Abstract

Sargassum policystum is one of the genus Sargassum from the brown macroalgae group which has an abundance of chemical constituents of fucoidan, fucoxanthin, phenolic acids and alginate which have important biological activities, such as antioxidants and antibacterials. This species thrives in the waters of Kabung Island, Bengkayang, West Kalimantan and has not been exploited so that it tends to act as a marine weed. This study aimed to determine the total phenolic content of the ethanolic extract of S. policystum and its antioxidant and antibacterial activity. Determination of the total content of phenolic compounds using the Folin Ciocalteu method, antioxidant testing using the DPPH method (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and the indicator of sample color change with the addition of these radicals was measured by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Antibacterial testing was carried out by the test sample diffusion method and the inhibition of the growth of the test bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli as test bacteria was indicated by the formation of a clear area around the sample wells. The results showed that the phenol content of the ethanolic extract of S. policystum was 79.8 mg/g extract, its antioxidant activity (IC50) was 98.903 ppm, classified as a strong antioxidant, while the comparison antioxidant, Vitamin C, had an IC50 of 6.26 ppm. The inhibitory ability of the ethanol extract against the test bacteria used was indicated by the formation of the largest inhibition diameter on S. aureus of 12.4 mm and E. coli of 12.0 mm.

Abstract

Neurotrophin Factor 3 (NTF3) is one of the genes that plays an important role in the regulation of the neural systems of vertebrate animals, this gene has a special function in explaining the survival factors of some vertebrate animals. Based on the information obtained from GenBank, the nucleotide sequence of the NTF-3 gene in several vertebrate animals has been known and some of the data obtained have not been studied further for research purposes in adding information related to the molecular character of the NTF-3 gene, such as the NTF-3 gene in Columbidae. Columbidae is a group of birds that have quite diverse species variations, the number of species in columbidae will be very helpful in obtaining data on comparisons of the genetic character of the NTF3 gene. The purpose of this study was to analyze and describe the information on the NTF-3 gene (Neurotrophic Factor 3) in Columbidae through the in silico approach with computational methods. The NTF3 gene nucleotide sequences in Columbidae showed a fairly high level of similarity to the base sequences. This illustrates the fairly close proximity between each species. Geotrygon Montana is a species of Columbidae which has variations of the Base sequence which is quite different from other species. Evaluation of the model structure shows good stability of each target protein, all evaluation results describe a good structure, meaning that the conformation of each target sequence is in accordance with the sequence, so that the structure that is built has high accuracy with the actual model. The results of this research study can be a special description in explaining the genetic characteristics of several Columbidae species for the purposes of conservation measures or efforts to preserve Columbidae species at the molecular and population genetic levels.

Abstract

Increasing human awareness of the importance of protecting the environment and conserving natural resources requires concrete innovation as an environmentally friendly and sustainable material. Accumulated of solid waste begins to be processed and reused, one of which is as a constituent of concrete. Among the various types of solid waste, glass waste is considered as an alternative that can be used as a substitute for fine aggregate (sand), coarse aggregate (split stone) and cement. This study investigated the use of mix coloured glass waste consisting of clear, green, and brown as partial substitution of sand in concrete. Although the glass colors were mixed, the proportion of each color had been determined in this study, namely 25%, 25%, and 50%. The purpose of determining these proportions is to find out which type of color glass has the most effect on concrete mix. The target characteristic strength of 25 MPa was produced by replacing sand with 20% of mix coloured waste glass. Three combinations of concrete mixes were prepared for this study. Compression tests were conducted at 7, 14, and 28 days. Workability of fresh concrete, density, compressive strength, and failure mode were investigated in this study. Results showed that the use of waste glass was able to increase the workability of fresh concrete. K1, K 2, and K3 obtained slump values which were 4%, 6,7%, and 1,3% higher than normal concrete. Normal concrete and all combinations exhibited similar density values. Only normal concrete achieved the characteristic strength of 25,7 MPa at 28 days. Meanwhile K1, K2, and K3 achieved strengths of 22,4 MPa, 22,1 MPa, and 24,7 MPa, respectively. It was evident that as workability values increased, the compressive strengths were noticed to reduce.

Abstract

One of Indonesia's strategies to improve the quality of its economy as a developing country is to boost industrial activity. However, the existence of industry has a detrimental consequence, one of which is heavy metal copper pollution (Cu). Phytoremediation is one of the ecologically acceptable pollutant treatment methods. Phytoremediation approaches using Sagittaria lancifolia plants are thought to be capable of overcoming heavy metal Cu contamination in the environment. This research is a preliminary study into the limitations of the Sagittaria lancifolia plant's capacity to absorb heavy metal Cu. This study employed an experimental technique, which was carried out between March 26 and April 7, 2021, in the Purwodadi Botanic Garden's Greenhouse, with four concentration variations, namely 0 mg/L, 1 mg/L, 3 mg/L, and 5 mg/L. According to the result of this research, the plant Sagittaria lancifolia may remediate heavy metal Cu at a maximum concentration of 5 mg/L. This is due to the fact that at this concentration, the Sagittaria lancifolia plant presents indications of death, particularly severe chlorosis and necrosis.

Abstract

Uncaria gambier Roxb is a plant from the Rubiaceae family, belongs to the Bajakah group and has been used empirically in the treatment of various types of diseases in the community. Besides being one of the industrial plants and export commodities produced in Sumatra and Kalimantan, gambier leaves is also used frequently in Indonesia, both for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. As a result, market demand both nationally and internationally have increased. The aim of this research are determination of antioxidant activity of ethanol extract and aqueous extract of gambir claw using 1,1-diphenil-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and determination of total phenol using Calcetau folin reagent. Gambier plant samples were taken in the forest area around the Tanjungpura University campus, the claws were separated and dried at room temperature, then powdered and extracted by maceration using 70% ethanol pa and aquadest, then the extract was concentrated until it was ready to be tested for antioxidant activity and determination of total phenol. The total phenolic ethanol extract and aqueous extract of gambir claw were 224.66 mg GAE/g extract (GEA : Gallic Acid Eqivalent) and 299.08 mg GAE/g extract, respectively, while the antioxidant potential (IC50) was 39.566 μg/mL and 65.140 μg/mL, and the IC50 for comparison of Vitamin C was 7.02 μg/mL.

Abstract

Climate index insurance is an insurance that provides reimbursement for losses due to decreased harvest rates or crop failures caused by weather. The use of Historical Burn Analysis (HBA) method in determining climate index based on rainfall resulted in a concept of the agricultural insurance payment in Pasuruan Regency. The application of The Black Scholes method in determining agricultural insurance premiums is obtained when rainfall more than 17 mm the premium is Rp 221,234. If the rainfall are 13 mm ≥ RR < 17 mm, the nominal premium paid by farmers to the insurance party is Rp 147,489. Respondents in the study were farmers who owned rice fields. Instrument quality testing (questionnaire) using validity test and reliability test using the help of SPSS statistical software. It can be concluded that the questionnaire is valid and reliable. Based on the results of the questionnaire, farmers considered that the nominal agricultural insurance premiums are in accordance with farmers' income.
