Published: November 2024

ObjectivesChildhood social care can lead to lifelong problems affecting health, educational attainment and other areas of a person’s life. Improving outcomes for children are therefore key policy objectives in many nations. The aim of this workshop was to inspire and drive forward life-course research on childhood social care internationally.
ApproachThe workshop included presentations on the themes of the data jigsaw across the family life-course and data sovereignty and engagement. Presentations under each theme were followed by group activities and discussions.
ResultsAdministrative data collections that include longitudinal details on childhood social care, developmental, health and other outcomes are becoming increasingly available for researcher purposes. Examples include the BEBOLD platform and the New South Wales Child E-Cohort in Australia, ECHILD in England and the Welsh SAIL Databank. First nations data sovereignty and engagement of childhood social care recipients has become a norm in many nations and led to improvements in research, including in methodology and interpretation of results. Together, improved access to data and meaningful stakeholder engagement can inform policy and practice to improve outcomes for children and young people.
ConclusionsBarriers exist to understanding the family and home environments, such as very limited or no information about the fathers and other household members. Capturing populations who move between jurisdictions, e.g. migrants, is limited as administrative data is difficult to share across devolved nations/federated states. In some cases, a mismatch exists between expectations of meaningful engagement and institutional/research culture, resource and skill availability.
Metabolic regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses of neonates
Authors:   , Holm Sean
Published: November 2024

Immunometabolism is a burgeoning ﬁeld of study providing novel insights into the mechanisms governing immune cell phenotype and function. However, most of this research has been conducted in adults resulting in a paucity of research concerning the metabolic features and requirements in early life including of human neonatal immune cells. This is despite the documented diﬀerences between adult and neonatal immune cell function. This thesis aims to address this by investigating the following questions: are the metabolic characteristics and requirements of neonatal immune cells diﬀerent from adults and if so, do these unique characteristics and requirements explain the diﬀerences in immune cell phenotype and function seen in neonates? To explore these questions, immune cells, primarily naïve CD4+ T cells and neutrophils, were isolated from the peripheral blood of healthy adult donors and umbilical cord blood from term elective caesarean sections and experimentally interrogated ex vivo and in vitro. Functional assays, including bioenergetic ﬂux, functional assays and phenotyping by ﬂow cytometry were all used to provide insight into the metabolic and functional phenotype of adult and neonatal immune cells. For the ﬁrst time, this thesis shows a distinctly enhanced glycolytic program on anti-CD3/28 activation in neonatal naïve CD4+ T cells accompanied by increased amino acid stabilised mTOR signalling highlighting an important role for metabolites in governing naïve CD4+ T cell activation. Furthermore, this thesis ﬁnds that failure to produce neutrophil extracellular traps by neonatal neutrophils is likely a result of reduced aerobic glycolytic capacity generating insuﬃcient ATP to support this function. Together, these ﬁndings reveal the unique immunometabolic landscape of the neonate and begin to elucidate the mechanisms underpinning functional diﬀerences with adults, making a strong case for further investigation of neonatal immunometabolism, not only to provide novel therapeutic targets but also as a natural model of adult immune dysfunction

This research is an attempt to highlight the important aspect that leads to the inequality and marginalization of women in Toba Batak society, including their exclusion from leadership roles. The women experience this marginalization rationalized by the patriarchal system which is persistent and enduring even to this day. The role of the patriarchy system has resulted gender-inequality system that subordinate women in Toba Batak society. The Toba Batak patriarchal system is implemented in all aspects of life such as myths, rituals, organizations, leadership, and kinship systems. The cultural beliefs and rituals have created an attitude among the Toba Batak to view men as first class and women as second class. The research used qualitative research method particularly through ethnography. The researchers belong to the Toba Batak community attempt to be neutral and professionally on observing the life practices of the Toba Batak community. This research uses Pierre Bourdieu's theory of practice, especially doxa to analyze critically the Toba Batak, regarding leadership roles. Furthermore, this research includes the critique of patriarchy by Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza and Mary John Mananzan who have engaged with Bourdieu on how to approach the struggle against patriarchy. This research aims to reach the root causes of discrimination on leadership especially the women exclusion. Finally, the researchers offer pastoral invitation the importance equality between men and women as the image of God through family formation.
“The Soviets... Lead the Jewish People to Agriculture”: the Brief Experience of Jewish Agricultural Colonization in Soviet Siberia
Authors: Kliueva V.P.
Published: November 2024

The article is devoted to the activities of the Tyumen branch of OZET, a public organization operating in the USSR in the 1920-1930s. OZET set its goal to create Jewish collective farms in most regions of the country. The main areas of work of the Tyumen branch consisted of assistance in the resettlement of Jews to collective farms; countering anti-Semitic views, and supporting migrants leaving for Birobidzhan. In Tyumen, the initiators of the creation of the OZET cell were authoritative leaders of the Jewish (Judaic) community. A network of small cells and organizations was created throughout the Tyumen district. For the Jewish community of Tyumen, participation in the all-Union organization became a way of adapting to new social and political conditions and a way of consolidating the community. The activity of the Tyumen OZET aroused a wary attitude on the part of the Soviet (party) authorities, which quickly established complete control over the activities of the department. Tyumen OZET existed from 1928 to 1930. The experience of creating Jewish collective farms was unsuccessful; they were merged with larger collective farms, where Jews found themselves in the minority.

Authors: Petin D.I.
Published: November 2024

A brief analytical review of the biography and professional activities of Doctor of Historical Sciences, professor, specialist in a wide range of aspects of modern history of Russia, public figure Alexei Vladimirovich Sushko is presented. This scientist devoted most of his time to studying the past of the Omsk region in the 20th century in the context of studying such issues as military history, national politics, the history of the Russian Orthodox Church, the history of the Russian special services, and historical biography. The relevance of the publication is due to the fact that the hero of the day is one of the Omsk academic specialists, whose name is widely known far beyond the borders of the region of residence. The historiographical significance of this development is seen in the fact that in the classical academic tradition this kind of generalizing material about A.V. Sushko is presented for the first time on the pages of a scientific publication. This is the main purpose of this publication. The genre features of the presentation determined the theoretical basis of the article - the principle of systematicity, anthropological and institutional approaches, comparative historical and historical-biographical methods. This methodological combination made it possible to present the personality, professional and social activities of the hero of the day in the context of the situation of the era that encompassed the formation and strengthening of democratic Russia. This publication is addressed to a wide range of readers, primarily to researchers of the intelligentsia, history of historical science and local history in Western Siberia in the current third of the century.

Published: November 2024

The restoration of worn parts is an important aspect in the field of machine repair and maintenance of machinery. It allows you to significantly reduce repair costs and is a priority issue in the development of a machine maintenance and repair system. The main causes of performance loss products are abrasive wear, fatigue breakdowns, corrosion and other types of destruction. When choosing a recovery method, the type of coupling, types of friction and operating conditions of the machines are important factors. An increase in wear resistance can be achieved by changing the chemical composition of the material, mechanical influences and the application of wear-resistant coatings.

Published: November 2024

This study evaluated the effects of various climatic variables on the efficiency of a solar-powered egg incubator. Results showed that generated incubation temperature (GIT) and relative humidity (GIRH) all significantly impacted the incubator’s performance. Low temperatures negatively affected egg embryonic formation and hatching rates, while high humidity levels resulted in poor egg quality. Additionally, it demonstrated that the incubator could be kept at the desired temperature of 34–38 oC and relative humidity of 56–86% for high efficiency. The study also discovered that more solar radiation resulted in more reliable and effective temperature control inside the incubator. The findings of this study offer significant contributions to the enhancement of solar-powered egg incubator designs and the optimisation of their efficiency under diverse climate scenarios.

Published: November 2024

This study aims to estimate the consumptive water use (CWU) for watermelon production in Auchi, Edo State, Nigeria. The research was conducted over a period of eight months (March–October) and used data collected from the watermelon field at the Demonstration and Research Farm of Auchi Polytechnic, Auchi. The result of the experiment revealed the estimation of CWU and watermelon water requirements (CWR) of 175.9 mm and 195 mm for the 62-day (August to October) vegetation stage of watermelon, with a CROPWAT projected harvest on November 20, 2022. The finding also revealed that the mean annual consumptive water use for watermelon production was 520.7 mm. The mean seasonal water use for watermelon production was higher in the dry season (March to June, 488.7mm) than in the wet season (July to October, 390.6mm). However, based on this harvest date, the model predicted irrigation requirements of 23.1 mm and 59.4 mm in October and November. Additionally, this study offers proof that management strategies for water use efficiency and irrigation scheduling can dramatically lower water losses and boost efficiency. The findings of this study can be applied to the Auchi region’s water management decision-making procedures as well as to help watermelon farmers reduce their water consumption levels while maintaining output.

Authors: Sudrajat Agus , Prasetyanti Retnayu , Nugroho Alih Aji , Iskandar Noor Shaky
Published: November 2024

This study intends to explore the idea of a vocational village strategy to foster sustainable rural development. Vocational villages, offering targeted skills training and economic opportunities, present a compelling soft approach to rural development, addressing the need for sustainable livelihoods and community empowerment. Drawing upon the collaborative governance (the penta-helix model); underpinning the social capital perspective; and highlighting the economic, institutional, cultural, environmental, technological, and institutional dimensions of sustainable development, a vocational village strategy is expected to level up village capacities and facilitate modernization. The research was narratively developed through a qualitative methodology using primary and secondary data sources. Primary empirical data was employed to analyze vocational village practices in Panggungharjo Village, Yogyakarta, Indonesia as a representative example. The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) framework provided secondary data to present comparative literature on vocational village development. The findings determined a four-staged vocational village model includes initiation, training, business development, and independence. The success of this model is contingent upon political, bureaucratic, and sociocultural factors (social capital), as well as the effective collaboration of government, academia, industry, and community (penta-helix). This research contributes to the urgency of vocational village practices and models as a viable strategy for achieving equitable and sustainable rural development.
Urban food availability and consumption in Grand Lomé, Togo: A household perception analysis
Authors: Nabagou Moyéme , Kpotchou Koffi
Published: November 2024

Introduction: Food well-being of the population is one of the priorities of the Togolese government, which relies on the agricultural investment and food security Programme to increase national food production. In addition, the country relies on food imports to make up the shortfall. At the same time undernourishment and malnutrition remain high among the country’s population. This research analyzes food supply and its implications for household consumption in Grand Lomé, Togo. [Methods] The methodology used documents, a survey of 963 heads of household randomly sampled households and semi-structured interviews with 10 households and with Togolese food safety agency (ANSAT). Quantitative data were processed and analyzed using Excel spreadsheets R and R-Studio, while content analysis was applied to the verbal applied to the verbal statements collected. Results: Firstly, the results show that domestic agricultural production contributed an average of 91% of food supply between 2014–2017. The deficit is made up by food imports, which rose from 13.5% in 2014 to 15.4% in 2017. This translated into an acceptable food energy consumption of 2337 Kcal/head/day in 2017. Secondly, 81% of respondents recognize a strong food presence at consumer markets, except that the chi-square test applied to the data at the 5% threshold shows (p-value < 2.2 × 10−16), indicates that this satisfaction is a function of place of residence. Despite this, persistent shortages affect more staple crops, livestock and dairy products, leading households to deprive themselves and buy food at affordable prices. Finally, we observe non-diversified diets marked by regular consumption of “cereals/legumes”, vegetables and beverages to the detriment of “tubers/roots”, “meat/fish”, “fruit” and “dairy products”. Conclusion: This research shows that food supply, although adequate, is not sufficient to ensure balanced, nutritious and culturally appropriate food consumption by urban households. Recommendations: To meet these challenges, the central government, in collaboration with urban communes and consumer advocates, must mobilize resources to create urban agricultural farms, strengthen food protection systems, distribute staple products directly to households and limit the importation of food that is hazardous to health.
Exploring the Fullness of Grace: Wesleyan Moves from Charity, Service, and Advocacy to Deep Solidarity
Authors: Rieger Joerg
Published: November 2024

This article deepens the Wesleyan understanding of works of mercy as means of grace, arguing that the fullness of a Wesleyan theology of grace can only be explored when we extend the church’s imagination beyond the current ecclesial practices of charity, service, and advocacy. More profound encounters of divine grace are emerging when works of mercy are interpreted in terms of what will be called “works of deep solidarity.” Engaging in deep solidarity with others and with God, in places where we least expect it and cannot yet fully envision it, has the potential of sparking the next revival.

Mineral classification using hyperspectral imaging represents an essential field of research improving the understanding of geological compositions. This study presents an advancedmethodology that uses an optimized 3D-2D CNNmodel for automatic mineral identification and classification. Our approach includes such crucial steps as using the Diagnostic Absorption Band (DAB) selection technique to selectively extract bands that contain the absorption features of minerals for classification in the Cuprite zone. Focusing on the Cuprite dataset, our study successfully identified the following minerals: alunite, calcite, chalcedony, halloysite, kaolinite,montmorillonite,muscovite, and nontronite. The Cuprite dataset results with an overall accuracy rate of 95.73%underscore the effectiveness of our approach and a significant improvement over the benchmarks established by related studies. Specifically, ASMLP achieved a 94.67%accuracy rate, followed by 3D CNN at 93.86%, SAI-MLP at 91.03%, RNN at 89.09%, SPE-MLP at 85.53%, and SAMat 83.31 %. Beyond the precise identification of specific minerals, ourmethodology proves its versatility for broader applications in hyperspectral image analysis. The optimized 3D-2D CNNmodel excels in terms of mineral identification and sets a new standard for robust feature extraction and classification.
The Existence of Tourism and Local Culture: A Study of the TALC Tourism Model in Bali
Authors: Sari Wulan Purnama , Pandrianto Nigar , Azeharie Suzy , Sukendro Gregorius G. , Irena Lydia
Published: November 2024

Objective: This research was conducted with the aim of conducting a study on the sustainability of tourism in Bali, exploring the reasons for how Bali maintains its existence as a leading tourist destination, amid the challenges and obstacles faced, associated with the tourism life cycle model proposed by Butler. This research focuses on how tourism can adapt to the changes that occur. This is also the novelty of this research, which provides a description of how a tourist area that is already in the superior stage continues to maintain its status and existence, while adapting to the changes that occur. The novelty in this research includes a holistic approach that not only emphasizes economic benefits, but also social, cultural, and environmental aspects to maintain the sustainability of tourism and the preservation of local culture.
 
Theoretical Framework: This research focus on tourism communication using model TALC by Butler.
 
Method: This research uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method. Researchers chose a qualitative approach and phenomenological method with the aim of being able to describe and analyze the direct experiences of the interviewees related to tourism life in Bali. Qualitative research allows researchers to explore the subjective experiences of the interviewees.
 
Results and Discussion: Based on the research results, it was concluded that Bali tourism is now in the sixth stage of Butler's TALC cycle model, namely decline or revitalization. Problems such as pollution, environmental damage, and the loss of local Balinese cultural values have the potential to accelerate the decline if not addressed properly. However, revitalization efforts have begun, with local and national governments starting to pay attention to the development of sustainable tourism. Programs to preserve the environment, maintain cultural balance, and limit development in sensitive areas have begun to be implemented. In addition, community-based tourism development has also been introduced to empower local communities and maintain Balinese cultural values.
 
Research Implications: Bali's existence as a tourist destination will continue to live as long as the Balinese people continue to apply their local cultural values and practices in their daily lives. These local cultural values and practices remain a magnet for attracting tourists to come and visit Bali, coupled with innovation and revitalization to continue to preserve local culture in Bali.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature of tourism communication theory by examing the implementation of model TALC by Butler.

Published: November 2024

Pediatric sepsis remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, necessitating efficient screening tools for early detection. This study addressed the evolving landscape of pediatric sepsis screening strategies, emphasizing the importance of nuanced approaches and technological advancements. With a focus on sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value, this study explored the performance of diverse screening tools and their impact on timely interventions. A systematic review was conducted using PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library, following defined inclusion criteria. Studies involving pediatric populations, sepsis screening, and reporting performance metrics were included. A two-step screening process, quality assessment, and data extraction were undertaken. The synthesis adopted a narrative approach, considering the anticipated heterogeneity in study designs, populations, and screening tools. Diverse screening tools exhibited variable outcomes. The current study findings underscored the complexity of balancing sensitivity and specificity, which is crucial for avoiding false positives and ensuring timely interventions. This study contributed to the ongoing discourse on pediatric sepsis screening by synthesizing evidence from diverse studies. The nuanced nature of pediatric sepsis demands tailored screening tools, and technological integration, which holds promise. Despite challenges and variances in tool performance, this study highlights the essential role of screening in early sepsis detection. Future research should prioritize refining tools, addressing limitations, and exploring novel technologies to enhance precision in pediatric sepsis screening.

Sind Männer unterversorgt? Eine Mixed-Methods-Studie zur Versorgungssituation von Männern in Deutschland
Authors:   inav, Amelung Volker , Klähn Ann-Kathrin ,   inav, Demandt Fenja ,   inav
Published: November 2024

Background: The health care situation of men, especially men in younger phases of life, before typical prostate problems occur, has been little studied. The aim of the study was to determine the status quo of care in the field of men's health in Germany, and to identify obstacles and potential for optimization in the implementation of preventive and health-promoting services in order to derive concrete recommendations for action. Methods: The study is a triangulation study with a mixed methods approach. It comprises a scoping review, qualitative expert interviews (n = 10), a quantitative online survey with service providers (n = 37) and a representative panel survey among men (n = 1,100). Results: The results of this study indicate that there is a structural underuse of care amongst men. After the end of the compulsory Childhood Early Screening Tests at the pediatrician, young men typically go a long time without regular contact with a doctor, which used to be shorter due to the physical examination as part of compulsory military service. Male-specific topics are rarely addressed by doctors and under two thirds of men have heard of male-specific cancer screening examinations. However, there are hardly any consultation sessions, for example on erectile dysfunction. Under 57% of men have a dedicated medical practitioner to whom they can turn for men-specific problems. In addition to organizational barriers, the biggest obstacles to the use of services are, in particular, an inadequate target group-specific approach and a lack of openness in dealing with male-specific illnesses. Conclusions: Possible solutions for overcoming the lack of care include adapting the system to the needs and circumstances of men in the long term, for example through adequate health communication strategies and low-threshold access to prevention and care services at all stages of life. Longitudinal research approaches could help to gain a more comprehensive picture of healthcare for men in Germany.

Culex mosquito is able to act as transmission vector of filariasis and Japanese encephalitis. Both diseases occur in Indonesia and filariasis exists in Banyuwangi district. The Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel (VGSC) gene mutations are related to pyrethroid insecticide resistance, especially L1014F/S mutations have not yet been fully studied in Indonesia. This study aimed to investigate the polymorphism of VGSC gene mutation in Culex mosquitoes in Banyuwangi District of East Java Province, Indonesia. Culex mosquitoes were collected using mosquito trap in a two-day collection from Banyuwangi Sub-district and two sub-villages in Cluring Sub-district of Banyuwangi District in August 2023. Culex mosquitoes were identified by morphological examination and Culex DNA was extracted by Chelex100 from each Culex mosquito. The polymorphism of VGSC gene mutations of L1014F/S were determined by Allele Specific-Polymerase Chain Reaction (AS-PCR). A total of 62 Culex mosquitoes were analyzed. The wild type Culex mosquitoes were found predominant (77%, 48/62). Two types of homozygous mutations were identified as 1014F and 1014 S (16%, 10/62 and 2%, 1/62, respectively). The heterozygous mutation was only 1014F/S type with frequency of 5% (3/62). The predominance of wild type Culex mosquitoes indicated that Culex population in the study areas is still susceptible to pyrethroid insecticide. However, the mutant types of Culex are already occurred, so insecticide resistance among Culex mosquitoes is required to be regular monitoring.
Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens L.) Larval Development as Affected by Different Substrates
Authors: Sucdad Septer
Published: November 2024

With the rising demand for sustainable protein sources and effective waste management solutions, Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae (Hermetia illucens) have gained attention for their ability to convert organic waste into high-protein biomass. This study investigates the effects of different organic substrates on the growth and nutritional quality of BSF larvae, aiming to identify optimal substrate types for enhancing protein production and supporting sustainable waste management. Conducted in Tomay, La Trinidad, Benguet from January to March 2022, the experiment compared the larval development duration, crude protein content, and associated rearing costs of BSF larvae fed with cabbage trimmings (control), banana peelings, and retrograded rice. The larvae’s development period, from first to sixth instar, ranged from 15 to 17 days under room temperature conditions of 24°C to 30°C and relative humidity levels between 52% and 99%. Results showed that larvae fed on banana peelings achieved the highest crude protein content at 17.81% with a moisture content of 61.11%, followed closely by cabbage trimmings with 17.34% protein and 64.22% moisture, and retrograded rice with 16.82% protein and 63.96% moisture. These differences in protein and moisture content suggest that substrate type significantly influences the nutritional quality of BSF larvae, with implications for their use as a sustainable protein source. In terms of cost, rearing BSF larvae on banana peelings resulted in the highest expenses (PhP3,343.00), followed by cabbage trimmings (PhP3,104.00) and retrograded rice (PhP2,970.00), with total experimental costs amounting to PhP9,509.50. This study highlights that substrate choice affects not only the growth rate and nutrient content of BSF larvae but also the economic feasibility of BSF rearing.
Diversity of Hymenoptera in Indonesian Rice Agroecosystems: A Systematic Review of Species Composition and Ecological Roles
Authors: Ikhsan Zahlul
Published: November 2024

Hymenoptera are vital for maintaining ecological balance in rice agroecosystems. These insects provide essential ecosystem services, particularly in biological pest control, reducing the reliance on chemical pesticides. Despite their importance, the impact of different agricultural practices on Hymenoptera diversity and their ecological roles in Indonesian rice fields remains underexplored. This systematic review aims to assess the diversity and ecological functions of Hymenoptera in Indonesian rice agroecosystems, evaluate their contributions to natural pest suppression, and examine how various management practices, including organic farming and Integrated Pest Management (IPM), affect Hymenoptera populations. A comprehensive search of peer-reviewed studies from Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar was conducted. Inclusion criteria focused on studies reporting Hymenoptera species diversity, ecological roles, and the effects of different rice farming practices. Data on species composition, pest suppression rates, and management practices were synthesized and analyzed using statistical methods, including regression and ANOVA.The findings reveal significant variation in Hymenoptera diversity across regions, with organic and IPM practices supporting higher species richness than conventional methods. A strong positive correlation was found between Hymenoptera diversity and pest suppression rates, particularly during the reproductive stage of rice growth. Parasitoids and predators played dominant roles in controlling key rice pests.Conserving Hymenoptera diversity through sustainable farming practices is crucial for reducing chemical inputs, improving pest control, and enhancing the resilience of rice agroecosystems. Future agricultural strategies should integrate biodiversity-friendly practices to ensure long-term sustainability in rice production.
Effectiveness of Wood Vinegar from Tobacco Stalk on Termite Resistance in Bamboo (Dendrocalamus asper Backer)
Authors: Okta Prima Indahsari
Published: November 2024

Bamboo (Dendrocalamus asper Backer) is commonly used as structural material in the tobacco curing barns of PT Perkebunan Nusantara X, where it is installed in the ground as supporting pillars. However, subterranean termites (Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren) pose a significant threat to bamboo, causing brittleness and structural damage. This study aimed to identify the most effective wood vinegar treatment to protect bamboo against termite attacks. This research conducted at February 2022 to July 2023 in Jember, East Java, Indonesia. This study used explanatory research methods. Tobacco stalk-derived wood vinegar was applied to bamboo using seven different treatments (labeled A to G), each replicated three times, and compared with untreated control bamboo. Wood vinegar made from tobacco stems is effective in suppressing subterranean termite attacks on bamboo. After 18 months of observation, treatment E—where bamboo was soaked in wood vinegar for one day, followed by the application of one liter of wood vinegar to the surrounding soil—proved to be the most effective. This treatment reduced termite damage by 29% compared to the control and minimized brittleness to only 12%, outperforming the other treatments. Consequently, treatment E is recommended for bamboo used in curing barns to enhance resistance against subterranean termite attacks.
Natural Occurrence of Metarhizium rileyi on Darna diducta as a Biological Control for Oil Palm Pests in Poso, Central Sulawesi
Authors: Henny Hendarjanti  , Henik Sukorini
Published: November 2024

The nettle caterpillar, Darna diducta, is a significant pest in oil palm plantations, causing damage to palm fronds that impacts overall plant health and yield. Traditionally, synthetic insecticides are used to manage this pest; however, such intensive chemical use has led to adverse effects, including pest resistance, resurgence, and environmental degradation. Entomopathogenic fungi like Metarhizium rileyi (formerly Nomuraea) represent a promising, environmentally friendly alternative for pest control. This study focused on the natural occurrence of M. rileyi infections in D. diducta larvae within oil palm plantations in East Pamona, Poso Regency, Central Sulawesi, observed in August 2015. Surveys conducted across several villages found a remarkable 100% infection rate of D. diducta larvae by M. rileyi, with each infected larva exhibiting extensive fungal growth, characterized by white mycelium covering the entire body. The resulting impact on palm frond damage was minimal, with the percentage of plant damage due to D. diducta categorized as mild, ranging from only 0.24% to 0.34%. These findings indicate that M. rileyi effectively suppresses D. diducta populations, reducing pest severity and frond damage. The high infection rate and its impact on pest control underscore M. rileyi’s potential as a natural biocontrol agent, offering a sustainable approach to managing D. diducta infestations. Thus, integrating M. rileyi as a biological control method could significantly benefit oil palm cultivation by minimizing chemical use, promoting ecological balance, and supporting long-term pest management strategies.
