Abstract

Temephos is an insecticide active ingredient often used by a community as Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) vector control in imago. The development of Ae aegypti is influenced by biotic and abiotic factors. This study aimed at determining the effects of temephos concentration on mortality and a life level of Ae aegypti at some concentration tests.The experimental design used in this study was Complete Random Design (CRD). This study involved temephos as the active ingredient and third instar Ae. Aegypti larvae originating from Pangandaran Regency. Data analysis used an ANOVA test with 5 treatments and 5 replications. The results showed that there was any influence of concentration towards a number of mortality, a life level, morphology of larvae, pupae and imago, a number of males and females, and a number of eggs hatchability. Temephos concentration affected the mortality of third instar larvae of Ae. aegypti with temephos concentration of 0.019 ppm, 0.069 ppm, 0.105 ppm, and 0.140 ppm and affected a life level of Ae. aegypti with biological parameters.

Abstract

Background: Dengue is a viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes that continue to be a significant health challenge in many tropical and subtropical countries. So far, Geographic Information System (GIS) in the health sector contributed to disease prevention, especially for visualization of the disease case. GIS is one of the important tools in spatial epidemiology to assist identification and spatial analysis of the target disease intervention. This article summarizes the use of GIS to assess risk factors for DHF, and how efficient the use of GIS in facilitating the improvement of disease surveillance systems for the prevention and control of diseases. Methods: This paper was developed using a descriptive approach, conducted in September and December 2019. The primary data used in this research were from ScienceDirect databased by collecting some studies that assess the risk of dengue using GIS applications. Results: The results of reviews of research in several countries which use GIS applications in assessing the risk of dengue incidence, ie, in Swat, Pakistan evaluated the impact of the slope, population density, and the distance to the river through GIS applications. Then in Seremban and Putrajaya, Malaysia implemented a participatory approach to identify the spatial risk of dengue in the community. Research in Lahore, Pakistan, analyzed the risk of dengue. Study in Colombia conducted GWR to evaluate the association between socioeconomic factors and the environment with dengue fever incidence. Recently, research in Taiwan integrated GIS to detect the correlation between population density and the possibility of human contact with mosquitoes. Conclusions: Based on the results of the review, it can be drawn that asses the dengue risk with GIS applications is highly relevant because it can determine the factors which affect the incidence of dengue. Besides, it can determine the spatial correlation between risk factors and the incidence of dengue, as well as to evaluate the impact of the dengue occurrence.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is reported as a world health problem, especially in developing countries. It is estimated that one third of the world's population has been infected by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. WHO has stated that tuberculosis has now become a global threat. Indonesia is one of the 27 countries in the world with MDR-TB cases. Methods: A qualitative study with an ethnography design was conducted to determine and reveal the meaning of treatment-seeking behavior in “Batu Balender” or TB patients in Buru Island, Maluku, Indonesia. The research data was collected through interviews with 15 informants from all risk groups that are directly related to TB. Observations were made to ensure the validity of the data. Results: This study revealed that from generation to generation, the Alifuru tribe believes that diseases are grouped into three categories: natural diseases, sick submissions, and ancestral curse. Indigenous people have believed that TB is an incurable ancestral curse disease. They know the "Kaygosa" who is believed to be the holder of natural medicinal plants to treat TB, such as leaves and bark. Conclusions: Alifuru tribal people who access health services to obtain Directly Observed Treatment Short-Course (DOTS) have experienced failure in treatment due to local customary rules that prohibit taking medicine if a tribal community has died and believes that a community health center or hospital is "house died". This study suggest that education and counseling for TB treatment should be optimized in efforts to improve the health of local tribal communities.

Abstract

Indonesia has a long history of adolescent marriage and early childbearing. The religious, sociocultural and economic factors have been pointed out as the major drivers of early marriage while the 1974 Marriage Law was considered ‘weak’ in preventing the event. As the house of representative has passed the new bill in increasing the minimum legal age of marriage for female from 16 to 19 years old in 2019, a question posed whether the enactment of the new marriage law will be effective in preventing adolescent marriage in Indonesia.

Abstract

The very rapid ageing of Singapore’s population is placing a huge burden on informal caregivers. I discuss two macroeconomic strategies – strengthening redistributive measures and professionalizing informal caregiving - that may alleviate this burden. A national study on informal caregiving is urgently required to identify specific areas and caregiver segments that will benefit from these strategies.

Abstract

Scabies is still a health problem in the world, including Indonesia. The World Health Organization (WHO) in 2017 stated that scabies is included in the Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) which requires large-scale control. In Indonesia, according to data from the Ministry of Health Republic of Indonesia the prevalence of scabies in 2017 is 6% of the total population in Indonesia. Discussion on the incidence and prevention of scabies from various regions in Indonesia so far is still not comprehensive. This review will provide an overview related to epidemiology and preventive measures against scabies so that scabies cases in Indonesia can be controlled properly
