Abstract

Anemia remains a common comorbidity complicating over 28% of pregnancy in Indonesia by 2023, Iron deficiency anemia is the most common, and to date, ferritin serum has been used as a diagnostic marker, but has not been routinely examined in pregnant women, thus hindering the accurate diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women. Our study aimed to examine ferritin serum among pregnant women, as well as, to investigate the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in the Dalu Sepuluh Health Center of Deli Serdang Regency. A total of 60 pregnant women were randomly selected to participate in this cross-sectional study. We found that iron deficiency anemia was most common in pregnant women aged 20 – 35 years old (75%), with second-trimester pregnancy (36.7%), multigravida, and multiparity. Interestingly, 57% of pregnant women were considered malnourished (upper arm circumference of < 23.5 cm) which was found in 36.7% of primigravida and is associated with moderate iron deficiency anemia (71.4%), marked with < 30µg/L ferritin serum (p < 0.05). Cut-off point of serum ferritin was 28.98 ng/dL with a sensitivity of 92% and a specificity of 91.4%, indicating that the body's iron levels are in low condition. This study indicated that lower levels of ferritin serum are associated with anemia in pregnant women. We suggested that ferritin serum be put as a mandatory routine examination in pregnancy.

Abstract

The importance of algorithmic thinking in modern education has grown significantly, particularly in the context of computing education in high schools. As computational tools become more accessible, their role in enhancing students' problem-solving abilities has gained considerable attention. This study investigates how computational tools can improve algorithmic thinking among high school students and their overall engagement with computing subjects. The primary objective is to assess the impact of integrating computational tools, such as programming environments and visual coding platforms, on students' development of algorithmic skills. The study adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from pre-and post-tests measuring algorithmic thinking skills, and qualitative data through interviews and classroom observations. A total of 150 high school students from various educational backgrounds participated in the study over one semester. The results indicate a significant improvement in students’ algorithmic thinking abilities after exposure to computational tools, particularly in areas such as problem decomposition, abstraction, and logical reasoning. Additionally, students reported higher levels of motivation and interest in computing subjects. In conclusion, the integration of computational tools in high school computing education not only enhances algorithmic thinking but also fosters greater student engagement. These findings highlight the potential of using technology to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical application in computing education. Further research is encouraged to explore long-term effects and the scalability of these methods across diverse educational settings.
