Potensi Penggunaan Essential Oil dari Tumbuhan di Indonesia dalam Menurunkan Berat Badan
Get PDFIntroduction: overweight and obesity are health problems that arise in developing countries. Although classified as a non-communicable disease (NCD), being overweight can cause death due to its comorbidity. Conventional obesity therapy is generally in the form of medications and surgical procedures. If consumed long-term, it will have dangerous side effects and it is invasive, and there is a possibility to relapse. Therefore, this review was aimed to collect all available data on non-invasive therapies in the form of aromatherapy inhalation containing active phytochemical constituents derived from Indonesian plants that will be possible as a natural anti-obesity agent.
Methods: The data review during 2007-2021 with electronic searches through Scopus, ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Articles are sorted by the keywords "obesity", "essential oils" and "mechanism" and abstract screening. Twenty-six relevant reports were obtained, which were later discussed in this review article. For the development of concepts and ideas, other literature such as books and scientific literature are used.
Result: Twelve types of essential oil plants in Indonesia that can have anti-obesity activities were successfully obtained by various four mechanisms of action, ,i.e., appetite regulation, thermogenesis and stimulation of lipid metabolism, inhibition of adipogenesis, and inhibition of pancreatic lipase activity.
Conclusion: Phytochemical constituents summarized in this review show that every plant's compounds play a role in anti-obesity activity. In addition to potential anti-obesity mechanisms, several effective doses can be further reviewed.Pendahuluan: Kelebihan berat badan dan obesitas adalah permasalahan kesehatan yang muncul di negara-negara berkembang. Meskipun tergolong penyakit tidak menular (PTM), kelebihan berat badan dapat merupakan penyebab kematian karena adanya komordibitas yang dihasilkannya. Terapi konvensional obesitas umumnya berupa obat dan prosedur bedah, yang jika dikonsumsi dengan jangka panjang akan memiliki efek samping berbahaya yang bersifat invasif dan masih adanya kemungkinan untuk kambuh. Oleh karena itu, penulisan review ini bertujuan untuk mengumpulkan semua data yang tersedia tentang terapi non invasif berupa inhalasi aromaterapi yang mengandung konstituen fitokimia aktif berasal dari tumbuhan Indonesia dan memungkinkan sebagai agen anti-obesitas alami.
Metode: Tinjauan pustaka dilakukan pada periode 2007-2021 dengan pencarian elektronik melalui database seperti Scopus, ScienceDirect, PubMed dan Google Scholar. Artikel disortir berdasarkan kata kunci “obesity”, “essential oils” dan “mechanism” dan juga abstrak. Dari penelusuran didapatkan 26 artikel relevan yang kemudian dibahas dalam artikel review ini. Untuk pengembangan konsep dan gagasan, digunakan literatur lain seperti buku dan laporan ilmiah.
Hasil: Dua belas jenis essential oil tanaman di Indonesia yang berpotensi memiliki aktivitas anti-obesitas berhasil diperoleh dengan berbagai empat mekanisme kerja, yaitu regulasi nafsu makan; thermogenesis dan stimulasi metabolisme lipid; penghambatan adipogenesis dan penghambatan aktivitas lipase pankreas.
Kesimpulan: Konstituen fitokimia yang terdapat dalam review ini menunjukkan bahwa senyawa di dalam masing-masing tanaman berperan atas aktivitas anti-obesitas. Selain mekanisme anti-obesitas yang potensial, terdapat juga beberapa dosis efektif yang dapat dikaji lebih lanjut.
 
MATE : Men’s Assistant Tracker on Health Gagasan Pembuatan Aplikasi Pengontrol Kesehatan Harian Pada Laki-Laki
Get PDFAccording to WHO data in 2012 showed that global male mortality was 52% and was caused by non-communicable diseases (NCD). Compared to women, men are more likely to die prematurely (under 70 years) due to NCD in almost every country. Then, there is a survey in Asia that shows that life expectancy for men is lower than for women and is a sign of the need for improvement in men's health status about preventable health problems and encourages early detection and treatment of diseases in men. With education, awareness about personal health will increase, and also minimalize the wrong understanding of the clinical condition in men. Because men generally avoid to meet health practitioners, then monitor and treat their own symptoms, and eliminate the perception of having a disease (despite experiencing symptoms). In this technological era, information will be easier to obtain if accessed in the digital media, such as: via an online platform MATE: Men's Assistant Tracker on Health that can be accessed anytime, anywhere. This application educates both general and specificabout men's health and focuses on early detection of diseases combined with lifestyle advice with three main contents, namely: Daily Tracker, Health Insights, and Community.Menurut data WHO pada tahun 2012 menunjukkan bahwa kematian laki-laki secara global adalah sebanyak 52% dan disebabkan oleh penyakit yang tidak menular (NCD). Jika dibandingkan dengan wanita, laki-laki lebih mungkin tutup usia sebelum waktunya (dibawah 70 tahun) akibat NCD di hampir setiap negara. Kemudian, terdapat survey di Asia yang menunjukkan bahwa harapan hidup laki-laki lebih rendah daripada wanita dan merupakan pertanda perlunya peningkatan dalam status kesehatan laki-laki tentang masalah kesehatan yang dapat dicegah dan mendorong deteksi dini serta pengobatan penyakit pada laki-laki. Dengan adanya edukasi, kesadaran mengenai kesehatan diri akan meningkat, dan juga meminimalisir pemahaman yang salah tentang kondisi klinis pada laki-laki. Karena laki-laki pada umumnya menghindari untuk bertemu praktisi kesehatan,lalu memantau dan mengobati sendiri gejala,serta menghilangkan anggapan mempunyai penyakit (walaupun mengalami gejala). Di era teknologi ini, informasi akan lebih mudah didapat jika diakses dalam media digital,seperti: melalui online platform MATE: Men’s Assistant Tracker on Health yang bisa diakses kapanpun dan dimanapun. Aplikasi ini mengedukasi baik secara general maupun spesifik tentang kesehatan laki-laki dan berfokus pada deteksi dini penyakit yang dikombinasikan dengan saran gaya hidup dengan tiga konten utama, yaitu: Daily Tracker, Health Insights, dan Community
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
