Authors: Wulan Nur , Nugraha Moch. Didik
Published: December 2024

Latar Belakang: Generasi Z cenderung menghadapi tekanan sosial dan psikologis yang lebih besar dibandingkan generasi sebelumnya. Studi menunjukkan prevalensi self-harm Gen Z yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan generasi sebelumnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara jenis kelamin  dengan kejadian self harm pada remaja generasi Z di SMA X Kabupaten Kuningan.Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan metode cross sectional. Sampel dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 81 orang mengunakan teknik random sampling. Kuesioner penelitian ini menggunakan Delibrate Self harm Inventory (DSHI). Analisis data menggunakan chi square.Hasil: Seluruh remaja, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan, pernah melakukan self-harm. Pada remaja laki-laki, mayoritas (74,1%) melakukan self harm dengan kategori rendah, sedangkan pada remaja perempuan, mayoritas (51,9%) melakukan self-harm dengan kategori tinggi. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa jenis kelamin memengaruhi tingkat keparahan self harm, dengan perempuan lebih cenderung mengalami self-harm yang lebih serius. Temuan ini diperkuat oleh hasil analisis yang menunjukkan hubungan signifikan antara jenis kelamin dan kejadian self harm (p=0,026).Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan signifikan antara jenis kelamin dan kejadian self harm.

Published: December 2024

The inadequate prevalence of postpartum contraceptive utilization is attributable to insufficient communication, information, and educational services. E-learning media warrants consideration due to its cost-effectiveness and ability to present knowledge in an appealing fashion, which influences the recipient's self-efficacy for postpartum contraception. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of family planning counseling media with e-learning on postpartum contraceptive selection at Wonosamudro Public  Health Center. Qualitative research type Quasi-experimental approach. This research employs a pre-test and post-test group design. The populace of postpartum mothers in the Wonosamudro Health Center working area in 2023 was 386 patients; the inclusion criteria were postpartum mothers after 14 days postpartum, giving birth for the first time either average or Sectio Caesaria. The number of research samples was 80 respondents. The univariate analysis uses central tendency data, and the bivariate analysis uses the Paired T-Test test because the normality test results are typical (p value> 0.05). The results showed that after debriefing/education and follow-up via WhatsApp group and TikTok, there was a significant increase in scores (35.24). The significance level (2-tailed) of 0.000 (<0.05) indicates a substantial difference (meaningful influence) between before and after e-learning in the selection of postpartum contraception.

Impact of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide on the Physical and Chemical Properties of Leather
Authors: Prokein M. , Renner M.
Published: December 2024

Leather, a versatile material, faces high resource consumption and waste issues in production. This study explores the use of supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) as a green solvent for leather impregnation, assessing its impact on the leather’s chemical and physical properties. Furniture and upper shoe leathers were exposed to CO2 pressures between 100 and 250 bar at 40°C. Results show decreasing fat content with increased pressure, which correlates with reduced tensile strength - especially significant in upper shoe leather at 250 bar with a nearly 50% reduction in fat content from 7% to 3.7% and tensile strength from 480 N to 250 N. However, pressure treatment can also enhance tensile strength when fat reduction is low. The highest increase in tensile strength, from 110 N to 180 N, was observed for furniture leather following treatment at 100 bar. In industrial settings with lower CO2 surplus, fat extraction impacts are assumed to be minimal, suggesting significant potential for resource-efficient leather production using scCO2.

The aim of this research was to identify the key factors determining the level of soil liming in Poland. Spatial analyses were conducted using data from the 2020 National Agricultural Census. The study presents regional variations in selected parameters that characterise agricultural production quality and structural features, including the market connections of farms. The Classification and Regression Trees (C&RT) method was employed to identify the factors that most significantly influence the intensity of liming in the examined districts. These factors include the share of permanent grasslands, labour inputs, the percentage of farms engaged in commercial production, farm size, and the level of mineral fertilisation (NPK). The results indicate that regions with larger farms and higher NPK fertilisation tend to apply more lime. In contrast, areas with a higher share of permanent grasslands and labour-intensive activities show lower levels of liming. These findings suggest that improving agricultural practices, particularly in regions with small farms and limited fertilisation, could enhance soil liming efforts and align them with the European Green Deal's goals for sustainable agriculture.

Published: December 2024

The wide usage of complex signals in radiolocation and communication determines the relevance
of synthesizing, researching, and optimizing such signals. This article aims to derive calculation formulas for estimating the minimum limit of the achievable level of sidelobes of the zero section for the ambiguity function of discretely encoded radio pulse sequences. The introduction of the optimality coeffi cient provides a measure of the excess of the sidelobe level above the potentially achievable minimum. Radio pulse sequences based on Barker codes are shown to be optimal according to the criterion of the minimum level of the sidelobes of the zero section for the ambiguity function. The results of the optimality analysis of multiphase radio pulse sequences based on the Frank code, multiphase sequences based on the Chu code and phase-manipulated M-sequences are presented. The results can be used in radiolocation and communication.

Published: December 2024

The analysis of soft clustering methods of documents and probabilistic distributions of terms and
topics leads us to consider computational methods and tools for modeling the dynamics of polytopic fl ows in a multidimensional information space. We propose an optimized stochastic model that captures the dynamics of soft clustering of knowledge networks in an information space. This model is based on semantic connections in texts of a specifi c subject area, which are extracted from scientometric and bibliographic databases. Using the theoretical model, we developed an algorithm and methodology for applying advanced text analytics, which includes the identifi cation of hidden topics and the prediction of trends. The developed methodology allows, with a certain level of cientifi c objectivity, to predict new technologies and current scientifi c directions in a given specifi c research area, including for solving theoretical, applied and management problems. The
practical results led to the development of a glossary of predictive terms “Information Technologies and Communications”. We recommend using this glossary in the educational process of the general and vocational education system.

The analysis of the causes of occurrence and ways of minimizing voids that are formed inside
soldered joints is carried out. Voids that form during soldering signifi cantly reduce both the mechanical and electrical strength of the joint. In addition, thermal conductivity signifi cantly decreases, especially in component housings, where the soldered joint also acts as a heatsink.
We propose two alternative approaches leading to a decrease in the formation of voids in soldered joints. The fi rst approach involves changing the roughness of the solder mask, which affects the distribution of fl ux around the contact pad. Research shows that a higher roughness of the solder mask positively affects the better spreading of the fl ux released during solder refl ow. Here, the fl ux spot is larger and less of it gets into the solde red joint, which leads to a minimization of the volume and number of voids. The second approach includes applying not one large amount of solder paste, but several small ones, separated by small gaps. Moreover, to maintain the volume of the solder dose, it is proposed to use thicker stencils to apply solder paste. The presence of gaps between the spots of solder paste contributes to better displacement of gases released during refl ow.
Cartografías del yo
Authors:   , Durán Laura Beatriz
Published: December 2024

Esta tesis centra su investigación en las modulaciones e inflexiones particulares del yo en el documental en primera persona realizado por mujeres, en Argentina, desde mediados del siglo XX hasta el presente. Estas modulaciones e inflexiones orbitan e interpelan las construcciones sexo-genéricas, las sacuden y las revierten, desde hace varias décadas. Esas voces narrativas (esas transformaciones) pusieron en jaque la naturalización del punto de vista neutro o, si se quiere, la pregnancia de la voz patriarcal atribuida al documental. Para describir estas transformaciones, nuestro análisis se recorta en tres escenarios singulares: un primer escenario de carácter formativo, ubicado hacia 1970, en el que identificamos, a partir de los films de María Luisa Bemberg, una primera persona que no estará presente de manera evidente, pero que hará su entrada en forma de recursos oblicuos: observaciones sobre el mundo histórico a la manera de un diario, uso de testimonios de terceros, operaciones en clave irónica o paródica, escritura en plano. Luego identificamos un segundo momento, alrededor del cambio de siglo, marcado por una asunción más evidente de la primera persona y de ensayo, ejercicio y experimentación con sus posibilidades a partir de una puesta en tensión de asuntos como la identidad, la memoria, el pasado y la historia. La revisión del pasado reciente y la desconfianza sobre su relato serán algunas de las claves de este cine. En este tramo, nos ocupamos de Los rubios, film que reúne gran cantidad de esas transformaciones e inaugura un ciclo de piezas que operaron a partir un mismo centro de trabajo. Finalmente, identificamos un tercer momento, alrededor de 2010, en el que los films de la primera persona se aproximaron con mayor énfasis a un terreno de indagación de ideas ligadas a los géneros y las sexualidades, añadidos estos tópicos a los problemas de la historia y la memoria. El problema del archivo aquí asumió un fuerte protagonismo, a la par que los films comenzaron a disponer de otras formas del tiempo y de la historia.
Descriptifs de dispositifs didactiques
Authors: Cotelli Kureth Sara , Noghrechi Hasti
Published: December 2024

Le dispositif didactique analysé et décrit dans cet article suit un objectif double : amener les participant·e·s à développer leur apprentissage en autonomie et leur littéracie en traduction automatique neuronale (TAN). Ces outils sont massivement utilisés par les migrant·e·s, mais pas toujours à bon escient. Il est donc crucial de cadrer et de thématiser leur utilisation dans les classes de langues, même au niveau débutant. Plusieurs types d’exercices ont été créés : 1. Pour introduire ces outils à la fois comme de bons modèles et des bases pour la communication ; 2. Pour montrer que la TAN a des limites (ne représente pas toute la langue ; peut proposer un output fautif) ; et 3. Pour fixer un cadre et des situations où l’utilisation de cette technologie n’est pas utile. L’évaluation de ce dispositif a montré son succès relatif, même si une introduction théorique à la TAN aurait pu permettre un meilleur développement de la littéracie en TAN des participant·e·s.
SELETIVIDADE ALIMENTAR NA INFÂNCIA: EXPLORANDO AS RAÍZES PSICOLÓGICAS E DESDOBRAMENTOS NO DESENVOLVIMENTO INFANTIL
Authors: Lívia Brasil Pontes Ana , Goldfarb de Oliveira Juliana , de Oliveira Silva Daniel , Maria Braga Fernandes Abreu Hilana
Published: December 2024

Introdução: O presente artigo tem como tema a Seletividade Alimentar (SA) na infância, destacando as influências psicológicas e psicossociais que definem os modelos de comportamento alimentar e seus efeitos no desenvolvimento infantil. Objetivos: Os objetivos basearam-se em identificar as causas psicológicas da seletividade alimentar na infância, considerando fatores como aversões sensoriais, influências familiares e experiências emocionais. Para tanto, fez-se necessário investigar os efeitos psicossociais da seletividade alimentar, incluindo a relação com o bem-estar emocional da criança e dinâmicas familiares, e analisar a influência das primeiras experiências alimentares na formação de preferências e aversões. Metodologia: O trabalho trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, com concentração em estudos publicados entre 2013 e 2023, nas bases de dados SciELO, LILACS e Google Acadêmico. No decorrer da coleta de dados, que aconteceu entre abril e maio de 2024, foram aplicados descritores determinados pelo tema, como relacionados à seletividade alimentar, influências psicológicas e dinâmicas familiares, com o objetivo de escolher artigos que discutissem as causas e efeitos psicossociais da seletividade alimentar na infância. Resultados: Os resultados apontaram que a dinâmica familiar, abrangendo práticas alimentares e a qualidade das interações durante as refeições, impacta significativamente o comportamento alimentar infantil. Uma base rígida ou permissiva pode dar origem à ansiedade e tensões, potencializando a SA e comprometendo a saúde emocional da criança. Conclusão: Com a avaliação dos estudos alcançados foi possível concluir que a seletividade alimentar na infância é um fenômeno complexo e multifatorial, com significativas implicações para o desenvolvimento emocional e comportamental das crianças. Elementos intrínsecos, como as aversões sensoriais a certos alimentos, e elementos extrínsecos, como as práticas alimentares e o ambiente familiar, exercem papéis importantes nos desenvolvimentos de padrões alimentares seletivos. As experiências alimentares iniciais, sobretudo a introdução gradual e diversificada de alimentos, revelam-se determinantes na prevenção da seletividade alimentar, aumentando as preferências alimentares e impulsionando a aceitação de uma maior variedade de sabores e texturas.

PALAVRAS-CHAVE: seletividade alimentar; transtornos alimentares na infância; desenvolvimento psicológico; comportamento infantil; parentalidade.

Published: December 2024

Financial education is a fundamental component in the formation of high school students, as it is linked to their ability to make financial decisions that could influence their long-term economic well-being. This study aims to analyze the relationship between financial education and financial decision-making among students in emblematic schools in the city of Puno, Peru, during the 2024 period. The research employs a quantitative approach with a non-experimental, cross-sectional, and correlational design. A representative sample of 572 fifth-year high school students from three emblematic schools in the city was surveyed. The results indicate a moderate positive relationship between financial education and decision-making, with a Spearman correlation coefficient (rho = 0.451). This suggests that, while financial education is an important factor, it is not the only determinant in financial decision-making. These findings highlight the importance of continuing to promote financial education to improve students' economic well-being; however, they also suggest that other factors may influence decision-making. Future research is encouraged to consider contextual and social variables to gain a deeper understanding of the factors affecting financial decision-making in high school students.

Background: Identification of the markers of effect of environment and nutrition on the human body, given their interplay, remains relevant for health risk assessment.
Objective: To identify markers of children’s health effects of environmental exposures and nutrition with account for their mutual influences.
Materials and methods: The study involved 197 preschool children living in two towns of the Sverdlovsk Region with different levels of environmental pollution. In January 2022 to June 2024, we tested mass concentrations of 19 metals, cytogenetic parameters of buccal epithelium, interleukins (IL-1, IL-4), glutathione-S-transferase, and 60 organic acids in urine of the subjects. We also evaluated the preschool menu and off-school nutrition, anthropometric parameters, morbidity based on outpatient cards, and health status using a questionnaire-based survey. Microsoft Excel and IBM SPSS were used for statistical data analysis.
Results: We established that in the children living in the territory with high airborne risks, the levels of exposure to seven chemicals exceeded the reference values, especially those of aluminum and manganese by 3.9 and 2.5 times, respectively. Cytogenetic damage to buccal epithelial cells, higher values of markers of allergic reactions (IL 4), higher values of glutathione-S-transfer and organic acids, and markers of detoxification were also more frequent in this group (p < 0.001). We noted that the diet of children was deficient in vitamins B1 and C, calcium, and, judging by the markers of organic acids, essential amino acids and vitamins B9 and B12. The exposed children differed from the controls in high exposure to arsenic, mercury, and copper; there was also a larger proportion (85 %) of children with cells with micronuclei and atypical nuclei, high concentrations of inflammatory cytokines (IL 1), energy and protein deficiencies, excess sugars in the diet, and markers of energy metabolism disorders among them.
Conclusions: The identified markers of two non-adaptive metabolotypes to environmental exposure and nutritional phenotypes will allow a differentiated approach to developing diets.

This research aims to identify spatial patterns of landforms in coastal areas using Geographic Information System (GIS)-based spatial analysis and qualitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that the landscape pattern in the coastal area of Manado City is hollow and indented, influenced by coastal reclamation activities. The current condition is dominated by artificial landscapes, with the longest coastline of 7.4 km located in segment 3 (covering North Titiwungen, South Titiwungen, North Wenang, South Wenang and Calaca villages) which supports trade and service activities. Meanwhile, a natural landscape with a coastline length of 1.37 km is found in segment 1 (covering Malalayang 2, Malalayang 1, and Malalayang 1 East villages) with traditional functions such as parking for fishing boats. The topography of the area is lowland (0-12m above sea level) with slopes (0-15%), dominated by land for settlements, trade and services. This study provides an understanding of the spatial pattern of landscapes to support sustainable coastal management.Keyword: Landform; Reclamation; Coastal; Spatial patterns; Manado.
Role of Corporate Transparency on Financial Performance of Commercial Banks Listed in the Nairobi Security Exchange
Authors: Karanja Teresiah
Published: December 2024

Financial stability and integrity of the system heavily rely on corporate transparency. Despite existing regulatory requirements, persistent issues such as unclear financial statements, questionable accounting practices, and insufficient disclosures undermine investor confidence and market efficiency. These shortcomings can lead to conflicts of interest, mismanagement, and increased exposure to financial risks. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of corporate transparency on the performance of listed commercial banks in Kenya, specifically focusing on financial transparency and governance transparency. Guided by theories such as agency theory and stewardship theory, the study adopted a positivism research philosophy and a correlation design. The target population consisted of employees from listed commercial banks that have consistently operated on the securities exchange between 2008 and 2023. A census sampling method was employed, where data was collected from all 11 listed commercial banks in Kenya, using secondary data from financial reports, regulatory filings, and other publicly available sources from the period 2008 to 2023. Data analysis included descriptive and inferential statistics, such Pearson correlation, multiple regression, the coefficient of determination (R²) and p-values. The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between corporate transparency and commercial bank performance. Financial transparency and governance transparency were found to have positive and significant effects on commercial bank performance, with β coefficients of 0.553 and 0.728, respectively, and p-values < 0.05, leading to the rejection of the null hypotheses for both variables. Descriptive statistics indicated that listed commercial banks had an average return on capital employed (ROCE) of 7% annually, with a minimum of 9% and a maximum of 17%. Regression results demonstrated that 64.2% of the variation in bank performance could be explained by financial and governance transparency, with an adjusted R² of 61.2%. The study concluded that corporate transparency significantly enhances the performance of listed commercial banks and provides valuable insights to improve corporate governance and financial stability in Kenya’s banking sector.

Authors: Souza Filho Rodrigo de , Oliveira Bruna Figueiredo
Published: December 2024

O presente trabalho tem como proposito discorrer sobre a contribuição teórica de Carlos Nelson Coutinho, na busca pela compreensão de como certos segmentos das camadas populares aderiram às ideologias que conformaram o projeto de governo bolsonarista que são essencialmente contrárias aos seus próprios interesses. Para tanto, retomamos a crítica literária realizada por Coutinho ao livro Triste fim de Policarpo Quaresma de Lima Barreto, e trabalhamos com a categoria de “bizarro” utilizada na análise de Policarpo - presente também em suas reflexões sobre “a hegemonia da pequena política”, ocasião em que resgata Gramsci (1999).

Women enrollment in formal education is significantly helpful for the progress of a nation. Therefore, it is essential to know what kind of barriers and difficulties women encounter in pursuing formal education in Bangladesh. Surprisingly, in Bangladesh, even after taking many initiatives by the government, the participation of women in formal education is not satisfactory. On this backdrop, the present study aims to figure out the obstacles and difficulties that demotivate women deciding on their further education in schools and colleges. The respondents of this research are 20 girls aged between 08-32 years and dropped out from the school level. The research area of this study is a village of Parulia in Mohammadabad Union, under Joypurhat Sadar Upazila, Joypurhat District, Bangladesh. The present research adopts a case study method and data has been collected by unstructured face to face interviews conducted from July 15 to July 17, 2024. The outcomes show that women's participation in formal education is disrupted by such factors as child marriage, insecurity, poverty, social ideologies and neighbor’s gossip, which ultimately leads to the ending of their formal education in Bangladesh. Among these factors child marriage is the prominent one.

Background: Antenatal care (ANC) engagement is essential for ensuring healthy pregnancy outcomes by providing timely medical interventions and education to expectant mothers. In Bangladesh, various factors such as socioeconomic status, education level, and access to healthcare services significantly influence antenatal care (ANC) utilization. This study aimed to explore the trends in antenatal care engagement among women in Bangladesh. Methods: This observational cross-sectional study took place over six months at Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital in Dhaka, Bangladesh. During this period, 100 women admitted to the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Ward for delivery were purposively selected as participants. Thorough clinical examinations and pertinent investigations were conducted. Data analysis was performed using MS Office tools. Results: In Bangladesh, educated women are more likely to have regular antenatal care (ANC) and make at least four visits. Women over 25 years old tend to attend ANC less frequently, whereas regular attendance is seen in 91.1% of women aged 20-25. Primiparous women had a higher ANC attendance rate at 95.7%, but women with higher parity (≥4) also showed an increased usage of ANC services at 71.4%. Cesarean sections were more prevalent in rural areas at 56.4% compared to 71.0% in urban areas. Regarding neonatal outcomes, 15% of babies were born with low birth weight, and prematurity was observed in 15% of cases. Conclusion: In Bangladesh, a rich tapestry of cultural, educational, and socioeconomic elements plays a pivotal role in shaping the way maternal healthcare is sought. There is a notable disparity in access across urban and rural areas, differences in education levels, preferred treatment facilities, economic standing, and pregnancy experiences.

BACKGROUND : Perineal laceration is one of the risk and complication of spontaneous labour resulting intervention in short-term and long-term quality of life. Lack of research in Indonesia on perineal length Lack of research on perineal length in Indonesia, fetal birth weight and fetal head circumference and its impact on spontaneous labour and perineal laceration gave rise to the idea of research in order to minimize the occurrence of complications from perineal laceration in spontaneous labour.OBJECTIVES : To know find out the association between perineal length, fetal head circumference, and fetal weight with degree of perineal laceration in primiparous women.METHODS : Observational cross sectional multi-center study conducted between August 2023 until October 2023 in which all subject that delivered vaginally within inclusion criteria was measured. All data will be further analized to determine the significant predictor of perineal tear.RESULTS : Based on this study The result of this study has indicated that there is no significant association of perineal length with the degree of spontaneous primiparous perineal laceration. While there is an association of fetal head circumference and fetal weight with the degree of spontaneous primiparous perineal laceration in aterm pregnancy. Based on further analysis, fetal head circumference greater than 325 mm increases the risk of severe perineal laceration 4.4 times (PR=4,4; 95% CI=1,4-13,9) and Fetal weight greater than 3097.5 grams increases the risk of 2.7 times (PR=2,7; 95% CI=1,1-6,4) the occurrence of severe perineal laceration.CONCLUSION : There is an association of fetal head circumference and fetal weight with the degree of spontaneous primiparous perineal laceration.

Published: December 2024

Background: Atherosclerosis, the most common cause of CVD, is associated with oxidative stress and cholesterol. Antioxidant and regular physical exercise have been considered as the probable interventions to dampen the process. The pericarp of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana Linn) is known for containing a high amount of xanthones including α-mangostin with antioxidant effects. The current study investigates the anti-atherogenic potential of mangosteen skin extract in nano-emulsion and nano-chitosan formulations, singly and in combination with treadmill exercise, versus the statin, Atorvastatin.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 30 male Wistar rats, divided into six groups: normal diet control (C1), atherogenic diet control (C2), and four treatment groups receiving an atherogenic diet plus treadmill exercise combined with Atorvastatin (T1), standardized mangosteen extract (T2), mangosteen nano-emulsion (T3), or mangosteen nano-chitosan (T4). The aortic tunica intima and tunica intima-media thickness were measured histologically after 56 days.
Results: The aortic intimal thickness was noticeably higher in the atherogenic diet group (C2: 12.13±1.87 mm) compared to the normal diet group (C1: 4.27±0.75 mm). In the treatment groups, the intimal thickness ranged from 2.97±0.45 mm to 4.17±1.70 mm and showed no significant differences from the normal diet group. A similar pattern was seen in the intima-media thickness, with 145.63±17.12 mm recorded for the normal diet group and values ranging from 106.90±10.41 mm to 135.90±12.63 mm in the treatment groups, again without significant differences. Survival analysis using Kaplan-Meier curves showed clear differences between the groups (p < 0.001). The untreated atherogenic diet group (C2) had the poorest survival, with no rats surviving until the study's conclusion. In contrast, survival improved in all treatment groups, with the Mangosteen Nano-chitosan (T4) group and the normal diet group (C1) achieving the best outcomes, as all rats in these groups survived.
Conclusion: Mangosteen skin extracts, whether in nano-emulsion or nano-chitosan forms, combined with treadmill exercise, showed significant differences in maintaining the survivability of rat with atherogenic-induced diet despite no significant differences in preventing atherogenesis compared to Atorvastatin or a normal diet. Further research is needed to confirm these potential therapeutic effects.
Correlation between Urine Albumin Creatinin Ratio (UACR) Value to Urine Osmolality Value and Estimate Glomerular Filtration Rate (EGFR) Value on Patient with Kidney Failure
Authors: Fadilatin Lisa Anis , Aliviameita Andika
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND : Kidney failure is one of the causes of death in the world. Laboratory tests related to kidney function are very important in the management of patients with kidney failure because they are useful in identifying any decline in kidney function, monitoring treatment and progression of kidney disease. The aim of checking the urine albumin creatinine ratio (UACR): is to assess the protein filtration function in the glomerulus. The aim of checking urine osmolality is to assess pre-renal, renal and post-renal hemodynamic status. The aim of examining the estimated glomerular filtration rate (EGFR) is to assess overall glomerular function. EGFR is the gold standard.
AIMS : The aim of this research is to determine 1). the relationship between UACR values and EGFR, 2). The relationship between urine osmolality and EGFR. UACR and urine osmolality are independent variables. Meanwhile, EGFR is the dependent variable. The research sample was all chronic kidney failure in one group. Acute renal failure was made into a group and a separate analysis.
METHOD : This study is a quantitative study with analytical observations through a cross sectional design using 30 samples and was conducted from May to June 2024 at the Central Laboratory Installation of Dr. Saiful Anwar Hospital, East Java Province. UACR and EGFR examination used the principle of photometric test while urine osmolality examination used the principle of electrical conductivity. The data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and the Spearman non-parametric correlation test through SPSS 27.
RESULT :  In the normality test results, it was found that UACR and EGFR values were not normally distributed (p = <0.001) while urine osmolality values were normally distributed (p = 0.523). Spearman's non-parametric correlation test showed that there was no correlation between UACR value to urine osmolality value (p = 0.342) and EGFR value (p = 0.481).
CONCLUSION : The results of this study showed no correlation between UACR value to urine osmolality value and EGFR value in patients with kidney failure.
