Published: November 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi perilaku prokrastinasi pada remaja, dampaknya terhadap prestasi akademis dan kesejahteraan mental, serta peran orang tua, guru, dan lingkungan sekitar dalam mengurangi prokrastinasi. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga mengkaji bagaimana mengelola penggunaan teknologi dan media sosial untuk mengurangi dampak negatif dari prokrastinasi di era modern. Dengan menggunakan metode tinjauan pustaka, teori dan temuan relevan dikumpulkan dari berbagai sumber, termasuk jurnal nasional dan internasional serta buku teks. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor psikologis, sosial, dan lingkungan secara signifikan mempengaruhi tingkat prokrastinasi pada remaja. Self-efficacy yang rendah, tingkat kecemasan yang tinggi, dan dukungan sosial yang rendah dari keluarga dan teman sebaya ditemukan secara signifikan meningkatkan prokrastinasi. Selain itu, lingkungan belajar yang tidak kondusif dan akses yang tidak terkontrol terhadap teknologi, seperti media sosial, juga meningkatkan kecenderungan prokrastinasi. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa pendekatan yang komprehensif yang melibatkan intervensi pada tingkat individu dan lingkungan sangat penting untuk mengurangi prokrastinasi pada remaja. Pelatihan manajemen waktu yang efektif, dukungan emosional, penguatan positif, dan lingkungan belajar yang mendukung di rumah dan sekolah merupakan strategi yang krusial. Keterlibatan aktif dari orang tua dan guru dalam memberikan bimbingan dan dukungan dapat membantu remaja mengatasi prokrastinasi. Memahami dan menangani faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi prokrastinasi diharapkan dapat membantu remaja mengembangkan kebiasaan belajar yang lebih baik dan meningkatkan prestasi akademik mereka.

Published: November 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perbedaan persepsi terhadap Citizen Journalism sebagai bagian dari ranah jurnalisme profesional serta menilai implikasinya terhadap standar jurnalistik dan perlindungan hukum bagi pelaku Citizen Journalism. Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui kajian literatur, wawancara mendalam dengan ahli media, dan analisis isi dari sumber-sumber online serta media cetak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan pendapat mengenai status Citizen Journalism dalam ranah jurnalisme. Sebagian ahli berpendapat bahwa Citizen Journalism belum memenuhi standar jurnalisme profesional, mengingat minimnya penerapan kode etik jurnalistik dan standar verifikasi yang memadai. Namun, kelompok lain menganggap Citizen Journalism sebagai salah satu bentuk jurnalisme modern, karena memiliki elemen-elemen dasar jurnalistik, seperti pelaporan berita dan distribusi informasi menggunakan media digital. Penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa Citizen Journalism berperan dalam memberikan akses kepada masyarakat untuk menyuarakan opini mereka, namun menghadapi tantangan dalam hal perlindungan hukum. Pelaku Citizen Journalism tidak memperoleh perlindungan hukum yang setara dengan jurnalis profesional karena ketiadaan status formal sebagai profesi jurnalistik. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa Citizen Journalism merupakan fenomena yang signifikan dalam era digital, tetapi masih memerlukan pengembangan standar profesional dan pengakuan hukum yang lebih jelas. Implikasi penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya regulasi yang mengakomodasi peran Citizen Journalism tanpa mengabaikan prinsip-prinsip dasar jurnalistik untuk memastikan kredibilitas dan perlindungan hukum yang layak bagi para pelakunya.

Published: November 2024

This study aimed to isolate Staphylococcus spp. from sheep and goats clinically diagnosed with keratoconjunctivitis, and to determine their antimicrobial susceptibility. Phenotypic and genotypic characterisation of biofilm forming ability of the isolates obtained was carried out. Staphylococcus spp. strains isolated from 288 ocular swab samples were identified by MALDI-TOF MS. Antimicrobial susceptibilities of the isolates were determined by the using disk diffusion method. The Congo-red agar method was used to determine the ability to form biofilms. The presence of genes associated to formation of biofilm and toxin synthesis was investigated by PCR. While Staphylococcus aureus was identified in 2 of the 35 strains identified in the research, the remaining isolates were found to be coagulase-negative Staphylococcus spp. The most frequently isolated coagulase-negative strain was identified to be Staphylococcus equorum. The strains were susceptible to enrofloxacin, gentamicin, and tobramycin. While 68.57% of the isolates phenotypically formed biofilms, the AtlE gene had a high positivity rate. Furthermore, the presence of genes responsible for toxin synthesis was not identified in the strains analysed. Based on the findings of the study, it was determined that Staphylococcus spp. isolates should be considered for small ruminant keratoconjunctivitis cases. It was concluded that antimicrobial agents such as enrofloxacin, gentamicin, and tobramycin would achieve success in the treatment of the disease caused by the causative agents.

Currently, there are still many people who do not care about what they eat and drink, both adults and children. The problem faced by the Indonesian people is the low awareness of meeting nutritional needs, one of which is consuming milk. Milk is a source of animal nutrition that contains protein, nutrients and enormous benefits for health. This happens due to a lack of knowledge about how to recognize safe snacks, food, including drinks. The importance of knowledge about drinking milk is still not fully distributed in society, especially among children at SDN 3 Margo Dadi, Jati Agung District, South Lampung Regency. Socialization of the benefits of drinking milk is carried out to increase children's awareness of increasing milk consumption. This activity is carried out in stages, namely 1). field observation 2). counseling, and 3). UHT milk drinking demonstration and will be held on Thursday 23 October 2023 at 13.00 WIB until finished. The benefit of this activity is that it provides students with knowledge about the importance of consuming milk every day.

Evaluating eco-friendly soil neutralizers: The use of pulverized eggshells and clam shells in enhancing rice field soil acidity
Authors: Vasquez Franz Yanzy C. , Fuentes Aileen Grace P. , Casinillo Leomarich F.
Published: November 2024

Soil acidity is an important factor in the yield of rice crops. This article aims to determine the effectiveness of alternative soil neutralizers in agricultural land in the form of utilizing the calcium carbonate and calcium oxide content of pulverized eggshells and clam shells. This study used an independent T-test to determine the difference between the alternative soil neutralizer and commercially- made soil. A total of 45 samples were gathered: these are, along the side of the road, along the irrigation, and away from the road and irrigation. These sites are divided into 4 corners, 1 at the center, and then by 3 based on the depth of the soil sample, separated by 6 inches from top, middle, and bottom. The soil samples were mixed with these neutralizers with a 1:1:2 ratio and recorded a day, three days, and seven days. When mixed with the alternative neutralizers, the results showed a mean of 7.71 pH after seven days while the commercial neutralizers showed a mean of 7.84 pH. The result shows that the alternative neutralizers have a very close value to commercial neutralizers which indicates that they can be used to solve soil acidity at a lower expense. Although the T-test results showed that there is a significant difference between the two neutralizers with a 0.0044 pH value, the difference is just very little and still exhibits an effective result. This implies that the alternative soil neutralizer could be used as an effective, cost-efficient, and eco-friendly substitute.

Published: November 2024

Sustainable household waste management is crucial for any nation. Currently, Malaysia relies heavily on landfilling as a waste disposal method. Unfortunately, most of the waste disposed of is recyclable. One of the contributing factors to householders' unwillingness to recycle is inadequate collection systems. The implementation of an efficient system for collecting recyclable waste would contribute to the improvement of Malaysia's waste management infrastructure, particularly regarding the restricted availability of suitable landfill space in the future. Therefore, this study employed the Miller-Tucker-Zimmer Travelling Salesmen Problem (MTZ-TSP) as a framework to address the issue of collection routing for recyclable material within household areas. For our research study, we have selected twelve households in Rasah, a suburban neighborhood located in Negeri Sembilan, as the empirical preliminary work. It took less than 150 minutes to collect the recyclables from these twelve households.

Recent studies have demonstrated substantial advancements in the treatment of dye wastewater through the synergistic incorporation of graphene oxide (GO) and metal oxide. This research focuses on the successful fabrication of a GO-based composite membrane using the non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) method. Two distinct metal oxides, titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO), were incorporated into polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as the membrane carrier. The resulting membranes, namely PVDF/TiO2, PVDF/ZnO, and PVDF/TiO2/GO, were developed as photocatalyst membranes for the treatment of methylene blue (MB) dye contamination through adsorption-photocatalytic activity. The adsorption process was conducted for 30 minutes before initiating the photocatalytic activity. Upon UV-Vis measurement, the PVDF/TiO2/GO composite membrane exhibited superior dye degradation efficiency, reaching 91.89%, as compared to PVDF/TiO2 (91.38%) and PVDF/ZnO membrane (86.80%). This noteworthy enhancement in dye degradation performance, positions the PVDF/TiO2/GO composite membrane as a promising candidate for applications as a photocatalyst in the treatment of dye wastewater. The results underscore the potential effectiveness of this composite membrane in addressing environmental challenges associated with dye pollution.

Four-metal (II) complexes of a new Schiff base [M(NaNp)(Sal)Cl2] where M=Mn (II), Ni (II), Cu (II), and Fe (II) were synthesized. The Schiff base and its complexes have been synthesized. They have been characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Ultraviolet spectroscopy, Powder X-ray diffraction, and Scanning electron microscopy. The Fourier-transform infrared spectra of the Schiff base and its metal complexes were compared to determine the functional groups involved in the bonding. Results from FTIR spectra indicated that the Schiff bases are tetrahedral in geometry except for the Fe complex, which was revealed to be Octahedral. These complexes were also found to coordinate through the nitrogen of the azomethine group, oxygen of the hydroxyl group, and carbonyl – O atom. Based on the Ultraviolet spectroscopy data, it was confirmed that the complexes had all undergone a hypsochromic shift. The Powder X-ray diffraction study revealed that the complexes exhibited crystalline peaks which confirmed that they are crystalline. The Scanning electron microscopy of the complexes showed that they are agglomerated with a controlled morphological structure.

Published: November 2024

This study examines the efficacy of commercially available fertilizers and organic foliar fertilizers in enhancing the harvest of SL-8H hybrid rice. It aims to address several key questions related to the effects of these fertilizers on various parameters, such as yield, plant height, number of tillers, panicle length, quality based on farmers' preferences, and economic analysis. A Randomized Complete Block Design was used to collect data on the effectiveness of fertilizers in different garden plots. SL-8H rice yield and quality were significantly influenced by both commercial and organic foliar fertilizers. In terms of yield, plant height, number of tillers, and panicle length, organic foliar fertilizers, particularly those derived from Malunggay leaves and molasses, as well as banana peels and molasses, demonstrate comparable or even superior performance compared to commercial fertilizers. Additionally, organic foliar fertilizers provide economic advantages, offering lower production costs and higher returns on investment. For SL-8H rice cultivation, organic foliar fertilizers appear to offer a viable alternative to conventional commercial fertilizers. Although commercial fertilizers perform slightly better, their higher costs do not justify the marginal improvement in yield and quality they provide. Furthermore, the study highlights the apprehensions among farmers concerning foliar fertilizers due to health concerns. Promoting and adopting organic foliar fertilizers would address these concerns while providing comparable benefits in terms of crop yield and economic viability. Thus, adopting organic foliar fertilizers could improve the yield of SL-8H rice and contribute to sustainable farming practices.

Adopting a qualitative approach through a case study design, six mathematics pre-service teachers undergoing practicum attachments at various primary schools in Johor, Malaysia, were purposefully sampled as participants. Data collection included analysis of teaching plans, classroom observations, and interviews with the participants. The mathematical visual tools used for teaching primary mathematics were found to serve multiple roles: as inherent part of mathematics, concretisation of concepts, mitigate pupil difficulties, facilitate hands-on learning experiences, promote retention of information through repetitive use, and make mathematics interesting. In summary, the study underscores the critical role of visual tools in primary mathematics education and highlights the necessity for pre-service teachers to effectively integrate these tools to enhance pupils' learning outcomes.

This study examined the effect of the one-minute-paper cooperative learning strategy on junior secondary school student's academic achievement in business studies in Ogun State Nigeria. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design with a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial matrix. Three research questions and 4 hypotheses guided the study. 200 Junior Secondary School II students, who in their intact classes, were selected from four secondary schools in Ogun State, were used for the experiment. Business Studies Achievement Test (BSAT) was the instrument validated and used for data collection. The reliability coefficient of the BSAT was determined using the Cronbach alpha technique and the analysis yielded a coefficient of 0.85. Mean was used to answer the research questions while Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) was employed to test the hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. The findings showed that there is a significant difference between the mean scores of students taught business studies with a one-minute paper cooperative learning strategy and those taught with lecture methods. Additionally, a significant difference exists between the academic achievement of the rural and urban students when taught business studies with a one-minute paper. The study did not find a significant influence on business students' achievement scores. The study recommends among others the adoption of a one-minute paper cooperative learning strategy in teaching business studies in secondary schools.

Small businesses commonly encounter difficulties in gaining access to credit facilities and continuous capacity building, which affected their survival. Therefore, this study aims to describe managers’ perspectives of business mentoring on small-scale business survival. Specifically, the study identifies the extent to which mentoring aid credit facility accessibility and promote capacity building for small scale business survival. The study utilized a descriptive survey research design. The study population was 1397 registered small scale enterprise in Delta Central Senatorial District of Delta State. A proportionate sampling technique was used to select 140 respondents for the study. Data was collected using a questionnaire as an instrument. Three experts validated the instrument, and Cronbach’s alpha statistics tested the reliability and yielded 0.97. Descriptive statistics of mean was used to answer the research questions with a mean average of 2.50 above as high extent and 2.49 below as low extent. The analysis results showed that mentoring promoted credit facility accessibility and supported the capacity building of entrepreneurs to a high extent to a high extent. Accordingly, it was recommended that there be a forum in states that would help identify mentors in all business sectors to guide credit facility accessibility. Furthermore, there is a need for a sound policy in which business mentoring should be anchored. The sound policy will guide capacity building and other sundry aspects of mentoring to mentees for improving business performance.

Over the years, employers have raised concerns over their dissatisfaction with the skills and knowledge demonstrated by accounting graduates that enter the workforce. One of the IT skills that practitioners felt insufficient was the graduates’ capability to use accounting software applications. This study investigates the moderating effect of gender on the behavioural intention to use accounting software among university students. The technology acceptance model and theory of planned behaviour were used to develop a research model. Data from 438 students, analysed using partial least square structural equation modelling technique, suggested that perceived usefulness, attitude, and perceived behavioural control can influence students’ likelihood to use the accounting software. Gender only moderates the relationship between ease of use and accounting software use intention. The study’s findings benefit accounting professional bodies, managers, software vendors, and technology consultants in promoting the use of accounting software in higher education institutions.

Introduction: Partial anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures present a complex clinical challenge. Traditional treatment options, including conservative management and surgical reconstruction, often yield unpredictable outcomes and extended recovery periods. This case report explores the potential of activated growth factors (AGF), an advanced platelet-rich plasma (PRP) modality, as a novel biological treatment strategy for partial ACL tears.
Case presentation: A 39-year-old male presented with right knee pain and instability following a twisting injury sustained during exercise. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed a partial tear of the anteromedial bundle of the ACL. The patient was treated with a series of three intra-articular injections of AGF, administered at weekly intervals. The AGF was prepared using a proprietary protocol aimed at optimizing growth factor concentration and release. The patient's progress was meticulously monitored through clinical evaluations and functional assessments at 3 and 6 months post-treatment.
Conclusion: This case suggests that AGF may offer a promising alternative for the treatment of partial ACL tears, potentially facilitating accelerated healing and improved clinical outcomes. Further research, including controlled trials, is warranted to validate these findings and establish the efficacy and safety of AGF in a larger patient population.
Potential use of peptides mimicking CRAC/CARC domains as antivirulence therapies to inhibit RTX toxins activities
Authors: Herlax Vanesa
Published: November 2024

In recent years, research efforts have increased to develop new therapeutics aimed at combating antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. These efforts focus on inhibiting the virulence factors bacteria secrete to proliferate. This review aims to highlight the advances in these antivirulence therapies, with a particular emphasis on those utilizing peptides to inhibit toxin activity. Specifically, we will review the mechanism of action of a group of toxins known as Repeat in ToXins (RTX) and the progress made regarding the use of peptides to inhibit their action. Notably, we will discuss the use of peptides mimicking either cholesterol recognition/interaction amino acid consensus (CRAC) or CARC motifs, which are similar to CRAC motifs but have the opposite orientation, to reduce their interaction with cholesterol in target cells. We will present results corresponding to the inhibition of three characteristic toxins of this group: HlyA from Escherichia coli, LtxA from Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, and CyaA from Bordetella pertussis. While these advances are very recent, they are promising for the development of new therapies. The advantage of this type of therapy is that it reduces the selective pressure for the growth of resistant bacteria.
