Abstract

Research on antidiabetic activity of ethanol leaf extracts Kluwih (Artocarpus camansi) has been carried out to determine the antidiabetic activity of ethanol extract of leaves kluwih (EELK) of mice using glucose tolerance test. The study began by dividing the mice into 6 groups. Group 1 was given 1% CMC, group 2 to group 4, given EELK 50, 100, 200, 400 mg / kg bw, respectively, and group 6  administered with glibenclamide 0.45 mg/kg bw. Thirty minutes later each group was given glucose 30 mg/kg bw. After 30 min of glucose loading, blood glucose levels of mice were measured, and measured again at minute 60, 90, 120 and 150 minutes. The results showed that the glucose tolerance test EELK a significant effect in lowering blood glucose levels compared to controls at 30 and 60 minutes after administration of glucose. At minute 90 to 150, the effect of blood glucose levels EELK restore back to normal. EELK demonstrated ability to reduce blood glucose levels, and EELK doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg bw showed antidiabetic effects better than a dose of 200 and 400 mg/kg bw. Increasing doses showed antagonistic effects: the ability to increase blood glucose levels.

Abstract

Doxorubicin as a chemotherapy agent is most widely used in cancer treatment. Long-term use at a predetermined dose has a side effect, namely cardiotoxicity. Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity is considered to be caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), which is also characterized by increasing CK-MB enzyme levels in the blood. To reduce the impact of doxorubin-induced toxicity, a study was conducted on natural antioxidant sources with cardioprotective capabilities in vivo. Phyllanthus emblica L. fruit was used as a sample for a natural source of antioxidants extracted using ethanol. Then performed a phytochemical screening of secondary metabolites contained in it. This extract was administered orally in various doses to the experimental animal Wistar rats and the induced doxorubicin to these animals. The CK-MB enzyme levels were measured, and the heart organ histopathology test was performed. The results of this study indicate that P. emblica L. fruit extract contains alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids, phenolics, and triterpenoids compounds. Extract treatment at a 400 mg/kg BW dose showed the best reduction in CK-MB levels with great improvements in regular arrangement and shape of myocardial muscle cells of cardiac tissue. The sample extract at a 400 mg/kg BW dose showed remarkably decreasing of CK-MB great improvements of heart tissue on doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. This study showed the potential protective effect of P. emblica L. against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract

Adobe Flash is a software that is used to build an interactive contents that can be attached in other things, such as presentations, games and e-learning. The Eulerian Circuit Search Instructional Media is one of examples in using Adobe Flash in building an interactive instructional media to solve graph theory problems. Visually, Adobe Flash is better than other programming software in general and it is the most suitable one for graph theory, as it uses graphics and visuals to solve problems. The weakness of Adobe Flash is when doing large scale calculations; such as when testing algorithms to find Eulerian circuits. Then an idea came about to complete the large scale calculations in Adobe Flash, which is commonly known as script time limit, with using other methodologies by changing script time limit on the settings, algorithms, partition the processes, and utulize the timers within the objects in the actionscript that handles the search algorithms of searching Eulerian circuit.

Abstract

One indication of a potential landslide area is a formation along the slip field slope. The slope is formed due to the difference between the cover layers (top soil) with a layer beneath it. The top layer is usually a layer of soil that passes the water so that it could be easily infiltrated into the slope. However, rain water infiltrated into the soil or are often not able to enter deeper into the ground because there is an impermeable layer which forms the slope area. Geoelectric resistivity method is generally used for shallow exploration, approximately to depth of 300 to 500 meter. The principle of the method is that the electrical current injected into the earth through two current electrodes, while the potential difference that occurs is measured through two potential electrodes. From the results of measurements of currents and electric potential difference can be obtained by variation of value of electrical resistivity in the layer below the measuring point. The resistivity value can show the bedding soils and on which one is the layer of slip field. From this study we expected the resistivity 2D cross section that shows the depth and dimensions of the field of slip on the slope studied so as to provide recommendations on the appropriate method of stabilizing slopes.

Abstract

Diabetes is defined as a chronic hyperglycemia which should be countered by the effective, safe and readily available hypoglycemic agents. Herbal is among alternatives that has been used by society for years but lacks of documented evidences. Tinospora crispa (TC) is enriched by phytochemicals which potentially reduce blood glucose thus is useful for diabetic patients. This study aimed to investigate the potency of TC inreducing blood sugar and body weight. It involved 30 healthy rats divided into 5 groups namely: normal control, normal fed with TC extract, diabetic, TC-treated diabetic (dose 500 mg/kg w/w), and vitamin E-traeted diabetic rats (60 IU). The body weight and fasting blood glucose were measured each week for 1 month. The administration of TC extract 500 mg/kg (w/w) helps to maintain body weight in diabetic rats and reduce the fasting blood glucose. TC is highly potent as hypoglycemic agents therefore needed to be explored further.

Abstract

An experiment had been carried out on formation of Bi-2212 crystals with the self-flux method. Flux was used and derived from CuO and CaCO3. The process of synthesis was equipped with the melting process at temperature 890 °C with time variation of melting 35 minutes and 40 minutes, followed by slow cooling at a rate of 1°C/hour for 70 hours. The results were obtained and characterized by XRD test. This research aimed to produce superconducting materials with self-flux method, calculate the percentage of the value of the volume fraction, the percentage of oriented phase and impurities. Samples generated from XRD measurements were made to match with the XRD Strobell’s pattern of the superconducting Bi-2212 standards. The results showed that the value of the volume fraction of 2212 phase and the phase of the highest oriented melting at 40 minutes were equal to 67.68% and 38.89%, while the smallest impurity phase of 32.32% were obtained at the same time melting.
