Abstract

Background: Access to safe drinking water remains a challenge in Sukadana Village due to geographic conditions, limited infrastructure, and financial constraints. The Danu Kerthi concept, rooted in Tri Hita Karana, promotes sustainable water management by balancing human, environmental, and spiritual aspects. Green finance, through green bonds and Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) schemes, enhances financial sustainability. Integrating these approaches with technology can ensure long-term water access through community, government, and private sector collaboration. Methods: This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach to explore phenomena related to access, management, and challenges of community-based drinking water sustainability in Sukadana Village, Karangasem. The data collection technique was carried out through in-depth interviews with 30 respondents who were selected using the purposive sampling method. The data obtained was analyzed inductively to identify relevant patterns and themes. Findings: Data were analyzed to identify key components and organized into specific indicators and sub-indicators, forming a comprehensive model for sustainable system development. The resulting framework includes aspects such as access to clean water, management systems, financial sustainability through green finance, challenges faced, and strategies grounded in local wisdom (Danu Kerthi concept). These findings are systematically presented to guide future policy and implementation efforts for resilient and inclusive water management systems. Conclusion: The creation of a well-defined and systematic model offers a practical foundation for improving the sustainability, resilience, and inclusiveness of water management, particularly in rural and culturally traditional communities. Integrating green finance with local wisdom, as reflected in the Danu Kerthi concept, enhances the long-term viability of community-based drinking water systems, as exemplified by the model implemented in Sukadana Village, Karangasem, Bali. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study intoduces a new approach to community based drinking water management by integrating the Danu Kerthi concept with green finance through Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) for sustainable funding.

Abstract

Background: The growing global burden of diabetes and the limitations of current treatments require sustainable alternatives. This study aims to evaluate the potential of the weedy genus Oldenlandia as a novel, sustainable resource for diabetes management by synthesizing evidence from agronomy, phytochemistry, and pharmacology. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using major scientific databases. A multidisciplinary search strategy was employed, and the collected data were integrated using narrative synthesis. Findings: The analysis shows that Oldenlandia species are resilient plants requiring low agricultural inputs. They are rich in bioactive compounds like iridoids and flavonoids, and preclinical studies confirm significant antidiabetic effects, including lowered blood glucose and reduced inflammation via mechanisms such as AMPK-NF-κB pathway modulation. Conclusion: Oldenlandia presents a promising and sustainable candidate for developing new antidiabetic therapies, bridging traditional use with scientific validation. Novelty/Originality: This review offers a novel, integrated perspective that simultaneously evaluates the agronomic feasibility and pharmacological potential of a weed for diabetes treatment, a unique approach not commonly found in existing literature.

Abstract

Background: Quails are livestock whose main products are eggs and meat. This plant is often referred to as a weed because its clinical benefits are not yet widely known to the public. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of adding babadotan (Ageratum conyzoides L.) leaf meal on the metabolizable energy of quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica). The research was conducted at the Quail House, Arkan Quail Farm (Jl. Bebengket, Cihideung Village, Ciampea District, Bogor Regency, 16620). Methods: The study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments: P0 = commercial feed without babadotan leaf meal (control), P1 = commercial feed with 1% babadotan leaf meal, P2 = commercial feed with 3% babadotan leaf meal, and P3 = commercial feed with 5% babadotan leaf meal. The observed variables included Apparent Metabolizable Energy (AME), Nitrogen-Corrected Apparent Metabolizable Energy (AMEn), total metabolizable energy consumption, and the AMEn/GE ratio. Findings: The results of this study showed that the addition of babadotan leaf meal (Ageratum conyzoides L.) in the diet significantly (P<0.05) affected the values of apparent metabolizable energy (AME) and nitrogen-corrected apparent metabolizable energy (AMEn), with a decrease observed in treatment R3 (diet containing 5% babadotan leaf meal). However, the results for metabolizable energy intake and the AMEn/GE ratio in quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were not significantly different or did not show a significant effect. Conclusion: The inclusion of babadotan leaf meal at a level of 5% in the diet can reduce the values of AME and AMEn. However, it did not significantly affect metabolizable energy intake or the AMEn/GE ratio. Novelty/Originality of this article: Therefore, the use of babadotan leaf meal in the diet is recommended only up to a concentration of 3%.

Abstract

Background: This study explores a strategy to decrease significant post-harvest losses due to spoilage. Edible coating on fruit can help maintain its quality and extend shelf life by slowing physiological processes such as respiration and transpiration. Method: The coating was formulated divided into two formulas, one is fresh cascara coating while other is dried cascara coating that was obtained by drying at 60 °C for 4 hours. Both 300 grams of cascara were extracted by maceration with 96% ethanol (ratio 1:2) for 24 hours. Extracts were mixed with 2.5% (w/v) chitosan solution, 4 g glycerol, and 0.1% Tween 80, then homogenized using a magnetic stirrer. Washed and air-dried snake fruit fruits were dipped in the coating solution, dried at 50 °C for 30 minutes. The coating formulation included food grade glycerol as a plasticizer and was applied using a dipping method. Snake fruit that has been coated with the solution stored at room temperature and evaluated for its shelf life and antimicrobial activity. Finding: This research utilized cascara extract as the main ingredient of an edible coating applied to snake fruit. As a result, cascara can be used into functional materials since it has been investigated as a natural source of bioactive compounds, particularly phenolics, with notable antimicrobial potential and bioactive content of polyphenols. When applied as a snake fruit coating, cascara-based edible coating can inhibit microbial growth and extend shelf life while maintaining fruit quality. Conclusion: This approach can be applied to underutilized by-products from coffee beans, reducing dependency on synthetic preservatives and plastics while also offering a promising alternative for antimicrobial edible coating to promote valorization, circular economy practices, and innovation in food packaging. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research introduces a novel application of coffee cherry by-products (cascara) specifically formulated for snake fruit (Salacca zalacca), a tropical commodity with unique preservation challenges.

Abstract

Background: Carbon-based nanoparticle classes consisting of various subgroups based on morphology and crystallinity are called carbon dots (CQDs). The physical, chemical, and optical properties of CQDs can be modified using the simple pot synthesis technique. Additionally, its non-toxic nature, biocompatibility, physical and chemical responsiveness, resistance to chemical and photo bleaching, and low cost make it suitable for various purposes, such as biomedical imaging applications. Biomass waste, which has been widely discarded without economic utilization and potential, can surprisingly be used as a precursor for CQDs. Method: The literature was systematically collected from major databases. Studies from 2017–2025 were analyzed based on synthesis strategies, surface functionalization, and biological performance. Its potential in the medical field is highly advantageous. CQDs have fluorescence that is useful for biomedical imaging both in vivo and in vitro. The hydrothermal carbonization approach is also discussed in more detail, highlighting its green and sustainable synthesis, as well as the ease of the synthesis process. Finding: It was found that CQDs have compatibility and adjustable optical properties. Its fluorescence can clearly record tissues, body care, aging, and living cells. Utilizing renewable biomass precursors offers an environmentally friendly and cost-effective route for synthesizing fluorescent nanoprobes with excellent water solubility, tunable emission, and low cytotoxicity. Additionally, in vitro studies reinforce CQDs as multicolor fluorescent probes, and in vivo studies demonstrate that CQDs have low toxicity, rapid clearance, are safe, and biocompatible. Conclusion: This paper delves into the remarkable potential of CQDs to provide insights into how fluorescent inks are truly essential in biomedical imaging. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides a comprehensive and updated synthesis of CQD research spanning up to 2025, specifically focusing on the transition from "waste to nanoprobe."
