Abstract

In primigravidas, the first stage of labor has a longer duration than multiparous. The first stage of labor in primiparous is around 13-14 hours, while in multiparous it is about 7 hours. Prolonged labor is one of the causes of maternal death. Yoga in pregnancy can maintain elasticity and strength of the ligaments of the pelvis, hips, and leg muscles, so that it can reduce pain during labor and provide space for the birth canal.  The comparative analytical research method used pre-experimental design with the one shot case study design. With a sample of 26 trimesters III primigravida pregnant women who were divided into 2 groups, namely n = 13 groups who did prenatal yoga, and n = 13 groups who did not do prenatal yoga. The analysis of this research was univariate and bivariate using the Mann Whitney test. Assessment is carried out during the delivery process. As a result, the intervention and control groups with active phase I labor duration obtained p = 0.000, and perineal rupture p = 0.000. There was a significant difference in the length of the first stage of labor and perineal rupture between the yoga group and the non-yoga group. Prenatal yoga affects the duration of the first stage of labor and perineal rupture.

Abstract

Anthracnose disease is a major disease in cayenne pepper triggered by fungal pathogen Colletotrichum capsici which can cause yield losses of up to 90%. Control of disease generally utilizes synthetic fungicides, but it damages the environment and human health. Hence, alternative controls that are ecofriendly are required. One of the attempts is to make use of chitinolytic bacteria's potential. This study aimed to screen UB Forest chitinolytic bacteria and to determine their potential in suppressing anthracnose in cayenne pepper. Stages of research include a screening of 78 UB Forest bacteria as chitinolytic bacteria, selection of chitinolytic bacteria that are antagonistic against C. capsici, inhibition test of chitinase crude extracts against C. capsici growth, controlling anthracnose disease in cayenne using chitinolytic bacteria, and molecular identification. Based on the results of the selection, there were 76 isolates of UB Forest bacteria classified as chitinolytic bacteria, 74 bacteria antagonistic against C. capsici. Chitinase crude extracts significantly affected C. capsici growth inhibition compared to fungicide treatment. The application of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (UB 11) and Bacillus cereus (UB 12) can control anthracnose disease in cayenne pepper with the intensity of 41.67% and 38.89% respectively with the efficacy level of 58.33% and 61.11%.

Abstract

Red glutinous rice is native from Pacitan and is still limited to local region consumption. The color of the rice flour showed that it has bioactive content, which is the potential to wider the use. The effect of pregelatinization using heat and moisture treatment by boiling on physicochemical (starch, amylose, anthocyanin, gel consistency, Lab color, SEM figure) and pasting properties of red glutinous rice flour was determined. The time and temperature of pregelatinization were 5, 10, and 15 minutes and 50°C, 60°C, and 60°C. The experiment was done with a completely randomized design with three replications. Starch content range to 62-77%, amylose content 3.29-5.75%, anthocyanin 2.64-6.71 mg/100g, Moisture 6.16-7.45, L 72.5-73.95, redness 5.11-6.00, yellowness 8.87-9.62, and gel consistency 9.7-12 cm. the increase of time and temperature of pregelatinization lead to decrease of amylose, starch, and anthocyanin content, and viscosity. After pregelatinization, the setback viscosity was lower it means that the rate of retrogradation is lower than native starch. SEM figure also showed that pregelatinization using heat and moisture treatment did not destroy the starch granules.
