Abstract

Obesity is one of the global health problems whose incidence is expected to continue to increase every year. Obesity in adolescents is caused by many factors including changes in lifestyle, physical activity, diet with food intake that exceeds the body's needs, improper eating behavior by consuming more fast food, packaged food, and food with unbalanced nutrients. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between macronutrient diet, fiber, and physical activity with the incidence of obesity at Nuris Jember High School. This method is an observational study with a case-control design. Sample selection using purpose sampling of as many as 81 respondents consisting of 27 cases and 54 controls. The research instruments used were weight measurement, height, SQ-FFQ form, and PAL. Data were processed using statistical applications using the chi-square test and if not eligible, the Fisher's exact test was performed with a significant value of p less than 0.005. The results of macronutrient consumption patterns and physical activity have a significant relationship with the incidence of obesity (p less than 0.005). While the study could not analyze fiber consumption patterns due to homogeneous results, the existing findings provide a solid foundation for targeted nutrition education programs and public health strategies. This study concludes that there is a relationship between macronutrient consumption patterns and physical activity with the incidence of obesity. This conclusion underscores the importance of balanced diets and regular physical activity in preventing and managing obesity among adolescents.

Abstract

Mistletoe lives as a semi-parasite on the almond tree (Prunus dolcis) within the borders of Hac?lar district of Kayseri province; by obtaining leaf plant extracts of (Viscum album ssp. album), Fusarium moniliforme and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Control and experimental groups were prepared to investigate the antifungal activity against melongenae. Dose-1 extracts prepared as 10mg/ml and Dose-2 extracts prepared as 20mg/ml were applied. Two application doses and a control group were applied for fungal pathogens in 6 replicates. In the control group, sterile distilled water was added. Mixed potato dextrose agar (PDA) containing plant extract was prepared as media. According to the Tukey/Kramer Test, different doses of V. album ssp. album extract were found to detect F. oxysporum f. sp. The effect on the development of Fusarium melongenae and Fusarium moniliforme was compared. Dose-1 and Dose-2 have a significantly higher F. oxysporum, f. sp. F. melongenae, and Fusarium moniliforme effect on colony development than the control. It was also examined whether there was a difference in effect between the two fungi, and it was observed that V. album ssp. album extract had similar effects on both fungal species. Statistical results (p< 0001) were significant at both doses. In conclusion, It was determined that mistletoe leaf extracts showed antifungal activity against both fungal species at Dose-1 and Dose-2 rates.

Abstract

Quality of life plays a crucial role in enhancing employee productivity. This study aimed to assess the relationship between job stress and quality of life among university staff, identifying types of stress that positively or negatively impact well-being. A total of 88 university employees participated, with data collected using the New Job Stress Scale and WHOQOL, both adapted into Indonesian. Analyses included one-predictor regression, product moment correlation, independent t-test, and one-way ANOVA to evaluate job stress and quality of life. The results indicated that job stress predicts quality of life and is correlated with all its domains. Specific components of job stress, such as working time, work-related anxiety, role conflict, work-life balance, and coworker support, were significantly related to overall quality of life. No significant differences in job stress were observed based on gender, age, type of work, length of service, education level, or marital status. Similarly, quality of life did not vary by gender, age, type of work, education level, or marital status. However, significant differences in quality of life were found based on service length, with employees working more than five years reporting better quality of life than those with one to three years of service. The findings suggest universities should implement stress management programs and improve work-life balance policies to enhance staff well-being, particularly for long-serving employees.

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between job training and employee performance at the Puskesmas of Pademangan District, North Jakarta. The study aims to examine how various components of job training, including training objectives, instructors, and materials, affect employee performance. Using a quantitative approach with a descriptive method, data were collected from 192 Puskesmas employees using a structured questionnaire. The results revealed a significant positive relationship between job training and employee performance. Specifically, employees who rated their training programs as "good" demonstrated higher levels of job performance. Statistical analysis using the chi-square test showed that all dimensions of training (objectives, instructors, and materials) were significantly associated with improved performance. These findings support existing theories on the importance of well-structured job training in enhancing employee productivity and service quality. The study concludes that ongoing improvements in training content and delivery methods will further enhance employee performance at Puskesmas. Recommendations for Puskesmas administrators include regular evaluation of training programs and tailored development initiatives to meet specific employee needs. Future research should investigate the long-term impacts of training and explore potential moderating factors such as organizational culture and employee motivation.

Abstract

Ebo (sacrifice) is the feeding of spiritual entities such as gods, witches, and other energies believed to maintain equilibrium between the physical and spiritual worlds. It is an integral part of the Ifa divination system, a religious tradition in Yoruba society, southwestern Nigeria, which provides solutions to various problems. The materials for Ebo range from food items and animals to mineral and natural resources, including both living and nonliving things. Depending on the dictates of the Ifa oracle, Ebo can be offered at any time and placed in locations ranging from private spaces to public areas such as roadsides, rivers, gutters, or canals. Public reaction to the indiscriminate placement of Ebo is predominantly negative, except among practitioners or those offering it. This negativity stems from exposure to western education, foreign religions, and modern civilization. Common societal concerns include whether Ebo, beyond being an eyesore, contributes to air, water, and soil pollution, thus endangering public health. This paper aims to address the public health implications of Ebo placement. To explore these issues, interviews were conducted with 10 Babala?wo-Ifa priests, 10 men, and 10 women in Ibadan who had participated in offering Ebo. The content analysis of their responses revealed no consensus. Opponents of Ebo offerings cited speculative dangers, religious sentiments, and western education as factors shaping their views. This study highlights the complex interplay between traditional practices, modernity, and public health concerns, calling for further dialogue and solutions to mitigate potential risks.

Abstract

Stunting in children, pregnancy complications, and osteoporosis in the elderly remain prevalent in Indonesia, often linked to protein deficiency. This issue is particularly common among lower socio-economic groups, where limited purchasing power reduces protein consumption. The availability of protein sources is further threatened by climate change and declining environmental quality. Conventional protein sources also contribute to environmental degradation. Hence, there is a pressing need for sustainable, affordable, and environmentally friendly protein alternatives. The FAO has recognized edible insects as a viable future protein source. This study focuses on evaluating the nutritional content and food safety of three types of edible insects: mealworms, superworms, and Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL). The research uses a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors: species (S) and larval condition (K). Six treatments are tested, each with three replications. Nutritional parameters assessed include carbohydrates, fats, proteins, antioxidants, and vitamins, while food safety is evaluated through microbial contamination and heavy metal analysis. Edible insects, such as mealworms, superworms, and BSFL, offer a varied nutritional profile, including protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamin E, and antioxidants, making them a promising alternative protein source. Abstrak: Stunting pada anak, komplikasi kehamilan, dan osteoporosis pada lansia masih menjadi masalah prevalen di Indonesia, yang sering kali terkait dengan kekurangan protein. Masalah ini terutama terjadi pada kelompok masyarakat dengan status sosial ekonomi rendah, di mana keterbatasan daya beli mengurangi konsumsi protein. Ketersediaan sumber protein semakin terancam oleh perubahan iklim dan penurunan kualitas lingkungan. Sumber protein konvensional juga berkontribusi pada kerusakan lingkungan. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan alternatif protein yang berkelanjutan, terjangkau, dan ramah lingkungan. FAO telah mengakui serangga yang dapat dimakan sebagai sumber protein yang layak di masa depan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kandungan gizi dan keamanan pangan dari tiga jenis serangga yang dapat dimakan: mealworm, superworm, dan Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL). Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan dua faktor: spesies (S) dan kondisi larva (K). Enam perlakuan diuji, masing-masing dengan tiga replikasi. Parameter gizi yang dianalisis meliputi karbohidrat, lemak, protein, antioksidan, dan vitamin, sementara keamanan pangan dinilai melalui kontaminasi mikroba dan analisis logam berat. Serangga yang dapat dimakan, seperti mealworm, superworm, dan BSFL, menawarkan profil gizi yang bervariasi, termasuk protein, lemak, karbohidrat, vitamin E, dan antioksidan, menjadikannya sumber protein alternatif yang menjanjikan.

Abstract

The high cost of commercial enteral formulas (CEF) and the need for hospital budget efficiency, especially for patients funded by BPJS, are major concerns in nutritional services. Additionally, patient acceptance of enteral formulas is an important indicator of the success of hospital nutrition services. Therefore, hospital enteral formulas (HEF) are designed to meet patients' nutritional needs at a more affordable cost without compromising quality. The aim of this study is to analyze cost efficiency and patient acceptance of food intake when using CEF compared to HEF, as well as to develop recommendations for a more effective and efficient enteral food procurement strategy at RSUD Muhammad Sani Karimun. This study employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. The study informants include key informants, namely six patients on an enteral formula diet and nutrition kitchen staff (Pranata Jamuan), as well as supporting informants, namely the Head of Non-Medical Support Services at RSUD Muhammad Sani. Informants were selected using purposive sampling. Primary data were obtained through observations and interviews, while secondary data were collected through document analysis. The problem identification process used the fishbone method. The study results indicate that HEF is 51.64% - 52.64% more cost-efficient than CEF. Patient acceptance of HEF is relatively high, particularly in terms of taste and texture, while factors such as hygiene and lower costs are the main advantages of HEF. HEF is a more efficient alternative that still meets patients' nutritional needs. The use of HEF is recommended to optimize hospital budgets without compromising the quality of patients’ nutritional intake.

Abstract

Dengue hemorrhagic fever is caused in part by Aedes aegypti. Ae. aegypti's primary breeding habitat is a non-groundwater reservoir. Chemical variables including pH, salinity, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) all have an impact on the growth of Ae. aegypti larvae. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of water chemistry parameters on egg hatchability as well as the number of Ae. aegypti larvae and pupae in clothes washing wastewater. The experimental design in this study was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three treatment media (washing clothes wastewater from dengue patients' houses, water municipal waterworks, and abate) three repetitions. The parameters measured are egg hatchability, number of larvae, number of pupae, dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, salinity, and total dissolved solids. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and the Honestly Significant Difference (BNJ) test at a 5% confidence level. The results showed that wastewater from washing clothing had a 26.00% affect on the hatchability of Ae. aegypti, 22.67% of the larvae, and 10.67% of the pupae. The chemical content in clothes washing wastewater for DO is 7.60 mg/L, TDS is 136.00 ppm, pH is 7.80, and salinity is 0.10%.  The chemical content of DO and TDS in clothes washing wastewater differs greatly from water municipal waterworks and abate water, while pH and salinity do not differ significantly. This study concludes that wastewater from washing clothes has the potential to serve as a breeding ground for the Ae. aegypti mosquito, which transmits the dengue virus.

Abstract

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication associated with oxidative stress and increased levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), leading to endothelial dysfunction and impaired placental perfusion. Nanocurcumin possesses antioxidant properties that can mitigate oxidative stress; however, its effectiveness in reducing MDA levels in preeclampsia requires further investigation. This study aims to evaluate the effect of nanocurcumin administration on plasma MDA levels in pregnant Rattus norvegicus models of preeclampsia induced using Nw-Nitro-L-Arginine Methyl Ester (L-NAME). A total of 24 pregnant Wistar rats were divided into six groups: negative control (K-), positive control (K+), and four treatment groups receiving nanocurcumin at doses of 25 mg/KgBW (P1), 50 mg/KgBW (P2), 100 mg/KgBW (P3), and 200 mg/KgBW (P4). Preeclampsia was induced by administering L-NAME (125 mg/KgBW) for six consecutive days, followed by nanocurcumin treatment. Plasma MDA levels were measured using the Thiobarbituric Acid (TBA) assay and analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and post-hoc Mann-Whitney test (p < 0.05). Nanocurcumin administration at 25 mg/KgBW and 50 mg/KgBW significantly reduced MDA levels compared to the preeclampsia group without treatment (p = 0.042, p < 0.05). However, a high dose of 200 mg/KgBW increased MDA levels, indicating a potential pro-oxidant effect. Low to moderate doses of nanocurcumin effectively reduced MDA levels in the preeclampsia model, but further studies are necessary to determine the optimal dosage and its safety in humans. Abstrak: Preeklamsia merupakan komplikasi kehamilan yang berhubungan dengan stres oksidatif dan peningkatan kadar malondialdehyde (MDA), yang menyebabkan disfungsi endotel dan gangguan perfusi plasenta. Nanokurkumin memiliki sifat antioksidan yang dapat mengurangi stres oksidatif, tetapi efektivitasnya dalam menurunkan kadar MDA pada preeklamsia masih perlu dikaji lebih lanjut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh pemberian nanokurkumin terhadap kadar MDA plasma pada tikus putih (Rattus norvegicus) bunting model preeklamsia yang diinduksi menggunakan Nw-Nitro-L-Arginine Methyl Ester (L-NAME). Sebanyak 24 ekor tikus Wistar bunting dibagi menjadi enam kelompok: kontrol negatif (K-), kontrol positif (K+), serta empat kelompok perlakuan yang menerima nanokurkumin dengan dosis 25 mg/KgBW (P1), 50 mg/KgBW (P2), 100 mg/KgBW (P3), dan 200 mg/KgBW (P4). Induksi preeklamsia dilakukan dengan pemberian L-NAME (125 mg/KgBW) selama enam hari, diikuti pemberian nanokurkumin. Kadar MDA plasma diukur menggunakan metode Thiobarbituric Acid (TBA) assay dan dianalisis dengan uji Kruskal-Wallis dan post-hoc Mann-Whitney (p < 0.05). Pemberian nanokurkumin 25 mg/KgBW dan 50 mg/KgBW secara signifikan menurunkan kadar MDA dibandingkan kelompok preeklamsia tanpa terapi (p = 0.042, p < 0.05). Namun, dosis tinggi (200 mg/KgBW) justru meningkatkan kadar MDA, menunjukkan efek pro-oksidan. Nanokurkumin dosis rendah hingga sedang efektif dalam menurunkan kadar MDA pada model preeklamsia, tetapi studi lanjutan diperlukan untuk menentukan dosis optimal dan keamanannya pada manusia.

Abstract

Dengue is a common tropical mosquito-borne viral disease that is affected by environmental factors such as rainfall, temperature, and urbanization. This study investigates the relationship of the environmental factors with the distribution of Aedes mosquitoes on dengue transmission in areas identified as suburban and rural in the Kluang district, Johor. Weekly ovitrap surveys were conducted at 20 study sites over four consecutive weeks, with traps retrieved and replaced every seven days. Concurrently, temperature and humidity readings were recorded three times daily to assess their relationship with Aedes mosquito populations. The results indicate a significantly higher Aedes mosquito populations and dengue incidence in the suburban area (Taman Sri Kluang) compared to the rural area (Kampung Palembang). Higher temperatures and lower humidity were strongly associated with increased mosquito abundance and dengue prevalence. Statistical analysis were conducted using R version 4.4.3. The results confirm significant differences in Aedes density and environmental conditions between the two study areas. These findings underscore the need for targeted vector control interventions, climate-adaptive public health strategies, and enhanced dengue surveillance in high-risk areas. Public health intervention should include enhanced vector control in suburban areas, such as frequent larvicidal treatments and improved drainage management. In rural areas, pre-emptive source reduction before peak rainy periods and promotion of covered water storage systems can help minimize mosquito breeding. Additionally, climate-based early warning systems should be integrated into vector surveillance programs to predict and mitigate dengue outbreaks effectively. Community engagement through education campaigns and neighbourhood clean-ups should also be prioritized to sustain long-term dengue prevention efforts. The findings contribute to a better understanding of how climate variability affects mosquito populations, emphasizing the importance of integrating environmental monitoring into dengue prevention programs. Future research should explore the long-term implications of climate change on dengue transmission dynamics.
