Abstract : Fluor albus is not a disease but a sign and symptom of the female reproductive organs' disease. Fluor albus is also a side effect of using hormonal contraceptives. This research aims to analyze hormonal KB (Family Planning) acceptors' knowledge about fluorine albus using the Android-based Mapaccing application. The Mapaccing application is an educational media about fluorine albus designed in the form of an Android-based application, utilizing internet media that allows creating a learning experience for its users. The method used in this study was the Pre Experiment (one group pre and post). The sampling technique used accidental sampling. Calculation of the sample using the Slovin formula, the number of samples was 30 acceptors of hormonal KB (Family Planning). The education implementation is carried out for two weeks, with two meetings per week and a meeting session length of 60 minutes. This research was conducted in the working area of Puskesmas Tamalanrea Makassar. Statistical test results show that the Android-based Mapaccing application uses increased knowledge by 27%. There was a difference in the mean knowledge of hormonal KB (Family Planning) acceptors with a value of 0.000 <0.05 using the Android-based Mapaccing application with the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test. The Android-based Mapaccing application effectively increases acceptor KB mothers' knowledge, favored by KB acceptors. It has material coverage that is easy to understand and an attractive appearance. Keyword

Abstract : - The disaster's fundamental impact is the emergence of health and nutrition problems among disaster victims, especially those with nutrition vulnerability, namely infants and toddlers. Providing food assistance in instant noodles, instant porridge, or rice is less effective because it requires processing before consumption. Cookies are a food product that the community is well accepted, including being used as emergency food products. The research design used a quasi-experiment pre-test to compare children's nutritional status under five in the intervention and control groups. The sample was 30 toddlers per group. The total sample was 60 for 15 days of intervention. The data collected were sample characteristics, food intake, nutritional status, proximate analysis, protein. Food intake before the intervention, namely energy (p = 0.874), protein (p = 0.873), fat (p = 0.6630, carbohydrates (p = 0.542), fiber (p = 0.677), there was no significant difference, while for energy ( p = 0.718), fat (p = 0.309), carbohydrates (p = 0.074), fiber (p = 0.211) there were no significant differences. There is a difference in nutritional status on the weight/age index before and after the intervention (p = 0.035). Note that on the index height / age (p = 0.240) and index weight / height (p = 0.678) there is no difference. The highest protein score calculation for Cookies products is Laucyn at 136.69, while the limiting amino acid lies in Sulfur Amino Acid (SAA) at 72.84.

Abstract : The pattern of food consumption and a wrong lifestyle can spur the emergence of oxidative stress, especially in adult humans. Oxidative stress can be inhibited by consuming foods that contain high antioxidants. Red dragon fruit contains a high source of antioxidants. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of red dragon fruit (Hylocereus costaricensis) as a functional food in maintaining lipid profile levels under normal conditions (prevention of dyslipidemia) in adults. This study is a clinical experimental study with a pre and posts randomized controlled group design. This research used a quantitative analytic research type with an experimental study approach, using the RCT (Randomized Controlled Trial) method. The sample was taken by purposive sampling with a simple random sampling method. The intervention group was given red dragon fruit in 180 grams/day for 15 days. Levels of blood lipid profiles were measured before and after treatment. Data were analyzed by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for data normality test. Paired t-test to determine the difference in mean pretest and post-test in one group after treatment. Independent t-test to determine differences in the mean difference between pretest and post-test between groups given different treatments and nutritional intake from food due to 24 hours of food recall was analyzed using the Nutrisurvey program.

Abstract : Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a public health problem, as its prevalence continues to increase the incidence of kidney failure, poor prognosis, and high treatment costs from year to year. Reduction function and the number of nephrons caused kidney dysfunction, so a buildup of substances that are not needed by the body and electrolyte disturbances appears. The study aimed to determine the relationship between serum sodium and potassium electrolyte levels in patients suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD). Analytic observational research by cross-sectional design was applied. The study was conducted on 30 patients with chronic kidney disease in RSUP Dr. Kariadi Semarang. Data collected were conducted by Na and K electrolytes, and they were analyzed by the Iodine Deficiency Disorders (GAKI) laboratory in the January-March 2020. Data were analyzed and presented on average ± SE, correlation statistics, Pearson and Spearman regression with significance levels of p <0.05. The Research Ethics Commission approved this study. The results showed was not significant a correlation of potassium (K) with age (p = 0.405; r = 0.158). Potassium and ureum was significantly the relationship positive (p = 0.003; r = 0.522). The relationship between potassium and creatinine was significantly positive (p = 0.024; r = 0.412). Conclusion there was a significant serum K relationship with urea and creatinine

Abstract : An indicator of the quality of handling emergency patients is the speed of assisting (response time). Delay in handling emergency patients can be fatal. One of the causes of errors and delays in providing action to patients in the emergency department is the excessive workload that results in high activity so that the body experiences Fatigue. Physical Fatigue is indicated by decreased reflex motion quality. The decrease in motion reflex impacts the decrease in emergency handling services (response time). The research objective was to identify the effect of nurse fatigue on the response time for handling emergency patients in the Emergency Room during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research method was correlation design with a cross-sectional approach and obtained 21 nurses in the emergency department. The instrument used to measure Fatigue was the Fatigue Severity Scale. The response time for handling emergency patients was installed by an emergency department entirely (100%) according to the time category based on ATS 1,2,3,4,5, with a value median of 57 seconds, which is seen from the response time most of the respondents (52.4%) less than 57 seconds, while the Spearman Rank test analysis obtained p-value 0.600> α 0.05 with a value of r: 0.121, this shows that fatigue effects on the response time for emergency patients, with a very weak positive correlation, which indicates that the higher the degree of Fatigue, the more response time slows down.
