    Health-related social media use among youth in Malaysia
    In the Web 2.0 era, social media are pervasive, rapidly evolving and increasingly influencing people's daily life and their health behaviour. Emerging as a potential source for online health information it significantly contributed to the increase in access and usage of new media, particularly among youth. However, little is known about how they use social media for such purposes. This study is seek to identify the patterns of social media use among youth scouting around (1) the most popular social media, types and form of information sought (2) frequency of social media use and (3) activities on social media in the context of health information search. This descriptive quantitative study consisted of an online questionnaire survey of 509 youth. The population is a group of youths who are pursuing their studies at public universities (age range 18-25) randomly selected through multi stage random sampling. Four selected universities to represent the zones and G Power Analysis Software has been used to identify sample size. Facebook is the main choice for respondents in the search for health information after Youtube and Blog. Twitter was less used by respondents in the context of health information search. In terms of health information sought, the majority of respondents liked to seek information about the cause of the disease, symptoms, complications or effects and nutritional information. Most respondents prefer to seek health information in the form of images and storytelling/personal experiences of suffering from illness. Respondents spent most of their time on Blog and Youtube for reading on health information. Youth are using social media for seeking health information. However, they are more likely to consume information than they are to contribute to the information posted online. The inherent value of "social"in social media is not being captured with online health information use.

    The study was aimed to investigate the Anti-inflammatory effect of ethanolic extract gel of Averrhoa bilimbi L. leaves (EEGABL) in mice. The results indicated that the healing period of the first-day test on the 7.5% extract was more stable compared to the betadine, which had a faster healing period, followed by 5% extract, 10% extract, and without extract. The study concludes that the ethanol extract gel of Averrhoa bilimbi L. leaves had an anti-inflammatory effect on wound healing. It is suggested that the next study focus on other forms of preparations, such as creams, ointments, and lotions for the treatment of anti-inflammatory effects and look for broader functions of the secondary metabolites of the Averrhoa bilimbi L. leaves.

    Anemia in pregnant women will increase the risk of bleeding before and during labor, and caneven cause death of the mother and baby if the pregnant woman is suffering from severe anemia. Pregnant women who suffer from anemia are likely to experience postpartum hemorrhage. The frequency of postpartum hemorrhage is 15-120% of all deliveries. Considering the magnitude of the adverse effects of anemia on pregnant women and fetuses, it is therefore necessary sufficient attention to the problem of anemia. Data obtained from the Lampaseh Community Health Center, the number of pregnant women in 2018 was 315 people, while the number of third trimester pregnant women who experienced anemia was 80 people (52.17%). The purpose of this study was to determine the factors associated with the incidence of anemia in third trimester pregnant women in the Work Area of Lampaseh Public Health Center in Kuta Raja District Banda Aceh City in 2019. The population in this study were all trimester III pregnant women, amounting to 80 people. The sampling technique was done by Purposive Sampling with a sample size of 30 anemic pregnant women and 30 normal pregnant women. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test with a significance limit of 95% (P≤0.05). The results showed there was a relationship between age (P-value=0.018), education (P-value=0.010), parity (P-value=0.004), and consumption of Fe tablets (P-value=0.002) with the incidence of anemia in trimester pregnant women III. There was no correlation between KEK status (P-value=0.421) with the incidence of anemia in third trimester pregnant women.

    In Indonesia, cesarean section is generally performed when there are certain medical indications, as an act of ending a pregnancy with complications. Besides, it also becomes an alternative delivery without medical indication because it is considered easier and more convenient. The rate of cesarean delivery in Indonesia has exceeded the maximum WHO standard limit of 5-15%. The rate of cesarean delivery in Indonesia is 15.3% in the last 5 years. This research is analytic, with a cross-sectional approach, the sampling technique was by accidental sampling with a total of 85 respondents, carried out on May 12-June 20, 2018, at RSUD Dr. Zainoel Abidin Banda Aceh. Data collection was done through distribution of questionnaires, then the chi-square test is performed with a 95% confidence level and a significance limit (a=0.05). Univariate analysis was obtained from 85 respondents, most respondents chose cesarean section delivery with medical indications of 70 respondents (82.4%), multipara parity of 46 respondents (54.1%), experiencing preeclampsia as many as 45 respondents (52.9%), have a history of cesarean section that is 54 respondents (63.5%), experience premature rupture of membranes that are 49 respondents (57.6%) and experience fetal distress that is 52 respondents (51.2%). Bivariate analysis showed parity (p=0.002), preeclampsia (p=0,000), history of cesarean section (p=0.003), premature rupture of membranes (p=0,000) and fetal distress (p=0,000). There is a relationship of parity, preeclampsia, history of cesarean section, premature rupture of membranes, and fetal distress with cesarean section selection with medical indications at RSUD Dr. Zainoel Abidin Banda Aceh. The need for the Hospital, especially obstetricians and gynecologists to consider cesarean section indications more to avoid labor with the cesarean section which is not a medical indication.

    Currently, the Database Management System (DBMS) keeps growing and is available on various platforms. The use of various types of DBMS in a system can cause problems with limitations in the synchronization process because each DBMS only provides synchronization methods for similar DMBS. Previous research has examined heterogeneous database synchronization algorithms on mobile devices using the Message Digest 5 (MD5) method. The process of synchronization with this method is done by comparing the hash values of each record data in the source table with the data hash values in the destination table. If a different hash value is obtained, the synchronization process is based on the type of transaction that has been determined. Based on the principle of work, this algorithm requires a long synchronization time for large-scale databases because it has to check the hash values of each data record. This study examined the performance analysis of the DBMS synchronization method using MD5. The testing was performed by observing the parameters of execution time of synchronization ptocess for the MySQL DBMS and PostgreSQL types. The results showed that the execution time of the MD5 synchronization process was proportional to the number of data records that need to be synchronized. This is because the hashing process that must be done on every data record and synchronization mechanism requires all data to be sent to check and compare the hash values of each data record in the destination synchronization database even though the data has not changed.
