Abstract

The aim of this research was to find out anti-cholesterol activity intomato extract (Lycopersicon esculentum) on blood lipid profile and its potential application in the prevention of atherosclerosis in rats fed with high cholesterol diet. This research employed a complete randomized design with unidirectional pattern by using white rats (Rattus norvegicus) divided into five groups. Negative control group was fed with standard diet, while positive control groups were fed with high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) diet, group K were fedwith tomato extract at a dose of 10, 20, and 40 mg/kg together with high cholesterol diet. The result of this researchshowed that high cholesterol diet fed decreased simultaneously with tomato extract at a dose of 10, 20, and 40 mg /kg of rats after 60 days of treatment. Tomato extract was able prevent the formation of plaque in the coronary arteries of rats fed with hypercholesterolemia diet. Effective dose oftomatoextractused in this study was 20-40mg/kg.

Abstract

Many researchers conduct research using the classification method, to find out the best method for predicting the class of an observation. Some of these studies explain that random forest is the best method. However, the classification of data containing outliers and unbalanced data is a complicated problem. Many researchers are also conducting research to deal with these problems. In this study, we propose a winsorizing to deal with outliers by replacing the outlier values with the upper and lower limit values obtained from the interquartile range method and random oversampling to balance the data. It is also known that cases of the Human Development Index (HDI) in regencies/cities in eastern Indonesia vary widely, so cases of HDI in these areas can be used as case studies of data containing outliers and unbalanced data. The purpose of this study was to compare the performance of the random forest before and after the data were applied to the winsorizing and random oversampling to predict HDI in districts/cities in eastern Indonesia. Classification method random forest after handling data containing outliers and unbalanced data has better performance in terms of accuracy and kappa values, which are 96.43% and 93.41%, respectively. The variables of expenditure per capita and the mean years of schooling are the most important.

Abstract

Trichoderma sp are common fungi in the soil and play important role in decomposing of cellulose-rich. The distribution of Trichoderma sp (TBPH isolate) in litter layers of Acacia mangium was observed in two years’ old of health standing (2S) and Ganoderma sp-attacked standing (2G). The objectives of this research were to observe Trichoderma sp distributions in leaf litter layers and to determine of antagonistic ability of Trichoderma sp TBPH against Ganoderma sp (GBR isolate). Trichoderma sp in sawdust medium was spread above of F litter layer in 50 x 50 cm area. Total populations of Trichoderma were observed each month during eight months. Antagonistic activities of Trichoderma sp TBPH against Ganoderma sp GBR were tested by dual test method on PDA and PDA with litter powder (PDAS) media.  The results showed that populations of Trichoderma sp were fluctuating and the highest population on both standings of F layer   and were followed by H and L layers. Fluctuations of Trichoderma sp population on L layer were tended to follow rainfall fluctuations while those on F layer were tended to follow litter pH fluctuations. Antagonistic test showed that inhibition percentage of PDAS medium was lower than those of PDA medium indicating litter amendment on media being causes of lower antagonistic activities of Trichoderma sp.

Abstract

This report was aimed to describe the behavioral changes of catfish as observed before two different earthquakes hit the Province of Aceh, Indonesia in year of 2012. A number of 5 African’s catfish (Clarias gariepinus) were placed in an aquarium located in Gapang, Sukakarya Sub-district of Sabang Town, Aceh. Their behavior activities were observed manually at three different times (08.00 AM, 01.00 PM, and 05.00 PM) every day from 1st March up to 11th April 2012. The result of observation showed that the activity of catfish was different between all of them from 1st March 2012 up to morning observation on 11th April 2012. Most of those activities was not showed as very active behavior. However, their behavior was very active in the same pattern when observed at noon and afternoon times on 11 April 2012. On this date, there were two consecutive earthquakes happened at magnitude of 8 Richter Scale at 03.38 PM and 05.43 PM. The epicenter of this earthquake was in Simeulue, with the distance of more and less of 390 km from observation station of catfish in Gapang. It was noted that this abnormal behavior possibly showed as an indication of their ability to detect the increase of pre-seismic activity at 2.38 hours and 43 minutes before the two earthquakes. Perhaps, it is the result of their response to the increase of pre-seismic electromagnetic wave. Further continuous observation and research is needed to ensure the role of African’s catfish (Clarias gariepinus) as abio-sensor for the increase of seismic activity.

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

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have known anti-microbial properties and therefore have the potential to be used to control fungal plant pathogens. In this study we investigated the growth of a plant pathogenic fungus, Rhizoctonia solani (AG3-PT) in the presence of AgNPs. The effect of AgNPs at two different levels (20 and 50 mg L-1) on hyphal growth and sclerotium production and viability in R. solani was investigated. The results showed that at 20 mg AgNPs L-1 R. solani hyphal growth was reduced along with the production of sclerotia. The results indicate that AgNPs have the potential to control R. solani growth and subsequent development of plant disease symptoms.
