Authors: Sugiura Tadahisa , Nawaz Sheeza , E. Ferrell Brandon , Yoshida Taizo
Published: October 2024

Ischemic cardiomyopathy, a leading cause of heart failure globally, arises from the irreversible damage inflicted upon cardiac tissue following myocardial infarction. The limited regenerative capacity of the adult human heart necessitates the exploration of novel therapeutic strategies to restore cardiac function and improve outcomes. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), with their remarkable ability to differentiate into virtually any cell type in the body, have emerged as a beacon of hope for regenerative medicine, including the treatment of ischemic cardiomyopathy. This review delves into the pathophysiology of ischemic cardiomyopathy, highlighting the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying cardiac dysfunction. We provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of iPSC technology, focusing on its potential applications in disease modeling, drug discovery, and cell-based therapies for cardiac regeneration. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with translating iPSC-based therapies to the clinic, emphasizing the need for rigorous preclinical studies and well-designed clinical trials to ensure safety and efficacy. Finally, we offer perspectives on the future directions of iPSC research in the context of ischemic cardiomyopathy, highlighting the transformative potential of this technology to revolutionize cardiovascular medicine and usher in an era of personalized regenerative therapies for patients with heart failure.

Authors: Yi Qile
Published: October 2024

Global climate change has increasingly posed a serious threat to coastal cities, rendering them particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of rising sea levels, more frequent and intense extreme weather events, and the shifting patterns of climate. Traditional urban planning methods, which had been the cornerstone of city development, were found to be inadequate in addressing these escalating challenges. The previous studies often failed to account for the critical importance of integrating climate factors into the planning process, leading to vulnerabilities in urban infrastructure and design. This study meticulously examined the limitations of these conventional urban planning approaches and explored the potential for adapting urban planning strategies in Chinas coastal cities to better respond to the looming threat of climate change. By conducting a thorough analysis of the impacts of high temperatures, floods, and other climate-related events, the study proposed a comprehensive series of response measures tailored to the specific conditions of the time. These measures included the integration of green policies into urban planning to enhance environmental sustainability, the strategic selection of building materials aimed at mitigating urban heat, and the enhancement of water resource management systems to alleviate the urban heat island effect. Moreover, the study closely investigated existing climate response measures through detailed case studies in Xiamen and Dalian, two prominent coastal cities in China. The primary objective was to significantly enhance the resilience of these cities, effectively reduce the risks associated with climate change, and promote a path towards sustainable development. Ultimately, the goal was to create more livable, safer, and sustainable urban environments that would be better equipped to face the challenges posed by an unpredictable climate future.

Published: October 2024

As a collection of individuals who work together to achieve organizational goals, the organization urgently needs glue which attaches all members. Existing studies find that organizational culture can be a means to provoke collectivism climate for influencing organizational performance. The study aims to examine the potential capacity of organizational rituals of arisan and picnic in evoking organizational social cohesion, from the perspective of organizational members. Furthermore, it aims to explore the other possible functions of organizational culture. The data are collected from co-reflection by using certain reflection guidance. The study finds that organizational arisan or picnic can potentially benefit members. It provides opportunities for members to share happy moments, face challenging activities together, forget their conflict and replace it with new happy experiences. However, this ritual does not always bring genuine happiness. It may keep silent storm of emotion as the ritual can exert social pressure, display dominant social status, reinforce power of giving which acquire needs to get back (return the kindness). The study also reveals the emergent co-rituals which are created or joined by in-group members. Co-exist rituals allow members to fit their individual-group dimensions with less social pressure, build stronger emotional bond and support. However, this too strong emotional tie may ignite inter-group conflict and high competition with other groups.

Authors: Rudiatin Endang , Putri Dessy Iriani , Rahma Irhamni
Published: October 2024

Processed food production plants are implementing the Food Safety Risk Management Program in accordance with BPOM Regulation Number 10 of 2023. Indonesian food safety surveillance is based on a preventive, risk-based paradigm where producers bear the main responsibility for food safety. The research's objective is to offer solutions to micro, small, and medium-sized firms (MSMEs) so that these businesses may also guarantee the quality and safety of their goods while working within the constraints of available facilities and resources for manufacturing and distribution.The study's conclusions imply that MSMEs should receive risk management training for food safety, which should include instruction on how to integrate halal practices into their production processes. Through zero waste, environmental friendliness, and energy efficiency, this research presents a strategy for implementing technological innovation based on a green economy. The basic concept of halal products requires business operators to manage the food processing in a series that includes zero waste activities, environmentally friendly practices, and energy efficiency within a single production process. This process is ensured to be an implementation of food safety risk management programs.  The research's conclusions suggest that MSME actors could find it easier to understand and implement this strategy. Now that the risks to food security have been eliminated, the halal certification procedure can proceed.

Authors: H Putri Afisindika Fadhilah , Novani Santi
Published: October 2024

This study aims to understand the challenges and opportunities for the development of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in West Java. With a very large number, MSMEs in West Java have great potential to drive economic growth. However, various obstacles such as access to capital, information, and technology are still an obstacle. This research proposes the application of the Service Science framework to map the MSME ecosystem and identify opportunities for service innovation. Thus, it is expected to increase the competitiveness of MSMEs and make a greater contribution to the regional economy. This research reveals that MSMEs in West Java face significant constraints in terms of access to capital, information, and technology. Through in-depth interviews with 8 MSME owners, this research aims to understand in-depth the challenges and opportunities faced by micro, small and medium enterprises. Thematic analysis of the interview data identified a gap between the ideal conditions that MSMEs desire and the actual conditions they experience. Using the Service Quality Gap Model, this study created four action plans to improve MSMEs in West Java.  By addressing the identified gaps and encouraging collaboration between MSMEs, government, academia and industry, the Sadulur platform can catalyze the sustainable growth and development of MSMEs in West Java. These gaps, which we refer to as 'customer gaps', are manifested in four main themes: 1) the potential for MSMEs to create innovative products more easily, 2) the need to develop a strong business foundation and build sustainable brand value, 3) the importance of improving business processes and management to increase efficiency, and 4) the need to build good relationships with external parties to expand networks and business opportunities. These findings form the basis for formulating an action plan to improve the quality of services provided to MSMEs.

Optimization and modeling of biodiesel production from oleic acid in plug flow reactor
Authors: Erden Hanife , Uğur Nigiz Filiz
Published: October 2024

In recent years, biodiesel has been preferable to fossil fuels because of its renewability, biodegradability, and producibility from various wastes. In this study, the esterification reaction between oleic acid and methanol was carried out in the presence of sulfuric acid, which is a homogeneous acid catalyst, to produce biodiesel. Experiments were carried out in a plug flow reactor (PFR) and a batch reactor. The experimental conditions with the highest conversion obtained in the PFR were determined and applied to the batch reactor and results were compared. The effects of temperature (45, 55, 65 in Celsius), catalyst concentration (2%, 4%, 6% by weight), and methanol/oleic acid mole ratio (3, 6, 9) on oleic acid conversion were examined in the PFR. Retention times at different flow rates were calculated to determine the reaction time in the PFR and reactions were carried out between 2 and 6 minutes. In the reactions carried out in the PFR, the highest conversion value was obtained as 97.33% under conditions where the catalyst concentration was 6% by weight, the temperature value was 55oC and the alcohol/acid mole ratio was 6:1. These conditions were applied to the batch reactor and the conversion value was found to be 50%. When the experimental results were examined, it was seen that the effect of temperature and alcohol/acid ratio on the conversion was greater than the effect of the catalyst concentration on the conversion. The modeling of oleic acid/methanol esterification, i.e., biodiesel production, at specific boundary values was found to follow a cubic dependence in the general dependence equation via Response Surface Methodology.

Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND

Most trauma occurs among young male subjects in Qatar. We examined the predictive values of the delta shock index (DSI), defined as the change in the shock index (SI) value from the scene to the initial reading in the emergency unit (i.e. , subtracting the calculated SI at admission from SI at the scene), at a Level 1 trauma center.

AIM

To explore whether high DSI is associated with severe injuries, more interventions, and worse outcomes [i.e. , blood transfusion, exploratory laparotomy, ventilator-associated pneumonia, hospital length of stay (HLOS), and in-hospital mortality].

METHODS

A retrospective analysis was conducted after data were extracted from the National Trauma Registry between 2011 and 2021. Patients were grouped based on DSI as low (≤ 0.1) or high (> 0.1). Data were analyzed and compared using χ 2 and Student’s t -tests. Correlations between DSI and injury severity score (ISS), revised trauma score (RTS), abbreviated injury scale (AIS), Glasgow coma scale (GCS), trauma score-ISS (TRISS), HLOS, and number of transfused blood units (NTBU), were assessed using correlation coefficient analysis. The diagnostic testing accuracy for predicting mortality was determined using the validity measures of the DSI. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of mortality.

RESULTS

This analysis included 13212 patients with a mean age of 33 ± 14 years, and 24% had a high DSI. Males accounted for 91% of the study population. The trauma activation level was higher in patients with a high DSI (38% vs 15%, P = 0.001). DSI correlated with RTS (r = -0.30), TRISS (r = -0.30), NTBU (r = 0.20), GCS (r = -0.24), ISS (r = 0.22), and HLOS (r = 0.14) (P = 0.001 for all). High DSI was associated with significantly higher rates of intubation, laparotomy, ventilator-associated pneumonia, massive transfusion activation, and mortality than low DSI. For mortality prediction, a high DSI had better specificity, negative predictive value, and negative likelihood ratio (77%, 99%, and 0.49%, respectively). After adjusting for age, emergency medical services time, GCS score, and ISS, multivariable regression analysis showed that DSI was an independent predictor of mortality (odds ratio = 1.9; 95% confidence interval: 1.35-2.76).

CONCLUSION

In addition to sex-biased observations, almost one-quarter of the study cohort had a higher DSI and were mostly young. High DSI correlated significantly with the other injury severity scores, which require more time and imaging to be ready to use. Therefore, DSI is a practical, simple bedside tool for triaging and prognosis in young patients with trauma.

Authors: Kusuma Mahardhika Hadi , Firmansyah Amrie
Published: October 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran peningkatan kapabilitas Aparat Pengawasan Intern Pemerintah (APIP) dalam upaya pencegahan korupsi di Indonesia. Melalui metode kajian literatur, penelitian ini mengkaji berbagai artikel ilmiah, peraturan perundang-undangan, serta laporan yang relevan untuk memahami tantangan, peluang, dan strategi yang diperlukan guna memperkuat peran APIP. Berdasarkan Internal Audit Capability Model (IA-CM), banyak APIP di Indonesia masih berada pada level kapabilitas yang rendah, yang menghambat efektivitas mereka dalam mendeteksi dan mencegah korupsi. Beberapa studi menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan kapabilitas, melalui pembinaan yang komprehensif dari BPKP, berhasil meningkatkan efektivitas pengawasan di beberapa daerah. Namun, tantangan seperti kurangnya dukungan manajemen, keterbatasan anggaran, dan minimnya infrastruktur teknologi menjadi kendala yang harus diatasi. Penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa penerapan teknologi seperti Continuous Auditing (CA) dapat membantu meningkatkan pengawasan, namun diperlukan pelatihan dan dukungan teknis yang lebih baik. Dukungan manajemen dan sinergi antara APIP dengan lembaga penegak hukum juga menjadi kunci dalam memastikan efektivitas pengawasan. Penelitian ini menyarankan agar BPKP memperkuat program pembinaan dan pengembangan teknologi bagi APIP, sementara APIP disarankan untuk meningkatkan kompetensi, etika kerja, dan memanfaatkan teknologi secara maksimal dalam menjalankan tugas pengawasan. Dengan demikian, peningkatan kapabilitas APIP diharapkan dapat secara signifikan berkontribusi pada upaya pencegahan korupsi di Indonesia.

Obesity is caused by a significant increase in adipose tissue due to excessive caloric intake that exceeds energy expenditure. Obesity has emerged as a significant public health issue in both poor resource and economic developed nations, owing to its increased incidence and links to chronic diseases, such osteoarthritis, hypertension, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). It is believed that uncoupled eNOS, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases, xanthine oxidase, lipoxygenase, cyclooxygenase, microsomal P-450 enzymes, and pro-oxidant heme molecules are responsible for the drastic decrease in NO production and the relative increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) secretion, which are considered as the molecular mechanisms associated with obesity-induced endothelial dysfunction. Vascular endothelium defines a monolayer of cells, which lies between the vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and the vessel lumen. It performs a number of protective actions facilitated by the release of nitric oxide (NO), a soluble gas that is generated in endothelial cells by the amino acid L-arginine through the action of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). The maintenance of vascular homeostasis is facilitated by various biological actions of NO, such as modulation of vascular dilator tone, control of local cell growth, and protection of the endothelium from the harmful effects of cellular components in blood circulation, while maintaining normal endothelial functions. Decreased peripheral arterial endothelium-dependent dilation (EDD) in response to mechanical (intravascular shear) or chemical (acetylcholine) stimuli suggests that decreased NO bioavailability has been recognised as major molecular mechanisms associated with the progress and development of obesity-induced endothelial dysfunction. In this review, the modulatory effects of NO in obesity-induced endothelial dysfunction will be discussed.

Literature studies indicate that implementing clinical authority can enhance the quality of nursing care. However, many hospitals still have not fully applied clinical authority aligned with nurses' career paths. This research explores the impact of clinical authority on nurses' performance, both directly and indirectly, through situational leadership in Hospital X. Using a mixed-method approach with a parallel concurrent triangulation model, the study collected quantitative data via questionnaires from 300 nurses using total sampling. Descriptive crosstab analysis revealed no significant differences in perceptions of clinical authority, performance, and situational leadership based on individual characteristics. Structural Equation Modeling showed that clinical authority positively and significantly affects nurse performance. Qualitative data were gathered through focus group discussions with 13 nurses and semi-structured interviews with senior nursing managers. Thematic analysis identified six key themes: positive impacts on performance, the role of situational leadership styles, strategies to optimize nursing services, encountered obstacles, competitive challenges, and motivation to enhance care. The qualitative findings indicated that clinical authority fosters nurses' responsibility, adherence to standards, mutual trust, teamwork, and improved communication and caring attitudes. The corroboration of quantitative and qualitative analyses demonstrated alignment, confirming that clinical authority significantly influences nurse performance. To improve nursing care quality, hospitals are encouraged to implement structured career paths for nurses, ensuring that clinical authority is supported at every level

The current phenomenon shows that teenagers often need more confidence in making career decisions. This study aimed to identify differences in the level of Career Decision Making Self-Efficacy (CDMSE) between male and female students in Senior High School (SMA). The type of research used was quantitative and used a comparative method. The population of this study was 640 students in grades XI and XII in high school. The sample of this study was 200 students taken using a random sampling technique. The method used in collecting data was a questionnaire. The instrument used was the CDMSES-SF scale developed by N.E. Betz. The data analysis technique used in this study was non-parametric analysis with the Mann-Whitney test. The results obtained from the data analysis showed significant differences in the level of CDMSE between male and female students. Male students have higher CDMSE than female students. For male students, special attention is needed on the planning and goal selection aspects, while for female students, it is on the planning aspect. These results suggest that male and female students need different approaches to career guidance, especially in planning and goal selection.

Published: October 2024

The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of digital health education on diabetic foot care among type II diabetic patients using the Health Belief Model (HBM). A total of 30 participants were recruited from local diabetes clinics to receive digital health education focused on diabetic foot care practices. To ensure the validity and reliability of the assessment tools, we employed multiple methods. Content validity was established through expert reviews, while construct validity was examined using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), which confirmed a good factor structure aligned with the HBM constructs. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha for internal consistency, which showed acceptable values ranging from 0.67 to 0.84, and test-retest reliability with Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICC) ranging from 0.74 to 0.78. The results indicate that the digital health education program significantly improved the participants' understanding and practices related to diabetic foot care. These findings underscore the potential of digital education interventions for chronic disease management, particularly for enhancing self-care behaviors in diabetic patients. Future studies should consider larger sample sizes to further validate these tools and results. Overall, this study provides evidence supporting the effectiveness of digital health education for diabetic foot care and validates the reliability and validity of the instruments used.
