Published: April 2024

A validated instrument is crucial for assessing oncology nursing care in Indonesia. This study focused on translating, adapting, and validating the QONCS among Indonesian cancer patients and families. Initial feedback from nursing academicians and pilot participants guided the adaptation process. Validation involved distributing the instrument via Google Forms to 8 cancer referral hospitals, gathering responses from 148 individuals. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) assessed validity, while Cronbach's alpha measured internal consistency. Synonyms and examples were added to enhance item clarity. Eight items were removed due to poor construct validity, resulting in improved statistics (r statistic: 0.653-0.818; average variance extracted: 0.742). The revised instrument demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach's alpha: 0.967). This study confirms the Indonesian QONCS version as a valid and reliable tool for evaluating oncology nursing care. It is recommended for oncology nurses to utilize the QONCS to enhance the quality of care provided.

Published: April 2024

Students who gather and do not pay attention to health protocols can be evidence of their low compliance with implementing health protocols. University students, particularly those who come from health faculties, are considered change agents in implementing health protocols. Thus, it is necessary to examine their motivation and attitude toward implementing health protocols. This study aimed to determine the relationship between self-protective motivation and compliance with the nursing students' health protocol. The study was carried out with 253 undergraduate nursing students selected through cluster sampling with a cross-sectional design. The results showed that most of the students complied with the health protocols; some already had motivations related to self-protective motivation against COVID-19 and some already had a positive attitude towards the health protocol. There is a significant relationship between self-protection motivation and compliance with the nursing student health protocol (p-value = 0.000). However, nursing students must increase self-protective motivation and positive attitudes by increasing their understanding and confidence in the dangers of COVID-19 to encourage their obedience to health protocols. More studies need to be conducted to investigate the causes of student non-compliance in implementing health protocols, especially in the campus environment.

Published: April 2024

Porin messenger RNA (mRNA) expression significantly influences porin permeability and reduces antibiotic penetration. Klebsiella pneumoniae has developed resistance to several antibiotics. Decreased expression levels of OmpK35 and OmpK36 porins result in changes in the porin profile and even functional loss of porins. This research aimed to analyze the relative expression of the outer membrane porins, OmpK35 and OmpK36. The research methodology involved MIC assays and quantification of OmpK35 and OmpK36 mRNA using RT-qPCR. The relative expression of OmpK35 and OmpK36 in clinical isolate K. pneumoniae is 0.8925 and 0.5877, respectively. The porin permeability of OmpK35/K36 mRNA positively correlated with the MIC values of OmpK35 (p-value = 0.029) and OmpK36 (p-value = 0.016), respectively.

Authors: Natsir Taufik Abdillah , Pamungkas Alam Reformasi Putra , Aprilita Nurul Hidayat
Published: April 2024

The modification of TiO2 using rare earth oxide (La2O3) to increase the photodegradation activity of TiO2 under visible light has been conducted. The goal of this research is to identify the influence of La2O3 on the TiO2 to the photocatalytic activity of TiO2. The mixed oxide of TiO2/La2O3 was prepared using the precipitation method. The as-prepared catalyst was then calcined at 923 K. The photocatalyst was characterized using SRUV, XRD, FTIR, and SEM-EDX. The results showed that the photocatalyst activity of TiO2/La2O3-923 under visible light in the degradation of methylene blue was higher than pristine TiO2. The decrease in bandgap energy of TiO2/La2O3-923 from 3.2 eV to 3.01 eV was not the main factor in the increase of photocatalytic activity of TiO2/La2O3-923. The optimum condition of photodegradation of MB was obtained when the ratio of TiO2/La2O3 was 5, the concentration of MB was 10 ppm, the reaction time was 300 min, and the mass of the photocatalyst was 0.25 g. The reusability of TiO2/La2O3-923 was stable up to 3 sequent runs with the MB photodegradation of more than 90%. The mechanistic study of the mixed oxide TiO2/La2O3 showed that the hydroxyl radical played an important role in its high photocatalytic.

Authors: Pambudi Wisnu , Haryadi Winarto , Matsjeh Sabirin , Anwar Chairil
Published: April 2024

This study aimed to investigate the potential of hydroxy chalcone and flavone derivatives as inhibitors of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) with anticancer properties. Molecular docking simulations were conducted using Autodock Tools 1.5.6 and Discovery Studio visualizer. The EGFR protein structure with the PDB code 1M17 was utilized as the receptor, explicitly targeting the binding pocket. Redocking of the reference ligand erlotinib yielded a binding energy of -7.51 kcal mol-1 with an RMSD of 0.54 Å, confirming the accuracy of the docking protocol. The hydroxy chalcone and flavone derivatives exhibited binding energies ranging from -6.50 to -7.67 kcal mol-1 when interacting with the EGFR protein. Among the studied compounds, compound 2',5'-dihydroxy-3,4-dimethoxychalcone (1g) displayed the lowest binding energy. Interactions involving amino acids such as Met769, Ala719, Thr766, Lys721, and Glu738 were identified as crucial hydrogen bonding interactions between the ligands and the EGFR protein. These findings suggest that 2',5'-dihydroxy-3,4-dimethoxychalcone holds strong potential as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, positioning it as a promising candidate for further development as an anticancer agent. The outcomes of the computational analysis conducted through the pkCSM online platform indicated that the chemical 2',5'-dihydroxy-3,4-dimethoxychalcone had favorable pharmacokinetic characteristics and showed low toxicity levels.

Published: April 2024

This research aimed to investigate how the addition of silver and sulphur dopants modified the TiO2 photocatalyst to enhance its responsiveness to visible light and improve its photocatalytic activity for methylene blue degradation. In addition, Fe3O4 was also added as a core to add magnetic properties to the photocatalyst material. The Fe3O4/TiO2-Ag/S materials were prepared using FeCl3.6H2O and FeSO4.7H2O as the magnetite precursors, titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) as the TiO2 precursor, while AgNO3 and CH4N2S were used as the sources for silver and sulphur dopants, respectively. The synthesized materials were next characterized using FT-IR, XRD, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, SEM-EDX, TEM, and VSM. The activity of the photocatalyst was then assessed through methylene blue degradation in a closed reactor involving various contained Ag:S ratios and reusability examination. The evaluation of photocatalytic degradation results was performed using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Afterwards, the research findings indicate that the Fe3O4/TiO2-Ag/S was successfully synthesized and exhibited magnetic properties with a saturation magnetization value of 5.33 emu/g. The highest photocatalytic activity (98.21%) was observed in Fe3O4/TiO2-Ag/S (1:1) with a band gap energy value of 2.64 eV under visible light exposure at pH 10, 120 min, 10 mg mass of the photocatalyst, and methylene blue concentration of 5 mgL-1. Furthermore, the Fe3O4/TiO2-Ag/S photocatalyst was known to perform good stability through four reuse cycles.

Infections associated with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) pose a serious risk to the patient’s health due to the high mortality rate of this type of complications. This literature review presents risk factors, microbiology and pathogenesis, as well as the rationale and evidence for the use of antibiotic-releasing envelopes in patients with an increased risk of infectious complications. As a preventive measure, envelopes for implantable cardiac devices with antimicrobial impregnation are used, which have been developed to reliably hold devices in place, provide a stable environment and reduce the risk of infectious complications. Since it is believed that most infections occur during cardiac devices implantation, these covers have become an effective method of prevention. New technologies of the envelopes promise to reduce the CIED pocket infection rate. Preclinical and clinical data confirm the effectiveness of local antibiotic delivery through synthetic shells or ICS shells based on intracellular matrix, eluting rifampicin/minocycline and gentamicin, respectively. Moreover, the shell of the extracellular matrix usually stimulates tissue remodeling and angiogenesis, thereby minimizing inflammation and promoting bacterial clearance. Given the continued growth in the implantation of cardiac devices and the associated infectious complications, innovative approaches to infection prevention during the implantation of arrhythmological devices are crucial.

Published: April 2024

The article describes a clinical case of biventricular arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) presented with myocardial infarction (MI) — like event in a young patient. The patient was hospitalized with suspected acute coronary syndrome and an episode of ventricular tachycardia (VT). Based on increased cardiac troponin, left ventricular systolic dysfunction with wall motion abnormalities, and nonobstructive coronary arteries the initial diagnosis of type 2 MI was made. To verify the etiology behind VT and ventricular structural abnormalities cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed. Abnormalities of both right and left ventricles demonstrated by MRI and supported by the genetic testing established the diagnosis of biventricular ACM. Since the diagnosis was made, initially diagnosed MI was reassessed in favor of acute myocardial injury as a characteristic of ACM course. ACM should be included into differential diagnosis with MI and acute myocarditis in patients with elevated troponin and nonobstructive coronary arteries.

Published: April 2024

Social media is becoming a popular channel for influencers to share information and recommendations about investment decisions in the capital market. However, this also creates a risk of misleading advice and investment scams for investors who need more financial literacy. The Indonesia Stock Exchange, social media users, and influencers should collaborate to prevent capital market crime and promote investment education. This study explores the challenges and opportunities of using social media as an alternative to capital market education programs. It also aims to formulate appropriate capital market educational strategies and identify the characteristics of capital market-qualified influencers on social media. We used a qualitative approach with a content analysis method and semi-structured interviews. The research subjects are influencers on social media selected using a purposive sampling method. We propose a strategic management process tailored for effective capital market education through social media based on the research findings. The results of this study provide recommendations for investors to refer to information from qualified influencers and regulators.
HERDING BEHAVIOR IN FINANCIAL MARKET – SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Sibarani Bintang
Published: April 2024

The aim of this research is to present a comprehensive theoretical analysis and provide concrete empirical support pertaining to the phenomenon of herding behavior within financial markets. The current paper can be classified as a literature review, which employed data collection techniques through an extensive survey of existing literature. The body of knowledge accumulated over a span of more than twenty years, consisting of both empirical investigations and theoretical inquiries, has yielded significant insights into the intricate nature of investor herding behavior. However, it is important to acknowledge that the author possesses relatively limited knowledge regarding markets other than capital markets, thereby presenting a constraint in terms of exploring the complexities associated with shifting behavior patterns. Furthermore, the available evidence concerning the existence of following behavior is not particularly compelling. Consequently, this paper advocates for the development and application of an empirical methodology that can effectively address these aforementioned limitations and offer a comprehensive evaluation of herding behavior. Additionally, this study critically examines recent empirical findings in order to identify areas that remain unexplored and require further investigation in future research endeavors.

Capital Structure's Role in Shaping Stock Return Dynamics
Authors: Budi Satoto Eko
Published: April 2024

This study examines the intricate relationships among capital structure, current ratio, return on assets (ROA), long-term debt-to-equity ratio, and stock returns within the property and real estate sector, utilizing a sample of 16 companies. Employing Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), capital structure is introduced as a mediating variable to elucidate its role in the association between the investigated financial metrics and stock returns. Results indicate that neither the current ratio nor ROA significantly influences stock returns, while the long-term debt-to-equity ratio negatively impacts capital structure. Surprisingly, the current ratio exhibits a positive effect on stock returns, while the long-term debt-to-equity ratio shows no significant impact. Notably, capital structure emerges as a positive determinant of stock returns. This study provides a novel perspective by introducing capital structure as a mediator, contributing to the existing body of knowledge. Practical implications suggest that property and real estate investors should consider financial ratios alongside external factors like exchange rates and economic conditions when making investment decisions. However, limitations associated with the study's focus on IDX-listed companies in this sector are acknowledged, necessitating careful interpretation of the findings.

—The work is devoted to the analysis of the geological structure and assessment of the oil and gas potential of the Anabar–Khatanga and Lena–Anabar oil and gas areas (OGA) of the Lena–Tunguska oil and gas province, which are located on the continental margin of the Siberian Platform, on the coast of the Laptev Sea. Administratively, the study area includes the northeastern regions of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the northwest of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the offshore of the Khatanga Bay and the southern, transit part of the Laptev Sea (Khatanga–Lena interfluve). Based on integrated interpretation of geological and geophysical materials, we present regional-zonal models of the geology of the upper Proterozoic–Phanerozoic deposits of the Arctic regions of the Siberian Platform, sets of seismogeological sections, structural and parametric maps, results of structural-tectonic analysis, potential estimates of oil-producing formations; analysis of reservoir properties and types of oil and gas promising objects, and a quantitative assessment of hydrocarbon resources. The study area is of interest in terms of oil and gas potential. In this region, the Central Olgin field was discovered, numerous bitumen, oil and gas shows were noted. A series of oil-producing formations enriched in organic matter occurs in the sedimentary cover, and in the sections of all sedimentary complexes, high-capacity reservoirs are distinguished. There are prerequisites for the formation of both anticlinal and complex oil and gas promising objects. The prospects for the oil and gas potential of the Anabar–Khatanga OGA are mainly associated with Permian terrigenous deposits and Cambrian–Devonian carbonates. In the Lena–Anabar OGA, all upper Proterozoic–Paleozoic sedimentary complexes from the Riphean to the Permian level are of interest in terms of oil and gas potential.

Introduction: Levothyroxine treatment for thyroid hormone disorders, alongside standard Nephrotic Syndrome therapy during nephrotic syndrom relapses, might reduce relapse duration and corticosteroid consumption, despite debates over its necessity. This study explores levothyroxine's potential benefits in patients with frequent relapses and thyroid hormone disorders.
Materials and Methods: This retrospective study investigated children with frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome (FRNS) at ages 1–12 with elevated TSH levels, which have been treated according to IPNA guidelines for FRNS. Patients treated with levothyroxine were considered the levothyroxine group. This study compared outcomes between patients treated with levothyroxine and a control group, examining TSH levels, remission periods, and prognosis.
Results: The mean dose of prednisolone and time to remission were significantly lower in the levothyroxine group compared to the controls (0.51 ± 0.40 versus 0.55 ± 0.50 mg/kg/day; p=0.03 and 6.0 ± 2.17 versus 9.7 ± 2.87 days; p<0.001, respectively). The relapse rate was 1.17 versus 1.53 with an incidence rate ratio of 0.76 (95% CL: 0.46–1.22; p = 0.24). There was a significant difference in the levels of TSH, free thyroxine (FT4), albumin, and creatinine. This significant difference disappeared during remission for albumin but remained significant for TSH and creatinine.
Conclusion: This study suggests that administering levothyroxine during relapses can reduce the time to remission and, consequently, the cumulative dose of prednisolone. However, it does not significantly affect the prevention of future relapses, treatment failure, or steroid toxicity.

Background
About one third of patients with depression are in a condition that can be termed as ‘difficult-to-treat’. Some evidence suggests that difficult-to-treat depression is associated with a higher frequency of childhood trauma and comorbid personality disorders or accentuated features. However, the condition is understudied, and the effects of psychotherapy for difficult-to-treat depression are currently uncertain. The aim of this trial is to investigate the beneficial and harmful effects of 30 sessions of individual schema therapy versus treatment as usual for difficult-to-treat depression in the Danish secondary, public mental health sector.
Methods
In this randomized, multi-center, parallel-group, superiority clinical trial, 129 outpatients with difficult-to-treat depression will be randomized (1:1) to 30 sessions of individual schema therapy or treatment as usual; in this context mainly group-based, short-term cognitive behaviour or psychodynamic therapy. The primary outcome is the change from baseline in depressive symptoms 12 months after randomization, measured on the observer-rated Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression-6. The secondary outcomes are health related quality of life assessed with the European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions 5 Level Version, functional impairment assessed with the Work and Social Adjustment Scale, psychological wellbeing assessed with the WHO-5 Well-being Index, and negative effects of treatment assessed with the Negative Effects Questionnaire. Exploratory outcomes are improvement on patient self-defined outcomes, personal recovery, anxiety symptoms, anger reactions, metacognitive beliefs about anger, and perseverative negative thinking. Outcomes will be assessed at 6, 12, and 24 months after randomization; the 12-month time-point being the primary time-point of interest. Outcome assessors performing the depression-rating, data managers, statisticians, the data safety and monitoring committee, and conclusion makers for the outcome article will be blinded to treatment allocation and results. To assess cost-effectiveness of the intervention, a health economic analysis will be performed.
Discussion
This trial will provide evidence on the beneficial and harmful effects, as well as the cost-effectiveness of schema therapy versus treatment as usual for outpatients with difficult-to-treat depression. The results can potentially improve treatment for a large and understudied patient group.

Photosystem I (PSI) from Fittonia verschaffeltii, an Acanthaceae ornamental plant, is notable among green plants for its red-shifted emission spectrum. Here, we solved the structure of a PSI–light harvesting complex I (LHCI) supercomplex from F. verschaffeltii at 2.46-Å resolution using cryo-electron microscopy. The supercomplex contains a core complex of 14 subunits and an LHCI belt with four antenna subunits (Lhca1–4) similar to previously reported angiosperm PSI–LHCI structures; however, Lhca3 differs in three regions surrounding a dimer of low-energy chlorophylls (Chls) termed red Chls, which absorb far-red beyond visible light. The unique amino acid sequences within these regions are exclusively shared by plants with strongly red-shifted fluorescence emission, suggesting candidate structural elements for regulating the energy state of red Chls. These results provide a structural basis for unravelling the mechanisms of light harvest and transfer in PSI–LHCI of under canopy plants and for designing Lhc to harness longer-wavelength light in the far-red spectral range.
Healthcare Behaviour During a Health Crisis: The Case of Covid-19 in Madagascar

A health crisis can affect the attitude towards healthcare seeking of the population. During the COVID-19 pandemic, two situations arose: people either sought care out of caution and vigilance, or because of the fear of contracting the virus and the health restrictions, they did not consult the healthcare facilities. This paper aims to analyse the effects of a health crisis such as that of COVID-19 on the use of healthcare in Madagascar. Two diseases, diarrhoea and fever, are considered, fever, as it is a common symptom of COVID-19, and diarrhoea, as it is one of the causes of morbidity in Madagascar and a less common symptom of the pandemic. Using data from the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey in 2018 and the Rapid Survey on the Socio-Economic Impact of COVID-19 in Madagascar in 2020 and considering the same individuals surveyed in 2018 and 2020, after verification of the endogeneity, the absence of it was raised. Probit models without instrumental variables are used. During the pandemic, in the case of diarrhoea, faced with the fear of a pandemic, people have sought other alternatives, such as Community Health Workers (CHWs), which is considered less risky than health centres (0.33; p-value = 0.05). In the case of fever, people out of caution, prefer to consult health centres rather than self-medicate (-1.86; p-value = 0.00). People’s behaviour differs according to the symptoms of their illness, diarrhoea being less well-known and less frequent as a symptom of Covid-19 than fever.

Background
Tramadol abuse has become a major public health concern in many countries and Ghana as well. This study was carried out among tricycle drivers (Yeloyelo drivers) in the Tamale metropolis. This study sought to discuss the factors that influence the use of tramadol among tricycle drivers in the Tamale metropolitan area in the Northern Ghana.
Methods
The study employed qualitative approach. Purposive and snowball sampling techniques were used to select six terminal stations and 30 participants were selected from the six tricycle terminals stations in the Tamale Metropolis. 60 participants were also selected for FGDs. The results were analyzed using the Nvivo 10 software.
Results
The results of the study found that majority of the participants were engaged in the use of tramadol, some participants were found using tramadol and other substances such as alcohol mixed energy drinks, tramadol mixed with alcohol and snuffing of moringa powder mixed with cocaine without prescription from a physician. The study revealed that most participants abuse tramadol by taking in unapproved dosages of 500, 250, 200 and 150 (mg) dosages respectively as mentioned by some participants in the interviews conducted.
Conclusion
The study revealed that the three most compelling reasons why tricycle drivers use tramadol are; to energize themselves and become physically active, to relieve pains and peer group pressure. The study equally found the following side effects supporting the use of tramadol. Nausea, road accidents, sleeping while driving, anxiety, aggressiveness and dizziness are possible effects of tramadol use as was mentioned by participants. In addition, respiratory failures, anxiety, depression, aggressiveness, seizures, inattentiveness and inability to focus are equally the side effects of tramadol use among the yeloyelo drivers in the Tamale Metropolis.
Reliability analysis of discrete-time multi-state star configuration power grid systems with performance sharing

Published: April 2024

This paper studies an assessment method for dynamic reliability of a discrete time multi-state star configuration power grid system with performance sharing. The proposed star configuration power grid system consists of n power generation subsystems fixed in star-terminal and one central collection and redistribution subsystem. All-star-terminal power generation subsystems are connected to the central subsystem in a point-to-point manner through their intermediate transmission links. It is assumed that the electric power of each generator and the demand of each star-terminal subsystem are random variables. The star-terminal subsystems with sufficient electric power can first transmit the surplus electric power to the central subsystem, and then the collected electric power in central subsystem is further redistributed to the star-terminal subsystems which are experiencing electric power deficiency through the corresponded transmission links. This paper investigates the dynamic reliability of the proposed power grid system when the demands of all star-terminal subsystems are satisfied after performance sharing. An algorithm based on the universal generating function (UGF) technique is presented to evaluate the dynamic reliability of the proposed power grid system with performance sharing. Finally, a numerical example and a case study are used to illustrate the accuracy of the proposed model and method.
