The Effects of Temulawak extract and Yoghurt on HDL-LDL mice blood exposed waste cooking oil

Using cooking oil repeatedly in processing the fried foods can cause health problems, especially cholesterol metabolism that affect levels of HDL, LDL, triglycerides and total cholesterol blood that can cause blockage of blood vessels leading to coronary heart disease. This study aimed to determine the effect of temulawak extracts and yoghurt in lowering levels of LDL-HDL mice after given used cooking oil. The Treatments were temulawak extract at a dose of 280 mg/kg bw mice and 560 mg/kg bw mice and yoghurt concentration of 4% of the body weight of mice. Parameters measured were the levels of HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) and LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein). The results showed that temulawak extract 560 mg/kg bw and yoghurt 4 % bw effective in increasing HDL levels and decreasing LDL levels mice blood

Respondents thought that the Satpol PP officers in the duties and functions of the effectiveness in improving public order in the city of Pekanbaru is quite capable of doing a good job. As for the factors that are affecting the state of Satpol PP officers and community participation.Keywords: Effectiveness, Duties and Functions, and Public Orde

Respon Pemberian Phytoestrogen Berasal Dari Tepung Kedelai Pada Kelinci (Oryctolagus Cuniculus) Luas Jaringan Interstitial, Spermatogenesis Dan Kualitas Sperma

Kedelai, sebagai salah satu bahan penyusun ransum ternak diketahui mengandung senyawa phytoestrogen. Akumulasi senyawa phytoestrogen ini dalam ternak jantan telah mempengaruhi sistem reproduksi mencakup Perubahan anatomi makro, mikro, dan fungsi organ reproduksi, menghambat pertumbuhan sel gamet, kemampuan fertilisasi dan tingkah laku seksual. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui sejauh mana pengaruh pemberian tepung kedelai dan mencari dosis tepung kedelai yang tidak mengganggu terhadap luas jaringan interstitial, spermatogenesis dan kualitas sperma pada kelinci. Penelitian dilaksanakan secara eksperimental di laboratorium dengan menggunakan pola rancangan acak lengkap (RAL). Perlakuan terdiri dari 4 macam dosis tepung kedelai yaitu kontrol (K1), tepung kedelai dosis 123 mg/kg berat badan (bb) kelinci (K2), tepung kedelai dosis 246 mg/kg bb kelinci (K3) dan tepung kedelai dosis 490 mg/kg bb kelinci (K4). Setiap perlakuan diulang 4 kali. Kelinci jantan umur dua bulan digunakan sebagai hewan model berjumlah 16 ekor. Pengujian variabel meliputi pengukuran persentase sperma hidup, abnormalitas sperma, pengamatan spermatogenesis serta luas jaringan interstitial. Data hasil pengujian variabel dianalisis menggunakan Analisis Varians (ANAVA) dan Uji Duncan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian tepung kedelai sebagai sumber phytoestrogen pada kelinci menurunkan luas jaringan interstitial, spermatogenesis dan kualitas sperma akan tetapi dari ketiga dosis tepung kedelai yang diberikan, dosis 123 mg/kg bb kelinci memberikan hasil yang sama dengan kontrol bagi terbentuknya sperma hidup, terbentuknya abnormalitas sperma dan luas jaringan interstitial sehingga dapat dikatakan dosis 123 mg/kg bb kelinci adalah dosis yang relatif aman diberikan pada kelinci

Pengembangan Modul Praktikum Kimia Berbasis Problem Based Learning (Pbl) pada Pokok Bahasan Asam Basa untuk Kelas XI Tingkat Sma/ma Sederajat

Research development of chemical- learning media module of practical based Problem Based Learning (PBL) was intended to produce a valid practical module acid base by aspects of content, graphics, presentations, and languange. Other than that for know respons teacher and students to learning media of practical module acid base was developed. Research development of media used ADD models haven 3 steps was Analysis, Design, and Development. Result of research development of acid base practical module based Problem Based Learning (PBL) was valids by 3 validator's people and otherwise valid of aspect contents, languanges, presentations, and graphics with an average percentage of 88.47% (category valid). Response was rated by 18 respondens in SMAN 5 and MAN 1 Pekanbaru and declared percentage respons of 87,48% (category strongly agree). This indicates that the learning media in the form of acid-base experiment module based on Problem Based Learning (PBL) declared valid

Multi-Agent Simulation of Alternative Scenarios of Collaborative Forest Management

International calls for sustainable development advocate that forest management should be carried out in a multi-stakeholder environment. The importance of community participation is acknowledged in the Indonesian Act No. 41 on Forestry (1999). However, it is not clear how to achieve this in areas already allocated to a concession holder. Current regulations offer little flexibility for concessionaires to develop site-specific management, or to involve local communities in forest management. The research reported here examines the application of simulation techniques to explore scenarios of sustainable forest management addressing those limitations. Several scenarios have been developed using multi-agent simulation to examine social and biophysical issues. Of the four scenarios examined in this study, collaborative forest management involving both the concessionaire and the local community appears to offer the most promising pathway toward sustainabilit

Collaborative Modelling to Support Forest Management: Qualitative Systems Analysis at Lumut Mountain, Indonesia

Complex ecological and social processes in tropical forests imply that observations on any single element of the system do not provide an adequate basis for sound forest management. A collaborative modelling process engaging all relevant stakeholders led to a shared understanding of how to manage forests around Lumut Mountain, Pasir District, East Kalimantan. The model was developed by identifying forest management objectives, building a conceptual model using a causal loop diagram, and defining performance indicators. The model was then used to explore future scenarios to improve the well-being of local stakeholders while maintaining forest quality. Finally, roles needed to implement the chosen scenarios were defined and assigned to individual participants. This qualitative modelling process was found to be an effective way to assist the development of a collaborative action plan

Characterisation of plant growth-promoting bacteria from Kacip Fatimah (Labisia pumila) under natural tropical forest

Medicinal plants play a major role in many cultures, not only as medicines, but also as trade commodities to fulfil the demands of distant markets. A study was conducted to characterise growth-promoting bacteria from two varieties of Kacip Fatimah (Labisia pumila) found at two different locations, Sungai Tekala, Semenyih, Selangor for Labisia pumila var. lanceolate and Bukit Slim Permanent Forest Reserve, Perak for Labisia pumila var. alata. Soil and plant samples were taken for the physico-chemical analyses and characterisation of the indigenous plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). Both Labisia varieties were found to thrive in areas with quite similar soil chemical and physical properties in natural forest environments except for altitude, where Labisia pumila var. alata was found in higher elevation compared to Labisia pumila var. lanceolata. The soil in both places was found to be slightly acidic and low in nutrient content. Total bacterial population found on var. alata was higher than in var. lanceolata and the highest population was found in the root endosphere (8.68 × 107 cfu g-1 soil). Morphologically-isolated bacteria were circular in shape, with flat/raised elevation, entire margin, moist texture and smooth and glistening surface but varied in colour and size. Most of the bacterial strains showed several plant-growth promoting traits like plant-growth hormones (indole acetic acid (IAA)), N2 fixation and P solubilisation activities and beneficial enzymes. Two of the bacterial isolates showing most of the beneficial properties were identified as Exiguobacterium sp. and Stenotrophomonas sp. These PGPB have the potential to enhance the growth of Kacip Fatimah
