Survey Empiris Terapi Komplementer Pada Ibu Hamil : Mixed Methods Study

Background: Pregnancy is a period that starts from the process of conception (conception) until before the fetus is born and is a physiological state. Improper handling of pregnant women is caused by less or even no ANC treatment during pregnancy. Many efforts can be made by pregnant women to overcome various complaints during pregnancy, one of which is complementary therapy or traditional medicine passed down from the family and culture of the local community. This study aims to conduct an empirical survey of complementary therapies for pregnant women in the work area of Muara Tembesi Health Center. Methods: This type of research is Mixed methods with an Exploratory design which was carried out in November 2023 with the population of all pregnant women and the local community. This sampling uses purposive sampling techniques with quantitative samples of 50 respondents and qualitative 16 informants. The instruments used are interview protocols and questionnaires. Qualitative data analysis using the Miles & Huberman model and univariate quantitative data analysis. Results: The research results show that the common complaints of pregnant women are nausea, vomiting, fatigue, dizziness, heartburn, emotional disturbances, aches or pain in the legs, back and waist and leg edema. Meanwhile, the complements used by pregnant women are adjusted to the type of complaints experienced, including consumption of boiled ginger water (78%), lemongrass infusion (34%), betel infusion (8%), half-cooked free-range chicken eggs (60%), fruit and vegetables ( 56%), and massage therapy (52%). Conclusion: It is expected that pregnant women can apply complementary therapies in health services in the form of integrative services

Next generation sequencing: Challenges for science and society

Next Generation Sequencing führte zu großen Erkenntnisgewinnen in den molekularen Biowissenschaften. Die neue Technologie liefert allerdings Daten, die Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft vor neue Herausforderungen stellen. Es bilden sich neue Forschungsfelder heraus und Fragen von Identität werden zunehmend anhand von genetischen Analysen verhandelt.Next Generation Sequencing led to major knowledge gains in the molecular life sciences. But the new technology provides data that pose new challenges to both science and society. New fields of research are emerging and questions of identity on the basis of genetic analyses are being negotiated

New sequencing methods: New data and new challenges

Die Sequenzierung von DNA gehört heute zum Standardrepertoire der biologischen und medizinischen Forschung. Das um die Mitte der 2000er Jahre etablierte Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) war der wichtigste Auslöser für diese Entwicklung. NGS führte zu großen Erkenntnisgewinnen in den molekularen Biowissenschaften. Die neue Technologie liefert allerdings Daten, die Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft vor neue Herausforderungen stellen. Schon jetzt lässt sich in diesem Feld eine technikgetriebene Eigendynamik feststellen, die zu Transformationsprozessen in der Wissenschaft führt, wo sich neue Forschungsfelder herausbilden, aber auch in der Gesellschaft, in der Fragen von Identität zunehmend anhand von genetischen Analysen verhandelt werden.Today, DNA sequencing is part of the standard repertoire of biological and medical research. Next generation sequencing (NGS), established around the mid-2000s, was the main catalyst for this development. NGS has led to major knowledge gains in the molecular life sciences. However, the new technology provides data that pose new challenges that both science and society still must learn to deal with. A technology-driven dynamic can already be observed in this field, leading to transformation processes in science, where new fields of research are emerging, but also in society, where questions of identity are increasingly being negotiated based on genetic analyses

Teaching Anthropology: Remarks from a German Perspective

The Bologna Process opened a new chapter in the German higher education system, starting in 1999. Many new degree programmes have been implemented since then. It is nearly impossible to obtain an overview of the content of the more than 20,000 individual programmes thus far. Twenty-five years ago, this diverse offer of degree programmes would have been unthinkable. At that time, students specialized in Archaeology, German Studies, or Musicology; today, universities offer these subjects within such hybrid degree programmes as ‘Comparative Studies in Culture and Reli-gion’, ‘Health and Society in South Asia’, or ‘Literary and Cultural Theory’. However, not only degree programmes di-versify increasingly. The groups of students attending the courses have also continuously become more heterogeneous. Future archaeologists sit next to students of Transcultural Studies, and students of the teaching degree programme sit next to students of Global History. This raises such questions as ‘What does anthropology stand for?’, ‘How is anthro-pology conceptualized today?’, and ‘What does “teaching anthropology” mean?’.The paper will touch on these questions and give an idea of my understanding of ‘teaching anthropology’, which is closely linked to my own academic biography. Consequently, this contribution is more of an essay-like attempt to prompt a discussion on today’s teaching of anthropology

Aesthetics and/as Public History: Entanglements

Artistic-aesthetic forms of expression and history in the public sphere are interlinked in more or less obvious ways. In historical cultures, a specific approach to these networks of relationships is still dominant, one that – retrospectively – examines existing material representations in search of historical evidence. But the manifold entanglements can be analysed more precisely if, e.g., the focus is shifted to perspectives of the artists involved

Paretian Intergenerational Discounting

This paper argues that discounting costs and benefits of projects for the opportunity costs of capital Pareto dominates decision criteria that do not discount. It considers and rejects several objections to the Pareto dominance argument, including the problem of making compensating transfers for the costs and benefits of projects and whether taking opportunity costs into account is different than discounting. It also argues that discounting future costs and benefits of projects does not undervalue future generations

STUDI KANDUNGAN PROTEIN DAN MINERAL FOSFOR PADA PRODUKSI KERUPUK TERI (Stolephorus sp)

Telah dilakukan penambahan tepung teri (Stolephorus sp) yang kaya akan unsur fosfor dan protein ke dalam produksi kerupuk. Dihasilkan tiga jenis kerupuk dengan perbandingan komposisi massa per 100 gram tepung tapioka : tepung teri 90:10 (KTi), 80:20 (KT2), dan 70:30 (KT3). Ketiga jenis kerupuk dianalisis kandungan protein dan mineral fosfornya sehingga diketahui kandungan protein kerupuk muiai dari yang tertinggi berturut-turut ialah KT3 sebesar 19,22 g, KT2 sebesar 14,77 g, dan KTi 11,87 g, serta kadar mineral fosfor mulai dari yang terbesar ialah 550 mg untuk KT3, 310 mg untuk KT2, dan 300 mg untuk KTi. Kandungan protein dan mineral fosfor dalam kerupuk KT3 lebih besar dibandingkan kerupuk ikan dan udang yang ada di pasaran. Hasil analisis kandungan gizi lain untuk produk kerupuk KTi, KT2, dan KT3 per 100 g secara berturut-turut ialah kadar air sebesar 10,28 g; 7,40 g; dan 6,47 g; kadar abu sebesar 9,41 g; 14,01 g; dan 17,49g; kadar karbohidrat sebesar 45,49 g; 35,46 g; dan 27,11 g; dan kadar lemak sebesar 1,22 g; 2,69 g; dan 3,95 g
