Hypercholesterolemia is a condition where the concentration of cholesterol in the blood increases beyond normal values. One of the plants recommended for consumption by cholesterol sufferers is bay leaves. This is because bay leaves contain various active compounds such as flavonoids which can prevent the oxidation of Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and prevent the deposition of fat on blood vessel walls. Saponins can prevent fat absorption, increase excretion in the urine so that fat does not accumulate. This case study aims to provide an overview of implementing the provision of bay leaf boiled water in reducing cholesterol levels in Mrs. R at the health center often in Sidorejo sub-district, Medan Tembung sub-district. The type of research is descriptive with an observational approach through case studies to obtain an overview of the use of bay leaf boiled water in hypercholesterolemia sufferers. The subjects used in the case studies taken were patients with hypercholesterolemia. The instruments used in data collection were family protection observation sheets and taking action to apply boiled bay leaf water. The results of the research showed that boiled bay leaf water was effective in reducing cholesterol levels as applied by Mrs. R taken twice a day, namely morning and evening for 11 days, resulted in a decrease in cholesterol levels from 263 mg/dl to 187 mg/dl.

Indonesia is a country with a high level of earthquake vulnerability, thus demanding innovation in building structural engineering that is not only safe but also environmentally friendly. In the context of sustainable development, bamboo as an abundant local material is starting to gain attention as an alternative to conventional materials. Bamboo, when processed into composites in the form of fibers or in combination with thermoplastic and thermoset polymers, has been proven to have superior mechanical properties, including tensile strength, stiffness, and resistance to chemical degradation. In addition, the characteristics of water absorption that are controlled through certain treatments make bamboo composites more competitive compared to synthetic materials. The application of bamboo composites in construction is not only limited to new materials in structural elements, but also effective in retrofitting methods. For example, recent research shows the potential of bamboo composites in strengthening reinforced concrete beams and improving the performance of frame systems in earthquake-resistant structures. In line with this, seismic design regulations and standards such as the comparison between SNI 1726:2012 and SNI 1726:2019 demonstrate the importance of adapting structural designs to local seismic conditions. The integration of bamboo composite materials with structural capacity analysis, numerical simulation, and pushover analysis methods has yielded promising results for improving building resilience to dynamic loads. Beyond technical aspects, this approach also supports environmental objectives. Several studies have even developed eco-friendly home prototypes utilizing innovative material combinations, including geopolymer blocks and natural fibers. Thus, the use of bamboo composites not only provides a technical solution to earthquake challenges but also contributes to global efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of the construction sector.

Anaemia is a common issue during pregnancy, affecting not only pregnant women but also their foetuses and the birth process. Pregnant women are considered anaemic if their haemoglobin (Hb) levels fall below 11 g/dL, with a higher prevalence observed in the third trimester. One contributing factor to anaemia during pregnancy is tea consumption, as tea contains tannin compounds that can inhibit iron absorption. This study aims to investigate the correlation between tea consumption and the incidence of anaemia in pregnant women during the third trimester. An analytical observational research design with a cross-sectional approach was employed. The study was conducted among pregnant women in the third trimester at the Ngaliyan Health Centre from November to December 2023, with a total sample of 55 participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were analysed using both univariate and bivariate methods. The results revealed a significant relationship between tea consumption and the incidence of anaemia, with a p-value of 0.003 (p < 0.005). These findings suggest that tea consumption is associated with an increased risk of anaemia in pregnant women during the third trimester.    

Abstract One of the government organizations tasked with managing affairs in its operational area in order to protect, be responsive, resolve, and rescue protected from fire is the Padangsidimpuan City Fire and Rescue Service. Performance is a term used to describe how well the implementation efforts in fulfilling the vision and mission of the organization. This research is in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the expenditure budget, namely from 2018 to 2022. The purpose of this budget capability evaluation is to assess the absorption of expenditure during the budget period. This study used a qualitative methodology combined with quantitative data collection and documentation methods. Descriptive analysis methods were used using efficiency ratios, expenditure growth analysis, operating expenditure and capital expenditure compatibility analysis, expenditure variance analysis. Based on the results of research using expenditure variance analysis, budget performance can be said to be good because there are no expenditures that exceed the budget. Analysis of expenditure growth between 2018-2022 shows positive growth. The findings of the expenditure conformity analysis show that operational costs use more of the expenditure budget than capital expenditure. In addition, with an average of 92.05%, the efficiency ratio of budget realization indicates that the use of the 2018-2022 budget is less efficient.

Infrastructure development contributes to increasing the competitiveness of domestic products, employment energy absorption, and regional growth. Therefore, a strong, rigid and stable construction is needed. The use of materials for construction needs to be considered, especially commonly used materials such as concrete. This research aims to analyze the effect of variations in granite content as a partial substitution for coarse aggregate on the bond strength of BRA (Concrete Recycled Aggregate) concrete. Experimental methods were used in this research. The concrete mix design uses a variety of granite waste with a content of 0%; 15%; 30%; and 45%. The test object used was a concrete cube with a side length of 20 cm. The bond strength of the concrete is tested using a Universal Testing Machine (UTM) and a dial gauge. Based on research, the maximum bond strength value is obtained at a granite content of 30%. The addition of granite waste causes an increase in the bond strength value. The bond strength value of concrete when slip occurs is 0.25 mm at 0% granite content; 15%; 30%; and 45% each valued at 14.61 MPa; 15.44 MPa; 18.62 MPa; and 17.15 MPa.

World Health Organization (WHO) 41% of pregnant women worldwide experience anemia. Overall, the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women in developed countries is 49% and in developing countries it is 53%. In Indonesia, the rate of anemia in pregnant women is quite high, namely 48.9%. Anemia that is commonly experienced by pregnant women is iron deficiency anemia. Iron is needed in hemopoesis (blood formation), namely in the synthesis of hemoglobin. Iron absorption can be increased by consuming ± 25 mg of vitamin C sources in food. The aim of the research was to determine the difference in the effectiveness of papaya and red guava on hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia. The research was conducted at the Nagaswidak Community Health Center in June 2024 using a quasi-experimental two group pretest and posttest. The population in this study were all pregnant women who were in the working area of the Nagaswidak Palembang Community Health Center in May 2024 with Hb levels of 9 – 10.9 gr/dl. The sampling technique used purposive sampling totaling 30 respondents. The results of the Wilcoxon test research showed that the effect of papaya (p value 0.000) and guava (p value 0.000) was obtained. The results of the Mann Whitney union obtained a p value of 0.116. There is an effect of papaya on hemoglobin levels in pregnant women, there is an effect of guava on hemoglobin levels. There is no difference in the effect of papaya and guava on hemoglobin levels in pregnant women at the Nagaswidak Community Health Center. It is hoped that health workers will increase education regarding the prevention of anemia in pregnant women, one of which is by consuming vitamin C in fruit.

To improve water quality, rice husks are soaked in activated carbon to treat water. This activated carbon works through an absorption mechanism. This study tested the effectiveness of rice husk activated carbon in reducing iron concentration. Water is an element of the environment that is very important for human life and is used for various purposes, including household, industrial, and agricultural purposes. The quality of water used must meet physical, chemical and biological requirements.  Many materials can be used and processed into activated charcoal, in this study, researchers used rice husk activated charcoal, where rice husk is very abundant and abundant so it is easy to obtain. The results of the study, the iron content in water experienced the greatest decrease of 0.06 mg/L after soaking for 120 minutes, followed by a decrease of 1.78 mg/L (96%), thus making the iron content in water below the specified value. Thus, rice husk activated carbon effectively reduces iron content in water.Thus, it can be confirmed that activated charcoal from rice husks is effective in reducing iron levels in water.

A nil sentence is very appropriate to apply to defendants whose verdict is sentenced to death, such as in the case of Muhammad Natsir and Heru Hidayat. However, the Dimas Kanjeng case certainly raises a different problem, where the panel of judges imposed a maximum prison sentence of 20 years, so if there are other cases the verdict must be nil. This means that the defendant, who was previously sentenced to 20 years in prison, was not increased to life imprisonment. Another problem is the lack of integrated administration between courts which results in overlapping criminal sanctions that exceed 20 years. Tstelsel's absorption in a sharpened realist concursus states that it is necessary to review the level between crimes that have permanent legal force and crimes that have just been revealed based on higher criminal threats, so that the implementation of a nil sentence achieves the principles of legal certainty, justice and expediency. The implementation of the nil sentence must be socialized to the wider community, especially in the case of Dimas Kanjeng and Muhammad Natsir, who in their decision were sentenced to a nil sentence because they had previously been sentenced to death. The aim of the outreach is to ensure that there is no misunderstanding of the defendant's release from criminal sanctions, because a zero verdict arises because the verdict has been maximum and can no longer be handed down. Judges need to interpret in more depth the basic reasons for giving a nil verdict which is linked to SEMA No. 1 of 2022 to better ensure justice and benefits for society, which of course is adjusted to the legal facts obtained during the trial period.

Economic development is a multidimensional change process that covers various aspects and affects the quality of life and human welfare. Economic development can be approached regionally through mapping regions and growth centers (growth pools) with the aim of achieving efficient production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. Sectorally, the tourism sector is a sector that absorbs labor, captures community economic efforts, attracts tourists and brings in foreign exchange. Therefore, encouraging tourism development can create wider employment opportunities and accelerate economic growth and employment. The aim of this research is to determine the influence of the number of tourists and investment in hotels and restaurants in the tourism industry sector of the city of Surabaya. The research used quantitative descriptive with secondary data for 2014-2023 obtained from the Department of Culture, Youth and Sports and Tourism of the City of Surabaya and data from BPS. The data collected is by tabulation, analysis and also document study. The results of research using the growth rate test and also the elasticity test show that the growth in the number of tourists (X1) has no effect on labor absorption (Y). investment growth (X2) influences labor absorption (Y). 

This study aims to project the number and pyramid of population and employment conditions of Kupang City in facing the demographic bonus in 2025-2030. Population projection is done using the spectrum application and employment conditions are seen based on the availability and absorption of labor. The results showed that there was an increase in population in Kupang during 2025-2030 with a stationary population pyramid.  The demographic bonus experienced by Kupang City has an impact on existing labor conditions, namely the availability of a potential workforce. However, unemployment remains a concern for the Kupang government. The existing business sectors in Kupang City in 2025-2030 are not able to keep up with the availability of labor, leading to high unemployment in 2025-2030.

This Community Empowerment Program involves delivering education on handwashing techniques and raising awareness about the dangers of drugs to children living in the Ar-Ridho Orphanage. Consisting of three stages, namely planning, implementation, and evaluation, this service successfully generated enthusiasm among the participants during the delivery of the materials and handwashing practice sessions. Good information absorption occurred because the material was tailored to their age. Socialization about drugs was also conducted with the aim of providing understanding of their dangers and encouraging them to stay away from drugs from an early age. This activity combines delivering material about drugs with interactive games and quizzes, strengthening the children's understanding of the risks of drug abuse. The results are expected to enhance their understanding and foster a spirit to stay away from drug abuse. Throughout the socialization process, the participants showed enthusiasm both when listening to the material and when practicing proper handwashing. This is because of the use of strategies, methods, and media tailored to their age, allowing participants to understand the socialization material well during this service. Therefore, there is a need for ongoing supervision from the caretakers at the orphanage to ensure the absorption of the taught material.
