Authors: Denta Mirnani
Published: February 2022

Academic procrastination can be stated as a procrastination tendency to start up or finish an academic assignment; thus, if the behavior is allowed, it will give bad impacts to the students. Therefore, it is needed a way that can be used to decrease the academic procrastination of the Senior High School (SMA) students, in which it is by using the peer counseling. This research aimed at discovering the effectiveness of peer counseling to decrease the academic procrastination tendency on the 11th grade students of Senior High School (SMA). This research was a quasi-experimental research using the pre-test post-test control group design. The research subjects were determined by using the purposive sampling, in which there were 20 students that consisted of 10 students of experimental group and 10 students of control group. The data collection method used the Tuckman Procrastination Scale (TPS) which analyzed by using the Wilcoxon analysis test and the Mann Whitney test. The research results showed that there was a difference on the score of academic procrastination (Z = -3,445; ρ = 0,001<0,05). Therefore, it can be concluded that the peer counseling can be used to decrease the academic procrastination tendency on the 11th grade students of Senior High School (SMA).

Published: February 2022

The mechanism behind the influence of a foreign language on the framing effect is still controversial, in terms of whether this influence is due to emotional resonance evoked by language or to the cognitive differences stemming from the language-switching process. We resolved this ambiguity
by conducting two experiments with Chinese students. In Study 1 we verified the influence of language (English, Chinese, pinyin) on the framing effect in the decision-making process. In Study 2 we controlled for cognitive processing activities using language translation instructions (switching
conditions) to examine the framing effect change in the decision-making process caused by differences in language statements. Our results show that emotional resonance was a crucial factor behind this phenomenon, and that cognitive factors were relevant when emotional resonance variables were
controlled for.

Authors: Yang Ruo , Yang Yongzhong , Song Xiaoting , Zhang Yu
Published: February 2022

If consumers like the music in an advertisement, this is conducive to their forming a positive response. To find out what kinds of advertising music people like we conducted semistructured in-depth interviews with 20 participants in China, then analyzed the content through thematic
analysis. We found that consumers liked music that they perceived as having good advertising functions, acceptable artistic qualities, attractive characteristics (e.g., interesting, positive, easy to remember, distinctive), and which had the ability to evoke positive affect and feelings. This
study supplements previous investigations into advertising music from the perspective of consumers. On the basis of our findings, we provide suggestions on selecting music for advertisements that consumers find likable.
Zhongyong thinking, leader–member exchange, and employee innovative behavior
Authors: Yu Yue , Yang Guodong
Published: February 2022

Innovative and creative employees are crucial for increasing organizations' competitive advantage. This study examined the relationship between Zhongyong thinking and employee innovative behavior, along with the mediating role of leader–member exchange (LMX). Participants were 275 subordinates and 61 supervisors employed at a large enterprise in China. We tested the proposed hypotheses with structural equation modeling based on a time-lagged survey. The results show that, as predicted, both Zhongyong thinking and LMX were positively related to subordinates' innovative behavior. Furthermore, LMX partially mediated the relationship between Zhongyong thinking and subordinates' innovative behavior. These findings point to the importance of both Zhongyong thinking and LMX for innovative behavior in an organization. Implications are discussed for research and practice.
Pleasant music and voice behavior in the workplace: The mediating role of psychological safety
Authors: Meng Dashan , Yang Jiawei
Published: February 2022

Although the importance of music for individuals has long been recognized, the effect of music on employee behavior in the workplace has not yet been fully realized. We developed a theoretical model emphasizing the mediating role of psychological safety in the relationship between pleasant music and voice behavior. A survey was conducted with 241 hotel employees in China. Structural equation modeling analysis results show that pleasant music was positively related to psychological safety, which was positively related to voice behavior. Further, psychological safety fully mediated the relationship between pleasant music and voice behavior. We discuss the implications of our findings to understand the mechanisms through which pleasant music boosts employees' voice behavior, and suggest future research directions.
Supervisor positive feedback and employee performance: Promotion focus as a mediator
Authors: Su Weilin , Xiao Fujun
Published: February 2022

We explored the influence of supervisor positive feedback on employees' in-role and extrarole performance, and the mediating role of promotion focus in these relationships. Data were gathered at three time points from 373 Chinese employees and their immediate supervisors. We used hierarchical
linear regression and the PROCESS macro to test our hypotheses. The results show that supervisor positive feedback was positively related to promotion focus, which was also positively related to employees' in-role and extrarole performance. In addition, promotion focus mediated the supervisor
positive feedback–employee performance relationship. Our findings suggest that organizational managers should provide employees with positive feedback to improve their promotion focus, thereby enhancing employees' in-role and extrarole performance.
Psychometric properties of the Korean version of the Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire
Authors: Kim Hyo-Jeong , Kim Kiho
Published: February 2022

We validated a Korean version of the Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire (BAPQ) by investigating its factor structure with a nonclinical sample. Participants were 495 undergraduate students in Korea. The results show that the Korean version of the BAPQ (K-BAPQ) had adequate internal consistency (Cronbach's α = .75–.89). Correlations between scores on the BAPQ and on the Autism-Spectrum Quotient were statistically significant and moderate-to-high in size. Confirmatory factor analysis did not show a satisfactory fit with the factor structure of the original BAPQ. Exploratory factor analysis demonstrated that a three-factor structure could be suitable in our sample, but the internal structure of the BAPQ still needs further examination. We recommend use of the total score of the K-BAPQ, as opposed to those of the subscales alone, and suggest that further research is needed to confirm the factor structure.

Published: February 2022

Although community empowerment is an important component of sustainable tourism, few studies have examined how empowerment influences residents' support for sustainable tourism at nature-based destinations. We formed a conceptual framework to investigate the moderating effect of Chinese
cultural values in the relationship between residents' perceived empowerment and their support for sustainable tourism. We collected 794 survey responses from residents of communities at a nature-based tourism destination in China. Results show there was a significant relationship between
empowerment and support for sustainable tourism. The moderating role of cultural values was partially supported. Our findings provide implications on how to better empower residents with an East Asian cultural background, to make sustainable tourism achievable and maintainable.
What makes consumers take risks in self–other purchase decision making? The roles of impression management and self-construal
Authors: Kim Hayea
Published: February 2022

I investigated how impression management (IM) affected consumers' purchase decision making for themselves and for others, and analyzed how IM, self-construal, and self–other decision making affected consumers' risk taking. Participants were 224 students from a university in Korea.
Results show that participants with lower IM took greater risks when making decisions for others (vs. themselves). However, those with higher IM showed no significant difference in risk taking between decision objects. Further, participants with independent self-construal who engaged in lower
IM tended to take greater risks when making decisions for others (vs. themselves). However, for participants with higher IM or interdependent selfconstrual, there were no significant differences in risk-taking levels regardless of decision object. I sought to understand IM in consumer behavior
by treating it as an individual difference variable and assessing it using a standardized scale. The results present strategic guidelines for application of IM to advertising, especially risk-sensitive product categories and purchase situations.
Factors associated with length to recover adequate nutrition and length of stay in children hospitalized for bronchiolitis: a retrospective study.
Authors: Maugendre Arnaud , Médrinal Clément , Bonnevie Tristan , Roux Pascal Le , Prieur Guillaume , Combret Yann
Published: February 2022

Context: Inadequate feeding is a frequent reason for hospital referring
in children with bronchiolitis and leads to prolonged hospitalization in
26% of the cases. The main objective was to identify the factors
associated with the time to recover adequate nutrition in infants
hospitalized for bronchiolitis. Method: We conducted a single-center
retrospective study including infants less than 12 months hospitalized
for bronchiolitis at Le Havre Hospital (France) between September 2018
and February 2021. A multivariate logistic regression model was computed
to investigate the factors associated with (1) the time to recover
adequate feeding (LOFR), and (2) the hospital length of stay (LOS).
Results: 268 infants were included to assess the LOFR and 478 infants to
assess the LOS. The median age was 3.2 months (1.6-5.4) and the sex
ratio M/F was 11/20. The use of accessory muscles, nutritional support,
and RR ≥ 70/min or < 30/min or apnea are associated (OR=1.5),
from virtually no association (OR=1.0) to a significant positive
association (OR=2.6) with the LOFR. Intense use of accessory muscles
(OR=3.9; 95%CI 1.6-10.4) and “severe” clinical condition (OR=2.8;
95%CI 1.7-4. 8) at admission, O2 supplementation (OR=2.0; 95%CI
1.3-3.1) were significantly related to prolonged LOS in the multivariate
analysis. Conclusion: The clinical severity on admission may be related
to the LOFR, ranging from none to significant. Other known factors and
the new clinical severity scale proposed by the latest French guidelines
appeared to be related to the LOS in this work. Further studies are
needed to highlight these factors.

Objective To determine if stillbirth aggregates in families and quantify
its familial risk using extended pedigrees. Design State-wide matched
case-control study. Setting Utah, United States. Population Stillbirth
cases (n=9 404) and live-birth controls (18 808) between 1978 and 2019.
Methods Using the Utah Population Database, a population‐based
genealogical resource linked with state fetal death and birth records,
we identified high-risk pedigrees with excess familial aggregation of
stillbirth using the Familial Standardized Incidence Ratio (FSIR).
Stillbirth odds ratio (OR) for first-degree relatives (FDR),
second-degree relatives (SDR), and third-degree relatives (TDR) of
parents with a stillbirth and live-birth were estimated using logistic
regression models. Results We identified 390 high-risk pedigrees with
evidence for excess familial aggregation (FSIR≥2.00 and
P-value<0.05). FDRs, SDRs and TDRs of affected parents had
1.14-fold (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.04-1.26), 1.22-fold
(95% CI: 1.11-1.33), and 1.15-fold (95% CI: 1.08-1.21) higher
stillbirth odds compared to FDRs, SDRs and TDRs of unaffected parents,
respectively. Parental sex-specific analyses showed male FDRs, SDRs and
TDRs of affected fathers had 1.22-fold (95% CI: 1.02-1.47), 1.38-fold
(95% CI: 1.17-1.62), 1.17-fold (95% CI: 1.05-1.30) higher stillbirth
odds compared to those of unaffected fathers, respectively. FDRs, SDRs
and TDRs of affected mothers had 1.12-fold (95% CI: 0.98-1.28),
1.09-fold (95% CI: 0.96-1.24), and 1.15-fold (95% CI: 1.06-1.24)
higher stillbirth odds compared with those of unaffected mothers,
respectively. Conclusions We provide evidence for familial aggregation
of stillbirth. Our findings warrant investigation into genes associated
with stillbirth and underscore the need to design large-scale studies to
determine its genetic architecture.
Cost-Effectiveness of the treatment protocols of pediatrics with ‎Acute ‎Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Decision tree modeling)
Authors: hayati hadi , Ehsani Mohammadali
Published: February 2022

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has a high prevalence at early age
and in children and regard to life expectancy index this disease cause
to losing many years of life in these patients. Two well-known European
protocols called United Kingdom (UK-ALL) and Berlin-Frankfurt-Munster
(BFM-ALL) protocols are used to treat the disease in Iran, so the
objective of this study is modelling of the treatment process using the
protocols of BFM-ALL and UK-‎ALL to estimate more ‎cost-effectiveness
method. A decision tree model was applied to depict the real treatment
process to calculate costs per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY). Total
costs were included to the model. The cost effectiveness ratio of UK-ALL
is lower than BFM-ALL (1145.52 USD /3.87 QALY for UK-ALL and 1942.35 USD
/3.02 QALY for BFM-ALL). Therefore, the UK-ALL is dominant and BFM-ALL
is dominated.‎ The modeling results showed a double difference between
the two studied options so policymakers and oncologist ‎should advocate
the economic evaluation methods and modeling to select a real option in
the treatment of patients to save resources like UK-ALL.

This is could be done through mental health campaigns. Conclusion: Competing factors have been the root cause in women presenting with mental distress during the postpartum period of which the overburden on women in taking care of expanded families, the poor education and the low income for most of families which as well a major factor in developing post-partum distress.
Sexual Experience and Contraceptive Use among Unmarried Adolescent University Students in Mandalay, Myanmar
Authors: Tin Oung Myitzu
Published: February 2022

Increase in proportion of sexually active adolescents and insufficient use of effective contraceptive methods contributed to an increase in unintended teenage pregnancy, abortion and STI among adolescents in Myanmar. The study investigated the sexual behavior and contraceptive use among unmarried adolescent university students. A crosssectional descriptive study was conducted using an anonymized, self-administered questionnaire with adolescents who were attending at universities situated in Mandalay District. The six universities were randomly selected, from which 960 students were recruited using a probability proportional to size (PPS) sampling method. After excluding cases with missing background information, 850 students were included in the analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the findings. Among 850 students, 12.4% were from health-related universities and the remaining was from other universities. A total of 135 unmarried students (16%) responded that they had sexual experience. The mean age of their first sexual exposure was 17.9 years (17.6 years for girls and 18.1 years for boys). Their contraceptive use was high (more than 75%) and was higher when they had sex with persons who were not their regular partners (more than 90%). Among them, approximately 50% used contraception consistently and the commonly used method was the male condom. The mostly cited reasons for not using contraception consistently were unaware of contraceptive methods, unplanned sex, forced sex, unwillingness to use contraception by the partner and fear of contraceptive side effects. The higher percentage of students with better contraceptive and STI knowledge and those with more permissive attitudes towards men’s and women’s premarital sex used contraception more consistently. About 11% of students or their partners who had had sexual exposure in the past (12 out of 110) had an experience of pregnancy, and 10 out of 12 pregnancies were unwanted and nine ended with miscarriage. The findings indicated the need for improving knowledge of contraception and sexually transmitted infections among adolescent students to promote consistent contraceptive use and effective prevention of unwanted pregnancy, abortion and sexually transmitted infections

Authors: Caleb Nwaogwugwu Joel
Published: February 2022

Background: Diabetes mellitus (or diabetes) is a chronic, lifelong condition that affects the body's ability to use the energy found in food due to absolute or relative deficiency of insulin secretion with/without varying degree of insulin resistance. The work is aimed at evaluating the biochemical changes on ethanolic leaf extract Psidum guajava of in streptozotocin induced diabetic albino rats. Methods: A total of seventy (70) ratus norvegicus rats were randomly divided into 5 groups of seven rats in each group. Group A served as normal control and received normal saline (2 ml/kg body weight). Group B was treated Streptozotocin, Group C was treated with Streptozotocin and 200mg/kg body weight of extract, D was treated with Streptozotocin and 400mg/kg body weight of extract and E was treated Streptozotocin and 5mg/kg body weight of metformin. Glucose level, levels of renal function status biomarkers and hepatic function biomarkers were determined at the end of the study (28 days). Result: Acute toxicity test revealed no mortality at maximum dose of 5000mg/kg which suggests that test substance is safe for the doses used for this study. The result in liver enzymes shows significant (p<0.05) increases in AST, ALP and ALP when compared to the normal control but showed reduction in the protein level. Group B showed significant (p<0.05) increase in urea when compared with the normal control while Group C (200mg/kg), Group D (400mg/kg) and Group E (5mg/kg metformin) showed decreases in the levels of Creatinine when compared to normal control rats. All doses of the plant extract significantly (p<0.05) mitigated change; the reversals at 200mg/kg body weight of the extract compared well (p<0.05) with their respective non- streptozotocin normal saline treatment control animals in 400mg/kg of the parameters investigated. Conclusion: Conclusively, the study demonstrated that ethanoic leaf extract of Psidium guajava can reverse the hyperglycemia associated with diabetes mellitus, when compared with a known standard drug metformin. There is need for further researchs which will be aimed at isolating and packaging the bioactive compounds responsible for this effect into finished pharmaceutical product

Aim: To observe, describe and determine the attitude and attractiveness/likeability as a romantic partner/friend of heterosexual men attending one U.S. institution towards transgender women. To describe how do they categorize themselves. Methods: It is a non-experimental qualitative research study. Participants were selected based on both convenience and homogenous snowball sampling. A total of two (2) focus groups consisting of 10 heterosexual males between the ages of 21-29 volunteered for the study. Conducting a focus group was used as our primary data collection method for the study. Each participant was interviewed and engaged in an organized group discussion that was monitored and recorded by the male moderator who was certified to conduct human subject researches through the National Institute of Health (NIH). ATLAS.ti. 8 and SPSS version 25 were used for data analysis. The study is institutional approved. Results: Heterosexual male tend to have a more negative attitude towards Male to Female transgender as compared to Female to male. Homophobia exist amongst heterosexual male and is the major reason they avoid any relationship or association with a transgender woman. Conclusion: The study is aimed to increase the knowledge of transgender women especially in a college/institutional setting. Ultimately, being transgender does not take away from the fact that they are living and breathing humans. Our overall impact for this research is to bring about awareness of the perceptions of heterosexual men towards transgender individuals to promote future research that would break down the barriers of prejudice towards transgender and broaden our overall knowledge of their lifestyle.
A Study Regarding Awareness among the University Students about the Disease Beta Thalassemia
Authors: Kumar Manoj
Published: February 2022

Background: Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder in which the body is unable to make adequate haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is present in the red cells. Normally red cells survive for 120 days but in Thalassemia red cell survival is reduced. Most children with thalassaemia are born in low-income countries. Worldwide, transfusion is available for a small fraction of those who need it, and most transfused patients will die from iron overload unless an available and potentially inexpensive oral iron chelator is licensed more widely. Methods: A Cross sectional study was conducted among the university students from January 2011 to May 2011. Simple random sampling was done. There are 66 departments in Panjab University, Chandigarh, 14 and 25 sector campuses. From each department of the University residential campuses 6 students were selected randomly. Hence making 400 students approximately from 66 departments. Results: Responses for knowledge about anemia, thalassemia, beta thalassemia among study subjects in preliminary questionnaire survey had shown that in the pre information questionnaire around 73.6% of the students enrolled in the study had no knowledge about anemia, thalassemia, beta thalassemia and its types and significance. Conclusion: It can be concluded that awareness among sciences students were more (28.6%) about the disease than the students of other faculties of study.

Vitamin D deficiency is a common public-health problem. Deficiency is more common in women than men, and the childbearing period is known to represent a particularly high-risk situation. High rates of poor vitamin D status are found among women during the childbearing period throughout the world. Women at reproductive age are a group that can be susceptible at earlier age for vitamin D deficiency and its complications as increase the risk of osteopenia, osteoporosis, muscle weakness, osteomalacia and pathological fractures and can worsen other chronic conditions, such as the polycystic ovary syndrome; it is also a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, some types of cancers and some autoimmune diseases. Several studies have identified a surprisingly high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in all age groups such as in Europe after 14 population study, United States, Canada and Australia. Despite reported prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency depend on the cut-off values used that vary between studies, an estimated 1 billion people worldwide have vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency or hypovitaminosis D. National surveys should be conducted in every country to determine normal levels of vitamin D in that country and the need for national screening programs for vitamin D deficiency.
Effects of Stakeholder’s Management and Engagement on the Success of Fixed Dose Combination (FDC) Tenofovir/Lamivudine/Dolutegravir (TLD) Introduction and Transition: Nigeria Experience
Authors: Urama Bennett
Published: February 2022

Introduction/Objectives: Managing the expectations and interest of the stakeholders’ is key to the success of new drug/regimen introduction and transition. This is because stakeholders are often heterogeneous and diverse, with different levels of interest. Therefore, categorizing stakeholders at the commencement of the process, identifying and managing their expectations and needs will contribute to the creation of a right atmosphere and be catalyst for success of the implementation. This can be attained through the creation of timely and appropriate communication that meets the needs of stakeholders. The objective of this paper is to describe the strategies and activities implemented during TLD transition and to show how engagement with stakeholders contributed to the success of the process. Methodology: Following the adoption of national TLD transition plan and communication messages, stakeholders were identified and mapped by performing a stakeholder analysis. State level dissemination meeting was designed and implemented across all states. A monitoring tool was developed and operationalized to improve visibility in the process. Sites visits was designed and implemented across select states to assess uptake and reasons for deviations from the transition plan. Results: A total of twenty (20) Federal Ministry of Health staff, fifty (50) staff of technical and treatment partners and two thousand four hundred and eighty-three (2,483) healthcare workers (HCW) from one thousand and ninety (1,090) antiretroviral treatment sites across thirty-six (36) and FCT were reached during the dissemination meetings and were adequately trained prior to transition commencement. 12,000 jobs aids and 800,000 Information Education and Communication materials were distributed to health facilities to assist HCW improve their knowledge on the use of TLD. Enhanced mentorship and on-the-job training were provided to not less than 462 healthcare workers during the Integrated National Monitoring and Supportive Visits (INMSV). Conclusion: Engagement of and communication with broad range of stakeholders during the transition process was key to the success of TLD transition as it allowed large numbers of stakeholders at the national, state and health facility level to be reached with relevant information about the transition. This paper describes engagement activities and other practices that facilitated TLD introduction and transition in Nigeria.

Objective-to evaluate the impact of the School-Based Asthma Therapy trial on asthma symptoms among urban children with persistent asthma. Design-Randomized trial, with children stratified by smoke exposure in the home and randomized to a school-based care group or a usual care control group. Setting-Rochester, New York. ParticipantsChildren aged 3 to 10 years with persistent asthma. Interventions-Directly observed administration of daily preventive asthma medications by school nurses (with dose adjustments according to National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Expert Panel guidelines) and a home-based environmental tobacco smoke reduction program for smoke-exposed children, using motivational interviewing. Main Outcome Measure-Mean number of symptom-free days per 2 weeks during the peak winter season (November-February), assessed by blinded interviews. Results-We enrolled 530 children (74% participation rate). During the peak winter season, children receiving preventive medications through school had significantly more symptom-free days compared with children in the control group (adjusted difference=0.92 days per 2 weeks;95% confidence interval, 0.50-1.33) and also had fewer nighttime symptoms, less rescue medication use, and fewer days with limited activity (all P<.01). Children in the treatment group also were less likely than those in the control group to have an exacerbation requiring treatment with prednisone (12% Vs 18%, respectively; relative risk=0.64; 95% confidence interval, 0.41-1.00). Stratified analyses showed positive intervention effects even for children with smoke exposure (n=285; mean symptom-free days per 2 weeks: 11.6 for children in the treatment group Vs 10.9 for those in the control group; difference=0.96 days per 2 weeks; 95% confidence interval, 0.39-1.52).Conclusions-The School-Based Asthma Therapy intervention significantly improved symptoms among urban children with persistent asthma. This program could serve as a model for improved asthma care in urban communities.

The first minute after birth is usually referred to as the golden minute, and the new born baby should be able to initiate spontaneous breathing, failure to which a condition called birth asphyxia ensues. Globally, approximately 5 per cent to10 per cent of newborns in facilities require resuscitation after delivery. In sub-Saharan Africa where over one third of all intrapartum related neonatal deaths occur, the rates of skilled attendance at birth are very low. In Kenya neonatal mortality remains at 22/100,000 live births, majority associated with poor resuscitation. This study sought to assess neonatal resuscitation practice among nurses in Machakos Level 5 Hospital, in Machakos County, Kenya. Specifically the study sought to assess health system factors that influence practice of neonatal resuscitation among nurses. The study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional study design. The study population included a sample of 201 nurses working in Machakos level 5 hospitals in Machakos County. Quantitative data was collected using semi-structured questionnaires from selected nurses through systematic random sampling at a predetermined interval of 2. Qualitative data was collected using key informant interview schedules with 6 selected Key Informants. Key informants were purposively selected for inclusion in the study. Descriptive statistics were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (spss) version 24.0 with the aid of Microsoft Excel program to generate frequency tables, graphs and pie-charts. Qualitative data was analyzed using thematic analysis and results triangulated with quantitative data as narrations. To test the association between study variables, Chi-Square tests done was at 95% confidence interval (p<0.05) were used. The study results revealed that 41 per cent of respondents fully practiced neonatal resuscitation. Health system factors that significantly influenced neonatal resuscitation included; availability of resuscitation equipment (p=0.001), place of keeping resuscitation equipment (p=0.021) and reference to guidelines (p=0.001). The study recommends increased rates of continuous medical education of nurses coupled with strict supervision to increase achievement rates of practicing neonatal resuscitation according to the guidelines. The Ministry of Health and Machakos County should create awareness to the policy makers on training methods to improve on the level of skill and knowledge on newborn resuscitation among nurses deployed in the country’s medical institutions thus reducing rates of neonatal mortality.

Daun pandan wangi mengandung zat alkaloida, polifenol, flavonoida, tannin, saponin dan juga zat warna alami. Senyawa tersebut dapat berperan sebagai anti bakteri, mengontrol kadar gula darah, mencegah kanker, mengatasi masalah gigi dan gusi, mengatasi kram, mengurangi rambut rontok dan masalah sakit kepala.. Salah satu perkebunan pandan wangi  yang terdapat  di Bali yaitu UD. Melonila, yang terletak di Jalan Raya Munggu Desa Cepaka, Tabanan Bali. Hasil perkebunan pandan wangi biasanya dipasarkan ke pasar tradisional. Setelah dipanen tanaman ini harus segera didistribusikan agar tetap segar.  Sedangkan tanaman yang  merupakan sisa hasil panen memiliki kualitas yang hampir sama, tumbuh dengan cepat akan tetapi  tidak mudah untuk dipasarkan. Oleh karena itu banyaknya hasil panen dari tanaman pandan wangi ini yang selalu tumbuh dengan cepat dan mudah  menjadi permasalahan yang dialami oleh mitra, sehingga mitra ingin berinovasi mengembangkan produk dari  limbah tanaman kemangi menjadi desinfektan alami. Oleh karena itu dilakukan pengembangan terhadap produk dengan menentukan merk dagang dan desain kemasan serta pemasaran produk yang dilakukan melalui sosial media. Berdasarkan hasil PKM didapatkan bahwa kelompok tani mengalami rata-rata peningkatan pengetahuan mengenai pemanfaatan limbah pandan wangi sebesar 83%. Kata Kunci : Desa Cepaka,  desinfektan alami, inovasi, pemasaran
