Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kondisi dan fenomena sosial budaya secara empirik. Metode yang digunakan adalah survai data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan Fokus Group Discussion (FGD) sumber data adalah pejabat pemerintah, tokoh adat, tokoh agama, tokoh masyarakat, dan para pemuda di Provinsi NTT. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa gatra sosial budaya dapat memperkuat ketahanan nasional masyarakat NTT untuk berpacu bersama daerah lainnya di Indonesia. Di propinsi NTT, gatra “Sosial Budaya” termasuk kategori cukup tangguh, gatra “Kerukunan Sosial” dan “Perilaku Sosial” sangat tangguh, gatra “Pendidikan” dan “Kesehatan” termasuk dalam kategori kurang tangguh, “Penya-kit Sosial” dan “Ketertiban Sosial” termasuk dalam kategori tangguh, Indikator “Keluarga” dan “Pemberdayaan Perem-puan” dalam kategori cukup tangguh.Kata kunci: Pengukuran, Gatra Sosial Budaya, Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT)______________________________________________________________ MEASUREMENT OF SOCIOCULTURAL DIMENSIONS IN THE PROVINCE OF EAST NUSA TENGGARAAbstract This study aimed to investigate socioclutural conditions and phenomena empirically. The data were collected through observations, interviews, and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The data sources included government officials, traditional leaders, religious figures, community leaders, and youth in the Province of East Nusa Tenggara (ENT). The findings show that sociocultural dimensions are capable of strengthening the national endurance of the ENT society to go along together with other provinces in Indonesia. In the province of ENT, the sociocultural dimensions are moderately strong, the dimensions of social cohesion and behaviors are very strong, the dimensions of education and health are not strong, the dimensions of social pathology and order are strong, and the indicators of family and women’s empowerment are moderately strong.Keywords: measurement, sociocultural dimensions, East Nusa Tenggara (ENT) SimakBaca secara fonetik
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by Dengue virus. In 2016, the number of DHF patients in areas of Health services of Rowosari was 247 cases, IR 289.6/100.000 populations and the highest number of the patients was from Meteseh Village. The most usual mechanism happened in the vertical transmission, transovarial infection, from adult mosquito to the egg. The study was conducted to describe of entomological status of House Index (HI), Container Index (CI), Breteau Index (BI), House index (HI), Ovitrap Index (OI) of larvae as well as transovarial infection in Aedes sp. The research method was descriptive method by conducting test to the entomology status of DHF incidence. Based on the survey in Meteseh sub-village (XVI), a result found that average House Index 8.99%, Container Index 2.88%, Breteau Index 16.40%, HI 8,99 Ovitrap Index 35.46% with the egg density at 1.023 eggs. The identified mosquitoes were 30, and from the identification result of Aedes sp., two Aedes species were found, 28 Aedes aegypti,and only 2 Aedes albopictus. The transovarial infection in Aedes sp. using ELISA method was found 6 mosquito samples which were positive of dengue virus, with the detail in neighborhood 01 (1 sample), neighborhood 02 (2 samples), neighborhood 03 (3 samples). DHF in Meteseh Sub village in Semarang City was probably happened because correlated with transovarial infection.
Semarang, the capital city of Central Java Province, is one of the endemic areas in Indonesia with increasing case fatality rate in the last three years. Accordingly, the educational intervention is fundamentally requested. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of health education intervention on the community knowledge improvement and its implication for reducing the rat populations. The study was performed using field experiment with pretest and post test designs. A total of 55 cadres and housewives joining on the various education program at Sumurboto Village, Banyumanik Sub district, Semarang was used as research subjects. The health education interventions introduced in the study were counselling and mentoring. ,Data were analyzed using paired t-test. The results revealed that the knowledge of the subject research significantly increased and the rat populations significantly decreased after being given the educational intervention. The rat species identified in Sumurboto Village were Rattus norvegicus, R. tanezumi, R. exulans and Suncus murinus. The knowledge score before and after the intervention was 80.87 and 88.83 respectively. Meanwhile, the rat populations measured by trap success method reduced from 8% to 6% after the intervention. Nevertheless, the rat population in Sumurboto Village is considerably relative high indicating that the village possessed a high risk on leptospirosis attack. It is strongly suggested that the health education intervention in the community should be regularly maintained in order to accelerate the knowledge of leptospirosis and reduce the rat populations.
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) caused by dengue virus transmitted by Aedes aegypti (Ae. Aegypti) that lives and breeds in clean water. The aim of the study was to analyze the difference of the longevity and development of Ae. aegypti larva in the difference pH of domestic sewage water. This experimental used post only control group design to analyze population of Ae. aegypti instar III larvae which was bred in the
Malaria has been a health problem in Indonesia, including in sub-district Kaligesing, district Purworejo of Central Java Province. Malaria has also been identified as an endemic especially in the villages of Jatirejo, Kaliharjo, and Somongari. The purpose of this study was to describe the epidemiology of malaria incidence based on distribution of cases, surrounding house related cases, and the Anopheles breeding place of malaria vectors. This descriptive based research with a case study approach investigated 61 malaria cases as respondents from 2016-2018 in Jatirejo, Kaliharjo and Somongari Villages sampled using total population method. The chosen variables were behaviour and environment of the respondents in relation to the presence of Anopheles vector breeding grounds. Data were analyzed descriptively and displayed in tables and maps. The results of the analysis showed that the average age of the malaria sufferer was 34 years old, male (60.7%), and most of them (45%) were coconut farmers. The most common symptoms of malaria experienced by respondents were fever, chills, headaches, and night sweats. In addition, 24.6% did not use insecticide-treated netting while sleeping. Spatially, the highest distribution of malaria cases was identified in Jatirejo Village, as its topography is plateau with a plantation area. Meanwhile, the existence of breeding places was found surrounding respondents’ houses. To prevent from having malaria, people have been advised to take precautions by wearing long clothes when going out at night, using repellents/anti-mosquito treatments, providing larvicides at breeding sites around their house.
