<![CDATA[Waste is our common problem because it is generated every day and throughout the year. People’s behavior in throwing rubbish in any place and not caring about the environment can house an unpleasant atmosphere, especially the type of organic waste that causes an unpleasant odor. The aim is to find out the behavior of managing organic waste as feed in cultivating Black Soldier Flies (BSF) in RT 32 Bengkuring. The Qualitative research method with an action research (AR) approach. The research results show that the first stage, here is no organic waste management by residents in RT 32. Second stage, he implementation of socialization and training on BSF/maggot fly cultivation was welcomed by community shops, the government, and local residents. Third phase, most of the mothers were amused or disgusted to see maggots during training because they are shaped like caterpillars, so it is difficult to feed them organic waste. Besides that, it is difficult to get permission from the owners of houses or residential land that has not been used for a long time because their whereabouts are unknown to the owner. In conclusion, the knowledge of residents, community shops, and the local government increased after socialization and practice on how to manage organic waste through cultivating BSF flies. Behavior is low because not all residents dare to see, let alone touch and feed maggots.]]>

<![CDATA[Testing for skin irritation caused by new substances is a critical component of safety evaluation procedures. Pharmaceutical formulations and active ingredients intended for topical application have the potential to cause skin irritation, necessitating thorough safety assessments prior to public distribution. This study aimed to evaluate the primary irritation potential of a purple cabbage extract cream using the patch test method on healthy older adults. The experimental research involved 18 volunteers, who were administered 0.625% purple cabbage extract cream and a placebo preparation without the test substance. The test materials were applied twice daily over a period of 72 hours. Observations were conducted at baseline (0 hours) and at 24, 48, and 72 hours post-application. The degree of skin irritation was then calculated based on the recorded data. The results indicated a primary irritation index of 0.1, suggesting that the purple cabbage extract cream did not cause skin irritation. It can be concluded that the purple cabbage extract cream is safe for skin application in the tested population. Future research should explore the effects of purple cabbage cream on different skin locations, as skin sensitivity can vary across different areas of the body.]]>

<![CDATA[Diet plays an important role in managing mass, and muscle strength and preventing diseases related to malnutrition. A dietary pattern that contains several nutrients has a role in improving muscle performance and reducing the incidence of sarcopenia. This study aims to determine the relationship between dietary patterns and the incidence of sarcopenia in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study was a cross-sectional study conducted on 150 subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus aged 40 years or older. Multivariate logistic regression tests were conducted to measure the effect of adherence to each dietary pattern on the possibility of sarcopenia. Three dietary patterns were identified through analysis of major components. After adjusting for confounding variables, subjects with healthy dietary patterns on the highest tertile had a lower odds ratio for developing sarcopenia (OR 0.584; 95% CI 0.070-4.865; p=0.000). In contrast, adherence to unhealthy dietary patterns was not associated with sarcopenia (OR 1.508; 95% CI 0.305-7.452; p=0.612). Similarly, adherence to a mixed dietary pattern did not affect the likelihood of sarcopenia (OR 1.297; 95% Cl 0.341-4.931; P=0.704). This study shows that adherence to a healthy dietary pattern is associated with a lower chance of developing sarcopenia in people with type II diabetes mellitus. ]]>

<![CDATA[Hypertension is the main cause of death for pregnant women, which is 31,90% in 2022. Early detection of hypertension complications tends to be actively carried out by health workers rather than empowering mothers, husbands, and families. This study aims to identify the differences in knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women regarding the early detection of hypertensive complications and the role of family support in hypertension prevention, before and after receiving intervention through the use of booklets. This quasi-experimental study used a one-group pretest-posttest design with 60 hypertensive pregnant women. Participants completed questionnaires measuring knowledge and attitudes about hypertension. After receiving a hypertension booklet to read for three days, follow-up evaluations were conducted on family support (day 10), early detection of complications, and blood pressure (day 14). Data were analyzed using paired sample tests. The research results show that the knowledge significantly improved after the intervention (mean increase of 2.47, p=0.000), while no significant change was found in attitudes (p=0.214). Family support roles increased significantly (mean increase of 2.02, p=0.000). Additionally, 88.3% of respondents could detect early hypertension complications, and 81.7% had normal blood pressure after the intervention. The conclusion is there are differences in the knowledge of pregnant women and the role of family in the prevention of pregnancy hypertension before and after receiving the booklet intervention. There is no difference in the attitude of pregnant women before and after receiving the booklet intervention. Suggestions for researchers further need to formulate strategies related to early detection of pregnancy hypertension starting from the family level by involving a network of cooperation between the government and community organizations to prioritize health education at the family level.]]>
