Abstract

Corn is a horticultural commodity that people love because it contains a lot of high-quality nutrition and is beneficial for human health. One of the examples is sweet corn. Sweet corn is usually planted in a plateu, and it needs some environmental manipulation to be planted in a low plain. The purpose of this research is to find out about the role of mulch and plant space setting, with the hope that organic mulch and plant space setting will produce good results for plants and that sweet corn will grow in the low plain productively both in quantity and quality. The research is held in a moorland at Pabian, Sumenep, Madura with an altitude of ±500 meters above sea level. This research is a factorial experiment that is arranged based on a split plot design (SPD) that consists of two factors. Factor 1 is the use of mulch as a subplot that consists of no mulch (control), rice straw mulch, and plastic mulch. Factor 2 is plant space on the main plot. The interaction between the two treatments above has a significant effect on the leaf’s chlorophyll and the number of cob seeds. The average treatment plant spacing is 70 x 40, and the plastic mulch gives good growth and results.

Abstract

The Barito River is one of the major aquatic ecosystems in South Kalimantan, known for its high biodiversity potential. Human activities around the river, such as settlement expansion and fishing, may affect habitat conditions and fish community structures. This study aimed to investigate the diversity of fish species in the Barito River area, specifically in Lepasan Village, Barito Kuala Regency. Sampling was conducted using a 50-meter rengge gill net under two water conditions—morning and afternoon—at a river depth of 13 meters during high tide. Sampling sites were selected purposively based on representative aquatic conditions. The results identified 14 fish species belonging to five families: Cyprinidae (7 species), Bagridae (3 species), Siluridae (2 species), Polynemidae (1 species), and Pristolepididae (1 species). The Shannon-Wiener diversity index values were H’ = 2.48 in the vegetated zone and H’ = 2.39 in the residential zone, indicating a moderate level of species diversity. This study provides an overview of fish diversity in the Barito River at Lepasan Village, serving as a reference for future aquatic resource management and conservation efforts.

Abstract

The decreasing availability of petroleum, coupled with the increasing demand for energy, drives the utilization of more sustainable alternative energy sources. One promising alternative is the briquette made from oil palm empty fruit bunch waste, the quality of which is influenced by the type of binder used. This study is an experiment with both quantitative and qualitative approaches to analyze the effect of binder variations, namely starch flour with high adhesive properties, sago flour which is elastic, and rice waste which easily binds charcoal particles. The quality of the briquettes is assessed based on burn duration, smoke odor, and texture. Data were collected through observation and questionnaires, with both quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that the best formulation was a ratio of 70 gr of empty oil palm fruit bunch charcoal to 50 gr of starch binder to 110 ml of water, which produced briquettes with optimal burning duration, no odor, and a dense texture.

Abstract

Traditional healing practices are part of cultural heritage that need to be documented as a way to appreciate ancestral heritage. One of these is the use of plants in treating convulsions (solpot). This study aims to determine the beliefs, local knowledge, utilization practices, and secondary metabolites of plants utilized by the Toba Batak people in ethnobotanical-based traditional medicine. This study used a mixed method through observation, interviews with traditional elders, accompanied by analysis of secondary metabolite content in plants used as therapeutic media. The results show that the Toba Batak people believe that plants have the power to cure physical ailments and disorders of supernatural beings. Local knowledge includes nine plant species from eight families with the most common habitus being tree habitus (34%). The plant parts used are predominantly leaves (18%), with the methods of use being drunk and massage (23%). Chemically, medicinal plants for convulsions (solpot) contain secondary metabolites dominated by alkaloids and saponins that play a role in treating seizures and calming nerves.

Abstract

Abstract. Scientific literacy plays a crucial role in enabling students to understand, evaluate, and respond to scientific issues that affect society. However, findings from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) indicate that the scientific literacy level of Indonesian students remains relatively low. This study aimed to investigate the improvement of students’ scientific literacy through the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) oriented toward Socioscientific Issues (SSI) in the topic of Environmental Change. This research employed a descriptive quantitative method with a pre-experimental One-Group Pretest-Posttest design. A MANOVA test yielded a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05), indicating that the SSI-based PBL model significantly enhanced students’ scientific literacy. These findings demonstrate that SSI-oriented PBL is effective in improving scientific literacy while fostering students’ awareness of the importance of protecting the environment from the negative impacts of environmental change.

Abstract

The problem of increasing organic waste in Indonesia has prompted the need for environmentally friendly waste management solutions. One effective approach is bioconversion using Hermetia illucens or Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae, which are capable of decomposing various types of organic waste. However, the growth and metamorphosis of BSF larvae are greatly influenced by environmental factors, particularly the pH of the growth medium, which plays an important role in the enzymatic activity and metabolism of the larvae. This study aims to determine the effect of media pH variation on the metamorphosis rate and biomass of Hermetia illucens larvae. The study was conducted using a completely randomized design (CRD) with three pH treatments, namely acidic (pH 4-5), neutral (pH 6.5-7.5), and alkaline (pH 8-9), each with three replicates. The medium used consisted of a mixture of vegetable and fruit waste with additional ingredients of rice bran and tofu pulp. The maggots used were 300 grams of larvae. Data analysis was performed using a one-way ANOVA test. The results showed that larvae reared in a medium with a neutral pH had the fastest metamorphosis time and highest biomass compared to those in acidic and alkaline media.
