Full text linkBackground: Indonesia remains one of the countries with the highest tuberculosis (TB) burden globally. In Poso District, the 2023 Case Detection Rate (CDR) reached only 65.87%, still below the national target of 75%. Low case detection contributes to delayed diagnosis, persistent community transmission, and failure to reach TB elimination targets. Objective: To analyze factors associated with the performance of health cadres in detecting TB cases in the working area of Tagolu Primary Health Center, Poso District.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study involved all active health cadres (n=52) selected through total sampling. Data were collected using validated structured questionnaires. Variables included fear of infection, stigma, motivation, rewards, and cadre performance. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests with a significance level of α = 0.05.
Results: Three variables were significantly associated with cadre performance: fear of TB transmission (p = 0.024), motivation (p = 0.004), and rewards (p = 0.039). Stigma was not significantly associated (p = 0.579). Most cadres had high fear of infection (63.5%), low motivation (57.7%), and perceived rewards as adequate (69.2%). A total of 61.5% demonstrated good performance in TB case detection.
Conclusion: Fear of infection, motivation, and rewards are significant determinants of cadre performance in TB case detection. Improving protective equipment availability, strengthening training, and implementing sustainable reward mechanisms are essential to enhance early TB detection in the communit
Application of Mirror Therapy to Muscle Strength in Non-Hemorrhagic Stroke Patients: A Case Study
Full text linkBackground: One of the therapies that can be used in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients to increase muscle strength is mirror therapy. Mirror therapy is a form of rehabilitation or distance exercise that relies on the patient\u27s motor imagination and imagination using a mirror as a visual stimulation that can be imitated by the part of the body that is disturbed. The mirror stimulates cortical and spinal motors. The parts of the body that are affected tend to mimic mirror reflections, which aids in the recovery process of the extremities. This study aims to apply mirror therapy to physical mobility in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients.
Methods: A descriptive case study on one subject, namely Mrs. S who was diagnosed with a non-hemorrhagic stroke with major nursing problems of physical mobility disorders and was given mirror therapy. The mirror used is 35x30x20 cm for the upper extremities and 30x55x30 cm for the lower extremities. This therapy is carried out for 8 days with a frequency of 1x a day which is done in the afternoon for 30 minutes every day. The ethical approval was issued by the Ethics Commission of the Kendari Ministry of Health\u27s Polytechnics.
Results: After being given mirror therapy to Mrs. S for 8 days, physical mobility increased with the value of the muscle strength of the lower left extremity from 2 to 4 while the upper left extremity did not experience an increase due to more severe nerve damage in the upper left extremity
Conclusion: Physical mobility improved in Mrs. S with the administration of mirror therapy for 8 days. This therapy can be applied in health services, especially in stroke patients with limb weakness

Utilization of Black Soldier Fly Larvae in Restaurant Waste Management in Tanjung Ayun Sakti Village
Full text linkBackground: The management of organic waste from restaurants in urban areas remains a significant environmental challenge because it contributes to pollution and increased greenhouse gas emissions. Bioconversion using Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae offers a promising solution for the rapid decomposition of organic waste while producing biomass products that have economic value. This study aims to evaluate the performance of BSF larvae with different initial weights (10 g, 20 g, and 30 g) in processing organic waste from restaurants.
Methods: This experimental study with an observational approach used organic waste collected from restaurants in Tanjung Ayun Sakti Village. Five-day-old BSF larvae, which were cultivated under controlled conditions, were used in three treatment groups based on the initial weight of the larvae (10 g, 20 g, and 30 g). Larval performance was measured through waste reduction index, bioconversion rate, and feed conversion ratio.
Results: The results showed that the waste reduction index for the use of 10 g, 20 g, and 30 g of larvae was 40.37%, 55.15%, and 59.27%, respectively. The bioconversion rate for the use of 10 g, 20 g, and 30 g of larvae is 2.96%, 6.67%, and 7.78%, respectively. The feed conversion rate when using 10 g, 20 g, and 30 g of larvae, respectively, was 33.75, 15.00, and 12.86. larvae biomass increased significantly with final yields of 267 g, 600 g, and 700 g.
Conclusion: The results showed that the use of 30 g of larvae was the most effective compared to 10 g and 20 g of larvae based on the data waste reduction index, bioconversion rate, and feed conversion ratio. Overall, the significant increase in final larval biomass, reaching up to 700 g, confirms that higher larval quantities have a markedly positive impact on bioconversion efficiency and biomass productivity
