AbstrakData tentang faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan sindrom metabolik pada kelompok eksekutif di Indonesia yang diperlukan untuk upaya pencegahan penyakit kardiovaskular sangat terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui prevalensi dan determinan sindrom metabolik pada kelompok eksekutif. Penelitian dilakukan di Jakarta dan sekitarnya dengan menggunakan rancangan cross sectional. Jumlah responden yaitu 220 orang eksekutif laki-laki dan 68 orang eksekutif wanita. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan pengukuran antropometri, analisis biokimia darah, analisis asupan makanan, pengukuran angka stres, dan pengukuran indeks aktivitas. Analisis regresi logistik ganda dilakukan untuk mengetahui hubungan beberapa independen variabel dengan dependen variabel. Analisis ini menghasilkan indeks massa tubuh (overweight, odds ratio (OR) = 5,54; obesitas, OR = 7,44) dan rasio total kolesterol/high density lipoprotein (HDL)-kolesterol (OR = 8,83) sebagai determinan sindrom metabolik pada kelompok eksekutif. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pemeriksaan profil lipid dan pengukuran antropometri sederhana yang teratur pada kelompok eksekutif penting dilakukan untuk mendeteksi risiko sindrom metabolik.Kata kunci: sindrom metabolik, kelompok eksekutif, antropometri Abstract Available datas on metabolic syndrome among Indonesian executives are limited, despite the fact of the importance of these data for cardiovaskular prevention. The objective of this study was to assess prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its associations between anthropometric measures, lipid profiles, blood pressure, nutrient intakes, and life style in executive group. A cross sectional study was undertaken in some factories in Jakarta, using multistage random sampling. The respondents were 287 executives, 219 male and 68 female. Data were collected through anthropometric measurements, biochemical blood analysis, nutrient intake, stress score, and activity index assessment. Multiple logistic regression analysis used to assess associations between independent variables and metabolic syndrome. This study showed that body mass index (overweight, odds ratio (OR) = 5,54; obesity, OR = 7,44) and ratio serum total cholesterol to high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol (OR = 8,83) were potential determinants of metabolic syndrome. This study shows the importance of routine check of lipid profile, blood pressure, and simple anthropometric assessment to detect the risk of metabolic syndrome in the elderly. Key words: metabolic syndrome, executive group, antropometric PendahuluanPenyakit utama pada kelompok usia dewasa di Indonesia adalah penyakit tulang dan sendi, kardiovaskular, infeksi saluran pernapasan, dan gangguan metabolisme. Data di rumah sakit dan masyarakat menunjukkan penyakit kardiovaskular yang terdiri dari penyakit jantung koroner, penyakit jantung hipertensi, dan stroke adalah penyebab utama kematian pada kelompok usia dewasa. 1 Sindrom metabolik adalah suatu sindrom yang terdiri dari sekumpulan gejala meliputi peningkatan ukuran lingkar pinggang...

Problem According to the International Health Regulations (IHR), countries need to strengthen core capacity for disease surveillance and response systems. Many countries are establishing or enhancing their field epidemiology training programmes (FETPs) to meet human resource needs but face challenges in sustainability and training quality. Indonesia is facing these challenges, which include limited resources for field training and limited coordination in a newly decentralized health system. Approach A national FETP workplan was developed based on an evaluation of the existing programme and projected human resource needs. A Ministry of Health Secretariat linking universities, national and international partners was established to oversee revision and implementation of the FETP. Local setting The FETP is integrated into the curriculum of Indonesian universities and field training is conducted in district and provincial health offices under the coordination of the universities and the FETP Secretariat. Relevant changes The FETP was included in the Ministry of Health workforce development strategy through governmental decree. Curricula have been enhanced and field placements strengthened to provide trainees with better learning experiences. To improve sustainability of the FETP, links were established with the Indonesian Epidemiologists' Association, local governments and donors to cultivate future FETP champions and maintain funding. Courses, competitions and discussion forums were established for field supervisors and alumni. These changes have increased the geographic distribution of students, intersectoral and international participation and the quality of student performance. Lessons learnt The main lesson learnt is that linkages with universities, ministries and international agencies such as the World Health Organization are critical for building a sustainable high-quality programme. The most critical factors were development of trusting relationships and clear definitions of the responsibilities of each stakeholder.Une traduction en français de ce résumé figure à la fin de l'article.

D–A−π–A dyes differ from the traditional D−π–A framework having several merits in dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) applications. With regard to D−π–A dyes, D–A−π–A dyes red-shift absorption spectra and show particular photostability. Nevertheless, the effects of internal acceptor on the charge transfer (CT) probability are unclear. We employed density functional theory (DFT), time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT), and TD-DFT molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the effects of internal acceptor on the photophysical properties of D–A−π–A dyes on DSSCs. Our calculations show the absorption bands of D–A−π–A dyes with strong electron-withdrawing internal acceptors exhibiting significant characteristics of dual CT; the excited electron density is transferred to the internal and terminal acceptors simultaneously. Particularly, the internal acceptor traps a significant amount of electron density upon photoexcitation. The TD-DFT MD simulations at 300 K show that only a small amount of excited electron density is pushing and pulling between the internal acceptor and terminal acceptor moieties; the thermal energy is not high enough to drive the electron density from the internal acceptor to the terminal acceptor. Our study reveals the nature of CT bands of D–A−π–A dyes providing a theoretical basis for further rational engineering.
