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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Walls, as components of the lateral-force‐resisting system of a building, are defined as shear walls. Dr. Rudi Dungani and his colleagues determine the behavior of shear wall panel cross-laminated-timber-based mangium wood (CLT-mangium) in earthquake-resistant prefabricated houses. The earthquake performance of CLT mangium frame shear walls panels has been studied using monotonic tests. The shear walls were constructed […]

The sequential labeling model is commonly used for time series or sequence data where each instance label is classified using the previous instance label. In this study, Dr. Adi Pancoro and his colleagues propose a new approach to detect type and index mutation namely join classifier using a sequential labeling model from lung cancer study […]

Cartilage has a low regenerative capacity that makes the treatment of cartilage damage challenging. Stem cell therapy can be the solution to that. Stem cell is known for its advantages in cell-based therapies. Recent studies have attributed the value of stem cells to their paracrine factors via extracellular vesicles (EVs) such as exosomes. Exosomes that […]

The sterilization process using gamma irradiation is a crucial component in a program using sterile insect technique to control Aedes aegypti. Unfortunately, there is no efficient standard protocol for sterilizing mosquitoes that can produce a high level of sterility while maintaining mating ability and longevity. Prof. Tjandra Anggraeni, Prof. Intan Ahmad, and colleagues conducted a […]

As a country known for its high biodiversity, Indonesia has hundreds of bamboo species. One of the most common bamboo species of the Gigantochloa genus is the belangke bamboo (G. pruriens), an endemic species spreading across the Karo and Gayo districts in Indonesia. The characterization of belangke bamboo raw materials is a very important factor […]

Indonesia is one of the biggest bamboos producing countries in Asia. The Characteristics the direction of the fiber end of the bamboo end parallel has good mechanical properties and high elasticity in fiber direction. However, modifications are needed to use bamboo as a substitute for wood, both structural and non-structural. Ihak Sumardi, Ph.D. and his […]

Aquaculture industries would benefit from the cultured organisms conferred with feed supplements for optimal growth and disease resistance. In this study, Prof. Dr. I Nyoman Pugeg Aryantha and colleagues evaluated seven microfungi isolated from rivers or streams in Indonesia for a nutritional profile including protein, lipid, amino acids, fatty acids, and beta-glucan. All isolates had […]
