Abstract

Background: Infant sleep quality is crucial for growth and development, yet many infants experience sleep disturbances. This study explores the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions, massage and classical music in improving sleep quality in infants.Methods: This study was conducted at Puskesmas Gogagoman in North Sulawesi, involving 48 infants aged 6–12 months, randomly assigned to massage, classical music, or control groups. Using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design, researchers assessed sleep quality before and after interventions. Data were collected using the Brief Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (B-PSQI) and analyzed using non-parametric tests, including the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test and Kruskal-Wallis Test.Results: The major findings of this study indicate that infant massage significantly improved sleep quality compared to both classical music therapy and the control group. After the intervention, the massage group showed the greatest reduction in sleep disturbance scores (mean score dropped from 2.88 to 1.13), followed by the music group (mean score dropped to 1.94), while the control group showed minimal change (mean score of 2.81). Statistical tests confirmed that these differences were significant, highlighting that massage therapy was the most effective intervention for enhancing infant sleep quality.Conclusion: This study concludes that infant massage is more effective than classical music in improving sleep quality in infants. Both interventions were better than no treatment.

Abstract

Background: Vitamin C or ascorbic acid (C₆H₈O₆) is an essential water-soluble compound, widely used in functional beverages due to its antioxidant properties. This compound plays a role in neutralizing free radicals, strengthening the immune system, and helping the absorption of iron in the body. Packaged beverages containing vitamin C can experience degradation due to storage temperature (pH), production process, and the length of product circulation on the market. This impacts degradation of ascorbic acid and decreases the levels of vitamin C in beverage preparations, so accurate and validated analytical methods are needed to ensure the conformity of ascorbic acid levels with the label.Methods: Determination of ascorbic acid levels using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer at maximum wavelength. A standard curve was prepared from a standard vitamin C solution with a concentration of 10–18 ppm, resulting in a regression equation as the basis for calculating sample levels. Method validation included linearity, accuracy, precision, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantitation (LOQ) tests according to quantitative analysis guidelines.Results: The standard curve equation is Y = 0.020x + 0.030Y with r2 = 0.995r indicating good linearity. The vitamin C content in the sample is 1.045 mg/140 mL or 103.5% of the label (1000 mg), still within the Pharmacopoeia limits (90–110%). The LOD and LOQ values are 0.429 ppm and 1.3 ppm, respectively. The precision results show a %RSD of 0.1260% and an accuracy (% recovery) of 103.5%.Conclusion:The results showed that the UV-Vis spectrophotometry method had good linearity, accuracy, and precision. The vitamin C content in the product met standards. Validation parameters demonstrated that this method was consistent in analyzing vitamin C in beverage preparations.

Abstract

Background: Serum is a preparation with a high concentration of active ingredients and low viscosity, which delivers a thin film of active ingredients to the skin surface. The use of Fibraurea tinctoria has been carried out since ancient times by the Dayak, Banjar, and Kutai tribes as a traditional treatment for liver disease, diabetes, and to increase the body's immunity from various causes of disease such as bacteria. Fibraurea tinctoria is believed to be able to ward off the negative effects caused by free radicals such as antioxidants.Methods: This experimental study investigated the antioxidant activity of Fibraurea tinctoria extract serum with varying concentrations of hydroxyethyl cellulose 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0% using the DPPH methods, which is simple, easy, fast, and sensitive, and requires a small sample. This method provides information on the reactivity of the tested compound with a stable radical. Evaluations of the Fibraurea tinctoria extract serum preparation was carried out by observing the results of physical quality tests, including organoleptic tests, homogeneity tests, pH tests, adhesion tests, and spreadability tests. The serum preparation was tested for 3 days and stored at room temperature. Data were analyzed descriptively by comparing it with the Indonesian National Standard.Results: The results showed that the serum extract preparations of Fibraurea tinctoria F1st, F2nd, and F3rd showed varying IC₅₀ values, where lower values ​​indicated stronger antioxidant potential. Formulation F3rd showed the lowest IC₅₀ value (3.11 ppm), F2nd (3.74 ppm) and F1st (4.67 ppm), all of which were stronger than the base (5.11 ppm).Conclusion: In this research, formulations F1st, F2nd, and F3rd had the highest antioxidant activity, with F3rd at a concentration of 2.0%. The identified strong antioxidant activity is the main basis for the potential of Fibraurea tinctoria extract serum as an active antioxidant ingredient.
