Abstract

Treatment of diabetes mellitus is intended to reduce the risk of blindness, kidney failure, neuropathy and heart disease that can develop due to the chronic increase in the blood glucose level. The selected hypoglycemic agents should be effective, safe and readily available. The widely used agents work by interrupting enzymes responsible for glucose regulation. Those enzymes are α-amilase, α-glucosidase, dipeptidyl peptidase-IV, aldose reductase and angiotensin converting enzyme. A medicinal plant, fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) has been used as an antidiabetic folk medicine. This review provides information related to in vitro studies showing antihyperglycemic activity of fenugreek along with an in vivo study in animals. In addition, potential phytochemicals that have been isolated from this plant are described and play a role in the searching for the most potent agents for diabetes mellitus therapy.

Abstract

This research aims to synthesize polyurethane membrace from avocado seed oil as a source of hydrixyl (-OH) and hexametylhene -1.6-dissocyanate (HDMI) as a source of isocynate (-NCO). The oil were extracted from avocado seeds at temperature of  60-80oC for 2 hours using n-hexane solvent. The results of FTIR spectrum analysis from avocado seed oil showed that there were -OH clusters absorption on the wavelength number of 3393.819 cm-1, thus this oil can be used to synthesize polyurethane membrane. The isocyanate composition, time and temperature during synthesis process of polyurethane membrane were varied. The polyurethane membrane were moulded in petri dishes, then heated up for 48 hours on the temperature of  70oC, and finally taken out from its mould. The characteristics of the polyurethane membrane from avocado seed oil are brown in colour, homogenous, elastic, solid, transparent and shaped like a membrane. The measurements from FTIR spectrum showed that the -NCO clusters are no longer present. This condition happened because there were no more absorption in the wavelength number of  2270 cm-1 . It can be concluded that the isocyanate has completely reacted during polymerization and the curing process, thus urethane was created in the 1699,965 cm-1 absorption which was the urethane C=O clusters absorption.

Abstract

Moringa has many ingredients of nutrients that are beneficial for food sources and nutrients that have not been widely cultivated. The nutritional content, benefits and high demand for Moringa abroad will open large opportunities for exporting Moringa flour. Foods full of nutrition will support the maintenance of good public health. For this reason, it is necessary to study and research cultivation techniques that produce high Moringa leaves and can be available sustainably. Production of Moringa leaves as a source of secondary metabolites can be increased by modifying the planting media and applying Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) and Nitrogen. The study used Split Split Plot Design with the main plot immersion by PGR, consisting of 3 types, namely: G1 (Fresh water), G2 (Coconut water), and G3 (GA3). The subplot was the treatment of planting media with two types: M (soil: sand: manure = 1:1:2); M (soil: sand: manure = 1:2:1). The sub subplots were N (urea) fertilizer, with four levels: N0 (0 g/plant); N1 (5 g/plant); N (10 g/plant); and N (15 g/plant). Each treatment combination goes over three times. The agronomic parameters observed were plant height, the number of leaves, fresh crop weight, and root volume, and the biochemical parameters observed were chlorophyll, protein, and calcium levels. The composition of the planting media caused significant differences in plant height at 4, 6, and 10 weeks after planting (WAP), the number of leaves at 4 WAP, and root length at 10 WAP. Growth Regulators significantly affected plant height at 4, 6, and 10 WAP, the number of leaves at 4 WAP, and root length at harvest. Nitrogen fertilization caused significant differences in plant height at 4, 6, and 10 WAP, volume, and root length at harvest (10 WAP). The combination of Planting media, PGR, and Nitrogen treatments caused significant differences in plant height at 4, 6, and 10 WAP and the number of leaves at 6 WAP. Laboratory analysis in this study showed high calcium and protein in Moringa leaves.

Abstract

Crocidolomia pavonana is an important pest of broccoli plants. Pest control is currently still using chemical pesticides that negatively impact the environment. It is hoped that Beauveria bassiana will become one of the environmentally friendly bioinsecticides. The research aimed to study the virulence level of conidia density of B. bassiana as a bioinsecticide against C. pavonana pests on broccoli plants. This experiment used a completely randomized design consisting of 5 treatments and four replications so that 20 experimental units were obtained. The Basic Plant Protection Laboratory and Plant Pest Science Laboratory Faculty of Agriculture, Syiah Kuala University as the research location, which was carried out from January to September 2021. The parameters observed were larval mortality, pupae formed, imago appeared, an incubation period of B. bassiana conidia, and average time of C. pavonana. The results showed that B. bassiana with conidia density of 108/mL distilled water was effective as a bioinsecticide against C. pavonana. The highest percentage of C. pavonana mortality observed at 6 Days After Application (DAA) occurred at a density of 108 conidia/mL of water (97.50%), and the lowest was at a density of 102 conidia/mL of distilled water (62.50%). The percentage of pupae formed was observed. At 7, DAA was 15% using a density of 102 conidia /mL aquadest. Produce 5%, a density of 104 conidia/mL of distilled water was used. The percentage of imago that appeared with a conidia density of 102/mL of distilled water killed at 14 DAA yielded 15%, and 5% resulted from a density of 104 conidia/mL of distilled water. The fastest incubation occurred at a density of 108 conidia/mL of distilled water with a time of 3.50 days. Death of C. pavonana at 3.03 days required conidia density of B. bassiana 102/mL of distilled water.

Abstract

A thorough understanding of an earthquake is very important to provide a descriptive knowledge and in the same time as a prescriptive knowledge for the future development. In particular, it is essential for site selection and structural design development of nuclear reactor and other critical facilities. Ground motion acceleration time history is an important raw information to understand the earthquake and specific geological condition of where the data is recorded. This paper presented the development of strong-motion analysis code, called Winston-BATAN, which able to interpret ground motion time history. The analysis scope of the code including the ground motion parameters such as peak ground acceleration, several additional seismic intensity parameters, strong motion duration, its frequency content via Fast Fourier Transformation and response spectra analysis. Being developed based on an open source Python programming language, Winston-BATAN is flexible for exploratory study to exploit the ground motion time history and easily improve to accommodate additional features. This code able to read input from PEER NGA type file or a simple time and acceleration data type of ground motion. Analysis results of Winston-BATAN shows a very good agreement compare to the results from the standard tools Seismosignal® 2018 Software, in addition flexibility of this code, in particular, to explore the response spectra from the ground motion time history is demonstrated.
