The prevalence of diabetes mellitus continues to increase every year with various complications. This is caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. The complex management of type 2 diabetes mellitus triggers problems that cause therapeutic goals not to be achieved. The risk of complications is higher due to lack of attention to lifestyle including diet. A good diet, medication and physical activity are considered capable of improving blood sugar control so that the quality of life of people with diabetes mellitus becomes better. Objective: to analyze the effect of diet, medication, physical activity on glycemic control of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: the study was conducted in December 2023-February 2024 at Kassi-Kassi Health Center and Kalukubodoa Health Center, Makassar City, South Sulawesi. The sample size was type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in Kassi-Kassi Health Center as many as 184 people and Kalukubodoa Health Center as many as 168 people. The research group consisted of 2 groups, namely at Puskesmas Kassi- Kassi and Puskesmas Kalukubodoa with a combination intervention of food menu modules for diabetic patients and leaflets and Puskesmas Kassi-Kassi with food menu modules for diabetic patients. Both research groups were intervened for 3 (three) months with the assistance of doctors and nutritionists. There are two stages in this study, namely stage 1 making a prolanis intervention model with quantitative methods followed by stage 2, namely the intervention of food menu modules for diabetic patients and with quasi-experimental methods with a non-randomized pretest postest design. Results: In the aspects of diet, medication, physical activity there is a significant increase in Kassi-Kassi Health Center and Kalukubodoa Health Center (p=0.00) on glycemic control of type-2 diabetes mellitus patients. Conclusion: The results of the trial of the food menu module for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus showed a value of 80\%, meaning that the module was feasible to use based on the assessment of the material expert. Diet, medication, physical activity have a statistical effect and there is a difference in the mean value of glycemic control of type-2 diabetes mellitus patients.

Background: Mining activities can produce large amounts of heavy metals that are discharged uncontrollably, causing widespread ecosystem pollution. Heavy metal pollution is a serious problem, as heavy metals are toxic and non-degradable, polluting air, water and soil. Although some heavy metals are considered essential for normal physiological functions, concentrations that exceed the prescribed limits can have negative impacts on human health and biota. Exposure to heavy metals can cause toxicity to various tissues, organs and systems such as circulatory, respiratory, endocrine, immune, nervous, urinary and reproductive systems. Due to the differences in toxicity of heavy metals, risk assessment is very important in environmental management. Objective: To describe the probabilistic simulation and sensitivity of health risks due to Nickel and Cobalt deposition around the mine using monte carlo simulation. Methods: The method used in this study was literature review. Data collection was done through searching online databases such as: Pubmed and Science Direct. The keywords used in the article search were "Heavy Metal Toxicity", "Heavy Metal Effects", "Heavy metal risk analysis" and "Monte Carlo Simulation". Inclusion criteria were quantitative or qualitative research, target population was heavy metals Nickel and Cobalt, published in the last 10 years (2013-2023) articles in English and articles in original, fulltext and open access. Exclusion criteria are articles that are not relevant to the topic of discussion. Results: 14 articles were found, of which 3 articles on diseases or health problems caused by nickel, 3 articles on nickel risk analysis, 5 articles on diseases or health problems caused by cobalt, 3 articles on cobalt risk analysis. Conclusion: The environment around the mine shows a high level of toxicity, caused by the presence of heavy metals. This can result in serious environmental pollution and pose a great threat to human health. Chronic exposure to heavy metals can cause various health problems, such as mutagenesis, carcinogenesis, teratogenesis, deformation and organ damage.

Objective: This scoping review aimed to map measurement instruments of innovation culture in hospital. Introduction: A culture of innovation can reveal the strengths and opportunities of hospitals in driving strategic innovation and creating an organizational culture; however, suitable measurement instruments for depicting innovation culture are still being discussed. Inclusion criteria: This review considered studies that reviewed the measurement of organizational innovation culture, specifically in a hospital setting. Methods: This review adopted the JBI methodology for scoping review. Search strategies used PCC elements, and the terms "Metric OR Measure OR Questionnaire" AND "Culture of Innovation OR Innovation Culture" AND "Hospital OR Healthcare" were used as the main keywords, limited by quantitative research types in English. The data was extracted from qualified articles, compiled in a spreadsheet, and then imported into Microsoft Word to be combined into a table containing a grid synthesis and a summary of the main concepts. Results: Eight articles published from 2015 to 2022 were eligible for review. The mapping results obtained five metrics that depicted the innovation culture in the hospital. Groups of various dimensions and the measurement results also varied, including innovation tendency, value, climate, flexibility, and focus on being characteristic of innovation. Resource, process, role and involvement of health workers, technology support, and leadership were components of innovation. Reflexivity, behavior, and teamwork are essential to achieving a successful culture of innovation in the hospital. Conclusions: The measurement of innovation culture in hospitals consists of three main keys, namely the characteristics of innovation, the components of innovation, and teamwork: innovation in action.
