The Changes of Behaviors and Cognitive Functions by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in the Drug Abusers

Introduction: This study was aimed to find out the effect of CBT on the behaviors i.e. depressive, agressive and antisocial behaviors as well as cognitive functions of patients who were treated in rehabilitation unit at a drug addiction hospital (Rumah Sakit Ketergantungan Obat) in Jakarta. Method: The research design was Quasi experimental pre-post test without control group by providing intervention: CBT for 6 sessions (10–12 times intervention). The population was all patients in the rehabilitation unit with a nursing diagnosis: low self esteem and/or inffective coping strategies. There were 23 participants who involved in this investigation. The data was analized by using dependent and independent sample t, and anova tests. Result: The results showed that p value for depressive behaviours, agressive behaviurs, antisocial behaviors, and cognitive functions were 0.914; 0.001; 0.039; 0.003 respectively. The outcomes indicated that there was significant impact of CBT on agressive behaviors, antisocial behaviors, and cognitive functions (α = 0.05, p value 0.05). Discussion: It is argued that depressive symptoms might not be apparent for the users in rehabilitative phase. The findings also showed that there was significant relation between antisocial behaviors and the length of drug USAge. This affirms exsiting concepts in that long drug USAge brings about serious damage in the users\u27 behaviors and cognitive functions. It is recommended, therefore, to include CBT as an important intervention for clients with drug abuse problems who are cared in rehabilitation center

An Analysis Used in Belis Tradition in Anakalang, Middle Sumba

Belis tradition is part culture in Sumba and a condition to marriage someone. Many kinds of symbols used on it. Belis tradition is not separated from culture. By of culture, Belis be an own culture that has different process and symbols. Because every culture have different process based on that place.

Protein and Anthocyanin Production of Waterleaf Shoots (Talinum Triangulare (Jacq.) Willd) at Different Levels of Nitrogen+Potassium and Harvest Intervals

The experiment was conducted at IPB Experimental Station, Leuwikopo, Dramaga, Bogor, from November 2009 untilFebruary 2010 to study the effect of different nitrogen+potassium rates and harvest intervals on protein and anthocyaninproduction of waterleaf shoot (Talinum triangulare (Jacq.) Willd). A randomized complete block design was used with threereplications of two factors, which were four N+K dosages (50 kg urea + 50 kg ha-1 KCl, 50 kg urea + 100 kg ha-1 KCl, 100 kgurea + 50 kg ha-1 KCl, 100 kg urea + 100 kg ha-1 KCl) and three harvest intervals (30, 15, and 10 days). The results showedthat interaction of 100 kg urea + 100 kg ha-1 KCl and 15-day harvest interval produced the highest content (8.29 mg g-1 freshweight) and production (4.72 g plant-1) of protein. The interaction of N+K dosages and harvest intervals were not signifi cantin affecting the anthocyanin content. The highest production of anthocyanin was produced by single treatment of 100 kg urea+ 100 kg ha-1 KCl (152.23 μmol plant-1) and 10 days harvest interval (165.47 μmol plant-1), respectively. Leaf protein levelsnegatively correlated with anthocyanin content

Uji Fitokimia dan Penapisan Senyawa Anti Malaria Asal Tumbuhan Benta (Wikstroemia SP.) terhadap Plasmodium Falciparum

Wikstroemia sp. is used in traditional medicine for medical purposes including malaria in Bangka and Belitung island. However, its use is largely based on the empirical experience rather than scientific investi-gation. The aim of this study is to identify the plant, to investigate the present of some kind of biochemical compound, and to evaluate in vitro antiplasmodial activity of ethanol extracts of Wikstroemia sp. leaves and fruits to Plasmodium falciparum. A visual method was allowed to evaluate the in vitro antiplasmodial activity of the extracts against P. falciparum. The number of parasites per 5,000 erythrocytes on thin Giemsa stained smears was calculated microscopically. IC50 values were determined by probit analysis of SPSS 13 program. The study showed, the plant was identified as Wikstroemia lanceolata. Some biochemical compound which have been investigated were phenol, saponin, and steroid. The antiplasmodial activity of ethanol extracts of Wikstroemia lanceolata fruits and leaves on P. falciparum were not effective as IC50>100 μg/mL. The highest inhibition of 100 μg/mL of Wikstroemia lanceolata fruits and leaves were 5.95% and 16.99% respectively

Transport Metilmerkuri (Mehg) Dan Merkuri Inorganik (I-hg) Terhadap Janin Dan Asi

TRANSPORT METILMERKURI (MeHg) DAN MERKURI INORGANIK (I-Hg) TERHADAP JANIN DAN ASITransport of Methylmercury and Inorganic Mercuryto the Fetus and Breast-Fed InfantHenny Dwi SusantiFakultas Ilmu Kesehatan, Universitas Muhammadiyah MalangJl. Bendungan Sutami 188A Malang 65145E-mail : [email protected] (Hg) merupakan salah satu logam berat yang berbahaya. Toksisitas Hg berbeda sesuai dengan bentuk kimianya, merkuri inorganik (I-Hg) bersifat toksik terhadap organ ginjal, sedangkan merkuri organik seperti metil merkuri (MeHg) bersifat toksik terhadap susunan sistim syaraf pusat. Hg bisa menguap di udara dan dapat menembus sawar plasenta. Kandungan MeHg pada bayi dua kali lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan darah ibu saat melahirkan, sedangkan kandungan Hg lebih tinggi sebelum persalinan daripada selama periode menyusui, dan kandungan MeHg pada bayi saat menyusui lebih tinggi dibandingkan I-Hg. Metode yang digunakan adalah a literature study approach. MeHg dan I-Hg adalah neurotoksik yang berpengaruh terhadap perkembangan otak dan mudah ditransfer melalui plasenta janin. Bahaya Hg bisa mengakibatkan retardasi mental, penurunan kognitif, penurunan pendengaran, penurunan kemampuan berbicara dan penyakit lain yang mempengaruhi pertumbuhan dan perkembangan pada janin. Kandungan MeHg juga ditemukan didalam Air Susu Ibu (ASI) meskipun kecil kandungannya. Pencegahan untuk mengurangi kandungan Hg pada janin dan ibu hamil adalah dengan tidak mengkonsumsi spesies ikan tertentu yang terpapar MeHg.Kata kunci : Metil Merkuri, Merkuri Inorganik, Janin, MenyusuiABSTRACTMercury (Hg) is a heavy metal that is dangerous. Hg toxicity differ according to their chemical forms, the inorganic mercury (I-Hg) is toxic to the kidneys, whereas organic mercury as methylmercury (MeHg) is toxic to the central nervous system arrangement. Hg can evaporate in the air and can penetrate the placental barrier. The content of MeHg in infants two times higher than the maternal blood, whereas higher Hg content before delivery than during the period of breastfeeding, and the content of MeHg in the baby during breastfeeding is higher than I- Hg. The method used was a literature study approach. MeHg and I- Hg is the neurotoxic effect on brain development is transferred through the placenta and fetus. Hg danger can result in mental retardation, cognitive impairment, hearing loss, decreased ability to speak and other diseases that affect the growth and development of the fetus. The content of MeHg also found in mother's milk (ASI) although minor ingredient. Prevention to reduce the amount of Hg in the fetus and pregnant women is by not eating certain fish species were exposed to MeHg

Penerapan Disiplin sebagai Pemoderasi Hubungan antara Pemberian Kompensasi dan Penghargaan terhadap Kinerja

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the compensation and rewards to the employee of BKKBN in East Java Province performance both simultaneously and partially, and was to determine whether the application of discipline moderated the correlation between compensation and rewards distribution to employee's performance. The Method of sample selection used in this study was cluster sampling technique that took randomly from the population. The numbers of the samples of this study were 82 respondents. The type of data used was primary data collected through questionnaire. The regression analysis with variables moderating was used thoroughly in analyzing the data.
