ABSTRACT
Objective: COVID-19 means Crown in Latin, COVID-19 is a type of virus that first spread in the city of Wuhan, China, and has spread throughout the world. This virus has an impact on all sectors namely the Economy, Health, and Education. This study aimed to determine the effect of school from home on working mothers during COVID-19 pandemia in Riau Province, Indonesia. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design involving 132 working mothers who had schoolchildren in Pekanbaru City, Riau Province, Indonesia. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling with inclusion criteria for working mothers with schoolchildren who are willing to be respondents. The measuring instrument used to determine the psychosocial impact uses Self Reporting Questionnaire 29 (SRQ 29). Data were analyzed using univariate descriptive tests. Results: The results showed that more than half of them, namely 87 (65.9 %) working mothers experienced Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Conclusion: There is a needs to implement policies and curriculum changes in schools, for example, don't give too many assignments, shorten study time, and need communication between school authorities and parents of students. © 2023 Academia Nacional de Medicina.

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Malnutrition is one of the factors affecting children to be more susceptible to disease and death. It occurs most frequently in low- or middle-income countries. In March 2020, Indonesia reported its first case of Covid-19 and Bali became one of the provinces in Indonesia that was hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. The condition affected health services for mothers and children at the community health center level unable to run optimally. This study aims to describe the nutritional status of children in Bali Province, especially in four villages under the guidance of the Banjar II Health Center after almost 2 years through the Covid-19 pandemic.
ABSTRACT
Purpose: COVID-19 caused dramatic changes in daily life, including the way people stay in a building. Since the virus's outbreak and the mandate of social distancing from WHO, a house has become an essential place for people to avoid the propagation of the virus. However, recent house configurations cannot satisfy people's needs when staying at home and have not provided complete protection from viruses. Therefore, architects are expected to create new configurations. In order to establish a new trend, this paper aimed to explore the ability of the traditional architectural concepts that discuss the efforts to produce suitable configurations. Design/methodology/approach: To investigate to what extent the traditional Balinese concepts are still relevant to counter infectious diseases, architectural examinations and spatial stories were used as a method of investigations. Findings: This paper found that certain traditional knowledge elements are still relevant to produce suitable configurations to deal with possible virus attacks and introduce more security layers to the house. Research limitations/implications: Learning from the COVID-19 pandemic, this paper provides a view of traditional concepts that are now still applicable to modifications and adaptations. Practical implications: In these modifications, the traditional hierarchy of entering the house and the function of open spaces for food production are traditional elements that address the protocol to face the virus. Social implications: Local knowledge has given good things as a precious heritage from the Balinese communities' ancestors to face this new challenge. Originality/value: This pandemic has taught architects to combine modern technologies with local wisdom as an approach to develop innovative antivirus designs. © 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited.
