Differences in Gross Motor Skills of Preschool Children Aged 5-6 Years Before and After Playing the Traditional Engklek Game | Author : Mery Retnoningdiah, Rosyidah Alfitri, Widia Shofa Ilmiah | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Background: Gross motor skills are important for a childs survival because they are stimulated during childhood, which is a long time to practice everything that will be carried into adulthood. According to national data, in Indonesia, 11% of children below the age of 5 experience growth and development disorders. The purpose of this research was to analyze the differences on the childs gross motor skills before and after the traditional engklek game at Dharma Wanita Tisnogambar Kindergarten, Jember Regency. Methods: Pre-experimental is the method used in this research with a one-group pre-post test approach. With a total population of 30 Dharma Wanita Tisnogambar Kindergarten children and a sample of 16, the SOP for playing crank and gross motor observation sheets, the intervention was carried out for 2 weeks with 4 meetings, the Wilcoxon Match Pairs Test is the analysis used by the researchers. Results: The results of the gross motoric research before the game were carried out in the BB category of as many as 11 children (68.8%) and in the MB category of as many as 5 children (31.3%). Meanwhile, after the game was played, the results were in the BSB category, namely 10 people (62.5%), in the BSH category, namely 4 people (25%), and 2 other people were in the MB category (12.5%). The results of the analysis show that there are differences on the childs gross motor skills before and after the traditional engklek game, the p-value is 0.03 = - 0.05. Conclusions: The conclusion is that before and after the traditional engklek game, there are differences in the gross motor skills of children in kindergarten. |
| Risk of Zoonotic Transmission of COVID-19 during Eid-Ul-Fitr in Pakistan | Author : Abdul Qader, Hamza Tariq, Muhammad Khawar Hayat | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Eid-ul-Fitr is an auspicious festival that is expected to celebrate by millions of Muslims across the world including Pakistan by the end of April. The Delta variant of COVID-19 is way more harmful than any other variants. The spread of virus still remains very high in large festival gatherings like Eid ul Fitr instead of strictly following SOPs. The mass migration of people across the country during festival is of main concern that leads to increase spread of virus. It is imperative that government officials along with community leaders, religious scholars and health authorities should take part in mitigating risks of virus transmission with serious measures. As general public is not much aware of the COVID-19 complications, it becomes significant to educate illiterate people through various approaches like to give them awareness about virus, its symptoms, preventive measures and significance of vaccination. Communication in their local language that is easily comprehendible and in persuasive way greatly impacts the public and empowers them to adapt healthy behavior that helps to mitigate the risk of virus transmission. |
| Risk Factors of Malaria Transmission Dynamics Among Sand Mining Workers in the Kombos West Coast Region, The Gambia | Author : Babucarr Jassey, Ririh Yudhastuti, Khuliyah Candraning Diyanah, Hourunisa Hourunisa, Muhammad Rasyid Ridha, Reny Indrayani, Musfirah Musfirah, Eka Nur Sejati, Buba Manjang | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Background: Malaria eradication by 2030 is the UN third Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). However, malaria still poses a severe threat to public health, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, which includes The Gambia. The present study explores the factors that impact malaria transmission among artisanal small-scale miners (ASSM) in three districts in the West Coast Region of The Gambia: Kombo East, Kombo Central, and Kombo South. Methods: The researchers carried out a cross-sectional study using one hundred participants from the study area. Using a logistic regression model, the researchers looked at risk variables linked to malaria incidence in the Kombos. Results: Age (Adjusted Prevalence Ratio (APR) = 7.989 with 95% Confidence Interval (CI 1.724–37.002) and the existence of mosquito breeding places (APR = 7.685 with 95% Confidence Interval (CI 1.502–39.309) were shown to be risk variables for malaria in the multivariable analysis. On the other hand, protective factors included higher education level (APR = 0.104 with 95% CI 0.027-0.403), using insect repellents (APR = 0.138 with 95% CI 0.035-0.549), and the state of inside home walls (APR = 0.145 with 95% CI 0.0414-0.511). Conclusions: According to this study findings, the Gambia malaria risk variables include age and the presence of mosquito breeding grounds. In addition, having greater knowledge, using insect repellents, and having well-maintained interior walls are all protective factors against malaria. In order to eradicate malaria in Gambia mining regions, it is strongly advised to decrease risk factors and increase prevention measures through effective communication, information, and education. |
| The Effect of Prenatal Yoga on Emesis Gravidarum in the First Trimester Pregnant Women | Author : Sri Mahmut Ambar Wati, Nila Widya Keswara, Rifzul Maulina | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Background: Increased levels of progesterone, estrogen, and HCG (chorionic gonadotropin hormone) during the first trimester of pregnancy can produce morning sickness, also known as emesis gravidarum (nausea and vomiting). To lessen the release of hormones that induce anxiety, severe nausea, and vomiting, prenatal yoga practitioners can block the stimulation of sympathetic nerves by practicing muscle relaxation. This study aims to ascertain how prenatal yoga affects first-trimester emesis gravidarum. Method: This study used a pre-experimental design with a pretest-posttest design in one group, involving 16 mothers who had emesis gravidarum at PMB Fatimah Bandung Rejosari, Sukun, Malang. Data collection was done using the questionnaire. Results: The result was that two prenatal yoga sessions over two weeks demonstrated significant benefits. Prenatal yoga affects emesis gravidarum in the first trimester of pregnancy, as indicated by the independent t-test technique (2-tailed) of 0.000 <0.005. Discussion: Steroid hormones can slow down stomach emptying, which causes emesis gravidarum. Excessive or low cortisol levels can be brought back to normal with yoga. Yoga offers numerous mental and physical health advantages. Conclusion We can conclude that the course of treatment impacts the severity of emesis gravidarum, or nausea and vomiting, during the first trimester of pregnancy. |
| Understanding of Nanofiber Face Mask as Corona Virus Disease Prevention in Human | Author : Tofan Agung Eka Prasetya, Indiah Ratna Dewi, Muhamad Rifki Taufik, Khandaker Fadwana Islam | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Background: Corona virus has become a global issue. It makes various countries have taken this outbreak very seriously. One of the necessary precautions is by using a face mask. The nanofiber technology on face masks greatly helps the public and government to increase the prevention of disease spread. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic literature review on nanofiber face masks as human corona virus disease prevention. Methods: Stages of systematic literature review of 632 documents was carried out using text mining techniques, while hierarchical cluster analysis were carried out for the extraction of terms in documents. Results: The terms "mask" and "nanofiber" were the most words that appear (more than 40 times) in the WoS and PubMed nanofiber mask document form. On the other hand, the terms "disease" and "respiration" mostly appeared in human corona virus disease prevention. Both of these terms were used to obtain specific articles as a basis for the study of nanofiber mask as human corona disease prevention. Conclusion: This study is very important since prevention measures against corona disease (corvid-19) are a very high concern. The next study is expected to bring this review literature into an experimental study of nanofiber applied to face masks. |
