The study aims to analyze the differences in the development of corn cultivation in peat soils between no-burning and traditional methods or with burning in Rasau Jaya District, Kubu Raya District. The fact that currently clearing forests is still using burning on agricultural land in general and especially on peat soil that is feared to experience underground burning is difficult to overcome and cause many losses. The development of corn on land without burning on peat soil is a solution for the community in maintaining ecosystem sustainability. The explanatory research is directed at testing hypotheses and following research objectives. Data collection by interview and questionnaire to 60 respondents were corn farmers on peat soil. The average difference test is used in explaining the difference in yield between the two methods of planting on peat soil. The results found that there were significant differences in the application of corn cultivation on peat soil without burning compared to the traditional method on the variables fertilizer, pesticide, business costs, and yields. In contrast, the planting area variable had no significant difference.

<p><strong>Abstrak.</strong> Lahan gambut terbentuk karena adanya penambahan bahan organik segar yang lebih cepat daripada perombakannya, sehingga terjadi timbunan organik dari waktu ke waktu. Gambut Indonesia sangat potensial dimanfaatkan untuk penyediaan bahan pangan. Pemanfaatan lahan gambut yang lebih masif untuk memasok bahan pangan dipicu oleh (1) laju alih fungsi lahan pertanian, (2) pertambahan jumlah penduduk, dan (3) keinginan menjadikan Indonesia sebagai lumbung pangan dunia dunia. Tanah gambut dalam sistem klasifikasi tanah USDA termasuk dalam ordo Histosol. Tanah gambut juga dapat diklasifikasikan berdasarkan tingkat dekomposisi, kesuburan, fisiografi, proses pembentukan, bahan penyusun dan ketebalan gambut. Berdasarkan ketebalan gambut, tanah gambut dengan ketebalan 50-100 cm dikategorikan sebagai gambut dangkal/tipis. Karakteristik dan potensi lahan gambut antaralain ditentukan oleh sifat kimia, fisika dan biologi. Semakin tebal gambut, semakin rendah potensinya untuk budidaya tanaman pangan dan hortikultura. Potensi lahan gambut dangkal/tipis di Indonesia diperkirakan sekitar 5.241.473 ha atau 35,17% dari total luas lahan gambut Indonesia, tersebar di Pulau Papua (2.425.523 ha), Pulau Sumatera (1.767.303 ha), dan Pulau Kalimantan (1.048.611 ha). Lahan tersebut baru sebagian kecil dimanfaatkan petani untuk budidaya tanaman pangan, dan hortikultura dengan produktivitas yang tergolong rendah. Kebakaran lahan gambut dan faktor lainnya menyebabkan terjadinya dinamika luas lahan gambut tipis. Potensi gambut tipis dapat dimanfaatkan untuk budidaya tanaman pangan seperti padi, jagung, dan kedelai, tanaman hortikultura buah-buahan seperti nenas, pisang, pepaya, melon, dan tanaman hortikultura sayuran berupa tomat, pare, mentimun, cabai, kangkung, dan bayam. Kontribusi lahan gambut tipis terhadap produksi tanaman pangan dan hortikultura diperkirakan 50-60% dari total produksi lahan gambut.</p><p><em><strong>Abstract.</strong> Peatlands are formed by continuous addition of fresh organic materials faster than its decomposition, resulted in accumulation of undecomposed organic material from time to time. Indonesia's peatlands are highly potential to be cultivated to produce a variety of foods. The more massive use of peatlands to supply food is triggered by (1) the rate of conversion of agricultural land, (2) population growth, and (3) the desire to feed the world. In the USDA Classification System, peat soils belong to the order of Histosol. Peat soils may also be classified by decomposition rate, fertility, physiography, formation process, constituents and thickness of peat. Based on peat thickness, peat soil with thickness &gt; 50-100 cm is categorized as shallow/thin peat. The characteristics and potentials of peatlands among other areas are determined by chemical, physical and biological characteristics. The thicker the peat, the lower the potential for cultivation of food crops and horticulture. Differences in classification results in differences in peat characteristics such as chemical, physical and biological properties. The potential of shallow peatlands in Indonesia is estimated at 5,241,473 ha or about 35.17% of Indonesia's total peatland area, spread over Papua (2,425,523 ha), Sumatra (1,767,303 ha) and Kalimantan (1,048.611 ha). Only a small proportion of shallow peatlands are used by farmers for cultivation of food crops and horticulture, but the productivity is low. Peatland fires and other factors have led to dynamics of widespread of shallow peatland. Shallow peatlands can be utilized for cultivation of food crops such as rice, corn, and soybeans, horticultural crops such as pineapple, banana, papaya, melon, and vegetable horticultural crops such as tomatoes, pare, cucumber, chilli, kale, and spinach. The contribution of shallow peatlands to the production of food crops and horticulture is estimated to be 50-60% of the total peatland production.</em></p>

Based on the data of the laboratory experiment it was found, that the greatest impact of oil pollution has had on test objects Paramecium caudatum and lyophilized luminescent bacteria “Ekolyum”. They recorded the appearance of toxic effects by increasing the oil content in peat soils above the level of 3035 milligram per kilogram. Thus, the oil content equal to 3035 milligram per kilogram (3.0 gramm per kilogram) may be recommended as a standard acceptable residual oil and petroleum products in the peat soils of land for forestry purposes to the conditions of the Udmurt Republic. We recommend use the norm equal to the 2.0 gramm per kilogramm of peat soil for agricultural land. When conducting toxicology tests, it is necessary to take into account that uncontaminated peat also has a certain toxic effect on some test objects (Paramecium caudatum).

Background and Aims: In addition to improving gastrointestinal health and intestinal microflora, probiotic bacteria have been recently suggested to decrease cariogenic agents in the oral cavity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of probiotic yogurt and xylitol-containing chewing gums on reducing salivary Streptococcus mutans levels. Study design: This randomized clinical trial recruited 50 female students with over 105 colony forming units S. mutans per milliliter of their saliva. The participants were randomly allocated to two equal groups to receive either probiotic yogurt containing Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 4356 andBifidobacteriumbifidum ATCC 29521 (200 g daily) or xylitol-containing chewing gums (two gums three times daily after each meal; total xylitol content: 5.58 g daily) for three weeks. At baseline and one day, two weeks, and four weeks after the interventions, saliva samples were cultured on mitis-salivarius-bacitracin agar and salivary S. mutans counts were determined. Data were analyzed with independent t-tests, analysis of variance, and Fisher's least significant difference test. Results: In both groups, S. mutans counts on the first day, second week, and fourth weeks after the intervention were significantly lower than baseline values (P &lt; 0.05). The greatest level of reduction in both groups was observed in the second week after the intervention. Moreover, although the reduction was greater in probiotic yogurt consumers, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant. Conclusion: Probiotic yogurt and xylitol-containing chewing gums seem to be as effective in reduction of salivary S. mutans levels. Their constant long-term consumption is thus recommended to prevent caries.

The tropical climate in Indonesia supports the presence of many types of plants that have the potential to produce abundant vegetables and fruit, however the presence of fruit flies is an obstacle to fruit and vegetable productivity. Lemongrass and basil have been studied to contain several compounds that have the potential to control fruit fly attacks. This study aims to determine the effect of the ethanol extract of lemongrass pseudo stem (Cymbopogon citrates) and basil (Ocimum sanctum) leaves on the catch of Bactrocera fruit flies and to determine the concentration of the extract that has the highest number of catches. The method used in sampling was factorial randomized block design (RBD). The ethanol extract of the pseudo-lemongrass, the extract of basil leaves or the mixture of both extract (1:1) that was given at concentrations of 15%, 30% and 45% was dropped onto a piece of cotton and for then be put within a trap before placing on the tree. The cathes obtained from each extract at each concentration were observed if they show a significant difference in the number of fruit fly. Data were tested using analysis of variance (F test) at α = 0.05, followed by the Honest Significant Difference test (HSD). The results showed that the catch obtained from ethanol extract of lemongrass pseudo stem or from basil leaf ectract as well as  from their mixture had a significantly higher number of Bactrocera fruit flies than without using these extracts. The difference in extract concentration did not cause a difference in the ability to attract fruit flies. The conclusion of this study is that there is an effect of the  pseudo stem ethanol extract of lemongrass or basil leaf ectract as well as their mixture on the catch of Bactrocera fruit flies and these extract are recommended as non-synthetic pesticidesalternatives.

Abstract The COVID-19 epidemic has brought more people into their homes, so it is hoped that their behavior towards dengue mosquito nests in their homes will improve. The design of this study was cross-sectional with a consecutive sampling approach in data collection, which was conducted between May 6, 2020 – May 9, 2020, in Indonesia. Data was collected using a questionnaire (google form) which was assessed with ten indicators. Data analysis was carried out by using the average difference test to determine differences in people’s behavior. The analysis results showed no significant difference (p>0.005) with the community’s behavior in controlling the dengue vector before and during the pandemic. Suggestions that need to be made are continuous education about DHF and efforts to prevent transmission by eradicating mosquito nests.
