Abstract

Since long ago Indonesia used nutritious plants as traditional medicines. Various types of plants in Indonesia can be used as alternative ingredients, one of which is aloe vera. Aloe vera contains saponin and anthraquinone, so aloe vera leaves function as antiseptic and antibacteria. Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive coccus bacteria. This bacterium is often found as a normal germ flora in humans. Staphylococcus aureus can cause infections in humans and animals. This study aims to determine the effect of ethanolic extract of Aloe vera leaves in inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus by using maceration extract method. The concentrations used were 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% with positive control (Erytromycin) and negative control (aquades). The inhibitory zone analysis is done using the table method. Test of ethanol extract of Aloe vera leaves in inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus produced inhibition zones at concentrations of 60%, 80% and 100% with average diameter of 6.94 mm, 6.22 mm and 9.5 mm. The conclusion of this research is the ethanolic extract of Aloe vera leaves can inhibit Staphylococcus aureus in high concentrations

Abstract

Bacterial contamination can come from the environment as a result of food production processes in the form of biological, chemical and foreign matter contaminants that can interfere with, harm and endanger human health. One of the problems in the processed food sector is the high level of bacterial contamination in the food served on the market. The condition of open food is also the main factor causing food to be contaminated with bacteria. The Total Plate Count (ALT) or total plate count (TPC) is an examination used to determine the number of microorganisms both bacteria and fungi using solid media with the final result being colonies. The aim of the study was to determine bacterial contamination and to determine the total plate number (ALT) of bacterial colonies in smoked fish sold at Ngemplak Market, Tulungagung. This research used a Simple Random Design (RAS) method with four treatments and 3 repetitions. The results showed that for menot fish it was 16.2 x 105 cfu/g, for tuna it was 10.5 x 105 cfu/g, for tuna it was 9.4 x 105 cfu/g, for bader fish it was 16.4 x 105 cfu/g. g, and in whitefish 20.5 x 105 cfu/g. The conclusion is that the bacterial contamination of smoked fish sold at the Ngemplak Market using the ALT method exceeds the normal limit value set by SNI 2725:2013.

Abstract

Sex determination is a crucial step in forensic investigations, particularly when skeletal remains are incomplete. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of using finger bones as indicators of sex through a systematic review approach. The literature selection followed PRISMA guidelines, with data retrieved from PubMed and Google Scholar using relevant keywords. Out of 95 identified articles, only 10 met the inclusion criteria and were further analyzed. Findings indicate that the length and proportion of finger bones—especially the ring and little fingers—differ significantly between males and females. Classification accuracy based on phalangeal and metacarpal measurements ranged from 80% to 94%. Additionally, hormonal influences such as testosterone contribute to these morphological differences. These results support the effectiveness of finger bones as an alternative method for sex estimation, particularly when pelvis or skull bones are unavailable in forensic contexts.
