Abstract

Malaria is a significant public health problem in The Gambia, a country in West Africa with a population of about 2.4 million people. The disease is endemic in the country and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, especially among children under five. Malaria prevention strategies are essential in The Gambia. Although not totally but significantly, several techniques have been implemented in The Gambia to combat the spread of malaria to prevent and control the disease. This study aims to explore and provide an overview of strategies implemented in The Gambia to prevent and manage malaria in children under five. The study was a descriptive study using situational analysis with an extension of the basic guidelines established by WHO to prevent malaria by analyzing the latest developments on the progress made in The Gambia. The Gambia has made significant progress in preventing and controlling malaria through strategies, including insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), indoor residual spraying (IRS), antimalarial treatment, education and awareness, and environmental management. Sustained efforts and investments in these strategies are critical to reducing the population burden of malaria and achieving the goal of malaria elimination.

Abstract

Background: Malaria eradication by 2030 is the UN's third Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). However, malaria still poses a severe threat to public health, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, which includes The Gambia. The present study explores the factors that impact malaria transmission among artisanal small-scale miners (ASSM) in three districts in the West Coast Region of The Gambia: Kombo East, Kombo Central, and Kombo South. Methods: The researchers carried out a cross-sectional study using one hundred participants from the study area. Using a logistic regression model, the researchers looked at risk variables linked to malaria incidence in the Kombos. Results: Age (Adjusted Prevalence Ratio (APR) = 7.989 with 95% Confidence Interval (CI 1.724–37.002) and the existence of mosquito breeding places (APR = 7.685 with 95% Confidence Interval (CI 1.502–39.309) were shown to be risk variables for malaria in the multivariable analysis. On the other hand, protective factors included higher education level (APR = 0.104 with 95% CI 0.027-0.403), using insect repellents (APR = 0.138 with 95% CI 0.035-0.549), and the state of inside home walls (APR = 0.145 with 95% CI 0.0414-0.511). Conclusions: According to this study's findings, the Gambia's malaria risk variables include age and the presence of mosquito breeding grounds. In addition, having greater knowledge, using insect repellents, and having well-maintained interior walls are all protective factors against malaria. In order to eradicate malaria in Gambia's mining regions, it is strongly advised to decrease risk factors and increase prevention measures through effective communication, information, and education.

Abstract

Skin diseases such as scabies continue to pose significant health issues within pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) due to inadequate sanitation and low awareness among students regarding personal higiene. Scabies is highly contagious, transmitted through direct contact and the sharing of personal items. Therefore, there is a need for interventions, specifically educational programs, to enhance knowledge and awareness about sanitation and the prevention of scabies in pesantren. This activity aims to improve students understanding of environmental sanitation, personal higiene, and the prevention and control of scabies through educational outreach activities. This initiative was conducted using outreach and practical training methods for students at Pondok Pesantren Al Amin, Lamongan. Evaluation involved pre-tests and post-tests, comparing the results to measure the increase in participants' knowledge. The results was a noticeable improvement in students' knowledge, with the average score increasing from 84.1% on the pre-test to 91.6% on the post-test concerning personal higiene and environmental sanitation at the pesantren (p-value = 0.000). This educational activity successfully enhanced students' understanding of sanitation and health in the pesantren setting. Further approaches are necessary for the prevention and transmission of scabies.

Abstract

English learning is a vital skill in the era of globalization. However, many elementary school students struggle with English and show limited interest due to monotonous and less engaging teaching methods. This often leads to low confidence in using the language actively. To address this issue, the English Learning Program (BBI) was implemented to improve the English proficiency of 4th grade students at elementary school. The program introduced interactive and enjoyable teaching strategies through a group-based approach, including language games, conversation practices, songs to introduce parts of the body, and basic grammar lessons. These activities aimed to create a positive learning environment that encourages active participation and boosts student confidence. The results showed increased enthusiasm, participation, and comprehension among students. Many students demonstrated improved ability and willingness to use English in daily conversation. This program highlights the importance of innovative and interactive methods in fostering early interest and language proficiency. It suggests that well-designed, enjoyable approaches can significantly enhance English learning at the elementary school level.

Abstract

Background: The Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS) is not yet widely embraced by small and medium enterprises (UMKM) in Kelurahan Made, Surabaya. Many business owners are unaware of QRIS’s benefits and methods of use, underscoring the need for effective education to facilitate their transition to a secure digital payment system. Objective: This initiative seeks to promote digital payment standardization among UMKM in Kelurahan Made by introducing QRIS and providing hands-on practice. Additionally, we assist UMKM with the QRIS registration process, empowering them to confidently adopt non-cash payment methods. Method: The program includes engaging socialization, informative counseling, and practical training involving six UMKM, along with personalized support for QRIS registration. Results: We are pleased to report an 85% attendance rate among our targeted participants, all of whom successfully began using QRIS in their transactions. Conclusion: Our educational and coordinated efforts in promoting QRIS have effectively enhanced financial literacy and improved transaction efficiency among UMKM. As QRIS adoption continues to grow, the digital transformation of the payment ecosystem in the kelurahan becomes increasingly attainable.

Abstract

Air pollution in Grobogan Regency, especially particulate parameters, annually shows an average value of 69% of ambient air quality standards with an average concentration of PM2.5 reaching 38 μg/m³, primarily due to industrial activities, transportation, and the burning of fossil fuels. In the Sugihmanik Village Tofu Industrial Centre, Grobogan Regency, there are 30 home-based tofu SMEs that use rice husks as fuel for boiler furnaces, which produce pollutants such as SO₂, NO₂, CO₂, CO, PM₂.₅, PM₁₀, and TSP. The largest tofu factory in Sugihmanik Village uses 400 kg of rice husks daily. The chimney design, which does not comply with the technical standards of Kepdal No. 205 of 1996, further increases the risk of air pollution. Therefore, the design of an air pollution control device and a chimney redesign are required to mitigate these negative effects. After calculating the emission concentrations and comparing them with PermenLH No. 7 of 2007, only total particle parameter close to the quality standard of 350 mg/m3 with a particulate loading emitted from the furnace of 232 mg/s. By using a cyclone as an emission control device, there is a particulate removal efficiency of 53.05%. With the implementation of air pollution control devices, the ambient air concentration of particulates, previously a peak concentration of around 300 µg/m3, can be reduced to around 68.8 µg/m3.
