HUBUNGAN ANTARA STATUS GIZI DAN KEJADIAN TUBERCULOSIS PARU PADA ANAK BATITA USIA 6 - 36 BULAN

Tuberculosis merupakan penyakit menular yang disebabkan oleh Mycrobacterium tuberculosis, penyakit bisa menyerang anak dengan imunitas yang rendah, salah satu TB masih menjadi ancaman global bagi kesehatan dunia. WHO 2018 penyebab turunnya imunitas itu karena status gizi yang buruk. Kejadian memperkirakan terdapat 10 juta kasus TB di seluruh dunia, diantaranya terdiri dari 5,7 juta kasus pria, 3,2 juta kasus wanita dan 1,1 juta kasus anak-anak (WHO, 2019).Salah satu penyebab TB anak adalah status gizi.Status gizi yang buruk membuat imunitas anak rentan sehingga dapat terserang TB paru. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk megetahui hubungan status gizi dengan kejadian TB paru pada anak. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode purposive serta bersedia melakukan skrining dan uji laboratorium. Hasil uji korelasi dengan metode Chi square pada variabel status gizi terhadap kejadian paru pada batita menunjukkan hasil p -value > 0,05 tidak terdapat hubungan status gizi terhadap kejadian TB paru pada anak            di         Wilayah           Ring    1          Pt.        Petrokimia       Gresi

“PENGGUNAAN APLIKASI TIK TOK SEBAGAI MEDIA PROMOSI ONLINE SHOP” (Studi Pada Akun @Zaco.id )

Social media is an online network that can be accessed via advanced technology such as cellphones or smartphones which are now widely used to search for information. One of the social media that is growing rapidly and is very influential at the moment is Instagram and TikTok. Tiktok is a music video platform where users can create, edit and share with the public. With the increasing development of this application, many users are using it to promote an online shop. One of the online shops that uses this platform is @Zaco.id. The aim of this research is that researchers can find out and identify the use of the TikTok application as a promotional medium for the online shop @Zaco.id. In this research, researchers used qualitative research methods. This type of research uses a qualitative descriptive approach, namely by describing and analyzing the problems found. From the results of research carried out by researchers, it can be concluded that the online shop account @Zaco.id has made good use of TikTok, seen from the various promotional activities that have been carried out which have been carried out and have taken advantage of the various features that are available

Retrospective Analysis Of Marine Biological Data From Port Valdez, Alaska: A Case Study In Long -Term Monitoring

Thesis (Ph.D.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2006Efforts to understand anthropogenic effects within the Port Valdez study area provide a simple and adaptive model for developing and refining hypotheses to measure the structure of and detect, change in nearshore and benthic habitats. Drivers of change detected by this study are the 1964 Prince William Sound earthquake and the oil transportation and salmon aquaculture industries within the fjord. The study area is a glacial-outwash fjord characterized by strong seasonal and spatial environmental gradients due to glacial influences including seasonally low salinity, high suspended sediment loads, and subsequent high sedimentation rates. Direct and indirect effects from intolerance to low salinity are important in organizing intertidal communities as is habitat structure. Previously unrecognized subtle effects on subtidal fauna from anthropogenic stressors near the marine oil terminal in Port Valdez are identified. Demonstration of statistical methods (variogram estimation, repeated measures analysis of variance, and geostatistical modeling) for field studies with spatially and temporally correlated data should be useful to others seeking to establish new long-term studies or analyze previously collected, long-term field data. Investigation of the re-adjustment of benthic fauna from a large earthquake and ecosystem-level effects of salmon aquaculture are not readily available and this dissertation provides a reference point for any such future studies. Although re-adjustment from the large earthquake was a key process during the study period, salmon aquaculture appears to have a strong effect on the benthic ecosystem. The model of detecting change is simple and adaptive and provides inputs for larger models and scientific investigations in marine ecosystems. Broad questions are developed through a long-term study of an ecosystem. The hypotheses formulated are then evaluated and refined through retrospective analysis of long-term data and results can be used to refine larger models. This dissertation contributes rigorous, statistically bounded biological time series to regional monitoring programs by providing small-scale, ecological information necessary for larger models. As a result, the information provided in this dissertation should increase the accuracy of ecological models and aid in the management of marine resources

Assessing English Learners in Various Ways

This study aimed to know the implementation of a new test design given by the lecturer in English for Media class and to find out the perceived impacts by the students related to the tests given. A new way mentioned here is a lecturer gives freedom to the students to choose their own material to be presented or practice in the final test. The writer found that, this new way is success in reducing the students’ tensions in facing the final test; it could be seen from the process and the results of the test that are quite good. Moreover, in the process of the test, all students are excited in selecting and preparing materials to be presented in the test. Moreover, based on the results of direct observation and interviews to the students, the writer concluded that the implementation of this test creates a good atmosphere; fun and the tension level of students are also lighter. This brings a positive impact on the students, where the results obtained by the students in this test were also better than the previous test.
