Dental caries is a disease that has a high prevalence and is a major public health problem worldwide, especially in children. Maintenance of children's dental health involves interaction between children, parents, and dentists. Mothers' knowledge and behavior in efforts to maintain dental health have a significant influence on children's behavior. Authoritative parenting (friendly, high control) has two-way communication with not too hard in parenting but also not out of control on children. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between knowledge and the type of authoritative parenting in an effort to prevent dental caries in elementary school children in remote areas. This study is a cross-sectional study, conducted on mothers of children aged 6-9 years in Oelnaineno Village, Takari District, Kupang Regency. The number of samples was 40 mothers, the sampling procedure was carried out by simple random sampling technique. Data were collected through interviews with questionnaires containing questions to measure knowledge and types of authoritative parenting in an effort to prevent dental caries in elementary school children. The results of the study were statistically analyzed using the Multi nominal Logistics Regression test with a significance value of p <0.05. There is a significant relationship between knowledge and the type of authoritarian parenting with a significance of 0.042. Mother's parenting is influenced by knowledge and will have an impact on children. Mothers who have good knowledge apply authoritative parenting styles and child caries rates are low compared to other types. There is a relationship between knowledge and type of mother's authoritative pattern in efforts to prevent dental caries in elementary school children in remote areas. Karies gigi merupakan penyakit yang memiliki prevalensi tinggi dan menjadi masalah utama kesehatan masyarakat di seluruh dunia terutama pada anak-anak. Pemeliharaan kesehatan gigi anak melibatkan interaksi antara anak, orang tua dan dokter gigi. Pengetahuan dan perilaku ibu  dalam upaya pemeliharaan kesehatan gigi memberi pengaruh signifikan terhadap perilaku anak. Pola asuh authoritative (ramah, kontrol tinggi) memiliki komunikasi dua arah dengan tidak terlalu keras dalam pola pengasuhan tetapi juga tidak lepas kontrol pada anak.

Background: Children in primary schools use school bags to carry study material, although the heavy bags are often associated with musculoskeletal problems, especially back pain. This practice requires strength, which significantly changes the body posture and walking pattern, subsequently leading to the incidence of back pain as a side effect. The aim of this study, therefore, is to analyze the differences in bag loads between elementary school children in urban and suburban area, and also analyze the relationship with the occurrence of back pain. Design and methods: This was a cross sectional study, which used stratified random sampling to choose 2 elementary schools each representing the urban and suburban areas. Furthermore, a total sample of 164 students were selected, whose school bag weight were measured for 5 consecutive days, particularly in the morning on respondents arrival at school. Moreover, the occurrence of back pain was evaluated using a modified Nordic map, and data analysis required the use of independent sample analysis t test and χ2 test.Results: The results showed the presence of highly significant differences in the school bags weight of respondents in the urban and suburban areas, as well as between schools using the 2013 curriculum and otherwise. Conclusions: In conclusion, there is a correlation between the weight measured and the occurrence of back pain, hence the 2013 curriculum is recommended to be adopted by all elementary schools. Also, the use of lockers to store items used at school repeatedly by children is also highly encouraged.

Abstract Background Despite the fact that there are parents who do not take children with untreated dental caries to a dental clinic, few studies have been conducted to identify the responsible underlying social and family factors. The aim of this study was to investigate whether socioeconomic status and lifestyle factors are associated with dental neglect in elementary school children. Methods This study was conducted in 2016 with 1655 children from the Super Shokuiku School Project in Toyama. Using Breslow’s seven health behaviors, the survey assessed: the grade, sex, and lifestyle of the children; parental internet and game use and lifestyle; socioeconomic status. The odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for having untreated dental caries were calculated using logistic regression analysis. Results Among the children participating, 152 (3.2%) had untreated dental caries. Among them, 53 (34.9%) had not been taken to a dental clinic despite the school dentist’s advice. Dental neglect was significantly associated with children in higher grades (OR, 2.08; 95% CI, 1.14–3.78), father’s Internet and game use ≥ 2 h/day (OR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.02–3.88), not being affluent (OR, 2.78; 95% CI, 1.14–6.81), and non-engagement in afterschool activities (OR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.10–3.62). Conclusions Socioeconomic status was the strongest factor associated with dental neglect despite the fact that the children’s medical expenses are paid in full by the National Health Insurance in Toyama, Japan. Future studies should investigate what factors prevent parents of non-affluent families from taking their children to dental clinics and how they can be socially supported to access adequate medical care.

Abtract: Intestinal worm infections are transmitted via soil (soil-transmitted helminth) is a global problem, especially in developing countries. The main worm infections caused by Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and hookworm (necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale). Worm infections affect the digestion, absorption, and metabolism of food could result in loss of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and large amounts of blood as well as lower mean hemoglobin concentration. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of helminth infection with hemoglobin levels of elementary school children GMIM Buha Manado. This research was an observational analytic cross-sectional approach. Sebjek study as many as 80 children. Results showed that children infected with worms very significant effect on levels of hemoglobin (p < 0.001). Children who are infected with worms had lower hemoglobin levels when compared with children who are not infected with the worm. Children who are infected with the worm hemoglobin level falls to 9.5 g/dl. Keywords: elementary school children - a worm infection - hemoglobin.   Abstrak: Infeksi cacing usus yang ditularkan melalui tanah (soil transmitted helminth) merupakan masalah dunia terutama di negara sedang berkembang. Infeksi cacing utama disebabkan oleh ascaris lumbricoides, trichuris trichiura, dan cacing tambang (necator americanus dan ancylostoma duodenale). Infeksi cacing berpengaruh terhadap pencernaan, penyerapan, serta metabolisme makanan yang dapat berakibat hilangnya protein, karbohidrat, lemak, vitamin dan darah dalam jumlah besar serta menurunkan konsentrasi hemoglobin rerata. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan infeksi cacing dengan kadar hemoglobin anak sekolah dasar GMIM Buha Manado. Jenis penelitian adalah observasional analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Sebjek penelitian sebanyak 80 anak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa anak-anak yang terinfeksi cacing berpengaruh sangat bermakna terhadap kadar hemoglobin (p < 0,001). Anak-anak yang terinfeksi cacing memiliki kadar hemoglobin lebih rendah bila dibandingkan dengan anak-anak yang tidak terinfeksi cacing. Anak-anak yang terinfeksi cacing kadar hemoglobinnya turun hingga mencapai 9,5 g/dl. Kata kunci: anak SD - infeksi cacing - kadar hemoglobin
