Binturong (Arctictis binturong) is an animal in the Viverridae family and one of the endangered species. The research was conducted at the Alobi Animal Rescue Center (PPS) from April 27-30 2023. The Alobi Wildlife Rescue Center (PPS) is a special conservation organization located in Bangka Belitung Province. The aim of this study was to analyze and identify the behavior of the Binturong animal (Arctictis binturong) in the Alobi PPS area. The research used direct observation methods, behavior sampling, interviews and data analysis. The animal objects observed were three binturongs, namely male binturongs (Wembi and Bembi) and female binturongs (Maya). The results obtained during the study were the highest locomotion activity in Maya with a frequency of 233, and the lowest locomotion activity in Bembi with a frequency of 74.5. Then, the highest grooming was in Maya with a frequency of 34 and the lowest in Bembi 26 followed by the highest eating and drinking activities in Maya with a frequency of 18 and the lowest in Bembi 2. The highest social activity was in Bembi 13.5 and the lowest in Wembi was 0. The activity of breaking off the highest frequency i.e. 77 in Maya and the lowest in Bembi 9. The highest sequential frequency value is 0,5 urination in Maya, and the highest defecation is 1 in Bembi. The highest frequency for timber violations was Wembi, which was 41, and the lowest was Bembi, 4.5. the highest frequency vocalization behavior is on Maya 4.5 and the lowest is on Bembi 0.

Ethnobotanical Study of Natural Coloring Plants in Raut Muara Village, Sanggau Regency

2024-02-12T09:31:51+00:00

ABSTRACT

The use of synthetic dyes can trigger health and environmental problems. Natural dyes are one of the innovations to replace the use of synthetic dyes because they are non-toxic and environmentally friendly. The people of Raut Muara Village, Sanggau Regency utilize several plants as natural dyes such as tipu' (Etlingera linguiformis (Roxb.) R.M.Sm) which is used as a food dye, kecombrang (Etlingera elatior (Jack)) as a beverage dye, red bajakah (Spatholobus ferrugineus Zoll.&Moritzi)Benth.) as a cosmetic, and yellow root (Arcangelisia flava (L.) Merr) as a fabric dye. This study aims to increase public knowledge about the types, parts of plants used and processing methods carried out by the people of Raut Muara Village. The method used in the research is descriptive method and data collection techniques by triangulation which is a combination of interviews, observation and documentation. Determination of informants using purposive sampling technique with 53 informants. The results of the study obtained 26 plant species from 22 families that are utilized by the leaves, fruit, seeds, and roots.

The Effect of Mol of Rice Water Waste and Kepok Banana Peel to The Growth of Brassica rapa chinensis

2024-02-12T09:32:30+00:00

MOL is fermented solution by microbes from organic ingredients such as banana peel. MOL are useful in accelerating the destruction of organic materials and can be used as organic containing NPK fertilizer . This study aims to know the effect of the mixed of rice washing water and banana peel as MOL solution to the growth of pakcoy plants (Brassica rapa chinensis) and the its best concentration. The research design used in this study was a completely randomized design (RAL) consisting of 5 treatments and 5 replications. The treatments in this study were P0 (control) P1 (10%) P2 (20%) P3 (30%) and P4 (40%). The data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and continued with the Duncan/DMRT test (Duncan Multipe Range Test) at a significance level of 5%. The results showed that the MOL of kepok banana peel affects the growth of pakcoy plants on certain parameters, namely wet weight, dry weight and plant root length but not for the height and number of leaves. P2 treatment(20%) showed the best results.

Macaranga Diversity and Genetic Relationship in Bangka Island

2024-02-12T09:33:56+00:00

Macaranga Thou. (Euphorbiaceae) is the largest genus which is known as a pioneer on disturbed land due to mining, agriculture, and settlements. The study aims to record diversity and analyze Macaranga relationships on Bangka Island and compare them with those in the Sundaland region. It was carried out in July – Desember 2018 in four habitat types: hills, lowland forest, peat swamp forest, and open land, with each in five different villages. Specimens were identified with the collections of Herbarium Bangka Belitungense and Herbarium Bogoriense. Leaf samples for molecular tests used the teabag method, DNA analysis with a combination of primers ITS4 and ITS5, and analysis using Maximum Likelihood. The five species documented are M. bancana, M. gigantea, M. javanica, M. pruinosa, and M. trichocarpa. All species grow mostly in lowland forests and hill forests, M. pruinosa is only found in peat swamp forests. M. bancana and M. pruinosa are closely related to Macaranga in the Malay Peninsula, M. trichocarpa is close to the species in Borneo, while M. javanica is not known to be related to either the Malay Peninsula or Borneo because there are no comparable sequences. M. gigantea does not show strong genetic differences from the Malay Peninsula or Borneo.

Meta-analisis Kolerasi antara Jumlah Trombosit dengan Karakteristik Pasien dalam Patogenesis Malaria

2024-02-12T09:33:18+00:00

Malaria merupakan penyakit akibat gigitan nyamuk jenis Anopheles betina yang mengandung Plasmodium. Plasmodium merupakan makhluk hidup bersel satu dan termasuk dalam kelompok protozoa yang apabila masuk dalam tubuh nantinya akan hidup dan berkembang biak dalam sel darah manusia. Malaria hampir mempengaruhi semua komponen darah, yaitu salah satunya trombosit yang dapat menyebabkan trombositopenia. Plasmodium sp. diketahui juga memiliki pengaruh terhadap trombosit. Tujuan penelitian ini Kolerasi antara Jumlah Trombosit dengan Karakteristik Pasien dalam Patogenesis Malaria Metode : Ulasan literatur yang melakukan pemeriksaan trombosit pada penderita malaria akibat infeksi Plasmodium sp. Penelusuran literatur dengan menggunakan database pada Google Scholar, PubMed, dan Science Direct. Dengan menggunakan 21 sumber literature, dan 4 dari 21 itu dijadikan sebagai sumber data. Hasil: Penelusuran dari pencarian referensi atau literatur didapatkan bahwa yang paling menderita malaria berada pada rentang usia 12 25 tahun dan 26 45 tahun dan pada jenis kelamin lebih banyak laki-laki yang menderita malaria dibandingkan dengan perempuan dan diketahui bahwa terdapat korelasi antara jumlah trombosit dengan penderita malaria.
