Abstract

Background: The increase in human living standards is in line with the demands of public health quality. Stunting in Indonesia has reached 37.2%, placing it in fifth place in the world and becoming one of the five major health problems being addressed by the government. This study aims to find the right biscuit formulation from cassava leaves and cowpea seeds as an effort to prevent stunting. Methods: Making biscuits needs to be preceded by making cassava leaf paste and winged bean seed flour and then determining various formulations. Variations in winged bean seed flour formulation: cassava leaf paste, namely F1 (20:10), F2 (25:15), F3 (30:10). Biscuits are made using the cream method, namely mixing sugar, skim milk, margarine and egg yolks until homogeneous then adding wheat flour, winged bean seed flour, cassava leaf paste, water and leavening agent. The dough is rolled, molded and baked at 170 o C for 30 minutes. Findings: after carrying out organoleptic tests to measure product quality and determine the best formulation, it turned out that F2 was the biscuit formulation that the panelists liked most. Conclusion: The development of stunting prevention biscuits from cassava leaves and winged bean seeds is a potential solution. The next step is to disseminate this product as part of a stunting prevention strategy in the community. Novelty/Originality of this Study: The use of local agricultural resources, specifically winged bean seeds and cassava leaves, to develop a nutritious and affordable biscuit aimed at preventing stunting is an innovative approach that not only addresses the chronic malnutrition problem but also supports local economies by utilizing underutilized crops.

Abstract

Background: Waste management is a critical issue in Indonesia, particularly in rural areas like Pandansari Lor Village in Malang Regency. Improper waste disposal practices, such as open burning and dumping in rivers, pose environmental and health hazards. This study aims to analyze the waste generation characteristics in Pandansari Lor Village as a baseline for planning a community-based Reduce, Reuse, Recycl waste processing site/Tempat Pengolahan Sampah Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (TPS 3R). Method: A waste sampling method was conducted following the SNI 19-3964-1994 guidelines to measure the waste generation rate, density, and composition. Findings: Household waste data analysis shows that low-income households generate 39.1% of the total waste, while middle and high income households contribute 28.7% and 32.2%, respectively. The amount of waste per day was recorded at 9.73 kg on Friday for low income households, while for middle and high income households, the highest amount of waste occurred on Monday with 8.56 kg and 9.09 kg, respectively. Conclusion: These findings indicate fluctuations in waste generation patterns based on income levels, with certain days producing larger amounts of waste. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study proposes a 3R TPS model adapted to rural waste, focusing on organic waste composting and plastic recycling. This model is designed to increase community participation in waste management through community-based education and empowerment.

Abstract

Objective: According to the 2013 Riskesdas, the prevalence of anemia in Indonesia was 37.1%. Data from the Pariaman City Health Office showed that the prevalence of anemia in 2014 was 43.1%. This study aims to determine the effect of iron (Fe) tablets and nutritional counseling on hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia in the Pariaman City area in 2016. Methods: This study is a quantitative study using a quasi-experimental design. The study population consisted of third-trimester pregnant women with anemia, divided into two groups: the Fe tablet group (n=20) and the Fe tablet plus nutritional counseling group (n=20). Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Dependent T-Test statistical test. Results: The results showed that the average knowledge score in the Fe group was 0.3, while in the Fe plus nutritional counseling group it was 1.4. The average change in knowledge scores between the two groups showed a significant increase (p=0.002). The average attitude score in the Fe group was 2.15, while in the Fe plus nutritional counseling group it was 2.75. The average change in attitude scores between the two groups was not significant (p=0.205). The average action score in the Fe group was 1.050, while in the Fe plus nutritional counseling group it was 2.7. The average change in action scores between the two groups showed a significant increase (p=0.002). The average difference in hemoglobin levels in the Fe group was 0.280, while in the Fe plus nutritional counseling group it was 0.690. The average change in hemoglobin levels between the two groups showed a significant increase (p=0.008). Conclusion: It can be concluded that the provision of Fe supplementation and nutritional counseling results in a higher increase in hemoglobin levels compared to Fe tablets alone. It is hoped that nutritionists in the field will be more active in providing nutritional counseling to pregnant women with anemia to increase their knowledge about anemia. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study proposes an integrated nutritional intervention model combining Fe tablets with a community-based interactive nutritional counselling program. This model can increase the effectiveness of anaemia control programs in pregnant women by combining supplementation and education.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: People perceive acne as a minority disorder (not a major health concern), but it has a significant impact and burden on the victims. Although conventional drugs are available for its treatment, which are applied directly to the affected skin, such as azelaic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and salicylic acid etc. orĀ  formulationAcne vulgaris is a common skin condition that can have a significant impact on individuals, yet conventional treatments often come with various contemporary issues. This paper discusses the contemporary issues related to the conventional treatment of acne and explores a way forward. Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the pilosebaceous unit, with a high prevalence globally and in Nigeria. Although conventional drugs are available for treatment, there are several contemporary issues related to their usage that need to be addressed. Method: Relevant literature, including stakeholder reports and studies conducted globally and locally, were searched and reviewed to identify the contemporary issues related to conventional acne treatment. The key contemporary issues identified include economic, environmental, emotional, social, and spiritual concerns. Findings: The economic burden of costly conventional medications makes them inaccessible for many. Environmental issues arise from the use of potentially harmful chemicals that can pollute water sources and contribute to climate change. Acne can also lead to emotional distress, social stigma, and spiritual conflicts, especially due to the side effects of conventional treatments. Given the limitations of conventional treatments, the article recommends the use of scientifically-proven herbal remedies as a promising alternative strategy. Herbs such as tea tree oil, green tea, chasteberry, black seed, and spikeweed have demonstrated antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-androgenic properties that can effectively manage acne without the adverse effects of conventional drugs. Conclusion: The use of evidence-based herbal medicines offers a way forward in the treatment of acne, addressing the contemporary issues associated with conventional approaches. Further clinical research and regulatory approval are necessary to integrate these herbal remedies into conventional acne management and ensure their widespread and safe use. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study proposes an integrated acne treatment framework that combines conventional therapies with evidence-based herbal medicine. This approach addresses contemporary issues in acne treatment by considering economic, environmental, and socio-cultural aspects.
