The main problem examined in this study concerns the breeding of local red peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) to use standard multigamma irradiation methods to obtain superior variety that can be adapted to drought conditions, pests-diseases, extreme climate, and high production. The research objective was to develop local red peanut variety to use multigamma irradiation and careful selection for obtaining superior variety that can be adapted to drought conditions, pests-diseases, extreme climate, and high production. Research methods include multigamma irradiation, observation, sampling, carefully selection, comparative, and interpretation. The results of the study are as follows: The development of local red peanut variety through breeding to use multigamma irradiation and careful selection resulted in superior variety that could adapt to drought conditions, pests-diseases, extreme climate, and increased production significantly. The range of production of selected superior variety resulting from multigamma irradiation was (3.68-4.10) t ha-1 with an average production of 3.92 t ha-1. The percentage increase in the production of selected superior variety was 49.23% with an average water content of dry seeds of 11.3%.

Background: Dysmenorrhea is a menstrual cramp that in general occurs in adolescents. In Indonesia the figure of dysmenorrhea is estimated at 64.25%. Students who experience dysmenorrhea will greatly disrupt learning activities and absence on campus. Lavender and jasmine aromatherapy has benefits for reducing dysmenorrhea because it contains linanool. One of the methods to decrease the dysmenorrhea is namely lavender aromatherapy and jasmine aromatherapy. The purpose of this study was to determine differences of the effectiveness of lavender aromatherapy and jasmine aromatherapy towards the intensity of dysmenorrhea. Subjects and Method: This was a a quasiexperiment without control group. The study was conducted at the Postgraduate Clinic of Universitas Nusa Cendana, from March to April 2020. The study population was the students of the Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Nusa Cendana year 2019. A sample of 40 students was selected by purposive sampling. The dependent variable was dysmenorrhea. The independent va-riables were lavender and jasmine aromatherapy. Dysmenorrhea was measured by Numerical Pain Rating Scale. The data were analyzed by t test. Results: After receiving lavender and jasmine aromatherapy, intensity of dysmenorrhea in lavender aromatherapy (Mean=19,50 ; SD=0,48 ) was lower than jasmine aromatherapy (Mean=-21.50 ; SD=0.51 ), but it was statistically non-significant (p= 0.524). Conclusion:Lavender and jasmine aromatherapy have similarly effect in intensity of dysmenorrhea.

Dafala village is one of the villages in NTT that uses lenglengan leaves as traditional medicine to treat diseases such as coughs, TBC, diarrhea and back pain.This present research aims to know the bioactive compounds and composition of the bioactive contained in Lenglengan (Leucas lavandulifolia Sm.) leaf extract, and too know the effectiveness of lenglengan leaf extract in inhibiting Staphyloccocus areus bacteria. We extracted leaves of Lenglengan by maceration method using ethanol. The extract was obtained and then tested in a qualitative way to determine the bioactive compounds are made by using reagents. While in the quantitative test to Determine of levels of flavonoids, phenols and tannins using UV-Vis spectrophotometry method, alkaloids and saponins using the gravimetric method. The Antibacterial test was carried out by disc paper method. Paper discs containing extract concentrations: 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 62.5% and 75%, positive control (gentamicin) and negative control (aquadest) were placed on MHA media containing S. aureus suspension, incubated at 37°C for 24 hours and then the diameter of the inhibition was observed. Qualititive test result show that the lenglengan leaf extract contains 5 bioactive compounds include alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and phenols. The composition of bioactive compounds in Lenglengan   leaf extract: flavonoids 23.93%, saponins: 19.05%, alkaloids: 15.28%, tannins: 5.81%, and phenols: 2,335%. The atibacterial result reveal that lenglengan leaf extract was significantly affect in inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus. The higher concentration of extract lenglengan leaves used, the higher the inhibition zone produced. The highest level response inhibition showed from level of 12.5%: 11.3 mm, 25%: 12.4 mm, 50%: 13.43 mm, 62.5%: 14.43 mm and 75%: 15.58 mm, gentamicin: 17.4 mm aquades:  0 mm.
