The study compared two death education programs for mothers ( N = 90) of young children. Pre- and post-test scores on the State-Anxiety Scale and researcher-designed instruments that included the Children's Questions About Death Scale (CQADS) and Future Plans Inventory (FPI) were compared. Mothers in both the Didactic and Didactic-Experiential programs scored significantly higher than the Control group in their level of effectiveness in responding to children's questions, but the two treatment groups did not significantly differ from each other. Neither the Didactic Death Education nor the Didactic-Experiential Death Education programs significantly affected mothers' anxiety before responding to children's questions about death. Post hoc analyses suggested trends relating subject characteristics to mother's level of effectiveness in responding to a child's questions about death.

Air fresheners are products that contain chemicals aimed at reducing unpleasant odours in confined spaces. The use of synthetic air fresheners turns out to harm health because some of their leased Volatile Organic Compounds are classified as toxic compounds and are carcinogens. Air freshener enters the body through the inhalation process in the respiratory system. Modern air fresheners are available in liquid (aerosol) and gel forms. Air fresheners contain addictive substances and solvents such as 1,4-dichlorobenzene which can affect pulmonary function. The purpose of this study is to know the effect of exposure to liquid air freshener on the histology of bronchi of mice (Mus musculus). This study used 20 male mice (Mus musculus) consisting of 4 treatments with 5 replications. The research design is true experimental in the form of a post-test only control group with Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The post-test was done by observing the histological picture of the mice's bronchi after exposure to liquid air freshener given 3x/day for a period of P1 = 2 weeks, P2 = 4 weeks and P3 = 6 weeks. Quantitative data on bronchial histology was tested using the One Way ANOVA statistical test followed by the Post Hoc Tukey test. The results of the study found changes in the histology of the bronchi, thickening of the epithelial tissue of mice. Analysis of comparative data between the control and treatment groups statistically obtained p = 0.010 <0.05, meaning that there was a significant effect and change in the bronchial tubes exposed to liquid air freshener. Histologically there were differences in histology between the control and treatment groups. It was concluded that liquid air freshener had a significant effect on the histological picture of the mice's bronchi.

ABSTRACTMosquitoes are type of insect that acts as a disease vector. One of them is Culex sp mosquitos which their existence is many around us. In Indonesia there are still a lot of disease cases that caused by Culex sp mosquitos, one of them is filariasis disease. The efforts to control thecurrent population of Culex sp mosquitoes mostly use chemical insecticides. The control becomes difficult because of the resistance to chemical insecticides and adversely affects the environment. This study aims to determine the potential of jackfruit leaf extract as biolarvasida against Culex sp. The type of this study was post test onlycontrolled group design, using 625 larvae Culex sp instar III, divided into 5 groups (negative control group, 0.25% extract, 0.50% extract, 0.75% extract, extract and 1% extract). Observation was performed 24 hoursafter the treatment and counted the number of larvae death.The data were analyzed by Kruskal Wallis test followed by Post Hoc Mann-Whitney U test to determine the killing power of leafy leaf extractusing Probit analysis. The results of data analysis in this study were thedeath rate percentage of larvae after 24 hours treatment was 0% incontrol, 44% in 0.25%extract, 52% in0.50% extract, 60% in 0.75%extract,while in the extract group of 1%, the number of larval deaths was 72%. Itobtained results with significant differencein some treatment groups thatwere concentrations of 0.25% - 1%. Probit analysis showed that LC50 wasat 0.382% concentration.From results of the studyit can be concluded that jackfruit leaf extract(Artocarpus heterophyllus Lamk) was potential as Culex sp mosquitobiolarvacide. So it is necessary to conduct further research on the effectsof compounds that contained in other plant parts such as flowers, stemsand roots which will be expected to have a function asbiolarvasida.Keywords: Leaf Jackfruit, Biolarvasida, Mosquito Culex sp

Abstract: Elastomeric ligature is used to fasten orthodontic wires with brackets and can be stretched 1-3 mm as a simulation of bracket in the oral cavity. Its elastic force could decrease caused by salivary pH and water absorption of the elastomeric ligature. Consuming carbonated drinks causes the oral cavity to become acidic which increases the loss of elastic force in the elastomeric ligature with length of stretch variations. This study was aimed to determine the effect of immersion in carbonated drinks on the elastic force of the elastomeric ligature with length of stretch variations. This was an experimental laboratory study with a post-test only control group design. There were a total of 24 samples of American Orthodontic brand elastomeric ligature with royal blue color divided into six groups, consisting of three control groups immersed in artificial saliva, and three treatment groups immersed in carbonated drinks. Each control group and treatment group were given three variations of stretch length, as follows: 1, 2, and 3 mm. The calculation of the elastic force on the elastomeric ligature was performed by using the Universal Testing Machine. Data were analyzed by using the One Way Anova test and LSD post hoc test (p <0.05). The One Way Anova test showed a significant difference in the 1, 2, and 3 mm length of stretch variations for treatment groups. In conclusion, carbonated drinks affect the elastic force of elastomeric ligature with length of stretch variations.Keywords: elastomeric ligature; carbonated drinks; length of stretch variations Abstrak: Elastomerik ligatur adalah alat yang digunakan untuk mengikatkan kawat ortodonti dengan braket, dapat diregangkan 1-3 mm sebagai simulasi braket dalam rongga mulut.

Abstract: Denture plate materials such as acrylic resin can induce adhesion of Candida albicans. Therefore, acrylic resin needs to be immersed in disinfectant. However, disinfectant can change its physical and mechanical properties, hence an alternative material is needed, such as hibiscus flower (Hibiscus rosa sinensis L.) due to its antifungal activity. This study was aimed to identify the effects of hibiscus flower extract and its concentrations towards the growth of C. albicans on acrylic resin plates. This was an experimental and laboratory study using the post-test only with control group design.  Acrylic resins were immersed in suspension of C. albicans, then were divided into four groups, as follows: 62.5% and 75% hibiscus flower extract (group I and II), positive control (sodium hypochlorite), and negative control (sterile aquadest). Acrylic resins were cultured and incubated on SDA media for 24 hours then the number of colonies were calculated. The results showed that C. albicans colonies in the treatment groups I, II, negative control, and positive control were 495 CFU/ml, 571.25 CFU/mL, 1175 CFU/mL, 23.125 CFU/mL respective-ly. The Kruskal-Wallis test showed significant differences in number of colonies of C. albicans (p<0.05) among all groups The post hoc Mann-Whitney test showed that all groups were significantly different, except for treatment groups I towards II. In conclusion, extract of hibiscus flower (H. rosa sinensis L.) affected the growth of C. albicans on acrylic resin plates.Keywords: hibiscus flower; Hibiscus rosa sinensis L.; Candida albicans; acrylic resin  Abstrak: Adanya bahan plat basis gigi tiruan seperti resin akrilik dapat memicu perlekatan C. albicans; oleh karena itu, resin akrilik perlu direndam dalam larutan desinfektan.

Typhoid fever is a problem in the developing country. Phyllanthus niruri L (meniran) is a traditional plant that can be used as an immunomodulator on cellular or humeral immunity. By giving Phyllanthus niruri L extract to patient who suffers typhoid fever can increase cellular immunity responses in intracellular bacteria infection (S.typhimurium).This research was an experimental study using the post test-only control group design to proof of the effects of Phyllanthus niruri L on cellular immunity balb/c infected by salmonella typhimurium. The samples were taken from thirty male Balb/c mice which were divided into five groups including P1 (infected by S.typhimurium and PnL extract 125 g), P2 (infected by S.typhimurium and PnL extract 250 g), P3 (infected by S.typhimurium and PnL extract 500 g), K1 (infected by S.typhimurium) and K2 (healthy mice). In this study was applied parametric test of one way ANOVA and post hoc test Bonfferoni. It was known that phyllanthus niruri L increased the number of activated lymphocytes and phagocyte ability of macrophage (p=0.003 and p=0.001, respectively). By Bonfferoni post hoc test resulted that no significantly difference between the treated groups (increased of dose). There were no significant difference between the number of leukocyte, the difference count of lymphocyte and the nitrite oxide produced among the treatment groups and controls. Phyllanthus niruri L dose 250 μg increased the activated lymphocyte and index phagocytes. To find out the effects of Phyllanthus niruri L compare to antibiotic and Phyllanthus niruri L combination, continuing/advancing studies are needed
