Oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) are underutilized waste. The combination of OPEFB fermentation and eggshell powder as a planting medium, aims to determine the effect of the combination of treatment differences in OPEFB fermentation time and composition of growing media on the growth of amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor). This study consisted of 6 treatment combinations, 4 replications, completely randomized factorial design method, with the parameters of plant height (cm), number of leaves (strands), and total fresh weight (grams). Data were collected at the age of 7, 14 and 21 DAP. Analysis of variance and the smallest significant difference test (BNT) level 5% were used. The results of the analysis showed that the composition of the growing media had a significant effect (Fcount > Ftable), From the results of the study, it was found that the most optimal treatment for the composition of the growing media was W2K3 treatment with a composition of 3 kg of soil, 20 grams of eggshell powder, and 200 grams of OPEFB fermentation for 21 days. The interaction factor of these two factors had a significant effect (Fcount > Ftable) on plant height 21 DAP (4.697 > 3.55).

Mineral licks are areas rich in essential minerals where wildlife such as mammals and birds frequent to lick or eat soil (geophagy). Mineral licks are a beneficial site for animals since the behavior increases mineral intake and emulsifies toxins that enter the digestive system. The Belantikan Hulu area is known to have mineral licks in its forest area, two of which are frequently visited by various animals. The purpose of this research is to provide an overview of the ecological characteristics of two different mineral licks, as well as to identify the diversity of animals that use the area. The study was carried out in the Belantikan Hulu area, using the capture and recapture method as well as the laboratory process to identify minerals in mineral licks. The results of the sample analysis revealed that the mineral licks in the two areas contain Na, K, Ca, and Mg. When compared to other locations, the Penggaraman area has the highest concentration of three minerals. During the research period, 2.133 independent photos were captured at two mineral lick sites. A total of 16 animal species were recorded, including 10 species of mammals and six species of birds. There is a symbiotic interaction of mutualism between mammals and birds at the mineral lick, as well as a sympathetic interaction in primates. The ecological characteristics of mineral licks, such as minerals and distance from human activity, affect wildlife visits to mineral lick sites.

Ethnobotany has a significant impact for discovering medicine and food. The practice which is applied by traditional communities about their relation with plants in daily life can lead to research by scientist in order to seek the evidence from the local knowledge. Artocarpus altilis or known sukun as its local name, is one of a plants which widely used in Indonesia. A. altilis belong to Moraceae or mulberry family. Literature review was carried out in this research on A. altilis utilization as traditional medicine, local food, and any other uses by the traditional communities throughout Indonesia. Result showed that A. altilis is used by the traditional communities in almost region of Indonesia start from Sumatera, Java, Madura, Nusa Tenggara, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Maluku, and Papua except Bali. A. altilis is used as traditional medicine. Leaf is the most used part and the way these traditional communities process the medicine by boiling the leaf of A. altilis. Other plant part like fruit, root, and bark are also utilized as materials for traditional medicine. Some research support the use of A. altilis as medicine. However, in Indonesia the consumption of A. altilis is just as a snack food, served by frying it called ‘keripik sukun’ (re: breadfruit chips). The fruit of A. altilis is rich of nutrition source the like carbohydrate, protein, less fat, some minerals, and essential amino acid. A. altilis is capable as potential future medicine and alternative food source, therefore more development about the study is still required.

Plawangan Timur, located in the Segara Anakan Lagoon, Cilacap, is an estuary with many rivers flowing into it, and has a free connection with the open seas. Plawangan Timur waters suffer increased environmental pressures caused by anthropogenic activities, resulting in pollution, degradation of water bodies, and ecological changes. Ecological changes related to the physical and chemical estuary environment have been considered as major drivers of significant fluctuations in the zooplankton community structure. In order to manage and mitigate the effects of these changes, a prediction of their potential impacts on zooplankton communities is needed. This study aimed to determine the zooplankton community, which includes the abundance index, diversity index, evenness index and dominance index. The method used is a survey method with purposive random sampling at five stations. The F test and the Lackey Drop Microtransect Counting method were used to determine the abundance of zooplankton. The results showed that the abundance of zooplankton ranged from 113-598 ind/L (low); zooplankton diversity index ranged from 1.83-2.03 (medium); zooplankton evenness index ranged from 0.79-0.85 (high) and zooplankton dominance index ranged from 0.166-0.211 (low). Based on PP RI Number 22/2021, the physico-chemical factors of the Plawangan Timur waters are still at the safe concentration for zooplankton, except for the brightness, turbidity, Total Suspended Solid (TSS) and salinity.

Cireundeu Traditional Village (Kampung Adat Cireundeu) is a unique village located in Cimahi City, West Java. This village is the house to the traditional community that make use of local or traditional knowledge to maintain their natural resources. They are well known to consume cassava rice (“rasi”, abv. beras singkong) as staple food. They also have strict traditional rules regarding spatial management in land usage. This paper aims to explain the ethnoagriculural aspects of Cireundeu’s traditional community, to determine the strengths and weaknesses of their practices, and to suggest further action to their common problems. The methods used are literature reviews from various scientific sources. From the reviews, Cireundeu’s traditional community ethnoagriculture aspects are shown by the integration of traditional rules to determine land use and producing agricultural crop and implement sustainable agriculture. While their tradition helps them self-fulfill their daily lives, this community also faced several threats from the outside, such as housing development and long term effect from Leuwigajah Final Land Disposal. These results suggest the needs for further studies on these long term effects and outside influence to help Cireundeus’s community preserving their heritages.

Simian Immunodeficiency Viruses (SIV) have been found to naturally infect African nonhuman primates (NHP). This causative agents are important and one of the special interest as the root cause of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, one of the most threatening infectious diseases worldwide. The aim of this study was to design an epitope-based vaccine using bioinformatics approaches of the circulating SIV in Kenya, Africa. In this study, we used 17 partial SIV envelope glycoprotein genes retrieved from GenBank® (National Center for Biotechnology Information, USA). We analysed the candidate epitopes using the Immune Epitope Database and Analysis Resource. Then, we performed the protective antigens prediction usingVaxiJen. Interestingly, this study revealed the data of B cell epitope prediction, protective antigens prediction, and molecular phylogenetic of circulating SIV in Kenya, Africa. In sum, this study can be used to design a novel epitope-based vaccine against SIV. We suggest further studies to conduct confirmatory experiments (in vitro and in vivo).

The commonly used human blood group system is the ABO system. Determination of blood group is important in blood transfusion activities. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of the ABO blood group system and the frequency of the ABO blood group allele in students of the Biology and Science Education study program at UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya. Determination of blood group was carried out by the Slide Test method which was carried out randomly with a sample of 90 people. Determination of blood group is done by the principle of agglutination that occurs between antigens and antibodies. The results showed the frequency of blood group ABO system: A (20%); B (24%); AB (10%); O (46%). IA allele frequency (0.13); IB (0.07); IO (0.8). The proportion of the highest frequency of blood type is blood type O. These results indicate that the distribution of blood type O among students at UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya is relatively the same as the results of other studies conducted in Indonesia.

Porang (Amorphophallus muelleri B.) is one of the well-known root crops in Indonesia because it has a lot of benefits and potential. One of the places that have a lot of Porang plantations is Bocok Hamlet, Pondokagung Village, Kasembon Sub-District, Malang Regency. Many people in this hamlet have Porang plantations, but the utilization of this plant is still not as optimal as other communities. Utilization of the potential of porang is still classified as less than optimal. Researchers conducted this research using 4 methods, namely initial surveys, determining research locations, observing morphological characters, and interviewing respondents. Based on the interviews conducted, the researchers found that porang has various potentials in several fields, such as in food, porang is made into several types of food ingredients such as flour. Besides that, many porang were exported to various countries such as Japan, England, and other countries. In addition, this plant also has abundant vitamin content for added nutrition and smooth metabolism.

Borneo Island is one of the greenest islands in the world has thousands of endemic plants. Unfortunately, many of these plants are in endangered status. One of the endemic endangered plants from Borneo is Shorea brunnescens or locally named Selangan Batu Tinteng. Based on research, the bark of Shorea brunnescens contains the compound e-viniferin, which is recorded in the literature as an anti-cancer compound, especially breast cancer. The anti-cancer potential of Shorea brunnescens could be a driving force for conservation and protection of the plant, which has never been done before. Therefore, further research is needed regarding the effectiveness and capacity of Shorea brunnescens as an anti-cancer medicinal material. This study aims to examine the potential success rate of the anti-cancer properties of Shorea brunnescens through molecular docking of the compound e-viniferin against the proteotype of the main enzyme of breast cancer cells, Cytochrome P450. The method used was in silico modeling using PyRx and Discovery Studio software. First, screening of analog compounds through PubChem database (http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) based on Lipinski's rule, and obtained the three best analogs which will then be used as comparison ligands for docking simulation with Cytochrome P450 (CYP) receptors. The results obtained were that e-viniferin in Shorea brunnescens as the test ligand had the smallest affinity compared to the comparison ligand, which was -9.2 kcal/mol. It was concluded that Shorea brunnescens is able to inhibit cancer cells very well, so it has the potential to be developed as an anti-cancer drug candidate.
