This study examines the potential antidiabetic activity of a combination of Mangifera foetida L. and Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb. leaves. Mangifera leaves contain a compound called mangiferin, which acts as an antidiabetic and antioxidant. On the other hand, Pandanus leaves, are rich in terpenoids and steroids that also possess anti-diabetic effects. An Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) was conducted on male mice of the Babl/c strain to assess the antidiabetic effects. The test involved administering a combination of ethanolic leaf extracts from Mangifera foetida L. and Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb. in a 1:1 ratio. The study followed a pre-test design with a control group, comprising six treatment groups, each consisting of four male mice. The groups were described as follows: Group 1 was served as the normal group without any treatment. Groups II-IV received single extracts or combinations of extracts at doses of 62.5 mg/200g BW, 125 mg/200g BW, and 250 mg/200g BW. Group V acted as the positive control and was given oral glucose and glibenclamide at a dose of 0.09 mg/200g BW. Group VI was served as the negative control, receiving oral glucose and distilled water. The group that exhibited the highest percentage of decreased blood sugar levels was the one given oral glucose at a dose of 0.078g/20g BW of mice, along with the combination of Mangifera foetida L. and Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb. leaves extract (1:1) at a dose of 35 mg/20g BW. This group demonstrated a decrease of 71.985 ± 4.858 in blood glucose levels. The ANOVA analysis confirmed that the percentage decrease in blood sugar levels was significantly different from the positive control, indicating a higher effectiveness of the combination treatment in reducing blood glucose levels than the positive control.

Ulee Lheue Beach in Banda Aceh was developed for tourism. The macroalgae and seaweed species found in this area have been widespread but never exploited. Among these species is the green seaweed, Ulva lactuca, commonly known as sea lettuce. The physiological variations and genetic features of the seaweed can be attributed to the variations in the coastal environment. This study aims to describe the molecular identity of the genetic diversity of U. lactuca from the intertidal zone at Ulee Lheue Beach. The development of molecular biotechnology has enabled identification the gene expression through genomic DNA to PCR amplification. Genetic distance was determined using UPGMA. The results from 600-bp fragments were analyze the genetic diversity. A total of 15 (31%) expression identified as polymorphic (0.500). Heterozygosity (He) and allelic differential (Na) diversity were found of 1.500–3.000. The highest PIC was observed in the rbcL1, with a correlation between subpopulations of 0.459. PCR amplification using the degenerate primer rbcL1 produced fragments ranging from 300 to 460 bp, whereas the expression of UL2 was detected at 448 and 500 bp using the rbcL2 primer. The phylogenetic identify are shown two (2) clusters. The populations of UL1, UL3, and UL4 were found a close relationship. Furthermore, the UL1 and UL2 populations were further divided into distinct clusters but related to the main branch of UL3. Based on this research, the concern of U. lactuca species for industrial and biotechnology destinations, we can describe a suitable method for obtaining he genetic distances between species.

Earthquakes and tsunamis natural disasters have repeatedly occurred on the coast of Aceh province, which lies between the confluence of two plates. The tsunami deposits in this area can provide important information regarding the reconstruction of marine attacks by past earthquakes and tsunamis. In general, tsunami deposits can be identified based on their geological, sedimentological, paleontological, and geochemical characteristics. In our research work, spectrometry X-ray fluorescence (XRF) has been utilized to investigate the geochemical signatures of tsunami-affected soil samples in Aceh province at three tsunami-impacted areas, namely Aceh Besar regency, Banda Aceh City, and Aceh Barat regency. The sampling point is located about a kilometer from the coastal line. Our findings indicate that tsunami-affected soils in Aceh Province after 10 years struck by tsunami contain terrestrial markers such as Fe and Ti, carbonate markers (Mg, Ca), and heavy metals elements (Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Sr). On the other hand, in our study, the concentration ratios of several elements such as Si/Ti and Ca/Ti seem most suitable as a chemical signature for differentiating environmental conditions such as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami event. It could be noticed that geochemical analysis by XRF can be applied to characterize the tsunami-affected soils in several coastal areas of Aceh province.
位于两大板块交汇处的亚齐省海岸曾多次发生地震和海啸自然灾害。该地区的海啸沉积物可以为重建过去地震和海啸对海洋的侵袭提供重要信息。一般来说，海啸沉积物可根据其地质学、沉积学、古生物学和地球化学特征进行识别。在我们的研究工作中，利用光谱 X 射线荧光 (XRF) 技术调查了亚齐省三个受海啸影响地区（即亚齐 Besar 县、班达亚齐市和亚齐 Barat 县）受海啸影响土壤样本的地球化学特征。采样点距离海岸线约一公里。我们的研究结果表明，亚齐省受海啸影响 10 年后的土壤中含有陆地标记（如铁和钛）、碳酸盐标记（镁、钙）和重金属元素（铬、镍、铜、锌和锶）。另一方面，在我们的研究中，Si/Ti 和 Ca/Ti 等几种元素的浓度比似乎最适合作为区分 2004 年印度洋海啸事件等环境条件的化学特征。可以注意到，利用 XRF 进行地球化学分析可用于描述亚齐省多个沿海地区受海啸影响土壤的特征。

The dynamics of the spring-pendulum system with two degrees of freedom were studied. The motion of this system is restricted to be in a vertical plane so that the chosen generalized coordinates are the increased length of the spring and the swing angle of pendulum . Hamiltonian of the system is obtained from the Legendre transformation of Lagrangian. Hamilton’s equation yields four differential equations that represent the dynamic of the system. The obtained results were visualized in configuration space and phase space trajectories. It is shown that generally the greater the initial swing angle, the more complex pattern will occur followed by the appearance of chaotic phenomena.

The level of the population’s well-being can be measured by using a subjective well-being indicator which is called happiness, which can be affected by various factors from individuals. However, the background of individuals in a group cannot be ignored. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the factors that affect the level of happiness in Southeast Asian countries at the individual and country levels. Data came from World Value Survey (WVS) Wave 7 with 11,387 individuals from the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Data were analyzed using an ordinal response multilevel model with the level of happiness as a response variable. The results showed that the happiness level was affected by gender, marital status, health status, income, religiosity, education level, life satisfaction, and freedom of choice. However, age at the individual level and variables at the country level did not affect the happiness level.

This study aims to determine and compare antioxidant activity, total phenolics, flavonoids, and the relationship of phenolic and total flavonoids with the antioxidant activity of the three kratom variants. The ethanol extract of the third variant of kratom leaves was obtained by maceration. Through the antioxidant activity test using DPPH method, all three extracts showed strong antioxidant activity with IC50 values of 26.39, 30.25, and 30.59 μg/mL. The relationship of total phenolics and flavonoids with antioxidant activity was determined by the Pearson correlation test. Examination of total phenolic content using the Folin-Ciocalteu method with successive results for green, red, and white kratom are 6.11, 8.67, and 9.09 mg GAE/g extract. Examination of total flavonoid content using the colorimetric method for green, red, and white kratom were 0.86, 0.68, and 1.13 mg QE/g extract, respectively. The total phenolic content and antioxidant activity showed a correlation coefficient value of -0.32 (P0.05), and the total flavonoid content to antioxidant activity showed a correlation coefficient value of 0.81 (P0.05). Thus, all three variants of kratom have potency as natural antioxidants, but their total phenolic and flavonoid content does not influence their antioxidant activity.

Moringa has many ingredients of nutrients that are beneficial for food sources and nutrients that have not been widely cultivated. The nutritional content, benefits and high demand for Moringa abroad will open large opportunities for exporting Moringa flour. Foods full of nutrition will support the maintenance of good public health. For this reason, it is necessary to study and research cultivation techniques that produce high Moringa leaves and can be available sustainably. Production of Moringa leaves as a source of secondary metabolites can be increased by modifying the planting media and applying Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) and Nitrogen. The study used Split Split Plot Design with the main plot immersion by PGR, consisting of 3 types, namely: G1 (Fresh water), G2 (Coconut water), and G3 (GA3). The subplot was the treatment of planting media with two types: M₁ (soil: sand: manure = 1:1:2); M₂ (soil: sand: manure = 1:2:1). The sub subplots were N (urea) fertilizer, with four levels: N0 (0 g/plant); N1 (5 g/plant); N₂ (10 g/plant); and N₃ (15 g/plant). Each treatment combination goes over three times. The agronomic parameters observed were plant height, the number of leaves, fresh crop weight, and root volume, and the biochemical parameters observed were chlorophyll, protein, and calcium levels. The composition of the planting media caused significant differences in plant height at 4, 6, and 10 weeks after planting (WAP), the number of leaves at 4 WAP, and root length at 10 WAP. Growth Regulators significantly affected plant height at 4, 6, and 10 WAP, the number of leaves at 4 WAP, and root length at harvest. Nitrogen fertilization caused significant differences in plant height at 4, 6, and 10 WAP, volume, and root length at harvest (10 WAP). The combination of Planting media, PGR, and Nitrogen treatments caused significant differences in plant height at 4, 6, and 10 WAP and the number of leaves at 6 WAP.

Sulistiani, Mukhtar Yusuf, Syaiful Amri Saragih","doi":"10.24815/jn.v24i1.32403","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.24815/jn.v24i1.32403","url":null,"abstract":"Moringa has many ingredients of nutrients that are beneficial for food sources and nutrients that have not been widely cultivated. The nutritional content, benefits and high demand for Moringa abroad will open large opportunities for exporting Moringa flour. Foods full of nutrition will support the maintenance of good public health. For this reason, it is necessary to study and research cultivation techniques that produce high Moringa leaves and can be available sustainably. Production of Moringa leaves as a source of secondary metabolites can be increased by modifying the planting media and applying Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) and Nitrogen. The study used Split Split Plot Design with the main plot immersion by PGR, consisting of 3 types, namely: G1 (Fresh water), G2 (Coconut water), and G3 (GA3). The subplot was the treatment of planting media with two types: M₁ (soil: sand: manure = 1:1:2); M₂ (soil: sand: manure = 1:2:1). The sub subplots were N (urea) fertilizer, with four levels: N0 (0 g/plant); N1 (5 g/plant); N₂ (10 g/plant); and N₃ (15 g/plant). Each treatment combination goes over three times. The agronomic parameters observed were plant height, the number of leaves, fresh crop weight, and root volume, and the biochemical parameters observed were chlorophyll, protein, and calcium levels. The composition of the planting media caused significant differences in plant height at 4, 6, and 10 weeks after planting (WAP), the number of leaves at 4 WAP, and root length at 10 WAP. Growth Regulators significantly affected plant height at 4, 6, and 10 WAP, the number of leaves at 4 WAP, and root length at harvest. Nitrogen fertilization caused significant differences in plant height at 4, 6, and 10 WAP, volume, and root length at harvest (10 WAP). The combination of Planting media, PGR, and Nitrogen treatments caused significant differences in plant height at 4, 6, and 10 WAP and the number of leaves at 6 WAP. Laboratory analysis in this study showed high calcium and protein in Moringa leaves.","PeriodicalId":32986,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Natural","volume":"17 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140439396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Barringtonia asiatica, a marine plant belonging to the Lecythidaceae family, exhibits bioactivity in all parts of the plant. In the Simeulue region, the seeds of this plant are used for fish trapping. The polar extracts of B. asiatica seeds has shown antibacterial activity, but the non-polar extracts has not been studied yet. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the secondary metabolites of B. asiatica using a non-polar solvent (n-hexane) and evaluate its activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The extraction method employed using soxhlet extraction, and the antibacterial activity was determined using the Kirby-Bauer method. The presence of secondary metabolites in the B. asiatica seed extract was assessed using phytochemical tests, and its chemical composition was analyzed using Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrophotometry (GC-MS). The yield of n-hexane extract from B. asiatica seeds was 1.7%, and the phytochemical analysis revealed that the B. asiatica seed’s n-hexane extract contains only terpenoids compounds. The B. asistica seed’s n-hexane extract at concentration of 10% (w/v) showed the highest zone of inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus (9.3 mm) followed by Escherichia coli (9,9 mm). The GC-MS analysis showed that B. asiatica seed’s n-hexane extract contains Guaiene, Guaiene, Ledene, 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid, and Ethyl linoleate. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that B. asiatica seed's n-hexane extract exhibited antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli.
