Abstract

Ants are social insects that play a vital role in maintaining ecosystem balance and can serve as ecological indicators of environmental change. This study aimed to determine the variation of ant species in habitats with varying levels of disturbance. Data collection methods included pitfall traps and bait traps at three different locations over two days. Data analysis was performed by calculating the Shannon-Wiener diversity index and observing species composition and abundance. The results showed that 7,350 individual ants were identified in five subfamilies and eleven genera. The genus Anoplolepis was the most dominant in this study. The diversity index value was moderate in more protected areas and low in more disturbed areas. Community diversity was influenced by several environmental parameters such as temperature, light intensity, and humidity. The results also showed that ant preferences for protein and carbohydrate baits varied across genera. In conclusion, the level of habitat disturbance influences the composition and structure of ant communities, which can be used as a basis for monitoring ecosystem conditions.

Abstract

The leaves of Cassia alata L. (Ketepeng cina) are known to have antifungal properties and can be used to treat fungal skin infections such as tinea versicolor and ringworm. The leaf extract of Cassia alata contains antimicrobial compounds that inhibit fungal growth. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of an antifungal emulgel containing ethanol extract of Cassia alata leaves in inhibiting the growth of dermatophyte fungi. This research was conducted from May to December 2024 at the Pharmacy Laboratory and Microbiology Laboratory of Cendrawasih University Jayapura. The plant samples were collected from Koya Barat, Jayapura City, and extracted using the maceration method with 96% ethanol. Phytochemical screening tests showed that Cassia alata leaves were positive for alkaloids, saponins, tannins, flavonoids, and phenols. The antifungal activity test of the ethanol extract emulgel formulation against Trichophyton rubrum, Microsporum canis, and Epidermophyton floccosum showed significance values lower than the commonly accepted level (α = 0.05), indicating that the null hypothesis (H₀) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H₁) was accepted. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the antifungal emulgel formulation containing ethanol extract of Cassia alata leaves is effective against Epidermophyton floccosum at a concentration of 1000.

Abstract

To promote sustainable development, learning must provide real-world experiences that train students to think systemically. One essential competency to be developed is systems thinking ability. This study aims to analyze the systems thinking skills of students in a nature-based school through Real-World Learning (RWL) based on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, which focuses on clean water and sanitation. A quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group design was employed. The study involved 42 eighth-grade students from Fathia Nature Junior High School in Sukabumi, assigned to experimental and control groups using a non-equivalent control group design. The findings showed that the average percentage scores of the experimental class were higher than those of the control class across all indicators. The highest indicators in the experimental class were recognizing hidden dimensions and making generalizations (each at 84%), while the lowest was identifying dynamic relationships (73%). The post-test results revealed a significant difference between the two classes (Sig. = 0.000 < 0.05). This study demonstrates that SDG 6-based RWL is effective in enhancing students’ systems thinking in environmental education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model, assisted by the Rabbit Dynamics Population media, on students' scientific attitudes towards ecosystem materials. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design (posttest-only control group design) involving three groups, namely the experimental class (PBL assisted by simulation media), the positive control class (PBL without media), and the negative control class (discovery learning). The research sample comprised 90 students from class X at SMA Negeri 1 Jatiwaras, selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument was a 23-item scientific attitude questionnaire using a Likert scale that met validity and reliability criteria (α > 0.80). Data analysis was carried out using normality and homogeneity tests, followed by one-way ANOVA, with post hoc tests. The results showed a significant difference in students' scientific attitudes between groups (Sig. < 0.05), with the experimental class having the highest average compared to the positive and negative control classes. Further tests showed that the experimental classes differed significantly from the two control classes, while there was no significant difference between the positive and negative control classes. The increase in scientific attitudes in the experimental class is evident in the indicators of critical thinking, creativity, cooperation, and perseverance. These findings show that integrating the PBL model with the Rabbit Dynamics Population simulation media effectively improves students' scientific attitudes, and it is therefore recommended as a biology learning innovation to support 21st-century skill development.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia that induces oxidative stress and inflammation, contributing to hematological dysfunction and increased systemic risk. This study comparatively evaluated the effects of D-allulose and neoagarooligosaccharides (NAOS) on hematological parameters in BALB/c mice with type 2 diabetes induced by streptozotocin. Experimental groups consisted of control, negative control, positive control (metformin), and treatment groups receiving D-allulose (0.05, 0.1, 0.2 g/kg BW) or NAOS (100, 200, 400 mg/kg BW) orally for 28 days. Hematological assessments included red blood cell (RBC) count, erythrocyte indices (hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular hemoglobin), leukocyte count, and lymphocyte levels. Negative controls displayed decreased RBC parameters and lymphocytes, with elevated leukocytes, indicating hematological impairment associated with hyperglycemia. D-allulose improved RBC count, hemoglobin, and MCH, while reducing leukocyte count and elevating lymphocytes, especially at lower doses. NAOS primarily enhanced erythrocyte quality by improving hemoglobin, hematocrit, and MCH, while also modulating leukocyte and lymphocyte profiles. Overall, D-allulose was more effective in restoring erythrocyte quantity, whereas NAOS contributed more prominently to erythrocyte index improvement. Both agents show potential in reducing hematological disorders associated with inflammation in diabetes cases.

Abstract

Making intact preparations to observe the anatomical structure of plants and animals in biological practicum activities requires effective dyes. Synthetic dyes such as safranin are commonly used, but they are relatively expensive, carcinogenic, and less environmentally friendly. This study aimed to examine the effect of variations in concentration and duration of staining using telang flower extract (Clitoria ternatea) on the quality of the whole plant preparation Hydrocotyle umbellata. The study was conducted experimentally with a combination of concentration treatment (70%, 80%, and 90%) and duration of staining (15 and 30 minutes). The quality of the preparations was assessed using assessment parameters which included clarity of anatomical structure, colour contrast and colour distribution. The data obtained were analyzed to determine the best treatment combination, as well as compared with safranin-stained and no-staining control preparations. Results showed that increasing concentration and duration of staining had an effect on the quality of the preparation results. The combination of concentrations of 80% of the 15-minute duration of staining gave the best results with the identification of trichomes, strong color contrast and even color. Based on these results, telang flower extract has the potential to be used as a natural dye alternative to safranin which is safer, more economical and more environmentally friendly.

Abstract

Laboratories play an important role in biology learning, especially in specimen observation-based practicums. However, the Biology Education Laboratory at Timor University does not yet have preserved invertebrate specimens as supporting media, necessitating the development of alternative learning media. This study aims to develop preserved invertebrates to improve the quality of invertebrate zoology practicums. The development was carried out using the ADDIE model, including analysis through needs surveys, media design with sampling and design preparation, development through expert validation and revision processes, implementation in practicums through pretests, posttests, and student response questionnaires, and summative evaluation to assess the effectiveness of the media. The evaluation results showed an increase in student understanding after using preserved invertebrate media, so this development was considered effective in supporting practicum activities and improving the quality of biology learning at Timor University. The result development of preservation media for invertebrate animals has been successfully carried out through validity test by material expert tests (84%), media expert tests (80%). Preservation media for invertebrate animals has a high practicality value (82%) & high effectiveness (80%). The different pretest rate (65) and posttest rate (84,5) results are quite significant and have a correlation due to the presence of preservation media for invertebrate animals.

Abstract

Teacher centered biology learning results in low cognitive learning outcomes for students. Pedagogical innovation that systematically integrates investigative approaches with technology is needed. This study aims to analyze the effect of the Guided Inquiry learning model integrated with the SAMR (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition) model on student learning outcomes in biology lessons on the respiratory system. A quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group was employed, involving 65 Grade XI students from a state senior high school in South Tangerang City, drawn through purposive sampling. The experimental class of 32 students received Guided Inquiry learning integrated with SAMR, while the control class of 33 students received Guided Inquiry without SAMR integration. Data were gathered using pretest and posttest instruments in multiple-choice format, which had been validated and tested for reliability. The analytical procedures encompassed N-Gain calculation, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, Levene's homogeneity test, and the Mann-Whitney U test. Findings indicated that the average posttest score of the experimental class (97.57) exceeded that of the control class (90.36) with a difference of 7.21 points, , with an N-Gain of experimental class 84.10 in the high category. The Mann-Whitney U test yielded an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 (< 0.05), confirming a statistically significant effect. The use of Guided Inquiry combined with the SAMR model had a significant impact on student learning outcomes, as it was shown to effectively improve the quality of biology learning.

Abstract

Understanding feeding behavior in captive primates is important for improving ex-situ conservation and animal welfare management. This study analyzed the feeding duration and food composition of captive Müller's gibbons (Hylobates muelleri) at Gembira Loka Zoo, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Observations were conducted for 60 days using scan sampling at 1-minute intervals on one adult male and one adult female. Feeding duration for each food category was quantified and analyzed descriptively, while differences between individuals were evaluated using the Mann–Whitney test. Fruits constituted the largest proportion of the diet for both individuals. Adult males spent 60% of feeding duration consuming fruits, 15% tubers, and 17% leaves, whereas adult females spent 79% consuming fruits, 14% tubers, and 7% leaves. Statistical analysis indicated no significant difference in feeding duration between individuals. The findings demonstrate that captive feeding practices generally reflect the frugivorous tendencies of Müller’s gibbons observed in natural habitats. This study contributes preliminary information for improving dietary management, ex-situ conservation strategies, and contextual biology learning related to animal behavior and conservation.
