Authors: Yuliadarwati Nungki Marlian , Rahmanto Safun , Oktavianti Fitri
Published: September 2022

The elderly have been more susceptible to being exposed to COVID-19. Decreased sleep quality in the elderly is caused by psychological, environmental and physiological factors so that the function of neurotransmitters decreases and substances to stimulate sleep (e.g., norepinephrine) also decrease. Physical activity is beneficial for sleep quality and has a positive impact on onset and total sleep time. This study aimed to determine the relationship between physical activity and sleep quality in the elderly in the Malang community. This was a cross-sectional study with a total sample of 65 people recruited through purposive sampling. Physical activity was measured using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire and sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire. The results showed that there was a significant correlation between physical activity and sleep quality.

Published: September 2022

Diabetes mellitus is still a burden in Indonesia. Failure of treatment may cause the worsening of this disease. This study aimed to define the association between patient adherence and treatment outcomes. We used a cross-sectional design with data from a public hospital in Java. We collected the patients’ characteristics, medical treatments and treatment outcomes from their medical records. The inclusion criteria were adult diabetes mellitus patients without any comorbidities or complications and using antidiabetic medicine (oral and/or injection). The patients’ adherence was assessed using the MARS questionnaire. We recruited 167 subjects from the hospital. Most of the subjects were male (60.0%), the average age was 60.47 (SD: 10.80), 43.7% had single treatment and 50.3% did not adhere. 58.7% subjects had uncontrolled fasting blood glucose (FBG) and 86.6% subjects had uncontrolled HbA1C. After adjusting for subjects’ characteristics, there was a significant association between FBG and adherence. Adherence may increase FBG by as much as 1.95 times (95% CI: 1.04- 3.65). We also found a significant association between adherence and the treatment outcome. Thus, we recommend that health care for diabetes mellitus patients must be complemented with education to increase adherence and improve outcomes.

Authors: Nugrahening Sumadi Firasti Agung , Azzahra Nur Asyifa , Mauliana Lely , Lupita Sari Septia , Shobrun Jamil Ahmad
Published: September 2022

Innate immunity is the body’s first line of defense against infection. One form of the innate immune response is the production of the antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin, which has many important roles in the host immunity against tuberculosis infection, as well as being an antimicrobial therapy. This study’s objective was to determine the potential effect of Curcuma longa, an herb commonly found in Indonesia, to increase the production of the antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin, and its interaction patterns in cells using an in silico approach. The data on the chemical content of the plant were gathered from the Dr. Duke Phytochemical Database, with the prediction of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of compounds in the plant’s rhizomes conducted using the Swiss ADME Software. The Swisstargetprediction.ch website was used to predict the relationship of the plant compounds with cell proteins, and STRINGDB was used to look for pharmacological networks. The results showed that C. longa enhances innate immunity through the activation of TLR7/9 and other related proteins. The findings also showed that the activation of the innate immune response is followed by activation of the adaptive immune response along with its related proteins.

Impact of Physical Activity on the Balance and Fitness of Elementary School Children During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Yulianti Atika , Fitriana Fauna , Falahiah Heny
Published: September 2022

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused a decline in activity both at the office and in schools. To stop the spread of the Covid-19 virus, the government decided that the learning process in elementary schools would be carried out using online systems. This has led to a decrease in psychomotor activity that is usually maintained through playing and routine sports activities at school. Physical activity increases motor physical development which later affects children’s skills in moving. Fitness is the body’s ability to carry out physical activities without causing excessive fatigue. Balance is the body’s ability to maintain a position in carrying out daily activities. These two components are very important in the development period of elementary school children to support other developments and avoid injury. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of change in physical activity in elementary school children during this pandemic and to examine how this has affected the fitness and balance of the children. The researchers used a cross-sectional design with an analytical survey which investigated the correlation between risk factors and the effects of the two variables.

Authors: Hadning Ingenida , Kandayani Aisya Putri
Published: September 2022

The Indonesian Government established a large-scale social restriction (LSSR) policy to prevent transmission of the COVID-19 virus. The impact of this policy was felt by employees where LSSR decreased working time, work activities and company output, which led to cuts in employee salaries or termination of employment. This study aimed to analyze the financial impact of the LSSR policy on employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research was conducted using an observational non-experimental study with a cross-sectional approach. We used accidental sampling for a period of one month while distributing an electronic questionnaire. The criteria for the respondents were employees aged 17-64 years old and there were 176 respondents in total, consisting of 85 males and 91 females. The majority of respondents were aged 17-25 years. The financial impact analysis showed that the average income before undergoing LSRR was IDR 5,964,702 ± 330,699; the average income during LSSR was IDR 5,354,588 ± 298,882; the average expenditure before undergoing LSRR was IDR 3,337,216 ± 180,370; and the average expenditure during LSRR was IDR 3,176,989 ± 168,672. The average decrease in income was IDR 610,114 ± 93,647 (p < 0.001) and the average decrease in expenditure was IDR 160,227 ± 67,223 (p = 0.068). The conclusion is that employees in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic experienced a significant decrease in income and also a non-significant decrease in expenditure.

Published: September 2022

Piperine is an alkaloid found in the plants of the Piperaceae family, such as Piper nigrum and Piper retrofractum. These two plants are commonly used as flavoring agents in daily meals. The piperine extract is reported to be effective in inhibiting the growth of colon cancer cells in laboratory experiments. Between 35-77% of colon cancer cases are caused by excessive expression of the epidermal growth factor receptor. In developing a new compound for commercial drugs, a study of the compound affinity to the receptor is necessary. Hence, the purpose of this study was to comprehensively evaluate the affinity of piperine to the colon cancer receptor using molecular docking software. The AutoDock software was used as a tool for the analysis. Three compounds were analyzed, i.e., the tested ligand (piperine), a native ligand (N-acetyl-D-glucosamine), and a positive control ligand (Gefitinib). Further, the binding score of piperine to the receptor was compared to the binding score of native ligands and positive control ligands. The binding score of the three compounds was found to be -3.82 kcal/mole (piperine), -4.16 kcal/mole (Gefitinib), and -3.75 kcal/mole (N-acetyl-D-glucosamine). It can therefore be concluded that there is a similar affinity between piperine and the control ligand. Therefore, piperine can be recommended and developed as a new drug for colon cancer treatment.

Transitamos por tiempos inciertos: a la par que sufrimos diversos desastres naturales asistimos a un ominoso medrar del estado de vigilancia, a un creciente malestar psíquico difícil de precisar, a una pérdida progresiva de sabiduría y saber-vivir, a una maquinización de lo humano que amenaza con hacerse absoluta, y a un ambiente mediático caracterizado por la manipulación y la sobresaturación de información. Es este un tiempo que clama por un diagnóstico y por un camino hacia adelante. Por ello es pertinente revisar la obra de Byung-Chul Han (de la cual este texto sirve como presentación), quien, a través de las categorías centrales de positividad y negatividad, propone un hilo conductor. Más allá del diagnóstico sombrío, los ensayos de este libro proponen prácticas y lineamientos en la política y la educación, encaminados a recuperar la escucha, la contemplación, la negatividad sin la cual la permanente aceleración de actividades e información del mundo moderno, inundado de positividad, amenaza con consumirnos.
Competitividad e innovación
Authors: Chacón Jaramillo Liliana
Published: September 2022

Desde las diferentes líneas de investigación del Doctorado en Agrociencias de la Universidad de La Salle se presentan los retos que el sector agropecuario afronta para ser competitivo e innovador frente a los ajustes continuos en los sistemas productivos globales y colombianos. Se analiza cómo el desarrollo y el crecimiento de los territorios, de sus capacidades para interactuar y, en esencia, de sus propios atributos, de sus condiciones endógenas les permite potencializar la asociatividad en el mundo rural. De manera consecuente, se considera la importancia de apoyar la productividad y competitividad en el sector cárnico, con el fin de que se adopte una visión integral, con énfasis en las cadenas de valor, los productores y los consumidores. Se ilustra cómo la producción agropecuaria no debe ser ajena al análisis del impacto ambiental que ella misma genera, así como que es posible mejorar los sistemas educativos en regiones golpeadas por la violencia a través de una real aplicación del desarrollo sostenible y de la productividad agrícola ecológica.

El exilio
Authors: Novoa Palacios Amparo
Published: September 2022

Este libro contribuye a bosquejar una antropología teológica contemporánea a partir del aporte filosófico existencial de María Zambrano, en quien se inspira la autora para plantear algunos elementos clave que posibiliten una lectura renovada de la antropología teológica. Para ello, se vale de cuatro categorías: exilio, vocación, transparencia y verdad, a partir de las cuales va tejiendo los diversos argumentos que encuentran su nicho en la antropología filosófica zambraniana y en su método razón poética, para llegar a construir una antropología teológica que asuma la condición humana en su riqueza e indigencia, favoreciendo así una comprensión que conduzca a liberar la vida de cualquier reduccionismo. La vocación a la transparencia y a la verdad definen el exilio como un camino progresivo que muestra la condición misma del ser humano: Yo soy exilio.
El quehacer docente
Authors: Vásquez Rodríquez Fernando
Published: September 2022

A partir de la combinación armoniosa del trabajo de aula y del trabajo de escritorio emerge, en este nuevo conjunto de escrituras del profesor Fernando Vásquez, la utopía de un maestro más exigente consigo mismo y con su oficio. Con cada texto se entreteje una mirada distinta del quehacer docente como oportunidad y desafío para ejercer el pensamiento, innovar en las didácticas, aplicar la inventiva y la creatividad, recuperar la memoria pedagógica, potenciar el talante investigador de una tarea docente que compite ya no solo en el ámbito local, sino también en el regional yel internacional. Atrás ha quedado esa época en la que en el país cualquier persona podía desempeñarse como profesor, pues se creía que se nacía con el don casi mágico del arte de enseñar. Hoy se es consciente de que en cuestiones de docencia nadie nace sino que se hace. Para ser buen maestro hay que pasar por el aprendizaje riguroso de la profesión, lo que conlleva la inmersión en largos años de estudio -de pregrado y posgrado- consagrados a profundizar en las artes didácticas, en las teorías pedagógicas y en las disquisiciones propias de las ciencias de la educación.

Diálogos provocadores
Authors: Bernal Acosta Antonio
Published: September 2022

Provocar es generar expectativa, interés, deseo; es lograr la atención del otro. A través de la pregunta se logra generar la conversación, ya que es imperiosa una respuesta. Por ello, un buen e inteligente conversador debe dominar el arte de hacer preguntas oportunas e interesantes, que incomoden, reten y desafíen. Sócrates es reconocido como el maestro de la pregunta gracias a las obras que sobre él escribió su discípulo Platón; por ello, para diálogos provocadores el autor revisa sistemáticamente varias de estas obras en busca de reconocer la estrategia socrática. Luego selecciona personajes muy reconocidos para, en una licencia anacrónica, poner en diálogo a Sócrates con ellos: es así como con Alexander Oparin conversan sobre el origen de la vida y las ideas; con Carl Sagan sobre la Finalidad de la ciencia, y con Gabo sobre el modelo educativo actual. Todo referido a la necesidad de fomentar las escuelas de pensamiento, un escenario en el que a través de conversaciones se recupere la esencia de la sabiduría, su relevancia significativa, en la abundancia de información de hoy en día.
Confianza
Authors: Vives Hurtado Martha Patricia
Published: September 2022

Hoy en día se habla de la necesidad de recuperar la confianza en las relaciones humanas. Sin embargo, cuando preguntamos qué significa la confianza, muchas personas argumentan que es un juicio de valor, un acto de fe o una expectativa sobre el comportamiento del otro, entre otras interpretaciones. Por lo anterior, y si consideramos que la confianza es la base de lo social, es indispensable definir y reflexionar sobre cómo fomentarla en las relaciones interpersonales. El libro presenta a la comunidad una propuesta teórica sobre la definición de la confianza, su génesis y su consolidación en las relaciones sociales. Esta propuesta se desarrolla a partir de la análisis y la conjugación de varias posturas que existen sobre la confianza actualmente, y de paradigmas sobre la comprensión de lo humano y social.

Objective: Psychiatric intensive care units provide care to patients with severe mental health disorders, often associated with violence and aggression which may result in the administration of rapid tranquillisation (RT). Novel technologies may support staff in monitoring patient
safety and intervening proactively to prevent assaults and RT. The objective of this single-centre pragmatic study was to assess the effect of clinical teams augmenting their existing clinical practices with a contact-free vision-based patient monitoring system on the number of assaults and
RT events. Method: The number of incidents of assaults, and the associated use of RT, was examined before and after the introduction of a contact-free vision-based patient monitoring system in a male psychiatric intensive care unit. Staff surveys and interviews were undertaken to assess
usability and acceptability of the system. Results: There was a 37% reduction in assaults across the wards with 26% reduction in bedroom assaults. There was a 40% reduction in RT episodes related to assaults. Staff reported that they felt confident in monitoring the physical signs and
health of patients remotely with the contact-free vision-based patient monitoring system to support them. Conclusion: The results suggest that the contact-free vision-based patient monitoring system helped staff to reduce incidents of assaults and associated RT administration. Staff
surveys and interviews showed the ways in which their use of this technology had supported them in physical health monitoring.

Authors: Primarani Shahira Putri , Megastsari Fisto
Published: September 2022

Background: According to the Indonesian Ministry of Data and Information Center (2019), the main cause of asthma is not yet known. The national prevalence of asthma is 4.0%. Meanwhile, according to Basic Health Research in 2019, the incidence of asthma in Indonesia was 2.4%, and in East Java, it was 2.5%. Several risk factors for the prevalence of asthma due to unhealthy behaviours, namely smoking consumption habits, physical activities, triggers for depression, and processed chicken/meat/fish foods that are given preservatives. Methods: The design of this study is the advanced analytical method. An approach of utilizing secondary data from the 2019 National Riskesdas (Basic Health Research) report. This study looked at the relationship between asthma prevalence and smoking habits, physical activity, triggers for depression, and consumption of processed chicken/meat/fish food with preservatives. Results: Based on the results, cigarette consumption habits and triggers of depression had a relationship with risk factors for asthma prevalence. Meanwhile, physical activity and consumption of processed meat/chicken/fish foods with preservatives did not have a relationship with the incidence of asthma. Conclusion: The increasing prevalence of asthma was closely related to smoking habits and a trigger for depressive disorders. However, based on the cross-tabulation results, there was no relationship between physical activity and consumption of processed meat/chicken/fish foods with preservatives and the prevalence of asthma. It is hoped that with this research, and seeing that there were still exposure factors from smoking habits and depression triggers, prevention efforts can be made, starting with education about asthma recurrence by avoiding smoking or air pollution, allergens, stress, and emotions. In addition, reducing asthma can be done by asking for support from the closest people to minimize these behaviors and changing smoking behavior with other positive habits such as getting used to replacing nicotine with candy.

A paired t-test is used as the data analysis to determine the difference before and after being given training. The methods applied in measuring cadre skills are presentation and role play. Meanwhile, RTL activities are held online in the form of Community Service Webinars. The materials provided in training activities 1-3 are in the form of PPT materials and manuals. Results: Based on the results of the paired t-test, it is known that there were significant differences (sig <0.05) in the results of the pre-test and post-test on the four training activities. Conclusion: This program was effective and its implementation has succeeded in achieving the expected target and there has been a strengthening of knowledge in the community.
Student Experiences in Accessing Learning Higher Education During Covid-19: Case of a University in Malawi
Authors: Banda T.
Published: September 2022

In 2020, the world experienced the unexpected as the Covid-19 pandemic ravished countries across the globe. This led to major disruptions in people’s day to day lives. Within the education sector, schools and other institutions of learning were forced to shut down. One way of regaining some semblance of normality involved teaching and learning taking on a different format as institutions migrated to online teaching. Alongside this transition came major adjustments that both institutional staff and students had to make. While the transition from face-to-face learning to online was argued to have been an uphill struggle, the situation varied from country to country and region to region, with most countries especially in the Global North, to a large extent, transitioning with reasonable ease. The transition to online learning in response to Covid-19 offered an opportunity to clarify aspects that influence the use of digital technology in teaching and learning as well as to explore the overall student learning experience. The main objective of the article is to explore how students in Malawi, a country in the Global South and one of the poorest countries in the world, coped with this major disruption in trying to access higher education. Using a qualitative approach, data was collected through interviews with both undergraduate and postgraduate students. Data was analysed thematically, and findings presented based on themes emerging from the analysis that were categorised as pre-lockdown, lockdown and post-lockdown experiences. Findings revealed the interconnectedness between the various aspects of student life that affect their learning experiences. It also highlighted how disruption only bring to the fore underlying issues from where learning experiences would either be looked at as positive or negatives.

The environmental damage that occurs on a large scale has an impact on reducing biodiversity. Biodiversity has an important role that is useful for human life and plays a central role in economic development. This condition makes various parties aware of their role in preventing further damage. Companies, whether directly or indirectly, owe a great deal to the environment. This study seeks to examine the role of the Board of Commissioners as proxied by the size of the Board of Commissioners, the proportion of Independent Boards, and the proportion of women on the Board of Commissioners as a corporate governance mechanism for their biodiversity disclosure. The companies used as samples are listed in the SRI-KEHATI index from 2018 to 2020. To measure the company's biodiversity variable, we use a biodiversity index which contains 53 measurement items in 5 main themes. As a result, we find that the size of the Board of Commissioners has a positive effect on the company's biodiversity disclosure. Meanwhile, the proportion of Independent Commissioners and the proportion of women on the Board of Commissioners are proven to have no effect on the company's biodiversity disclosure.
