Abstract

Social anxiety is a problem that many students encounter; this can have an impact on hampering optimal academic or social development for them at school. Students with social anxiety will have problems forming or maintaining friendships, avoid going into group situations, and be socially isolated or bullied, and this causes them to avoid certain schools or classes. Although not all individuals who experience social anxiety consistently avoid social evaluative situations, most report an inability to interact in social gatherings. Social anxiety problems will interfere with individual activities and lives if not addressed immediately, so counseling is essential. This service is carried out at SMK Negeri 2 Semarang City. The devotion method uses cinematherapy techniques. The service results show the counselee's enthusiasm to participate in the counseling session from beginning to end. Counselees learn to dare to ask questions, discuss in groups, and try to apply the examples they get in the cinematherapy technique.

Abstract

The coconut plant is a plant that has many benefits for human life. Every part of the coconut plant has great benefits for life, such as the trunk, roots, fruit, even the fruit or pistil of the coconut also provides many health benefits. Villagers use coconut pistil as a traditional medicine in the treatment of diarrhea. Traditional medicine can be obtained from plants that contain secondary metabolite compounds. Secondary metabolite compounds are active compounds found in plants to defend themselves from harmful environmental attacks. The purpose of this study is to identify secondary metabolite compounds present in coconut pistils. Identification of secondary metabolite compounds is carried out qualitatively, namely conducting phytochemical tests (phytochemical screening) in the laboratory. Phytochemical Screening is a simple and effective method. The results of this study indicate that coconut pistil (pistillum Cocos Nucifera) positively contains secondary metabolite compounds of flavonoids, saponins, tannins, terpenoids and phenolics. So that coconut pistil can be used as one of the traditional medicinal ingredients

Abstract

Kejadian hipertensi sistolik terisolasi dan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhinya masih menjadi kajian riset yang perlu ditangani dengan cepat untuk menekan angka kejadiannya yang saat ini terus meningkat. Tujuan dari studi ini adalah untuk mengkaji faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kejadian hipertensi sistolik terisolasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode scoping review untuk melihat, mengakumulasi dan mensitesis hasil penelitian terdahulu tentang faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kejadian hipertensi sistolik terisolasi. Kriteria inklusi pada studi ini adalah artikel yang terbit pada journal database terindeks PubMed, Google Scholar, Elsevier dalam Bahasa Inggris, dengan desain Cross-sectional, Case control, dan Cohort. Jurnal terbit dalam rentang tahun 2018 – 2022 dan 16 artikel yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi tersebut. Dari hasil pencarian 637 artikel dari 3 database (Google scholar, elsevier dan pubmed ) dimana 108 diantaranya merupakan artikel terduplikat dan dikeluarkan. Sebanyak 529 artikel yang tersisa dikeluarkan artikel yang tidak sesuai dengan inklusi sebanyak 517 artikel sehingga terdapat 12 artikel yang relevan dan dilakukan review serta dianalisis menggunakan aplikasi NVIVO-12 Plus. Analisis menunjukkan bahwa umur, merokok, konsumsi alkohol, diet rendah garam, aktivitas fisik dan indeks massa tubuh merupakan faktor- faktor dominan yang berpengaruh terhadap kejadian hipertensi sistolik terisolasi. Tingginya faktor resiko kejadian hipertensi sistolik terisolasi dikarenakan peningkatan tekanan darah sistolik yang terjadi sejalan dengan proses penuaan, kebiasaan merokok ≥5 bungkus/tahun, konsumsi alkohol ≥100 gram/hari, konsumsi garam yang melebihi 6 gram/hari, kurangnya aktivitas fisik dan indeks massa tubuh yang berlebih. Penderita hipertensi sistolik terisolasi sangat rentan terkena penyakit kardiovaskular. Kejadian hipertensi sistolik dapat dicegah dengan melakukan aktivitas fisik seperti melakukan pekerjaan rumah, berolahraga seperti lari pagi atau sore, senam aerobik dan berenang dengan intensitas 21 menit/hari dapat menurunkan tekanan darah hingga 4-9 mmHg. Unutk pencegahan selanjutnya ialah dengan menghindari konsumsi alkohol serta merokok, menjaga asupan konsumsi garam tidak melebihi 6 gram dalam sehari dan menjaga indeks massa tubuh.Kata Kunci: faktor risiko, hipertensi sistolik terisolasi, tekanan darah sistolik The incidence of isolated systolic hypertension and the factors influence still a research study that needs to be addressed quickly to reduce the incidence rate which is currenly increasing. The purpose of this study was to examine the factors that influence incidence of isolated systolic hypertension. This study uses the scoping review method to view, accumulate and synthesize the results of previous studies on the factors incidence of isolated systolic hypertension. Inclusion criteria in this study were articles published in indexed journal databases PubMed, Google Scholar, Elsevier in English, with a cross-sectional design, case control and cohort. Journal published in the range of 2018 – 2022 and 16 articles that meet the inclusion criteria. The search results 637 articles from 3 databases (Google Scholar, Elsevier and Pubmed) of which 108 are duplicate articles and were removed. The remaining 529 articles were excluded from the inclusion of 517 articles, so there were 12 relevant articles which were reviewed and analyzed using the NVIVO-12 Plus application. The analysis shows that age, smoking, alcohol consumption, low salt diet, physical activity and body mass index are the dominant factors that influence the incidence of isolated systolic hypertension. The high risk factors for isolated systolic hypertension are due to an increase in systolic blood pressure that occurs in line with the aging process, smoking habits 5 packs/year, alcohol consumption ≥100 grams/day, salt consumption that exceeds 6 grams/day, lack of physical activity and mass index excess body. Patients with isolated systolic hypertension are very susceptible to cardiovascular disease. The incidence of systolic hypertension can be prevented by doing physical activities such as doing homework, exercising such as running in the morning or evening, aerobic exercise and swimming with an intensity of 21 minutes/day can reduce blood pressure by 4-9 mmHg. For further prevention is to avoid alcohol consumption and smoking, maintain salt intake not to exceed 6 grams a day and maintain body mass index.Keywords: risk factor, isolated systolic hypertension, systolic blood pleasur

Abstract

Functional food has emerged as a potential intervention to prevent stunting in toddlers, utilizing locally available ingredients such as tempeh and clams. These foods possess several favorable attributes, including ease of accessibility, affordability, have high nutritional value and excellent digestibility in the human body. This study introduces a novel approach by formulating tempeh broth as a substitute for clam flour, aiming to improve nutritional status and prevent stunting. The primary objective was to develop tempeh broth with substituted clam flour and evaluate the impact on organoleptic properties and nutritional value. The study involved a laboratory experiment where tempeh broth was substituted with varying amounts of claims flour: 15g (P1), 30g (P2), and 45g (P3). Organoleptic evaluation was conducted by 37 panelists using a hedonic scale technique. The analysis of the organoleptic test data comprised the normality, Friedman, and Wilcoxon Test. The findings revealed that the tempeh broth formula with a 15g clam flour substitution (P2) was the most preferred in terms of color, aroma, and taste. The substitution of clam flour in tempeh also led to an increase in the nutritional value, specifically higher protein, PUFA, vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin B6, total folic acid, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, ferrous and zinc. In conclusion, increasing the amount of clam flour substitution in tempeh broth resulted in higher nutritional value and had a significant effect on the organoleptic properties. The findings support the continued exploration of local functional food interventions to address nutritional deficiencies and improve public health nutrition.
