Hubungan Durasi Hipertensi Terhadap Pola Elektrokardiogram: Kajian Klinis Untuk Deteksi Dini Perubahan Jantung
No full textHypertension is a major risk factor contributing to cardiovascular disorders, including left ventricular hypertrophy, making early detection through an ECG crucial for preventing complications. This study aimed to assess the relationship between hypertension duration and LVH/RVH findings and the overall interpretation of the ECG.The method used was a clinical experiment with a quantitative approach involving 67 hypertensive patients with disease duration of ≤5 years and >5 years. ECG data were analyzed to identify changes in patterns related to hypertension duration, and the Pearson correlation test was used to assess the relationship between variables. The sample was predominantly adult to elderly and predominantly female, with a relatively balanced distribution of hypertension duration. The analysis revealed a significant negative association between hypertension duration and LVH/RVH findings (r = –0.255; p = 0.038) and a weak but significant positive association between hypertension duration and overall ECG abnormalities (r = 0.285; p = 0.020). This pattern indicates that although cardiac structural and electrical changes tend to increase with hypertension duration, the limited sensitivity of the ECG results in a non-linear relationship. This study concludes that hypertension duration is associated with ECG changes, although the strength is weak, necessitating additional evaluation for a comprehensive cardiac assessment
Family Support for Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) Patients in Utilizing Health Information and Services
No full textThe morbidity and mortality rate of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) in Indonesia is increasing every year. The results of the 2019 Basic Health Research showed that 1.5% or 15 out of 1000 Indonesians suffer from CHD. The lack of health literacy of CHD patients and their families related to symptoms, risks, lifestyle, and treatment of CHD will further worsen the patient's condition. The purpose of this study was to analyze family support in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients in the use of information and health services. Qualitative research methods with a phenomenological approach and data collection techniques are used through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. There were eight research informants consisting of one doctor as a key informant, two supporting informants, and five ordinary informants with criteria for a patient's condition that was stable, communicative, and willing to be an informant. The results showed that the ability of patients to receive and manage information, called health literacy in CHD patients and their families, is still low because they lack the ability to receive and manage information from doctors and lack independent information search efforts. The conclusion of this study is that access to information, receipt, and management of information are very important to improve the health literacy of CHD and their families.
 
Some preliminary observations
No full textThis paper focuses on Kheuól, an Amazonian French Creole variety spoken by the Karipúna and Galibi-Marwono in northern Amapá, Brazil. The paper will examine the nature and degree of the contact between French Creole and Portuguese on the Oiapoque River Border, and on the resulting Portuguese influence on Kheuól lexicon at present. As the official language of Brazil, Portuguese remains the prestige language, and continues to dominate the educational system, religion and trade in the Oiapoque area of Uaçá, northern Amapá (Tassinari 2003). Data sources include three bilingual French Creole-Portuguese dictionaries, two published (Tobler 1987 and Picanço Montejo 1988) and one unpublished (Corrêa and Corrêa1998), as well as interviews with speakers
Comparative perspectives on the origins, development and structure of Amazonian (Karipúna) French Creole
No full textTogether known as Kheuól, Karipúna French Creole (KFC) and Galibi-Marwono French Creole (GMFC) are two varieties of Amazonian French Creole (AFC) spoken in the Uaçá area of northern Amapá in Brazil. They are socio-historically and linguistically connected with and considered to be varieties of Guianese French Creole (GFC). This paper focuses on the external history of the Brazilian varieties, and compares a selection of linguistic forms across AFC with those of GFC and Antillean varieties, including nasalised vowels, the personal pronouns and the verbal markers. St. Lucian was chosen as representative of the Antillean
French creoles of the South-Eastern Caribbean, including Martinique and Trinidad, whose populations have had a history of contact with those of northern Brazil since the sixteenth century. Data have been collected from both field research and archival research into secondary sources
Conversion of Nyamplung Oil into Green Diesel through Catalytic Deoxygenation using NiAg/ZH Catalyst
No full textNyamplung oil (Calophyllum inophyllum L) can be converted into green diesel by the catalytic deoxygenation method. Bimetallic catalyst NiAg supported by hierarchical natural zeolite (NiAg/ZH) can be used in this method. This study aims to determine the characteristics of the NiAg/ZH catalyst and the optimal conditions for the catalytic deoxygenation of nyamplung oil into green diesel. The NiAg/ZH catalyst was synthesized by wet impregnation with a total metal concentration of 10% and a mass ratio of Ni/Ag of 4. X-Ray Diffraction, Surface Area Analyzer and NH3-TPD characterized the catalyst. Catalytic deoxygenation of Nyamplung oil was carried out by varying the temperature (325, 350 and 375 °C) and reaction time (1, 2 and 3 hours) with a catalyst dosage of 5%. The composition of the product was analyzed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy. The catalyst XRD spectrum showed a peak at 2θ = 22.38° (clinoptilolite zeolite), 44.42° (Ni) and 38.21° (Ag). The surface area of the catalyst is 46.7024 m2/g, the pore volume is 0.0813 cc/g, the average pore diameter is 6.9632 nm, and the deposit is 1.6882 mmol/g. The optimum catalytic deoxygenation of nyamplung oil was obtained at 350 °C and 3 hours with a gasoline selectivity of 3.51%, kerosene 4.73%, and 62.02% green diesel
Aprendendo entre pares: a transmissão horizontal de saberes entre as crianças indígenas Galibi-Marworno (Amapá, Brasil)
No full textDissertação {mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-graduação em Antropologia SocialEste trabalho, realizado entre os índios Galibi-Marworno do norte do Amapá, aborda, a partir de um cruzamento teórico entre Antropologia da Infância e Etnologia Indígena, o processo de transmissão horizontal de conhecimentos entre crianças, ou seja, que se dá entre pares. Para tanto, temas como organização social, etnoconhecimentos, tempo, espaço e corporalidade serão tratados com o intuito de demonstrar esta vasta rede de saberes que são divulgados, transmitidos e resignificados no interior dos grupos infantis, evidenciando assim, o importante papel das crianças na inovação e manutenção de seus sistemas sócio-culturais.This paper has been realized with Galibi-Marworno Indians from north of Amapá state, it is about the horizontal knowledge transmission among children using the theory of both disciplines Childhood Anthropology and Indigenous Ethnology. In this way, issues as social organization, ethnic knowledge, time, space and body sensations are treated to demonstrate this rich knowledge which is transmitted inside the children groups, in order to show how important they are to maintain their social and cultural systems
