Authors: Nelly Khairani Daulay  , Asep Toyib Hidayat  , Shelfia Shepty  
Published: March 2024

The Indonesia Smart Program (PIP) is a scholarship assistance provided to individuals with the aim of continuing their education as tuition assistance. This program is the government's idea to reduce the high number of children who drop out of school due to lack of funds. This high dropout rate will also later lead to a high crime rate because children who drop out of school cannot work properly. To determine whether or not students are eligible to receive the Indonesia Pintar Program, a decision support system (SPK) is needed that can provide input for schools to assess properly, which students really deserve the scholarship. By using the Preference Selection Index (PSI) method, it is hoped that this method will be able to select the best alternative from a number of alternatives based on criteria from predetermined aspects. In the Preference Selection Index (PSI) method which is used as a measure of assessment is the value of alternatives, matrix normalization, average performance value, preference variation value, preference value deviation, criteria weight, calculate the final value, and determine the ranking that will determine the optimal alternative, namely students who are entitled to a scholarship. The purpose of this research is to determine which students are eligible and not eligible to receive assistance from the government in the form of PIP. The results of this study are in the form of rankings with the highest value of 0.7686 and ranked first or rank 1 and the lowest value of 0.7091 is ranked 5th.

Published: March 2024

Introduction: Hair loss, or alopecia, is a prevalent concern with medical and cosmetic implications. Hair loss, attributed to genetic predisposition, hormonal imbalances, and psychosocial impacts, necessitates effective treatments. This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of specific formulations Zauber™ Hair Drops (Zauber™) and Zauberöl® Premium Hair Oil (Zauberöl®) in addressing testosterone induced alopecia, utilizing a rat model. This research contributes to our understanding of potential solutions to the rising prevalence of this condition.Materials and Methods: 60 Male Wistar rats were divided into ten groups. To induce alopecia, testosterone was administered intramuscularly, excluding the normal control group. Experimental groups received distinct treatments, including oral homeopathic drops Zauber™ in mild, moderate and high doses, topical treatment Zauberöl® alone and along with ZauberTM in 3 different doses, and a standard drug, over 28 days. Comprehensive observations and assessments were conducted. Results and Discussion: The results of the study showed that all groups maintained their body weights and food consumption, but those taking Zauber™ and Zauberöl® saw considerable hair follicle growth without severe blood clotting or systemic toxicity, as seen by stable organ weights. The treatment groups showed steady haematological parameters, and sophisticated imaging showed that Zauber™ + Zauberöl® effectively promotes hair follicle growth and development. Higher anagen-to-telogen ratios in treated groups, particularly in the Zauber™ + Zauberöl® groups, show desirable efficiency in alopecia treatment than the standalone therapies. Conclusion: Our study highlights the synergistic therapeutic effects of Zauber™ and Zauberöl® in treating testosterone-induced alopecia in rats, surpassing stand-alone therapies. The observed improvements in various health indicators underscore the potential efficacy and safety of this combined treatment approach.
