Abstract

In 2013, the obesity rate in Indonesia for people over the age of 18 was 14.8 percent; by 2018, the obesity rate had risen to 21.8%. The significant number of fat people in Indonesia is caused by high sugar consumption and low fiber consumption regularly. 100 grams of pumpkin seeds contain 6 grams of fiber, 30.23 grams of protein, 7.2 mg/100 zinc, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and phytosterols. The purpose of this study is to identify the panelists' level of preference for four formulations of pumpkin seed flour boba using assessment factors such as taste, color, texture, and aroma. The procedural model was used in this research and development. This development study utilizes an opinion-based process, which is then modified based on research needs. Organoleptic testing on boba products without added milk drinks on untrained panelists revealed a significant difference in color and texture parameters. There was no significant difference in panelist acceptability of aroma and taste characteristics. The findings of the untrained panelist's appraisal of boba added to a milk companion drink were then presented, revealing significant changes in the color and texture parameters. Furthermore, there were no statistically significant changes in the aroma and taste indices.

Abstract

The prevalence of Entamoeba histolytica using different methods in detecting the causative pathogens causing amoebic dysentery among children in Rivers State was carried out using standard laboratory procedures. This research was carried out in some selected health establishments in Port Harcourt City, the capital of Rivers State, Nigeria. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of E. histolytica among children in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The study which involved about one thousand stool samples were collected from consented subjects in Rivers State hospitals, of which 533 fecal specimens from male and 467 from female children were collected. Stool sample examined using the three diagnostic methods which were microscopic methods using normal saline and lugol’s iodine, formol-ether sedimentation technique and Entamoeba culture methods. The results showed that, out of the 1000 stool samples examined, 54 (5.4%) were positive for cyst and or trophozoites of E. histolytica when examined by direct saline and lugol’s iodine bright light microscopy. Twenty-one (2.1%) showed presence of E. histolytica when processed by sedimentation method, whereas 87 (8.7%) showed presence of E. histolytica in all the samples processed by culture method. These results implementing 89%, 81% and 95% specificity for microscopy, sedimentation and culture method respectively. Furthermore, culture method, microscopy method and sedimentation method showed sensitivity of 95% 62% and 40% respectively. Data analysis of kappa statistics showed culture method have the highest value of (0.75) followed by microscopy (0.55) and sedimentation (0.33). Finally, culture method which is the most reliable test method could be a very useful tool in the routine assessment as well as surveillance of E. histolytica in a developing country like Nigeria. Therefore, public and personal health hygiene should be taken seriously to avoid and control the infection in Rivers State.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic gained prominence and posed a threat to the traditional education system when quarantine was implemented. The teachers' workload increased as work from home was mandated. As a result of working remotely, the teachers experience challenges in their physical, mental, and socio-emotional health. This study evaluated the health risks as perceived by teachers in a tertiary educational institution working remotely during the era of the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of physical, mental, and socio-emotional health. It also aimed to describe the socio-demographic profile of the respondents and determined their current health problems. A cross-sectional descriptive study design was utilized. The respondents were selected using a non-probability convenience sampling technique and data were collected using a researcher-made Likert-type questionnaire adapted from the Occupational Safety and Health Standards by DOLE (2022). Content and construct validity were accomplished through expert reviews and reliability testing was established through a Cronbach alpha coefficient value of 0.950. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics as well as Z-test and ANOVA for the test of difference. The demographic profile of the respondents indicated a majority belonging to the College of Arts and Sciences, mostly of married civil status, and predominantly female with ages ranging from 41 to 50. The dominant ranks showed Instructors I, II, and III while time engagement in educational technology ranged from 3 hours and above but not greater than 6 hours. The respondents' perceived physical, mental, and socio-emotional health risks revealed a moderate risk as supported by an overall grand mean of 2.629. The physical risk was primarily associated with musculoskeletal problems and had the highest grand mean of 3.038, signifying a moderate level of risk. On the other hand, mental and socio-emotional dimensions were both perceived as low risks, with corresponding grand means of 2.525 and 2.323 respectively. Further results highlighted that level of health risks has a significant difference when grouped according to age (p-value of 0.0012) and academic rank (p-value of 0.0019), thus rejecting the null hypothesis. Sex, marital status, college affiliation, and time engagement in education technology demonstrated no significant difference at all. Health Optimization Practices for Educators (HOPE) was crafted to address health risks by promoting health and wellness through knowledge enhancement. Future studies akin to teachers’ health risks while working remotely need to be explored in the areas of ergonomics and occupational hazards.

Abstract

The incidence of obesity among female adolescents and adults continues to rise in Indonesia, posing significant health risks, such as cardiovascular diseases. Female cadets at the Republic of Indonesia Defense University (RIDU) are reserve members in national defense, and their performance is correlated with their nutritional status; therefore, their nutritional status should be closely monitored. Anthropometric examination is a method for nutritional assessment that incorporates body fat percentage (BFP) as part of body composition analysis. Predictive models for BFP can help identify obesity rates within a population. In Indonesia, no research has focused on BFP prediction models specifically for female RIDU cadets. This study aimed to develop a model to estimate BFP in this group. Conducted in August 2021, the research employed a quantitative cross-sectional approach involving 108 female students aged 18 to 20 from RIDU who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study analyzed the relationship between BFP (measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis, or BIA) and independent variables such as age, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC). Pearson correlation tests and multivariate linear regression were used to create the prediction model. Findings showed an average BFP of 28.303% ± 6.37%. BMI had the strongest correlation with BFP (r = 0.722). The resulting predictive model is BFP = -94.055 + 39.064*WC + 1.073*age + 1.420*BMI, with an adjusted R square value of 0.535, indicating the model’s explanatory power. This study showed the first to predict BFP in female RIDU cadets. Age, BMI, and WC were predictors of BFP among female RIDU cadets.

Abstract

Background : Oxidative stress is an imbalance between pro-oxidants and endogenous antioxidants resulting in cell damage and degenerative diseases. As horticultural commodities, apples have superior varieties of Manalagi and Romebeauty. Apples contain exogenous antioxidants, namely quercetin that effectively contributes to the management of oxidative stress. Purpose : The study used laboratory experimental methods to determine differences in quercetin content in fresh apples and apple extracts of Manalagi and Romebeauty. Research methodology : Determination of quercetin content of fresh apples and apple extract used the High Performance Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC) method. The samples used were fresh apples and apple viscous extract of Manalagi and Romebeauty obtained respectively from UPT Medika Material Laboratory of Batu City and Food Engineering Laboratory of Soegijapranata Catholic University Semarang using maceration process with ethanol solvent.Findings : The results showed that the average levels of quercetin in fresh apples of Manalagi and Romebeauty varieties were 13,685 ppm and 15,544 ppm respectively. Extraction of 70% ethanol from 100 grams of Manalagi and Romebeaty varieties resulted in 38.123 grams and 52.699 grams of thick extract. The average levels of quercetin in Manalagi and Romebeauty extracts were 422.235 ppm and 243.454 ppm. It can be concluded that the extract can optimize the quercetin content. Research limitations : The quercetin content in local apple extracts of Manalagi and Romebeauty can be used as an alternative to antioxidant therapy due to oxidative stress. Originality/value : Analyzing differences in quercetin content in fresh apples and apple extracts.

Abstract

The placement of body towels before and after use in bathrooms where Serratia marcescens proliferates calls for concern, as Serratia marcescens, an airborne opportunistic pathogen has been reported keratinolytic.  Serratia marcescens, a bacterium commonly noticed with a pink or red slimy appearance in toilet sinks, bowls, and tiles presents an aesthetically, unappealing and disgusting appearance in the toilet surroundings. The study aimed to trace the presence of Serratia marcescens on frequently used body towels hung in the bathroom doors. Swabs from forty (40) differently used towels were collected from twenty (20) volunteered homes and analyzed using standard microbiological procedures. Microbiological procedures involved inoculating the swab sample on a prepared peptone broth and plating on MacConkey agar media, followed by identification and streak of the recovered isolate onto Congo red agar media for biofilm formation.  Results showed the recovery of Serratia marcescens isolates. The three homes showed a Serratia marcescens count of 3 X 10, 1 X 102, and 7 X 10 CFU per swab for house units C, I, and P respectively.  Serratia marcescens could form a biofilm, a basic feature that allowed it to strive on a body towel. The results derived strongly identified the presence of Serratia marcescens biofilm on body towels hung in the bathrooms. This could have health implications for towel users due to the bacteria's keratolytic properties. Hence, the need for constant surveillance to support effective measures of hygiene, aimed at preventing the spread of Serratia marcescens is recommended.

Abstract

Healthcare challenges for indigenous communities are one of the burning issues in Bangladesh and many other countries. Dishonor for indigenous communities and discrimination against them put them under challenges that affect their daily lives and extend to their healthcare. Since indigenous communities are a significant part of the overall population, their healthcare disparities raise questions about the country’s development. A real development of a country is not possible with a significant part excluded, and it may affect the country’s achieving the SDGs. However, existing literature lacks discussion on this special issue, so information regarding indigenous communities’ healthcare challenges and adaptive strategies is not available. Applying qualitative research methodology, this research found that Santals, a major indigenous community in Bangladesh, are excluded from healthcare because of the negligence and disrespectful attitudes of people in the Bengali community and the decline of medical plants and forest-like settings, which leads Santals to adopt different strategies in ensuring healthcare. This research also shows that Santals are taking allopathic medicines from village doctors, buying allopathic medicines without consulting with doctors, taking homeopathic medicines, taking traditional medicine plants by planting them in their homesteads, and buying medicines from street hawkers.

Abstract

With the high rate of unintended pregnancy in the world, encouraging the use of contraceptives has become necessary. However, some factors may influence whether a woman agrees to utilize contraceptives or not. This paper examines the impact of individual factors, sociocultural factors, and health system factors on the utilization of contraceptives in Ussa Local Government Area of Taraba State, Nigeria. Through a literature-based analysis and the application of rational choice theory, the findings highlight the complex interplay of these factors in shaping contraceptive utilization patterns in Ussa Local Government Area. Individual hurdles to uptake were identified as a lack of information about contraception, socioeconomic status, misconceptions, and unfavorable attitudes. Individuals' decision-making processes are influenced by sociocultural variables such as religion and cultural traditions that oppose contraception. Furthermore, a lack of contraceptive availability, a shortage of skilled healthcare practitioners, and a weaker healthcare infrastructure all restrict access to and utilization of contraceptive therapies. The paper recommended that focused interventions should address these various challenges to boost contraceptive usage in Ussa LGA. Individuals, communities, and religious leaders should be targeted for education and awareness efforts to debunk misunderstandings, enhance knowledge, and encourage favorable attitudes regarding contraception. Engaging community leaders and religious organizations in family planning advocacy can assist transform sociocultural norms in favour of family planning. Improving the availability, price, and quality of contraception, as well as training healthcare practitioners, will be crucial for boosting the utilization of contraceptives.
