"[ABSTRAKLatar belakang : Pekerja yang bekerja di lingkungan panas mempunyai resiko tinggi mengalami gangguan ginjal akibat dehidrasi kronis. Gangguan ginjal dapat dicegah jika kelainan dapat dideteksi dan diterapi sejak awal dimana resiko kesakitan dan kematian juga akan berkurang. Pemeriksaan yang biasa dilakukan dalam praktek sehari-hari pada saat ini adalah dengan kreatinin. Namun pemeriksaan kreatinin baru menunjukkan kelainan pada penurunan LFG lanjut. Cystatin C dikatakan bisa mendeteksi gangguan ginjal lebih awal sebelum kadar kreatinin meningkat sehingga dapat segera dilakukan tindakan pencegahan untuk menghindari kerusakan ginjal lebih lanjut. Metode penelitian:` Penelitian dilakukan dengan desain Cross sectional. Dilakukan pada 94 pekerja laki-laki yang dipilih secara random sampling. Data dikumpulkan dengan wawancara, pemeriksaan fisik, pemeriksaan laboratorium. Kadar cystatin c serum diukur dengan metode Immunonephelometri, kreatinin diukur dengan metode enzymatik, kemudian dihitung estimasi Laju Filtrasi Glomerulus berdasar Cystatin C dan kreatinin dengan metode CKD EPI. Hasil penelitian dilakukan analisa univariate dan bivariate. Hasil: Didapatkan prevalensi Gangguan Fungsi Ginjal dari Pemeriksaan Cystatin C pada Pekerja terpapar panas dengan Laju Filtrasi Glomerulus normal sebesar 17 %. Terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara usia dan gangguan ginjal (p=0,000) dengan OR 13,22. Terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara masa kerja dengan gangguan ginjal (p = 0,043) dengan OR 6,67. Kesimpulan: LFG dengan Cystatin C dapat mendeteksi lebih dini gangguan ginjal sebelum kreatininnya meningkat dengan prevalensi 17% sehingga dengan upaya promotif dan preventif yang dilakukan diharapkan dapat mencegah gangguan ginjal lebih lanjut.;

ABSTRACTBackground: Workers who work in hot environments have a high risk of having renal disorders due to chronic dehydration. Renal disorders can be prevented if the abnormality can be detected and treated early in the beginning where the risk of morbidity and mortality is lower, as well. The common test conducted in daily practice today is the creatinine clearance test. However, creatinine clearance test shows abnormalities only in an advance reduced GFR. Cystatin C is known to be able detecting renal disorders in early stage before the creatinine level increases so that precautions can be taken to prevent a more advance renal damage. Study Method: This study used a cross sectional design. It was conducted to 94 workers whom selected with random sampling. Data was collected by interview, physical examination, and laboratory tests. Serum level of Cystatin C was measured by the method of immunonephelometry. Creatinine was measured by enzymatic method and subsequently, Glomerular Filtration Rate was estimated based on cystatin and creatinine using CKD EPI method. Univariate and bivariate analysis was performed to the results. Result: The study suggest that there is prevalence of renal disorders based on Cystatin C test in heat-exposed workers with normal glomerular filtration rate by 17%. There is a significant association between age and renal disorder (p = 0,000) with OR 13.22. There is a significant relation between period of employment with renal disorder (p = 0,001) with OR 6.57. Conclusion: Cystatin-based GFR is able to detect renal disorder at early stage before the creatinine level increases with prevalence of 17% so that further renal damage is expected to be able prevented with promotion and prevention attempts.;Background: Workers who work in hot environments have a high risk of having renal disorders due to chronic dehydration.

"Hepatitis C merupakan penyakit infeksi yang dapat ditemukan di seluruh dunia, baik di negara maju maupun di negara berkembang. Sekitar 90-95% dari seluruh hepatitis pasca transfusi disebabkan oleh infeksi virus hepatitis C, sedangkan sebagian besar diantaranya cenderung asimptomatik. sehingga kadang-kadang tidak terdeteksi. Sekitar separuh dari penderita tersebut dalam perjalanan penyakitnya akan menjadi hepatitis kronis, dan 20% di antaranya berlanjut menjadi sirosis bahkan karsinoma hepatoseluler. Timbulnya hepatitis C pada transfusi tentunya akan memperburuk kondisi penderita. Di Indonesia, penggunaan darah dan komponennya dari tahun ke tahun semakin meningkat. Komplikasi utama dari transfusi adalah timbulnya hepatitis pasca transfusi. Pada penderita hemofilia/talasemia seringkali harus berulang kali menerima transfusi darah dan faktor pembekuan, sehingga mempunyai resiko tinggi untuk menderita hepatitis pasca transfusi. Begitu pula para penderita lain yang suatu waktu harus menerima transfusi darah, juga mempunyai resiko yang cukup besar untuk mendapat hepatitis pasca transfusi. Selain melalui transfusi darah, dilaporkan juga adanya berbagai Cara penularan secara parenteral yang juga sering mengakibatkan seseorang terinfeksi virus hepatitis C, antara lain melalui hemodialisa, transplantasi organ, melalui jarum suntik pada pengguna obat bius, dan lain-lain. Penularan hepatitis C pada penderita hemodialisa tentunya akan mempersulit penanganan penderita tersebut. Akhir-akhir ini telah banyak dikembangkan tes serologic untuk mendeteksi adanya antibodi HCV yang merupakan petanda infeksi virus hepatitis C. Diharapkan dengan dilakukan penelitian ini penularan virus hepatitis C baik melalui transfusi darah dan komponennya, ataupun secara tidak langsung melalui proses hemodialisa dapat dikurangi."

"Latar Belakang. Salah satu terapi standar hepatitis C kronik adalah terapi kombinasi interferon alfa (IFN) dan ribavirin (RIB). Namun terapi kombinasi tersebut dapat menimbulkan efek samping anemia. Anemia menyebabkan dosis ribavirin harus diturunkan atau dihentikan sementara yang mengakibatkan penurunan keberhasilan terapi hepatitis C kronik. Oleh karena itu perlu diketahui prevalensi dan faktor risiko anemia pada pasien yang menjalani terapi kombinasi agar anemia dapat diantipasi dan diawasi lebih cermat pada pasien dengan faktor risiko tersebut. Penelitian semacam ini belum pernah dipublikasi di Indonesia.Tujuan. Mengetahui prevalensi dan faktor risiko terjadinya anemia pada pasien hepatitis C kronik yang menjalani terapi interferon alfa dan ribavirin serta mengetahui frekuensi pasien anemia yang mengalami penurunan dan penghentian ribavirin.Metodologi. Pasien hepatitis C kronik yang mendapat pengobatan berupa terapi kombinasi interferon alfa-ribavirin oleh staf divisi Hepatologi FKUIIRSCM diikutsertakan dalam penelitian. Data yang dikumpulkan meliputi anamnesis, pemeriksaan fisik dan pemeriksaan darah tepi pada minggu ke 8 terapi kombinasi. Penelitian menggunakan desain cross sectional dengan variabel yang diteliti adalah umur, jenis kelamin, genotip, dosis ribavirin dan, kadar hemoglobin awal terapi.Hasil. Enam puluh satu subyek penelitian terdiri dari pria 47 (77%), wanita 14 (23%) dan usia rerata 38,9 tahun, 23 (71,9 %) subyek mempunyai genotip 1 dan 4, dan 44 (72,1 %) subyek mendapat dosis ribavirin 1000 mg. Prevalensi anemia sebesar 52,5 % (32 subyek). Dari analisis multivariat hanya kadar hemoglobin awal terapi yang rendah yang berhubungan bermakna dengan anemia.. Jumlah pasien anemia yang mengalami penurunan dosis ribavirin adalah 8 dari 32 pasien anemia.Kesimpulan. Prevalensi anemia pada terapi kombinasi 52,5 %. Kadar hemoglobin awal terapi < 14 gldl merupakan faktor risiko terjadinya anemia sehingga pengawasan lebih ketat dan intervensi terhadap anemia dapat dilakukan pada pasien dengan faktor risiko tersebut. Meskipun umur ? 50 tahun, dan wanita belum terbukti sebagai faktor risiko anemia namun harus tetap menjadi perhatian. Delapan subyek (25 %) Ban 32 pasien anemia memerlukan penurunan dosis ribavirin dan tidak ada yang mengalami penghentian ribavirin.

Background. Interferon alfa and ribavirin combination therapy is one of effective standard therapy for chronic hepatitis C. However, anemia is a common side effect of this therapy. Therefore, patients have to reduce or discontinue ribavirin therapy and this can reduce the effectivity of the therapy. Hence, it is important to know the prevalence of anemia and to determine the factors associated with anemia.

Objective. To determine the prevalence of anemia and some risk factors associated with anemia caused by combination therapy in chronic hepatitis C, also to know frequencies of anemia patients who received dose reduction or discontinuation ribavirin therapy.

Method. Sixty one patient of chronic hepatitis C received combination therapy from staff of Hepatology Division FKUIfRSCM were included in the study. Data were obtained by anamnesis, physical examination, and measured complete blood count on 8`h week of therapy. This study was conducted by using cross sectional design.

Result. Subjects were 47 males (77%), females 14 (23%) with mean age 38.9 years. Twenty three subjects had genotype 1 and 4 (71.9%) and 44 subject (72.1) received 1000 mg ribavirin. Prevalence of anemia was found to be 52.5 % (32 subjects). It was concluded that risk factors of anemia are: age > 50 years, females, low pretreatment hemoglobin concentration (<14 gldl) were risk factors of anemia. On multivariate analysis only pretreatment hemoglobin concentration < 14 g/dl was determined to be the risk factor of anemia There were 8 subjects from 32 anemia patients had ribavirin reduction, and no patient had discontinuation treatment on Bch week of therapy.

Conclusion. Prevalence anemia was 52,5 % and pretreatment hemoglobin concentration <14 gldl were found to be the risk factors of anemia. Although age > 50 years and female were not yet found to be risk factors of anemia, we should be careful of these risk factors. Therefore patient with these risk factors should be carefully monitored and intervention to prevent anemia should be considered. Eight subjects from 32 anemia patients had ribavirin reduction, and no patient had discontinuation treatment on 8`h week of therapy."

"Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan pengelolaan privasi (privacy management) mengenai sexting (melalui aplikasi chat/obrolan) dalam hubungan percintaan pada individu berusia dewasa muda. Dalam menjelaskan pemahaman mengenai pengelolaan privasi, studi menggunakan sejumlah konsep dalam Teori Communication Privacy Management dari Sandro Petronio (2002). Penelitian menggunakan paradigma konstruksionisme dan pendekatan kualitatif. Untuk mengumpulkan data, peneliti menggunakan metode wawancara mendalam terhadap 13 informan yang tinggal di wilayah perkotaan (urban setting). Selain itu, peneliti melakukan observasi terhadap bentuk sexting yang dipertukarkan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa individu memiliki pengaturan privasi (privacy management) yang kompleks dan ketat. Selain itu, perilaku sexting dilakukan oleh individu terhadap pasangan, ketika semua pihak dalam hubungan bersepakat dan merasa nyaman terhadap satu sama lain. Terdapat penetapan batas privasi yang spesifik ketika melakukan sexting dengan pasangan. Dalam mengelola batas privasi ini terdapat seperangkat aturan dan guardianship (memastikan agar aturan sungguh-sungguh dilaksanakan). Penelitian ini menemukan sejumlah fungsi sexting, yaitu untuk memelihara hubungan (connection maintenance), untuk memenuhi kebutuhan seksual dan fantasi seksual, untuk mengembangkan rasa percaya (trust), dan untuk menjaga keintiman di khususnya saat kedua pihak tidak dapat bertemu dalam kurun waktu yang relatif lama. Di sisi lain terdapat aspek risiko dari sexting seperti adanya potensi yang dapat mengganggu hubungan tersebut (berupa risiko dalam hal-hal berikut yaitu reputasi yang buruk, informasi yang tersebar secara viral, mendapatkan sanksi dari keluarga atau lingkungan sosial, porn-revenge, terputusnya hubungan, dan lain-lain).

This study aims to explain privacy management about sexting (via chat applications) in romantic relationships among young adults in Jakarta area. In explaining the understanding of privacy management, the study uses a number of concepts in the Communication Privacy Management Theory from Sandro Petronio (2002). This research uses a constructivist paradigm and a qualitative approach. To collect data, researcher used in-depth interviews with 13 informants who live in urban areas (Jakarta, Depok, Bekasi, and Bogor). In addition, the researcher observed the forms of sexting that were exchanged. The results of this research show that individuals have complex privacy management. In addition, sexting behavior is carried out by individuals towards partners, when all parties in the relationship agree and feel comfortable with each other. There are specific privacy limits when sexting with a partner. In managing this privacy boundary there is a set of rules and guardianship (ensuring that the rules are actually implemented). This study found a number of functions of sexting, namely to maintain a relationship (connection maintenance), to fulfill sexual needs and sexual fantasies, to develop trust, and to maintain intimacy, especially when the two parties cannot meet for a relatively long period of time. On the other hand, there are risk aspects of sexting, such as the potential to disrupt the relationship (namely bad reputation, information spreading virally, getting sanctions from family or social environment, porn-revenge, disconnection, and others).
