Comparing the Efficacy of Ketogenic Diet with Low-Fat Diet for Weight Loss in Obesity Patients: Evidenc-Based Case Report

Introduction Obesity is a nutritional disease which is still a health burden particularly in Jakarta. The main treatment for obesity is nutritional intervention. Nowadays, several dietary approaches have been developed, including ketogenic diet, which is still controversial. Methods Literature search had been done within 4 databases including PubMed®, Cochrane®, Google® Scholar, and Science Direct®, using keywords: obesity, ketogenic diet, low-fat diet, and weight loss. Then, Medical Sub Heading (MeSH) was used. The search resulted in two articles which were appraised according to aspects of validity, importance, and applicability Results A randomized-controlled trial study showed similar effect of weight loss with ketogenic diet compared to low-fat diet. On the other hand, a meta-analysis study showed ketogenic diet caused more weight loss than low-fat diet. Both studies showed an increased risk of cardiovascular disease from the ketogenic diet group, which were shown by a decrease of flow-mediated dilatation and an increase of LDL-C. Conclusion Ketogenic diet shows a better long-term effect for weight loss in obese patients than low-fat diet. However, ketogenic diet may increase the cardiovascular event risk significantly

EVALUASI METODOLOGI DESAIN DALAM SIMULASI PERANCANGAN ULANG SISTEM TANDA UNTUK PENGGUNA TRANSPORTASI UMUM

A design methodology is an important aspect of design. In hopes to develop the design methodology’s pedagogy in the Visual Communication Design Department of Universitas Pelita Harapan (VCD UPH), the author conducted a classroom action research to evaluate results of design methodology analysis of final assignment projects in VCD UPH. The project that is featured in this article is a signage system redesign for Transjakarta by Triska, in which several students in the Design Methodology class evaluate the methodology. For the evaluation, Triska’s methodology is framed by the design process model of Robin Landa. The result of the evaluation shows several points that can be added from Triska’s methodology to make it better. From the study, it is shown that design methodology learning can be conducted through analysis and evaluation of a design methodology of a design project. The learning method is possible to be implemented for the bachelor level of design programs. Though the pedagogy demonstrated in this article is still in its preliminary phase, it can later be further developed after more studies and the second cycle of research had been done by the author

ANALISA FORM, KONTEN & KONTEKS PADA PETA KERETA BAWAH TANAH NEW YORK CITY (1972) KARYA MASSIMO VIGNELLI

Menganalisa sebuah desain merupakan sebuah tantangan tersendiri ketika dilakukan tanpa adanya kerangka analisa yang dapat membantu kegiatan analisa tersebut. Dengan mengadopsi kacamata analisa form, konten, dan konteks yang umumnya ditemukan dalam karya seni, penulis melakukan analisa terhadap desain peta kereta bawah tanah New York City yang dirancang oleh Massimo Vignelli pada tahun 1972. Dengan menganalisa konteks yang melatari pembuatan peta tersebut dan menganalisa elemen-elemen desain grafis didalam peta tersebut, penulis dapat memperolah sebuah kesimpulan yang konklusif. Dengan analisa terhadap peta karya Vignelli tersebut, penulis menyimpulkan bagaimana pengaruh desain modern tidak terlihat dalam tatanan visual saja, seperti pemilihan typeface ataupun penggunaan grid semata, namun juga paradigma rasional dan pendekatan minimalistik dalam peta tersebut. Melalui tulisan ini, penulis berharap dapat menunjukkan bagaimana metode analisa menggunakan form, konten dan konteks dilakukan dalam membahas sebuah karya desain grafi
