Relation between Dehydration and Short Term Memory Function Impairment in College Students
Get PDFAccording to a study in Malang city in 2013, short term memory impairment not only occur in elderly, but also in adolescence. Another study shows that 60,9% of college student in Gadjah Mada University indicated an involuntary dehydration. Losing minimum 1% of body fluid would affects brain function and cognition include short term memory function. True Experimental, Pretest and posttest with Control Group Design, 62 selected volunteers are devided into control /non-dehydration group and intervention/dehydration group (mild dehydration induced by 40 minutes treadmill in the speed of 5,6 km/h, and rest for 20 minutes). Body fluid loss at least 1%, measured by weight loss percentage. Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) Digit span was used for the test instrument. Data was analyzed with Chi-Square test. Degraded posttest result indicated short term memory function impairment. 9,7% of sample with worse WAIS score in non-dehydration group and 48,8% of sample with worse WAIS score in dehydration group. Chi-Square test showed significance value of 0.001. Studies showed short term memory function impairment in intervention group was caused by the loss of at least 1% of body fluid after the exercise. Fluid Loss decreased cerebral blood flow (both volume and velocity), decreased the amount of cerebrospinal fluid, electrolyte and ion imbalance in the brain circulation and increased plasma osmolality which causes neuron shrinkage and lower brain volume (both cortex, substantia alba and ventricular system). In conclusion Dehydration is related to short term memory function impairment in college students.

Cupping as Complementary Therapy for Patients with Hyperuricemia
Get PDFHyperuricemia is the high level of uric acid in the blood that can create an abundant small crystal on tissue, especially on the join. When this crystal was created in join, it will cause a relapse pain and arthritis. The increase of uric acid usually followed by hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, kid failure, diabetic, and other metabolism disorder. The increase of uric acid also effects cognitive function through cerebrovascular system. Cupping, known as bekam or hijamah, has used as nonfarmacology therapy for many symtomps and diseases as abnormal blood component. The purpose of this study was to deeply identify the effect of cupping therapy on level of uric acid in the blood of patients with hypeuricemic. This study also aimed to describe changes in symptoms of the disease before and after cupping therapy. This is a case study where the data was collected using pretest and posttest without control and also using in-depth interview. The number of participants are 5 people. Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test was used to test the effect of cupping therapy of the uric acid level. Researcher then interviewed respondents to find out their gout complaints they felt before and after treated by cupping therapy. The statistical test showed decreasing of uric acid level after cupping that is interpretated from the decreasing of its mean from 8,60 to 4,66. The analyze of Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test showed the significant score (p = 0.043) that means cupping therapy can significantly reduce uric acid level in patients with hyperuricemic. All five respondents stated that symptoms of unbearable pain, swelling, and feeling of heat in the joints were no longer felt after treatment with cupping therapy. This study revealed that level of uric acid on patients with hyperuricemic can be reduced with cupping therapy. Hospitals are advised to recommend cupping therapy as complementary therapy for patient with hyperuricemic, although other factors (i.e. dietary management, medical treatment, exercise, other diseases, etc) should be considered.

Review Urgency Implementation of Dalihan Na Tolu Institutions in Legal Justice System in Indonesia
Get PDFThe Indonesian Constitution recognizes and respects the unity of indigenous and tribal peoples as long as they are alive and in accordance with the development of society and the principle of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia as regulated in Article 18 B Paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution. This respect is grounded by tribal, indigenous and cultural pluralism that flourishes in Indonesia, which still exists largely and serves as a guideline for community life. In the event of a dispute as unavoidable in the realities of daily life, indigenous and tribal peoples often choose customary law to resolve disputes between them. Choosing customary law to resolve disputes, not only because indigenous people still adhere to their local wisdom. Another thing that also affects is the limited ability of state institutions to provide access to justice quickly and affordably for the community, especially in relation to the limited access to justice through formal justice. This is of course a significant barrier to indigenous peoples, to resolve the problems they face through formal institutions. While in public law disputes such as punishment, they can not fully rely on customary law. This fact proves that equality before the law is still difficult to achieve in Indonesia. In fact, in the history of legal practice in Indonesia, once known a special court based on an adat law. But since the reign of President Soeharto, the existence of this court was abolished. Degradation of formal justice on the one hand when faced with the large number of legal communities exist in Indonesia who live hereditary in certain legal rules, is not an easy problem. So it is important to encourage efforts to strengthen and utilize other alternatives in order to gain access to justice outside the formal tribunal by means of informal justice with various variants such as mediation (non-litigation) and the implementation of customary justice. One of the institutions known to resolve the customary law dispute is the Dalihan Na Tolu institution by the Batak Tapanuli community in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Dalihan Na Tolu is a philosophy of life that will never be abandoned by the Batak community until whenever. Dalihan Na Tolu has a mechanism to resolve all conflicts that occur in this group through close family meetings, custom meetings or community meetings by means of mediation or arbitration.This study aims to see how the position, role, and effectiveness of Dalihan Na Tolu institutions in Indonesia, especially to ensure access to justice and protection of the rights of indigenous peoples. In addition, this study also wants to see the urgency of applying Dalihan Na Tolu in the legal system in Indonesia.
