Abstract: Nephrolithiasis (Kidney Stone) is a condition where there is stone in the kidney that are formed due to disturbance of the balance between solubility and deposition of salt in urine. This study was aim to determine the correlation between stone size and urine leukocytes in nephrolithiasis patients. This study was conducted at the Ulin General Hospital in Banjarmasin by taking data on medical records for the 2017-2018 period. This study used a cross-sectional retrospective approach with an analytic method. Samples were obtained using total sampling technique based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of 34 nephrolithiasis patients were obtained that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The highest proportion of stone size was >20 mm (47.07%). The highest proportion of urine leukocytes was +3 (38.23%). Data were analyzed using the Spearman correlation test and showed p = 0.774 and r = 0.051. There was no significant correlation between stone size and urine leukocytes in nephrolithiasis patients at Ulin General Hospital Banjarmasin. Keywords: Nephrolithiasis, kidney stone size, urine leukocytes.

Noise in the workplace is often a separate problem for the workforce so that it can cause mental-emotional disturbance as well as the heart and circulatory system. According to the 2013 Basic Health Research, the prevalence of high blood pressure in Indonesia at the age of ≥18 years is 25.8%. So the researchers wanted to find a relationship between noise intensity and blood pressure. This research method was observational analytic with a cross-sectional approach conducted at PT. Bintang Intipersada Shipyard, Batam City. The sampling technique was a total sampling with a population of 100 workers in 2018 and obtained results of 61 workers determined by inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of the study were analyzed with a frequency distribution tabulated and tested with the Pearson Product Moment Test. The results of this study worker who were exposed to noise intensity ≤85 dBA had a normal blood pressure of 8 (36.5%) people, in workers who were exposed to noise intensity ≤85 dBA had blood pressure with Pre-hypertension as many as 12 (54.5% ) people, for workers exposed to noise intensity ≤85 dBA have 1 (4.5%) blood pressure with Stage 1 Hypertension, workers who are exposed to noise intensity ≤85 dBA have blood pressure with Stage 2 Hypertension as much as 1 (4.5 %) person. While workers who are exposed to noise intensity> 85 dBA have normal blood pressure of 0 (0%) people, workers who are exposed to noise intensity> 85 dBA have blood pressure with Pre-hypertension as much as 2 (5.1%) people, workers are exposed to noise intensity> 85 dBA had blood pressure with Stage 1 Hypertension as many as 14 (35.9%) people, then workers exposed to noise intensity> 85 dBA had blood pressure with Stage 2 Hypertension as many as 23 (59%) workers. The results of the Pearson Product Moment analysis value of p = 0,000 <α 0.05, there is a relationship between noise intensity and blood pressure with the magnitude of the correlation coefficient (r) which is 0.795 meaning, there is a strong relationship. Based on this study it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between noise intensity and blood pressure.

ABSTRAK Infeksi Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH) adalah penyakit yang menempati urutan ketiga dari 10 penyakit menular di dunia dengan tingkat kejadian sekitar 1,4 miliar per tahun. Insiden STH di Indonesia masih cukup tinggi. Angka tersebut terjadi pada siswa di sekolah dasar mencapai 60-80%, sedangkan untuk semua usia berkisar antara 40%-60%. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui faktor yang berhubungan dengan infeksi STH pada anak sekolah dasar di SD Negeri Moyudan Sleman. Penelitian ini adalah observasional analitik dengan rancangan cross sectional. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah semua siswa kelas I, II, dan III di SD Moyudan Sleman dengan teknik total sampling yaitu 60 responden. Analisis data menggunakan uji chi-squre.
