Abstract

Inflation remains a critical macroeconomic issue with profound implications for developing regions, particularly Kupang City in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. As a structurally vulnerable area with high dependency on external supply chains and limited local production capacity, inflation has deepened existing socio-economic challenges. This study aims to explore how rising inflation affects the social and economic conditions of communities in Kupang and to assess its implications for national economic policy formulation. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research involved semi-structured interviews with 25 informants—including low-income households, informal workers, micro-entrepreneurs, and local policymakers—alongside field observations and analysis of secondary data from official sources. Thematic analysis was applied to identify key patterns related to inflation’s local impact. The results reveal that inflation has led to declining purchasing power, reduced food quality and quantity, disrupted children’s education, and increased reliance on short-term aid. Micro and small enterprises face shrinking profit margins and operational closures due to rising input costs. Local authorities report limited capacity to respond effectively due to centralized economic governance. These findings affirm Keynes’ consumption theory and cost-push inflation dynamics, emphasizing that national inflation policy often overlooks regional disparities. The study recommends the development of context-sensitive policies such as improving local supply chains, empowering small enterprises, and expanding targeted welfare programs to build economic resilience in peripheral regions like Kupang.

Abstract

Acne vulgaris is a common skin disorder that can significantly affect quality of life. Although conventional antibiotic treatments are commonly used, herbal alternatives such as Eleutherine sp. (Dayak onion) bulb extract may offer therapeutic options for acne vulgaris. This study is a literature review that evaluates the antibacterial activity of Dayak onion bulb extract against bacteria that cause acne vulgaris. The search was conducted in the ScienceDirect, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Garuda databases, focusing on in vitro studies published in the last 10 years. Of the 8 articles analyzed, Dayak onion bulb extract was effective against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Propionibacterium acnes. The best antibacterial activity was obtained from extracts at high concentrations with several methods. Temperature and incubation duration also affected the results. Active compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, triterpenoids, steroids, and tannins contributed to the antibacterial effectiveness of this extract. Dayak onion bulb extract showed strong antibacterial effectiveness, making it a potential alternative for treating acne vulgaris. This extract as an additional therapy offers a safe option as a natural acne vulgaris treatment solution. Keywords: acne vulgaris, antibacterial, Eleutherine DOI : 10.35990/mk.v8n4.p446-457
