Authors: Widianti Sherly
Published: February 2025

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by increased blood glucose levels due to impaired insulin production, insulin function, or a combination of both. To date, no cure exists for the disease; current efforts focus on controlling blood glucose levels, one of which is through dietary management. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) projects that among the top 10 countries with the highest number of diabetes cases, China, India, and the United States occupy the top three positions. Indonesia ranks seventh, with 10.7 million individuals diagnosed with diabetes. It is further estimated that by 2030, the global number of diabetes mellitus cases will increase to 678 million. This underscores Indonesia's significant contribution to the prevalence of diabetes cases in Southeast Asia. A diabetes mellitus diet is specifically designed to help patients achieve and maintain normal blood glucose levels. This study aimed to analyze dietary compliance and its impact on blood glucose level changes in diabetes mellitus patients. A qualitative descriptive research method was employed, conducted at Kenten Permai Public Health Center, Palembang. The qualitative data analysis was inductive, leading to hypothesis development. The study involved three diabetes mellitus patients as informants and one expert informant, a nutritionist. The findings revealed that one respondent was fully compliant with the diet, one was partially compliant, and one was non-compliant. Respondent D, who adhered to the schedule but not the portion sizes or food types, showed a reduction in blood glucose levels from 186 mg/dL to 160 mg/dL. Respondent R, who fully complied with portion sizes, food types, and meal timings, experienced a decrease from 213 mg/dL to 136 mg/dL. Meanwhile, respondent Y, who was less compliant, exhibited only a slight reduction, from 328 mg/dL to 298 mg/dL. All respondents demonstrated awareness of the diabetes mellitus diet and had started implementing it in their daily lives.

Authors: Salsabila Ukraina Azzura , Wahyudin
Published: February 2025

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a joint inflammation commonly referred to as rheumatism, which occurs due to mechanical and biological processes leading to cartilage thinning, joint instability, and calcification. Osteoarthritis is a major cause of disability in the elderly, with an increased risk due to trauma, repetitive joint use, and obesity. Effective management of OA is necessary to prevent complications. Pharmacological treatment is a common management option for OA, with one such intervention being the use of ginger warm compresses. This study aims to analyze the nursing care provided to an elderly patient with osteoarthritis, specifically focusing on the application of ginger warm compress therapy in the Anggrek Room of Griya Lansia, Garut Regency. A case study method was used with a sample of one OA patient. Three priority nursing diagnoses were identified: chronic pain, impaired physical mobility, and knowledge deficit. Nursing interventions included identifying the pain characteristics, applying non-pharmacological pain management through ginger compress therapy, performing active range-of-motion exercises, and providing health education about osteoarthritis. The objective of this study was to gain firsthand experience regarding the effectiveness of ginger warm compress therapy as an intervention for chronic pain in osteoarthritis patients. The study was conducted over three consecutive days with a 15-minute session each day. The results indicated that prior to ginger compress therapy, the patient’s pain level was 5 (moderate pain) on a scale of 0-10. After the intervention, the pain scale decreased to 2 (mild pain), suggesting a significant effect of ginger warm compress therapy in reducing pain in osteoarthritis.

Published: February 2025

The lack of proper waste management in the city has led to the accumulation of waste and the loss of potential resources. In a day, 16 tons of waste are collected from the Libertad South Public Market. In line with this, the researchers aimed to use vegetable waste generated in the Libertad South Public Market and propose a processing plant to produce fermented poultry feed. Data from the city and the researchers’ sampling determined that the waste collected was mostly organics. In preparation for the material balances, energy balances, and plant design, Chemical Engineering principles and multiple related pieces of literature in traditional and digital forms were applied and consulted. The process of producing fermented poultry feeds primarily began with segregating vegetables from undesired or rejected items, followed by the pre-treatment, which includes washing, rinsing, and size reduction of the vegetables. After pre-treatment, vegetable waste was fermented for 24 hours. The fermented feed was then subjected to various physical processes, including drying, pelletizing, and screening. This study presents an alternative way of handling waste while using waste to produce poultry feeds, which could help with the waste problem in the city and various communities.

Authors: Salazar Hyacinth , Verdeprado Richelle
Published: February 2025

Studies have shown that relationships in the family and the roles that each member plays affect the socialization and upbringing of children. Thus, questions have been raised about children with single parents and in a rehabilitative environment after being accused of committing offenses. This qualitative study focused on Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL) from single-parent families. Using the case study’s idiographic approach, the researcher identified the participants through homogenous purposive sampling based on undergoing Case Management at the Social Development Center, a facility for CICL in Bacolod City. Interviews and focus group discussions were conducted to deepen the understanding of the participants’ experiences and to categorize the results. Findings from this study support the researcher’s hypothesis that children raised in homes with one or both parents absent may be prone to deviant behavior due to their family dynamics. The theories mentioned in this study proved that delinquency is associated with the type of family structure and some underlying factors rooted in the type of family structure which, in this case, are the single-parent family structures. Lastly, through the narratives transcribed, this study uncovered the resiliency and vision of both the CICL and the parents. This study has also brought up more recommendations for the further exploration of future researchers.

Published: February 2025

Playing computer games can be stress-relieving, but for Criminology students tasked to maintain peace and order in the future, too much exposure to computer games can become a source of aggression. This contention has led to this quantitative and descriptive-correlational research using a self-made survey questionnaire to gather data among the 175 Criminal Justice Education students enrolled for the school year 2018-2019 in the selected university in Bacolod City. The data gathering instrument was designed to measure the levels of computer gaming and aggression of the participants. Results showed that the levels of computer gaming and aggression of Criminology students are moderate. As a whole, the participants engaged in computer games moderately, but when grouped according to sex and year level, the females and second-year students played computer games at a low level. On the other hand, the male group; those in the first, third, and fourth-year levels; and those playing for more than six hours, likewise played violent games and engaged heavily in computer gaming. Moreover, the level of aggression of the participants when they are taken as a whole and when grouped according to variables is moderate. Finally, there is no significant relationship between computer gaming and aggression.

The indigenous practices in the use of wild yam or 'karot' (Diosgoreg hispilg Dennst.)" and some selected personal variables of involved upland dwellers were described in this study. Old folks comprised the bulk of karot gatherers. They were mostly females, married, elementary graduates, farmers and earning a monthly income of less than 3,000. Processing of 'karot' is usually done near river banks where flowing water is the hey element to detoxify and transform the corms into edible material ready for cooking. Processing is a tedious process and because of this, wholesale gathering is restrained maintaining 'karot' gathering and processing at family subsistence levels.Correspondingly, respondents do not see marked and potential profit from 'karot' as it is scarce, a general engagement of the local community and seasonal, that is, gathering is donefew months before rice harvest.'Karot' is a way oflife, yet, is being regarded as foodfor the poor because the more wealthy sector of the local upland communities prefer imported items and commercial goods available at the market. There was no indication that research generated information and technology had been incorporated with the indigenous system of 'karot'process andfood utilization. On the whole, karot practices was placed at the moderate level. Four socio-demographic variables namely: age. Gender, educational attainment and monthly family income were significantly correlated with 'karot' practices. On the other hand, civil status, number of children, ethic group and occupation were not significantly correlated with practices.

Published: February 2025

This study explored the innovative use of Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) combined with Super Absorbent Polymers (SAP) as a sustainable alternative to Natural Aggregate (NA) in concrete production. Addressing the traditional limitation of RCA usage to 30% due to water absorption and reduced strength, this research successfully increased the RCA content to 50% using a Two-Stage Mixing Approach (TSMA). Three concrete mixtures were tested: conventional concrete and two mixtures containing 50% RCA and 50% NA, incorporating 0.11% and 0.3% SAP by cement weight. Compressive and flexural strength tests conducted on cylindrical and beam samples after 28 days revealed that the flexural strength of the recycled concrete mixtures was comparable to that of traditional concrete, meeting the standards set by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). Notably, the mixture with 50% RCA, 50% NA, and 0.3% SAP achieved the highest compressive strength, surpassing the American Concrete Institute (ACI) standard of 17 MPa (2500 PSI). These findings highlighted the potential of TSMA and SAP to enhance the structural performance of RCA-based concrete, making it a viable and sustainable alternative to conventional concrete. This study introduced a novel method for increasing RCA utilization in structural applications, significantly reducing construction waste and promoting environmentally sustainable practices in the construction industry.

Published: February 2025

Background: Maternal obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m²) increases risks of GDM, hypertensive disorders, preeclampsia, and neonatal complications. This meta-analysis evaluates intervention effectiveness in reducing these risks. Objective: To assess the relationship between maternal obesity and adverse outcomes, including metabolic disorders and neonatal adversities, and to evaluate the efficacy of lifestyle and medical interventions in mitigating these risks. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases identified nine studies involving 2,700 participants. Studies included were RCTs or prospective cohort studies focusing on obese or overweight pregnant women and reporting outcomes such as GDM, preeclampsia, pregnancy weight gain, and neonatal health. Data were extracted independently, and pooled odds ratios (Ors) or weighted mean differences (WMDs) were calculated using random-effects models. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses assessed outcome variations based on intervention types, maternal BMI categories, and other factors. Results: Maternal obesity was significantly associated with adverse outcomes. For pregnancy weight gain, dietary and exercise interventions showed a pooled effect size of 0.75 (95% CI: 0.60–0.90), with low heterogeneity (I² = 20%). GDM management reduced adverse fetal growth outcomes (0.85, 95% CI: 0.70–1.00; I² = 25%). Neonatal outcomes, including preterm birth and NICU admissions, improved with a pooled effect size 1.20 (95% CI: 1.05–1.35), with moderate heterogeneity (I² = 15%). Subgroup analyses revealed intervention-specific benefits, such as supervised exercise improving maternal weight outcomes (0.88, 95% CI: 0.78–0.98; I² = 15%). Conclusion: Maternal obesity raises pregnancy-related risks, but dietary changes and exercise help. Integrating effective interventions into prenatal care is crucial for better outcomes.

This study will look at the impact of cash reserves and company size on corporate value (a case study of coal mining sub-sector businesses listed on the IDX between 2017 and 2022). In this study, 17 coal mining companies listed on the Indonesian stock exchange were chosen using a purposive sample method. This research uses quantitative data. The results of the statistical research indicate that cash reserves have a considerable impact on the value of the enterprises under consideration. This is demonstrated by the t-test results: 2.549 > t-table 1.668, significance 0.014 > 0.05. Thus, it can be determined that Cash Holding influences Company Value. The statistical analysis results indicate that Firm Size significantly influences Company Value in the examined companies. This is demonstrated by the t-value of -1.801 < t-table 1.668 and a significance of 0.078 > at a significance threshold of 0.05. As a result, it is reasonable to conclude that the Cash Holding variable has a large influence on Company Value. Cash reserves and firm size have a significant impact on the value of a firm. The f test confirms this, with a significance level of 0.021 < 0.05 and an f-value of 4.182 < f-table 3.134. This is demonstrated by the R Square value of 0.154, or 15.4%, with the remaining 84.6% influenced or clarified by parameters not examined in this study, such as Net Profit Margin, Return On Assets, and Debt To Equity Ratio.

Published: February 2025

Berdasarkan data dari Transparency Internasional for Indonesia (2023) dan Badan Pusat Statistik Indonesia (2024), menyatakan bahwa CPI atau Indeks Persepsi Korupsi negara Indonesia turun sebesar 0,07 poin dari 3,96 di 2023 menjadi 3,89 pada 2024.  Praktik  korupsi di Indonesia sendiri sudah mengakar, sistematis, kolektif dan berevolusi bentuk dan rupanya. Pada penelitian ini, peneliti berusaha untuk melihat persepsi korupsi masyarakat Indonesia pada saat ini dengan pengaruh budaya kolektif dan dimediasi oleh gaya pengambilan keputusan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif model mediasi (N = 120) dengan menyebarkan survei online. Analisis menggunakan tiga alat ukur berdasarkan CVS Scale dari Yoo (2016), GDMS oleh Baiocco, dkk (2009), dan CPS Scale dari Vieire, dkk (2022). Variabel kolektif (β = 0.204, F (1, 118) = 47.93, p = < 0.05), persepsi dan tipe pengambilan (β = 0.853, F (1, 118) = 85.15, p = < 0.05) dapat memprediksi satu sama lain. Gaya pengambilan keputusan (β = .137) mampu memediasi hubungan antara kolektif (β = .132) dengan persepsi korupsi. Berdasarkan analisa yang telah dilakukan, kolektif dan gaya pengambilan keputusan hanya mampu menjelaskan 45,9% dari persepsi tentang korupsi. Sehingga, masih banyak faktor yang mendorong praktik korupsi di Indonesia yang dapat dibahas pada penelitian selanjutnya.

Comparative Analysis of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, and the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023
Authors: - Tanmay Pradeep
Published: February 2025

The evolution of India's criminal justice system has culminated in the enactment of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, which supersedes the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1973. This paper provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of these two legislative frameworks, highlighting the significant reforms introduced in the BNSS to address contemporary challenges in criminal jurisprudence. Key areas of transformation include incorporating technological advancements, enhanced procedural efficiency and strengthened safeguards for individual rights. For instance, the BNSS mandates the use of electronic communication for summons and introduces e-FIRs, reflecting a shift towards digital integration in legal processes. Additionally, the BNSS imposes stricter timelines for various stages of the trial process, aiming to expedite justice delivery. However, these reforms also raise concerns regarding the potential erosion of individual rights and constitutional safeguards. This analysis delves into specific provisions, such as the expanded powers of arrest and investigation granted to law enforcement agencies, and assesses their implications for the balance between state authority and personal liberties. By examining these developments, the paper offers insights into the effectiveness of the BNSS in promoting a more just and efficient criminal justice system in India.

Deep Learning for High-Resolution Weather and Weather Prediction
Authors: - Anshika Singh , - Hardik Singh
Published: February 2025

Recent advances in deep learning have opened new avenues in weather forecasting by providing novel methods to enhance prediction accuracy, increase resolution, and capture complex spatiotemporal dependencies inherent in atmospheric phenomena. Traditional numerical weather prediction (NWP) methods, while robust, are computationally expensive and struggle to capture localized extreme events such as heavy rainfall or convective storms. In contrast, deep learning techniques—ranging from convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) (including LSTM and ConvLSTM variants) to emerging capsule network architectures—offer a data-driven complement to physics-based models. This paper reviews recent progress in the use of deep learning for weather forecasting, discusses methodologies for generating high-resolution forecasts from coarse data (i.e., downscaling), and evaluates approaches for predicting heavy rainfall and extreme weather events. We critically analyze works such as “DeepDownscale: A Deep Learning Strategy for High-Resolution Weather Forecast” [1] and “Deep Learning for Improving Numerical Weather Prediction of Heavy Rainfall” [2], as well as the survey “Survey on the Application of Deep Learning in Extreme Weather Prediction” [3]. We also integrate additional findings from the broader literature [4–20] to present a comprehensive overview. Challenges and opportunities in model interpretability, data assimilation, and computational efficiency are examined, and future research directions are proposed.
Development Of Bamboo Leaf Ash and Calcium Oxide Pellets for Efficient CO₂ Absorption
Authors: - KISHORE
Published: February 2025

The increasing need to mitigate rising atmospheric CO₂ levels has driven the development of innovative and sustainable carbon capture methods. This study investigates the potential of bamboo leaf ash, calcium oxide (CaO), and sodium silicate as a composite material for efficient CO₂ absorption. Bamboo leaf ash, derived from agricultural waste and thermally activated at 600°C, serves as a silica-rich, porous support material. Calcium oxide, a highly reactive chemical absorbent, facilitates CO₂ capture via carbonation, while sodium silicate acts as a binder, enhancing pellet stability and structural integrity. Experimental results from two absorption cycles revealed remarkable performance. In both the first and second cycles, the composite pellets achieved an average CO₂ absorption efficiency of 80%, demonstrating high reactivity and reusability. Structural characterization indicated a well-formed silica-rich network in the bamboo leaf ash, contributing to enhanced surface area and improved CO₂ interaction. The presence of sodium silicate not only stabilized the pellets but also supported the retention of absorption capacity across cycles. This research highlights the synergistic effects of combining bamboo leaf ash, CaO, and sodium silicate for sustainable and efficient CO₂ capture. The findings underscore the material's potential for scalability and cost-effectiveness, positioning it as a viable candidate for industrial carbon capture applications. Future studies will focus on improving pellet regeneration and optimizing performance for real-world emission sources.
Stutter Voice in Writing: Rethinking Dysfluency
Authors: Meyer Craig A.
Published: February 2025

One’s voice is partly a marker of one’s authorial personality. Voice is both metaphorical and rhetorical. Further, the concept of voice embodies one’s cognitive and auditory representation of oneself. Voice articulates an ethotic narrative, of sorts, that offers insight into the storyteller. I stutter. I have for as long as I can remember. My internal dialogue has to accommodate my outward voice, which can be dysfluent and haphazard. My voice, and yours too, carries with it personality and experience. The latter can be a burden. However, it is true to who we are. Our voice carries hopes and dreams, fears and ambitions. It can freeze us or free us.
The Ethos of Narrative: Telling/Writing, Listening/Reading, Communication, and Caring
Authors: Schweickart Patrocinio
Published: February 2025

My main research interest lies in the field of theories of reading and reader-response. Being a feminist scholar, I am also interested in research in all fields that show how the perspectives and experiences of women can bring to light important aspects that have been obscured or underestimated by prevailing androcentric theories. Specifically, I argue that there is a connection between reading and the ethic of care which feminist scholars have found in the moral deliberations of women, and that this connection has important implications for the social and cultural work done by narratives.
Place-conscious Practices: Understanding Ecological Consciousness through Lakota Wakan
Authors: English Cathie
Published: February 2025

For thirty years, I have studied place and what it means to live in a specific locale. I have learned that to sustain a locale economically, culturally, and spiritually, I also needed to work toward understanding an ecological sustainability. I have to understand an ecosystem; I have to become ecologically conscious. Human beings cannot live consciously or conscientiously in a place without understanding the impact our lives have upon other species in a delicate ecosystem. Without fully understanding why, I began by first investigating a spiritual connection to the land, something poet and writer, Kathleen Norris described as a “spiritual geography.” Conceptualizing a spiritual geography led me to Lakota mythology.
“Embodied Narrative” in Transhumanism: Notes on Emerging Models of Ethos
Authors: Baumlin James S.
Published: February 2025

It is a Western rhetorical model that Martin Hollis addresses in the epigraph above, and it’s from within that version of the “categorial self” that my own comments proceed. I am, by training, an historian of rhetoric whose research has focused on classical models of ethos and their postclassical advancements. Our transit through antiquity to the 21st century is marked, in large part, by a gathering up of rights, roles, and affordances, each pressuring the “category of the person” (Mauss). These have granted (to some people at least, some of the time) rights of self-possession (separating citizens from slaves); rights of class, inheritance, and occupation (establishing medieval castes and aristocratic privilege); rights of privacy and private possession (preconditions both of individualism and early-modern capitalism); rights of citizenship within modern nation-states (a precondition of capitalist expansion and colonialism); and, much later in Western society, rights pertaining to gender (including suffrage and bodily self-possession/control).
