GoSend as an instant delivery service from Gojek plays an important role in meeting the demand for fast and reliable delivery. However, there are still challenges in terms of service quality, customer satisfaction, and competitiveness in the digital logistics industry. This study analyzes GoSend's electronic service quality attributes using the Kano Model to identify the factors that most influence customer satisfaction. The quantitative method is applied through a survey of 206 GoSend users in Semarang, with the integration of E-Servqual indicators and Kano Model attributes. The results of the study show that most service attributes fall into the "Indifferent" category, meaning they do not have a significant effect on customer satisfaction. However, attributes such as transaction data security and item conditions fall into the "One-Dimensional" category, so improvements in these aspects can increase customer satisfaction. The analysis of the Extent of Satisfaction (EOS) and Extent of Dissatisfaction (EOD) shows that responsiveness to complaints and service personalization still need to be improved. Based on these findings, strategic recommendations that can be given are increasing customer service responsiveness, optimizing compensation policies, and strengthening security systems to increase customer trust. The integration of the Kano Model with E-Servqual provides a comprehensive evaluation of the quality of digital logistics services while also being a guide for GoSend in increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty amidst increasingly fierce competition.

Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), Alanine Transaminase (ALT), Aspartate Transaminase (AST), and Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) are liver enzymes commonly associated with liver dysfunction, and increased or decreased levels of these enzymes may be implicated in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. This study aims to evaluate the levels of liver enzymes (ALP, ALT, AST, and GGT) in preeclamptic pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy. By analyzing these enzymes, the research seeks to identify potential early indicators of preeclampsia. Forty (40) consenting pregnant women were recruited from St. Philomina Catholic Hospital, Edo State, Nigeria. Blood samples were spun in a bucket centrifuge at 2500 RPM (rounds per minute) for 10 minutes, after which plasma was collected and stored frozen in plain sample bottles to be analyzed for liver enzymes (ALP, ALT, AST, and GGT) levels using the spectrophotometric method. Data obtained from the study were analyzed using Graph Pad Prism 9. Results were expressed as mean ± SEM, and a P-value of ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The present study showed a statistically significant increase in ALP, and a statistically significant decrease in liver enzymes such as ALT and AST were observed in preeclamptic women compared to normotensive pregnant women, indicating various underlying pathophysiological processes such as liver dysfunction.

At present, little is known in Nigeria and globally about the association between stress and cortisol secretion in normotensive and preeclamptic pregnant women. Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication that involves high blood pressure and organ damage, and it has been associated with various physiological alterations. This study aims to determine the comparative levels of cortisol, a stress marker, in preeclamptic pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy. Cortisol levels are known to fluctuate in response to stress, and altered levels may indicate an underlying pathophysiological process. Forty (40) consenting pregnant women were recruited from St. Philomina Catholic Hospital, Edo State, Nigeria. Blood samples were collected and spun in a bucket centrifuge at 2500 RPM (rounds per minute) for 10 minutes. The plasma was stored frozen in plain sample bottles and analyzed for cortisol levels using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. The data obtained were analyzed using GraphPad Prism 9 software. Results were expressed as mean ± SEM, and a P-value of ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The study found that cortisol levels significantly increased from 226.4 ± 36.53 nmol/L in normotensive women to 370.7 ± 36.47 nmol/L in preeclamptic women (p<0.05, <0.0081). This increase was statistically significant, suggesting that elevated cortisol levels in preeclamptic women may be linked to stress and potentially to oxidative stress cascade activation. These findings contribute to the understanding of stress-related physiological changes in preeclampsia and may offer insights for future diagnostic or therapeutic approaches.
