<![CDATA[Background & Objective: Drinking water is a very important human need. Drinking water that is suitable for consumption must meet established standards, among others, according to the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia No.492/Menkes/IV/2010. This study aims to determine the presence or absence of coliform bacteria in the drinking water of students using the MPN method. Methods: This type of research is descriptive. The sampling was carried out at the Al-Mu'aawanah Islamic boarding school. The results showed that the samples of drinking water for male and female students for microbiological parameters showed that the samples were positive for coliform bacteria. The sample for female students was 22/100 mL, and the sample for male students was 2/100 mL. Based on Permenkes No.472/Menkes/IV/2010, the maximum total concentration of coliform bacteria is 0/100 mL, which means that it is not in accordance with the standards of Permenkes No.472/Menkes/IV/2010, and the growth of faecal coliform bacteria was found in EMB media in both samples. namely the metallic green Escherichia coli bacteria, which indicates that the sample does not meet the microbiological requirements of drinking water.]]>

<![CDATA[Background & Objective This study aims to determine the egg-laying behaviour of Aedes aegypti in water contaminated with animal waste and soil, count eggs caught in cages, observe and count the number of healthy and damaged eggs, and compare the number of eggs from each water medium. Method This study is descriptive, the data were analyzed using the SPSS application, presented in tabular form, and explained in a narrative manner. Result The results of observations of egg-laying behaviour indicate that water contaminated with animal waste and soil can be a breeding ground for the Aedes aegypti. Conclusion Based on the results of observations of the behaviour of Aedes aegypti in water media contaminated with animal faeces and soil, it shows a distinctive behaviour, that water contaminated with animal faeces and soil is favoured by Aedes aegypti as a place to lay eggs and breed. The total number of eggs caught was 1,716, with the number of healthy eggs ( 1,219) and the number of damaged eggs (497). Differences in the content contained in the water media affected the laying of Aedes aegypti eggs but did not affect the number of healthy or damaged eggs.]]>

<![CDATA[Background & Objective Thalassemia is a blood disorder caused by genetic factors that cause the globin chain in hemoglobin to not function normally. It is the most common hereditary disease in the world and in Ciamis Regency in 2021 there were 191 patients. Thalassemia prevention is carried out by screening to identify thalassemia carriers. Hematological examination in the form of erythrocyte index (MCV, MCH, MCHC) and mentzer index has been known to determine thalassemia screening. The purpose of this study was to determine the description of erythrocyte index and mentzer index in thalassemia patient's father. Method The method used in this study is descriptive method. The population in this study were members of POPTI (Parents Association of Thalassemia Patients) Ciamis Regency. The sample in this study were 30 samples. Result Based on the results of the study obtained the results of erythrocyte index (MCV, MCH) low (MCHC) normal and Mentzer index obtained the results of 20 samples (66%) suspected as thalassemia carrier, 5 samples (17%) suspected iron deficiency anemia and according to the reference value there were 5 samples (17%). Conclusion The results of a study conducted on 30 fathers of thalassemia patients showed that 83% of fathers of thalassemia patients had MCV and MCH values below the normal threshold and 73% had normal MCHC values. Furthermore, from the results of the Mentzer index examination, it is known that 66% of the fathers of thalassemia patients are suspected of having minor thalassemia, 17% are suspected of having iron deficiency anemia disorders and 17% have a normal Mentzer index.]]>

<![CDATA[Background & Objective: Blood glucose is the level of glucose in the blood whose concentration is strictly regulated by the body. Increased blood glucose in adolescents is caused by changes in lifestyle and diet that tend to refer to an unhealthy lifestyle and diet due to frequent consumption of sugary drinks, instant food, or fast food. If this habit cannot be changed, it can lead to blood glucose disease. The purpose of this study was to determine blood glucose levels in adolescents aged 17-20 years in RW 06, Rongtengah, Sampang. Method: The type of research used is descriptive. The population in this study were adolescents aged 17-20 years in Rongtengah Village, Sampang. The research sample was adolescents aged 17-20 years in RT 01 to RT 05, RW 06, a total of 42 people from Rongtengah Village, Sampang. This study used a purposive sampling technique that met the criteria of 17-20 years of age—the technique of checking blood glucose levels using the POCT method with units of mg/dL. Data analysis in this study will be tabulated in tabular form. Result: The results of the study obtained as many as 5 high yield samples, the results of normal blood glucose levels as many as 37 samples. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study shows that adolescents still have the potential to have high blood glucose levels.]]>
