Health problems in the elderly were commonly caused by their gradual physiological changes. These physiological changes decrease their ability in doing their activity in daily living, one of them is personal hygiene. This study aimed to know the elderlies' experience in conducting personal hygiene in Banjar Duur Kaje Gianyar. This was a qualitative study using a descriptive phenomenology approach done in 2019. Four elderlies who met the inclusion criteria involved in this study. Interview and field notes were used to obtain the data. The data analysis using Colaizzi Method showed that there were four main themes on this study: (1)  personal hygiene done by maintaining a healthy and clean body, (2) personal hygiene technique to keep the body clean: bathing, teeth brushing and using clean clothes, (3) hindrances in conducting personal hygiene, namely physiological factor and family support, and (4) overcoming those hindrances by doing personal hygiene according to the individual ability. We suggest the health care facilities and participant's families providing adequate physiological and psychological support for the elderly in conducting personal hygiene.

The article addresses the theme of "masculinities" from the perspective of infertile men and their partners. It argues that experiences of infertility should be understood as disruption in relation to the body and in relation to the narrative of life that is informed by cultural notions of kinship and gender. These notions are closely connected to a culturally specific story of coming-into-being, which gives symbolic priority to biological procreation and genetic connectedness. Being a real father and a real man depends on procreative abilities. In order to come to terms with infertility, infertile men try to redefine such ideologies of authenticity. The article illustrates how infertile men are confronted by strong cultural associations between fertility, sexuality and masculinity, and how these notions are related to other ideas of masculinity such as independence of the individual, ability to be a provider and a conception of the "intact" body. Finally, the article demonstrates how men and women differ in coping with infertility, childlessness and fertility treatment, and their longings for parenthood. However, gender is not the only difference, which makes a difference in the world of infertile and childless people. The ideas of masculinities unfold through men's relations with other men and through generational differences and similarities.

AbstractThis study was conducted to define the abdomen types of Korean elderly women and to develop an abdominal fat ratio (AFR) estimation equation using key body measurements and indexes that well represented the body type characteristics of elderly women. An analysis was performed of the correlations between the individual obesity-related measurements and index items to explain the body shape characteristics and obesity trends in elderly women. To derive the equation for estimating the AFR of elderly women, the abdominal types of elderly women were classified, and then, the distribution of each type was investigated. Then, a simple regression analysis was performed in which the dependent variable is predicted by using a single predictor. The AFR and WHtR (Waist-Height Ratio) showed a higher correlation with the obesity-related measurement items and indexes; thus, an equation was derived that enables the estimation of the AFR using simple body measurements. Additionally, the morphological differences of the various abdomen types were analyzed to provide the trends of the abdomen types depending on the AFR in the elderly. This new model for estimating abdominal fat percentage developed in the present study is significant in that it uses relatively easy-to-obtain anthropometric measures like height and waist circumference. The results of the present study demonstrated the relationship between WHtR, which not only well reflects elderly obesity but is also closely related to the prevalence of obesity in the elderly. This finding suggests that the shape of the abdomen will serve as a potential health indicator in the future.

Protecting safe working conditions involves the use of ineffective and reliable means of preventing industrial injuries and occupational diseases, technologies, equipment and others. It is natural that the fields, technological processes, etc., are characterized by their specifics and the safety rules should be different for them. In pharmacies, laboratories, training and scientific research laboratories, warehouses, production equipment are subject to daily cleaning. Cabinets in storage rooms should be cleaned as needed, but at least once a week. Wet cleaning of the pharmacy, laboratory/ factory (floor and equipment) before starting work. Only dry cleaning of laboratory / production using disinfectants is not allowed. Waste and rubbish should be collected in special containers with a moving lid and should be removed at least once a day. Hand-washed sinks, toilets and garbage containers should be cleaned, rinsed and disinfected daily. Personnel are required to follow the rules of personal hygiene and industrial sanitation, to carry out the relevant personnel to perform food, smoking, as well as storage of food, tobacco and personal medicines in pharmacies, training and scientific research laboratories and departures. Pharmaceutical establishments do not comply with the hygienic norms of the internal and external environment, physical, chemical and biological factors of the labor process. The facility also does not take into account psychosocial factors related to safety (stress, communication, post-traumatic stress, etc.); Most pharmaceutical establishments (50-60%) do not have a fire board with appropriate equipment, evacuation exit and scheme. Also has no person responsible for the matter; Disobsibility and specialist protection/separation facility prior to pandemic were minimal (increased by 99%) during pandemic; The state should create an appropriate legislative and institutional framework; We think this will help transform the existing department into an effective labor inspectorate. The possibility will be created of the institutional capacity of its independence and efficiency, and the law will also provide guarantees for the individual independence of inspectors. Also, the bill should directly refer to the Labor Inspectorate as the body responsible for law enforcement.

The article considers the possibilities of using classical, progressive in the food environment container systems of grain harvesting in the seed production environment. The individual ability of such systems to combine technological operations without inter-operational transshipment of material is taken as a basis analytically, technologically, calculatively. As a feature the need to maintain its viability throughout the entire billet cycle without losses is taken into account analytically, technologically, calculatively. General issues analytically, technologically, and computationally take into account the negative impact of the presence of wheeled vehicles in the field with gross seed collections of up to 400 tons, the volume of a single feed of up to 4.2 m3 and marked personnel shortages by calculatively minimizing operators. It is analytically established, today there is no device that fully meets these requirements, in which either the requirement of combining technological operations was not met, or traumatic drying methods for breeding seeds were used, or there were structural difficulties in cleaning the body and low-intensity drying of grain. The result is a replacement drying and transport body for inclusion in the technology of the harvesting and transport process and post-harvest grain processing. The total operational economic effect: from the introduction of drying and transport removable bodies instead of the classic dump truck transport body, with a gross grain harvest of up to 400 tons, ranged from 4.7 thousand rubles/ha to 5.82 thousand rubles/ha - on average, this is 1.76 times lower, or 16% lower than the cost of using transport bodies installed on the “Multilift" system, but not having the ability to combine operations.

Abstract Numerous physiological changes during the normal aging process can potentially affect how drugs are handled by the body. Gastrointestinal changes include increased gastric pH, decreased intestinal motility, and decreased blood perfusion. Age-related changes in body composition and protein concentrations in plasma contribute to alterations in the distribution of drugs. Hepatic metabolism of drugs may be affected, and renal excretion via glomerular filtration or tubular secretion is diminished. The importance of each of these physiological changes in the elderly, as well as the contribution of multi-drug therapy and other external factors, is discussed.

To support health, efficiency and active longevity, a person needs to provide the body with the micronutrients necessary for metabolic processes. They must consume food in quantities that correspond to the physiological needs of the individual. Analyses of consumer demand have found that the human diet throughout life often includes dairy products.However, whole milk is often poorly tolerated by both the elderly and people with lactose intolerance (hypolactasia).This article examined the selection of alternative energy sources, focusing on the example of a drink that uses plant raw materials.Thus, the recipe of a new fermented drink based on nut raw materials was developed. The optimization of the hydromodule for the drink preparation from peanuts and hazelnuts, according to the content of the main food components and organoleptic quality indicators, was carried out. The chemical composition of the developed drink was established, a portion of which met 20% of the daily recommended value of vitamin B1, 16.8% of the daily value of niacin, and 15% and 19% of the daily value of iron and magnesium, respectively. The possibility of producing a fermented drink with nut raw materials as a complete replacement of cow’s milk was therefore shown to be justified.

Bali as one of the cities with the fourth rank has the largest number of elderly people in Indonesia. Religious, social and cultural life has a very strong influence on the quality of life of the elderly. The purpose of this study was to describe the quality of life of the elderly in Gianyar, Bali. This study uses a phenomenological qualitative approach with data collection techniques, interviews and observations. The subjects involved in this study were eight elderly individuals, eight subjects consisted of 4 men and 4 women, aged 60-70 years, with low educational status. The majority of participants have a partner (married), and still have a job as a daily activity. five out of eight elderly felt that the income they earned was sufficient to meet their daily needs, while three elderly felt that the income they earned could not meet their daily needs. The results of this study illustrate that eight elderly people have been able to achieve a quality life in 6 aspects, namely social relationships (active in social life); psychological well-being (positive feelings, self-worth); spiritual (gratitude), independence (organize and decide on their own activities, be financially independent); self-empowerment (beneficial for others. involved in decision making for family or community); environment (facilities and infrastructure or health care facilities). Meanwhile, one other aspect, namely physical health is defined as a condition of the body that is not fit and visual disturbances are often sick, so that it is perceived that their life is less qualified. Bali sebagai salah satu kota dengan peringkat keempat yang memiliki jumlah penduduk lansia terbanyak di Indonesia. Kehidupan beragama, sosial dan budaya yang sangat kuat mempengaruhi kualitas kehidupan lansia. Tujuan Penelitian ini untuk mendeskripsikan kualitas kehidupan lansia di Gianyar, Bali. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif fenomenologi dengan teknik pengumpulan data wawancara dan observasi. Subyek yang terlibat dalam penelitian in adalah delapan individu lansia, delapan subyek terdiri dari 4 orang laki–laki dan 4 perempuan, berusia antara 60-70 tahun, dengan status pendidikan yang rendah. Mayoritas partisipan memiliki pasangan (menikah), serta masih memiliki pekerjaan sebagai aktivitas kesehariannya. Lima dari delapan lansia merasakan bahwa penghasilan yang didapatkan cukup untuk memenuhi kebutuhannya sehari-hari sedangkan tiga lansia merasa bahwa penghasilan yang didapatkan kurang dapat memenuhi kebutuhannya. Hasil penelitian ini menggambarkan bahwa delapan lansia telah mampu mencapai kehidupan yang berkualitas pada 6 aspek yaitu hubungan sosial (aktif dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat); kesejahteraan psikologis (perasasan positif, keberhargaandiri); spiritual (rasa syukur), kemandirian (mengatur dan memutuskan aktivitas sendiri, mandiri secara finansial); pemberdayaan diri (bermanfaat untuk orang lain. dilibatkan dalam pengambilan keputusan untuk keluarga atau masyarakat); lingkungan (sarana dan prasarana atau fasilitas perawatan kesehatan). Sementara satu aspek lainnya, yakni kesehatan fisik dimaknai dengan keadaan tubuh yang kurang fit dan gangguan penglihatan sering sakit, sehingga dipersepsikan kehidupannya kurang berkualitas.

Leprosy, also known as morbus Hansenʼs disease, is a chronic disease caused by M. leprae. Leprosy attacks various parts of the body including nerves and skin. The most important factor in the occurrence of leprosy is the sources of transmission and contact, both from patients and the environment. Household conditions where the person lives and the nutritional status of the individual can be a risk factor for leprosy. Household hygiene and sanitation can be seen from several aspects, like the physical environment of the house, clean water facilities, personal hygiene, availability of latrines, waste disposal facilities, and garbage disposal. This study was aimed to determine the correlation between household hygiene sanitation and nutritional status with females with leprosy in Gresik Regency. This case-control study was conducted in December 2019 in Gresik Regency. The subjects of this study were 74 respondents taken by consecutive sampling techniques. Retrieval of data was carried out using observations from the healthy house component questionnaire, personal hygiene questionnaire, and direct measurement. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. The results showed significant correlation between physical environment of the house ( p = 0.001 , OR = 0.104), clean water facilities ( p = 0.008 , OR = 0.261), availability of latrines ( p = 0.018 , OR = 0.209), waste disposal facilities ( p = 0.015 , OR = 0.291), and personal hygiene ( p = 0.001 , OR = 2.850) and female leprosy in Gresik Regency. There is no correlation between nutritional status ( p = 0.085 , OR = 0.422) and wastewater disposal waste ( p = 0.183 , OR = 0.486) and female leprosy in this study.

Summary Aim: The influence of physiological and pharmacological amounts of iodine on the uptake of radioiodine in the thyroid was examined in a 4-compartment model. This model allows equations to be derived describing the distribution of tracer iodine as a function of time. The aim of the study was to compare the predictions of the model with experimental data. Methods: Five euthyroid persons received stable iodine (200 μg, 10 mg). 1-123-uptake into the thyroid was measured with the Nal (Tl)-detector of a body counter under physiological conditions and after application of each dose of additional iodine. Actual measurements and predicted values were compared, taking into account the individual iodine supply as estimated from the thyroid uptake under physiological conditions and data from the literature. Results: Thyroid iodine uptake decreased from 80% under physiological conditions to 50% in individuals with very low iodine supply (15 μg/d) (n = 2). The uptake calculated from the model was 36%. Iodine uptake into the thyroid did not decrease in individuals with typical iodine supply, i.e. for Cologne 65-85 μg/d (n = 3). After application of 10 mg of stable iodine, uptake into the thyroid decreased in all individuals to about 5%, in accordance with the model calculations. Conclusion: Comparison of theoretical predictions with the measured values demonstrated that the model tested is well suited for describing the time course of iodine distribution and uptake within the body. It can now be used to study aspects of iodine metabolism relevant to the pharmacological administration of iodine which cannot be investigated experimentally in humans for ethical and technical reasons.
