Abstract

Nike fish (duwo, family Gobiidae) is unique because of its periodic appearance so it is eagerly awaited and consumed in large quantities. Based on the family similarities between Nike and Anchovy, it can be estimated that the purine in Nike is quite high (purine in Anchovy is 411 mg/100g). Consuming large amounts of Nike, especially in groups recommended for a low-purine diet (100-150 mg purine/day), can impact high uric acid levels in the blood and lead to the emergence of Gout Arthritis. This research aimed to determine the effect of consuming Nike on uric acid levels of University Bina Mandiri (UBMG) employees. This research is the quantitative experimental type of research, which was carried out to determine the effect of consuming Nike fish on uric acid levels before and after. Data was collected from 31 employees through interviews and measuring uric acid levels before and after giving Nike. The study's results found an increase in uric acid levels before and after the intervention of 5.7 mg/dl and 6.2 mg/dl. Statistical analysis of the ANOVA test obtained a P value or significance before treatment of 0.003, and after treatment of 0.002 or a probability value of 0.05; the research conclusion is that giving Nike had a significant effect on the uric acid levels of employees at UBMG.Keywords: Consuming; Nike fish; Uric acid level.

Abstract

The increasing number of suicide cases in Gorontalo shows the emergence of mental health problems in the community. The suicide perpetrators consist of adults, parents, and some even minors. The perpetrators committed this careless act due to various cause-and-effect factors such as Lack of love for parents, romance, economic factors, and so on. In addition, the perpetrators of suicide are not only women who are known as weak people but also carried out by men. Even the level of education and career owned by the perpetrators seems to no longer be able to prevent their desire to commit suicide. This condition should require serious attention from all stakeholders, especially the provincial government and all levels of society, considering that suicides occur in almost all districts and cities in Gorontalo province. The implementation of local government policies and actions is an inseparable part of efforts to realize development programs in the health sector, especially in the field of mental health, so that mental disorders or illnesses can be immediately detected and treated to minimize suicide as a sign of mental illness that occurs in the social environment. The research method used is a qualitative method of interviewing respondents. The conclusion is that many factors cause suicide, so it is essential to get a lot of attention from various parties, especially the local government.

Abstract

Prevalence of stunting in Indonesia is still major health problem. This study aimed to explore the feeding practices and knowledge of Indonesian mothers in feeding under-five children with malnutrition and the role of the government, health officers and health cadres in stunting prevention. This research conducted during the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia to determine the situation of the pandemic on feeding children.  This qualitative study was conducted in the rural Tasikmalaya regency through 18 in-depth interviews with mothers (n=12), midwives (n=2) and health cadres (n=4). Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Most of the participants had low education, most of the fathers worked as entrepreneurs with income above the minimum wage. The majority of the children were born with normal birth weight, while half of them were not exclusively breastfed, and most of the participants took iron pills during pregnancy. Feeding practices lack variety. Mother's knowledge about stunting is limited to only a superficial meaning. Stunting is still considered to be caused by short parental offspring, not a growth disorder related to poor nutrition. Despite the pandemic, fulfilling nutritional needs remains a mother's priority. Health workers and cadres have provided education about stunting and malnutrition, while the local government has made efforts to intervene but it is still not sufficient. The conclusion of this research is that mothers still lack knowledge and understanding about stunting, feeding practices are still not appropriate, and the pandemic situation has not changed the pattern of feeding practices for children.
