Anemia is still a public health problem in the world and in Indonesia. WHO (2008) reported more than 75% of anemia in Asia is iron deficiency and 63.5% anemia in Indonesia is caused by lack of nutrition. Previous studies described that lead (Plumbum /Pb) can decrease hemoglobin levels. Sriwedari markets book sellers and Solo Wholesale Centers street vendors are susceptible populations exposed to Pb as a result of motor vehicle exhaust. Approximately 70% of Pb in vehicle exhausts emissions are emitted into the air. This study aimed to analyze the effects of Pb exposure on blood Pb concentration and hemoglobin levels. This study was a quantitative observational analytic study with cross sectional design conducted in 2015-2016 at Sriwedari Market. Samples were 97 respondents obtained through random sampling and Spearman correlation was used for data analysis. Result showed that there were association between Pb exposure in the air and blood Pb levels (p=0,000; r=0,606) and blood Pb levels and hemoglobin levels (p=0,000; r=-0,623)

Lead is a metal that is very dangerous and toxic to humans, which can be derived from the act of consuming food, drink or inhalation from the air, dust contaminated with Pb, contact with skin, contact with eyes and through parental. Lead can cause air pollution due to motor vehicle emissions gas. Street vendors are one of the groups that can be exposed to Pb. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of lead levels (Pb) in urine to the length of street vendors selling at the 45 markets of Manado City. This research uses observational analytic method with cross sectional design. The sample in this study were all street vendors selling from zero points to the front of jumbo in Pasar 45. Purposive Sampling was carried out by sampling. The results of this study showed that the average length of work was 12 hours, the average lead level in urine for all samples was 0.8461 mg / L which had exceeded the threshold value of 0.15 mg / L. Statistical test results using Pearson Product Moment correlation show there is no significant relationship between work duration and levels of Pb in urine (r = -0.024, p = 0.899). The conclusion of this study is that there is no relationship between lead levels (Pb) in urine with the length of street vendors selling at the 45 markets of Manado City.

Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) is still a public health problem especially in developing countries. CSOM with acquired cholesteatoma accompanied referred to as the type of hazard, as they often lead to dangerous complications and have a high rate of morbidity and mortality. Mastoid CT with 0,625mm slice thicness may reveal detail cholesteatoma and bone destruction. It’s an analytic observational study with cross sectional design. This study consisted of 30 cases CSOM, aged 18-60 years and had a 0,625mm slice thicness CT scan mastoid examinations in Dr. Kariadi Hospital Semarang and indicating a cholesteatoma and bone destructions. The result showed that hypopneumatization type and mild degree of bone destructions obtained in most subjects, each 20 and 21, but there’s no correlation between mastoid pneumatization and bone destruction (p 0,367 or p > 0,05). This study showed more lower type of the mastoid pneumatization, more severe degree of bone destructions.Keywords: CSOM, mastoid pneumatization, Mastoid CT

Sleepiness is a major public health problem associated with motor vehicle crashes, occupational accidents, decreased productivity, and interpersonal problems. It can be influenced by many factors, including the individual's circadian rhythm. The objective of this study is to assess the correlation between the morningness/eveningness dimension and daytime sleepiness in medical school students. This is a cross-sectional study; 310 subjects (123 women and 187 men, M age 20.5 ± 1.9 yr.) completed a questionnaire on use of drugs, diagnostic diseases, sleeping habits, the Morningness/Eveningness Questionnaire and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. The only variable related to daytime sleepiness was the morningness/eveningness dimension ( r = –.18, p = .002). Questions with higher coefficients of discrimination between the morning and the evening chronotype were “Lying down to rest in the afternoon when circumstances permit” (.61), “Sitting and reading” (.53), and “As a passenger in a car for an hour without a break” (.53). The implications of the findings are discussed.

Dengue fever remains a public health problem. Environmental factors influence the mosquito Aedes aegypti’s growth, especially if there are many containers in the neighborhood. The community of Nanggungan Village have a habit of storing water in containers, therefore, they risk to become breeding sites for mosquitoes. This study aims to identify the Maya Index status of Aedes aegypti between Tegalrejo and Krajan Kidul Village. The research was observational with a cross-sectional design. Total samples were 200 homes, which 100 homes from Tegalrejo and 100 homes from Krajan Kidul Village, taken by simple random sampling. The measurement of variables employed observation sheet and analyzed in a descriptive approach. The number of containers observed in the Tegalrejo Village was 394 units, and Karajan Kidul Village was 391 units. Maya Index statuses in Tegalrejo (92%) and Krajan Kidul Village (88%) were low. Maya Index status in Krajan Kidul (13%) was higher than Tegalrejo Village (8%). House Index (HI) in the Tegalrejo (18.0%) was lower than Krajan Kidul Village (25.0%), Container Index in Tegalrejo (5.30%) was lower than in Krajan Kidul Village (8.95%), Breteau Index in Tegalrejo (21.0%) was lower than in Krajan Kidul Village (35.0%), Density Figure in Tegalrejo and Krajan Kidul Village indicated a scale of 3 and 4. Based on the MI’s status, Tegalrejo and Krajan Kidul Village were included as a low-risk category of mosquito breeding sites. Based on the density number of larvae, two villages have a moderate risk of Dengue Fever transmission. The community should implement the Mosquitoes Breeding Sites Eradication Program (PSN 3M Plus) and minimize the presence of the containers.

Heart failure (HF) is a growing public health problem. Self-management (SM) of HF is an important component of chronic disease management. Guided by the Individual and Family Self-Management Theory (IFSMT), we examined the associations among complexity of condition, self-regulation, and self-efficacy mediation of SM behaviors in a population of HF outpatients. A cross-sectional design was used. Seventy-three outpatients with HF were enrolled. Simple and multiple linear regressions were run for each outcome variable. Only self-regulation was significantly associated with SM behavior. Complexity of condition was not significantly associated with SM behavior. There was no mediation by self-efficacy. Future nursing interventions should explore self-regulation in HF to provide a clearer understanding of the processes used to change health behavior. SM may be particularly useful in HF with preserved ejection fraction (EF), where there is no proven pharmacological treatment.
