Diabetes is a complex condition with a variety of causes and patho-physiologies. The current single target approach has not provided ideal clinical outcomes for the treatment of the disease and its complications. Herbal medicine has been used for the management of various diseases such as diabetes over centuries. Many diabetic patients are known to use herbal medicines with antidiabetic properties in addition to their main stream treatments, which may present both a benefit as well as potential risk to effective management of their disease. In this review, we evaluate the clinical and experimental literature on herb–drug interactions in the treatment of diabetes. Pharmacokinetic and pharmaco-dynamic interactions between drugs and herbs are discussed, and some commonly used herbs, which can interact with antidiabetic drugs summarized. Herb–drug interactions can be a double-edgeds word presenting both risks (adverse drug events) and benefits (through enhancement). There is a general lack of data on herb–drug interactions. As such, more rigorous scientific research is urgently needed to guide clinical practice as well as to safeguard the wellbeing of diabetes patients.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a disease with progressively increasing prevalence every year and often leads to complications when not properly managed. Control or success of treatment is influenced by adherence of patients to the treatment process. This study aimed to analyze relationship between medication adherence and fasting glucose levels among DM outpatients. A correlation study was conducted using a cross-sectional approach on a sample of 300 respondents selected by probability sampling technique from the entire population. The instrument used was the MMAS-8 Test (Morisky Scale Medication Adherence Scales-8) and examination of fasting sugar levels. Meanwhile, data analysis was conducted with the Spearman Rho test. The results showed that the highest treatment adherence was in the moderate category by 130 (43.3%) and a decrease in fasting sugar levels was observed among 230 (76.7%) respondents. A significant relationship was found between medication adherence and fasting glucose levels with a p-value = <0.001 and r: -0.597. Based on the results, there was a negative relationship between medication adherence and fasting blood sugar. The higher medication adherence, the better the fasting sugar levels in DM outpatients.

Published: April 2024

Healthcare professionals’ adherence to hand hygiene protocols is paramount to prevent Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) and ensure patient safety. This study evaluates compliance with the World Health Organization's (WHO) "Five-Moment Hand Hygiene" protocol among nurses in two Indonesian hospitals: Regional General Hospital X in Makassar City and Provincial General Hospital Y in South Sulawesi Province. A total of 60 nurses participated, with demographic analysis revealing significant differences between the hospitals. Utilizing a comprehensive observation tool provided by the WHO, data analysis indicated variations in hand hygiene practices, particularly after touching patient surroundings. Despite these differences, the data followed a normal distribution, enhancing the reliability of statistical analyses. Significant disparities in hand hygiene practices were found after touching patient surroundings (p-value = 0.008; α < 0.05), underscoring the urgent need for targeted interventions among nurses to improve their compliance and enhance patient safety. This study recommends comprehensive training, resource provision, regular audits, fostering a supportive organizational culture, and integrating robust hand hygiene modules into nursing education. The study also suggests further research to identify barriers and improvement strategies. Addressing these recommendations collectively will bolster patient safety and reduce healthcare-associated infection burdens in Indonesian healthcare settings. The study's identification of specific deficiencies in hand hygiene practices provides actionable insights for healthcare administrators, infection control practitioners, and frontline healthcare workers, emphasizing the urgency of sustained efforts to promote proper hand hygiene practices.

This section presents order growth projections based on professional analyst consensus estimates to help analyze procurement orders in the inventory control section. Inventory control in a company is closely related to the activity of collecting data about activities and transactions in and out of a company's goods. The basic concept of inventory is that every company, whether it is a trading company or factory company or service company, always holds inventory. Without inventory, entrepreneurs will be faced with the risk that their company at some point will not be able to fulfill the desires of customers who need or request goods/services. Inventory is held if the expected profit from the inventory should be greater than the costs it incurs. By designing a better system, it is hoped that it can help and facilitate the ongoing system process, making it easier to process data, including processing, compiling, storing and manipulating data, which ultimately produces accurate data that can be used for company needs. For this reason, an information system is needed to overcome this problem, a dual information system that can inform existing data correctly and accurately.

This research aims to find out what kind of PSAs support changes in people's behavior. This research uses a qualitative descriptive case study method. Data is analyzed using qualitative methods which are then presented and interpreted narratively or descriptively. The results of data analysis stated that the target community's behavior towards PSAs was quite positive. Most informants liked PSAs in the form of animations in the form of stories because they had a fear effect, thereby creating a desire to follow the invitation from the PSAs. Informants were of the opinion that the duration of the PSAs should not be too short so that it makes the PSAs less informative or should not be too long so that it makes the PSA boring. Informants stated that through PSAs, public or target audience awareness of breast cancer could be increased so that they were willing to follow the PSA's invitation.

Palestinian Women's Rights and Global Advocacy: A Comprehensive Examination of Boycott Divestment and Sanctions Movement Strategies in 2010
Authors: Sugianto Heratri Anggrarini
Published: April 2024

The protracted conflict between Israel and Palestine has not ended, even though peace negotiations have been held several times, such as in 2010. As a result of this conflict, many Palestinian women lost their rights, and this attracted the sympathy of the world community, which then carried out the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement. This article aims to see the influence of this movement in advocating for the problems faced by Palestinian women at that time. The method used is to analyze various global society activities, reports, policies, and documents related to the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement in various parts of the world during 2010 using the Transnational Advocacy Networks (TANs) theory. The results show that during 2010, people in various parts of the world continuously carried out the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, which demanded the return of the rights of Palestinians, including Palestinian women. Even though these movements did not end the conflict, they saw the mobilization of transnational networks to advocate for the rights of Palestinian women. This means that peace between Israel and Palestine is possible if the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement continues in global society.

Konflik berkepanjangan Israel dan Palestina tak kunjung usai meskipun sudah berkali-kali diadakan perundingan perdamaian, seperti perundingan tahun 2010. Akibat konflik tersebut, banyak perempuan Palestina kehilangan hak mereka, dan hal ini menarik simpati masyarakat dunia yang kemudian melakukan gerakan Boycot Divestment and Sanctions. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk melihat pengaruh gerakan tersebut dalam mengadvokasi permasalahan yang dihadapi perempuan Palestina saat itu. Metode yang digunakan adalah dengan melakukan analisis terhadap berbagai kegiatan masyarakat global, laporan-laporan, kebijakan dan dokumen terkait dengan gerakan Boycot Divestment and Sanctions di berbagai belahan dunia selama tahun 2010 dengan memakai teori Transnational Advocacy Networks (TANs). Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa selama tahun 2010 masyarakat di berbagai belahan dunia secara berkelanjutan melakukan gerakan Boycot Divestment and Sanctions yang menuntut pengembalian hak-hak warga Palestina tidak terkeceuali perempuan Palestina. Meskipun gerakan-gerakan tersebut tidak mengakhiri konflik yang terjadi, namun terlihat adanya mobilisasi jaringan transnasional dalam melakukan advokasi untuk memperjuangkan hak-hak perempuan Palestina. Ini berarti bahwa perdamaian antara Israel dan Palestina mungkin terjadi jika gerakan Boycot Divestment and Sanctions terus dilakukan masyarakat global.

Who Needs Therapy When There is TikTok: Barriers and Facilitators of Young Adults with Anxiety and Depression Complaints to Use Social Media as Mental Health Information Sourcen Social Media of Young Adults with Anxiety and Depression.
Authors: Oldeman Marie Geertrude , Hermans Anne-Mette , Smit Eline Adrianne , de Looper Melanie
Published: April 2024

Dutch young adults increasingly experience anxiety and depression complaints (Ten Have et al., 2023), but they experience barriers to seek professional help and therefore turn to social media for mental health information (Horgan & Sweeney, 2010). This research explores young adults’ needs, barriers and facilitators to use online short videos (OSVs) on social media as mental health information source when experiencing anxiety and depression complaints. 22 semi-structured interviews were conducted and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that young adults use OSVs to address cognitive and affective information needs. Specific features of OSVs, such as the algorithm, facilitated their use, but simultaneously proved to be barriers.Our findings are of interest to healthcare professionals who seek to understand young adults’ use of social media for their mental health. Furthermore, our findings highlight opportunities for young adults and policymakers to increase the potential of OSVs as an information source.
Different model assumptions about plant hydraulics and photosynthetic temperature acclimation yield diverging implications for tropical forest resilience
Authors: Zarakas Claire , Swann Abigail , Koven Charles , Smith Marielle , Taylor Tyeen
Published: April 2024

Tropical forest photosynthesis can decline at high temperatures due to (1) biochemical responses to increasing temperature and (2) stomatal responses to increasing vapor pressure deficit (VPD), which is associated with increasing temperature. It is challenging to disentangle the influence of these two mechanisms on photosynthesis in observations, because temperature and VPD are tightly correlated in tropical forests. Nonetheless, quantifying the relative strength of these two mechanisms is essential for understanding how tropical gross primary productivity (GPP) will respond to climate change, because increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration may partially offset VPD-driven stomatal responses, but is not expected to mitigate the effects of temperature-driven biochemical responses. We used two terrestrial biosphere models to quantify how physiological process assumptions (photosynthetic temperature acclimation and plant hydraulic stress) and functional traits (e.g. maximum xylem conductivity) influence the relative strength of modeled temperature vs. VPD effects on light-saturated GPP at an Amazonian forest site, a seasonally dry tropical forest site, and an experimental tropical forest mesocosm. By simulating idealized climate change scenarios, we quantified the divergence in GPP predictions under model configurations with stronger VPD effects compared to stronger direct temperature effects. Assumptions consistent with stronger direct temperature effects resulted in larger GPP declines under warming, while assumptions consistent with stronger VPD effects resulted in more resilient GPP under warming. Our findings underscore the importance of quantifying the role of direct temperature and indirect VPD effects for projecting the resilience of tropical forests in the future, and demonstrate that the relative strength of temperature vs. VPD effects in models is highly sensitive to plant functional parameters and structural assumptions about photosynthetic temperature acclimation and plant hydraulics.

Diverse groups exhibit enhanced capabilities in tackling complex problems compared to individuals. Also, involving diverse stakeholders has been shown to improve the understanding of complex social-ecological systems. Considering this, we investigated how pooling the knowledge of diverse stakeholder crowds can create new, emergent knowledge on cascading drought impacts. We define ‘emergent knowledge’ as information that only becomes visible when multiple perspectives are combined. Therefore, we used participatory modeling to capture the systemic effects of droughts on diverse socio-economic and environmental systems. We interviewed 25 stakeholders with different expertise to obtain individual causal loop diagrams (CLDs) representing how drought impacts propagate in a case study in Thuringia, Germany. These CLDs were aggregated to develop a collective CLD. We then compared the individual and collective CLDs using graph theory statistics. Our analysis revealed emergent system-level features, such as feedback loops, that only became apparent when combining individual perspectives. Also, variables like ‘biodiversity loss’, which had minimal influence within the individual CLDs, gained influence in the collective CLD. These findings demonstrate how pooling diverse stakeholder knowledge on cascading drought impacts unveils new insights that may be hidden when considering only individual perspectives. We anticipate these findings to enhance the integration of knowledge from diverse stakeholder crowds when studying complex drought impacts. Furthermore, these findings highlight the need for careful consideration in selecting domain expertise in participatory processes that study drought impact cascades, as the system dynamics can vary substantially.

The social characteristics of others can powerfully influence our decisions. They can also be broadly impacted by the social context in which these choices are made, making the effects of these characteristics on decision-making especially challenging to understand. Here, we developed a Generative Narrative Survey that provided participants with naturalistic scenarios that richly varied in social context and theme but that also systematically varied the characteristics of the social agents involved, followed by a question. An example of this narrative is “You're a tourist, and you're trying to take a picture of yourself with your phone. A black male comes up to you and offers to take the photo for you. Do you hand them your phone?” After validating this approach using feeling thermometer measures, we found that the emotional states of others had the strongest and most consistent effect on the participants’ choices. More notably, whereas most characteristics had independent effects on decision-making, social features such as the inferred socioeconomic status of others significantly influenced the effect that race had on the participant’s judgments. Moreover, the social context of the agent’s interactions with other agents had a significant additive effect, especially when the emotional states of the agents in the scenarios contrasted. The influence of these characteristics on the participants’ choices was also markedly affected by their demographics, especially when contrasting with that of the agents involved, and were often driven by the participants' reported political views. Together, these findings reveal how the mixture of social characteristics, context, and personal views influence decision-making and highlight the use of naturalistic generative narrative surveys in studying human behavior.
Alcohol and Alcoholism in Russia: An Update
Authors: Jargin Sergei V.
Published: April 2024

The problem of excessive alcohol consumption in Russia is well known; but there is a tendency to exaggerate it. In this way, responsibility for enhanced mortality is shifted onto the people, that is, self-inflicted diseases caused by excessive alcohol consumption. The overestimation of the cause-effect relationship between alcohol consumption and cardiovascular disease has been used for the same purpose. The quality of alcoholic beverages is uneven. Instances of mass poisoning are discussed here. The concept of unrecorded alcohol is not directly applicable to Russia without a comment that ethanol from non-edible sources, diverted from the industry or imported, has been used for production of beverages sold through legally operating shops and eateries. Furthermore, heavy binge drinking has contributed to mortality. Fortunately, this hazardous pattern of alcohol consumption has been declining since the last two decades. Vodka and fortified wine have been partly replaced by a moderate consumption of beer. In a separate section, invasive and medicinal treatments without sufficient clinical indications are discussed. The attitude to persons supposed to have an alcohol use disorder is less responsible with lower procedural quality assurance than for other patients. Some ethical and legal aspects of compulsory treatments are briefly delineated. Efficiency of public policies in the discussed area has been limited. Considering shortcomings of medical practice, research and education, the directives and increase in funding are unlikely to be sufficient for a solution of existing problems. Measures should include participation of authorized foreign advisors.

This study aims to determine the diversity of gastropods and water conditions on Sironjong Gadang Island, Pesisir Selatan Regency. This research was conducted in August 2022 in the waters of Sironjong Gadang Island and the Marine Biology Laboratory and Marine Chemistry Laboratory of the Department of Marine Science, Universitas Riau. The method used in this research is the survey method, which is direct observation of the research area and sampling and measurement of water quality parameters in the field. The results of the study found gastropod species consisting of 4 (four) families, 4 (four) genera, and 8 (eight) species. The diversity value (H') was at a moderate level of diversity. The highest gastropod density was found at Station I, with a density value of 16.33 ind/m², and the lowest density was found at Station III, with a density value of 13.89 ind/m². The highest relative density was Monodonta labia species, with a relative density value of 27.6%, while the lowest relative density was Haustrum-scoring species, with a relative density value of 3.3%. Temperature 28-29˚C; salinity 25-27 ppt; pH 7.91-7.95; brightness 1.55-2.65 m. The sediment type at Station I was dominated by muddy gravel, Station II was dominated by sandy gravel, and Station III was defeated by sandy gravel with a total sediment organic matter content of 6.10-10.05%.

Vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is a fishery commodity widely cultivated in various parts of Indonesia. The main problem often found in vannamei shrimp production is poor water quality during the rearing period. This study aims to isolate and identify E. coli contained in water, sediment, and meat of vannamei shrimp cultivated in shrimp ponds and examine its sensitivity to antibiotics. The research was conducted from March to May 2023 at the Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) Vannamei Shrimp Ponds of the Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Service, Tanjung Punak Village, Rupat Utara District, Bengkalis Regency, Riau. The survey method was used in this study. The Most Probable Number (MPN) method was employed for E. coli isolation to calculate bacterial density, and the Kirby-Bauer method was used to test bacterial sensitivity to antibiotics. Based on the identification of the six isolates carried out, it was found that only two isolates were positively identified as E. coli bacteria, namely SD C 3.1 and IP B 1.1, which were isolated from sediment and the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) pond. The diameter of the inhibition zone for sediment isolate RF01 against the antibiotic chloramphenicol was 18.75 mm, indicating intermediate sensitivity. On the other hand, WWTP isolates RF02 exhibited an inhibition zone of 17 mm for chloramphenicol, indicating medium sensitivity as well. However, it showed resistance to penicillin with a diameter of 6.5 mm and resistance to ampicillin with a diameter of 2 mm

The potential of tuna in the waters of West Sumatra reaches 300,000 tons per year, and only 25% of its existing potential has been exploited. The existence of these fish can be determined by measuring the concentration of chlorophyll-α as an indicator of food sources in the waters and measuring sea surface temperature as an indicator of the fish environment, which can be done using remote sensing technology. This research was conducted from August 05 to September 29, 2022, using Aqua MODIS satellite imagery data. The results obtained during the study showed that the concentration of chlorophyll-α had an average of 2.01 mg/m3. The highest concentration occurred in the period 13-20 August 2022 with an average value of 3.17 mg/m3, and the lowest occurred in the period 06-13 September 2022 with an average value of 0.85 mg/m3. Sea surface temperature has a relatively similar value, which ranges from 29.5–30.8oC with an average of 30.5oC. Determination of the alleged fishing area for yellowfin tuna was carried out using the overlay technique by shading the area from chlorophyll-a criteria >0.1 mg/m3 with the sea surface temperature criteria of 29-30oC. The accuracy level of the yellowfin tuna fishing area estimation has an average accuracy of 28.7%. The highest accuracy value occurs from August 29 to September 05 2022, with a percentage of 69.8%, and the lowest occurs from August 13 to 20, 2022, with a rate of 3.9%.
