<p><strong><em>Background</em></strong><em>: In Indonesia, Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease that is a public health problem, many areas have become endemic. This disease has become a global health problem. This disease is a recurring disease, so it needs serious handling. </em></p><p><strong><em>Objectives</em></strong><em>: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the lecture method and small group discussions on community behavior in eradicating mosquitoes. </em></p><p><strong><em>Methods</em></strong><em>: This research is a survey method in the form of a quantitative design with a quasi-experimental type. The technique used is a time series control with a sample size of 400 people carried out in Gunungkidul Yogyakarta Regency in May-July 2020. A total of 200 subjects were given health promotion interventions with the lecture method, and 200 other subjects were given health promotion using the small group discussion method. Before being given the Health promotion, every resident's house was checked for the presence of larvae, and after being given the Health promotion, the presence of larvae was re-checked for three weeks. The data obtained were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test using the SPSS program.</em></p><p><strong><em>Results</em></strong><em>: This research shows an effect of giving health promotion with lecture method or small group discussion method on community behaviour changes in eradicating mosquito nests with p-value &lt;0.001. </em></p><strong><em>Conclussion</em></strong><em>: Health promotion using the small group discussion method is more effective than Health promotion using the lecture method. Health promotion using the small group discussion method effectively changes people's behaviour to eradicate mosquito nests.</em>

Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a disease that requires prompt and appropriate treatment so that the sufferer does not experience a more severe condition. This disease is spread in almost all parts of Indonesia and has become a public health problem because many areas are endemic. The purpose of this study was to compare and determine the effect of providing health promotion with the lecture and small group discussion method on community behavior changes in eradicating mosquito nests. The design of this research was a survey method with a quasi-experimental design. This study was conducted in Gunungkidul District from May to July 2020. The number of samples was 400 persons, a total of 200 subjects were given health promotion interventions with the lecture method and 200 subjects were given a small group discussion method. The presence of mosquito larvae was checked before and after the intervention. The Mann-Whitney test was used when the data are not normally distributed. The result of this study show that health promotion with the small group discussion method is more effective than the lecture method on community behavior in eradicating mosquito nests.

To study and analyze different teaching methodologies like didactic lecture and small group discussion among second BHMS students at MNR HMC. Teaching has got a very important role not only at school level but also in higher education as it can help in generating effective professionals. Materials and Methods: Students were divided into 2 batches of 11 students each. Each batch was exposed for the different teaching methods for same topic. MCQ test of 10 marks was given before and after the session to assess students understanding of the topic. Keeping this in mind the present study was planned to compare the two teaching methodologies. Results: After the small group discussion, the learners scored 70 % in the evaluation test whereas it was 61 % before the session. And after Lecture method, the learners scored 58 % in the evaluation test whereas it was 31 % before session. Conclusion: The study concluded that small group discussion ensured understanding as reflected in the test scores, as compared to Lecture method (i.e., teacher centered teaching).    Keyword: Small group discussion, Lecture method and Homoeopathy.

Background:Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever is community health problem in Gunungkidul Regency, Yogyakarta. In the last five years the case and its spread have been increasing. Many efforts have been conducted to overcome case increasing, the most important is community participation in Mosquito nest eradication (PSN). Health education through radio broadcast, leaflet, dan lecture are still failing in changing community behavior to conduct PSN continuously, because the number of larva free is still low and the spread keeps increasing. Previous studies said that Small Group Discussion (SGD) was more effective in changing community behavior. Therefore, further study is needed to be done to find out the effectiveness of small group discussion (SGD) method and lecture method towards community behavior in PSN, that was measured using larva free proportion in household.Objective: The objective of the study is to find out the effect of health education using Small Group Discussion (SGD) method and lecture method towards DHF vector larva free proportion in household.Method: The study was quasi experiment with control time series design. It was conducted in Wonosari district, Karangmojo district, and Playen district in Gunungkidul Regency. The subject of the study was 412 households divided into three groups, i.e. lecture intervension group, SGD intervention group and control group. Data analysis used paired sample t-test and Mann-Whitney test.Result:There was an effect in health education using SGD method towards DHF vector larva free proportion with p-value < α (0.05). There was a difference in DHF vector larva free proportion using lecture method but it was not statistically significant, p-value > α (0.05). There were differences between SGD with lecture method and control group in increasing DHF vector larva free proportion with p-value < α (0.05).Conclusion: There was an effect in health education using SGD method and lecture method towards DHF vector larva free proportion in household. Health education using SGD method is more effective than lecture method to increase DHF vector larva free proportion in household.

Power involves a number of models of choice: maximizing, satisficing, coercion, and minimizing missed opportunities. The latter is explored in detail and linked to a particular type of power, domination by virtue of a constellation of interests. It is shown that domination by virtue of a constellation of interests calls for justification through references to a common good, i.e. a rent to be shared between Principal and Agent. Two sources of sub-optimal outcomes are compared: individual decision-making and interactions. Interactions organized in the form of power relationships lead to sub-optimal outcomes for at least one side, Agent. Some empirical evidence from Russia is provided for illustrative purposes.
