Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) risk factors include changes in the lifestyle of adolescents with unhealthy diets tend to fast food, lack of activity and exercise, increased stressors, and exposure to environmental conditions that are not conducive to health. Establishing NCDs Integrated Health Service and Promotion Post is an efficient and effective control strategy aiming at early detection of NCDs risk factors. Empowerment of peer counsellors as Integrated Development Post cadres is expected to become agents of change and detect NCDs risk factors in schools. This research determines the effectiveness of implementing an adolescent-Integrated Development Post in schools to increase the adolescent cadre’s knowledge, anthropometric skills, and nutritional counseling. It is an experimental design with one group pre-post test at one of the high schools in Semarang City. Integrated Development Post cadres are peer counselors selected according to the criteria of 10% of the total number of students (36 people) from 11th grade. Differences in knowledge scores, anthropometric skills, and nutritional counseling of cadres were analyzed using the Paired T-test. The cadre’s knowledge scores increased from 50.55 to 70.11; anthropometric skills include weighing from 61.67 to 98.98, measuring height from 54.63 to 94.25, and nutritional counseling from 72.92 to 86.71. Paired T-test results show a p-value < 0.05. Integrated Development Post effectively increases cadre’s knowledge scores, anthropometric skills, and nutritional counseling. It can also detect risk factors to prevent and control NCDs in the school.

Abstract

People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) can have better health outcomes with early identification of the AIDS phase. In the first three years, PLWHA may progress to the AIDS stage. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the relationship between multimorbidity, nutritional status and duration of Antiretroviral (ARV) treatment on major signs of PLWHA. This study was conducted in the Intermediate and Infectious Disease Treatment Unit (UPIPI) at regional public hospital (RSUD) Dr. Soetomo Surabaya from January to February 2023. As many as 52 PLWHA who started HIV treatment at RSUD Dr. Soetomo in 2020 to 2021 were sampled in this study, which was obtained from medical records. The dependent variable in this study was the major sign of HIV. Independent variables in this study were multimorbidity, nutritional status, and the duration of ARV treatment. This study found that 76.9% of PLWHA experienced major signs. Multimorbidity and duration of ARV treatment did not have an association with major signs of HIV (p-value > 0.05). Nutritional status has a significant association with major clinical symptoms of HIV (p-value < 0.05). PLWHA with underweight had higher odds of having a major sign (p-value = 0.017; PR = 1.507; 95% CI 1.131-2.008) than PLWHA with normal nutritional status. Thereby, it is hoped that the hospital will be assisted in determining health promotion needs such as screening and evaluation of nutritional status to monitor the nutritional status of patients, which will improve their health outcomes.

Abstract

Sandy soil has various constraints, such as the low availability of N, P, and K nutrients. Organic matter should be applied to improve soil conditions. This study’s organic materials used as ameliorants included chicken manure and Azolla microphylla. This study aimed to determine the effect of A. microphylla and chicken manure on the availability of micro and macronutrients and rice growth in sandy soil. The research was conducted on the sandy soil of Samas Beach, Bantul, Yogyakarta. The study used a factorial complete randomized block design consisting of 2 factors. The 1st factor is the dose of Azolla (0 and 7.5 tons ha-1). The 2nd factor is the dose of chicken manure (50, 100, 150 tons ha-1). The results showed no interaction between the application of A. microphylla and chicken manure. The application of chicken manure increased NO3-, available P, and available K levels. The application of A. microphylla increased the height of rice plants. Azolla 7.5 tons ha-1 and chicken manure 150 tons ha-1 showed the highest values in NO3- (0.11 mg l-1), available P (6.74 ppm), and organic C (0.27%). Chicken manure of 150 tons ha-1 can increase the number of grains per panicle. These findings offer a potential strategy for addressing nutrient deficiencies in sandy soils and improving rice growth.

Abstract

Livestock farmers in the Limpopo Province benefitted from the land reform projects. This led to an increase in the number of emerging cattle farmers who desired to move from small-scale to commercial cattle farming. These emerging cattle farmers had high expectations for government support through extension and advisory services to improve the welfare of their cattle. However, the study aimed to investigate the perceptions of 80 emerging cattle farmers concerning the importance of agricultural extension and the impact of extension advisors in improving the welfare of their cattle. The study was conducted in 18 villages of the Sinthumule-Kutama areas under Makhado Municipality. The study used quantitative and qualitative methods and simple random sampling. Questionnaires were used to collect primary data. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) tool was used for analysis, and the mean score was produced to address the study’s objectives. The results indicated that farmers agreed on the importance of cattle welfare and that they are knowledgeable about it, and methods used by extension workers are essential. Furthermore, they decided that the extension activities contribute to their knowledge of cattle welfare. The paper concludes by making the following recommendations. Extension workers should collaborate with some of the farmers who are leaders within the community to manage cattle welfare when extension workers are not around. Cattle farmers of Sinthumule-Kutama are expected to be trained on livestock welfare.

Abstract

Despite the reported improvement in the nutrient status of fermented cereal-based diets in Sub-Saharan Africa, the nutrient needs of infants are still not being met. Hence, this study evaluated the nutritional compositions of fermented protein-fortified cereals. The proteins used in fortifying maize and millet were crayfish (30%), soybeans (30%) and a combination of both protein sources in a ratio of 70:15:15 for cereals, crayfish and soybeans, respectively. Fermentation of protein-fortified cereals was carried out using submerged fermentation for 5 days. Results revealed that fortifying maize and millet with crayfish and soybeans increased the protein content (11.1 to 19.1%). The fortification led to a reduction in crude fiber and carbohydrate contents of raw maize and millet. Fermentation also significantly reduced the carbohydrate content, with the lowest carbohydrate value observed on the last day of fermentation. Fortification with crayfish and fermentation increased all the minerals (potassium, magnesium and calcium) of raw maize and millet, but no significant effect at p < 0.05 on the iron content. All the samples that were fortified had better sensory acceptability than those that were not fortified. This study revealed that fermentation and fortification of maize and millet meal (cereal) with soybeans and crayfish can alleviate protein energy malnutrition (PEM) problems.

Abstract

Children’s mental-emotional development involves the interaction between physiological maturation and the psychological mechanisms that process and control emotions. This study aims to determine the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and parenting patterns with the mental and emotional development of early childhood in the Guntung Manggis Health Center working area in 2021. This analytical observational study utilized a cross-sectional design. The sample comprised 92 children aged 3 to 6 years, selected through simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using Spearman Rank correlation. The analysis revealed a significant relationship between exclusive breastfeeding, mental-emotional development (ρ = 0.0), parenting patterns, and mental-emotional development (ρ = 0.00). Specifically, exclusive breastfeeding was associated with improved mental-emotional development in 65% of the sample, and positive parenting patterns were linked to enhanced development in 72% of the cases. The findings suggest that exclusive breastfeeding and positive parenting patterns support optimal mental and emotional development in early childhood. It is recommended that mothers provide exclusive breastfeeding and adopt positive parenting strategies to foster better developmental outcomes for their children.

Abstract

Star fruit, a widely consumed fruit in Indonesia, is utilized in jelly sweets as a functional food promoting health. Nevertheless, the exorbitant price of gelatin, a gelling agent compatible with halal requirements, has resulted in the substitution of carrageenan, a comparable substance with a fragile consistency. This study investigated the physical, chemical, and sensory properties of star fruit jelly candy using different concentrations of gelling agents. This study employed a fully randomized design to investigate the effects of various concentrations and types of gelling agents, namely carrageenan-konjac and carrageenan-pectin, at concentrations of 1.5%, 2.0%, and 2.5%, respectively. The findings indicate that various gelling agents impact the characteristics of hardness, gumminess, chewiness, water content, antioxidants, and pH. Different amounts of gelling agents impact the firmness, stickiness, texture, separation of liquid, moisture level, mineral content, acidity, moisture availability, and crude fiber content. The variations in outcomes of this study are determined by the hydrocolloid’s water content, which can bind water. Subsequently, the duration of processing and the level of temperature exert an influence on these parameters, hence impacting the physical qualities. The findings indicate that the combination of carrageenan and konjac substantially affects star fruit jelly candy’s physical and chemical characteristics. The optimal formula for creating star fruit jelly candy is to employ a 2.5% concentration of carrageenan-konjac.

Abstract

Stunting is a prolonged state of chronic malnutrition. This disorder is characterized by having a body length-for-age or body height-for-age measurement that falls below the -2 standard deviation established by the World Health Organization (WHO). The etiology of stunting is multifaceted, encompassing factors such as nutrition, feeding practices, infectious illnesses, and household income. Maternal understanding of nutrition, including dietary factors, is also associated with the occurrence of stunting. This study aimed to establish the relationship between feeding habits and maternal knowledge of nutrition with the prevalence of stunting in the operational region of the Gedongan Health Center, located in Mojokerto City. This study is an observational analytical study employing a cross-sectional design. The study’s population consisted of all women with children residing in the working area of the Gedongan Health Center. This study encompassed 144 participants who completed the Child Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ) regarding eating practices and a questionnaire assessing maternal knowledge of nutrition. The objective was to examine the relationship between these factors to height and age. The chi-square test results indicate a statistically significant association between feeding practices and stunting (p = 0.0001) and maternal knowledge about nutrition and stunting (p = 0.0001). The survey revealed that most children had been provided with appropriate feeding patterns, and most moms had a commendable nutritional understanding. The study’s findings indicate a noteworthy relationship between feeding behaviors and mothers’ nutrition knowledge.

Abstract

Cucumbers can be processed into a frozen snack called sherbet. The problem with using cucumber in sherbet processing is its bland taste. Pandan wangi leaves (Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb.) can be used to improve the flavor and aroma of cucumber sherbet. This study aimed to determine the effect of pandan wangi juice concentration and sweetener type on cucumber sherbet’s physical and chemical characteristics. The study used a factorial randomized group design consisting of 2 factors: the concentration of pandan wangi juice (5%, 10%, and 15%) and the type of sweetener (simple syrup, fructose, and honey). The physicochemical characteristics observed in this study include overrun, texture, color (L, a, b), melting time, total dissolved solids, vitamin C content, and total chlorophyll. The interaction between the concentration of pandan wangi juice and the type of sweetener significantly influenced the overrun of cucumber sherbet. The concentration of pandan wangi juice significantly influenced the texture, greenness (a-), yellowness (b+), and total chlorophyll. The type of sweetener significantly affects the yellowness (b+) value, melting time, and total soluble solids. The best treatment is pandan wangi juice with a concentration of 15% and fructose syrup as a sweetener type. Pandan wangi juice concentration and sweetener type can improve the characteristics of sherbet in terms of both physical and chemical properties. Cucumber sherbet combined with pandan wangi juice and certain sweeteners can be a healthy frozen snack.

Abstract

Acclimatization is the final stage of propagation by in vitro culture. This phase is crucial in micropropagation, as it will determine the survival of plantlets outside culture jars. This phase’s efforts should ensure optimal conditions, including the media type. This study sought the best media for acclimating strawberry plantlets produced under meristem culture. The research employed the randomized block design, utilizing 7 various media treatments, which include husk charcoal; perlite; cocopeat; perlite + husk charcoal; soil + sand; husk charcoal + cocopeat; and perlite + cocopeat. The media mix was set at 1:1 a ratio (weight/weight), with 9 replicates. The chemical properties of the media were then analyzed, including several parameters such as organic C, total N, and water content. Several parameters were observed for plantlet’s growth parameters, including plant survival rates, number of leaves per plant, average leaf area, and root fresh weight. The results found that cocopeat was the best medium for acclimating strawberry plantlets. In cocopeat media, the plant survival rate reached 96.68%, with the leaves number of 7.67 plant-1, an average leaf area of 120.92 cm2 plant-1, and root fresh weight of 4.30 g plant-1. These results indicate that cocopeat is a medium derived from coconut fiber powder, a natural resource that can be renewed sustainably and produces better plant plantlet growth.
