Online Interventions for the Selective Prevention of Illicit Drug Use in Young Drug Users: Exploratory Study (Preprint)
Authors: Tomazic Tina , Jerkovic Olivera Stanojevic
Published: January 2020

BACKGROUND

Digital technologies have a major impact on the daily lives of young people and are also used to seek information on and help with drug-related issues online.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this article was to analyze current online interventions for young drug users in Slovenia, with the purpose of contributing to the development of guidelines and key recommendations for effective online interventions.

METHODS

This study was part of the project Click for Support. We performed a keyword search, received input from national experts in the field of drug prevention, and conducted an assessment of recognized national online interventions through workshop-based discussions with the target group of 20 young drug users.

RESULTS

The current online intervention services in Slovenia are satisfactory but are still not sufficiently recognized. The most important issues for young drug users were the design and functionality of the online intervention, presence of a clear structure, possibility of using it on smartphones, comprehensive and quick professional feedback, and data security. Playful elements and the ability to share (experiences) with other or former users were also recognized as important.

CONCLUSIONS

With effective online interventions, we can include more young drug users, facilitate access to a more affordable service, provide quick professional feedback on patterns of consumption, increase knowledge about the effects and consequences of drugs, and support the reduction or cessation of drug use. From the public health perspective, it is challenging to provide drug interventions broadly to the target group and, hence, decrease inequities.

Authors: THENGE RAJU , PATEL RAKESH , KAYANDE NANDU , MAHAJAN NILESH
Published: January 2020

Carvedilol an antihypertensive drug, exhibit poor solubility and dissolution rate. Hence an attempt has been made to prepare the Co-crystals of Carvedilol to increase the solubility and dissolution rate by solvent evaporation method using coformer such as succinic acid, fumaric acid and oxalic acid. The prepared Co-crystals were evaluated for  solubility, dissolution rate and micromeritic properties. The Co-crystals were characterized by scanning electronic Microscopy (SEM), FT-Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray Diffractometry (XRD). The CAR-SA Co-crystal, CAR-FA Co-crystals and CAR-OA Co-crystals showed increased in solubility and dissolution rate compared to pure Carvedilol. The Co-crystals formed with coformer have showed improved micromeritic properties. SEM clearly showed the formation of new solid phase with the coformer. The FT-IR spectra indicate the shifting of characteristic peak in the Co-crystals but does not showed any interaction between the coformer used. DSC data showed the change in the endotherm with the melting points of Co-crystals. XRD spectra indicate the notified difference in the 2θ and the intensity of the peaks. Hence the Co-crystal formation could be helpful to improve the solubility, dissolution and micromeritic properties of Carvedilol.

Authors: GHOGARI IMRAN S. , JAIN PRITAM S.
Published: January 2020

Objective: The study is directed towards the development of an orally disintegrating drug delivery system of memantine hydrochloride which can be commercially exploited for the well-being of society for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, which is a most common form of dementia.

Methods: Orally disintegrating immediate-release tablets of memantine hydrochloride were prepared and optimized for disintegration time and in vitro drug release. The top spray granulation method was used for the preparation of granules. Subsequently, these granules were compressed to tablets. The levels of diluent, disintegrant and taste-masking agents were optimized using the design of experiments. The resulting tablets were evaluated for disintegration time and in vitro drug release. The optimized formulation was subjected to accelerated stability study for 3 mo.

Results: The optimized orally disintegrating tablet formulation exhibited a disintegration time of 2-3 min and complete drug release i.e. more than 85 % drug release within 10 min while performing in vitro drug release study. This is a prerequisite for faster action in the case of patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Accelerated stability studies indicated good physical and chemical stability of the optimized formulation.

Conclusion: Developed orally disintegrating tablet formulation of memantine hydrochloride could release the drug faster compared to conventional immediate-release tablets which is useful in paediatric, geriatric and psychiatric patients.
El desafío de la pluralidad teológica:
Authors: Romera Maldonado Sergio Ariel
Published: January 2020

Since the end of the 19th century, a theological turn characterized by a diversity of viewpoints and perspectives has timidly been taking shape. The II Vatican Council represented, in this way, an event that motivated and confirmed this theological diversity. However, such diversity didn’t prevent theologists from suffering from censures, warnings, and silence and refraining requests when teaching. Somehow, truth be told, this diversity didn’t sail in calmed and peaceful waters. There was some kind of tension between a growing diversity and a fearful resistance. This situation, partially overcome at present, is still eliciting some unanswered questions. How plausible is theological diversity? Is diversity of trends and perspectives a valid and fair challenge or a major problem? Does it enrich the constant challenge of the theological work that has to think and speak well of God, or rather creates a problem for the right transmission and intelligence of faith? In this study, after presenting some of the most emblematic theological trends of thought, we will try to respond these questions. The goal of this work is to respond such unanswered questions after presenting some of the most emblematic theological trends.
Aplicación de metodología CRISP-DM para segmentación geográfica de una base de datos pública
Authors: Espinosa Zúñiga Javier Jesús
Published: January 2020

El avance tecnológico ha permitido a las organizaciones en todos los niveles almacenar grandes volúmenes de datos. Sin embargo, un problema al cual se están enfrentando actualmente es el análisis de dichos datos a fin de extraer conocimiento útil para toma de decisiones en problemas reales.
Actualmente existen varias metodologías que facilitan el análisis de datos a fin de extraer información que se pueda convertir en conocimiento: una de ellas es la metodología CRISP-DM (acrónimo de Cross Industry Standard Process for Data Mining) que a pesar de ser la metodología más utilizada para proyectos de Minería de Datos y de tener más de veinte años desde su creación no es muy conocida en el ámbito laboral de muchas organizaciones de todo tipo en México.
El presente artículo tiene como objetivo ejemplificar la aplicación de la metodología CRISP-DM en la obtención de un modelo de segmentación básico sobre la base pública de unidades económicas (establecimientos y empresas) del Directorio Nacional de Unidades Económicas (DENUE). Para ello se aplicaron los seis pasos de la metodología (comprensión del problema, comprensión de datos, preparación de datos, modelado, evaluación del modelo e implementación del mismo) para obtener un modelo de segmentación que dividió las unidades económicas de México en dos grupos (el primer grupo conteniendo seis entidades y el segundo grupo conteniendo veintiséis entidades) con volumetrías de unidades económicas similares y con un patrón geográfico de interés.
Aunque se trata de un primer modelo sobre la base del DENUE que es susceptible de mejora, muestra el beneficio de aplicar la metodología CRISP-DM lo cual sin duda es de utilidad para las organizaciones que aplican actualmente dichos proyectos en México y también muestra la potencialidad de explotar una base pública con información valiosa como la base del DENUE en muchos sentidos (comercial, académico, etc.) mediante Minería de Datos.

Authors: Yusnilawati Ns , Mawarti Ns. Indah , Rudini Dini
Published: January 2020

Abstrak: Kematian akibat kanker payudara dapat mengalami penurunan dengan dilakukannya deteksi dini terutama pada usia remaja dengan melakukan pemeriksaan payudara sendiri. Tindakan ini sangat penting karena hampir 85% benjolan  di payudara ditemukan oleh penderita sendiri.  Pemeriksaan payudara sendiri (SADARI) dapat memperkecil angka kematian sampai 20%, namun jumlah perempuan yang melakukan SADARI masih sedikit yaitu 25-30%. Riset Penyakit Tidak Menular (PTM) tahun 2016 menyatakan perilaku masyarakat dalam deteksi dini kanker payudara masih rendah. Tercatat 53,7% masyarakat tidak pernah melakukan SADARI, sementara 46,3% pernah melakukan SADARI; dan 95,6% masyarakat tidak pernah melakukan SADANIS, sementara 4,4% pernah melakukan SADANIS. Hal ini dilatarbelakangi oleh banyak nya remaja Indonesia yang belum mengetahui dan menyadari pentingnya SADARI untuk deteksi dini kanker payudara.

Metode : Mengikuti sosialisasi mengenai pentingnya deteksi dini kanker payudara melalui pemeriksaan “SADARI”(periksa payudara sendiri).Mengumpulkan para santriwati yang menjadi peserta pendidikan kesehatan. Mempersiapkan sarana dan prasarana   kegiatan pendidikan kesehatan deteksi dini kanker payudara melalui pemeriksaan “SADARI”(periksa payudara sendiri), Mempersiapkan evaluasi dan monitoring secara bersama

Hasil : jumlah peserta di pondok pesantren Mambaul ulum lebih banyak dibandingkan Pesantren Al Maarif yaitu di pondok pesantren Mambaul Ulum  sebanyak 125 orang (80 %) dan responden di Pondok Pesantren Al Maarif sebanyak 25 orang (20 %).Pendidikan kesehatan tentang deteksi dini kanker payudara melalui SADARI ini disampaikan oleh pihak puskesmas talang bakung yang menjadi wilayah kerja bagi lingkungan Pondok Pesantren. Setelah diberikan penyuluhan kemudian setiap peserta diberikan leafleat selaku responden yang berisikan materi tentang SADARI.

Kesimpulan: Penyuluhan kesehatan adalah salah satu bentuk promosi kesehatan yang sederhana dan dapat mencakup sasaran yang luas. Dari hasil penyuluhan kesehatan tentang “Deteksi dini kanker payudara melalui SADARI (Periksa payudara sendiri) yang telah dilakukan, dapat diambil kesimpulan bahwa siswi – siswi Pondok pesantren Mambaul Ulum dan Al Maarif dapat mengetahui tentang pentingnya pemeriksaan SADARI untuk deteksi dini kelainan pada payudara dan mencegah terjadinya kanker payudara serta bagaimana melakukan SADARI itu sendiri.
Pola Pembinaan Terhadap Narapidana Seumur Hidup Dalam Kebijakan Implementasinya
Authors: Arfa Nys , Nur Syofyan , Monita Yulia
Published: January 2020

Pembinaan narapidana di Indonesia berdasarkan pada Undang-Undang Nomor 12 Tahun 1995 Tentang Pemasyarakatan. Pembinaan narapidanaa itu sendiri terdiri dari narapidana waktu tertentu tidak lebih dari 20 (dua puluh) tahun dan narapidana seumur hidup menjalani hukuman sampai meninggal dunia. Permasalahan yang muncul adalah terkait dengan pembinaan narapidana seumur hidup yang pembinaannya bersifat jangka panjang, karena tidak dapat diketahui pasti kapan seseorang meninggal. Sementara pembinaan narapidana berdasarkan paraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku adalah pola pembinaan secara umum untuk seluruh narapidana taanpa membedakan lama pidana dari narapidanaa itu sendiri. Berdasarkan hal tersebut maka permasalahan yang akan diteliti adalah bagaimana pola pembinaan narapidana seumur hidup tersebut dalam kebijakan implementasinya. Metode yang dipergunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian hukum normatif dimana dalam penelitian ini nanti akan dikaji mengenai kebijakan hukum pidana dalam pembinaan narapidana seumur hidup, pendekatan penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan undang-undang dan pendekatan konseptual, bahan hukum yang digunakan terdiri dari bahan hukum primer dan bahan hukum sekunder. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan, bahwa pola pembinaan narapidana seumur hidup didasarkan pada peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku yaitu pola pembinaan yang berlaku secara umum untuk seluruh narapidana tanpa membedakan lama pidana yang yang dijatuhkan terhadap narapidana. Terhadap narapidana yang dijatuhi pidana seumur hidup belum ada peraturan perundang-undangan yang mengatur secara khusus terkait dengan pembinaannya. Dengan kata lain pembinaan narapidana seumur hidup mengikuti pada paraturan perundang-undangan yang sudah ada. Sistem pemasyarakatan memberikan pembinaan sesuai tahapan baku. Kebijakan implementatif tetap menempatkan narapidana seumur hidup berada di dalam sistem pemasyarakatan, akan tetapi agak sulit menentukan tahapan-tahapan pembinaannya karena masa pidana dari narapidana seumur hidup tidak terbatas.

Published: January 2020

As dorsalgias, conhecidas comumente como dores nas costas, podem ser provocadas por uma série de motivos. Algumas profissões exigem dos trabalhadores posturas inadequadas, que sobrecarregam a coluna vertebral e consequentemente podem causar dores. Devido à postura adotada na moto, o motoboy pode apresentar comprometimentos da coluna vertebral. Neste projeto buscou-se realizar um diagnóstico sobre as queixas de dores nas costas de mototaxistas do município de Itapetinga – Ba e desenvolver uma atividade de extensão, utilizando cartazes e vídeos informativos/educativos e conversas informais, passando informações, buscando a prevenção com a adoção de hábitos adequados à rotina de trabalho destes profissionais. Quase a metade dos mototaxistas do município de Itapetinga – Ba relata sentir dores nas costas diariamente, principalmente na região lombar. Esse dado aumenta quando relacionado à jornada de trabalho excessiva, inatividade física e maus hábitos posturais. Esse tipo de problema pode ser evitado ou minimizado com mudanças de hábitos. As atividades de extensão surtem efeito positivo, nesta perspectiva preventiva, podendo trazer maior qualidade já que são bem aceitos pela população.

Penerapan Learning Vector Quantization Pada Pengelompokan Tingkat Kematangan Buah Tomat Berdasarkan Warna Buah
Authors: Sanjaya Suwanto
Published: January 2020

Tingkat kematangan buah tomat dapat dilihat dari warna buah. Pada penelitian sebelumnya pernah dilakukan penentuan tingkat kematangan buah tomat menggunakan fitur Hue, Saturation, dan Value (HSV), serta metode klasifikasi Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ). Pada penelitian tersebut menggunakan data citra buah tomat dari satu sisi. Pada kenyataanya, tidak semua buah tomat memiliki penyebaran warna yang sama disetiap sisinya. Oleh karena itu dibutuhkan teknik untuk merata-ratakan informasi warna dari beberapa sisi buah. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, maka data citra buah tomat yang digunakan diambil dari empat sisi untuk setiap buahnya. Total data citra yang digunakan adalah 400 citra dari empat sisi dan setelah dirata-ratakan menjadi 100 data. Level kematangan buah tomat yang digunakan adalah 5 level yaitu green, breakers, turning, pink, light red, dan red. Proses pelatihan dan pengujian bobot optimal menggunakan K-Fold Cross Validation. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian, rata-rata akurasi tertinggi adalah mencapai 87,25% yang diuji menggunakan 400 citra setiap sisi buah. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian tersebut dapat disimpulkan nilai HSV yang dihasilkan dari rata-rata penggabungan citra empat sisi dapat dijadikan alternatif untuk menentukan tingkat kematangan buah tomat karena dapat meningkatkan akurasi walaupun tidak terlalu signifikan

Published: January 2020

Introduction: Saliva plays a vital role in the caries process. The critical function of saliva is to defence against caries. A decrease in the saliva secretion speed can be followed by an increase in the number of bacterial colonies. This study was aimed to determine the comparison of salivary bacteria colonies number and salivary pH on early and non-early childhood caries in children who consumed infant formula using the nursing bottle. Methods: This research was pure experimental research with cross-sectional approach. Fifteen children with ECC and fifteen children with non-ECC aged 2-4 years on Early Childhood Education Programs (PAUD) of Padang, West Sumatera, were included in this study. Thirty subjects were participated in this study and asked to collect saliva into a sterile container provided. Statistical analysis used was independent sample t-test. Results: There was a significant difference in the salivary pH and the number of salivary bacterial colonies on early childhood caries and non-early childhood caries children after consuming infant formula with the nursing bottle (p < 0.05). The number of salivary bacteria colony on the infant with early childhood caries was higher with an average of 407.2 x 10-4/ml, whereas in infant non-early childhood caries was lower with an average of 125.5 x 10-4/ml. The salivary pH on infants with early childhood caries was acid with an average of 6.2, and in infants with non-early childhood caries was normal with an average of 6.9. Conclusion: There is a difference in the number of salivary bacterial colonies in infants with early childhood caries and non-early caries after consuming infant formula using the nursing bottle.Keywords: Early childhood caries, non-early childhood caries, salivary bacterial colonies, salivary pH

Temporal dynamics of emotions within a workday
Authors: Chang JaeYoon , Cook A. L , Payne S. C
Published: January 2020

The purpose of this study was to examine how positive and negative emotions fluctuate over time within one workday and to investigate the moderating effects of neuroticism and job satisfaction. Data were obtained from 201 Seoul citizens in Korea using the Day Reconstruction Method (Kahneman, Krueger, Schkade, Schwarz, & Stone, 2004). Data revealed that negative emotions increased over time; positive emotions did not show such a pattern. Job satisfaction correlated positively with average positive emotions and negatively with average negative emotions. Neuroticism correlated significantly and in opposite directions with average positive and negative emotions, but did not correlate significantly with the variability of emotions within a work day. Additionally, neuroticism had a significant moderating effect on the changing pattern of negative (but not positive) emotions over time, such that the negative emotions of workers with high levels of neuroticism increased more sharply than the negative emotions of workers with low levels of neuroticism. Contrary to expectation, job satisfaction did not moderate the pattern of positive or negative emotions at work. Changing patterns of negative emotions may be predictive of occupational accidents and diurnal patterns of positive emotions may be predictive of optimal concentration and efficiency at work. These patterns may also have implications for when we administer surveys in the workplace, when a boss should share bad news with his/her employees.

Published: January 2020

The previous justice literatures have studied that member's justice perception influenced member’s attitude and behavior. Since the study of Tepper & Taylor(2003), the recent literature emphasize the necessity of considering trickle-down effect that focus on justice perception flows from leader to member and eventuates influence employee attitude. Therefore, We hypothesized that member' interactional justice perception will be influenced by leader' interactional justice perception in organization. To test multilevel analysis, we collected the survey data from 240 leader and 5626 members and analyzed Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling using Mplus 5. In result, We found that member’ interactional justice increases affective organizational commitment and mediate the relationship between leader' interactional justice and affective organizational commitment.
The effect of job overload on job burnout
Authors: Kim HyungJu , Yoo TaeYong
Published: January 2020

The first purpose of this study was to examine the effect of job overload on job burnout through a mediating variable of positive psychological capital. And the second purpose was to examine the moderating effect of social support as an environmental variable and personality(emotional stability and extraversion) as a personal variable on the relationship between job overload and positive psychological capital. Data were gathered from 312 employees who were working in various organizations in Korea. As results, job overload had negative relationship with positive psychological capital and positive relationship with job burnout. Positive psychological capital had mediation effect on the relationship between job overload and job burnout. And social support had moderating effect on the relationship job overload and positive psychological capital because the relationship was less negative when social support was high than low. Also the extraversion had moderating effect on the relationship job overload and positive psychological capital because the relationship was less negative when extraversion was high than low. Finally the implications for research and practice, limitations, and future research tasks were discussed.

Published: January 2020

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the impact of participating in the annual Animal Welfare Assessment Contest (AWJAC) on veterinary students' self-perceived knowledge of and attitudes toward animal welfare science and on participants' career choices.

SAMPLE

46 veterinary students who participated in the AWJAC from 2014 through 2017.

PROCEDURES

The study consisted of 2 parts. In part 1, a survey regarding participation in the AWJAC was emailed to all 138 veterinary students who participated in the contest from 2014 through 2017. In part 2, a self-selected subset of 4 survey respondents were interviewed by telephone regarding their AWJAC experience.

RESULTS

Forty-six of 138 (33%) AWJAC participants responded to the online survey. When respondents were asked to rate the attitudes they held before and after participating in the AWJAC, significant increases were identified for engaging with animal welfare topics in their professional decision-making, making career choices based on their interest in animal welfare, and having their interest in animal welfare shape their professional career choices. Analysis of telephone interview transcripts revealed 3 major themes regarding AWJAC participation: defining animal welfare, the value of networking, and professional preparedness.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results suggested that participation in the AWJAC heightened veterinary students' self-perceived awareness of animal welfare science, provided participants an opportunity to expand their professional networks, and prepared participants for entrance into the veterinary profession by enhancing communication and critical thinking skills.

Authors: Sitinjak Imelda
Published: January 2020

One important element in the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) 2025 blueprint is the strengthening of Small, Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The third largest city in Indonesia, Medan City, has a start-up Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) which ranks third in Sumatra itself. The problem is that not all MSMEs in Indonesia can survive or experience growth. So this study aims to determine the effect of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial competence on entrepreneurial entry decisions and the success of start-up MSMEs in Medan City. The method of determining is the sample using a purposive sampling method, from 100 MSMEs owners. The findings of this study are that entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) has a significant effect on entrepreneurial entry decisions, while entrepreneurial competence is not significant. However, the success of MSME start-ups in Medan is significantly influenced by entrepreneurial competence while ESE is not. The implication of this study is that strong confidence is needed when starting a business, and requires competence to gain business success.

Despite the widespread applications of C–H functionalization, controlling site selectivity remains a significant challenge. Covalently attached directing group (DG) served as an ancillary ligand to ensure proximal ortho-, distal meta- and para-C-H functionalization over the last two decades. These covalently linked DGs necessitate two extra steps for a single C–H functionalization: introduction of DG prior to C–H activation and removal of DG post-functionalization. We introduce here a transient directing group for distal C(sp2)-H functionalization via reversible imine formation. By overruling facile proximal C-H bond activation by imine-N atom, a suitably designed pyrimidine-based transient directing group (TDG) successfully delivered selective distal C-C bond formation. Application of this transient directing group strategy for streamlining the synthesis of complex organic molecules without any necessary pre-functionalization at the distal position has been explored.

Herein, we introduce an electrochemical based approach for surface-anchoring of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) monolayers. The deposition process is based on in-situ formation of hydroxide ions by water reduction under negative potential. The hydroxide ions function as a base for deprotonation of the imidazole cations for the formation of active carbenes that self-assemble on the electrode's surface. Therefore, the electrochemical deposition does not require dry conditions or the addition of external base for carbene activation. The high temporal and spatial proximity between the NHC's activation and surface anchoring enabled the formation of well-ordered monolayers of NHCs on Au surfaces with higher density and stability than those achieved using liquid-phase deposition.

The terrific increase by the word "modernization" in various fields in the world without boundaries affects the total environmental system, which leads to the emergence of various new diseases in various forms. In that case, cancer is considered as one of such a dreadful disease which is also measured as a leading cause for the death of the people. Even with the advanced treatment of modern medicine in treating cancer and reduce the rate of cancer recurrence using advanced technologies such as immunotherapy, targeted therapy, robotic radiosurgery are still very subjective to the individual, and it causes tremendous side effects to the patient. Alternative medicine plays a vital role in the treatment and management of diseases event before centuries. Many pharmaceutical companies involved in the research development of anticancer properties as a holistic approach in the treatment and management of cancer. Moringa oleifera, traditionally used as food sources, has attracted many researches to evaluate the biochemical properties of medicinal and antioxidant as an antiulcer, antimicrobial, antitumour and anticancer. Each part of the tree is nutritive and personalized selective on phytochemicals as an anticancer drug are essential in treating the cancer cells. Limited knowledge on the cytotoxic activity and therapeutic index of M. oleifera in treating specific types of cancers are still under study by many researchers. However, the molecular analysis of anticancer properties in Moringa oleifera as sustainable preventive and management of cancer therapy still lacking in Malaysia

Drug-induced kidney disorder/disease (DKID) is an origin of kidney disease followed by acute renal failure. Drug-induced renal toxicity is more common in infants and young children in certain clinical circumstances where underlying renal dysfunction and cardiovascular diseases. Sometimes, administered drugs may cause acute renal injury, intra-renal obstruction, interstitial nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and acid-base and fluid electrolytes disorders in patients. Certain drugs may cause alterations in intra-glomerular hemodynamics, inflammatory changes in renal tubular cells, leading to acute kidney injury (AKI), interstitial tubule disease, and renal scarring. Common risk factors include; pre-existing renal dysfunction, volume-depleted state, old age, and use of nephrotoxic drugs. Therefore, the prevention from the disease includes the knowledge about the nephrotoxicity, assessing considering the patient-related, kidney-related, and drug-related factors while prescribing medicines, using of alternative drugs, which are non-nephrotoxic, assessing the baseline of renal function before starting the treatment, monitor the renal function during the treatment and avoid the nephrotoxic drug combinations and withdrawing the offending drugs due to toxicity. The ADRs of the prescribed/ administered are identified at the earliest to prevent the development of the last-stage renal disorder. This review discusses the risk factors associated with drug-induced renal disease, estimation of renal function, mechanism of drug-induced nephrotoxicity, and certain drugs that cause nephrotoxicity.

The purpose of this study was to identify the form of feedback on the learning outcomes on 8th graders junior high school conducted by the teacher. The study was conducted in the city of Yogyakarta, Makassar, Bandung and Badung during July-August 2019. Respondents were 8th grade junior high school teachers, who teach Science and English subjects. School samples were purposely taken from students who achieve high scores in the UN. Respondents were observed during the learning process followed by interviews and discussion with other teacher. The results of the study show that the implementation of teacher feedback on student learning outcomes has not yet optimal. This is indicated by the teacher's comments on student learning outcomes only correcting mistakes, and giving the correct answers. Almost all teachers have not provide depth explanation nor additional concepts towards the mistakes in order to strengthen students’ understanding. According to respondents, there are contributing factors in giving feedbacks on the learning outcomes. These are: (1) teachers’ knowledge on the meaning and function of feedback on student learning outcomes; (2) there is no guidance from the government regarding the importance of teacher feedback, and (3) there is no training from the government about feedback. To foster teachers’ feedback on student learning outcomes requires government efforts with clear guidelines about the necessity to emphasize feedback on student learning outcomes.
