Menurut World Health Organization (WHO) memperkirakan insidens Infeksi Saluran Pernapasan Akut (ISPA) di negara berkembang dengan angka kematian balita di atas 40 per 1000 kelahiran hidup. Asap rokok sebagai salah satu resiko timbulnya ISPA merupakan masalah yang sangat sulit untuk di minimalisir. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui hubungan kebiasaan merokok di dalam rumah dengan kejadian ISPA pada anak balita 0-5 tahun di Puskesmas Bukit Sangkal Palembang tahun 2019. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kuantitatif dengan pendekatan analitik cross sectional. Populasi semua ibu yang membawa anak usia 0-5 tahun ke Puskesmas Bukit Sangkal Palembang dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 30 responden. Hasil penelitian didapatkan distribusi frekuensi responden yang dinyatakan menderita ISPA sebanyak 11 responden (36,7%) dan responden yang anggota keluarganya merokok sebanyak 17 responden (56,7%). Hasil uji statistik didapatkan ada hubungan yang bermakna antara kebiasaan merokok dengan kejadian ISPA pada balita di Puskesmas Bukit Sangkal Palembang Tahun 2019 dengan p value = 0,007 < α (0,05) dan nilai OR = 17,143. Saran penelitian diharapkan pihak puskesmas dapat meningkatkan penyuluhan kesehatan secara rutin kepada masyarakat tentang bagaimana cara mencegah dan menanggulangi penyakit ISPA di masyarakat.

Pokdakan Maju Bersama Mesuji, which is in Sungai Badak Village, Mesuji District, Mesuji District, Lampung, is a group of economically productive people and potential entrepreneurs with fish farming activities in the form of growing consumption fish and local fish, especially snakehead fish. The difficult problems in the development of snakehead culture in Sungai Badak village, Mesuji Regency, are the limited availability of seeds and the slow growth of fish. These cause the business to be carried out on-off or suffer losses. This community service aims to increase the knowledge and skills of pokdakan members in producing continuous and quality snakehead seeds independently and stimulate job creation. This activity was carried out through Focus Group Discussions, and organizing counseling and training on snakehead fish hatchery technology and increasing the growth of snakehead fish with the application of recombinant growth hormone. Participants were given a written test to measure how successful the technology transfer is. The results obtained from this activity were that the knowledge and skills of the trainees increased from an average score of 58 to 85 in hatchery technology transfer (32%) and increased from an average score of 35 to 66 in the transfer of recombinant growth hormone application technology (31%) (scale 0- 100). The increase in the value of these participants is presumably because most of the participants are fish cultivators who are used to carrying out aquaculture activities but do not know the basics. So that with this activity it is hoped that it can improve the economy of cultivator families and make Mesuji Regency a fish center and support inclusive and sustainable economic growth. In general, the two technology transfers in this activity increased the percentage of participants' knowledge and skills by 31.5% and this activity was successful.

Selection of medical students requires both cognitive and soft skills assessment. Shalamar Medical and Dental College (SMDC) has been using on-campus multiple mini interviews to assess the latter but due to Covid-19 pandemic it became imperative that an alternative be found. The aim of this communication is to share the process SMDC went through to plan, design, and ultimately conduct WhatsApp-based multiple mini interviews (wMMI) in a low risk method as an entry criteria for undergraduate medical students. The process involved designing scenarios appropriate for online interviews, training the faculty members regarding conducting MMI as well as the use of technology, and designing an online webpage for enrolling, scheduling and assessing candidates. We were able to successfully complete wMMI process for 522 candidates within one week in a low risk setting using WhatsApp as communication medium with strong IT and administrative support.

Objective: To evaluate the awareness of individuals about coronavirus disease-2019 disease and vaccines during the pandemic. Method: The descriptive, cross-sectional survey-based study was conducted at family health centres in the Bursa province between of Turkey from July 1 to 7, 2021. The face-to-face survey of registered individuals had 20 items that measured coronavirus disease-2019 and vaccines. The scale was named the Coronavirus Disease-2019 and Vaccine Awareness level. It was carried out by family physicians using an online weblink. The Cronbach alpha coefficient was 0.87. Data was analysed using SPSS 25. Results: Of the 228 subjects, 129(56.6%) were males and 99(43.4%) were females. The overall mean age was 27.82±10.28 years. Awareness levels were high with a mean value of 2.41±0.31. Female participants were more aware than males (p=0.04) and those with monthly income between 2000-10000 Turkish lira had lower awareness level compared to other income groups (p=0.03). Marital status (p=0.32), education level (p=0.49) comorbidities (p=0.23), regular drug usage (p=0.13) and exercise status (p=0.24) did not affect the awareness levels. Non-smokers were more aware than the smokers (p=0.01). Conclusion: The level of awareness about coronavirus disease-2019 and its vaccine was higher in the female gender and non-smokers, it was lower in the middle-income group.
