Abstract

Breastfeeding is one of the most important activities for child development. Breastfeeding is a very important part of the process of growing children who are strong and healthy, both physically and spiritually. Breastfeeding activities not only have an impact on providing nutrition but also on the stimulation of the psychological aspects of the breastfed baby. Islam recommends that a mother breastfeed her baby for two years. Reviewing this explanation, it is necessary to conduct research that integrates religious studies related to the study of Al-Baqoroh verse 233 with chemistry related to the content of breast milk and also with psychology that examines the psychology of children who receive breast milk for 2 years and those who do not get breast milk at all. The research method was carried out by reviewing the interpretation of the Qur'an Surah Al-Baqoroh verse 233 from various experts, examining the chemical content of breast milk from various experts, and carrying out psychiatric observations on 50 school-age children. Based on the results of a literature study related to the study of Al-Baqoroh verse 233 and the chemical analysis of breast milk content with the results of psychological analysis of children who received breast milk for 2 years, it shows that there is an association or relationship. The commands in the Qur'an are in line with the many benefits of breastfeeding, as well as effects on child psychology.

Abstract

Lead is a toxic heavy metal found in the environment. Lead is an abundant, important, and dangerous element. In addition, lead cannot be decomposed, so it easily accumulates in the environment and causes poisoning. Lead poisoning is a condition when a person experiences lead deposition in the body. Lead is a metal-shaped chemical element with a very high toxic content. Lead toxins can affect the function of human organs and systems. A person can experience serious health problems if exposed to small amounts of lead for a long time. It can even be fatal if the level of lead exposure is very high. Lead exposure is particularly dangerous for workers who are directly or indirectly related to it. Therefore, there needs to be an in-depth analysis of lead exposure among some professional workers in Indonesia. The method used in this research is an observational study using a cross-sectional approach and laboratory analysis using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). Based on the research that has been done, it is found that the level of lead (Pb) in the blood of some workers in Indonesia is still below the threshold because it is in accordance with Decree of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 1406/MENKES/SK/IX/2002 concerning Standards for Examination of Pb Levels in Human Biomarker Specimens that the content of lead (Pb) is 0.1–0.25 µg/ml.

Abstract

The method of measuring Hb levels recommended by ICSH uses the HiCN method. However, it has a high risk due to the toxicity of the reagent. Therefore, the determination of Hb has been developed using the SLS method. According to Oshiro and Mansoor, who both stated that there was no significant difference between SLS and HiCN, this method has two distinct procedures. This study aims to determine the comparison between the measurement results of hemoglobin levels using sodium lauryl sulfate with the Oshiro procedure and Mansoor. The research design used is analytical research. The data obtained from the results of measuring Hb levels with the Oshiro and Manshoor procedures was given to students of the Diploma IV Study Program of Medical Laboratory Technology, Rajawali Health Institute batch 2018, which collected 49 people. The sampling technique used was saturated sampling to reduce the error rate in the study. The results of the normality test of the data in this study showed n of the two procedures was 49 mean±SD for the Oshiro procedure 13.09±0.56 and p = 0.200. Meanwhile, the Mansoor procedure had a meanSD of 13.09±0.57 and a p-value of 0.059. Because the probability of both being p > 0.05, the data is declared normally distributed. The results of the average difference test from the data of this study show the mean±SD of the pairwise difference between the Oshiro and Mansoor procedures is 0.002±0.059 and the p value = 0.811. If P > 0.05, then it is stated that there is no significant difference between the two groups. The conclusion of this study is that the result of measuring Hb levels using the SLS procedure is reliable. Oshiro and Mansoor conform to HiCN and there is no significant difference in the mean results.

Abstract

Kelubi fruit is one of the many fruits that grow in Bangka Belitung which has a sour taste. Kelubi fruit contains ascorbic acid, malic acid and oxalic acid. The potency and sour taste of Kelubi fruit can be used as a catalyst in the synthesis of dihydropyrimidinone compounds and activity as antibacterial. Dihydropyrimidinone compounds were synthesized using synthesis with the basic ingredients of benzaldehyde, urea and ethyl acetoacetate using natural catalysts that are more environmentally friendly. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimum volume, time and temperature catalyst used by kelubi fruit to synthesize pyrimidine-derived compounds as antibacterial. The optimization results on the synthesis of dihydropyrimidinone compounds using kelubi fruit water as a catalyst (Eleiodoxa conferta) with a lot of 0.3 mL catalyst, temperature of 50ºC and reaction time of 4 hours with yield of 46.75%. Antibacterial activity of dihydropyrimidinone compounds against Stapylococcus aureus bacteria at a concentration of 10 ppm, 30 ppm including the category and a concentration of 75 ppm including the medium category. Antibacterial activity against Eschericia coli bacteria at concentrations of 30 ppm and 75 ppm was categorized as weak.

Abstract

Dental plaque plays an important role in causing dental caries. In plaque formation, gram-positive coccus bacteria are found, one of which is Streptococcus mutans which can secrete toxins so that tooth cells are damaged. Dental plaque or dental caries can be controlled in number by controlling plaque with antimicrobial agents such as mouthwash. However, the continuous use of antimicrobials can cause side effects for users, including hypersensitivity reactions and resistance, so it is necessary to use natural ingredients as antibacterial alternatives. Therefore, this study used coriander seeds as an alternative to inhibit the growth of Streptococcus mutans bacteria. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of coriander seed extract (Coriandrum sativum L.) with varying concentrations on the growth of Streptococcus mutans bacteria. This study used the diffusion method as a bacterial test method for coriander seed extract. The concentrations tested in this study were 3%, 6% and 9%. Based on the results of the study showed that there was an inhibition zone in the test of coriander seed extract against Streptococcus mutans. At a concentration of 3% the average inhibition zone was 3.7 mm, the concentration of 6% was 4.7 mm and concentration of 9% by 6.06 mm. The results of this study concluded that coriander seed extract (Coriandrum sativum L.) was effective in inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus mutans bacteria.
