Nickel mining activities have been identified as a factor in insect biodiversity degradation. This study aimed to evaluate insect community parameters, including species, diversity, abundance, and evenness, by comparing post-mining and natural land in Amonggedo District, Konawe Regency. Sampling was conducted using sweep net, pitfall trap, and light trap methods. The findings showed a significant decrease in species richness in the post-mining land (4 orders, 6 families, 11 individuals) compared to the control land (6 orders, 11 families, 104 individuals). Although both locations had a moderate diversity index (H’) (1.55 vs. 1.72), the post-mining land recorded a higher evenness index (E) (0.86), indicating a more balanced distribution between families but with a much lower population. Dominance shifted from Ectobiidae in the natural land to Crambidae and Scoliidae in the post-mining area, confirming a transformation in community structure due to the impact of nickel mining.

This study aims to analyze the body weight characteristics of Kacang goats based on sex and to determine the level of body weight variation in Kacang goats in Soropia Subdistrict, Konawe Regency. The study was conducted from September to October 2025 using a quantitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method. The study sample consisted of 74 male and female Kacang goats ranging in age from 6 months to over 24 months. Data collection was performed through direct body weight measurements using a digital scale with a precision of 0.1 kg. Data analysis was performed descriptively to obtain the mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation, while differences in body weight between male and female goats were analyzed using a t-test with the assistance of SPSS version 20. The results of the study showed that the average body weight of male Kacang goats was 16.41 ± 1.31 kg with a coefficient of variation of 7.97%, while female Kacang goats had an average body weight of 15.89 ± 1.19 kg with a coefficient of variation of 7.46%. Statistical test results indicate a significant difference (P<0.05) between the body weights of male and female Kacang goats. Male goats tend to have higher body weights compared to female goats due to physiological and hormonal factors, particularly testosterone, which supports muscle and body growth. The low coefficient of variation indicates that the Kacang goat population exhibits a fairly high level of growth uniformity. This study concludes that sex has a significant effect on the body weight of Kacang goats in Soropia Subdistrict and that the livestock population exhibits relatively homogeneous growth characteristics.

This study aimed to determine the effect of corn flour (Zea mays L.) substitution on the moisture content and organoleptic characteristics of cookies, including color, aroma, texture, and taste. The study employed an experimental method with a quantitative approach using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of four treatments: A0 (0%), A01 (15%), A02 (25%), and A03 (35%), each with three replicates, resulting in 12 experimental units. The cookie production process involved substituting corn flour for wheat flour; moisture content was then analyzed using the oven method, and organoleptic testing was conducted with 15 panelists using a 1–5 hedonic scale. The results indicated that corn flour substitution influenced the moisture content and organoleptic characteristics of the cookies. The highest moisture content was obtained in treatment A0 at 4.56%, while the lowest moisture content was found in treatment A01 at 2.46%. The organoleptic test results showed that treatment A02 received the highest score for color at 3.80, while the highest scores for aroma, texture, and taste were obtained in treatment A0 at 4.00, 3.93, and 4.00, respectively. In general, increasing corn flour substitution caused the color to change to a more yellowish-brown and made the cookies more brittle due to the absence of gluten in corn flour. Based on all test parameters, treatment A02 with 25% corn flour substitution showed the most balanced results and was still acceptable to the panelists. This study indicates that corn flour has the potential to be used as a wheat flour substitute in the development of cookies based on local food ingredients.
