FORMULATION OF CINNAMON BARK ESSENTIAL OIL GEL AS MOSQUITO REPELLENT

Objective: The purpose of this research is to prepare a cinnamon bark essential oil gel preparation, determines the physical characteristic and physical stability during storage, and examines the activity of mosquito repellent from the best gel preparation. Methods: The formulations of gel were made with variations in the concentration of Carbopol 940 (0.5%, 1.5%, and 2%) contain 1% of cinnamon bark essential oil. The gel evaluated physical characteristics and physical stability. The parameters of organoleptic, homogeneity, and pH are analyzed descriptive, while the viscosity, the spreadability, and the gel adhesion were analyzed using one-way ANOVA at the level of confidence of 95%. The best gel tested its effectiveness as compared to the negative control and product innovator (which used DEET as an active compound) as a positive control. The activity of repellent was determined by an Aedes aegypti mosquito for 6 h with 2 hands respondents. The effectiveness of repellent protection is calculated by the percentage of protection power. Results: The studies showed that all the gel preparations qualified the organoleptic, homogeneity, and pH parameters. The viscosity, gel adhesion, and spreadability are also stable during storage. Conclusion: Based on the results, the best gel is the formula I which has mosquito repellent activity effective for 6 h like DEET

Comparative study of health (metabolic biomarkers) between owner farmers and farm workers during the COVID-19 pandemic

Differences of land ownership statuses between farmers who grow their land and workers with a profit-sharing system will result in income disparities. The low income received due to reduced levels of rice productivity affects the health status of farmers. Therefore, this study compares the health status between farmers who are owners and workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2022, this cross-sectional study was carried out in Banyumas Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. Hb, fasting glucose, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid, blood pressure, and body mass index (BMI) were all assessed in a total of 100 farmers. Blood samples were taken at 3 cc using an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) anticoagulant vacutainer tube and 5 cc using a plain vacutainer tube, then analyzed in PRODIA Laboratory. A validated tool was used to check blood pressure and BMI. Furthermore, 74% of the 100 farmers surveyed are farm owners, while 26% are workers. The results show that there is no difference in the health status of owners and workers on metabolic biomarkers including Hb, fasting glucose, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid, systolic/systole blood pressure, and BMI. In addition, a number of biomarker indicators, including Hb, fasting glucose, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure, were found to surpass the threshold. Therefore, farmers need to maintain their health status by performing physical activity, consuming healthy food, and reducing their exposure to insecticides with personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent metabolic diseases in the future

KORELASI ANTARA ACADEMIC SELF EFFICACY DENGAN NILAI UJIAN SOCA BLOK 1.3 MAHASISWA JURUSAN KEDOKTERAN UMUM FAKULTAS KEDOKTERAN UNIVERSITAS JENDERAL SOEDIRMAN

Introduction : Academic self efficacy (ASE) is student's self confidence on his/her ability to be succeed in the assignments and to organize learning activities in order to achieve the expected achievement. A high ASE helps students overcome anxiety in facing exams. One form of the final block exam at the General Medicine Department, Faculty of Medicine Universitas Jenderal Soedirman (KU, FK Unsoed) that often causes anxiety is the Structured Oral Case Analysis (SOCA). Objective : To find out whether there was a correlation between ASE and Block 1.3 SOCA test scores. Methods : This was an observational analytic study using a cross sectional design. The respondents were student participants of Block 1.3 General Medicine Department, Faculty of Medicine Universitas Jenderal Soedirman batch 2021 determined by total sampling method based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. ASE score were collected using the Indonesian version of MSLQ questionnaire, self efficacy for learning and performance subscale. The correlation between ASE scores and pre-remedial SOCA test scores was analyzed using Pearson test with significance level at p<0,05. Results : Data obtained from 126 students (response rate 100%). Most (47,6%)  students had high ASE level. The biggest (62,7%) proportion of the SOCA test scores was at level E. The results of the Pearson test showed that the value of p=0,020 and  r=0,826. Conclusion : There is a significant correlation with a positive direction and the strength of the correlation is very strong between ASE and SOCA test scores of student participants of Blok 1.3 General Medicine Department, Faculty of Medicine Universitas Jenderal Soedirman.Latar belakang : Academic self-efficacy (ASE) merupakan keyakinan diri mahasiswa atas kemampuannya dalam mengerjakan tugas dan mengatur kegiatan belajar guna mencapai prestasi yang diharapkan. ASE yang tinggi membantu mahasiswa mengatasi kecemasan dalam menghadapi ujian. Salah satu bentuk ujian akhir blok di Jurusan Kedokteran Umum, Fakultas Kedokteran Unsoed (Jurusan KU, FK Unsoed) yang sering menyebabkan kecemasan adalah Student/Structured Oral Case Analysis (SOCA). Tujuan : Mengetahui ada/tidaknya korelasi antara ASE dan nilai ujian SOCA mahasiswa peserta Blok 1.3  Jurusan KU, FK Unsoed. Metode : Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik observasional dengan rancangan belah lintang pada mahasiswa peserta Blok 1.3  Jurusan KU, FK Unsoed angkatan 2021 yang ditentukan secara total sampling dengan memperhatikan kriteria inklusi dan kriteria eksklusi. Data ASE diambil menggunakan kuesioner MSLQ berbahasa Indonesia sub skala efikasi diri dalam belajar dan performa. Korelasi antara skor ASE dan nilai ujian SOCA pra remedial dianalisis dengan uji Pearson dan tingkat kebermaknaan p<0,05. Hasil :  Didapatkan data 126 mahasiswa (response rate 100%). Sebagian besar (47,6%) mahasiswa memiliki tingkat ASE tinggi. Proporsi terbesar (62,7%) nilai ujian SOCA pada kategori E. Hasil uji korelasi Pearson mendapatkan nilai p = 0,020 r = 0,826. Kesimpulan : Terdapat korelasi bermakna dengan arah positif, serta kekuatan korelasi sangat kuat antara ASE dengan nilai ujian SOCA Blok 1.3  mahasiswa Jurusan KU, FK Unsoed.

The DESCRIPTION OF DIATOMES EXAMINATION IN HEPARIAL ORGANS IN DROWNING CASE IN THE PELUS RIVER SOKARAJA BANYUMAS USING THE WHITE RATS (Rattus novergicus)

Diatoms can be used to identificate and diagnose drowning cases because it can enter the body during inhaling in the water. Previous studies have shown that diatoms can be found in the liver of drowning cases, but this cannot be used as evidence of drowning cases. This study aimsto determine diatoms in the liver organs of white rats that drowned in Pelus River. This studyuses an experimental method, with 15 white rats (Rattus norvegicus) which were submerged in water from the Pelus River. Identification of diatoms in the liver was carried out using the acid destruction method. The results of the research are 9 genus of diatoms that can be identified; Amphora, Eunotia, Amphorotia, Simonsenia, Epithemia, Synedra, Ulnaria, Fragilaria, Asterionella. Meanwhile, there were only 5 genus of diatoms identified in the river water samples; Amphora, Eunotia, Craticula, Diadesmis, and Fragilaria. From this research it can be concluded that there are 9 genus of diatoms that can be identified in the livers of white rats that drowned in the fresh waters of the Pelus Rive
