Reproductive  health education should be given since early childhood by using language that is adapted to the stage of development. If you procrastinate and wait until the teenager it is already too late because in the days of the digital era, as now, all the information can be easily accessed by anyone including children early age. If the early childhood misinformed about their reproductive organs it would disrupt the physical and psychological development due to the wrong behavior in caring for and maintaining reproductive organs. Qur’an as the holy book of Muslims describes the steps of reproduction and  imparting education wisely as well as how to apply such education. This kind of education must be in accordance with the conditions of children and there should not be a lie about it We can also use media and methods such as pictures, songs, tap or other visual  media which can give clearer information, so that children can clearly see parts of the body, their characteristics, and how to treat and care them. The impropriate approach in conveying this kind of knowledge will be very dangerous for children. The provision of early age reproductive organs education can prevent the occurrence of deviant behavior as well as protect children from dangerous influence in early childhood development.

Published: November 2019

Introduction. Psoriasis is a relatively common chronic inflammatory disease. It clinically manifests as raised, well defined erythematous plaques with irregular borders and silvery scales. Psoriasis appears to be mediated by abnormal immune system functioning, including T lymphocyte and macrophage activation and release of various cytokins, such as interleukin 12 (IL-12) and IL-23. Recently a new biologic agent Ustekinumab has been used in the treatment of psoriasis. Our aim in this study was to assess the efficacy and tolerability of ustekinumab in moderate to severe psoriasis vulgaris and to observe and report any adverse reaction.

Material and Methods. Thirty five psoriatic patients above the age of 18 years having moderate to severe psoriasis were included in this study. Ustekinumab is available in pre-filled syringe 45mg/0.5ml, 90mg/1.0ml for subcutaneous injection according to body weight at the intervals of 0, 4 weeks, and then every 12 weeks. It is given in hospital by a doctor or specialist nurse. The assessment of the patients’ condition and improvement was carried out after administering each dose using PASI score.

Results. Thirty five patients were included in this study. Baseline PASI score of our patients ranged from 11.4 to 39.8 (mean: 21.1).There was a dramatic response to treatment with ustekinumab in which PASI decreased to 6.7 after the second dose, followed by subsequent responses that reached 2.6 after the 6th dose. After the second dose, 61% of the cases had marked improvement and 11% had clearance of their skin lesions. After the last, sixth dose there was a marked improvement in 65% of cases and the percentage of complete clearance increased to 24%. Ustekinumab had positive effect on psoriatic nail changes as well-there was a significant improvement in 50% of cases and complete clearance (cure) in 24% of cases.

Conclusion: Ustekinumab is effective in the treatment of severe and resistant cases of psoriasis vulgaris. It is well tolerated by the patients. No reactions or serious side effects have been reported.

Sejak disahkannya Undang-Undang tentang Desa adalah merupakan sejarah bagi desa di Indonesia. Desa selama ini hanya dianggap sebagai obyek dan cukup menjalankan instruksi saja. Dana desa merupakan amunisi baru yang membuat desa dapat membangun diri. Tetapi di sisi lain menjadi tantangan yang benar-benar berbeda dari sejarah desa sebelumnya. Masalahnya, sampai saat ini berbagai data menyebut bahwa sebagian besar BUMDes masih sebatas berdiri dan belum memiliki aktivitas usaha yang menghasilkan. Agar BUMDes benar benar memiliki peran dalam peningkatan perekonomian demi terwujudnya kesejahteraan masyarakat desa maka diperlukan pengelolaan administrasi desa dan BUMDes yang memadai didukung oleh sumber daya manusia yang berkualitas. Dengan demikian salah satu kendala minimnya peran BUMDes di Ellak Daya Kecamatan Lenteng adalah minimnya Sumber Daya yang mumpuni dalam mengelola BUMDes. Sehingga  penyelenggaraan BUMDes yang telah berjalan maksimal masih dalam hitungan jari. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilaksanakan dalam bentuk penyuluhan dan pembekalan pengetahuan kepada beberapa aparatur pemerintah dan khususnya kepada pengurus BUMDes.

This inventory serves to ensure the availability of appropriate resources in the right quantity and at the right time, so as to minimize the costs incurred. PT. Transplants Indonesia is a company engaged in the business of chrysanthemum flower in Indonesia. PT. Transplants Indonesia is a subsidiary of Okinawa Flower Agricultural Cooperative Association (OKF) in Okinawa, Japan. The purpose of this company establishment is to meet the demand of farmers who are members of the OKF. In the case of backorder, on Q method with probabilistic request the size of the lottery (Q) is always fixed for every time the order is made and the order is made if the amount of inventory has reached a certain level (r) called the reorder point. In method P with probabilistic order requests made according to a fixed interval of time (T) and the ordering does not exceed the maximum inventory limit (R). Total Inventory cost incurred by the company using the method used by the company amounted to Rp.74.995.360,84. The inventory model using the Q method generates a total inventory cost of Rp.70.253.291,46. Meanwhile, inventory model using P method resulted in total inventory cost of Rp.71.529.327,17. So economically, the selected inventory model is the inventory model with the Q method which has a lower total inventory cost value than using the P method.

In supporting the product distribution to its customers, PT XYZ has several administrative offices and distribution centers (DC) which spread across each region. The DC has main function as the warehouse which has storage activity before the products are distributed.

One of the DC is located in Bandung, West Java. DC Bandung itself received product shipments from three factories, such as Cibitung, Cakung and Tambun. Related to the product shipment, DC Bandung has not determined the replenishment policy, and this condition results over stock at some periods, due to the unscheduled delivery time and undetermined product quantity. This condition gives a big impact to the total inventory cost that has to be borne by DC Bandung.

This research was conducted to give the proposal of product replenishment policy with mixed-integer programming method, as one of the linear programming types, which aimed to minimize over stock and total holding cost in DC Bandung. Mathematical model is also involved in this research as an approximation to the real replenishment system in the DC.

The results of application of the proposed method are in the form of analytical solution, such as order quantity, and reorder point of each product that will give an impact to the total unit inventory and the total holding cost in the DC. The results calculation of replenishment policy provide savings on total inventory costs as much as IDR 23,800,981.20

Authors: Taher Forqan Jabbar
Published: November 2019

Eucalyptus trees are evergreen, fast growing and widely cultivated in Iraq. Its leaves, buds, capsules and even seeds contain several compounds that have antimicrobilal activity.
Fresh leaves were collected and let dry in shade at room temperature then alcoholic and aqueous stock ‎solution (200mg/ml) of leaves extract was prepared in 10% DMSO from which ‎different concentrations were done. Antibiotic susceptibility test was performed by disk diffusion method using FLU, KCA, MCL, ECN and ITC antibiotics. Leaves extracts were also examined for its antifungal activity then the MIC and MFC were determined using microdilution method.
KCA, ECN and MCL were the most effective antifungal drugs on most isolates. Only two isolates were resistant to all antibiotics and one isolate showed sensitivity to all antibiotics under study.
The methanolic and ethanolic extract of Eucalyptus leaves extract showed the highest inhibitory influence on fungal growth in comparison with the aqueous extract. Furthermore, Alcoholic extracts showed MIC at 50mg/ml and MFC at 100mg/ml. The aqueous extract of Eucalyptus had no inhibitory effect on the growth of all Aspergillus isolates.
The results of the present research showed the potential antifungal activity of the Eucalyptus microtheca leaves extract against the aflatoxigenic A. niger and A. flavus, which is an indication of the fungicidal value of the plant extract.

Efavirenz is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor and attributed to the group of antiretroviral medicines used for treatment of HIV infection. For efavirenz determination the method of HPLC is widely used, but efavirenz is applied in high concentration and less sensitive methods of analysis such as spectrophotometry may be useful for its quantification. The aim is to develop UV-spectrophotometric procedures of efavirenz quantification and carry out step-by-step validation of the developed procedures. UV-spectra of efavirenz in 96% ethanol and 0.1 M sodium hydroxide solution have been investigated and the absorption maximums are observed at 247 nm and 267 nm respectively. The procedures of efavirenz quantitative determination by the method of UV-spectrophotometry have been developed using the mentioned solvents and
wavelengths respectively. Their validation by such parameters as stability, linearity, accuracy and precision in the variants
of the method of calibration curve, method of standard and method of additions has been carried out. All procedures of efavirenz quantitative determination are acceptable for application. The best linearity, accuracy and repeatability have been
fixed for the procedure with application of 0.1 M sodium hydroxide solution as a solvent in the variant of the method of
additions.
