Social Participation Program for Older Adults with Dementia Residing in Long Term Care Facilities
Authors:   , McClelland Keri
Published: May 2024

Social participation is characterized by activities that involve social interaction with others and supports social interdependence; individuals engage in this occupation through a variety of contexts including with their community, family, friends, and peers (American Occupational Therapy Association, 2020). Social participation has been discovered to influence general health and well-being, cognitive health, risk of dementia, and stress (Sommerlad et al., 2023). Dementia is a prevalent disease affecting approximately 50 million individuals worldwide (Sommerlad et al., 2023) causing increased dependence and disability among the older adult population and is shown to be growing as the aging population increases in number (Wang et al., 2023). The aim of this capstone project is to create a program to promote social participation between older adults with dementia in long term care (LTC) settings to improve occupational engagement and quality of life. Through the implementation of this capstone program, older adults with dementia residing in LTC settings will engage in structured group activities in familiar social contexts to improve their occupational engagement and further improve their quality of life through this experience.
Camper’s and Scarpa’s fasciae: Anatomic landmark to differentiate between lymph node and abdominal wall involvement in a case of lymphoma
Authors: Kaewsathorn Chayaporn , Kritcharoen Wethaka , Bhuthathorn Laksika
Published: May 2024

Cutaneous involvement of MALT lymphoma can either be primary or secondary, Secondary spread to the skin is considered disseminated extra-nodal disease involvement, which is classifies as a stage IV disease.
We described a case of a 44-year-old woman with MALT lymphoma of the lacrimal glands with biopsy-proven lymphoma involvement in the subcutaneous tissue of the anterior abdominal wall. This involvement is manifested as multiple small discrete solid enhancing subcutaneous nodules. Although such findings on conventional CT scans are usually non-specific and may present in various systemic conditions, the knowledge of the patient’s prior clinical history should alert interpreting radiologists to be aware of cutaneous and subcutaneous involvement of lymphoma. This awareness can help plan the use of imaging-guided tissue biopsy for a minimally-invasive and safe acquisition of tissue specimen for histopathological diagnosis.

Authors: Nurkhasanah Lia , Hayati Farida , Istikharah Rochmy
Published: May 2024

Background: For preclinical studies of diabetic wound therapy, zebrafish have many orthologous signalling pathways that play essential roles in wound healing and regeneration.
Objectives: This study compares the expression of four essential wound-healing genes and caudal fin regeneration in hyperglycemic zebrafish (Danio rerio) to normal zebrafish.
Methods: Hyperglycemia was induced by using the intraperitoneal injection method with 350 mg/BW streptozotocin on days one, three, and five. The regeneration of the zebrafish's caudal fin was observed on day 5 after amputation using a stereomicroscope, followed by sampling of the blastema to analyse gene expression. Caudal fin regeneration was analysed using Zeiss Zen 3.3 blue documentation; blood glucose levels were measured using a glucometer; and relative gene expression analysis of sonic hedgehog (shh), insulin-like growth factor 2a (igf2a), bone morphogenetic protein 2b (bmp2b), collagen 1a2 (col1a2) was performed by qRT-PCR method.
Results: The glucose level in the hyperglycemia group was 203.2 mg/dL, and that in the normal group was 59.5 mg/dL. The authors found that igf2a, shh, bmp2b, and col1a2 expression were all downregulated in the hyperglycemia group and decreased in caudal fin regeneration.
Conclusion: This novel adult zebrafish model of hyperglycemia significantly impairs gene expression and caudal fin regeneration.

Authors: Kurniawan Muhammad Fariez , Hariyadi Dewi Melani , Setyawan Dwi
Published: May 2024

Background: The variation of pectin extracted from red dragon skin (Hylocereus polyrhizus) depends on the type of acid, temperature, and length of extraction time.
Objective: This research was conducted to determine the characteristics of pectin produced from red dragon skin based on using citric, oxalic, and acetic acids at pH 4, extraction temperature of 60°C and 75°C, and duration of 120 minutes.
Method: A total of six conditions for pectin extraction were performed and the obtained product was dried using the freeze-dryer. Furthermore, the optimisation included yield, moisture content (MC), equivalent weight (EW), methoxyl content (MeO), galacturonic acid content (GA), degree of esterification (DE), sugar and organic acid levels (SO), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) was performed.
Result: The EW value of red dragon skin and commercial apple pectin were comparable but the MeO value was slightly different from those extracted with 75°C oxalic acid. Compared to commercial apple and orange skin, the GA value of red dragon pectin extracted with 75°C oxalic acid was not different.
Conclusion: FT-IR spectra contained groups -OH, -CH, and C=O and were confirmed to have a GA structure. The best product was obtained by conducting extraction under the condition of 75°C for 120 minutes using oxalic acid.

Authors: Puspitasari Arina Dery , Astanti Erika , Putri Novika Selvia , Veterini Anna Surgean
Published: May 2024

Background: In Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), invasion and activation of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators and cytokines result in oxidative damage to the lung tissue. Aminophylline is a combination of theophylline and ethyl diamine, has anti-inflammatory, bronchodilator, ROS inhibitor effects, and stimulates surfactant release. Mortality of ARDS in COVID-19 patients is high; aminophylline is expected to reduce the incidence of mortality. Information regarding the use of aminophylline in COVID-19 patients with ARDS is still limited.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of aminophylline in inflammatory parameters in COVID-19 patients with ARDS.
Methods: It was a retrospective cohort observational study at the Universitas Airlangga Hospital. Samples were hospitalised COVID-19 patients with ARDS who received a loading dose of 240-480 mg and a maintenance dose of 720-960 mg aminophylline. The primary outcomes were improved C-reactive protein (CRP), IL-6, lymphocytes, neutrophils, and Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), which were measured before and after administration of aminophylline with a duration of therapy of 1-5 days.
Result: A total of 50 patients with ARDS were enrolled in the study. Lymphocyte and CRP decreased (p = 0.002; p = 0.128). IL-6, neutrophil, and NLR increased (p = 0.255; p = 0.064; p = 0.005).
Conclusion: It can be concluded that the administration of aminophylline has not improved inflammatory parameters.

Authors: Setyawati Herni , Yunita Oeke , Syahrani Achmad
Published: May 2024

Background: One of the autoimmune diseases associated with high mortality is lupus or Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). In addition to symptomatic therapy, the treatment management of this condition includes immunomodulatory therapy. Various studies have been carried out on immunomodulators from natural products. Ginger rhizome (Zingiber officinale Roxb.) is a plant with potential immunomodulatory activity. Shogaol, which gives a spicy taste, is a metabolite of gingerol, a marker compound in ginger. Both of these compounds become important components of pharmacological activity.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the in silico immunomodulatory activity of gingerol and shogaol compounds contained in ginger against S100A9, CTLA-4, SRSF1, JAK3, and MYD88 receptors.
Method: In silico, a test was carried out using Pymol and PyRx applications, and receptors were involved in developing the immune system and SLE disease.
Result: Docking results showed negative binding affinity and an RMSD of 2˚Angstroms. The shogaol, gingerol, and tofacitinib had several amino acid residues in common.
Conclusion: In-silico analysis suggests that shogaol and gingerol could modulate the immune response against lupus. The resulting protein residues were similar between shogaol, gingerol, and the control, supporting their potential for immunomodulatory activity against lupus disease.

Authors: Mahardika I Gusti Agung Putu Deddy , Nita Yunita , Priyandani Yuni
Published: May 2024

Background: The claim payment method in JKN program uses the prospective Indonesian Case Base Groups (INA-CBG) method, in which the rate has been determined before health services are provided based on the diagnosis code group. This potentially causes a discrepancy in the costs incurred by health facilities.
Objective: This systematic review aimed to provide an overview of the comparison of actual hospital costs with the INA-CBG rates of the JKN program for inpatient stroke.
Method: The collection method used a PRISMA flowchart on several databases. This systematic review is a comparative study comparing the significance of the average actual direct medical costs with the INA-CBG rates.
Result: Cost differences on intracerebral haemorrhage (I619) and unspecified stroke diagnosis (I64) consistently give a negative difference around IDR 110,659 – IDR 8,184,007/patient/episode. Medicine and medical equipment are the most significant components of stroke treatments. Factors that significantly influence direct medical costs are the length of stay (LOS), class of JKN, and age.
Conclusion: Cost differences can be influenced by several factors that can affect the direct medical costs of hospitals. The factor that has the most influence on the amount of direct medical cost is LOS.
Development and physicochemical characterization of nanostructured lipid carriers for entrapment of vitamin D3 prepared at different lipid ratios
Authors: Kristianingsih Ida , Hendradi Esti , Siswodihardjo Siswandono , Yuwono Mochammad
Published: May 2024

Background: Vitamin D3 plays a role in immunity, especially in the body's regulation of the inflammatory response. The limitations of vitamin D3 are poor bioavailability and water-insoluble. Nanostructured Lipid Carriers (NLC) can increase the solubility of water-insoluble active ingredients.
Objective: To develop NLC as a delivery agent of vitamin D3 for topical application.
Method: NLC was created using a high-shear homogenisation method with various lipid ratios. NLC uses solid lipids (Monostearin) and liquid lipids (Miglyol 812) with variations in the ratios of F1 (7:3), F2 (8:2) and F3 (9:1).  NLC is expected to be able to protect the active ingredients in the lipid matrix so that the stability of the active ingredients increases. Characterisation was performed in organoleptic, pH, particle size, viscosity, zeta potential, and entrapment efficiency.
Result: Vitamin D3 NLC system had good characteristics: pH suitable for topical use, particle size < 600nm, PI < 0.5, Zeta potential -26.80 to -33.76. F1 resulted in the highest entrapment efficiency of 82.18%.
Conclusion: Vitamin D3 NLC systems with different lipid concentration ratios affect the physical and chemical characteristics. Increasing the liquid lipid content in the Vit D3 NLC system can reduce particle size and viscosity and increase entrapment efficiency.

Published: May 2024

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most diagnosed cancer among women worldwide and the second-most cause of women's deaths. The interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) are critical for BC pathogenesis. They participate in BC development and progression by regulating several pathways. The findings of this review paper can potentially guide the development of targeted therapies that can improve the prognosis and treatment outcomes for BC patients.    
Objective: To make a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the original papers on the role of IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α in BC development and progression.   
Method: This literature review is an iterative and objective analysis of the English original papers published in the last five years, which linked IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α, and BC.   
Result: IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α significantly affect angiogenesis, proliferation, apoptosis, survival, and metastatic in BC by regulating the PI3K-PKB/Akt, JNK, IL-6/JAK/STAT3, Ras/Raf, AKT, MAPK, and NF-κB pathways. They also modulate the TME by promoting the production of extracellular matrix components and stimulating the recruitment of immune cells.    
Conclusion: Inhibiting IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α and their downstream signalling intermediates could be promising strategies for suppressing BC development and progression. Further in-depth research is necessary to develop novel targeted therapies and improve patient outcomes.

To minimize this crime, good cooperation between authorized institutions is needed.
Corporate Support as a Strategic Factor for Increasing the Economic Efficiency of Enterprises
Authors: Hubarenko Olena
Published: May 2024

"This study explores the impact of corporate support mechanisms—financial assistance, technology transfer, and consultancy services—on the economic efficiency of enterprises, integrating stakeholder analysis, prioritization, and theory into its analysis. Utilizing logistic regression on data from 250 diverse enterprises, the study reveals significant enhancements in economic efficiency through corporate support. Financial assistance increased the likelihood of high economic efficiency by 2.0 times, with technology transfer being even more influential, making enterprises 3.5 times more likely to achieve high efficiency. Consultancy services also played a significant role, improving efficiency likelihood by 1.8 times. The analysis provided a confidence interval of 1.2 to 2.7 for consultancy services, with a p-value of 0.005, highlighting its relevance. Additionally, the study delved into the role of enterprise characteristics and the competitive environment, revealing nuanced insights into their interaction with corporate support effectiveness. While enterprise size and sector did not exhibit a direct significant impact on economic efficiency, the competitive market dynamics were found to slightly decrease the likelihood of achieving high efficiency, with a negative coefficient indicating a complex relationship. The research further examines the complex interplay between corporate support and factors such as enterprise characteristics, market competition, and importantly, stakeholder interests. It suggests that aligning corporate support strategies with the nuanced expectations and priorities of stakeholders—not just focusing on direct economic gains—can significantly bolster an enterprise’s growth and operational efficiency. By advocating for tailored support strategies that consider the diverse needs and conditions of enterprises along with a comprehensive stakeholder approach, the findings highlight the essential role of corporate support in enhancing economic performance and competitive advantage, emphasizing the critical need for policies and practices that are responsive to both enterprise needs and stakeholder considerations."

Determinants of Rural Financial Inclusion in India: A Short Note using the AIDIS 2019
Authors: Baria Bhagirath Prakash
Published: May 2024

"The present study utilizes the latest All India Debt & Investment Survey released in 2019 to examine the factors shaping rural financial inclusion across 28 selected states of India. A fresh set of socio-economic factors are incorporated into the analysis of financial inclusion determinants identified through a rigorous review of literature. Rural asset ownership including land, rural wealth inequality, education, rural population density, and rural unemployment are located as the key determinants. Elasticities of financial inclusion, measured from a deposit perspective, concerning these variables are worked out using a loglog regression model. The study found that improvements in the level of wealth ownership, education, and population density can promote rural financial inclusion. However, inequality in distribution of rural wealth, higher land ownership amongst indebted households, and higher rural unemployment worsens financial inclusivity in rural India. Furthermore, results show considerable robustness across gender-based inclusion measures; though, the size of the estimated elasticities differs across genderspecifications of financial inclusi"
