Abstract

Cookies are a popular type of dry cake in Indonesia and are liked by various groups. Generally, cookies are made using wheat flour as the main ingredient, but black glutinous rice flour, which is rich in fibre and has health benefits, is chosen as an alternative substitute for wheat flour. This study aims to explore the effect of substituting black glutinous rice flour in cookies on organoleptic acceptance and nutritional content of the product. Objective: This study aims to identify the effect of substituting black glutinous rice flour on the organoleptic acceptance of cookies and to identify the effect of substituting black glutinous rice flour on the nutritional content of cookies.Method: This study uses an experimental method with a Completely Randomised Design (CRD). Organoleptic tests were conducted to assess parameters of colour, aroma, taste, crunchiness, and texture by using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Analysis of nutritional content using the anova test was carried out to measure the levels of water, ash, fat, protein, and carbohydrates in cookie products that use black glutinous rice flour as a substitute. Results: The results showed that there was a significant effect of adding black glutinous rice flour on the parameters of colour, aroma, taste, and crunchiness (P<0.05). However, there was no significant effect on the texture parameter (P>0.05). The nutritional content analysis showed that the water content of cookies varied, with the lowest value in P2 (4.98%), which almost reached the SNI standard limit (maximum 5%). Ash content increased with the increase in substitution of black glutinous rice flour, reaching the highest value in P4 (2.36%), which exceeded the SNI standard limit (maximum 1.8%). Fat content also increased, although it remained within the limits allowed by SNI (maximum 35%). Protein content slightly decreased in P2 (8.09%) compared to P1 (8.18%), showing no significant increase. Meanwhile, carbohydrate content decreased with the increase in substitution of black glutinous rice flour, with a significant difference between P1 (60.66%) and P2 (59.63%). Conclusion: Substitution of black glutinous rice flour in cookie production can improve organoleptic acceptance and nutritional content of the product, especially in terms of colour, taste, aroma, and crunchiness. The addition of black glutinous rice flour also affects the levels of water, ash, fat, protein, and carbohydrates, with the potential to increase the nutritional value and health benefits of the product.

Abstract

The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is commonly used to assess the severity of head trauma; however, it is not sufficiently accurate for predicting midline shift (MLS) without imaging support. This study aims to analyze the sensitivity and specificity of GCS in predicting MLS in patients with acute SDH. Subjects were patients diagnosed with acute traumatic SDH who underwent non-contrast head CT scans. Data were collected to assess the correlation between GCS scores and MLS values and to determine the GCS cut-off point for predicting MLS. Among 34 patients, the majority were male (76.5%) and aged between 18–34 years (35.3%). Most patients had a GCS score of 9–13 (38.2%) and showed subarachnoid hemorrhage on CT scan (44.1%). A strong correlation was found between lower GCS scores and increased MLS. The mean MLS increased significantly with decreasing levels of consciousness. The GCS cut-off score to differentiate significant MLS was 13, with a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 79.3%, positive predictive value of 87%, and negative predictive value of 85%. GCS has a strong correlation with MLS and can be used as a reliable clinical indicator to predict MLS in patients with acute traumatic SDH.

Abstract

Academic procrastination is a delaying behavior often found among students. The study was conducted because there were still a number of students in the 2020 batch of public health study programs who were not on time in completing their studies, allegedly related to procrastination behavior. This study aims to reveal the internal and external factors that trigger procrastination in completing the final project. The method used was descriptive qualitative, informants were selected purposively, namely: one key informant (caprodi), four main informants (students), and three supporting informants (academic supervisors). Data obtained through initial surveys, interviews, and documentation were analyzed through the stages of reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the more dominant (internal) factors include weak time management, low self- efficacy, and psychological conditions. While (external) factors including environmental conditions, and social support do not directly cause procrastination but can strengthen or reduce the causes in terms of internal factors. Academic procrastination in 2020 batch students of public health study programs is triggered by a combination of internal and external factors, which are dominated by internal factors. Suggestions, for students it is important to improve time management skills and build self-efficacy through structured and consistent study planning, especially when in the progress of preparing the final project.
CORRELATION BETWEEN BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) AND FEMOROTIBIAL JOINT SPACE WIDTH ON LYON-SCHUSS KNEE RADIOGRAPHS IN PATIENTS WITH KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS AT H. ADAM MALIK GENERAL HOSPITAL, MEDAN, IN 2025 Asrini Rizky Nasution; Henny Maisara Sipahutar; Husnul Fuad Albar

Abstract

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of osteoarthritis and a frequent cause of chronic health problems. The femorotibial joint space is one of the most predictive factors associated with clinical symptoms and outcomes in patients with knee OA. Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of knee OA. Measurement of the knee joint space is most accurately performed using the Lyon-Schuss position. Methods: This study is an analytic study with a cross-sectional design. Radiological examinations were performed in the Lyon-Schuss position, and the narrowest femorotibial joint space was measured. Bivariate analysis using the chi-square test The Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis test. Correlation analysis was then performed to determine the strength of the relationship between BMI and femorotibial joint space width. Results: Bivariate analysis showed a relationship between BMI and OA grade (p = 0.093), as well as between femorotibial joint space width and both BMI (p = 0.000) and OA grade (p = 0.000). A negative correlation was found between BMI and femorotibial joint space width, with the regression equation: y = 8.577 - 0.255x, where y represents femorotibial joint space width (mm) and x represents BMI (p = 0.000; R² = 0.306). Conclusion: There is a negative correlation between body mass index and femorotibial joint space width in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Abstract

The prevalence of smoking in Indonesia is very high and has become a public health problem. According to 2023 WHO data, the proportion of cigarettes among the adult population (15+) in Indonesia reached around 34.5%. To address this, the role of the community is essential as a proxy for behavior change. This study reviewed literature and secondary data (WHO, the Indonesian Ministry of Health, BPS, and academic studies) to understand how local community involvement can prevent the spread of smoking. The research method used was a descriptive qualitative study with content analysis of quantitative and qualitative data. The results of the study indicate that community empowerment programs such as anti-smoking campaigns involving community leaders and community-based health education raise awareness and change social norms about smoking (Halim et al., 2024; Sugiyo & Sutrino, 2021). For example, the "Kampung Tanpa Asap Rokok" (Smoke-Free Village) in Surabaya successfully created a smoke-free environment through community mobilization (Sadono & Fatah, 2018). In conclusion, community participation effectively strengthens tobacco control efforts when accompanied by supportive policies, therefore it is recommended to intensify community-based approaches to smoking prevention. (WHO, 2025; Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, 2024).
