<p style="text-align: justify;">Papaya plants contain many substances called papain, papain protease effect can kill larvae of Aedes aegypti. This study aimed to determine the effect of papaya leaves extracts (Carica papaya Linn) against Aedes aegypti larvae mortality. The research method was a quasi-experimental research design with Non-Equivalent Control Group. The concentration levels were 6.25%, 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 100%, and controls (CMC-Na) with 4 times replication. The Probit Analysis test results showed Lethal concentration (LC50) of papaya leaves extract (Carica papaya Linn) against Aedes aegypti larvae mortality was to 24.46% and the effective time is 22 hours. It is concluded that any different concentrations of papaya (Carica papaya Linn) leaves extract have effect on Aedes aegypti larvae mortality (p <0.05), the time depth of papaya leaves extract have effect on Aedes aegypti larvae mortality (p <0.05), the average number of Aedes aegypti larvae mortality for 24-hours in each concentration are concentration of 6.25% as much as 4.75 larvae, 12.5% concentration as much as 8 larvae, a concentration of 25% as much as 12 larvae, 50% concentration of 14.5 larvae, concentration 100% as much as 19 larvae and control as much as 1.25 larvae. The recommended suggestion is to conduct a phytochemical test to determine the active substances contained in papaya (Carica papaya Linn) leaves extract and to know the concentration of active substances in the extract.

Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD) atau Dengue Haemorrahagic Fever (DHF) merupakan salah satu dari beberapa penyakit menular yang menjadi masalah kesehatan di dunia, terutama negara yang berkembang. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui perbedaan indeks jentik dan perilaku Pemberantasan Sarang Nyamuk (PSN) di daerah endemis dan daerah sporadis DBD di Kota Banjarbaru. Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan adalah cross sectional study menggunakan teknik simple random sampling dengan sampel berjumlah 100 responden. Instrumen penelitian menggunakan kuesioner dan lembar observasi. Hasil analisis menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan antara pengetahuan pemberantasan sarang nyamuk dengan kejadian DBD pada individu/keluarga di daerah endemis (p-value = 0,088) dan di daerah sporadis (p-value = 1,000). Tidak ada hubungan antara sikap pemberantasan sarang nyamuk dengan kejadian DBD pada individu/keluarga daerah endemis (p-value = 0,271). Tidak ada hubungan antara tindakan pemberantasan sarang nyamuk dengan kejadian DBD pada individu/keluarga di daerah endemis (p-value = 0,710) dan (p-value = 0,230) di daerah sporadis. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa pengetahuan, sikap dan tindakan seseorang yang baik akan mencegah terjadinya DBD pada individu/keluarga.

<p style="text-align: justify;">One of the food hygiene and sanitation efforts that must be implemented by the Nutrition Installation is to maintain the hygiene quality of tableware consider the equipment as a source of food contaminants. The purpose of this research was to know the effectiveness of washing the tableware method to decrease the bacterial number. The research method uses true experimental design. The research design used was posttest only control group design and sampling technique was simple random. Instruments in the research is a set of tools for experiment, sampling, and examination. The independent variable in this research is washing method on the tableware using method A, B, and C while the dependent variable is the number of a bacteria of tableware. The results showed that the number of tableware bacteria in Sambang Lihum Psychiatric Hospital exceeded of the standard/not qualified, except on washing method A which fulfilled the requirement that is under 100 colony/cm2 of tool surface. The conclusion of this research is there is a significant difference to the three washing methods which is shown with the p-value of 0,027. Need to do further research on the washing process by adding sterilization process
