The Effectiveness of Nutritional Interventions on Hypertension Control: A Meta-Analysis
Get PDFThis study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of nutritional interventions in addressing hypertension, considering aspects such as food consumption, dietary patterns, and other nutritional interventions. Through meta-analysis, the research seeks to consolidate findings from various previous studies to provide a stronger conclusion regarding the effectiveness of nutritional interventions on hypertension and to establish a foundation for the development of more effective nutritional intervention programs for the prevention and control of hypertension. The research methodology employs a meta-analysis approach and literature research to evaluate relevant journal articles on the topics of "Hypertension," "Blood Pressure," and "Nutrition." Article selection criteria include publication years from 2015 to 2023, written in Indonesian or English, and document types "article research" and "review literature," resulting in a final selection of 10 articles for the meta-analysis study. The study findings indicate that nutritional interventions, such as reducing salt intake and adopting the DASH diet, are effective in lowering blood pressure, especially in individuals at high risk of hypertension. Dietary fiber supplements and early-life interventions also prove to significantly benefit blood pressure management. Holistically, emphasis on healthy eating patterns, active lifestyles, and the use of technologies like mHealth can help address hypertension issues among at-risk populations
PENGARUH PROGRAM PEMANTAUAN ELEKTROKARDIOGRAM TERHADAP DETEKSI DINI PENYAKIT JANTUNG
No full textHeart disease is one of the diseases that often goes undetected early on, which can lead to serious complications and death. This study aims to investigate the effect of an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring program on the early detection of heart disease. The research method used is quantitative with data collection using questionnaires and regression analysis. The respondents in this study were individuals who had participated in the ECG monitoring program for a certain period. Data were collected through questionnaires that included demographic information, medical history, and participation in the monitoring program. Regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between the independent variable (participation in the ECG monitoring program) and the dependent variable (early detection of heart disease). The results of the study show that there is a significant influence between participation in the ECG monitoring program and early detection of heart disease. The ECG monitoring program has an influence of 61.3% on the early detection of heart disease. The results of this study are expected to contribute to a further understanding of the effectiveness of EKG monitoring programs in the early detection of heart disease. The practical implications of this study may include recommendations to improve accessibility and participation in EKG monitoring programs, as well as more effective heart disease prevention efforts.Penyakit jantung merupakan salah satu penyakit yang sering kali tidak terdeteksi secara dini, yang dapat menyebabkan komplikasi serius dan kematian. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menginvestigasi pengaruh program pemantauan elektrokardiogram (EKG) terhadap deteksi dini penyakit jantung. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dengan pengumpulan data menggunakan angket dan analisis regresi. Responden penelitian ini adalah individu yang telah mengikuti program pemantauan EKG selama periode tertentu. Data dikumpulkan melalui angket yang mencakup informasi demografis, riwayat kesehatan, dan partisipasi dalam program pemantauan. Analisis regresi digunakan untuk menentukan hubungan antara variabel independen (partisipasi dalam program pemantauan EKG) dan variabel dependen (deteksi dini penyakit jantung). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada pengaruh yang signifikan antara partisipasi dalam program pemantauan EKG dan deteksi dini penyakit jantung. Berdasarkan perhitungan, nilai dari R Square adalah 0,613. Dimana program pemantau EKG berpengarus sebesar 61,3% terhadap deteksi dini penyakit jantung. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi terhadap pemahaman lebih lanjut tentang efektivitas program pemantauan EKG dalam mendeteksi dini penyakit jantung. Implikasi praktis dari penelitian ini dapat mencakup rekomendasi untuk meningkatkan aksesibilitas dan partisipasi dalam program pemantauan EKG, serta upaya pencegahan penyakit jantung secara lebih efektif
Program One Day One Egg sebagai Upaya Penurunan Stunting di Kabupaten Pandeglang
Get PDFKabupaten Pandeglang memiliki prevalensi stunting yang tinggi mencapai 38,5% dengan jumlah balita stunting sekitar 8.303. Perhatian khusus diperlukan pada kasus stunting pada anak di bawah lima tahun karena berpotensi menghambat perkembangan fisik, mental dan kognitif anak. Penanganan stunting diprioritaskan terhadap Ibu hamil dan anak berusia 0 hingga 2 tahun dengan melakukan intervensi gizi yang spesifik dan sensitif. Intervensi gizi spesifik dapat diartikan sebagai tindakan yang dilakukan secara khusus dengan sasaran anak 1000 hari pertama kehidupan. Stunting dapat disebabkan karena terjadinya defisit protein, dimana protein sebagai sumber asam amino yang dibutuhkan tubuh dalam membentuk matriks tulang. Program intervensi gizi spesifik yang telah berjalan di Indonesia adalah dengan pemberian telur di posyandu. Telur merupakan produk pangan hewan yang kaya akan protein, murah dan mudah didapat. Kegiatan ini bertujuan menurunkan prealensi stunting di Kabupaten Pandeglang memberikan telur setiap hari selama 6 bulan kepada balita stunting di 10 desa lokus stunting di Kabupaten Pandeglang mulai September 2020 hingga Februari 2021. Hasil dari yang diperoleh program ini adalah terjadi penurunan persentase stunting balita sebesar 11,5%. Berdasarkan hasil evaluasi dari program ini, dapat disimpulkan bahwa telur dapat menjadi pilihan makanan tambahan yang tepat untuk balita stunting
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
