Abstract

The culture of eating betel has become a strong tradition in Batak Karo society, especially among women. This tradition is not only an ordinary habit, but also has important social, spiritual and identity meaning. However, on the other hand, the ingredients used in eating betel, such as betel leaves, areca nut, lime, and tobacco, are known to have potential risks to oral health, especially periodontal health. This study aims to explore the relationship between betel eating culture and periodontal health status in Batak Karo women. A literature study was carried out to look for previous research and review the results of previous research. The research results show that the practice of eating betel has a very important cultural value in the lives of the Batak Karo people, especially as a symbol of social status, respect and beauty for women. However, it was found that the majority of Karo Batak women experienced poor periodontal conditions, such as gingivitis, periodontitis and premature tooth loss.

Abstract

Dermatoglyphics is the science of describing streaks on the skin at the tips of the fingers and toes as well as the palms and feet and skin folds on both palms. Several studies have shown a distinctive dermatoglyphic tendency in prisoners. This study aims to determine the fingerprint pattern and the angle of ATD in male prisoners involved in murder and sexual crimes at Prison X. The research sample was obtained by total sampling. The sample size was 113 people. Fingerprint patterns were taken using the Digital persona U.are.U 4500 Fingerprint reader and the ATD angle using a wet stamp on plain paper. The results showed that the dominant fingerprint patterns were the ulnar loop (341 of 720 fingers) and plain whorl (202 of 720 fingers). The dominant ATD angle was >50°. In conclusion, there is no distinctive trend in the fingerprint patterns of male inmates, but there is a distinctive trend in the ATD angle.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the clean and healthy living behaviour (PHBS) among students post-Covid-19 pandemic. The study employs a qualitative method with in-depth interviews to explore behavioural changes in maintaining hygiene and health after Covid-19 is no longer considered a pandemic. The results indicate that awareness and practice of PHBS among students have declined following the end of the pandemic. Factors contributing to this decline include habits, personal reasons, and social environment. The study suggests the need for more intensive health campaigns to promote PHBS among the younger generation to prevent the spread of other infectious diseases in the future.

Abstract

Background: The classifications of both head and facial shapes are significant for understanding racial and ethnic differences in physical anthropology. Objective: The present study was aimed at evaluating the relationship between craniofacial shape classifications and the ethnicities of selected adult Nigerian students residing in a southern Nigerian university. Methods: The study was conducted among 166 students of both Igbo and Efik ethnicities of the College of Health Sciences of Madonna University, Elele campus. With the aid of sliding calipers, measurements such as face length and width, as well as head length and width were obtained. The proscopic and cephalic indices were calculated from the measurements to know their prevalence. The Chi-square test statistic was employed to examine the relationships between cephalometric indices and ethnic groups. Results: Results showed that unlike the cephalic Index, the proscopic index classification was significantly associated with the ethnicity of the participants. The Igbo group has a higher proportion of individuals classified as Hyperleptoprosopic (55.9%) compared to the Efik group (23.0%), while the Efik group has a higher proportion in the Leptoprosopic category. Conclusion: The study concluded that the difference observed between the two ethnic student groups in prosopic index classification was significant, hence a better predictor of facial shapes.

They may nevertheless have an impact on a patient's capacity to inspire them to take preventative action. A crucial and integral component of overall health is oral health. In comparison to professionals who see the dentist more regularly (43%), students visit the dentist for routine dental cleanings just about one-third as often as professionals.

Abstract

Cases of perineal wounds in postpartum mothers are still frequently encountered in Indonesia. One of the factors that can influence the healing of perineal wounds is the role of the family in the care of perineal wounds. This study aims to determine the role of the family in perineal wound care for postpartum mothers. The type of this research is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with 5 informants who are family members (husbands) of postpartum mothers with perineal wounds in the working area of Puskesmas Rama Indra, Lampung. The data were triangulated with a midwife from Puskesmas Rama Indra, Lampung. The results of this study found that the types of family support for postpartum mothers with perineal wounds included instrumental, emotional, informational, and esteem support. Work schedules and local customs become obstacles in assisting the postpartum mother's care. It was found that there is a phenomenon of insufficient family involvement in the early mobilization of postpartum mothers and local customs that hinder perineal wound care. Conclusion, the role of the family still needs to be improved in terms of assisting early mobilization of postpartum mothers with perineal wounds.
