Abstract

Invasive plants are plants that can interfere with other plant life because invasive plants use competition and harm the host they live on. Animal conservation is currently the focus of research so that biodiversity is always maintained in the National Park such as mantangan (Merremia peltata (L.) Merr.) Chromolaena odorata (L), Stachtarpheta jamaicensis. Based on the way of life and rapid reproduction of this invasive plant, it disturbs the habitus of other plants in developing so that it can damage the food chain in the National Park. Conservation of animals in National Park must be in line with the conservation of the surrounding ecology so that the natural ecosystems in the National Parks and biodiversity are fully preserved.

Abstract

The identification of Vibrio sp. bacteria in the water of intensive and traditional ponds for vannamei shrimp in Teluk Pambang Village was conducted from March to June 2023. The aim of this research was to calculate the quantity of Vibrio sp. bacteria, understand the morphological characteristics, and identify the various types of Vibrio sp. bacteria in the water of intensive and traditional ponds for vannamei shrimp. The sampling involved collecting water from 2 bottles each from intensive and traditional ponds. Subsequently, Vibrio isolation from the water was cultured on selective TCBS media through three dilution steps. The bacterial count was then determined. Further, bacterial cultures from different colonies were streaked on TSA media, followed by identification through a series of morphological observations and biochemical tests. The research results indicate that the presence of Vibrio bacteria in intensive ponds complies with the maximum threshold and quality standards for a favorable environment for both the pond and shrimp. However, for traditional ponds, there is an abundance of Vibrio bacteria exceeding the threshold, where the maximum limit or good quality standard for Vibrio in the environment and shrimp is 103 CFU/ml. The morphological characteristics found include a round shape, green and yellow color, and a flat edge with emerging elevations. Furthermore, infections of Vibrio hollisae, Vibrio anguillarum, and Vibrio damsela were identified in the water of intensive and traditional ponds for vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in Teluk Pambang Village, Bengkalis Regency.

Abstract

This research was carried out in June 2023; the research location was on the coast of Kampung Beran, Tanjung Harapan, Meranti Islands Regency. This research aims to determine the type and abundance of beach litter, analyze the differences in the type and abundance of beach waste between stations, and analyze the type and abundance of beach litter between sampling times. Beach litter data collection was taken at three stations, with each station 25m in distance. Each station has three transect lines with nine plots or quadrants measuring 5×5 m2 with a distance between plots of 5m. Sampling was conducted during low tide and on weekdays (Tuesday, Wednesday) and weekends (Saturday, Sunday). Based on the research results, five types of beach litter were found, namely plastic (40%), iron/metal materials (5%), broken glass/ceramic (31%), rubber (3%), wood (11%), and others (10%). The highest abundance of waste occurred on weekdays (10,59 units/m2), and the lowest waste occurred on weekends (7,97 units/m2). ANOVA analysis and independent sample test show that the abundance of beach litter waste between stations and between sampling times did not have significant differences (P > 0.05).

Abstract

Chitosan extracted from vannamei shrimp shells has the potential to act as an attractant for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) while also enhancing growth performance and digestibility in various fish species. This study evaluated the impact of chitosan supplementation in feed on Tilapia's growth rate and digestibility. The experiment was designed using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatment groups and three replications. Fish were fed diets containing chitosan at 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% for 56 days. 525 tilapia fingerlings (2.50±0.41 g) were stocked in 15 floating net cages (1x1x1 m3). Feed was provided at 10% of the fish biomass three times daily at 08:00 AM, 01:00 PM, and 05:00 PM. The results indicated that chitosan supplementation significantly (P<0.05) influenced Tilapia's specific growth rate and digestibility. Among the tested levels, the 4% chitosan treatment yielded the highest values, including overall digestibility (52.38%), protein digestibility (74.72%), protein retention (27.27%), feed efficiency (34.77%), specific growth rate (3.33%), and 100% survival rate. These findings suggest that incorporating chitosan into tilapia feed can enhance growth performance and nutrient utilization.

Abstract

The potential of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs), in general has not been optimally utilized. The processing of NTFPs for the people of Koto Sentajo Village is still not the primary source of income for the community but is part of fulfilling daily living needs. This study aims to determine the types of NTFP utilization and their contribution to the economy of the community in Koto Sentajo Village. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach, and primary data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews using purposive sampling techniques. Data were analyzed quantitatively. The results of this study found that the types of NTFPs utilized by the people of Koto Sentajo Village are fruits and medicinal plants; the types of fruits are keranji (Dialium indum), tampui (Baccaurea macrocarpa), geruntang (Phoebe grandis), cempedak (Artocarpus fretessii), forest durian (Durio zibethinus), kulim (Scrodocarpus borneensis), petai (Parkia speciosa), and barangan (Castanopsis argentea). In contrast, the types of medicinal plants most widely utilized are sepico (Eurycoma longifolia Jack) and rosam (Dicranopteris linearis). The contribution of NTFPs to the people's economy in Koto Sentajo Village is 5.6% of the total income of the community, or around IDR 1,519,851/person/year, to the average total income of IDR 26,983,265/person/year

Abstract

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection is associated with serious complications, including liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) is a transcription factor that regulates the expression of antioxidant genes, helping protect cells and tissues from oxidative stress, a process involved in the pathogenesis of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). This study aimed to determine the distribution of NRF2 polymorphisms in CHB patients and their association with complications. The study included 68 CHB patients, with 33 having no complications and 35 with complications (Cirrhosis and HCC). Genotyping of the NRF2 polymorphisms, rs35652124 (A→G) and rs6721961 (C→A), was performed using confronting two-pair primers and polymerase chain reaction (PCR-CTPP). The serum levels of bilirubin, albumin, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were measured using commercial kits. The mean age of subjects was 45.34±1.32 years old on average. There was no significant difference in mean bilirubin and ALT levels between patients with and without CHB complications. However, patients without complications had significantly higher albumin levels than those with complications (4.0±0.8 vs. 3.37±0.7 g/dL; p<0.05). The most common genotypes for NRF2 rs35652124 were AG (51.85%), AA (40.74%), and GG (7.41%), while for NRF2 rs6721961, the were CA (51.47%), CC (45.59%), and AA (2.94%). The distribution of NRF2 genotypes did not differ significantly between CHB patients with and without complications (p>0.05). This study suggests that NRF2 gene polymorphisms may not contribute to the development of Cirrhosis and HCC in CHB. Further research with a larger sample size is needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract

The study on carbon reserves in sediment within Pangkalan Jambi Village, Bengkalis Regency's mangrove ecosystem, was conducted from June to 2024. This research aimed to analyze carbon reserves in the sediment of the mangrove ecosystem in Pangkalan Jambi Village, Bengkalis Regency, Riau Province. The study employed field survey methods and laboratory analyses, focusing on three stations with varying mangrove densities. Results revealed nine mangrove species, dominated by Rhizophora mucronata. The average mangrove density was 2,611 individuals/ha, with a carbon reserve of 43.25 tons/ha across all stations. The study found a positive correlation (r = 0.528) between mangrove density and carbon reserves, explaining 27.98% of the total variation. Furthermore, carbon reserves showed no significant differences across sediment depths. These findings emphasize the importance of mangrove conservation for carbon storage, contributing to climate change mitigation. Further biomass and species-specific carbon storage research is recommended to optimize mangrove management strategies.
