Abstract

The honeys from the Phytogeographic Provinces (PP) of the south of Buenos Aires province (Argentina) were characterised by the sugar composition and physicochemical parameters used for honey quality control. A large set (n=329) of traceable raw honey samples obtained from beekeepers were analysed and met the specifications of the national and/or international standards for the evaluated parameters, which denoted their blossom origin and confirmed their authenticity, good maturity and freshness. The influence of flora and the pedoclimatic conditions of each phytogeographical region, as well as their beekeeping practices, on the physical and chemical properties of honey allowed its characterization. Thus, the honeys from the southeast of Buenos Aires province were characterized by higher contents of moisture, fructose, maltose, erlose, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and ash, pH and electrical conductivity (EC) and slightly lighter colours; while southwest honeys showed higher free acidities, sucrose content and ºBrix values. Honeys from the PP Espinal exhibited characteristic lower contents of fructose, HMF and ash and EC values, and larger amounts of sucrose. Honeys from the PP Monte presented typical lower moisture contents and slightly darker colours. Honeys from the PP Pampeana were typified by higher amounts of fructose.

Abstract

Molluscs, especially bivalves and gastropods, make an important contribution to the formation of food chains in seagrass ecosystems. In addition, bivalves and gastropods are often used as biological indicators of aquatic environmental quality in seagrass ecosystems. The close relationship between seagrass beds, bivalves and gastropods can be seen in the expanse of seagrass ecosystems found on Buntal Island which is located in Kotania Bay, West Seram Regency. The potential of bivalves and gastropods, such as the diversity and community structure found in Buntal Island waters, is very important to study because the information is limited. This study aims to determine the diversity of bivalves and gastropods in the seagrass ecosystem of Buntal Island and to determine the community structure of bivalves and gastropods which include; density and relative density, abundance and relative abundance, and frequency of presence and relative frequency of presence. The research method used is quantitative. The results of the analysis of the potential of molluscs showed that the diversity of the composition of mollusc taxa found in seagrass ecosystems on Buntal Island was divided into 2 classes, 25 families, 37 genera, 52 species with a total of 3291 individuals. The mollusc with the highest score in terms of density, abundance, and frequency of presence belonged to Nassarius globossus.

Abstract

Phosphate solubilizing fungi are fungi that can convert phosphate in soil from compound form (almost insoluble) into ionic form (easily soluble) so that it can be utilized by plants. The purpose of this study was to determine the isolation and characteristics of phosphate solubilizing fungi isolates found in fruit and vegetable peel waste compost. This research was conducted in January 2023 until completion in the Laboratory of the Faculty of Science and Technology, Labuhanbatu University. This research was carried out by isolating fungi from municipal waste compost, characterizing morphology and the ability to dissolve phosphate and molecular identification. Furthermore, the data were analyzed descriptively based on the research results obtained. There were 4 isolates of phosphate solubilizing fungi that were able to form clear zones on Pikovskaya media with different morphological characteristics and ability to dissolve phosphate. The largest clear zone diameter was shown in isolate A3 of 3 cm which is Aspergillus niger fungus.

Abstract

The biosorption of crude-oil spill using acetylated and unacetylated Cissus populnea leave, stem and root biosorbents was investigated in this study. The acetylated and unacetylated biosorbents was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The FTIR spectra confirmed the formation of the acetyl group while SEM morphological analysis of acetylated biosorbent showed rough macrostructure surfaces with large hollows between the strand. The effectiveness of the biosorbents was evaluated based on their ability to remove crude oil from an aqueous solution. The results sho wed that the acetylated biosorbents had higher oil sorption capacities compared to the unacetylated biosorbents. The highest oil sorption capacity was observed for the acetylated stem biosorbent, which had a sorption capacity of 30.09 g/g. The unacetylated leaves biosorbent had the lowest oil sorption capacity, with a sorption capacity of 20.4 g/g. The leaves and roots biosorbents showed intermediate oil sorption capacities. The study also showed that the biosorption capacity of the biosorbents increased with increasing initial oil concentration and contact time, while decreasing with increasing biosorbent particle size. The results suggest that acetylated Cissus populnea biosorbents have potential as an effective and low-cost alternative for the remediation of crude-oil spills.

There will be widespread damage to the land as a result of land degradation, particularly to forest land. Changes in land use from extremely durable vegetation to escalated agrarian land make the dirt all the more handily disintegrated. One of the deciding variables of disintegration is soil disintegration and soil cover vegetation. Soil erodiability is the typical measure of soil lost every year per unit of the file, while the land cover is helpful for safeguarding the dirt from the danger of harm by disintegration and further developing soil conditions. The exploration was done from October 2022 to June 2023. In January 2013, field sampling was carried out. The technique utilized in this study was the review strategy and the purposive examining technique. Choose three points of observation. Then, in the laboratory, data analysis and field observation. Assessment of soil erodibility is completed by taking soil tests, deciding soil structure, soil porousness in the field, and deciding soil surface and natural matter for examination in the research center. Distinguishing proof of disintegration by taking documentation of kinds of disintegration that alludes to references and realities tracked down in the field. To decide the worth of erodibility (soil aversion to disintegration) utilizing a nomograph (soil erosibility). Results of the Study Soil erodibility on oil palm land in the Urung Kompas Village was low to medium, ranging from 0.17 to 0.26. The research site on oil palm land in the Urung Kompas subdistrict has five types of erosion: trench erosion, splash erosion, sheet erosion, furrow erosion, and landslides.

Abstract

Bush burning, whether the result of a wildfire or a controlled burn, has been shown to affect not only the appearance of the landscape, but the quality of the soil as well. Uncontrolled bush fires impact the soil in a variety of ways with the magnitude of the disturbance largely dependent upon the fire intensity, duration and recurrence, fuel load, and soil characteristics. The impact on soil properties is intricate, yielding different results based on these factors. Whereas burning off the vegetation during land clearing for cultivation is a common farming practice among farmers in many parts of the tropics, yet little is known by perpetrators of this practice about its impacts on the soil and its dwellers. This paper reviews research findings from a number of works conducted across the globe with the aim of gaining an insight the effects of wildfire and prescribed fire on the soil chemical and biological attributes. The knowledge of soils response in terms of these two properties to fire events can help in proper implementation of rehabilitation and restoration strategies at the short term, medium term, and long term.

Abstract

This research addresses the prevalence of arthritis in Indonesia, focusing on traditional medicinal plants like Ciplukan due to the side effects of synthetic treatments. Arthritis, affecting 23.6-31.3% of the population, with Osteoarthritis (50-60% in the elderly) being the most common, necessitates alternative, less toxic remedies. Traditional medicine, relying on plant-derived remedies, is explored for its accessibility, affordability, and lower side effects. The study delves into Ciplukan, known for its anti-arthritis properties, conducting in vitro tests on its methanol extract. Results reveal anti-arthritis activity attributed to steroids, flavonoids, and alkaloids. The methodology involves macroscopic and microscopic examinations of Ciplukan plants, verifying authenticity and confirming the accuracy of plant samples. Organoleptic assessments highlight distinctive features, contributing to the plant's identification. Microscopic examination reveals the presence of stomata and palisade cells in the upper epidermis, aligning with literature data. The vascular system analysis emphasizes the efficiency of resource transport and adaptation to environmental changes. In conclusion, the study provides a comprehensive understanding of Ciplukan's characteristics, supporting its potential in arthritis treatment. The findings contribute to the utilization of traditional medicine in healthcare, emphasizing the importance of plant-based remedies with fewer side effects.
