Effectiveness of an educational intervention for disaster preparedness for elementary school students in Central Sulawesi

This study aims to compare the level of disaster preparedness between providing counseling with audiovisual media and visual media in elementary school students in the Sigi District. This research used a quasi-experimental with the pretest–posttest design. Forty-eight respondents were divided into two groups, namely audiovisual media and visual media groups. Respondents were determined by the total quota sampling technique. Data was collected using questionnaires and observation sheets—data analysis using an at-dependent and t -independent test. The results of the t-dependent test showed that the audiovisual media group had a significant influence on improving preparedness ( p = 0.000). The visual media group also has a significant influence on improving preparedness ( p = 0.000). The results of the t -independent test found a significant difference in the level of Preparedness between the audiovisual media group and the visual group, where the audiovisual media group had a greater level of Preparedness than the visual media group ( p = 0.04). This shows that the audiovisual media counseling method can have a greater influence on the increase in Preparedness compared to visual media.

Distribution of schistosomiasis intermediate snail in Lore Lindu National Park, Central Sulawesi

Schistosomiasis in Indonesia is only found in three locations, namely the Napu Highland and the Bada Highland in Poso District and the Lindu Highland in Sigi District, Central Sulawesi Province. The disease is caused by Schistosoma japonicum with snail Oncomelania hupensis lindoensis as its intermediate host.

The survey was conducted in February 2018, covering 12 villages belong to Napu Highland, Bada Highland, and Lindu Highland. Data collection included surveys on the snail habitat and the snail density. In both activities, geographic coordinates were determined using Global Positioning System (GPS). The results showed 14 foci areas of O. h. lindoensis were found in the buffer zone of Lore Lindu National Park.

Farmers’ preferences for composite corn in dry land area of Central Sulawesi

Effects of Family Planning and Baby Care Behavior on Stunting in Early Married Couples

BACKGROUND: District with the highest stunting prevalence in Central Sulawesi province is Sigi District by about 43.0%. Its birthrate is 3.2 and the first marriage age is 19.9 years old. AIM: This study analyzed various relationships between family planning behaviors of early married couples with births and stunting, as well as its connection with baby care (colostrum, exclusive breastfeeding, completeness of immunization, supplementary feeding, and breastfeeding for up to 2 years old). In addition, it will describe family planning behaviors and baby care in a gender perspective as well. METHODS: The sample of this study was 40 early married couples in the last 3 years in the area of Marawola Health Center in Sigi District. Data analysis used Chi-square and Mouser to see the gender relationship gap in the choice of contraception and baby care. RESULTS: There was a relationship between family planning behavior and birth with p = 0.001, a large parity with the incidence of stunting with p = 0.002. Likewise, there was also a relationship between baby care (colostrum of p = 0.0016, exclusive breastfeeding of p = 0.003, completeness of immunization of p = 0.003, supplementary feeding of p = 0.00, and breast milk up to 2 years of p = 0.00) and the occurrence of stunting in early married couples. The idea of family planning and child care is still dominated by wives, from the stages of planning, decision making, and implementation. Gaps occur because of unbalanced power relations. CONCLUSION: Family planning behavior and baby care (colostrum, exclusive breastfeeding, completeness of immunization, supplementary feeding, and breastfeeding for up to 2 years) affect the incidence of stunting in early married couples.

Fermentation of probiotic-enriched commercial feed to improve tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) growout performance

The Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is a freshwater food fish farmed in many regions around the world, including Indonesia. Feed is often the main input in aquaculture systems; however, feed quality is not always optimal for fish health and growth. Probiotics are microorganisms which can help break down complex compounds and make feed more digestible through fermentation. Benefits can include improved health, survival and faster growth. This research studied the effect of feed enrichment through fermentation with a probiotic (BOSTERR) on O. niloticus grow out performance. The probiotic was added to commercial feed (HI-PRO-VITE 782) with eight fermentation time treatments (A = 0 days = control; B=1 day; C=2 days; D=3 days; E=4 days; F=5 days; G=6 days; H=7days). Experimental fish were 120 O. niloticus fingerlings (total length 4-5 cm; weight 0.90-1.25 g) from Kalawara Hatchery, Sigi District, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Five fingerlings were placed in each experimental unit (aerated aquaria, 20 L water) and fed 3 times/day at 5% of bodyweight. Variables measured were growth (length and weight), survival rate (100% under all treatments) and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Water quality was monitored. The best results in terms of growth and FCR were obtained with 2 days of probiotic fermentation treatment.
