Abstract

Introduction: Lemon aromatherapy is a way of relaxing the body that is also useful as a reduction in the pain scale during menstruation. Pain caused by intense uterine contractions and then an increase in prostaglandin levels that occurs in a woman is also known as dysmenorrhoea. The impact of dysmenorrhoea is pain, disruption of physical activity, and decreased learning achievement. A complementary therapy for dysmenorrhoea is lemon aromatherapy. The content of limeone itself has a function or benefit to inhibit prostaglandin levels from increasing so that the content of this limeon reduces the pain felt during dysmenorrhoea, besides that it can also improve emotionally. Objective: The purpose of this study to determine the effect of lemon aromatherapy on the dysmenorrhoea pain scale in class X adolescents at SMK Miftahussalam Ciamis. Method: The method used in this study used quantitative methods with experimental methods and used a one-group pre-test-post-test design on 40 respondents. The total population was 67 female students who experienced dysmenorrhoea during menstruation. Sampling using the accidental sampling method. Result: The results of this study used the Wilcoxon Sigend Rank Test with a meaning level of 95% and obtained a value of p-value 0.000 smaller than the significant value of 0.05. Where the pain scale before being given lemon aromatherapy was mostly in the mild pain category, as many as 20 (24.4%) respondents After giving lemon aromatherapy, the pain scale in respondents decreased by 27 (32.9%). Conclusion: Based on the results of research conducted at SMK Miftahussalam Ciamis, it was found that there was an effect of lemon aromatherapy on the dysmenorrhoea pain scale in class X adolescents at SMK Miftahussalam Ciamis because 0.000 <0.05.

Abstract

The increasing use of plastic materials in daily life has led to a rise in plastic waste, contributing significantly to environmental pollution. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of insects that contribute to the eco-friendly degradation of plastic waste and to evaluate the rate of plastic waste degradation and the waste reduction index (WRI) achieved through insect larvae. The research uses a Randomized Factorial Design, investigating plastics such as styrofoam blocks, low-density polyethylene, polyurethane, polystyrene, and a control. The parameters examined include insect characteristics, larval length and weight, degradation rate, and WRI. Both Zophobas atratus and Tenebrio molitor exhibit the potential for the bioconversion of plastic waste. The weight of T. molitor larvae ranges from 0.07-0.09g, while Z. atratus larvae weigh between 0.51 and 0.60g. The WRI is directly proportional to the reduction rate, with higher reduction rates corresponding to higher WRI values. The results showed that the control using Z. atratus and T. molitor larvae achieved the highest WRI values among all treatments. Among the plastic types studied, styrofoam blocks showed the highest WRI value, indicating that a feeding rate of 1g of plastic per larva per day is optimal for efficiently reducing plastic waste. This supports circular economy initiatives for companies developing insect-based proteins for food, feed, and natural products while advancing sustainable development goals.
