Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the quality of Total Mixed Ration (TMR) pellets derived from agricultural waste and assess their potential as feed for Rex rabbits. The research employed an experimental approach, utilizing agricultural and plantation waste to produce TMR pellets. The study was conducted in two stages: pellet production and rabbit feeding trials. Three formulations of TMR pellets were developed with varying concentrations of oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB): P1 (5% EFB), P2 (10% EFB), and P3 (15% EFB). The optimal formulation was subsequently used for the feeding trials. Rabbit feed treatments included T0 (60% commercial pellet + 40% forage), T1 (40% commercial pellet + 20% TMR pellet + 40% forage), T2 (30% commercial pellet + 30% TMR pellet + 40% forage), and T3 (60% TMR pellet + 40% forage). Results from the pellet analysis indicated no significant differences in organoleptic properties among the formulations. The durability test yielded the highest value of 98.77%, while the proximate analysis of the P1 formulation showed a dry matter content of 85.67%, ash content of 10.35%, organic matter of 89.65%, crude protein of 18.65%, crude fat of 18.72%, and crude fiber of 19.18%. In the rabbit feeding trials, there were no significant differences in rabbit performance when compared to those fed with commercial pellets. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that agricultural waste can be effectively utilized as a raw material for rabbit feed pellets, offering comparable quality to commercial alternatives. This research highlights the potential of agricultural waste in reducing environmental pollution while providing an economically viable alternative for animal feed.

Abstract

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the mental health and safety of the elderly, particularly affecting elderly women. Research indicates a rise in anxiety and depression among older adults, with pre-existing elevated depressive symptoms exacerbating their resilience during this period. Increased isolation, financial strain, and restricted access to support services have led to a surge in elder abuse cases, disproportionately affecting women. Effective strategies, such as raising awareness and ensuring timely provision of resources, are crucial to safeguarding the mental well-being of the elderly. Indonesia's commitment to sustainable development and health equity, exemplified through initiatives like the Sustainable Development Goals, must address the specific challenges faced by elderly women in communities like Panggungan Village. The demographic shift towards an aging population, coupled with the pandemic's effects, further magnifies vulnerabilities. Empowering community-based resources can provide holistic support to elderly women, contributing to sustainable health development and social equity. Methods: The approach targets 15 Posyandu Lansia cadres and 20 elderly women in Panggungan Village through an offline community service program adhering to health protocols. Tools used in this study were the Mental Health Improvement Module, Geriatric Depression Scale questionnaire, and knowledge/skills assessment for Posyandu Lansia cadres. A combined quantitative and qualitative analysis was applied. Results: Results showed that 55% prevalence of verbal violence, 45% neglect, and 35% exploitation violence among elderly women. Post-training, these figures improved to 25% for verbal violence, 10% for exploitation violence, and 15% for neglect violence. Depression tendencies witnessed a 25% shift. Cadres’ knowledge increased from 58.2 to 82.1, and skills improved from 63.5 to 79.2. Conclusion: Elevated violence and depression tendencies that were quite high, negatively impact elderly women's mental health in Panggungan Village. Cadre’s training significantly enhances residents' well-being and mental health, offering a meaningful solution.

Abstract

Background: Trauma-related deaths outside of hospitals predominate over those that occur in hospital settings. Inadequate resuscitation and staff delays in treating patients were two factors that could raise the risk of death in the pre-hospital setting. For sustainable pre-hospital service quality improvement programmes, ambulance nurses’ knowledge, attitudes, and competencies were crucial. This study aims to explore the ambulance nurses’ knowledge, attitudes, and competencies in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY). Methods: This research was a descriptive quantitative study using a cross-sectional design. A total of 54 respondents from Sleman, Bantul, Kulon Progo, Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta, and the DIY Public Safety Center (PSC) were included using total sampling. The research was carried out in September 2023. The Kruskal-Walsis, Man-Whitney, and Spearman rank tests were used to analyse the data. Results: The result of this study showed that the attitude score, which was 69.8 (87.25%), was the greatest score, and the competency score, which was 118.65 (78%), was the lowest. The knowledge, attitudes, and competencies of ambulance nurses variables showed an insignificant result (p-value > 0.05) based on age, gender, educational experience, nurse experience, experience working as an ambulance nurse, or quantity of training completed. Conclusion: According to this study, ambulance nurses' attitudes towards pre-hospital services obtain the greatest marks overall, although their competency in these services still needs more improvement. In conclusion, the knowledge, attitudes, and competencies of ambulance nurses in the Special Region of Yogyakarta did not differ significantly from one another.
