Introduction: Styrofoam is commonly used in food and beverage packaging. Styrofoam or polystyrene is made from styrene and benzene. The migration of benzene from packaging materials into foods can cause various diseases. One effort to reduce styrofoam waste is possible by searching for bacteria that can degrade styrofoam naturally. Potential source of place where the bacteria will be discovered is the landfill site in hospital. Material and Methods: This research applied exploratory methods through descriptive qualitative analysis. The stages of the study consisted of biodegradation testing using the Winogradsky method, calculation of the percentage of dry weight loss of Styrofoam, physical analysis using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and analysis of changes in functional groups using FTIR. This study discovered 4 species of polystyrene degrading bacteria, namely Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus cereus and Bacillus firmus. Results: The percentage of dry weight reduction of polystyrene was shown in the eighth week which reached 18.23% and physical analysis by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) indicated that the process of degradation by soil bacteria resulted in formation of pores on the surface of styrofoam. Conclusion: Functional group analysis produced a simpler functional groups after the degradation as marked by the appearance of C-O functional groups at wavenumber of 1,030.02 cm-1. The use of these polystyrene degrading bacteria from Sarimukti landfill can be recommended as an environmentally friendly method for reducing styrofoam waste.

Introduction: Anxiety is a state of unease or apprehension that arises from the expectation of potential harm, frequently without a clear or identifiable cause. An individual undergoing anxiety might induce a rise in blood pressure. Anxiety exacerbates hypertension by causing vasoconstriction, resulting in elevated blood pressure. Regarding the correlation between anxiety and hypertension, it is crucial to address anxiety in individuals with hypertension. There are multiple methods available to address this anxiety, including both pharmaceutical and non-pharmacological approaches. Material and Methods: This study is a review of existing literature. The researchers aimed to locate scholarly literature about the use of animated movies as a means of alleviating anxiety in individuals diagnosed with hypertension. Articles about the specified theme were chosen from 2018 to 2023 using electronic databases such as Science Direct, PubMed, and Google Scholar and open knowledge maps during the article search. The researchers employed the PRISMA methodology to analyze the literature review studies. Results: 174 articles were chosen using the keywords Health Promotion, Animation Video, Anxiety, and Hypertension. The research underwent a comprehensive review encompassing its aims, samples, methods, and results. Based on the literature review findings, there needs to be more participants or samples that align with the focus of this study. Researchers did not discover any instances of anxiousness in individuals with hypertension through the examination of samples. However, researchers conducted studies on various topics, including the impact of using animated videos to promote health in reducing anxiety among postpartum patients, preoperative anxiety in children, and hypertension. These findings are presented in Table 1. Nevertheless, scholars might engage in discussions regarding the impacts of animated videos. The researchers selected and evaluated only ten publications despite their lack of relevance to the research area of this literature review. Conclusion: Out of the 10 articles examined, many employed animated videos as interventions. However, researchers did not discover any studies specifically focused on investigating the impact of using animated videos for health promotion in reducing anxiety among hypertensive patients. The researchers discovered an independent subject. Consequently, researching this topic can contribute innovatively to future investigations.

Children under five years of age who experience stunting are at risk of experiencing physical, mental, social, and language development barriers. Non-pharmacological approaches to stunting are essential because stunting refers to a lack of growth in children. Therefore, a developmental examination, namely a pre-developmental screening questionnaire, must be conducted to identify non-pharmacological needs. The research aims to identify the development of stunted children. Descriptive research design, the population of all children experiencing stunting in the working area of the Mejuwet Health Center, Bojonegoro Regency, in 2023. The sample was 29 respondents, with purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaire sheets, and then editing, coding, scoring, and tabulating were carried out, followed by analysis. The results of the study showed that 31% of respondents with stunted children under the age of five experienced deviant development, 55.2% had questionable development, and only 18.3% had development that was appropriate for their age. Appropriate stimulation for the growth and development of children aged 48-59 months consists of several important activities, namely stimulation of gross motor skills, fine motor skills, speech and language, socialization, and independence. By involving children in these activities, we can help stimulate their development holistically. Monitor the child's growth and development regularly by having regular check-ups with health workers. The contribution of this research is recommended that the child's mother utilizes a non-pharmacological approach by providing support by inviting the stunted child to play puzzles, draw, color, and write to increase creativity, support speech, and increase socialization with peers.
