Pemerintah Indonesia sudah melakukan intervensi untuk menekan penyebaran virus Covid-19 yang semakin masif. Namun, bila setengah dari masyarakat tidak melakukan social/physical distancing maka jumlah kasus dan kematian akan terus bertambah. Propinsi Kepulauan Riau terdiri atas 7 kabupaten/kota kepulauan yang berbatasan langsung dengan negara tetangga Singapura, Malaysia dan Vietnam. Berdasarkan hal tersebut perlu dilakukan studi tentang kepatuhan masyarakat Propinsi Kepulauan Riau untuk melaksanakan social/physical distancing dalam upaya mencegah penyebaran virus Covid-19 sebagai Pintu Gerbang Negara Republik Indonesia. Jenis penelitian yang dilakukan adalah penelitian kuantitatif dengan metode survei. Instrumen dalam penelitian ini adalah kuesioner online dengan menggunakan google form. Perhitungan besar sampel dilakukan menggunakan rumus survei Lemeshow dengan jumlah populasi 970.132 jiwa sesuai dengan data jumlah usia produktif, anticipated population proportion 50% dan confident interval 95%. Besar sampel yang diperlukan adalah sebanyak 384 jiwa. Perhitungan besar sampel untuk masing-masing kabupaten/kota dihitung dengan proportional to size (PPS). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada 60% masyarakat yang tidak patuh dan 40% masyarakat yang patuh untuk melaksanakan social/physical distancing di Propinsi Kepulauan Riau. Responden didominasi oleh masyarakat yang tinggal di Kota Tanjungpinang (40,9%) dan Kota Batam (26,7%). Pendidikan responden paling banyak berasal dari perguruan tinggi (51,7%). Adapun akses informasi tentang covid-19 diperoleh paling banyak berasal dari media sosial (93,5%). Masih banyak masyarakat yang tidak patuh terhadap himbauan pemerintah untuk melaksanakan social/physical distancing. Dibutuhkan langkah tegas dari pemerintah khususnya pemerintah Propinsi Kepulauan Riau. Hal ini dimaknai bukan himbauan lagi tapi perintah yang harus dilaksanakan oleh segenap masyarakat Propinsi kepulauan Riau.

Diarrhea is a condition characterized by changes in the consistency of stool from softening to melting, and at least three times a day. Diarrhea is still a public health problem in developing countries such as Indonesia, because of its high morbidity and mortality. Data on diarrhea patients from the Kampung Bugis Health Center for 2017 diarrhea patients as many as 672 in 2016 amounted to 468. The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between personal hygiene factors to the incidence of diarrhea in the coastal area of Bugis, Tanjungpinang City. The method of this study was an analytical survey with Cross-Sectional design. The location of the research is the people who live in the Coastal Areas of Bugis Village, Tanjungpinang City. A sample of 84 people (case and control), taken by consecutive sampling. Data were analyzed using the chisquare test. The results showed that there was a relationship between latrine use behavior (OR=4.667 95% CI 1.249-17439; p=0.029); handwashing with soap (OR=4.800; 95%CI 1.251-18.421; p=0.028). Waste management (OR=4.875; 95%CI 1.274-18.649; p=0.001) with the incidence of diarrhea in the coastal area of Kampung Bugis, Tanjungpinang City. The variable most related to the incidence of diarrhea in the coastal area of Kampung Bugis in Tanjung Pinang City is a waste management facility. The prediction accuracy of the independent variable is 74%. It is recommended that the Puskesmas collaborate across sectors to improve clean behavior and be equipped with the habit of washing hands with soap.

Plants that are potential sources of plant insecticides, one of which is soursop. The active component of soursop seeds is acetogenin, which is considered to be larvicidal, and the azitogenin it contains is also an insecticide, acaricide, antiparasitic, and bactericidal agent. Another alternative to plants that can be used as herbal insecticides, besides soursop fruit seeds, is the clove leaf, which contains essential oil chemicals such as eugenol and other ingredients traditionally used to control cockroaches. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of soursop seed and clove leaf extract as a bioinsecticide in the control of vector cockroaches. This type of study is a real experiment with a research sample of 288 cockroaches. The results of this study showed that the extract of soursop seeds and clove leaves at a concentration of 80% caused the death of 14 cockroaches. The effectiveness level of soursop seed extract and clove leaves in the fight against domestic cockroaches is 80% concentration.
