Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh realita bahwa masih banyak tumbuhan di Indonesia terutama di Provinsi Kalimantan Barat yang belum dimanfaatkan secara maksimal. Buah mengkudu merupakan tanaman dari dataran Asia yang tumbuh di dataran rendah. Tumbuhan ini sangat sering ditemui dan berserakan tanpa ada pemanfaatan yang berarti bagi masyarakat luas. Hanya sebagian kecil masyarakat yang memanfaatkan tumbuhan ini.
Jika kita telaah secara kimiawi tumbuhan ini sangat baik bagi kesehatan kulit kepala.Kandungan anti-bakteri seperti Acubin, L. asperuloside, alizarin dan beberapa zat antraquinon terdapat dalam tumbuhan ini. Zat¬-zat yang terdapat di dalam buah mengkudu telah terbukti menunjukkan kekuatan melawan golongan bakteri infeksi: Pseudonzonas aeruginosa, Proteus morganii, Staphylo¬coccus aureus, Bacillus subtilis dan Escherichia coli.Pengujian selanjutnya menunjukkan bahwa kegiatan zat anti-bakteri dalam buah mengkudu dapat mengontrol dua golongan bakteri yang mematikan (pathogen), yaitu: Salmonella dan Shigella. Penemuan zat-zat anti bakteri dalam sari buah mengkudu mendukung kegunaannya untuk merawat penyakit infeksi kulit, pilek, demam dan berbagai masalah kesehatan yang disebabkan oleh bakteri.
Staphylo¬coccus aureus merupakan bakteri penyebab gangguan pada kulit kepala yang sering disebut ketombe. Indonesia merupakan daerah Tropis sehingga masyarakat rentan terhadap ketombe. Perlu adanya inovasi dengan memanfaatkan Acubin, L. asperuloside, alizarin dan zat antraquinonpada tumbuhan herbal khususnya buah mengkudu untuk digunakan sebagai “Shampo Anti Ketombe”.
Untuk membuat shampo tidak sulit cukup menggunakan ekstrak dari buah Morinda Citrifolia dan menambahkan beberapa campuran dari bahan alami lainnya. Maka kita akan mendapatkan shampo herbal dari ekstrak buah Morinda Citrifolia.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
