Abstract:Ecological studies on the vector species diversity usually focused on particular habitats and not a comparative study. Therefore, a research has been carried out to see the variation from one of many aspects which affects the condition of a habitat such as altitude. This study aimed to determine the Anopheles spp. species diversity between highland and lowland captured in the research of Vektora 2015 This study is a further analysis of Vektora Research Data from 2015 to 2016 in East Nusa Tenggara Province.

“…14 Study conducted by Widawati in East Nusa Tenggara had found that Anopheles annularis is the most commonly Anopheles found in the lowlands whereas Anopheles vagus is the most commonly Anopheles found in the highlands of East Nusa Tenggara Province. 15 The environmental conditions are different for each endemic area and it becomes locally unique for local governments to intervene in dealing with malaria. A study conducted in Nunukan Regency, East Kalimantan, found that the presence of livestock near home had a p-value of 0.217, which did not have a significant effect.…”
More than half of the areas in East Nusa Tenggara province, a province in the eastern part of Indonesia, are planned to be free from malaria by the end of 2030. However, one of the critical indicators for malaria elimination is still lacking, i.e. vectors’ environment and breeding place indicators. South Central Timor (SCT) District is one of the areas with the highest Annual Parasite Incidence (API) >2‰ with the majority of the population works as farmers. The purpose of this study was to capture the relationship between environmental factors and the prevalence of malaria. This study was a cross-sectional analytic retrospective study using data from a previous malaria study conducted in August 2013 to September 2014 in 5 sub-districts of SCT district. All respondents were selected using the systematic random sampling approach from the population of healthy people. Data were collected using a standard questionnaire and an observation environment form. Malaria was confirmed through microscopic and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) examinations. Data were then analyzed using the bivariate and multivariate analysis with 95% CI and α:0.05. Of 357 data collected, 35% (125/357) were malaria positive based on PCR examination. Two variables (living nearby lagoon and nearby rice field) were significant (p-value<0.05) as vector shelters for Anopheles sp. Thus, these have to be included as inputs to formulate effective and efficient malaria elimination strategies and programs in 2030.

“…Penelitian ini dilakukan pada daerah dataran tinggi, Dataran tinggi/pegunungan merupakan bagian permukaan bumi yang mendatar dan terletak pada ketinggian lebih dari 600 m di atas permukaan laut. 8 Banjar Lumbuan, Desa Sulahan, Kecamatan Susut, Kabupaten Bangli merupakan desa yang berada di Kabupaten Bangli yang secara geografis desa ini terletak 1.219 m diatas permukaan laut. Desa ini memiliki iklim tropis dengan suhu udara relatif rendah berkisar antara 15 0 C -30 0 C. Jumlah penduduk di desa Lumbuan adalah 847 jiwa dan jumlah lansia di desa Lumbuan sekitar 184 orang.…”
Pendahuluan: Daya tahan kardiorespirasi merupakan salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi kapasitas fisik lansia. Semakin baik daya tahan kardiorespirasi lansia maka akan semakin baik pula kapasitas fisiknya Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kapasitas fisik lansia yang terlatih di daerah dataran tinggi dengan pendekatan Balloon blowing exercise sebagai salah satu latihan pernapasan dengan menggunakan balon yang dimodifikasi dengan cara menarik nafas lewat hidung kemudian menghembuskannya lewat mulut sambil meniup balon.
Metode: Rancangan penelitian ini adalah pre-eksperimental grup (quasi eksperimental) dengan one group pretest and postest design, dengan jumlah subjek penelitian yaitu 12 orang lansia laki-laki. Intervensi ballon-blowing exercise diberikan dalam frekuensi satu kali sehari selama dua minggu.
Hasil: Analisis paired t-test menunjukkan nilai p = 0,000 (p<0,05) yang berarti bahwa pemberian ballon-blowing exercise efektif dalam meningkatkan daya tahan kardiorespirasi pada lansia di dataran tinggi.
Kesimpulan: Pelatihan ballon-blowing mampu meningkatkan kapasitas fisik daya tahan kardiorespirasi pada lansia di dataran tinggi.
Kata kunci: balloon blowing exercise daya tahan kardiorespirasi, kapasitas fisik lansia
“…Hal yang sama terdapat pada penelitian Abolla et al, (2018) yang mengemukakan bahwa elevasi atau ketinggian tempat merupakan penentu keberhasilan pembangunan pertanian karena memiliki hubungan dengan suhu serta kelembaban udara, dimana semakin tinggi tempat pertanian maka suhunya akan menurun dan kelembaban akan meningkat. Menurut Widawati et al, (2018) area dataran tinggi terletak pada ketinggian 600meter diatas permukaan laut. Sedangkan menurut Supriastuti, (2021) dataran tinggi merupakan dataran yang terletak pada area ketinggian diatas 700meter diatas permukaan laut.…”
Kemiskinan dibidang pertanian adalah salah satu dari sekian persoalan yang hingga saat ini belum teratasi. Terdapat berbagai cara untuk mengatasinya, namun hal tersebut masih belum juga dapat menjadi solusi atas persoalan kemiskinan dibidang pertanian. Penelitian ini ditujukan untuk memberi gambaran terkait pengaruh teknologi digital pada bidang pertanian khususnya dataran tinggi. Lokasi yang dipilih untuk penelitian ini adalah Kabupaten Malang, karena jumlah kemiskinan di Kabupaten Malang tergolong tinggi dengan angka sebesar 265 ribu penduduk miskin. Metode yang digunakan berupa kualitatif dengan menggunakan proses wawancara demi mendapatkan data yang akurat dari kelompok tani dataran tinggi serta Dinas Tanaman Pangan, Hortikultura, dan Perkebunan Kabupaten Malang yang bertanggung jawab atas pembangunan dan pengembangan sektor pertanian. Temuan dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa teknologi digital sudah relevan untuk mengatasi kemiskinan dibidang pertanian dataran tinggi karena dapat menekan biaya produksi serta secara tidak langsung berdampak terhadap pengelolaan keuangan para petani.
