Abstract: Antibiotics are substances produced by microbes, especially fungi that can inhibit or eradicate other microbial species. The use of antibiotics in Indonesia is very alarming. According to WHO, Indonesia was ranked 8th out of 27 countries that were resistant to antibiotics. The health workers’ knowledge, especially of dentists and professional students is needed to prevent the irrational use of antibiotics. This was a descriptive study with a cross sectional approach. Samples were as many as 71 Dentistry Study Program students in RSGMP Unsrat. The instrument used in the study was a questionnaire about knowledge of antibiotic usage. The results showed that 64.79% of students had poor knowledge level of antibiotic usage. Conclusion: In this study, most students of Dentistry Study Program in RSGMP Unsrat Manado belonged to the poor category in knowledge of antibiotic usage.Keywords: knowledge, use of antibioticsAbstrak: Antibiotik adalah zat yang dihasilkan oleh suatu mikroba terutama fungi yang dapat menghambat atau membasmi mikroba jenis lain. Penggunaan antibiotik di Indonesia sangat memprihatinkan. Data WHO menyebutkan bahwa Indonesia menduduki peringkat ke-8 dari 27 negara resisten terhadap antibiotik. Tingkat pengetahuan para tenaga kesehatan khususnya dokter gigi dan mahasiswa profesi sangat dibutuhkan untuk mencegah pemakaian antibiotik yang tidak rasional yang dapat menimbulkan banyak sekali kerugian. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif dengan pendekatan potong lintang. Sampel yang digunakan sebanyak 71 mahasiswa profesi Program Studi Pendidikan Dokter Gigi. Instrumen penelitian ialah kuesioner tentang pengetahuan antibiotik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat pengetahuan dari 64,79% mahasiswa profesi terhadap penggunaan antibiotik di RSGMP Unsrat Manado termasuk dalam kategori kurang baik. Simpulan: Sebagian besar mahasiswa profesi Program Studi Pendidikan Dokter Gigi di RSGMP Unsrat Manado memiliki tingkat pengetahuan mengenai penggunaan antibiotik termasuk dalam kategori kurang baikKata kunci: pengetahuan, penggunaan antibiotik

Relations Of Power ◽  
Recurrent Nature

The function of ideology is to naturalize and maintain unequal relations of power. Making visible how ideology operates is necessary for solving health inequities grounded in inequities of resources and power. However, discerning ideology is difficult because it operates implicitly. It is not necessarily explicit in one’s stated aims or beliefs. Philosopher Slavoj Žižek conceptualizes ideology as a belief in overarching unity or harmony that obfuscates immanent tension within a system. Drawing from Žižek’s conceptualization of ideology, we identify what may be considered as ‘symptoms’ of ideological practice: (1) the recurrent nature of a problem, and (2) the implicit externalization of the cause. Our aim is to illustrate a method to identify ideological operation in health programs on the basis of its symptoms, using three case studies of persistent global health problems: inequitable access to vaccines, antimicrobial resistance, and health inequities across racialized communities. Our proposed approach for identifying ideology allows one to identify ideological practices that could not be identified by particular ideological contents. It also safeguards us from an illusory search for an emancipatory content. Critiquing ideology in general reveals possibilities that are otherwise kept invisible and unimaginable, and may help us solve recalcitrant problems such as health inequities.

The poor electric conductivity of polycrystalline diamond (PCD) makes it difficult to machine with the conventional EDM process. Inappropriate selection of parameters of the power generator and the servo system leads to unstable working condition and low material removal rate. This paper introduces a method to find optimal parameters in the Electrical Discharge Grinding (EDG) of PCD materials with Taguchi method. The theory and detailed procedures are presented, experimental results are analyzed. The optimized configuration was validated through confirmation tests.

Knowledge And Attitude

Background: Almost half of the pregnancies are usually unintended. Inappropriate spacing between pregnancies can lead to maternal and neonatal complications. Awareness and education plays, a major role in combating this issue. This study was aimed to assess the knowledge and attitude regarding spacing methods of contraception among primipara mothers of Kolhapur. Material and methods: The descriptive study was performed on 110 primipara mothers admitted in hospitals of Kolhapur. A pre-validated study tool consisting of a questionnaire and a Likert attitude scale was used to assess knowledge and attitude of participants. Chi-square and Spearman's rank correlation test was used to nd the association and correlation between variables. Results: Good knowledge score was observed in 5.45% participants whereas, average and poor knowledge score found in 70% and 24.55% of participants respectively. A favorable attitude was noted in 53.6% of mothers and moderately favorable attitudes and unfavorable attitudes were observed in 43.6% and 2.7% mothers respectively. Asignicant positive correlation was observed between the knowledge score and attitude score -05 of primipara mothers (r=0.379, P=4.326e ). A signicant association of knowledge score (P<0.01) and attitude score (P<0.01) with the sociodemography of the participants was observed. Conclusion: Most of the primipara mothers had a favorable attitude regarding spacing methods of contraception but they are lacking in knowledge. The Socio-demography of the participants was signicantly associated with knowledge and attitude scores.
