Abstract

Materials and Methods: This study employed a survey research design with an exploratory quantitative approach using Many-Facet Rasch Model (MFRN) analysis. The data used for the analysis of the assessment instrument measuring teachers' attitudes towards earthquake disaster preparedness in schools were field data obtained from a survey conducted by three raters assessing 33 elementary school teachers in Palu City. The instrument consisted of 20 items, resulting in a total of 1980 collected data points. Results: The item reliability value was 0.94, indicating that the instrument's quality falls within the "excellent" criteria with a high level of reliability. However, the analysis results indicated that some items assessing teachers' attitudes towards earthquake disaster preparedness in schools had a high level of difficulty. This suggests the need for further examination of disaster preparedness topics in specific areas that teachers may not be adequately prepared for. There was a significant variation in teachers' abilities to answer the instrument's items, highlighting the necessity for a more differentiated approach. Teachers with lower abilities should receive additional assistance and support to ensure that they can also enhance their preparedness.

Abstract

One disease that can cause death is Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). AMI, also known as a heart attack, is a condition that causes permanent damage to heart muscle tissue due to prolonged ischemia or lack of blood flow that occurs due to blockage of the epicardial coronary arteries and results in blood clots and limiting blood supply to the myocardium. During the years the young AMI patients are increasing. One of the ways to diagnose early is providing information of biomarkers related to this disease by implementing the bioinformatics data analysis. The research was conducted to look at the genomic profile of patients suffering from AMI based on without recurrent events and normal control, using the XGBoost method, due to its scalability and efficiency.  Based on the grid search of tuning hyperparameters, the XGBoost method gives a classification accuracy of 88.89%, AUC 90 and kappa 0.7805. These results indicate that the XGBoost method can classify patients suffering from AMI well. This research has identified three genes that contribute the most to classifying AMI patients, namely calponin 2, ribosomal protein S11 and myotropin. Based on the heatmap visualization, information was obtained that the three genes are class markers without recurrent events.

Abstract

Background:Hypertension is a serious global health issue due to its rising prevalence and its link to severe cardiovascular diseases. Red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum)infusion therapy has gained attention as a potential natural treatment for high blood pressure because of its active compounds, such as gingerols and shogaols, which have anti-inflammatory and vasodilatory effects. Objectives:This study investigates the effectiveness of red ginger infusion therapy in reducing hypertension among residents of Kawatuna Village, where hypertension rates reached 12.2% in 2022. Given the community’s dietary habits and limited healthcare access, alternative treatments like this are important for managing blood pressure. Methods:The study used a Quasi-Experimental design with a Pretest-Posttest Control Group approach. A total of 66 participants were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group consumed red ginger infusion daily for seven days, while the control group received no intervention. Blood pressure was measured before and after the intervention. Results:The results showed a significant decrease in blood pressure in the experimental group. Systolic pressure dropped by an average of 24 mmHg and diastolic pressure by 11 mmHg (both p<0.001). In contrast, the control group had only slight changes, with a decrease of 0.17 mmHg in systolic pressure and 1.1 mmHg in diastolic pressure. These findings suggest that red ginger infusion therapy can effectively lower blood pressure in the short term. However, the small sample size and short duration of the study highlight the need for further research. Future studies should explore the specific mechanisms behind red ginger’s effects and assess its long-term safety and efficacy. Addressing lifestyle factors, like the high consumption of coconut milk in Kawatuna, through health education programs could also improve hypertension management. Conclusion:Red ginger infusion therapy shows promise as a complementary treatment for hypertension, but more comprehensive studies are needed to confirm its long-term benefits.

Abstract

The study aimed to examine the role of internet use addiction and family communication patterns on the tendency to experience sexual violence in Boys students in Yogyakarta. The design of this research is quantitative research. The sample size in this study was 380 students at high school/vocational studentsYogyakarta. The sampling technique is cluster random sampling. The measuring instruments used were the Child Sexual Abuse Questionnaire (CSAQ), the Internet Addiction Test (IAT), and the family communication patterns questionnaire, which the author had modified. The analysis used is linear regression analysis using R version and Python. The results of the study based on the simultaneous test obtained a value of F = 17.111 and p-value = 0.000 <0.05, the results indicate that addiction to internet use and family communication patterns simultaneously play a very significant role in the tendency to experience sexual violence against boys student high school/vocational in the Yogyakarta. Internet use addiction plays a significant role in the propensity to experience sexual violence. This means that the higher the habit of male students using the Internet, the more likely they are to experience sexual violence. Meanwhile, although it plays a role simultaneously, the family communication pattern does not affect the tendency to experience sexual violence in boys student high school/vocational in Yogyakarta.

Abstract

Background:The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical role of vaccination in mitigating the transmission of infectious diseases. However, parental attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination are pivotal in determining the vaccination uptake among children. Understanding the factors that influence these attitudes is essential for the development of effective vaccination strategies. Objectives:This study aimed to identify the factors influencing parental attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination in children aged 6-12 years. Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted among parents of children aged 6-12 years. Data on parental attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination, along with various demographic variables, were collected via structured interviews. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was utilized to identify significant predictors of parental attitudes toward vaccination. Results:The findings revealed several factors significantly associated with parental attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination. Notably, perceptions regarding the halal status of the vaccine, family support, and parental anxiety were found to significantly influence these attitudes. Parents who considered the vaccine to be halal and who received strong family support were more likely to endorse vaccination. Conversely, higher levels of anxiety were negatively associated with vaccination support. Conclusions:These results highlight the importance of addressing perceptions regarding the halal status of the vaccine, enhancing family support, and alleviating parental anxiety to promote COVID-19 vaccination in children aged 6-12 years. Public health interventions should focus on providing clear, reliable information regarding vaccine halal status, fostering family discussions to encourage vaccination, and offering psychological support to reduce parental anxiety. These strategies are crucial for improving vaccination uptake and achieving herd immunity against COVID-19.

Abstract

Communities living near landfill sites are often exposed to high levels of ambient air pollution, which may impact their physical and psychosocial health. This study aims to explore the relationship between ambient air pollution exposure, particularly carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), and the social health outcomes of communities residing near the Kawatuna Landfill in Palu, Indonesia. A cross-sectional study involving 143 respondents was conducted using structured interviews and environmental exposure assessments. Correlation analyses, Mann-Whitney U tests, and regression models were applied to examine the relationships between air pollution exposure and respiratory disorders, smoking behavior, stress levels, and social interaction. The findings revealed a significant positive correlation between CO and NO₂ exposure and stress levels (r=0.217, p = 0.022), although the relationship was weak. No significant associations were found between air pollution exposure and smoking behavior, social interaction, or respiratory disorders in multivariate analyses. The Mann-Whitney U test indicated that individuals with respiratory disorders were exposed to higher levels of CO and NO₂ (p = 0.038). Ambient air pollution exposure in this community is more closely related to psychosocial stress than to physical health behaviors or social interaction. Community-based health interventions should consider the cultural context and perceived environmental risks to effectively promote health in such vulnerable populations.
