This research aims to see the potential of each formulation and preparation of dishwashing soap with the active ingredient telang flower kombucha in inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria isolated from beef. This research is a laboratory experiment, namely by making a dishwashing soap base without the active substance of telang flower kombucha. Make a dishwashing soap base that adds the active substance of butterfly pea flower kombucha at concentrations of 20%, 30% and 40%. Biochemical identification results have shown that beef samples contain gram-positive bacteria in the form of Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes, as well as gram-negative bacteria in the form of Salmonella thyposa and Escherichia coli. The results of this research have also proven that pharmaceutical biotechnology products in the form of formulations and dishwashing soap preparations with the active ingredient telang flower kombucha have a positive correlation in inhibiting the growth of the four test bacteria. Based on the one-way ANOVA statistical test at each P value <0.05, it proves that telang flower kombucha dish soap at a concentration of 40% according to post hoc analysis is not significantly different from concentrations of 20% and 30% as a pharmaceutical and antibacterial biotechnology product. isolated from beef. The conclusion of this research is that the formulation and preparation of dishwashing soap at a concentration of 40% proved to be the most effective as a pharmaceutical biotechnology product in inhibiting the growth of the four test bacteria.

To identify the determinants of risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus among the community at the Birobuli Community Health Center. Type of quantitative research with a case-control approach at a confidence level of 95%. The sample size was taken using the Slovin formula with a result of 76 people and a 1:1 ratio and using gender matching with a total sample of 152 people. Sampling was done using the purposive sampling technique. The data source used secondary data in the form of medical records and primary data in the form of interviews using questionnaires measuring physical activity, unhealthy eating patterns, and sleep quality with the criteria that a doctor diagnosed the respondent as suffering from Type 2 DM and not suffering from other types of Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Data analysis used the odds ratio test, the results showed that physical activity (OR=4.455 and CI=2.250-8.819), unhealthy eating patterns (OR=3.145 and CI=1.616-6.120), sleep quality (OR=5.444 and CI= 2,703 10,966), and dyslipidemia (OR=4,287 and CI=2,121-8,667) are determinants of the risk of Type 2 DM. It is suggested that health workers should improve health services at each Integrated Development Post (known as POSBINDU), an integrated monitoring and early detection activity for NCD risk factors (heart and blood vessel disease, diabetes, acute obstructive pulmonary disease, and cancer) as well as disorders due to accidents and acts of domestic violence which are managed by the community through integrated guidance, meanwhile, provide education on healthy lifestyles to overcome the incidence of DM

The purpose of this study is to determine smoking behavior among adolescents, particularly in a public junior high school of SMP Negeri 9 Palu City. This type of research was qualitative research with a case study approach. The informants in this study consisted of 10 people using a purposive sampling technique. The variables in this study consisted of knowledge, attitudes, facilities and infrastructure, and peers. The results showed that knowledge of smoking behavior was quite good regarding the dangers of smoking. The attitude of most of the informants towards smoking behavior was not good because they still accepted peer invitations to smoke. Access to cigarettes is quite easy by buying retail cigarettes at stalls near the school. Peers have a major influence on smoking behavior at school. Adolescents at SMP Negeri 9 Palu City, despite having good knowledge about the dangers of smoking, demonstrate inconsistent behavior due to positive attitudes, easy access to cigarettes, and strong peer influence. This highlights the need for interventions that address not only knowledge dissemination but also address attitudes and peer pressure, making it harder to access cigarettes near schools.
