Acne is one of the skin diseases that disturbs the appearance especially of teenagers. Some types of bacteria that cause acne is Propionibacterium acnes. An alternative natural ingredient that can be used to treat acne is kecombrang flowers (Etlingera elatior (Jack) R.M.Sm.). The purpose of this study was to determine whether the kecombrang ethanol extract has antibacterial activity against the bacteria that caused acne, and to know the effective concentration of the ethanol extract of the kecombrang flower on the bacteria that caused the acne. The research conducted was experimental research. The stages of the study began from the determination of the sample, the manufacture of simplicia powder, extraction of kecombrang flowers using the maceration method, phytochemical screening and antibacterial activity test using the disc diffusion method. The concentrations of extract used in the testing of antibacterial activity were 20%, 40%, 60% and 80%. The results showed that the ethanol extract of the kecombrang flower contained secondary metabolites in the form of flavonoids and saponins. The results of the testing of the antibacterial activity showed that the ethanol extract of the kecombrang flowers had a medium activity at a concentration of 80% against the Propionibacterium acnes bacteria with a inhibition zone of 7,67 mm. Keywords: Kecombrang flowers (Etlingera elatior (Jack) R.M.Sm.), Antibacterial activity test, Propionibacterium acnes
AbstrakSayur mengandung banyak serat yang memiliki banyak peranan dalam proses pencernaan. Serat dapat melancarkan perncernaan serta dapat mencegah dan mengurangi resiko timbulnya beberapa penyakit. Tanaman herbal juga merupakan tanaman berkhasiat secara alami, jika diolah dapat bermanfaat dalam meningkatkan kesehatan manusia. Hidroponik merupakan salah satu sistem pertanian masa depan karena dapat diusahakan diberbagai tempat baik di desa, kota, lahan terbuka atau di atas apartemen sekalipun. Luas tanah yang sempit, kondisi tanah kritis, hama dan penyakit yang tak terkendali, keterbatasan jumlah air irigasi, musim yang tak menentu, dan mutu yang tidak seragam bisa ditanggulangi dengan sistem hidroponik.Pelatihan ini dilaksanakan dengan memberdayakan masyarakat khususnya ibu rumah tangga yang bertempat tinggal di sekitar Jl. Abdul Wahab Sjahranie gang 10 RT 26, Kelurahan air hitam Kecamatan Samarinda Ulu untuk berpartisipasi aktif. Pelatihan dilaksanakan pada hari Jumat tanggal 27 Desember 2017 pukul 13.00 sampai selasai. Metode pelatihan budidaya ini dengan melakukan penyuluhan kepada peserta tentang bercocok tanam dengan teknik hidroponik dan memberikan demonstrasi serta praktek bercocok tanam dengan teknik hidroponik. Peserta dibagi menjadi tiga kelompok masyarakat. Setiap kelompok akan diberikan bibit sayuran dan tanaman hebal untuk dibudidayakan dengan teknik hidroponik.Kelompok pertama adalah kelompok yang diberikan bibit bayam merah, kelompok dua diberikan bibit pakcoy dan kelompok tiga diberikan bibit kangkung. Pada hari kedua sampai hari ke lima dilakukan penyiraman bibit dengan larutan nutrisi hidroponik. Hari keenam setiap kelompok melakukan penanaman benih ke tempat yang lebih besar. Setiap kelompok melakukan penyiraman larutan nutrisi hidroponik sampai hari ke tiga puluh. Sayuran dan tanaman herbal yang telah tumbuh menjadi besar maka dilakukan pemanenan.
Pharmacies are a form of health service facility for the community, with the rapidly increasing number of pharmacies having a positive impact on the community, that is being able to compare prices from one pharmacy to another so that each pharmacy can provide better services at competitive prices. Competition for pharmacies, whether privately or publicly owned, is becoming more common. This makes the pharmacy business more competitive, including Fajar Farma Pharmacy. The purpose of the study was to determine the 7P marketing mix strategy applied at Fajar Farma Pharmacy and the relationship between the 7P marketing mix strategy and consumer satisfaction at Fajar Farma Pharmacy. The sample in this research was consumers who buy drugs at Fajar Farma Pharmacy. The mix strategy applied at Fajar Farma Pharmacy has gone very well. This is in line with the results of the average value obtained in the aspects of product, price, place, promotion, people, process, and physical evidence, which are all in the "very good" category. The Spearman rank test results show that the relationship between the physical evidence aspect and the characteristics of the education respondents has the highest correlation coefficient value, with a result of 0.271 and a significant (2-tailed) of 0.000 0.05 and a weak relationship strength with a confidence interval of 95%.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many infectious diseases other than COVID-19 are often neglected in their spread. One of the most common infectious diseases is Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI). STIs are reproductive tract infections caused by bacteria, viruses, and parasites, most of which are transmitted through sexual contact. The high incidence of STIs shows that the public's knowledge of STIs is still low. This study aims to determine the use of drugs and the characteristics of STI patients during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020-2021 at RSUD Abdul Wahab Sjahranie Samarinda. This research is non-experimental.The research method used is descriptive quantitative, which is done retrospectively. The results showed a decrease and increase in the number of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. The total number of STI patients in this study was 48 patients, consisting of 17 patients in 2020 and increasing to 31 patients in 2021. The most characteristics of STI patients during 2020-2021 are male patients, the majority of STI patients aged 17-25 years, high school education level, working as private employees, and unmarried. The most common types of STIs in 2020 were gonorrhea and syphilis in 2021. The most frequently used drug for the treatment of syphilis was the injection of benzathine penicillin, for the treatment of gonorrhea was azithromycin, for the treatment of condyloma acuminata was cefixime and for the treatment of genital herpes was acyclovir.
