Abstract

Peripheral Blood Smear Preparation (SADT) is a smear preparation made using human blood that is colored for examination in hematology. This examination is done to see and assess peripheral blood cells such as leukocytes, platelets and erythrocytes. Giemsa has a drawback because methylene blue contained in giemsa can be inhaled causing cyanosis. Azur B content can also cause waste because the material contained is not easily decomposed and eosin content can cause allergic reactions.This study aimed to test the water extract of Cambodian flowers (Plumeria rubra L. cv. Acutifolia.) as an alternative dye of peripheral blood smear preparations. This research is in the form of qualitative research with a method of making purple dye for water extraction of frangipani flowers (Plumeria rubra L. cv. Acutifolia.). Microscopic observations of frangipani flower extract (Plumeria rubra L. cv. Acutifolia.) as a preparation of Edge Blood Smear (SADT) can be used as an alternative natural use besides Giemsa staining, because erythrocytes, leokocytes and platelets are able to bind colors well.

Abstract

The orangutan, a vital component of the rainforest ecosystem, is increasingly threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation. Identifying orangutan nests and feeding trees is an important elements in understanding the habitat's capacity to sustain this species. Using the transect method, this study was conducted on 40 grids out of a total of 623 grids in the Tripa area that are still covered by forest. This study aimed to record the presence of orangutan nests and identify various plant species that serve as food sources for orangutans. The result revealed the discovery of orangutan nests in 7 locations, most of which were categorized as type C (old) and type D (very old). A total of 13 potential orangutan food plant species were found in the Rawa Tripa forest area, consisting of the families Moraceae, Euphorbiaceae, Annonaceae, Myrtaceae, Myristicaceae, Apocynaceae, Piperaceae, Dipterocarpaceae, Urticaceae, and Pandanaceae. This suggest that these areas may have supported a significant orangutan population in the past, but their current activity appears to be declining. The findings underscore the need for conservation efforts, as the continued survival of orangutans is crucial not only for their species but also for the ecological health of the forests they inhabit.

Abstract

Symphalangus syndactylus is a long-armed primate that plays a crucial ecological role as a pollinator and seed disperser. However, this species is currently classified as endangered. According to the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) in 2021, Siamang populations have been declining due to extensive deforestation, which has reduced the availability of their natural food sources.This study aimed to identify the diversity of plant species consumed by Siamangs. We conducted an exploratory survey using the line transect method across three trails. Data on food plants were collected along 1000-meter transects in each trail. Plant diversity was analyzed using the Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H' = -∑ Pi ln Pi).The results revealed 56 species of food plants from 22 families. The overall diversity index value of H'=2.74 indicates that the diversity of Siamang food plants at Soraya Research Station is at a moderate level. Keywords: Food plants diversity, Siamang, Soraya Research Station, Subulussalam

Abstract

Stingless bees are an abundant natural resource in various areas of the world. The utilisation of stingless bees is associated with their honey production. Therefore, stingless bees are widely cultivated in the community. The increasing number of cultivators also occurs in Lampung Tengah Regency. However, this increase in the number of cultivators has not been followed by research on the diversity of stingless bees, including based on their morphology. This research was implemented from May to August 2024. Explorative fieldwork was performed in Sido Mulyo, Punggur, Lampung Tengah. According to the findings of the exploration, samples were taken from seven different colonies. The samples were then observed on 11 morphological characters including (1) eyes, (2) forewings, (3) body colour, (4) thorax, (5) abdomen, (6) hammuli, (7) mesonotum, (8) mesoscutetellum, (9) propodeum, (10) hair on posterior hind tibia, and (11) elliptical disc on basitarsus. The observed samples are closest to the characteristics of species in the genus Heterotrigona (samples SK3, SK5, SK6, and SM1) and Tetragonula (samples SK1, SK2, and SK4) on the basis of morphological characters.

Abstract

The riparian forest in Lamseunia Village, Aceh Besar, is an important ecosystem that supports biodiversity, including insects such as butterflies (Lepidoptera) and dragonflies (Odonata). This study aims to analyze the diversity and abundance of both groups of insects, as well as their relationship with environmental conditions. The sampling method was carried out directly (hand collection) and using insect nets at three observation stations in November 2023. Data analysis was conducted using ecological indices and RStudio software. The results showed the discovery of 13 species of Lepidoptera from 4 families (Nymphalidae, Pieridae, Papilionidae, Lycaenidae) and 3 species of Odonata from the Libellulidae family. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H'=2,226) indicates a moderate level of diversity with an even distribution (evenness=0,95), while the dominance index is low (D=0,115) reflecting a balanced community. The dragonfly Orthetrum sabina was the most dominant due to its adaptability, while the butterfly Graphium sarpedon was the least abundant due to limited host plants. Rarefaction and extrapolation curve analysis (iNEXT) showed potential for additional species richness, especially at station 2. Environmental factors such as temperature (29,3-30,2°C), humidity (62%), and soil pH (6,0-6,5) also influenced insect distribution. Six species (Ideopsis vulgaris, Eurema hecabe, Graphium sarpedon, Orthetrum sabina, Pantala flavescens, and Rhodothemis rufa) are classified as Least Concern (IUCN), but habitat protection is still needed. These results provide baseline data for long-term ecological monitoring and conservation management based on local biodiversity.

Abstract

Food safety is a crucial component of the food system, ensuring that food is safe and free from health risks. One traditional food product that requires particular attention regarding food safety is shrimp paste. Shrimp paste is a fermented fishery product made from small shrimp or other fish, characterized by its distinctive aroma and flavor. The types of bacteria that grow during fermentation, the raw materials used, processing techniques, and handling of the final product all significantly impact the quality of shrimp paste. This study aims to analyze the quality and food safety of shrimp paste products through the detection of Escherichia coli and Salmonella sp. at the Sidoarjo Animal and Veterinary Health Laboratory. This study used the Most Probable Number (MPN) method to detect Escherichia coli, and a series of tests covering presumptive, selective, and confirmatory stages to detect the presence of Salmonella sp. Six samples were used in this study, obtained from four different locations. The results showed that all shrimp paste samples did not contain Escherichia coli with a value of <3 MPN/gram, and did not contain Salmonella sp. This was indicated by the absence of colonies on XLD media, indicating that all shrimp paste samples met safety standards SNI 2009. Quantitatively, these findings indicate that all shrimp paste samples had very low to undetectable levels of bacterial contamination, thus meeting microbiological safety standards and being safe for consumption. Keywords: Food safety; microbiological analysis; MPN; Escherichia coli; Salmonella sp.

Abstract

Coral reefs are vital coastal ecosystems that provide significant ecological and economic functions, supporting the sustainability of ecosystem services in coastal areas and small islands. The coral reef ecosystem on Tunda Island, Serang Regency, Banten Province, is currently experiencing degradation due to pressures from anthropogenic activities, such as destructive fishing practices, industrial operations, and tourism intensification, all of which potentially disrupt the marine ecosystem’s balance. This study aims to analyze the condition of coral reefs in Tunda Island by assessing substrate cover percentage, life form composition, and community structure. Data were collected using the Underwater Photo Transect (UPT) method at four stations at depths of 4 m and 8 m. Transect photos were analyzed using CPCe software, while community structure was assessed using diversity (H’), dominance (D), and evenness (E) indices. Results showed that the average live coral cover was only 16.92%, categorized as poor. Life form composition was dominated by Non-Acropora corals, particularly massive, branching, and foliose types. Community structure analysis indicated moderate diversity (H’ = 2.29), low dominance (D = 0.17), and high evenness (E = 0.7), suggesting a relatively stable community despite low coral cover.   Keywords: coral reef; community structure; Tunda Island
