Published: March 2017

Dengue hemorrhagic fever is one of the important health problem in Indonesia, mortality rate is becoming decrease but many dengue shock syndrome cases is very difficult to be help. Previous study showed that some of DEN 2 and DEN 3 virus cases could show a clinical performance of severe dengue virus infection such as dengue shock syndrome. There are four serotype of dengue virus infection can cause primary and secondary infection. The aim of this research is to know the relationship between clinical performance of dengue virus infection and serotype dengue virus and also to know the role of primary and secondary infection and age of dengue virus cases. A prospective analytic observational study, which was conducted in Dr. Soetomo hospital since January 2009. RT-PCR was used to attempt to identify the infecting serotype from dengue virus isolated using vero cell. Antibody responses were measured by ELISA and clinical manifestation were measured with the WHO criteria 1997. Dengue serotype identification by RT-PCR was 70 patients. Virus types were DEN-2 65(92.8%), DEN-1 3(4.2%), and DEN-3 2(2.8%). Patients with DEN-1 genotype IV were more trend severe disease DSS and unusual infection. Commanly usually secondary exposure cause more severe clinical manifestation than primary exposure (p = 0.035) but in this study found that all of DEN-1 genotype IV, primary or secondary infection to show severe clinical manifestation of dengue virus infection. We can conclude that DEN-2 was the most dominant serotype in Dr. Soetomo Hospital. On Primary and secondary infection, DEN-1 genotype IV showing more severe than DEN-2 and DEN-3.

Published: March 2017

Prevalency of Diabetes Mellitus in Indonesia has tendency to be increased from year to year. Hyperbaric Oxygenation (HBO) has been used as treatment of Diabetes Mellitus's complication especially diabetic gangrene. But the effect of HBO to the rheology's disfunction especially platelet's aggregation in the patients of NIDDM was investigated. The randomized pretest-posttest design was used in this study. An experimental laboratory study was performed at Naval Health Institution in Surabaya. 32 patients of NIDDM,women, 40–75 years old, normal physic's diagnosa, normal thorak's photo, normal EKG, normal Ear Nose and Throat, Diabetes Mellitus's family's record, normal weight (BMI), blood glucose level didn't exceed 400 mg/dl (including controlled DM FBG < 120 mg/dl dan 2 H BG < 160 mg/dl), NIDDM, normal level of HbA1c (4–5,9), as long as this research they couldn’t take their Oral Hipoglikemic Agent, Oral Anti Trombotic, vitamin C and vitamin E. They are divided into 2 group: group of HBO 100% O 2,4 ATA for 3x30 minutes with interval  5 minutes to inhalate air once a day daily for 5 days subsequently and the extraction of data (PAT) had been held before oxygenation hyperbaric therapy at the first day and the end of fifth days, in control group only giving 20% O2 with the pressure 1 ATA for 90 minutes once a day daily for 5 days subsequently and the extraction of data (PAT) had been held before normoxia normobaric therapy at the first day and the end of fifth days. The results were significant decrease of the platelet’s aggregation level especially percent of aggregation after 5 days from 76,56 ± 8,06 become 69,13 ± 6,03. Latent Periode has also decrease from 28,75 ± 3,87 become 25,75 ± 2,82. Speed of Aggregation has also decrease from 66,25 ± 3,17 become 62,50 ± 3,44. Index of Aggregation has also decrease from 0,763 ± 0,071 become 0,581 ± 0,083. Using paired t-test, it could be seen the decrease of Latent Periode (p= 0,001) and index of aggregation (p= 0,000) significantly after exposure of oxygenation hyperbaric HBO 2,4 ATA 100% O 3×30 minutes with interval 5 minutes inhalate air once a day for 5 days,subsequently. Speed of aggregation (p = 0,022) and percent of aggregation (p= 0,013) are nonsignificantly. The conclusion of this research is that oxygenation hyperbaric 2,4 ATA 100% O2 3×30 minutes with interval 5 minutes inhalate air once a day for 5 days,subsequently could decrease latent periode, speed of aggregation,  index of aggregation and percent of aggregation in NIDDM
ACTI ON OF N- ACETYLCYSTEI NE ON ASYMMETRI C DIMETHYLARGININE AND ALBUMINURIA IN STAGE 1-4 NONDIABETIC CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE PATIENTS
Authors: THAHA MOCHAMMAD , Widodo Widodo , Yogiantoro Moh. , NILAMSARI WENNY PUTRI , YUSUF MOCHAMAD , Tomino Yasuhiko
Published: March 2017

Background: Uremic patients are in a pro-oxidant state and show an increased level of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), which is due to increased PRMT1 activity and reduced dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH) as degradation enzymes. Reactive oxidant species may play an important role in increasing the action of PRMT1 and in inhibiting the action of DDAH. Albuminuria and ADMA are closely correlated with progression of cardiovascular disease in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients as well as indicators for decreasing renal function. Although ACEIs and/or ARBs reduced albuminuria in CKD patients, the results are still conflicting. Several factors in these patients may play important roles in the mechanism of albuminuria such as oxidative stress. The antioxidant N-acetylcysteine may prove to have beneficial therapeutic effect, because it can reduce oxidative stress as shown by evidence in humans, and subsequently increase ADMA. The objective of the present study is to explore the contribution of the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) to the decrease of ADMA and albuminuria in non-diabetic CKD patients. Material and Methods: Patients with non-DM CKD stage 1–4 with albuminuria were randomized to receive ACEI and/or ARB alone (control group) or with antioxidant NAC 600 mg orally twice a day (treatment group). Observations were performed for 3 months to measure ADMA and albuminuria before and after-treatment. 80 patients in total 40 in the control group and 40 in the treatment group were used. Results: After oral treatment with NAC, the plasma level of ADMA in the treatment group increased from 0.604 µmol/l to 0.689 µmol/l, whereas ADMA level in the control group exhibited a higher increase from 0.561 µmol/l to 0.743 µmol/l. The increases in these groups were significantly different (p < 0.02). Moreover, the level of albuminuria was reduced from 148.12 µg/mg • cr to 132.7 µg/mg • cr in the treatment group, and from 75.25 µg/mg • cr to 71.85 µg/mg • cr in the control group. The difference was significant (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The anti-oxidant N-acetylcysteine can be used as adjuvant therapy to inhibit the progression of CKD in patients by decreasing the ADMA level and albuminuria.

Hyperbaric oxygen is the inhalation of 100 percent oxygen inside hyperbaric chamber that is pressurized to greater than 1 atmosphere (atm). Conclusion: The organism was found to be inhibited within a pressure/time range well tolerated by human subjects, suggesting that hyperbaric oxygen might be used successfully in treating human candidiasis.
The Use of Ceftriaxone Compared to Chloramphenicol in Typhoid Fever Treatment: an Evidence Based Case Report
Authors: Susatyo Jeffry Adijaya
Published: March 2017

Typhoid fever is a disease caused by the gram-negative bacterium Salmonella typhi. Since its introduction in 1949, chloramphenicol for decades become a first-line treatment of typhoid fever. Until now, chloramphenicol is still the first line treatment of typhoid fever in rural areas in Indonesia, especially due to its low cost. However, in addition to the problem of bacterial resistance, chloramphenicol is known to cause side effect such as bone marrow suppression. Right now many other antibiotics are used as regimens for treatment of typhoid fever, one of which is ceftriaxone. This report is created to answer the clinical question whether ceftriaxone is more effective compared to chloramphenicol as first-line treatment of typhoid fever. Structured search was performed on PubMed, EBSCO, and ScienceDirect and after a screening process and appraisal using criteria from Center of Evidence Based Medicine at Oxford University, three articles were selected. Two of the three articles demonstrate higher effectiveness of chloramphenicol in term of defervescence rate (P = 0.35 and P > 0.05). On the other hand, the third article shows higher effectiveness of ceftriaxone in term of defervescence rate (P = 0.0001). The conclusion drawn is that ceftriaxone showed better effectiveness in the treatment of typhoid fever compared to chloramphenicol.

ABSTRACTThe maternal mortality ratio (MMR) in Indonesia remains high, i.e approximately 359 per 100.000 life birth (IDHS 2012). MMR is an indicator of mother’s health, especially the risk of being death for a mother while pregnant and delivery. Mostly the majority of maternal mortality (MMR) is occurring in the first two days after delivery and care after giving birth services required to manage complication. Sidoarjo regency has high postpartum maternal mortality case, so it is necessary to study determinants influencing postpartum maternal mortality in that regency. This research aimed to analyze the determinants that influence postpartum maternal mortality. This research was an observational research using case control study. Number of samples was 21 cases and 43 controls. Data were analyzed by univariate analysis, bivariate analysis with chi-square test, and multivariate analysis with multiple logistic regressions. The result showed that the determinants which influence postpartum maternal mortality according to multivariate analysis were pre-eclampsia/eclampsia (OR = 20,98; 95%CI : 2,250 – 323,416; p = 0,008) and delivery complication (OR = 5,47; 95%CI : 1,356 – 22,022; p = 0,017). Probability of mother to have risk of postpartum maternal mortality with all those risk factors above was 92,9%.

Published: March 2017

ABSTRACTDental caries is one of the dental health problems. Dental caries are formed because there was leftover food that sticks to the teeth, which eventually lead to tooth calcification. Impact, teeth become brittle, hollow, even broken.Dental caries experience a loss of power to make a child chewing and digestive disruption, which resulted in growth of less than the maximum. This study aims to determine the relationship of parents’ behavior towards the maintenance of dental health of children (feeding habits sweet, sticky and drinking milk, teeth maintenance, inspection tooth and mouth) with dental caries in the TK R.A Bustanussholihin in Balun village Turi District of Lamongan. This study Analytics whose data is collected with a cross sectional sample of kindergarten children aged 4–6 years with a total sample of 49 children. The collection of primary data through interviews parents TK R.A Bustanussholihin student using questionnaires and secondary data obtained from the agency are in the region of the profile data TK R.A Bustanussholihin in Balun Village of Turi District of Lamongan. This study used a correlation coefficient of contingency. Based on the results of the contingency coefficient correlation test showed that the factors that have a strong relationship is the habit of feeding the sweet, sticky, and drink milk with a value of P = 0.504. While the factors that have a weak link is the habit of maintaining dental hygiene habits of children and child oral examination . From this study it can be concluded that there is a relationship or a strong correlation between feeding habits sweet, sticky and drinking milk with the incidence of dental caries in children aged 4–6. So as to prevent dental caries severity we need to hold counseling on feeding sweet, soft and gooey on the effect of dental caries as well as how it should be formula feeding or breast milk to the child to prevent rampant caries.Keywords: dental caries, sweetened food, children aged 4–6 years

Authors: Utama Chandra , Wijaya Miryam B.L. , Lim Charvin
Published: March 2017

Inflation is a regional phenomenon hence the use of provincial data might be more appropriateon explaining the relationship between monetary policy and inflation. This paper analyzes the impact of changes in provincial money supply, the policy rate, and the interbank rate on regional inflation, within the framework of Hybrid New Keynesian Phillips Curve (HNKPC). This paper employs Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) on panel data of 32 provinces from 2005-III to 2014-IV. The estimation result shows that provincial monetary aggregate influence inflation significantly only in Sumatera. Furthermore, the policy fate affects the inflation in Sumatera and Kalimantan-Sulawesi. Using the interbank money rate, the result shows this rate also affect the inflation in most of the region except Kalimantan-Sulawesi. These findings show the price-based policy is more significant on affecting the provincial inflation compared to the provincial money supply.
LOCAL FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND FIRM PERFORMANCE: DOES FINANCIAL OUTREACH REALLY MATTERS WITHIN INDONESIAN ARCHIPELAGO?
Authors: Nugraha Fickry Widya
Published: March 2017

This study attempt to examine whether firm’s performance depends on the local financialdevelopment across Indonesian provinces within 2010-2013. Combining data from the Indonesian survey of manufacturing firms with information from regional-level data, the study empirically documented several key findings. First, there are no consistent results that local bank availability is robustly associated with faster growth for firms in sectors with growth opportunities. Second, this paper documented a positive interplay between access to financial services to firm performance particularly within western part region of Indonesia. Third, access to the financial service appears to be closely connected with the level of economic development, particularly rate of poverty and inflation in the western part region of Indonesia.Taken these empirical finding together, this study imply that the level of inequality across Indonesian archipelago need to be reduced in order not only to provide a better access of financial services to the local stakeholders but also to improve small firms performance.

Core Ideas

Heat stress decreased the translocation of dry matter from vegetative organs after pollination.

Heat stress during grain filling accelerated leaf senescence of waxy maize.

This study provides leaf senescence and dry matter translocation data for waxy maize production.

Waxy maize (Zea maysL. sinensis Kulesh) is frequently exposed to high temperatures (higher than 35.0°C) during grain filling in southern China. This pot trial was conducted to study the effect of heat stress during grain filling on grain yield, dry matter (DM) accumulation and translocation, and leaf senescence of plants. Post‐pollination plants of Suyunuo 5 and Yunuo 7 (waxy maize varieties) were planted under high temperature (35.0°C) and ambient temperature conditions (daytime temperatures during grain filling were 29.0 and 28.2°C in 2014 and 2015, respectively).The decrease rate of grain yields for Suyunuo 5 and Yunuo 7 were 31.3 and 21.9% due to the reduced grain number and weight, respectively, indicating that Suyunuo 5 was more sensitive to heat stress. Heat stress decreased dry matter accumulation after pollination (DMA) . The photosynthate of vegetative organ post‐pollination translocated to grain decreased by 36.1 and 55.9% for Yunuo 7 and Suyunuo 5, respectively. However, the translocation amount and rate of assimilates pre‐pollination increased, with greater increase observed in Suyunuo 5. The malondialdehyde (MDA) content was increased by heat stress 25 and 20 d after pollination in Yunuo 7 and Suyunuo 5, respectively. Leaf chlorophyll (Chl), carotenoid (Car), and soluble protein contents were decreased, and the activities of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase [SOD], catalase [CAT], and peroxidase [POD]) were suppressed by heat stress in both varieties. The findings suggested that reduced DMA and accelerated leaf senescence under heat stress post‐pollination result in the grain yield loss.

O artigo compara os acelerados processos de crescimento econômico motivados por megaempreendimentos nos municípios de Macaé e de Itaguaí, ambos localizados no litoral do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Tais processos, ainda que defasados no tempo, não significaram melhoria nos indicadores de desenvolvimento socioeconômico e ambiental e sim um processo de crescimento desordenado dos referidos municípios. Objetiva-se analisar tal situação pela ótica dos modelos participativos deliberativos propostos por Tenório, et al., (2008) e do arcabouço teórico do Desenvolvimento Territorial Sustentável, a fim de construir uma análise crítica de como se deu estes processos e como estes poderiam ter sido pautados nos princípios democráticos da coesão social, da valorização da identidade local e na territoriabilidade. Tirar lições do caso de Macaé, que teve um crescimento exponencial após as instalações das plataformas de petróleo na bacia de Campos e verificar quais as similaridades deste caso para o município de Itaguaí, que passa por transformações estruturais devido aos investimentos do Porto de Itaguaí justifica-se a analise. O artigo é pautado em duas pesquisas que tiveram como objetos de estudo os respectivos municípios e os resultados indicaram a baixa participação da sociedade civil vis-à-vis o poder das organizações empresariais e da incapacidade dos poderes públicos locais em fazer face ao poder do mercado.

Published: March 2017

As atividades econômicas ligadas à cadeia produtiva do algodão não se distribuem de forma homogênea dentro do espaço territorial mato-grossense, sendo de fundamental importância identificar as regiões e a influência locacional da aglomeração produtiva. A relevância das atividades econômicas para cada região e o desenvolvimento de aglomerações possibilitam aos gestores governamentais uma melhor definição de instrumentos de políticas públicas para a promoção do desenvolvimento regional. Para tanto, a arrecadação de ICMS é uma base que demonstra os resultados financeiros das atividades produtivas dos diferentes segmentos econômicos, em cada um dos municípios mato-grossenses, uma vez que o ICMS recolhido é resultante de um percentual aplicado sobre o faturamento das empresas. A metodologia adotada parte do cálculo do Índice de Concentração Normalizado (ICN) dos municípios do Estado de Mato Grosso, com base nos dados de arrecadação de ICMS do ano fiscal de 2008. O estudo revela que a arrecadação de ICMS se mostrou confiável e não se observa distorções nos resultados obtidos, considerando-se um indicativo aceitável para análise do comportamento do mercado. O ICMS, principal insumo dos programas de incentivo fiscal, desempenha papel importante nesse processo de crescimento e desenvolvimento regional, contribuindo como mais uma força de atração aglomerativa, na medida em que sua desoneração, parcial ou total, se reflete em ganho de competitividade para a cadeia produtiva do algodão.

Published: March 2017

O objetivo do presente artigo é compreender a configuração da gestão da Polícia Militar do Espírito Santo (PMES) no tocante as suas relações com o modelo burocrático e a sua transformação na direção de elementos da lógica da gestão empresarial. Para alcançá-lo inicialmente se discute a história das organizações policiais militares no Brasil (Demoner, 1985; Carvalho, 2005). Em seguida discute-se o modelo burocrático (Weber, 1978) da gestão pública tradicional e sua transformação para o modelo com lógica empresarial (Pereira, 1999), para estudar as relações entre esses modelos no contexto da PMES. Para a coleta de dados foram realizadas onze entrevistas semi-estruturadas com ex-comandantes Gerais da organização, além de pesquisa documental. Os dados foram tratados por meio da análise de conteúdo (Bardin, 2006). O resultado obtido aponta que a PMES – face ao culto às tradições e modos próprios – vem mudando muito lentamente a forma de enfrentar as novas demandas sociais a despeito da transição histórica ocorrida na sociedade brasileira. Observou-se forte presença de características burocráticas desde o regime militar, incluindo nesse caso muitas de suas disfunções que tem convivido com algumas características da lógica da gestão empresarial. Conclui-se que os obstáculos para a implantação de ferramentas da gestão empresarial na PMES estão presentes tanto em tradições que remontam ao regime militar brasileiro de 1964, quanto em limitações da própria administração em relação a demandas contemporâneas específicas sobre uma instituição como a PMES.

Published: March 2017

Hundreds of waterborne disease outbreaks (WBDO) of acute gastroenteritis (AGI) due to contaminated tap water are reported in developed countries each year. Such outbreaks are probably under-detected. The aim of our study was to develop an integrated approach to detect and study clusters of AGI in geographical areas with homogeneous exposure to drinking water. Data for the number of AGI cases are available at the municipality level while exposure to tap water depends on drinking water networks (DWN). These two geographical units do not systematically overlap. This study proposed to develop an algorithm which would match the most relevant grouping of municipalities with a specific DWN, in order that tap water exposure can be taken into account when investigating future disease outbreaks. A space-time detection method was applied to the grouping of municipalities. Seven hundred and fourteen new geographical areas (groupings of municipalities) were obtained compared with the 1,310 municipalities and the 1,706 DWN. Eleven potential WBDO were identified in these groupings of municipalities. For ten of them, additional environmental investigations identified at least one event that could have caused microbiological contamination of DWN in the days previous to the occurrence of a reported WBDO.

Authors: Sari R. Yosi Aprian , Dwandaru W. S. B.
Published: March 2017

This study aims to determine the thermodynamic properties of the parastatistics system of order two. The thermodynamic properties to be searched include the Grand Canonical Partition Function (GCPF) Z, and the average number of particles N. These parastatistics systems is in a more general form compared to quantum statistical distribution that has been known previously, i.e.: the Fermi-Dirac (FD) and Bose-Einstein (BE). Starting from the recursion relation of grand canonical partition function for parastatistics system of order two that has been known, recuresion linkages for some simple thermodynamic functions for parastatistics system of order two are derived. The recursion linkages are then used to calculate the thermodynamic functions of the model system of identical particles with limited energy levels which is similar to the harmonic oscillator. From these results we concluded that from the Grand Canonical Partition Function (GCPF), Z, the thermodynamics properties of parastatistics system of order two (paraboson and parafermion) can be derived and have similar shape with parastatistics system of order one (Boson and Fermion). The similarity of the graph shows similar thermodynamic properties. Keywords: parastatistics, thermodynamic properties

Published: March 2017

Abstract Gas sensor system is widely used for the detection of aroma. The main problem in this system is the sensor drift that makes poor reproducibility of the sensor. The reproducibility of the sensor can be improved by applying the feature selection of the sensor’s output response and baseline manipulation. This research focused on determining methods that can reduce the dift sensor of gas sensor by using  basaeline manipulation and selecting the optimal type of baseline manipulation when gas sensor system detects three different types of herbal drinks. The data that have been feature selected were then applied to three different types of baseline manipulation (differential, relative and fractional) and inserted into the pattern recognition system, Principal Component Analysis (PCA). From the analysis of PCA baseline manipulation that gives optimal results is differential one with the value of PC1 82.71%. This shows that differential baseline manipulation is effective in reducing the occurrence of sensor drift. Keywords: electronic nose, gas sensor, baseline manipulation, feature selection

Authors: Lop Nor Suzila , Ismail Kharizam , Mohd Isa Haryati
Published: March 2017

In Private Finance Initiative (PFI), payment for services is based on pre-determined standards and performance. Thus, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) have been used to measure this performance. However, lack of an effective KPIs was identified as a core criticism towards the implementation of PFI projects. Therefore, the objectives of the research are to identify the importance and challenges of KPIs in measuring this performance. A qualitative approach via semi-structured interview was adopted. The findings discovered that the current KPIs do not meet the criteria and this can lead to the difficulties in measuring the performance of PFI projects. The outcome of this research can serve as a theoretical base for the development of an effective KPIs for PFI projects implementation in Malaysia.Keywords: Challenges; Importance; Key Performance Indicators; Private Finance Initiative.ISSN: 2398-4287© 2017.

The prevalence of obesity around the world is increasing yearly. Dietary intake, physical inactivity, and sedentary lifestyle are the common causes of obesity. This situation has created an urge to improve a healthy eating environment in the community. Eating outside is more common nowadays especially during working hours. Workers normally will have their meal at the cafeteria. Their dietary intake is directly affected by the availability of food choices at the cafeteria. Thus, a qualitative study was conducted to identify the perceptions of healthy cafeteria among food operators in Selangor, Malaysia. Eleven food handlers at three selected cafeterias were recruited by a convenience sampling based on the inclusion criteria of the study. The respondents consist of three full-time managers, five full-time food handlers, and three full-time cleaners. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the aid of video and audio recording. The phenomenon of interest was to explore the perceptions, suggestions, challenges and limitation of healthy cafeteria practice among cafeteria operators. The interview transcripts were analysed verbatim based on the objectives and identified themes of the study. Themes include food safety, food handling course, food availability, methods of cooking, foods’ hygiene and sanitation. Findings showed that most of the respondents have the similar understanding of healthy cafeteria in which includes healthy menu and clean environment. The respondents also have the knowledge on food safety. The challenges faced by the food handlers were making sure every staff has the correct understanding of healthy foods, using the safe kitchen utensils and financial constraint. Regarding promoting healthy cafeteria environment, the respondents suggested to provide printed educational materials, serve healthy menu selections, organise healthy eating campaign and provide appropriates kitchen utensils. This study revealed that training on food safety and education on healthy food choices are important to provide a healthy eating environment.Keywords: Obesity; Healthy Cafeteria, Food Safety; Healthy Eating.ISSN: 2398-4287© 2017.

Published: March 2017

The purpose was to explore the gap between China and the international world in efficiency measurement of hospitals with Data Envelopment Analysis, and to improve the standardization of healthcare efficiency measurement in China. A systematic review was conducted using appropriate search strategies. Studies were included containing DEA approaches regarding general hospital efficiency, published in international literature and in both Chinese and English about Chinese hospitals from January 2004 to October 2014. The results showed that statistical significances were found in indicators such as number of DMUs, percentage of allocative efficiency studies, ratio of studies with multiple years, number of studies with monetary indicators in input and output sets, etc. The statistical insignificance in some indicators such as the number of input and output indicators were also found among China, Europe, USA and others. Some problems were found in current DEA-based hospital efficiency studies in China, such as inappropriate selection of input-output indicators, no bias-correction on efficiency scores, etc. The standardization of DEA methods applied in China’s hospital efficiency research needs to be improved. Chinese researchers should pay more attention to latest international research findings, so as to keep pace with the cutting edge hospital efficiency research.
