Biodiversity in Indonesia is home to medicinal plants in the world, including Nothopanax scutellarium Merr., Moringa oliefera Lam., Piper betle L. Several researchers have examined the active compounds contained in these plants. This study focused on preliminary phytochemistry and FTIR analysis of leaf extracts of Nothopanax scutellarium Merr., Moringa oliefera Lam., Piper betle L. Phytochemicals were extracted with ethanol 70% by maceration. The results showed that the active compounds of flavonoids, steroids, tannins, phenols, saponins, and alkaloids were present in the three leaves. FTIR analysis observed the main peak at wavenumber 3623.44 cm-1 in the mangkokan leaf extract, wavenumber 3690.64 cm-1 in the moringa leaf extract, and wavenumber 3683.89 cm-1 in the piper betle leaf extract. All of which showed the O-H phenol functional group.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan lama penggunaan kontrasepsi DMPA dengan obesitas. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode analitik cross sectional  terhadap 78 responden. Untuk mengukur lamanya penggunaan kontrasepsi DMPA digunakan kuesioner dan untuk mengukur obesitas dilakukan pengukuran BMI. Analisis data menggunakan uji Chi-Square dengan CI 95% dan α = 0,05. Sebanyak 20,5% akseptor kontrasepsi DMPA dengan lama penggunaan DMPA 3-18 bulan mengalami obesitas, sedangkan akseptor yang menggunakan kontrasepsi DMPA >18 bulan sebanyak 59% mengalami obesitas dengan p value 0,001. Terdapat hubungan antara lama penggunaan kontrasepsi DMPA dengan obesitas.

Breast milk was a food source to meet all the baby's needs for nutrients. Early initiation of breastfeeding may improve survival of children, improve health status, and improve brain development and motoric.  Efforts to improve the health of infants with exclusive breastfeeding can be done by involving students with the mentoring process. This studied aims to find out the level of success of mentoring by students on the provision of breastfeeding exclusive in Aceh Province. The project design was cross-sectional study with a number of subjects were 86 infant under two years. The sampling technique uses cluster sampling. Data analyses using Chi-Square test. The results of the studied found that of 43 respondents who received a breastmilk income, 76,7% gave exclusive breastfeeding and 23,3% did not give exclusive breastfeeding.  Then of 43 respondents who did not get the assistance, as 53,5% gave exclusive breastfeeding, and 46,5% did not give exclusive breastfeeding. Results known to have a significant relationship between mentoring with exclusive breastfeeding (p= 0,020). Students mentoring is effective in increasing the provision of exclusive breastfeeding to infant under two years of age. ASI merupakan sumber makanan untuk memenuhi semua kebutuhan nutrisi pada bayi. Inisiasi menyusui dini dapat meningkatkan kelangsungan hidup anak-anak, meningkatkan status kesehatan, dan meningkatkan perkembangan otak dan motorik. Upaya meningkatkan kesehatan bayi dengan pemberian ASI eksklusif dapat dilakukan dengan melibatkan siswa dengan proses pendampingan. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat keberhasilan pendampingan oleh siswa tentang pemberian ASI eksklusif di Provinsi Aceh. Desain penelitian adalah studi cross-sectional dengan jumlah subjek 86 anak di bawah dua tahun. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan cluster sampling. Analisis data menggunakan uji Chi-Square. Hasil penelitian menujukkan bahwa dari hasil pendampingan oleh siswa terdapat 76,7% yang telah memberikan ASI eksklusif. Sedangkan tidak mendapatkan pendampingan hanya sebesar 53,5% yang memberikan ASI eksklusif. Terdapat hubungan signifikan antara pendampingan dengan pemberian ASI eksklusif (p= 0,020). Kesimpulan, pendampingan siswa efektif dalam meningkatkan pemberian ASI eksklusif untuk bayi di bawah usia dua tahun. Saran, perlu penguatan kepada dinas pendidikan bahwa lintas sektor ini sangat bagus dalam meningkatkan kesehatan masyarakat.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a condition in which the myocardium does not get enough blood and oxygen supply. Modifiable risk factors for CHD include hypertension and diabetes melitus. This study aims to determine the prevalence of history of hypertension and diabetes melitus in coronary heart disease patients at Regional Government Hospital dr. Zainoel Abidin (RSUDZA) Banda Aceh. A cross sectional study with secondary data collection. The data collection method used retrospective medical records of inpatients at the cardiology department of RSUDZA. Data of 33 patients with coronary heart disease was recorded and analyzed. Results shows the majority of male patients with an age range of 56-65 years.
