Abstract

The problem of disease due to dengue virus infection is still a health concern, especially in tropical countries. One of the efforts made is to explore vegetable insecticides as larvicides for dengue vectors, the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Garlic (Allium sativum. L) is believed to be able to repel or inhibit and even kill the larvae of the Aedes aegypti mosquito because garlic has a strong aroma. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of garlic extract as a larvicide of Aedes aegypti. The research method used is a quasi-experimental with a post test only control group design. The larvae of Aedes aegypti used were instar I-IV larvae which were divided into treatment groups and control groups. In the treatment group, Aedes aegypti larvae were given garlic extract with 5 concentrations, namely 0.10% (0.2 mL extract + 200 mL water), 0.20% (0.4 mL extract + 200 mL water), 0.30% (0.6 mL extract + 200 mL water), 0.40% (0.8 mL extract + 200 mL water) and 0.50% (1 mL extract + 200 mL water), while the control group was only given 200 mL mineral water. The results of observing the effectiveness of garlic extract as Aedes aegypti larvicides in all instars showed that the higher the concentration of garlic extract, the more Aedes aegypti larvae died, and the higher the larval instar the higher the concentration needed to kill it. . In the first instar larvae, the LC50 is 0.24%, the second instar is 0.15%, the third instar is 0.16% and the fourth instar is 0.24%, so the higher the instar, the higher the LC50 or concentration needed to kill 50% of the larvae. Key words : larvacide, Aedes aegypti, Allium sativum

Abstract

Dengue virus (DENV) infection is still an important health problem in Indonesia, it is important to identify the specific risk factors in an area. The aims of this study is to analyze the risk factors for DENV infection from various variables such as mobility, preventive behavior, house conditions, occupancy density and the presence of mosquito larvae. This is a case control design, involves 64 cases and 64 control in Cilacap Regency, Central Java. Variables this study were mobility, practice of dengue prevention, ventilation area, occupancy density and presence of mosquito larvae. Data collection was carried out by questionnaire, observation and epidemiology investigation form. Results of this study showed that the existence of Aedes sp larvae and dengue prevention practice as significant factors contributed to the DENV infection in the research area. This research highlighted the importance of dengue prevention and control and human practice as a common denominator to minimize the risk of contracting dengue.

Abstract

Background In tropical areas, Leptospirosis is still considered a public health problem, particularly in the event of heavy rainfall and flooding. Transmission of leptospira bacteria from infected animals, such as rats, takes place through the urine or blood. Different serovar leptospires can be found in different reservoir animals in the field. However, research on the presence of pathogenic leptospires in rats in Pati Regency, one of the areas with leptospirosis cases in Central Java, is very limited. Objectives: The purpose of this research is to identify Leptospira characteristics. Spp in rat and its distribution in Pati Regency. Methods: Rat capture was carried out in Bakaran Kulon Village in Pati Regency. Detection of pathogenic leptospires was carried out using the ropB gene and followed by phylogenetic analysis. As additional details, a buffer analysis was carried out to measure the distance between the positions of cases of leptospira and positive rats positions. Results: Pathogenic were found in 11.76% (2/17) of rats and shallows in the area of study. Based on DNA leptospires sequencing, Leptospira found in Bakaran Kulon Village Pati Regency were Leptospira interrogans serovar Bataviae and Leptospira borgpetersenii serovar Ballum, both of which are pathogenic. Based on a buffer analysis, Leptospira-positive rat was found around cases of leptospirosis at distances of 30 and 60 m. Conclusion: This study shows that Leptospira spp. in rats found around the location of leptospirosis cases, which indicates that rats have great potential as transmitters of leptospirosis to humans.

There was a total of 915 samples participated through an electronic questionnaire. Data were analyzed as univariate, and chi-square was used in bivariate analysis. There’s a significant relationship between the exposure of information about the Covid-19 vaccine with willingness to receive the vaccination

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a public health concern since it has the potential to cause consequences such as stroke, coronary heart disease, renal failure, and eventually become one of the leading causes of premature death worldwide. In many parts of Indonesia, notably rural regions, the prevalence of hypertension is relatively high. Information on hypertension risk factors in rural regions is required to develop effective interventions for the prevention and treatment of hypertension among rural communities. The purpose of this study is to investigate the risk factors associated with the prevalence of hypertension in rural areas. Methods: This research is a quantitative study using a case control approach with a total sample of 76 respondents. The comparison of the case and control groups in this study was 1:1.Questionnaires are used as instruments in data collection. The chi square test was used to assess the data. Results: Most of the respondents were in the late elderly age (35.5%), female (84.2%), had a family history of hypertension (40.8%), had normal BMI (30.3%), and obesity (28.9%). Most of the respondents did not smoke (93.4%), consumed less vegetables and fruit (78.9%), were not stressed (93.4%) and had sufficient levels of physical activity (82.9%).The findings revealed there was a relationship between age and hypertension (p value = 0.000). Gender (p = 0.753), family history of hypertension (p = 1,000), obesity (p = 0.502), smoking habit (p = 1,000), fruit and vegetable consumption (p = 0.778), level of stress (p = 1000), and physical activity (p = 0.542) were not linked with hypertension. Conclusions: Community health activities in rural regions must be strengthened in order to monitor public health status (including blood pressure monitoring) and approach the community to increase their involvement in these activities.

Abstract

Background : Parenting style can influence the occurrence of obesity in children through their attitudes, habits, choices, and diet patterns. School-age children require a balanced nutritional intake to support their growth and development. Therefore, parents need to pay great attention to their child's nutrition to ensure that their growth and development processes are not disrupted and to prevent various illnesses. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between parenting style and diet patterns with the incidence of obesity in school-age children at Muhammadiyah University Elementary School, Purwokerto Methods : This research used a cross-sectional design with purposive sampling. The total number of respondents in this study was 46 students. The Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ) was used to assess parenting styles, while the Food Frequency Questionnaire was used to determine the diet patterns of the respondents.The data analysis used in this study was the Spearman correlation test. Results : The results of the bivariate analysis indicate that there is no significant relationship between parenting style and obesity (p=0.331). However, there is a significant association between fast food consumption and obesity (p=0.000), while there is no significant association between the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and obesity (p=0.309). Conclusions : There was no association found between parenting style and the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages with obesity. However, a significant association was observed between fast food consumption and obesity among school-age children at Muhammadiyah University Purwokerto Primary School.
