HUBUNGAN PENGETAHUAN IBU TENTANG GIZI DENGAN PERKEMBANGAN KOGNITIF BALITA USIA 24-59 BULAN DI POSYANDU ABADI DESA GONILAN KECAMATAN KARTASURA KABUPATEN SUKOHARJO
Get PDFPerkembangan adalah bertambahnya kemampuan (skill) dalam struktur dan fungsi tubuh yang berkaitan dengan perubahan kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Perkembangan kognitif merupakan proses berkembangnya jiwa (mental-intelektual) ke arah yang lebih matang, dipengaruhi oleh nutrisi pada lingkungan prenatal, post natal dan stimulasi. Masa balita adalah periode emas dalam mengembangkan kognisi karena secara biologis otak sedang berkembang pesat sehingga butuh nutrisi yang adekuat. Ibu berperan penting pada perkembangan kognitif balita, karena sehari-hari bertugas dalam pengaturan nutrisi, interaksi, dan stimulasi balita. Pengetahuan ibu yang baik tentang gizi akan mempengaruhi pola pemilihan, pengolahan, dan variasi makanan balita, tentunya akan berpengaruh pada ketersediaan nutrisi balita yang baik juga, sehingga perkembangan balita tersebut akan baik pula. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara tingkat pengetahuan ibu tentang gizi dengan perkembangan kognitif balita usia 24 – 59 bulan.
Penelitian ini sebagai survei analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Data diperoleh dari kuesioner pengetahuan gizi, dan hasil pengukuran kognitif IQ balita dengan metode Standford – Binet. Besar sampel sebanyak 33 balita. Kemudian data diolah dengan uji chi square dengan SPSS 16.
Hasil statistik menunjukkan diperoleh nilai p = 0,014, menunjukkan hasil signifikan karena p < 0,05 pada taraf signifikan 5%. Analisis bivariat diperoleh hasil koefisien kontigensi (CC) = 0, 525. Maka dapat disimpulkan terdapat hubungan cukup kuat antara tingkat pengetahuan ibu tentang gizi dengan perkembangan kognitif balita usia 24 – 59 bulan.
Dari penelitian ini disimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara tingkat pengetahuan ibu tentang gizi dengan perkembangan kognitif balita usia 24 – 59 bulan
The Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Vitiligo Patient Visits in Tertiary Hospital: A Retrospective Study
Get PDFBackground: Vitiligo, a common depigmenting skin disorder, has an estimated prevalence of 0.5–2% of the population worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic lockdown measures significantly affected the readiness of vitiligo patients to contact dermatologists. The aim of this study is to describe vitiligo patient visits during a pandemic situation.
Methods: A retrospective descriptive study, using secondary data obtained from Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang medical records during the period of 2019–2021.
Results: During the pandemic (2020-2021), a total of 7 in 2020 and 19 in 2021 new vitiligo patient have been consulted. The ratio of male/female for two years was 16/10. The age of group 26-24 years had more frequently visited. A total 6 patients had segmental vitiligo and 16 patients had non segmental vitiligo. A total 4 patient had unstable vitiligo. During the pandemic, there were various vitiligo therapy such as oral and topical corticosteroid, topical immunomodulator, phototherapy, and punch grafting surgery. Compare to before the pandemic situation in 2019, a total 25 new vitiligo patient have been consulted in our outpatient clinic. Compared to 2019, the number of visits decrease significantly 72% in 2020 and 24% in 2021.
Conclusion: The pandemic COVID-19 had an unprecedented impact on number of vitiligo patient visits to the tertiary hospitals. This condition may affect visits and patient compliance. There were significant reductions in the number of outpatient visits due to pandemic COVID-19
Recurrent Genital Herpes and Balanoposthitis Candidiasis in Men with Incomplete Circumcision: A Case Report
Get PDFBackground: Circumcision can reduce the risk of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). It may reduce males acquiring HSV-2 by 30% and 68% lower prevalence of balanitis than uncircumcised males. There is no report of incomplete circumcision as a risk for STD infection.
Case presentation: A 31-year-old male complained of multiple ulcers that covered a yellowish crust on the penile with a burning sensation since 7 days ago. Initially, it was vesicles that turned into ulcers. One month ago, he complained of moist scales on his preputium that felt itchy and smelly. The patient is married and sexually active. History of intercourse with female sex workers without condoms 2 weeks ago. The patient had incomplete circumcision when he was a child; the preputium is still persistent and seldom cleaned regularly. One year ago, there was a history of vesicles on the penis. Physical examination revealed obesity grade 2. Venereological findings showed a whitish pseudo-membrane on the preputium, glans penis, and ulcers in various sizes covered pseudo-membrane surrounded erythema oedema. Laboratory revealed positive IgG HSV1, IgM, and IgG HSV2. A fungal culture is positive candida. Diagnosis established as recurrent genital herpes, balanoposthitis candidiasis, non-specific genital infection, candidiasis intertrigo. The patient has persistent preputium as the entry of commensal pathogens through abrasions in the mucosa, which causes infection. The patient had complete resolution after being administered oral acyclovir, doxycycline, and topical miconazole.
Conclusion: Persistent preputium in incomplete circumcision is a risk for developing candidiasis, balanoposthitis, and recurrent genital herpes
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
Combination Procedure for Acne Scars Revision, Is It Needed?
Get PDFBackground: The treatment of acne scars is a problem for dermatologist. Varied morphology of acne scars makes the treatment more difficult. Combination technique has high efficacy than monotherapy. The challenge is how to select best combination procedure for scar revision.
Case presentation: A 43-year-old male present with acne scars since 5 years ago. Dermatological findings revealed atrophic acne scars (ice pick, boxcar, rolling) types on forehead, nose and cheeks. Diagnosis established as moderate atrophic acne scars with global acne scarring system (GASS) is 21. Patient treated with blunt canula subcision, hyaluronic acid (HA) filler, microneedling radiofrequency, 90% trichloroacetic acid chemical reconstruction of skin scars (TCA CROSS) and application of salmon polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN). Patient also received topical 0.05% retinoic acid, 4% niacinamide, and sunscreen for daily. After 10 days, there is flattening and disappear of ice pick and boxcar, elevating of rolling scar, GASS score is 15. Blunt cannula subcision and HA filler is safe, effective for rolling scar through fibrous band breaking and prevent re-adhesion. Microneedling RF is effective for boxcar, otherwise 90% TCA CROSS preferrable for ice pick scars. This combination procedure leading cellular necrosis in epidermis, collagen in dermis, and stimulate regeneration. Application of Salmon PDRN may promote wound healing, hydrate the epidermis, and prevent dyschromia.
Conclusion: Combination of subcision, dermal filler, microneedling radiofrequency, 90% TCA CROSS, and Salmon PDRN has high efficacy for scar revision through collagen remodelling and acceleration wound healing
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
