THE ROLE OF PROBIOTIC ON AFFECTING ELDERLY’S MOOD WITH PARKINSONS DISEASE
Get PDFIntroduction: Parkinson’s Disease is a progressive disorder which affect the nervous system and cause movement problems in elderly. Parkinson’s disease has non-motor symptoms which include losing sense of smell, cognitive deficits, depression, constipation, and rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder. Constipation can also cause stress. Probiotics can help improve constipation in Parkinson’s disease patients. Fermented foods like pickles, yogurt, kimchi, and apple cider vinegar can be sources of probiotics. Moreover, probiotics can be consumed in the form of capsules, powder, and beverages as supplement.Objective: To know the role of probiotic on affecting elderly’s mood with Parkinson disease.Materials and Method : Journals and articles searching through PUBMED, google scholar, and other health information website between the years 2016-2024.Result: Gut brain axis mechanism can be activated by the accumulation of α-synuclein in the main pathway of the vagus nerve which lead to nerve degeneration. Dysfunction of the intestinal nervous system causes an imbalance of neurotransmitter regulation in the intestine, which then disturbs intestinal movement. In the other hand, neurotransmitter regulation imbalance can also cause stress or depression. Lactobacillus spp. and Bifidobacterium spp. can influenced normal gut flora which often used in depression therapy by reducing 5-HT metabolism that can improve cognitive function and other pathways.Conclusion: Probiotic may help constipation and depression in Parkinson’s disease patient through gut brain axis mechanism. The form of probiotic given is fermented milk rich in probiotics (yogurt) with rich-fiber foods such as whole wheat products, lentils, nuts and apricots

Literature Review: Perubahan Sistem Saraf pada Orang Dewasa dengan Burnout
Get PDFBurnout is a psychological syndrome arising from prolonged occupational stress, characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. This condition not only affects psychological well-being but also has significant implications for neural functioning, particularly in cognition and emotional regulation. This study aims to systematically examine neurophysiological changes associated with burnout through recent neuroimaging research, specifically those utilizing electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). A literature search was conducted across four major databases—PubMed, Scopus, PlosOne, and ScienceDirect—resulting in the selection of eight studies that met predefined inclusion criteria. Findings indicate that individuals experiencing burnout exhibit alterations in various EEG components, such as reduced P300 and Pe amplitudes, and changes in N200 and MMN responses. These patterns suggest impairments in information processing, decision-making, and error awareness. fMRI studies further reveal decreased activation in prefrontal brain regions, including the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and middle frontal gyrus (MFG), which are critical for executive functions and emotional regulation. Overall, burnout appears to involve complex dysfunctions in central nervous system activity, disrupting both cognitive and emotional responses. These insights underscore the need for a neuropsychological approach to burnout detection and intervention. Moreover, neuroimaging findings may serve as a foundation for developing early, evidence-based strategies aimed at promoting mental well-being in occupational settings.Dalam dunia kerja, tuntutan pekerjaan berpotensi membuat individu menjadi stres. Akibatnya pekerja merasa kelelahan, demotivasi, dan performa kerja menurun. Secara psikologis, kondisi tersebut dinamakan burnout yang disebabkan oleh stres kerja. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat perubahan fisiologis yang mendasari konsep burnout dengan lebih komprehensif. PubMed, Scopus, PlosOne, dan ScienceDirect digunakan untuk mencari artikel penelitian neuroimaging pada individu yang mengalami burnout. Studi yang digunakan berbasis EEG dan fMRI. Sebanyak delapan artikel penelitian telah dianalisis secara sistematis dengan prosedur dari PRISMA. Hasil EEG menunjukkan adanya perubahan amplitudo pada beberapa komponen ERP (P300, N200, N1, MMN, EPN, dan LPP) yang mengindikasikan perbedaan respon kelompok yang mengalami burnout dan yang tidak mengalami burnout. Selain itu komponen EEG seperti ENP dan Pe menunjukkan adanya respon yang berbeda antara kelompok burnout dan kontrol. Hasil fMRI menunjukkan adanya perubahan aktivasi di area prefrontal otak pada individu yang burnout. Kedua hasil studi neuroimaging mengindikasikan bahwa burnout mempengaruhi pemrosesan kognitif dan kontrol emosi

THE EFFECT OF READING ANXIETY ON THE READING PERFORMANCE OF NON-ENGLISH DEPARTMENT EFL STUDENTS
No full textThe importance of mastering English in the workplace urgently necessitates higher education not only from English language programs but also from other programs of English to prepare language skills. The researcher's concern about the lack of students' ability to master English, especially reading skills, is noteworthy. This is a significant concern because students appear anxious and fearful when asked to demonstrate their reading skills, thereby impacting their performance. Poor reading performance not only results in pronunciation errors but also in issues such as improper intonation and disregard for punctuation. Furthermore, the most critical aspect is that both the reader and the listener fail to understand the text being read, thus defeating the primary purpose of practicing English text reading. This research investigates whether poor reading performance is due to the anxiety they experience. This study using a qualitative method involving students from outside the English language program, specifically students from the Faculty of Economics and Business, 17 August 1945 University, Semarang. They were given a questionnaire to answer related to this research. The questionnaire is analyzed and supported by previous research. The results of this research indicate that students experience anxiety when asked to read using English as a foreign language, which affects their reading performance
