Authors: Cunha Flávio Rezende , Couto Eduardo de Aguiar do
Published: August 2020

A busca por fontes alternativas e o uso racional de água são tendências em todo o mundo. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a implantação de reservatórios para armazenamento de água de chuva em dois edifícios (unidades 1 e 2) na Universidade Federal de Itajubá, Campus Itabira, Estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Foram definidos cenários para construção de reservatórios de diferentes volumes por meio do Método da Simulação. A demanda de água não potável foi estimada a partir da conversão da população flutuante em população permanente equivalente, dos hábitos de consumo em cada edifício e da vazão específica dos equipamentos hidrossanitários. Foram definidos índices técnicos como eficiência do sistema, confiança e atendimento à demanda de água não potável. Além disso, o período de retorno do investimento e o valor presente líquido (VPL) foram obtidos. Os resultados mostraram que os reservatórios de 5 m³ e 15 m³ apresentaram maior VPL em 15 anos, sendo de R$ 27.076,03 e R$ 44.493,57 com período de retorno de 1,2 e 2,4 anos, nas unidades 1 e 2, respectivamente. Para esses reservatórios, a porcentagem da demanda atendida foi de 87% e 72% com confiança do sistema de 75% e 58%, para as unidades 1 e 2, respectivamente. A partir da análise de sensibilidade observou-se que a tarifa de água foi o fator que mais influenciou o VPL, representando uma ferramenta para incentivo a ampliação da adoção da prática. Este estudo pode contribuir para a implementação do aproveitamento de água de chuva no Campus de Itabira e em outras instituições públicas.

Authors:   Universidad Católica Luis Amigó, Tamayo Arango Alba Shirley
Published: August 2020

En este texto las víctimas, mujeres campesinas desplazadas a la ciudad, despojadas y desterradas del Municipio de San Francisco, se convierten en protagonistas de una historia presente, desconocida, que se construye a partir de los relatos sobre las experiencias vividas, sobre las realidades sentidas y los dolores padecidos, pero también sobre el trabajo colectivo desde la Asociación Caminos de Esperanza Madres de la Candelaria y el fortalecimiento conjunto para generar otras perspectivas de vida. Es la voz de las mismas mujeres la que evidencia nuevas maneras de agenciarse como madres, esposas y mujeres campesinas en la ciudad, que van a hacer de las víctimas seres potentes y capaces, desvirtuando la desvalorización y la invalidez atribuida por los discursos mediáticos.
Assessing protopectin transformation potential of plant tissue using a zoned criterion space
Authors: Kondratenko Vladimir , Kondratenko Tatyana , Petrov Andrey , Belozerov Georgy
Published: August 2020

Introduction. The existing diversity of plant raw materials and products predetermine the prospects of studying their potential as sources of pectin substances. However all current classifications are either fragmented or inconsistent.

Study objects and methods. Our theoretical ivestigation aimed to develop an adequate classification for all taxa of plant origin, as well as their tissues and derivatives as pectin-containing materials. We developed criteria for assessing transformation potential of the protopectin complex based on the mass fractions of biologically active non-uronide components, native water-soluble pectin, the protopectin complex, and pectin substances. Individual boundary conditions were based on individual pectin potential, protopectin fragmentation potential, and pectin isolation potential.

Results and discussion. Based on the boundary conditions, we defined an universal criterion space that included a set of points M in the coordinates expressed by three main criteria. According to individual boundary conditions, the criterion space was divided, or zoned, into four domains corresponding to protopectin fragmentation potential. They were characterized by: 1) lack of pectin potential, 2) ineffective protopectin fragmentation, 3) ineffective isolation of fragmentation products, and 4) effective isolation. Finally, we developed a generalized algorithm to determine the location of points M[μ1, μ2 , μ3 ] in the zoned criterion space, characterizing the plant tissue.

Conclusion. Our approach can be used to assess any plant tissue for its protopectin transformation potential, which determines the technological influence on its pectin potential. This approach is universal, i.e., applicable to both plant tissue and its derivatives.

Authors: Dyshlyuk Lyubov , Dmitrieva Anastasia , Ivanova Svetlana , Golubtsova Yuliya , Ostroumov Lev
Published: August 2020

Introduction. In recent years, scientists have been actively searching for medicinal plants containing biologically active substances with geroprotective properties to treat diseases of old age, in particular cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and others. Ginseng (Panax ginseng L.) is a promising source of geroprotective compounds. We aimed to select optimal parameters for extracting organic compounds from ginseng callus, suspension, and root cultures and analyze their qualitative composition.

Study objects and methods. We studied ginseng callus, suspension, and root cultures, as well as their extracts. Biologically active substances were extracted with 30 to 70% ethanol. Organic compounds were determined by thin-layer chromatography. The results for each plant were archived and analyzed for the presence of quercetin, mangiferin, luteolin, rutin, quercetin-2-D-glucoside, malvidin, as well as caffeic, cinnamic, ferulic, and sinapinic acids.

Results and discussion. We developed a procedure for screening solvents and performed a fractional qualitative analysis of biologically active substances extracted from ginseng. As a result, we established the optimal parameters for extracting biologically

active substances from the dried biomass of ginseng cultures. In all cases, temperature and the ratio of solvent to biomass were the same (50°C, 1:5). However, the extraction time and ethanol concentration differed, amounting to 60 min and 50% for callus cultures, 30 min and 60% for suspension cultures, and 60 min and 70% for root cultures. The qualitative analysis of organic compounds showed the presence of rutin (0.25), quercetin (0.75), and mangiferin (0.57), as well as caffeic and sinapinic acids in the extracts.

Conclusion. Our set of experiments to isolate biologically active substances from ginseng callus, suspension, and root cultures resulted in selecting the optimal extraction parameters and analyzing the extracts for the presence of organic compounds.

Published: August 2020

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality, morbidity, and financial losses and has a high prevalence across the world. Several studies have investigated the association between various CVD types with zinc and copper status as the essential minerals for the human body, proposing contradictory and similar results. This narrative review aimed to survey the correlations between zinc and copper status in the human body and some risk factors of CVD, as well as the assessment methods of zinc and copper status in the human body. According to the reviewed articles, zinc and copper deficiency may increase the risk of coronary heart disease, valvular regurgitation, and myocardial lesions, cardiac hypertrophy. Furthermore, it could lead to the expanded mitochondrial compartments of the heart, acute and chronic heart failure, and elevation of inflammation markers, such as interleukin-1 (IL-1) and IL-6. Two methods are primarily used for the assessment of zinc and copper in the human body, including the direct method (measurement of their concentrations) and indirect method (determining the activity of zinc- and copper-containing enzymes). Both these methods are considered reliable for the assessment of the zinc and copper levels in healthy individuals. Serum or plasma levels of these elements are also commonly used for the assessment of the correlation between zinc and copper status and CVD. But, which one is a more accurate indicator in relation to CVD is not yet clear; therefore, further studies are required in this field.
The Chemistry of Triazine Isomers: Structures, Reactions, Synthesis and Applications
Authors: Kushwaha Neelottama , Sharma C.S.
Published: August 2020

Triazine is the six-membered heterocyclic ring containing three nitrogens, which replace the
carbon-hydrogen unit in the benzene ring. Based on nitrogen position present in the ring system, it is
categorized in three isomeric forms, i.e., 1, 2, 3-triazine (vicinal triazine), 1, 2, 4-triazine (asymmetrical
triazine or isotriazine) and 1, 3, 5-triazine (symmetrical or s-triazine or cyanidine). Triazines have
a weakly basic property. Their isomers have much weaker resonance energy than benzene structure, so
nucleophilic substitution reactions are more preferred than electrophilic substitution reactions. Triazine
isomers and their derivatives are known to play important roles possessing various activities in medicinal
and agricultural fields such as anti-cancer, antiviral, fungicidal, insecticidal, bactericidal, herbicidal,
antimalarial and antimicrobial agents.

Authors: Olatunde Olagoke Zacchaeus , Yong Jianping , Lu Canzhong
Published: August 2020

Anticancer drugs based on the microtubules target are potent mitotic spindle poison agents,
which interact directly with the microtubules, and were classified as microtubule-stabilizing agents and
microtubule-destabilizing agents. Researchers have worked tremendously towards the improvements
of anticancer drugs, in terms of improving the efficacy, solubility and reducing the side effects, which
brought about advancement in chemotherapy. In this review, we focused on describing the discovery,
structures and functions of the microtubules as well as the progress of anticancer agents related to the
microtubules, which will provide adequate references for researchers.

:

The root cause of non-inherited Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains unknown despite
hundreds of research studies performed to attempt to solve this problem. Since proper prophylaxis
remains the best strategy, many scientists have studied the risk factors that may affect AD development.
There is robust evidence supporting the hypothesis that cardiovascular diseases (CVD)
may contribute to AD progression, as the diseases often coexist. Therefore, a lack of well-defined
diagnostic criteria makes studying the relationship between AD and CVD complicated. Additionally,
inflammation accompanies the pathogenesis of AD and CVD, and is not only a consequence
but also implicated as a significant contributor to the course of the diseases. Of note, АроЕε4 is
found to be one of the major risk factors affecting both the cardiovascular and nervous systems.
According to genome wide association and epidemiological studies, numerous common risk factors
have been associated with the development of AD-related pathology. Furthermore, the risk of developing
AD and CVDs appears to be increased by a wide range of conditions and lifestyle factors:
hypertension, dyslipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, hyperhomocysteinemia, gut/oral microbiota,
physical activity, and diet. This review summarizes the literature and provides possible mechanistic
links between CVDs and AD.
Targeting S100B Protein as a Surrogate Biomarker and its Role in Various Neurological Disorders
Authors: Langeh Urvashi , Singh Shamsher
Published: August 2020

:

Neurological disorders (ND) are the central nervous system (CNS) related complications
originated by enhanced oxidative stress, mitochondrial failure and overexpression of proteins
like S100B. S100B is a helix-loop-helix protein with the calcium-binding domain associated with
various neurological disorders through activation of the MAPK pathway, increased NF-kB expression
resulting in cell survival, proliferation and gene up-regulation. S100B protein plays a crucial
role in Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Schizophrenia and epilepsy because
the high expression of this protein directly targets astrocytes and promotes neuroinflammation.
Under stressful conditions, S100B produces toxic effects mediated through receptor for advanced
glycation end products (AGE) binding. S100B also mediates neuroprotection, minimizes
microgliosis and reduces the expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) but that are concentration-
dependent mechanisms. Increased level of S100B is useful for assessing the release of inflammatory
markers, nitric oxide and excitotoxicity dependent neuronal loss. The present review
summarizes the role of S100B in various neurological disorders and potential therapeutic measures
to reduce the prevalence of neurological disorders.
Essential Oils Downregulate Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines and Nitric Oxide-Mediated Oxidative Stress in Alloxan-Induced Diabetogenic Rats
Authors: E. ul Haq Muhammad , Akash Muhammad S.H. , Rehman Kanwal , Mahmood Malik H.
Published: August 2020

Introduction:

Hyperglycemia is associated with an elevated level of reactive nitrogen species (RNS) that leads to nitrosative stress and exacerbates the progression of diabetic complications.

Method:

Present study was aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of essential oils (EOs) on increased serum levels of nitric oxide (NO) in diabetogenic rats. Diabetogenic rats were treated with EOs
separately and/or in combination at the dose of 100 mg/kg, orally for one month. Blood sampling was
done at the 1st, 15th and 30th day of the treatment period to investigate the effect of treatment on biomarkers of diabetic complications.

Results:

In diabetogenic rats, serum levels of NO, malondialdehyde (MDA) and pro-inflammatory
cytokines were significantly increased when compared with that of the control group. Whereas, diabetogenic
rats treated with EOs decreased serum levels of NO, MDA and pro-inflammatory cytokines
up to a significant extent when compared with that diabetogenic rats treated with the standard antidiabetic
drug. Moreover, EOs also increased insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues and insulin secretion
from β-cells of pancreatic islets more efficiently when compared with that of diabetogenic rats. Additionally,
it was also found that EOs improved lipid profile and normal functions of kidney and liver as
compared to that of diabetogenic rats.

Conclusion:

Findings of this study indicate that EOs may reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine levels by
modulating the expression of NO. EOs may also ameliorate the nitrosative stress and maintain glucose
homeostasis that are major culprits of diabetic complications.

Authors: Ajebli Mohammed , Amssayef Ayoub , Eddouks Mohamed
Published: August 2020

Aim:

The current study was carried out in order to assess the antihyperglycemic effect of
Scorzonera undulata (S. undulata).

Backgroud:

Scorzonera undulata subsp. deliciosa (DC.) Maire is used in the Moroccan pharmacopeia
for managing diabetes.

Objective:

The objective of the study was to evaluate the anithyperglycemic activity in normal and
streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats as well as the acute toxicity of the aqueous extract of the
roots of Scorzonera undulata (S. undulata).

Methods:

This study investigated the effects of the root aqueous extract of Scorzonera undulata
(AERSU) at a dose of 20 mg/kg on blood glucose levels in normal and streptozotocin(STZ)-induced
diabetic rats and the acute toxicity of AERSU was examined. Histopathological examination, preliminary
phytochemical investigation, determination of glycogen content and evaluation of α-amylase were
also performed.

Result:

Both single and repeated oral doses of AERSU (20 mg/kg) produced a significant reduction in
blood glucose levels in normal and diabetic rats. Furthermore, repeated oral administration of AERSU
during 15 days increased the glycogen content in the liver in both normal and diabetic rats, inhibited α-
amylase activity and improved the histological architecture of the liver and pancreas in treated diabetic
rats and ameliorated some biochemical parameters such as ALT and AST. In addition, the preliminary
phytochemical investigation showed the richness of the roots of S. undulata in certain phytochemicals
particularly in polyphenols.

Conclusion:

AERSU exhibits an evident antihyperglycemic activity. This pharmacological effect may
be due to the protection of surviving pancreatic β cells and hepatocytes, effect of α-amylase and the
improvement of glycogen storage in the liver. The dose used in this study seems to be free of any toxicity.
Cognitive Functions under Anti-HER2 Targeted Therapy in Cancer Patients: A Scoping Review
Authors: García-Sánchez Javier , Torregrosa María D. , Cauli Omar
Published: August 2020

Pharmacological therapy targeting the HER2 protein is one of the major breakthroughs in
the treatment of cancer patients overexpressing HER2 who have increased survival rates. Despite improved
survival, it is important to determine the less frequent adverse effects in order to tailor treatments
more personalized to the patients’ features. The possible impact of cancer treatments on cognitive
functions is huge, and the effects of anti-HER 2 therapies on this issue have not been reviewed and
are the objective of this study. Analysis of PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane library and Web of Science
databases revealed six studies performed in breast and serous uterine cancer patients analyzing cognitive
function under chemotherapy regimens including anti-HER2 drugs. Four of these studies reported
small to significant worsening of cognitive function following chemotherapy regimens containing trastuzumab
(the most widely used anti-HER2 drug). In neoadjuvant settings, and in breast cancer patients,
treatment with the new anti-HER-2 drug trastuzumab emtansine seems to induce less cognitive impairment
than therapeutic regimens containing chemotherapy and trastuzumab. Acute administration of
trastuzumab induced cognitive impairment in gastric cancer mice models, confirming its ability to alter
cognitive function in patients. More studies analyzing the impact of anti-HER2 therapy on cognitive
function are necessary at preclinical and clinical levels in order to personalize pharmacological treatment
and offer cancer patients a better quality of life.

Authors: Giovacchini Giampiero , Giovannini Elisabetta , Borsò Elisa , Lazzeri Patrizia , Duce Valerio , Ferrando Ornella , Foppiano Franca , Ciarmiello Andrea
Published: August 2020

Background:

To compare visual and semi-quantitative analysis of brain [18F]Florbetaben
PET images in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) patients and relate this finding to the degree
of ß-amyloid burden.

Methods:

A sample of 71 amnestic MCI patients (age 74 ± 7.3 years, Mini Mental State Examination
24.2 ± 5.3) underwent cerebral [18F]Florbetaben PET/CT. Images were visually scored as positive
or negative independently by three certified readers blinded to clinical and neuropsychological
assessment. Amyloid positivity was also assessed by semiquantitative approach by means of a previously
published threshold (SUVr ≥ 1.3). Fleiss kappa coefficient was used to compare visual analysis
(after consensus among readers) and semi-quantitative analysis. Statistical significance was
taken at P<0.05.

Results:

After the consensus reading, 43/71 (60.6%) patients were considered positive. Cases that
were interpreted as visually positive had higher SUVr than visually negative patients (1.48 ± 0.19
vs 1.11 ± 0.09) (P<0.05). Agreement between visual analysis and semi-quantitative analysis was excellent
(k=0.86, P<0.05). Disagreement occurred in 7/71 patients (9.9%) (6 false positives and 1
false negative). Agreement between the two analyses was 90.0% (18/20) for SUVr < 1.1, 83%
(24/29) for SUVr between 1.1 and 1.5, and 100% (22/22) for SUVr > 1.5 indicating lowest agreement
for the group with intermediate amyloid burden.

Conclusion:

Inter-rater agreement of visual analysis of amyloid PET images is high. Agreement between
visual analysis and SUVr semi-quantitative analysis decreases in the range of 1.1<SUVr
<=1.5, where the clinical scenario is more challenging.

This study was conducted in response to the fact that the students’ reading comprehension ability was much lower than they should have achieved. It was caused by several reasons, one of themwas related to the poor teaching learning process. In this study, Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) was used to improve the teaching learning process and the students’ reading comprehension ability. This research was a Classroom Action Research (CAR) study and it was done in two cycles. Observation and interviews were used to collect data which were then analyzed qualitatively. Students’ achievement of daily-test, the students’ self reflection in the form of rating format and the students’ achievement of post-tests were used in order to support the data collected. The results of this study indicate that TBLT can improve not only the teaching learning process but also the class 8D of MTsN Yogyakarta II students’ reading comprehension ability in recount text.  It is shown that the students are interested to learn reading and they enjoy the reading teaching learning process using TBLT. The students’ average score before the action is 62.81. In the first cycle the mean score is 72.03, meanwhile the mean score in the second cycle is 79.06. It means that there is an improvement of students’ scores from cycle to cycle.

Authors: Al-Baihaqi Muhammad Fauzi
Published: August 2020

Improving literacy and a reading habit remains a major challenge to the Indonesian education system. To achieve maximum fluency in reading, the students should not only rely on classroom activities. They need a considerable amount of exposure. Therefore, there is a need to develop self-access learning materials to enhance independent learning through extensive reading. The objectives of this research were to identify the students’ target needs, identify the learning needs, and develop self-access graded reading materials to enhance extensive reading. The study employed the procedure of materials development by Jolly and Bolitho (2011) with some adaptations. There are originally 7 main stages, however, the steps were adapted and reduced into 5 stages.  The adapted stages include needs analysis, syllabus planning, materials production, materials evaluation, and revision for the final draft. The data of this research were collected by using questionnaires and interviews. The developed materials employ three levels of difficulty based on the number of headwords and readability ease. The materials were evaluated in terms of content, language, presentation, and layout appropriateness. The results of the materials evaluation showed a good outcome according to the expert judgment results.

Published: August 2020

Social, economic factors, and utilization of posyandu towards stunting among toddlers of poor families of PKH recipients in PalembangBackground: Stunting is a nutritional problem caused by chronic malnutrition. Stunting can result in decreased concentration, memory damage, decreased learning, and school performance, decreased cognitive function, impaired motor development, and has a long-term impact on reducing productivity, thus inhibiting economic growth and causing intergenerational poverty. Stunting can be influenced by social, economic, and access to health services factors. Objective: To analyze the correlation of social, economic, and utilization of integrated services post (pos pelayanan terpadu/posyandu) with the incidence of stunting of under-fives in poor families in Palembang. Methods: This study used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design in March-April 2019. The population was toddlers aged 24-59 months from poor families in Palembang, with the criteria receiving the cash transfer program from the Indonesian Government, called Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH). Samples were 100 people were chosen by proportional sampling. Data were analyzed by using the Chi-Square test and regression logistic test. Results: The proportion of stunting among toddlers in poor families of PKH recipients in Palembang was 29%. Multiple logistic regression test shows 4 (four) independent variables have a significant correlation to the incidence of stunting simultaneously. Those variable are maternal education (p=0.003, OR=7.278, 95% CI: 1.928-27.474), birth order (p=0.013, OR=0.144, 95% CI: 0.031-0.664), number of family members (p=0.013, OR=10.809, 95% CI:  1.639-71.278),irregular utilization of Posyandu (p=0.041, OR=3.524, 95% CI:1.055-11.768), and never using Posyandu (p=0.019, OR=5.282, 95% CI: 1.313-21.239). Low maternal education, huge family members (more than 4), irregularly and never use Posyandu increase risk of stunting 7.2 times, 10.8 times, 3.5, and 5.2 times, otherwise first or second birth order was a protective factor of stunting. Conclusions: Maternal education and utilization of Posyandu are protective factors, meanwhile huge family members (more than 4) and third or more birth order can increase stunting incidence among toddlers of poor families of PKH recipients.

Glycemic index of growol cookies: snack development study for people with diabetes mellitusBackground: Low-glycemic foods with high fiber content have been shown to control blood glucose in diabetics. Growol, cassava fermented food, can be potentially developed as a functional food for diabetics. Growol has higher dietary fiber and lower total sugar, reducing sugar, and sucrose compared to cassava. Carbohydrates in growol combined with roasting processing techniques into cookies products may potentially change the glycemic index of the product.Objective: To examine the potency of growol cookies as a snack for diabetics in terms of the glycemic index of cookies.Methods: This observational laboratory study analyzed the glycemic index of growol cookies compared to glucose and control cookies. The study was conducted from April to October 2019. Ten subjects were involved in the glycemic index measurement. The glycemic index was analyzed through the area under the curve (AUC) ratio of glucose response of food by measuring blood glucose levels during fasting; 30; 60; 90; and 120 minutes after consuming test foods (growol cookies and control cookies).Results: AUC for glucose, control cookies, and growol cookies were 13,669.5; 11,886; and 11,941.5. The glucose glycemic index was 100, while the glycemic index of control cookies and growol cookies was 87. Both control cookies and growol cookies are high glycemic index food. There was an AUC difference between glucose and control cookies (p=0.001) and between glucose and growol cookies (p=0.001). The difference in AUC between control cookies and growol cookies (p=0.991) was not seen.Conclusions: Growol cookies have a lower glycemic index than glucose, but it still cannot be consumed as an alternative snack for diabetics.

ABSTRAKPada saat ini masih banyak masyarakat yang tidak peduli terhadap apa yang mereka makan, baik dewasa maupun anak-anak. Bagi masyarakat, hal terpenting dari makanan adalah rasa yang enak, porsi yang banyak, dan harga yang pas. Masyarakat khususnya anak anak cenderung membeli makanan tanpa memperhatikan kebersihannya. Sehingga sering terjadi mereka menjadi korban dari jajanan yang tidak sehat. Hal ini terjadi karena minimnya pengetahuan tentang bagaimana mengenali jajanan yang aman. Jajanan anak sekolah yang kurang terjamin kesehatannya dapat menyebabkan keracunan, gangguan pencernaan, dan jika berlangsung lama akan menyebabkan status gizi yang buruk.  Berdasarkan survei Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan (BPOM) Indonesia tahun 2014, masih banyak diemukan jajanan sekolah  yang tidak memenuhi syarat kesehatan. Hal ini tentunya sangat memprihatinkan, sebab makanan bukan hanya sekedar untuk memenuhi kebutuhan nutrisi pada tubuh, melainkan kandungan gizi yang baik dari segi kuantitas maupun kualitas diperlukan agar tumbuh kembang anak dapat optimal. Metode yang digunakan adalah penyuluhan yang diadakan SDN Jati III Kecamatan Tarogong Kaler. Hasil dari kegiatan ini didapatkan adanya peningkatan rata-rata nilai pengetahuan sebelum dan sesudah dilakukan penyuluhan kesehatan. Hasil pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini diharapkan dapat menghasilkan siswa siswi yang memiliki pengetahuan tentang bahaya jajanan yang tidak sehat. Hasil pengabdian ini diharapkan akan menjadi modal dasar dalam pembentukan perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat di tatanan sekolah, sehingga terwujud generasi yang sehat dan kuat. Kata kunci: Jajanan tidak sehat, Siswa SD, penyuluhan

There are two panoramic radiography techniques, which are conventional and digital (direct and indirect) method. This study was aimed to analyse the differences of panoramic radiograph image quality between the conventional and digital indirect method on mixed dentition radiograph. Methods: Thirty samples of conventional and indirect digital panoramic radiograph were randomly taken from the database according to inclusion criteria. The image quality of conventional radiograph was manually assessed by using illuminator box, while indirect digital radiographs was assessed directly using DBS Win 5.7.0 software (Durr Dental, Germany). The radiographs were divided into six zones: teeth area, nasal and sinus, mandible, TMJ, ramus-spine, and hyoid bone. The image quality assessment was performed in each area based on three criteria: anatomical coverage, density and contrast, and anatomical structure. Results: The Cronbach's Alpha Intra-Class Correlation (ICC) inter and intraobserver agreement test of conventional and digital indirect methods on the aspect of anatomical, density and contrast coverage, and anatomic structure showed an excellent agreement. The independent sample t-test result showed significant difference (p < 0.05) between the conventional and indirect digital method in density and contrast as well as anatomical structure aspects, but not significantly different (p > 0.05) in the anatomical coverage aspect. Conclusion: Indirect digital panoramic radiograph shows better image quality as compared to conventional radiograph, especially in the anatomical structure aspect, density and contrast. There is no difference in the anatomical coverage aspect between conventional and indirect digital panoramic radiograph.
