Abstract

Obesity is a growing problem in Africa, promoting morbidity and contributing to mortality from non-communicable diseases. Although nutrition and genetic factors have been implicated in promoting obesity, the impact of environmental factors like carbon dioxide emissions is rarely emphasized in the literature. This paper contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing empirical links between carbon dioxide emissions and obesity in Africa. The study used a longitudinal research design, and the data were from a panel of fifty-two African countries covering the 2000-2016 period. The data were sourced from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) database and the World Bank’s World Development Indicators. Data analyses were implemented with a panel corrected standard error model due to the presence of contemporaneous correlation among some panels and the presence of cointegration. The results showed that obesity significantly increased, with p less than 0.05 across all regions, accompanied by increases in carbon dioxide emissions, per capita growth in gross domestic product (GDP), and the percentage of food imports. Political stability had mixed results on obesity, with positive impacts in West and Central Africa, and negative impacts in South Africa and in the combined results. It was concluded that addressing carbon dioxide emissions in Africa sends a positive signal towards reducing the incidence of obesity. A framework for African leaders to fully comply with the Paris Agreement is therefore crucial in mitigating the future impacts of GHG emissions on obesity and other associated health issues. Similarly, promotion of political stability and health-induced economic growth is vital for addressing the African obesity epidemic.

Abstract

Crackers are a snack often favored by toddlers. Commercially available crackers predominantly use wheat flour, which is high in carbohydrates but low in nutritional value, particularly in protein content. Therefore, innovative formulations are needed to enrich the nutrition, notably protein and iron, by substituting edamame flour and mackerel tuna protein hydrolysate into crackers to help address stunting. This study aims to analyze the protein content, iron content, and acceptability of crackers made with a substitution of edamame flour and tuna protein hydrolysate. This research was conducted at the University of Jember from February to April 2024 using a completely randomized design at four levels. Protein analysis used the Kjeldahl method, and iron content was examined by atomic absorption spectrometry. The acceptability was tested using the hedonic scale test on 30 semi-trained panelists. The results were analyzed using SPSSv24. Results showed statistically significant differences in protein content, iron content, color acceptability, aroma, and taste. The highest protein content is found in A3, while the highest iron content is found in A1. The best formulation, determined by the exponential comparison method, was treatment A2. In conclusion, substitution with edamame flour and tuna protein hydrolysate in all treatment variations significantly affected protein content, iron content, and acceptability in terms of color, aroma, and taste; however, it did not substantially impact texture or overall acceptability. Substitution of edamame flour and mackerel tuna protein hydrolysate in crackers can increase protein content and therefore could be an effective measure in preventing stunting.

Abstract

Cigarettes are one of the consumer products that are popular with the public. The composition of cigarettes includes tobacco, cloves, and other additives. One of the additives that is often used is lead. Lead can also be carcinogenic, meaning it can cause cancer. Exposure to lead in active smokers can cause various health hazards, especially those related to liver damage. Increased levels of lead in the body of smokers can cause liver cell damage, which can be reflected in increased levels of the enzyme AST (aspartate aminotransferase) in the blood. This study aims to see the effect of this heavy metal on the levels of the Aspartate Aminotransferase Enzyme in Individuals Who Smoke. This research method uses a descriptive introduction with a simple random sampling approach. The subjects of this study consisted of 10 people who were drivers with an average age of 25 years who had been smoking for 5-8 years. Blood lead levels were measured using the APHA method, and AST enzyme levels were measured using the IFCC method. The results showed that there was no relationship between blood lead levels and AST levels in smokers and blood lead levels (significance: 0.066). The average lead level in the blood of active smokers is still below the threshold, which is 34.1437 µg/L (100–250 µg/L). Suggestions for further research are to conduct research to see the relationship between lead levels and Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) enzyme levels in online motorcycle taxi drivers and cleaners in the city of Palembang.

Abstract

Postpartum women tend to experience low back pain disorders due to the labor process and muscle tension, especially when breastfeeding their babies. Efforts to overcome back pain in postpartum women include the use of compresses. One of the non-pharmacological interventions employed is using herbal compress balls, which have aromatherapeutic properties and facilitate heat conduction. This intervention aims to enhance local blood circulation in pain-affected regions. The study was to determine the effectiveness of herbal compress balls in reducing back pain in postpartum women. The measuring tool for assessing the pain scale is the NRS. The method of research is an experimental “one-group pre-post test design”. 96 respondents were selected via non-probability sampling in the form of an accidental sampling technique. Data analysis using the “Wilcoxon signed rank test”. The study showed a reduction in the back pain scale of postpartum women after the use of the herbal compress ball "p-value = 0.000 (p <0.05)". The herbal compress ball has been proven effective in overcoming back pain in postpartum women. It is hoped that further research can use methods comparing herbal compress balls with other intervention methods.

Abstract

From 2019 to 2022, RSI Sultan Agung Semarang managed SIMRS independently. While the implementation remained hybrid, SIMRS was turned over to a third party in early 2023 to develop Electronic Medical Records (EMR). However, in 2024, a year later, the management of SIMRS and EMR was once again independent. It was necessary to assess user satisfaction with the EMR in light of these modifications. This study aims to determine the variables affecting users' satisfaction with the EMR at RSI Sultan Agung Semarang's medical record installation. Cross-sectional research was used in conjunction with quantitative research design. Questionnaires were distributed to collect data. Purposive sampling was used in the sampling process, and 32 individuals met the inclusion criteria. The statistical test results demonstrate that all of the variable's content, accuracy, format, ease of use, and timeliness have p-values less than 0.05, indicating a significant relationship between each variable and satisfaction with the EMR. Everything about the EMR system has been going smoothly; more system development is needed to make it easier to access quickly and effectively, which will improve the timeliness of medical services. Future research should look into other variables or perform long-term studies to track changes in user satisfaction.

Abstract

The phenomenon of premarital sexual behavior in Indonesia is increasingly prevalent among adolescents, including in the city of Baubau. One of the reasons is the easy access to pornography on social media. Therefore, the role of parents is needed in supervising and guiding adolescents. This study aimed to determine the role of social media and parents' interpersonal communication with premarital sexual behavior in adolescents in Baubau city. This study used a qualitative research method with a case study approach. Informants were selected by purposive sampling and snowball sampling, totaling 8 teenagers (5 male teenagers and 3 female teenagers) as a key informants. The results of this study show that both male and female adolescents admit that their sexual behavior is inspired or learned through the pornography they watch. However, exposure to pornography through social media is more dominant in contributing to the sexual behavior of female adolescents than male adolescents, because male adolescents prefer to watch pornography through online websites. Interpersonal communication generally went well, where there was empathy, support, and equality. However, the aspect of openness between adolescents and parents regarding sexuality issues does not seem to be fully explored. On the other hand, the positive attitude of parents who give too much freedom to children actually makes adolescents fall into bad sexual behavior. Other factors that influence premarital sexual behavior in adolescents are knowledge, attitudes, peers and level of religiosity. The conclusion in this study is that social media and parental interpersonal communication have a role in premarital sexual behavior in adolescents.

Abstract

The quality of nursing services for hemodialysis patients is determined by the role and performance of nurses. High workloads are often the reason nurses leave work, which can disrupt the continuity of patient care. A high workload can have a negative impact on the quality of nurses' work, while a balanced workload can improve the quality of work. This study used a cross-section design with a sample of 35 hemodialysis nurses at RSUD Dr. Soetomo. The research was carried out in the Hemodialysis room at Dr Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya. Research data regarding workload and service quality variables was collected through questionnaires. Research data was processed using Spearmen rho with a p-value ≤ 0.05. The statistical test results show that the p-value is 0.000, so it can be interpreted that H0 is rejected. This indicates a relationship between nurses' workload and the quality of hemodialysis services. The workload creates optimal nurse performance in carrying out actions. The performance of nurses in hemodialysis tasks, which are quite complex, with the number of patients being disproportionate to the number of nurses, has an effect on the quality of nursing services.

Abstract

Maternal anxiety during pregnancy, particularly among primigravida women, is a prevalent emotional state that can significantly impact both the mother and fetus. This study explores the relationship between family factors—specifically family support, communication, socioeconomic status, satisfaction with family roles, and family decision-making—and anxiety levels in primigravida pregnant women. Utilizing a cross-sectional observational analytical design, the research included 92 primigravida women from Puskesmas Tirto, Kedungwuni I, and Kedungwuni II. Data were collected through validated and reliable questionnaires and analyzed using multiple logistic regression. The findings reveal significant associations between family support (OR=25.427; 95% CI=1.123-9.078; p=0.007), family communication (OR=239.115; 95% CI=9.144-6252.589; p=0.001), and satisfaction with family roles (OR=107.415; 95% CI=4.231-2726.710; p=0.005) with reduced levels of anxiety. These results underscore the importance of involving family members in antenatal care, enhancing communication, and providing psychological support to manage anxiety effectively. The study highlights the need for healthcare providers to integrate family dynamics into prenatal care strategies to improve maternal mental health and overall pregnancy experience.

Abstract

Microplastics are a new pollutant in the air, but the determination of the maximum limit of their existence has not been set in regulations. Microplastics found in the air of building spaces are made from plastic waste. The presence of microplastics in the air is influenced by physical environmental factors. Inhaling microplastics can have a detrimental impact on lung tissue. The research aims to create a mathematical model of the effect of ultraviolet exposure, temperature, and humidity on the quantity of microplastics in indoor air. Mathematical models can be used to predict the quantity of microplastics in the air. The type of research is a true experiment with a posttest-only control group design. Air samples are taken daily for 60 days by the passive method by taking dustfall. The parameters measured include the quantity of microplastics, ultraviolet intensity, temperature, and air humidity. Microplastic examination by visual method using a 40-fold magnification binocular microscope. Analysis of the mathematical model of the effect of ultraviolet exposure, temperature, and humidity on the quantity of microplastics in the form of time series data using linear regression. The results of data analysis show that the effect of the panel regression estimation model, in accordance with the empirical data, is the Fixed Effect Model (FEM). The conclusion based on the results of the study shows that physical environmental factors have an influence on the quantity of microplastics in the air, whose existence can be predicted using FEM modeling that has been made.

Abstract

Code precision has received significant attention due to the increased utilization of encoded procedural data. Coding errors have been documented in multiple research investigations. This study aims to assess the variables that affect coding quality. The prevalence of diabetes has increased substantially in the past two decades and is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Method: This study was conducted in 2 hospitals in East Java, Indonesia, that were selected through simple random sampling from a population of hospitals meeting the predefined inclusion criteria. The bed capacities of these hospitals are 211, with details of 62 and 149, respectively, for the specialised ones. The sample in this study was 60 medical record files taken randomly in 2022 in the case of diabetes mellitus. The result showed coding quality testing uses six elements: reliability, accuracy, relevancy, timeliness, completeness, and legibility. Data analysis was carried out analytically using the Fisher Exact test. The results of the study from 60 samples showed that four elements were significant out of a total of 6 aspects of coding quality elements. The four essential elements consisted of Accuracy (p=0.001), Reliability (p=0.001), Completeness (p=0.046), and Legibility (p=0.046). Reliability elements also impact coding accuracy or vice versa (p=0.001); Completeness also affects Legibility and vice versa (p=0.046). The odds ratio value of each component shows that Reliability and Accuracy are 8.782, which means that Reliability can increase Accuracy 8 times and vice versa. Meanwhile, completeness and legibility are at 3.818, which means completeness also increases legibility by three times and vice versa. The Hospitals should consider four significant coding quality elements, including completeness, accuracy, reliability, and legibility, for use in coding audits. Timeliness and Relevance were insignificant.
