The endophytic fungi isolated from soursop leaf has the potential to be used as a source of anticancer agents.

Belimbing wuluh merupakan tanaman jenis buah dan obat tradisional. Tanaman belimbing wuluh sudah sering dimanfaatkan masyarakat salah satunya untuk mengobati penyakit seperti batuk dan radang rektum. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menguji senyawa fitokimia, menganalisis kandungan total fenolik dan flavonoid, serta aktivitas antioksidan dan antiinflamasi secara in vitro pada ekstrak etanol daun belimbing wuluh. Metode yang dilakukan pada penelitian ini adalah ekstraksi daun belimbing wuluh, skrining fitokimia, perhitungan total fenol dan flavonoid, uji aktivitas antioksidan, dan uji aktivitas antiinflamasi. Senyawa fitokimia yang terkandung pada ekstrak etanol daun belimbing wuluh adalah saponin, tanin, steroid, flavonoid, dan alkaloid. Kandungan total fenolik dan flavonoid ekstrak etanol daun belimbing wuluh secara berturut-turut sebesar 39,03 dan 97,28 µg QE/mg. Ekstrak etanol daun belimbing wuluh memiliki aktivitas antioksidan yang tergolong sangat kuat, sementara aktivitas antiinflamasinya terutama ditunjukkan pada konsentrasi ekstrak 200 µg/ ml, memiliki nilai persen inhibisi hemolisis yang paling tinggi. Kesimpulannya, ekstrak etanol daun belimbing wuluh dapat menjadi salah satu sumber antioksidan dan antiinflamasi alami.Ethanol Extracts of Averrhoa Bilimbi Leaf Demonstrated Antioxidative and Anti-inflammatory ActivityAbstractAverrhoa bilimbi, a fruit-bearing plant, has been traditionally used for medicinal purposes such as treatment of cough and rectal inflammation. In this current work, ethanol extract of Averrhoa bilimbi leaf was analyzed, with regard to phytochemical composition, i.e. total phenolic, and flavonoid, antioxidant activity, and in vitro antiinflammation activity. Extraction of carambola leaves, phytochemical screening, total phenolic and flavonoid contens, assay of antioxidant activity, and assay of anti-inflammatory activity were done in this research. As a result, the leaf extract positively contained some phytochemical compounds, i.e. saponin, tannin, steroid, flavonoid, and alkaloid. Furthermore, total phenolic and flavonoid of the leaf extract was found at 39.03 and 97.28 µg QE/mg extract, respectively. Additionally, antioxidant activity of the leaf extract was classified as very strong, while its anti-inflammatory feature at extract concentration of 200 µg/ml exhibited the highest inhibition of hemolysis. In summary, the ability of Averrhoa bilimbi leaf ethanol extracts to act as antioxidative and anti-inflammatory agents was determined and this may open the use for natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents.

This study aimed to analyze about the meaning Muqridh and Qardhul Hasan implementation on Islamic Banking in Indonesia. The paradigm used in this study is interpretive paradigm with a phenomenological approach. The methods of data collection are in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, while the analysis taken is Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) and Syar'i Analysis. Interpretative Phenomenology Analysis (IPA) result shows that according to the understanding Muqridh, Qardhul Hasan has diverse meanings, namely Qardhul Hasan defined as loans and also interpreted as charitable. It is stated in the financing of implementation Qardhul Hasan is done in two ways: Productive Loan and Social Fund. Furthermore, according to the data presented in the Financial Statements of Islamic Banking, Qardhul Hasan funding comes from three sources, namely Non-Halal Funds, Fines, and Infaq Sadaqah. It is not accordance with Islamic law because the mix of funds derived from activities that are kosher and non-kosher (Makruh even the possibility haram). To the solution offered is to change the paradigm by providing a correct understanding of the financing Qardhul Hasan is as charitable, and merge the Non-Halal Funds and Penalties as Corporate Social Responsibili (CSR) Funds. Suggestion of this research is mainly proposed for (1) more Islamic banks to develop financing models Qardhul Hasan are more varied, and (2) for subsequent researchers in order to develop research related to Hasan Qardhul contribution to alleviate poverty in Indonesia.Qardhul Hasan merupakan salah satu ciri pembeda antara bank syariah dengan bank konvensional yang di dalamnya terkandung misi sosial, di sam-ping misi komersial. Misi sosial kemasyarakatan ini diharapkan akan meningkatkan citra dan loyalitas masyarakat terhadap bank syariah (Antonio,
