<![CDATA[Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infectious disease that remains a global health problem, with varying levels of public knowledge about the disease. Patients' lack of knowledge about the symptoms, spread, and prevention of TB can worsen transmission rates and affect the success of treatment. This study aims to describe the level of knowledge of TB patients at the Sumurgung Community Health Centre and analyze the relationship between their demographic characteristics and their level of knowledge. The method used was a quantitative descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach, involving 60 respondents selected by purposive sampling. The main instrument was a questionnaire based on indicators of knowledge about the definition, symptoms, causes, transmission, and prevention of TB. The data were then analyzed descriptively and cross-tabulated using frequency statistics and percentages. The results showed that around 40% of respondents had a low level of knowledge, with characteristics of being aged 26–45 years, male, and having a junior high school/high school education, which tended to have low knowledge. In conclusion, the level of knowledge of TB patients in this region still needs to be improved through targeted education programs. Efforts are needed to increase public understanding to support more effective control of transmission and successful treatment of TB.]]>

<![CDATA[Adolescent girls are a vulnerable group to anemia due to menstruation, which leads to monthly blood and iron loss, coupled with insufficient iron intake. In Indonesia, the prevalence of anemia among adolescents remains high despite supplementation programs, yet compliance is low. Therefore, alternative non-pharmacological interventions using local foods such as dragon fruit juice, which is rich in iron, vitamin C, and antioxidants, are needed. This study aimed to determine the effect of dragon fruit juice consumption on hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls at SMPN 4 Kepenuhan, Rokan Hulu Regency. The research employed a quantitative quasi-experimental design (one-group pretest–posttest) with a total sample of 15 adolescent girls selected through purposive sampling. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after intervention using a hemoglobinometer. Data analysis consisted of descriptive statistics and paired sample t-test to assess differences in mean values before and after treatment. The results showed that the average hemoglobin level increased from 9.9 g/dl before intervention to 14.7 g/dl after intervention. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant difference with p < 0.05, indicating that dragon fruit juice has a positive effect on improving hemoglobin levels. In conclusion, dragon fruit juice consumption can serve as an effective food-based intervention to prevent and reduce anemia among adolescent girls. This finding has practical implications for school-based nutrition programs and community health promotion efforts in Indonesia.]]>

<![CDATA[The rapid development of industries such as construction, manufacturing, and automotive requires materials with excellent mechanical properties, particularly impact resistance. Brass, a copper-zinc alloy (Cu–Zn), is widely applied due to its ductility, corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, and manufacturability. However, quantitative data on the dynamic toughness of brass remain limited and vary significantly depending on composition, heat treatment, and testing conditions. This study aims to analyze the impact toughness of brass using the Charpy impact test method, evaluate the accuracy and consistency of the results, and identify factors influencing impact resistance. The research employed a quantitative experimental method with a controlled design. The population consisted of α-brass specimens, while the samples were several homogeneous and representative test pieces without additional heat treatment or cold working. The main instrument used was a Charpy impact testing machine with notched specimens, and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, calculating average absorbed energy and energy per unit area. The results revealed that brass exhibits stable performance under impact loading, with an average absorbed energy of 113–115 J and energy per unit area of 0.961–0.979 J/mm². The findings confirm that α-brass with less than 35% zinc content possesses a homogeneous microstructure, contributing to high ductility and toughness. In conclusion, brass is a reliable and economical material for light to medium engineering applications, although further studies are recommended to explore the effects of heat treatment, cold working, and alloy variations on its impact toughness.]]>

<![CDATA[An imbalance of free radicals in the body can cause a health condition known as oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is a condition in which free radicals and antioxidants in the body are out of balance. Oxidative stress can be overcome with natural antioxidants. This study aims to determine the antioxidant activity indicated by the IC50 value of the extract of bamboo ater shoots (Gigantochloa atter Kurz) extracted with different solvent polarities. The extraction process was carried out by the maceration method using 96% alcohol solvent, n-Hexane, and ethyl acetate. Each extract was then subjected to phytochemical screening tests, including flavonoids, steroids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, and terpenoids. Analysis of antioxidant activity in this study was carried out using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method. The results of phytochemical screening showed significant differences among each solvent, where the 96% alcohol solvent showed the most complete phytochemical screening results. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that bamboo ater shoots have antioxidant activity, and solvent polarities affect the IC50 value shown. The 96% alcohol extract of bamboo ater shoots has antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 39.22 µg/mL, the extract of bamboo ater shoots with ethyl acetate solvent is 56.19 µg/mL, and the extract of bamboo ater shoots with n-Hexane solvent is 69.77 µg/mL.]]>
