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

Along with the increasing need for building materials and high cement prices, innovation in the use of alternative materials that are environmentally friendly and economical is needed. Glass powder waste, which is difficult to decompose and has the potential to pollute the environment, has the potential as a cement substitute because of its supportive physical and chemical properties. Additionally, pumice, as a lightweight aggregate, can reduce the dead load of the structure and enhance the efficiency of construction execution. This study aims to analyze the effect of the addition of glass powder waste as a cement substitution and the use of pumice aggregate on the compressive strength of light concrete. Glass waste, which comes from industrial and household waste, is used as a cement substitute with variations of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%. In contrast, pumice is used as a partial substitute for coarse aggregate. The method used is experimental, with laboratory testing including compressive strength tests at 14 and 28 days of age. The results showed that the addition of glass powder at a percentage of 5% gave the highest compressive strength values of 10.98 MPa (14 days) and 12.40 MPa (28 days), compared to concrete without glass powder, which only reached 8.14 MPa (14 days) and 11.11 MPa (28 days). This suggests that the combination of glass powder and pumice stone can significantly increase the compressive strength of light concrete, although the efficiency of the mixture decreases at higher percentages. This research provides an alternative to the use of local waste and aggregates in the development of environmentally friendly and economically efficient concrete.
