Pengaruh Pemberian Bubuk Cengkih (Syzigium Aromaticum) Terhadap Kadar Glukosa Darah Puasa Dan 2 Jam Postprandial Pada Wanita Prediabetes

Latar Belakang: Prediabetes merupakan kondisi transisi antara kadar glukosa darah normal dan diabetes. Kondisi tersebut dikaitkan dengan gaya hidup yang tidak sehat seperti kurang berolahraga, kelebihan asupan energi, karbohidrat, lemak, kurang asupan serat serta antioksidan. Cengkih merupakan bumbu yang kaya akan antioksidan yang diketahui memiliki berbagai bahan aktif yaitu eugenol, trans-cariofilen, alfa humulene, dan triterpenoid yang dapat menurunkan kadar glukosa darah dan mencegah diabetes.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh bubuk cengkih terhadap kadar glukosa darah puasa (GDP) dan 2 jam postprandial (GD2JPP) sehingga dapat digunakan sebagai pencegahan Diabetes mellitus tipe 2.Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian true experiment dengan pre-post test group design. Penelitian ini dilakukan di wilayah Tlogosari, Kota Semarang. Metode samping menggunakan consecutive sampling sehingga diperoleh 47 sampel yang terbagi dalam tiga kelompok, dengan dosis bubuk cengkih 1, 2, 3 gram/ hari selama 2 minggu. Asupan energi dan aktivitas fisik diperoleh dengan recall 3x24 jam dan kuesioner aktivitas fisik. Pengujian secara statistik dilakukan dengan uji Wilcoxon, paired t-test, Kruskall-Wallis, dan regresi linear.Hasil: Terdapat penurunan kadar glukosa darah dengan dosis 1, 2, 3 gram/hari yaitu 0,52 + 24,4; 2,46 + 18,7; dan 13,3 + 16,3 mg/dl pada GDP dan 31,7+14,7; 38,32+27,2; 31,11+32,5 mg/dl pada parameter GD2JPP. Kemudian, terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan (p=0,001) antarkelompok pada kadar GDP. Tingkat kecukupan serat merupakan variabel yang mempengaruhi kadar GDP sedangkan kadar GD2JPP dipengaruhi oleh asupan serat, energi, dan lemak.Simpulan: Bubuk cengkih dapat menurunkan kadar GDP dan GD2JPP serta dapat digunakan sebagai alternatif untuk mencegah Diabetes melitus tipe 2

Studi Empirik Interaksi Strategis Pemerintah Daerah di Indonesia

One potential positive impact of fiscal decentralization in Indonesia is positive competition among subnational government to maximize the public welfare. The competition is reflected by spatial correlation of the expenditure per capita with its neighbouring subnational government.  Using the dataset in 2010 at district level and spatial econometrics approach, this study tests whether strategic interaction between region government expenditure is present. Our estimation results show positive strategic interaction among subnational government expenditure.  Furthermore, the highest interaction is for the expenditure in economic, indicating the competition is much more motivated by economic outcomes

Regulasi Diri Mahasiswa Berprestasi

Self-regulation is long understood as a significant factor that influences student\u27s academicachievement. Self-regulation refers to self-generated thoughts, feelings, and actions that areplanned and cyclically adapted to the attainment of personal goals (Zimmerman, 2000). High-achieving university students are assumed to regulate themselves to achieve high score inacademic task and to maintain extracurricular activities harmoniously. This study is purposed to understand the process of self-regulation of high-achievinguniversity student. Participant of this study is two university students that won title“Mahasiswa Berprestasi” through annual competition “Pemilihan Mahasiswa Berprestasi” inIndonesia. Using transcendental phenomenological analysis method (Moustakas, 1994) ofdata from the participants, the author identifies 12 general themes of self-regulation,synthesizes them into a textural-structural synthesis, and develops essences of the experience.The participants regulated themselves to gain achievement in many areas of life. The findings show self-regulation as having effort to attain personal goal and to fulfill social expectation of being succesful and beneficial person, holistically. The process of self-regulation occurs in interreliant relationship with others by which having good social relationship is its important part dan dependant relationship toward God as believed that God is The Determiner over everything including human\u27s effort successfulness or failure. Motivated by the desire of having good life in the present and future and avoiding bad luck of being a loser and therefore, harming other people life, the process is never ending. The cycle is always renewed along with the appearance of new tasks, responsibilities, targets and goals in one\u27s life

Effect of sunlight and artificial light on micropropagation of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plantlets

Fluorescent lamps (artificial light) and sunlight were used as lighting source in present study to identify feasibility of using sunlight in plant tissue culture laboratory. In vitro regenerated nodal segments of the cardinal variety of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) were inoculated in MS medium without any growth regulator for shoot and root development. After 30 days of culture in an average temperature at 21.94±0.21°C, relative humidity 39.35±0.75%, various morphological responses i.e. plantlet height, diameter of plantlet, number of nodes per plantlet, inter node distance, number of leaves per plantlet, fresh and dry weight of plantlets , number of root, length of root, growth rate etc. were recorded. The average light intensity at sunlight and artificial treatment was observed at 4805.5±326.54 lux and 3484±84.44 lux, respectively. All the growth factors performed better result in sunlight treatment than those of artificial one except average number of nodes and leaves. The average height of plantlet at sunlight was 53.33±3.32 mm which was greater than that of artificial light 51.67±2.15 mm. Fresh weight and dry weight are two important morphological factors for plantlet and in case of fresh weight that was always greater 0.49±0.097 in sunlighted plantlet and 0.21±0.026 in artificial one.  In case of dry weight the average weight 0.08±0.016 was greater in sunlighted plantlet than that of 0.03±0.004 in artificial one. Number of roots, root length and growth rate of the plantlets observed higher in sunlighted plantlets compared to artificial light. Moreover, the sunlighted plantlets were healthier, vigorous and strong which helped plants to establish in net house easily. Considering the cost of electricity consumption, from a laboratory area of 20.47 m2 BD Taka 63% could be saved in each month by using sunlight. As low cost options of energy saving in tissue culture laboratory using sunlight would be feasible and environmentally friendly technology for commercial point of view in Bangladesh
