Staging Malay Hospitality Among Women’s Homestay Operators In Penang Island An Anthropological Perspectives
No full textTourism has been considered as a big part of the hospitality
industry. Hospitality refersto the relationship process
between a guest and a host,and the act or practice of being
hospitable. Anthropological literature considered hospitality like gift-giving which involves reciprocity, a negotiation between spontaneity and calculation, generosity and friendship. Although, it has been widely established that women have been the main player in hospitality industry
particularly in rural tourism, little is known on the role of women in managing and staging of‘hospitality’. This study is to explore the managing and staging ‘Malay Hospitality’ by a group of women’s homestay operators on the Penang Islan

ISOLASI DAN IDENTIFIKASI GLIKOSIDA FLAVONOID BIOAKTIF DARI SYZYGIUM JAMBOS DAN AKTIVITAS PENGHAMBAT ENZIM α-GLUKOSIDASE
No full textDiabetes has grown into a demanding global public health problem, with generally 537 million individuals afflicted worldwide. Without appropriate intervention, the risk of developing chronic complications increases. One of the practical actions for controlling type 2 diabetes mellitus is suppressing carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes such as α-glucosidase. Syzygium jambos has a long history as a traditional medicine. It's commonly used to treat diabetes, rheumatism, inflammatory pain, and as a diuretic. This study aimed to investigate the α-glucosidase inhibitory properties of S. jambos leaves and their isolated compounds. Ethanol was used as the solvent for maceration, followed by fractionation using liquid-liquid extraction, vacuum liquid chromatography, column chromatography, and radial chromatography. The isolated compounds were identified using thin-layer chromatography (TLC), TLC densitometry, shifting reagents, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometry. The ethyl acetate fraction presented the most potent activity of α-glucosidase inhibitory, with an IC50 value of 0.31 ± 0.01 µg/mL, exceeding the acarbose as positive control (IC50 62.86 ± 1.24 µg/mL). Two flavonoid glycosides, quercetin 3-O-xylosyl-(1→2)-rhamnoside and myricetin 3-O-xylosyl-(1→2)-rhamnoside, were identified inside this fraction, with IC50 values of 65.63 ± 1.36 µg/mL and 188.96 ± 2.85 µg/mL, respectively. These findings suggest that S. jambos has potential as a natural source for developing dietary supplements to control hyperglycemia affiliated with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Diabetes telah berkembang menjadi masalah kesehatan global yang serius, dengan sekitar 537 juta orang di seluruh dunia menderita penyakit ini. Tanpa intervensi yang tepat, risiko berkembangnya komplikasi kronis akan meningkat. Salah satu tindakan yang efektif untuk mengendalikan diabetes melitus tipe 2 adalah dengan menekan enzim penghidrolisis karbohidrat seperti α-glukosidase. Syzygium jambos memiliki sejarah panjang dalam penggunaannya pada pengobatan tradisional, umumnya digunakan untuk mengobati kondisi seperti kencing manis, rematik, nyeri inflamasi, dan sebagai diuretik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki sifat penghambat α-glukosidase dari daun S. jambos dan senyawa yang diisolasi. Etanol digunakan sebagai pelarut untuk maserasi, diikuti oleh fraksinasi menggunakan ekstraksi cair-cair, kromatografi cair vakum, kromatografi kolom, dan kromatografi radial. Senyawa yang diisolasi diidentifikasi menggunakan kromatografi lapis tipis (KLT), densitometri KLT, analisis pergeseran yang diinduksi reagen, spektroskopi inframerah (IR), spektrometri massa, dan spektrometri resonansi magnetik nuklir (NMR). Fraksi etil asetat menunjukkan aktivitas penghambatan α-glukosidase terkuat, dengan nilai IC50 sebesar 0,31 ± 0,01 µg/mL, melebihi akarbose sebagai kontrol positif (IC50 62,86 ± 1,24 µg/mL). Dua glikosida flavonoid, quercetin 3-O-xylosyl-(1→2)-rhamnoside dan myricetin 3-O-xylosyl-(1→2)-rhamnoside, diidentifikasi di dalam fraksi ini, dengan nilai IC50 masing-masing sebesar 65,63 ± 1,36 µg/mL dan 188,96 ± 2,85 µg/mL. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa S. jambos berpotensi sebagai sumber alami untuk mengembangkan suplemen makanan guna mengendalikan hiperglikemia yang terkait dengan diabetes melitus tipe 2
Potensi Ekstrak Daun Salam (Syzygium polyanthum) dengan Metode UAE Sebagai Antibakteri Terhadap Bakteri Shigella dysenteriae dan Salmonella typhi
No full textABSTRAKTanaman salam (Syzygium polyanthum) dapat dimanfaatkan masyarakat untuk mengobati diare terutama akibat bakteri dan masyarakat sering menggunakan daunnya sebagai pengobatan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui aktivitas ekstrak metanol daun salam (Syzygium polyanthum) sebagai antibakteri terhadap bakteri Shigella dysenteriae dan Salmonella typhi serta mengetahui perbedaan daya hambat dengan berbagai konsentrasi ekstrak. Metode yang digunakan adalah difusi cakram dengan konsentrasi ekstrak 25%, 50%, 75% dan 100%. Hasil penelitian pada konsentrasi 100% menunjukkan diameter zona hambat tertinggi dengan nilai rata-rata sebesar 16,63 mm dan 20,36 mm terhadap bakteri Shigella dysenteriae dan Salmonella typhi secara berurutan, sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa dengan menggunakan ekstrak daun salam (Syzygium polyanthum) menggunakan metode UAE ini dapat menghambat bakteri Shigella dysenteriae dan Salmonella typhi dengan berbagai seri konsentrasi dan menunjukkan zona hambat yang kuat hingga sangat kuat.Kata kunci : Daun Salam; Shigella dysenteriae; UAE.ABSTRACTThe salam plant (Syzygium polyanthum) can be used by the community to treat diarrhea mainly caused by bacteria and people often use the leaves as a treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine the activity of methanolic extract of salam leaf (Syzygium polyanthum) as an antibacterial against Shigella dysenteriae and Salmonella typhi bacteria and to determine the difference in inhibition with various extract concentrations. The method used was disc diffusion with extract concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. The results of the study at a concentration of 100% showed the diameter of the highest inhibition zone with an average value of 16.63 mm and 20.36 mm against the bacteria Shigella dysenteriae and Salmonella typhi respectively, so it can be concluded that by using extract of salam leaf (Syzygium polyanthum) using the UAE method, it can inhibit Shigella dysenteriae and Salmonella typhi bacteria with various concentration series and show a strong to very strong zone of inhibition.Keywords : Salam leaf; Shigella dysenteriae; UAE
The Mental Island

ABSTRACTEducation and training on the manufacture of traditional medicinal drinks is an effort to increase public knowledge in empowering the potential of family medicinal plants. Education and training aim to improve the skills, knowledge, and attitudes of the community in using medicinal plants appropriately and rationally. The role of immunostimulants, which are nutritional/drug products (natural/synthetic materials) that can improve the body's immune system, is recommended by health workers and the government to the public for regular consumption. It is necessary to provide information/health insight to improve understanding of immunostimulants, use of herbs, and skills in making traditional herbal drinks as immunostimulants. The method used is a persuasive approach through education/health education and direct practice of processing herbal ingredients. This community service involves housewives and health cadres. Conclusion: This activity is an effort to increase endurance, by using TOGA as an ingredient for making traditional drinks. Keywords: family medicinal plants; herbal-drinks; immunostimulants
