Pil-Pintar Intervention Reduce Anemia among Young Teen Girls: A Pilot Study

Background: Iron deficiency anemia and low adherence to take iron tablets are prevalent issues among teenage school girls in Indonesia. To address this concern and encourage regular iron supplementation, the public health office of Sukoharjo Central Java Indonesia introduced a pil-pintar program, colloquially known as the “smart pill.” Aims: This study aimed to measure the increase in hemoglobin (Hb) levels and its correlation with nutrient intake related to Hb synthesis following the pil-pintar intervention. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-posttest approach was performed involving 49 school teenage girls aged 12-15 years in a public school in Sukoharjo, Indonesia. Each student was given an iron sugar coat tablet containing 182 mg of ferrous-fumarate (equivalent to 60 mg elemental iron) and 0.400 mg of folic acid per tablet, called pil-pintar, once a week for 12 weeks. Results: A decrease in anemia prevalence by 24.4% and a notable increase in Hb levels by 1.0 mg/dL (p = 0.001) were observed in the 12 weeks of intervention. However, the study found no association between the nutrient intakes related to Hb production and the resulting Hb levels. Conclusion: The pil-pintar program effectively improved the hemoglobin levels of anemic teenage girls in the Sukoharjo district, Indonesia.

The slab failure in Central Java (Indonesia): New insight into its tectonic setting and origin

The geochemical and tectonic characteristics of volcanic formations in Central Java, specifically the Sumbing-Slamet volcanics, were investigated to understand the processes associated with slab failure in the region. Through comprehensive geochemical analysis and comparison with other volcanic formations, insights into the magmatic evolution and tectonic settings of the Sumbing-Slamet volcanics were gained. The findings support the hypothesis of slab tearing beneath Central Java, as evidenced by distinct geochemical signatures and magmatic interactions observed in the Sumbing-Slamet volcanics. Geochemical data reveal medium to high potassium content (K2O = 0.77–2.32%), low Nb/Y (<0.6561), low TiO2 relative to Al2O3 [TiO2 < (−1.1610 + 0.1935 × Al2O3)], Th/La >0.2, as well as a wide range of Nb/La and Nb/Zr (0.14–0.89 and 0.0304–0.0744, respectively), notable depletions in high-field strength elements (HFSE; such as Nb, Ti), low to high Ta-anomaly (δTa = 0.21–1.03), and whole-rock isotopes of 87Sr/86Sr (0.704458–0.705800) and 143Nd/144Nd (0.513059–0.512766) demonstrate that they were formed from active continental margin (ACM) tectonics involving subducted sediment input. These magmatic processes likely resulted from the mixing of lithospheric and asthenospheric mantle sources due to slab failure in the northern part of Central Java. The research contributes to strengthening the geophysical view regarding the existence of slab tearing in Central Java, understanding the dynamic geological processes occurring in subduction zones, and emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in studying such phenomena.

Improving Knowledge Sharing through Trust-based Collaboration and Idealized Influence Transformational

The aim of the current research is to examine the effect of trust-based collaboration and idealized transformational leadership to the knowledge sharing. It also examined the effect of contingent reward transactional leadership to trust-based collaboration and knowledge sharing. Data used in the current research are primary ones derived from questionnaires distributed to selected respondents. All lecturers of private universities in Central Java Indonesia having A qualification in institutional accreditation are the population. The sample is part of the population. Sampling technique used is non probability sampling, not all population has the same opportunity to be sample. The reason is that population is homogeneous in nature. The sample analysed is 162 respondents. The research finding indicates that idealized influence transformational leadership positively affects to trust-based collaboration. Trust-based collaboration has a positive effect on knowledge sharing. The research fails proving the effect of contingent reward transactional leadership to trust-based collaboration and knowledge sharing. Thus, the current research contributes to literature concerning the importance of trust-based collaboration in increasing knowledge sharing. The study is the first study examining the role of trust-based collaboration to the relationship between idealized influence transformational leadership and knowledge sharing. Trust-based collaboration is the novelty of the research, that is derivation of the two theories. The finding strengthens one of main flows in literature and gives more empirical evidence about the relationship between transformational leadership and knowledge sharing that the relationship between the two is indirect in nature.

The Association of Demographic Characteristics and Top Management Team Heterogeneity on Hospital Performance

This study aims to show how the demographic characteristics and heterogeneity of the top management team (TMT) associate with hospital’s performance as measured by the balanced scorecard (BSC). The study employs cross-sectional primary data from hospitals in Central Java Indonesia, collected from 242 hospitals. The result shows that the demographic characteristics including age, female, period of experience serving as TMT, level and specialization of education, were not associated with the hospital’s performance. Likewise, the short period of experience in the organization inside or outside of a hospital’s TMT members was not associated with the hospital’s performance. However, TMT’s heterogeneity showed a positive result towards the hospital’s performance. The academic and practical implications of the findings are discussed.

Effectiveness of Health Promotion Related to Behavior of Living Clean and Healthy (BLCH) Towards the Quality of Life in the Family Order in Karanganyar Regency Central Java Indonesia

These various problems are closely related to behavioral factors, where behavior has a role in maintaining and increasing the degree of health, namely behavior in having BLCH (Kholifah et al., 2017)(Hartini et al., 2017). The quality of health in the society will be achieved if the government launches a health program or movement. There are several movements that have been launched by the government in Indonesia, including the Movement for Healthy Living Communities (Germas) or Behaviour of Living Clean and Healthy (Kemenkes RI, 2018)(Erlina Puspitaloka Mahadewi et al., 2021). The aim of the study was to see the effect of health promotion regarding BLCH on quality of life in the family order. The independent variable of health promotion is about BLCH and the dependent variable is the quality of life of the society in the family order. This type of research is quasi-experimental with a nonrandomized pretest posttest control group design. The research was conducted in 2 sub-districts, Gondangrejo and Colomadu, Karanganyar Regency, with a total population of 40,630 families, using Non-Probability Sampling technique with Purposive Sampling technique. The sample based on the Slovin 396 formula which was divided into the intervention group and the control group. This research used Multiple Liner Regression analysis with Interval data scale. Results: There was no significant effect of BLCH in the MCH category on the quality of life of the intervention group. (b = 0.36, t partial = 1.62 and p value = 0.108). There was no significant effect of BLCH in the environmental health category on the quality of life of the intervention group. (b = 0.47, t partial = 1.53 and p value = 0.128). There was no significant effect of BLCH in the lifestyle category on the quality of life of the intervention group. (b = 0.25, t partial = 1.16 and p value = 0.249).

Teacher Information Literacy for Inclusive Early Childhood Education (ECE) to Provide Literacy and Numeracy for Special Needs Children in Central Java-Indonesia

Digital teaching emphasises information literacy as one of the competencies critically required in the education community. It marks the starting point of information management to acquire comprehension and achieve learning objectives, as an attempt to support individual abilities in facing any challenges. The increasing number of special needs children at inclusive schools challenges teachers to provide the best education services. Teachers are urged to learn in diverse ways to acquire skills in handling special needs children in their classrooms. This study used a mixed methods approach, using quantitative data to present participants’ demographic data and observation on literacy-numeracy skills of special needs children and qualitative data on the teachers’ information literacy for facilitating literacy-numeracy activities for special needs children in inclusive classrooms. This study purposively selected 20 Early Childhood Education teachers from five regions in Central Java who were experienced in handling inclusive classrooms. The data were collected through interviews, observations and documentation studies. Meanwhile, the data analysis interpreted all aspects that correlated to each other. The findings confirmed that teachers with information literacy on special needs children could facilitate play-based activities for literacy-numeracy skill learning. Teachers used the outcome of this information literacy to manage learning, starting from identifying the learning needs, designing learning programmes, implementing programmes, to conducting evaluations. Therefore, teachers urgently require necessary training that supports their information literacy in managing classroom learning, especially for special needs children.

Do mountains kill states? Exploring the diversity of Southeast Asian highland communities

Abstract Mountains and highlands are not what scholars have conventionally imagined them to be: environments that limit and constrain their inhabitants in deterministic ways. Rather, mountains and highlands provide unique opportunities for people to engage in creative transformation of their societies. Highland communities are connected to a wider world, and they radically remake and experiment with their landscapes, settlements, and societies. Mountains serve as birthplaces and testing grounds for statecraft, urbanism, irrigation, and monumental landscape engineering. Here we explore the diversity of highland communities by analysing the latest archaeological and historical discoveries from three regions across Southeast Asia: the Kulen mountains (Cambodia), the volcanoes of central Java (Indonesia), and the Ifugao highlands (the Philippines). We find that, far from being a negative image of the ‘civilized’ lowlands, mountains were creative, diverse, dynamic, and well-connected places. This compels us to change the way we conceive of today’s highland communities and their relationships to modern nation-states.

Characteristics of Fish Ball Tofu as Affected by Different Species and its Flesh Concentration

Fishball tofu (FBT) is a diversification product of meatball tofu which was specially produced in Semarang Central Java Indonesia. Meatball tofu is usually made from beef. FBT is produced from fish flesh. Caharacteristics of FBT from different species with different concentration of flesh was investigated. The experimental design in this study was a factorial completely randomized design with different species (giant gourami and catfish) at varying flesh concentrations (30%, 40% and 50%). Fish species and flesh concentration had significant effect on protein and fat content of FBT (P&lt;0.05). No difference of gel strength was observed for FBT from giant gourami and catfish at flesh concentration of 50% and 30%, respectively (P&gt;0.05). The highest protein content (11.42%) was achieved for FBT from catfish at 50% flesh concentration and the lowest protein content (8.08%) was observed for FBT from giant gourami at 30%. FBT from giant gourami at 50% flesh concentration had the highest fat content, meanwhile FBT from catfish at 30 and 40% showed the lowest fat content. Fish species and flesh concentrations did not have significant impact on moisture and ash contents of all FBT samples (P&gt;0.05). The moisture and ash contents of all FBT were of 69.25-71.15% and 0.59-0.86%, respectively. Different species and flesh concentration had a significant effect on the hardness, deformation and gel strength (P&lt;0.05). The highest hardness was achieved for FBT from giant gourami at 50% flesh concentration (P&lt;0.05). The highest deformation was attained for FBT from catfish at 30% flesh concentration and the lowest deformation was found in FBT from giant gourami with 50% flesh concentration (P&lt;0.05). The deformation values of FBT from catfish were greater (11.4-23.73 mm) than those from giant gourami (10.33-13.9 mm). Overall, FBT from catfish are preferred than those from giant gourami.

Estimation and Spatial Analysis of Agriculture Plastic Waste Case Study: Karangdowo Subdistrict, Klaten Regency, Central Java Indonesia

Plastic waste is well known as generated from domestic activities; however, agricultural activities, including fertilizing, spraying pesticides, and soil covering, have the potential to generate plastic waste. Many studies indicated that agricultural plastic waste (APW) can cause pollution of agricultural land, impacting soil health, biodiversity, and productivity. Therefore, this study aims to estimate the loading rate of APW and its potential for recycling. The data was collected from farmers in Karangdowo district, Klaten City, Central Java province, Indonesia, based on clustering and random samples. Data on land area, crop type, planting frequency, pesticide and fertilizer application was determined to estimate APW loading rate. Mapping of the estimation of the loading rate of APW and plastic-type in each village was processed using QGIS software. The results show four types of plastic with a total estimation per year: plastic sacks (949.6 kg/year), plastic bottles (182.9 kg/year), plastic bags (697.0 kg/year), and mulch (12913.6 kg/year). There were three types of plastics: High Density polyethylene (HDPE), Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), and polypropylene (PP). Although the horticulture area was less than 10% of total agricultural area in each village, it generated the highest LDPE from the use of mulch. Ringinputih village has the highest estimation of recycle potential HDPE, LDPE, and PP compared with the other villages due to having the most significant horticultural area and variation of crops.

Green infrastructure modelling for UHI control to urban thermal comfort: a case study of Temanggung urban area

ABSTRACT The Temanggung urban area in Central Java (Indonesia) already has considerable urban Green Infrastructure (GI), but the phenomenon of Urban Heat Island (UHI) has expanded to 268% in the last seven years. This study explores the theoretical gaps related to urban thermal comfort by combining tree management modelling as the independent variable and existing urban morphology as the dependent variable to identify the right place for the right tree using ENVI-met v5 simulations. We use the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) to determine urban thermal comfort, and our results showed a temperature decrease from 37°C (strong heat stress) to 32.5°C–35.5°C (moderate heat stress) and an average decrease of 1°C–3.5°C. These results were obtained by simulating the placement pattern of substations, land use zoning, tree size composition, paying attention to the type of road surface material, wind direction and speed and direction of road orientation, average air temperature, and location of building masses. This study provides a basis for consideration to assist local governments and researchers in managing GI in Temanggung Urban Area to create comfortable urban thermal comfort for their residents.

TWO NEW LOCALITIES FOR THE SPOTTED BETTA BETTA PICTA (VALENCIENNES 1846) (ANABANTIFORMES, OSPHRONEMIDAE) IN JAVA, INDONESIA

For the first time, the species Betta picta is registered for the southern part of Central Java (Indonesia), being recorded for two localities in the Progo River basin catchment, one in the Magelang and the other in the Bantul Regency, representing an extension of about 100km south to the nearest previously known distribution. These two new records were based on four specimens, three males and one female, collected in February 2019, which were identified as Betta picta since the males possess the main diagnostic features of the species: opercle with yellow-gold iridescence coloration, interrupted stripe below eyes, and a dark subdistal band on caudal and anal fins. Currently, this species is categorized as Near Threatened (NT) by the IUCN, and considering the negative effects of urbanization over the species natural habitats, the new records are important for the species conservation.
