Judul: Aktivitas antidiabetes fraksi hasil fraksinasi ekstrak etanol daun kina ledger (Cinchona ledgeriana Moens).
Abstrak: Diabetes melitus (DM) merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan yang besar. DM adalah suatu penyakit yang tubuh penderitanya tidak dapat secara otomatis mengendalikan tingkat gula glukosa dalam darahnya. Tanaman kina mengandung senyawa alkaloid yang terbentuk secara alami. Kelompok senyawa fenolik dan alkaloid diketahui berpotensi sebagai antidiabetes. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk menetapkan rendemen dan aktivitas daun kina sebagai agen antidiabetes secara in vitro serta menentukan fraksi teraktif. Tujuan lain untuk mengetahui komponen kimia yang ada di dalam fraksi teraktifnya. Fraksinasi menggunakan metode solvent-solvent extraction, pengujian antidiabetes melalui uji penghambatan enzim α-glukosidase secara in vitro dan analisis komponen kimia menggunakan gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Rendemen fraksi n-heksana, fraksi etil asetat, dan residu sebesar 0.20%, 1.96%, dan 10.10%. Fraksi etil asetat dan residu tergolong aktif antidiabetes (IC50 etil asetat= 15.80 μg/mL, residu= 35.13 μg/mL) dan fraksi n-heksana tidak aktif (IC50>100 μg/mL). Analisis komponen kimia menunjukkan fraksi etil asetat mengandung senyawa dominan levoglukosan.

Judul: Aktivitas Antidiabetes Ekstrak Etanol Daun Kina Ledger (Cinchona ledgeriana moens) dan Kina Succi (Cinchona succirubra pavon)
Abstrak: Diabetes mellitus (DM) merupakan salah satu jenis penyakit tidak menular yang masih menjadi masalah kesehatan yang utama di Indonesia. Kina dikenal sebagai tanaman obat yang banyak digunakan dalam mengobati panyakit malaria dan berpotensi sebagai antidiabetes. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis fitokimia simplisia daun kina ledger dan kina succi, menetapkan rendemen dan aktivitas antidiabetes ekstrak etanol kedua jenis kina secara in vitro. Tujuan penelitian lainnya adalah untuk menganalisis fitokimia secara kualitatif dan kuantitatif ekstrak teraktif sabagai antidiabetes. Daun kina ledger dan kina succi diekstraksi dengan metode masarasi menggunkan pelarut etanol 95%, pengujian antidiabetes melalui uji penghambatan enzim α-glukosidase secara in vitro dan analisis fitokimia secara kuantitatif menggunakan gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Rendemen yang didapat untuk kina ledger dan kina succi masing-masing adalah 34.00% dan 27.30%. Ekstrak etanol daun kina ledger tergolong sangat aktif bersifat antidiabetes (IC50=6.53 μg/ml) dan daun kina succi tidak aktif (IC50>100 μg/ml). Analisis fitokimia secara kuantitatif menunjukan bahwa ekstrak etanol daun kina ledger mengandung senyawa asam kuinat sebagai senyawa dominan.

Judul: Characteristic of Overshooting Top (OT) Based on  Himawari  8  Satellite  as  a  Convective  Cloud  Feature  that  Generates  Extreme Weather in the Java Island Region
Abstrak: Overshooting Top (OT) is a feature at the top of a convective cloud that is associated with extreme weather. Research on OT in tropical Indonesia is still very limited. The existence of geostationary satellites with wide area coverage and fast frequency observations is useful for observing the fast dynamics of the OT life cycle. Therefore, this study intends to analyze the relationship between OT and extreme weather, updraft and thermodynamic conditions of OT when extreme weather occurs, the best objective method for detecting OT in the day time and night time, and the spatiotemporal distribution of OT in the tropical region of Java Island during the 2018-2021 period. Based on visual analysis using visible channel and Himawari 8 sandwich products, 87% of extreme weather events in Java were accompanied by the appearance of OT. It indicates that the presence of the OT pattern is a convection cloud pattern or feature that is closely related to extreme weather events for the Java Island region. The existence of a time lag between the appearance of OT and extreme weather events on Java Island indicates that the OT of convection cloud can be used as a precursor or nowcasting for the appearance of extreme weather. Most of the convective cloud OT features during extreme weather events on Java Island have altitude that were only able to exceed the altitude of the equilibrium level and few were able to exceed the tropopause level of 9 km – 16 km. The difference in atmospheric conditions during extreme weather events on Java Island, which is in the tropics and subtropics, is a strong and unstable convective energy condition characterized by a larger CAPE, as well as unstable KI, LI, SI and TTI values. It is offset by kinematic factors in the form of a weak vertical wind shear (bulk wind shear 0-6 km) and a higher freezing point height. The difference between extreme weather events in the Java Island region and other tropical regions compared to subtropical regions is the strong updraft speed of convection clouds. The IRW Texture COMB algorithm based on the IRW-Texture Gradient modification and the COMB algorithm shows a significant increase in quality for detecting OT and non-OT pixels in Java. Rainy days with rainfall > 50 mm/day are very common in areas with an altitude of > 500 m. On the other hand, the level of convection activity which is indicated by the presence of OT and lightning is significantly reduced in this area. OT of convective clouds appear more frequently during the DJF season and less frequently during the JJA season. OT often appears during the day time and rarely at night time. Most OTs appear in the central part, away from the south and north coasts of Java Island during the day, while OTs that appear near the south and north coasts of Java Island can appear in the morning or afternoon.
