<p><em>This research conducted to see how the prospects for electronic money in Indonesia, considering the launch of new electronic money launched this year through the LinkAja application. This application has received a fatwa from the National Sharia Council of the Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI) to be a strong source of law for application in Indonesian society. The emergence of LinkAja electronic money is one of the policies of all stakeholders because the potential of sharia-based electronic money is quite large, apart from Indonesia having the world's largest Muslim population. The method that the author made is a qualitative method besides reading several journals and reading material about Islamic electronic money. The prospect of newly launched electronic money certainly has several challenges and opportunities that can be used as lessons for relevant stakeholders. Apart from the competition with the same applications as conventional-based electronic money, Indonesians are still used to conventional-based electronic money there is when compared to sharia-based systems. Complete support from the government is needed to make this electronic money develop well, apart from being protected by applicable laws and regulations. Promotion and marketing of all LinkAja management are also necessary to expand the reach not only in cities but also in villages.</em></p>

Indonesia has a very high biodiversity, as well as ferns (Pteridophyta).Selo climbing lane at Merbabu Montain Nasional Park selected as the study site because of the many ferns that were founded in this area.The purpose of this study was to analyze the diversity of ferns species.in tropical rain forest ecosystem of high mountains and subalpine forests ecosystem on Selo climbing lane at Merbabu Mount National Park. There are many human activity in Selo climbing lanesupposed to influence the existing plants. This research was held on August-December 2016. The method usedinventory inSelo climbing lane and Plot, then analyzed using diversity index. The results found 33 species of ferns from 15 families. The diversity of ferns in the tropical rain forest ecosystem of high mountains fall into the medium category except at post II (2412 masl) has low diversity. Diversity in the sub-alpine forest ecosystem can not be calculated.Key word: diversity, fern, Selo climbing lane. AbstrakKeanekaragaman jenis tumbuhan paku di Indonesia tinggi. Jalur pendakian Selo kawasan Taman Nasional Gunung Merbabu dipilih sebagai lokasi penelitian karena banyaknya tumbuhan paku yang dijumpai pada area tersebut. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis keanekaragaman tumbuhan pakuyang ada di ekosistem hutan hujan tropika pegunungan tinggi dan ekosistem hutan sub alpinpada jalur Selo kawasan T N Gnung Merbabu.Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Agustus-Desember 2016. Metode yang digunakan yaitu Inventarisasi disepanjang jalur Selo dan Plot, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan Indeks keanekaragaman (H'). Hasilnya ditemukan 33 jenis tumbuhan paku dari 15 famili. Keanekaragaman jenis tumbuhan paku pada ekosistem hutan hujan tropika pegunungan tinggi masuk dalam kategori sedang kecuali pada pos II (2412 m dpl) keanekaragamannya rendah. Keanekaragaman pada ekosistem hutan sub alpin adalah 0.Kata kunci: keanekaragaman, Pteridophyta, Jalur Selo,

Recent studies show 60.3% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonoses and 71.8% of these number are obtained from wild animals in in-situ habitat. Therefore, high animal diversity in Indonesia is also followed by animal-borne diseases, both zoonoses or not. One of the in-situ habitats of wildlife that needs attention is the biosphere reserves. Here we conducted a research to analyze the health status of Maxomys bartelsii (Jentink, 1910) rats from biosphere reserve in Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park. Rats were chosen because they are very potential for zoonoses transmission to human, such as leptospirosis, bubonic plague, and hantavirus. Peripheral blood samples were taken from 5 adult rats that were captured using live traps. Morphological evaluation of blood cells was carried out under a microscope at 1000x magnification. Our results show several erythrocyte abnormalities (hypochromasia, anisocytosis, and acanthocyte) and leukocyte abnormalities (neutrophilia, eosinophilia, and leukocytopenia) are observed in all individuals. These results indicate that most of rats suffered several pathological conditions that need to be explored.
