THE EFFECT OF STEAMED PURPLE SWEET POTATOES ON BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS IN STUDENTS OF THE NUTRITION STUDY PROGRAM AT BINA MANDIRI UNIVERSITY, GORONTALO
Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is a tuber with many advantages compared to other tubers and is the fourth-largest source of carbohydrates in Indonesia, after rice, corn, and cassava. The high carbohydrate content of sweet potatoes makes them a good source of calories. The carbohydrate content in sweet potatoes is low on the glycemic index, meaning it does not significantly raise blood sugar levels when consumed. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of steamed purple sweet potato on blood glucose levels in students. This research is an analytical experimental study with a quantitative approach using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population and sample in this study consist of students, with a sample size of 35 respondents. The data used are primary and secondary, sourced from blood glucose tests conducted before and after the administration of steamed purple sweet potato. The data analysis includes univariate and bivariate analyses, descriptive tests, and the Wilcoxon rank test. Based on the research results, it was shown that the p-value = <.001 (p < 0.05), therefore (H0 is rejected), which means there is an effect of consuming steamed purple sweet potatoes on blood sugar levels in students. Steamed purple sweet potatoes tend not to significantly raise blood glucose levels in students due to their low glycemic index and high fiber content, which helps slow sugar absorption. However, excessive consumption can increase blood sugar levels due to the residual sugar.

DRUG INFORMATION SERVICES WITH THE LEVEL OF COMPLIANCE OF HYPERTENSION PATIENTS AT THE DISTRICT COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER WEST PALELEH 2025
Hypertension is a progressive cardiovascular disease with a rising global prevalence. While patient adherence is a critical determinant of therapeutic success, maintaining consistent compliance remains a significant challenge in primary healthcare. Objective: This study aims to analyze the influence of Drug Information Services (DIS) on the medication compliance levels of hypertension patients at the Paleleh Barat District Health Center. Methods: A quantitative descriptive study with a correlational design was conducted involving 174 hypertensive patients selected through purposeful sampling. Data were collected using validated structured questionnaires. Statistical analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate methods, specifically simple linear regression. Results: Descriptive analysis revealed that DIS was predominantly rated as "Good" (98.9%), and patient compliance was largely categorized as "High" (75.9%). However, the linear regression analysis yielded a significance value of p = 0.440 (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The findings indicate that Drug Information Services do not have a statistically significant direct effect on medication compliance at this facility. The lack of statistical significance is likely attributed to data homogeneity and the 'ceiling effect,' suggesting that adherence in this rural context is driven by external factors such as family support and intrinsic patient motivation.

Formalin is a chemical whose use is prohibited for food products.Formalin with its trade name is formaldehyde in water with a content of 30-40%. Formaldehyde contamination in foodstuffs is very harmful to the body. Formaldehyde can cause cancer of the respiratory tract and increase the risk of leukemiaThis study aims to determine the presence or absence of formalin content in tofu using purple sweet potato extract which was carried out using the maceration extraction method.Natural ingredients containing anthocyanins can be used as an alternative to formalin testing. This study used a qualitative research method using purple sweet potato extract as an inspection indicator because it contains anthocyanin which is capable of detecting the presence of formaldehyde in tofu by means of a color change reaction.anthocyanin which is amphoteric in nature which has the ability to react well with acidic and basic pH, if in an acidic medium the anthocyanin will turn red. Formalin is acidic, so when anthocyanin meets formalin it will produce a red color that is increasingly concentrated. Meanwhile, if the anthocyanin pigment does not change color to red or remains in its original color, then it does not contain formalin. Anthocyanins will change color as the pH value changes The results showed that the 19 tofu samples tested were declared negative as indicated by the absence of a reddish-blue discoloration reaction.
