The aim of this work was to gain a comprehensive understanding of the public's awareness, perceptions, and knowledge regarding the potential advantages and disadvantages associated with eating fish in Sibiti. The main source of animal protein in Sibiti is games, but logging societies have led to a shortage of local meat and low fish production. To improve animal protein supply, local fishing can be developed to increase fish production. Fish are rich in essential nutrients and have a reduced risk of diseases. The investigation took place in Sibiti, the capital of the Lékoumou department in the southwest of the Republic of Congo. A total of 100 people were interviewed, with data collected through in-person surveys. The majority of respondents, aged 26-45, considered fish nutritious but overlooked health benefits like reducing heart disease, cancer, and life expectancy. They were unaware of vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acid intake, and potential dangers like PCBs, heavy metals, and parasites. The effects of certain constituents and contaminants were not well understood. The Lékoumou department should be educated on the benefits and risks of fish consumption, as this knowledge promotes safe consumption. However, excessive consumption can pose health risks, and benefits depend on factors like frequency, species, processing methods, education, and income.
这项工作的目的是全面了解公众对在锡比提吃鱼的潜在利弊的认识、看法和知识。锡比提动物蛋白的主要来源是野味,但伐木社会导致当地肉类短缺,鱼类产量低。为改善动物蛋白供应,可发展当地渔业,增加鱼类产量。鱼类富含人体必需的营养成分,并能降低患病风险。调查在刚果共和国西南部莱库穆省首府锡比蒂进行。共访问了 100 人,通过当面调查收集数据。大多数受访者年龄在 26-45 岁之间,他们认为鱼营养丰富,但忽视了鱼对健康的益处,如减少心脏病、癌症和延长寿命。他们不知道维生素 D 和欧米加-3 脂肪酸的摄入量,也不知道多氯联苯、重金属和寄生虫等潜在危险。对某些成分和污染物的影响也不甚了解。莱库穆省应该了解食用鱼类的益处和风险,因为这些知识可以促进安全食用。不过,过量食用会对健康造成危害,其益处取决于食用频率、种类、加工方法、教育程度和收入等因素。

Climate risk assessment has emerged as a critical component in the sustainability efforts of petroleum operations, given the increasing frequency and severity of climate-related events. This paper provides a comprehensive review of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices employed in the United States and Africa to enhance sustainable resilience in the face of climate risks within the petroleum industry. In the United States, where stringent environmental regulations and public scrutiny prevail, petroleum companies have adopted a range of CSR practices to assess and mitigate climate risks. These practices encompass comprehensive environmental impact assessments, carbon footprint reduction initiatives, and the integration of renewable energy sources into their operations. The paper explores how these CSR practices contribute to the overall resilience of petroleum operations in the United States. In contrast, Africa presents a diverse landscape with varying levels of regulatory frameworks and industrial practices. The paper delves into the unique challenges and opportunities faced by petroleum operations on the African continent in managing climate risks. It highlights the role of CSR practices in promoting sustainable development, community engagement, and ecosystem conservation as integral components of climate risk resilience. The review emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to climate risk assessment, considering both the environmental and social dimensions of petroleum operations. It sheds light on the need for collaboration between industry stakeholders, governments, and local communities to develop effective CSR strategies that enhance resilience while fostering sustainable practices. By synthesizing insights from both the United States and Africa, this paper contributes to the global discourse on climate risk management in the petroleum industry. It underscores the significance of CSR practices as instrumental tools for achieving sustainable resilience and fostering a harmonious coexistence between petroleum operations and the environment in diverse geopolitical contexts.

Arsenic occurs naturally in high concentrations in groundwater in various countries and is extremely toxic in its inorganic state. The primary threat to public health arises from the contamination of drinking water, food preparation, and irrigation of crops. Prolonged exposure to arsenic through water and food consumption is linked to cancer, skin lesions, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Additionally, early-life exposure may negatively impact cognitive development and increase mortality in young adults. The crucial measure in affected communities is preventing further arsenic exposure by ensuring a safe water supply. Arsenic is a naturally occurring element widely distributed in the environment air, water, and land. Elevated exposure occurs through contaminated water, food, industrial processes, and tobacco consumption, leading to chronic arsenic poisoning with characteristic effects such as skin lesions and cancer.

Introduction: Parity and a history of hypertension are some of the highest risk factors for severe preeclampsia, especially early onset. The severity of recurrent preeclampsia will increase compared to preeclampsia in the first pregnancy. Although there is a correlation between chronic hypertension and unfavorable pregnancy outcomes, several case-control studies have consistently shown that chronic hypertension is the most often acknowledged risk factor for adverse events affecting both the mother and the fetus. Women with the risk factors above can potentially fall into bad conditions, so close monitoring must be carried out. Modified Early Obstetric Warning System (MEOWS) is used for early detection, care, treatment, and referral of changes in obstetric patient parameters that are leading to worsening. Objective: Analyze the relationship between parity and history of hypertension with MEOWS scores in early-onset severe preeclampsia patients. Methods: A cross-sectional approach was used in this study by involving 63 patients. The population was early-onset severe preeclampsia patients treated at Dr. Soetomo Regional Public Hospital Surabaya Indonesia 2022; the sampling technique used was total sampling. This data was collected using secondary data from medical records and analyzed statistically using bivariate test, specifically the chi-square test using SPSS software. Results: The majority of patients were of reproductive age (73%), the gestational age was predominantly in the very preterm (28-<32 weeks) category (49.2%), the most obstetric status was multigravida (77.8 ), and most patients had no history of hypertension (66.7%). The average MEOWS score in early-onset PEB patients was 8.11. Parity vs MEOWS score (p>0.05), while the history of hypertension vs MEOWS score (p<0.05). Conclusion: Parity and MEOWS score did not have a significant relationship, while the history of hypertension had a significant relationship with MEOWS score.

Introduction: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a disease that may cause mortality and shows with many clinical symptoms in the nose, ear, eyes, and nervous system. This study aimed to help clinical workers decide which patient with these symptoms must be referred or not. Methods: Primary data from the ENT Clinic of Prof. Dr. dr. I.G.N.G Ngoerah was used from January 2022 to March 2022. Descriptive analysis and logistic regression were employed to describe the relationship between patients’ demographic, clinical symptoms with the diagnosis of NPC from histopathology examination. Results: There are 40 patients in this study, with 22 patients have positive results of NPC, and 18 patients with negative results of NPC. Nasal mass, nasal symptoms and fulfillment of Digby’s score are the most related to NPC’s positive biopsy results (OR: 10, p=0.04; OR: 37. p=0,02; OR: 4.5, p=0,038 respectively). Conclusion: NPC has wide variety of symptoms, and it must be kept in mind that these symptoms can be NPC and must consider to refer to ENT-HNS Specialist.

I.G.N.G Ngoerah was used from January 2022 to March 2022. Descriptive analysis and logistic regression were employed to describe the relationship between patients’ demographic, clinical symptoms with the diagnosis of NPC from histopathology examination. Results: There are 40 patients in this study, with 22 patients have positive results of NPC, and 18 patients with negative results of NPC. Nasal mass, nasal symptoms and fulfillment of Digby’s score are the most related to NPC’s positive biopsy results (OR: 10, p=0.04; OR: 37. p=0,02; OR: 4.5, p=0,038 respectively).

Background: Poor sanitation can likely contaminate drinking water, leading to the development of cholera and other deadly diseases. The number of people who defecate in the open worldwide has fallen by more than two-thirds over the past two decades. Data from the Community Health Development Division of the Southeast Sulawesi Health Office reports that the ODF level in Southeast Sulawesi as of today shows that it is already 59 percent of the total target of 60 percent. So efforts are needed in North Buton Regency to achieve the target of stopping open defecation that has been launched by the Indonesian government. Objective: The aim of this research is to examine defecation habits and places where feces are distributed in North Buton Regency. Methods: This type of research is quantitative descriptive, with a survey approach. The sample in this study was 3,640 houses. Each village/kelurahan is represented by 40 households taken using a simple random sampling technique. Results: The majority of respondents disposed of feces in private latrines, namely 2,769 (76.1%), while the least was defecation in ditches and ditches around people's houses, namely 2 (0.1%), and the majority of houses collected/distributed feces in dug holes. namely 2,369 (65.08%), while the least is accommodated/distributed directly in the river/lake/beach/sea, are15 (0.41%). Conclusion: Most people in North Buton Regency defecate in private latrines, and the resulting feces are channeled/discarded into dug holes in the ground.
