The aim of this study was to discover differences in work-family conflict among women who work as employees and women who worked as entrepreneurs. The samples of this re-search were 189 women (98 employees and 91 entrepreneurs). This quantitative com-parative design used an incidental sampling technique. The measuring instrument was the work-family conflict (WFC) translated from Greenhaus and Beutell. The data collected was analyzed using Mann Whitney-U Test. The results show no difference in WFC among women who work as employees and women as entrepreneurs. However, the data shows that the majority of entrepreneur women has very low WFC in all aspects (time, strain, and behavior), while women who work as employees tend to have medium WFC. The results of cross tabulation show that there are indications of an association between revenue and WFC (time and strain aspects) in employee respondents. While the entrepreneur women show indication of an association between the ages of marriage, and duration of work with WFC

Persentase antara jumlah pengunjung dan personal assistant juga harus berimbang, tentu saja hal ini perlu diperhatikan agar pengunjung merasa dilayani dengan cepat dan baik. Pada kenyataannya tidak semua pemilik industri fashion mampu mempertahankan kondisi ideal perbandingan personal assistant dan pelanggan.

The meaning of complementary, alternative and traditional medicine among the Indonesian psychology community: a pilot study

Complementary, alternative and traditional medicine (CATM) is a new field, as well as a promising area of study and practice in psychology. It is important to research the cultural context and meaning of CATM, including its definitions and examples, among different communities of psychology because CATM's use is dependent on how it is understood by the members. The aim of this pilot study is to provide an interpretation of the Indonesian psychology community's understanding of CATM through a qualitative approach.Online interviews with open-ended questions and purposive sampling were used. Participants were dominantly psychologists or lecturers in clinical psychology area. Ten males and 12 females with an average age of 28.0 ± 2.5 years voluntarily participated in this study. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and reviewed and analysed by the two authors to ensure accuracy of interpretation.It was found that there was no single meaning of CATM among the Indonesian community of psychology. Participants were not familiar enough with the terms and tended to use them with overlap. It can be suggested that "complementary medicine" and "alternative medicine" or "complementary-alternative medicine" combined provides more suitable terminology for use among Indonesian psychology community when communicating with other health care professionals.The understanding of the terms and examples of CATM were diverse and were often used interchangeably in the projects/interviews. It was also found that Indonesian psychologists required more education regarding CATM. In addition, future studies with more participants from various aspects of the psychology community should be conducted to capture a more representative sample

Uji Aktivitas Antioksidan dan Formulasi Gel Ekstrak Etanol Daun Jeruk Nipis (Citrus aurantifolia): Antioxidant Activity Test and Gel Formulation of Lime Leaf Ethanol Extract (Citrus aurantifolia)

Citrus aurantifolia leaves have several pharmacological properties such as antibacterial and antioxidant activity. The main objective of this study was to determine the antioxidant activity and obtain the best gel formula from the lime leaves ethanolic extracts.  Five different concentrations of  Citrus aurantifolia leaves extract namely FI, FII, FIII, FIV, and FV were tested for its antioxidant activity using the DPPH method. Furthermore,  the lime leaves extract gel were formulated using carbopol 940. The gels were then evaluated for various parameters including organoleptic,  homogeneity, pH, spreadability and viscosity to select best formulation. The extraction process was conducted using maceration method. The results of the DPPH radical scavenging activity showed that lime leaves extract with concentration 60,84 ppm has the preeminent IC50 value.  The preparation of lime leaf ethanol extract gel obtained was clear white, clear green, green, brownish green, dark green, homogeneous, and had a characteristic smell of lime leaf. Evaluation of dispersion of 5-5.4 cm, pH of 5.1-5.8, and viscosity of 4.44-6.39 Pa.s.  From the evaluation results, it can be concluded that formula 2 is the best formula
