Annona muricata Linn. (soursop) is one of tropical plants which have relatively complete chemical compounds. It has flavonoid, tannin, phytosterol, alkaloid, etc. The high antioxidant compound in soursop is believed as cancer prevention so the cancer threat in the world can be minimized. The antioxidant compound in soursop can be found not only in its fruit, but also in other parts like leaves, seeds, etc. Based on that potency, this study aimed to compare antioxidant capacity of soursop leaves and seeds, also to study about the utilization of soursop parts which is usually not used. This research began with maceration to extract leaves and seeds with 96% ethanol. Ethanolic extract of soursop leaves and seeds were then tested for antioxidant capacity with DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method. The result showed that antioxidant capacity of soursop leaves and seeds are 85,66875% and 39,0166, respectively. The antioxidant capacity of leaves is higher than seeds due to seed's extraction difficulty so its antioxidant compound could not be extracted optimally. However, either leaves or seeds extract in this study are potential as antioxidant resources because there are no significant differences between antioxidant capacity of both extract.

Lubang Resapan Biopori (LRB)

Aedes albopictus dilaporkan memiliki potensi yang besar untuk menyebarkan virus dengue penyebab DBD di Indonesia. Habitat yang beragam di area terbuka serta area distribusi yang luas menjadikan jenis ini cenderung sulit dikendalikan, padahal pengendalian jumlah populasi nyamuk vektor menjadi salah satu tindakan preventif terbaik untuk mencegah meluasnya penyebaran virus dengue. Pengendalian vektor dilakukan dengan memutus siklus hidupnya pada fase larva dengan larvasida sehingga jumlah populasi dapat terkendali, namun, penggunaan larvasida masih didominasi oleh produk dengan bahan dasar senyawa kimia yang dapat menimbulkan resistensi pada vektor target, mencemari lingkungan, dan memiliki resiko toksik terhadap organisme non-target, seperti manusia dan hewan lainnya. Berdasarkan fakta tersebut, studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis potensi senyawa bioaktif pada sirsak (Annona muricata) untuk dikembangkan sebagai larvasida alami pengendali jumlah populasi Ae. Albopictus. Ekstrak A. muricata telah banyak diteliti dan terbukti memiliki kandungan senyawa bioaktif seperti acetogenin, alkaloid, dan flavonoid yang bersifat toksik bagi serangga. Banyak penelitian telah membuktikan bahwa ekstrak senyawa bioaktif dari A. muricata efektif sebagai larvasida untuk serangga famili Culicidae, termasuk Ae. aegypti dan Culex quinquefasciatus. Lebih baiknya jika ada data kuantitatif bukti efektif. Hasil tersebut menunjukkan adanya potensi ekstrak A. muricata juga bersifat toksik bagi anggota Culicidae yang lain, yaitu Ae. albopictus.

The quality improvement of the university becomes one of the considerations in choosing the study program. Therefore, higher education branding is essential to maintain its existence in society.   As a part of the Teacher Preparation Program in Central Java, FPMIPATI UPGRIS needs a branding effort to increase its existence in the community so that it can increase the interest of prospective new students to choose it as a destination for undergraduate education. This study aims to determine public perceptions about the profile of FPMIPATI UPGRIS. The method used in this study is a cross-sectional quantitative survey method. The results showed that the profile of each Study Program at FPMIPATI consists of (1) excellent curriculum and competencies, (2) partnerships that exist in the study program, (3) Facilities, (4) programs to facilitate students to obtain funding other than scholarships, (4) profiles of graduates from each Study Program, able to be an attraction for the public, especially prospective new students.
