Abstract According to South Tangerang City Regional Regulation No. 4 of 2016 concerning Non-Smoking Areas (KTR) in Article 2 states that teaching-learning places including universities are places that are obliged to become smoke-free areas, but in fact not all faculties at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta have a Dean’s Decree regarding the implementation of KTR. This research was conducted to determine the factors associated with the implementation of KTR at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. This study used a cross sectional design which was conducted at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. The sample size is 379 respondents. Sampling using the cluster random sampling method. The analysis used the binary logistic regression test. The results showed that as many as 64.4% of the respondents were less than 20 years old and 50.1% of the respondents were male. In faculties that implement KTR, respondents who smoke less (2.3%), have better knowledge of smoking (97.7%), attitudes towards smoking behavior (97.7%), have better knowledge of KTR (94.3%), attitudes towards the application of KTR (97.7%) and most of them support KTR (95.4%) compared to respondents in faculties who did not apply KTR. The multivariate results using the binary logistic regression test showed a relationship between age (p = 0.033), gender (p = 0.041), smoking status (p = 0.042), attitudes towards smoking behavior (p = 0.030) and knowledge of KTR (p = 0.005) respondents with the application of KTR. The conclusion is that the variable that most influences the implementation of KTR at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta is knowledge of KTR. The results of this study recommend the need for education to increase knowledge about KTR in faculties that have not implemented KTR so that UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta can become a smoke-free campus. Abstrak   Menurut Peraturan Daerah Kota Tangerang Selatan No. 4 tahun 2016 tentang Kawasan Tanpa Rokok (KTR) dalam pasal 2 menyatakan bahwa tempat belajar-mengajar termasuk perguruan tinggi merupakan tempat yang wajib menjadi kawasan tanpa rokok, namun pada kenyataannya belum seluruh fakultas di UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta memiliki SK dekan terkait penerapkan KTR. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan penerapan KTR di UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross sectional yang dilakukan di UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. Besar sampel yaitu 379 responden. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan metode cluster random sampling. Analisis menggunakan uji binary logistic regression. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebanyak 64,4% responden berusia kurang dari 20 tahun dan 50,1% responden berjenis kelamin laki-laki. Di fakultas yang menerapkan KTR, responden yang merokok lebih sedikit (2,3%), memiliki pengetahuan tentang rokok yang lebih baik (97,7%),sikap terhadap perilaku perokok (97,7%), memiliki pengetahuan tentang KTR yang lebih baik (94,3%), sikap terhadap penerapan KTR (97,7%) dan sebagian besar mendukung KTR (95,4%) dibandingkan dengan responden di fakultas yang tidak menerapkan KTR. Hasil multivariat menunjukkan adanya hubungan antara umur (p=0,033), jenis kelamin (p=0,041), status merokok (p=0,042), sikap terhadap perilaku perokok (p=0,030) dan pengetahuan tentang KTR (p=0,005) responden dengan penerapan KTR. Kesimpulannya adalah variabel yang paling memengaruhi penerapan KTR di UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta adalah pengetahuan tentang KTR. Hasil penelitian ini merekomendasikan perlunya edukasi untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan tentang KTR di fakultas yang belum menerapkan KTR sehingga UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta berhasil menjadi kampus bebas rokok.

<p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong><br />Prediabetic is a state when glucose level is higher than normal, but does not meet the criteria for diabetes. Elderly people with prediabetic have a higher risk of type 2 diabetes. This observational analytical research was conducted to assess the correlation between sociodemographic and health care behavior of elderly toward incident of prediabetic. The participants were selected according to the inclusion criteria, and 76 participants were selected using cluster sampling and cross sectional approach was used. Multivariate logistic regression was used to estimate the correlation between gender, marital status, education, knowledge, attitude, and practice toward incidence of prediabetic. Data were analyzed using logistic regression test. The results showed that there were no significant differences of gender (p=1.000), marital status (p=1.80), education (p=1.000), and knowledge (p=1.000). Meanwhile, there were significant differences of attitude (p=0.003), practice (p=0.029), and behavior (p=0.012). The Logistic Regression test showed that attitude (OR=5.562) was the predictor of prediabetis incidence among Elderly. The effort to improve and to maintain health status of elderly is by changing the behavior. This can be achieved through an intense cooperation with health promotion team in Primary Health Care, especially nursing community, in a form of education and health promotion with various methods, such as direct intervention, community and elderly empowerment, and sector cross parthership. It is also recommended for Primary Health community to build health centers for elderly to give them access for health service especially for non communicable diseases prevention.</p><p><strong><em>ABSTRAK</em></strong><br /><em>Pradiabetes merupakan kondisi kadar glukosa darah di atas normal, tapi belum memenuhi standar diagnosis diabetes.

Background Physicians have a crucial role in the implementation and scale up of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). The objective of this study is to examine Belgian physicians’ PrEP knowledge, concerns, acceptance and their willingness to prescribe PrEP. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted between March and June 2016. Dissemination targeted Belgian primary care physicians (PCPs) and HIV specialists. Sociodemographic characteristics, experience with HIV and PrEP, self-assessed PrEP knowledge, concerns about PrEP, and PrEP acceptance were stratified according to professional background. Associations with willingness to prescribe PrEP were examined using univariable and multivariable binary logistic regression analyses. Results: In total, 333 completed surveys were included in the analysis. Sixty-two physicians (18.6%) scored their knowledge of PrEP to be good, 263 (79.0%) had an accepting attitude towards PrEP and 198 (59.5%) were willing to prescribe PrEP if approved in Belgium. HIV specialists consistently reported having better knowledge of PrEP, less concerns and a more accepting attitude towards PrEP than PCPs. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, higher PrEP knowledge (OR 2.4; 95%CI: 1.0–5.7) and higher PrEP acceptance (OR: 3.8; 95%CI: 2.1–6.8) remained significantly associated with the willingness to prescribe PrEP. Conclusions: HIV specialists are better prepared to provide PrEP than PCPs in Belgium. Interventions to improve PrEP knowledge and acceptance among all providers are needed. The role of PCPs could be very important in optimising the rollout of PrEP, but additional training and guidelines will be needed.

Abstract Background Understanding the causes and risk factors of metabolic syndrome is important for promoting population health. Oxidative stress has been associated with metabolic syndrome, and also obstructive sleep apnea. These are two diseases which have common prognostic characteristics for heart disease. The aim of this study was to examine the role of oxidative stress in the concurrent presence of metabolic syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea in a working population. Methods Participants were 163 artisan bakers in Shahroud, Iran, routinely exposed to significant heat stress and other oxidative stress indicators on a daily basis as part of their work. Using a cross-sectional design, data relevant to determining metabolic syndrome status according to International Diabetes Federation criteria, and the presence of obstructive sleep apnea according to the STOP-Bang score, was collected. Analyses included hierarchical binary logistic regression to yield predictors of the two diseases. Results Hierarchical binary logistic regression showed that oxidative stress – alongside obesity, no regular exercise, and smoking – was an independent predictor of metabolic syndrome, but not obstructive sleep apnea. Participants who were obese were 28 times more likely to have metabolic syndrome (OR 28.59, 95% CI 4.91–63.02) and 44 times more likely to have obstructive sleep apnea (OR 44.48, 95% CI 4.91–403.28). Participants meeting metabolic syndrome criteria had significantly higher levels of malondialdehyde (p <  0.05) than those who did not. No difference in oxidative stress index levels were found according to obstructive sleep apnea status. Conclusions Our findings suggest that oxidative stress contributes to the onset of metabolic syndrome, and that obstructive sleep apnea is involved in oxidative stress. Whilst obesity, exercise, and smoking remain important targets for reducing the incidence of metabolic syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea, policies to control risks of prolonged exposure to oxidative stress are also relevant in occupations where such environmental conditions exist.

Abstract Background and Aims Snakebite is a common animal bite injury in tropical countries. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an important complication in snakebite patients. This study aimed to comprehensively investigate the clinical profiles and outcomes of patients following hematotoxin-related snakebite associated with kidney impairment. Method We conducted a hospital-based, cross-sectional study of 238 patients with hematotoxin-related snakebite injuries. Data were retrieved from the King Narai Hospital Registry from October 2014 to August 2020. The prevalence of complications associated with snakebite injuries, including acute kidney injury (AKI) and its severity, was determined. Univariate and Multivariate predictors of AKI diagnosis were evaluated using binary logistic regression analysis Results A total of 238 patients, with 63.4% men, median (IQR) age 49.8 (39-61) years and median duration from injury to a hospital arrival of 1 hour (0.5-2) hours, were injured by Green pit viper (85.7%), Russell’s viper (12.6%) and Malayan pit viper (1.7%). AKI mostly occurred in Russell’s viper group 66.7%. An AKI was reported in thirty (12.6%, 95% CI: 8.7 % - 17.5%) patients, with the severity of 66.7% stage one, 6.7% stage two, 26.6% stage three by KDIGO classifications, and 13.3% requiring hemodialysis. Complete renal recovery was seen in twenty-two patients (73.3%), while partial renal recovery was 23.3%. Other complications included 84.4 % limb cellulitis, 4.6% significantly bleeding, 2.5% hypotension, 25.6% prolonged venous clotting time (VCT), 46.7% prolonged prothrombin time (PT), and 14.3% prolonged partial thromboplastin time (PTT). Of total patients, 60.1% were treated with anti-venom. Mortality was relatively low (0.4%). In multivariable logistic regression analyses, AKI was significantly associated with time to hospital arrival more than 3 hours (p = 0.04), Russell’s viper bitten (p = 0.01), clinical bleeding (p = 0.01), and prolonged PT (p &lt; 0.01). Conclusion The prevalence of AKI in patients bitten by hematotoxin snakes was 12.6%, mostly from Russell’s viper. Factors associated with AKI outcomes were time to hospital arrival more than 3 hours, Russell’s viper bitten, clinical bleeding, and prolonged PT. Besides, one-fourth of AKI patients turned to chronic kidney disease.
