Abstract

Nifedipine and amlodipine are both used in clinical practice as antihypertensive options for the management of preeclampsia. Although nifedipine is more commonly recommended, amlodipine is also used in practice, and evidence suggest that both offer comparable outcomes. Existing studies on antihypertensive use in preeclamptic patients have primarily focused on clinical outcomes, with limited evaluation from an economic perspective. Therefore, this study applied a cost minimization approach to identify which antihypertensive is more affordable. A cost-minimization analysis was conducted to compare the total cost between nifedipine and amlodipine. A cost analysis was performed using direct medical costs from a healthcare perspective. Data were collected retrospectively from January 2021 to June 2025 using a purposive sampling among uncomplicated preeclampsia patients. In addition to analyzing patient characteristics and average total cost per patient, a one-way sensitivity analysis was also performed. The results showed that the total cost significantly was lower in the nifedipine group compared to the amlodipine group (IDR 1,467,225 vs. IDR 1,938,051). However, the daily cost of amlodipine therapy use was significantly lower than nifedipine. Medication costs accounted for only 3–4% of the total treatment expenses among patients with preeclampsia. Sensitivity analysis confirmed that medical supply and nursing care cost were the most dominant factors influencing the total treatment cost. These findings indicate that nifedipine use in uncomplicated preeclampsia may contribute to overall cost efficiency in patient management.

Abstract

Non-biodegradable plastic waste is a primary environmental problem at the household level, often ending up littering the environment and polluting rivers due to the lack of an effective waste separation system. This program aimed to provide dedicated plastic waste facilities in every hamlet, while also educating the community on the importance of sorting waste at the source to reduce environmental pollution. The implementation method involved the manufacture and distribution of simple and durable plastic waste bins to every hamlet, complemented by active socialization to residents on waste separation procedures and the potential economic value of the collected plastic waste. A total of 5 waste bins were successfully distributed. The visible impacts include a cleaner village environment, increased resident awareness in waste sorting, and the accumulation of plastic waste ready to be recycled or sold, opening up new economic opportunities. This plastic waste bin program has proven to be a practical and sustainable step. It not only directly addresses the cleanliness issue but also builds the foundation for an integrated waste management system that empowers the community economically and environmentally.

Abstract

Soil erosion in the Parangonan area is a primary concern, threatening land fertility and environmental balance. The available vacant land has great potential to be managed as a conservation effort that can also provide added value for the community. This activity aimed to utilize vacant land by planting trees as a concrete step to prevent erosion, while also greening the environment and creating a resource with sustainable economic value for the residents. The method used was participatory action, where the service team worked directly with the local community to plant avocado tree seedlings in the land provided by the village. A total of 15 avocado tree seedlings were successfully planted. The presence of these trees not only functions to bind the soil and prevent erosion but is also expected to become an economic asset for the community when they bear fruit, as avocados have a fairly high market value.
