Abstract

Caesalpinia sappan L., commonly known as sappanwood, has been used in traditional medicine across Southeast Asia for centuries. The objective was to clarify the sappanwood extract's phytochemical profile, antioxidant activity, specific and non-specific parameters. The extraction was performed via maceration using 96% ethanol as the solvent. Phytochemical screening to identify the presence Phytochemical content. Antioxidant activity was assessed using the DPPH assay, yielding an impressive activity of 80%, comparable to the positive control, vitamin C. Phytochemical screening identifed the presence of bioactive compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenoids, and phenolics, while saponins and tannins were notably absent. Specific parameters, including total phenolic content, were quantified using the Folin-Ciocalteu method, while non-specific parameters encompassed moisture content (11%), extract yield (20%), neutral pH (6), and density (0.7 g/cm³). The physical characteristics of sappanwood were described as cylindrical, measuring approximately 10 cm in diameter and 1 m in length, with a reddish-brown to dark red hue and a rough, porous texture. Importantly, the extract was found to be free from hazardous heavy metals, including lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, and chromium. In conclusion, these findings underscore the potential of sappanwood as a safe and beneficial natural resource for health and industrial applications

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of workload, work stress, organizational culture and work environment on job performance. This research was conducted at the sub-branch office of the Bank Sumut Syariah which is located in the Deli Serdang area, namely in Lubuk Pakam, Limau Manis, and Hamparan Perak. Researchers took the entire population with a total of 35 people as research respondents. This research method uses quantitative research using an associative approach, data collection techniques using a questionnaire. The data obtained were analyzed using the multiple linear regression method. The results showed that workload had a positive and significant effect on job performance. It can be seen from the results of data processing the Workload variable tvalue 2.374 > ttable 2.042. As for the variables Work Stress,­ 2.042, Organizational Culture variable value of 1.069 < t­table 2.042, t value the Work Environment variable is 0.783 < ttable 2.042. The results of the simultaneous test hypothesis show that Workload, Work Stress, Organizational Culture and Work Environment simultaneously affect Job Performance. This can be seen from the calculated Fvalue of 3.908 > Ftable 2.68.

Abstract

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are an important public health issue, especially among adults of reproductive age. Premarital screening plays a strategic role in the early detection of STIs to prevent transmission to partners and offspring. This study aims to determine the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and the characteristics of prospective brides and grooms who undergo premarital examinations at the Bantimurung Community Health Center (UPTD Puskesmas Bantimurung). This study used a descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample was determined using purposive sampling with a total of 64 respondents, and the sample size was calculated using the Lemeshow formula. This study was conducted from March 3 to June 2, 2025. Data were obtained through laboratory tests, including detection of HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B using rapid diagnostic tests, as well as structured interviews regarding risk factors. The results showed that most respondents were aged 25–30 years (33 people or 52%), 20–24 years (21 people or 33%), above 30 years (9 people or 14%), and 19 years (1 person or 2%). Based on gender, there were 30 males (47%) and 34 females (53%). Laboratory results showed an STI prevalence of 1.6%, with one reactive syphilis case and 63 (98.4%) non-reactive cases, while all respondents were non-reactive for HIV and hepatitis B. It was concluded that the prevalence of STIs among prospective brides at the Bantimurung Community Health Center was low, with the main risk factors being low knowledge and risky sexual behavior. It is recommended that further research be conducted with a larger sample size and wider coverage area to obtain more representative results, as well as increased education about reproductive health and the importance of premarital checkups in preventing STIs.
