appearing during the homecoming period," he said Efforts to eradicate mosquito nests can be carried out through the 3M movement which is draining water storage containers and burying or recycling used items that can hold water the public is asked to be more active in eradicating mosquito nests in their environment If symptoms of dengue fever such as high fever it is important to immediately seek

Pediatrician specialist at Dr Sardjito Central General Hospital (RSUP) as well as lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine explained the population of the vector of dengue infection namely mosquitoes Aedes aegyptiwill increase during the rainy season As rainwater collects in various containers such as plastic glasses the reported cases of dengue fever at the moment could potentially be higher than the reported numbers This is because many people are infected without showing any symptoms Also read: Death cases due to dengue hemorrhagic fever are dominated by children must remain vigilant against the transmission of dengue fever Preventive efforts are highly necessary so that infected children can be promptly treated and avoid more serious conditions "In children who are symptomatic or show symptoms especially when there is a sudden high fever that is continuous or persistent "When they are given fever-reducing medication usually the fever will not fall below 38 degrees Celsius," he said The erratic rain this rainy season has caused dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) cases to rise sharply other symptoms that usually appear in children the appearance of bleeding spots on the skin Children may also show different bodily responses compared to adults the body's response when infected with dengue fever can be accompanied by joint and muscle pain This is because children do not yet have the ability to communicate the pain they feel "On the spectrum of severe dengue infections when the number of platelets is already low children may experience nosebleeds or bleeding gums when brushing their teeth," said Eggi Eggi conveyed that dengue patients with a still good bodily condition are usually advised not to be hospitalized this is done on the condition that the child still needs to be taken to the hospital or health center every day during the critical phase Monitoring of hematocrit and platelet levels will be carried out until the critical phase is passed children with dengue fever can be given fever-reducing medication in the form of paracetamol Avoid other classes of drugs such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) This class of drugs can affect platelet function which can actually increase the tendency for heavy bleeding Fumigation was conducted in a housing complex in the Cinangka district of Sawangan Depok City on Sunday (17/2/2019) to prevent the spread of dengue fever-carrying mosquitoes Another thing to take note of is ensuring that children receive sufficient water intake and always being alert if emergency conditions such as stomach pain Take them to a healthcare facility immediately when these emergency conditions arise Also read: Prevent Dengue Fever during the Transition Period Eggi added that parents must protect their children from dengue virus infection Apart from eradicating mosquito nests inside and outside the house parents can also make other efforts to prevent Aedes aegypti mosquito bites "Parents can also make efforts to prevent mosquito bites such as by wearing bright-colored covered clothing or using repellents immediately recognize the symptoms and seek treatment at the nearest health facility," he said

Island Indonesia (AP) — Arnoldus Yansen thought for certain he was going to become a Catholic priest a bastion of priestly vocations located in the middle of a jungle on Flores a predominantly Catholic island in Muslim-majority Indonesia more than 580 diocesan priests and 23 deacons in nearly 70 years of existence He tried to shake off what he thought were last-minute jitters before entering the priesthood Yansen took off his clerical robes for good and joined the hundreds of prospective priests who resign or fail to take up Catholic vocations every year in Indonesia “I felt like I didn’t fit in anymore and that I would be able to do more if I left,” said Yansen who is now an administrator at a Catholic school Ledalero Institute of Philosophy and Creative Technology Pope Francis’ upcoming trip to Indonesia is putting a spotlight on the 8.6 million Catholics who make up 3% of the population It’s a country where religious minorities remain on edge due to militant attacks that have targeted faith groups but Yansen and others like him show that Indonesia is not immune from trends contributing to the Catholic Church’s global priest shortage including fallout from the clergy sex abuse crisis and the pull of the fast-paced modern world “The number of priests is never enough,” said the Rev which is considered the largest Catholic seminary in the world by enrollment there 2,466 diocesan priests in Indonesia in 2022 That number is supplemented by even more religious order priests But Tanga noted that Indonesia’s population growth is outpacing priesthood vocations “We will continue to face a shortage of priests in the future if nothing is done now.” has long been seen as the future of the Catholic Church both in terms of the number of baptized faithful and the number of men and women who decide to become priests or nuns The Philippines and India outpace Indonesia the number of seminarians in Indonesia is growing while it levels off or declines across the continent While the Catholic Church is faced with priest-less parishes in many parts of the world Ritapiret Seminary is overwhelmed with applicants Men training to be diocesan priests typically spend six to eight years in the seminary Less than 20 seminarians can be ordained each year “To answer God’s calling and to choose a life as (a) priest remain something fascinating for people in this region,” Tanga said “And yet we still appeal (to) youths to have courage to make a decision to take up church vocation and the support from their families and society.” Some consider taking up a vocation to be too dull when compared to more modern ways of life Tanga said seminaries are now being challenged to brand and promote themselves to encourage young people to become priests The school with 62 lecturers — more than half of whom are priests — is now a college where the public can study digital technology and how to become Catholic religion teachers During Pope John Paul II’s visit to Indonesia in 1989 he hailed the faithfulness of people in Flores and the flourishing number of priests and nuns saying: “You must also understand that faithful service to Christ and his Church will not always earn you the world’s praise you will sometimes receive the same treatment as the Lord: rejection the room he spent the night in at the seminary has become a spiritual tourism destination said their data shows that the Catholic priest shortage is not caused by a loss of resources Sex abuse scandals and other unflattering news reports emerging from the Vatican and elsewhere contributed to Yansen’s decision to leave the path to priesthood violent attacks are also a concern of the church in Indonesia Although the country promotes itself as a bastion of tolerance in the Muslim world a small extremist fringe has become more vocal in recent years a militant couple blew themselves up outside a packed Catholic cathedral on Indonesia’s Sulawesi island during a Palm Sunday Mass Bishop Siprianus Hormat of Ruteng said he still believes that most Indonesians are tolerant unless something triggers a conflict and that the country has a pluralist society that respects freedom of religion acts or behaviors of intolerance are still there “This is actually not a problem that is purely related to religious issue but it was used to fuel people’s anger to oppress their political rivals or those who don’t agree with them.” Though religious freedom is protected by Indonesia’s constitution members of religious minorities and atheists have been increasingly subjected to discrimination “Diversity of Indonesia is a reality that we cannot deny,” Hormat said “We cannot tolerate any actions that aim to eliminate certain religion or race from this country.” The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom said in its annual report in January that blasphemy allegations and convictions remain persistent religious freedom violations throughout Indonesia The report said a new criminal code that will be implemented in 2026 will further criminalize blasphemy and expand on other violations There also are concerns about local government initiatives to codify discrimination against minority communities gaining traction my kingdom there will be no end,” said Tanga “It means the vocations to become a priest and dedication to the service of Christ and his church will never wane,” he said Associated Press writer Nicole Winfield in Rome contributed to this report Associated Press religion coverage receives support through

Around midnight, large boulders ejected from Lewotobi Laki-laki, hitting buildings up to 6 kilometres away. The victims - among them Sr Nikolin Padjo, Missionary Servant of the Holy Spirit - were caught in their sleep by the fiery lapilli. In the Minor Seminary in Hokeng, roofs were destroyed and structures burned, injuring 14 people. Caritas Indonesia is coordinating aid with the dioceses of Larantuka and Maumere. Maumere (AsiaNews) - Last night, around midnight, the clear sky above the Lewotobi Laki-laki volcano turned red. At 1,703 metres high, located on the island of Flores in eastern Indonesia, it erupted at 11.59pm local time. The phenomenon was not anticipated by any alarm and claimed at least 10 victims, who were hit by large, fiery lapilli in their homes as they slept. Among them was Sr. Nikolin Padjo, Missionary Servant of the Holy Spirit (SSpS), who was also caught in her sleep. A huge flaming boulder fell into her room, and the entire house and adjacent structures immediately caught fire. This is not the first time the Lewotobi Laki-laki has erupted. But last night, before the eruption, due to the absence of danger warnings, people were not prepared for possible disasters. Sr. Herdiana - a sister of the deceased nun - spoke to AsiaNews confirming the tragedy and pointing out that all the other nuns are seeking refuge elsewhere in the regency of Eastern Flores. The National Disaster Management Agency (NDAB) has ordered the evacuation of the entire area within a 7 km radius of the volcano; residents are moving to villages 20 km away. The local government has declared a state of emergency for 58 days to allow the central government to provide aid to the approximately 10,000 affected residents. The authorities are still collecting data on the number of displaced people. A new report on the situation today, the day after the eruption, confirms that an entire family also died as a result of last night's eruption. Caritas in the dioceses of Larantuka and Caritas Indonesia are finalising their humanitarian response to the emergency. The executive director, Fr Freddy Rante Taruk, has arranged to coordinate the response with the two local dioceses, Larantuka and Maumere. ‘All the inhabitants of our complex have fled to safer places with only the clothes they are wearing and without anything to take with them,’ said a nun, urging emergency humanitarian aid to help the victims. In addition to the local complex of the Missionary Sisters Servants of the Holy Spirit, the San Domingo Minor Seminary in Hokeng, 6 km from the crater, was also severely affected by last night's eruption.
