The thalassemia trait is an asymptomatic thalassemia syndrome that increases the risk of developing a more severe condition. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of the thalassemia trait among Sabah and Sarawak students enrolled in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Universiti Teknologi MARA, UiTM Selangor. The study was carried out over 3 months following approval from the ethics and research committees of Universiti Teknologi MARA, UiTM Shah Alam. A universal sampling method was used where the blood samples were collected from the 40 students, 16 from Sabah and 24 from Sarawak, of various ethnicities. All subjects were asked to fill out consent forms. A volunteer medical laboratory staff member assisted in taking whole blood samples from the subjects’ venous blood. The blood was then collected in a 3 mL EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) tube and was tested for thalassemia using a Full Blood Count (FBC) and a Full Blood Picture (FBP), as well as a Mentzer Index (MI) calculation, gel electrophoresis, and an H-inclusion test. In conclusion, the prevalence of the thalassemia trait is 7.5% (3) out of 40 volunteers among students from Sabah and Sarawak in the Faculty of Health Sciences at UiTM Selangor.

Job satisfaction is linked to job performance in the workplace, and in the nursing context, it is critical in influencing productivity and patient care quality. The study adapts Herzberg's Theory to determine factors contributing to job satisfaction among nurses working at tertiary hospitals in Klang Valley. A cross-sectional study was conducted, and it involved 403 nurses who work in two public hospitals in Klang Valley. Samples were selected using simple random sampling, and data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire of two parts. Part A contained sociodemographic characteristics, and Part B measured job satisfaction. Descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, t-test, ANOVA, and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) were used. Results of bivariate analyses indicate significant differences in job satisfaction levels concerning age, marital status, year of work experience, and income levels (p < 0.05). When analysed using multiple linear regression, only work experience significantly predicted job satisfaction (p < 0.05). This research expands on empirical findings on nurses’ job satisfaction. In addition, this study is expected to benefit health institutions by providing information to assist policymakers in increasing the participation of nurses in the local workforce.

Infants who are breastfed enjoy numerous health advantages. Nevertheless, its benefits for women with a history of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) are frequently disregarded. There are currently few guidelines for GDM to advocate breastfeeding because there is scant scientific data that does so. This review aims to explore breastfeeding duration and intensity among women with prior GDM over the past decade, explicitly observing its association with postnatal glycaemic control and diabetes incidence. A systematic search on lactation and GDM studies published in the Cochrane Library, Medline, Science Direct, and Scopus databases between 2010 to 2021 was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). We included English publications relevant to GDM and breastfeeding and the incidence of postnatal diabetes. Nine articles were included in the final data set. Women with GDM seemed to have a shorter breastfeeding duration but had a higher breastfeeding rate during the early postnatal period. Breastfeeding duration and intensity among women with prior GDM did have a protective effect against the risk of getting postnatal diabetes. The association is more pronounced with higher breastfeeding intensity and longer breastfeeding duration. These findings would assist the healthcare team in developing suitable breastfeeding interventions for optimal prevention among women with prior GDM to reduce the risk of postnatal diabetes.

Depression frequently has an onset during university years and students that develop depression during university life may be influenced by locus of control. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of depression among students of health sciences in UiTM Puncak Alam and the association between locus of control and depression. A cross-sectional study was done on 315 health sciences students via convenience sampling. Data were obtained through an online questionnaire using CES-D and MHLC-A. The result showed that the prevalence of symptoms of depression among health sciences students was high (42.9%). A negative association was found between depression and the internal locus of control, IHLC (rs = -0.558, p < 0.001), while a positive association was found between depression and both the external locus of control, PHLC (rs = 0.236, p < 0.001) and CHLC (rs = 0.470, p < 0.001). Socio-demographic characteristics that were significantly associated with depression are gender (p = 0.044), CGPA (p = 0.006), living arrangement (p = 0.003), parent’s marital status (p = 0.002) and family income (p = 0.023), while socio-demographic characteristics that were significantly associated with locus of control is CGPA (p = 0.001), living arrangement (p = 0.001) and parent’s marital status (p = 0.004). Locus of control can be considered one of the significant variables when addressing depression among students. The implication of this study for occupational therapy practice is to plan for prevention and develop interventions to assist students in adapting and facing challenging situations.

In line with the increase of complexity in environmental problems due to overexploitation, it is necessary to care for the environmental program. Ecological literacy education needs to be realised in the programs of environmental care. One of the programs carried out by the government of the Republic of Indonesia to foster a sense of love for the environment for students is the Adiwiyata School program. This study aims to determine the importance of the Adiwiyata school program in an effort to increase students’ ecological literacy. The method used in this research is qualitative descriptive with interview, observation and documentation as data collection techniques. The informants involved in this study are school stakeholders who have implemented national-level Adiwiyata schools, including principals, teachers, parents of students, students, officials of the environmental agency and officials of the education office. Results of the research show that the Adiwiyata school program is carried out in several dimensions: Integration of environmentally friendly behaviour in learning, carrying out environmentally friendly actions in the community around the school, establishing cooperation and communication networks, conducting campaigns and publications on environmentally friendly behaviour, forming and empowering Adiwiyata cadres.

Foot and mouth disease is vital in Malaysia with increasing yearly cases. Quantitative information about the impact of the disease on the cattle in the country, however, is scarce. This study quantitatively assesses the direct economic impacts of foot and mouth disease outbreaks on cattle production in Peninsular Malaysia. The impacts were assessed based on the data obtained from case outbreaks of cattle in 2017 and 2018. Data were collected using a questionnaire administered to 349 cattle farmers in six states of Peninsular Malaysia from April to October 2018. Collected data were analyzed using a t-test (i.e., to compare between gender within the age of breed) and one-way ANOVA (i.e., to compare between breeds and between ages within the breed). Results demonstrate that the breed of Limousine, Charolaise and Kedah-Kelantan have been proven affected due to the FMD outbreak. The economic losses of foot and mouth disease outbreaks due to mortality and weight loss reached the figure of MYR390.24 per herd. To reduce the impact of the loss of cattle production and achieve Malaysia food security target, it is vital for the government to surveillance and eradicate the FMD outbreak.

Proteins in commercial quality animal feed are one of its most important components and one of the costliest. Due to high costs and fluctuating production, some protein sources cannot satiate the increasing demand from fish feed manufacturers. Fish nutrition has been accorded particular focus with less costly feedstuff in aqua feed, given extra weightage. There has been increasing attention in recent years on finding methods to recycle the by-products of feed manufacturing. Due to its vital amino acid content and high protein composition, soybean by-product (SBP), a renewable resource, is expected to be a viable raw material option for replacing a fish meal or as a supplement. This review intends to cover the information regarding SBP associated with fermentation and probiotics used in the aquaculture industry potentially as an alternative to replacing FM.

This research aims to design a model of community wisdom in flood disaster mitigation in Padang City - Indonesia, based on the floor height of the house, drainage conditions, and the wisdom of working together against flood. This research uses a quantitative approach based on the Slovin formula. The results of this research are: (1) The physical wisdom carried out by the community is to increase the floor of the house to more than 65 cm as much as 10%; (2) 60% of the community understands not to throw garbage into the sewer and 23% of the community understands to take care of the drainage for the smooth flow of water; and (3) social wisdom 45% of the people closed waterways into their homes and housing complexes before the flood, 35% of the people who always worked together. From the results of the research, it was not found that there was an effort to make infiltration bio-pure holes and infiltration wells as required in PERDA No. 3/2019 Paragraph 7 which reads, “in the context of flood control every residential complex, industry, business/service area must make bio-pure holes and infiltration wells”.

Starch is an important non-protein energy source in the practical diets for fish and its optimal inclusion can maximise the use of dietary protein for growth. In the present study, a feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of protein sparing with carbohydrates on growth and diet digestibility in hybrid grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × E. lanceolatus). Diets were formulated with lowered levels of protein (50% to 45% and 40%) and increased levels of starch (20% to 25% and 30%). At the end of the feeding trial, growth performance and body indices (except for viscerosomatic index) were not significantly influenced (P > 0.05) by the dietary treatments. In contrast, the whole-body proximate fish and liver compositions depended on the test diets. The dietary starch influences the haematological parameters, even though no clear trend was observed. Meanwhile, the apparent digestibility coefficient of protein and lipid was considered high in all experimental diets. Overall, the diet with protein level lowered to 45% and starch level increased to 30% performed as well as the control diet, indicating some ability of hybrid grouper to utilise sago starch as an energy source to spare protein.
淀粉是鱼类实际饲料中重要的非蛋白质能量来源,其最佳添加可最大限度地利用饲料蛋白质促进生长。本试验旨在研究碳水化合物保留蛋白质对杂交石斑鱼(Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × E. lanceolatus)生长和饲料消化率的影响。饲粮中蛋白质含量降低(50%至45%和40%),淀粉含量增加(20%至25%和30%)。饲喂试验结束时,生长性能和体指数(除内脏体指数外)均未受显著影响(P >0.05)。相比之下,整个鱼和肝脏的近似组成取决于试验饲料。膳食淀粉对血液学参数有影响,但没有明显的变化趋势。同时,所有试验饲粮中蛋白质和脂肪的表观消化系数均较高。总体而言,将蛋白质水平降低至45%,将淀粉水平提高至30%的杂交石斑鱼的表现与对照饲料相同,表明杂交石斑鱼有一定的能力利用西米淀粉作为能量来源来节省蛋白质。

Microplastic pollution is a serious problem and harms aquatic ecosystems, especially for organisms that are filter feeders. This research aimed to analyse the concentration of microplastics contained in epibionts attached to green mussels (Perna viridis) in the water of Lae-Lae Island, Makassar. Sampling was conducted using the purposive random sampling method, to obtain 110 green mussels which were divided into three groups of shell length: small (2.42-4.40 cm), medium (4.41-8.01 cm), large (8.02- 14.62 cm) groups. In addition, based on the microplastic content, the epibionts associated with green mussels were also divided into four groups, namely (1) microplastics in green mussels with epibiont attached, (2) microplastic in green mussels without epibiont attached, (3) microplastics in epibiont attached to green mussels, (4) microplastics in green mussels and epibiont. Microplastic particles were observed using a stereo microscope with Image J Software. The result depicted that the microplastics were fibres, fragments, and films with blue as the dominant colour. The size of microplastics ranged from 0.03-4.72 mm. The results showed no significant differences in the concentration of microplastics of epibionts at different green mussel shell lengths (p > 0,05). However, there was a statistically significant difference in the concentration of microplastics in epibionts with their host, green mussels, in which the concentration of microplastics in epibionts was greater than that in green mussels (p > 0.05). This study suggested that the epibionts and the green mussels played a role in reducing microplastic in waters.
