OBJECTIVE To estimate the incidence and identify risk factors for diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) among young US adults. Research DESIGN and methods We analyzed 142,884 adults aged 18-79 years with self-reported diabetes type from the cross-sectional National Health Interview Survey in 2016-2022, representing the non-institutionalized US civilian population. Incidence of diagnosed T2D was calculated for three age groups: young-adult-onset (18-44 years), middle-age-onset (45-64 years), and older-adult-onset (65-79 years); the latter two groups were included to highlight the distinct risk factor profile of young-adult-onset T2D. Multivariable logistic regressions were used to identify risk factors for young-adult-onset T2D. RESULTS The estimated incidence of diagnosed young-adult-onset T2D was 3.0 per 1000 adults (95% CI 2.6-3.5). Minority groups, socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals, and people with cardiometabolic diseases or psychological conditions had a higher incidence of diagnosed young-adult-onset T2D compared to their counterparts. Lipid-lowering medication use (aOR 13.15, 95% CI 8.85-19.55), antihypertensive medication use (aOR 11.89, 95% CI 7.97-17.73), and obesity (BMI ≥30 vs. <25 kg/m², aOR 10.89, 95% CI 6.69-17.7) were the strongest risk factors for young-adult-onset T2D; these risk factors, along with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and coronary heart disease were more strongly associated with young-adult-onset T2D compared to later-onset T2D, with up to 4.5 times higher aORs. CONCLUSIONS This study quantified the incidence of diagnosed young-adult-onset T2D in US adults and identified its distinct risk factor profile. Targeted prevention strategies for young-adult-onset T2D are needed for minority and socioeconomically disadvantaged people and those with cardiometabolic diseases.
Frailty and Caregiver Challenges
Authors: S Murty Komanduri , E MirizioWheeler
Published: January 2025

Frailty affects the quality of life of older adults by increasing their susceptibility to medical events like falls or illnesses.
The caregiver (carer) of a frail older adult (the “caree”) often deals with challenging changes in the care they provide, e.g.,
additional physical demands, expansion in the number of daily tasks, and an increase in anxiety about the care situation [1-4].
By understanding how caregiving to frail older adults impacts caregivers, adequate resources can be identified and extended
to help caregivers as well as care recipients, to establish better ways to expand the caregiver’s access to resources, and to
provide health and safety tips to mitigate or manage frailty [3,5-7]. This paper aims to discuss frailty associated with aging,
caregiver types, and impact of care for frail individuals on caregivers.

Beyond the Surface: Assessing Anterior Segment OCT- Measured Pterygium Height and its Correlation with Dry Eye Disease
Authors: S Thatte , G Modi , N Yadav
Published: January 2025

Purpose: To correlate the height of pterygium above the ocular surface with dry eye parameters and its association with
severity of dry eye disease.
Methods: The Pterygium grades were determined. Various dry eye evaluation tests like TBUT, Schirmer’s test and the Tear
Meniscus Height were done. The height of the Pterygium was measured with Anterior Segment OCT, by DRI TRITON OCT,
taking a 6 mm and 12 mm diameter radial scan. Patients were grouped according to their grade and height measurement. The
ANOVA test and Pearson coefficient of correlation test was used to investigate the relationship among the Schirmer tests, Tear
Break Up Time, Tear Meniscus Height with the height of pterygium.
Results: Fifty pterygium patients were included in this study. It implies that all variables (Schirmer tests , Tear Meniscus
Height) differs significantly with the Height of pterygium calculated except Tear Break Up Time which is not significant. The
present study verifies the fact that amount of pterygium induced dry eye is directly proportional to Pterygium height above
the ocular surface.
Conclusion: Most of the pterygium patients showed increase in Dry Eye Disease and its severity with increase in pterygium
height.

Published: January 2025

Land degradation can be characterized by a decrease in soil productivity. Jember Regency has the potential to develop food crop commodities. A decrease in soil productivity can be caused by a decrease in soil fertility. The study aims to look at the index and distribution of soil fertility in rice fields in southern Jember. The SFI (soil fertility index) technique was utilized in this study to calculate the soil fertility index. SFI is broken down into multiple parts, including calculating the Minimum Soil Fertility Index (MSFI), weighting, and scoring, which are then incorporated into the SFI calculation. The determination of MSFI is done using principal component analysis (PCA). The results of the MSFI analysis involved spatial mapping using kringing analysis to determine the area distribution of each class. The soil fertility index of the research location ranged from 1.72 to 2.28, with a low-class area of 9,224.19 ha (99.522%) and a very low-class area of 44,266 ha (0.478%). Parameters that influence soil fertility levels include cation exchange capacity, total soil nitrogen, and soil organic carbon, with a cumulative value of 84.8%. Keywords: Kriging interpolation, MSFI, paddy field, soil fertility index, soil mapping.

This research aims to determine the best dose of KCl fertilizer and humic acid for peanut yields. The study was conducted using a split-plot design with two factors, and each factor was repeated three times. The dose of KCl as a subplot consisted of 4 levels (0, 50, 75, and 100 kg/ha), while humic acid as the main plot consisted of 4 levels (0, 10, 20, and 30 kg/ha). Observation included the number of non-productive gynophores, the number of pods, dry weight harvest yield (pods per plant, pods per plot, seeds per plant, and seeds per plot), and the weight of 100 seeds. The single factor of KCl dosage significantly affected the dry weight of pods per plant, dry weight of seeds per plant, and dry weight of seeds per plot. The single factor of humic acid treatment had no significant effect on all observation variables, while the interaction of KCl and humic acid doses significantly affected the number of non productive gynophores and the weight of 100 seeds. The best dosage was 100 kg/ha, producing the highest yield with a dry seed weight per plot of 147.43 g. The combination of KCl 75 kg/ha and humic acid 30 kg/ha produced peanuts with the best quality, with weight 100 seeds of 39.47 g. Keywords: Humic acid, KCl, Peanut, Potassium, Yield.

Uncontrolled and excessive use of groundwater leads to economic, social, and environmental impacts. This study investigated factors influencing the low willingness to utilize piped water. The research was conducted in Duren Sawit Village, East Jakarta. The study focused on the sources of household clean water and the factors affecting the low utilization of piped water. A qualitative research approach was employed through in-depth interviews with key informants selected using purposive sampling, and the problem was analyzed using a fishbone diagram. The study found 81% of households use groundwater, only 9% use piped water, and 10% use both sources. The findings reveal that 25% of the households using piped water still rely entirely on groundwater. The low utilization of piped water was influenced by several factors, including socio-economic conditions, environmental behavior, groundwater quality, performance of PAM Jaya, and groundwater regulations for household usage. Based on the analysis, strategies for accelerating piped water utilization were proposed, including socialization and education on groundwater conservation, quality of groundwater, improvement of PAM Jaya performance, and changes in regulations regarding groundwater use for household. Environmental behavior is identified as the primary factor influencing the high use of groundwater. Several strategies involving stakeholders are necessary to promote the use of piped water among households. Keywords: Environmental behaviour, Ground water, Ground water regulation, Piped water, Socio economic.
Preoperative Findings of Ascites, Liver Involvement, and Pleural Effusion Can Predict Surgical Outcomes in Patients with Advanced Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
Authors: Budiana I. Nyoman Gede , Mahendra I. Nyoman Bayu , Wiraputra Ida Bagus Made Andy
Published: January 2025

Background: Advanced epithelial ovarian cancer has a poor prognosis, where the likelihood of suboptimal debulking surgery (PDS) is a primary cause of postoperative complications and delays in chemotherapy. Accurate diagnosis and efficient management are crucial for improving clinical outcomes in patients. This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of preoperative findings of ascites, liver involvement, and pleural effusion on surgical outcomes in patients with advanced ovarian cancer, as well as to provide additional insights into prognostic factors that may influence treatment strategies.
Methods: This diagnostic study was conducted at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021. A total of 40 patients with advanced ovarian cancer were included in this study, with research variables including findings of ascites, liver involvement, and pleural effusion. Data were collected through medical records and comprehensive preoperative examinations.
Results: Among the total patients, 22 had ascites, 3 showed liver involve- ment, and 15 experienced pleural effusion. Diagnostic tests revealed a sensitivity and specificity of liver involvement for suboptimal PDS of 90.62% and 72.5%, respectively, with a positive predictive value of 100%. In contrast, findings of ascites and pleural effusion had low accuracy, at 45% and 62.5%, respectively, in predicting PDS outcomes. These results indicate that liver involvement is a more reliable indicator for predicting suboptimal PDS outcomes than ascites and pleural effusion.
Conclusion: Liver involvement is a good predictor of suboptimal PDS outcomes, showing potential to assist in preoperative management decisions. Meanwhile, ascites and pleural effusion findings are inconsistent in predict- ing surgical outcomes. This study highlights the importance of thoroughly evaluating these factors before surgical intervention. These findings can aid in the selection of more appropriate preoperative management for patients with advanced ovarian cancer and provide a basis for further research in this area.

Penelitian ini membahas tentang peran media sosial sebagai sarana ataupun alat bagi  masyarakat dalam menyampaikan kritik. Berdasarkan perspektif teori media kritik yang diusulkan oleh Frankfurt School, media itu tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai tempat penyampaian informasi saja, akan tetapi juga berfungsi sebagai agen tertentu yang dapat membantu dan membentuk kesadaran sosial dan politik. Media sosial dianggap sebagai platform yang efektif untuk menyampaikan kritik dan aspirasi masyarakat, karena di media sosial siapapun bisa berkritik tanpa diketahui identitas sekalipun, terutama dalam kegiatan politik yang kompetitif seperti pilkada. Melalui pendekatan studi pustaka serta wawancara dengan beberapa mahasiswa, ditemukan bahwa media sosial memfasilitasi partisipasi politik masyarakat dengan cara menyediakan ruang untuk kritik publik terhadap kandidat. Hasil penelitian yang dilakukan menunjukkan bahwa media sosial menjadi alat yang dapat memengaruhi persepsi atau pandangan politik publik dan membantu masyarakat dalam pengambilan keputusan. Penelitian ini juga berfokus pada bagaimana media sosial meskipun sering sekali menjadi sarana informasi, media sosial tetap berperan penting dalam mengungkapkan suara masyarakat yang tidak terdengar oleh media konvensional.

Authors: Septian Esa , Wulandari Septi
Published: January 2025

This research aims to examine social protection policies in the context of national economic recovery (PEN) due to the impacts of COVID-19. The pandemic has exacerbated the complexities of poverty, inequality, and unemployment. A qualitative study design is employed, gathering data through a literature review of relevant government documents, journals, and news articles, and utilizing the problem structuring method. The findings indicate that social protection policies have not yet had a significant impact. The implementation of the pre-employment card program faces several challenges, including fund misappropriation and inaccurate data submissions. The research offers several policy alternatives: 1) Addressing limitations imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic; 2) The informal sector, being the most economically affected, requires community business stimulus; 3) Ensuring that social protection policies are fully compliant with legal frameworks; 4) Social and skill enhancement initiatives targeting impoverished populations; and 5) Robust social protection grounded in community empowerment. The originality of this research lies in its emphasis on the critical role of the government in implementing equitable, relevant policies with a significant societal impact and a focus on public interest.

Authors: Widyastuti Dhyah Ayu Retno , Wahyuni Hermin Indah
Published: January 2025

Background: Understanding the concept of development communication is necessary. The study of development communication has grown and tends to be dynamic in Africa and Asia. Any communication modifications are crucial, and they can serve as the starting point for the development history. Purpose: The research aimed to develop a new perspective for studying development communication. Methods: The research used a qualitative approach. It analyzed the evolution and history of concepts that developed in the study of development communication in Africa and Asia. The data were collected through a review of literature from various journals, books, and other publications relevant to development communication studies in Africa and Asia. The researchers used a literature review as a methodology, considering that knowledge production is getting faster. Besides, the researchers complemented the study on development communication among Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia’s context. Results: The study showed that development communication is most relevant to developing countries such as Africa and Asia. Based on the best practice of MSME in DIY, the autopoietic system by Niklas Luhmann is essential as an innovative perspective in development communication study. The autopoietic approach emphasizes that the system will produce its components self-creation to reduce complexity. It consists of communication, evolution, and differentiation, which build up the autopoietic system. Conclusion: The logic of the autopoietic system, which negates humans, is still challenging to build awareness of communication significance as the core of development communication, not the actors. Implications: This idea suggests the impact of advancing communication studies, particularly future communication studies development.

Published: January 2025

Medicinal plants’ production systems in Indonesia’s rural Java play a crucial role in sustaining local livelihoods and healthcare needs. Medicinal plants are managed by locals independently based on household preferences and endowments through wild gathering and cultivation-based production systems. However, these situations create a continual problem of weak bargaining positions. Thus, this study aimed to assess local needs and potential in supporting medicinal plants production systems management in Java, Indonesia, with the view to advance local actors' perspectives in a multistakeholder platform. The Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) approach proved useful in incorporating local knowledge in the planning and development of strategies. We implemented PRA techniques, such as problem identification based on a cause-and-effect diagram, group discussion and brainstorming, preference ranking of priority species, and a Venn diagram based on stakeholders' classification. These were carried out with 150 local actors from four villages. Results reveal that Candlenut tree are the preferred species in the wild gathering system, while Javanese turmeric and Broadleaf plantain are preferred in the cultivation-based production systems. Urgent interests include more lucrative gathering and cultivation, a remunerative market, and a reliable local economic institution. The PRA results demonstrate that local actors' involvement is highly required in administering production systems to enhance medicinal plants’ sustainable production and management.
Voices in the Forest: Unraveling REDD+ Discourse and Narratives in the Bale Eco-region, Ethiopia
Authors: Chorito Aklilu Bekele , Assefa Engdawork
Published: January 2025

REDD+ projects are viewed in environmental discourse as a centralized framework to assist ongoing initiatives to stop deforestation and forest degradation and to advance sustainable forest management. This case study captures the intricacy of REDD+ narratives and their practical implications through a qualitative methodology that includes in depth interviews and document analysis. We used snowball sampling to identify participants with diverse perspectives on REDD+ discourses. The interviews were conducted with 25 key informants who represented a variety of stakeholder groups. Discourse analysis was applied to examine contrasting perspectives of ecological modernization and civic environmentalism storylines and narratives on REDD+ implementation. Additionally, it utilized content analysis to explore diverse viewpoints on REDD+ key dimensions and strategic aspects to gain valuable insights from different stakeholder coalitions. We identified three primary discourse coalitions: promoters, moderators, and opponents. The promoters, predominantly consisting of government agencies and international organizations, view REDD+ as a market-driven, technocratic solution to climate change. The moderators, comprise mostly of regional authorities, universities and local institutions, who tend to advocate for a more balanced approach, emphasizing social justice, local empowerment, and sustainable livelihoods. Opponents primarily include the private sector, civil society networks, scholars, indigenous communities and small-scale farmers, express concerns about the potential negative impacts of REDD+, including on land tenure, cultural disruption, and increased inequality. Our analysis reveals the power dynamics at play, with dominant discourses often overshadowing local perspectives. We argue that a more nuanced understanding of these competing narratives is crucial for effective REDD+ implementation. By considering the diverse perspectives of stakeholders and addressing underlying power imbalances, it makes it possible to harness the potential of REDD+ to promote both environmental conservation and social equity in the Bale Eco-region.

Adapting hydrological regionalization techniques to reconstruct rainfall fields in Haiti
Authors: Guerrier Clertine , Gutierrez-Lopez Alfonso
Published: January 2025

The hydroclimatological monitoring network in Haiti was inadequate before 2010 due to a lack of meteorological stations and inconsistent data recording. In the aftermath of the January 2010 earthquake, the monitoring network was reconstructed. In light of the prevailing circumstances and the mounting necessity for hydroclimatological data for water resource management at the national level, it is of paramount importance to leverage and optimize the limited available data to the greatest extent possible. The objective of this research is to develop regional equations that facilitate the transfer of climatic data from climatological stations to locations with limited or absent data. Physiographic and climatological characteristics are used to construct the hydrologic information transfer equations for sites with limited or no data. The validity of the regionalization techniques was assessed using cross-validation. The results enable estimation of hydrological events through the specific patterns of behavior of each region of the country, identified in cartography of homogeneous zones.

Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) continue to pose a significant challenge in regenerative medicine and neuroscience, inflicting severe consequences on affected individuals. This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of sports medicine along with gelatin electrospun scaffolds loaded with green tea extract (GTE) and seeded with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) for SCI repair in a rat model. The electrospun scaffolds were fabricated from GTE-loaded polycaprolactone/gelatin polymeric solution. BM-MSCs were then seeded onto the scaffolds, which were implanted into rat models of SCI. The animals then underwent daily treadmill exercise. Histological analysis and functional assessments were conducted to evaluate the extent of spinal cord repair and functional recovery. The study showed that the hybrid treatment strategy augmented SCI “repair” and restored tissue function. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay results showed that our method upregulated tissue expression levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and nerve growth factor and decreased the tissue expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1 beta.

Introduction. The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic capabilities of various modifications of portable analyzers LAZMA-PF when studying the state of microcirculation depending on the tasks set.

Materials and methods. Synchronous assessment of lower extremity microcirculation using a distributed system of single-channel analyzers LAZMA-PF, was performed in patients with unilateral coxarthrosis (n=37) in the initial state and after hip joint replacement. In patients with colorectal cancer (n=27) and in the healthy control group (n=30), a comparative assessment of microcirculation and oxidative metabolism was performed using a multimodal analyzer LAZMA-PF combining two diagnostic technologies – laser Doppler flowmetry and fluorescence spectroscopy.

Results. The perfusion level in the damaged limb in patients with unilateral coxarthrosis, reduced by 57 % (p<0.01) compared to the contralateral limb, was maintained due to a significant tension on the regulatory mechanisms of microcirculation, as evidenced by a more than twofold (p<0.001) increase in the coefficient of variation and increased amplitudes of regulatory rhythms of microcirculation (from 21 % up to 30 %, p<0.05). In the postoperative period, a decrease in perfusion by 10 % (p<0.05) was noted in the intact limb due to increased neurogenic influences and suppression of endothelial oscillations by 24 %, p<0.05. In patients with colorectal cancer, decreased perfusion (by 23 %, p<0.05), microcirculation variability (by 21 %, p<0.05) and amplitudes of tone-forming (from 36 % up to 52 %, p<0.05) and respiratory (by 29 %, p<0.05) microcirculation rhythms were recorded; a decrease in nutritive blood flow (by 40 %, p<0.01) and oxidative metabolism (by 43 %, p<0.01) in comparison with the norm were fixed.

Conclusion. The use of portable laser analyzers on symmetrical areas of the body made it possible to identify a decrease in perfusion in the affected limb with unilateral coxarthrosis and redistribution of microcirculation in favor of the operated limb after hip joint endoprosthesis. When using a multimodal analyzer in patients with colorectal cancer, microcirculation violation of ischemia type and decrease in oxidative metabolism of tissues were recorded.

Interest in studying tissue microcirculation both from a researcher and a clinical specialist perspective is determined by the role of microcirculatory disorders in the development and progression of pathology and the possibility of using the obtained data to diagnose and control the disease treatment. Disorders of regulation and the structural and functional characteristics of the microcirculatory vessels are a link in the pathogenesis of most known pathological processes and conditions. Currently, there are a large number of methods that allow us to study the features of microvascular blood flow in norm and pathology. The review provides information on the most common modern non-radiological methods for microvascular blood flow research. We discuss the options, basic principles, advantages and limitations of individual methods based on the principles of plethysmography, Dopplerography, and changes in the optical properties of the tissue. Major trends in the improvement of approaches to the study of microcirculation are also noted.

Culture is still considered less important than other components in patient care, especially patients with critical conditions. This lack of knowledge of cultural competence in nursing among nurses and nursing students will have an impact on the nursing care provided to patients. The process of providing nursing services requires every nurse to have an understanding of cultural competence. To identify the level of cultural competence in nursing students and nurses. This study used descriptive quantitative methods with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample amounted to 204 respondents in nursing students and 109 respondents in nurses. The questionnaire was tested for validity with the Nursing Cultural Competence Scale (NCCS). The instrument has been tested for validity and reliability. Student respondents had cultural competence in the low category (55.9%), and nurse respondents had cultural competence in the low category (53.2%). Cultural competence in students and nurses needs to be improved by the existence of evaluation materials in mandatory teaching subjects regarding transcultural in educational institutions, special training programs or seminars for nurses in hospitals, and can develop research related to factors that affect cultural competence in nursing.
