Abstract

Agricultural intensification program in Indonesia which is carried out by using high yield variety, high chemicals use and soil disturbances tends to trigger land exploitation. Land exploitation, performed without considering the lands capability can generate degradations on the land itself. Various methods have been used to determine land exploitation level, including evaluation of soil microbe resources as on soil component. This research is aimed to assess land exploitation level, based on the amount of microbial population. The result of this research is expected to add the soil quality standard criteria. In the case study performed in Dieng plateau, representative soil sampling method was used. The amount of microbial population can be enumerated using plating and MPN method. Based on nutrient availability to indicate the soil biological characteristics, the soil under the trees, shrub, and Colocasia were classified as “below normal”, and the soil under the grass, tobacco, cabbage and potato were classified as normal. It shows that the land exploitation at the agricultural soils were still in the range of its land capability.

Abstract

Banyu Biru is a natural lake in Sumber Rejo Village, Winongan District, Pasuruan Regency. There are local fishes in the Banyu Biru called sengkaring and tambra. Biological studies on these fishes are not so much known. This study aims to identify the relationship of sengkaring and tambra compared with the related species ( Tor spp.: Cyprinidae) from Indonesia. Morphometric analysis can be used to clustering and understanding the relationship of taxa. Each species represents 17 specimens (Tambra and Sengkaring) and measured 22 characters (in mm) by using digital caliper and the additional characters (21 characters). The canonical, clustering, similarity and distances were used. Based on morphometric measurements, sengkaring and tambra had similarity with the four species found in Indonesia. Commonly, the population of Sengkaring and Tambra was critical; therefore, studies needed to be carried out to support conservation.

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to examine how to increase cross and self-pollination by solving incompatibility of sweet potato mechanism through sucrose giving on stigma and pollen nuclei checking. Sucrose in different concentration is giving to stigma. Stigma is excised and lubricated with sucrose before crossing and the pedicel is lubricated with 2,4D 100 ppm in lanolin. The result shows both varieties have stigma position longer than the anthers do. Papua Solosa has 94.7% anther dehiscence, 70.25% pollen viability, while MSU 03028-10 has 87.3% anther dehiscence and 87.84% pollen viability. Both of these varieties have receptive stigma. Sucrose level in compatible pollination is lower than in incompatible pollination. Sugar in 50 ppm concentrate can increase fruit setting in self-pollination of Papua Solosa variety from 0% to 70%, 0% to 60% in MSU 03028-10, and 10% to 90% in crossing of Papua Solosa>Keywords : Pollen Morphology, Sucrose Giving, Incompatibility of Sweet Potato

Abstract

Artisanal fishers in developing world are unaware that fish are capable of suffering or discomfort, though researches have shown that fish do feel pain. Five fish welfare domains have been identified which constitute their rights in their environment. The needs of wild fish are usually provided in their natural, undisturbed and unperturbed aquatic environment, of which the fish will prefer. However, various anthropogenic activities by humans (including artisanal fisheries itself) and some natural perturbations in the watershed, riparian zone, water body of the fish habitat and on the fish tend to take away these needs thereby compromising the fish welfare. These activities include environmental degradation, boat/canoe building, use of motorized engine boats/canoes, use of active and passive fishing gears, obnoxious cultural, religious and social fishing practices, fish harvesting, handling and processing among others. One way to understand the welfare needs of an individual fish is to understand its biology. Poor welfare conditions could then be assessed by how far the individual fish has deviated from the normal conditions. Non-intrusive signs based on the health, behavior, morphological anomalies, swimming, reduction in population and growth, outbreak of parasitic infections, injuries and loss of condition can be used to assess fish whose welfare has been compromised. Artisanal fishers should not only be concerned with catch, but, also the welfare of the fish being caught. This is because if the welfare of the fish is compromised, it is going to definitely affect the catch. As indispensable as fish is to humans, humans should not derive its pleasure at the expense of fish suffering. Human activities that impinge on the welfare of wild fish may not necessarily be stopped, but at least minimized in order to have continued sustainable artisanal exploitation of the fisheries.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the water quality of tertiary irrigation in several subdistricts in Malang, namely Kepanjen, Karangploso, and Tumpang. The water quality depends on the water quality indices (National Sanitation Foundations-NSF Indices and OConnors Indices based on variables TSS, TDS, pH, DO, and Nitrate concentrate) and ecological indices of benthic macroinvertebrate (Diversity Indices Shannon-Wiener, Hilsenhof Biotic Indices-HBI, Average Score per Taxon-ASPT which is calculated by Biological Monitoring Working Party-BMWP, Ephemeroptera Indices, Plecoptera, Trichoptera-EPT). Observation of the physico-chemical water quality and benthic macroinvertebrate on May 2012 to April 2013. The sampling in each subdistrict was done at two selected stations in tertiary irrigation channel with three plot at each station. The data of physico-chemical quality of water were used to calculate the water quality indices, while the benthic macroinvertebrate data were used to calculate the ecological indices.The research findings showed that 27 taxa of benthic macroinvertebrates belong 10 classes were found in the three subdistrict. The pH, DO, Nitrate, TSS and TDS in six tertiary irrigation channels in Malang still met the water quality standards based on Government Regulation No.82 of 2001 on Management of Water Quality and Water Pollution Control Class III. Based on NSF-WQI indices and O'Connor's Indices, water qualities in these irrigation channels were categorized into medium or moderate (yellow) to good (green) category. However, based on benthic macroinvertebrate communities which was used to determine the HBI, the water quality in the irrigation channels were categorized into the air category (fairly significant organic pollution) to fairly poor (significant organic pollution), while based on the value of ASPT, the water were categorized into probable moderate pollution to probable severe pollution. The irrigation water which was categorized into good by WQI was consistently included into fair based on HBI and probable moderate pollution based on ASPT.

Abstract

Tripneustes gratilla an important ecological role in various habitats because T. gratilla is directly or indirectly recycling key from the nutrients in the waters of Ambon Island. Ambon Island has a distinctive topography, thus causing inhibition of water exchange period naturally in Ambon Bay and feared to complicate the exchange of genes between populations thus causing inbreeding. In addition the increasing environmental pollution can narrow the habitat of Tripneustes gratilla. Therefore, this study aims to determine the spatial distribution and genetic diversity of sea urchins (Tripneustes gratilla) on Ambon island based on cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene. Alignment results showed the presence of genetic variation of T. gratilla on the Ambon island. This is shown in several polymorphic base where there has tranversi experience, transition, and insertion. COI gene sequence similarity values of T. gratilla on Ambon island is around 98.4 to 100%. Distribution of T. gratilla population found on Ambon island generally have a relatively small number of individuals. From four locations that just only one location have large enough number of individuals. However, the results of genetic analysis using COI gene showed the presence of genetic closeness between T. gratilla despite located in different locations.

Abstract

he vegetation, other than the mangroves in Indus delta, for example Oryza coarctata is also the source of nutrients for the adjacent coastal environment. The O. coarctata is the major vegetation on the tidal mudflatds of Keti- Bunder (Hajambro creek), Indus delta, other than the Avicennia marina and Rhizophora mucronataplanted mangrove forest. This is the first report of decomposition rates of O. coarctata in the laboratory. The decomposition of O. coarctata. was conducted to evaluate the nutrients (ammonium, nitrate, nitrites, phosphates) during the decomposition. The decomposition rate was more rapid during this early phase and O. coarctata. decomposed up to 40 % during the first 7 days. Afterwards, the Oryzasp. decomposed slowly and gradually and remained up to 40% of the dry mass. Therefor e, about 60% of the organic matter present in the O. coarctatacan decompose completely in the aerobic conditions of the aquatic environment. The ammonium ions concentration was found 2.75 μM/L at 7th day and highest value was 6.38 μM/L at 124th day of exp eriment. So the amount of ammonium ions increased during the phase of decomposition. The nitrate ions concentration was 1.95 μM/L at 7th day and increased to 2.71 μM/L at 15th day of decomposition, and afterwards the concentration of nitrate decreased gradually and lowest value 0.129 μM/L was recorded in the last day of the experiment. The nitrite ions concentration was found 1.80 μM/L and gradually increased to 3.33 μM/L at 60th day and the lowest value was 3.05 μM/L. The initial concentration of the phosphate ions was 0.84 and decresed gradually during the phase of decomposition to its lowest value at 0.7 μM/L. The concentration of the nitrogen in the O. coarctata was initially between 1- 1.5 mg DW, which increased to about 2 mg DW at the 7th day of the decomposition. The % DW nitrogen contents than decreased suddenly at 15th day reaching up to about 1 mg DW of the decomposed material. This decrease of the t otal DW Nitrogen is very important, as it is the source of the nutrients to the adjacent ecosystem. The results are also strongly correlated with the nutrients values.

Abstract

Calcusol is a traditional medicine (jamu) ade from Tempuyung (Sonchus arvensis) extract and is usually used for cure kidney stone disease. However, there has not been any studies which investigate the its mechanism. The aim of this study is to know the effect of Calcusolâ„¢ to the plasma free radical and serum creatinin of Mus musculus model for renal calcium-oxalate accumulation. This study is carried out by administration of Porang (Amorphophallus muelleri) tuber flour for 3 months with the doses 6 mg/100g BW to induce renal calcium oxalate accumulation and Calcusolâ„¢ treatment for 7 days with the doses of 3.3mg/g BW. Group I was used as a control group. Group II was only given porang (A. muelleri)every day for 3 months. Group III was only given Calcusolâ„¢ for 7 days. Group IV were given porang (A. muelleri) for 3 months then given Calcusolâ„¢ for 7 days. Group V were given porang (A. muelleri) and Calcusolâ„¢ simultaneously for 3 months. Porang and CalcusolTM is administrated orally. Blood was collected from the tail of theanimal for serum creatinin test and plasma free radical test using TBARS method. The data was analyzed using ANOVA followed by Tukey HSD to compare the means employing SPSS 16.0 forwindows. The result of the research shows that the treatment Calcusolâ„¢ on mice model for renal calcium oxalate accumulation. The content of MDA at group I, group II, group III, group IV and group V, respectivelyis 0.81±0.5 mg/ml; 2.63±0.8 mg/ml; 0.56±0.5 mg/ml; 2.09±0.9 mg/ml and 0.17±0.17 mg/ml. And the content of serum creatinine are 0.15±0.04 mg/dL; 0.13±0.03 mg/dL; 0.12±0.08 mg/dL; 0.11±0.016 mg/dL and 0.14±0.015 mg/dL at group I, group II, group III, Group IV, and group V respectively. This indicates that Calcusolâ„¢ decreases plasma free radical production during renal stone formation, while serum creatinin reduced but not significantly changed. Calcusolâ„¢ has an effect to decrease free radical during renalstone formation inmice model for calcium oxalate accumulation and also decrease serum creatinin.
