Clean and healthy living behavior is one of the efforts in maintaining personal and environmental hygiene. The purpose of the study was to conduct an analysis of public knowledge about clean and healthy living behaviors after the covid-19 pandemic. \u0000Method Design used in qualitative research with explanatory survey approach. The technique of sampling snowballs over the internet online, an anonymous online instrument was developed using google form. Questionnaire links were sent via email, WhatsApp, and other social networks through researchers. The instrument packaged in structured questioner form (included as an additional file) consists of questions covering several fields: (1) sociodemographic data (age, gender and level of education), (2) New normal behavior habits include wearing a mask, washing hands with soap or hand sanitizer, social distancing, Do not a crowd with many people, keep the environment around the residence always clean and healthy, packaged in google form. Data recapitulation and processing are carried out with the help of IT, then qualitative analysis. \u0000Research Results In this study, we conducted explorations related to sociodemographic, environmental hygiene around the place, healthy behavior habits including, wearing masks, hand washing, social distancing, availability of facilities for hand washing with hand sanitizer or hand washing with running water. The results showed that the community has carried out new normal behavior with awareness without any compulsion from anywhere. Thus new normal behavior includes, wearing masks, washing hands with running water or hand sanitizer and social distancing has become a new habit in order to break the chain of spread of 'covid 19. \u0000Conclusion With a better understanding of the new normal behavior, people are able to break the indirect chain of transmission of COVID-19 in everyday life","PeriodicalId":18554,"journal":{"name":"Medical and Health Science Journal","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90056445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The content of secondary metabolites produced by actinomycetes varies widely. Actinomycetes contain active compounds from the polyene, terpenoid, phenolic, polyketide, phenazine, piperazine, and non-polyene groups, which have been shown to have antibacterial, antifungal, and antibiofilm activities. Streptomycetes known produce most of the antibiotics. Many compounds have been isolated from actinomycetes have antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities.

Burnout akademik adalah kelelahan baik secara fisik maupun psikologis yang diakibatkan karena tuntutan pekerjaan dan emosional terkait akademik. Kondisi burnout dapat berefek kepada motivasi belajar yang rendah. Sebagai mahasiswa, tentu motivasi belajar adalah sesuatu yang turut berkontribusi dalam pematangan minat dan pencapaian prestasi semasa perjalanan studinya. Motivasi belajar yang rendah dapat menurunkan prestasi. Di satu sisi, untuk memperoleh prestasi yang memuaskan diperlukan Self Directed Learning Readiness (SDLR). Burnout akademik, motivasi, dan SDLR berperan penting dalam tingginya kinerja dan prestasi akademik, namun penelitian ini masih terbilang sedikit terlebih lagi pada mahasiswa Kedokteran FK Unsoed. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui korelasi burnout akademik dan Self Directed Learning Readiness dengan motivasi pada mahasiswa Kedokteran Umum Universitas Jenderal Soedirman.

Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effect of giving seaweed extract  (Sargassum sp.) in the form of hydrogel ointment to burns.\u0000Methods: The design in this study was an experimental study with a randomized post-test only control group design, using musmusculus mice. This study was divided into 4 groups, group 1 was a negative control without treatment, group 2 was a group with burns and was given bioplacenton, group 3 was a burn group treated with 5% Sargassum sp extract hydrogel ointment and group 4 was a burn group given 5% ointment.
