In 2013, the obesity rate in Indonesia for people over the age of 18 was 14.8 percent; by 2018, the obesity rate had risen to 21.8% (Riskesdas, 2018a). The significant number of fat people in Indonesia is caused by high sugar consumption and low fiber consumption regularly. One hundred grams of pumpkin seeds contain 6 grams of fiber, 30.23 grams of protein, 7.2 mg/100 zinc, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and phytosterols (Nurhasim, Tamrin, and Wahab, 2017). The purpose of this study is to identify the panelists' level of preference for four formulations of pumpkin seed flour boba using assessment factors such as taste, color, texture, and aroma. The procedural model was used in this research and development. This development study utilizes an opinion-based process (Borg and Gall, 1984), which is then modified based on research needs. Organoleptic testing on boba products without added milk drinks on untrained panelists revealed a significant difference in color and texture parameters. There was no significant difference in panelist acceptability of aroma and taste characteristics. The findings of the untrained panelist's appraisal of boba added to a milk companion drink were then presented, revealing significant changes in the color and texture parameters. Furthermore, there were no statistically significant changes in the aroma and taste indices.

There are 5,197 positive confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Banjarbaru. It is known that the COVID-19 pandemic causes essential problems related to basic needs such as economic, social, shelter and nutrition, as well as the physical effects of the disease. Not only health workers but also families of health workers experience psychological pressure. In a preliminary study, it was found that the family feel worried and anxious about their families members who work in a hospital to take care of patients. This research aims to investigate the correlation between anxiety levels and insomnia in family members of health workers at Idaman Hospital, Banjarbaru, during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research uses a Cross-Sectional approach using social media with the google form platform taking 125 correspondence as a sample. The research instrument used the DASS-21 and Insomnia Severity Index. The data were analyzed using the SPSS program, with the Spearman rank correlation test working by testing the associative hypothesis of two ordinal scale variables (ranking). A total of 70.4% of family members of health workers at Idaman Hospital Banjarbaru have a very severe level of anxiety. In addition, 46.4% of the families of health workers at Idaman Hospital Banjarbaru experienced severe insomnia. The correlation for state anxiety-insomnia is 0.846 with a p-value = 0.000 (p < 0.05). This indicates that the two variables have a significant relationship with moderate correlation strength. The direction of the positive correlation indicates that these two variables move in the same direction, meaning that the higher the anxiety, the higher insomnia is experienced. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the population was limited. It is necessary to conduct further and comprehensive research on the psychological impact on family members of health workers. It is very limited to find research that examines the psychological condition of the family of health workers because, as we know, that not only affects the health workers themselves, but the family also experiences psychological impacts.

The prevalence of non-communicable hypertension in Indonesia in 2007, 2013, and 2018 tends to increase. This phenomenon is predicted to continue. Riskesdas shows that the prevalence of hypertension in 2018 shows the number in the population aged over 18 years based on national measurements of 34.11%. Based on the annual report of the Cinunuk Public Health Center, it shows that hypertension is the largest non-communicable disease pattern in the Cinunuk Public Health Center in 2020, reaching 2672 cases of disease from 12517 cases of other diseases with a percentage of 21.34%. Hypertension is still a major public health problem associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Hypertension can be controlled consistently by modifying a healthy lifestyle. The DASH (Dietary Approach To Stop Hypertension) dietary intervention recommended in national guidelines can substantially lower blood pressure in both people with hypertension and those without hypertension. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge of DASH (Dietary Approach To Stop Hypertension) and hypertension in Cinunuk village in 2021. This study was conducted using a quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach using primary data obtained through google form distribution. The research subjects were the people of Cinunuk Village, Cimekar, a total of 103 respondents who met inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of this study indicate that there is a relationship between Knowledge of DASH and Hypertension in Cinunuk Village (P 0.049), where the hypertension proportion was significantly smaller (2.6%) than the no-hypertension percentage (15.6%) in the group who familiar with DASH. Lifestyle modification, including DASH, play an important role in controlling hypertension.

The predominant breastfeeding coverage rate in Jombang Regency is 9 percent, which is the highest in the province of East Java. Furthermore, according to the Jombang Health Profile in 2019, the exclusive breastfeeding rate was 82.9 percent. The exclusive breastfeeding coverage rate is 0.23 percent lower than the rate of 83.03 percent in 2018. Mother's knowledge, mother's education level, environment and family, and socio-cultural support are all factors that contribute to the lack of exclusive breastfeeding. According to several researchers, a mother's level of education and knowledge has the greatest direct influence on breastfeeding. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between education level, mother's knowledge, and breastfeeding status with motor skills and nutrition status of toddlers in Diwek District, Jombang. This study used a cross-sectional study design with an observational analytic approach. The total population of this study, which included all children aged 0-4 years in Diwek District, Jombang Regency, was 9,264 children, with 200 samples obtained from calculations using the S. Lemeshow. The findings of this study from three independent variables (x) revealed that only one had a p-value greater than 0.05 or had a significant relationship with toddler motor skills. At the same time, the dependent variable nutritional status demonstrates that all factors in the independent variable have a p-value greater than 0.05 or indicate a link.

Background: The concept of "assessment for learning" has been widely defined as a form of assessment that facilitates students' learning. In an undergraduate setting, the concept is mostly applied on formative assessment as a form of repeated measurement followed by direct feedback. This study aims to explore the student's and teacher's perspectives about undergraduate formative assessment. Methods: We conducted a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach. Data collection saturated in six FGDs (N=44) from undergraduate students, two FGDs (N=15), followed by five in-depth interviews of teachers. The data transcripts were categorized and determined to the themes from teachers and students and a contested themes from teachers and students. Results: The subthemes interpreted from students such as (1) high concern on final scores, (2) no impact for next learning activities, (3) negative feedback is accepted as a consequence, (4) instructive feedback and explanation of material are preferable. The subthemes interpreted from teachers namely: (1) difficulty in determining individual scores; (2) students always need guidance; (3) feedback delivered related to the mastery of content.  Finally, we interpreted the contested themes from students and teachers, namely (1) A "summative perception" of formative assessment, 2) The hierarchical relationships in providing feedback, and 3) The "teacher-centered" feedback delivery. Conclusion: We found that the contested perspective of students and teachers represents the score-based mindset as well as hierarchical and teacher-centered feedback in the Indonesian context of undergraduate formative assessment. Further research should be considered in the adaptation of a new paradigm in formative assessment.

Clinical laboratory service assessment is essential in improving the quality of care and guaranteeing that quality standards are achieved. Physicians are their primary clients as physicians rely extensively on laboratory findings to make reliable diagnoses. Thus, the study aimed to assess physicians' satisfaction at a clinical laboratory in Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines, based on the quality of service they provide, by identifying which factors greatly influence physicians' satisfaction and the physicians' concerns and recommendations. The laboratory accessibility, report format, information system, turnaround time, and service provision are the five factors evaluated in this study. A mixed-method approach was utilized wherein an online survey consisting of a 5-point Likert scale, and open-ended questions were deployed using Google forms and answered by 42 physicians. IBM SPSS Statistics 22 and the MAXQDA system were used to evaluate the responses. Overall, the physicians were satisfied with the clinical laboratory's services (X=3.9762). The laboratory report format has the most significant impact on physicians' overall satisfaction and is the factor with which physicians are most satisfied. Improvement of the turnaround time is advised. Future studies, including more laboratories and participants, are suggested.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic affects all populations, including pregnant women. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) infection in pregnancy needs to be a concern because of the risk of transplacental transmission to the fetus and the potential to interfere with fetal development. The objective of this study is to review the transplacental transmission of COVID-19 and the teratological aspects of the event. This article is a literature study. Based on the literature obtained, placental infection, vertical transmission, and fetal infection have been identified in some cases. However, there is still no consistent and enough scientific evidence to show that those condition causes fetal damage or causes congenital anomalies. Virus and host characteristics are thought to explain why SARS-Cov-2 infection has not shown a teratological effect. SARS-CoV-2, similar to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) infection, does not indicate maternal-fetal transmission. The low-level expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and S protein priming proteases type II transmembrane serine protease (TMPRSS 2) in the placenta is also considered to be the factor that plays a role in inhibiting the vertical transmission of COVID-19. Adverse outcome of fetal death is more due to pathophysiological conditions of maternal health caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection during gestation.

The declines in physical fitness and cognitive function are two of the indicators that can be used in determining the health status of the elderly. According to Statistics Indonesia, the number of elderly people in Indonesia reached 20.24 million people in 2014. The Elderly will likely be more vulnerable to physical complaints due to the aging process. Gymnastics is an appropriate type of exercise for the elderly and has good benefits to improve the quality of life, maintaining their physical fitness and cognitive function. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of gymnastics of healthy elderly on physical fitness and cognitive function in Lembaga Lanjut Usia Indonesia (Indonesia Elderly Institutional) of West Java Province.  This research was conducted from February to June 2017. The research method is analytical observational with a cross-sectional design. The samples of research were 20 people who regularly attend gymnastics and 20 people who do not regularly attend gymnastics. Their age ranges between 60-69 years old. Measurements of fitness used in this study was a Six-minute walk test, while for cognitive function, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was applied. The results showed that 18 out of 20 people who exercised gymnastics on a regular basis had good physical fitness (V ?O_2max = 24,01–30,59ml/kg BW/min), and all of them had normal cognitive function (MMSE score between 24–30). As for chi-square test results, it was shown that the elderlies who performed regular physical fitness exercise had p<0,05, while their cognitive function had p< 0,05. In conclusion, there is a positive impact of gymnastics on the healthy elderly's physical fitness and cognitive function. The elderly who regularly attend gymnastics has chronic adaptation resulted in good physical fitness. In addition, gymnastics is a combination of muscle movement and breathing exercises, and it maximizes the blood flow and oxygen supply to the brain that results in better cognitive function.
