Across the world, the segment of the elderly in populations is seen to be increasing at a rapid rate. There also exists a trend in which more teeth are retained as age increases due to effective dental public health measures like fluoridation. This inevitably places an increased need for dental healthcare among the geriatric populations. Since oral health greatly affects the systemic health of aged individuals, it is imperative for dentists and physicians to work together as a team to impart treatment to the best of one’s abilities for geriatric patients. It is therefore, necessary to first assess the oral health concerns surrounding the geriatric population from the perspective of public health dentistry. Relationship of the elderly with periodontal disease, dental caries, salivary hyposalivation and xerostomia, cognitive changes, and simultaneous usage of diverse medications was discussed. This paper reviewed the literature and then examined and discussed the various problems mentioned in depth and suggested recommendations for a plan of action. Knowledge about the specific oral health concerns and issues will help to better position us in developing strategies for providing better oral healthcare to the geriatric population in addition to the existing systemic healthcare. In the future, the elderly will make up a huge portion of the demographic visiting dentist regularly for a myriad of oral health problems. Dental health professionals therefore, must have adequate training and competency to deal with the predicament of this geriatric population. Preventive and treatment services can ensure healthy aging which will improve the quality of life.

Abstract Aim: Underweight, wasting and stunting are the commonest nutritional disorders among school age children especially in developing countries. This public health significant problem impairs the intellectual development of a child. The aim of this study was assessment of the Prevalence and Determinant factors of under nutrition among school age children aged 6-12 years Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in Debre Tabor town elementary schools among 314 school age children. The sample was allocated to all elementary schools proportionally to their number of school age children aged 6-12 years in 2018. WHO Antro- Plus was used to build Z-scores from anthropometric measurement. The data were analyzed by SPSS Version 20. The degrees of association between dependent and independent variables was assessed using OR and 95% Confidence interval during logistic regression. P-value less than 0.05was considered statistically significant. Results: Of the total study participants, 232(77.3%) were from public schools. The mean ± standard deviation (SD) of height of children was 132.915 ±9.824cm and the mean ± standard deviation (SD) weight of children was 27.65 ±5.785 Kg. The prevalence of stunting, wasting and underweight was 11%, 6.3%, and 11.4% respectively. Students who ate their breakfast rarely were 8 times more likely to be underweight than those who ate their breakfast always (AOR =7.94 95%CI, 4.82-14.80). Those who were sick were more likely to be underweight than their counterparts AOR= 7.3, 95%CI, 2.8-14.4).Those who never consume milk or milk products were 6.5 (AOR= 6.5, 95%CI, 1.7-23) times more likely to be stunted than those who consumed always. Sickness in the past two weeks was significantly associated with thinness (AOR= 6 .93, 95%CI, 4.12- 10.06).Conclusions: The overall prevalence of wasting, stunting, and underweight was mild public health problem in this study.

People Today

The tolerance attitude of Indonesian people today are beginning to fade, along with the increasing cases of intolerance in our society, including in the education field. Issues such as abuse, fights, and bullying are examples of intolerant attitudes that are increasing nowadays. Education at the elementary school level is the foundation for the formation of children's character so that at this level, knowledge is essential to teach tolerance. One method that is proven effective for instilling character education is storytelling using Wayang Kancil. So, this method needs to test for its effectiveness in establishing a tolerance for elementary students. The purpose of this study is to find out whether storytelling using Wayang Kancil can improve tolerance for elementary students. This study used a quasi-experimental method, which involved two elementary schools as an experimental group and a control group. The storyteller gives the stimulus of storytelling using Wayang Kancil. Tolerance measurements in subjects were carried out both before and after the administration of treatment. Measurements are made by providing a scale of tolerance. This study using a non-parametric statistical analysis Mann-Whitney U Test. This test is to find out whether there are differences in patience in the experimental group and the control group, namely pretest, and posttest. The results showed significant differences between tolerance in the experimental group and the control group (p = 0.008, α <0.05). Tolerance attitude in the experimental group after being given the storytelling, the results were higher than the control group Sikap toleransi pada Bangsa Indonesia dewasa ini mulai memudar, seiring meningkatnya kasus-kasus intoleransi di tengah-tengah masyarakat, termasuk pada dunia pendidikan. Kasus-kasus seperti perundungan, perkelahian, dan tawuran pelajar merupakan contoh sikap intoleran yang semakin marak terjadi. Pendidikan pada jenjang Sekolah Dasar (SD) merupakan pondasi pembentukan karakter anak, sehingga pada jenjang ini sangat perlu diberikan pendidikan mengenai toleransi. Salah satu metode yang terbukti efektif untuk menanamkan pendidikan karakter adalah dongeng menggunakan Wayang Kancil. Untuk itu, metode ini pun perlu diuji efektivitasnya dalam menamamkan sikap toleransi pada siswa SD. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui apakah dongeng dengan media Wayang Kancil mampu meningkatkan sikap toleransi pada siswa SD. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode quasi eksperimen, yang melibatkan dua kelas dari dua SD sebagai kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok kontrol. Stimulus berupa dongeng menggunakan media Wayang Kancil diberikan oleh pendongeng. Pengukuran toleransi pada subjek dilakukan baik sebelum dan sesudah pemberian perlakuan. Pengukuran dilakukan dengan memberikan skala sikap toleransi. Pengujian terhadap hipotesis penelitian ini menggunakan analisis statistik non parametrik Mann-Whitney U Test. Pengujian ini untuk mengetahui apakah ada perbedaan sikap toleransi pada kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok kontrol, yaitu pretest, dan posttest. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara sikap toleransi pada kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok kontrol (p=0,008, ?<0,05). Sikap toleransi pada kelompok eksperimen setelah diberikan dongeng, hasilnya lebih tinggi dibanding kelompok kontrol.

Background:Neighborhood walkability is being promoted as an important factor in public health efforts to decrease rates of physical inactivity. Single entry communities (SEC), communities with only 1 entrance/exit, may result in an over estimation of walkability. This design makes direct walking routes outside the community nearly impossible and results in increased trip distance. The purpose of this study was to determine if accounting for SECs resulted in a significant difference in street connectivity.Methods:Twenty geographically different Las Vegas neighborhoods were chosen and the number of true intersections measured in ArcGIS. Neighborhoods were then assessed for the presence of SECs using google maps, ArcGIS land imagery, and field observation. Intersections inside SECs were removed. A paired t test was used to assess the mean difference of intersection density before and after adjustment.Results:There was a statistically significant decrease in the number of true intersections after the adjustment (before mean = 57.8; after mean = 45.7). The eta squared statistic indicates a large effect size (0.3).Conclusions:Single entry communities result in an over estimation of street connectivity. If SECs are not accounted for, trip distances will be underestimated and public health efforts to promote walking through walkable neighborhoods may prove less effective.
