A tonic is a substance or mixture of substances that can strengthen the body or increase a person's energy. The tonic effect is caused by stimulation of the central nervous system (CNS). The herb gotu kola (Centella Asiatica) is a natural substance that contains bioactive compounds such as terpenoids, which play a role in producing the tonic effect. This study aims to analyze the ability of gotu kola herb extract (Centella asiatica) to provide a tonic effect on male white mice (Mus Musculus) and to determine the optimal dose of gotu kola herb extract (Centella Asiatica) to provide an optimal tonic effect. This study used the Rotarod test with treatment groups, each consisting of 5 test animals given Na-CMC 0.5% as a negative control, caffeine 100mg/kgBW as a positive control, and Centella asiatica herb extract suspension at varying doses, namely 50mg/kgBW as a low dose treatment, 100 mg/kgBW as a medium dose treatment, and 150 mg/kgBW as a high dose treatment. Statistical test results showed a significant increase in the time mice remained on the rotarod in all dose treatments compared to the negative control and no treatment. The 150 mg/kgBW dose provided a tonic effect closest to that of caffeine. Phytochemical testing showed that gotu kola herb contains terpenoids, which are thought to play a role in its tonic activity. Thus, gotu kola herb extract has the potential to be developed as a natural tonic alternative.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia resulting from impaired insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. The condition is associated with severe long-term complications, including cardiovascular disease, nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy, making effective management strategies crucial. One therapeutic approach is the inhibition of the α-amylase enzyme, which plays a key role in the hydrolysis of complex carbohydrates into glucose, thereby controlling postprandial blood sugar levels. Natural products containing bioactive compounds such as phenolics and flavonoids are increasingly being investigated as safer alternatives to synthetic drugs. Clove stalks (Syzygium aromaticum L.), an underutilized byproduct of the clove plant, are known to be rich in these compounds and may serve as a potential natural enzyme inhibitor. This study aimed to analyze the phenolic and flavonoid content as well as α-amylase inhibitory activity of ethanol extract and its fractions (n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and water) obtained from clove stalks. Extraction was carried out using maceration with 70% ethanol, followed by fractionation and analysis with UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The ethanol extract exhibited the highest phenolic and flavonoid levels (44.581 mg GAE/g and 50.491 mg QE/g, respectively), while the ethyl acetate fraction demonstrated the strongest α-amylase inhibitory activity with an IC₅₀ value of 26.303 µg/mL. These findings suggest that the ethyl acetate fraction of clove stalks has promising potential as a natural antidiabetic agent, supporting its development as an alternative functional ingredient in diabetes management.

This study aims to determine the relationship between pregnant women’s knowledge levels and the incidence of high-risk pregnancy at BPM Salabiah, Lhokseumawe City. Pregnancy is a crucial period in a woman’s life, and limited knowledge about maternal health often contributes to complications that may lead to high-risk conditions. This research employed a quantitative analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 63 pregnant women selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using univariate analysis to describe respondent characteristics, while bivariate analysis with the Chi-Square test was used to identify relationships between variables. The findings revealed that most respondents were aged 20–35 years (55.6%), the majority were housewives (79.4%), and most were primigravida (43.8%). Furthermore, it was found that pregnant women with low knowledge levels tended to experience a higher incidence of high-risk pregnancy. The statistical analysis confirmed this relationship, with a significant p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating that knowledge level plays a vital role in determining maternal health outcomes. These results highlight the importance of providing adequate information and continuous counseling to pregnant women regarding prenatal care, nutrition, and early detection of pregnancy complications. Strengthening health education programs at the community level and encouraging active participation of health workers can help reduce high-risk pregnancies.

Population growth remains one of the most significant global challenges, particularly in developing countries. To address this issue, family planning programs play a crucial role, one of which is the use of post-placental intrauterine devices (IUDs). Post-placental IUDs offer many advantages, including high effectiveness, immediate accessibility after delivery, safety for breastfeeding mothers, and rapid return of fertility after removal. However, the utilization rate of this contraceptive method remains low, often due to limited knowledge among women of childbearing age. Adequate knowledge is essential to encourage informed decision-making regarding contraceptive use. This study aimed to describe the level of knowledge about post-placental IUDs among women of childbearing age. A descriptive research design was used, involving 78 respondents who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire on post-placental IUD knowledge and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that only 2 respondents (2.6%) demonstrated good knowledge, 43 respondents (55.1%) had fair knowledge, and 33 respondents (42.3%) exhibited poor knowledge regarding post-placental IUDs. The majority of respondents thus had a fair level of knowledge, indicating partial awareness but limited comprehensive understanding of this contraceptive method. These results highlight the need for improved health education strategies, particularly by healthcare providers, to enhance women’s knowledge and promote the adoption of post-placental IUDs. Strengthening information delivery may contribute to increased utilization and ultimately support population control efforts.

Fuel prices have seen a significant increase. This encourages individuals to save costs on their fuel expenditure by finding the shortest route to their destination. The shorter the route, the less fuel will be released. This study answers the challenge of determining the shortest route between BTN Lembah Furia Sentani in Jayapura Regency to the Department of Mathematics of Cenderawasih University in Papua Province. Many roads can be passed from BTN Lembah Furia Sentani in Jayapura Regency, to the Department of Mathematics of Cenderawasih University in Papua Province. As is well known, that the streets in Jayapura City have many alternative roads with different characters. The existing road characteristics include density, physical condition of the road and the size of the road width. With the existing road character, it can be assumed that each road has an average travel length. This average value is used as the cost of the road. To solve this problem, a dynamic programming approach is used to identify optimal routes while minimizing costs. The dynamic program utilizes analyzed and calculated data to yield the best outcomes. The results indicate that the quickest path from BTN Lembah Furia Sentani to the Mathematics Department at Cenderawasih University is via Komba Netar Bridge, GKI Petrus Waena Church, covering a distance of 25.2 kilometers
