<![CDATA[Acute Respiratory Tract Infections (ARI) are a significant health problem in Indonesia, exacerbated by irrational antibiotic use that triggers antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This study aims to identify patient characteristics and antibiotic use patterns (type, class, dose, duration) in ARI patients at the Bluto Community Health Center, Sumenep Regency, from July to December 2024. Using a retrospective descriptive observational design, purposive sampling resulted in 76 prescriptions from the population of antibiotic prescriptions from doctors for ARI patients (inclusion: treated at the community health center with antibiotics; exclusion: otherwise). Prescription data were analyzed univariately with frequency distribution and percentages using the Slovin formula. The results showed that the majority of patients were male (54%), with peaks in the 0-5 and 46-55 age groups (20% each). Amoxicillin dominated (51%, beta-lactam), followed by cefadroxil (49%, cephalosporin), primarily in the 500 mg tablet and 125 mg/5 ml syrup, with an average duration of 5-7 days. In conclusion, the antibiotic regimen aligns with primary care stewardship guidelines, but monitoring is enhanced to minimize the risk of AMR.]]>

<![CDATA[The minimalism trend in kids fashion style represents a minimalist aesthetic characterized by neutral and earth-tone color palettes, along with simplified forms (minimal form) in silhouettes. In Indonesia, this trend has developed under the influence of social media and the visual preferences of Generation Z as young parents who tend to favor aesthetically pleasing styles. This study focuses on analyzing the trend phenomenon and the selection of minimalist styles in contemporary kids wear in Indonesia through a visual analysis of design elements, as well as identifying the characteristics of Generation Z as consumers. The research method employs a qualitative descriptive approach through visual analysis. Data were collected through observations of three high-end local kids wear brand collections released between 2023 and 2025, visual documentation, and literature review on minimalist style and Generation Z consumer behavior. The analysis focuses on elements of color, silhouette, material, and pattern. The findings indicate that the dominance of earth-tone and neutral colors, oversized silhouettes, and the simplicity of forms and ornamentation represent the aesthetic preferences of Generation Z consumers. These findings suggest a shift in the character of kids wear from the dominance of bright and expressive colors toward a visually minimalist approach. This study contributes to the discourse on children's fashion design and consumer behavior within the context of contemporary visual culture in Indonesia.]]>

<![CDATA[Excessive exposure to UV rays can cause various skin damage so that sunscreen preparations are needed. Kepok banana flowers (Musa acuminata x M. balbisiana) contain flavonoid compounds that have the potential as active ingredients in natural sunscreens, especially in the form of spray gel preparations. This study aims to determine the effect of variations in carbopol concentration on the physical characteristics and SPF value of spray gel preparations using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, and to determine the most optimal formula. Ethanol extract of kepok banana flowers was obtained by maceration method using 96% ethanol. Sunscreen spray gel from ethanol extract of kepok banana flowers was formulated with variations in carbopol concentrations of 0,5% (F1), 0,75% (F2), and 1% (F3). The resulting spray gel was tested including organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, viscosity, adhesion, spray pattern, and SPF value. The results showed that variations in carbopol concentration significantly affected the physical characteristics of the preparation, especially the organoleptic texture, pH, viscosity, and spray pattern, but did not significantly affect the SPF value of the spray gel preparation of ethanol extract of kepok banana flowers (Musa acuminata x M. balbisiana). Formula 2 with a carbopol concentration of 0,75% was determined as the most optimal formula with the most balanced physical characteristics and an SPF value of 15.616 with an ultra protection category.]]>

<![CDATA[Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) are one of the most common work-related health problems and a major cause of reduced productivity and disability among workers in various industrial sectors. One of the main risk factors for MSDs is non-ergonomic work postures, such as bending, sitting or standing statically for long periods of time, repetitive movements, and excessive use of force that exceeds the body's physiological capacity. This literature review aims to analyze the relationship between work posture and Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) complaints based on research results published in accredited scientific journals from 2021 to 2024. The method used was a literature review of articles that assessed work posture using ergonomic instruments such as the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA), Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA), Nordic Body Map (NBM), and PLIBEL Checklist. The results of the study show that most studies found a significant relationship between non-ergonomic work posture and increased MSD complaints, especially in the neck, shoulders, lower back, waist, and wrists. In addition to work posture, age and length of service also contribute to an increased risk of musculoskeletal complaints. Thus, improving work design and applying ergonomic principles are important steps in preventing and controlling MSDs in the workplace.]]>
