The objective of the study was to determine the species diversity of mangrove plants and their use as herbal medicine on the coast of Lampung Timur, Sumatra, Indonesia. Mangrove plant diversity was obtained through vegetation analysis and diversity index calculation. The use of mangroves as medicine was obtained through interviews and descriptive comparative analysis. The study revealed that the mangrove forest located on Lampung Timur Coastal comprises 22 species from 12 families. Out of these 22 species, 12 are true mangroves, and the remaining 10 are mangrove associates. Among the 12 true mangroves, the majority (10 species) are major mangroves, while the other two are minor. The diversity index of the Lampung Timur mangrove forest is categorized as moderate (H'= 1.9580). The use of mangrove plants as herbal medicine persists in the Lampung Timur Coastal community. Among the users of mangrove herbal medicine, the majority (55.71%) are from the older generation. Additionally, 64% of users are male, 57.37% are categorized as low-income, and 60.12% identify as Javanese based on ethnicity. The community uses various plant species for medicinal purposes. Avicennia marina is used as an antiseptic, anti-histamine, and source of vitamins. Acanthus ilicifolius is used as an anti-rheumatism and muscle ache medicine/analgesic. Rhizophora apiculata is used as an antipyretic, R. mucronata is used to increase stamina/vitality, and Soneratia caseolaris is used as an anti-cholesterol and anti-oxidant.","PeriodicalId":264018,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multidisciplinary Applied Natural Science","volume":"55 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141688623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The year 2019 ranked among the top three warmest years since the mid-1800s. This paper aims to comprehensively analyze the El Niño period and the worsening climate trends observed in Mindanao, Philippines, during that year. The application of spatial analysis techniques revealed the existence of poverty hotspots characterized by below-average precipitation and enduring episodes of dangerous levels of heat index. The study documented instances of crop destruction and farmers' resulting problems. The application of multivariate clustering analysis revealed a significant association between urbanization and elevated mortality rates in climate-sensitive diseases. This finding suggests that the degree of urbanization has an apparent impact on regional mortality rates, ranging from modest to substantial increases. The findings underscore the necessity of implementing early warning systems and developing and implementing mitigation and adaptation methods. This is particularly crucial in sectors susceptible to adverse effects, such as agriculture and healthcare, where the immediate consequences are already observable.","PeriodicalId":264018,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multidisciplinary Applied Natural Science","volume":"12 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141124037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hypothesis testing was also carried out to statistically compare the mean values obtained for each participating CT facility. In the case of head scan, the typical values proposed in the present study in terms of CTDIvol and DLP were 15–48% and 28–60% lower than the DRL values reported in the literature, respectively. In the case of lumbar spine, the typical value determined in this study in terms of DLP was 48–70% greater than the DRL values provided in the literature. The typical values proposed for chest, abdomen-pelvis and chest-abdomen-pelvis were within the DRL values reported in the literature.

The methods used in this research included fermentation of Etawa goat milk with 10 % kefir seeds at 37 °C and a fermentation time of 2 days. Antioxidant activity was tested using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and antibacterial activity was tested using agar diffusion. The peptide molecular weights in kefir were analyzed using SDS-PAGE. The results showed that the antibacterial and antioxidant activities in Etawa goat's milk curd kefir has a higher activity than whey kefir. The antioxidant activity of curd has an IC50 of 43.99 ppm, which is a powerful antioxidant. Curd's antibacterial activity forms a clear zone of 7 mm against Bacillus cereus and is included in the solid antibacterial category. In Escherichia coli, a clear zone of 6 mm was formed and included in the moderate antibacterial category.
