Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the effect of learning models and learning styles on biology learning outcomes on Coordination System material. The problems behind this research are the low learning outcomes of biology (40% of students have not reached the KKM), monotonous learning methods, the diversity of student learning styles that have not been accommodated, the lack of application of innovative learning models, and learning that is still limited to memorization. The research objectives were to determine: (1) differences in biology learning outcomes between students taught with PJBL and PBL models, (2) differences in biology learning outcomes between students with visual and auditory learning styles, and (3) interaction between learning models and learning styles on biology learning outcomes. This study used a quasi-experimental method with a 2 x 2 factorial design. Data analysis used two-way ANOVA at a significant level of 0.05. The results showed that: (1) there is a difference in learning outcomes between students taught with PJBL and PBL models (sig. 0.40 < 0.05), (2) there is no difference in learning outcomes between students with audio and visual learning styles (sig. 0.671 > 0.05), and (3) there is no interaction between learning models and learning styles on biology learning outcomes (sig. 0.766 > 0.05).

Abstract

Fresh fruit bunches (FFB) of oil palm are processed into crude palm oil (CPO) and palm oil waste. Palm oil waste, such as empty fruit bunches (EFB), has traditionally been incinerated, leading to increased carbon emissions in the atmosphere. However, EFB can be utilized as organic fertilizer and mulch for oil palm cultivation. This study aims to analyze the conversion of EFB waste into organic fertilizer and mulch. The research was conducted at PT Perkebunan Nusantara VII Kertajaya, Banten Province, from July 2023 to August 2024. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Participants were selected using purposive sampling, involving 20 individuals. The results indicate that the process of converting EFB waste into organic fertilizer and mulch comprises two main stages: (1) the processing of FFB into EFB waste, which includes the following steps: a) weighing, b) sorting, c) loading ramp, d) sterilization, e) stripping, and f) empty bunch hopper; and (2) the transformation of EFB waste into organic fertilizer and mulch. The production process for organic fertilizer and mulch occurs naturally. The EFB waste is applied as organic fertilizer and mulch by spreading it on the soil around the oil palm trees.

Abstract

Problems often encountered in the breeding of selincah fish are that the maturation period of the male and female parent fish sometimes does not occur simultaneously. Reproductive biotechnology can be used to store sperm (sperm cryopreservation). Cryopreservation is a storage technique using a low temperature of -196oC. Extenders and cryoprotectants play an important role in the cryopreservation process. One of the extender materials that can be used is honey. This study was conducted to determine the best dose of honey as an extender material in cryopreserving selincah fish sperm. This study used a completely randomized design with four treatments and three replications. The treatments given were (P0) 100% ringer lactate solution, (P1) 0.25% honey + 99.75% ringer lactate solution, (P2) 0.5% honey + 99.50% ringer lactate solution, and (P3) 0.75% honey + 99.25% ringer lactate solution. The results of the study showed that pre-cryopreservation of selincah fish sperm included a sperm volume of 0.5 mL, sperm pH of 7, moderate sperm consistency, sperm movement duration of 120 seconds with a percentage of motility score of 5 (100%), and sperm viability of 89.50%. The post-cryopreservation study of selincah fish sperm for 14 days of storage showed the best results at P3 (0.75% honey) with a sperm motility score of 4 (90%) and sperm viability of 79.50%. Water quality data during the maintenance of selincah fish broodstock in this study were pH 6.0-7.5 and temperature 25.5 - 28.5oC.

Abstract

Hyperglycemia is a condition characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, which is a hallmark of diabetes mellitus. Prolonged hyperglycemia not only disrupts glucose homeostasis but also impairs the immune response. The condition of hyperglycemia in the body can increase free radicals and oxidative stress, thus can impair various macrophage functions, including their ability to engulf and eliminate pathogens. The bioactive constituents in Stachytarpheta sp. may contribute to reducing oxidative damage and enhancing immune system function. This study aims to evaluate both the antioxidant capacity and the immunomodulatory effects of Stachytarpheta sp. leaf extract on the phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages in alloxan-induced diabetic mice. Alloxan is widely used in research to induce hyperglycemia (diabetic conditions) in experimental animals. The antioxidant activity of the extract was evaluated using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging assay, while phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages was performed in vivo using male mice. Stachytarpheta sp. leaf extract from Beteng Sari Village, East Lampung has very strong antioxidant activity against DPPH with IC50 value 14,85 ± 0,30 μg/mL. This extract at doses of 200, 300, and 400 mg/kgBW can be an immunomodulator that maintains the phagocytic activity of macrophage cells in alloxan-induced mice.
