Aflatoxin B1 (afl B1) binding capacity of a mixed toxin binder used in poultry nutrition were determined using the central composite design technique. Experimental conditions such as pH, temperature and incubation time for the determination of the binding capacity of a mix binder were optimized for Central Composite Design. The impact of these three independent variables on the % binding of aflatoxin B1 was evaluated at different five levels (-1.68, -1, 0, 1, 1.68). The optimum experimental conditions were 5.8, 42°C, 94.11 min for pH, temperature and incubation time, respectively using quadratic model and desirability function. A significant effect of each independent variable was observed on the % binding efficiency of aflatoxin B1. In optimum experimental conditions, aflatoxin B1 binding capacity with mix toxin binder was found 97%. The results of the present study indicated that the mix binder is very suitable for binding of aflatoxin B1 and the central composite design can be used effectively in determining the optimized parameters for improving toxin binding capacity of aflatoxin B1.

The true goal of education is to increase human competency, which is achieved through the application of different information and skills that humans themselves require. The goal of education is to support students' human potential development. Education is seen by Indonesians as the country's battle. History has demonstrated that ties and exchanges with the Islamic civilization, which is presently undergoing growth, are inextricably linked to the highs and lows of education. With the rise of Islamic education ideas, this is undeniable. History reveals that the Abbasid period, which reached its zenith, is when Islamic educational philosophy started to take shape. The idea of education, which includes children's education, educational objectives, and educational principles, was first articulated by Al-Qabisi.It is impossible to learn about other objects that have a higher ontological status, namely immaterial reality, without the presence of the five senses, according to Ikhwan As-Shafa. Only the five senses are capable of perceiving objects in the form of material-physical reality that are present in space and time. metaphysical. The As-Shafa Brotherhood's profound admiration of the senses demonstrates the significant influence of Aristotelianism in their epistemological thought. In this regard, they even venture to promise that, provided all circumstances are met, there will be no errors made by the senses.

Published: April 2024

University students often face a myriad of challenges that can adversely affect their learning and overall health. However, re-search has shown that a minimal number of students access sup-port for their learning and well-being problems. In this project, we aim to evaluate the feasibility of using artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots powered by the generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) to support student learning and well-being. We consulted with clinical psychologists and counselors to identify objectives and iteratively develop the AI conversational agent to align closely with real-world scenarios. 63 questions from different domains students might pose are designed to assess the effectiveness and professionalism of the developed AI conversational agent’s re-sponse. The chatbot's performance was evaluated using context-specific metrics. Additionally, students were recruited to engage in conversations with the chatbot, and their feedback was collect-ed for thematic analysis. Our findings suggest that the develop-ment and evaluation of this AI conversational agent present a promising avenue for addressing student well-being concerns within university environments, while there remains a need to advance their capacity for personalized, empathetic interactions to meet users' needs and expectations fully.

-resolved spin polarization at the Fermi surface. It is ideal for generation of the tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) effect by electrodes, which hinges on electrode–barrier compatibility. Testing various insulators, we obtained 2000% TMR effects in Mn3ZnN/SrTiO3/Mn3ZnN. Additionally, the application of 2% biaxial stress increased the spin polarization to 35.24% in Mn3ZnN, hinting at the potential for higher TMR. These findings provide valuable insights for experimental and industrial developments in the field of spintronics.

Potential of garlic (Allium sativum) essence in changing blood lipid profile of the hypertension patients with hypercholesterolemia
Authors: Hadi  , Hadisaputro Suharyo , Ramlan Djamaluddin
Published: April 2024

Background: As like hypertension, hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and hypertension and its complications are one of the highest causes of death in the world.Aims: This study aims to determine the potential of garlic essence (Allium sativum) mixed with honey in changing blood pressure and lipid profile of blood in the hypertension patients with hypercholesterolemia, and to compare the effectiveness with those who received Simvastatin, the most preferred pharmacological treatment of hyperlipidemia.Methods: This research is a quasy experiment study with a Nonequivalent control group design. There were 22 hypercholesterolemia outpatients purposively selected from local health centers. The respondents were then divided equally to (a) a control group where the patients were provided with generic Simvastatin 10 mg single dose taken once in the afternoon, and (b) an intervention group where the respondents received a non-pharmacological supplement of garlic essence in 2 grams honey. The blood pressure and the blood lipid profile were examined before (Pretest) and at the Day 22 after the treatment (Posttest). The collected data was then analyzed using a T-test to define the significant mean difference between two groups, and a Cohen's effect was measured to interpret the size of changes.Results: Either the additions of Simvastatin or the provision of garlic essence mixed with honey decreased the blood pressure (systole and diastole) and the cholesterol, triglyceride, and LDL cholesterol, but increased the HDL cholesterol. While significant difference was observed for all parameters at the intervention group, the improvement at the control group for triglyceride was not significant (p value = 0.041). Overall, by the Cohen's effect size effect, we can interpret that the changes was moderate for diastole and systole blood pressure, and also triglyceride and DLD-cholesterol; however the effect size was low for Cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol.Conclusion: The findings show the importance of the garlic essence mixed with honey to be offered as a nutritional supplement for hypertensive patients with hypercholesterolemia.

Authors: Ulkhasanah Muzaroah Ermawati , Hadisaputro Suharyo , Pujiastuti Rr. Sri Endang
Published: April 2024

Background: Hypertension is influenced by lifestyle factors such as high fat intake which has the potential for high blood cholesterol level. Cocoa products, which are rich sources of flavonoids, have been shown to reduce blood pressure and the risk of cardiovascular disease.Aims: The purpose of this research is to examine the dark chocolate consumption in decreasing the level of blood cholesterol and triglyceride in hypertension patients.Methods: This research is a quasi-experiment study with pre and post and control group design. There were thirty two (32) hypertensive patients selected from Jatiroto Health Center in June-July 2018 using a random sampling technique. The respondents were then divided to (1) a control group where patients were prescribed to a popular non-pharmacological therapy Simvastatin and (2) an intervention group where the respondents were prescribed with Simvastatin and also received an additional dark chocolate 60gr/day (given twice a day, each 30gr) for 15 days. A spectrophotometer glycerol phosphate oxidase (GPO-POD) with 546 nm wavelength was employed to measure the levels of blood cholesterol and triglyceride. The significant mean difference between pre and posttest, and the changes between control and intervention group were defined by statistical analysis T-test.Results: This study acknowledged that the prescribed simvastatin alone presents a significant contribution to decrease the cholesterol level at 14.40 point (p value = 0.041), however, the generic is not enough to deliver a significant effect to the decrease of triglyceride level in the hypertension patients (p value = 0.361). A great contribution to the depression of cholesterol and triglyceride level in the hypertensive respondent was observed if simvastatin prescription was combined with a provision of 60 gram dark chocolate, respectively to the level of 57.06 and 38.41 mg/dL with p value = 0.001. The addition of dark chocolate in the simvastatin prescription will significantly reduce the blood cholesterol level (p value = 0.020), but not really effective to reduce the triglyceride (p value = 0.560).Conclusion: The findings suggest that giving dark chocolate to the hypertensive patients who receive simvastatin prescription will decrease the cholesterol and triglyceride levels greater than the consumption of simvastatin drugs alone.

Published: April 2024

Background: Financial costs are recognized as one of the causes of lack of access to adequate health services, not least in the treatment of Acute Appendicitis with Social Security Agency for Health (BPJS in Health) in Budi Kemuliaan Hospital, Batam. Data describing health workers' awareness of costs is still limited. Increasing awareness of health workers can encourage increased treatment efficacy and reduce wasteful spending costs. This research aims to analyze the cost awareness of health workers' in the efficiency of Acute Appendicitis treatment.Methods: This research was a qualitative descriptive study accompanied by direct observation on the implementation of clinical pathways and SOP in cases of Appendicitis Acute in Budi Kemuliaan Hospital, Batam. In this study also conducted interviews involving nine main informants and three triangulation informants.Results: The average loss value Budi Kemuliaan Hospital in 2017 was Rp. 3,898,635, - and increased in 2018 to Rp.5,597,241,-. Low knowledge of health workers about case-mix which causes low cost awareness behavior. There was a low awareness of costs identified in the implementation of clinical pathways and SOP in cases of Appendicitis Acute in general surgeons, resulting in high financing. There was also low management monitoring. This has the potential to be a source of financial loss for hospitals.Conclusion: The lack of cost efficiency for Appendicitis Acute due to lack of cost awareness and monitoring of hospital management, so that it is necessary to carry out periodic monitoring related to the Cost awareness behavior of health workers.

Published: April 2024

Background: The global prevalence of the second degree of the perineal wound of postpartum mothers is 73.4%. Pharmacological treatments have a cytotoxic effect. Other treatments is non-pharmacological treatments are such as using decoction waters of binahong leaves and red betel leaves. Both have compounds that accelerate epithelialization of wounds. This study aims to analyze the differences of the perineal wound recovery period of postpartum mothers between the decoction water treatments of binahong leaves compared to red betel leaves.
Methods: This study is a quasi-experiment post-test only without control group design. There are 32 respondents meeting the inclusion criteria who are taken by accidental sampling. The sample is divided equally into two groups, namely binahong group and the red betel group. Binahong or red betel leaf decoction waters are used for genital washing after urinating at the last rinse at 7 am and 3 pm on 1-3 postpartum days. Perineal wound recovery is assessed by using the REEDA score from the second postpartum day unô€¦žl the wound fully recovered. Statistic analysis with chi-square, time series analysis, Mann Whitney and Kruskal Wallis test.
Results: The average of perineal wound recovery period of binahong group is 6 days, while the red betel group is 4.69 days. There are significant differences of perineal wound recovery period between the binahong group and the red betel group with a p-value of 0.0001 < Î± (0.05). Respondents' characteristics are age, BMI, frequency of changing pads, and educational background between binahong and red betel groups have no significant differences.
Conclusion: Red betel leaf decoction water is recommended for postpartum mothers suffering perineal wounds. Further research is needed with a larger number of respondents and true experiments are needed to analyze the effect of red betel leaves on perineal pain, platelets, and leukocyte level.

Children without parental care in Ukraine: consequences of full-scale war
Authors: Slyusar Ludmila
Published: April 2024

The spread of the phenomenon of social orphanhood, neglect of some children is one of the acute socio-demographic problems of Ukraine in the last three decades. Orphans and children deprived of parental care are a special group of children who’s the number has increased in Ukraine since the mid-1990s, that is, during the period of maximum aggravation of the transformational crisis. The gradual improvement of the economic situation and society's attention to childhood problems, the activation of social policy contributed to a gradual decrease in the number of children in this category. Family forms of keeping these children have become widespread - guardianship, foster families, family-type orphanages, etc. But in the conditions of a full-scale war, the positive trend towards a gradual decrease in the number of these children was interrupted, since many children suffered from the war: their parents died or were seriously injured, went missing, were forcibly deported, etc. This is one of the worst consequences of war. Creating comfortable living conditions and harmonious development of this group of children in the conditions of war is a difficult task that requires a scientific approach, improving legislation and concentrating the efforts of relevant organizations. In the extreme conditions of the war, family forms of keeping children left without parental care due to the war are spreading: increasing cases of taking into families for guardianship/care and national adoption is continuing. The study is based on information from open sources, expert assessments, and data from the State Statistics Service.
