Abstract

This research aimed to determine the effect of differences in butterfly pea flower particle size and citric acid concentration on butterfly pea flower extraction, including yield and pH value analysis. The results showed that the particle size of butterfly pea flowers and the concentration of citric acid affected the yield. pH analysis showed that only treatments with different concentrations of citric acid affected the pH of butterfly pea flower extract. The highest yield in the treatment (7.52) and the highest pH (4,74). The above treatment can only be used for acidic food products, and citric acid can be replaced with food additives that lower the pH value but do not affect the taste so that it can be applied to all types of food.

Abstract

Stunting is a form of growth failure (growth faltering) due to the accumulation of nutritional deficiencies that last for a long time starting from pregnancy until the age of 24 months. Optimal nutritional intake for newborns by providing exclusive breast milk as the main food until the age of 6 months and then continuing until the age of 2 years accompanied by appropriate and high-quality complementary foods will prevent stunting in toddlers. One important effort to prevent stunting is by empowering the community, especially parents, to pay attention to the intake of breast milk and complementary foods for their babies. By providing knowledge to the public about the importance of correct breastfeeding and MPASI, it is hoped that the public can change their behavior to prioritize exclusive breastfeeding and correct MPASI. This community service method uses an educational approach through outreach with a total of 139 participants who live in five villages in Jatigede District, Sumedang Regency, West Java. Socialization involving experts gave results that there was an increase in participants' knowledge as measured using pre-test and post-test instruments. The percentage of participants who experienced an increase in knowledge from 139 participants, the results obtained were 118 participants (85%) experienced an increase in knowledge about breast milk and complementary foods, and 19 people (14%) had the same knowledge before and after socialization while 2 people (1%) gained The score decreased during the post-test due to several factors, including some participants who did not have time to complete the post-test questionnaire due to having to do other work

Abstract

his study aims to analyze the influence of capital structure, financial performance, and macroeconomic conditions on firm value (Tobin's Q) in companies included in the Kompas 100 index (100 companies with good liquidity and large market capitalization) listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2018 and 2022. A total of 50 companies with historical data for 5 years were analyzed amounting to 250 observational data. The data analysis method used is panel data regression analysis processed using Eviews software version 10. The results show that financial performance has a significant positive effect on firm value, and capital structure has a negative but not significant effect on firm value. Among the macroeconomic variables, inflation has a negative influence while interest rates have a positive influence, both of which are significant on firm value. However, GDP growth shows an influence that is not significant towards changes in firm value. The determinants of firm value are very complex thus each company needs to identify the key factors influencing them. It is recommended for further research to include corporate governance and firm growth variables.
