Abstract

[Antibacterial Activity Screening of Bacillus sp. PCAR1 from Seaweed Eucheuma spinosum against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria] Microorganisms associated with marine organisms have the potential to produce secondary metabolite compounds with strong antibacterial activity. Previous research has isolated Bacillus sp. bacteria encoded as PCAR1 from Eucheuma spinosum seaweed with antibacterial potential against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. However, the potential bioactivity produced by bacillus sp. PCAR1, especially as an antibacterial against Staphylococcus aureus, still needs to be explored using chemical extraction method. In this research, a total of 100 mL of sterile NB liquid media containing the cell mass of Bacillus sp. PCAR1 was fermented for 5 days and then shaken at 150 rpm. The supernatant was separated from the cell mass by filtration using Whatman filter paper no.1.The filtrate was extracted using ethyl acetate pro-analytics (1:1 v/v). The extracts were analyzed for antibacterial activity using the Kirby-Bauer method, while the chemical composition of the extracts was analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) method. Antibacterial screening of ethyl acetate extract of Bacillus sp. PCAR1 showed an inhibition zone of 6.23±0.06 mm against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25293, which is classified as moderate antibacterial activity. GC/MS analysis showed that the ethyl acetate extract contained 10 chemical compounds that have potential as antibacterial, with four dominant active compounds namely p-Xylene (7.26%), Ethanol, 2-butoxy (5.36%), o-Xylene (3.14%), and mesitylene (3.41%). Overall, these results provide an initial overview of antibacterial compounds that can be synthesized by Bacillus sp. PCAR1.

Abstract

[The Relationship between Subcutaneous Body Fat and Physical Fitness Muscle Endurance in Students of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Warmadewa University] Physical fitness is a collection of physical activities related to health or skills, where the level of fitness can be measured by certain physical tests. Muscular endurance is the ability of muscles to perform repeated contractions within a certain period of time. Fat content also has an important role in physical fitness, namely subcutaneous fat content. This is very necessary in daily activities, including medical students who need good physical fitness, especially when carrying out activities such as providing basic life support. This study aims to determine the relationship between subcutaneous fat levels and muscle endurance in students of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Warmadewa University Batch 2021. This study used a correlational analytic research method with a cross-sectional study design. Subcutaneous fat content data was measured through measurements using a skinfold caliper which was carried out at four body locations, namely biceps, triceps, subscapula and suprailiac, while muscle endurance was measured using the sit up test and push up test. This study used a minimum sample size of 92 students who were taken using simple random sampling technique. Samples were analyzed using univariate analysis techniques and bivariate analysis using Spearman's test. The results showed that the correlation coefficient (r) was 0.395 (p=0.000) for the relationship between subcutaneous fat and muscle endurance sit-ups and the correlation coefficient (r) was 0.467 (p=0.000) for the relationship between subcutaneous fat content and muscle power. The conclusion of this study is that there is a relationship between subcutaneous body fat and physical fitness and muscle endurance in students of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Warmadewa University batch 2021. It is recommended for batch 2021 student to control their subcutaneous body fat and performing exercise such as muscle endurance training in order to be able to perform cardiorespiratory rescucitation.

Abstract

[Risk Factors For Stunting In Toddlers At The New Normal Covid-19 Period At Puskesmas Sukawati I Gianyar District, Bali] Stunting is a growth problem due to lack of optimal nutrition. The world is facing the global COVID-19 pandemic affecting the increase in stunting cases because the fulfillment of basic and standard nutrition cannot be implemented during the pandemic. Because of this, eradicating stunting is one of the important agendas in the health sector in the era after the COVID-19 pandemic (new normal). The diagnosis of stunting is obtained if the Z-score of the length or height of the body to age is less than -2 SD (Standard Deviation) according to the World Health Organization (WHO) growth curve. The data for this study were obtained through direct clinical height measurements and filling out questionnaires. This study involved 60 children consisting of 30 children with stunting and 30 children without stunting. The results of the Chi-Square analysis showed that the low birth weight factor had a p-value of 0.002 which had a significant effect on stunting conditions with an OR value of 5,500 considered to be at greater risk of stunting (95% CI = 1,813 - 16,681), exclusive breastfeeding (p-value 0.003) had a significant effect on stunting with an OR value of 5,741 (95% CI = 1,724 - 18,994) considered to be at greater risk of stunting, feeding patterns (p-value 0.004) had a significant effect on stunting, an OR value of 4,929 (95% CI = 1,612 - 15,071) was considered to be at greater risk of stunting, utilization of health services (p-value 0.003) had a significant effect on stunting, an OR value of 5,231 (95% CI = 1,657 - 16,515) was considered to be at greater risk of stunting, and history of infectious diseases The value (P-value 0.002) has a significant effect on stunting with an OR value of 6,000 (95% CI = 1,890 - 19,043) is considered to be more at risk of stunting. So it is concluded that the risk factors for stunting during the new normal period of COVID-19 at the Sukawati 1 Health Center, Gianyar, Bali with a p value <0.05 which shows a significant relationship between exclusive breastfeeding factors, feeding patterns, utilization of health services, and history of infectious diseases with the incidence of stunting.

Abstract

[The Relation between Family Support and Pulmonary Tuberculosis Drugs Compliance in Working Area of UPTD Puskesmas Kuta Selatan]. The high number of cases of pulmonary tuberculosis and the low success rate of treatment (success rate) caused by non-compliance with recommendations for taking medication can result in sufferers experiencing drug resistance. Family support is needed to ensure that sufferers take medication because the tuberculosis treatment process takes a long time so that the drug withdrawal rate can be reduced. The purpose of this research is to find out the family relationship to compliance with drug consumption in pulmonary tuberculosis victims in the working area of UPTD Puskesmas Kuta Selaran??. A cross-sectional design was used on 35 respondents using a sampling technique using consecutive sampling. Information was collected through the use of 2 types instruments, namely family support questionnaires and the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (MMAS-8) regarding adherence. The data collected was analyzed using univariate analysis and bivariate analysis using the chi square test. The results obtained that there was a relations between family support and drug compliance (? value=0.015, <0.05) and people through good family support are 9,500 times more compliant in taking medication than those with less support. Researchers recommend that health workers carry out outreach to increase family support with the target which not only affects the sufferer but also the family.
