Abstract

Background: Bananas, esteemed for their nutritional benefits and historical therapeutic use, are a favored fruit among consumers. Paradoxically, the banana peel, a significant by-product of the banana processing industry, is often disregarded and treated as waste. Nonetheless, banana peels represent an overlooked source of nourishment and adaptability. This study aimed to conduct a thorough evaluation of the nutritional composition, phytochemical properties, and bioactivity of green banana pulp and peel extracts. Methods: Banana pulp and peel were subjected to oven drying at a regulated temperature, and proximate analysis was conducted in accordance with AOAC methodologies. The analysis of bioactive components and antioxidant capability was conducted using a UV-visible spectrophotometer. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) was utilized to identify active constituents such as phytochemicals in the extract. The disc diffusion method was utilized to assess the efficacy of the extracts against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Results: The banana peel powder had higher levels of crude protein (7.18±0.02%), crude fat (8.56±0.04%), crude fiber (26.77±0.096%), and ash (10.12±0.0106%). In contrast, banana pulp powder had higher moisture (6.09 ± 0.06%) and carbohydrate (81.76 ± 0.065%) content. The total flavonoid content in banana peel (226.22 mg QE/100g) was higher than that of banana pulp (58.21 mg QE/100g), and banana pulp had the highest total polyphenol content (24.06 mg GAE/100g). Both extracts contained essential tannins, and flavonoids, according to phytochemical screening. Also, banana pulp and peel extracts showed antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the enhanced nutritional profile of green banana peel relative to pulp, alongside its promising phytochemical and bioactive properties. Thus, banana pulp and peel powder may serve as valuable resources with various applications, fostering healthier diets, sustainable agriculture, and environmentally friendly innovations.

Abstract

Introduction: Measles and rubella are infectious diseases that can affect anyone. According to the World Health Organization, in 2017 an estimated 110,000 children under five years of age died globally due to measles. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between mothers’ knowledge and attitudes toward the administration of Measles–Rubella (MR) immunization in children aged 24 months. Methods: This study employed an observational analytic design. The research was conducted at Sidomulyo Primary Health Center, Tungkal Ilir District, in May 2023. The study sample consisted of a portion of children aged two years and above, with a total sample size of 161 respondents. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling. Results: The results showed that, based on knowledge, the majority of respondents had good knowledge, accounting for 104 respondents (64.6%). Based on attitude, most respondents demonstrated a positive attitude, totaling 99 respondents (61.5%). Bivariate analysis indicated that the majority of respondents with good knowledge also had a positive attitude toward MR immunization, with 80 respondents (49.7%). The chi-square test results showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The study concluded that there is a significant relationship between mothers’ knowledge and attitudes toward the administration of Measles–Rubella (MR) immunization in children aged 24 months. It is recommended that the head of the primary health center pay attention to children who have not received MR immunization and implement outreach approaches to ensure that all children receive MR immunization.

Abstract

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus has been increased and our diagnostic strategies are limited to only body mass index (BMI), blood sugar level and life style changes. This is actually a silent driver which we ignored in diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. The elevated level of blood sugar tells us that our pancreas is struggling while high level of cadmium in urine and blood exhibits why pancreas is struggling. Until, we test blood and urinary cadmium levels we cannot reach the actual cause of high blood sugar level. Thus, we ignore a cause which should actually be removed. Therefore, the concentration of cadmium should not be ignored during the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus especially in big cities of Pakistan where exposure is on its peak level.

Abstract

Background: It is required to provide adequate equipment to optimize farmers' pesticide safety management. Pesticide storage and rinsing facilities are necessary to improve farmers' pesticide safety management practices. Water, PPE, a pesticide box, and a first-aid box are all included. This study focuses on describing farmer behaviour in terms of pesticide storage and the use of rinse homes. Methods: Seven farmers from X Village's farmer group participated in this qualitative study. In-depth semi-structured interviews and observation were used to gather data. Interviews were taped and transcribed word by word, then categorized and coded. The data was interpreted, and the outcomes were examined accordingly. Results: The findings revealed that the farmers did not make effective use of the amenities. They simply used the water facilities for hand washing and tank rinsing, and they only wore masks instead of full PPE. The findings revealed that farmers are aware of the dangers of pesticides, but they are comfortable with their old practices and rely on the farmer's habits. The pesticide box increases storing behaviour significantly. Farmers have also made use of the first-aid kit.  Conclusion: According to this research, the provision of facilities has not been able to modify farmers' behaviour in pesticide safety management. The first step towards changing one's behaviour is to become aware of the problem. The more intensive contact between planners, farmers, and other stakeholders are essential.
