Abstract

The repeated use of cooking oil at high temperatures can significantly degrade its quality, as indicated by darkened color, unpleasant odor, elevated peroxide value (PV), and free fatty acid (FFA) levels. This deterioration can contribute to health risks such as obesity, high cholesterol, heart disease, and cancer. This study investigated the effectiveness of combined activated carbon and bentonite adsorbent in reducing peroxide value and free fatty acid levels in used cooking oil. The purification method involved an adsorption process using a combination of activated carbon derived from mangosteen peel waste and bentonite. The carbonization process was carried out at 600°C for 3 hours, followed by chemical activation with H?PO? at varying concentrations of 1M, 3M, and 5M. Bentonite was activated using 5M HCl. The results demonstrated that 5 grams of activated carbon from mangosteen peel, treated with 5M H?PO?, and bentonite activated with 5M HCl, were highly effective in lowering the peroxide value and free fatty acid levels in used cooking oil. Initially, the PV of the untreated used cooking oil was 16 meq O?/kg, reduced to 3.6 meq O?/kg after treatment with the combined adsorbents. Similarly, the FFA content decreased from 2.2% to 0.09%. Both peroxide value and free fatty acid levels met the standards set by SNI 3741:2013. In conclusion, using activated carbon and bentonite is an efficient method for purifying used cooking oil, as their strong adsorption capacity effectively reduces peroxide value and free fatty acid levels.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the biggest health problems in the world because every year there is an increase in cases. In addition to the increasing number, DM is also known to cause many complications which are divided into two, namely acute complications and chronic complications. The emergence of complications and leading to death in DM patients is due to the low self-efficacy and self-care behavior of DM patients themselves. Self-efficacy is an important factor that is defined as a patient's confidence in maintaining and improving his medical condition. Seeing the importance of self-efficacy in the care of DM patients, increasing patient self-efficacy is needed, namely through the Diabetes Self Management Education (DSME) program. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the WhatsApp-based DSME application on the self-efficacy of Type 2 DM patients. This type of research is a Quasy Experiment and the sampling technique used in this study is purposive sampling (Non-Probability sampling). The research design used was Pre-Experiment With Only one Group Pretest - Postest Design. The number of samples was 22 DM type 2 patients. Demographic data collection through questionnaires distributed via google form. The statistical test used was the Paired t test. The results of statistical tests found that there was an effect of WhatsApp-based DSME on the self-efficacy of Type 2 DM patients, with a p value of 0.000 (p <0.05). This shows that there is an effect of WhatsApp-based DSME on the self-efficacy of Type 2 DM patients at the Hamparan Perak Community Health Center.

Abstract

Abstract The collaboration between doctors and nurses plays a crucial role in managing emergency patients at community health centers (Puskesmas). However, a high workload can hinder the effectiveness of teamwork and impact service quality. This study aims to analyze the relationship between workload and the efficacy of doctor-nurse collaboration in Puskesmas. This cross-sectional study involved 120 respondents (50 doctors, and 70 nurses) selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the WISN questionnaire (workload) and CPAT questionnaire (collaboration), and then analyzed using chi-square tests, t-tests, and logistic regression. The results showed that the average workload score for doctors was 75.3 ± 12.5 and for nurses was 82.1 ± 10.8, with a collaboration effectiveness score of 68.4 ± 9.7. A high workload was correlated with lower collaboration effectiveness (p = 0.012; OR = 2.45) and was identified as the main factor reducing collaboration effectiveness (AOR = 3.12; p < 0.001). Another influencing factor was work experience (AOR = 2.08; p = 0.045). Excessive workload poses risks of fatigue, stress, and communication breakdowns within the medical team, ultimately hindering coordination in patient management. The study concludes that a high workload negatively affects the effectiveness of doctor-nurse collaboration in handling emergency patients. To improve service quality in Puskesmas, additional healthcare personnel, optimization of the triage system, and training in communication and teamwork are necessary.

Abstract

Atherosclerosis occurs when plaque accumulates and hardens within the arterial walls, leading to blood vessel blockages and increasing the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). The extracts of butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea L.) and roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) contain flavonoids that possess strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This study aims to assess the effects of the combined extract of butterfly pea and roselle (EKTR) on atherosclerosis biomarkers such as Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecules-1 (VCAM-1), Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and Interleukin-6 (IL-6). The research employed a True Experimental Laboratory approach using a Post-Test Control Group Design. The subjects were 36 female Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus L.), randomly divided into six groups through a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Data were collected on the levels of VCAM-1, ICAM-1, and IL-6 in the serum of obese white rats, measured using an ELISA photometer. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 18, with statistical evaluation performed via one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test. The results showed that increasing doses of EKTR led to significant reductions in atherosclerosis biomarkers such as VCAM-1, ICAM-1, and IL-6 compared to the positive control and other groups. At a dose of 500 mg/kg BW, group F3 recorded IL-6 levels of 30.49 ± 1.60 ng/mL, VCAM-1 level of 29.42 ± 2.58 ng/mL, and ICAM-1 levels of 28.42 ± 1.72 ng/mL. In conclusion, butterfly pea and roselle, rich in flavonoids with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, are effective as traditional remedies for reducing atherosclerosis biomarkers and for preventing and treating coronary heart disease (CHD) at an optimal dose of 500 mg/kg BW.

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.
