Abstract

This study examines the use of sawi langit (Cyanthillium cinereum) as an alternative traditional treatment for worm infections, which is one of the causes of stunting in children. Stunting is a major health issue in Indonesia, with a high prevalence in Maluku Province. The study was conducted in Kelurahan Pandan Kasturi, Kecamatan Sirimau, Kota Ambon, using a descriptive qualitative approach to explore the use of sawi langit as a worm treatment passed down through generations. The findings show that the local community effectively uses sawi langit decoction to prevent and treat worm infections in children. This plant contains active compounds such as flavonoids and tannins, which have anti-parasitic and antioxidant properties, effectively minimizing the negative impact of worm infections while supporting overall health. The simple method of boiling sawi langit reflects the utilization of local wisdom as an affordable health solution. The study suggests the need for further research to detail the active compounds and conduct clinical trials on humans to optimize its medical benefits. Thus, sawi langit has the potential to contribute to stunting prevention through a natural, affordable approach, while also preserving valuable traditional knowledge.

Abstract

This research aims to improve students' understanding of disaster mitigation through the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach. PBL is a student-centered learning method, in which they are actively involved in solving real problems, in this case, natural disasters. The implementation of PBL in the context of disaster mitigation is expected to increase students' awareness and readiness to face potential disasters in their environment. The research was conducted with a descriptive quantitative approach, involving high school students living in disaster-prone areas. The results showed that the implementation of PBL significantly improved students' understanding of disaster mitigation measures, such as risk identification, evacuation planning, and self-rescue. In addition, students also demonstrate improved skills in working collaboratively to solve complex problems. Through group discussions and disaster simulations, students are better able to apply theory into real practice. These findings show that PBL is an effective method in disaster mitigation education, because it is able to integrate problem-based learning with practical experience. Thus, PBL can be a widely adopted learning strategy to increase the readiness of the younger generation to face future disaster threats.

Abstract

The implementation of environmental education (PLH) in tourist areas plays a crucial role in ensuring environmental sustainability amid increasing tourism activities. This study aims to analyze the application of PLH at Santai Beach, located in Nusaniwe District, Latuhalat Village, Ambon City. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with informants including local residents, beach managers, village government, and visitors. Data were collected through interviews, direct observations, and documentation in the field. The findings reveal that local residents and visitors have a fairly good awareness and understanding of the importance of preserving the environment. Beach managers have implemented aspects of PLH, including activities like recycling plastic waste into crafts and creating compost from organic waste. However, challenges remain, as some visitors have yet to fully adopt environmentally friendly behaviors, such as proper waste disposal. Based on these findings, there is a need to enhance PLH implementation through more structured and sustainable programs. These can include further education for visitors and the provision of adequate facilities to support environmentally friendly behavior. In conclusion, the implementation of PLH at Santai Beach positively impacts environmental awareness among the community, but further efforts are required to strengthen visitor engagement.

Abstract

This study evaluates the productivity and economic feasibility of cultivating Clitoria ternatea L. using three planting systems: monoculture, intercropping with Zea mays L., and intercropping with Oryza sativa L. The research, conducted on sustainable agricultural land without the use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, aims to assess the impact of intercropping on the productivity of telang flower and the associated economic benefits. The results show that monoculture produced the highest productivity at 11.3 ± 0.6 grams per plant, which was significantly higher than the intercropping systems, where the productivity of telang flower was 8.7 ± 0.3 grams with corn and 7.6 ± 0.2 grams with rice. Statistical analysis using Tukey HSD test revealed significant differences between monoculture and the intercropping treatments (p < 0.05). Although the productivity was lower, intercropping with corn proved to be more economically beneficial, generating a net income of Rp 5.7 per plant, with a benefit-cost ratio (BCR) of 1.63 and a return on investment (ROI) of 163%, compared to monoculture which produced a net income of Rp 4.5 per plant, BCR of 1.50, and ROI of 150%. In contrast, intercropping with rice yielded the lowest economic benefit, with a net income of Rp 4.7 per plant and a BCR of 1.24. These findings suggest that, although intercropping with corn results in lower productivity, this system is more economically profitable and may be a better choice for enhancing income and land use efficiency in sustainable agriculture.

Abstract

This study analyzes the dynamics of implementing sustainability accounting standards in enhancing financial transparency and accountability. Various key standards, such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Sustainability Disclosure, and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), have been adopted across different countries and industries to improve the disclosure of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) information. This study employs a literature review approach to evaluate the global variations in the implementation of sustainability standards, as well as the challenges and opportunities associated with their adoption. The findings indicate that adopting sustainability standards contributes to greater financial transparency by providing stakeholders with broader access to corporate financial and non-financial data. Additionally, corporate accountability is enhanced through stricter reporting obligations and active engagement with investors and regulators. However, several challenges hinder implementation, including the lack of harmonization of standards at the international level, high implementation costs, and limitations in collecting and verifying sustainability data. On the other hand, opportunities to improve the effectiveness of sustainability accounting implementation continue to grow with the adoption of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, and blockchain, as well as the increasing awareness of ESG factors among investors. This study recommends the need for global harmonization of sustainability standards, the utilization of technology in reporting processes, and capacity building for companies in preparing sustainability reports. Thus, sustainability accounting is not only a regulatory compliance tool but also a business strategy that supports long-term sustainability and enhances corporate competitiveness in the global market.
