The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of nutritional status and lighting on the incidence of pulmonary TB in Padangsidimpuan City. This study is an analytical observational study with a case-control design. The sample consisted of 56 cases and 56 controls. The analysis used simple logistic regression and multiple logistic regression tests. The results of the logistic regression test showed a significant effect between nutritional status (p = 0.041; OR = 2.906, 95% CI 1.045-8.081) and lighting (p = 0.048; OR = 2.995, 95% CI 1.008-8.902) on the incidence of pulmonary TB. It is recommended to maintain body health by consuming nutritious food and paying more attention to the physical environment of the house, especially lighting so that sunlight enters the house.

Hematoxylin-eosin staining is a crucial technique used in histopathology to differentiate tissue components. One of the steps in this staining is changing the color of the nucleus, which was previously reddish due to the acid solution, to bluish; this step is known as blueing. The bluing agent, lithium carbonate, is commonly used in laboratories but has side effects and low availability. Sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda, can be used as an alternative due to its optimal pH, lower toxicity, and availability. This study aims to find out whether baking soda is as effective as lithium carbonate when used as a blueing agent for hematoxylin-eosin staining. The study design used was a true experimental post-test only control group design with a sample size of 32 preparations. Results of preparations using baking soda microscopically had good color uniformity, the nucleus was visible, the cytoplasm was clear, so the boundaries between cells were visible, and no cell lysis was found. In percentage terms, 14 preparations received a score of two (87.5%), two preparations received a score of three (12.5%), followed by a P value of 0.051 after carrying out the Fisher's exact test in bivariate analysis. Based on the results, baking soda is as effective as lithium carbonate, so it can be used as an alternative to bluing agent of hematoxylin-eosin staining.

The level of preparedness in the high category is (63.8%) and self-efficacy is (57.1%). Bivariate analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between preparedness and self-efficacy 0.000 (p < 0.05). The strength of the correlation coefficient in the criteria is sufficient (r=0.380). Researchers suggest that the community participation in landslide disaster preparation is supported by good self-efficacy for preparation for landslides in order to reduce disaster risks such as fatalities.
 

Suicide among university students, particularly those who have moved away from home, is a serious issue. One contributing factor is their level of adaptation self-efficacy. Parenting styles are thought to influence this self-efficacy, though this link hasn't been firmly established in research. This study aimed to investigate this relationship among students at Semarang Health Polytechnic. Using a correlational approach with a cross-sectional method, 53 second-year students were surveyed from campus 1 of Semarang Health Polytechnic, chosen via total sampling. The data, analyzed using Spearman's Rank correlation test, revealed a significant connection (p = 0.000, correlation coefficient = 0.520) between parenting styles and adaptation self-efficacy among these students.Most respondents experienced democratic parenting (62.3%) and showed adequate adaptation self-efficacy (60.4%). This suggests that democratic parenting positively influences adaptation self-efficacy among students living away from home. In conclusion, this study confirms the link between parenting styles and adaptation self-efficacy among students at Semarang Health Polytechnic, emphasizing the role of supportive parenting in helping students adjust to new environments.
