The Morphological Identification of Fungi Causing Cocoa Fruit Rot Disease and Inhibition Test of Bacillus spp. Against the Fungus in Vitro

Cocoa plants in Nagari Bunga Tanjung, West Sumatra Province, are infected with cocoa pod rot disease by the fungal pathogen Phytophthora palmivora and this causes serious problems if not appropriately controlled. Therefore, Bacillus spp testing needs to be undertaken to obtain Bacillus spp that were more capable of inhibiting the growth of the pathogen. The research was conducted at the Plant Disease Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Riau University in February-June 2024. Completely Randomized Design (CRD) were used in this emerimantal study with 5 treatments and 4 replicates so that 20 there were experimental units. The treatments given were: B0 : Without Bacillus spp, B1 : Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, B2: Bacillus cereus, B3: Bacillus pseudomycoides and B4: Bacillus velezensis. Variables observed were the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of Phytophthora palmivora, the diameter of pathogenic colonies after the application of Bacillus spp. and the inhibition of Bacillus spp. bacteria against Phytophthora palmivora. Further testing was done through Duncan's New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) at the 5% level. The results of the research conducted showed that the cause of cocoa fruit rot disease in Nagari Bungo Tanjuang is Phytophthora palmivora based on morphological characteristics. All Bacillus spp. namely: Bacillus cereus, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus pseudomycoides, and Bacillus velezensis were able to inhibit the growth of Phytophthora palmivora fungus in vitro. Bacillus cereus, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus pseudomycoides, and Bacillus velezensis were able to inhibit the growth of Phytophthora palmivora in vitro. Phytophthora palmivora with inhibition power of 38.89%, 40.28%, 43.33%, 77.78%, respectively.

Pathogenesis, Symptoms and Diagnosis, and Prevention of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in Adults

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus, characterized by symptoms such as fever, muscle or joint pain, leukopenia, rash, lymphadenopathy, thrombocytopenia, and hemorrhagic tendencies. In DHF, there is plasma leakage leading to fluid accumulation in body cavities, and in severe cases, it can progress to Dengue Shock Syndrome, characterized by shock. The illness is mainly spread by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, presenting a substantial worldwide health issue. The diagnosis of DHF requires the presence of several criteria: fever or recent history of acute fever lasting 2-7 days, often biphasic; at least one hemorrhagic manifestation such as positive tourniquet test, ecchymosis, mucosal bleeding, hematemesis, or thrombocytopenia; and evidence of plasma leakage. Young adults are particularly susceptible to dengue fever due to their frequent outdoor activities. In Padang City, West Sumatra Province, in 2020, the age group most affected by the disease was adults aged 15 to 44 years.

Problems of Implementing Village Origin Rights in Indonesia

Local democracy in the village is essentially based on these rights of origin and traditional rights. This paper aims to discuss the problems of villages in exercising their rights of origin in Indonesia. To understand how these rights of origin are implemented, this article refers to the practice of Nagari as a customary legal community unit in West Sumatra Province. Not only that, enrichment related to implementing rights of origin also refers to Desa Pakraman in Bali Province. This article uses a literature study derived from documents that have been published from various sources such as articles in scientific journal, mass media news, and official government documents. This article finds that problems in the application of origin and traditional village rights arise because of strict government regulations that encourage village governments to focus on carrying out governance functions in their area. Using the principles of recognition and subsidiarity in the administration of village government results in an attitude of ambiguity in the administration of village government. As a result, the village government prefers to implement the household authority handed over to it accompanied by a budget through Village Fund transfers rather than developing the original rights that have become the identity of pre-existing local democracy.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between regional original income and general allocation funds as well as the spending patterns of regency and municipal administrations in West Sumatra Province from 2018 to 2022. Twenty regencies/cities and West Sumatra Province were selected for the sample using a comprehensive sampling technique within the allotted period. A t-test result of 7.788 and a significance level of 0.000 demonstrate that the General Allocation Fund does, in fact, have an effect on Regional Expenditures. There is a discrepancy between the calculated t-value (7.788) and the t-table value (1.987), which means that the significance value (0.000) is less than 0.05. There is no statistically significant relationship between regional original income and regional expenditures, as shown by the calculated t-test result of 1.389 and a significance value of 0.168. The comparison reveals that the calculated t-value (1.389) is lower than the t-table value (1.987), and that the significance value (0.168) is more than 0.05. However, Regional Expenditures are affected by both the General Allocation Fund and Regional Original Income, as shown by the F-test result of 51.233. This number is much lower than the 0.05 cutoff and higher than the 3.10 F-table value at the 0.000 level of significance.

Pentahelix Stakeholder Synergy in a Public Communication Perspective to Realize Digital Tourism

The tourism industry in Indonesia was the second-largest contributor to foreign exchange earnings, which absorbed approximately 10% (13 million workers) of the total national workforce in 2019. However, COVID-19 led to a drastic decline in tourists visiting Indonesia. The number of tourists in West Sumatra Province decreased by more than 50%, while the city of Padang experienced a decrease of more than 75% for foreign and 50% for domestic tourists. To solve this problem, the Padang City Tourism Office devised an alternative solution using digital platforms. The Padang City Tourism Office launched an application called SIDETA (Tourist Destination Information System), which contains information about tourism in Padang. This research aims to investigate how the collaboration between the Padang City Tourism Office and other helix elements contributes to the realization of digital tourism in Padang City and analyze the obstacles and challenges faced by the Padang City Tourism Office in building synergy with other helix elements. This research uses a qualitative and quantitative research approach. Informants and respondents were selected using purposive sampling.
