Abstract

Young women can experience body dissatisfaction due to high environmental beauty standards. Individuals should have a positive perception of everything in their lives, including their body shape. Analyzing the effect of positive self-talk on decreasing the level of body dissatisfaction in young women. The research design was a quasi experiment using a nonrandomized control group pre-post test design approach. Sampling used a non-probability sampling technique with a purposive sampling approach. The number of samples is 60 respondents which are divided into treatment and control groups. The instrument used was a body dissatisfaction questionnaire. Analysis using the Wilcoxon Test and Mann Whitney Test. The results of this study showed a significant difference between the treatment groups before and after the intervention. Positive self talk will stimulate the work of the ventromedial prefrontal ventricular cortex area, positive messages received will increase the nerve response in the VMPFC which can lead to cognitive changes and positive behavior. There is a positive effect of self-talk on decreasing the level of body-body reduction in young women.

Abstract

Bidara arab leaves (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam.) are known to contain bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, and alkaloids, which contribute to their antibacterial activity. These secondary metabolites make bidara arab leaves a promising natural source for antibacterial agents. In this study, the ethanol extract of bidara arab leaves was utilized and applied in the formulation of herbal liquid soap. The extraction process was carried out using the maceration method with 70% ethanol as the solvent. The extract was then evaluated for its Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) using the agar diffusion method against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Furthermore, the extract was incorporated into a liquid soap formulation prepared using the hot process method. The evaluation of the formulation included organoleptic properties, pH, specific gravity, free alkali, total fatty acid, microbial contamination, viscosity, and foam stability according to SNI 06-4085-1996.The results showed that the extract yield was 12.59% with an MIC value of 5.5%, which inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus but not Escherichia coli. The formulated liquid soap met most quality parameters, except for pH and free alkali. Additionally, antibacterial testing showed an inhibition zone of 10.59 mm, indicating that the formulation exhibited effective antibacterial activity.
