Risk Factors for Peripheral Vertigo

Background: Several risk factors influence the occurrence of peripheral vertigo, including advanced age, gender, and chronic metabolic diseases. This disease is not widely recorded in primary care due to the need for detection with simple examinations. Research on the association of several risk factors has yet to be reported. Objectives: To examine the relationship between age, gender, type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), and hypertension as risk factors for peripheral vertigo. Methods: This study is a case-control study that used consecutive sampling. The study sample consisted of 39 people: 19 in the case group and 20 in the control group. Data were obtained from 2 health centers and Diponegoro National Hospital, Semarang City. The data were obtained from history taking and physical examinations such as the Gans Sensory Organization Performance Test (SOP), past pointing test, and dysdiadokokinesia test. DM2 disease and hypertension were gathered from medical records. Data analysis used univariate analysis, bivariate analysis with chi-square, and logistic regression multivariate analysis. Results: Statistical test results concluded that hypertension is a risk factor for peripheral vertigo (p = 0.008; OR = 6.964; 95%CI = 1.657 - 29.263). Whereas age, gender, and DM2 were not risk factors, with p-values of 0.187, 0.378, and 0.417, respectively.

Data collection was carried out through pretest and posttest of numeracy skills developed based on the Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia Number 137 of 2014 (National Standard for Early Childhood Education). The results showed that the average pretest score was 28.00 and the posttest increased to 46.16 after the use of digital educational games. The normality test shows normal distributed data, while the N-Gain Score test produces an average score of 0.91 which is classified as a high category. The hypothesis test using the Paired Sample T-Test showed a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000, which means that there is a significant influence of the use of digital educational games on children's numeracy skills. This increase shows that the proper use of digital games in learning can significantly improve early childhood numeracy skills. This study suggests the integration of digital educational games in the early childhood education curriculum as an effective alternative to improve numeracy skills.

Evaluation of Rat Density and the Associated Factors in Leptospirosis Endemic Areas: The First Report on the Use of BI-Index

Introduction: Leptospirosis is a health problem in tropical countries where rats serve as the reservoir of Leptospira contamination. Previous investigations implementing the Bi-index to assess rat density in Leptospirosis endemic areas are highly limited. This study aimed to use the Bi-index in monitoring rat density and the associated factors in urban Leptospirosis endemic areas. Methods: Four endemic areas in Semarang City were selected as the study sites based on Leptospirosis data in Puskesmas Gayamsari. Live traps were positioned in one case house and 39-49 neighboring houses in a 100m radius, on three consecutive days. Trapped rats were collected for species identification, morphometrics evaluation, and calculation of Bi-index and rat indices, while environmental parameters were obtained through observation. Results and Discussion: 67.1% of participants were women, private employees, and aged 17-55, while trap success ranged from 2.5-26.5% with the Bi, diversity, dominance, and evenness indices of 0.02-0.32, 0.94-1.09, 0.36-0.44, and 0.79-0.96, respectively. Trapped species included Rattus norvegicus, Rattus tanezumi, and Mus musculus with proportions of 61.3%, 34.1%, and 4.7%, respectively. The presence of rats was associated with closeness to the river containing stagnant water, frequent flooding, water entering houses during floods, open trash bins, and rubbish bins around the houses. The high rat density, dominant species, and correlated environmental conditions are strategic targets in controlling Leptospirosis in Semarang City. Conclusion: The rat density (dominated by R. norvegicus) in Semarang City was correlated with water drainage and garbage management, hence further investigation was recommended to determine Leptospira bacterial infection in rodents.
