Abstract

Background: Malnutrition remains a critical nutritional challenge in Indonesia, particularly among toddlers, who are highly susceptible. One of the direct causes of malnutrition is inadequate nutrient intake. Insufficient consumption of energy, protein, and fats can lead to suboptimal nutrient absorption and increased vulnerability to infectious diseases. Objective: This study aims to analyze the factors associated with malnutrition among children under five in Kolaka Regency. Methods: This research employed an observational analytic design using a case-control approach. The sample consisted of 82 participants from Kolaka Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province. Data collection involved anthropometric measurements to assess children's weight, alongside questionnaires and food consumption recall forms. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square statistical test, with a significance level set at p<0.05. Results: The study revealed that over 64% of children under five had inadequate energy, protein, fat, and carbohydrate intake. While 54.9% of mothers had moderate to high education levels, 69.5% of the environmental conditions were found to be below standard. Significant associations were identified between malnutrition and energy intake (p=0.000), protein intake (p=0.000), fat intake (p=0.000), carbohydrate intake (p=0.000), Vitamin A (p=0.000), iron (p=0.007), zinc (p=0.013), maternal education level (p=0.004), and environmental conditions (p=0.000). Conclusion: Malnutrition is significantly associated with factors such as energy, protein, fat, and carbohydrate intake, as well as levels of Vitamin A, iron, and zinc, maternal education, and environmental conditions. It is recommended to strengthen cross-sectoral collaboration and program coordination in addressing malnutrition, improve the capacity of nutrition workers through training, and involve community and religious leaders in tackling malnutrition. Keywords: Energy intake, protein, fat, carbohydrates, malnutrition, toddler environment

Abstract

Background: A fly trap is a physical-mechanical method for controlling adult flies, designed to manage fly populations in areas with high fly density. Factors such as food sources, humid environmental conditions, inadequate sanitation, and substandard waste management are suspected to contribute to elevated fly populations in poultry slaughterhouses Objective: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of different bait types and trap colors in capturing flies. Method: A pure experimental design with a 3x3 factorial arrangement was employed, involving two factors: bait type and trap color. A cube-shaped fly trap, measuring 30 cm x 30 cm, was utilized. The bait types tested included chicken offal, fish offal, and shrimp, while the trap colors tested were yellow, green, and red. Data were analyzed using factorial ANOVA with SPSS software. Results: The fly trap with chicken offal bait captured 288 flies, compared to 190 flies with fish offal and 124 flies with shrimp. Among the trap colors, yellow captured 229 flies, green captured 270 flies, and red captured 103 flies. Statistical analysis revealed that bait type had a significant effect on the number of flies trapped (p = 0.032 < 0.05), as did trap color (p = 0.021 < 0.05). However, the interaction between bait type and trap color did not significantly affect the number of flies trapped (p = 0.995 > 0.05). Conclusion: The study concluded that fly traps using chicken offal bait and those colored green were most effective in capturing flies. Both bait type and trap color significantly influenced the number of flies trapped, while their combination did not have a significant impact. Keywords: bait, color, fly trap, flies, poultry slaughterhouse

Abstract

Background: Coastal areas are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change, including sea level rise, coastal erosion, and increased frequency of extreme weather events. These environmental changes pose substantial risks not only to ecosystems but also to human health. In coastal communities, climate change has been associated with a heightened incidence of infectious diseases, respiratory disorders, and sanitation-related health problems. Method: This study employed an analytical observational design using a case-control approach. A total of 200 respondents were selected purposively. Data were collected using structured questionnaires that assessed the perceived health impacts of climate change, sanitation conditions, and access to health services. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were performed, with the Chi-Square test used to determine associations between climate change-related variables and public health outcomes, adopting a significance threshold of p < 0.05. Results: The findings indicate that 83.3% of respondents experiencing poor climate-related conditions reported health issues such as diarrhea, acute respiratory infections (ARI), and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between climate change exposure and the incidence of disease (p = 0.031). Conclusion: Climate change significantly affects the health of coastal populations in Purirano Village, contributing to the increased prevalence of diseases such as diarrhea and ARI. These health risks are exacerbated by inadequate sanitation facilities and limited access to clean water. The study confirms a statistically significant relationship between climate change and disease incidence (p < 0.05). Addressing these challenges requires integrated efforts, including community education, improvements in sanitation infrastructure, and the implementation of climate adaptation and mitigation policies involving both governmental and community stakeholders.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia, as the largest archipelagic country in the world, possesses approximately two-thirds of its territory in the form of marine areas, with a total area of around 3.25 million km². Of this, 2.55 million km² constitutes the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Indonesia has the right to utilize natural resources both living and non-living within its waters, which span an estimated 7.81 million km². This vast maritime potential offers significant opportunities for the development of the marine and fisheries sector, which serves as a key pillar in national economic growth. Objective: This study aims to examine the relationship between climate change and the prevalence of environmentally-based diseases among coastal fishing communities in Abeli District. Method: This research employed a descriptive-analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. Data collection was conducted through structured interviews involving 200 randomly selected respondents using a standardized research questionnaire. Data were analyzed to explore the correlation between perceived climate change (such as increasing air temperatures) and reported cases of environment-related diseases. Results: The majority of respondents (61.5%) were within the 41–60 year age group. Out of 200 respondents, 32 reported having contracted dengue fever. Among these, 2 respondents (1.0%) perceived an increase in air temperature, while 9 (4.5%) did not. Additionally, 7 respondents reported having malaria, and 5 experienced skin diseases. Of those with skin diseases, 2 (1.0%) perceived a rise in temperature, while 3 (1.5%) did not. These results indicate patterns in the perception of climatic changes associated with the incidence of environmentally-influenced diseases. Conclusion: The findings suggest a significant relationship between climate change and the prevalence of environmentally-based diseases within coastal fishing communities in Abeli District. Therefore, it is imperative to implement effective mitigation strategies through enhanced public health education and the strengthening of health infrastructure to address the challenges posed by climate change.
