Abstract

Turtles They are among the world's protected animals and one of the rare, almost extinct species. The preservation of their habitat and knowledge of the traits of turtle-friendly habitats are two ways that the rescue and protection of these turtles must go on. For rescue operations, turtle sustainability, and sustainable coastal management, research is being conducted on the features of the turtle nesting habitats on Popareng Beach. This research aims to determine the characteristics of turtle nesting habitats and identify the parameters that hinder turtles from nesting at Popareng Beach, Tatapaan District, South Minahasa Regency. The method used in this research is the descriptive-exploratory method. With characteristic parameters consisting of beach width measurement, beach slope, sand temperature, sand humidity, sand texture, beach vegetation, and the presence of predators. From the research results, it shows that station 1 and station 2 have results that are suitable for turtle nesting habitats, with values obtained at station 1 being 88.33% and station 2 being 92%. Meanwhile, at station 3, with an evaluation score of 72%, it is considered fairly suitable and the station has tolerable limitations.

Abstract

Gastric ulcers are one of the common side effects that occur as a result of using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as ketoprofen. The combination of turmeric extract (Curcuma domestica Val) and honey has the potential as an alternative therapy due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cytoprotective properties. This research aims to evaluate the effects of the combination of these two substances on gastric ulcers in mice induced by ketoprofen microscopically. To determine the effect of a combination of turmeric extract and honey on the histopathological profile of stomach ulcers in mice (Mus musculus) induced by ketoprofen. This study used an experimental method with a completely randomized design. Mice were divided into several groups, namely the negative control group (without treatment), positive control (ketoprofen without therapy), and the treatment group that was given a combination of turmeric extract and honey with varying doses. Gastric ulcers are induced by administration of ketoprofen, followed by microscopic observation of gastric mucosal damage. The data was analyzed statistically to see significant differences between groups. Histopathological observations show that the group given a combination of turmeric extract and honey experienced a significant reduction in the level of gastric mucosal damage compared to the positive control group. The combination is capable of reducing inflammation, necrosis, and accelerating tissue regeneration. The combination of turmeric extract and honey is effective in reducing gastric ulcers in mice induced by ketoprofen microscopically. This research supports the potential use of both natural substances as adjuvant therapy to prevent or address gastric damage caused by NSAIDS.

Abstract

Red beans are a horticultural crop belonging to the annual legume group that grows upright and has a fairly high nutritional content. To obtain maximum growth and yield from red beans, several factors must be considered, including balanced fertilizer application. The factor of providing organic fertilizer from chicken manure with the right dosage is the target of this study. This study aims to determine the effect of red bean growth on the dosage of chicken manure fertilizer. This study was conducted from December 2024 to February 2025 and was carried out on the plantation land of the Department of Science Education, Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Earth Sciences, Manado State University. The method used is a quantitative method with a type of experiment in the form of a Randomized Block Design (RAK) with five treatment combinations with each repeated three times. A0 = 0 (control), A1 = 1.00 kg, A2 = 1.50 kg, A3 = 2.00 kg, A4 = 2.50 kg, so there are 15 experimental bed units, and the data obtained are then analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results of this study indicate that good plant height growth, number of leaves and stem diameter are found in treatment A1 with a dose of 1.00 kg of chicken manure fertilizer and A2 with a dose of 1.50 kg of chicken manure fertilizer because there is the most maximum growth.

Abstract

Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) can increase the levels of heavy metals in surface water and groundwater sources. This study was conducted to evaluate water quality in Pohuwato Regency, Gorontalo, Indonesia. Sampling was performed at three sites: a reservoir, an irrigation channel, and a well. The concentrations of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and mercury (Hg) were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). The results indicated that Hg concentrations ranged from 0.00883 to 0.01493 mg/L (≈8.8–14.9× above the WHO guideline value of 0.001 mg/L), Mn concentrations ranged from 0.1309 to 0.543 mg/L (≈1.3–5.4× above the WHO guideline value of 0.1 mg/L), while Pb concentrations ranged from 0.0019 to 0.0048 mg/L, Cd concentrations ranged from 0.0002 to 0.0006 mg/L, and Fe concentrations ranged from 0.0728 to 0.101 mg/L, all of which were below the recommended threshold values for drinking water. The findings emphasize the importance of mitigation strategies based on mining governance, strengthening water safety plans, as well as interventions for household water treatment (adsorption/filtration) and risk communication.

Abstract

Ferns (Pteridophyta) are a group of Cryptogamae plants that play an important role in maintaining ecosystem balance and have the potential to be a source of biodiversity learning. This study aims to determine the diversity and evenness of fern species in the Kebun Raya Banua, Banjarbaru City, South Kalimantan Province, and to analyze the environmental factors that influence their existence. The research was conducted using an exploratory survey method with purposive sampling techniques at three observation stations. Diversity analysis was performed using the Shannon–Wiener Index (H’) and the evenness index (E). The results showed that there were 8 species of ferns belonging to 5 families, namely Asplenium nidus, Gleichenia linearis, Nephrolepis biserrata, Lygodium circinnatum, Davallia denticulata, Drynaria quercifolia, Adiantum raddianum, and Microsorum scolopendria, with a total of 62 individuals. The diversity index value H' = 1.894 is classified as moderate, while the evenness index value E = 0.56 indicates that species distribution is also moderate. These values indicate that the environmental conditions at Kebun Raya Banua are still relatively stable and support the growth of various types of ferns, with temperature, humidity, soil pH, and light intensity as important factors that influence diversity variation between observation stations.
