Gender, Diet, and Metabolic Syndrome in Adolescents in Malang, East Java

BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome is a set of sympton causing degenerative disease. Metabolic syndrome is assesed based on individual body mass index, waist circumference, blood presure, triglyceride level, high density lipoprotein level, and fasting blood sugar level. People with overweight and obesity had an increased risk of metabolic syndrome. This study aimed to examine the relationship between gender, diet, and metabolic syndrome, in adolescents. SUBJECT AND METHODS: This was a cross sectional study conducted in Malang, East Java. A sample of 227 adolescents was selected from several high school in Malang. The dependent variable was metabolic syndrome. The independent variables were gender and diet, which included energy, carbohydrate, protein, and fat intake. The data were analyzed using linear regression. RESULT: There were positive and statistically significant relationships between metabolic syndrome and energy intake (b=0.01; 95%CI=0.009 to 0.02; p=0.026); carbohydrates intake (b=0.02, 95%CI=0.01 to 0.04; p=0.012); protein intake (b=0.07; 95%CI=0.03 to 0.09; p=0.010); fat intake (b=0.06; 95%CI=0.04 to 0.12; p=0.002), gender (b=1.81; 95%CI=0.08 to 3.52; p=0.039). CONCLUSION: Diet and gender are risk factors for metabolic syndrome. Keywords: metabolic syndrome, gender, die

An economic analysis of midwifery training programmes in South Kalimantan, Indonesia.

In order to improve the knowledge and skills of midwives at health facilities and those based in villages in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, three in-service training programmes were carried out during 1995-98. A scheme used for both facility and village midwives included training at training centres, peer review and continuing education. One restricted to village midwives involved an internship programme in district hospitals. The incremental cost-effectiveness of these programmes was assessed from the standpoint of the health care provider. It was estimated that the first scheme could be expanded to increase the number of competent midwives based in facilities and villages in South Kalimantan by 1% at incremental costs of US$764.6 and US$ 1175.7 respectively, and that replication beyond South Kalimantan could increase the number of competent midwives based in facilities and villages by 1% at incremental costs of US$1225.5 and US$ 1786.4 per midwife respectively. It was also estimated that the number of competent village midwives could be increased by 1% at an incremental cost of US$898.1 per intern if replicated elsewhere, and at a cost of US$ 146.2 per intern for expanding the scheme in South Kalimantan. It was not clear whether the training programmes were more or less cost-effective than other safe motherhood interventions because the nature of the outcome measures hindered comparison

The Effectiveness of Vegetable Oil Formulations in Reducing Oviposition of Bactrocera Dorsalis Hendel (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Large Red Chili Fruits

Chili peppers (Capsicum annuum), in their many varieties, constitute a culturally and economically important horticultural crop in a number of countries. The Indonesian cayenne large red chili (Capsicum annuum var. annuum) is used widely in Indonesia mainly in cooking. There have been reports of increased infestation of large red chili by insect pests, particularly fruit flies. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of five edible vegetable oils (palm oil, coconut oil, soybean oil, corn oil, and candlenut oil) and one non-edible vegetable oil (neem oil) in reducing landings, oviposition, and infestation by the Oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel) in large red chili fruits. This lab-based experiment entailed exposure of large red chili fruits to 20 mature B. dorsalis females (14–21 days old) inside a 15-l plastic container. Six separate containers each held 10 large red chili fruits with a single oil treatment in each. Prior to exposure, each of the treated and control large red chili fruits was punctured once with a needle in order to create an opening for oviposition. Results indicate that the coconut oil formulation was most effective in preventing damage from B. dorsalis females, and reducing fruit fly landings, oviposition, and infestation

Effects of Predisposing, Enabling, and Reinforcing Factors on the Uptake of Voluntary Counselling and Testing Among Female Sex Workers in Grobogan, Central Java

Background: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection is a global public health issue. Global AIDS Response Progress Reporting (GARP) reported that in 2015, about 36.7 million people worldwide suffered from HIV-AIDS in all age groups. The highest number of HIV/AIDS cases occured in East Africa and South Africa. This study aimed to examine the effects of predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors on the uptake of voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) among female sex workers in Grobogan, Central Java.Subjects and Method: This was an analytical observational study with cross-sectional design. It was conducted in Grobogan, Central Java, in July 2017. A sample of 142 female sex workers were selected for this study by exhaustive sampling. The dependent variable was uptake of VCT. The independent variables were attitude, perceived benefit, external motivation from others, and social support. The data were collected by a questionnaire and analyzed by multiple logistic regression.Results: Positive attitude towards HIV status (OR= 6.09; 95% CI= 0.968 to 38.38; p= 0.054), positive perceived benefit (OR= 10.58; 95% CI= 1.48 to 76.93; p= 0.019), external motivation (OR= 8.30; 95% CI= 1.21 to 56.82; p= 0.031), and social support (OR= 9.45; 95% CI= 1.46 to 60.83; p= 0.018), positively affected uptake of VCT.Conclusion: Positive attitude towards HIV status, positive perceived benefit, external motivation, and social support, positively affect uptake of VCT.Keywords: HIV, Voluntary Counselling Testing, female sex workersCorrespondence: Muhammad Vidi Perdana.

Sanitation-Related Behavior, Container Index, and Their Associations with Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Incidence in Karanganyar, Central Java

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) causes not only epidemic but also social and economic impacts. Environmental sanitation, water reservoirs, and community behavior can influence the incidence of DHF. This study aimed to examine sanitation-related behavior, container index, and their associations with dengue hemorrhagic fever incidence.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational field study using case control design. The study was conducted in sub-districts with the highest and lowest DHF cases in Karanganyar, Central Java, from May to July, 2017. A total sample of 120 study subjects was selected for this study using fixed disease sampling, including 40 people with DHF and 80 people without DHF. The dependent variable was DHF. The independent variables were age, education level, family income, container index, and sanitation behavior. The data were measured by a set of questionnaire and examined using path analysis.Results: Sanitation behavior (b=1.50; 95% CI= 0.57 to 2.42, p=0.001) and Container Index (b=0.90; 95% CI= 0.03 to 1.84; p=0.057) were directly and positively associated with DHF incidence. Container Index was associated with sanitation behavior (b=2.09, 95% CI = 1.21 to 2.97, p<0.001). Age (b=-0.76, 95% CI = -1.60 to 0.08, p=0.074), education level (b=-1.02, 95% CI = -1.87 to -0.17, p=0.019), and family income (b=-0.70, 95% CI= -1.60 to 0.19, p=0.122) were associated with sanitation behavior.Conclusion: DHF incidence is directly and positively associated with sanitation behavior, and container index. DHF incidence is indirectly associated with age, education level, and family income.Keywords: dengue haemorhagic fever, sanitation, container index, behavior, path analysisCorrespondence: Nunik Maya Hastuti.

Risiko Inisiasi Menyusu Dini dan Praktek Asi Eksklusif terhadap Kejadian Stunting pada Anak 6-24 Bulan (Early Breastfeeding Initiation And Exclusive Breastfeeding AS Risk Factors Of Stunting Children 6-24 Months-old)

Some of causes of stunting are the deferment of early breastfeeding initiation and the administration of the non-exclusive breastfeeding. The objective of this study was to elaborate relationship of early breastfeeding initiation and exclusive breastfeeding administration history to the stunting. This sudy used the observational analytical research method with the cross-sectional design. Its subjects were 33 stunting and 77 non-stunting children aged 6-24 months in Boyolali Regency. Data was analyzed by using the chi-square test and multiple logistic regression analysis. The stunting children who got the early breastfeeding initiation were 14, and those who did not get the early breastfeeding initiation were 19. The stunting children who got the exclusive breastfeeding were 4 and those who did not get the exclusive breastfeeding were 29. Early breastfeeding initiation and exclusive breastfeeding had a significant correlation with the stunting as indicated by the p-value &lt;0.05. The children who did not get the early breastfeeding initiation have the possibility of 3.69 times higher to suffer from stunting than those who got the early breastfeeding initiation. In addition, the children who did not get the exclusive breastfeeding have the possibility of 9.5 times higher to suffer from stunting than those who got the exclusive breastfeeding. Therefore, nutrition education to the gestational mothers on the importance of exclusive breastfeeding administration is required

Personal pack display and active smoking at outdoor café strips: assessing the impact of plain packaging 1 year postimplementation

Aims: We observed tobacco pack display and smoking at outdoor venues over three summers to assess changes in their prevalence following Australia's introduction of plain tobacco packaging with larger pictorial health warnings. Methods: Between January and April 2012 (preplain packaging (PP)), 2013 (early post-PP) and 2014 (1 year post-PP), we counted patrons, smokers and tobacco packs at cafés, restaurants and bars with outdoor seating. Pack type (branded, plain or unknown) and orientation were noted. Rates of active smoking, pack display and pack orientation were analysed using multilevel Poisson regression. Results: Prevalence of pack display among patrons declined from pre-PP (1 pack per 8.7 patrons) to early post-PP (1 pack per 10.4), and remained low 1 year post-PP (1 pack per 10.3). This appeared to be driven by a sustained decline in active smoking post-PP (pre-PP: 8.4% of patrons were smoking; early post-PP: 6.4%; 1 year post-PP: 6.8%). Notably, active smoking declined more in venues with children present than in those without. While early post-PP, plain packs were less often displayed face-up (74.0%) and more often concealed (8.9%) than branded packs pre-PP (face-up: 85.2%; concealed: 4.0%), this was not sustained 1 year post-PP (face-up: 85.7%; concealed: 4.4%). Also, external case use increased from pre-PP (1.2%) to early post-PP (3.5%), but returned to pre-PP levels 1 year post-PP (1.9%). Conclusions: This study demonstrated a sustained reduction in visibility of tobacco products and smoking in public, particularly in the presence of children, from pre-PP to 1 year post-PP. This effect is likely to reduce smoking-related social norms, thereby weakening an important influence on smoking uptake and better supporting quit attempts.Meghan Zacher, Megan Bayly, Emily Brennan, Joanne Dono, Caroline Miller, Sarah Durkin, Michelle Scollo, Melanie Wakefiel

Testing common knowledge: are Northern Europeans and millennials more concerned about the environment?

This study explores whether there are differences in several environmental dimensions, when the European Region and Generation cohort are considered. In doing so, this study compares millennials in North and South Europe with members of Generation X in three environmental dimensions: attitudes, personal norms, and behavior. Using data from the European Social Survey (n = 6.216), the researchers tested the hypothesis that Northern Europeans and millennials have more pro-environmental standing than southerners and Generation Xers. The findings challenge the common belief that millennials are more committed to being environmentally conscious, showing that many millennials do not feel responsible for their climate footprint, nor do they behave in a way that shows more concern than previous generations to improve their environmental performance. Furthermore, contrary to expectations, Northern European participants are not the most committed, in all environmental dimensions, compared to Southern Europeans.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Posterior variant of alien limb syndrome with sudden clinical onset as self-hitting associated with thalamic stroke

We present a case of sudden postischaemic onset of alien limb syndrome, with unintentional self-injury. Alien limb syndrome is an uncommon neurological disorder featured by uncontrolled and involuntary movements of a limb. Three variants of alien limb syndrome have been described: the anterior, featured by grasping of surrounding objects, the callosal, presenting with intermanual conflict, and the posterior, associated with involuntary levitation of the limb. Our patient suffered from an acute presentation of the posterior variant of the alien limb syndrome, resulting from an isolated thalamic stroke which was documented using 24-h computed tomography brain scan. Only one previous case of alien limb syndrome after thalamic infarct has been reported. Our case enhances the possibility that pure thalamic injury may represent a trigger for this condition
