providing location-based mangrove crab reproductive data in essential ecosystem areas that remain limited. The results of the study confirm the importance of regulating catch size and protecting mature gonadal individuals, and recommend further research on seasonal reproductive dynamics to support ecosystem-based fisheries management.

Abstract

The Marygold flower (Tagetes erecta L.) exhibits numerous pharmacological properties. The marigold flower promotes hair development. Antioxidant substances that contribute to hair growth include alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. This research was conducted to determine the efficacy of ethanol extracts from Marygold flowers (Tagetes Erecta L.) as hair growers in male rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). In a post-test-only control-group design, this study employed an experimental methodology. Thirty male rabbits served as test subjects in this study, which used one-way ANOVA. The KTL method was used in this study to determine the chemical constituent content of the ethanol extract of Marygold flowers at 5%, 10%, and 20% concentrations. Then, the length and density of the rabbit hair were measured to test the activity of hair growth. On days 7, 14, and 21, hair growth length was measured. On day 21, however, hair weight (density) was measured. Compounds from the flavonoid group (Rf 0.50 & 0.76), tannins (Rf 0.33 & 0.64), saponins (Rf 0.36 & 0.80), and alkaloids (Rf 0.33 & 0.62) were all positively present in the Marygold flower ethanol extract. The 20% concentration of Marygold flower ethanol extract exhibited the highest activity (p<0.05) in tests of hair density and length growth. The ethanol extract from Marygold flowers promotes hair growth in male rabbits, making their hair longer and denser.

Abstract

Brown seaweed (Sargassum crassifolium) grows a lot along the coast of Indonesia, especially in the Pangandaran area. Brown seaweed may serve as a viable natural source of sodium alginate, a biopolymer extensively utilized in pharmaceutical dosage forms. Most capsule shells are made of gelatin, but as more people seek alternatives to animal products, alginate-based materials are being explored. This study aimed to extract sodium alginate from Sargassum crassifolium and fabricate capsule-shell films, subsequently evaluating their physicochemical properties. To obtain sodium alginate powder, the extraction process involved the following steps: acid pretreatment, alkaline immersion, sodium carbonate extraction, bleaching, precipitation, and drying. The extracted material had a moisture content of 12% and a yield of 26.21%. FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the structure of the extracted material by showing that its functional groups, such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, C–O–H, and C–O–C, were the same as those of standard sodium alginate. Capsule-shell films were prepared by varying the alginate concentration in the casting volume to 3%, 4%, and 5%. Organoleptic testing showed that all formulations produced films that were slightly brown, opaque, and felt like paper. Tests on thickness and weight showed that films with higher alginate concentrations were thicker and heavier. F3-1 had a thickness value that was closest to what is needed for commercial hard capsules, and F1-2 had a moisture content range that was acceptable for commercial capsule shells. The moisture content of the formulations ranged from 8% to 24%, depending on the temperature, humidity, and length of time they were dried. All formulations produced films that could be used, but F3-1 had the best thickness, and F1-2 had the correct moisture content, supporting their potential application as non-gelatin capsule-shell alternatives.

Abstract

The waste from banana peels has bioactive chemicals that could be exploited as natural biomaterials for wound dressings. The amount of swelling in a biofilm is one of the most crucial things that impacts how effectively it works for wound care. This is because it changes how much water it can hold and how solid its structure is. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of immersion media on the swelling of banana peel extract-based biofilms. We mixed banana peel extract with gelatin at 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 mL to form biofilms. We tested for swelling in distilled water and a 0.9% NaCl solution for 10 to 30 minutes. We calculated out how much the swelling changed by comparing the weights before and after immersion. After that, we looked at the data by finding the average swelling numbers. The findings indicated that biofilms immersed in NaCl solution exhibited greater swelling than those immersed in pure water. This means that ionic interactions affect how polymer networks grow. The biofilm with 0.3 mL of extract swelled the most, although greater concentrations of extract made the swelling more controllable. These findings indicate that the concentration of the extract and the nature of the immersion medium significantly influence the swelling behavior of banana peel extract-based biofilms. This work provides scientists with insights into enhancing natural biofilm compositions for use as stable and absorbent, eco-friendly wound dressings.

Abstract

Biology learning requires the development of critical thinking skills and learning outcomes through meaningful and contextual processes; however, classroom instruction is often still dominated by conventional approaches. This study aimed to analyze the effect of implementing the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model on the critical thinking skills and Biology learning outcomes of Grade XI students at SMA Negeri 4 Praya. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test–post-test control group. The participants were Grade XI students, divided into an experimental and a control class. The research instruments included a critical thinking skills test based on Ennis' (1996) indicators and a Biology learning outcomes test based on curriculum competencies. The results showed that students in the experimental class achieved significantly higher improvements in both critical thinking skills and learning outcomes compared to the control class. Statistical analysis indicated that implementing the Problem-Based Learning model had a positive, significant effect on student performance. These findings suggest that the PBL model promotes active and meaningful learning, making it an effective approach for enhancing critical thinking skills and Biology learning outcomes among Grade XI students.
