Abstract

Cardiac arrest is one of the highest causes of death in the world. This condition requires the handling of cardiac arrest based on the chain of survival concept. The chain of survival concept is carried out by nurses who have sufficient skills to handle cardiac arrest. Skills can be obtained either through education and training based on simulation or using technology such as self-directed videos. The purpose of this study was to identify the differences in self-direct video and simulations of nurse skills in advanced cardiac life support. This study used Quasi-Experimental Design by pretest-posttest with a control group approach. The 42 respondents were divided into two groups. Skills are measured before and after learning with each method. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon and Mann-whitney tests. The results showed changes in skills before and after learning in the two methods, with each p-value = 0.000. There were no differences in skills changes before and after learning in both groups with a p-value = 0.437. Learning using self-directed videos and simulations can improve nurse skills in carrying out advanced cardiac life support.

Abstract

The family has an important role in elderly care at home, where the majority of assistance and long-term care for the elderly is provided by the family. The nurse is responsible for assisting the family in caring for the elderly, so that in the end the family is able to provide elderly care independently at home. This study aims to explore family experiences in caring for the elderly at home. Researchers used qualitative research methods with a phenomenological approach. Data obtained through semi-structured interviews with 6 (six) participants. The research produced 5 themes: care for the elderly is a form of devotion to parents, care for the elderly requires physical and mental readiness, care for the elderly requires knowledge related to the elderly and how to care for the elderly, care for the elderly requires support from extended families, and feel the importance of supporting cadres and health workers. For conclusion, elderly families have a responsibility to meet the needs of the elderly, so that efforts are needed to improve the knowledge and skills of the family in order to properly care for and meet the needs of the elderly.

Abstract

Nemacheilus fasciatus is an Indonesian freshwater fish species that can be found in river waters on Java. This fish has a morphological similarity between species. This study aims to identify species of samples found and know their genetic kinship. This study used the Cytochrome Oxidase subunit I (COI) gene as a molecular marker, and then the results were analyzed using MEGA X software. The genetic structure and phylogeny of N. fasciatus sequences were combined with outgroup species from GenBank and analyzed using Maximum Likehood (ML), Pairwise Genetic Distance and Bootstrapping Phylogeny Model of Kimura 2 Parameters. The results showed that the primary pairs of LCO1490 and HCO2198 used to amplify the sample N. fasciatus with COI as a marker. The nucleotide frequencies of these loaches are A=26.5%, T=23.8%, C=19.9% and G=29.9%. The estimated Transition/Transversion bias (R) is 0.60. The number of haplotype diversity (Hd) was 0.972, and nucleotide (Pi) diversity was 0.05115. The kinship of N. fasciatus compared to the outgroup is closer to N. pallidus than N. chrysolaimos. Research needs to be conducted with a larger sample size for the genetic diversity of N. fasciatus in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the density of seagrass species, seagrass biomass, and threats faced by seagrass communities in the Coastal District of Lamongan. The study was conducted in August to November 2019 in three coastal villages of Lamongan Regency, namely Tunggul Village (Station 1), Kranji (Station 2), and Banjarwati (Station 3). The stages of the study consisted of: preparation, data collection on density, threat data and seagrass stand samples, sample processing, and data analysis. The results showed that the total density of seagrass species at Stations 1, 2 and 3 was 160 stands / m2; 172 stands / m2; and 185 stands / m2. Furthermore, the total biomass of seagrass at Stations 1, 2 and 3 was 4633 gbk / m2, 2136 gbk / m2, and 9234 gbk / m2. In addition to seagrass species, seagrass density values also affect seagrass biomass. As development progresses in Lamongan Regency, it is known that the biggest threat of seagrass communities in the study site is human activity (anthropogenic), among others: anchor ships when anchored and the use of coastal areas as tourist areas, which often cleans up seagrass communities because they are deemed unfit to be enjoyed tourism sector.

Abstract

Parkinson's disease characterized by a decrease in motor activity is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. Centella asiatica is suspected of having a neuroprotectant effect and is not yet known how Centella asiatica role in the prevention of Parkinson's disease. The study was conducted to prove the effect of Centella asiatica extract on the expression of Hsp60 and locomotor activity zebrafish models of Parkinson's with rotenone exposure. The study was conducted using 25 zebrafish divided into various groups. Centella asiatica extract and rotenone exposure have given for 28 days, observed locomotor activity on days 0, 7, 14, 21 and 28. The expression of Hsp60 measured using immunohistochemical techniques. There is a significant difference between locomotor activity at various doses of Centella asiatica (p<0.05) with a very strong correlation (r=0.929; p<0.01) where the higher doses of Centella asiatica, the higher locomotor activity. Found a significant difference between the reduced expression of Hsp60 to various Centella asiatica dose group (p<0.05) but no correlation between the expression of Hsp60 with Centella asiatica dose groups and locomotor activity. Centella asiatica extract is able to increase locomotor activity and decrease the expression of Hsp60 in zebrafish models of Parkinson's.

Abstract

Red glutinous rice is native from Pacitan and is still limited to local region consumption. The color of the rice flour showed that it has bioactive content, which is the potential to wider the use. The effect of pregelatinization using heat and moisture treatment by boiling on physicochemical (starch, amylose, anthocyanin, gel consistency, Lab color, SEM figure) and pasting properties of red glutinous rice flour was determined. The time and temperature of pregelatinization were 5, 10, and 15 minutes and 50°C, 60°C, and 60°C. The experiment was done with a completely randomized design with three replications. Starch content range to 62-77%, amylose content 3.29-5.75%, anthocyanin 2.64-6.71 mg/100g, Moisture 6.16-7.45, L 72.5-73.95, redness 5.11-6.00, yellowness 8.87-9.62, and gel consistency 9.7-12 cm. the increase of time and temperature of pregelatinization lead to decrease of amylose, starch, and anthocyanin content, and viscosity. After pregelatinization, the setback viscosity was lower it means that the rate of retrogradation is lower than native starch. SEM figure also showed that pregelatinization using heat and moisture treatment did not destroy the starch granules.
