Abstract

South Kalimantan possesses the potential for extensive wetland swamps that have not been fully utilized optimally for agricultural purposes. One particular commodity that demonstrates adaptability to the unique characteristics of the swamp environment is the Nagara sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.). The Nagara sweet potato plantation ecosystem is also a habitat for various types of aerial insects that play an important role in ecosystem balance, both as pests, natural enemies, and bioindicators. The objective of this study is to ascertain the diversity and status of aerial insects in Nagara sweet potato plantations on Lebak swamp land. The research was conducted from May to July of 2024 in Daha Selatan District, Hulu Sungai Selatan Regency. The research method employed was a descriptive exploratory approach, leveraging a purposive sampling technique. The collection of samples was executed through the utilization of sweep nets and yellow traps, followed by identification utilizing an insect determination key book. The results of the study indicated the presence of 12 species of aerial insects, classified into six orders and nine families, with specific details regarding their status. This included two pest species, six natural enemy species, and four bioindicator species. The Shannon diversity index (H') of 0.99 is low, the evenness index (E) of 0.895 is high, the species richness index (R) of 5.176 is high, and the dominance index (D) of 0.099 is low. The high presence of natural enemies suggests that the Nagara sweet potato plantation ecosystem is relatively stable and possesses the capacity for natural pest control. This finding can serve as a foundation for the development of a sustainable agricultural system on Lebak swamp.

Abstract

Abstract. Forest betel (Piper aduncum L.) is a herb that is easily found as a wild plant known to contain secondary metabolite compounds, namely flavonoids, tannins, steroids, phenolics and alkaloids. The purpose of this study was to determine the antimicrobial activity of ethanol extract of forest betel leaves (Piper aduncum L.) against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and Candida albicans fungi as well as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bacteriside concentration (MBC) of the extract. The method used in the activity test is the Kirby-Bauer method and in the MIC and MBC tests using the optical density (OD) measurement method using a UV / VIS spectrophotometer. The results of testing antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli bacteria have the largest average inhibition zone at a concentration of 20% (7.86 mm) which is included in the weak category. While in Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans, the 80% extract concentration has the largest average inhibition zone, 12.72 mm and 18.54 mm respectively, which is included in the moderate category. Testing the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the extract against the test microbes showed that in all three test microbes the MIC was obtained at a concentration of 10% extract. testing then continued with the minimum bacteriside concentration (MBC) there were no results because all concentrations on all test microbes showed microbial growth.

Abstract

Background: Bay leaf (Syzygium nervosum DC) is one of the plants that has antibacterial activity that can be used as an active substance in hand soap gel preparations of bay leaf ethanol extract. To formulate a hand soap gel preparation from ethanol extract of bay leaf and evaluate its antibacterial activity. This study is experimental in nature. The research includes the preparation of a concentrated extract from bay leaves and its characterization, followed by the formulation of hand soap gel from the ethanol extract of bay leaves in four different concentrations: F1: 7.5%, F2: 10%, and F3: 12.5%. Evaluation of the physical quality of the formulations includes organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH testing, viscosity testing, and stability testing. The antibacterial activity of the hand soap gel formulation is assessed using the replica method. The physical evaluation results of the hand soap gel meet the SNI standards. The average percentage decrease in the number of colonies was as follows F0 = 31.8%, F1 = 59.4%, F2 = 81.1%, F3 = 83.2% and the comparison preparation (brand B*) was 83.3%. Bay leaf ethanol extract hand soap gel is capable of inhibiting bacterial growth using the replica method.

Abstract

The practice of rubbing red onion is a form of local wisdom that is still maintained by the Malay community in Kuala Tungkal as a traditional method of treating minor ailments, especially in children. This study aims to describe the procedure of rubbing red onion, the reasons for its continuation, and the community's perception of its effectiveness. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation of 30 informants selected purposively. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns of use and the structure of local knowledge related to the practice of rubbing. The results showed that red onions are generally crushed and rubbed on the stomach, chest, back, and soles of the feet, with or without traditional oil. This practice is considered effective in reducing complaints such as flatulence, colds, mild fever, and helping children relax and sleep better. Knowledge about rubbing is passed down from generation to generation and maintained because it is easy to do, safe, and considered to provide real benefits. The conclusion of this study confirms that red onion balur serves as a relevant family self-medication strategy. Recommendations for further research include the need for topical safety studies, clinical efficacy trials, and broader documentation of local practices to support the integration of traditional medicine with modern healthcare.
