Abstract

Cardamom (Amomum compactum) is empirically used as a cough medicine by using its seeds and fruits. Cardamom seeds have been shown to have mucolytic activity at a concentration of 0.8%, while cardamom fruit has not been studied. This study aimed to determine the mucolytic activity of cardamom fruit decoction at variation concentrations. Mucolytic activity tests were carried out in vitro on duck egg albumens at 3%, 6%, and 12% variation concentrations of cardamom fruit decoction. N-acetylcysteine 0.1% was positive control, while phosphate buffer and Tween 80 were negative controls. The mucolytic activity was determined based on the viscosity value measured by flow time using an Ostwald viscometer and density measurement using a pycnometer. Data from each group were analyzed using SPSS with parametric One-Way ANOVA and Post Hoc tests. The results showed that cardamom fruit decoction at concentrations of 3%, 6%, and 12% had values that were not significantly different from N-acetylcysteine (p>0.05) and there was no significant difference (p>0.05) between each concentration group. Accordingly, the research concludes that cardamom fruit decoction at concentrations of 3%, 6%, and 12% has mucolytic activity comparable to N-acetylcysteine.

Abstract

Stunting is a condition where a child's physical state, especially height, differs from other children of the same age. Stunting can occur in children starting from the womb due to insufficient nutritional intake or infectious diseases. Kelayu Jorong Subdistric is one of the areas in East Lombok that is currently addressing the issue of stunting, based on survey information obtained on November 29, 2023. Therefore, through the Community Empowerment Real Work Lecture (KKN PMD) activity by Mataram University, a socialization activity is being carried out as an initial step to address and prevent stunting incidents in Kelayu Jorong Subdistric. The methods implemented include: 1) Conducting a census of the number of children experiencing stunting, 2) Monitoring stunting, 3) Socialization with implementation consisting of preparation and determination of target targets, making and sending letters, preparing event and activity equipment, and implementing socialization on stunting management at the office of Kelayu Jorong Subdistric. The results obtained show that in Kelurahan Kelayu Jorong, a total of 17 children are experiencing stunting. Based on information obtained from the community leader and interviews with several mothers who have stunted children, it is known that the community in Kelayu Jorong gets water from wells and often the water is not boiled before consumption. Therefore, socialization activities are carried out with the theme of clean and healthy living behavior as a preventive and treatment effort. This socialization activity receives enthusiasm from the community. This activity can provide understanding to the community about the importance of maintaining a balanced diet and clean and healthy living behavior, with the hope that the health level of children in Kelayu Jorong Subdistrict can be improved.
