Objective: Between 2013 and 2014, past 30-day use of e-cigarettes increased from 4.5% to 13.4% among US high school students aged 9–19 years. We sought to examine the influence of perceived addiction and harm of e-cigarettes on e-cigarette use among adolescents. Design: Self-reported use and perception of harm of e-cigarettes were assessed using a cross-sectional design. Setting: Data were collected from the 2014 National Youth Tobacco Survey. Method: Multivariate logistic regression models were employed regressing lifetime e-cigarette use and past 30-day use on established covariate factors. Results: Perceiving e-cigarettes as less harmful than conventional cigarettes increased students’ odds of lifetime use (odds ratio [ OR] = 2.40, 95% confidence interval [ CI] = 1.98–2.90) and past 30-day use ( OR = 2.18, 95% CI = 1.63–2.92) of e-cigarettes. Perceiving e-cigarettes as less addictive than conventional cigarettes also increased students’ odds of lifetime use ( OR = 2.11, 95% CI = 1.82–2.45) and past 30-day use ( OR = 1.93, 95% CI = 1.57–2.38) of e-cigarettes; however, perceiving e-cigarettes as more addictive than conventional cigarettes also increased students’ odds of lifetime use ( OR = 1.85, 95% CI = 1.37–2.49) and past 30-day use ( OR = 2.68, 95% CI = 1.84–3.90) of e-cigarettes. Other influencing factors of e-cigarette use among youth included race, grade level, living with a smoker and lifetime use of regular cigarettes. Conclusion: The perception that e-cigarettes are less addictive and harmful than their conventional counterparts may be an important risk factor for the use of e-cigarettes. Factors influencing young people’s perceptions need to be examined further.

Abstract: Advances in technological development have led to increased use of smartphones. To date, the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) of the upper extremities is increasing and according to previous studies one of the MSD causes is the continued use of smart phones by high school students. This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of MSD of the upper extremities experienced in the last 7 days and to evaluate the relationship between MSD complaints and smartphone usage among adolescent high school students. This was an analytical study with a cross-sectional design. The instruments in this study were demographic questionnaire, smartphone usage, and modified Nordic Body Map Questionaire. Data were analyzed by using the Spearman Rho correlation test. There were 170 respondents (N = 170) involved in this study. Most of the MSD complaints were in the neck (n = 73; 42.9%), followed by in the shoulder (n = 61; 35.9%), and finger (n = 49; 28.8%). Most of the pain was categorized as mild pain. The Spearman Rho test showed significant correlations, as follows: between MSD in the neck and gaming as well as chat frequency (p=0.040); between MSD in the upper arm and one sesion gaming duration (p=0.005); and between MSD in the fingers and gaming duration in one sesion (p=0.007) and in a day (p=0.042). In conclusion, among adolescent high school students, frequency as well as duration of smartphone usage could influence the occurrence of MSD in the upper extremities.Keywords: musculoskeletal disorder, smartphone, duration of usage, frequency of usage, gaming Asbtrak: Kemajuan perkembangan teknologi menyebabkan peningkatan penggunaan telepon cerdas.

Abstract:Glucosuria is the condition when glucose excreted into the urine. Supposedly urine does not contain glucose, because renal filtration will absorb glucose back into the blood circulation. One of the factors that could cause glucosuri is obesity. When plasma glucose level in obese adolescents still in normal range, it would not lead to the secretion of glucose in urine. Otherwise, if the plasma glucose levels are higher than normal, kidneys cannot be longer resist the renal threshold value for glucose (180 g/day) and there will be a partial excretion of glucose in urine.This study aimed to look the glucose urine level in children, obese and non-obese, at St. Rafael junior high school students Manado. This study was held on September to December 2014. This was a descriptive study with cross-sectional design. Samples were 100 teenagers that met the inclusion criteria who had nutritional status of obese and normal weight, and were willing to become respondents. The results showed that glucose in the urine of 100 samples wich divided into 50 samples of obese and 50 samples of non-obese were negative in both groups. Conclusion: There was no correlation between obesity and glucosuria in obese teenagers since their urine glucose levels did not reach the kidney treshold.Keywords: glucosuria , obesity , normal weight.Abstrak: Glukosuria adalah ekskresi glukosa ke dalam urin. Seharusnya dalamurin tidak mengandung glukosa, karena ginjal akan menyerap glukosa hasil filtrasi kembali ke dalam sirkulasi darah. Salah satu faktor yang dapat menyebabkan glukosuri adalah obesitas. Padaremajadengan obesitas apabilakadar gula plasma masih dalam keadaan normal maka tidak akan menyebabkan terjadinya sekresi glukosa dalam urin. Sebaliknya, bila obesitas dengan kadar glukosa plasma lebih dari normal sehingga ginjal tidak bisa lagi menahan nilai ambang batas ginjal untuk glukosa (180 g/hari) maka akan terjadi eksresi sebagian glukosa melalui urin. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat adakah glukosa dalam urin pada anak remaja obes dan tidak obes pada siswa-siswi SLTP St.Rafael Manado. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan September-Desember 2014. Jenis penelitian bersifat deskriptif dengan rancangan potong lintang. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 100 orang sesuai dengan kriteria inklusi yaitu remaja, memiliki status gizi obesitas dan berat badan normal, dan bersedia menjadi responden. Hasil pemeriksaan glukosa dalam urin pada 100 sampel yang terbagi dalam 50 sampel obes dan 50 sampel tidak obes adalah negatif. Simpulan: Tidak terdapat hubungan antara obesitas dengan glukosuria pada remaja obes yang belum mencapai ambang batas ginjal.Kata kunci: glukosuri, obesitas, berat badan normal.

Abstract Background Child sexual abuse (CSA) refers to the involvement of a child (< 18 years) in sexual activity that he or she does not fully comprehend, is unable to give informed consent to, or for which the child is not developmentally prepared and cannot give consent, or that violates the laws or social taboos of society. It is a serious public health problem affecting millions of people each year worldwide but the most neglected and least documented form of violence in Ethiopia among school girls. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the magnitude of child sexual abuse and its associated factors among female high school students in the Dire Dawa administration, Eastern Ethiopia. Methods An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted among female high school students in Dire Dawa administration between March 1 and 23/2021. We employed stratified and multistage sampling techniques to include 794 participants from selected high schools. A pretested self-administered questionnaire was used, and the data were analyzed using the SPSS software version 24. Results The proportion of students who reported at least one form of sexual abuse was 384 (48.9%) and approximately 19% of the students reported rape from the total respondents. Students who live alone 4.3 times (AOR 4.30; 95% CI 1.81–10.24), those who live with their friends five times (AOR 5.02; 95% CI 2.24–8.04), and those who live with their single parent three times (AOR 3.31; 95% CI 1.23–8.89) more likely to experience sexual abuse than those living with both parents. The odds of experiencing sexual abuse among students of rural residence were 3.2 times higher than their urban counterparts (AOR 3.2; 95% CI 2.02–4.51). Students who didn’t drink alcohol were 70% more protective than those who drank alcohol (AOR 0.70; 95% CI 0.28–0.97). Among rape survivors (64, 37.9%) developed unwanted pregnancies, 26.0% of them underwent an abortion, and (39, 26.0%) developed STI as an outcome of sexual abuse. Conclusion This study demonstrated that the magnitude of child sexual abuse among female students in Dire Dawa was high. Lack of discussion about sexual issues with parents, living without both parents, drinking alcohol, and being a rural residence had a significant association with child sexual abuse. Unwanted pregnancy, abortion, and STIs have been reported as reproductive health outcomes of rape. Therefore, policymakers should introduce and strengthen comprehensive sexual and reproductive health education both in school and out of school, in addition to formal education to reduce the magnitude of the problem. Parents should discuss all sexual and reproductive health issues with their children to reduce the magnitude and consequences of child sexual abuse.
