Authors: Fiala Clare , Ragothaman Sowmithree , Johl Gursukhmani , Sabbineni Monica , Wojkowski Sarah , Chan Teresa M.
Published: November 2024

Background: The emergency department (ED) is a challenging fast-paced environment with high-acuity, undifferentiated patients who often require extensive interdisciplinary care. This paper introduces ExpandED, an expansion pack to the serious board game GridlockED, designed to enhance players' understanding of interprofessional collaboration in the ED and the diverse scope of practice of different ED professionals including physicians, residents, registered nurses, registered practical nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists. This investigation evaluates the effectiveness of ExpandED as a teaching tool for medical and allied health professions students about interprofessional collaboration in the ED.

Methods: A program evaluation harnessing a playtest framework was employed. Participants completed pre- and postgame surveys including quantitative measures (e.g., Likert scales) and qualitative free-text feedback that focused on participant familiarity with ED functioning, valuation of interprofessional collaboration before and after playing, and feedback on game usability and effectiveness.

Results: Recruitment was open to students in all health care and allied health professional programs at the institution. Forty-five participants were recruited from medical doctor, nursing, physiotherapy, and speech language pathology programs. ExpandED enhances participants' understanding of ED workflow (p < 0.001) and provides an enjoyable playing experience. However, participants' valuation of interdisciplinary teamwork did not change significantly before and after game play (p = 0.17). Participants expressed satisfaction with the game's accuracy in simulating the ED environment and appreciated the opportunity to collaborate with peers from different disciplines. Challenges reported included some tension among players, potential biases, and limitations of fidelity to a real-life ED.

Conclusions: While this study has limitations regarding participant sampling and duration of gameplay sessions, it highlights the potential of ExpandED for teaching interprofessional collaboration in the ED. These findings will guide further development to optimize the expansion pack's effectiveness and its implementation into health care curricula.
#OpenAccess: Free online, open-access crowdsource-reviewed publishing is the future; traditional peer-reviewed journals are on the way out
Authors: Jr. John R. Adler , Chan Teresa M. , Blain J. Bruce , Thoma Brent , Atkinson Paul
Published: November 2024

This series of editorials will provide CJEM readers with an opportunity to hear differing perspectives on topics pertinent to the practice of emergency medicine. The debaters have been allocated opposing arguments on topics on which there is some controversy or perhaps scientific equipoise.

We continue with the topic of open-access (OA) publishing. With the switch from paper-based publishing to online journals, in the age of free OA medical education (FOAM), and with most publications being fully or partially funded by public money, whether directly or indirectly through academic salaries, is it time to bring down the paywall and allow free OA to medical publications? Alternatively, is there still a role for the traditional paper-based or limited access online journal, with regular readers, traditional peer-review processes, supported by a combination of subscriptions, advertising, and pay-per-view access? Can we open-up access and still maintain high academic standards? John Adler, the Dorothy and TK Chan Professor, Emeritus at Stanford University, and Editor-in-Chief of Cureus.- com, argues that the future of medical publishing should be open and free, with the team led by Teresa Chan, themselves an academic group highly engaged with FOAM, responding that there remains value in a more traditional approach.

Published: November 2024

 

Consensus methods such as the Delphi and nominal group techniques are increasingly utilized within medical education research. This educator's blueprint paper provides practical strategies regarding five key steps for ensuring best practices when using consensus methods. These strategies include deciding which consensus method is best, developing the initial questionnaire, identifying the participants, determining the number of rounds and consensus threshold, and describing and justifying any modifications. These strategies will help guide education researchers on their next study using consensus methods.

 
Brain versus bot: Distinguishing letters of recommendation authored by humans compared with artificial intelligence
Authors: Preiksaitis Carl , Nash Christopher , Gottlieb Michael , Chan Teresa M. , Alvarez Al'ai , Landry Adaira
Published: November 2024

Objectives: Letters of recommendation (LORs) are essential within academic medicine, affecting a number of important decisions regarding advancement, yet these letters take significant amounts of time and labor to prepare. The use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools, such as ChatGPT, are gaining popularity for a variety of academic writing tasks and offer an innovative solution to relieve the burden of letter writing. It is yet to be determined if ChatGPT could aid in crafting LORs, particularly in high-stakes contexts like faculty promotion. To determine the feasibility of this process and whether there is a significant difference between AI and human-authored letters, we conducted a study aimed at determining whether academic physicians can distinguish between the two.

Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted using a single-blind design. Academic physicians with experience in reviewing LORs were presented with LORs for promotion to associate professor, written by either humans or AI. Participants reviewed LORs and identified the authorship. Statistical analysis was performed to determine accuracy in distinguishing between human and AI-authored LORs. Additionally, the perceived quality and persuasiveness of the LORs were compared based on suspected and actual authorship.

Results: A total of 32 participants completed letter review. The mean accuracy of distinguishing between human- versus AI-authored LORs was 59.4%. The reviewer's certainty and time spent deliberating did not significantly impact accuracy. LORs suspected to be human-authored were rated more favorably in terms of quality and persuasiveness. A difference in gender-biased language was observed in our letters: human-authored letters contained significantly more female-associated words, while the majority of AI-authored letters tended to use more male-associated words.

Conclusions: Participants were unable to reliably differentiate between human- and AI-authored LORs for promotion. AI may be able to generate LORs and relieve the burden of letter writing for academicians. New strategies, policies, and guidelines are needed to balance the benefits of AI while preserving integrity and fairness in academic promotion decisions.
On Lampposts, Sneetches, and Stars: A Call to Go Beyond Bibliometrics for Determining Academic Value
Authors: Chan Teresa M. , Kuehl Damon
Published: November 2024

Academic scholarship is something that we have always sought to quantify. Journal impact factor, CiteScore, h-index, hi-10, and the alternative metrics (Altmetrics) are terms that are familiar to seasoned academics. Junior scholars are often advise to use bibliometric and publication metrics to decide where to send their work. Whether we are talking about journal-level, article-level, or person-level metrics, these are all human constructs that have arisen as ways to quantify the reach and impact of our academic work.
From Utopia Through Dystopia: Charting a Course for Learning Analytics in Competency-Based Medical Education
Authors: Thoma Brent , H. Ellaway Rachel , Chan Teresa M.
Published: November 2024

The transition to the assessment of entrustable professional activities as part of competency-based medical education (CBME) has substantially increased the number of assessments completed on each trainee. Many CBME programs are having difficulty synthesizing the increased amount of assessment data. Learning analytics are a way of addressing this by systematically drawing inferences from large datasets to support trainee learning, faculty development, and program evaluation. Early work in this field has tended to emphasize the significant potential of analytics in medical education. However, concerns have been raised regarding data security, data ownership, validity, and other issues that could transform these dreams into nightmares. In this paper, the authors explore these contrasting perspectives by alternately describing utopian and dystopian futures for learning analytics within CBME. Seeing learning analytics as an important way to maximize the value of CBME assessment data for organizational development, they argue that their implementation should continue within the guidance of an ethical framework.

Conflict prevention, conflict mitigation, and manifestations of conflict during emergency department consultations
Authors: Chan Teresa M. , Bakewell Francis , Orlich Donika , Sherbino Jonathan
Published: November 2024

Objectives: The objective was to determine the causes of and mitigating factors for conflict between emergency physicians and other colleagues during consultations.

Methods: From March to September 2010, a total of 61 physicians (31 residents and 30 attendings from emergency medicine [EM], internal medicine, and general surgery) were interviewed about how junior learners should be taught about emergency department (ED) consultations. During these interviews, they were asked if and how conflict manifests during the ED consultation process. Two investigators reviewed the transcripts independently to generate themes related to conflict until saturation was reached. Disagreements were resolved by consensus. The trustworthiness of the analysis was ensured by generating an audit trail, which was subsequently audited by an investigator not involved with the initial analysis. This analysis was compared to previously proposed models of trust and conflict from the sociology and business literature.

Results: All participants recalled some manifestation of conflict. There were 12 negative conflict-producing themes and 10 protective conflict-mitigating themes. When comparing these themes to a previously developed model of the domains of trust, each theme mapped to domains of the model.

Conclusions: Conflict affects the ED consultation process. Areas that lead to conflict are identified that map to previous models of trust and conflict. This work extends the current understanding about intradisciplinary conflict in the clinical realm. These new findings may improve the understanding of the nature of conflicts that occur and form the foundation for interventions that may decrease conflict during ED consultations.
Six Principles for Developing Leadership Training Ecosystems in Health Care
Authors: Chan Teresa M. , Winters Richard C. , Chen Ruth , Lal Sarrah
Published: November 2024

Leadership education in medicine is evolving to better meet the challenges of health care complexity, interprofessional practice, and threats from viruses and budget cuts alike. In this commentary, the authors build upon the findings of a scoping review by Matsas and colleagues, published in the same issue, and ask us to imagine what a learning ecosystem around leadership might look like. They subsequently engage in their own synthesis of leadership development literature and propose 6 key principles for medical educators and health care leaders to consider when designing leadership development within their educational ecosystems: (1) apply a conceptual framework; (2) scaffold development-oriented approaches; (3) accommodate individual levels of adult development; (4) integrate diversity of perspective; (5) interweave theory, practice, and reflection; and (6) recognize the broad range of leadership conceptualization.

Authors: Kruse Colin , Gouveia Kyle , Thornley Patrick , Yan James R. , McCarthy Colm , Chan Teresa M. , Kishta Waleed , Khanna Vickas
Published: November 2024

Background

COVID-19 has had a tremendous impact on medical education. Due to concerns of the virus spreading through gatherings of health professionals, in-person conferences and rounds were largely cancelled. The purpose of this study is the evaluate the implementation of an online educational curriculum by a major Canadian orthopaedic surgery residency program in response to COVID-19.

Methods

A survey was distributed to residents of a major Canadian orthopaedic surgery residency program from July 10th to October 24th, 2020. The survey aimed to assess residents’ response to this change and to examine the effect that the transition has had on their participation, engagement, and overall educational experience.

Results

Altogether, 25 of 28 (89%) residents responded. Respondents generally felt the quality of education was superior (72%), their level of engagement improved (64%), and they were able to acquire more knowledge (68%) with the virtual format. Furthermore, 88% felt there was a greater diversity of topics, and 96% felt there was an increased variety of presenters. Overall, 76% of respondents felt that virtual seminars better met their personal learning objectives. Advantages reported were increased accessibility, greater convenience, and a wider breadth of teaching faculty. Disadvantages included that the virtual sessions felt less personal and lacked dynamic feedback to the presenter.

Conclusions

Results of this survey reveal generally positive attitudes of orthopaedic surgery residents about the transition to virtual learning in the setting of an ongoing pandemic. This early evaluation and feedback provides valuable guidance on how to grow this novel curriculum and bring the frontier of virtual teaching to orthopaedic education long-term.

Background Errors in reasoning are a common cause of diagnostic error. However, it is difficult to improve performance partly because providers receive little feedback on diagnostic performance. Examining means of providing consistent feedback and enabling continuous improvement may provide novel insights for diagnostic performance.

Methods We developed a model for improving diagnostic performance through feedback using a six-step qualitative research process, including a review of existing models from within and outside of medicine, a survey, semistructured interviews with individuals working in and outside of medicine, the development of the new model, an interdisciplinary consensus meeting, and a refinement of the model.

Results We applied theory and knowledge from other fields to help us conceptualise learning and comparison and translate that knowledge into an applied diagnostic context. This helped us develop a model, the Diagnosis Learning Cycle, which illustrates the need for clinicians to be given feedback about both their confidence and reasoning in a diagnosis and to be able to seamlessly compare diagnostic hypotheses and outcomes. This information would be stored in a repository to allow accessibility. Such a process would standardise diagnostic feedback and help providers learn from their practice and improve diagnostic performance. This model adds to existing models in diagnosis by including a detailed picture of diagnostic reasoning and the elements required to improve outcomes and calibration.

Conclusion A consistent, standard programme of feedback that includes representations of clinicians’ confidence and reasoning is a common element in non-medical fields that could be applied to medicine. Adapting this approach to diagnosis in healthcare is a promising next step. This information must be stored reliably and accessed consistently. The next steps include testing the Diagnosis Learning Cycle in clinical settings.

Published: November 2024

Purpose: These authors sought to define the new roles and competencies required of administrative staff and faculty in the age of CBME.

Method: A modified Delphi process was used to define the new CBME roles and competencies needed by faculty and administrative staff. We invited international experts in CBME (volunteers from the ICBME Collaborative email list), as well as faculty members and trainees identified via social media to help us determine the new competencies required of faculty and administrative staff in the CBME era.

Results: Thirteen new roles were identified. The faculty-specific roles were: National Leader/Facilitator in CBME; Institutional/University lead for CBME; Assessment Process & Systems Designer; Local CBME Leads; CBME-specific Faculty Developers or Trainers; Competence Committee Chair; Competence Committee Faculty Member; Faculty Academic Coach/Advisor or Support Person; Frontline Assessor; Frontline Coach. The staff-specific roles were: Information Technology Lead; CBME Analytics/Data Support; Competence Committee Administrative Assistant.

Conclusions: The authors present a new set of faculty and staff roles that are relevant to the CBME context. While some of these new roles may be incorporated into existing roles, it may be prudent to examine how best to ensure that all of them are supported within all CBME contexts in some manner.
Mixed Messages or Miscommunication? Investigating the Relationship Between Assessors' Workplace-Based Assessment Scores and Written Comments
Authors: Sebok-Syer Stefanie S. , Klinger Don A. , Sherbino Jonathan , Chan Teresa M.
Published: November 2024

Purpose: The shift toward broader, programmatic assessment has revolutionized the approaches that many take in assessing medical competence. To understand the association between quantitative and qualitative evaluations, the authors explored the relationships that exist among assessors' checklist scores, task ratings, global ratings, and written comments.

Method: The authors collected and analyzed, using regression analyses, data from the McMaster Modular Assessment Program. The data were from emergency medicine residents in their first or second year of postgraduate training from 2012 through 2014. Additionally, using content analysis, the authors analyzed narrative comments corresponding to the "done" and "done, but needs attention" checklist score options.

Results: The regression analyses revealed that the task ratings, provided by faculty assessors, are associated with the use of the "done, but needs attention" checklist score option. Analyses also identified that the "done, but needs attention" option is associated with a narrative comment that is balanced, providing both strengths and areas for improvement. Analysis of qualitative comments revealed differences in the type of comments provided to higher- and lower-performing residents.

Conclusions: This study highlights some of the relationships that exist among checklist scores, rating scales, and written comments. The findings highlight that task ratings are associated with checklist options while global ratings are not. Furthermore, analysis of written comments supports the notion of a "hidden code" used to communicate assessors' evaluation of medical competence, especially when communicating areas for improvement or concern. This study has implications for how individuals should interpret information obtained from qualitative assessments.

Authors: Chan Teresa M. , Wallner Clare , Sneath Paula , Singh Chad , Wakeling Sonja , Huang Simon , Mercuri Mat , Pardhan Alim
Published: November 2024

Background: Funding for educational innovations is increasingly scarce in academic medicine. While there is some funding for medical education research, this is often for discovery or application work, and there are few avenues for those with a heavy innovation focus to fund early work.

Objective of the innovation: The objective was to develop an intrapreneurial unit focused on medical education projects and scholarship.

Development process and implementation: The GridlockED and TriagED games are educational or serious games that seek to teach health care learners about emergency medicine processes. Both games were cocreated with learners and brought to market in the past 3 years. All of the proceeds from the sales of these games have been accrued over time to create a new innovation fund. This fund seeks to support trainees and early career educators in their medical education projects.

Outcomes: Sales for GridlockED began in March 2018 and the TriagED began in November 2019. In the first year, sales for GridlockED yielded a total of $9,534. After 18 months of sales, the fund has accrued a total of $14,530. The fund has helped finance the development of new games. Additionally, the fund awarded two internal $500 Kickstarter grants to assist with evaluating and improving two local education projects. The GridlockED and TriagED games have also spurred multiple academic opportunities for junior educators interested in this domain: five workshops, eight conference abstracts, two peer-reviewed papers, and two research protocols are being developed.

Conclusions: The GridlockED and TriagED games represent a new academically oriented, intrapreneurial approach to medical education work.

Published: November 2024

Background Residents are being asked to perform educator roles such as curriculum design and learner assessment with minimal professional development in leadership or medical education. The Multidisciplinary Academic Day (MAD) planning committee is a resident-led initiative responsible for delivering combined educational half-day sessions and workshops for all residents at McMaster University. Objective We sought to determine the impact participation in MAD planning committee had on residents' professional development and career goals. Methods We conducted a program evaluation survey of 19 of 30 (63.3%) current and former committee members to determine how the MAD planning committee's alumni perceived its usefulness, and how participation affected their professional development. Results Residents cited a desire to gain medical education experience, learn about event planning and management, and improve resident education as reasons for joining the committee; 89.5% of respondents felt they had met these goals. Experience on the committee included skills related to curriculum design, developing needs assessments and programmatic evaluation. Many residents felt it helped them acquire leadership skills such as decision-making, idea generation, delegation, and public speaking. Several noted that it had sparked an interest in medical education as part of an academic career, and one former member subsequently pursued a Master's of Education. The majority of the respondents (78.9%) felt it was helpful for their careers and 94.7% would recommend this experience to others interested in leadership and medical education. Conclusion Involvement in the MAD planning committee is a highly useful way for residents to acquire leadership skills, develop an interest in medical education and work in a multidisciplinary team.

Published: November 2024

Mangrove forest ecosystems are known to sequester large quantities of carbon, becoming a significant carbon source when disturbed. This paper presents a quantification in aboveground (standing trees, palm, shrub, standing dead trees, downed wood and litter), belowground (root and soil) and ecosystem carbon stocks in mangrove forests along the Carigara Bay in Leyte, Philippines. The carbon stocks in the different mangrove forest types (fringe and riverine) and zones (landward, middleward, and seaward/along water) were compared. Further, the relationship between environmental factors (eg, interstitial soil salinity, soil water content and soil depth) and ecosystem carbon stocks was examined. The study yielded an ecosystem carbon stock of 558.02±51.13Mg ha-1, partitioned into aboveground and belowground carbon stocks of 251.96±31.08 and 306.06±28.50Mg ha-1, respectively. The ecosystem carbon stocks of the riverine (805.89±80.57Mg ha-1) greatly exceeded that of the fringe mangrove forests (310.15±24.59Mg ha-1). In general, biomass and soil both store a similar proportion of carbon, corresponding to 57% and 43%, respectively. In addition, regression analysis revealed that soil depth was a reasonable predictor of ecosystem carbon stocks, whereby increasing ecosystem carbon stocks were associated with deeper soil deposits. Overall, the study’s results highlight the exceptionally high amount of carbon stored in the mangrove ecosystems, indicating their potential role in climate change mitigation.

Published: November 2024

The rapid development of digital technology requires teachers, especially Guru Penggerak, to have multiliteracy competencies in utilizing technology as a learning aid. This competency includes the ability to understand, share, and apply various information formats in written, visual, and digital form. However, until now, the development of artificial intelligence (AI)-based training modules that support this competency is still limited. This study aims to design and evaluate the effectiveness of training modules designed to improve the multiliteracy competence of Guru Penggerak in Kuningan City, Indonesia. This research uses the ADDIE process development paradigm - analysis, product design, product development, product implementation, and evaluation. The feasibility level of the training module is determined by the assessment of material experts with an average score of 3.5 in the feasible category, as well as media experts who give an average score of 3.2 in the feasible category. Around 61.26% of survey respondents to the survey of 50 Guru Penggerak stated that it was very feasible based on the results of the feasibility test. Based on the results of the pre and post-tests conducted during the program, the multiliteracy ability of the Guru Penggerak increased quite significantly. Before the test, the average score was 57.44; After the test, the average score was 83.6. Statistical analysis of the paired sample t-test showed that there was a significant difference (p<0.05) between the pre-test and post-test scores. Based on the results of this study, this Gemini AI-based training module is feasible and effective in improving the multiliteracy competence of Guru Penggerak in Kuningan City. Recommendations are given for the improvement of modules and advanced training that further supports the improvement of teacher professionalism in the digital era.

Authors: Huang Xuxin , Liu Weiqi
Published: November 2024

This study explores how to effectively integrate ideological and political education (IPE) within public management courses. Using "Market Research and Forecasting" as a case study, it offers a comprehensive framework for a systematic course design. Ideological and political education, as a central component of educational reform, aims to transcend traditional knowledge transmission by nurturing students' social responsibility, cultural identity, and moral integrity. In doing so, it supports the educational objective of "fostering virtue through education." This paper introduces a "four-dimensional integration model", which includes cultural embedding, case comparison, situational simulation, and project-driven learning to facilitate a meaningful fusion of ideological education with professional curricula. Drawing on a literature review, instructional case analysis, and course outcome evaluations, the study validates the model’s effectiveness and its impact on students' development of cultural, ethical, and social responsibility. Findings demonstrate that the integration of IPE into public management education not only strengthens students' professional skills but also fosters the moral framework essential for ethical public service, contributing to the cultivation of public management professionals who embody both technical acumen and strong moral principles.

Masyarakat perkotaan semakin mampu menciptakan rumah layak huni. Rumah harus didesain senyaman mungkin, selain harus berkualitas baik, juga harus mencerminkan status sosial pemiliknya. Rumah mewah bergaya klasik yang sering terlihat di perkotaan memiliki desain yang sangat khas dengan tiang-tiang tinggi di dalamnya, dan awalnya diadopsi dari arsitektur kuno pada zaman Romawi, kemudian diadaptasi ke bangunan tempat tinggal.  Di masa ketika segala sesuatunya mewah dan semuanya minimalis dan sederhana, gaya neoklasik ini sangat berbenturan dengan gambaran modern tersebut. Banyak kelompok masyarakat yang ingin membuktikan status sosial mereka dengan mengadopsi gaya modern yang tidak sekompleks neoklasik. Namun memiliki kesan mewah dan memberikan kesan yang sangat mewah. Inilah pertanyaan desain mengapa satu tema tetap mengadopsi kompleksitas, sementara ada tren lain yang lebih sederhana, namun tetap terlihat mewah dan berkelas, serta tidak menurunkan status sosialnya. Fenomena penekanan status sosial yang diterapkan pada bangunan dan interior saat ini sangat beragam. Sangat menarik untuk mengangkat kaitannya dengan fenomena gaya hidup sosial masyarakat kelas atas yang sangat banyak tercermin pada objek-objek yang ada dan menjadi topik yang bisa dibicarakan lebih lanjut dengan menyerahkan seluruh tanggung jawab pada desain yang ada. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif deskriptif, untuk melakukan penelitian ini perlu dilakukan beberapa tahap pendekatan penelitian. Kehadiran bangunan neoklasik yang banyak mengadopsi arsitektur Romawi dan Yunani sebenarnya merupakan cerminan status sosial masyarakat kelas atas yang selalu ingin terlihat berarsitektur bagus. Hal ini sesuai dengan hakikat kehidupan bermasyarakat. Bangunan dengan massa bangunan yang besar dan tiang-tiang hiasan yang megah ini sangat unik dan menarik serta akan menarik minat banyak orang. Di era modernisasi sekalipun, gaya neoklasik yang bertahan lama tetap memiliki nilai tambah tersendiri, terutama pada gaya hidup kelas atas, di mana bangunan neoklasik mencerminkan status sosialnya yang tinggi, dapat benar-benar ditampilkan.

During pregnancy and before delivery, this fear often occurs in pregnant women. Anxiety is a feeling of worry, such as fear or uncertainty, as well as an unclear personal emotional condition about specific objects. The incidence of anxiety for primigravida mothers is 66.2% compared to multigravida mothers, which is 42.2%. Feelings of anxiety during pregnancy will have a negative impact on the growth and development of the fetus. Prenatal yoga helps the mind focus on pregnant women in regulating breathing techniques and provides comfort, security, calm and relaxation. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of prenatal yoga in reducing the anxiety of pregnant women facing childbirth. The research design used was an experiment, purposive sampling with a sample of 32 third-trimester pregnant women—direct data collection using the STAI questionnaire instrument. The research results were analyzed using the Wilcoxson test. The results showed that all respondents experienced a decrease in their level of anxiety from moderate to mild after doing prenatal yoga. The results of the analysis obtained the value of Asymp.Sig. (2-tailed) 0.000 <0.05, meaning there is a correlation between the effectiveness of prenatal yoga in reducing anxiety for pregnant women facing labour. In conclusion, the study's results found that prenatal yoga can reduce the anxiety of pregnant women. Mothers should routinely do prenatal yoga so they do not experience anxiety during pregnancy.

Parijoto (Medinilla speciosa), a typical plant from Indonesia, contains flavonoid compounds as antioxidants. It is able to depigment skin by inhibiting tyrosinase activity during melanogenesis, or melanin formation. Melanogenesis occurs through UV light exposure; it stimulates ROS production and triggers the formation of free radicals and melanogenesis. If not prevented, it will have negative impacts on health. Currently, there is no further research regarding the existence of flavonoid compound derivatives found in parijoto fruit. The aim of this research is to initially identify potential flavonoid derivative compounds as tyrosinase inhibitors using in silico methods. The results can be used as an initial reference for making products based on natural ingredients with minimal side effects. This research uses a bioinformatics approach with the molecular docking method of ligands towards proteins. The stages in this research include: downloading and preparing receptors and ligands; docking with Autodock Vina; visualization of results with Biovia Discovery Studio; data analysis; and discussion. The analysis is carried out by looking at the affinity energy values and complex conformation between the receptor-ligand. The results show flavonoid derivative compounds have the potential to act as tyrosinase inhibitors, as proven by compounds interactions with the active site of tyrosinase to produce the amino acid residues phenylalanine, proline, asparagine, arginine, and histamine. Produce respective affinity energy values, namely -8.9; -7.7; -7.6; -7.5; -7.5; and 7.4 kcal/mol for chalcone, catechin, flavonol, flavanol, flavone, and flavonone compounds. Meanwhile, the comparison compound used is kojic acid, with an affinity energy of -5.5 kcal/mol.

Child growth trends are used to compare weight gain and body length or height with
standard weight gain and body length or height gain. Based on data from the 2021
Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI) in North Sumatra Province in Madina
Regency. The prevalence of stunted children (TB/U) is 47.7%. Based on 2018
Riskesdas survey data in North Sumatra Province in Madina Regency. The prevalence
of stunted children (TB/U) is 17.3%. Determine the trend in achieving nutritional status
aged 0-23 months based on the TB/U index against the 2019-2022 Median Line in
Madina Regency (Secondary Data Analysis). The method used in this research is
secondary data. Secondary data is data obtained through relevant agencies in the form of
documents or references related to the problem being studied. The data source in this
research is e-PPGBM data in Madina Regency from 2019 to 2022. Results in the graph
of male and female toddlers, the z-score of female toddlers is closer to the median line.
A line graph goes up and down (zigzag) on the male line graph, which could cause

The 3rd Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) is to guarantee healthy lives and to
promote well-being. Reducing the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) to 70 per 100,000
live births is one of the SDG's primary metrics. In Indonesia, 74.1% of expectant
mothers had at least four antenatal care (ANC) appointments in 2018, while 70.67% of
mothers finished six ANC visits in 2022. The percentage was 74.92% in East Java,
while the coverage in Nganjuk Regency decreased slightly from 79.90% in 2017 to
77.92% in 2019. The purpose of this research was to examine the moderating variables
and the impact of pregnancy risk sign information on ANC use compliance. The study
included all 53 pregnant women in the community and used a quantitative, cross-
sectional, analytic correlation design. Total sampling, questionnaires, MCH books, and
observation sheets were used as data-collecting techniques. A study of binary logistic
regression was used. According to the findings, there was no discernible impact of
schooling on ANC compliance (p = 0.546). ANC compliance was, however,
substantially correlated with knowledge (p = 0.050; PR = 7.099), gestational age (p =
0.005; PR = 0.023), parity (p = 0.020; PR = 0.089), and information (p = 0.029; PR =
0.051). Notably, ANC adherence was seven times more impacted by knowledge level.
Six ANC visits must be completed to identify and avoid issues early on, which
emphasizes the need to raise pregnant women's knowledge in order to increase
compliance.
