Humans have a characteristic of imitative behavior, including children. Good or bad behavior, good or bad behavior, good or bad habits, are all formed in the social environment (home). Where this can happen due to children's observations of their parents. We must understand the management of emotions in children properly. Because it could be that the emotions conveyed by children are an affirmation or confirmation of the behavior that we as parents exemplify or the application of what we teach. Parents do have more experience than children so they teach their children what they have experienced or know. From the results of the study, it was found that there are still many parents who do not properly capture their children's emotions. So that good emotional management for children has not been achieved. Neutralizing emotions in this child was ultimately chosen as material used for community service activities. With the aim that parents know so they can properly capture their children's emotions. Apart from that, it is also hoped that there will be no incidents of parental violence towards children. This community service was carried out in Rangkah Kidul Village, Sidoarjo. Attended by parents of kindergarten and elementary school students. The activity was carried out in 1 day with a preparation time of 5 weeks. The activity ran smoothly with a total of 56 parents invited and 46 parents attending

Published: June 2024

Background: The most common complications in Diabetes Mellitus patients are foot problems and high risk for amputation. Factors that trigger problems in diabetic feet in the form of neuropathy factors, namely loss of sensory nerve function and circulatory disorders. One of the non-pharmacological therapies to prevent these problems is safe Neuromuscular Taping (NMT) which is applied to the skin with elastic plaster through a decompression method to prevent a decrease in peripheral blood circulation and improve blood circulation. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the comparison of the effectiveness of Neuromuscular Taping (NMT) intervention on microvascular circulation which was assessed by Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) measurement in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental research design with a pretest-posttest control group approach. The number of respondents to this study was 60 type 2 DM patients divided into treatment group respondents and control group respondents. The intervention group was given NMT intervention for 2 weeks with daily plaster changes while the control group was given standard foot care education. The data collected is an ABPI score that describes microvascular circulation using a sphygmomanometer. Analysis was carried out using paired sample t-tests which were used to determine the effectiveness of the intervention. Results: Based on the results of the study, significant changes were obtained in the microvascular circulation of the treatment group (p = 0.000) α 0.05 which is the category of normal microvascular circulation or no disturbance. Increased microvascular circulation is caused by the application of NMT for 2 weeks.  Conclusion: There was an increase in microvascular circulation seen through changes in Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) values before and after Neuromuscular Taping (NMT) intervention. There were significant differences between the intervention and control groups in changes in ABPI scores.

Background: The many cases of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrom (AIDS) in Indonesia within the age range of 25-49 years. Teenagers who are infected by HIV-AID in Indonesia shows an increasing number, misinformation and ignorance in teenagers are among the major causes of those increase. Teenagers are on a high risk since they have the tendency of involving in short term relationships with numerous partners. Therefore, to prevent further increase on the case, teenagers need to expand their source of informations and increase their knowledge n the matter. Researchers focused on studying the impact of source of informations towards the teenagers’ knowledge. Objective: to find out the co-relations between source of informations towards teenagers’ knowledge in a high school in in West Java. Method: Quantitative descriptive with cross sectional design. The number of samples taken are 99 respondents with purposive sampling technique and the statistic test using Chi Square test. Result: shows that there was significant correlations between the source of information on teenagers’ knowledge on HIV/AIDS with p-value 0,000. There is a significant impact between sources of information towards teenagers’ knowledge on HIV/AIDS. Conclusion: Increased knowledge on HIV-AID and understanding the steps on how to prevent the transmission became very important to encourage the teenagers to avoid getting infected by HIV/AIDS

An experiment was conducted to determine feed digestibility and egg laying performance of layer chickens fed diets containing boiled false yam tuber meal (BFYTM). The false yam tubers were peeled with a knife and chopped into small chips (~2 cm), boiled for 2 hours in boiling water, sun-dried to a moisture content of about 12% and ground into a gritty meal. The BFYTM replaced maize at dietary levels of 0, 50, 75 and 100 g/kg in maize-fishmeal based diets. At 20 weeks of age, 16 Lohmann brown layer chickens were randomly allotted to the four dietary treatments in a Completely Randomized Design, with one hen per cage for the digestibility trials using the total collection method. At 19 weeks of age, 240 Lohmann brown pullets were randomly allotted to the four dietary treatments and fed diets containing BFYTM which replaced maize at dietary levels of 0, 50, 75 and 100 g/kg in maize-fishmeal based diets for 16 weeks. Each treatment replicated four times in a Completely Randomized Design, with initial mean live weight of 1.45 kg per bird per replicate. The birds were housed in deep litter pens. Feed and water were provided ad libitum from 19 to 35 weeks of age. Data collected were subjected to one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) using GenStat. There was no significant (p>0.05) difference in the dry matter digestibility among treatment groups. The crude protein digestibility was not significantly (p>0.05) different between control birds and birds fed 50 g/kg BFYTM diet, but higher (p<0.05) than those birds fed diets containing 75 and 100 g/kg BFYTM diets. Hens on the 50 g/kg BFYTM diets exhibited a higher (p<0.05) fat digestibility than those on the control diet and their counterparts fed the 75 and 100 g/kg BFYTM diets. Ash digestibility was lower (p<0.05) for birds fed the control diets than those birds fed BFYTM based diets, but similar (p>0.05) ash digestibility was recorded within the diets containing BFYTM. Mean feed intake of the hens was similar (p>0.05) for all treatments. Mean egg weight and mortality were not significantly different (p>0.05) among treatments. Mean hen-day egg production, egg mass and feed efficiency of the control birds were higher (p<0.05) than those of their counterparts fed the BFYTM-based diets. Based on this study, it can be concluded that 50 g/kg BFYTM in the diet of layer chickens had no adverse effect on nutrient digestibility of feed, but had adverse effect on egg production.

The study investigated the quality of bread produced from blends of wheat and acha flours complemented with defatted bambara groundnut flour (DBGNF). Chemical composition, physicochemical properties and sensory evaluation were carried out on the breads while the flour blends were assessed for functional properties. DBGNF was incorporated into wheat-acha flour blends at 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25% respectively with 100% wheat and acha flour breads as controls. Moisture, crude protein, crude fibre, and ash content of the breads increased from 24.17 to 27.20, 11.69 to 13.12, 0.26 to 0.77 and 1.06 to 1.19% respectively while crude fat and carbohydrate content decreased from 8.67 to 7.66% and 54.20 to 50.20% with increased level of DBGNF. Phosphorus and iron increased from 162.2 to 229.82 and 0.87 to 1.24 mg/100g whereas zinc decreased from 0.52 to 0.09 mg/100g with addition of DBGNF. Phenol, flavonoid and carotenoid contents decreased from 45.50 to 41.96, 28.74 to 19.68 and 0.20 to 0.02 mg/100g respectively. The foaming, emulsifying, swelling, water and oil absorption capacity of the flour blends increased while bulk density decreased with addition. Vitamins B1 and B2 content decreased with increasing DBGNF inclusion. The loaf weight increased while loaf volume and loaf volume index decreased with increasing level of DBGNF. Bread sample containing 10% DBGNF was not significantly different from the 100% wheat bread in terms of sensory attributes. The research showed that the addition of DBGNF improved the functional quality and nutrient composition of the composite bread and the sample containing 10% DBGNF was the most preferred.

Un aspecto importante en la ciencia es la replicabilidad de los resultados científicos. En este artículo se examinan algunas causas fundamentales que contribuyen a la falta de replicabilidad, centrando el análisis en un componente crucial: la estadística y la inferencia selectiva. Partiendo de los desafíos inherentes a las pruebas de hipótesis múltiples en situaciones de alta dimensionalidad, una estrategia para abordar la problemática de la replicabilidad se basa en la implementación del modelo-X de imitaciones. Esta metodología se destaca por generar variables sintéticas que imitan a las originales, permitiendo diferenciar de manera efectiva entre asociaciones genuinas y espurias, y controlando de manera simultánea la tasa de falsos descubrimientos en entornos de muestras finitas. Los aspectos técnicos del modelo-X de imitaciones se describen en este trabajo, subrayando sus alcances y limitaciones. Se enfatiza la efectividad de esta metodología con casos de éxito, tales como la estimación de la pureza en tumores, el análisis de asociación genómica, la identificación de factores pronósticos en ensayos clínicos, la determinación de factores de riesgo asociados al COVID-19 de larga duración, y la selección de variables en estudios de tasa de criminalidad. Estos ejemplos concretos ilustran la preponderante utilidad práctica y la versatilidad del modelo-X de imitaciones en diversas áreas de investigación. Sin lugar a dudas, este enfoque contribuye de manera original a los desafíos actuales en cuanto a la replicabilidad, marcando un hito significativo en la mejora de la confiabilidad y robustez de la evidencia científica.

Published: June 2024

Genu varum is a Latin term used to describe bow legs. It is a common finding in the pediatric population with a large differential spectrum which includes but not limited to Blount’s disease, rickets, Post infective & post traumatic physeal injuries and physiologic bowing of the legs. The femoral intercondylar distance between the two knees is increased in this condition and it can have a unilateral or bilateral involvement. In the case of genu varum, the mechanical axis falls more inside beyondthe middle ofthe knee joint and the joint undergoes an increased non-physiological stress which can affect both the articular cartilage of the knee and its ligaments. Here we present a case of a 3 year old girl with severe varus deformity of both lower legs which was successfully managed with Brace based correction technique in the lower limbs.
