Abstract

A body scrub is a cosmetic formulation intended to exfoliate dead skin cells and enhance skin hydration. One promising natural ingredient for body scrub formulations is the rhizome of Java turmeric (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.), which contains curcumin, a potent antioxidant known to support skin moisture retention. This study aims to evaluate the moisturizing efficacy of a body scrub formulated with Java turmeric rhizome extract. Methods: The rhizome was extracted through maceration using 96% ethanol and incorporated into body scrub formulations at concentrations of 10%, 15%, and 20%. The formulations were assessed for organoleptic characteristics, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, adhesion, oisturizing effect, and potential skin irritation on human volunteers. A commercial body scrub served as the comparator in a study involving 12 volunteers over four weeks, with applications performed once per week. Results: All Java turmeric body scrub formulations remained physically stable at room temperature and did not induce skin irritation. The physical characteristics of the formulations met standard cosmetic criteria, including consistent appearance, pH range of 6–7, spreadability between 5–7 cm, adhesion time above 4 seconds, and absence of irritation. Moisturizing effectiveness was evaluated using a skin analyzer, and data were statistically analyzed using SPSS. The p-value of 0.046 indicates that there is a significant difference between F1 and the commercial product, while for F2 and F3, there is no significant difference in moisturizing effectiveness between the temulawak formulations and the commercial product.. Among the tested formulations, the body scrub containing 20% Java turmeric extract exhibited the highest moisturizing effect. Conclusion: The body scrub formulated with Java turmeric rhizome extract, particularly at a concentration of 20%, is safe for use and shows potential as a natural moisturizing product comparable to commercial products on the market.

Abstract

Wastewater generated by the textile industry contains a variety of hazardous contaminants, including complex organic compounds, synthetic dyes, surfactants, heavy metals, and critical pollution indicators such as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total suspended solids (TSS). This study evaluates the efficacy of a dual-adsorbent system comprising hydrochloric acid-activated bentonite and phosphoric acid-activated carbon for the removal of BOD, COD, and TSS from textile effluents. The activation processes significantly altered the physicochemical properties of both adsorbents. The moisture content of activated carbon decreased from 18% to 3.10%, while ash content was reduced from 15% to 3.05%. The iodine number, indicative of adsorption capacity, increased from 650 mg/g to 810 mg/g. Additionally, the fixed carbon content improved from 55% to 80%. Surface characterization via Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) confirmed substantial structural modifications, which enhanced the adsorption performance of the materials. Application of the combined adsorbent system resulted in substantial pollutant removal efficiencies, with reductions of 70.23% in BOD, 70.11% in COD, and 74.88% in TSS. These findings demonstrate that acid-activated bentonite and phosphoric acid-treated activated carbon represent a promising and efficient adsorptive treatment strategy for the remediation of textile wastewater.

Abstract

Kekerasan seksual terhadap anak merupakan isu serius yang memerlukan intervensi layanan pendampingan yang efektif, memadai, dan responsif. Pusat Pelayanan Terpadu Pemberdayaan Perempuan dan Anak (P2TP2A) Kabupaten Padang Lawas menyediakan layanan khusus bagi anak korban, namun evaluasi menyeluruh terkait pengalaman, kepuasan, dan hambatan layanan masih terbatas. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode campuran (mixed methods) dengan pendekatan kuantitatif melalui survei menggunakan kuesioner skala likert kepada 20 anak korban kekerasan seksual, serta pendekatan kualitatif melalui wawancara mendalam dengan pihak P2TP2A dan keluarga korban. Analisis kuantitatif dilakukan untuk menghitung tingkat kepuasan, sedangkan analisis kualitatif dilakukan untuk menggali pengalaman layanan dan faktor penghambat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengalaman penerimaan layanan dinilai cukup baik, dengan sikap petugas yang empatik dan proses pendampingan yang mendukung. Tingkat kepuasan secara keseluruhan berada pada kategori cukup puas, dengan aspek pemulihan psikologis mendapat nilai tertinggi (mean = 3,55), sedangkan aspek privasi dan kerahasiaan mendapat nilai terendah (mean = 2,65). Hambatan utama yang ditemukan meliputi keterbatasan tenaga psikolog, lamanya waktu tunggu, minimnya fasilitas seperti rumah aman, serta kendala geografis yang memengaruhi akses layanan. Layanan pendampingan di P2TP2A telah memberikan manfaat signifikan bagi anak korban kekerasan seksual, terutama dalam pemulihan psikologis. Namun, masih terdapat aspek yang perlu ditingkatkan, terutama terkait perlindungan privasi, percepatan respons, dan ketersediaan sumber daya pendukung. Rekomendasi perbaikan mencakup penguatan sumber daya manusia, peningkatan fasilitas, serta pengembangan strategi untuk menjangkau anak-anak di wilayah terpencil secara lebih merata.

Abstract

The rising prevalence of bacterial resistance to carbapenem antibiotics, particularly meropenem, highlights the urgent need for rapid, selective, and efficient detection methods. This study reports the synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) based on methyl methacrylate (MMA) as selective recognition elements for electrochemical meropenem sensors. Bulk polymerization was employed using MMA as the functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the crosslinker, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as the porogen, and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as the initiator. Both non-imprinted polymers (NIPs) and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were prepared, followed by template extraction through sequential washing with acetonitrile, methanol–acetic acid, and methanol–deionized water to generate specific recognition cavities. Characterization using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) confirmed the success of molecular imprinting, as evidenced by the disappearance of characteristic meropenem bands and the formation of porous cavities in the MIP. Adsorption studies revealed that the MIP exhibited a higher adsorption capacity (8.9940 mg/g) compared to the NIP (3.9904 mg/g), yielding an imprinting factor (IF) of 2.25. Selectivity testing against the competing analyte amoxicillin produced a selectivity coefficient (α) of 1.06, indicating preferential binding toward meropenem despite modest discrimination. These results demonstrate that MMA–EGDMA-based MIPs possess promising potential as selective recognition elements for electrochemical meropenem sensors. The developed material not only contributes to the advancement of functional polymer research but also offers practical opportunities for real-time monitoring of antibiotic levels in clinical and environmental samples.
