Abstract

Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park is a strategic conservation area. The existence of herpetofauna, which includes reptiles and amphibians, is an integral part of the ecosystem of this national park. Research on herpetofauna in TNBBS is relevant considering the potential threats to biodiversity due to climate change, habitat destruction, and human activities that affect the habitat conditions of these fauna groups. Based on this, this research is intended to explore the diversity of herpetofauna as an environmental bioindicator based on microhabitat characteristics at two altitude levels, namely highlands (Resort Sukaraja Atas) and lowlands (Way Canguk Research Station), Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (TNBBS). This study was conducted in July 2023 in two locations, namely Sukaraja Atas Resort representing the highlands and Way Canguk Research Station representing the lowlands. Sampling used line transect and VES (Virtual Encounter Survey) methods. The results showed that both locations, Way Canguk Research Station and Upper Sukaraja Resort, had moderate amphibian and reptile species diversity (2.7). Although diversity and evenness indices showed similarities between the two sites, Upper Sukaraja Resort stood out with a higher species richness value (5.7) compared to Way Canguk Research Station (4.9).

Abstract

Selaginella doederleineii is a fern plant that is efficacious for treating coughs, pneumonia and broken bones. Leaves are the primary medicinal parts. However, there has been no research regarding the toxicity of Selaginella doederleineii leaves. This study aims to evaluate potential toxicity of 96% ethanol extract of Selaginella doederleineii leaves against shrimp larvae (Artemia salina Leach) using the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method. The toxicity value is shown by the LC50 value. This research method includes the extraction stage, larvae hatching stage, stock solutions and concentration dilutions of the extract preparation, toxicity test and LC50 value calculation. The toxicity test using 10 Artemia salina shrimp larvae were exposed to each test concentration (0 ppm, 1 ppm, 2 ppm, 3 ppm, 4 ppm, 5 ppm) in triplicate. Larval mortality was assessed after 24 hours to calculate mortality percentage and LC50. The results showed that the LC50 value for the 96% ethanol extract of Selaginella doederleineii was 12.0221 ppm, indicating very toxic. It can be concluded that Selaginella doederleineii leaves exhibits significat toxicity to brine shrimp and potential to be developed as a raw material for anti-cancer drugs.

Abstract

Hypertension is a medical condition that often requires long-term management to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Herbal therapy has become an intriguing focus of research in seeking effective and sustainable alternatives in lowering blood pressure. This literature review presents an analysis of seven scientific journals focusing on herbal therapy for hypertension. The study employs a Literature Review method by gathering articles from relevant journals. The review findings indicate that various herbal therapies, ranging from garlic combination herbal medicine, rosella flower decoction, green tea consumption, education on the use of gotu kola and turmeric leaves, to cucumber juice therapy, bay leaf, and papaya juice, have the potential to lower blood pressure in hypertensive patients. The mechanisms of action of these herbs vary, including vasodilator, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Based on the review of the seven published journals, it can be concluded that non-pharmacological therapy plays a significant role in hypertension treatment. These journals highlight the importance of considering comprehensive and individualized treatment options when managing hypertensive patients. Although the research methods vary, the results consistently indicate significant benefits of non-pharmacological treatment. However, further research is needed to validate these findings and expand our understanding of the efficacy and mechanisms of non-pharmacological treatments.

Abstract

The development of the times in the generation Z era, uses information technology so much that it cannot be separated from today’s daily life. This requires us to increasingly utilize this technology to provide positive impacts rather than negative effects. One use that can be used in the field of biology is to provide digital innovation to help people understand how to learn about oyster mushroom cultivation by the community. Fungi are a group of multicellular eukaryotic fungi with body parts consisting of a base. The group of fungi that have a basidium or are known as fruiting bodies are a group of macroscopic fungi. This group of macroscopic fungi has very high nutritional value. High protein and cellulase are one of the nutritional values contained in these fungi. Macroscopic fungi are often found in forest areas or plantations in rural areas. Edible mushrooms are a food ingredient that contains complete nutrition. Fungi can also be used as a medicinal ingredient. Ling-zhi fungus (Ganoderma sp.) is an ingredient in anticancer drugs, increasing fitness, lowering blood sugar, lowering cholesterol, destroying carcinogens, and antibacterial. Shiitake (Lentinus edodes), maitake (Grifola frondosa) and oyster (Pleurotus sp.) mushrooms have been used as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-cholesterol, anti-cancer, antiviral and immunomodulator (Wasser, 2002). The benefits and knowledge regarding the potential of large mushrooms have not been well explored. One of the efforts that will be made in community service in Rajadesa village is to provide knowledge to the surrounding community to utilize the potential of natural resources around the village in order to cultivate large mushrooms, namely Pleurotus sp. The potential for villages with cold temperatures can be used as a place for mushroom cultivation coupled with the optimization of simple information technology to assist in the extension process. The results of the technological innovation used in the service will be carried out for two days with the education stage on how important it is to have the ability to cultivate mushrooms. The next stage is counseling regarding techniques for cultivating large mushrooms by utilizing the natural potential that exists in the countryside. As a result of the service, it is hoped that the community will have knowledge about the health benefits of mushrooms, the types of mushrooms that can be cultivated and education regarding mushroom cultivation techniques.
