Over the past 30 years, forest fire has been one of main ecological issues in Indonesia. Human-caused deforestation was accused to be the reason behind this matter, apart from the drastic changing in global climate. Palangkaraya is one of the citiesaffected by haze of the forest fire in 2015; considered to be the worst year of forest fire with the value of PM10 was above the normal threshold. As the impact to the community wellbeing, the prevalence of acute respiratory infection (ARI) in October 2015was increasing especially in children. The research aimed to analyse the spatial distribution of children with ARI in October 2015 at Palangkaraya City. Data onARI number were collected from Primary Care under Public Health Office of Palangkaraya City. The PM 10 value was collected bythe Environmental Agency of Palangkaraya City. The spatial analyse method was conducted using theAverage Nearest Neighbour (ANN) method. The result shows that the number of ANN ratio is 0.761801. It means that the distribution pattern of children with ARI in Central Kalimantan during the forest fire in October 2015 was in cluster form.

ABSTRAK

Tuberculosis (TB) is a highly infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Nevertheless, the incidence of BTA smear-positive pulmonary TB cases is reported increasing yearly in Ponorogo Regency. this study aimed to analyze the predictive incidence of pulmonary TB disease in Ponorogo Regency from 2016 to 2020. This quantitative descriptive study adopted trend-time-series-cross-section method. The population and sample were garnered from the data of BTA smear-positive TB cases based on the patients' age and gender between 2011 and 2015 in Ponorogo Regency. the distribution of BTA smear-positive pulmonary TB cases from 2011 to 2015 tended to increase with the number of cases of 276, 392, 378, 293 and 334 respectively. Once predicted, cases of Pulmonary TB from 2016 to 2020 will decrease with cases of 299, 348, 366, 352 and 306, respectively. the trend-time-series analysis results showed that the incidence of BTA smear-positive pulmonary TB based on the patient's age group, gender, comorbidity and nutritional status would likely to increase in Ponorogo Regency in the coming years. Abstrak Tuberkulosis (TBC) merupakan suatu penyakit infeksi yang disebabkan oleh bakteri Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Kasus tuberkulosis paru dengan BTA positif di Kabupaten Ponorogo semakin tahun semakin meningkat. secara umum tujuan penelitian untuk menganalisa prevalensi prediksi kejadian penyakit Tuberkulosis Paru di Kabupaten Ponorogo Tahun 2016 sampai 2020. penelitian ini merupakan studi deskriptif kuantitatif menggunakan desain cross sectional dengan pendekatan analisis time series metode trend. Populasi dan sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh data kasus TB Paru BTA Positif yang didalamnya tercantum umur dan jenis kelamin penderita selama tahun 2011-2015 di Kabupaten Ponorogo. Distribusi kasus TB Paru BTA Positif pada periode tahun 2011-2015 cenderung meningkat cenderung meningkat dengan jumlah kasus masing-masing 276, 392, 378, 293 dan 334 kasus. Setelah diprediksikan, kasus TB Paru pada tahun 2016-2020 akan menurun dengan kasus masing-masing sebesar 299, 348, 366, 352, dan 306. Berdasarkan hasil analisis time series dengan metode trend menunjukkan bahwa hasil prediksi penyakit Tuberkulosis paru BTA positif berdasarkan usia di Kabupaten Ponorogo akan mengalami penurunan.

Cinnamon is a member of the family Lauracea that is popular as an aromatic evergreen tree or shrub. In daily life cinnamon is used in fragrance of many things such as foodstuffs, perfumes, and medical products. Cinnamon contains polyphenols such as vanillic, gallic, protocatechuic, and ferulic acids, as well as eugenol that are dominantly found in its leaf. Cinnamon also contains antidiabetic, antibacterial, and antihemorrhagic agents. As antidiabetic agent, cinnamon decreases blood sugar in diabetic patients, but its effect on adiponectin is rare. This study was carried out to find out about the effect of steeping cinnamon on the adiponectin level indiabetic rats. Fifteen Sprague Dawley Rats were divided into three groups: normal, uncontrolled diabetic, and group treated by steeping cinnamon at a dose of 150mg/kg/day. Serum was collected during 14 days. Adiponectin was measured with ELISA method. The result of the study revealed that group I was used as the normal adiponectin values (733 ± 200 ng / mL to 763 ± 142.5 ng / mL). Adiponectin levels decreased in diabetic rats (group two) (p = 0.07). On the other hand, a group treated by steeping cinnamon at a dose of 150mg/kg/day showed an increased level of adiponectin (1.4%-34.5%). To summarize, cinnamon water could increase the adiponectin level in diabetic rats.

Non-communicable disease (NCD) screening training aims to provide skills in determining a person's health condition based on body mass index (BMI) and simple blood tests. Health cadres who have been equipped with the skills to determine BMI and simple blood tests can then detect NCD in the community independently. Nutrition training aims to provide skills in calculating nutritional adequacy from a daily menu. Educational videos on simple blood tests were made to replace hands-on training due to limitations of the covid19 protocol. Before and after training, pre and posttest were carried out. The training was attended by 15 health cadres in Gamping Kidul Village, Ambarketawang, Gamping, Sleman, Yogyakarta. The average score before training was 67.14, increasing to 73.57 thereafter. Paired T-test analysis showed no significant difference in pre and posttest scores (p = 0.076). After receiving the training, it is hoped that health cadres can carry out screening independently around their respective homes, so that early detection of NCD in the community can take place, then prevention can be carried out so that it does not become a fatal complication. It was concluded that the training could improve health cadres' understanding of PTM screening, prevention and calculating a balanced nutritious diet but not significant.

The increasing number of elderly on these recent days demands an improved quality of health for the elderly. Independence of the elderly is important in order to be happy and not to be a burden on their families. Health monitoring continuously is an effort to prevent disruption on the health conditions of the elderly. The health status of elderly people is important to know to follow up on prevention programs for the emergence of certain diseases in the elderly. This study aims to look for potential health problems for elderly people in Gamping, Sleman, DIY, Indonesia. The method of this research was cross sectional analysis using secondary data. Sample collection is consecutive subjects. Subjects were 158 people with a mean age of men (67.8 ± 7.1) years while women were 67.5 ± 7.3 years. The data was analyzed using the bivariate correlation test with CI 99%. The results of the analysis showed that the average body mass index with an average waist circumference was positively correlated (r= 0.66; p: 0.000), but did not correlate with systole pressure (r= -0.009; p= 0.97) diastole (r= 0.093; p= 0.477), age (-0.05; p= 0.71), and gender (r= -0.146; p= 0. 27). The potential health problems among the elderly is the risk of high BMI due to the larger waist circumference

BACKGROUND: Aging is a normal physiological process. The aspect of aging can be delayed by a measurable activity that is carried out early and regularly also intake health nutrition. Measurement of body composition is needed to analyze physiological changes due to aging so it can be used to compile a program of activities also diet to delay the aging process. AIM: The aim of this study is to address the potential risks during aging process in people with light physical activity in Gamping, Patukan. METHODS: Method of this research is the cross-sectional method. Subjects were 190 females with light physical activity that divided into Group 1 (70 females) with an average age 43.71 ± 5.37 years old and Group 2 (120 females) with an average age 61.72 ± 6.82 years old. Body composition was measured by the whole body composition diagnostic scale BG21. RESULTS: The result showed that t-test between Group 1 and Group 2 was significant differences p < 0.05, CI = 0.95 in weight body, body mass index (BMI), muscle mass, bone mass, and active metabolism rate (AMR). The percentage decreasing number for body composition was 13.5%, 12.5%, 8.9%, 4.2%, 25.9%, and 12.8% on weight, BMI, muscle mass, bone mass, and AMR, respectively. CONCLUSION: Female with light activity has a risk as sarcopenia and bone loss during aging. The future programme of this community need to encourage of increasing the physic activity and improving life style to slow the bone loss and muscle loss.
