| Promoting Eco Friendly Consumption Behavior in Vocational High School Students: A Comprehensive Case Study of Educational Approaches | Author : Sri Handayani, Forijati Forijati, Subagyo Subagyo | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Background: Students can be taught eco friendly consuming habits through classroom learning activities with the help of teachers and other school-related activities. The study focus is a case study completed at a vocational high school. We seek to understand the broad-reaching consequences that this teaching strategy might evoke by examining the potential implications of integrating environmentally responsible consumption practices within an educational framework. Through a thorough case study, we aim to shed light on how incorporating environmentally responsible consuming practices into schooling could support more general educational goals and encourage sustainable habits. Internalizing this through character education entails setting models and developing routine behaviors based on school policies and extracurricular activities in addition to integrated environmental education. This supports the long-term integration of these ideals into students personalities. Method: This research uses a survey methodology and is explanatory. The SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) was used to analyze the data. 95 respondents make up the sample size for the sampling method, which uses proportionate random sampling. Result: According to the research findings, integrating character education and general education are impacted by internalizing environmentally responsible consumption habits. |
| Trend of Anemia Prevalence in Pregnant Women in the Working Area of Sukosari Health Center, Madiun City, 2018-2022 | Author : Nur Heliana Sari, Heru Santoso Wahito Nugroho, Tinuk Esti Handayani, Teta Puji Rahayu | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Pregnancy anemia poses a significant national challenge due to its adverse impact on human resource (HR) quality. Without proper management, it can lead to maternal and fetal complications, even death. This study aimed to determine the trend of anemia prevalence of pregnant women from 2018-2022 in the working area of Sukosari Health Center, Madiun City. Conducted as descriptive quantitative research with predictive elements, it encompassed 2157 pregnant women in the center jurisdiction. Utilizing the total population as the sample, data was collected from maternal LB3 documents. Trendline analysis in MS Office Excel revealed the trend and prediction of the anemia prevalence in the following year by displaying the equation display on chart. The results showed a trend and prediction of the anemia prevalence for pregnant women at the end of 2023, the total Sukosari Health Center increased. The trend and prediction of the prevalence of pregnant women in each village and each trimester of pregnancy also increased. The highest increase in the anemia prevalence for pregnant women occurred in Klegen Village and in the first trimester of pregnancy. From these results, it can be concluded that the trend of anemia prevalence of pregnant women at the health center has increased and exceeds the target set by the Madiun City Health Office, which is <15%. This condition needs to be monitoring and paid special attention to by increasing education on the prevention and treatment of anemia among adolescent girls and pregnant women, monitoring and evaluating the program of giving blood-added tablets, and maximizing local area monitoring of pregnant women. Innovative efforts can also be made in the form of taking blood tablets together on the opening day of pregnancy check-up services and during the implementation of classes for pregnant women and organizing classes for brides-to-be at health centers. |
| Increasing Awareness of the Village Disaster Risk Reduction Forum in Magetan Regency in Realizing Disaster Preparedness | Author : Sunarto Sunarto, Heru Santoso Wahito Nugroho, Suparji Suparji | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Disaster risk reduction forums as a capacity in disaster resilient villages often experience difficulties in realizing disaster preparedness. It is necessary to prioritize any element that is immediately realized, so that what is done truly makes society have resilience and toughness. five disaster preparedness parameters that must be prepared by the forum. These five parameters have 25 elements as constructs. Elements as a construct of disaster preparedness parameters become an instrument called Difficulty and Usefulness of Elements in Disaster Preparedness (DUEDP-Questionnaire). This DUEDP questionnaire serves as a guide enumerator for interviewing forum administrators and communities in 23 disaster-resilient villages in the Magetan district. Data was collected for three months starting May-July 2023. The element prioritization technique uses the Quadrant of Difficulty and Usefulness (QoDU) method. This method focuses on elements in the upper left quadrant, namely elements that are very useful but how to make it happen is very difficult. The research results place the elements of involving vulnerable groups in socializing about disasters, providing village funds for disaster management, preparing contingency plan documents, providing early warning system tools, and training families to provide disaster preparedness bags as the main priorities that must be immediately realized by the forum. |
| Visualization of the Macrophages Dynamic in TB-HIV Co-Infection Using the Molecular Imaging Techniques: A Narrative Review | Author : Fuad Minan Zuhri | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) collaborate in order to weaken the immune system and increase the burden of both illnesses. Macrophages as the first intracellular niche against Mtb infection, are also involved in the persistence of the HIV infection, and may have an important role in the of tuberculosis (TB)-HIV co-infection. Improved knowledge of the macrophage function and pathogenesis dynamics may contribute to the development of newer and better diagnosis technique, prognosis assessment, and therapeutic intervention. By monitoring changes in the expression of molecular targets, macrophage identification methods that use molecular imaging techniques for cell image analysis can efficiently provide important information about macrophage biology and evaluate early response to therapy, which can facilitate medical personnel in the identification and treatment of TB-HIV disease. This study is a narrative review highlighting the utilization of molecular imaging techniques to capture macrophage dynamics in TB-HIV co-infection. Confocal laser scanning microscopy live imaging, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence microscopy, histochemical staining, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and deconvolution microscopy images are among several molecular imaging techniques that can be used to visualize macrophage dynamics in TB-HIV co-infection. |
