Abstract

The pursuit of effective and natural skincare solutions has led to the exploration of plant-based ingredients. Red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) peel, rich in flavonoids and antioxidants, presents a promising avenue for developing moisturizing skincare products. This study aimed to evaluate the moisturizing efficacy and stability of an essence sheet mask formulated with red dragon fruit peel extract. Red dragon fruit peel extract was obtained using ethanol extraction. Essence sheet masks were formulated with varying concentrations of the extract (0%, 3%, 5%, and 7%). The physical properties (organoleptic characteristics, pH, viscosity, and homogeneity), stability (cycling test), skin irritation potential (patch test), and moisturizing efficacy (corneometer measurements) of the sheet masks were assessed. The hedonic attributes of the masks were also evaluated through a consumer perception study. The formulated essence sheet masks exhibited desirable physical properties and were stable under accelerated storage conditions. No skin irritation was observed in the patch test. The sheet masks containing red dragon fruit peel extract demonstrated a significant increase in skin hydration compared to the control group. The consumer perception study indicated high acceptance of the masks, particularly those with higher extract concentrations. The findings suggest that red dragon fruit peel extract can be effectively incorporated into essence sheet masks to enhance skin hydration. The developed sheet masks were well-tolerated and exhibited good stability, making them promising candidates for natural moisturizing skincare products.

Abstract

Hydrodynamic vortex turbines (HVTs) offer a promising solution for harnessing renewable energy from low-head water sources. The inlet notch angle, a critical geometric parameter, significantly influences the flow patterns within the turbine basin and, consequently, its overall performance. This study investigates the impact of notch angle variation on HVT efficiency and flow characteristics using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. A 3D model of an HVT was developed and simulated using ANSYS Fluent. The notch angle was varied between 7° and 15° in 2° increments. The k-ω SST turbulence model was employed to capture the complex flow behavior. Velocity and pressure contours were analyzed to understand the flow patterns, while turbine performance metrics, including torque, power output, and efficiency, were computed. The results revealed a strong correlation between notch angle and turbine performance. Increasing the notch angle led to higher flow velocities in the turbine basin, resulting in enhanced vortex formation and increased energy extraction. Consequently, both power output and efficiency improved with larger notch angles. The optimal notch angle, balancing efficiency and practical considerations, was identified. This study demonstrates the critical role of notch angle in HVT design. CFD simulations provide valuable insights into the flow dynamics and performance optimization of these turbines. The findings contribute to the advancement of HVT technology for sustainable micro-hydro power generation.

Abstract

Spray gel is a gel system applied through a spray pump, producing small or large liquid droplets. Cordyline fruticosa (L.) A. Cheval, commonly known as Andong Merah, is a plant with various medicinal properties, including wound healing activity attributed to its flavonoid content. This research aimed to formulate and evaluate the physicochemical properties of a spray gel containing Cordyline fruticosa leaf extract for topical delivery, focusing on the effects of different concentrations of Carbopol 940 as a gelling agent and sorbitol as a humectant. Cordyline fruticosa leaf extract was obtained by maceration using 96% ethanol. Three spray gel formulations were prepared, varying the concentrations of Carbopol 940 (0.4 g, 0.6 g, and 0.8 g) and sorbitol (5 ml, 7.5 ml, and 10 ml). The prepared spray gels were then subjected to physicochemical evaluation, including organoleptic tests (color, odor, and consistency), homogeneity tests, pH measurements, viscosity measurements, spray pattern analysis, and adhesion tests. All spray gel formulations exhibited acceptable physicochemical properties. The formulations were homogeneous, with a pH within the acceptable range for topical applications. The viscosity and adhesion properties varied with the concentrations of Carbopol 940 and sorbitol. The spray pattern analysis revealed a circular spread pattern, with the pressure required for spraying influenced by the viscosity of the formulation. The spray gel formulations containing Cordyline fruticosa leaf extract demonstrated good physicochemical qualities, indicating their potential suitability for topical delivery. Further studies are recommended to optimize the formulation for enhanced stability and therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with limited access to healthcare. Telemedicine and remote monitoring technologies offer potential solutions for early detection and management of PPH. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of these technologies in reducing PPH rates. A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science was conducted for studies published between 2013 and 2024 investigating the impact of telemedicine and remote monitoring interventions on PPH rates. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies with a control group were included. The primary outcome was the incidence of PPH (blood loss ≥500 ml after vaginal delivery or ≥1000 ml after cesarean delivery). Pooled risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using a random-effects model. Publication bias was assessed using funnel plot asymmetry and Egger's test. Six studies involving 4200 women met the inclusion criteria. The pooled analysis demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in PPH rates in the intervention groups compared to the control groups (RR 0.56; 95% CI 0.47-0.67; p<0.00001). The funnel plot was symmetrical, and Egger's test was not statistically significant (p=0.45), suggesting no evidence of publication bias. Telemedicine and remote monitoring interventions are associated with a significant reduction in PPH rates. These findings support the integration of these technologies into postpartum care to improve maternal outcomes, particularly in resource-constrained settings.

Abstract

Jamu, Indonesia's traditional herbal medicine, holds significant cultural and medicinal value. However, the adulteration of jamu with undeclared synthetic drugs like dexamethasone and paracetamol poses a severe public health risk. This study aimed to qualitatively identify these drugs in jamu products circulating in Kudus City, Indonesia. Ten jamu samples, representing various brands and forms (powder, capsules), were purchased from local depots in Kudus. Samples were selected based on their indication for pain relief or anti-inflammatory properties, lack of BPOM (Indonesia's Food and Drug Authority) registration, or discrepancies between the registration number on the packaging and the BPOM database. Organoleptic analysis (odor, taste, color, form) was performed, followed by microscopic analysis to identify natural ingredients using their characteristic fragments. Finally, infrared spectroscopy was employed to detect the presence of dexamethasone and paracetamol. Nine out of ten samples displayed BPOM registration numbers that were not verifiable in the official BPOM database, while one sample lacked any registration number. Organoleptic analysis revealed that six samples exhibited distinct herbal odors, often associated with bitter-tasting jamu. Microscopic analysis confirmed the presence of 1-4 natural ingredients in each sample. Notably, infrared spectroscopy identified paracetamol in one sample. In conclusion, the study revealed a concerning trend of unregistered jamu products and adulteration with undeclared paracetamol in Kudus City. This highlights the need for stricter regulatory measures, enhanced surveillance, and public awareness campaigns to ensure the safety and efficacy of jamu.

Abstract

In today's digital landscape, the protection of sensitive data from unauthorized access is a critical concern for organizations of all sizes. Robust access control mechanisms are essential for maintaining data security and preventing breaches. This study conducted a comparative analysis of three widely used access control methods: Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and Strong Passwords. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining a quantitative analysis of simulated data with a qualitative review of recent literature. The Access Control Simulation Environment (ACSE) was developed to generate data on the effectiveness of each access control method in preventing unauthorized access attempts. The qualitative component involved a systematic review of Scopus-indexed publications from 2018 to 2024, focusing on the strengths, weaknesses, and best practices associated with each method. The simulation data revealed that MFA provided the highest level of protection against unauthorized access, followed by RBAC and then Strong Passwords. The qualitative analysis identified key strengths and weaknesses of each method, highlighting the importance of contextual factors in selecting the most appropriate access control mechanism. In conclusion, the findings underscore the need for a layered approach to access control, combining multiple methods to achieve optimal security. While MFA offers the strongest protection, RBAC and Strong Passwords remain crucial components of a comprehensive security strategy. The study provides practical recommendations for organizations seeking to implement and optimize access control mechanisms to mitigate the risk of unauthorized data access.
