Abstract

Tofu water is filtered water obtained in the process of making tofu. Filtered water contains nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, minerals, calories, phosphorus, and several other contents, such as B-complex vitamins. Besides having a high protein content, tofu water is very easily contaminated by bacteria, especially coliform bacteria. Coliform bacteria in beverages are enteropathogenic and toxigenic microorganisms that are harmful to health, so it is dangerous for those who consume tofu water or soy milk. The purpose of this study was to identify coliform bacteria in tofu water in Indonesia. Specifically, to determine the results of eight studies on the number of coliform bacteria in tofu water in Indonesia with the MPN (most probable number) method. The type of research used in this research is a literature study that summarizes some literature relevant to the research topic. According to the results of the literature study in eight journals using the MPN Coliform examination, out of a total of 48 samples that tested positive, 25 samples were found to contain Coliform bacteria. This is due to inadequate sanitary conditions, processing, as well as the raw material, namely the water used to make tofu water or soymilk water, which is suspected of being contaminated with coliform bacteria. Conclusions and suggestions in this study are for consumers to be more careful in choosing and consuming tofu water or soymilk water that is sold so that health can be properly maintained.

Abstract

Air pollution is the presence of pollutant materials in the atmosphere which in certain concentrations will disrupt the dynamic balance of the atmosphere and have an effect on humans and the environment. One of the air pollutant gases is carbon monoxide (CO), which is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-irritating, flammable and highly toxic gas, and does not dissolve in water. Motorcycle repair shop workers are very vulnerable to exposure to CO gas while at work. The purpose of this study was to identify carbon monoxide in the blood of motorbike repair workers in Mamajang sub-district, Makassar city. This type of research is laboratory observation, namely research carried out based on direct observation. The results of research conducted using the formalin test method obtained negative results in 10 samples marked by the formation of brown coagulate in a porcelain cup. It can be concluded that 10 samples were negative or below 25% saturation.

Abstract

Pinang (Areca catechu L.) is one of the plants in the Palmae family. The practice of consuming betel nut has been a long-standing tradition among some Indonesian communities. The parts of the betel nut most commonly consumed are the seeds and the young fruit husk. The husk is often mixed with betel leaf and lime, and its benefits have traditionally been used for medicinal purposes. To assess the quality and nutritional value of this food ingredient, it is necessary to conduct an analysis of macronutrient content and antioxidant potential. The use of antioxidant compounds is becoming more widespread as public understanding of their role in inhibiting degenerative diseases and premature aging grows. It is known that betel nut husk contains numerous antioxidant compounds that operate by capturing free radicals. The objective of this research is to determine the macronutrient content through proximate analysis and the antioxidant activity (IC50) of betel nut husk. Proximate analysis includes total water content (determined using thermogravimetry), total ash content (via dry ashing), total protein content (measured using the Kjeldahl method), total fat content (via Soxhlet extraction), carbohydrate content, and crude fiber content. The results obtained indicate a total water content of 9.10%, total ash content of 4.36%, total protein content of 5.92%, total fat content of 0.83%, carbohydrate content of 79.8%, and crude fiber content of 49.57%. Meanwhile, the antioxidant activity value (IC50) of the methanol fraction is 45.27 µg/mL. These test results show that the methanol extract from betel nut husk contains compounds with potential as antioxidants

Abstract

Cervical cancer ranks among the leading causes of death worldwide, with Indonesia experiencing a significant impact, ranking second after breast cancer in the country and eighth in Southeast Asia. The disease affects approximately 500,000 Indonesian women annually, resulting in over 50% are death. Various methods have been developed to treat cancer, one of which is by using radiation therapy or radiotherapy. Based on the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), of the 10.9 million people diagnosed with cancer worldwide each year, around 50% require radiotherapy. The use of radiation for cancer therapy has not been widely used and is still limited in Indonesia. The purpose of this paper is to describe the basic concepts of radiotherapy and radiotherapy techniques that are appropriate in treating cervical cancer. The research method used was a literature search in the form of theory and research data related to the basic concept of radiation and its use in cancer therapy/radiotherapy, especially in cervical cancer. The results of a literature search found that the main goal of radiotherapy is to maximize the therapeutic ratio between Tumor Control Probability (TCP) and Normal Tissue Complication Probability (NTCP). Where the radiation dose received by the tumor is as maximal as possible from the dose prescription determined by a clinical doctor, while the dose that affects healthy organs around the tumor is as minimal as possible. There are 2 methods used in radiotherapy treatment, namely internal radiotherapy (Brachytherapy) and external radiotherapy. The use of appropriate methods for the treatment of cervical cancer is expected to help patients in their treatment and reduce the number of deaths from cervical cancer.

Abstract

Food is a source of energy for the body to be able to carry out various activities (Ministry of Health, 2015). We can find various types of food easily, both traditional food and food that follows society's taste trends. One of the foods that is a favorite food for all groups, both children, adults and the elderly, is meatballs. The problem with food circulating in the community is that traders want the food they sell to be durable or long-lasting, so many traders use chemical preservatives to make the food can be stored for a long time. The aim of this research is to determine whether or not there is borax in meatballs and yellow noodles sold at Central Market, Wajo District, Makassar City using the tumeric (turmeric) method. This research is a descriptive observational study with a cross sectional study design to identify the borax content in meatballs and yellow noodles. The results of this research show that the majority of samples examined in this study did not contain the chemical borax, namely 83.3% and only 16.7% of samples were found to contain borax. The meatballs sold at the Wajo District Central Market are suitable for consumption by the public, but still pay attention to the possibility of food that still uses the preservative borax.
