Abstract

Heavy metal contamination of traditional herbal medicine (jamu) is a threat to humans, especially at levels above known threshold concentrations. Traditional herbal medicine found in Banda Aceh City – Indonesia, polluted by heavy metals cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and mercury (Hg) was performed. Heavy metal analysis used Flame - Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (FAAS) and Chemical Vapor Generation - Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (CVG - AAS) methods. The validation of the method was performed to obtain more accurate heavy metal analysis results for the samples. Heavy metal contamination, especially Pb metal, with concentrations of 4.32 ± 0.14 mg/Kg to 29.25 ± 0.24 mg/Kg. The Cd metal contamination was only found in herbal medicine sample E with a concentration of 0.80 ± 0.02 mg/Kg, above the threshold. The Hg metal contamination was also found with concentrations of 0.20 ± 0.01 to 2.14 ± 0.06 mg/Kg, and some were not detected. The government should be very concerned about stopping the distribution of herbal medicine that can be harmful to health and should inspect drug stores that still sell herbs that do not have established standards.

Abstract

Background: Jamu pegal linu (traditional Indonesian herbal medicine for muscle and joint pain) is widely consumed to relieve muscle and bone discomfort. However, there are concerns about heavy metal contamination, particularly lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg), in some products circulating in Banda Aceh City. Such contamination poses serious health risks, including organ damage and poisoning, necessitating thorough analysis to ensure product safety. Objective: This study aimed to detect and measure Pb and Hg levels in jamu pegal linu samples sold on Diponegoro Street, Banda Aceh, and compare them with the safety limits set by the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority (BPOM RI). Methods: A total of 23 samples were qualitatively analyzed using KI, NaOH, and HCl reagents (for Pb) and HNO₃ and KI (for Hg). Positive samples were further analyzed quantitatively using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). Method validation included linearity, precision, accuracy, LoD, and LoQ assessments. Results: Qualitative testing revealed Pb and Hg contamination in 12 samples. Pb levels ranged from 1.45–9.17 mg/kg (below BPOM’s threshold of ≤10 mg/kg), while Hg levels ranged from 0.14–1.37 mg/kg, with six samples exceeding the safe limit (≤0.5 mg/kg). The highest Hg concentration (1.37 mg/kg) was found in an unregistered product. Conclusion: Most jamu pegal linu products in Banda Aceh contain heavy metals, particularly Hg, at unsafe levels. Strict regulatory oversight, especially for unregistered products, is crucial to safeguard public health.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the influence of leadership style and work enthusiasm on employee performance, with work motivation as an intervening variable. The study employs a quantitative research approach, utilizing Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) for data analysis. The research was conducted at CV. Harsa Prima, a company engaged in multimedia technology, with a total sample of 42 employees. The findings indicate that leadership style positively affects work motivation, with a coefficient value of 0.609, and also positively impacts employee performance, with a coefficient value of 0.375. Additionally, work motivation has a positive effect on employee performance, with a coefficient value of 0.442. Furthermore, leadership style positively influences work morale, with a coefficient value of 0.44, while work motivation also significantly impacts work morale, with a coefficient value of 0.51. The study further reveals that work motivation significantly mediates the relationship between leadership style and work morale, as indicated by a T-statistic of 1.862 (>1.647) and a P-value of 0.032 (1.647) and a P-value of 0.036 (

Abstract

Minyak kelapa murni (virgin coconut oil) VCO adalah minyak kelapa murni yang proses produksinya tidak melalui tahapan RBD (Refined, Blades dan Deodorized). VCO dibuat tanpa proses perebusan atau penggorengan seperti yang biasa dilakukan oleh kebanyakan masyarakat Indonesia. Pembuatan VCO yang berkualitas baik, dibuat dengan proses yang sederhana namun memerlukan pengawasan kualitas yang tinggi, mulai dari pemilihan bahan, kebersihan peralatan yang dipakai, kebersihan dan kesehatan pembuat minyak. Pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat dilakukan dengan metode ceramah, demonstrasi dan tanya jawab. Hasil dari pengabdian ini adalah menambah pengetahuan masyarakat dan mampu mengolah hasil kelapa menjadi VCO yang bernilai ekonomis sehingga mampu meningkatkan ekonomi warga setempat. Berdasarkan hasil survey sekitar 60% tingkat pengetahuan warga terhadap VCO adalah tinggi dan 30% warga telah mencoba membuat secara mandiri.

Abstract

Corn is a popular ingredient in facial skin care products. Corn contains thiamine, which can dry wounds and eliminate acne scars that appear as holes on the face or black spots. Corn starch is made into a gel mask with the gelling ingredient hidroxy prophyl methyl cellulose (HPMC). This research intends to establish if a gel mask manufactured from sweet corn starch (Zea mays saccharata) can meet the requirements of the physical quality test assessment results, as well as the stability requirements. The research approach is experimental, employing a sample gathering methodology known as purposive sampling. The evaluation of gel mask preparations includes evaluating the physical quality of the preparations, irritant testing on 10 participants, and drying time tests on the preparations. The evaluation of the preparations revealed that all gel mask formulations were semi-solid gels with a yellowish white color and a distinct corny smell. The results were homogeneous, with an average pH of 7.5–7.7, spreadability of 5–7 cm, and viscosity of 22133-67566. The preparation also exhibited stable stability at room temperature and did not irritate volunteers' skin. Therefore, both the stability requirements and the physical quality test assessment results are satisfied by the preparation.
