Dengue fever is an infectious disease caused by the Dengue virus which is transmitted through mosquito bites. This disease causes symptoms of high fever, headache, and bone and muscle pain. If not treated properly, dengue fever is life threatening. The main symptom of dengue fever is a sudden increase in body temperature. Fever in dengue hemorrhagic fever generally lasts for 3 days. Fever can reach temperatures of 39-40°C and is difficult to reduce even if the patient has taken fever-reducing medication.Medicinal plants contain active compounds which can act as anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-plasmedial, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-cancer, immunomodulator (improving the body's immune system) and so on. Several types of medicinal plants that have activity as immunomodulators include: echinacea, noni, ginger, meniran, and bitter (Wuryaningsih & Suranto, 2012).    Currently, there are a lot of foods and drinks offered as supplement products that can improve body health, one of which is herbal drinks, which are drinks containing compounds that can have a positive effect on body health. One example of herbal drinks that can be found is herbal drinks from ginger, turmeric, etc. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to educate the public about types of medicinal plants, their properties, and how to process them appropriately based on an evidence-based scientific approach by adapting methods to these conditions.

This study explores the potential of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) as a bioelectricity source through Plant-Microbial Fuel Cell (PMFC) technology. The research aimed to evaluate the ability of water hyacinth to generate stable electrical energy when integrated with electrodes in a controlled laboratory setting. The method applied was an experimental laboratory design, where water hyacinths were placed in containers filled with water, equipped with anode and cathode electrodes, and connected to a voltmeter and ammeter for continuous monitoring. Observations were carried out for 72 hours with periodic recording of voltage and current values. The findings show that water hyacinth can generate measurable electricity, with voltage ranging from 0.25 V to 0.32 V and current between 0.18 mA and 0.24 mA, indicating the potential of this plant to produce renewable energy. Moreover, the results reveal that the generated electricity was relatively stable during the observation period, though variations occurred due to environmental conditions. The implications of this research suggest that water hyacinth, often considered a weed, can be utilized not only for energy production but also as part of ecological management programs. This dual function makes PMFC technology a promising alternative for sustainable energy development, especially in rural or remote areas where access to conventional electricity remains limited.

This study aims to determine and evaluate the Performance of the Food Crops Agriculture Service in the 2018-2023 Subsidized Fertilizer Distribution Program (Case Study of Rice Farmers, in Seso Village, Ngada Regency). Using a qualitative descriptive approach with Atik Septi Winarsih's theory and Robbins' theory which highlights Responsiveness, Responsibility, Accountability, Punctuality, Work Commitment. The study involved 12 Informants.The results showed that in the subsidized fertilizer distribution program, employees of the Food Crop Agriculture Office of Ngada Regency have not carried out their duties in accordance with the needs of farmers on agricultural land, this is due to communication deficiencies such as in terms of providing infrastructure, fertilizer stocks, and the problem of changing fertilizer price increases and in terms of special training in accessing the E-RDKK system. One of the factors that hinders access to this system is that farmers do not understand the use of the E-RDKK system through android phones and the lack of knowledge that farmers have. The Ngada Regency Food Crop Agriculture Office has also not provided sufficient facilities and infrastructure on farms because there are many delays in distribution that take more time than the specified time. Services at the Ngada Regency Food Crop Agriculture Office have not been in accordance with the implementation in the field so that farmers' needs have experienced delays in service. Another form of participation that supports the sustainability of the subsidized fertilizer distribution program is by conducting socialization activities. The form of participation that is carried out is contrary to community expectations where the completion time is delayed from the time that should be determined.

Traditional markets are central to community economic activities and play a significant role in the distribution of local food products. Therefore, markets reflect the diversity of food crop commodities available in a region. This diversity holds vital importance in supporting human health balance. The more diverse the plant species available in a region, the greater the variety of nutrients that can be obtained, such as minerals, vitamins, fiber, and other essential nutrients. Furthermore, the diversity of food crops is also valuable from cultural and environmental conservation perspectives. This study aims to identify and document the diversity of food crops traded in Grogol Market and Telukan Market, Sukoharjo Regency, Central Java. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method. Data were collected through observations and semi-structured interviews using an ethnobotanical with 55 respondents who are traders in both markets. The data were then classified based on family, edible plant parts, and commodity categories. The study's findings revealed that 124 species or varieties of plants from 39 families are traded in Grogol Market and Telukan Market. The Zingiberaceae family has the highest number of species found in both markets. Vegetables are the largest commodity group traded, followed by fruits, spices, and staple foods. The parts of plants traded include fruits, leaves, tubers, seeds, rhizomes, stems, and flowers. Based on the results, the diversity of food crops traded in Grogol Market and Telukan Market is relatively high, reflecting local potential that supports community health, cultural heritage, and environmental sustainability.

The aim of this research is to analyze the legal protection of farmers who have expertise in plant breeding. This research method uses legal research with normative research type, which is a type of doctrinal legal research which in certain contexts is known as literature study or document study. The results of this study are that legal protection for plant breeders in Indonesia is still inconsistent, especially in Law Number 12 of 1992 tends to favor large companies with financial and technological resources, while Law Number 29 of 2000 does not provide special treatment for small farmers who face procedural obstacles and high registration costs. Law No. 4/2006 has also not provided special protection to plant breeding farmers. Norm making to protect farmers in plant breeding is faced with several inhibiting factors. These factors include the lack of clear regulations on protecting the rights of traditional farmers, limited access to their participation in the rule-making process, and limited resources and legal knowledge. In addition, the dominance of industrial interests, slow bureaucracy, and lack of communication and socialization of regulations further exacerbate the gap, while favoring modern farmers ignores small and traditional farmers.

Chilli farming is an important sector in Ende District, but plant disease problems are often an obstacle that hampers productivity.
