Abstract: This paper is about to prove that hypertension has been becoming as a major health problem among the working-aged population in Aceh’s urban area, defined as those 18-64 years old. The employed procedures are pursuant to ethical standards of National Institute of Health Research and Development, Indonesia Ministry of Health. This research is conducted from April 2012 to November 2012 as a cross-sectional study with purposive sampling scheme in urban areas of Gampong Ceurih, Ulee Kareeng sub-district of Banda Aceh, Indonesian’s province of Aceh. The inclusion criterions for the participants in this study are: 1) Married 2) categorized as poor people based on standard of Central Bureau of Statistic (BPS). Logistic regression with bivariate and multivariate analysis is employed to scrutinize linkage between several individual characteristics and hypertension. Bi-variate logistic regression confirms that age group, educational backgrounds, employment and housing status as well as obesity are statistically significant to hypertension stage-1; moreover, the probability of hypertension stage-1 increases progressively with increasing age and BMI. Multivariate logistic regression confirms that the individual characteristics of the poor those are significantly determining hypertension only age group and BMI class. For normal weight (BMI 25), the probability to get hypertension stage-1 at aged 18-30, 31-42, and 43-54 years are 7.05%, 25.36%, and 70.53%, respectively. For the obese (BMI ≥30), the probability to get hypertension stage-1 at aged 18-30, 31-42, and 43-54 years are respectively 36.18%, 71.76%, and 94.71%. This evidence implies that hypertension is a common health problem of the poor at elderly population. In short, government intervention should not only deal with curative aspect such as enforcing universal health coverage program to entire population in Aceh because this program may be ineffective to maintain health of the poor if the healthy foods are still hard to be obtained by poor families. Key Words: Health Problem, Aceh, Poverty Issues

Abstract

The use of superior seeds and certified hybrids is one of the efforts to increase the productivity of chili. Absorption of nutrients and water is strongly supported by root growth, with the administration of Trichoderma sp. hence root growth becomes better so that the process of absorption of nutrients and water will also be optimal which also results in the growth and production of chili plants. This study aims to determine the effect of varieties and dosages of T. harzianum pellets as well as their interactions with the growth and production of chili. The design used in this study was a factorial randomized block design (RBD) with 3 replications. The results showed that the treatment of varieties had a very significant effect on the average plant height and canopy width at 20, 40, and 60 DAP, wet stover weight, dry stover weight, fruit length and fruit diameter. Varieties have a significant effect on leaf length, and root length. The growth and production of chili plants is better found in the Lado variety. The dose of T. harzianum has a very significant effect on the average root length and has a significant effect on the average weight of dry stover. The better growth and production of chili plants is found in the administration of 20 g of T. harzianum / plant.

Abstract

Perkembangan pertambangan dan perindustrian selain meningkatkan ekonomi masyarakat juga memberi dampak terhadap kesehatan, diantaranya adalah meningkatnya kejadian kanker. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kejadian kanker pada pekerja dan penduduk di lingkungan pertambangan dan perindustrian. Penelitian observasional analitik ini menggunakan desain cross sectional. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menganalisis data riset penyakit tidak menular tahun 2016. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah perempuan usia 25-64 tahun yang tinggal di wilayah perkotaan di 76 kabupaten/kota, 34 provinsi di Indonesia. Total, 4398 peserta direkrut sebagai sampel menggunakan kuota sampling. Data dikumpulkan dengan teknik wawancara menggunakan kuesioner. Chi Square digunakan untuk menganalisis data menggunakan SPSS 23. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa tinggal di kawasan industri berhubungan dengan kejadian kanker terhadap perempuan (p = 0,009). Penderita kanker telah tinggal di kawasan industri lebih dari 30 tahun, kebanyakan tinggal di kawasan industri phthalate, jarak tempat tinggal dengan kawasan industri ≤ 5 km, industri bersifat khusus, dan kebanyakan responden yang menderita kanker menggunakan air dari sumur-bor/pompa/gali/PDAM. Tinggal dalam waktu yang lama dan jarak yang dekat dengan dengan kawasan industri meningkatkan resiko terhadap kanker pada perempuan. The development of mining and industry besides improving community economic also has an impact on health, such as cancer. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of cancer in workers and residents in the mining and industrial environment. This analytic observational study used a cross sectional design. This research was conducted by analyzing data from non-communicable disease research in 2016. The population in this study were women aged 25-64 years living in urban areas in 76 districts / cities, 34 provinces in Indonesia. In total, 4398 participants were recruited as samples using quota sampling. Data were collected by interview technique using questionnaire. Chi Square was used to analyze data using SPSS 23. The results showed that living in industrial areas was associated with cancer incidence of women (p = 0.009). Cancer patients have lived in industrial area for more than 30 years, mostly living in phthalate industry, distance of residence with industrial area ≤ 5 km, specific industry, and most respondents suffering from cancer use water from wells-drill /pump/PDAM. Staying for long periods of time and close proximity to industrial areas increases the risk of cancer in women.

Abstract

Kementerian Kesehatan Republik Indonesia telah menetapkan Indonesia akan mencapai fase eliminasi malaria pada tahun 2030. Tapi, periode tahun 2018-2019 di Provinsi Aceh dilaporkan masih adanya temuan 19 kasus positif infeksi P. knowlesi. Penelitian ini bertujuan melakukan analisis faktor risiko terhadap kasus infeksi P. knowlesi di Provinsi Aceh periode tahun 2018 s/d 2019. Penelitian observasional dengan desain penelitian kasus kontrol, dilakukan di 4 wilayah kabupaten/ kota yang menjadi lokasi penemuan kasus infeksi P. knowlesi di Provinsi Aceh. Populasinya seluruh masyarakat dari 4 kabupaten/kota yang menjadi lokasi penelitian yang potensial tinggal dekat hutan. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 74 orang (16 kasus: 58 kontrol). Analisa data dilakukan dengan menggunakan analisis regresi logistik. Hasil uji analisis bivariat didapatkan ada hubungan antara kebiasaan keluar malam hari (p=0,001) dengan kejadian infeksi P. knowlesi. Selanjutnya tidak ada hubungan antara keberadaan macaca, lingkungan hutan, obat anti nyamuk, kelambu, dan kawat kasa dengan kejadian infeksi P. knowlesi. Hasil analisis multivariat untuk keseluruhan variabel penelitian diketahui bahwa kebiasaan keluar malam hari merupakan prediktor paling dominan terhadap kejadian infeksi P. knowlesi ((OR=11,25) (95% CI: 3,01 – 42,08) p Value =0,000). Hasil penelitian secara umum menyimpulkan bahwa kebiasaan keluar malam hari secara signifikan memiliki pengaruh terhadap kejadian infeksi P. knowlesi di provinsi Aceh. The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia has determined that Indonesia will reach the elimination phase of malaria in 2030. But, in period 2018 - 2019 Aceh Province is reported to have found 19 positive cases of P. knowlesi infection. This research aims to dorisk factor analysis of cases P. knowlesi infection in Aceh Province for the period 2018 to 2019. This observational study with a case control research design was conducted in 4 districts/ cities which were the location for finding cases of P. knowlesi infection in Aceh Province. Its populationAll people from the 4 districts / cities that are potential research locations live near the forest. The research sample was 74 people (16 cases: 58 control). Data analysis was performed using logistic regression analysis. The results of the bivariate analysis test showed that there was a relationship between the habit of going out at night (p=0.001) with the incidence of P. knowlesi infection. Furthermore, there is no relationship between the presence of macaca, forest environment, mosquito repellent, mosquito nets, and gauze with the incidence of P. knowlesi infection. The results of multivariate analysis for all research variables showed that nighttime out habits were the most dominant predictor of P. knowlesi infection ((OR = 11.25) (95% CI: 3.01 - 42.08) p value = 0.000). The results of the study generally concluded that the habit of going out at night had a significant effect on the incidence of P. knowlesi infection in Aceh province.

Abstract

Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a disease caused by a virus of the genus Enterovirus. HFMD is an infectious disease that often affects children. Although rare, this disease can also affect adults, especially those with low levels of immunity. Symptoms of the flu are a pain in the mouth, and rashes on the hands and feet. HFMD sufferers can transmit the virus through nasal and throat fluids, and feces. Reports in Gorontalo Province showed that there were 38 HFMD cases. Since the beginning of 2022, Gorontalo has also been an increase in HFMD cases in the community. Everyone reported a case of HFMD suspects will be an alert which is a warning of vigilance and needs to be responded to. Intensive efforts are needed to prevent the spread of HFMD from spreading. Seeing this, the service team provided socialization and education about HFMD to increase residents' knowledge so that they could prevent HFMD infection. Based on the results of the HFMD material presentation activities, it is known that there is an increase in knowledge among the residents of Dukuh Menanggal District by 20% in terms of characteristics, symptoms, ways of transmission, and how to prevent HFMD. This increase in knowledge is expected to also increase citizen vigilance and prevent HFMD. Keywords: HFMD; Singapore Flu; Knowledge
