This study aimed to develop tuber bread from purple sweet potato and bambara beans with high satiety and low glycemic index (GI). Different ratios of purple sweet potato to bambara bean were used: 100:0 (F0), 80:20 (F1), 60:40 (F2), and 40:60 (F3). The satiety index (SI) was determined by assessing the consumption of a 240 kcal isocaloric food and collecting data through a visual analog scale.

- Over the past five years, rice production in Bantaeng Regency has struggled, averaging 5.2 tons per hectare, far below the 2020 goal of 10.0 tons.
- A study involving 185 rice farmers used Binary Logistics Regression Analysis to find that factors like fertilizers, labor, and farmer age significantly impact rice yields, while seed application negatively affects production.
- Based on the findings, recommendations include increasing the use of fertilizers, improving access to agricultural inputs, and controlling costs to enhance rice production in the region.
Plaque accumulation in the coronary arteries is a major cause of coronary heart disease (CHD), a disease infamously known as a contributor for global death burden. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) pose significant risks for CHD patients, highlighting the urgency of effective management and cardiac rehabilitation in CHD management. Studies have reported the role of the six-minute walk distance (6MWD) test in predicting outcomes for CHD patients; however, none have performed the investigation in Aceh setting.

- Post-COVID-19 syndrome can significantly lower functional capacity and work productivity in healthcare workers, and exercise rehabilitation is an important recovery method.
- A study was conducted to investigate the relationship between high sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and functional capacity in individuals who underwent supervised cardiopulmonary exercise.
- The results indicated that while there was no significant correlation between Hs-CRP and functional capacity, NLR was negatively correlated with functional capacity in patients who participated in moderate-intensity exercise, suggesting that moderate-intensity exercise can aid recovery for those dealing with post-COVID-19 syndrome.
