Black rice has been known for its many beneficial effects to our body because it contains several chemical compounds that act as antiinflammatory agents. This study aims to compare the antiinflammatory activity of ethanol extract and aqueous extract of black rice. Anti-inflammatory activity test was performed in vitro on splenocytes of diabetes mellitus mice model as the control of inflammation. Cells were cultured in Roswell Park Memorial Institute medium with 10% fetal bovine serum, anti-CD3 and lipopolysaccharide and black rice extract 50, 100 and 200 µg/mL. In day 3, cells were harvested, stained and analyzed by flow cytometry. The result shows that the ethanol extract and aqueous extract of black rice have anti-inflammatory activity. 50 µg/mL black rice aqueous extract has the most extensive antiinflammatory activity indicated by increased T reg cells, decreased nuclear factor kappa B activity on CD4 + , CD8 + T cells, decreased production of TNF-α by CD4 + T cells, decreased production of IL-6 and IFN-γ by macrophages.
Every week, Indonesia discards approximately 10 million pieces of bread, cakes, and cookies, equating to 292,000 tons of CO2 emissions similar to Indonesia’s annual CO2 emissions. Due to a lack of resources and infrastructure, most impoverished countries rely on antiquated technologies such as anaerobic digestion (AD) to handle food waste. Bakery trash is a biologically formed organic waste that poses a serious threat to public health and the environment, including natural ecosystem contamination. The goal of this study is to find out how much effort Indonesians put into garbage management. How do they spread the word about leftovers through the media? How do they know about waste, particularly bread waste? As well as community-wide corrective steps to protect the environment from domestic food waste management. This study employs a quantitative approach. In order to send 100 questionnaires to persons in Indonesia, purposive sampling was used. Surveys are carried out using Google forms, which require a valid Google email address in order to ensure that each person only takes the survey once. The study’s conclusion is that food waste management efforts among Indonesians are hampered by the public’s lack of understanding of food waste management and disposal information in the media. The research sample understands the process of recycling food into pet food when it becomes garbage, according to their perceptions about the end process of food. In terms of food waste awareness, the majority of the participants in this study were aware that food waste is disposed of in landfills rather than being recycled.
Boraks telah digunakan sebagai bahan tambahan pada beberapa produk makanan. Makanan mengandung boraks tersebut dapat dengan mudah ditemukan di pasar-pasar tradisional maupun swalayan-swalayan. Boraks yang dikonsumsi dalam jangka panjang memiliki efek yang sangat berbahaya terhadap kesehatan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mencari alternatif analisis boraks secara kualitatif yang lebih mudah, murah dan cepat yaitu menggunakan kertas kunyit. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimental laboratorium dan metode survey. Hasil penilitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kertas kunyit dapat digunakan untuk analisis boraks secara kualitatif. Hal ini terbukti dengan hasil pengamatan yang dilakukan pada 12 sampel kerupuk yang beredar di Pasar Tradisional Semolowaru Surabaya. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan bahwa semua sampel, positif mengandung boraks. Begitu juga dengan hasil analisis boraks secara kuantitatif menggunakan spektrometer UV-vis. Kandungan Boraks pada sampel berkisar antara 11,80-119,90 ppm dengan nilai terendah pada kerupuk "Uyel" yaitu 11,80 ppm dan kandungan boraks tertinggi pada kerupuk "Puli Galar" yaitu 119,90 ppm.
The purpose of this activity is to motivate, improve the understanding of the community or community towards disaster risk (understanding to disaster risk); increase the capacity of the community or community in dealing with disasters, especially in the event of a disaster (emergency response); increase the involvement of women in disaster management programs and activities at the local level; and contributes to the strengthening and / or development of a Disaster Resilient Village (DesTaNa) in a disaster-prone area in the Waru District of Sidoarjo Regency, which is a "subscribed" area for flooding. Dasa Wisma is trained in how to make and install biopores. The results of this activity can reduce standing water that occurs during the rainy season so that the community can be free from flooding.Keywords: Dasa Wisa; DesTaNa; Biopori, Bungurasih
