Efektivitas Pembinaan dan Pelatihan Gelandangan dan Pengemis oleh Dinas Sosial dan Pemakaman Kota Pekanbaru

The Effectivity of Homeless and Beggars Founding and Training Implemented by the Social and Cemetery Departement of Pekanbaru City. . And the purpose of this research are to know the effectivity of the founding and training of homeless and beggars by the Departement of Social and Cemetery of Pekanbaru and factors concerning the halt of progress of the founding and training. This research using the method of qualitative descriptive and data collection technique by the way of observation, interview, and library research obtained by research informant that has been predetermined based on snowball sampling technique. Based on research result that has been done based on the concept and theory researcher found out that the homeless and beggars founding and training provided by Pekanbarus Department of Social and Cemetery is not yet effective. This can be seen by the many homeless and beggars still lurking in PekanbaruKeywords: Effectivity, Founding And Training, Source Approach, Process Approach, Targeted Approac

Effects of acute exercise on liver function and blood redox status in heavy drinkers

Excessive alcohol consumption can induce oxidative stress, resulting in the development of several diseases. Exercise has been reported to prevent and/or improve a number of health issues through several mechanisms, including an improvement in redox status. It has also been previously suggested that exercise can help individuals with alcohol use disorders reduce their alcohol intake; however, research in this field is limited. The aim of the present study was to investigage the effects of acute exercise of moderate intensity on the liver function and blood redox status in heavy drinkers. For this purpose, a total of 17 heavy drinkers [age, 31.6±3.2 years; body mass index (BMI), 27.4±0.8 kg/m2; experimental group (EG)] and 17 controls [age, 33.5±1.3 years; BMI, 26.1±1.4 kg/m2; control group (CG), who did not exceed moderate alcohol consumption], underwent one trial of acute exercise of moderate intensity (50-60% of the heart rate reserve) for 30 min on a cycle ergometer, following an overnight fast, and abstaining from smoking and alcohol consumption. Blood samples were obtained before and immediately after exercise for later determination of the indices of liver function and blood redox status. The subjects in the EG had significantly higher (p<0.05) baseline γ-glutamyl transferase (γ-GT) levels compared to the subjects in the CG. Exercise thus resulted in significantly higher γ-GT levels (p<0.005) only in the EG. No significant differences in aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) baseline levels were observed between the 2 groups. Following exercise, the AST levels increased significantly (p<0.001) in both groups, whereas the ALT levels increased significantly (p<0.01) only in the EG. The baseline glutathione (GSH) levels were significantly lower (p<0.05) and remained low following exercise in the EG. In addition, we observed a trend for higher (p=0.07) baseline levels of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), which remained elevated post-exercise in the EG compared to the CG. Significantly increased post-exercise total antioxidant capacity (TAC; p<0.01) and uric acid (UA; p<0.05) levels were noted in the CG, whereas the TAC (p=0.06) and UA (p=0.08) levels increased and approached significance post-exercise in the EG. No significant differences in the baseline levels of total bilirubin and protein carbonyl were observed between the 2 groups, even post-exercise. Thus, the findings of the present study indicate that even though heavy drinkers may be prone to oxidative stress, their exercise-induced antioxidant response is similar to that of individuals who do not drink heavily.Interna
