Abstract

In Indonesia’s increasingly competitive pharmacy market, driven by the growth of online platforms and large pharmacy chains, service quality has become a decisive factor in attracting and retaining customers. This study examined how the five SERVQUAL dimensions influence purchasing decisions at Cuan Farma Pharmacy in East Jakarta. A cross-sectional quantitative design was applied with 287 respondents selected through systematic random sampling. Service quality was measured using a validated and reliable questionnaire (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.94) and analyzed with multiple linear regression. The results showed that tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, and empathy had significant positive effects on purchasing decisions (p 0.05), with empathy emerging as the strongest driver. Assurance, however, was not significant (p 0.05), suggesting that customers perceive it as a basic expectation rather than a differentiating factor. Together, service quality dimensions explained 47.2% of the variance in purchasing decisions, while the remainder was influenced by other factors such as price, location, and product availability. These findings underscore the importance of enhancing empathy and responsiveness, supported by reliability and tangible aspects, to strengthen customer loyalty and competitiveness in the pharmacy sector.

Abstract

Carrots contain bioactive compounds such as beta-carotene and vitamin E that protect the skin against oxidative stress, maintain hydration, and delay premature aging. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate scrub lotions containing Daucus carota L. extract at concentrations of 2%, 4%, and 6%. The formulations were tested for physicochemical stability (organoleptic properties, pH, homogeneity, adhesion, and spreadability), moisturizing effect, and consumer acceptability. All formulations were stable, homogeneous, and within the safe pH range. The 6% formulation (Formula III) showed the most pronounced effect, significantly increasing skin hydration to 35% after 12 days of application (p 0.05). These findings demonstrate the potential of Daucus carota L. extract as a natural, safe, and effective active ingredient for moisturizing and anti-aging cosmetic products. To the best of our knowledge, this is among the first studies to systematically evaluate the stability and moisturizing efficacy of carrot extract scrub lotion, although further clinical investigations are required to confirm long-term safety and performance.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health concern linked to oxidative stress and micronutrient deficiencies. This study aimed to develop and evaluate gummy candy formulations containing sweet potato leaf extract (Ipomoea batatas L.) as a functional food candidate for stunting prevention in children. The extract was obtained by maceration, and the formulation was evaluated through phytochemical screening, sensory evaluation, weight uniformity, antioxidant activity using the DPPH method, and mineral content analysis with atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). Phytochemical analysis confirmed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. Sensory evaluation by 30 panelists indicated observable differences between formulations: F0 (control) was preferred in terms of color and taste, while F1 (with extract) presented a darker green-purple appearance and a slightly bitter aftertaste, though texture remained similar in both. Weight uniformity results met pharmacopeial standards, with coefficient of variation values below 5%. Antioxidant activity testing revealed strong radical scavenging potential of the extract (IC₅₀: 29.263 ppm), moderate activity in the F1 gummy (IC₅₀: 108.245 ppm), and very weak activity in F0 (IC₅₀ 200 ppm), compared to ascorbic acid as a positive control (IC₅₀: 6.426 ppm). Mineral analysis of F1 showed iron content of 168.94 ppm and zinc content of 28.05 ppm, contributing significantly to daily nutritional requirements. In conclusion, the incorporation of sweet potato leaf extract into gummy candy provides bioactive compounds with antioxidant activity and essential minerals, while maintaining acceptable sensory quality. These findings support its potential development as a functional food to contribute to stunting prevention strategies in children.

Abstract

This study evaluated the effectiveness of the matK gene as a molecular marker for identifying and establishing phylogenetic relationships among species within the genus Chrysanthemum. DNA sequence data were retrieved from the NCBI database and analysed using MEGA X software with the UPGMA method and 1000 bootstrap replicates. The resulting phylogenetic tree showed clear species differentiation, with strong clustering between C. indicum and C. × morifolium, and distinct divergence among other species such as C. zawadskii, C. chanetii, and C. lucidum. These findings confirm that matK is a reliable DNA barcoding marker for systematic and taxonomic studies of Chrysanthemum, particularly in addressing the limitations of morphological identification caused by phenotypic variation and hybridisation. However, this study was limited to a single marker, and future research should incorporate additional loci or genomic approaches to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of Chrysanthemum phylogeny.

Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic condition characterized by persistent elevation of blood pressure above normal limits, which increases morbidity and mortality risk. A systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg reflects pressure during cardiac contraction, while a diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg reflects pressure during cardiac relaxation. This study aimed to evaluate the use of antihypertensive drugs in Prolanis patients with persistent hypertension at the North Gorontalo City Health Centre. An observational design was applied using secondary data from medical records of 42 patients who received antihypertensive therapy between January and June 2025. Amlodipine was the most commonly prescribed agent in monotherapy, while combinations of two to five drugs were frequently used. The evaluation revealed that drug selection was appropriate (100%), dosage accuracy was 86%, and adherence to usage rules reached 98%, although some inappropriate dosages and usage instructions were still identified. These findings underscore the need for systematic monitoring, regular prescription audits, strengthened verification processes, laboratory monitoring, and patient education to enhance the safety and effectiveness of hypertension management in primary care.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) carries high cardiovascular risk, and optimal antihypertensive therapy is central to slowing progression. This review synthesized randomized controlled trials from the past 10 years in adults with CKD identified via PubMed, focusing on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline, albumin/protein excretion, and cardiovascular outcomes; study selection followed PRISMA. Renin–angiotensin system inhibitors (RASi) consistently lowered blood pressure, reduced albumin/protein excretion, and attenuated eGFR decline versus comparators. In a crossover trial, azilsartan produced greater reductions in urine protein-to-creatinine ratio and faster blood-pressure control than candesartan. Among calcium channel blockers, benidipine (T/L-type) decreased urinary albumin excretion and improved vascular surrogates versus amlodipine (L-type), suggesting class-specific renal effects. Nifedipine GITS combined with candesartan improved blood-pressure control in high-risk subgroups. Adding spironolactone can further reduce albuminuria but increases hyperkalemia risk; co-administration of patiromer enables RASi/MRA intensification under biochemical monitoring. Overall, RASi remain first-line—particularly in albuminuric CKD—while selected combinations with a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker or a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (with a potassium binder when needed) may augment renoprotection. Treatment should be individualized to CKD stage, comorbidities, and laboratory follow-up.
