Authors: Angriawan  , Wati Indah , Zuidah  , Karokaro Tati Murni , Simarmata Juni Mariati
Published: July 2024

Hypertension is a health disorder that causes an increase in blood pressure. Hypertension can cause serious complications in the form of stroke. These significant complications can be life threatening and even death. Stroke is a global health problem with more than 15 million people annually experiencing this condition worldwide. This study was conducted on 30 individuals who visited the Pagar Jati Community Health Center, using the accidental sampling method, to explore the contribution of community participation in increasing awareness about hypertension and promoting preventive behavior. Through outreach activities and public campaigns, community participation has succeeded in increasing understanding of the importance of regular health check-ups by checking blood pressure and consuming foods with balanced nutrition, including low salt, thereby preventing hypertension. Evaluating the effectiveness of the community service program using a questionnaire showed an increase from 70% at the pretest stage to 93% at the posttest stage. This reflects a significant increase in awareness, knowledge and preventive measures against complications of hypertension, such as stroke, in the community areas served by health community center (Puskesmas) Pagar Jati. Collaboration between health workers, local government, educational institutions and the community is the key to the success of this program. Although challenges remain such as limited access and inequality of information, community service has proven to be an effective tool in strengthening the community response to hypertension and advancing overall community health.

Authors: Sirait Reni Aprinawaty
Published: July 2024

Wash your hands regularly with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Hand hygiene must be carried out before and after contact with patients, before carrying out aseptic procedures, after exposure to body fluids, and after touching objects around the patient, which is a crucial step in maintaining the safety of patients, health workers, visitors and the community around health care facilities. This activity took place at Grandmed Lubuk Pakam Hospital. This activity was aimed at 96 patients in the hospital, with the aim of increasing knowledge regarding preventing HAIs by washing hands properly. One very effective method for preventing the spread of infection is washing hands with soap and using hand sanitizer. Lack of knowledge about efforts to prevent exposure to infectious diseases can influence the frequency of disease occurrence. This activity is carried out through counseling which involves the use of learning videos and direct practice using hand sanitizer. In service activities by providing education related to material on the meaning of hand washing, the importance of washing hands in hospitals, the right time and mandatory hand washing for hospital patients, correct hand washing techniques, use of hand sanitizer, visuals and demonstrations, and education for families and visitors. In this activity, patients are asked to practice correct hand washing procedures.  The results of the activity were obtained from 96 people, 85 people (89%) understood how to wash their hands properly as an effort to prevent and prevent the risk of infection while in hospital or after leaving the hospital.  It is hoped that hospital management will work together with the Infectious Disease Prevention Committee (PPI) officers periodically to prevent and overcome the occurrence of nosocomial infections (HAIs) in the hospital.

Authors: Gurusinga Rahmad , Yunus Albrianto , Putra Tomy
Published: July 2024

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a type of dangerous and infectious disease that is very important and causes serious health problems in many countries, including Indonesia. This disease is caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis which can attack through the air when another infected person sneezes, coughs or talks. Pulmonary TB can infect anyone, especially individuals who live in densely populated areas and have weak immune systems. Implementing correct cough etiquette is very important to prevent transmission of pulmonary TB. Correct cough etiquette includes the habit of covering your mouth and nose with a tissue or the inside of your elbow when coughing or sneezing, and washing your hands afterwards. The purpose of this education is to examine the importance of education regarding correct cough etiquette and increase knowledge of pulmonary TB sufferers at the Galang Community Health Center while also supporting the government's efforts to achieve the target of eliminating TB as a public health problem in Indonesia. The method used includes a pretest before implementing education, followed by an explanation of material regarding correct cough etiquette, and then ending with a posttest. This educational activity was carried out at the Galang Community Health Center, Deli Serdang Regency with the participation of 24 participants. Before the education was carried out, the majority of participants had poor knowledge (60%), but after the education, the majority of participants showed good knowledge (95%) and understood the principles of correct cough etiquette. It was concluded that the education participants' knowledge increased, whereas previously the majority was lacking and after the education was given the majority had good knowledge. It is recommended that we continue to apply good cough etiquette and it is hoped that there will be a significant reduction in the transmission of pulmonary TB so that it can improve the quality of public health.

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is behavior that is implemented in daily life based on initiatives originating from learning outcomes so that it can change individuals or groups so that they can play an active role in their health in society. School-age children are children who are in childhood, which is clearly in contrast to adulthood. During childhood, there are generally many health problems that are critical in determining the quality of a child's health in the future. Community service is the key to efforts to spread knowledge about PHBS. This community service was carried out for elementary school students in grades 4, 5, and 6 at SD Negeri 101900 Lubuk Pakam, as many as 100 people. This activity will play a role in raising students' awareness of implementing PHBS behavior and infectious disease prevention behavior at school. This activity is held through counseling, and public campaigns, where PkM will be able to increase understanding about washing hands before and after carrying out activities, brushing teeth, not littering, and not snacking carelessly. Evaluation of this activity is carried out through review activities by asking questions to elementary school students. The results of this PkM show that there has been a significant increase in awareness, knowledge, and prevention efforts in implementing PHBS at SD Negeri 101900 Lubuk Pakam. It is hoped that students will remain consistent in implementing PHBS in their daily activities.

Published: July 2024

The issue of adolescent reproduction is now widespread news that is spreading in developing countries. As many as 21 million teenage girls aged 15–19 years are pregnant each year, of which 49% are unexpected pregnancies. Reproductive health is important in realizing the welfare of adolescents now and in the future. Sexual behavior that can be addressed well will affect the reproductive health of adolescents. By providing appropriate sources of information about reproductive health, good sexual behavior will be formed. Learning motivation plays a role in developing students' academic and non-academic values ??so that they can be wise in understanding sexual behavior. Educational activities through counseling will increase the learning motivation of PkM participants and provide the latest sources of information regarding reproductive health which will later be useful in establishing good sexual behavior. The stages in implementing PkM include question and answer, pre-test and post-test, delivery of material, discussion, and evaluation of activities. The PkM participants were 50 class XI students at SMK Al-wasiyah 9 Perbaungan. Sexual behavior can influence students' motivation to participate in learning. Sources of information about reproductive health through the WHO, CDC, and Planned Parenthood websites help participants develop good sexual behavior. Through this educational activity, PkM participants have increased their knowledge and motivation to learn, as evidenced by an average post-test score of 85.2 where the previous average pre-test score was 65.8.

Toddler nutrition problems are one of the determinants of the quality of human resources in the future. Toddlers have the potential to be very vulnerable to nutritional problems, which are caused by a lack of nutritional intake. The need for nutrients plays a role in optimizing the growth and development of toddlers. Nutritional problems can be overcome depending on the role of parents, especially mothers. This community service activity aims to increase knowledge about balanced nutrition and monitor the nutritional status of toddlers. The method used in this activity is using education through balanced nutrition counseling and monitoring the nutritional status of toddlers to mothers who have children aged 0 to 60 months by providing leaflets to participants. The number of participants who took part in the activity was 27 people. The implementation of the Community Service activity was carried out by a team of lecturers and students from the Nutrition Study Program INKES Medistra Lubuk Pakam in 2024. This Community Service was also accompanied by cadres of the Nagalawan Village Posyandu and health workers from the Melati Melati Health Center, Serdang Bedagai Regency. From 27 participants, data was obtained that there was an increase in knowledge, proven by mothers who had good knowledge previously as many as 3 people after being given counseling increased to 12 people, which means there was an increase of 33.33%. The results of monitoring the nutritional status of toddlers in Nagalawan Village showed that the nutritional status of toddlers with the category of malnutrition was 7 people (26.0%), the normal nutritional category was 12 people (44.4%). In comparison, the excess nutritional category was 8 people (29.6%). In the PkM activity, it can be concluded that there was an increase in maternal knowledge of 33.33%. The use of leaflet media, lecture methods, and questions and answers effectively increased maternal knowledge in Nagalawan Village. The results of monitoring the nutritional status of toddlers with the majority of toddlers with the normal nutritional category were 12 people (44.4%).

Published: July 2024

A partir da greve de roteiristas e atores em Hollywood e da primeira AI Fashion Week – eventos ocorridos no ano de 2023 –, este artigo investiga o impacto da inteligência artificial (IA) generativa para o trabalho criativo. Para tanto, desmistifica a IA voltando-se para seus elementos constitutivos, descortinando, por um lado, a imensa e multifacetada cadeia de exploração do trabalho humano que se esconde por debaixo do verniz da “inteligência artificial”; e demonstrando, por outro, como a IA depende – para o seu treinamento e funcionamento – da apropriação prévia e indiscriminada de toda a cultura humana disponível online. A conclusão é que a IA, ao se apropriar do trabalho não creditado e não remunerado de gerações de artistas humanos, cumpre a função de desvalorizar – ou substituir completamente – o trabalho criativo especializado.

Objective: A comparative analysis of hemoglobin (HB), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and ferritin levels among pregnant women from all four provinces in Pakistan: Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan.
Methods: It was a Cross-sectional Observational study. The study was conducted at four centers in Karachi, Quetta, Kharian and Mardan Pakistan for 1 year from 1St Feb 2022 to 31st Jan 2023. Maternal blood parameters were measured and compared across different regions of Pakistan to identify potential regional differences due to factors such as ethnicity, socio-economic status, and other factors.
Results: The mean hemoglobin levels were 10.95 g/dL in Balochistan, 11.04 g/dL in KPK, 10.82 g/dL in Punjab, and 10.36 g/dL in Sindh. The mean MCV values was 80.56 FL in Balochistan, 79.70 FL in KPK, 77.94 FL in Punjab, and 80.89 FL in Sindh. The mean serum ferritin levels were 16.00 ng/mL in Balochistan, 23.84 ng/mL in KPK, 33.92 ng/mL in Punjab, and 20.93 ng/mL in Sindh.
Conclusions: Overall, the results showed significant variation in the mean values for the different variables across the four provinces. We also noticed that gestational anemia is very common health issue all over Pakistan. This study provides valuable insights into regional differences in maternal blood parameters during pregnancy in Pakistan and may help in the development of regionally targeted interventions to address maternal anaemia.

Uma formulação multiescala não linear e descontínua para problemas de convecção-difusão-reação
Authors: Jesus Enéas Mendes de , Santos Isaac Pinheiro dos
Published: July 2024

Este trabalho apresenta uma formulação de Galerkin descontínua multiescala e não linear com o objetivo de resolver problemas de convecção-difusão-reação. Considerando uma decomposição do espaço de aproximação em duas escalas, macro e micro, o novo método introduz um operador não linear de difusão artificial em ambas as escalas de discretização, enquanto utiliza a abordagem descontínua somente na macro escala. A micro escala é modelada através de funções bolha (funções polinomiais que se anulam na fronteira dos elementos), permitindo a aplicação do processo de condensação estática em cada elemento. A discretização do modelo numérico resulta em um sistema global de equações associado aos pontos nodais apenas da macro escala. Para avaliar as propriedades de estabilidade e convergência do esquema proposto, foram realizados alguns experimentos numéricos e comparados com o método de Galerkin descontínuo clássico. A formulação proposta mostrou-se eficiente em eliminar as oscilações espúrias que aparecem nas regiões de gradientes elevados em problemas com convecção/reação dominantes. Além disso, o método apresentou taxas ótimas de convergência.
APPLICATION OF MITOCHONDRIAL DNA (mt DNA) IN FORENSICS
Authors: Singh Vandana Kumari , Jahan Farhat
Published: July 2024

The DNA proling is an essential forensic technique in criminal investigations and civil cases. DNA acts as decisive evidence in forensic science.
DNA proling primarily focuses on genomic (nuclear) DNA but besides genomic DNA, mitochondrial DNA analysis also plays an important role
in forensics. Mitochondria are the organelles responsible for producing cellular energy with respect to ATP and regarded as power House of cells.
The mitochondrial DNA is found in the matrix of the mitochondria. The specic and interesting characteristic feature of mitochondrial DNA is that
it is inherited from the mother only, as at the time of fertilization sperm only contributes its nucleus, not its mitochondria so the only available
Mitochondria that of the mother's and the zygote contains the mother's mitochondria. so that it is helpful to solve maternal-related cases. We can
analyze a variety of forensic samples of mt DNA such as hair shafts, old bones and teeth, teeth or other biological samples with low DNA content. A
cell contains only one-two genomic DNA but contains many mitochondria as well as approximate 1000 mtDNA. So in the damaged or degraded
DNA samples that have low nuclear DNA quantity, mtDNA is used. The use of mitochondrial DNA to trace family lineages, solve criminal cases,
and decipher historical puzzles has now come to the forefront. In this article, we have focused on various case studies, once unanswerable, but now
solved with the help of mitochondrial DNA analysis.

Introduction: A major healthcare threat emerged in the form of corona virus towards the end of 2019 (COVID-19). Apparently,the novel corona
virus (SARS-CoV-2) was capable of spreading and dysregulating the immune mechanisms. The likelihood of developing pulmonary candidiasis
wasmore in COVID-19 positive patients,who werehospitalized for long duration of time. Aim: This study aims to report the candidal lung co
infection in COVID-19 patients,who were admitted in critical care unit and to rule out the anti fungal susceptibility pattern in respect with Candida
species found in those patients. Short term hospital based observational study. Material and Methods: Study Design: Study Population:
Patients with positive reports for COVID 19, diagnosed by RT PCR method, admitted in the critical care unit (CCU) of a medical college and
hospital. In this short term hospital based observational study Broncho Alveolar Lavage (BAL) samples,of COVID-19 positive patients, who were
diagnosed by RT PCR method and admitted to respiratory care unit and followed up in critical care unit of a medical college and hospital, who were
suspected as pulmonary candidiasis by chest computed tomography (CT) were collected aseptically followed by ICMR guidelines .Species
identication was performed by VITEK-2 automated system and also anti fungal susceptibility testing of Fluconazole, Voriconazole,
Amphotericin B, Caspofungin, Micafungin and Flucytosine was performed. Results: Among 350 patients, who were admitted with COVID-19,
18 patients were micro biologically diagnosed as pulmonary candidiasis. The predominant species was Candida albicans followed by Candida
glabrata, Candida tropicalis and Candida parapsilosis. In anti fungal susceptibility test 1 isolate displayed multi drug resistance and another4
isolates showed resistant and intermediate pattern of drug sensitivity. Conclusion: This study claries some concern regarding the occurrence of
pulmonary candidiasis in COVID-19 patients. As the study was done from microbiological aspect, this study will help to understand the anti fungal
drug susceptibility pattern and further management of pulmonary candidiasis in COVID-19 patients. Though further studies should be conducted
to design an appropriate prophylaxis programme and improve management of pulmonary candidiasis in critically ill COVID-19 patients.

Inguinal hernias in women are relatively rare compared to men. All the more due to its varied presentations it is much more difcult to diagnose
sometimes presenting only with pain. The aim of this study was to discuss the management of female inguinal hernias in adults. This was a
retrospective study of adult females age>18 years who had undergone inguinal hernia repair over a 4-year period between 2019 to 2023. The age,
presenting symptoms, side of the hernia, interval between symptom and presentation, interval between presentation and surgery, operative
procedure performed, intra-operative nding/content of the hernia sac, post-operative complications, and duration of hospital stay and outcome of
treatment were assessed. A total of 26 cases of inguinal hernia repairs were undertaken during the study period. Out of this number, 16 were taken as
elective cases, 4 as emergency cases and 6 as semi-emergency cases. 13 cases had omentum as content, 10 as small bowel, 2 as ovary and one as
Appendix. Hernioplasty was performed in 19 cases while Hernioraphy was done in 4 cases and a combined Herniorraphy with Hernioplasty in 3
cases. Surgical site infection was the most common post-operative complication. Inguinal hernias in females may not be as common as inguinal
hernias in males, but they pose a signicant challenge both in diagnosis as well as in treatment. We require still more reporting and coordination to

The qualities of meat during storage are deteriorated by microbial growth, oxidation and enzymatic autolysis. Garlic and ginger are recipes used in meat product preparation as antimicrobial and antioxidant substances. .A total of sixty 6-week old broiler chickens were sacrificed and meat removed from the breast muscle where meat chunks were randomly distributed into six treatments. Treatments comprised of shredded meat prepared with a standard recipe containing ginger and garlic (SR-GaG), standard recipe without ginger and garlic (mGaG), standard recipe with ginger (pGin), standard recipe with roselle (pRos), standard recipe with garlic (pGar) and standard recipe with vitamin E (pvE) replacing ginger and garlic respectively. Data were obtained for Moisture, Crude Protein, CP, Crude Fat, CF, Ash, Thiobarbituric Reactive Substances, TBARS) for 0, 7 and 14days refrigerated (4oC) storage including Total Bacterial Count (TBC), Total Fungi Count (TFC) and Total Coliform Count(TCC) for 7, 14 and 21 days refrigerated storage. Data were subjected to analysis of variance using IBM SPSS version 21.. Reduced (p < 0.05) moisture content was observed in group mGaG followed closely by pGin group over 14 days of storage. Significantly higher (p < 0.05) CP was recorded in pGin and pvE groups. Reduced (p < 0.05) CF was observed in pvE group at 7thday while pRos group showed reduced CF among the phytogenics and through the storage periods. The TBARS of pGin, pRos, and pGar reduced (p <0.05) along storage periods. The TBC, TCC, and TFC significantly reduced for shredded meat (mGaG and pGin) while elevated values were observed for other treatments across the storage periods. Listeria salivarius and Micrococcus varians were isolated in SR-GaG throughout the storage periods. Therefore, single addition of ginger and garlic to recipe of shredded meat is recommended for oxidative stability, improved meat quality and meat preservation.

Paphiopedilum is one of the most widely grown and hybridized of all orchid genera due to its distinctive flower morphology. This genus consists of 139 accepted species and is native to southern China to tropical Asia. Karyological studies on the genus Paphiopedilum have been reported by many cytologists in different countries. However, many Indonesian members of Paphiopedilum have remained comparatively limited in investigated cytologically. This study aimed to analyze karyological characters of four species of Paphiopedilum collected in the Bogor Botanical Garden, Indonesia, namely P. armeniacum, P. hirsutissimum, P. primulinum, and P. superbiens. Karyological studies were conducted by root tips squash method. The results showed that four species of Paphiopedilum have a basic chromosome number of x = 15. They are diploid with 2n=30, instead of the common diploid chromosome number of Paphiopedilum (2n = 26). Paphiopedilum hirsutissimum and P. primulinum possess 16 m + 14 sm chromosome formulae. Whereas Paphiopedilum armeniacum and P. superbiens revealed 16 m + 14 sm and 18 m + 12 sm chromosome formulae, respectively.A Robertsonian change in chromosome number generated by the fission of chromosomes would best explain the origin of the new diploid chromosome number and karyotypes of these species.
Meiotic behavior during microsporogenesis, responsible for male sterility in some species of Salvia sect. Aethiopis in Iran
Authors: Hajmoradi Fatemeh
Published: July 2024

The genus Salvia L. (Lamiaceae: tribe Mentheae) contains about 1000 species. Section Aethiopis in this genus has a distribution in the Mediterranean and central Asia and contains about 34 species in Iran. This study aimed to investigate the chromosome number and meiotic behavior in five species of Salvia sect. Aethiopis. To this end, pollen mother cells were used, and the squash method was employed. The results showed that S. persepolitana and S. spinosa had a chromosome number of 2n=2x=20, while S. sclarea, S. hypoleuca, and S. limbata had a chromosome number of 2n=2x=22. The study of meiotic behavior revealed the presence of abnormalities such as chromosome stickiness, cytomixis, non-synchronous segregation, chromosome bridges, laggard chromosomes, formation of micronuclei in tetrad cells, formation of tripolar cells, and pentapolar with different frequencies in the studied species. The meiotic index was reported as the highest in S. persepolitana and the lowest in S. hypoleuca. Pollen fertility was also affected by meiotic abnormalities, showing a decreasing trend from S. persepolitana to S. spinose. Meiotic abnormalities may have played a role in the evolution of aneuploidy and polyploidy in the Salvia genus.

Herbs, as the pomegranate (Punica granatum L.)(P. granatum), has significant chemical constituents with distinct pharmacological properties. These chemicals confer neuroprotective, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties to the plant. Pomegranate has specific components that enable its pharmacological actions; one of the functions of pomegranate extracts is to deactivate what is called extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) that makes Escherichia coli (E. coli) resistant to standard antibiotics. Twenty E. coli strains identified as beta-lactamase producers, the strains isolated from urine samples collected from patients with symptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI) and molecularly characterised using 16S rDNA. The study evaluated the antibiotic sensitivity and antibacterial activities of acetone and ethanolic pomegranate leaf and peel extracts, assessing their antimicrobial susceptibility against nineteen antibiotics. The ehanolic peel (EP) and leave (EL) extracts showed inhibitory potential inhibition zones spanning (9.0-12.6-18.3 mm) against E. coli pathogen producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamase as compared with (10.2-15.3 mm) inhibition scale exhibited by acetone peel (AP) and leave (AL) extracts treatment. Pomegranate leaves and peel extracts contain bioactive compounds with antioxidant, antimicrobial, and other biological effects, and can be fractionated for the identification of new antibacterial bioactive compounds for the development of drugs against ESBL- E. coli, in addition to their synergy with antibiotics for combination therapy that may have effective management and treatment of multidrug-resistant infections such as urinary tract infection.
An account of chromosomal damage in PMCs of stripe rust infected barley
Authors: Singh Vivek
Published: July 2024

A study, on the effects of natural mild fungal infection on meiosis of Barley Pollen Mother Cells (PMCs), was done in order to analyze the chromosomal damage elicited by the pathogenic conditions. A pattern similar to common mutagens, of reduction in mitotic index and chiasma frequency, as well as, production of various aberrations that demonstrate chromosomal damage, was observed. The most common abnormalities were un-orientation and other spindle related aberrations, as well as stickiness and clumping of chromosomes. The disease induced a reduction in pollen viability as compared to the control plants. The results were compared with those of a high dose of a known mutagen ie gamma rays in order to draw commonalities between the two conditions.
