The Association between Frequency of Antenatal Care Visit and Anemia in Pregnant Women in Pegadungan IV Community Health Center, West Jakarta
Background: According to the Ministry of Family Health, as many as 40% of maternal deaths are caused by bleeding. The risk of bleeding will be greater if pregnant women experience anemia. Basic Health Research in 2013 showed that the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women was 37.1%. The number of pregnant women with anemia at Pegadungan IV community health center, Kalideres, West Jakarta in 2016 was 57.3%.The magnitude of this number may influence by maternal Antenatal Care (ANC) visit during pregnancy. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the frequency of ANC visits and anemia in pregnant women.
Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study. The study was conducted at Pegadungan community health center, West Jakarta. A sample of 90 pregnant women in third semester was selected for this study. The dependent was anemia. The independent variables were antenatal care visit. The confounding factor included age, parity, education, employment status, and family income. The data were collected by questionnaire and maternal and child book monitor. The data were analyzed by a logistic regression.
Results: After controlling for the confounding factors, the risk of anemia in pregnant women increased with ANC visit <4 times (OR= 1.97; 95% CI= 1.34 to 2.89; p= 0.001).
Conclusion: After controlling for the confounding factors, the risk of anemia in pregnant women increases with ANC visit <4 times.

Pengaruh Pemberian Ekstrak Tinta Cumi (Squid Ink) Terhadap Aterosklerosis
Squid ink consists of DHI, DHICA, and 2-carboxyl indole that improve lipid profile and remove foam cells in blood vessel walls. This study was aimed to analyze the effect of squid ink on atherosclerosis-induced Wistar rats. This was an experimental study. We used randomized controlled trial with pre-post test design for lipid profile assessment and randomized post-test only control design for blood vessel evaluation (foam cells in layers of coronary artery). Samples were 27 Wistar rats, divided into three groups; all were atherosclerosis-induced with initial injection of 0.006mg iv adrenalin on day 1, followed by standard diet and egg yolk until day 30. Squid ink extract was given to group P1 and P2 on days 15-30 in different doses, but not to control group. Data were analyzed by using Saphiro-Wilk test and paired t-test. The results showed that P2 group had decreased means of total cholesterol (-33.62 mg/dl), triglyceride (-28.00 mg/dl), and LDL cholesterol (-28.16 mg/dl), but an increased mean of HDL cholesterol (11.60 mg/dl). There were decreased numbers of foam cells in the layers of coronary arteries of P1 and P2 group compared to the control group. Conclusion: Squid ink extract could lower total cholesterol, triglyceride, and LDL cholesterol levels, and increase HDL cholesterol level. Moreover, it could remove foam cells from the layers of coronary arteries.Keywords: squid ink, atherosclerosis, lipid profile, foam cells Asbtrak: Tinta cumi memiliki kandungan DHI, DHICA, dan 2-carboxyl indole yang dapat memperbaiki profil lipid dan mengurangi sel busa pembuluh darah.

Locally-Minimal Probabilistic Explanations
Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is widely regarding as a
cornerstone of trustworthy AI. Unfortunately, most work on XAI offers no
guarantees of rigor. In high-stakes domains, e.g. uses of AI that impact
humans, the lack of rigor of explanations can have disastrous consequences.
Formal abductive explanations offer crucial guarantees of rigor and so are of
interest in high-stakes uses of machine learning (ML). One drawback of
abductive explanations is explanation size, justified by the cognitive limits
of human decision-makers. Probabilistic abductive explanations (PAXps) address
this limitation, but their theoretical and practical complexity makes their
exact computation most often unrealistic. This paper proposes novel efficient
algorithms for the computation of locally-minimal PXAps, which offer
high-quality approximations of PXAps in practice. The experimental results
demonstrate the practical efficiency of the proposed algorithms

Abstract
Fly density is an indic ator of low sanitation conditions, which can lead to a decrease in environmental quality. One effort to maintain environmental sanitation is to pay attention to the sanitary conditions of livestock pens so that they do not cause disease through vectors or flies. Based on data from the Jambi Province Livestock Service, the cattle population in 2021 increased by 160,261 and according to BPS data there were 46,379 cases of diarrhea in Jambi Province in 2020. This research aims to determine the relationship between livestock pen sanitation, knowledge with the incidence of fly density in Senaung Village, Jambi Luar District. Muaro Jambi Regency City in 2023. This research is a quantitative research with a cross sectional design. Sampling used a total sampling technique with a total sample of 35 families who had livestock pens. Data processing was carried out univariately and bivariately using the SPSS chi-square test. From the results of the analysis, there is a relationship between livestock pen sanitation (P-value=0.032), knowledge (P-value=0.004), and fly density in Senaung Village, Jambi Luar Kota District, Muaro Jambi Regency.Sanitary factors in livestock pens and knowledge are closely related to fly density. Efforts to improve livestock pen sanitation and knowledge in socializing and educating the public regarding environmental health, including about pen sanitation so as not to cause disease problems carried by flies to humans.

Effectiveness of the BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) Vaccine in Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Efforts to control the COVID-19 pandemic have expanded to the vaccination of children and
adolescents. This systematic review assesses the utility of the BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) vaccine
in children and adolescents aged 5–18 years, considering its effectiveness against COVID infection,
hospital and intensive care admission and duration of effectiveness after vaccination. Six databases
were searched following the PRISMA guidelines. Pooled estimates and 95% confidence intervals
(CIs) were calculated using meta-analysis. Fifteen studies were included in the systematic review,
while 12 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Evidence suggests that the two-dose vaccination
regime provided high effectiveness of 92% (95% CI, 86–96) against COVID infection. Vaccination
also conferred high protection against hospitalisation (91%) and intensive care admission (85%). The
vaccine was highly protective against the Delta variant of the virus, but showed a lower protection
against the Omicron variant. Most adverse effects were transient and mild, commonly including pain
at the injection site, fatigue and headache. Current findings are suggestive of waning immunity over
time; however, further research is needed to investigate the relevance of booster doses in this age
group. In summary, the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 vaccine demonstrated high levels of protection
against COVID-19 infection and its complications while maintaining an adequate safety profile in
children and adolescents
