<![CDATA[The application of Behavior Based Safety (BBS) in an effort to reduce the potential risk of accidents has been widely applied in various industries. However, its application with the DO IT (Define, Observed, Intervene Test) method to change unsafe behavior is still rarely implemented. The purpose of the research is how to identify the stages of implementing Behavior Based Safety (BBS) with the DO IT method, what forms of intervention are given in an effort to modify worker behavior for Pertamina officers in of Makassar. This type of research is quantitative with an observational approach. With behavior-based safety using the DO IT method Data collection is done by observation, reviewing documents, and interviews. The Observe stage is to observe the behavior that has been determined, obtained an initial score that the rate of PPE application among the workers was 66,6%. most workers had shown safe behavior (56,6%). Safety briefing was conducted at the Daily Section of the Pertamina. The results, it was found that, with regard to the compliance with operation procedure , most workers had shown safe behavior (53,3%). Based on the research results, the DO IT method is an effective and efficient method for industries that do not yet have a good occupational safety and health management system in a company. This study recommends that companies apply the do it method and strengthen oversight and monitoring related to safety behavior in preventing work accidents and increasing employee work productivity.]]>

<![CDATA[Manuscript presents a study of the causes of accidents on the example of Ukraine in recent years, considering the peculiarities of the modern period. The relevance of this study is due to the high level of industrial injuries in Ukraine compared to the industrialized countries of the European Union. Data on the dynamics of the causes of accidents for the period from 2015 to 2022 are presented. Data for the study were taken from open sources of information. The most trauma-dangerous industries of the national economy are considered. Proposed measures to reduce the level of injury in Ukraine. The analysis of the obtained results showed a certain dependence of the causes of accidents on the coronavirus infection. An unchanging leading position in the organizational causes of accidents has been established. According to the results of the study, regularities were established regarding the most traumatic sectors of the economy in the presented years. The predominance of organizational causes of industrial injuries due to the low motivational component of occupational safety is shown. The need to improve training on occupational health and safety issues for employees at all levels was noted. It was established that the reduction of industrial injuries is impossible without the teaching of labor protection issues in institutions of higher education by future heads of structural divisions and leading specialists. Mandatory review and re-approval of the instructions, the violation of which led to an accident, is proposed. It is recommended to apply mandatory professional selection and more thorough control over periodic preventive medical examinations.]]>

<![CDATA[Wasting remains a significant nutritional challenge in Indonesia. Despite a reduction in its prevalence from 10.2% in 2018 to 7.1% in 2021, the rate still falls short of the national target of 7%. This study aims to examine the relationship between health services and family income on the incidence of wasting in toddlers aged 0-59 months in the Polombangkeng Utara sub-district, Takalar district. The research employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional study design. The population in this study consisted of toddlers aged 0-59 months in the North Polombangkeng sub-district, with a sample size of 146 toddlers. A probability sampling technique was used. The analysis was conducted using the chi-square test. The results of the chi-square test show that household food security is not related to the incidence of wasting, with a p-value of 0.590 (>0.05). Similarly, there is no relationship between growth monitoring and the incidence of wasting, with a p-value of 0.240 (>0.05), and no relationship between the completeness of immunization status and the incidence of wasting, with a p-value of 0.776 (>0.05). However, family income does show a relationship to the incidence of wasting, with a p-value of 0.032 (<0.05). This study indicates that food security and health services do not impact the incidence of wasting. In contrast, family income, which is a primary factor in nutritional problems, does have an impact on the incidence of wasting. The issue of wasting in toddlers can be prevented and addressed through specific and sensitive nutrition interventions.]]>

<![CDATA[Metabolic syndrome is an important indicator in efforts to control non-communicable diseases. The incidence of metabolic syndrome is directly proportional to the incidence of obesity while the prevalence of metabolic syndrome varies based on sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyle. Efforts to identify metabolic syndrome in the community are a crucial step to identify early the potential for hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke and diabetes mellitus. This study aims to identify components of metabolic syndrome based on gender. Cross sectional study is the research design that underlies data collection on risk factors for metabolic syndrome which is carried out through interviews and measurements of height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure and cholesterol levels using NCEP-III criteria as the basis for identifying metabolic syndrome. Data analysis used the Chi-Square test. The metabolic syndrome component in the form of obesity is identified in men and women using different indicators. Both men and women have experienced increases in systolic blood pressure and cholesterol levels. A history of smoking was the only risk factor for metabolic syndrome with a statistically significant difference in proportion between men and women. Behavioral modifications such as eating patterns, rest, and others according to the guidance of the Koran and hadith are needed to minimize the incidence of metabolic syndrome.]]>

<![CDATA[Changes in sexual behavior among teenagers in Indonesia are very worrying. Premarital sexual behavior can have various negative impacts on teenagers. This research aims to determine the knowledge and perceptions of teenagers regarding premarital sexual relations in Gowa Regency. The data collection method used was in-depth interviews. The sample was selected using snowball sampling as many as 7 informants. Data was analyzed qualitatively. The research results showed that the informant's knowledge about reproductive health did not have a positive impact on the informant's sexual behavior, where the informant did not limit risky sexual behavior even though the informant knew the consequences of risky sexual behavior. The informant's perception regarding sexual relations behavior (intercourse) is to seek satisfaction, have fun, the partner must belong completely and also as an expression of affection and love. This study recommends the importance of parental supervision of teenagers' attitudes and behavior through intensive and quality communication without limiting children's rights to mix with their environment. Apart from that, it is necessary to increase the role of parents and religious preachers in providing the best solutions to the problems faced by teenagers using a persuasive approach.]]>

<![CDATA[The role of students as successors to the nation's aspirations for excellence and accomplishment is of great significance, particularly for the younger generation. The weight of this responsibility induces students to neglect their physical well-being, leading to the development of gastritis diseases. Hence, this study aims to investigate the factors that are correlated with the manifestation of gastritis symptoms. The objective of this study is to investigate the correlation between daily physical activity and stress levels with the manifestation of gastritis symptoms among enrolled students at the Islamic University in Makassar. This study examines the characteristics and experiences of college students through a cross-sectional approach. The data collection was facilitated through the use of an online questionnaire. A probabilistic sample method was employed, with a total of 401 respondents included in the study. The students conducted their studies at four universities in Makassar City that are affiliated with religious institutions. The statistical analysis of the data using Spearmen's test showed that there was no statistically significant association between daily physical activity and gastritis symptoms (p value 0.074). However, a significant relationship was observed between stress levels and gastritis symptoms among Islamic students in Makassar City (p value 0.000). The findings of this investigation demonstrated a statistically significant correlation between levels of stress and the manifestation of symptoms associated with gastritis. This study proposes that the implementation of effective stress management strategies among university students is crucial in reducing the occurrence of gastritis symptoms and promoting future academic success and overall well-being.]]>

<![CDATA[Sleep quality is the level of sleep satisfaction experienced by a person which includes the components of sleep quantity, sleep continuity, and fresh and fit when waking up. Poor sleep quality is associated with psychiatric disorders, such as depression and anxiety. Recitation (Murottal) Al- Quran Surah Ar-Rahman Therapy is the chanting of the holy verses of Al-Quran Surah Ar-Rahman which is given to someone to have a relaxing effect. The research was conducted on students using the randomized control trial experimental research method with pre and post approaches with the control group. The study was conducted on 36 respondents (18 respondents in the intervention group and 18 respondents in the control group). The results showed that there was an increase in sleep quality by 13.2% in the intervention group after therapy. The mean difference in sleep quality which showed an increase in sleep quality was 0.11 greater in the intervention group than the control group, but not significant (p=0.908, α=0.05). There was an increase in sleep quality for students after being given Murottal Al Quran Surah Ar-Rahman therapy. Further research is needed with a longer treatment time and it is necessary to study the factors that most influence the sleep quality of master students.]]>

<![CDATA[Anxiety in pregnant women should receive special attention. This psychological problem can even continue into the postpartum period, contributing to the emergence of baby blues and even postnatal depression. The level of anxiety in pregnant women can be minimized with non-pharmacological measures such as prenatal gentle yoga. This study aims to determine the effect of gentle yoga therapy and prenatal dhikr on the anxiety level of pregnant women in the Makassar Urban Area. This research used a pre-experimental design with a one group pretest and posttest design, with a sample of 25 pregnant women. This research uses prenatal gentle yoga and dhikr therapy interventions to reduce anxiety during pregnancy. Univariate analysis was carried out to obtain information regarding sample characteristics such as age, education, parity and gestational age. Bivariate analysis was carried out to find out what happened before and after prenatal gentle yoga and dhikr therapy. The results of the study showed that there was a difference in the level of anxiety of pregnant women (p= 0.000) before and after receiving gentle yoga and dhikr prenatal therapy intervention. In this study, gentle yoga prenatal therapy combined with dhikr was proven to be able to reduce anxiety levels in pregnant women, so that education and socialization can be given to pregnant women so that it becomes a habit.]]>

<![CDATA[The Philippines had several COVID-19 infection waves brought about by different strains and variants of SARS-CoV-2. This study aimed to describe COVID-19 outcomes by infection waves using machine learning. A cross-sectional surveillance data review design was employed using the DOH COVID Data Drop dataset as of September 24, 2022. The predominant variant(s) of concern divided the dataset into time intervals representing the infection waves: ancestral (A0), Alpha/Beta (AB), Delta (D), and Omicron (O). Descriptive statistics and machine learning models were generated from each infection. The final data set consisted of 3,896,206 cases wherein 98.39% of cases recovered while 1.61% died. The highest and lowest CFR was observed during the ancestral wave (2.49) and the Omicron wave (0.61%), respectively. In all four data sets, higher age groups had higher CFRs, and F-score and specificity were highest using naïve Bayes. Area under the curve (AUC) was highest in the naïve Bayes models for the A0, AB and D models, while sensitivity was highest in the decision tree models for the A0, AB and O models. The ancestral, Alpha/Beta and Delta variants seem to have similar transmission and mortality profiles, while the Omicron variant caused lesser deaths despite increased transmissibility.]]>
