<![CDATA[This study aims to formulate a cream containing Rhaphidophora pinnata (L.f) Schott leaf extract and evaluate its antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923. The background of this research is rooted in the potential of Indonesian medicinal plants and the increasing cases of antibiotic resistance, which drives the development of natural antibacterial agents. A quantitative experimental laboratory method was employed. The study population was the Rhaphidophora pinnata plant from Sragen, with a sample of 8 kg of fresh leaves. Antibacterial activity was tested using the disc diffusion method, and data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using One-Way ANOVA with SPSS. The results showed that cream formulations at 10%, 30%, and 40% concentrations had physical qualities that met standards, including a safe pH (6.0–6.8) and stable viscosity. The antibacterial test demonstrated the highest activity at the 40% concentration, producing the largest inhibition zone against S. aureus. However, its efficacy was still lower than that of the positive control (gentamicin cream). In conclusion, R. pinnata leaf extract has the potential to be developed as a natural antibacterial cream, and further research is needed for stability and clinical testing.]]>

<![CDATA[This study investigates the effect of infant massage on weight gain among infants aged 4 to 6 months in the Kepenuhan Community Health Center area. The research aims to evaluate whether massage therapy can serve as a cost-effective, non-pharmacological intervention to promote healthy growth in resource-limited settings. A quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach was employed, involving 20 infants selected through saturated sampling. Data were collected using standardized digital infant scales with 0.01 kg precision, following a structured protocol for massage administered by trained healthcare personnel. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and paired sample t-tests to determine the significance of weight change pre- and post-intervention. Results revealed a significant mean weight increase of 0.435 kg (p = 0.000). The findings support the hypothesis that infant massage positively influences weight gain in this age group. The study concludes that infant massage is an effective, accessible strategy to enhance growth and development, with implications for integrating it into routine primary healthcare practices. Future research should consider larger samples and control groups to strengthen evidence.]]>

<![CDATA[This study addresses the challenge of optimizing the blow molding process for producing 600ml PET bottles, which is critical to ensuring consistent product quality and manufacturing efficiency amid increasing industry demands. The primary objective is to identify the optimal process parameters—air pressure, heating temperature, and stretching time—that minimize defect rates. Employing a quantitative experimental approach, the research utilizes the Taguchi method with an orthogonal array L9 (3³) design to systematically investigate the effects of these parameters. The population comprises PET bottles produced under varying process conditions at a manufacturing facility, with a sample size of 1,260 bottles across nine experimental treatments. Data collection involved defect counting and quality inspection, analyzed through Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), Analysis of Mean (ANOM), and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) techniques using specialized software. The results reveal that the optimal parameters are an air pressure of 33 bar, a heating temperature of 150°C, and a stretching time of 0.933 seconds, with air pressure being the most influential factor. The findings suggest that precise control of these parameters significantly reduces defects, enhances process stability, and improves product quality. However, limitations include the specific industrial setting and focus solely on defect count. Future research should explore additional quality metrics and broader process variables to further optimize blow molding processes for various bottle sizes and materials. ]]>

<![CDATA[Jackfruit leaves (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam) are tropical plants that grow widely in Indonesia. These leaves are known to contain phytochemical compounds, including tannins, flavonoids, and saponins, which have potential as antibacterial agents, including against Staphylococcus aureus. This study aims to determine the antibacterial activity of jackfruit leaf extract and to identify its effective concentration in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. The method used was experimental. The sample in this study was jackfruit leaf extract (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam) with a yield of 16.74%. Phytochemical screening results indicated that the extract contained flavonoids, tannins, and saponins with antibacterial properties. The study was conducted using the disc diffusion method with five treatments and four replicates. The extract concentrations used were 40%, 60%, and 80%. The positive control used was 10 µg of the antibiotic ampicillin, while the negative control used 1% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The results of the study showed that a concentration of 40% produced an inhibition zone diameter of 7.12 mm (moderate category), a concentration of 60% produced 10.54 mm (moderate category), and a concentration of 80% produced 17.81 mm (strong category). The positive control produced an inhibition zone diameter of 7.55 mm (moderate category), while the negative control did not show any inhibition zone. Based on these results, it can be concluded that jackfruit leaf extract at a concentration of 80% is the most effective concentration as an antibacterial agent against Staphylococcus aureus, with a strong inhibition category based on the size of the inhibition zone formed.]]>

<![CDATA[This study analyses the effect of electrical current variation on the strength of Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) joints in low-carbon steel. SMAW was chosen because of its flexibility and low cost, but the quality of the joint is highly dependent on process parameters, especially electrical current. This study aims to identify the optimal current to obtain maximum joint strength in the weld metal area. The research method used is quantitative with an experimental approach. Low-carbon steel specimens were welded using E7016 electrodes with current variations of 75 A, 80 A, 85 A, 90 A, 100 A, 105 A, 110 A, and 115 A. The research population and sample were low-carbon steel specimens with a V-groove joint design. The tests were conducted using the three-point bending test method to measure the maximum force, deflection, bending energy, and bending stress. The data were analysed numerically and presented in tables and graphs. The results showed that a current of 100 A produced the best strength, with the highest bending stress of 258.62 MPa and the highest bending energy of 4.94 J. These values indicate optimal ductility and strength. Current variations that were too low (below 100 A) or too high (above 100 A) resulted in a decrease in joint quality. Too low a current results in suboptimal penetration, while too high a current causes excessive heat and reduces ductility. In conclusion, selecting the right welding current, which is in the range of 100 A, is crucial for producing efficient and high-quality welds.]]>

<![CDATA[Hypercholesterolemia is a global health problem and a major cause of cardiovascular disease. This study aims to explore the potential, determine the optimal dose, and identify the active compounds of cucumber (Cucumis sativus) ethanol extract as a cholesterol-lowering agent. Using a quantitative approach with a pure experimental method, a pre-test and post-test control group research design was applied in vivo to 25 mice (Mus musculus) divided into five treatment groups. The main instruments used included the Easy Touch cholesterol checker, and the data were analyzed using the One-Way ANOVA test. The results showed that cucumber extract had a significant effect in lowering cholesterol levels, with the effect increasing with dose. A dose of 700 mg/kgBW resulted in an average reduction of 49.51%, which was close to the effectiveness of simvastatin (54.05%). In conclusion, cucumber ethanol extract is a potential natural cholesterol-lowering agent, with a dose of 700 mg/kgBW being the most optimal dose that provides an effect almost comparable to that of standard drugs.]]>

<![CDATA[Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to impaired insulin metabolism, and it remains one of the leading global health problems. One promising therapeutic strategy for diabetes management is the inhibition of digestive enzymes such as α-amylase, which plays a role in carbohydrate breakdown. Flavonoids, as natural bioactive compounds found in plants, have been reported to act as effective enzyme inhibitors. This study aims to compare the flavonoid content and α-amylase enzyme inhibitory activity of ethanol extracts from compound garlic (Allium sativum L.), black garlic, and single garlic. The extraction process was carried out using maceration with 96% ethanol solvent, followed by flavonoid content determination using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, while α-amylase inhibitory activity was tested using the Fuwa method. The results demonstrated that black garlic extract contained the highest flavonoid concentration, reaching 48.874 mg QE/g, compared to single garlic (40.561 mg QE/g) and compound garlic (35.943 mg QE/g). In addition, black garlic exhibited the strongest α-amylase inhibitory activity with the lowest IC₅₀ value of 32.390 ppm, indicating a higher potency compared to the other garlic extracts. These findings suggest that the fermentation process in black garlic enhances its flavonoid profile and bioactivity. Therefore, black garlic has significant potential as a natural antidiabetic agent and could be further explored as a functional food ingredient or herbal therapy for diabetes prevention and management.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to describe the effectiveness of the 30° head-up position as a nursing intervention for managing acute pain in patients with a mild head injury (MHI). Although MHI is a prevalent neurological issue, there is limited research on non-pharmacological interventions for its associated acute post-traumatic headaches. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach with a single case study design, the research focused on one adult participant selected via purposive sampling at Dr. R. Soedarsono Hospital, Pasuruan. Data were collected using a triangulation method, including semi-structured interviews, physical observation, and documentation, and analyzed descriptively to identify key patterns. The findings demonstrated a significant reduction in the patient’s pain, with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score decreasing from 5 to 3 over three days. The intervention also improved the patient’s sleep quality and stabilized vital signs. In conclusion, the 30° head-up position is a valuable and effective non-pharmacological nursing intervention for acute pain management in MHI patients, offering a promising alternative to traditional methods. However, the single case study design limits the generalizability of these findings.]]>
