Nadhifah A, Zakiyyah K, Noviady I. 2017. Diversity of epiphytic moss in genus Cupressus at Cibodas Botanic Gardens, West Java. Pros Sem Nas Masy Biodiv Indon 3: 396-400. Moss serves as a pioneer organism and is a part of biodiversity that has not received much attention. Cibodas Botanic Gardens (CBG) is one of the work units of Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) which is one of duties and functions as an ex situ conservation institution of wetland plant. The diversity of epiphytic moss, especially the member of Cupressus genus, at CBG has not been reported. This study aimed to determine the diversity of epiphytic moss from the genus of Cupressus in CBG and to provide the additional data and information on the diversity of mosses at CBG. The method used in this research was purposive sampling with the location of sampling at Cupressus spp. tree. in vak IIIF. The sampling of moss started from the base of stem to the height of 1.3 meters (dbh). The type of moss identified was then analyzed descriptively and compared with previous epiphytic moss studies, especially on Gymnospermae. The results showed there were 11 species of epiphytic moss of 10 genera and 7 families. The life form of moss found in this study included mats, pendant, fans, short turfs, and dendroid. The most common species of Lejeuneaceae family included Lejeunea mimula Hurl., Lejeunea patersonii (Stephani.) Stephani., Lopholejeunea wiltensii Stephani., and Ptychanthus striatus (Lehm. & Lindenb.) Nees.

Background: The level of diversity has a crucial role in the stability of the ecosystem. The higher the variety, the more stable an ecosystem, including agricultural land cultivated by farmers. Increasing of population affected the higher demanding of community towards their consumption activities. Especially, the natural resources that comes from local area such as Sukamaju District. Biodiversity of resources urgently needed to preserve the ecosystems meanwhile being the potential source to fulfilled nourishment of the people. This study aims to determine the diversity of peatland ecosystems by using a purposive sampling method in every selection of subject groups based on the characteristics or characteristics of a specific population. Methods: Field and Laboratory activities are needed in this research. Sample collection using several methods according to the targeted sample. Most of the sample using purposive sampling but also line intercept transect method. Fish sampling used a fishing gear called a gill net with a mesh size of 2-7 inches. The fish caught is placed in a labeled coolbox. Insect collection was running in the morning at 07.00-11.00 and in the afternoon at 3-5 pm (UTC+09:00). Sampling is held once a month for three months at predetermined coordinate points. Diversity was analyzed using Shannon-Wienner diversity, evenness index, dominance index and intensity on peatlands. Result: The results found seven orders and 30 families, with a total population of 1,231 individuals. The most dominant types of insects are the orders Coleoptera, Hemiptera and Lepidoptera. High diversity index (H'=3.021), high evenness index (E= 0.86243) and low dominance index (D=0.3101). Fish community structure obtained diversity index (H') included in the medium category, for uniformity values in the high class and dominance index values in the low sort. The dominant fish species found were Channa striata, Anabas testudineus, Lates calcalifer, Mugil cephalus, Plotosus papuensis and Toxotes chataerus, while Oreochromis niloticus, Oreochromis mossambicus, Hexanematichthys sagor and Megalops cyprinoides. While the types of molluscs found to have the highest abundance were Pila ampullacea, Pomacea canaliculata and Pilsbryoconcha exilis.

485 land race populations of barley collected from 91 Minimum Package areas spread over 12 provinces of Ethiopia were grown in the field and classified for number of kernel rows, spike length, awn type, spike density, rachilla hair, caryopsis, and kernel color. The different characters showed different levels of diversity by the Shannon-Weaver diversity index. Provinces were grouped into regions to detect possible differences in diversity within and among regions. Much of the variation in diversity is due to differences among characters; and no differences were detected among provinces and regions in the level of diversity, which could be due to insufficient sampling. A high diversity index (H'=0.72) was obtained for the Southwestern Plateau, and this was not significantly different from the value for Ethiopia (H'=0.68). Clinal patterns of variations were observed for some characters and localized concentrations for others. An attempt was made to explain these patterns based on climatic data and selection. Vavilov's theory of the emancipation of recessives was found to be untenable. A center of origin of barley is defined on the Arussi-Bale Highland in accordance with the requirements of the current concept of the center of origin; and the inadequacy of this concept is discussed. Disruptive selection is considered as the most probable cause of the maintenance of the diverse forms of barley in Ethiopia; and further detailed studies of the patterns of variation of barley in Ethiopia are recommended.

Mosses or Bryophytes are a group of cryptogamous plants or lower plants. Moss can be found in various places that have high humidity by attaching to various substrates, such as soil, rocks and tree bark. PPKA Bodogol is a potential area that protects endemic flora and fauna on the island of Java that has excellent humidity and air for moss growth and supports moss diversity. This study aims to determine the diversity of mosses and their relationship to environmental factors in the PPKA Bodogol. Data collection in this study was carried out at the PPKA Bodogol on 3 routes, namely Cikaweni, Rasamala and Kanopi. This research uses a purposive sampling method with a cover square technique. The results showed that the total number of moss species identified were 21 species. Then it was also known that the highest level of diversity was found on the Rasamala route with a diversity index of 3.03. In the Cikaweni route, was in moderate category, namely 1,967. The lowest diversity index, however, was in the canopy path with a medium category, namely 1.216. Environmental factors such as humidity, temperature, light intensity, and altitude also had an influence on the level of moss diversity of the three routes.

Background: The highest risk of childhood death occurs during the neonatal period. Risks of poor outcomes during pregnancy and childbirth are exacerbated by poverty, low status of women, lack of education, poor nutrition, heavy workloads, and violence. This study aimed to examine biological and socio-demographic factors associated with neonatal mortality. Subjects and Method: A case control study was conducted in Karanganyar, Central Java, Indonesia. Study population was infant neonates. A sample of 200 mothers and their neonates, including 50 dead neonates and 150 alive infants was selected by fixed disease sampling. The dependent variable was infant mortality. The independent variables were maternal mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), maternal age, maternal occupation, family income, and number birth delivery. The data were obtained from medical record and questionnaire. The data were analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: The risk of neonatal death increased with mother working outside the house (b= 0.95; 95% CI= 0.10 to 1.80; p= 0.028). The risk of neonatal death decreased with maternal MUAC ≥23.5 cm (b= -1.21; 95% CI= -2.03 to -0.38; p= 0.004), maternal age 20-35 years (b= -1.06; 95% CI= -1.83 to -0.29; p= 0.007), family income ≥Rp 1,833,000 (b= -1.37; 95% CI= -2.20 to -0.54; p= 0.001), and number of birth delivery 2 to 4 (b= -0.67; 95% CI= -1.39 to 0.05; p= 0.067). Conclusion: The risk of neonatal death increases with mother working outside the house. The risk of neonatal death decreases with maternal MUAC ≥23.5 cm, maternal age 20-35 years, high family income, and number of birth delivery 2 to 4.

The aim of this study was to determine the physical and microbiological quality of chicken meat produced by the different type of enterprise slaughterhouse in Karanganyar District. The number of 20 poultry slaughterhouses was determined by convenience sampling method. The samples of chicken meat were randomly collected from medium enterprise poultry slaughterhouses (n=12) and small enterprise poultry slaughterhouses (n=8). A survey was carried out among poultry slaughterhouses in Karanganyar District. All the samples were subjected to physical quality consisted of pH test, texture, and color, while microbiological quality consisted of total plate count, microbial detection of Escherichia coli and Salmonella. The data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative analysis. The study showed that chicken meat in 6 small enterprise slaughterhouses and 11 medium enterprise slaughterhouses had normal pH of 5.81 - 6.3. Color and texture of chicken meats had relatively normal in both small and medium enterprise slaughterhouses. The total plate count of chicken meat showed in both small and medium enterprise slaughterhouses was <1x106 CFU/gr. The test of bacterial contamination showed that 3 of small and medium enterprise slaughterhouses were positively contaminated by Escherichia coli of >1x101 CFU/gr, and Salmonella was detected in 1 medium enterprise slaughterhouse. The overall results of the study suggest that the potential risk of chicken meat contamination depends on the processing of chicken meat in poultry slaughterhouses.

Although previous studies, mostly based on microscopy analyses of a few groups of protists, have suggested that protists are abundant and diverse in litter and moss habitats, the overall diversity of moss and litter associated protists remains elusive. Here, high-throughput environmental sequencing was used to characterize the diversity and community structure of litter- and moss-associated protists along a gradient of soil drainage and forest primary productivity in a temperate rainforest in British Columbia. We identified 3262 distinct protist OTUs from 36 sites. Protists were strongly structured along the landscape gradient, with a significant increase in alpha diversity from the blanket bog ecosystem to the zonal forest ecosystem. Among all investigated environmental variables, calcium content was the most strongly associated with the community composition of protists, but substrate composition, plant cover and other edaphic factors were also significantly correlated with these communities. Furthermore, a detailed phylogenetic analysis of unicellular opisthokonts identified OTUs covering most lineages, including novel OTUs branching with Discicristoidea, the sister group of Fungi, and with Filasterea, one of the closest unicellular relatives to animals. Altogether, this study provides unprecedented insight into the community composition of moss- and litter-associated protists.

Abstract. Setyasih DMD, Putri RAS, Raharjo YAA, Izdihar RS, Kusumaningrum L, Setyawan AD. 2025. Potential aboveground carbon storage in the community forest area of Tawangmangu, Karanganyar District, Indonesia. Asian J For 9: 108-114. Forests are ecologically significant landscapes characterized by tree cover and high biodiversity. They play an important role in carbon sequestration and storage, contributing to climate regulation. Tawangmangu sub-district with its significant portion of forest land holds considerable potential for carbon sequestration. This study aims to assess the carbon storage potential and tree species composition in three villages within the Tawangmangu sub-district—Plumbon, Nglebak, and Sepanjang. Data were collected using a random sampling technique, with 20 plots (20 × 20 m) established at each site. Data such as identification of species and the circumference of each tree were measured. The collected data were analyzed using the Shannon-Wiener diversity index, biomass index, and carbon storage potential. A total of 30 tree species from 18 families were identified across the three villages, with the Fabaceae family being the most dominant. The species diversity index (H') values were 2.147 for Plumbon, 1.278 for Nglebak, and 2.456 for Sepanjang, indicating moderate species diversity and relatively stable ecosystem productivity. Biomass calculations revealed values of 462.81 kg/ha in Plumbon, 807.28 kg/ha in Nglebak, and 145.13 kg/ha in Sepanjang. Corresponding carbon stock estimates were 212,892 kg in Plumbon, 371,348 kg in Nglebak, and 66,759 kg in Sepanjang. The data indicate a positive correlation between biomass and carbon stock values. The variation in carbon storage across sites is likely influenced by species composition and site-specific ecological factors affecting carbon sequestration efficiency.

An observation on Copepoda diversity, abundance, and distribution in two mangrove areas in Jakarta Bay was carried out in May-June and September-October 2011. The objective of this observation was to investigate the relationship between diversity and abundance of copepods with some environmental factors which affected the distribution on dry and rainy seasons.

Strategy for health promotion through appropriate parenting education can be done with the improvement of multi sectoral cooperation.

Intratumoral genetic heterogeneity leads to tumor progression and therapeutic resistance. However, due to the difficulty associated with its assessment, application of intratumoral genetic heterogeneity as a prognostic or predictive marker is limited. We investigated the significance of Shannon diversity index as a tool for measuring genetic heterogeneity by performing fluorescence in situ hybridization of c-Myc gene in invasive breast cancers, and correlated the Shannon diversity index for c-Myc copy number variation with clinicopathologic features of tumor including patient survival. Shannon index for c-Myc copy number variation strongly correlated with average c-Myc copy number and was significantly higher in tumors with c-Myc genetic or regional heterogeneity than in those without c-Myc amplification. High Shannon index was associated with high histologic grade, lymphovascular invasion, p53 overexpression, high Ki-67 proliferation index, hormone receptor negativity, and HER2 amplification. In survival analyses, c-Myc amplification or c-Myc copy number gain was not associated with patient survival. However, a high level of Shannon index was associated with poor disease-free survival. In subgroup analyses, it was found to be an adverse prognostic factor in hormone receptor-positive group, but not in hormone receptor-negative group. In a validation set, high Shannon diversity index for c-Myc copy number variation was also found to be associated with poor survival of the patients. We further investigated the correlation with clinicopathologic features and predictive power of Shannon index using another gene, fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) and observed that high Shannon index for FGFR1 gene copy number variation was an independent prognostic factor for poor clinical outcome in a whole group and in hormone receptor-positive subgroup. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that higher diversity index was associated with adverse pathologic parameters of breast cancer and poor clinical outcome suggesting that Shannon diversity index, which represents intratumoral genetic heterogeneity, can be used as a potential biomarker for tumor progression and prognostication in patients with breast cancer.

Abstract. Ghazali M, Widoretno W, Arumingtyas EL, Retnaningdyah C. 2022. Macroepiphyte biodiversity on Kappaphycus alvarezii surface and its interaction with environment in cultivation centers on Lombok Island, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 6284-6292. The aims of this paper are to investigate the influence of environmental factors on the diversity of macroepiphytes in Kappaphycus alvarezii. Macroepiphyte sampling was carried out at four cultivation centers: Seriwe Bay, Ekas Bay, Gerupuk Bay, and Siwak of Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Several stations were placed at each location, and at each station were used one to three cultivation units with five replications. Environmental data measurements were carried out at the time of sampling. Some parameters were measured: pH, temperature, salinity, current velocity, brightness, DO, BOD, nitrate, phosphate, and TSS. Data analysis was performed using several diversity indices. In addition, a biplot analysis was performed using PCA to analyze the correlation between environmental factors and environmental factors to macroepiphytes. The results showed that the most dominant species was Polysiphonia spaerocharpa, and the second was Ceramium sp1. The highest richness and abundance were found in Ekas Bay. The highest species dominance was in Siwak. The highest diversity index was in Ekas Bay. The correlation between environmental factors showed that hemeroby harmed depth, phosphate, and DO and positively affected BOD and the thallus surface structure. The principal correlation analysis showed that the abundance of macroepiphyte was influenced by BOD, the roughness of host thallus, and the hemeroby index.
