The rapid development of technology in this day and age has made some of the activities of human life shifted. Society is required to follow the development of existing technology so that it affects various kinds of activities in our lives. One of them is the ease with which information can be spread in various directions. This affects the level of business competition in the F&B world. Therefore, to maintain its existence, McD conducts marketing activities. In this study, we examine how digital marketing influences purchasing decisions at Mcd Rungkut Surabaya. The research method we use is a qualitative descriptive approach. The focus of this research is to find out how to make urchasing decisions through price analysis, brand image, and digital marketing.

C-reactive protein is an acute-phase protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. Dyslipidemia can trigger the inflammatory reaction in the blood vessels, causing atherosclerosis. The ratio of total cholesterol/High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) is considered as one of the sensitive predictor lipid ratio for the cardiovascular disease risk factor. Objectives: To determined the correlation of C reactive protein between cholesterol levels with total cholesterol/HDL ratio in obese people. Methods: This study was an analytical study with a cross-sectional design of 59 people who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria at the RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang from January to September 2019. Research subjects consisted of first degree obesity (25.0 ≤IMT <30.0 kg/m2) and second degree (≥30.0 kg/m2). C reactive protein levels were measured as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. Total cholesterol and HDL levels were measured using automated clinical chemicals with the enzymatic colorimetric method. Data were analyzed by Pearson, significant if p <0.05. Results: The study subjects were 59 people (17 men and 22 women) with an average age was 35 (8.04) years. CRP levels in stage II obesity were slightly higher than grade I, with a mean difference between groups of 0.26 mg/L (95% CI: -1.80-1.2; p=0.74). The average ratio of total cholesterol/HDL levels in the obese group I and II was 5.13 and 4.80 (p=0.93). The correlation showed a very weak positive (r=0.12) and was statistically not significant (p=0.35). The results of the subanalysis showed relatively similar patterns between the first-degree obesity population (r=0.10; p=0.58) and second-degree (r=0.16; p=0.41). Conclusion: There is no significant correlation between protein C-reactive and total cholesterol/HDL ratio.Keywords: Obesity, C-Reactive Protein, total cholesterol/HDL ratio
Beberapa daun seperti daun jambu biji, sirsak, alpukat, dan kelor memiliki komponen kimia penting dalam mengatasi penyakit degeneratif. Kandungan ini seperti flavonoid dan polifenol yang bersifat sebagai antioksidan. Konsumsi bahan yang kaya antioksidan dapat menurunkan kadar Malondialdehyde dan Superoxide Dismutase dalam darah, salah satunya dengan konsumsi teh. Akhir-akhir ini telah banyak penelitian mengenai aktivitas antioksidan teh terhadap kadar Malondialdehyde dan Superoxide Dismutase. Namun, terdapat kekurangan informasi mengenai efek aktivitas antioksidan teh dari berbagai daun. Oleh karena itu, tujuan dari tinjauan ini adalah untuk meringkas dan mengumpulkan sudut pandang aktivitas antioksidan teh terhadap kadar Malondialdehyde dan Superoxide Dismutase dari daun jambu biji dan beberapa macam jenis daun. Karakteristik tiap jenis daun memiliki persamaan komponen kimia dan perbedaan pada kadar tiap komponen tersebut. Komoditas daun jambu biji, teh (hijau, oolong, hitam), daun alpukat, daun sirsak, dan daun kelor memiliki aktivitas antioksidan yang berbeda, diantara yang lainnya daun jambu biji memiliki aktivitas antioksidan yang cukup tinggi. Tingginya aktivitas antioksidan dari olahan daun dapat menurunkan kadar Malondialdehyde dalam darah. Sesuai dengan hal tersebut ringkasan ini dapat memberikan kontribusi untuk menjelaskan tinjauan komprehensif tentang aktivitas antioksidan teh terhadap kadar Malondialdehyde dan Superoxide Dismutase dari bahan yang kurang dimanfaatkan dan aman untuk dikonsumsi.
Inflammation is caused by infectious diseases, including COVID-19. Severe inflammatory responses contribute to weak adaptive immune response, there by resulting in immune response imbalance. Circulating biomarkers can represent inflammation and immune status are potential predictors for the prognosis of COVID-19 patients. Ferritin and interleukin-6 can serve as significant biomarkers in the detection of cytokine storm, systemic inflammation, and the prognosis of COVID-19. Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio is an independent prognostic biomarker for COVID-19 patients. The aim of this study to determine differences levels of IL-6, ferritin, and NLR in COVID-19 patients treated ICU and non-ICU. This study was comparative cross-sectional design of 62 COVID-19 patients. Research was conducted at the Central Laboratory and Medical Record of Dr. M. Djamil Padang hospital (May-September 2021). Interleukin-6 levels determined the ECLIA methods, ferritin with the ELFA methods, and NLR with calculation methods. Bivariate data were analyzed with Mann-Whitney test. The characteristics of COVID-19 patients treated in ICU: 64.5% male, average age was 53.52(10.71) years, 48.4% death, and non ICU: female 71.0%, average 42.32 (12.22) years, and recovered 100%. The most common comorbid is hypertension. There were significant differences levels of IL-6, ferritin, and NLR in ICU and non-ICU patients with COVID-19 (p<0.001).
Mangrove crab shells are one of the wastes that are poorly utilized because it is usually only used for animal feed mixtures. Mangrove crab shells have a high enough chitin content so that it can be used as chitosan and then used as chitooligosaccharides that have the potential to have prebiotic activity. The study aimed to determine the effect of enzyme concentration and length of incubation time on the prebiotic characteristics and activity of chitooligosaccharides. Completely Randomized Design was used as a design experiment with a variable chitosanase enzyme concentration (0.5%, 1%, and 1.5%) and incubation time (1 hour, 3 hours, and 5 hours). The study shows that there is an interaction between the two variables in the viscosity parameter, degree of deacetylation, molecular weight, and degree of polymerization. The results showed that the best treatments were an enzyme concentration of 0.5% and a long incubation time of 5%, which resulted in chitooligosaccharides with characteristics: viscosity of 2.75 cPs, degree of deacetylation of 97.68%, the molecular weight of 546.99 Da, and degree of polymerization of 2.67. The best treatment tested the prebiotic activity of 1,18 for Lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria and 1,33 for Bifidobacterium breve bacteria. Hope this research would be an innovation in the production of a crabs shell or chitin’s source into prebiotic chitooligosaccharide and could boost the immune system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
