2025-12-05T01:44:49+00:00

In this case, Bhayangkara Presisi Hospital, Gorontalo Police is a public service institution that has a great responsibility to ensure that each work unit runs optimally. Therefore, this study aims to identify and evaluate employee performance at Bhayangkara Presisi Hospital, Gorontalo Police through 6 indicators in various work units, such as Medical Records, General Services, Logistics, Planning and Administration (Renmin). This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews . The results of the study indicate that the majority of employees have carried out their duties well according to their educational background, although technical ssstraining is not evenly distributed. Employees show a good understanding of their duties, ability to coordinate, high work motivation, and a professional level of loyalty to their superiors. However, there are still some shortcomings in facilities such as computers and fingerprint devices in several divisions. Performance evaluations are also carried out routinely by superiors through direct observation, and assessments based on documents such as SKP.

APPLICATION OF EXCIPIENT CO-PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY FOR SAMBILOTO EXTRACT TABLETS

2025-12-05T01:45:24+00:00

This study aims to examine the application of excipient co-processing technology based on microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) in the formulation of sambiloto extract tablets. Sambiloto extract which is rich in active compounds andrographolide has the potential as an immunomodulator and antiviral, but the physicochemical characteristics of the extract which are hygroscopic, incompressible, and difficult to flow cause challenges in the tablet formulation process. Co-processing technology is expected to improve the flow properties of the powder, compressibility, and dissolution rate of the tablet. The study was conducted experimentally by making five tablet formulas (F1–F5) using variations in the composition of co-processed excipients. Evaluation of parameters such as angle of repose, carr index , hardness, friability, disintegration time, and dissolution rate showed that the higher the content of co-processed excipients, the better the quality of the tablets. Formula F4 (MCC:HPMC 70:30) gave the best result with angle of repose of 29.5°, carr index of 13.8%, hardness of 6.3 kg/cm², friability of 0.4%, disintegration time of 18 minutes, and dissolution rate of 89% in 60 minutes. This result meets the standard of Indonesian Pharmacopoeia and BPOM RI requirements. Thus, the excipient co-processing technology has proven to be effective in improving the technological properties of sambiloto extract tablets and is feasible to be applied in industrial scale production.

IDENTIFICATION OF TAENIA SAGINATA WORMS IN BEEF AT TRADITIONAL MARKET (THURSDAY-FRIDAY) BONE BOLANGO DISTRICT

2025-12-05T01:46:13+00:00

Cattle are animals that are raised by many people compared to other livestock. Cows can produce various benefits such as as as a source of milk, as a working animal in rice fields, and meat producers and for the fulfillment of food needs, especially animal protein, beef in addition to having high nutritional value beef is also a medium for the growth of diseases, one of which is Taeniasis caused by the worm parasite Taenia saginata. The purpose of this study was to identify Taenia saginata tapeworm in beef sold at the Traditional Market (Thursday-Friday) of Bone Bolango Regency. The type of research used is a qualitative approach with observational sample collection techniques. The type of data used is primary data in the form of research results and secondary data in the form of data from literature, parasite atlases, and previous penelit I data. This study uses descriptive data analysis techniques, namely describing the morphological characteristics of the Taenia saginata worm based on microscopic observations. The results obtained during this study were that out of 10 beef samples that were used as the object of study, Taenia saginata worms were found positive in 4 samples while 6 other samples were found positive for Oesophagustomum sp and Cooperia sp worms.

DESCRIPTION OF SERUM GAMMA GLUTAMYL TRANSFERASE LEVELS IN CONSUMERS OF TRADITIONAL ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES IN GORONTALO CITY

2025-12-05T01:45:39+00:00

Alcohol is an addictive and psychoactive substance that causes changes in the body's systems, both acute and chronic. Alcohol abuse can cause various malfunctions in human organs, such as the liver and pancreas, and trigger cancer. Traditional alcoholic beverages can cause multiple health problems. This research method uses descriptive cross-sectional research, which is observational research with a quantitative approach. The population in this study consisted of people in Gorontalo who consumed traditional alcoholic beverages. The sample used was 15, and the sampling techniques used were purposive. The results obtained Gamma Glutamyl Transferaselevels of traditional alcoholic beverage consumers in Gorontalo city who have normal serum gamma-glutamyl transferase age category 10-18 amounted to 2 people (13.33%), age category 19-27 years amounted to 10 people (86.67%). Most of the respondents who made the research sample had a frequency of consumption of traditional alcoholic drinks per week 1 time as many as 10 people (66.67%) and a frequency of consumption of conventional alcoholic drinks per week 2-3 times as many as 5 people (33.33%). Most respondents who made the research sample consumed traditional alcoholic beverages for less than 5 years, totaling 11 people (73.33%), consuming traditional alcoholic drinks for less than 5 - 10 years, totaling 4 people (26.67%).

THE IDENTIFICATION OF Escherichia coli BACTERIA IN SKEWERED MEATBALLS IN CENTRAL GORONTALO CITY

2025-12-05T01:45:07+00:00

Skewered meatballs are a type of snack food made from flour and meat, formed into balls and then boiled. Meatballs are a gel product made from protein derived from meat, including beef, chicken, fish, or shrimp. The quality of meatballs can vary significantly due to differences in raw materials and additional ingredients used, the proportion of meat to flour, and the manufacturing process.The aim is to identify Escherichia coli bacteria in skewered meatball snacks in the Central City of Gorontalo. This research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach. It is a type of descriptive research.The study's results identified Escherichia coli bacteria in skewered meatballs in the Central City of Gorontalo, where 2 out of 5 samples tested positive for Escherichia coli. The study concludes that the skewered meatballs sold in the Central City of Gorontalo contain Escherichia Coli. The skewered meatballs sold in the Central City of Gorontalo still lack cleanliness and hygiene such as the selling area, and the containers or tools used are not given suffuient attention.

WORK FATIGUE IN THE MINING INDUSTRY: A LITERATURE REVIEW OF FACTORS, IMPACTS, AND MEASUREMENT STRATEGIES

2025-12-05T01:44:34+00:00

Work fatigue is one of the crucial issues in the mining industry that has a significant impact on safety, health, and work productivity. This study aims to comprehensively examine the factors causing work-related fatigue, its impact on workers, and the measurement strategies used in various mining work contexts. This is done through a systematic literature review of national and international publications, particularly from the past five years (2019-2025). This study employs the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, utilising academic databases such as Scopus and Google Scholar, resulting in the synthesis of 10 articles. The results of the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) indicate that work-related fatigue is influenced by various factors such as age, tenure, shift systems, physical and mental workloads, and extreme work environment conditions. Additionally, psychosocial factors such as work-related stress, work-life balance, and production target pressures were also identified as significant contributors to work-related fatigue. The strategies for measuring fatigue in this study varied, ranging from subjective methods such as the MFI-20 questionnaire, SCL-90, PHQ-9, and GAD-7, to objective approaches such as wearable sensors, operational data from heavy machinery, and the application of machine learning for real- time fatigue prediction in underground mines. The findings of this review emphasise the importance of a multidimensional approach in assessing work-related fatigue and the need for integrated interventions that include shift work management, workload control, technology-based operator condition monitoring, and mental health support programmes.
