Abstract

The 2018 Riskesdas report states that East Kalimantan ranks 23rd as the province with the highest prevalence of stunting in Indonesia, especially in Kutai Kartanegara Regency. The purpose of this study was to analyze the determinants of knowledge about stunting in students of SMK Muhammadiyah Loa Kulu. This study used a cross sectional design with proportional random sampling and simple random sampling techniques. The population of this study was 140 and the sample was 104 people. Data collection was done by filling out a questionnaire. The results showed a relationship between gender (ρ=0.002), information exposure (ρ=0.000), and health worker support (ρ=0.000) with respondents' knowledge about stunting. The results of multivariate analysis showed that the dominant variable associated was information exposure (PR 5.04). Based on the results of the study, the most dominant variable associated with the knowledge of SMK Muhammadiyah Loa Kulu students is information exposure.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus is a disorder of the metabolic system with increased blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia), caused by the inability of the pancreas to produce insulin or lack of insulin sensitivity. Management of DM has four pillars, namely education, diet therapy, physical activity, and drug therapy. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between dietary adherence and physical activity with blood sugar levels in patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus in the working area of ​​the Pasundan Health Center. This type of research is analytic observational with cross sectional design. Sampling using consecutive sampling technique and a total sample of 40 people. The data analysis used is the Spearman Rank Test. The results of the study showed a relationship between dietary compliance and GDS levels (p = 0.000) and there was a relationship between physical activity and GDS levels (p = 0.026).

Abstract

Rain is a very important factor in the availability of water for planting. Farmers still use traditional methods in determining planting schedules. This determination is considered less than optimal. This research aims to analyze rainfall on corn production in South Tapanuli Regency based on rainfall data, and determine the relationship between rainfall and the suitability of sweet potato plants. The research method used is a survey method and literature review. This type of research is a survey method with a correlation and descriptive approach to see the relationship between rainfall and corn which is used using correlation. From this research, the results of correlation and regression analysis of rainfall variables on corn productivity variables over the last 10 years obtained from the South Tapanuli Regency Central Statistics Agency illustrate that the positive influence is weak.

Abstract

Balakka (Phyllanthus emblica L.) contains phenolic compounds, such as geraniin, quercetin 3-β-Dglucopyranosida, kaempferol 3-β-Dglucospiranoside, isochorylagin, quercetin, and kaempferol. The purpose of this research is to identify the phytochemical content of alkaloids and types of flavonoids in balakka leaves. This type of research is qualitative with a laboratory experimental research design conducted at the Itkessu Pharmaceutical Laboratory. The results of the phytochemical screening identified positive alkaloids in the presence of a white precipitate with mayer, a brown precipitate on Wagner and an orange precipitate on Dragendroff. In positive flavonoids with a change in color to pink. Alkaloids in the pharmaceutical field are used as antitumor, antipyretic, anti-pain while flavanoids are useful as antivirals, antifungals, anti-inflammatories.

Abstract

This research is a quantitative study that uses quasi-experimental research methods that aim to analyze the effect of adding lemongrass extract (Cymbopogon Nardus L.) to the characteristics of the edible film, and to analyze the antimicrobial activity of the edible film. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with the addition of lemongrass extract, namely control, 1%, 1.5%, 2.5%. And it was repeated 3 times so that 12 treatment units were obtained. The data obtained were calculated using Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and if there was a difference, continued with Duncan's test using SPSS 16. The results showed that the addition of 2.5% lemongrass extract affected the characteristics of the edible film form of thickness, water resistance, elongation, and has the ability to inhibit pathogenic bacteria with a concentration of 2.5%. However, there was no significant difference in the tensile strength with a concentration of 2.5%.

Abstract

Efficiency is one of the efforts in implementing energy conservation. Economizers are an alternative source of energy that can survive because of the potential for energy efficiency. Economizer equipment in producing electrical energy and steam produces less than 10-30% fuel needed for a conventional energy plant. The Economizer system that was assumed in this study, there was an increase in boiler efficiency with an Economizer system of 19%. As for the need for burning calories in the combustion chamber with an Economizer system of 46,868,200,68 kcal/hour compared to a system without an Economizer of 61.003.054,86 kcal/hour. Thus the fuel requirement will be less with an Economizer system of 7,735 kg/hour compared to a system without an Economizer of 10.069 kg/hour. So that the results obtained with the same ratio and type of fuel, there is a fuel efficiency of 2.334 kg/hour.

Abstract

Based on data from the Samarinda Health Office for 2021 in Harapan Baru Village, the percentage of risk of anemia for young women is (58%). Adolescence is a transition period, therefore eating and sleeping patterns must be appropriate to needs. The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between eating patterns and sleep patterns on anemia status in female students. The research design used a cross sectional approach with a sample size of 45 people. Bivariate data analysis used the Spearman rank test. The results of the study stated that there was a relationship between diet and sleep patterns and anemia status. The ρ value for the diet variable is 0.003 (<0.05), so Ha is accepted with the г value being 0.14. The strength of the correlation is weak in the direction of positive (significant) correlation. The ρ value for the sleep pattern variable is 0.007 (<0.05), so Ha is accepted with the г value being -0.47. The strength of the correlation is quite strong with a negative correlation direction (not significant). There is a relationship between diet and sleep patterns on anemia status with different strength and direction of correlation.
