Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is one of the spice plants found in Indonesia that is useful as a drug, containing secondary metabolite compounds flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, and essential oils that are antibacterial. The purpose of this study was to find out the comparison of the effectiveness of red ginger extract and ginger emprit against the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. This study is an Experimental Laboratories study using true experimental design with the design of Post Test Only Control Group Design. Where extracts of red ginger and ginger emprit are obtained by the maceration method which is then varied into several concentration treatments namely 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% as well as positive control of ciprofloxacin and dmso negative control, followed by disc diffusion methods to test antibacterial activity, analyzed statistically using the One Way Anova test. The results showed that red ginger extract and ginger emprit were able to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria with weak to moderate activity. The final results showed a value of p<001 so that at least there was a meaningful average between the data groups of red ginger extract and ginger emprit. The conclusion of this study was that at a concentration of 100% red ginger extract was more effective in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria with a bland zone of 17.83 mm compared to emprit ginger extract with a bland zone large of 17.16 mm. The advice we give that red ginger more quickly inhibits bacteria so it is very well consumed and becomes an alternative non-pharmacological treatment.

Although there is no specific research that documents the effects and economic crisis that hit all countries in the world when the Covid 19 pandemic occurred on pregnancy outcomes, research conducted over three decades shows that it is clear that babies born to mothers who experience CED have an average weight birth weight 2,568 grams or 390.9 grams lower than mothers who do not experience CED. This study aims to determine the weaknesses and needs of the MCH surveillance system in the Pangkep District. Includes methods for collecting MCH surveillance data, analyzing and presenting data, dissemination, and utilization of MCH surveillance data. Based on the results of this evaluation, it can be concluded that the surveillance system for the MCH program in Pangkep Regency is generally running well, some of which still need to be improved are the ability of MCH officers in terms of data analysis, submission of feedback and timely reporting Keywords: Surveillance, Health Program Evaluation, Mother and Child ABSTRAK Krisis ekonomi yang melanda seluruh negara di dunia ssat terjadi pandemi Covid 19 terhadap outcome kehamilan, namun penelitian yang dilakukan dalam tiga tahun terakhir menunjukkan bahwa bayi yang lahir dari ibu yang mengalami KEK mempunyai rata rata berat badan lahir 2.568 gram atau 390,9 gram lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan ibu ang tidak mengalami KEK. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kelemahan dan kebutuhan sistem surveilans KIA di Kabupaten Pangkep. Meliputi cara pengumpulan data surveilans KIA, pengolahan analisis dan penyajian data, cara penyebarluasan dan cara pemanfaatan data hasil surveilans KIA. Bedasarkan hasil evaluasi tersebut dapat di simpulkan bahwa system surveilans program KIA di Kabupaten Pangkep pada umumnya sudah berjalan baik, beberapa yang masih perlu ditingkatkan adalah kemampuan petugas KIA dalam hal Analisa data, penyampaian umpan balik dan ketepatan waktu pelaporan.

Alkaline water is drinking water that can be drunk directly because it meets the requirements for drinking water quality. Alkaline water has a pH above 7 so this water is alkaline which can neutralize the acidity in the body. This study aims to determine how much iron (Fe) is dissolved in alkaline water. The initial stage of this research is to obtain data on people who consume alkaline water as their daily drinking water. Furthermore, the sampling used purposive sampling method, based on the sample criteria, namely alkaline water treatment which sourced from well water, rain water and PDAM water. The last step is to analyze the levels of iron (Fe) with laboratory tests at the Center for Environmental Health Engineering and Disease Control Class 1 Makassar. The time of the study began in July 2022. The sample of this study was taken as many as 3 samples. This research method uses an Inductively Couple Plasma spectrometer to determine the level of iron (Fe) in alkaline water. Based on the laboratory tests that have been carried out, the results of the three samples did not exceed the normal limit set by the Minister of Health, namely 0.3 mg/L.

Every pregnant woman will face the risk of complications that can threaten her life. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes toward the implementation of serological screening (HIV, Syphilis, Hepatitis B, and Rubella) in pregnant women at the Tourism Hospital, University of East Indonesia. This type of research is quantitative analytical research with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study consisted of all pregnant women registered at the University of East Indonesia Tourism Hospital from January to June 2022 with a total of 42 respondents. Using purposive sampling techniques, 42 samples were taken. Data were collected with questionnaires and observation sheets. Data were analyzed by univariate and bivariate analysis with a chi-square test. The results showed that 23 respondents (54.8%) had poor knowledge, 24 respondents (57.1%) had negative attitudes, and 24 respondents (57.1%) had abnormal serological screening results. Based on the results of statistical analysis, it was found that there was a relationship between knowledge (p-value 0.001 <0.05) and attitudes (p-value 0.003 <0.05) toward the implementation of serological screening in pregnant women. Therefore, women can know and always do serological screening regularly and according to gestational age.
