Hygienic Analysis of Micronutrients Consumption Degree in Daily Diet of the Pupils that Live in Rural Conditions of Fergana Valley

/in /by

The research involves 481 (61,3%) male and 303 (38,7%) female pupils in the hygienic assessment of daily consumption of micronutrients by the children and teenagers that live in rural areas of the Fergana region. The research assesses the conformity of the diet of pupils with the San NandR 0007-2020 requirements of “The average daily diet norms for providing a healthy diet for age, gender and professional groups of the population of the Republic of Uzbekistan”. During winter-spring and summer-autumn seasons, pupil’s consumption degree of bakery products tends to be 133,7-115,6%, their consumption of mung bean, phaseolus, and cicer of legume products is 2,3 times less in the winter-spring season and 2,1 times less in the summer-autumn season, and their consumption of rice and porridge is 56,6-43,3% in relation with the norm. Moreover, there are not enough fish, dairy, and meat products in their diet. However, sugar, confectionery, and margarine exceed the norm 1,7 times in the winter-spring season and 1,3 times in the summer-autumn season. In the consumption of micronutrients, retinol reaches 79,8-93,8% and 81,1-91,8%, tocopherol reaches 63,8-73,5%, and other vitamins also don’t conform with the physiologic norm and hypovitaminosis causes difficulties in pupils’ growth and development.

Proposed Social Marketing Campaign to Increase Blood Donation and Active Users in Reblood Application (Case Study: PT Gaya Hidup Sehat)

/in /by

Every five second, people in Indonesia needs blood. Blood donation is essential in every country to helps patients survive from illnesses and injuries. Indonesia Red Cross (PMI) has released the data of blood donation in 2020, there were 3,5 million blood bags has collected across Indonesia. With current situation, Indonesia still needs to fulfil minimum 5,2 million blood bags (2% of the Indonesian population) per year. Those condition that motivate PT Gaya Hidup Sehat to take a part to solve the problem of shortage blood donors by implementing the healthcare technology with Reblood application. Reblood aimed to provide all of information related with blood donation that currently still limited, not accessible and not integrating each other’s. Since it first launched in 2018 until now, Reblood has acquired 60,748 active users with more than 40,000 blood donations collected and transferred to PMI. However, in 2020 until 2021 the number of active users has decreased significantly almost 70% due to pandemic Covid-19. This research was conducted to increase Reblood’s active users and encourage more people to do blood donation in order to fulfill blood bags capacity.  337 respondents was participating on the survey to analyze the motivation, barriers, and knowledge and behavior to do blood donation. The result of those analysis then formulate using Social Marketing Framework by Philip Kotler and Nancy R.Lee. The findings in this research enriches the strategy of behavioral changes with the use of social marketing approach for increasing blood donation campaign.

Man Wild-Life Conflict in Katra (Jammu and Kashmir)

/in /by

The study was carried out in two main blocks of Reasi district that is Panthal and katra and few villages prone to man-wildlife conflicts, namely: Manion, Kunya, Manoon, baniya, sool, kakryal, dadoora, Chak Bhagtha. As human population extends to wild animal habitats, Natural life territory is displaced. The population density of wildlife and human overlaps increasing their interaction thus resulting in increase physical conflict. Increase in the population results in decrease of the forest area. Majority of the people are living near the forest area and they are encroaching the area, they directly or indirectly interfering in the habitat of wild animals. Mostly the people of these villages are dependent on the agriculture; few have their owned business like shops. In the study area, the causative factors regarding these conflicts have been identified as natural attraction towards crop and scarcity of food. Monkeys have been found to be the most problematic animals, followed by leopard and bear.

/in /by

Jordan was one of the first Middle Eastern countries to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors of this paper examined the Jordanian government’s persuasive appeals in defense orders issued between March and August 2020 to contain the pandemic.

Overall, these results advance our comprehension of the effects of persuasive appeals on publics attitudes and intentions.

Islamic Religious Education Learning Strategies for Special Need Students in State Special Need Schools Indonesia

/in /by

This paper aims to investigate the strategy of Islamic religious education teaching to special needs students at a state special needs school in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative approach to understanding the teaching strategies and their impact on special needs students with most of them being deaf, blind, and mentally retarded. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and written material. Data analysis was carried out using a thematic process through a reduction process, data presentation, and data verification of the validity of the data. The results of the study show that the implementation of Islamic religious education learning for disabled students has been carried out with innovative strategies such as using practicum and role model strategies. The teachers also use interesting media to make the disabled students interesting in learning Islamic religious education. As a result, disabled students are improved in cognitive, affective, and psychometric aspects relating to Islamic education.   This study contributes to academic and to practice that might be implemented in other special needs school contexts.

Prevalence of Meticillin Resistance Staphylococcus Aureus in Patients with Lower Respiratory Tract Infections

/in /by

Background: Lower respiratory tract infection (LRTIs) is an emerging and threatening disease of both adults and children.  Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) remains a life threatening pathogens that may colonize the lungs and cause Staphylococcal related lower respiratory tract infection. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with MRSA infection among individuals with lower respiratory tract infections in a community setting.

Method: A structured questionnaire consisting of demographic characteristics, antibiotic usage, social life habits were administered to 152 participants, comprising of 80 males and 72 females. The subjects were selected based on non- hospitalization for the past six months. Sputum samples were collected and cultured unto Mannitol Salt agar. The Staphylococcus aureus isolates were sub-cultured unto Chromagar MRSA for MRSA identification. The isolates were subjected to antibiotic susceptibility testing, using disc diffusion method.

Result: The MRSA were highly resistant to Ampiclox (96.2%), Amoxcillin (92.3%), Rifampicin and Streptomycin (80.8%), Norfloxacin (76.9%), Erythromycin and Chroramphenicol (69.2%), and Levofloxacin (65.4%).

Conclusion: This study showed that MRSA is implicated in LRTIs and is brought about by improper therapy and lack of awareness.

Studies of Ag Diffusion Processes into Thin-Film As2s3 Structures Doped With Sn under the Exposure of X-Ray Radiation

/in /by

The processes of silver diffusion into thin-film structures (As2S3)0,995Sn0,005 under the X-ray radiation were studied. Thin-film layers of silver, about 12 nm thick, were deposited by vacuum thermal evaporation on the (As2S3)0,995Sn0,005 surface. The thin layer structures were irradiated with X-ray radiation in the range of absorbed doses of 0,3-0,6 Gy using the X-ray tube with a copper anode (voltage 45 kV, current 40 mA) as an X-ray source without any filters (the continuous spectrum of X-ray, or “white” spectrum). The possibility of X-ray images recording with their subsequent visualization using the chemical etching in a 5% solution of NaOH is shown.
