This research aims to determine the effectiveness of the antibacterial soursop leaf extract (Annona muricata L.). The method used is the agar diffusion method. The leaves were extracted by maceration method, using ethanol as a solvent. The soursop leaf extract obtained was then diluted using ethanol 96% at a concentration of 20%, 40%,60%, 80%. Positive control using clindamycin and negative controls using sterile aquadest. The research model used in this study is an experimental research model In Vitro of type. The results showed that soursop leaf extract had antibacterial effectiveness against Propionibacterium acnes with an average inhibition zone diameter of 9,7 mm; 13,7 mm; 15,7 mm; 16,3 mm; positive control (clindamysin) 21,0 mm; and negative control (aquadest) have no value tobe able to inhibit bacterial growth.

The beginning of 2020 was shocked by the WHO's statement which mentioned Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) as a pandemic. As many as 37420 confirmed cases of COVID-19 were reported by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia until June 2020 and are growing every day. One of the supporting examinations to establish a diagnosis of COVID-19 is a radiological examination. It is undeniable that the increasing incidence of COVID-19 has caused the workload of health workers in hospitals is increase, including in radiology installations in hospital. The purpose of this study was to analyze the need of workforce according to the workload using the Workload indicators of staffing need (WISN) method in the radiology installation of the RSU X. This research uses quantitative and qualitative methods. The results showed that the workload of the workforce in the radiology installation at RSU X was in the optimum category. Based on calculations using the WISN method, it was found that the total number of workers needed at the radiology installation at the RSU X was 15 people and the workforce gap ratio was 1.00.

This work aims to investigate an Indonesian EFL student’s perceptions and experiences in repeatedly doing standardized English language proficiency test: TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) and TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). This standardized test has a significant role in the academic and professional lives of students (Anam, 2019); it contributes positively to students’ language proficiency and their future employment if they have higer and valid score in the test (Hsieh, 2017). This present study interviewed an Indonesian EFL student at a National University in Taiwan running an international program. The study participant passed the exam, but she did it repeatedly before she could pass it. This study used a qualitative phenomenological approach with an in-depth interview. The relevant findings illustrate that the participant reveals the reasons for failing the test: lack of self-awareness, lack of self-confidence, and the distance of the test venue from her dormitory. On the contrary, she passed the test by doing online simulation exam individually and modifying her study skills while preparing for the test. The failure process had a positive impact on her in making her to know her ability.
