Performance Evaluation of IoT-Based Service System for Monitoring Nutritional Deficiencies in Plants

Performance Evaluation of IoT-Based Service System for Monitoring Nutritional Deficiencies in Plants

This study by Ahmad Faizal and his colleagues aimed to develop and evaluate the performance of a service system platform based on the Internet of Things (IoT) for monitoring nutritional deficiencies in plants and providing fertilizer recommendations. We have successfully developed and integrated a service system platform and chlorophyll meter that is based on IoT. […]

Traditional Egg-Harvesting Policies for the Endemic Moluccan Scrubfowl Eulipoa Wallacei on Haruku Island, Indonesia, and its Conservation Implications

Traditional Egg-Harvesting Policies for the Endemic Moluccan Scrubfowl Eulipoa Wallacei on Haruku Island, Indonesia, and its Conservation Implications

Traditional policies on using wild species are critical in developing scenarios for community engagement in conserving wild species populations. As such, Prof. Tati S. Syamsudin and her colleagues examine the traditional practice of harvesting eggs from Moluccan Scrubfowl Eulipoa wallacei on Haruku Island, Indonesia, and its implications for bird population conservation. Using a closed-ended questionnaire, […]

Cell-Free Fetal DNA as a Non-Invasive Method Using Pyrosequencing in Detecting Beta-Globin Gene Mutation

Cell-Free Fetal DNA as a Non-Invasive Method Using Pyrosequencing in Detecting Beta-Globin Gene Mutation

Thalassemia is a monogenic, autosomal recessive, inherited disorder of the red blood cells caused by mutations or deletions in the globin gene. Approximately 6-10% of the Indonesian population carries the β-globin gene mutation; however, premarital screening is rarely conducted, and antenatal screening is optional. Azzania Fibriani, M.Si., Ph.D and her colleagues explored the use of […]

Potential Cell-Based and Cell-Free Therapy for Patients with COVID-19

Potential Cell-Based and Cell-Free Therapy for Patients with COVID-19

COVID-19 remains an unresolved puzzle for biomedical researchers in different fields. Various treatments, drugs, and interventions were explored as treatments for COVID. Nevertheless, there are no standard and effective therapeutic measures. Meanwhile, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy offers a new approach with minimal side effects. MSCs and MSC-based products possess several biological properties that potentially […]

Marine Microbial-Derived Resource Exploration : Uncovering the Hidden Potential of Marine Carotenoids

Marine Microbial-Derived Resource Exploration : Uncovering the Hidden Potential of Marine Carotenoids

Microbes in marine ecosystems are known to produce secondary metabolites. One of which are carotenoids, which have numerous industrial applications, hence their demand will continue to grow. Prof. Dr. Fenny Martha Dwivany and her colleagues review the recent research on natural carotenoids produced by marine microorganisms. They discuss the most recent screening approaches for discovering […]

Effects of Dietary Supplementation with Tropical Microfungi Mucor Circinelloides and Trichoderma Harzianum Powder on Growth Performance, Bacterial Communities, and The Biomass Nutritional Profile of White Shrimp Grow-Out Culture (Litopenaeus Vannamei)

Effects of Dietary Supplementation with Tropical Microfungi Mucor Circinelloides and Trichoderma Harzianum Powder on Growth Performance, Bacterial Communities, and The Biomass Nutritional Profile of White Shrimp Grow-Out Culture (Litopenaeus Vannamei)

Microfungi have been explored further as supplement constituents in shrimp culture due to their nutrient richness. Dr. Magdalena L. Situmorang and her colleagues have evaluated the effects of Mucor circinelloides and Trichoderma harzianum as feed supplements on growth performance, bacterial communities, and the biomass nutritional profile of white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). The results showed that […]

Effect of Various Depths  of Pupation on Adult Emergence of Interspecific Hybrid of Bactrocera Carambolae and Bactrocera Dorsalis

Effect of Various Depths of Pupation on Adult Emergence of Interspecific Hybrid of Bactrocera Carambolae and Bactrocera Dorsalis

Prof. Dr. Agus Dana Permana and his colleagues evaluated the effect of soil depth on survival, normality dan development time of adult interspecific hybrids of Bactrocera carambolae and B. dorsalis. Soil depth had a significant, negative effect on the survival of the emergence and development time of B. dorsalis and B. carambolae hybrids. The emergence […]

Insecticide Resistance Profiles and Synergism of Field Aedes aegypti from Indonesia

Insecticide Resistance Profiles and Synergism of Field Aedes aegypti from Indonesia

Information on the insecticide resistance profiles of Aedes aegypti in Indonesia is fragmentary because of the lack of wide-area insecticide resistance surveillance. Prof. Intan Ahmad, Ph.D. and his colleagues collected Ae. aegypti from 27 Indonesian provinces and used WHO bioassays to evaluate their resistance to deltamethrin, permethrin, bendiocarb, and pirimiphos-methyl. The Ae. aegypti from all […]

Integrated Studies of Banana on Remote Sensing, Biogeography, and Biodiversity : An Indonesian Perspective

Integrated Studies of Banana on Remote Sensing, Biogeography, and Biodiversity : An Indonesian Perspective

The study of banana herbs and fruits is rarely conducted using multidisciplinary approaches. However, a multidisciplinary approach could be useful for gaining information on many aspects, including remote sensing, biodiversity and biogeography, owing to the uniqueness of bananas. Prof. Dr. Fenny Martha Dwivany and her colleagues review a study on banana herbs from an Indonesian […]

The Visualization of Low-Molecule Phenol (LMP) and Copper Naphthenate on Treated Wood Using X-Ray Microtomography

The Visualization of Low-Molecule Phenol (LMP) and Copper Naphthenate on Treated Wood Using X-Ray Microtomography

Non-destructive X-ray microtomography is a promising visualization method for reviewing the distribution of low-molecule phenol (LMP) along with copper naphthenate in plywood. Eka Mulya Alamsyah Ph.D. and his colleagues aimed to determine the applicability of X-ray microtomography for observing the distribution of LMP and Cu in two-and three-dimensional visualizations. The distribution mechanisms of these materials […]
