Abstract

Background: The primary reason for the immiscibility of polyethylene (PE) and polyamide (PA) lies in their differing polarities and surface tension energies. Objective: This study aims to investigate the impact of LDPE-g-AO compatibilizer on PE/PA blends. Method: The method employed involves blending using an internal mixer. Results: SEM analysis reveals that the morphology of PE/PA blends without LDPE-g-AO compatibilizer is non-homogeneous and incompatible. However, the addition of 2% LDPE-g-AO compatibilizer results in improved compatibility of the PE/PA blend, characterized by homogeneous and compatible surface adhesion properties, with no visible voids. Conclusion: In conclusion, this research underscores the effectiveness of LDPE-g-AO compatibilizer in bridging two previously immiscible polymers, PE and PA, thereby enhancing their overall compatibility

Abstract

The repeated use of cooking oil at high temperatures can significantly degrade its quality, as indicated by darkened color, unpleasant odor, elevated peroxide value (PV), and free fatty acid (FFA) levels. This deterioration can contribute to health risks such as obesity, high cholesterol, heart disease, and cancer. This study investigated the effectiveness of combined activated carbon and bentonite adsorbent in reducing peroxide value and free fatty acid levels in used cooking oil. The purification method involved an adsorption process using a combination of activated carbon derived from mangosteen peel waste and bentonite. The carbonization process was carried out at 600°C for 3 hours, followed by chemical activation with H?PO? at varying concentrations of 1M, 3M, and 5M. Bentonite was activated using 5M HCl. The results demonstrated that 5 grams of activated carbon from mangosteen peel, treated with 5M H?PO?, and bentonite activated with 5M HCl, were highly effective in lowering the peroxide value and free fatty acid levels in used cooking oil. Initially, the PV of the untreated used cooking oil was 16 meq O?/kg, reduced to 3.6 meq O?/kg after treatment with the combined adsorbents. Similarly, the FFA content decreased from 2.2% to 0.09%. Both peroxide value and free fatty acid levels met the standards set by SNI 3741:2013. In conclusion, using activated carbon and bentonite is an efficient method for purifying used cooking oil, as their strong adsorption capacity effectively reduces peroxide value and free fatty acid levels.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic condition with increasing prevalence worldwide, including in Indonesia, where the number of affected individuals reached 10.7 million in 2021. One of the main factors contributing to the rising risk of DM in adolescents is obesity, often influenced by unhealthy lifestyle habits. Therefore, education on maintaining an ideal body weight is essential to prevent DM in this age group. This Community Service Program aims to educate the students of SMA Swasta Al-Azhar Medan about the importance of maintaining an ideal body weight to prevent DM. The program combines lectures, interactive discussions, and hands-on activities. It includes a pre-test, educational content delivery, practical exercises, and a post-test. 100 students participated, covering topics such as the relationship between body weight and DM, healthy eating habits, physical activity, and how to monitor weight and calculate Body Mass Index (BMI). The results show significant improvements in students' knowledge about DM, healthy eating, and physical activity. Knowledge of DM increased by 45.5%, understanding of healthy eating improved by 26.1%, and awareness of physical activity grew by 24.3%. Additionally, the average BMI of students decreased by 2.4%, indicating positive lifestyle changes. In conclusion, the program successfully improved students' understanding and encouraged behavioral changes to prevent DM. The increase in knowledge, healthier eating habits, greater physical activity, and reduction in BMI highlight the effectiveness of the educational approach. This program can potentially serve as a model for promoting healthy lifestyles to prevent DM in adolescents.

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogenic bacterium commonly associated with serious human infections, leading to various health complications. Zinc oxide (ZnO) is well known for its antibacterial properties, while Organo-ZnO, a modified form of ZnO incorporating organic compounds, exhibits even stronger antibacterial potential. Due to their therapeutic properties, Taro leaves (Colocasia esculenta L.) have a long history of traditional use for treating various ailments, including burns and boils. This study aims to identify the active compounds in taro leaves that function as antibacterial agents and to evaluate the combined antibacterial activity of taro leaf extract with ZnO and Organo-ZnO against Staphylococcus aureus. The research was conducted as a laboratory experiment. Phytochemical screening revealed that the taro leaf extract contains alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins, which may contribute to its antibacterial effects. Antibacterial activity tests against Staphylococcus aureus showed inhibition zones of 8.5 mm for taro leaf extract, 8.8 mm for 5% ZnO, and 10 mm for 5% Organo-ZnO. The combination of taro leaf extract with 5% ZnO resulted in an inhibition zone of 9.1 mm, while the combination with 5% Organo-ZnO exhibited the highest inhibition zone of 10.7 mm. These results suggest that the ethanol extract of taro leaves possesses significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, and its effectiveness is further enhanced when combined with ZnO and Organo-ZnO. The combination with Organo-ZnO demonstrates the greatest antibacterial potential, indicating its promise for further development in antibacterial applications.

Abstract

Hypertensive crisis is an emergency condition that requires rapid treatment to prevent complications such as heart failure, stroke, or other organ damage. The speed of response of health workers in primary care is a crucial factor in handling this condition. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the speed of response of health workers in handling patients with hypertensive crisis and to identify the factors that influence it. Research methods: Quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitative data were obtained from patient medical records, while qualitative data were collected through interviews with health workers in primary care facilities. The parameters measured included initial assessment time, diagnosis time, treatment initiation time, and referral time if needed. The results showed that the average initial assessment time was 8 minutes (ideal ?5 minutes), diagnosis time 15 minutes (ideal ?10 minutes), treatment initiation time 12 minutes (ideal ?10 minutes), and referral time 25 minutes (ideal ?20 minutes). Several stages of treatment are still delayed due to limited medical personnel, lack of training, and suboptimal referral systems and standard protocols. Discussion: shows that health workers need further training in recognizing and handling hypertensive crises effectively. Optimizing the triage system and improving referral coordination are also important factors in accelerating treatment. Conclusion: although several aspects of service are quite good, improvements are still needed in the primary health care system so that patients with hypertensive crises receive faster and more appropriate treatment, thereby reducing the risk of complications and mortality.

Abstract

Emergency services at Community Health Centers (Puskesmas) play a crucial role in providing first aid to patients in critical conditions before they are referred to higher-level healthcare facilities. However, the implementation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for emergency services still faces various challenges, such as a lack of understanding among healthcare personnel, limited resources, high workloads, and insufficient coordination with referral hospitals. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify the main challenges in the implementation of emergency SOPs at Puskesmas and to formulate solutions that can improve their effectiveness. The method used in this research is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach, involving interviews and observations with healthcare workers in several Puskesmas. The results show that the majority of healthcare personnel have not fully understood and optimally applied the SOPs due to a lack of training and simulation. Additionally, the limited availability of medical equipment and healthcare staff has led to delays in handling emergency cases. High workloads also become a key factor influencing adherence to the SOPs. The discussion indicates that to overcome these challenges, regular training and simulations, increased availability of medical equipment and healthcare personnel, as well as stricter monitoring and evaluation systems are necessary. Strengthening coordination with referral hospitals also becomes a strategic step to expedite the patient referral process. In conclusion, with the proper implementation of solutions, the SOPs for emergency services at Puskesmas can be improved, making emergency services more effective and efficient in saving patients' lives

Abstract

Performance problems have become a serious problem for any agency at this time, and good performance certainly guarantees good service quality. Therefore, providing training and career development to employees is very important to carry out organizational goals effectively and efficiently. Based on preliminary research at the Perbaungan Plus Health Center, it showed that midwives' career development obstacles were: Inadequate administrative support, poor performance by midwives, and lack of guidance in career development. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors related to the career development of midwives at the Perbaungan Plus Health Center, Serdang Bedagai Regency. The research design used in this research is an analytical survey using a cross-sectional study. The research population consisted entirely of midwives and numbered 43 people using a total-sampling technique with 43 people. Data collection methods include primary data, secondary and tertiary. The data analysis used was univariate and bivariate analysis using the chi-square statistical test. The results showed that employee personality p(0.001), external factors p(0.001), compensation structure p(0.004), and organizational politics p(0.024) are related to the midwife's career development. The relationship between employees and organizations does not depend on the development of the midwifery profession p(0.431). The results of the study concluded that employee personality, external factors, and internal compensation systems and policies are related to midwifery professional development, while employee relations with organizations are related to midwifery professional development, meaning not. It is hoped that the Puskesmas can develop policies that focus on midwives in all aspects, including training in good organizational management and professional responsibility, improving employee welfare and creating a comfortable work environment.
