This study documented ethnomedical knowledge of plants used for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB) and its related symptoms as practiced by the Jakun community of Kampung Peta, situated in Endau Rompin Johor National Park, Johor, Malaysia. Eight key informants were selected by snowball sampling technique and data about medicinal plants were collected by semistructured interviews, participatory observations, and focus group. Qualitative analysis was undertaken using thematic analysis. There were 23 species of plants (22 genera, 20 families) documented and herbarium specimens were deposited at the UTHM Herbarium.Dipterocarpus sublamellatuswas recorded for the first time with ethnomedical uses while other species were previously reported. The qualitative approach employed in this study demonstrates the emic perspective in terms of perceptions on traditional herbal medicine, transfer of knowledge, significant taboos related with medicinal plants, and their conservation efforts. Local and biomedical terminology in treatment of TB showed substantial correspondence. The outcomes obtained in the study are worth being further investigated for conservation strategies and are worthy of verifying their ethnomedical claims scientifically.

Abstract. Navia ZI, Suwardi AB, Baihaqi. 2021. Ethnobotanical study of medicinal plants used by local communities in Sekerak Subdistrict, Aceh Tamiang, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 4273-4281. Local communities in Aceh Tamiang have gained a wealth of medicinal knowledge through practice and experience in their long-term battles with the disease. However, because of a lack of written records and rapid economic development, their traditional medicinal knowledge is under threat. This study investigated medicinal plants and related traditional knowledge of local communities in the Sekerak subdistrict, Aceh Taming, Indonesia. Field surveys, plant collections, and interviews with communities were used in this study. The Snowball Sampling technique was used to select 60 informants for the interviews. A total of 46 medicinal plant species belonging to 40 genera and 26 families were used for medicinal purposes by local communities to treat 28 different diseases. The itch, swelling, cough, and nosebleed were the most commonly treated. With a use-value index of 0.98, Tagetes erecta was the most commonly used medicinal plant by local communities. In addition, local communities identified the leaf (50%) as the most widely used plant part and oral administration (65%) as the most common method of administering traditional medicine. Elders have more knowledge of medicinal plants than younger generations, indicating that traditional knowledge is eroding across generations. However, initiatives to promote and conserve medicinal plants must be improved, particularly among the younger generation. This is required to ensure the availability of medicinal plants and the preservation of traditional knowledge in the future.

As we know that there are some of vocational educations that have official ties with ministries or ministry-level bodies, one of them is the College of Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics. The purpose of this study is to find things to improve the organization after changes. The main question that guides this research is the sustainability effort that needs to be applied and influences the organization. Research uses qualitative methods and case study approaches. The sampling technique was purposive and snowball sampling with 40 informants. Based on the research that has been done, found that improvements must be made continuously after organizational changes are divided into two factors. Internal factors such as lecturer competency, lecturer availability, and additional composition in the teaching-learning process from theory to practicum. While external factors regularly review of curriculum and syllabus, technology updates, and digitalization. The update in this study, each lecturer is required not only in the transfer of knowledge but also to instill ethical and moral values. The cadets were prepared as agents of change. As an official school, each graduate not only understands the knowledge gained during education but also must be ready to work at the parent institution. The cadets must be well prepared to work at the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency. For this reason, the things that need to be done in maintaining sustainability after the change in the official school organization are updating technology. There needs to be "digital culture" in various activities at STMKG, comparative studies, and participation in national and international seminars so that continuous learning and continuous improvement are always rolling.
