Homesickness was outstandingly observed in females (72.72 %) whereas anxiety was highly reported in males (90.90%). The study findings demonstrated that there is a strong negative correlation between student financial statuses and the development of homesickness (r: -0.977, P: 0.023) and anxiety (r: -0.944, P: 0.056).

<![CDATA[Radiation protection is an action or effort taken to reduce the effects of damaging radiation exposure. Therefore, it is necessary to routinely monitor the condition of workers, among others, with a whole-body counter (WBC) either for daily activities or in a radiation emergency. In this research 78 male and female workers with an average age of 44.51 years old who have been worked for 1 up to more than 30 years at the Center for Technology of Radiation Safety and Metrology (PTKMR) - BATAN in 2018-2019 have been determined with standard procedures. The results showed that the average K-40 count for the year 2018 was 3767.35 ± 975.33 Bq. Among the 80 participants tested, internal radio-isotopic contamination with Cs-137 was detected in one person, but the levels were marginal and just exceeded the detection limit (250 Bq/body). This average value was lower than that of the previous year (2017) i.e. 4274.74 ± 740.85 Bq for 43 respondents. There is no positive correlation between radioactivity with the bodyweight of respondents but correlated positively with body mass index. It is concluded that the radio-activities of the workers of PTKMR are still within a normal range. ]]>

<![CDATA[Lack of knowledge and information on sexual and reproductive health has led to an increase in reproductive health problems, such as sexual violence and abuse, marriage and teenage pregnancy. There are several government programs related to youth health, but only a few young people can use and take advantage of these programs. This study aims to outline the needs and expectations of adolescents in sexual education and reproductive health. The method used is a qualitative method and an in-depth interview was conducted. Use deliberate sampling techniques to determine samples. The interview results showed that all adolescents had heard of adolescent reproductive health (KRR), but they could not fully explain the definition and scope of KRR. The availability of KRR information and services around the residence is still poor, and although there is no regular schedule and incomplete, most are obtained from the school. The services that young people need include youth-friendly counseling, counseling and health checks. The expected facilities are easy-to-use facilities, affordable costs and flexible service hours. Support from policy makers, plan implementers, schools and youth residential communities are needed to provide youth-friendly and easily accessible KRR services.]]>
