Abstract

Anxiety and depression among university students were reported to be increased during the outbreak of CoVid-19. Various studies indicated that the phenomenon was triggered by the sudden enforcement of the studying-from-home (SFH) policy. Accordingly, we hypothesized that the students’ online learning efficacy (OLE) predicted the upsurge of the two mental health issues. However, SFH also elevated the students’ inclination towards social media (SM), and it brought further changes in some socio-psychological factors. We recruited 435 university students to respond to demographic items and the scales to measure factors such as perceived social support (PSS), societal mattering, and fear of missing out (FOMO) to test the hypothesis that OLE would no longer be a significant predictor of anxiety and depression when all the aforementioned variables are controlled for. The results of the hierarchical regression analyses supported our hypothesis on anxiety, while in predicting depression, OLE was still significant after controlling for the rest of the predictors. Societal mattering was the strongest protective factor against depression, whereas FOMO was the strongest risk factor of anxiety. Implications, limitations, and suggestions are discussed.

Abstract

One of the key strategies to stop the increase of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases is vaccines. The uncertainty and refusal of Filipinos to get the COVID-19 vaccine will be a crucial barrier to achieve the immunization coverage required for population protection. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the knowledge and attitude of the Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology students and faculty and staff towards the COVID-19 vaccine. A descriptive study approach and total sampling were adopted. A questionnaire was constructed to accumulate data on the respondents' profile, knowledge, attitude and source of information about the vaccine for COVID-19. Informed consent and permission to conduct were acquired. Various statistical tools were used to analyze the data. The respondents were knowledgeable and had positive attitude towards the COVID-19 vaccine. Their primary source of information was from social media on the internet and television. There is a positive association between their attitude and knowledge of the COVID-19 vaccine, which means that they are closer to having a positive attitude when they are knowledgeable about the COVID-19 vaccine. Therefore, health education campaigns to increase their knowledge or awareness about the COVID-19 vaccine should encourage them to receive a COVID-19 vaccine shot.

Abstract

The Indonesian government has mandated Graphic warning labels (GWLs) on cigarette packages to achieve more comprehensive tobacco control interventions. However, smoking prevalence remains a public health issue in Indonesia. This current qualitative research aimed to explore the effect of cigarette GWLs on smokers’ perceptions about smoking and cigarette packaging in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) and its influence on smoking behavior. The study participants consisted of 15 current smokers who were individually interviewed by using a semi-structured interview guide. Data were analyzed using a thematic analysis technique. Most participants perceived smoking as health-risk behavior yet lowered their risk perceptions of smoking-related diseases due to positive feelings of perceived current benefits of smoking and personal justification for smoking.  None expressed any intention to quit or showed smoking behavior changes due to GWLs exposure on cigarette packages. Participants also implicitly expressed themselves as victims willing to quit but unable and unconfident to act due to smoking addiction and other stressors. In contrast, others perceived themselves as risk-taker who enjoyed smoking. Further research is still needed to provide robust evidence on GWLs effectiveness on smoking perception and smokers’ cognitive and behavioral responses. Behavior change interventions should address positive feelings experienced and rationalization made by smokers to provide effective risk communication.

Abstract

The COVID-19 crisis has forced education systems around the world to look for alternatives to face-to-face teaching with learning from home. This kind of education system has never existed before in Indonesia. This condition raises parental concerns and dissatisfaction with learning outcomes and children's achievements, resulting in suboptimal parental support. This study aimed to examine the factors related to the level of satisfaction and the role of parents in providing support during the child's learning process from home. This study employed a cross-sectional design involving 130 parents who have children attending the Klaten District State Elementary School, Indonesia. The sampling technique was using proportional simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using simple and multiple logistic regression tests with type one error rates=5%. The results showed that the determinant factor influencing parental dissatisfaction was their perception of the lack of teacher support during the implementation of the home learning system. The low education of parents, their low perception of the learning system from home, and the decreased value of children’s knowledge affect parent satisfaction when schools from home (SFH). These factors contributed 65.42% affect parental support in assisting children when studying during pandemic COVID-19.

Abstract

Makueni County experiences a significant burden from traffic related injuries that often results to deaths and other complications. It is not clear whether the deaths and the complications are related to the actions of the responders. The purpose of this study was to provide information to enable the development of policies and programmes aimed at reducing fatality rate and life-long complications from road accidents in the Trans-African highway and other highways in Kenya. The study used the mixed method approach and applied the cross-sectional study design. Data was collected from 427 First Responders and 474 patients. Statistical tests applied included Chi-square, correlations and multinomial logistic regression. Study findings show that pre-hospital emergency care was provided to less than half (48%) of those with road traffic injuries. Study findings indicate a significant (p-value <0.05) relationship between outcome of injuries with helping with breathing, covering patients for warmth and positioning during transportation. Those transported on their side were less likely to end up with severe injury outcomes (OR 95% CI, 0.016 (0.001-0.305), 0.006). The study recommends empowerment of First Responders with appropriate First-aid equipment and skills for effective care on-transit to the health facilities.

Abstract

This study aimed to formulate a suitable statistical model to determine acetylcholinesterase enzyme's half-maximal inhibitory (IC50) by a series of synthetic compounds. It was done with the same core structure for acetylcholinesterase inhibition for anti-Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The IC50 of eighteen synthesized compounds on anticholinesterase activities was obtained and statistical methods were applied. Regression models were fitted to the dose-response curve to look for their IC50. Simple linear regression is the simplest model for the dose-response curve. However, polynomial regression models or non-linear regression models fit the data more accurately. The adjusted coefficient of determination (????2????????????) was used to determine the best model among the linear models, while the root mean square error (RMSE) is more suitable in determining the goodness of fit between linear and non-linear model. Four-parameter logistic (4-PLR) regression often fits the dose-response data closely. Based on the RMSE value, a polynomial regression fitted better than 4-PLR with the IC50 of 245.52.

Abstract

The present of the pandemic has given to a new habit that we call the new normal. One of the habits we hear most often is wearing a mask. Ironically, the use of masks creates new problems for certain populations, for example, glasses users and people with respiratory problems. Eyeglass users complain of the effect of fog on the glasses when wearing a mask, sufferers of respiratory problems complain of shortness of breath when wearing a mask. To find the design solution, the researches employed the data analysis method and experiments (trials) on the appropriate shape, structure, and material of the mask. The results of this design succeeded in presenting the expected design solutions, namely preventing the effects of eyeglasses fog, reducing the effects of tightness when wearing a mask, a display that supports appearance, and fullfil the WHO mask criteria. It presented in four basic color variants.

Abstract

The pandemic requires empowering rural Indonesian women for their personal and family well-being and increased economic output because of their high participation in self-employment. This study aimed to find a relationship between women's empowerment, wealth level, and preventive behaviors towards the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The study employed a cross-sectional design and was conducted at two community health centers in Banten, Indonesia. Women over 18 years old, married with at least one kid, and willing to participate were eligible. Over half of the 200 women were under 30 (56%) and had a higher degree (56.5%). Around 67.5% were unemployed, and 60% earned less than the regional minimum wage. Women were sufficiently empowered in terms of economic, household, and social empowerment. Preventive behaviors toward COVID-19 were connected with educational level, wealth index, women empowerment score, and knowledge, with an adjusted R square of 31%. Women who are empowered have a higher wealth index and COVID-19 prevention activities. It is argued that initiatives aimed at increasing women's empowerment would positively impact improving public health.

Abstract

The outbreak of COVID-19 had a significant impact in terms of economic and social health. Assessing the community's knowledge regarding the transmission of COVID-19 is essential to specify the target of promoting and preventive actions. Therefore, the research aimed to assess pregnant women's knowledge, perception, and behavior against COVID-19 transmission. The research is a quantitative cross-sectional study. Pregnant women who received antenatal care at PKU Muhammadiyah Mamajang Makassar Hospital were included in the study. We are using random sampling, and the study was conducted from May 31, 2021 to July 31, 2021. The study found that pregnant women's knowledge, perception, and behavior of COVID-19 transmission was high and good. Several factors were found to be related to the level of knowledge, including the story of education (p 0.013), perception (p 0.037), and behavior (p 0.0001). Meanwhile, age and parity have no association with knowledge (p 0.524 and p 0.499). Currently, it is hoped that more optimal education will continue to be carried out by health workers to mothers so that they can live their pregnancies in a prosperous manner so that mothers and fetuses will be healthy and safe during the pandemic COVID-19.

Abstract

Clam shell is a solid trash that has a rough texture, difficult to digest, and polluting the environment. Blood clam shells (Anadara granosa) contain chitin, which is converted into antimicrobial chitosan. The purpose of this study was to see the effectiveness of chitosan membrane from blood clam shells in reducing total coliform bacteria in household greywater. This study was carried out using experimental research method design. This research focused on household greywater waste. The chitosan concentrations on the membrane varied between 2.5% and 3.5% with filtration times of 20 and 60 minutes. The Anova Quadratic model test was further used to examine the data. Chitosan was separated from the shell of the blood clam at peak angles of 19.66° and 26.04° according to X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterization. It was obtained that chitosan membrane, with a concentration of 3.5% and a filtering duration of 60 minutes, provided the highest percentage of total coliform bacteria reduction of 99.9%. The conclusion of this study is that blood clam shells used as chitosan membranes can reduce total coliform bacteria in household greywater waste.
