Knowledge Gap: There is limited research assessing the understanding and attitudes of university students toward vitiligo, particularly in Middle Eastern regions. Aims: This study aims to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of students at Basrah University’s Bab Al-Zubair complex regarding vitiligo, using a cross-sectional descriptive design. Methodology: A random sample of 300 male and female students participated, responding to a closed-ended questionnaire created from a review of relevant literature. The survey, administered in Arabic, consisted of three parts: sociodemographic characteristics, 16 questions on knowledge, and 7 questions on attitudes toward vitiligo. A three-point Likert scale was used to evaluate responses. Results: The majority of participants demonstrated moderate knowledge of vitiligo, with similar findings in their attitudes, as assessed using an arithmetic mean. Expert validation of the questionnaire ensured the clarity and relevance of its content. Novelty: This study provides the first comprehensive evaluation of university students’ knowledge and attitudes toward vitiligo in Basrah, filling a significant gap in dermatological health education research in the region. Implications: Raising public awareness about vitiligo is crucial to improving the psychological well-being, social integration, and self-esteem of those affected by the condition. These findings highlight the need for educational interventions that can foster better understanding and reduce stigma surrounding vitiligo, particularly in academic settings.

Published: October 2024

General Background: The ABO blood group system is essential in blood transfusion, with subtypes of A and B groups influencing clinical outcomes. Specific Background: Subtypes A1 and A2 differ in the amount of antigen on red blood cells, impacting blood typing accuracy. Knowledge Gap: The prevalence of A2 and A2B subtypes in Iraqi donors remains underexplored, and their detection in routine screening can be challenging. Aims: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of A2 and A2B subtypes among Iraqi blood donors and evaluate the necessity of Anti-A1 reagent in accurate subtype identification. Results: In 2022, type O blood donors were the most prevalent, followed by B, A, and AB. A routine screening identified 0% A2 and 0.7% A2B subtypes, but 5% and 14.2% were A2B. Novelty: This study highlights the limitations of routine serological testing in detecting A subtypes, demonstrating that the use of Anti-A1 reagent significantly improves accuracy. Implications: Given the low rate of discrepancy between forward and reverse grouping, the Anti-A1 reagent should be routinely used for detecting A subtypes in clinical settings. Additionally, molecular techniques may be required to distinguish between rarer A subtypes such as A3, Ax, and Am.
Highlights:
 

ABO subtypes A1 and A2 are vital for precise blood transfusion typing.
Routine tests miss A2; Anti-A1 reagent ensures accurate subtype detection.
Molecular techniques help identify rarer subtypes like A3 and Ax.

Authors: HARMI TJAHJANTI PRANTASI , Ernanda Rico Ryan
Published: October 2024

The General Background Water is essential for human life, but many rural areas still lack access to clean drinking water that meets health standards. In Sumbergedang Village, Pandaan, local water sources are often contaminated by dissolved metals and bacteria, posing risks to community health. Current filtration methods in the area are insufficient, and limited studies explore the combined use of silica sand, activated carbon, manganese zeolite, and UV sterilization for improving rural water quality. This study aims to evaluate the performance of these filtration materials and UV sterilization in producing safe drinking water for the village. The results show that the filtration system increased the pH of the water from 7.94 to 7.98, within acceptable drinking water standards. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of filtration materials with UV sterilization to address both chemical and microbial contaminants, offering a comprehensive solution for water purification. The findings suggest that, while the system effectively improves most water quality parameters, additional treatments may be required to reduce aluminum levels to meet national drinking water standards. These results have important implications for water management in rural areas facing similar challenges.
Highlihts:

Authors: Sugiyono Bunga Fadilah Senja Putri , Rodiyah Isnaini
Published: October 2024

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the SIPRAJA application for population administration services in Glagaharum Village. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the research found that the application is not yet effective due to limited socialization and technological challenges faced by the community. Most residents prefer offline services because of the complexity of the online system and insufficient human resources, with only one operator and verifier. Despite the potential for expedited processes, technical issues cause delays, making offline submissions more appealing. Better training and resources are needed to improve the application's effectiveness and overall public service quality.
 
Highlight:  

Limited socialization and technical issues reduce SIPRAJA's usage.
Single operator causes inefficiencies in application processing.
Technical problems hinder effectiveness and increase manual submissions.

Tax strategies drive earnings management in Indonesia
Authors: Alfadin Muhamad Fahmi , Ernandi Herman
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the direct and indirect effects of tax planning and deferred tax expense on earnings management, using tax rates as a moderating variable, among LQ45 index companies on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (BEI) from 2017-2019. Using a quantitative descriptive method and Smart PLS 3 software for analysis, the study found that tax planning significantly influences earnings management, while deferred tax expense does not. Tax rates moderate the impact of tax planning but not deferred tax expense on earnings management. These results emphasize the role of tax planning in earnings management and suggest that tax rates should be considered in regulatory policies. Future research should explore additional variables like company age and size.
 
Highlight: 

Tax planning significantly influences earnings management.
Tax rates moderate tax planning's effect on earnings management.
Deferred tax expense has no direct impact on earnings management.

Financial Technology and Literacy Shaping Students' Financial Management with Digital Literacy
Authors: Fadiyah Nur Laily , Widodo Heri
Published: October 2024

Financial management behavior is crucial for students, particularly as they engage with evolving financial technologies. However, there is a limited understanding of how financial technology and financial literacy interact to shape financial behavior, especially when considering digital literacy as a moderating factor. This study addresses this knowledge gap by examining the roles of financial technology and financial literacy on students' financial management behavior, with digital literacy as a potential moderator. Using a quantitative research method, primary data were gathered through a questionnaire survey from a sample of 114 accounting students at Muhammadiyah University of Sidoarjo, class of 2020. The findings indicate a positive relationship between financial technology and financial literacy on financial management behavior. Furthermore, digital literacy was found to moderate the effect of financial technology, strengthening its influence on students' financial management behavior. However, digital literacy did not moderate the influence of financial literacy on financial management behavior. The novelty of this research lies in its exploration of digital literacy's role as a moderating variable. Implications suggest the importance of incorporating digital literacy into financial education programs to enhance students' financial management practices. Highlights:   Positive Relationship: Financial technology and literacy improve students' financial management behavior. Moderating Role: Digital literacy strengthens the effect of financial technology on financial behavior. No Moderation: Digital literacy does not moderate the impact of financial literacy on behavior.
