ABSTRACT
This study is based on the influence of self medication in the society and its ill effects on
an individual’s health and increase in anti -microbial resistance due to over consumption of
generic medicines From consumption of food to intake of medicines, anything if done
excessively, turns out to be hazardous. Just like automobiles need repairing from a
mechanic, similarly the human body needs help based on symptoms post due discussion
with a doctor. It has been observed that the medicines for drowsiness, nauseousness,
vomiting, etc are consumed without the prescription of the doctor. When patients do not
get relief based on symptoms, they rush to a doctor where they find out that the problem
was something else & has already harmed maximum. If the right medicine is consumed at
the right time and in the right proportion, our body will respond better to it rather than killing
the useful bacteria. To conduct this research various online surveys were done, virtual
interviews were arranged to get the data on the after effects of self-medication in addition
to experienced and professional opinions from psychiatrists and pharmacists & a live
experience from the chemists and the community. While we were in the midst of the chaos
that engulfed the world the opportunity to gather data widened, for it encouraged self
medication due to the lack of medical facilities (chiefly rural areas) accompanied with the
lazy attitude and the economic problems faced by the people. Based on our research
knowledge and awareness still remain the two main reasons that have to be put light upon.

ABSTRACT
We often hear women say that it is their 'that time of the month' or men saying that their wife
is suffering from 'women issues'. We have never wondered about this biological process
because of the stigma and the shame generated by stereotypes. Our research aims at
spreading awareness about menstruation, the factors affecting it and different health issues
and superstitions associated with it. Initially a group discussion was conducted to conclude
the problem statement followed by a survey. 180 responses were received. Simultaneously
class discussions with the help of presentation and interview with a gynecologist was also
conducted. A drive to a village to spread awareness about menstrual health was conducted
and biodegradable sanitary napkins were distributed among the village ladies. It was
observed that most people, especially in the Indian society are ashamed of talking about
periods. Misconceptions still exists with no scientific proof to support them. It was observed
that girls, when saw others taking an initiative in spreading awareness about the ' Taboo’
topic, too became vocal about it. Accepting menstruation as a natural process in our body
and learning to live with it is most desirable. There is a dire need to move towards the use of
biodegradable pads. This project has given us a new direction to work for society. We will
continue such health drives to reach out to more women to make them understand the
importance of their health and sensitizing that menstruation is not disease it's just a
phenomenon unique to girls.

ABSTRACT

Every house supplied with electricity is at risk of getting a shock circuit which can easily
cause a fire. Our team discovers that almost all Malaysians uses or has used an extension
before and fear of incidents happening will always worry the users since there are plenty of
room for mistakes, most of these cases also occur during night time and there is just so
much a person can do to help themself in moments like this. So my team and I decided to
make an extension to serve its purpose to make people's life easier and not cause incidents
that might affect peoples life. High pitched sounds and an alarm will be released and shut off
the extension automatically to make sure no electric flow happens that could lead to major
incidents. Our team decided to solve this problem, but how? We went to the main reason why
these fires happened and it’s because of electrical failure, which means the appliance failed
to work or needed too much electricity, which could not be supplied by a simple socket,
especially an extension. Our innovation has been proven to save these problems from
happening and could even save lives. Our project has proven itself worthy of being owned
since any other extension only supplies what is needed without considering safety as their
main priority whereas we care and value people’s life and believe that things should serve
their purpose and keep people safe wherever and whenever they might be.

ABSTRACT
Currently, the smell caused by the toilet is a problem for some people. Especially when
traveling, the smell of public toilets where we stop by on our way may not as nice as we expect.
Because not all toilets, particularly public toilets, use air freshener. And it results discomfort to
us as the users. Therefore, the author tries to conduct a study using eggplant as an alternative
to eliminate toilet odors. Eggplant, besides being cheap and easy to get, can be reached by the
community, especially the lower middle class. Eggplant is used as vegetables that are
economically affordable for the wider community, and also the method of planting eggplant
can be said to be not too difficult to grow widely. In addition to eggplant as a vegetable, the
author tries to use eggplant as an ingredient that can eliminate odors, especially the smell of
the toilet because the purple color on eggplant skin is formed due to the contribution of
anthocyanins which are the pigments that give purple color. Purple eggplant is rich in
anthocyanin substances, so the purple color is quite dominant in eggplant. Anthocyanins are
water-soluble pigments that are naturally found in various types of plants. As the name implies,
these pigments give color to flowers, fruit, and leaves of green plants, and have been widely
used as natural dyes in various food products and other applications. its long conjugated
double bond, so it can absorb light in the visible light range. This conjugated double bond
system is also able to make anthocyanins as antioxidants and radical scavenging
mechanisms. by doing a test that uses 4 toilet rooms, each of which is hung by an eggplant
with a different weight. The first toilet was hung as an indicator, the second toilet hung 200
grams of eggplant, the third toilet hung 300 grams of eggplant, and the fourth toilet hung 400
grams of eggplant, then an organoletic test (smell test) was carried out which was responded
by 35 people selected panelists taken from students of SMPN 2 Dumai (odor organoletic test
in the appendix).

ABSTRACT
Increasing the demand of energy that caused by the growth of population and the reduction of
oil reserves along with emission problem from fuel that give pressure to every country to
immediately produce and use renewable energy. Many complaints from citizens about the
increase in basic electricity rates and there are villages that haven’t got electricity yet. Wuluh
star fruit is a fruit that contains galvanic cell; that is a cell that produce electric current. There
are 3 components, those are anode, cathode, and electrolyte. Electrolyte can be compound
bitter, salt, or amphoteric. Wuluh star fruit (Averrhoa bilimbi) is one of the fruit that contains
formic acid, so potentially to be electrolyte solution. One of the galvanic cell system that
produces voltage and electric current around 0.72 volt and 0.29 mA. After research is done, it
can be concluded that Wuluh star fruit (Averrhoa bilimbi) could be used for electrolyte solution
in galvanic cell system to produce electrical energy. Wuluh star fruit has relatives with star
fruit. Lots of star fruit as an alternative electric power is a study to find out cheaper electrical
energy and produce more powerful electricity than batteries, and to help people to get
electricity easier when the main electricity is having disturbances. Moreover, Wuluh star fruits
easily grow in Indonesia. We can find this kind of fruit everywhere. Most of Indonesians use it
as an ingredient. So, there is nothing wrong in using star fruit to produce electricity for the
benefit of humans so that star fruit can be useful for the community. In this study, the author
uses star fruit as an alternative source of electrical energy that will be used for the needs of the
community, which is cheap and profitable, with the existence of star fruit electricity, we get
benefits by using used goods and do not need to buy used copper, used cables. This research
uses the theory of Voltaic cells and Galvanic cells which state that electricity can be produced
from chemical reactions and according to Daniel's theory that electric cells can be taken by
using zinc(-) and copper(+).

ABSTRACT
YONEZAWA KOJOKAN We investigated whether ukogi (A. sieboldianus) has an antibiotic effect on bacteria on the skin.
HIGH SCHOOL, JAPAN Our result showed that substances dissolved in ethyl acetate had a strong effect against gram-

negative bacteria. We assumed that some polyphenols contained in ukogi leaves may change
its effect.vThe antibiotic effect of plants has been attracting attention, and we thought that we
could use ukogi to develop a practical skin-friendly antibacterial agent. The final objectives
include creating locally-produced antibacterial agents.vWe soaked paper-discs in the solution
extracted from ukogi leaves, and put it on the agar medium coated with bacteria. After culturing
it for 48 hours, we measured the inhibition ring’s diameter and found that ukogi’s antibiotic
effect worked especially on gram-negative bacteria. Then, we separated ukogi’s substances
into parts that were soluble in either ethyl acetate or distilled water. We also did experiments
with those two. As a result, the diameter of the inhibition ring in ethyl acetate was larger than
that of one placed in water. (2) By using catechol and the same method, we confirmed that that
antibiotic effect is caused by polyphenols. In addition, we compared the antibacterial effect of
ethanol disinfectant, sodium hypochlorite, and the ukogi leaves.vFrom our study, we surmised
that some polyphenols in ukogi can inhibit bacteria growth. We plan to do a comparison
experiment with other antibacterial agents.vPolyphenols in ukogi leaves may have antibacterial
effects against gram-negative bacteria. For practical applications, we would like to promote the
development of more skin-friendly antibacterial agents.
