Slowly, the Indonesian people may be used to being free from the problem of nutritional deficiencies. What happened actually entered a transition from malnutrition to excess nutrition. In fact, the problem of excess nutrition began to afflict low economic class society. That is, those with low economic levels, are not likely to suffer from chronic degenerative diseases such as the heart. Although energy and nutrient requirements are greater in adolescents than adults, there are some teenagers who eat too much more than they need to be fat. Adolescent age (10-18 years) is a period of nutritional susceptibility due to various reasons, namely first teenagers need higher nutrition because of increased physical growth. Second, there are changes in lifestyle and eating habits. Third, adolescents have special nutritional needs, for example the needs of athletes. Changing eating habits one of them occurs due to widespread globalization. Teenagers are one of the target groups who are at risk of experiencing more nutrition. More nutrition in adolescents is characterized by relatively excessive body weight when compared to the age or height of adolescent age, as a result of excessive accumulation of fat in body fat tissue. According to Law No. 36 of 2009 concerning Health explained that health efforts are any activities and / or a series of activities carried out in an integrated, integrated and sustainable manner to maintain and improve public health degrees in the form of disease prevention, health improvement, disease treatment, and health recovery by the government and / or community. Therefore it is necessary to strive to prevent obesity by means of counseling and giving obesity detection devices. The method used in this extension activity is in the form of focused discussion which begins with a lecture and then is carried out by asking questions directly. Through lectures instructors can deliver material that is important to be known and understood by students while through question and answer can complement unclear material and to help provide input on the problems faced by students about obesity. The provision of obesity detection devices is expected to help students to pay more attention to their health problems.

Routine Assessment

Routine assessment of nutritional status should be part of normal practice when seeing any patient. The purpose is to document objective nutritional parameters (e.g. anthropometry), identify nutritional deficiencies, and establish nutritional needs. Protein–energy malnutrition has many adverse consequences including growth failure (identified by reference to standard growth charts). Worldwide, malnutrition contributes to a third of deaths in children under 5 years of age, and one in nine people don’t have enough food to lead an active and healthy life. In developed countries, malnutrition complicates both acute and chronic illness with negative effects on outcomes. In clinical practice, a useful approach to nutritional assessment is to consider three elements: ‘what you are’ (i.e. body habitus—underweight for height; short for age; etc.), ‘what you can do’ (functional activity), and ‘what you eat’ (current nutritional intake).

Purpose – This paper aims to investigate the determinants of the motivation to pay tax in Ghana. Traditionally, raising tax morale to ensure compliance is often tied to the level of prevailing enforcement. But beyond enforcement, why do citizens pay tax? Design/methodology/approach – This paper relied on the sixth wave of the World Values Survey data in determining the drivers of tax morale. It used the probit model with different specifications to determine robustness of the results. Findings – The findings remain robust to model specification and show a non-linear relationship between age and tax morale. The level of education, marital status, patriotism, sector of employment, satisfaction with democracy and one’s “fear of God” do not matter in tax morale. The economic class of a person per se is also far from being a significant driver and that people are intrinsically motivated to pay tax once they are satisfied with their financial situation, have trust in the government as well as confidence in the parliament. Originality/value – In addition to being a pioneering micro-econometric work on the determinants of tax morale in Ghana, the main contribution of the study lies in its investigation of a non-linear relationship between age and tax morale in Ghana.

Indonesia is a drug emergency, yes, this sentence illustrates the current condition of the Indonesian Replubic State. This is caused by rampant drug trafficking and abuse. In Indonesia, data from the National Narcotics Agency of the Republic of Indonesia shows in 2004 that 15% of Indonesia's population was involved in drug abuse (3.2 million) and in 2005 showed that 15,000 people died each year due to drugs (Jakarta Provincial Narcotics Agency, 2009) . The latest data on drug abuse in 2014 has increased by 4 million (BNN, 2015). Do not rule out the possibility of drug abuse will continue to increase in the following years as long as there is no education on the dangers of drug education at the Secondary School level Education is believed to solve the problem of the Indonesian people in order to avoid drug abuse. This belief is strengthened because education is a planned effort to influence others, whether individuals, groups, or the community, so that they do what is expected by education practitioners (Notoatmodjo, 2003: 16). In addition, in RI Law No. 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System, article 1. Explains that: "Education is everything that is done by someone for himself or done by someone else for him, with the aim of bringing him closer to the level of perfection" From the opinion of some experts and based on the Act –Chief The National Education System can overcome drug abuse behavior. While the education chosen by researchers is Physical Education. This consideration was chosen because in the Syllabus of learning in schools in Physical Education subjects there is some material regarding drug abuse itself. In addition to previous considerations, Physical Education not only aims to encourage physical growth, but as Freeman (2007: 27-28) states that physical education uses physical activity to produce overall improvements to the physical, mental and emotional quality of students as one complete unity. Through sports physical education and health it is expected that students become "physically educated people" who not only emphasize motor skills and movement patterns but can maintain health improvement as stated by Metzler (2005: 14) a person can become "Physically educated person" must meet the following standards: (1) demonstrate motor skills and the skills and patterns of motion needed to display various physical activities, (2) demonstrate an understanding of the concepts of motion, principles, strategies and tactics as they apply in learning and performance of various physical activities, (3) participate regularly in physical activities, (4) achieve and maintain improved health and fitness levels, (5) demonstrate personal and social responsibility in the form of respect for self and others in an atmosphere of activity s physical, and (6) values ​​physical activity for health, pleasure, challenges, self-expression, and social interaction. Therefore the author tries to examine implementing a program to prevent drug abuse behavior in physical education. So physical education, sports and health can be one way or a protector to increase knowledge of the importance of preventing drug abuse

Nutritional Needs

Human need balanced nutrition to grow up. It contained various nutrients namely energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Data from the Ministry of Health, the proportion of overweight in adults above 18 years old on 2018 amounted to 13%, while data from Basic Health Research mentions that adults with nutritional deficiencies amounted to 12.6%. This shows that many adults do not pay attention to the food with balanced nutrition that can lead to obesity and nutritional deficiencies.  To prevent this, it can be done by eating healthy food that contains enough calories. Someone needs different calories according to the age, height, weight, gender and physical activity. To optimize the level of calory that being consumed daily, we use Genetic Algorithm to obtain more menus with higher calory, the menu will be divided into breakfast, lunch, and dinner, in accordance to the recommended nutritional needs. From this study using Genetic Algorithms, there is an average increase in the number of calories by 88 kcal, from 1037 kcal to 1123 kcal, and there is one chromosome that satisfies the recommended calorie requirement, which is 1,849 kcal.

The importance of building a therapeutic relationship between a physician and a patient is taught early on in a medical student's training, specifically through the practice of obtaining a patient history. This process consists of gathering information in four main categories: the history of the present illness, personal social history, past medical history, and family history. Each piece of information obtained within these categories is vital in ensuring a patient receives appropriate and effective care. Specifically, a social history consists of asking about a patient's relationship status, support system, home environment, interests, exercise, nutritional habits, substance use, and sexual history. To complete a successful and full social history, one should try to address the social determinants of health. As per the Government of Canada’s website, social determinants of health “refer to a specific group of social and economic factors within the broader determinants of health. These relate to an individual’s place in society such as income, education or employment” [1]. Consequently, a critical component of a complete social history interview should be investigating a patients socioeconomic status. Low socioeconomic status (LSES) has been found to play a role in incidence and susceptibility to a variety of health conditions. As such, I believe that screening for and asking questions pertaining to the socioeconomic status of a patient should be considered a vital and essential component of every patient assessment.

Balanced nutrition is beneficial for physical growth and development, maintaining health, replacing body tissues, and supporting reproductive health. There are several things that need to be considered during pregnancy, including nutritional needs during pregnancy which are different for each individual and one of them is influenced by health history and previous nutritional status. To help pregnant women control their nutritional needs and solve the problems above, an Electronic Diary Food (EDIFO) application will be created as an information system for balanced nutrition intake for pregnant women. A pregnant woman can access a balanced nutrition information system application anywhere and anytime. The application can be used by all pregnant women as long as the pregnant women can connect to the internet and are able to use the internet.
