Abstract

Lamiaceae family are rich in natural bioactive compounds, particularly essential oils, with antioxidant, antimicrobial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory activities, making them a potential source of therapeutic agents for managing inflammation, which is a biological response to tissue damage. This review article aims to provide an overview and analyze the potential of terpenoid compounds from the Lamiaceae family as anti-inflammatory agents. A systematic literature search was conducted using ScienceDirect, PubMed, SciFinder Scholar, EBSCO, and Google Books, covering publications from 2014 to 2025. Using relevant keywords, a total of 100 publications were initially identified. After title and abstract screening, 72 articles were selected for eligibility assessment, of which 20 peer-reviewed research articles reporting in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory activities of Lamiaceae terpenoids were analyzed in detail. This study showed that terpene compounds in Lamiaceae essential oils have significant potential to inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators, including cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-17A, and TNF-α), and nitric oxide (NO). These findings strongly support the Lamiaceae family as a promising source of natural anti-inflammatory agents, warranting further investigation through mechanistic studies, in vivo validation, toxicity assessment, and formulation development to advance their potential therapeutic application.

Abstract

The diversity of family medicinal plants in Indonesia represents an important biological resource that supports public health and has considerable potential as a learning resource in biology; however, it has not been optimally utilized in senior high school biodiversity education. This study aims to identify medicinal plant species in Bulusari Village, analyze their distribution, and evaluate their potential as a biology learning resource based on local wisdom. The study employed an exploratory descriptive method with direct field observation and semi-structured interviews. Data collection was conducted using a total sampling technique, in which all medicinal plant species found in home gardens and surrounding village environments were recorded and identified. Data were analyzed descriptively based on botanical classification, distribution patterns, and medicinal uses. The results identified 25 medicinal plant species belonging to 19 families and 6 classes, with Asteraceae as the dominant family. The plants were distributed across cultivated home gardens and wild habitats. These findings indicate that the diversity of family medicinal plants in Bulusari Village has strong potential as a contextual biology learning resource for senior high school, supporting authentic, environment-based, and locally relevant learning.

Abstract

Biodiversity-based learning that utilizes local potential plays an important role in enhancing students’ understanding of biological concepts through direct interaction with real objects in their environment. This study aimed to identify Dendrobium orchid species found in Desa Nglurah, Tawangmangu District, Karanganyar Regency, and to analyze their potential as learning resources for senior high school biology, particularly on biodiversity topics. The research was conducted from May to August 2025 using a descriptive qualitative approach to describe field phenomena based on actual conditions. Data were collected through direct observations at several randomly selected sites and supported by descriptive notes, photographs, and records of morphological characteristics. Species identification was carried out using reference literature and Google Lens. Each encountered Dendrobium species was identified, and variations in flower morphology, color, and form were documented for classification purposes. The results revealed 26 Dendrobium orchid species classified into two main flower types: star-shaped flowers (22 species) and curly-shaped flowers (4 species). Flower color variations included white, pink, purple, golden brown, bluish purple, bright yellow, red, and bright green, most of which resulted from hybridization. These morphological variations reflect species-level biodiversity and align with senior high school biology learning outcomes. Therefore, Dendrobium orchids from Desa Nglurah have strong potential to be utilized as contextual and concrete learning resources. This study recommends further development of the identification results into biology learning media and teaching materials based on local potential.

Abstract

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus continues to increase, alongside a growing burden of central obesity as a major contributing risk factor. The waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) serves as a practical anthropometric indicator for assessing central obesity, whereas glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reflects long-term glycemic control. Nevertheless, the evidence regarding the association between WHR and HbA1c levels remains inconclusive and varies across studies. Research objective to analyze the relationship between waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and HbA1c levels among patients with diabetes mellitus at primary health care centers in Kupang City. This study employed a cross-sectional design. Venous blood samples were collected to measure HbA1c levels, while waist and hip circumferences were measured to obtain the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) values. Data were analyzed using the Chi Square test. Result: The respondents were aged 18–59 years. The Chi-Square analysis indicated a non-significant association, with a p-value of 0.067. There was no significant association between waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and HbA1c levels among patients with diabetes mellitus at community health centers in Kupang City. Glycemic control is influenced not only by anthropometric parameters but also by various other factors, including dietary patterns, sex, physical activity, and lifestyle behaviors.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a non-communicable disease with an increasing global prevalence. Effective monitoring and management are essential to reduce disease burden and prevent complications, including through HbA1c assessment and nutritional status evaluation such as Body Mass Index (BMI) and Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC), which are feasible in primary health care settings. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between nutritional status and HbA1c levels among patients with Diabetes Mellitus at primary health centers in Kupang City. A cross-sectional design was conducted among 69 respondents selected using consecutive sampling at Oepoi, Sikumana, and Bakunase Primary Health Centers. Data were collected through BMI and MUAC measurements and HbA1c examination and analyzed using Pearson correlation test. The results indicated that most respondents were female, overweight based on BMI, had normal MUAC, and uncontrolled HbA1c levels. Statistical analysis showed no significant association between BMI and HbA1c levels (p > 0.05) nor between MUAC and HbA1c levels (p > 0.05). In conclusion, nutritional status was not significantly associated with HbA1c levels among DM patients. Glycemic control may be influenced by factors beyond anthropometric indicators.

Abstract

The digital transformation in the healthcare sector encourages the implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) to improve service quality and the efficiency of patient data management. However, the implementation of EMR at Dasan Lekong Community Health Center (Puskesmas) still faces various technical and managerial challenges. This study aims to identify problems, analyze causal factors, determine priority issues to be addressed, and formulate managerial strategies for EMR development. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach. Data were collected through interviews and direct observations involving eight participants directly engaged in EMR management. Data analysis was conducted using four analytical tools: the HOT-Fit Model to identify Human, Organization, and Technology factors; the Fishbone Diagram to determine root causes; the USG (Urgency, Seriousness, Growth) Method to prioritize issues; and SWOT Analysis to develop managerial strategies. The findings reveal that the main obstacles to EMR implementation include limited infrastructure (computers, servers, and network), frequent system errors or slowdowns, inadequate staff skills, and unclear standard operating procedures (SOPs) with insufficient managerial support. Based on the USG analysis, technology and infrastructure are identified as top priorities, followed by human resource competence enhancement and organizational policy improvement. Recommended strategies include upgrading technological facilities, conducting continuous training, establishing standardized SOPs, and strengthening leadership support.

Abstract

The global shift toward healthy lifestyles has accelerated the development of functional beverages that not only provide basic nutrition but also deliver additional physiological benefits. Fruit-based beverages are widely consumed due to their sensory appeal; however, many commercial products remain high in sugar while lacking sufficient protein and essential micronutrients. Therefore, integrating nutrient-dense natural ingredients such as Spirulina into fruit-based smoothies represents a promising scientific approach to enhance nutritional quality and functional value.This study aimed to develop a mango–Spirulina smoothie as a modern functional beverage and to evaluate consumer acceptance of its sensory attributes. A descriptive qualitative approach was applied. Spirulina sp. was cultivated in the Aquatic Biota Cultivation Laboratory, while smoothie formulation was conducted in the Entrepreneurship Laboratory of Universitas Islam Negeri Palangka Raya. Organoleptic and consumer acceptance tests were carried out with 30 respondents, assessing color, taste, texture, aroma, and overall preference. The results showed that the smoothie exhibited a slightly green color (90%), sweet taste (100%), and smooth texture (90%). Although aroma acceptance was relatively low, with 47% of respondents rating it as not fragrant, overall consumer acceptance was high, with 73% indicating “like” and 27% “very like.” In conclusion, the mango–Spirulina smoothie demonstrates strong potential as a modern functional beverage with good sensory acceptance and prospects for development within the creative economy. Further studies are recommended to improve aroma quality and to conduct quantitative nutritional analysis to support product commercialization.
