Mental Health and Nutrition have become concerns for many parties considering their significant impact on the productivity of working staff. This includes the staff of the Library and Archives. In celebration of its first anniversary, the Library and Archives organized a health lecture on Monday (1/7) at the Seminar Room of the Library and Archives, conducted in a hybrid format and attended by participants from all librarians, archivists, library staff, and archive staff within Universitas Gadjah Mada, as well as open to limited Library visitors. The Health Lecture is one of the collaborative activities between RSA UGM, HPU UGM, and GMC, along with a series of blood donation activities and RSA Goes to Campus, all held simultaneously.

"This Health Lecture is held precisely on July 1 as part of the first anniversary celebration of the Library and Archives of UGM," said Sarwono, S.IP., M.A., chairman of the Library and Archives anniversary committee for 2024. "According to survey results, awareness of mental health remains low," added Arif Surachman, S.IP., M.B.A., Head of the Library and Archives, in his remarks.

It is hoped that this event will help improve staff's ability to manage their mental health accompanied by balanced nutrition. This activity also reflects the commitment of the Library and Archives to implement SDG Goal 3 on Good Health and Well-being.

Healthy mental state is certainly inseparable from physical well-being. "With a healthy body, mental health will also follow suit, and we should be the ones managing our schedules, not the other way around," said Prof. Dra. Yayi Suryo Prabandari, M.Si., Ph.D., delivering the Mental Health content.

"Change must start from small things, even being grateful for the smallest things can make us happier, just as physical activities can increase endorphin hormones, which have positive effects on mental health," she added.

Mental health also depends on the quality of the food we consume. "The better the nutritional content of the food we consume, the better it is for our bodies," as stated by Tony Arjuna, S.Gz., M.Nut.Diet., AN., APD., Ph.D., during his presentation on Nutrition Management. "There are millions of microbes entering our mouths from food, so we must be more selective about what goes into our mouths," he explained.

"The effects of the food we eat also manifest gradually over the long term. Besides the type of food, improper eating patterns can also impact health, including feelings of fatigue, drowsiness, mood swings, brain fog, and depression," he stated.

Both speakers managed to lighten the atmosphere, and participants appeared enthusiastic in listening and asking questions, both online and offline. Following the presentations and Q&A session, three top questioners received door prizes from the Library and Archives.

The Library and Archives of Universitas Gadjah Mada held an Integrated Non-Communicable Disease Management Post (Posbindu PTM) event on Friday, June 28, 2024, in the lobby of the UGM Library and Archives Building. This event was part of the series of activities for the 1st Anniversary of the UGM Library and Archives.

The Posbindu activity, aimed at the entire UGM academic community, aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) point 3: Good Health and Well-being. To ensure its success, the UGM Library and Archives collaborated with the Health Promoting University (HPU) and the UGM Integrated Health Bureau. This Posbindu activity was also supported by the UGM Academic Hospital and the Gadjah Mada Medical Centre.

The Posbindu activities involve monitoring and early detection of risk factors for non-communicable diseases. This initiative has been ongoing in Indonesia since 2002. The event was attended by the leaders and staff of the UGM Library and Archives, members of the librarian forum, members of

forsipagama, part-time students, and cleaning service staff.

The Posbindu PTM organized consisted of five series of activities that participants had to undergo: height, weight, and Body Mass Index (BMI) measurements; blood pressure and waist circumference checks; cholesterol, blood sugar, and uric acid tests; nutritional consultations; and mental health consultations.

The purpose of this event was to enhance the productivity and quality of the campus community. This initiative aimed to promote healthy behaviors among lecturers, educational staff, and students so that they can become more productive and high-quality individuals. Efforts to increase health awareness on campus also support the implementation of SDGs point 4: Quality Education.

The Posbindu PTM event was first opened with speeches from Arif Surachman, SIP., M.B.A., Head of the Library and Archives; Prof. Dra. Yayi Suryo Prabandari, M.Si., Ph.D., Head of the Department of Health Behavior, Environment, and Social Medicine/Chair of HPU UGM; and Prof. Dr. Wening Udasmoro, S.S., M.Hum., DEA, Vice-Rector for Education and Teaching at UGM.

In line with SDGs point 3, this event is expected to ensure the health of the entire campus community.

“As the head of HPU, I am pleased that this Posbindu has been successfully implemented in several faculties and units, including the library. Please continue these activities. The hope is that this initiative will keep the campus community healthy and continue to maintain their health until the end of their tenure” said Prof. Yayi, Chair of HPU, in her speech.

The health aspects prioritized in this activity are not only to support SDG goal 3 but also to promote positive and beneficial activities for the academic community of UGM.

“Health aspects are crucial, so please continue to prioritize them and ensure strong promotion of these activities” Prof. Wening emphasized in her opening remarks.

The event ended with health checks conducted in an orderly manner according to the HPU activity sequence until completion. The existence of this activity is expected to serve as a positive breakthrough in continuously improving and maintaining health.

Currently, global attention is focused on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The main objective of SDGs is to achieve sustainable development in various aspects of life. One of these goals is to ensure a healthy life and improve the well-being of all people of all ages. This goal reflects a commitment to providing universal access to quality healthcare services and efforts to enhance health conditions and well-being for all layers of society worldwide.

In the past few decades, there has been a shift in the disease burden from infectious diseases to Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). NCDs account for approximately 74% of all global deaths. Similarly, in Indonesia, about 69% of Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) lost are attributed to NCDs, including cancer, stroke, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. In the context of the third Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on Good Health and Well-being, one of the targets for 2030 is to reduce premature deaths caused by NCDs by one-third through prevention and treatment efforts.

With the rapid advancements in healthcare technology, a new branch of science has emerged known as nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics. As mentioned in this book, nutrigenomics examines the interaction between nutrient intake (macronutrients, micronutrients, and bioactive compounds) and gene expression within the body. Meanwhile, nutrigenetics focuses on studying how an individual's genetic variations can influence their response to nutritional intake. Through a deeper understanding of these two branches of science, it is expected that doors will open towards a personalized approach to nutrition and health, aligning with the unique needs of each individual.

In this book, the author provides a detailed explanation of nutrigenomics, nutrigenetics, genetic variations, Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs), chromosome structure and organization, and gene expression. Not only that, but the author also elucidates human genetics and the terminology commonly used in this field to facilitate a better understanding of genetics. Beyond the foundational explanations, the book presents case examples of nutrigenetics and how genetic variations can impact nutritional requirements. The cases discussed include phenylketonuria, lactose intolerance, galactosemia, and deficient aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme.

Another advantage of this book is the presence of dedicated chapters addressing nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics in Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension and heart diseases, cancer, and obesity. In these chapters, readers can gain a more detailed understanding of the biological mechanisms, existing genetic variations, interactions between genes and dietary factors, and appropriate nutritional recommendations. For instance, there is a discussion on the genetic variation in the APOA2 gene, where individuals with the CC genotype are responsive to saturated fats, thereby having a higher risk of obesity and cardiovascular diseases. The recommended diet for individuals with the CC genotype in the APOA2 gene is to reduce saturated fat intake to mitigate the associated risks.

This book is highly suitable for nutrition students and practitioners interested in exploring the branches of nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics in the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare technology. The nutrigenomic and nutrigenetic approaches outlined in the book are incredibly beneficial in providing precise nutritional recommendations tailored to the genetic variations of each individual, especially concerning the prevention and treatment of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). This knowledge is anticipated to continue to advance and play a pivotal role in achieving the third goal of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which is Good Health and Well-being. This book can be found in the Borrowing and Returning Book Room of the UGM Library.
