Abstract

The increase in population has an impact on the reduction in the area of ​​productive agricultural land due to land conversion for various needs. This causes a decrease in food production so that food availability is lower and unbalanced with the demand or needs of the population. It is essential to know the carrying capacity of land as an illustration of a region's ability to meet its population's basic needs. This study aims to analyze the occurrence of conversion of agricultural land and its impact on the carrying capacity of land on food security in Buleleng Regency. The research is qualitative and descriptive, utilizing secondary data on agricultural land area, harvested area, production value, and population in ten years (2012-2021). The results showed that the carrying capacity of food fields in Buleleng Regency was low because they could not be self-sufficient or were in a deficit condition. This is due to the rapid population increase and agricultural land conversion, especially paddy fields. The authors thank the reviewers and the IASSF team for supporting this research.

Abstract

Background: Anxiety disorders are a major global health burden, with recent WHO data indicating a 1.79% increase in case incidence rate (CIR) and a 6.25% rise in disability-adjusted life years (DALY) over the past five years. Conventional pharmacotherapies such as SSRIs and benzodiazepines are limited by adverse effects and dependency risks, highlighting the urgent need for safer, effective alternatives. Myristica fragrans (nutmeg) and Phyllanthus acidus (otaheite gooseberry) are rich in myristicin and flavonoids, respectively, both of which exhibit promising anxiolytic and neuroprotective properties. However, the synergistic efficacy and safety of their combined use remain underexplored. Methods: A comprehensive review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Out of 512 studies identified from Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and EBSCO, 36 met inclusion criteria after quality appraisal using CASP, with 2 clinical trials extracted for quantitative synthesis. Data extraction focused on changes in anxiety scores (e.g., HAM-A), stress biomarkers (cortisol, MDA), antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, CAT), and neurochemical modulation (serotonin, GABA, dopamine). Findings: analysis revealed that combined administration of nutmeg and otaheite gooseberry extracts reduced anxiety scores by a weighted mean difference (WMD) of –7.3 (95% CI: –9.1 to –5.5, p<0.001) on the HAM-A scale compared to placebo. Cortisol levels decreased by 18.4% (p=0.002), while MDA levels dropped by 22.7% (p=0.001), and SOD activity increased by 31.6% (p<0.001) in preclinical models. Myristicin (500 mg/kg) produced significant anxiolytic effects via serotonergic and GABAergic modulation, while flavonoids (1.2–3.5% content) provided robust neuroprotection against oxidative stress. No antagonistic interactions or increased toxicity were observed; the combination outperformed single extracts and showed comparable efficacy to SSRIs and benzodiazepines with fewer adverse effects. Conclusions: The integration of Myristica fragrans and Phyllanthus acidus extracts offers a synergistic, natural therapeutic approach for anxiety disorders, combining potent anxiolytic and neuroprotective effects with an excellent safety profile. Novelty/Originality of this article: This review is the first to quantitatively demonstrate the synergistic anxiolytic and antioxidant efficacy of nutmeg and otaheite gooseberry extracts, supporting their development as innovative functional candies for mental health management.

Abstract

Background: As an effort to reduce current climate change, conservation measures such as carbon stock measurements are needed. Tea plants are a suitable commodity for transforming towards low carbon production because perennial plants such as can absorb and store more carbon than seasonal agricultural crops. Methods: Sampling was carried out using a random sampling method that was taken randomly to represent a population for each block number. Data collection for the study was carried out by taking 3 soil and plant samples at each age of the tea plant with an age of 10 years, 30 years, 40 years, and 100 years. The plant samples taken were leaves, stems, roots, and litter. The soil samples taken were soil with a depth of 0-10 cm, 10-20 cm, and 20-30 cm with disturbed and undisturbed soil sampling. Findings: The total carbon stock value of tea plants stored in the Pemandangan Block UP Tambi is 63.17 tons/ha in 10-year-old tea plants; 67.26 tons/ha in 30-year-old tea plants; 67.87 tons/ha in 40-year-old tea plants; and 69.40 tons/ha in 100-year-old tea plants. After analyzing the relationship between physical and chemical properties of soil with biomass carbon reserves, C-Organic, soil texture, and soil volume weight are the parameters that most influence carbon reserve content. Conclusion: Plant age due to replanting and pruning, making them unsuitable for soil carbon stock estimation. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study offers novelty by integrating field-based carbon stock measurements of tea plants with variations in plant age and Sentinel-2A remote sensing analysis, providing a unique contribution to understanding the relationship between soil properties, biomass, and carbon storage capacity in tea plantations, which has not been extensively explored in previous research.
