A depressão infantil é um transtorno muitas vezes menosprezado, mas de impacto profundo na saúde mental dos pequenos ao redor do mundo. Estimativas do ano de 2019 especulam que cerca de 23 milhões de crianças e adolescentes em todo o mundo vivem com depressão, embora essa cifra possa ser subestimada, coberta pelo véu da peculiaridade e desafio que os sintomas apresentam. Portanto, este artigo possui por objetivo explorar e sintetizar os principais fatores de risco associados ao desenvolvimento de depressão infantil. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica, com busca em bases de dados científicas renomadas, confiáveis e relevantes, como PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, BIREME e outras fontes acadêmicas pertinentes. Utilizando uma combinação de palavras-chave, como "Psiquiatria Infantil", "Depressão", "Fatores de Risco", foram realizadas buscas detalhadas para encontrar estudos publicados em língua portuguesa, inglesa ou espanhola, com enfoque em artigos publicados nos últimos 10 anos, mas abrindo espaços para artigos mais artigos que permaneçam relevantes dentro do escopo desta pesquisa. Fatores genéticos e biológicos entrelaçam-se com o ambiente familiar, relacionamentos sociais e adversidades na infância, formando um denso emaranhado de fatores que aumentam as taxas de desenvolvimento de depressão na infância. Os padrões genéticos associados ao processamento de neurotransmissores e resposta ao estresse revelam-se como um dos pilares nesse cenário. No entanto, a interação com o ambiente também desempenha um papel crucial, onde disfunções familiares, eventos traumáticos, abusos sofridos, negligências e mudanças de ambiente disruptivas erguem-se como problemas persistentes. O contexto socioeconômico e cultural adiciona camadas complexas, influenciando a percepção e afetando a saúde mental da criança, especialmente em contextos de disparidade e dificuldade de acesso a recursos e serviços de saúde. Mais estudos são necessários a fim de avaliar a eficácia a longo prazo de medidas preventivas com enfoque nesses fatores de risco, com o objetivo central de proteger a saúde das crianças em um mundo repleto de adversidades.

Published: July 2024

Este estudio analiza las percepciones estudiantiles sobre la integración de dimensiones internacional, regional e indígena en el currículo de la carrera de Ingeniería Mecatrónica en la Universidad Tecnológica del Uruguay (UTEC). Realizado en el marco de una colaboración entre la Universidad Politécnica de Puebla, México y la UTEC, el estudio utiliza cuestionarios tipo Likert para evaluar la relevancia y la implementación efectiva de estas dimensiones en el programa académico. Los resultados revelan que los estudiantes valoran altamente la inclusión de una perspectiva global, considerándola crucial para su formación y preparación en un entorno profesional globalizado. Sin embargo, la percepción sobre la dimensión regional muestra una implementación moderada, destacando la necesidad de un mayor enfoque en los contextos y desafíos específicos de América Latina. La dimensión indígena, aunque reconocida por su potencial valor, presenta la percepción más baja en términos de implementación, indicando una carencia significativa de integración de conocimientos y prácticas ancestrales en el currículo. Este estudio sugiere que, mientras el programa de Ingeniería Mecatrónica en la UTEC está bien alineado con las tendencias de internacionalización, necesita fortalecer su enfoque en las dimensiones regional e indígena para lograr una educación más inclusiva y contextualizada. A lo largo del análisis de los resultados también se ofrecen recomendaciones basadas en evidencia empírica que incluyen una mayor contextualización del contenido académico, el fomento de colaboraciones regionales y la integración de epistemologías indígenas, particularmente aprovechando el conocimiento de pueblos originarios en países vecinos como Brasil y Argentina. Estas mejoras no solo enriquecerán la experiencia educativa de los estudiantes, sino que también promoverán el desarrollo sostenible y equitativo en la región.

Authors: Syafaat Andi Muhammad Batara
Published: July 2024

Background: Palm oil plantations and transmigration in Indonesia, implemented since the New Order era until now, aim to boost economic growth with the intended consequence of improving community welfare, particularly for transmigrants and local residents. Methods: This study employed a case study approach focusing on Mantadulu Village in East Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi. Data was collected through secondary sources, including government documents, news articles, and reviews of research results on palm oil plantation expansion and transmigration in Sulawesi. The data was analyzed descriptively, with a focus on the historical context, conflict trajectories, and socioeconomic impacts. Findings: However, this study reveals a contrary outcome; the presence of PTPN XIV in Mantadulu Village, South Sulawesi has resulted in the exclusion of the surrounding community. This, in turn, has led to the confiscation of their production factors, widening the poverty gap for both transmigrants and local communities. The expansion of palm oil plantations, coupled with the transmigration program, created a surplus labor force, potentially leading to worker exploitation and reduced wages. Conclusion: The transmigration program and palm oil plantation expansion in Mantadulu Village have largely failed to improve the welfare of transmigrants and local communities as intended. Instead, these initiatives have increased the risk of poverty through land exclusion and unfavorable farming schemes. Novelty/Originality of this Study: The novelty of this study lies in its focus on the intricate relationship between the transmigration program and palm oil plantation expansion in South Sulawesi, an area often overlooked in existing research. It uniquely highlights the socio-economic conflicts and class dynamics arising from these programs, providing a fresh perspective on the grassroots impacts and conceptual challenges underlying transmigration and agricultural policies in Indonesia.

Authors: Prayoga M Bayu Rizky , Karuniasa Mahawan , Frimawaty Evi
Published: July 2024

Background: Peatland ecosystems play an important role in the hydrological cycle and carbon cycling. In Indonesia, peatlands store about 28.6 gigatonnes of carbon which is equivalent to 10 years of global fossil fuel emissions. Peatlands act as a water storage during wet seasons and slowly release water during dry seasons to maintain river discharges and hydrological balance. However, climate change induced prolong drought has increased peatland dryness in recent decades which elevate the risks of unwanted peatland fires. During El Nino-induced drought in 2015, over 2.6 million hectares of forest and land burned, emitting 0.81–1.4 gigatonnes of greenhouse gases. The extreme fires damaged biodiversity, degraded water quality and displaced thousands of locals. This study aimed to analyze peatland wetness as an indicator of fire occurrences in forest and land fires (FLFs) in Riau, Indonesia by examining the relationship between degree of peatland wetness derived from satellite imagery and hotspots data. Methods: Peatland wetness was estimated from microwave backscattering coefficients at several RadarSat synthetic aperture radar (SAR) wavelengths and cross validated with water table depth measurements from 120 monitoring wells. Hotspots data between 2015-2020 were obtained from NASA's MODIS active fire product. Finding: Preliminary results showed significant negative correlations between peatland wetness and numbers of hotspots in peatlands, with more hotspots occurring in drier peatlands compared to wetter ones. This implies that maintaining peatland hydrological functions through continuoussaturation is pivotal to prevent severe peatland wildfires under future climate change. Conclusion: Conservation efforts to restore hydrological balance in degraded peatlands through re-wetting strategies are recommended. Further research utilizing machine learning algorithms to produce high-resolution peatland wetness maps can improve fire risk monitoring in peatlands. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study introduces the novel concept of utilizing peatland wetness as a key indicator for predicting and mitigating forest and land fires in Indonesia, particularly in Riau Province. By combining peatland moisture and temperature data, the research establishes threshold values to better predict fire risks and guide timely mitigation efforts, thereby enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of FLF response activities.

Background: Turtles are endangered marine reptile species due to various factors, including hunting, habitat loss, and predation. Therefore, practical conservation efforts are essential to protect turtle populations. One effective conservation strategy is to transfer turtle eggs to safe semi-natural nests. Methods: This study was conducted in Turtle Village, Pinrang Regency. Leatherback and Green Turtle eggs were collected from natural nests along the coast and transferred to semi-natural nests. Observations were made to measure the hatching success rate of the eggs, and factors such as temperature, incubation period, predators, microorganism development, and changes in egg position were also recorded and analyzed. Finding: The results showed that the hatching success rate of eggs in semi-natural nests reached 80.23%. The highest hatching percentage was 86.36%, and the lowest was 68.33%. Factors that influenced hatching success included temperature and incubation period while hatching failure was caused by predators, microorganism development, and changes in egg position. Conclusion: This study shows that semi-natural nests in Turtle Village have a high hatching success rate with supportive environmental conditions and proper egg transmission. This indicates that conservation efforts through egg transfer to semi-natural nests can effectively increase turtle populations. Novelty/Originality: This study: It contributes to turtle conservation by demonstrating the effectiveness of semi-natural nests in increasing the hatching success rate of Leatherback and Green Turtle eggs. This approach can serve as a model for turtle conservation programs in other areas facing similar challenges.

Background: Global climate change is a natural outcome of rising greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere brought on by people's continued pursuit of activities that will meet their demands for food in order to support their lives (Wilis R., 2014). Food security is negatively impacted by climate change. Agricultural productivity will be hampered and food security disrupted by too much or too little rainfall. One of the region that indicated to have a crisis in food securtity in climate crisis. Bekasi is one of the city that located in West Java. Methods: This study tried to employ a methodical literature review approach and analysis to the data that get from the literature review approach. Finding: There are some changes in the data from the rainfall averge, and the productions of the plants commodity. Conclusion: The grown in food security that occurred was also influenced by the climate crisis that occurred in Bekasi Regency, where the average rainfall experienced increased and decreased. In the reality the development that is happening in Bekasi is also the driving force behind the crisis in the food security, because the land to grow the plant is already changing to factory and others.

Background: The 17th goal of sustainable development emphasizes on strengthening global partnerships encompassing human development, including food aspects. The institutional sector is the sector that supports food security. Integration and collaboration between sectors are highly necessary to ensure food security from food provision to distribution to consumers because supporting food security requires the involvement of cross-sectoral participation and is the duty and responsibility of the state involving the entire society. The National Food Agency (Bapanas) assists the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture in managing food with the main tasks involving policy coordination, supply and price stabilization, food vulnerability, diversification of consumption, and food security. This article analyzes the systematic and integrated partnerships of Bapanas. Methods: This was done through literature review and unstructured interviews from open discussions with the Deputy of Food Vulnerability Field of Bapanas. Finding: International institutions in the global context, such as FAO, WFP, and WHO, play a crucial role in food policies, and Indonesia partners with FAO and WFP. Bapanas collaborates with various parties, including international institutions, universities, and food industry associations, and involves local partnerships, such as Food Guardians, to support consolidation programs and diversification of consumption as well as food security in Indonesia. Conclusion: Synergy between food supply, handling, and distribution sectors is needed to support food security, with the key role of institutional and sectoral coordination in governance.
