Title: Relationship between Food Calories Intake and Lung Function in Pedicab Drivers in Surabaya City Authors: Lorensia, Amelia; Virlando Suryadinata, Rivan; Dwi Anggrealdi, Reza; Yoga Diputra, I Nyoman Abstract: Relationship between Food Calories Intake and Lung Function in Pedicab Drivers in Surabaya City Amelia Lorensia 1* , Rivan Virlando Suryadinata 2 , Reza Dwi Anggrealdi 3 , I Nyoman Yoga Diputra 3 1 Department of Clinical-Community Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Surabaya University, Indonesia 2 Department of Public Health, Faculty of Medical, Surabaya University, Indonesia 3 Faculty of Pharmacy, Surabaya University, Indonesia * Authors Correspondence: amelia.lorensia@gmail.com/08155020707 ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT The increasing number of motor vehicles will increase the exposure of air pollution. Air pollution can cause respiratory disorders, especially on pedicab drivers who are working. Respiratory disorders are one of the diseases that can reduce quality of life and one of the risk factors of respiratory disorders is malnutrition. The purpose of this study was to determine the calorie intake of pedicab drivers with and without lung function impairment. This study uses analytical cross-sectional study, correlational study by using purposive sampling. Variables include: food calorie intake with 24-hour recall method. Respondents in the study consisted of 112 respondents in lung function impairment group (60 people (53.57%) had a deficit level of food calorie intake) and 11 respondents without the impairment group (5 people (45.45%) had a deficit level of calorie intake). The average types of food that were consumed by lung function impairment group are rice, tofu, tempeh, eggs, and sambal. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) between each item consumed by respondents. There was no significant difference of the effect of calories between the two groups (p>0.821). Therefore, it can be concluded that low intake of calories can be related to lung function, although further research is still needed regarding the relationship.

Title: Differentials in Reproductive Health Knowledge among Adolescents in Indonesia Authors: Kistiana, Sari; Nuri Fajarningtiyas, Desy; Lukman, Syauqy Lukman Abstract: Differentials in Reproductive Health Knowledge among Adolescents in Indonesia Sari Kistiana 1 1 , Desy Nuri Fajarningtiyas 1* , Syauqy Lukman 2,3 Research Center for Population, Indonesia National Research and Innovation Agency, Indonesia 2 School of Demography, The Australian National University, Australia 3 Public Relations Study Programme, Faculty of Communication Science, Padjadjaran University, Indonesia * Authors Correspondence: desynuree@gmail.com/081357424364 ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Due to societal taboos, traditional and religious norms, Indonesia’s Z-generation, who account for a large population, is frequently underinformed about reproductive health. The objectives of this study are to determine whether there are any differences in the knowledge of Indonesian young adults on reproductive health issues, modern contraceptive methods, and sources of information for reproductive health by selected sociodemographic characteristics. From the 2019 Performance and Accountability Survey, 41.582 never-married adolescents between the ages of 10 to 24 years were selected for the analysis. In this study, descriptive and bivariate analyses were performed. The means of the two groups were compared using t-tests. The results show that adolescents still lack information about reproductive health. The overall means for knowledge of reproductive health, modern methods of contraception, and sources of information about reproductive health were 1.97, 2.54, and 3.07, respectively. Adolescents were highly exposed to message about reproductive health on television and the internet. Adolescents that are older, reside in urban areas, are more educated, and are wealthier are reported to have significantly higher knowledge than their counterparts. With enough concern and increased attention being provided to younger adolescents, who reside in rural areas, who have lesser education, and are from the lowest wealth index, emphasis should be placed on increasing information to promote reproductive health literacy among adolescents. Television and digital media are crucial communication channels for educating with young people about reproductive health. Policies and programs should be designed to involve peers, relatives, and teachers in providing information about reproductive health.

The data obtained is secondary data from Larvae Free Index and DHF cases in Situbondo Regency for 3 years starting from 2019-2021. The data is displayed using QGIS mapping using points and polygons. Health information and the potential for dengue fever in the area can be identified using geographic mapping, this information can be used to decide policies in breaking the chain of disease. The number of dengue cases in Situbondo Regency increased from 2019-2021. Larvae Free Index value of each village is better than the previous year. The spread of dengue cases is very high due to the mobility of residents who carry out activities outside the area of residence, resulting in transmission of dengue through mosquito bites. To prevent the spread of dengue cases, people are expected to use mosquito-repellent lotion when traveling.
