The result of paired sample t-test hypothesis showed that there is significant difference of smoking intentions (p <0.05) before (M = 20,35; SD = 0,244) and after (M = 13,85; SD = 0,549) the intervention was given. An average difference of 6.5 indicates that anti-smoking ad exposure can be said to have a major impact to decrease individual smoking intentions.

Mutually beneficial conditions will occur if the merger activities carried out can create the synergy, which finally, it is expected to improve the company's performance. This study aims to determine whether the financial performance after the merger has changed or not. The financial ratios studied are financial ratios four years after the merger and before the merger. This research was conducted by quantitative methods, by taking data from PT. Bank Woori Saudara Indonesia 1906, Tbk, which has merged in 2014 and has engaged in banking financial services. Sampling in this study uses quota sampling. the data is obtained from one bank, that is, a bank which has merged. The parametric test used to answer the hypothesis in this study was the Paired Sample T-Test. The results of this study indicate that in partial testing of the seven financial ratios, there was a significant difference in the ratio of BR and EPS, while the CAR, TATO, NPM, ROI, and ROE ratios showed no significant differences. So the merger process carried out by banks does not show a significant difference because the synergy has not yet been achieved after the merger.

The study is thus aimed to assess and compare the efficacy of Herbostra oil pulling mouthwash with Chlorhexidine mouthwash in reducing plaque accumulation around orthodontic brackets. A total of 20 patients were considered in this study randomly assigned into Group I (experimental group - Herbostra oil pulling mouthwash) and Group II (reference group-0.2% Chlorhexidine mouthwash). The plaque index scores were recorded in each individual at baseline (pre) and after 3 weeks (post). Dental plaque samples were collected around the orthodontic brackets at the cervical region of maxillary upper molars and lower incisors by cotton swabbing method and evaluated for the presence of microflora. Paired sample t-test for Streptococcus mutans count showed that statistically significant difference only within the group II (p=0.000) (Chlorhexidine group) and there was no significant difference within the group I (p=0.103) (Herbostra group). Paired sample t-test for plaque index score shows statistically significant difference within the groups (0.000).Independent t test showed statistically significant difference in the levels of  Streptococcus mutans count after 3 weeks between the two groups (p=0.000) with the mean values of (2.230±0.5056), (1.080±0.3458) in group I and group II respectively. From this study we concluded that, even though there was a reduction in plaque scores and S. mutans count with Herbostra oil pulling mouthwash but it was not as effective as Chlorhexidine mouth rinse.
