Body scrub is a type of cosmetic preparation that has seen increased use, particularly with the incorporation of natural ingredients as its base. Belimbing wuluh (Averrhoa bilimbi Linn.) is a traditional medicinal plant known for its high content of saponins, flavonoids, tannins, glycosides, and formic acid, all of which contribute to its significant antioxidant activity. This makes it a promising candidate for development into a cosmetic product for skin care. This study involved the formulation of body scrub preparations using A. bilimbi powder, with variations in triethanolamine (TEA) as an emulsifying and alkalizing agent to optimize the resulting product formula, which was then tested physically. The A. bilimbi fruit was processed into simplicia, which was subsequently ground and formulated into three different body scrub formulas. These three formulas were subjected to organoleptic tests, homogeneity tests, and pH tests to assess the impact of varying TEA concentrations. The results indicate that TEA influences the texture and pH values of the body scrub preparations. However, the distribution of the preparations based on the homogeneity test results showed no significant differences among the three formulas. The study identified Formula II, with a 3% TEA concentration, as the most optimal formula, meeting SNI standards for pH and demonstrating the best organoleptic properties among the three formulas.

According to a survey in the United States conducted in 2019, only one-third of Catholics in the US agree with the Catholic Church that the Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Christ. Two-thirds do not believe in the Real Presence. They argue that the Eucharist is just a symbol, not really the Body and Blood of Christ, not Jesus Christ. This article seeks to answer doubts that the Eucharistic form (consecrated bread and wine) is the Body and Blood of Christ by reflecting on the meaning of the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi). This article is important to overcome the crisis of faith that is weakening the Catholic Church. The method used in this article is a literature study.

The increasing use of conventional medical supplies has led to significant environmental challenges due to waste accumulation and the chemical exposure risks faced by healthcare workers. Despite ongoing efforts to adopt environmentally friendly materials, there is a lack of comprehensive studies that combine Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) with direct monitoring of worker exposure. This study aims to compare the environmental and health impacts of biodegradable versus conventional medical supplies by assessing their life-cycle stages, energy consumption, carbon footprint, and hazardous exposure risks. A novel comparative approach was adopted, integrating LCA to evaluate raw material extraction, production, usage, and disposal processes, alongside monitoring the occupational exposure to chemical residues from medical supplies. The results indicate that biodegradable medical supplies reduce environmental footprint by approximately 40%, lower energy consumption, and generate less waste compared to conventional plastics. Additionally, the study shows that biodegradable materials pose a significantly reduced risk of chemical exposure to healthcare workers, offering a safer alternative. However, biodegradable materials present limitations, such as availability, durability, and higher initial costs, which need to be addressed for widespread implementation. The findings emphasize the importance of integrating sustainable practices in healthcare settings, offering actionable insights for hospital management and regulatory bodies. Future research is recommended to further explore the cost-effectiveness of biodegradable materials, conduct large-scale trials, and investigate alternative material types. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on environmental sustainability and occupational safety in healthcare, providing a valuable framework for future policy and operational decisions.

The aviation industry is one of the service sectors. Due to its large number of users, safety is the primary concern in this industry. To ensure this safety, routine maintenance of operating aircraft is crucial, leading to the emergence of the aircraft maintenance industry. Due to the safety factors of the workpiece, installing ladders requires a significant workforce to supervise the workpiece, namely the aircraft itself, to prevent the ladder from hitting the aircraft body, which can result in COPQ (Cost Of Poor Quality). However, the use of many workers for ladder installation is considered inefficient because the maintenance process could be expedited if these workers could be utilized to install ladders on other parts of the aircraft. Therefore, if maintenance can be completed more quickly, the aircraft can return to flight sooner, meeting the airline's flight demands. Addressing this issue, this study aims to facilitate the ladder installation and removal process, thereby reducing the potential for collisions and ensuring the ladder is positioned at the required distance. This is achieved through ultrasonic sensors mounted on the work ladder, connected to a motor via Arduino Uno. The motor will stop when the input from the ultrasonic sensor reaches the predetermined distance. Additionally, if the aircraft tail moves while the ladder is installed, the system will automatically adjust the ladder's position to maintain the necessary distance, thus minimizing losses during aircraft maintenance.
