Abstract

Background: Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive coccus which acts as a pathogen causing awide range of infectious diseases. In recent years, several strains of S. aureus have been found to showresistance to several antibiotics. Waste cooking oil may be considered as an alternative antibacterialproduct, as it contains long-chain fatty acids whose antibacterial effectiveness against S. aureus hasbeen known for years. In addition, oxidative biocides produced during the frying process have manytargets for antibacterial activity in the cell and affect almost every biomolecule. Nonetheless, there isno literature that is able to prove the antimicrobial effects of the waste palm cooking oil. Objective: Toexamine the in vitro antibacterial effect of waste palm cooking oil against S. aureus. Method: a twofoldserial dilution method to set the minimum level of both inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations.Conclusion: This study showed that waste palm cooking oil did not show antibacterial effects againstS. aureus, indicating that waste palm cooking oil is not possibly to be applied as an antibacterial agentagainst S. aureus.

Abstract

Introduction: Cabin fever is described as some combination of irritability, moodiness, and depression due to isolation during COVID-19. Cabin fever may happen to anyone who has to isolate themself at home because of the COVID-19 outbreak. We aim to identify the risk factor, the influence of hormone imbalance on mood changes, and how to deal with cabin fever during isolation due to COVID-19. People who are unable to connect with other people physically, unable to do activities that they used to do, unmotivated due to having no work, and anxious about finances due to lack of income may have a higher risk of cabin fever. Review: Social isolation experienced by people with cabin fever may result in hormonal imbalances that eventually affect their mood. This is due to the stress that comes from prolonged stay-at-home orders, which are thought to disturb the balance of the hormones in a person’s body. Hormones which are able to cause mood changes are cortisol, thyroid, testosterone, estradiol, and progesterone. Cabin fever is not a recognized psychological condition. In this way, there is no standard treatment for cabin fever. Conclusion: Therefore, acceptance, reconciliation with oneself, coexistence and trust (intimate interactions, mindfulness, and positive self-shaping as self-control) are keys to overcome cabin fever.
