The genotype evaluation process requires analysis of GxE interactions to ascertain the responsiveness of a genotype to various environments, including the development of early maturing rice. However, the concept of interaction is relatively specific to grain yield. In contrast, grain yield is highly polygenic, so assessment should be carried out with multivariate approaches. Therefore, multivariate assessment in evaluating GxE interactions should be developed, especially for early maturing rice genotypes. The study aimed to develop a comprehensive multivariate approach to improve the comprehensiveness and responsiveness of GxE interaction analysis. The study was conducted in Bone and Soppeng districts, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, in two seasons. The study used a randomized complete block design, where replications were nested across two seasons and locations. Two check varieties and five early maturing varieties were replicated three times in each environment. Based on this study, a new approach to GxE interaction analysis based on multiple regression index analysis, BLUP analysis, factor analysis, and path analysis was considered adequate, especially for evaluating early maturing rice. This approach combined days to harvest, biological yield, and grain yield in multiple linear regression with weighting based on the combination of all analyses. The effectiveness of the GxE interaction assessment was reflected by high coefficient of determination (R2) and gradient (b) values above 0.8 and 0.9, respectively. Inpari 13 (R2 = 0.9; b=1.05), Cakrabuana (R2 = 0.98; b=0.99), and Padjajaran (R2 = 0.95; b=1.07) also have good grain yield with days to harvesting consideration, namely 7.83 ton ha-1, 98.12 days; 7.37 ton ha-1, 95.52 days; and 7.29 ton ha-1, 97.23 days, respectively. Therefore, this index approach can be recommended in GxE interaction analysis to evaluate early maturing rice genotypes. Furthermore, Inpari 13, Cakrabuana, and Padjajaran are recommended as adaptive early maturing varieties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Alpinia monopleura is one of the endemic plants of Sulawesi, and it has an extensive distribution in the region. Research on chemical compounds and biological activities of A. monopleura is essential to continue as an effort to support the utilization of native plants for medicine. The extract was obtained using the maceration method. The chemical compounds in the extract were identified using Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LCMS). Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) and molecular docking methods were used to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity. Ten compounds contained in the extract were successfully identified, E-para-coumaric acid (1), trans-ferulaldehyde (2), 3,5,6-trihydroxy-4',7-dimethoxyflavone (3), nevadensin (4), malvalic acid (5), ent-16α,17-hydroxy-19-kauranoic acid (6), 3',5-dihydroxy-7,4'-dimethoxy flavone (7), saurufuran B (8), 5-hydroxy-7,8,2'-trimethoxyflavanone (9) and dehydroabietic acid (10). The anti-inflammatory activity of extracts from rhizomes and stems of A. monopleura were 8.62 and 10.59 mg/L, respectively. Some flavonoids (9 and 7) can bind strongly to specific residues around the COX-2 active site, such as Ser530, thereby interfering with the function of the COX-2 enzyme and reducing the production of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins. Thus, A. monopleura extract has the potential to inhibit inflammatory responses through molecular regulation of the COX-2 enzyme. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The demands of higher education today are increasingly various and complicated as they provide technology and information-based services to students, lecturers, education staff, and alumni who need services easily and quickly. One solution is to integrate through the Integrated Service Centre, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ISC-ITS), by developing digitalization services through the myITS Services platform. The stages of innovation begin with legalisation services, translate diplomas, and graduation certificates, while future innovation development plans to expand into human capital services, finance, and cooperation. The purpose of this research is to analyze integrated service innovation in the Integrated Service Centre. This research uses qualitative methods and Albrecht and Zemke’s theory of public service innovation which examines technology-based services, human resources and service recipients. Data were obtained from observations, interviews, and documentation from service providers and recipients. The results of this study show that myITS Services can respond to the challenges of integrated service innovation needs at the Integrated Service Centre, as a university in realizing digital transformation and as an effort to implement Good University Governance (GUG), but that human resources teams must be supported and assistance provided for service recipients. As innovation continues to be carried out in public service, breakthroughs ISC-ITS come in the form of creative original ideas and adaptations and modifications to existing working methods to provide benefits, both directly and indirectly, to stakeholders.

This study aimed to analyze the carrying capacity of Curug Cimarinjung and Puncak Darma using the Douglass method and the willingness to pay for conservation fees using the Contingent Valuation Method Respondents to the research were 150 tourists and several tourism managers. Curug Cimarinjung can accommodate as many as 184 people day-1, and the Puncak Darma as many as 118 people day-1. Tourists who were willing to pay for conservation fees comprised 78% of the total respondents with a one-time payment mechanism through an entrance ticket. In total of 39.39% of respondents were not willing to pay as they believed that it was the responsibility of the government. The conservation costs were IDR 10,000 for Curug Cimarinjung and IDR 5,000 for Puncak Darma. The difference in conservation costs was because the attractiveness of the attractions in the two tourist spots varied, thus affecting the number of tourists and the nominal amount that tourists were willing to pay. If the tariff was adjusted according to the average Willingness to Pay, an entry fee at Cimarinjung Waterfall would have been charged, which was initially IDR 5,000 per person, would have been IDR 15,000 per person, while at Puncak Darma it would have been IDR 3,000 per person to IDR 8,000 per person. Determining ticket prices that had been adjusted to the average Willingness to Pay could control the number of visits so that they did not exceed capacity and did not disturb biodiversity conservation. In such conditions, tourists could carry out tourist activities comfortably and safely. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Capsicum annum L. is the most widely cultivated species due to its economic importance and health benefits. West Sumatra is one of the largest chili pepper producers in Indonesia, so it has a lot of local chili genetic resources. There is inadequate information on the genetic diversity of local chilies in West Sumatra. The purpose of this research was to analyze the genetic diversity of 23 genotypes of chili pepper from West Sumatra amplified with 10 markers of ISSR. The material used was leaves from 23 genotypes of West Sumatra's local chili which are collections of the Agriculture Faculty, Andalas University, Padang, West Sumatra. The results showed that ISSR markers (ISSR primer 12, ISSR UBC, and ISSR 3M) had produced 84 polymorphic DNA bands with a total polymorphic percentage of 61.45%. The dendrogram based on 10 ISSR markers showed that the 23 chili genotypes were retrieved into three main groups (I, II, III, IV) with genetic similarity coefficient values ranging from 0.67 to 0.97 or a diversity of features of 0.03-0.33 (30%). Group I consisted of 1 genotype, group II consisted of 3 genotypes, and group III consisted of 14 genotypes. Kopay chili (G20) has a large genetic distance compared to the other genotypes, while Lolai and Gero chilies have a very high similarity. This genetic diversity information can be used as a basis for generating crosses between genotypes in a breeding program. The farther the genetic distance will produce a high population diversity, the greater the chance of getting superior hybrids. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Hypertension (HTN) has become a serious health problem in developing countries. The family has an important role in maintaining blood pressure (BP) at home, and sodium diet compliance in people with HTN needs to be developed. Therefore, this research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a family self-management program (FSMP) in HTN management and compliance with sodium consumption in rural areas of Indonesia. Study Design: A parallel-group, single-blind randomized controlled trial. Methods: One hundred twenty-six eligible participants were randomly allocated to an intervention (n = 63) and a control group (n = 63). Participants in the intervention group received a 24-week (6-month) FSMP intervention. The primary outcome measures included the systolic and diastolic BP, the Score Sodium Questionnaire (SSQ), and the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale 8 (MMAS-8). The Knowledge of Health Care for HTN questionnaire and the Efficacy and Behavior Toward Health Care for Patients with HTN questionnaire were used to assess the secondary outcome. Results: The final results were analyzed from 121 participants (n = 61 intervention and n = 60 control group). The repeated analysis of variance (ANOVA) test results demonstrated significant effects on the management of HTN and adherence to sodium consumption as indicated by systolic (P = 0.004) and diastolic BP (P = 0.006), SSQ (P < 0.001), MMAS 8 (P < 0.001), caregivers' knowledge (P < 0.001), caregivers' self-efficacy (P < 0.001), and caregivers' behaviors (P = 0.005). Conclusion: The FMSP emerges as a promising strategy for managing BP and adherence to sodium consumption in people with HTN through the support of family caregivers and self-management activities.

Summary: Gelatine is obtained from the hydrolysis of collagen in bones, skin, fins, fish scales and insect bodies of cattle, pigs, camels, poultry, fish and insects. Consequently, the diversity and availability of gelatine sources, along with gelatine authentication, are concerns for those consuming gelatine products from religious, health and economic perspectives. Therefore, rapid and reliable protein‐ or DNA‐based detection methods have been developed for gelatine authentication. This review discusses and evaluates biosensor methods, comparing them with various analytical methods in terms of their popularity and precision. Additionally, the development of biosensor methods has been explored to identify a reference for a rapid, accurate, portable and simple method for gelatine detection with a low detection limit and high specificity.

Introduction: Plant treatment has been used for thousands of years and has been proven to treat acute and chronic diseases. The function of the traditional plant Centella asiatica is as an antimicrobial agent, anticancer, antioxidant, and therapeutic gene in healing wounds and inflammation. Lung fibrosis caused by bleomycin can develop into chronic lung disease, which ends in tissue death if not treated immediately. The purpose of this study is to predict and explain the impact of Centella asiatica extract on model rats exposed to bleomycin in their lungs as a treatment or anti-fibrinolysis. Methods: This research is an analytical study with a randomized in-vivo experimental design divided into 3 groups of 5 male Wistar rats aged 10 weeks. Negative control group (K) with intratracheal induction of bleomycin alone. The positive group was given intratracheal bleomycin 4 mg/kg/BB on days 0 and 21 and added Centella asiatica induction at 400 mg (P1) on days 15 to 49. The other positive group was given intratracheal bleomycin 4 mg/kg/BB on days 0 and 21 and added Centella asiatica induction at 800 mg (P2) on days 15 to 49. Data were collected according to findings of lung histology analysis of rat samples. Results: In the interalveolar septum group, there was a difference in Masson's Trichrome staining results in groups K and P1 with p< 0.05 (p=0.036). However, there was no difference in histopathological staining results in groups K and P2 (p> 0.05). Conclusion: The induction of bleomycin 4 mg/kg/BB was proven to cause fibrosis in the lungs of rats, and Centella asiatica extract was used as a treatment. Therefore, further research regarding antifibrotic drugs is hoped to reduce fibrotic areas significantly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Analyzing air pollution caused by traffic conditions requires appropriate indicators. Currently, air pollution indicators are approximated by the number of vehicles and gas station density. However, this approach cannot provide information at a smaller level. This study aims to identify traffic congestion distribution from Google Maps data as an alternative air pollution indicator at smaller level using map digitization method. In addition, this study examines its relationship with the existing indicator called gas station density. The results show that the digitization method can map the traffic congestion distribution where most areas in West, North, and Central Jakarta are classified as high traffic. In addition, this study found that there is a strong and significant relationship of 0.58277 between traffic congestion distribution and gas station density. Thus, traffic congestion distribution and gas station density data from Google Maps can be used as an indicator of traffic-related air pollution, especially land transportation. Furthermore, this research is expected to serve as a basis for the government in determining mitigation strategies related to traffic congestion and the resulting emissions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The research method uses pre- experiment with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research sample comprised 63 students in classes 7A and 7B of SMP Negeri 11 Yogyakarta. The instruments used are tests and non-tests. The test instrument uses pretest and posttest critical thinking skills. The non-test instrument uses observation of collaboration skills. The data analysis results show the influence of using Google Sites PBL learning media on students' critical thinking abilities. Judging from the results of the Wilcoxon test, the Sig (2-tailed) value is <0.05, namely 0.000, and there is an effect size value of -0.616, which shows that the magnitude of the effect is in a large category. Students' collaborative skills obtained an average score of 75.14, which is in the good category. Based on the results of data analysis, the Google Sites PBL model learning media can improve students’ critical thinking skills and determine students' collaboration skills. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Toxic Relationship is an event when you feel hurt, feel disadvantaged, feel uncomfortable, feel insecure, lack of affection, and the victim feels intimidated. The impact can flatten fear and traumu and make it difficult to interact socially. The method used in this study is qualitative with a phenomenological approach by explaining the phenomenon of experience that has been carried out by one of the individuals experienced with real events. The object was obtained by several subjects with data sources coming from interviews and data analysis was carried out by data reduction, presenting data and drawing conclusions. The results of this study are two forms of violence, namely verbal violence and physical violence. Most of the problems obtained are about the bad treatment of their partners. This causes the victim to feel inferior and triggers his mental health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study aimed to investigate the effect of supplementing chitosan, Bacillus subtilis or blends of both on broiler growth performance, immune response, biochemical variables, and intestinal ecology of broiler chickens. Two hundred and eighty day-old chicks were distributed into 4 experimental groups, including T0 (control, basal feed), T1 (basal feed + chitosan 0.1% feed), T2 (basal feed + B. subtilis 0.01% feed), and T3 (basal feed + chitosan 0.1% feed + B. subtilis 0.01% feed). Variables measurements and sample collection were conducted on day 35. The T3 did not differ from T0 and T1, but they consumed less (p=0.05) feed than T2 chickens. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) was lower (p=0.05) in T1 and T3 compared to T0 and T2 groups. Leukocyte counts in T2 and T3 were higher (p=0.05) than those in T0. The T1, T2, and T3 had higher (p=0.05) lymphocyte counts than T0. The T3 had lower (p=0.05) low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels than the T0 group. The T2 had higher (p=0.05) levels of total protein and globulin than T3 and T0. Compared to T0 and T3, serum albumin levels were greater (p=0.05) in T1 and T2. The T3 had higher (p=0.05) duodenal villi height than that in the other groups. The T2 and T3 chicks had higher (p=0.05) Newcastle disease titer than T0 and T1. Compared to T2 and T3, T0 and T1 showed a worse (p=0.05) microscopic structure of jejunum. The T2 and T3 showed lower (p=0.05) lesion score in bursa of fabricius than that in the other groups. In conclusion, the blends of chitosan and B. subtilis resulted in improved FCR, higher leukocyte and lymphocyte counts, lower LDL, higher duodenal villi height, higher Newcastle disease titer, better microscopic structure of jejunum, and lower lesion score in bursa of fabricius of broiler chickens.

The use of gadgets in the current era of globalization has become a concerning trend, especially among preschool children, leading to addiction and detrimental effects on their physical, psychological, and emotional health. It has also resulted in increased social isolation and hindered development. The impact of this trend is significantly influenced by the roles of parents, family, and the surrounding environment. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of health education using modules on the benefits of storytelling and coloring therapy in enhancing parents' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding prudent gadget use in preschool children. The research design was a pre-post quasi-experiment without a control group. The population comprised parents with preschool children attending 11 public kindergartens in Samarinda City. A total sampling method was utilized, resulting in 303 respondents. Health education intervention occurred after the pre-test, followed by one month of assistance and a subsequent post-test. The research instrument was a questionnaire adapted from the theory of planned behavior, assessing parents' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to providing gadgets to children. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate analyses using the Wilcoxon test. The results indicate a significant influence of health education using modules on the benefits of storytelling and coloring therapy on parents' wise gadget use in preschool children (p-value < 0.005). Thus, health education for parents on prudent gadget use in preschoolers is highly recommended, particularly during parent meetings at school. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Adolescents with disabilities deserve the best health care without discrimination. They can access gender-sensitive health care and rehabilitation. Health services include promotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative care. HIV and AIDS prevention in disabled people must start as soon as possible. Those with speech disabilities are encouraged to reach their full independence potential in case of an incident. This study tested an HIV/AIDS education model for speech-impaired people. At Indonesia's School of Disability, a non-randomized control group pre- and post-test design was used. In the study, 60 speech-impaired students were divided into 30 intervention and 30 control groups. Analyses used T-tests. Speech-disabled people's knowledge and attitudes improved with the virtual HIV/AIDS education model (P=0.007). Therefore, the HIV/AIDS education model should be implemented using virtual platforms to improve knowledge and attitudes, especially among speech-disabled teens. Virtual reproductive health education for children with speech disabilities improves knowledge and attitudes more than traditional methods, especially among visually impaired children.
