Third group: administrated with (10 3 cyst/ ml) E. histolyticaand feeding with special diet content (25mg/kg) phytase for four weeks. Fourth group: administrated with (10 3 cyst/ ml) E. histolyticaand feeding with special diet content (50mg/kg) phytasefor four weeks. About oxidative stress, Levels of Malondialdehyde (MDA) and catalase (antioxidant enzyme) show high significant changes (P < 0.05) in an infected (with E. histolytica) group compare with control. After using phytase, levels of MDA and catalase in third and four groups show non-significant changes (P < 0.05) compared with control. The sections of infected group degeneration and necrosis of hepatocytes, with picknotic nuclei of some hepatocytes. The section of (25mg/kg) phytase group shows show thickening wall of some central veins. The sections of (50mg/kg) phytase group show no difference between this group and control group.

One of complementary therapy that can control blood pressure was walking exercise. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of walking exercis e on blood pressure among the elderly with hypertension in a nursing home. Method: The research applied Pre-experimental type of pre-test and post-test without a control group. There were totally 32 elderly selected by purposive sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The tools used were sphygmomanometer aneroid type and stethoscope. Walking exercise was given at 3 times a week with 30 minutes per session. Data analysis was used paired t-test. Results: The results show that there was a significant effect of walking exercise to reduce blood pressure among the elderly with hypertension with a p value of 0,000 (p <0.05). Mean systolic 10,938, SD 4,655 and mean diastolic 6,563, SD 4,826. Conclusion: There are differences in blood pressure before and after walking exercise.

Objective: This study aims to determine the level of fanaticism of football supporters in the BARLINGMASCAKEB region (Banjarnegara, Purbalingga, Banyumas, Cilacap, and Kebumen); secondly, analyzing the behavior of football supporters using the perspective of mass psychology. Method: The research method used is a combination of quantitative research and qualitative research. Quantitative research was conducted to measure the level of fanaticism and aggressiveness of football s upporters by using a questionnaire. The respondents were supporters of football clubs in the BARLINGMASCAKEB region with an age range of 17-30 years using the Random Sampling technique. The research instrument used a questionnaire about fanaticism and aggressiveness in sports provided online to research respondents—data analysis using correlation techniques with the guidance of SPSS applications. Qualitative research was conducted to analyze football supporters' behavior by using a literature review with mass psychology as a theoretical framework. : Results: The results showed that football supporters in the BARLINGMASCAKEB region had a high level of fanaticism and aggressiveness. A person's personality can change when in a crowd because of group conformity and adrenaline-triggered biological factors. This condition triggers aggressive actions and involvement in destructive anarchist actions. The aggressive behavior of football supporters also impacted the high level of unrest and the potential for disunity among football supporters.","PeriodicalId":7958,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Tropical Medicine and Public Health","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89335035","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}

The problem of this research is the lack of ability of children in carrying out the classification activities in Public Elementary School 12 Api-api Bayang subdistrict is likely caused by the ability of the basic mobility of non-locomotor, the students have less discipline in following the study of the classification. Method: The instruments used are MABC-2 (Movement Assessment Battery for Children Age Band 2) namely, Placing Pegs (Placing Stakes), Threading Lace (cremated lace), Drawing Trail, Catching with two hand s, Throwing beanbag onto the mat (throwing bead pads), One board balance (one balance board), Walking heel to toe forward (walking with fingertip step touching heel), Hooping on mats (jumping step above the mattress). This type of research is descriptive, implemented from May to July 2019. The population of this research is a student of UPT State Elementary School 12 Api-api which amounted to 130 students, with a sampling of research is purposive random sampling means sample withdrawal according to the requirement of 32 male students consisting of Grade 2 and Grade 3. Results: Analysis of data on the results of the study found that from 32 respondents to UPT Public Elementary School 12Api-api, Manual test section Dexterity (dexterity) obtained on average (74.3%) By medium category, while in the test section Aiming & Catching (aiming and throwing) was obtained on average (52.4%) medium category, as well as in the balance test section at the average gain (47.7%) medium category, while the results of non-locomotor motion overall can be average (62.0%) medium category.
