Penyalahgunaan obat dan narkotika merupakan masalah yang serius di kalangan remaja. Hal ini menyebabkan tingginya risiko terjadi AIDS pada kelompok ini. Masa pertumbuhan dan perkembangan remaja dimana kondisi psikologisnya belum stabil untuk menemukan jati dirinya mendukung terjadinya kasus AIDS. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mendapatkan gambaran tentang pengetahuan, sikap, dan penilaian remaja terhadap AIDS. Data dianalisa dengan menghitung nilai mean (rata-rata) dari pernyataan yang dikelompokkan dalam variable pengetahuan, sikap, dan penilaian. Kemudian berdasarkan skala penilaian yang sudah ditetapkan, hasil perhitungan nilai mean dikelompokkan untuk menilai level/tingkatannya. Penelitian dilakukan di empat SMU di wilayah Jakarta Utara yang ditentukan secara acak untuk mendapatkan responden sebanyak 160 orang. Dari data yang ada didapatkan nilai mean 2,694 untuk variable pengetahuan yang dilihat dari skala menunjukkan berada pada tingkat sangat baik. Sedang nilai mean untuk variable sikap didapatkan 3,327 dan variable penilaian dengan mean 3,516, sesuai skala yang ditetapkan menggambarkan berada pada tingkat baik. Hasil penelitian ini kurang mendukung fenomena yang ada sekarang ini, yaitu bahwa kejadian kasus AIDS cenderung terjadi peningkatan, padahal secara kognitif sudah menunjukkan tingginya pemahaman, sikap, dan penilaian remaja terhadap AIDS. Maka untuk menindaklanjuti penelitian ini diharapkan aka nada penelitian lebih lanjut untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi remaja dalam kaitannya dengan perilaku menyimpang dan peningkatan kasus AIDS. Drug abused and narcotics are the big problem that occurs in adolescent group. Its cause of high risk the incidence of AIDS cases in this group. Growth and development period in adolescent that are still unstable psychologically to find out their self-identity support in increasing the incidence of AIDS. The purpose of this study is to describe the knowledge, attitude, and value of adolescent toward AIDS. This study uses means of the knowledge, attitude, and value statement variables to analyze the data. Based on the score scale, the mean is used to assess level of value. This study is conducted in four senior high school in North Jakarta District . Random sampling is used in this study to choose 160 students as respondent. The result of this study indicated that the mean of knowledge variable is 2,694 and this shows a very good level. Furthermore, the mean of attitude and value variables that describes a high of incidence of AIDS in adolescent group. In fact, this study cognitively indicated a high level of knowledge, attitude, and value variables in adolescent group due to AIDS. It needs to identify the risk factors that affect the adolescent in relation to behavior and increase of AIDS cases.

Aims: The study measured the level of knowledge and attitudes towards malaria and examined associated factors among caregivers of under-five children. Study Design: The study was community-based, descriptive cross-sectional. Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out in Buea Health District (BHD) from February to June 2020. Methodology: Data were obtained through face-to-face interviews with the caregivers of under-fives. The above mean scores were used to determine the level of knowledge. The attitude levels were measured by using 3-point Likert scales. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors associated with knowledge and attitude. SPSS software version 20.0 was used for analysis. Results: Out of the 390 respondents, 69.5% of them had a neutral attitude. Meanwhile, 27.7 % of participants carried a favorable attitude towards malaria and only 2.8 % of them had an unfavorable attitude, Caregivers of under-five children who scored below the mean score were 25.1 % which was considered having poor knowledge and above the mean score was 74.9% which was considered good knowledge. In the multivariable logistic analysis, caregivers with a primary school level of education were 4.1 times (AOR = 4.1, CI = 1.486-11.102) times more likely of receiving a high malaria knowledge score as compared to those with no formal education. Factors associated with caregiver's attitude level towards malaria risk were educational level and marital status which showed significant associations in the univariate analysis Conclusion: Caregivers of under-fives displayed a good knowledge of malaria risk factors. However, in these endemic areas for malaria, caregiver attitude was found to be unenthusiastic and unresponsive, and this poses additional challenges in reaching the malaria elimination goal. Thus, suggesting that educational messages during the campaign should be contextual to reach out to local communities to trigger a positive behavioural change.

When it comes to zakat obligations, people only know certain types of zakat that are obligated to be issued. There are two types of zakat; zakat fitrah and zakat property. However, zakat’s division may vary according to the state's fatwa. In Selangor, Lembaga Zakat Selangor (LZS) is the body that governs the administration and implementation of Zakat. The breakdown of zakat property is Zakat on Income, Zakat on Business, Zakat on Savings, Zakat on Gold and Silver, Zakat on Investments and Shares, Zakat on KWSP, Zakat on Paddy, Zakat on Agriculture, Zakat on Wealth and Treasure, and the Zakat on Takaful. However, this study will only focus on Zakat Takaful. Under Zakat Takaful, there are several divisions which are Zakat Wang Takaful/Takaful Investment, Zakat on Maturity Policy, Takaful Compensation, Tabarruq Fund, Benefit of Total and Permanent Disability, and Compensation of Conventional Insurance Policy. Each of these sections has its calculation method which will be explained further. This study was conducted to identify the level of knowledge and acceptance of Takaful Muslim consumers on the implementation of Zakat Takaful that has been introduced by LZS. Besides, this study will also look at the knowledge of Takaful agents and their willingness to disseminate information of Zakat Takaful to their customers. This study was conducted by using the sampling method and descriptive data analysis. The study found that on average, respondents' knowledge on Zakat Takaful is low with a mean of 2.32. However, the mean for acceptance is 3.93 which is set at a high level thus showed a good acceptance of the survey respondents. Through this study, it can be concluded that knowledge and acceptance are both very important in achieving the objective of implementing Zakat Takaful. Knowledge by Takaful participants who are also assisted by agents who play the role of conveying knowledge of Zakat Takaful is directly perceived to have a more effective effect in addition to the behavior/attitude that forms the intention of Takaful participnts to accept the implementation and to pay Zakah Takaful. This study is also expected to be the push factor among the zakat agents to play a role in disseminating the right information about Zakat Takaful to their customers, which also can be regarded as one of the da'wah forms.

Introduction: Metabolic syndrome, the clustering of multiple cardiovascular risk factors, is established as a risk factor for CVD. Shorter or longer sleep duration has been reported to be associated with increased risk of metabolic syndrome (MS) and diabetes mellitus (DM) through increased insulin resistance (IR). However, it is not known if impaired sleep alters IR in a high-risk population with known MS/DM. Methods: The Baptist Employee Healthy Heart Study is an ongoing lifestyle intervention study examining the effects of web-based interventions on reducing CVD risk in individuals with MS/DM. Sleep duration was self reported by the participants. Daily sleep duration was categorized into sleep <7 hours (short), 7 to 8 hours (normal) and >8 hours (long). Homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated from fasting insulin and fasting glucose level. Results: The population consisted of 182 participants (74% women, 49% Hispanic, mean age 52 ± 9 years). In this study the mean sleep duration was 7±5 hours and mean HOMA-IR was 5.2 ± 5.6 units. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, BMI, waist circumference, total cholesterol level and LDL cholesterol level did not apparently differ across the groups. Both short and long sleepers tended to have lower HDL cholesterol level and higher triglyceride level (p<0.05). The mean HOMA-IR was significantly higher in short and long sleepers {7-8hrs (4.09±4.8); <7hrs (5.36±4.7); >8hrs (9.52±10.7), p<0.001}, and were more likely to have HOMA-IR in the highest quartile as compared to normal sleepers. In ordinal logistic regression, after adjustment for traditional risk factors, short and long sleepers were at 2-3 fold higher risk of increasing levels of HOMA-IR. Conclusions: In this study of high metabolic risk individuals, sleep duration was associated with increased insulin resistance and highlights the importance of improving sleep hygiene in the clinical management of high risk individuals with MS and DM.

BackgroundSleep habits and burnout have been shown to be associated with increase in infectious diseases, but it is unknown if these factors are associated with risk of COVID-19. We assessed whether sleep and self-reported burnout may be risk factors for COVID-19 among high-risk healthcare workers (HCWs).MethodsFrom 17 July to 25 September 2020, a web-based survey was administered to HCWs in six countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, USA) with a high frequency of workplace exposure. Participants provided information on demographics, sleep (number of sleep hours at night, daytime napping hours, sleep problems), burnout from work and COVID-19 exposures. We used multivariable linear and logistic regression models to evaluate the associations between sleep, burnout and COVID-19.ResultsAmong 2884 exposed HCWs, there were 568 COVID-19 cases and 2316 controls. After adjusting for confounders, 1-hour longer sleep duration at night was associated with 12% lower odds of COVID-19 (p=0.003). Daytime napping hours was associated with 6% higher odds, but the association varied by countries, with a non-significant inverse association in Spain. Compared with having no sleep problems, having three sleep problems was associated with 88% greater odds of COVID-19. Reporting burnout ‘every day’ was associated with greater odds of COVID-19 (OR: 2.60, 95% CI 1.57 to 4.31, p trend across categories=0.001), longer duration (OR: 2.98, 95% CI 1.10 to 8.05, p trend=0.02) and severity (OR: 3.26, 95% CI 1.25 to 8.48, p trend=0.02) compared with reporting no burnout. These associations remained significant after adjusting for frequency of COVID-19 exposures.ConclusionsIn six countries, longer sleep duration was associated with lower odds of COVID-19, but the association with daytime nap may not be consistent across countries. Greater sleep problems and high level of burnout were robustly associated with greater odds of COVID-19. Sleep and burnout may be risk factors for COVID-19 in high-risk HCWs.

Our objective was to compare the venous thromboembolism outcomes in two of the most commonly utilised venous thromboembolism assessment tools, the Caprini system and the University of Michigan system, in a high risk head and neck surgery population. Currently, there is a lack of data reporting the validation of well known scoring systems in this patient population. Established risk factors for venous thromboembolism were included in the data collection process. We retrospectively evaluated all patients with the Caprini Risk Assessment and the University of Michigan Health System (UMHS) Scores. Out of all the risk factors, only length of surgery was found to be associated with venous thromboembolism. The mean Caprini scores in those with and without venous thromboembolism were 8.00 ± 3.00 and 6.86 ± 1.45, respectively. The mean UMHS scores in those with and without venous thromboembolism were 6.85 ± 1.28 and 6.54 ± 1.20, respectively. Both scoring systems were not found to be associated with venous thromboembolism.
