But in reality, there are many obstacles in its implementation[2]. Data shows that exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia is 89.4% (2020). Physical factors due to complications or fatigue after giving birth also have an impact on breast milk production, so mothers tend to fail to exclusively breastfeed[3][1]. A non-pharmacological method that can reduce postpartum stress, increase comfort and body fitness so as to help stimulate breast milk production is the herbal steam bath.[4]. This is a culture of local wisdom that is still preserved in various parts of Indonesia as a therapy for postpartum mothers. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of herbal steam bath on breast milk production for postpartum mothers in Surabaya. The design of this study was a quasi-experimental (two group pre-post test design). This research was conducted on postpartum mothers in Surabaya. The study was conducted for 6 months. Determination of the sample using purposive sampling technique. The treatment group was given intervention for 1 week as much as 2x, namely Herbal Steam Bath for 5-20 minutes. Endorphin massage was performed in the control group for 1 week with a frequency of 2 times/week for 20 minutes. Each group was given a pre-test and post-test to determine the production of breast milk with indicators of increased baby weight, increased frequency of urination and defecation. Data analysis with independent T-test and Mann Whitney. The results showed that there was a significant effect of herbal steam baths on increasing breast milk production with a value of = 0.012 or <0.05.

Fish are also easily damaged. Therefore, some fishermen use formalin as a preservative for their caught fish. However, the use of formalin in food is prohibited and is considered dangerous because it can cause health problems. Hence, the use of natural preservatives is an alternative. The combination of banana peel vinegar and NaCl salt used banana peel vinegar can inhibit the growth of microbes in the fish body. Furthermore, if it is combined with the addition of NaCl, it can reduce the water content in the fish body so that microbes cannot grow and reproduce. The purpose of this study was to obtain an effective concentration of preservatives from the combination of banana peel vinegar and NaCl. This type of research is experimental with 4 treatments 9:1, 7:1, 4:1, and 3:1. Each treatment was repeated 6 times. 24 samples of fish that have been treated are left for 12 hours at room temperature which represents the time fishermen catch fish until they come to shore. The results of this study showed that the durability of fresh fish in 4:1 treatment got a value of 6.95, categorized as fresh fish. It means that the combination of banana peel vinegar and NaCl salt at a concentration of 4:1 is effectively used as a fish preservative.

Premenstrual syndrome experienced can be bad for adolescents if not treated early. Therefore, teenagers are expected to be able to manage themselves as well as possible to avoid these problems. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between physical activity and sleep quality with the incidence of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). This research is an observational analytical study that is cross-sectional. Sampling using the slovin sample size formula, the sample was taken with a simple random sampling technique with a sample size of at least 39. The independent variables are physical activity and sleep quality, while the dependent variables are the incidence of Premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Data collection used the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and The Shortened Premenstrual Assessment From (SPAF). To analyze the relationship, a spearman rank test with a meaningfulness level or error limit is used, namely p≤0.05.  The results showed that most female students had moderate physical activity as many as 33 female students. Then it can be known that most experienced moderate sleep quality as many as 17 female college students. The results of the Spearman test ranked the relationship between physical activity and Premenstrual Syndrome p value = 0.326 so that Ho was accepted and the relationship of sleep quality with Premenstrual Syndrome p value = 0.044, so Ho was rejected. Based on the description above, it can be concluded that there is no significant relationship between physical activity and premenstrual syndrome but there is a significant relationship between sleep quality and premenstrual syndrome in level 3 female students of the Diii Obstetrics Study Program, Magetan Campus. It is hoped that female students can increase their knowledge in managing themselves from an early age so that Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) does not occur.","PeriodicalId":245634,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Health Science and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123443348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Public health risk continues to be one of the environmental and public concerns in Nigeria. The emission of natural background ionizing radiation from the outer space, crust of the earth, food, and water and construction materials contributed a lot to the public environmental exposure. The populations’ exposure to background radiation emanated from terrestrial, cosmic, and internal radiation account for 82% which are out of control. Present work was aimed to carry out an investigational study of the natural background ionizing radiation levels, identify locations with high or low BIR and assess the health effect within Nigeria’s communities based on the available data extracted from the literatures and establish a baseline data of exposure rate, absorbed dose rate, annual effective dose equivalent, and excess life cancer risk from outdoor and indoor background radiation. This dosimetric study of natural background radiation in Nigeria is important to monitor the levels of radiation to which people are exposed directly or indirectly. Recently, several studies have been done in Nigeria and different values were reported based on indoor and outdoor background radiation doses. In this paper, a review and literature survey of natural background ionizing radiation was carried out. The data extracted based on indoor and outdoor revealed that Plateau, Oyo, River, Delta and Ondo, Sokoto, Kano and Niger have the highest value of dose rate compared to the world average value. The order of magnitude of the dose rate were Plateau > Oyo > Rive > Delta > Ondo and River > Plateau > Sokoto > Kano > Oyo > Ondo > Delta > Niger for Indoor and outdoor respectively. The highest outdoor & indoor annual effective doses were observed in OYO, Sokoto, Ondo, Delta, Akwanga, Plateau, and River. The results were comparatively greater than the world acceptable limit of 1.0 mSv/y. The order of magnitude of annual effective are OYO > Sokoto > Ondo > Niger Delta and Akwanga > Plateau > Delta > River for outdoor and indoor respectively. The regions with highest excess life cancer risks in Nigeria were observed in Oyo, Akwanga, Ondo, Plateau, River, Kaduna, Anambra, Port court, Abuja, Delta, Ibadan and Kano.
