Abstract

This study was conducted to prove the relationship between the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and theseverity of COVID-19. A retrospective cohort study using medical record data of inpatients from Juneto July 2020. Analysis of the NLR relationship and the degree of severity using the Mann Whitney testif the data had an abnormal distribution. Significant if p<0.05 and 95% confidence interval. If there weresignificant results, we try to measure the cut-off of NLR value to predict severe and non-severe clinicalsymptoms. Total study subjects were 110 patients, with a male as many as 65 (59.1%), the median agewas 53.5 years (range 20-88). Most of the comorbidities were diabetes mellitus (35.5%), followed byhypertension (30%). The severity of clinical symptoms was 50% in the non-severe and severe groups,respectively. The NLR value was higher in the severe group. Mann-Whitney test showed significantdifferences in the value of NLR between the severe group and the not severe group with the p-value<0.001. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis area under the curve (AUC) of NLRon day-1 was 0.716 (CI 95%: 0.605 - 0.826), and the cut-off point of the prediction severity diseaseat day-7 was ≥ 6.14 with a sensitivity of 71% and a specificity of 69.1%. The neutrophil-lymphocyteratio value with severe symptoms was higher than the neutrophil ratio value for lymphocytes with nonseveresymptoms in patients with COVID-19.

Abstract

Productivity can be defined as worker’s performance in terms of quantity, quality and timeliness. Thereare several factors that can affect productivity. This study aims to determine the effect of monotonyand work stress on production department’s shift workers at PT. X wirh age, sex, years of service andquality of sleep as a control variables.This study was an analytic observational study with cross sectional design. The number of respondentswas 49 people which were determined using purposive sampling technique. Data were obtained usingonline questionnaires. Chi square was used for bivariate data analysis and multiple logistic regressionfor multivariate data analysis.From the results of bivariate data analysis, it was found that work stress had an effect on productivitywith a value of p = 0.001 (<0.05). For the analysis of work stress based on age, it affected older workerswith a value of p = 0.004, while based on gender, it affected the female workers with a value of p =0.001, based on years service, it had effect on long service years with a value of p = 0.018 and basedon sleep quality, it affected on poor sleep quality with a value of p = 0.003. The results of multivariateanalysis showed that work stress affected the productivity with a value of p = 0.001 (p <0.05) withgender and sleep quality as variable controls. It was suggested for workers to maximize the rest timeafter serviced a night shift in order to restore their physical condition and for company leaders toestablish good communication towards workers in order to find out critics or suggestion related to thejob.

Abstract

Malaria is a disease that is caused by Plasmodium Sp. And infected by Anopheles mosquitos. Kalimantanis one of endemic places for malaria. Prevalence of malaria is 2-76% depent to the places.Effect ofmalaria to pregnant women can be anemia, renal failure, cerebral oedema and death. Prevamence ofanemia because of malaria in pregnant women is about 3-15%. This research was done by using animalmodel to show malaria in pregnant. Goal of this research was to analyze malaria infection effect tohaemoglobin and haematocrit in pregnant Mus musculus. Research design was experimental usingposttest only with control group design. It consisted of K0 for control (20 samples) and K1 for infectedgroup (19 samples).Pregnant Mus musculus was injected P. berghei to infect plasmodium using 0,2 mlinfected serum intraperioteal in the first day of pregnant. Mus musculus was terminated in 19th day ofpregnant and took cardial blood to examine Hb and Ht of pregnant Mus musculus.The result was Hblevel mean for K0= 12,69 gr/dl and K1=12,832 dr/dl. Mean of Ht for K0=38,070% and K1=38,495%.Statistical anayzes used U-Mann Whitney test, with p value for Hb level was 0,574 and Ht was 0,574.The conclusion was malaria infection could not effect yet to Hb dan Ht level in pregnant Mus musculus.
