Authors: Hikmawan Siregar Yusdithira Rifqhy , Purba Mauly , Nasution Ikhwanuddin
Published: January 2024

Coffee dominates into the sphere of association and social life. The presence of coffee shops in recent years is also one of the factors of the phenomenon of drinking coffee, such as the form of campaigns that affect the mindset of social communities. The research method used to research Coffee Mantras in Gayo land is the Qualitative descriptive method. This research involves various types of disciplines, both from humanitarian, social, or natural sciences. There are several theories about the origin of the Gayo Tribe. Local people believe that the name Gayo comes from the word pegayon which means a source of clear water where sacred fish and crabs are located. One version says the origin of the Gayo Tribe is related to the Linge Kingdom which was founded around 416 Hijri or 1025 AD. As a result of the excavation of these ancient sites, prehistoric human skeletons were found. After scientific research, the human skeleton found, ranging in age from 3,580 to 4,400 years. Mantra Kopi in the point of view of the Gayo people, is a form of oral literature that will never be abandoned. They believe that with coffee that is spelled or chanted will bring good things

Investment Incentives and Effective Corporate Tax Rate for Manufacturing Firms in Kenya
Authors: Nganyi Silas Muyela , Koori Jeremiah , Abdul Farida
Published: January 2024

Effective corporate tax rate is a finance subject of interest to firms, policy makers and researchers. It measures level of tax burden at firm level. Thus, governments implement various investment incentives to influence effective corporate tax rate. The effective corporate tax rate in Kenya is still a problem averaging 31.3 percent for the last 10 years. Such high effective corporate tax rate militates against desired competitive corporate environment for the manufacturing sector. In the last ten years, the manufacturing sector has deteriorated to 7.4 percent contribution to gross domestic product which is less than 15 percent as envisaged in Kenya Vision 2030. This undesirable phenomenon prompted design of this study. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of investment incentives on effective corporate tax rate. The study adopted positivist philosophy and longitudinal research design. A sample of 278 firms provided secondary data for the period 2010 to 2020. Descriptive and inferential statistics were conducted using panel data regression. The study established that investment incentives are statistically significant predictors of effective corporate tax rate for manufacturing firms in Kenya. The study recommends that public policy makers should design appropriate profit based, capital investment and custom duty incentives as part of fiscal policy instruments to grow firms involved in manufacturing. The study has added to finance knowledge that fiscal policy affects corporate operations. However, there is need for further investigation on other possible investment incentives that were not covered in this study that influence effective corporate tax.

Vías de Evacuación e Infraestructura Crítica para la Gestión del Riesgo de Tsunamis en la ciudad de La Serena, Chile
Authors: Villagrán Carolina-Pía , Soto María-Victoria
Published: January 2024

Desde la década del noventa, la ciudad de La Serena, capital de la Región de Coquimbo, ha presentado un continuo proceso de expansión urbana, siendo especialmente notorio en la zona costera. El cambio de uso del suelo fue muy rápido, desde el agrícola a condominios, hotelería y construcciones en altura, predominantemente. La expansión urbana en la costa ha incrementado la exposición ante amenazas naturales, como marejadas y tsunami. En relación a tsunamis, existen estudios que desarrollan proyecciones sobre la ocurrencia potencial de terremotos tsunamigénicos, con foco cercano. Ello constituye un escenario crítico que permite hacer un replanteamiento de la planificación ante riesgos, como también de la infraestructura crítica ante la respuesta. En este contexto, se realiza una evaluación del funcionamiento de las vías de evacuación existentes, además de la relación con diversas variables territoriales asociadas, bajo una perspectiva multidimensional y multiescalar, utilizando Sistemas de Información Geográfico y trabajo de campo, para lograr un escenario o modelo territorial, que permita priorizar acciones y así, aportar a la planificación de la emergencia y a la gestión de riesgos de desastres a nivel local.
Big data mining and comparative analyses across lexica on the relationship between syllable complexity and word stress
Authors: Post da Silveira Amanda
Published: January 2024

For about four decades, phonological theories have claimed that word stress assignment depends on the word’s syllabic structure complexity in relation to syllabic position. This study analyzes the syllabic structure implications for word stress in three languages with weight-sensitive lexical stress, namely Brazilian Portuguese, British English, and American English. After creating three corpora and applying Random Forest modeling, syllabic structure distributions for word stress were found to be bound to stress pattern and word length in number of syllables. To account for these observations, models of word naming must be extended with aspects of word stress.
L2 stress discrimination by non-musicians and musicians playing wind or percussion instruments
Authors: Schwab Sandra , Pythoud Orianne
Published: January 2024

The present study explores the influence of music expertise on French-speaking listeners' ability to process L2 Spanish stress. Musicians playing wind or percussion instruments and non-musicians completed an Odd-One-Out task, where they heard three Spanish words presented in babble noise and were asked to detect the word with a different stress pattern. Results first showed that musicians (playing either wind or percussion instruments) outperformed non-musicians, confirming the advantage of music expertise in 'speech in noise' perception. Secondly, they revealed that percussionists – who, as rhythm experts, relied more on stress-related timing cues – performed better than musicians playing wind instruments – who, as pitch experts, were more sensitive to stress-related pitch cues – in detecting stress in Spanish words presented in babble noise. Finally, there was no evidence of the larger advantage of being a musician when processing L2 stress under perceptually challenging conditions. Taken together, our findings not only highlighted the benefits of music expertise in L2 stress perception, but also revealed that the type of music instruments played by the musicians also influences L2 stress discrimination performance.

Una conversión “olvidada”: Los proyectos de colonización y evangelización de las islas Marianas anteriores a la misión de Diego Luis de San Vítores, 1569-1603
Authors: Peña Filiu Verónica
Published: January 2024

Aunque las islas Marianas fueron incorporadas al Imperio español en 1565, su colonización no tuvo lugar hasta 1668, cuando un grupo de misioneros jesuitas liderados por Diego Luis de San Vítores se estableció en el archipiélago. Si bien el proyecto de San Vítores ha recibido una amplia atención historiográfica, no ha sido este el caso de las iniciativas que se plantearon con anterioridad. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar los proyectos de colonización y evangelización de las islas Marianas que existieron entre finales del siglo XVI y principios del siglo XVII. Para ello, se contextualizan y describen las propuestas que concibió la Corona y aquellas que realizaron diferentes religiosos, prestándose especial atención al proyecto del jesuita Raimundo de Prado. A partir de este análisis, el artículo concluye que lejos de ser acontecimientos de limitada trascendencia histórica, estos primeros proyectos configuraron la base teórica de la posterior colonización del archipiélago.

Authors: Magnuski Mikołaj , Średniawa Władysław , Paluch Katarzyna , Ivanovski Davor , Babu Harish , Kaminski Jan
Published: January 2024

In the area of electrophysiology, the availability of comprehensive and user‑friendly tools for single-neuron data processing, statistical analysis, and fast, intuitive data visualization is limited. To address this gap, we introduce pylabianca, a Python library tailored for robust single and multi‑unit data processing. Pylabianca leverages the power of standard Python packages and adopts the applicationprogramming interface of MNE‑Python, one of the most widely used electrophysiology packages. One of pylabianca’s primary objectives is to provide a low entry threshold for scientists, requiring only basic Python programming skills. Pylabianca was designed to streamline most common analyses of single neuron data, and provide convenient data structures to serve as a foundation for building custom analysis pipelines. We believe that pylabianca will contribute to enhancing researchers’ capabilities and efficiency in the field of single-neuron electrophysiology.
The less complex temporal patterns of resting‑state EEG activity, the lower the visual temporal order threshold
Authors: Lewandowska Monika , Tołpa Krzysztof , Hajnowski Marcin , Piotrowski Tomasz , Dreszer Joanna
Published: January 2024

Speech understanding, watching a movie, listening to music etc., requires perception of the temporal order of at least two incoming events. A history of performing these tasks may be reflected in spontaneous brain activity. Here, we examined the relationship between the complexity (temporal dynamics) of resting‑state EEG (rsEEG) signal, assessed using the multivariate MultiScale Entropy (mMSE) algorithm, and the perception of event ordering, indexed by a visual temporal order threshold (TOT), i.e., the minimum duration necessary to correctly identify the before‑after relation between two stimuli. Healthy adolescents and young adults performed a psychophysical task measuring the TOT and underwent an eyes‑closed rsEEG study. The features of mMSE vectors, namely the area under curve (AUC) that represents total signal complexity, as well as the MaxSlope and the AvgEnt, corresponding to the entropy at fine‑ and coarse‑grained timescales, respectively, were obtained for the central (midline), anterior, middle and posterior channel sets. The greater the AUC and AvgEnt values in the central, left and right posterior areas, and the higher AUC in the right middle region, the higher the TOT. The most significant relationships were found for the midline electrodes (Fz, Cz, Pz, Oz). There were no significant correlations between the MaxSlope values and the TOT. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study demonstrating that spontaneous EEG signal complexity is associated with the temporal order perception of two stimuli presented in rapid succession. Our findings may indicate that low total and coarse entropy levels of rsEEG signal are beneficial for visual temporal order judgments.

Published: January 2024

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a major neurodegenerative disease, affecting more than two third cases of dementia in the world. Non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used anti‑inflammatory analgesic agents representing 7.7% of worldwide prescriptions of which 90% are in patients over 65 years old. Based on mixed findings a systematic review and meta‑analysis were conducted to develop a better understanding of the protective role of NSAIDs in AD. We used three database PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase to identify the literatures. The studies following cohort and case‑control design were investigated separately to check the effect of NSAIDs on AD, by the using their fundamental indicators (relative risk and odds ratio). The fixed effect or random effects model were used to estimate the pooled relative risk and pooled odds ratio separately for both the study design, based on magnitude of heterogeneity. A total of 14 studies were selected for meta‑analysis. Eight studies were following cohort study design, whereas, six studies were following case‑control study design. In meta‑analysis of cohort studies, the pooled relative risk was 0.67 with 95% C.I 0.39 to 1.15, which was statistically insignificant. In meta‑analysis of case‑control studies, the pooled odds ratio was 0.71 with 95% C.I 0.46 to 1.10, which was statistically insignificant. NSAIDs do not act as a protective factor for Alzheimer’s disease. Additionally, methodologically sound randomized controlled trials are required to produce a robust result.
Glymphatic system and aquaporin‑4 in epilepsy
Authors: Nowicka Dorota
Published: January 2024

Over the past decade glymphatic concept has gained more and more interest. Despite some lacking data regarding structural and functional aspects, glymphatic system is widely considered the main mechanism of water and solutes transport in brain parenchyma, as well as waste clearance from the brain. Glymphatic system modulates the extracellular space volume and is involved in spatial K+ buffering (via influencing Kir4.1 channel functioning), two factors crucial for neuronal excitability and seizure susceptibility, and is itself strongly stimulated during sleep. This review summarizes information regarding the potential role of the glymphatic system in the development and progression of epilepsy, especially the role of the glial water channel aquaporin‑4 in modulation of brain excitability and in epilepsy. Data from animal models and human studies are presented.
Los Derechos Constitucionales de los Trabajadores: La estabilidad laboral en el Ecuador
Authors: Espinosa Cadena José Antonio , Barrionuevo Núñez José Luis
Published: January 2024

El Ecuador, al ser un Estado constitucional de derechos y justicia, protege y garantiza los derechos de todos los trabajadores, puesto que, a través de este se pueden efectivizar otros derechos fundamentales que forman parte de los derechos del buen vivir consagrados en la Constitución de la República del Ecuador; sin embargo, en la práctica se observa que existe una inobservancia a los derechos laborales siendo uno de ellos la estabilidad laboral, que se vulnera por parte de los empleadores que forman parte de la nómina del sector público o privado, debido a que se limitan el ejercicio de este derecho convirtiéndole en renunciable, aspecto que no está permitido por las disposiciones constitucionales y legales del ordenamiento jurídico nacional; esto surge, por diferentes factores como: la falta de control de las autoridades competentes sobre el ambiente de trabajo y las formas legales para dar por terminada la relación laboral, el abuso de poder económico y social por parte del empleador, deficiencia de mecanismos jurídicos y políticas públicas para proteger el derecho a la estabilidad laboral. Por lo expuesto el objetivo central de la presente investigación es analizar la forma en que se desarrolla el derecho constitucional a la estabilidad laboral en el Ecuador. Para el efecto la metodología que se utilizó tuvo un enfoque cualitativo, de tipo descriptivo, explicativo, mediante el método bibliográfico-documental y analítico, lo cual permitió realizar el análisis de una sentencia No 03204-2019-00423 de la Corte Nacional de Justicia, en donde se evidencia una irrenunciabilidad de derechos laborales por la falta de normativa legal que proteja el derecho a la estabilidad laboral.

Published: January 2024

Dada a enorme gama de biodiversidade nativa presente na Amazônia, é possível enriquecer produtos amplamente consumidos na região com produtos e subprodutos nativos, a exemplo de, superfrutas como o camu-camu [Myrciaria dubia (Kunth) McVaugh], que tem propriedades organolépticas, funcionais e agroindustriais desejáveis. Produtos à base do aproveitamento integral de vegetais nativos podem contribuir com a qualidade nutricional e a segurança alimentar regional, desde que atendam às normas reguladoras. Desta forma, objetivou-se formular farinhas de mandioca (Manihot esculenta Crantz) enriquecidas com protótipos de farinha de frutos e resíduos de camu-camu, gerados na produção de polpa e suco, visando obtenção de alimento enriquecido e estável, que possa ser consumido de diferentes formas. Os camu-camu utilizados neste experimento foram coletados manualmente em março de 2018, em uma área natural às margens do Lago da Morena, no município de Cantá, Roraima, Brasil. Os frutos foram acondicionados em sacos plásticos e dispostos em caixas de isopor, cobertos com gelo e transportados para o laboratório de Pós-colheita e Agroindustrialização da Embrapa Roraima. Utilizou-se delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, em esquema fatorial duplo (3 matérias-primas x 5 concentrações em farinha de mandioca d’água), totalizando 15 tratamentos. Os dados foram validados estatisticamente por meio de análise de variância (0,05). Verificou-se efeito significativo nas interações da maioria das variáveis estudadas. Os protótipos de farinhas de camu-camu desidratados são ácidos, baixo conteúdo de água, com tonalidade amarela e laranja, textura farinácea e consideráveis teores de sólidos solúveis e ácidos cítrico e ascórbico. A farinha de mandioca d’água quando enriquecida com os protótipos de farinhas de camu-camu, apresenta incremento significativo (0,05) na cor, teor de sólidos totais e solúveis, além de ácidos antioxidantes, como o ascórbico e cítrico. Acredita-se que, os protótipos de farinhas de camu-camu aqui avaliados têm potencial para contribuir com o enriquecimento de outras farinhas e alimentos com boa aceitação local, regional e internacional.

Published: January 2024

Um eletrodo de pasta de carbono modificado com ftalocianina de cobalto(II) (CoPc/CPE) foi desenvolvido para determinação de tiamina (vitamina B1) em produtos farmacêuticos por voltametria de pulso diferencial. Diversos parâmetros foram estudados para a otimização do sensor, como composição do eletrodo, solução eletrolítica, pH, taxa de varredura potencial, amplitude de pulso e interferências no potencial. As condições otimizadas encontradas foram: composição do eletrodo (em massa) de 20% de CoPc, 55% de pó de grafite e 25% de parafina sólida, em solução de hidróxido de sódio 1,0x10-2 mol l-1 (pH 12), taxa de varredura de 20 mV s-1 e amplitude de pulso de 100 mV. A oxidação eletroquímica da vitamina B1 foi acompanhada em um potencial de pico de 0,13 V versus um eletrodo de referência Ag/AgCl (3,0 mol l-1 KCl). As curvas analíticas foram lineares nas faixas de concentração de 1,9x10-4 a 7,4x10-4 mol l-1 para vitamina. Os limites de detecção foram 8,4x10-5 mol l-1 para vitamina B1 e a recuperação de vitamina B1 das três amostras variou de 97,3 a 103% da quantidade adicionada. Os desvios padrão relativos foram inferiores a 2,5% para soluções 3,0x10-4 e 4,0x10-4 mol l-1 desta vitamina e os resultados obtidos para vitamina B1 em amostras farmacêuticas utilizando o procedimento voltamétrico proposto estão em estreita concordância com aqueles obtidos por o método oficial com um nível de confiança de 95%.

Published: January 2024

Este texto apresenta como ponto de partida a nossa experiência e imersão na escola. O nosso objetivo foi o de analisar, por meio do cinema, os efeitos das generificações dos corpos nas aulas de Educação Física, nas dimensões culturais e percepções de mundos de discentes e docentes. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa em uma instituição de ensino pertencente à rede estadual do Rio de Janeiro no ano de 2017. Utilizamos uma abordagem qualitativa pautada em estudos antropológicos abrangendo revisão bibliográfica, análise cinematográfica e trabalho de campo. Por meio da pesquisa realizada, identificamos que, a Educação Física ao se agenciar como um dispositivo para estabelecer um percurso linear, fundamentado estritamente em uma perspectiva biológica, muitas vezes, atua como um mecanismo de normalização, hierarquização e generificação dos corpos. Problematizamos ao longo desse trabalho a importância de (re-)pensar: a formação dos profissionais dessa área pelo viés da transformação política, ética, estética e prática para permitir a estes afirmarem todas as manifestações de diversidade existencial; e os processos de ensino a partir de vivências que sejam propiciadas aos alunos a compreensão do mundo por meio de variadas modalidades sensoriais, instigando as memórias corporais, revitalizando a prática do brincar e o estímulo à criatividade.

Authors: Noor Rico Septian , Hamzani Achmad Irwan , Widyastuti Tiyas Vika , Kristanto Kiki , Fransisco
Published: January 2024

Objective: Gender equality is an important issue that the government frequently overlooks. Gender equality does not imply that women must be equal to men, but rather that women have the same rights, responsibilities, and opportunities as men in various fields. The facts show that Indigenous Women, as marginalized people, continue to face various injustices and discrimination in various parts of the world, including Indonesia. This paper attempted to analyze various problems and efforts to achieve gender equality for indigenous women in Indonesia in accordance with the principles agreed upon by Indonesia in the Sustainable Development Goals in 2030.
 
Method: This study is a type of descriptive qualitative research in which various qualitative data obtained from the study literature were examined and then described descriptively in order to reach a conclusion.
 
Result: The results of the study concluded that gender equality, particularly for indigenous women in Indonesia, had not been properly implemented because the division of inheritance, position, and political rights of indigenous women in various regions of Indonesia had not shown justice. Indonesia also still has some unresolved tasks until now, for example, the policy of strengthening international principles to protect indigenous peoples and indigenous women such as the principle of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) and the Ratification of the Bill on Indigenous Peoples which is expected to accommodate indigenous women's rights in Indonesia.
 
Conclusion: Based on the discussion above, it can be concluded that gender equality has not been properly implemented in Indonesia, particularly for indigenous women, because research findings show that the division of inheritance, position and political rights of indigenous women in various regions of Indonesia has not received justice. Indonesia also has several responsibilities that have yet to be completed, such as policies to strengthen international principles to protect indigenous peoples and indigenous women.

Inadequate practices, especially in private healthcare facilities, reveal issues like insufficient training and neglect of waste segregation. The current BMW treatment at PGIMER relies on incineration, posing health risks. The study highlights the city's ecosystem and public health impact due to poor waste management. Encouraging proper disposal practices for recyclable waste is crucial. Over 3.5 months, the study measures BMW production, estimating 3500 kg/day in the city. Major contributors include PGIMER, GMCH-32, and GMSH-16. Population growth and urbanization contribute to increasing BMW production. The lack of waste minimization efforts underscores the need for monitoring systems, especially in private facilities. Recommendations include efficient waste minimization, training programs, and awareness campaigns to address BMW management urgently and protect public health and the environment in Chandigarh.
Alarmist, Coercive and Convenient: Midwives’ Stories of Justifications for Induction of Labour
Authors: Ormsby Dr Simone
Published: January 2024

In Australia, induction of labour rates have risen to 34% overall, with 41% of primiparous women now having their labours induced. Rationales predominantly focus on reduction of perinatal mortality risks with little consideration of physical and psychological impacts on women and babies. While guidelines recommend obtaining informed consent before induction, reports from midwives and women suggest this is not always the case, rather some women are being coerced into making decisions that are not fully informed, leading to regret and birth trauma. Using social media, we examined midwives’ observations of what women were told as reasons for induction of labour.

In June 2023, the New South Wales (NSW) Upper House launched a Select Committee inquiry into birth trauma. Public submissions were sought and over a period of weeks. There were over 4,000 submissions from individuals and organisations. This was followed by four days of public hearings in Sydney, Wollongong and Wagga Wagga, where the Select Committee heard from a variety of women sharing their birth trauma stories, plus consumer activist organisations and representatives from NSW Health. In this article, I give a first-hand, reflective account including an overview of the inquiry and how it ultimately impacts midwives. This article has been independently reviewed prior to publication.
How It Works 2: The Discussion for Upright Birth
Authors: Tucker Constance M
Published: January 2024

Midwives and those working in maternity care will attest to the benefits of upright birthing positions over recumbent positions. Upright positioning during labour has been associated with improved birthing efforts and fetal positioning by allowing improved movements of the fetus and opening up or allowing expansion through the pelvis resulting in a shorter second stage of labour.1 In upright positions the mother or birthing person’s shoulders and head are above the pelvis and many attribute this position as ‘gravity assisted birth’. In traditional obstetric applications, positions might be more related to the practitioner’s improved access or monitoring purposes during labour and birth. These positions are not considered upright: recumbent or lithotomy, both which place the person on their back, typically with legs up or supported. Arguably these positions may be associated with a closed pelvis, increased pressure on the coccyx, or reduced ability for the fetus to navigate the pelvis.2,3

Anemia defisiensi besi merupakan anemia yang paling umum diderita oleh masyarakat di dunia terutama pada kelompok rentan seperti balita, anak-anak, ibu hamil dan menyusui, dan wanita subuh. Anemia defisiensi besi disebabkan karena kurangnya kadar zat besi di dalam tubuh sehingga tubuh tidak mampu mensintesis hemoglobin dan proses eritropoiesis terganggu. Hal ini menyebabkan kondisi menurunnya kadar hemoglobin dan eritrosit di dalam tubuh manusia. Kekurangan zat besi di dalam tubuh disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor antara lain: (1) rendahnya sumber zat besi, (2) gangguan penyerapan zat besi, (3) hilangnya darah dari tubuh, (4) gangguan pada transfer zat besi dan pengenalan zat besi yang mempengaruhi defisit besi, (5) gangguan hemostasis besi, serta (6) gangguan penyakit kronis. Status gizi masyarakat, faktor endemik penyakit, ketersediaan layanan kesehatan, hingga pola asuh dan gaya hidup sangat berpengaruh pada tingkat penderita anemia defisiensi besi. Anemia defisiensi besi digolongkan dalam 3 kategori yaitu defisiensi ringan, marginal, dan Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA). Anemia defisiensi besi dapat menyebabkan komplikasi seperti kardiomiopati dengan gagal jantung kongestif, depresi, dan komplikasi kehamilan. Pengetahuan tentang anemia defisiensi besi sangat diperlukan untuk dapat mencegah terjadinya anemia defisiensi besi dan komplikasi yang terjadi di masyarakat.

Anemia adalah masalah kesehatan global yang mempengaruhi lebih dari 1,74 miliar orang di seluruh dunia, termasuk 305 juta anak usia sekolah. Anak-anak usia 5-14 tahun memiliki risiko tinggi terkena anemia, dengan prevalensi mencapai 26,8% di Indonesia pada tahun 2018. Penyebab anemia melibatkan faktor langsung seperti kelainan darah dan asupan zat besi rendah, serta faktor tidak langsung seperti pengetahuan gizi buruk dan status ekonomi keluarga. Zat besi memainkan peran penting dalam perkembangan otak, sistem kekebalan tubuh, dan pemeliharaan mielin. Anemia defisiensi besi dapat mempengaruhi fungsi kognitif dan kinerja akademis anak. Anemia juga dapat menyebabkan dampak ekonomi dengan mengurangi kapasitas kerja dan kesehatan anak secara fisik, mental, dan sosial. Upaya pencegahan anemia melibatkan pendekatan dari tiga level, yaitu primer (edukasi gizi, suplementasi zat besi), sekunder (skrining dan identifikasi dini), dan tersier (penanggulangan bersamaan dengan pencegahan). Pentingnya intervensi medis, nutrisi yang tepat, dan dukungan keluarga serta masyarakat tidak dapat diabaikan. Rekomendasi untuk pencegahan anemia pada anak sekolah mencakup pendekatan holistik melalui kerjasama lintas sektor melibatkan akademisi, dunia usaha, komunitas, pemerintah, dan media, dengan fokus pada optimalisasi peran Unit Kesehatan Sekolah (UKS) di sekolah dasar.

Seseorang dikatakan menderita anemia apabila kadar hemoglobin didalam darah menunjukkan nilai kurang dari normal yaitu <12 g/dl atau kadar hematokrit <37% atau jumlah sel darah merah <4 juta sel per mikroliter darah. Diagnosis anemia dapat ditegakkan dengan melakukan pemeriksaan laborarotium hematologi seperti kadar Hb, Ht, jumlah sel darah merah, dan indeks eritrosit. Metode pemeriksaan yang tepat dan berkualitas di laboratorium klinik sangat diperlukan guna menjamin hasil pemeriksaan yang presisi dan akurat. Berbagai faktor perlu dipertimbangkan untuk mewujudkan tatalaksana diagnosis anemia yang tepat sasaran, seperti pemilihan metode pemeriksaan, penggunaan spesimen darah, biaya analisis, waktu pemeriksaan, dan tingkat keakuratan hasil pemeriksaan suatu metode juga menjadi faktor yang penting untuk dipertimbangkan. Metode pemeriksaan laboratorium untuk penegakkan diagnosis anemia terdiri dari metode manual dan otomatis. Metode manual antara lain pemeriksaan Hb Sahli dan Hb Cyanmeth. Kedua metode ini masih dipakai hingga saat ini dan dapat dijumpai pada fasyankes ditingkat pratama dan madya seperti Puskesmas, Polindes, dan Praktik Bidan Mandiri terutama yang berada dipelosok daerah dengan jangkauan aliran listrik terbatas. Pada metode otomatis, pemeriksaan laboratorium hematologi menggunakan mesin automatic haematology analyzer (AHA). AHA mampu melakukan pemeriksaan laboratorium hematologi secara lengkap dengan tingkat keakuratan hasil pemeriksaan yang sangat baik dibandingkan metode manual sehingga hasil pemeriksaan dapat digunakan sebagai tolak ukur penegakkan diagnosis anemia. Pemeriksaan laboratorium hematologi metode otomatis dapat ditemukan pada fasyankes ditingkat utama seperti rumah sakit dan laboratorium klinik yang mengerjakan spesimen dalam skala besar. Metode lainnya yang digunakan untuk pemeriksaan kadar Hb yaitu Hb POCT. Metode ini lebih praktis, murah, dan membutuhkan spesimen dalam jumlah sedikit. Metode POCT biasanya digunakan untuk skrining penyakit anemia. Pemeriksaan laboratorium hematologi merupakan kunci utama dalam penegakkan diagnosis penyakit anemia. Keberhasilan dalam suatu diagnosis anemia tentunya ditunjang oleh hasil pemeriksaan laboratorium yang lengkap dan memadai sehingga dapat memberikan informasi yang relevan terkait dengan penyakit anemia.

Food service is the most significant part of running a successful restaurant. Precise and consistent food order distribution must be synchronized to achieve a remarkable operation. As the food business industry develops, the quality of the technology goes down. It now becomes the burden of the owners, especially on the workers. Developing an automated dumbwaiter with High Torque DC Motor and 1-kg load cell w/ HX711 Amplifier was conceptualized to solve this problem. The study aims to design, fabricate, and test the functionality of an Arduino-based automatic object lifter that will convey the corresponding meal to the following floor. The circuitry comprises an Arduino Uno, 1-kg Load Cell, HX711 Load Cell Amplifier, LCD Display 20x4 HD44780 Controller, Rotary Switch, Limit Switch, L298N Motor Driver, and a High Torque DC Motor. The system begins to operate after the load cell is calibrated. After this, the food was placed on a tray over the top of the dumbwaiter with a 1-kg load cell underneath. The meal weights will be set accordingly and saved as data when the microcontroller analyses the values given by the load cell and HX711 module. The dumbwaiter has only three meals available. Every meal comprises three different combinations of food items per tray, for a maximum of 1 kg. For the first meal: 1-pc Chicken w/ Rice & Drinks, second meal: Spaghetti w/ Fries & Drinks, and the third meal: Burger w/ Fries & Drinks. Whenever there are discrepancies in the weights of the food items, it prevents the system's operation. The dumbwaiter carries the meals up to the next floor. As the dumbwaiter hits the plunger of the limit switch, it instantly stops. Generally, the prototype was functional, with an average transport time of 13.584 seconds and a limit switch-breaking system of 0.5 milliseconds.
