Abstract

The development of restaurant businesses in Sidoarjo City is quite rapid, and this will of course be accompanied by an increase in domestic waste originating from a restaurant called greywater. Restaurant wastewater contains a lot of organic content and often without prior treatment is discharged directly into receiving water bodies. The purpose of this study was to determine the reduction in BOD and COD levels for the processing of restaurant wastewater using a contructed wetland with Cyperus Rotundus as the remediator. The research stage will be carried out using a laboratory scale using acclimatization as the adaptation stage of the Cyperus Rotundus plant and the crontructed wetland reactor as phytoremediation processing. Based on the results and discussion, it can be concluded that there was a decrease in BOD and COD levels in restaurant liquid waste using the Constructed Wetland System and Cyperus Rotundus plants. The percentage reduction in the largest BOD content in clay media with the number of Cyperus Rotundus plants of 3 stems gave the highest BOD removal efficiency, namely 70% at 4 days of detention time. While the largest percentage reduction in COD levels in clay media with the number of Cyperus Rotundus plants as many as 3 stems gave the highest COD removal efficiency, namely 67% at 4 days detention time.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the structure and composition of natural regenerated mangrove, also  to analyze these soil C and N content. This study was conducted in natural regenerated mangrove at in-active pond in Muna Regency, Southeast Sulawesi on June-August 2021. The data collection of mangrove vegetation by quadratic transect method, prependicuar to the river, with 6 subplots sized 100m2. Species identification according to  Panduan Pengenalan Mangrove Indonesia, by Noor YR et al. 2006. Meanwhile, the methods for sediment collection was done by purposive sampling to determine corring site. The sediment was collected by Peat Auger Set for 50 cm of depth. The sediment sample then separated based on depth i.e. 0-10 cm, 10-20 cm, 20-30 cm, 30-40 cm, and 40-50 cm. The samples were dried with temperature 65oC during 10 days. The C and N content were analyzed by Spectrofotometer. Moreover, water content as well as bulk density was determined.  The statistical analysis of One Way-Anova was done to determine the differences of bulk density, water, C, and N content on each soil layer.The result showed that the structure and composition of mangrove which found in this location was weaning mangrove (DBH < 10cm). The class of DBH size was dominated by 3,00cm - 3,99 cm (81 ind), 2,00cm – 2,99cm (62 ind), 4,00cm – 4,99cm (52 ind), 5,00cm – 5,99cm (42 ind), 7,00cm – 7,99cm (32 ind), and 6,00cm – 6,99cm (26 ind) respectively. The class of DBH size of 8,00 and 9,00 were found in small amount. The total density of vegetation was categoryzed into high density category, based on Kepmen LH No 201, year 2004 (5183,33 ind/ha). The vegetation formed into the early growing stage. The result of water content, and bulk density showed various results. The highest water content was on the surface layer of soil (0-10 cm) was 35,39±8,61%.Meanwhile, the highest bulk density was on the 20-30 cm of soil layer, was 1,49±0,29 g/cm3. The result of C and N content showed various results on each soil layer. The highest of C content was on the surface layer (0-10 cm), was 2,13±0,76%, and the lowest was on 30-40 cm of soil layer, was 1,72±0,13%. In the other hand, the highest N content was on 40-50 of soil layer, was 0,82±0,29%, and the lowest was on 30-40 cm of soil layer, was 0,57±0,14%. Although there were difference of water content, bulk density, C, and N content on each soil layer, but these differences was not significant statistically (α > 0,05). Commonly, the A. lanata species was dominated in this in-active pond area. It was caused by  the environmental condition was enclosed because of soil bund wall of pond, so it is confined to another species to regenerate naturally in this area.  Furthermore, the structure of A. lanata seeds which have small size facilitates its spread by the current, thus providing a opportunity for seeds spreaded, growth and regenerated naturallyKey word: A. lanata, natural regeneration, C sedimen, N content

Abstract

Molecular diagnosis is a method of diagnosis that aims to understand the molecular mechanism of a disease in each individual patient (personalized medicine / dentistry) as well as the identification process in the forensic field. This method will be very beneficial in this modern world of health. One of the molecular identification techniques that can be used as a means is the DNA amplification technique using the PCR method. This technique is able to multiply the DNA strand of the sample so that it can be analyzed more clearly. Where in the process good DNA quality can be obtained from good samples too. This is a basic requirement that must be met in molecular studies, especially in DNA fingerprinting, whereas in field practice unexpected things often occur either in the sample collection process or the availability of chemicals which result in a delay in a DNA extraction process. While the long storage time can cause damage to blood cells including DNA due to natural degradation or by microorganisms (fungi and bacteria). Comparative study and the effect of storage of serum samples on DNA quality: Observation for 1 year was a descriptive analytic study to see whether there was an effect of storage at -40C on DNA quality. This study used an analytic observational method with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample was blood serum. Genetic analysis is performed by isolating DNA from serum using routine procedures. Based on the research results, it was found that the Sig. DNA levels in 2019 and 2020 were 0.018 and the Sig. DNA purity in 2019 and 2020 was 0.00. This shows the effect of 1 year storage time on the quality of DNA from blood serum samples.
