Abstract

Stunting has several risk factors that have been done by several researchers. Systematic literature review studies are conducted to determine the most powerful risk factors and directly influence the occurrence of stunting in toddlers or children under five years old.  The study examined 27 papers with various research designs such as cross-sectional, case-control, cohort, and intervention using RCT.  The study subjects in the paper studied an average of >40 samples as well as data analysis by the design of the research. The results of this study found that the strongest risk factors for stunting were food diversity and household food security, environmental sanitation and drinking water, early initiation of breastfeeding and breastfeeding, birth weight, and parenting and child health care. Handling stunting requires appropriate government policies for the community, especially improvement in the economic sector, in addition to the involvement of community participation in providing education and early detection stunting. It is necessary to further investigate the control of nutritional intake to modify these risk factors. Keywords: risk factors of stunting; food diversity; history of infectious diseases; environmental  sanitation; parenting

Abstract

The incidence of invasive fungal infections caused by fungi of the genus Candida is reported to be increasing in various countries. C. albicans can be isolated and cultured in liquid media, one of which is PDB (Potato Dextrose Broth), a common medium used for the growth of yeasts and moulds. Bekatul or rice bran is a waste from rice milling, which still contains nutrients such as carbohydrates and protein, which are needed as energy sources for mushroom growth. Colonies were C. albicans grown in bran liquid media at mass concentrations of 20 grams, 40 grams, 60 grams, 80 grams and 100 grams with PDB as the gold standard. The colonies C. albicans growing were then confirmed by planting on PDA media (Potato Dextrose Agar), and microscopic testing was performed. The results showed that C. albicans grew well in bran liquid medium at pH 5.5-5.0, which was incubated for 1-5 days at a temperature of 25°C-30°C and was characterized by the growth of white colonies on the bottom of the tube, while the number of C. albicans that grew on liquid bran media was more than that of PDB media. The conclusion of this research is that the liquid bran media can be used as an alternative medium for PDB for the growth of the fungus C. albicans.Keywords: white rice bran; Candida albicans; alternative media; potato dextrose broth

Abstract

Overweight and obesity in adolescents have adverse consequences on premature mortality and physical morbidity in adulthood. In Indonesia, the prevalence of overweight or obesity among adolescents is higher than was predicted. Gaining a better understanding of overweight/obesity and its gender specified correlates will provide the recommendation of the best way to control body weight among adolescents. This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with the BMI between males dan females junior high school students. This cross sectional study used data from a school health survey in eight junior high schools which were selected using cluster random sampling and included 590 students aged 11 to 16 years old. Multinomial logistic regression was used to analyze the association between the related factors and the BMI. The result showed that more females (66.7%) were underweight than males (58.6%), but fewer females (3.5%) than males (7.2%) were overweight or obese. Among male students, active school transport was associated with being underweight (OR: 3.34; 95% CI: 1.737 – 6.431), while adequate fruits consumption was associated with smaller odds of being overweight/obese (OR: 0.24; 95% CI: 0.097 – 0.838). No association was found among females. Active school transport and adequate fruit consumption might help male students in junior high schools had lower BMI than female students. Keywords: body mass index; physical activity; sedentary behavior; diet; adolescents
