Abstract

Garbage and flooding are environmental problems that need attention. One solution to dealing with organic waste and flooding is the creation of biopore absorption holes (LRB). Organic waste can be processed into compost with the help of soil animals such as Collembola. The number of soil animals (Collembola) in the biopore hole is influenced by the type of waste used to fill the hole. The aim of this research was to determine the abundance of Collembola in LRBs containing organic waste and animal waste. Used 9 LRBs made from perforated pralon material.  LRB group A which contains organic waste only (3 LRB), LRB B which contains organic waste and cow dung (3 LRB) and LRB C which contains organic waste and goat dung (3 LRB). The results of this research show that the LRB composting process has occurred with the help of Collembola. Four types of Collembola were found that were active in biopore infiltration holes (LRB), namely Pseudosinella sp, Ceocobrya sp, Cyphoderus sp and Isotoma sp. There were differences in the abundance of Collembola in LRB sets containing organic waste and animal waste. The Diversity Index value H' < 1, indicates that species diversity is low.

Abstract

Advances in medical science has lead to increase in life expectancy of human beings all over the world. Deterioration of physiological functions is typically associated with ageing process.This often manifests as various diseases which eventually creates a burden on health infrastructure.Telomere attrition is a phenomenon which involves shortening of telomeres with each cycle of cell division.The phenomenon of “Telomere Attrition” is a “Bi edged sword” as while being a protective shield for the genome on one hand, it also is the cause of many senility related degenerative disorders. As the role of telomere biology is well established in ageing,current research therefore aims to develop means to reduce telomere attrition,thereby reducing ageing & age related diseases.This review will focus on summarising the role of telomere biology in ageing & age related diseases while highlighting the recent advances in research aiming towards enhanced longevity & healthy ageing.This review will further emphasize on telomere targetted therapeutics such as telomerase activators & tankyrase inhibitors while also highlighting the role of antioxidative & antiinflammatory agents alongwith indirectly related approaches such as statins.

Abstract

The postpartum period is a process that begins after the placenta separates and ends when the uterus returns to its pre-pregnancy state. At that time, the nutritional needs of postpartum mothers increased from before, because they were needed to prepare for breastfeeding and help speed up the recovery process so that family support to accompany postpartum mothers in consuming nutritious food was needed. This study aims to determine the relationship between family support and postpartum mother's eating culture. This study used a correlational descriptive design with a cross sectional approach. The population of this study were all postpartum mothers 0-42 days who were in the working area of ​​the Muncan Health Center in the period from July to August 2021 as many as 76 people. The sampling technique used was total sampling where all postpartum mothers who became the population sampled were 76 people. The instrument used is a questionnaire and the analysis used is the Chi square test. Most postpartum mothers did not get family support, especially instrumental support and informational support, causing most postpartum mothers to practice a culture of abstinence from eating, namely not consuming healthy food recommended by health workers. The p value = 0.018 < 0.05 (α = 0.05), it means that there is a relationship between family support and postpartum mother's eating culture. Family support in assisting postpartum mothers to consume nutritious food has been proven to have a strong influence on the postpartum mother's recovery process. Health workers must be more active in providing continuous health education to the families of postpartum mothers to improve the culture of eating that is not appropriate.

Abstract

Blood glucose level examination until now often cannot be done immediately after the sample is taken. Glycolysis in the blood can occur in vitro, thus affecting the examination results. The addition of anticoagulants such as NaF aims to inhibit the in vitro glycolysis process. Several studies have described the effects of anticoagulants in maintaining blood sugar levels in examination samples. However, the results presented still have some differences. This study aims to determine the difference in blood glucose levels using serum and plasma NaF in hyperglycemia samples with a delay of 30 minutes and 1 hour. The type of research used in this study is analytical observational with a cross-sectional approach that is a comparative study. The population in this study were all outpatients at the Muhammadiyah Hospital in Surabaya. This study was conducted at the Muhammadiyah Hospital Laboratory in Surabaya, during the study in March-April 2024. The results of this study obtained blood glucose levels using either serum or NaF plasma in hyperglycemic and non hyperglycemic samples examined with a delay of 30 minutes and 1 hour. The Greenhouse-Geisser Sig value was 0.000 (<0.05) which means there is a real (significant) difference

Abstract

The growth and development of teeth in preschool children is influenced by various factors, including biological aspects and the type of food consumed, both of which are crucial for overall child development. This study aimed to analyze these influences on 69 preschool children examined at Jemursari Islamic Hospital Surabaya between January and December 2024, using a descriptive approach with an observational method. Data collection involved questionnaires filled out by parents regarding diet, health history, and biological factors, while dental examinations were conducted by dentists to assess dental health. The findings indicated a significant relationship between food consumption and children's dental health, where those who frequently consumed sugary foods had a higher risk of dental caries. Additionally, biological factors such as the mother's health history during pregnancy also played a role in determining a child’s dental condition. Given these findings, it is essential for parents to recognize the importance of biological factors and diet in supporting optimal dental growth and development. A balanced diet and proper dental care are necessary to prevent future dental issues. However, this study was limited to a single location with a sample of 69 children and did not consider broader environmental factors. The results highlight the need to enhance parental awareness regarding children's nutrition and dental health, emphasizing the importance of educational programs on healthy eating habits and oral hygiene, especially for parents of preschool children.
