ated pre-pregnancy and gestational body mass indexes (BMI). The purpose of this study is to characterize the distribution of delivery methods among pregnant women who are obese at Dr. H. Abdul Moeloek Regional Hospital in Lampung Province, Indonesia. Total sampling was used to perform a quantitative, descriptive retrospective analysis. 58 pregnant women with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above who gave birth between 2017 and 2023 were included. SPSS version 27.0 was utilized for data analysis. Findings out of the 58 instances that could be analyzed, 69.0% of obese pregnant women gave delivery via cesarean section, 27.6% gave birth spontaneous vaginally, and 3.4% had a vacuum induction. The majority (31.0%) were between the ages of 35 and 39, and 77.6% were multiparous. The type of delivery was found to be strongly influenced by maternal age, parity, and obesity. Being obese greatly raises the risk of having a cesarean section, especially for older and multiparous women. Reducing needless cesarean rates and improving mother and newborn outcomes may be possible with early treatments such as lifestyle modification education, prenatal counseling, and BMI-based risk assessment.

n seven markets in Southeast Asia, Shopee not only provides a platform for buyers to find products, but also provides training and support to their sellers. The rapid growth of e-commerce in Indonesia is also influenced by factors such as the increase in population, increasing smartphone and internet users, and the development of financial technology companies. The convenience of online shopping encourages consumers to buy various desired products so that they are encouraged to behave consumptively. This then stimulates the phenomenon of impulse buying in consumers. Currently, economic activities are dominated by Generation Z's behavior to carry out activities such as scrolling, online shopping, and making transactions. Some marketplaces have not paid attention to the positive emotions of consumers with the Generation Z group in the target market, hedonic shopping motivation, fear of missing out, and shopping lifestyle that can trigger impulsive purchases which are part of the consideration of the preparation and strategy of innovative marketing targets according to the needs of market psychology. This study aims to find out how much respondents assess hedonic shopping motivation, fear of missing out, and shopping lifestyle, find out the influence of hedonic shopping motivation, fear of missing out, and shopping lifestyle on impulse buying generation Z, find out the influence of positive emotions on impulse buying generation Z, to know the influence of hedonic shopping motivation, fear of missing out and shopping lifestyle on impulse buying through positive emotions. This study uses a quantitative method. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling. The data obtained was 385 respondents by distributing questionnaires online. The respondents in this study are Generation Z Shopee users in Indonesia.

The results of this study are hedonic shopping motivation, fear of missing out, shopping lifestyle, positive emotion have a significant positive effect on impulse buying.
Abstract:Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a viral infection marked by a significant decrease in platelet count. Accurate platelet count testing is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring DHF patients. The pre-analytical phase is a…
critical stage in laboratory testing, where errors can significantly impact test outcomes. Anticoagulants, such as K3EDTA and 3.2% sodium citrate, are commonly used in routine hematology tests to prevent blood clotting by binding calcium ions and inhibiting clotting factor activation. This study aimed to evaluate the difference in platelet counts between blood samples collected with K3EDTA and 3.2% sodium citrate anticoagulants in DHF patients. An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 50 purposively sampled DHF patients. Statistical analysis yielded a p-value of 0.615 (p > 0.05), indicating no significant difference in platelet counts between the two anticoagulants. It can be concluded that the use of K3EDTA and 3.2% sodium citrate does not significantly affect platelet count results in DHF patients. Future studies are recommended to involve larger sample sizes and consider microscopic examination methods, such as peripheral blood smears, to assess platelet aggregation visually.
Abstract:Nori is a seaweed-based food that is favored by the Indonesian people, but its availability is still limited. Meanwhile, the abundant production of land kale (Ipomoea reptans) as a local vegetable has not been optimally…
utilized, resulting in low economic value and its potential as a food source has not been maximized. One solution to overcome this problem is to use organic land kale as an alternative ingredient for making nori. Organic land kale is known to have good nutritional content and is commonly consumed by the community. This study aims to determine the level of acceptance of analog nori made from organic land kale as a healthy snack through organoleptic tests. The method used was an experiment with a completely randomized design (CRD), consisting of 24 samples, 6 treatments, and 4 repetitions. The treatment given was carrageenan concentration (0%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.2%, and 1.4%) Data were analyzed using the Friedman Test to assess panelists' preferences for taste, color, aroma, and texture parameters. It can be concluded that the results show the addition of carrageenan at 1% produces analog nori with the highest level of acceptance, so it is considered the most optimal formulation.

long-term blood glucose levels measured by Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). This study aimed to explore the relationship between BMI and HbA1c levels in patients at Prima Medika General Hospital, Denpasar. A cross-sectional analytic observational design was employed, involving 30 purposively selected respondents. BMI was calculated from weight and height measurements, while HbA1c levels were assessed using the immunoturbidimetric method. Results showed an even distribution of respondents in the normal and overweight BMI categories (each 46.5%), while 50% had HbA1c levels >8%. However, Pearson correlation analysis indicated no statistically significant relationship between BMI and HbA1c levels (p=0.982; r=-0.004). The study concludes that BMI does not have a linear correlation with HbA1c levels. Other factors such as type and duration of therapy, disease progression, and patient adherence may play a greater role in influencing glycemic control and should be further investigated.
