ABSTRACT
Plant foods contain antioxidants and their efficiency in the management of non-communicable diseases like cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases has long been proven. Nonetheless, the antioxidant potential of plant foods is continuously being studied with the aim of valorizing those foods that are still not well known. As such, the aqueous filtrates of forty-eight (48) plant foods currently consumed in Cameroon were screened for antioxidant potential. Their polyphenol content, ability to scavenge the 2,2’azinobis (3ethylbenzo-tiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) free radicals as well as their Ferric reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP) were assessed. Seven of these plant foods which exhibited very high antioxidant capacity in their filtrates were selected and their aqueous and hydroethanolic extracts prepared for antioxidant evaluation using six methods notably, FRAP, polyphenol, scavenging of ABTS, 1, 1-Diphenyl-2-Picrilhydrazyl (DPPH) and Nitric oxide (NO) free radicals as well as metal chelating capacity. It was found that; Raphia farinifera (Raffia fruit), Spondias cytherea Sonner (Casmango) fruit, Manihot utilissima (Cassava leaf), Solanum scabrum (small leaf Garden huckle berry), Cola verticillata (Bamiléké Kola) and Colocasia esculenta (Taro leaf) portayed very high antioxidant potential. The evaluation of their antioxidant capacity showed that all seven selected foods could be considered for studies related to the management of age-related diseases, especially R. farinifera, Cola verticillata and S. scabrum.

ABSTRACT
Nutritional status is the state of the body as a result of food consumption and use of nutrients. Nutrition is also one of the capitals in determining the quality of resources that can increase physical growth and the development of human intelligence. Based on the health profile of Southwest Sumba Regency in 2019, namely in June, children under five who experienced malnutrition had reached 100 cases, while cases of malnutrition were 348 cases. The Billa Cenge Health Center is one of the health centers located in North Kodi District, Southwest Sumba Regency. The Billa Cenge Health Center is one of the health centers that have nutritional status problems with a total of 50 cases. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors related to the nutritional status of children under five in the work area of the Billa Cenge Health Center, Southwest Sumba Regency. The type of research used is a survey research with a cross sectional design. The location and time of this research is in the Work Area of the Billa Cenge Health Center, Southwest Sumba Regency, in October 2021. The sample used in this study was 97 toddlers. The data obtained were analyzed using chi-square with a significance level of =0.05. The results showed that there were six variables that had a relationship and one variable that did not have a relationship with the status of children under five, namely the level of knowledge of maternal nutrition (p-value= 0.001), mother's education (p-value= 0.000), maternal nutritional behavior (p-value= 0.001), family income (p-value= 0,004) and number of family members (p-value=0,006). Therefore, the communities, especially mothers who have children under five, are expected to seek information about the handling of nutritional status problems in children under five and participate in socialization activities on how to process good food ingredients for toddlers.

ABSTRACT
Background: Students as social control means that in any situation they must be able to control the movement of people to be wiser in receiving various information, one of which is regarding the COVID-19 vaccine so that they are expected to have good knowledge and attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination to be able to educate the public to increase awareness and vigilance against COVID-19 through vaccination. Research Objective: To find out whether there are differences in knowledge and attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination among Health and Non-Health Students at the Universitas Nusa Cendana Settings and Design: This is a cross-sectional approach with a comparative analysis design. Method and Material: Respondents involved were students of the Faculty of Medicine, Public Health, Law, and Economics & Business. There are 136 respondents who met the inclusion criteria that were chosen through the simple random sampling method using validated and reliable questionnaires. Statistical Analysis Used: The research was analyzed univariately using a frequency distribution table and bivariate analysis using the Kolmogorov Smirnov test with the test results for the level of knowledge obtained p-value = 0.864 and attitude obtained p-value =1,000. The level of knowledge of most health students is good with a percentage of 100% while non-health students are categorized as good at 89.7%, 8.8% enough, and 1.5% less. The attitude of health students was in the good category of 95.6% and 4.4% enough, while non-health students were in the good category of 89.7%, 7.4% enough, and 2.9% less. Conclusion: There are no differences in knowledge and attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination in health and non-health students at the Universitas Nusa Cendana.
