Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease after severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in developed countries including Indonesia. Drug resistance becomes major issue worldwide and needs prospective therapeutics development. Plant with medicinal properties including Physalis peruviana is one the promising object to be new anti-TB drug candidate. This study aimed to analyze the inhibitory activity of anti-TB agents from aerial parts of P. peruviana. Ligand and protein samples were obtained from PubChem and RCSB PDB, respectively. The bioactive compounds were evaluated their antibacterial prediction and drug-likeness properties throughout PASS Online and SwissADME webservers. Selected ligands then docked via PyRX and measured the output by binding affinity. Visualization of the best outputs was carried out using BIOVIA Discovery Studio. The result showed that phytofluene had the lowest binding affinity topping the isoniazid as control with -7.2 and -5.1 kcal/mol after targeting enoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] reductase (InhA) protein of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This concluded that phytofluene functioned as predictive anti-TB therapeutic candidate. Further in vitro and in vivo studies are needed to validate this outcome.

The diversity and habitat preferences of orchids in the natural tourist attraction area of R. Soerjo Forest Park (TAHURA) are not yet completely known. Lack of information and the activities of tourist visitors increase the risk of natural orchid habitat degradation. The aim of this research is to determine the diversity and habitat preferences of orchids in R. Soerjo Forest Park. The research design used a line transect method for orchid diversity data and a purposive sampling method with a plot measuring 10 × 10m for habitat preference analysis or environmental data. The research results show that there are 37 species of orchids in the natural tourist attraction area of R. Soerjo Forest Park, which is divided into 25 epiphytic orchids and 12 terrestrial orchids. The results of the Shannon-Wienner analysis show that the orchid diversity index value is 2.46, which is show a medium level of diversity. Dominant orchids grow at an altitude of 1,400–1,600 m.a.s.l. The most dominant orchid species are Nervilia punctata (558), Appendicula angustifolia (296), and A. elegans (130), with an evenness value of 0,32, 0,17, and 0,07. The dominance of N. punctata is influenced by the root shape, which is modified as a tuberous type. The results of redundancy analysis (RDA) show that the environmental variables that most influence the distribution of orchids are air temperature, soil pH levels, light intensity, and elevation.

Perintis Lake is a lake area with potential for ecotourism. However, as activities progress, some areas have become littered with garbage. Therefore, the purpose of this study focuses on identifying the types of waste and determining the most common types of waste in the Perintis Lake area. This study uses a quantitative descriptive research method by identifying the types of waste scattered in the lake area using a sampling method categorized based on the size characteristics of mega-debris (>1 m), macro-debris (2.5 cm–1 m), meso-debris (5 mm–2.5 cm), and micro-debris (0.33 mm–5 mm). Based on the research activities, the sample collections locations are in two different transect areas, namely the Perintis Lake tourist area and the lake area directly facing residential areas. The total identification results obtained from both transects consist of 266 types of waste in five different categories: plastic waste, rubber, metal, glass, wood, and derivatives. Among the findings, plastic waste is the most dominant type of waste in the lake area, totalling 218 types. Furthermore, in terms of waste characterization based on size, macro-debris is the most abundant category in the lake area, particularly plastic waste, with a total of 168. The abundance of plastic waste in the research location is influenced by indiscriminate disposal by visitors to the environment and also by household activities directly facing the Perintis Lake area, resulting in an increasing spread of waste distribution over time.

Traditional ceremonies are a form of culture passed down from generation to generation, reflecting a society's values, beliefs, and identity. This research aims to find out and understand the meaning of the Mahesa Lawung traditional ceremony, the types of plants and animals used, and the knowledge of local communities in the Krendowahono Karanganyar Site area, Central Java. The method used in this research is a qualitative observation method, including direct interviews with each respondent. Data was collected through interviews and direct observation at the research location. The research data collected includes regional names, common names, scientific names of plants and animals species as well as parts used for offerings at Mahesa Lawung traditional ceremony, and the philosophies of the species that used in this traditional ceremony. There are 7 plants and 4 animal species used for the Mahesa Lawung traditional ceremony. The research results show that the Mahesa Lawung traditional ceremony is still carried out today, especially at the Krendowahono Site. Of the three villages used as research locations, almost all people knew about the ceremony but only heard about it and saw it briefly. The Mahesa Lawung traditional ceremony is a cultural history that needs to be preserved and maintained over time.

The study in this research includes examination of parasites in ornamental seawater fish pathologically and clinically which includes examination of mucus, fins, intestines, and gills. This research was conducted at BKIPM Denpasar from January 06, 2020 to February 7, 2020. The samples of marine ornamental fish examined consisted of ornamental fish from various species including Chrysiptera sp., Pterapogon sp., Chromis sp., Amphirion sp., Dascyllus sp. The results showed that the types of parasites that attacked marine ornamental fish were Tricodina sp., Opegaster sp., Archigetes sp., and Camallanus sp. These four types of parasites came from 6 samples from a total of 40 samples examined at BKIPM Denpasar. The total prevalence of infecting parasites was 0.15%. Meanwhile, the prevalence of each species is 0.16% for Tricodina sp. and Opegaster sp. while for Archigetes sp. and Camallanus sp. is 0.33%. Based on the results of the prevalence calculation, the examined seawater ornamental fish samples are still classified as safe for export.

The cultivation of vannamei shrimp faces persistent challenges, particularly due to various disease outbreaks. One emerging and common disease is Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP). This disease is caused by the microsporidian parasite, which hinders shrimp growth by infecting the hepatopancreas. This study aims to evaluate the application of the wet mount method as an early prevention strategy for EHP infection in whiteleg shrimp. The research employs a laboratory-based experimental approach using the wet mount method to detect spores/microsporidia in the shrimp hepatopancreas, observed under a microscope at 1.000x magnification. Results from this method revealed a 50% prevalence of spores/microsporidia in shrimp hepatopancreas samples from VIP pond section A1 and 90% prevalence in very very important person (VVIP) pond section A2. Thus, the wet mount method is a viable technique for identifying spores/microsporidia in the hepatopancreas of Litopenaeus vannamei, offering an effective early detection approach for EHP infection.

One of the processing methods for whiskered goatfish (Parupeneus heptacanthus) is converting it into frozen fillet products. The raw material management for the production of whiskered goatfish fillet includes receiving the raw materials, washing, filleting, trimming, deboning, and sizing. The aim of this article is to explore the raw material management process in the production of whiskered goatfish fillet at PT Bahari Biru Nusantara. A descriptive method was employed, utilizing both primary and secondary data sources. Data collection was conducted through observation, interviews, active participation, and literature review. Inventory planning and raw material receiving scheduling at PT Bahari Biru Nusantara are crucial to address demand fluctuations and maintain smooth production. Consideration of environmental factors such as seasonality, weather, climate, and resource sustainability also plays a role in inventory management strategies.
