The study involved culturing bacterial on various media, including NA (Nutrient Agar), MHA (Mueller Hinton Agar), TSA (Triptic Soy Agar), TYS20B (Trypticase Soy-Yeast 20% Sukrose with Bacitracin), and performing gram staining under a microscope. Results: NA media: out of 16 samples cultured, 8 were not covered by bacteria, while the other 8 were. MHA media: all samples were overgrown with bacteria, but each 8 had different characteristics. 9 samples of TYS20B medium were overgrown with bacteria, while the other seven did not show signs of bacterial overgrowth. On TSA media, 5 samples were not overgrown with bacteria, 9 samples were overgrown with bacteria exhibiting solid, yellowish white, and not slimy, and the other 2 samples contained bacteria that were soft, yellowish white, and slimy. Conclusion: Bacillus sp., Diphtheroid basil sp., and Streptococcus mutans were found grown on the agar media. In general, MHA media is the most effective general growth medium, while TYS20B media is the best media for Streptococcus mutans growth.

Application of artificial intelligence technology in monitoring students' health: Preliminary results of Syiah Kuala Integrated Medical Monitoring (SKIMM).

Health promoting university is a holistic approach to health that uses higher education settings to create a learning environment that improves the health and well-being of the campus community in a sustainable manner. The utilization of technology such as artificial intelligence (AI) could be one of the main success factors in the implementation of health-promoting universities to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of all stages of activities carried out in health promotion and prevention efforts. Integrated monitoring with the utilization of AI in this program is conducted to evaluate the health status of the students. The Syiah Kuala Integrated Medical Monitoring (SKIMM) has three components of continuous health status evaluation: vital signs, nutritional status, and burnout status. Health status monitoring was conducted continuously for three months among medical students at the Faculty of Medicine Universitas Syiah Kuala, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. This system uses the WhatsApp application as a platform to monitor health status. Student health monitoring in this program consists of two main activities: the health measurement phase and the health monitoring phase. The use of the SKIMM system to monitor students' vital signs, nutritional status and burnout status through the use of AI significantly raises students' awareness to conduct timely self-examination and enables sustainable healthy lifestyle behavior change. The adoption of AI technology allows for continuous health promotion to the entire academic community, including students in implementing the health promoting university.

Deindividuation Tendency: Conflict Management among College Students

The phenomenon of demonstrations and conflicts between student groups that occur often ends in riots. In this situation, it is suspected that many individuals in their psychological state experience deindividuation. Deindividuation tendency is the loss of individual self-identity because it has merged into the group which results in a lack of self-awareness and self-control in individuals so that sometimes it can result in the individual behaving deviantly from social norms. This study aims to describe the description of deindividuation tendency in students at Syiah Kuala University and to describe how conflict management can be done in students. This study uses mixed method with explanatory sequential design. The population in this study were undergraduate students in the even semester of the 2022/2023 academic year from 5 faculties at Universitas Syiah Kuala. The sample was taken with simple random sampling technique with the Slovin formula as many as 390 students. Data collection on quantitative methods uses a deindividuation scale which is arranged based on 3 aspects, namely Group Immersion, Anonymity and Reduced Identifiabilty. Data collection in qualitative methods use interview guidelines were prepared based on the three dimensions of democratic conflict governance. The results showed that most of the deindividuation in Syiah Kuala University students were classified in the moderate category, namely 197 (51%) students. Deindividuation in this moderate category means that students tend to experience deindividuation in certain situations such as when facing conflicts between groups and carrying out demonstrations.

The effect of banana peel flour (Musa paradisiaca) as additional feed raw materials for common carp (Cyprinus carpio)

Banana peel flour has a high nutritional content and can be used as a raw material for fish feed. The study was to find out the effect of banana peel flour as a raw material for feed on enhancing common carp fish growth. The study was conducted from February to April 2023 at the Fish Hatchery and Breeding Laboratory, Faculty of Marine and Fisheries, Universitas Syiah Kuala. The experimental group used a CRD with 5 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments included T0 (0%), T1 (2.5%), T2 (5%), T3 (7.5%), and T4 (10%) doses of additional Kepok banana peel flour. The sample fish used were an average weight of 1.64 ± 0.24 g fish.-1, which was cultured for 40 days. The parameters observed included survival, growth rate, and feed conversion ratio. The results revealed that adding Kepok banana peel flour as a raw material for common carp feed had a significant influence on absolute weight growth, specific growth rate, and feed conversion ratio (P&lt;0.05), but had no effect on survival (P&gt;0,5). The optimal percentage obtained was the addition of 7.5% banana peel flour in the feed formulation (T3) which was able to produce 1.73 ± 0.12% day-1 SGR. Hence, the addition of Kepok banana peel flour as a feed raw material is quite effective in supporting the growth of common carp.

Microplastic characteristics in several land covers in Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar

Plastic is one of the materials that is often used by people who are difficult to decompose. The decomposed plastic will become several parts which are termed macro plastic and micro plastic. Plastic will accumulate in soil and water can release chemicals that will endanger plant health. The purpose of this paper is to identify the accumulation of microplastics in several land covers. The research started with sampling on land cover at Mini Sport center Universitas Syiah Kuala (Gelanggang Park), Experimental Farm of Faculty of Agriculture, Urban Forest, Community Park (Tahura), and Edge of cross road (sibreh). Each replicate was sampled amount to 30 top soil samples (0-5 cm) and 30 subsoil samples (5-20 cm). Total soil samples per location point were 6 samples. The stages carried out were starting from drying the sample, separating the sediment, removing the organic material, separating the solid and identifying microplastic. Results found that the most dominant type of microplastics found at each sample point is the Fragment type of microplastics with 164 particles. Then fiber type microplastics with a particle count of 103 particles. While the least found is the type of microplastic film with a particle count of 92 particles. At Gelanggang Park, we found a high abundance of Film species and a moderate abundance of Fiber species. The Urban Forest had a low abundance of all particle types. The most common colour appearing in the data are Brown and Grey, with a total of 210 and 73 respectively. The colours dominate compared to other colour across locations and layers, there are differences in the number of colours between the Lower and Upper layers at each site.
