Based on research on 124 pregnant women in the working area of the Taram Public Health Center, it can be concluded that the oral dental and hygiene maintenance actions of pregnant women are mostly in the good category.</jats:p

Morphological characteristic of Fusarium spp. in several highlands of North Sumatera

Abstract Fusarium spp. is a genus of fungi that causes disease in many plants so that special attention, handling and control is needed for this pathogen. Morphological observations are needed to provide an overview of macroscopic and microscopic morphological variations that be used as basic information in the development of a Fusarium spp. control program. The research aims to determine the morphological characteristics of Fusarium spp. in several highlands of North Sumatra. The research was conducted at the Laboratory of Plant Diseases, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Sumatera Utara, Medan in September-December 2019. Fusarium spp. isolates obtained from several highlands of North Sumatra were rejuvenated on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) medium. All isolates were observed macroscopically and microscopically to determine colony morphology including macroconidium, microconidium and conidiophores. Microscopic morphological observations using a compound microscope. The results showed that Fusarium spp. obtained have almost the same morphology. Microscopic observation showed that there were differences in macroconidia morphology in Fusarium spp isolates found in Tanah Karo District with Simalungun and Dairi Districts.</jats:p

The Effects of Pineapple Extract Toothpaste (Ananas comosus L.Merr) on Saliva Flow Rate

Abstract Women in the menopause period experience biological changes, decreased production of the hormones estrogen and progesterone resulting in xerostomia (dry mouth). Dry mouth treatment can be carried out using mechanical and chemical stimuli. Citric acid stimulation is one way to increase the flow rate of saliva. Pineapple contains a high amount of citric acid. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of toothpaste with pineapple extract, which increasing salivary flow rate in women in menopause period at the Integrated Health Center (Posyandu) for elderly in Baso Health Center. This type of experimental research using pretest-posttest control group design and the sample selection was taken by simple random sampling with a lottery technique. The number of samples was 32 people who were divided into two groups, namely the treatment group and the control group. Saliva was collected before and after treatment into the saliva pot for 5 minutes using the spitting method. Data analysis using paired T test and unpaired T test. The results showed that there was an increase in salivary flow rate with the use of pineapple extract toothpaste 50% of 1.651 ml/minute and with fluoride toothpaste. 1,170 ml/minute. There is an effect of brushing teeth with pineapple extract toothpaste on the salivary flow rate with a significance value of p = 0.000 &lt;0.05. Pineapple extract toothpaste can be used as an alternative treatment for xerostomia for women in menopause period.</jats:p

IMPLEMENTASI ALGORITMA END OF FILE (EoF) PADA STEGANOGRAFI CITRA

Dalam menjaga kerahasiaan informasi atau data dari sabotase, pencuri atau dari pihak yang tidak berwenang, dapat dilakukan dengan menyembunyikan pesan pada sebuah media yang dikenal dengan steganografi. Salah satu media yang dapat digunakan dalam menyembunyikan pesan yaitu citra GIF, dimana citra GIF memiliki kemampuan yang bagus dalam menyisipkan pesan, karena citra GIF sendiri tidak mengalami perubahan setelah disisipkan pesan karena citra GIF yang bersifat lossless. Algoritma End Of File (EoF) merupakan salah satu algoritma yang digunakan dalam steganografi dengan cara menambahkan data atau pesan rahasia pada akhir file. Perhitungan ukuran file yang sudah disisipkan data sama dengan ukuran file sebelum disisipkan data ditambah ukuran data rahasia yang telah diubah mejadi encoding file. Algoritma EoF mempunyai kelebihan dapat menyembunyikan pesan dalam jumlah yang tidak terbatas. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian yang dilakukan pada GIF yang telah disisipkan pesan dari 50 karakter sampai 100000 karakter tidak mengalami perubahan. Berdasarkan kriteria steganografi dengan algoritma EoF pengujian recovery bagus dilakukan pada citra GIF, pengujian robustness citra GIF tidak tahan terhadap manipulasi, dan untuk pengujian recovery pesan dapat dikembalikan dengan baik tanpa dilakukan manipulasi pada citra stego GIF.   In maintaining the confidentiality of information or data from sabotage, thieves or from unauthorized parties, can take a step by hiding messages on a media that can be said by steganography. One of the media that can be used in hiding messages is GIF image, where GIF image has a good ability to insert messages, because the GIF image itself does not experience changes after the message is inserted because the GIF image is lossless. The End Of File (EoF) algorithm is one of the algorithms used in steganography by adding data or secret messages at the end of the file. Calculation of file size that has been inserted data is the same as the size of the file before inserting data plus the size of the secret data that has been changed to encoding the file. The EoF algorithm has the advantage of being able to hide an unlimited number of messages. Based on the results of the tests carried out, the GIF that has been inserted messages from 50 characters to 100000 characters has not changed. Based on the steganography criteria with EoF algorithm recovery testing is good done on GIF images, testing the GIF image robustness is not resistant to manipulation, and for recovery message testing can be returned properly without manipulation on the stego GIF image.</jats:p
