Abstract

Roof garden is an alternative to overcome food security through breeding crops and horticultures of fruits and vegetables. The research was conducted in Malang by applying two planting systems, such as shallow bed (direct cropping) and plant container bag by the same planting medium treatments. Research, which applied shallow bed and container bag, was conducted using Randomized Block Design (RBD) by 6 treatments of planting medium and 4 replications, such as : Soil (100%) (M0), Soil + Charcoal (1:1) (M1), Soil + Cocopeat (1:1) (M2), Soil + Compost (1:1) (M3), Soil + Manure (1:1) (M4), and Soil + Moss (1:1) (M5). Data analysis of the research used analysis of variance, and if any significant influence was found, it would be followed by the Least Significant Difference (LSD) at level 5%. And then, it would be followed by T-test as comparison between shallow bed system and container bag system. Parameters that being observed in the research included length of crop, leaf area, numbers of tuber, fresh weight of tuber, dry weight of tuber, and total dry weight of plants. Results of the research showed that the application of medium types of soil and manure (1:1) by shallow bed system on Roof Garden concept may increase numbers of tuber, fresh weight of tuber, dry weight of tuber, and dry weight of Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) in comparison with the application of soil medium and manure (1:1) by plant container bag system.

Abstract

A total of 106 late gestation goats (age 4-5 months of pregnancy) records each of Etawah Crosbred goats kept on small farmer over a period of 10 years were assessed to determine the effects of environmental factors on them. Body Condition Score is non-genetic factor and in dairy goats to predicted milk production, fertility, and general health of the animal because BCS is visualisasi from feeding manajement. The objective of this study was to investigated the relationship between Body Condition Score (BCS) of late gestation with litter size and birth weight on etawah crossbred goats. The results showed that the average of litter size and birth weight (kg) were 1.89±0.66 and 3.84±0.73 respectively. The relationship between BCS with litter size were 0.13 (very low) and the relationship between BCS with birth weight were 0.11 (very low). The conclusion of this research is BCS of late gestation had positive correlation on litter size and birth weight, however this was low and birth weight as first indicator of future growth rate.

Abstract

The decisive morphological character of Calamaria linnaei from the Ijen plateau was analyzed in an attempt to evaluate these snakes independently achieved as different populations or whether more likely only cryptic species affected by natural conditions. The evidence was concluded that a cryptic species is very interesting to be regarded as something entirely different. In general, however, the population appears to have more closely related to other congeners populations of the same species. It is suggested that at least temporarily, the C. linnaei population of the Ijen plateau be specifically considered to include in species with high individual variations based on limited geographic boundaries until molecular analysis proves it.

Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease associated with articular and systemic effects. This disease affects synovial joints covered by a special tissue called synovium. Curcumin has a potent antioxidant, antiinflammatory agent, antiangiogenic and anticarcinogenic. Curcumin can downregulate the expression of various proinflammatory cytokines and is reported beneficial effects in arthritis, but has a poor solubility dan bioavailability as well. The purpose of this research was to study the potential of liposomes topikal curcumin in reducing athritis score, reducing the expression of TNF-α and histopathological synovium hyperplasia of hind paw on Wistar rats with CFA that had been treated with topical curcumin. In this study, rats were divided into 7 groups: positive control, negative control, rheumatoid arthritis with topical curcumin therapy of 90 mg/kg BW, rheumatoid arthritis with topical curcumin therapy of 110 mg/kg BW, rheumatoid arthritis with topical curcumin therapy of 200 mg/kg BW, rheumatoid arthritis with methotrexate therapy, rheumatoid arthritis with placebo therapy. Results from this experiment indicated that topical curcumin has no significant to the arthritis score, significantly effect to percentase expression of TNF-α (p<0.05) and could decrease synovium hyperplasia based on histophatology examination. It could be concluded that therapy of topical curcumin could decrease the expression of TNF- α and synovium hyperplasia in rheumatoid arthritis rat.

Abstract

Balinese Sardinella (Sardinella lemuru) is the main commodity in Indonesia. Despite, more research show that lemuru got the overfishing condition. In East Java region, likely Bali Strait, Southern-East Java water, and Madura Strait are the region which the most production of lemuru catch. So it needs identification stock of Sardinella lemuru on the third fisheries management east java sub-region, as it to be used as a reference to managing the sustainability of the catch sardinella lemuru for the future. Research carried out in January to May 2016 with the methods is the sample of random sampling on three different locations water representing Madura Strait, Bali Strait, and southern-East Java water. The each sample implemented were in four times during a period of months old different. Every the sample researchers get as 50-200 tail. Sardinella lemuru in accordance with the season fish. The sample which has been obtained taken to the laboratory of Marine Science University of Brawijaya to data take. The analysis used in this research was Truss morphometric and Factor analysis of the condition allometric. Based on the results of the analysis in the Madura Strait, Bali Strait, and Southern-East Java water are having a distinction of morphometric character amount 44 % with the character being very affected is PAL_FL, DFB_HL , PVL_FL, UPCL_FL, OD_HL, and PPL_FL. Around 64 % of the whole morphometric character that is 14 characters. Next, if it is seen from Allometric condition in the third these waters having b value different from each aquatic and after B-test that lemuru in the three the waters might otherwise dissimilar stock so management of Sardinella lemuru in the three waters should have been undertaken in separated.

Abstract

Sardinella fish (Sardinella lemuru) is a species of important pelagic fish from the family of Clupeidae found in Bali Strait. The dynamic condition of Bali Strait makes it fertile which is identical with plankton blooming. The objective of this research was to understand the potential of saxitoxin in sardinella fish because of dinoflagellates consumption in Bali Strait. The research was conducted in Southeast Monsoon (June - August 2015) and Northwest Monsoon (December 2015 – February 2016). The method used was in situ plankton sampling, counting and ELISA test to determine the level of saxitoxin in the fish. Hydro-oceanographic parameters measured were temperatures, salinity, DO (dissolved oxygen), pH level, phosphate level, nitrate level and transparency. They showed average optimum value for phytoplankton growth especially during Southeast Monsoon which its temperature lower and the nutrients (phosphate nitrate) higher than the Northwest Monsoon. This condition caused high richness of phytoplankton in the water and followed with dinoflagellates richness so they accumulated in sardinella fish. It was supported by the analysis of the fish gastric which showed positive correlation between dinoflagellates richness in the water and the fish gastric. ELISA test also showed that saxitoxin level of fish caught in Southeast Monsoon was higher than the one caught in Northwest Monsoon even though the level of saxitoxin was still in the safe range (less than 80 μg STXeq. per 100 g) but the danger of saxitoxin accumulation should be watched out for.

Abstract

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (LES) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease characterized by the formation of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) and anti-double stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) antibodies as diagnostic markers. Detection of such autoantibodies requires advanced equipment and trained personnel.This study was conducted to acquire candidate antigens that can be used for rapid test kit for practical and accurate detection of ANA and anti-dsDNA to speed up SLE diagnosis.Nuclear proteins and DNA derived from cell lines, hair follicles, and leukocytes of SLE patients and healthy individuals were isolated using QiaGEN kit and modified-manual procedure. Antigen-antibody bonds were tested by dot blot assay.The strongest binding between DNA antigens of a healthy individual and antibodies occurred at dilution factors of 1:5,120 for the antigen and 1:2,560 for the antibody. The strongest binding between nuclear protein antigens from the cell line and antibodies occurred at dilution factors of 1:512 for the antigen and 1:1,600 for the antibody.Nuclear antigens derived from cell line and DNA antigens of healthy individuals were antigen candidates for the development of ANA and anti-dsDNA rapid detection tests.

Abstract

Chromosome analysis or karyotyping is one among powerful methods to characterize normal or abnormal genetic of animals. On the basis of the important chromosome abnormalities and their negative effect in the near future, chromosomal investigation of breeding bull especially for Artificial Insemination (AI) began in different countries. Chromosomal abnormalities are usually considered to be a plague and are to eliminate. In Indonesia, AI implementation in cattle have been started intensively, especially using imported bulls (bos Taurus) i.e. Limousine. A number of cattle breeds have been reported on of the 50 exotic breeds with the problem of 1/29 translocation, then the chromosome analysis to be important to execute. Method performed by collecting blood samples from first generation of crossing breed Madura Cattle vs. Bos Taurus. Sample was added to medium (Karyo MAX Gibco) then placed in CO2 incubator at 38°C. Colcichine was added after 70 hours and kept for 2–3 hours. Slides were prepared and dried then stained with Giemsa. Slides were examined under high phase-contrast microscope, chromosome analysis using cytovision software and manual analysis straightly captured under microscope then arranged. Result of both method of karyotyping may accepted for analysing method of abnormal/normal chromosome. It showed that the 2 N diploid number of chromosome was normal was 60, there were 58 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes in all cattle observed. It was observed that all cattle tested in this research were normal categories.  The karyotype analysis of all cattle showed that the chromosomes of one cell and different individual each breed varied in size, shape and position of centromere. It was recommended to performed chromosomal investigation of breeding bulls using advanced sophisticated tools of analysis like cytovision image analysis of fluorescent technique. Manual method was recommended only for analysis of normal or abnormal number of chromosome.
