Abstract

Advances in technology cause shifts in trends, changes in eating patterns, and sedentary activities in college students can impact nutritional status. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between eating habits, sedentary lifestyle, and place of residence on the nutritional status of Sebelas Maret University students. This is was a quantitative analytical study with a cross-sectional design. Study samples were selected using an accidental sampling technique, which obtained 206 samples aged 17-29 years. The research was conducted in March-April 2023. Eating habits were measured using a questionnaire that had gone through reliability and validation tests and sedentary data using the Adolescent Sedentary Activity Questionnaire (ASAQ) instrument. Bivariate data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between eating habits (p<0.00), sedentary lifestyle (p<0.00), and place of residence (p<0.015) and the nutritional status of students. 11.2% were overweight and 52.4% of students were obese. It was concluded that eating habits, sedentary lifestyle, and place of residence are related to the nutritional status of students at Sebelas Maret University. Future researchers should add indicators of the type, amount, and frequency of food consumed to the eating habits variable to deepen the research results.

Abstract

In the last decade, the number of obese young adults has been increasing. Faculty of Medicine students tend to have low activity due to the busy learning schedule. Low activity is one of the risk factors for obesity and muscle strength, one of which is the back muscles that play a role in maintaining posture and supporting the body. This study aims to determine the level of physical activity and back muscle strength, as well as to examine the differences in back muscle strength between students at the Unjani Medical Faculty who suffer from obesity and low and high levels of physical activity. This study employs a cross-sectional design for its analysis. The ASAQ (Adolescent Sedentary Activity Questionnaire), the BMI (Body Mass Index) formula, and a back dynamometer are measuring instruments used to assess physical activity levels. Using a doctor's scale and a calibrated microtome, height and weight measurements were taken. To determine differences in muscle strength between study groups, the Mann-Whitney test (dk = 95%) was utilized.  The results demonstrated that 33% of respondents had low levels of physical activity, with the majority of respondents being male (30.3%). As many as 28.1% of male respondents had low levels of back muscle strength and were inactive. There was a statistically significant difference (p 0.05) between the two groups in terms of back muscle strength, as determined by statistical tests. The results showed that obesity had an effect on reducing the back muscle strength of respondents.

Abstract

Teenagers are one of the determinants of quality and highly competitive human resources (HR). Improving nutrition is not only focused on the first 1000 HPK but also during adolescence. From RISKESDAS data (2018), adolescents aged 13-18 years have a short and very short nutritional status of 51.6%. thin and very thin 16.8%, overweight and obese 29.5%. And 32% aged 15-24 years are anemic. There are three burdens of nutritional problems (triple burden), namely stunting, wasting, obesity and micronutrient deficiencies, namely anemia. Another problem is that 65% of teenagers do not eat breakfast, 97% do not consume enough vegetables and fruit, lack physical activity and. For this problem, it is necessary to build the character of nutritionally aware teenagers through the implementation of local balanced nutrition. The aim is to see changes in adolescent behavior regarding local balanced nutrition. Research method Type of experimental research, with a quasi-experimental approach to pre-post-test one group design using the Accidental Sampling technique, a sample of 63 students at Madani High School, Palu City. The research results showed that the majority of respondents had good knowledge, but there were still some who did not know enough about balanced nutrition. Most attitudes show good positive results and good positive behavior assessment results. Knowledge is good, but implementation is still lacking, so it is necessary to build character in teenagers by implementing balanced nutrition through regular plate contents.

Abstract

Pesticides are toxic chemicals used mainly in agriculture to control pests and increase production. The use of pesticides is increasing with the development of special agricultural areas in the Nagari Sungai Nanam Solok district. Organochlorine pesticides are still used to control diseases on agricultural land, while the use of organochlorine pesticides has been prohibited due to the persistent effects they produce. The research aims to look at the potential environmental impacts caused by the use of specialized organochlorines on public water resources that are vital to daily life. The study used random purposive sampling techniques to determine respondents' characteristics and the water sources used. This study's respondents comprised 85 people obtained from the village group in the Nagari Sungai Nanam district of Solok. In contrast, the water samples were obtained from Galian wells and Pamsimas facilities. The results of the study showed that the level of risk of 8 (eight) means used by society could be determined by using the IKL form: there are two means (25%) at the high-risk level, three means (37.5%) at the medium-risk level, and three means (37.5%) at the low-risk level. As a result of the water sample testing, eight sampling sites found a concentration of lindane that exceeded the threshold of 0.45 ug/L lindane in the sample L.2771 (a water well in Jorong Pasa) and 0.62 ug/LL in the L.2775 sample (well water in Jorong Taratak Pauh). This condition describes the potential for higher pollution of wells due to organochlorine-like pesticides or other types that can harm health and the environment. The high use of pesticides, if not limited, will be a danger in the future for the surrounding community, which can lead to death, so an in-depth study is needed regarding the effect of pesticide use on the health conditions of the community and its environment.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the phytochemical compounds, including flavonoids, tannins, phenols, beta-carotene, anthocyanins, and fiber, as well as the antioxidant capacity of various types of sweet potatoes. Method: The research followed a descriptive observational design with laboratory-based testing. The identification of phytochemical compounds utilized specific reagents. One Way ANOVA was employed to assess the differences in average levels of phytochemicals, nutrients, and antioxidant capacity (IC50) among the different types of sweet potatoes with normally distributed data. The determination of flavonoid, tannin, phenol, beta-carotene, and anthocyanin levels was carried out using UV/Vis Spectrophotometry at specific wavelengths. Crude fiber content was determined using the gravimetric method, while the antioxidant capacity was measured using the DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl) method. Results: The findings indicated that all types of sweet potatoes contain alkaloids, while some lack steroids. Purple sweet potatoes showed the highest levels of flavonoids, tannins, and phenols at 627.27, 1727.27, and 1507.14 mg/100 g, significantly differing from other types of sweet potatoes (p = 0.00). Besides, purple sweet potatoes exhibited the highest anthocyanin content (18.35 mg/100 g) compared to other types, showing a significant difference (p = 0.00). Orange sweet potatoes exhibited the highest levels of beta-carotene and fiber, at 15.49 and 5.63 mg/100 g, respectively, although the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.83). The antioxidant capacity (IC50) of purple, orange, white, and yellow sweet potatoes were 45.13, 266.59, 190.01, and 210.73 ppm, respectively. Conclusion: Different varieties of sweet potatoes exhibit variations in phytochemical composition and antioxidant capacity. Purple sweet potatoes are rich in flavonoids, tannins, phenols, and anthocyanins, with significant antioxidant potential. Orange sweet potatoes show high levels of beta-carotene and fiber but have comparable antioxidant activity to white and yellow varieties

Abstract

There are still many areas in Indonesia that do not have adequate access to sanitation facilities, including family latrines. Especially in rural and suburban areas, sanitation infrastructure is poor, so people still rely on open defecation practices. This research aims to determine the effect of Health Education through assistance and Community Empowerment in increasing the use of family latrines that fulfil sanitation requirements. The research design uses a quasi-experiment with a multiple time series design (pre-test and post-test with control group design). The research was conducted in the working area of ​​the Mekarsari Public Health Center, Lebak-Banten Regency. The intervention group comprised 88 families, and the control group had 88 families. The test used t-test statistical analysis to determine the differences before and after treatment about the quality of family latrines. The study results showed an increase in the average family latrine quality score and minimum and maximum score in the control group after being given health education about healthy latrines. There was a significant increase in the average family latrine quality score and minimum score in the intervention group after being given health education about healthy latrines. There was a difference increase in the deviation (after-before) in the family latrine quality score between the control group (1.51) and the intervention group (3,30). Likewise, the minimum and maximum scores were higher than the difference in family latrine quality scores in the intervention group. Statistically, there is a difference in the average difference (after-before) in the latrine quality scores between the control group and the intervention group. In other words, there is an influence of the community empowerment model for the quality of family latrines (p=0,000).

Abstract

Obesity is one of the issues contributing to the rise of non-communicable diseases such as hypertension and stroke. One of the preventive measures against obesity is the consumption of vegetables and fruits high in fiber, which is used as a strategy for weight reduction. This study aims to establish a dietary care model for reducing weight and blood lipid levels in obese Women of Reproductive Age (WRA). The research was conducted in the urban area of Makassar, specifically in the Berua sub-district, and in the suburban area of Untia sub-district, Biringkanaya district, Makassar city. The research follows a quasi-experimental design known as the 'Non-Equivalent Control Group Pretest-Posttest Design.' Data analysis utilized paired t-tests conducted before and after a 2-month education period using flipcharts and examples of vegetable portions. The research findings revealed that there were 39 samples in obesity category 1 and 21 samples in obesity category 2. Regarding risk factors, there was a significant change in knowledge (p = 0.000). The average weight of the samples decreased by 1.8 kg after a 2-month education period, with a significant effect (p = 0.000). Protein intake showed no significant impact based on statistical tests, whereas energy, fat, and carbohydrate intake demonstrated significant effects, particularly with a 300g intake of vegetables and the most common energy range being 1750-2077 kcal.The proposed model design suggests that consuming 4 portions of vegetables and a total of 1750 kcal can lead to a weight reduction of 1.8 kg over a 2-month period.

Abstract

One of the therapies often used for COVID-19 patients is a combination of Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin. Although only short-term treatment, Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin may increase the risks of QTc and TdP intervals prolongation. This literature review aims to determine the potential toxicity of the combination of Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin for COVID-19 therapy. This study involved the PubMed, NCBI, Science Direct, NIH MEDLINE, Google Scholar and ProQuest databases. The 24 articles collected were then selected. Finally, 15 articles were found feasible for references in a literature review. The study results showed that combined Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin in COVID-19 therapy could increase the risk of QTc and TdP waves prolongation. It can be concluded that the combination of Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin carried the risk of prolongation of QTc and TdP waves in the heart rhythm cycle. There is a need for monitoring and/or recommendation regarding instructions for the use of combination therapy of the two types of drugs among patients with COVID-19.

Abstract

Forest fires have been a major threat for decades. Forest fire smoke can trigger high levels of highly toxic carbon-containing particles that are the source of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen monoxide (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and PM2.5. Exposure to COx, especially CO and SOx, can be detrimental to human health. To reduce exposure to toxins in smoke, researchers want to make a mini-mobile filtration system of activated carbon and bidara leaf powder. This study is quasi-experimental, where both groups were measured to determine the initial condition. The experimental group was treated, and the comparison group was not. After the completion of treatment, both groups were measured as a posttest to determine the final condition. The result is there was a decrease in COx, SOx, and particulate matter values by 57%, 51%, and 37%. The conclusion is mini mobile filtration with a mixture of activated carbon and bidara leaf powder can reduce COx, SOx, and particulate matter values.
