Anemia due to iron deficiency in young girls and pregnant women remains a nutritional health problem in Indonesia. They take iron tablet/day to improve their iron status but it sometimes has some side effects. In Sleman Regency, snake fruits Pondoh are used to make various processed foods but some home food industries leave snake fruit seeds as industrial waste. Therefore, the aim of this study was to extract gradually seeds of snake fruits Pondoh for development of anemia iron supplement. In this explorative study, we collected seeds of snake fruits Pondoh from a home food industry in Turi district, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta. In brief, we made simplicia of snake fruit seeds in several steps from washing, selecting, drying, cutting in small pieces, grinding to separating with 100 mesh sieve. After that, the simplicia was extracted using tetrahydrofuran, methanol, acetic acid, hexane and or ethyl acetate reagents to separate lipid, water and organic fractions, which were then dried using a vacuum evaporator. Dried fractions of snake fruit seeds (SFS) were finally measured using the inductively coupled plasma or atomic absorption spectroscopy method for iron levels and using ferric chloride for tannin content. From two different methods of making simplicial, we got 26.88 and 22.82% (weigh/weight) iron levels while ethyl acetate SFS fraction had higher iron levels (2.65% w/v) than lipid and water fractions (1.62 and 1.88% respectively). In addition, there was only the water fraction that contained tannin. In conclusion, the ethyl acetate fraction of SFS Pondoh may be useful for development of anemia iron supplement.

Anemia is a global nutritional problem in developing countries. Oral iron supplementation is recommended for anemia treatment in pregnant woman, and adolescent girl. However, this supplementation frequently has some side effects. In a previous study, snake fruit seeds naturally contain high level of iron, which is potentially used for alternative anemia supplementation. This study aimed to investigate the effect of snake fruit seed extract (SSE) on body weight (BW) in female rat model with anemia. The study was a pre-posttests control group design, 14 female rats strain Wistar were selected based on inclusion criteria. After 10 days modelling of anemia, all rats were randomly divided to 2 groups: control and treatment groups. For the remaining days, all rats received low iron feed, but added 1.75 g/kg BW/day SSE in the T group 14 days treatment. Body weight was measured before and after treatment, and all data were analyzed using independent and paired T-tests with p<0.05. Before treatment, the average of BW in the C group is lower than T group (p=0.005). After treatment, the average of BW in T and C groups were statistically differed from BW before treatment (p<0.001). In addition, a greater number of BW was found in the T group, compared with the C group (p<0.001). The administration of 0.175 g/100 g BW/day SSE can increase BW in female rats model with anemia.

: Learning interest deserves attention by teachers, schools and societies. Digital literacy should be the solution. The pandemic Covid-19 has caused downgrading student learning interest. The research objective was to analyse the correlation between digital literacy and student learning interest. This research found that the more variety of digital literacy activities the higher students’ learning interest. Digital literacy platforms allow students to access and apply technology in obtaining, using, and sharing data dan information for learning. Quantitative data were collected from 298 students in Surakarta. Findings showed that rxy.678 meaning that the correlation between digital literacy(X) and learning interest(Y) is positively significant. Moreover we found that the rxy.632 for the classroom digital literacy (X1), rxy.609 for the school digital literacy (X2), and rxy.532 for social digital literacy (X3), all findings show positive contribution to learning interest. Thus, teachers, parents, and society can improve learning interest. We recommend that digital literacy should work in class, schools and community. Keywords: Digital literacy, student learning interest, pandemic Covid-19.   Abstrak : Minat belajar patut mendapat perhatian guru, sekolah dan masyarakat. Literasi digital harus menjadi solusi. Pandemi Covid-19 menyebabkan menurunnya minat belajar siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan literasi digital dengan minat belajar siswa. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa semakin beragam kegiatan literasi digital semakin tinggi minat belajar siswa. Platform literasi digital memungkinkan siswa untuk mengakses dan menerapkan teknologi dalam memperoleh, menggunakan, dan berbagi data dan informasi untuk pembelajaran. Data kuantitatif dikumpulkan dari 298 siswa di Surakarta. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rxy.678 yang berarti korelasi antara literasi digital (X) dan minat belajar (Y) signifikan secara positif. Selain itu kami menemukan bahwa rxy.632 untuk literasi digital kelas (X1), rxy.609 untuk literasi digital sekolah (X2), dan rxy.532 untuk literasi digital sosial (X3), semua temuan menunjukkan kontribusi positif terhadap minat belajar. Dengan demikian, guru, orang tua, dan masyarakat dapat meningkatkan minat belajar. Kami merekomendasikan bahwa literasi digital harus bekerja di kelas, sekolah dan masyarakat.
