    Background: Postpartum blues in Indonesia has a high prevalence at 37% to 67%. Postpartum blues syndrome has been described as varying changes in the affective domain, such as feelings, behavior, or thoughts, that can be influenced by the roles and tasks of women, along with their social, cultural, and economic support. Instruments that measure maternal blues through bonding attachment behavior have never before been developed in Indonesia.

    Objective: This study aimed to develop a maternal blues scale through bonding attachments to predict postpartum blues.

    Method: The research design consisted of three stages: 1) phenomenology design and focus group discussion; 2) development and construction of the maternal blues scale, and 3) a cross-sectional study to measure validation of the scales. Respondents were postpartum mothers in the first week after birth. The sample comprised 501 participants. Sampling was done by consecutive sampling at the Public Health Center (PUSKESMAS) in the South Jakarta area. Data analysis used exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), correlation, and a diagnostic testing .

    Results: Item analysis produced 32 items consisting of 24 items regarding the mother's role and duties as internal factors and eight factors involving social, cultural, and economic support as external factors. Both factors were valid and reliable in predicting postpartum blues with indicators (t loading factors ≥ 1.96, standardized loading factor (SLF) ≥.50, internal factors: construct reliability (CR) ≥ .70 and extraction variants (VE) ≥ .50 and external factors: CR ≥ .74 to .83 VE ≥ .50 to .63). The relationship with Kennerley's maternity blues as a gold standard was significant. Internal factors had a score of 53, with a sensitivity of 60.2%. The external factors score was 19, with a sensitivity of 77.3%.

    Conclusion: The new scale for postpartum blues prediction developed displayed internal consistency and validity of each indicator (internal and external factors) that was good (CR ≥ .70; VE ≥ .50). This scale provides a feasible tool to predict postpartum blues.

    Introduction: In several studies it was described that ineffective communication during patient handover between the hospital departments or during shift-to-shift transfer result in discontinuity of care, inappropriate treatment, and potential risks of injury for patients. The patient handover is a professional responsibility and accountability related to nursing care. SBAR (Situation - Background - Assessment – Recommendation) method as part of the international pa- tient safety goals(IPSGs) was developed to improve communication breakdown. Knowledge and attitude are essential factors associated with the implementation of patient handover, yet limited research was done on this. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between nurse knowledge and attitude toward a patient handover. Meth- ods: A cross-sectional approach was applied in this study. A total of 61 nurses consisting of the head nurse, and team leaders participated in sampling technique done by simple random sampling method from the hospital database. Data collection used a structured questionnaire with a good result of validity and reliability. Univariate and bivariate test were used for data analyzing with Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) Version 18. Results: There is a relationship between nurses' knowledge and attitude toward patient handover with OR 5.280 (1.063-26.227); OR 5.333 (1.351-21.062), respectively and statistically significant (p

    The inhibitory effect of Cassia spectabilis methanol leaf extract was evaluated against biofilm forming Candida albicans, which was sensitive to 6.25 mg/ml concentration of the extract. Transmission (TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations were used to study the anticandidal activity and prevention of biofilm formation by the C. spectabilis extract. SEM analysis further revealed reduction in C. albicans biofilm in response to the extract. The main abnormalities noted via TEM study was the alterations in morphology and complete collapse of the yeast cells after 36 h of exposure to the extract. The significant antifungal activity shown by this methanol extract of C. spectabilis suggests its potential against infections caused by C. albicans.

    The fungicidal activity of Cassia spectabilis leaf extracts was investigated using the disk diffusion technique and the broth dilution method. The extract showed a favorable antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans with a minimum inhibition concentration(MIC) value of 6.25 mg / ml. Apart from the fungicidal effects, imaging using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was done to determine the major alterations in the microstructure of the C. albicans. The main abnormalities noted in the SEM studies were the alterations in morphology and complete collapse of the yeast cells after 36 h of exposure to the extract. The in vitro time-kill study performed using the leaf extract at 1/2, 1 or 2 times of the MIC significantly inhibited the yeast growth with a noticeable drop in optical density (OD) of yeast culture, thus confirming the fungicidal effect of the extract on C. albicans. In addition, in vivo antifungal activity studies on candidiasis in mice showed a 5-fold decrease in Candida in kidneys and blood samples in the groups of animals treated with the extract (2.5 g / kg body weight). In an acute toxicity study using mice, the acute minimum fatal dose of the extract was greater than 2000 mg / kg, and we found no histopathological changes in macroscopic examination by necropsy of mice treated with extract. We conclude that the extract may be safely used as an anticandidal agent.

    Gestational trophoblastic disease is a spectrum of pregnancy disorder arising from the placental trophoblastic tissues. It characterised by the secretion of a distinct tumour marker, the beta-HCG. This condition is highly curable even in the presence of metastasis. The incidence of this disease is higher in the Asian population. The major well-established risk factors for gestational trophoblastic disease are advanced maternal age and a past history of gestational trophoblastic disease. Common clinical presentations include vaginal bleeding in early trimester, uterus larger than gestational age, absence of fetal parts after 20 weeks of gestation. Ultrasonography is a reliable non-invasive tool for diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic disease in the clinical setting. All placental tissue following miscarriage or curettage should have histopathological evaluation to exclude gestational trophoblastic disease. Since this group of disorders is one of the highly curable neoplasms, early diagnosis and prompt treatment is necessary.

    BACKGROUND: Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) is considered one of the most scientifically rigorous tools available with excellent psychometric properties. However, it is not yet available in an Indonesian version.

    OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the validity of the content and psychometric properties of HSOPSC 2.0 for use in Indonesian hospitals.

    METHODS: The study was divided into three stages: translation, adaptation, and validation. Culture-adaptation was assessed using cognitive interviews with ten direct care nurses who worked in the hospital to evaluate their perceptions and the coherence of the translated items, response categories, and questionnaire directions. Content validity was also done by ten experts from academic and clinical settings. Finally, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and reliability testing were conducted among 220 nurses from two Indonesian hospitals.

    RESULTS: The cognitive test results indicated that the language clarity was 87.8 % and 84.5% for cultural relevance. The Content Validity Index (CVI) ranged between 0.73 to 1.00, while the construct validity results indicated that each factor had factor loadings above 0.4, from 0.47 to 0.65. The fit indices showed an acceptable fit for the data provided by the 10-factor model, with RMSEA = 0.052, SRMR = 0.089, and CFI = 0.87. The Pearson correlation coefficients between the ten subscales ranged from 0.276 to 0.579 (p < 0.05). The Cronbach's alpha for all sub-scales was more than 0.70, except for organizational learning - continuous improvement, response to error, and communication openness.

    CONCLUSION: This study offers initial evidence of the psychometric properties of the Indonesian-HSOPSC 2.0. Future studies are needed to examine its psychometric features to improve generalizability. However, nurses and other healthcare professionals could use the tool to measure hospital patient safety culture in Indonesia.

    In this work, an electrochemical method for detection of trace amount of aluminium (Al3+), a heavy metal ion, based on a bare gold electrode (AuE) was developed. Current responses of the AuE under various type of electrolytes, redox indicators, pH, scan rate and accumulation time were investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) method to obtain the optimum conditions for Al3+ detection. The sensing properties of the AuE towards the target ion with different concentrations were investigated using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) method. From the CV results, the optimal conditions for the detection of Al3+ were Tris-HCl buffer (0.1 M, pH 2) supported by 5 mM Prussian blue with scan rate and accumulation time respectively of 100 mVs−1 and 15 s. Under the optimum conditions, the DPV method was detected with different concentrations of aluminium ion ranging from 0.2 to 1.0 ppm resulted in a good linear regression r² = 0.9806. This result suggests that the optimisation of the basic parameters in electrochemical detection using AuE is crucial before further modification of the Au-electrode to improve the sensitivity and selectivity especially for the low concentration of ion detection. The developed method has a great potential for rapid detection of heavy metal ion (Al3+) in drinking water samples.

    In this paper, we demonstrate a modified scheme for solving the nonlinear KleinGordon
    equation of PDE hyperbolic types. The Klein-Gordon equation is a relativistic
    wave equation version of the Schrodinger equation, which is widely used in quantum
    mechanics. Additionally, the nonstandard finite difference scheme has been used
    extensively to solve differential equations and we have constructed a modified scheme
    based on the nonstandard finite difference scheme associated with harmonic mean
    averaging for solving the nonlinear inhomogeneous Klein-Gordon equation where the
    denominator is replaced by an unusual function. The numerical results obtained have
    been compared and showed to have a good agreement with results attained using the
    standard finite difference (CTCS) procedure, which provided that the proposed scheme
    is reliable. Numerical experiments are tested to validate the accuracy level of the
    scheme with the analytical results.

    Imports are the only source of food supply to Singapore. Such condition offers a very attractive proposition for agricultural oriented countries. The dependence on type of food imports is determined by consumer demand. This study intends to do an exploratory study on the current conditions of Singaporean food consumption and expenditures with implications on Malaysia as an important agricultural exporting country to Singapore. It is identified that Singaporean consumers tend to demand for high quality poultry, pork, seafood, vegetables, and fruits in future, particularly in response to income growth. At the mean time, Malaysia is seemingly rich in the production of these food commodities and commits to exports for the excess of the supplies. While facing competition from various countries, Malaysia still possesses various competitive advantages over the other countries.

    This prospective randomized single-blinded study was conducted to determine whether there were differences in consumption, demand dosing and postoperative analgesia quality between PCEA using ropivacaine and levobupivacaine. Seventy patients with ASA classification I and II aged 18 to 80 years old scheduled for elective total knee replacement or total hip replacement were studied. All patients received CSE and then were randomly allocated to receive either ropivacaine 0.165% (Group A) or levobupivacaine 0.125% (Group B) both added with fentanyl 2.0 mcro g/ml via epidural route. PCEA regime was offered for 48 hours with additional standard orthopaedic practice of oral analgesia (etoricoxib 120 mg OD and paracetamol 1.0 gm QID) on the second postoperative day. Basal infusion of PCEA was at 3.0 ml/hour and discontinued after 24 hours following started of PCEA. The consumption of local anaesthetics used within the first 24 hours (basal + demand) and 48 hours (total basal + total demand) were recorded. The VAS pain score, sedation score, side effects and vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate) were also recorded every four hours for 48 hours. This study showed that the total volume of drug used was significantly higher in Group A (163.31+/- 29.01 ml) than Group B (142.69 +/- 30.93ml) (p<0. 01). The mean dose of Group A for the first 48 hours after surgery was 251.43 +/- 70.02mg and was significantly greater than the mean dose of Group B (178.91 +/-42.33 mg) (p<0.01). The numbers of PCEA boluses delivered (D) and PCEA attempts (A) were higher in the Group A (22.37 +/-7.32 and 27.66 +/- 9.12) in contrast to Group B (17.63 +/- 7.71 and 24.40 +/- 11.51) but the differences were not statistically significant. The ratio D/A showed significantly higher in Group A (0.83 +/- 0.13) than Group B (0.74 +/- 0.15) (p<0. 02). The VAS pain score was similar for both groups. One patient in Group B had vomiting and there was no sedation, hypotension, pruritus or motor block recorded in both groups. In conclusion this study showed that both PCEA using ropivacaine 0.165% with fentanyl 2.0 micro g/ml and levobupivacaine 0.125% with fentanyl 2.0 micro g/ml provided effective postoperative analgesia within the first 48 hours of major lower limb orthopaedic surgery despite clinically significant dose difference. There was no hypotension, pruritus, sedation or motor block recorded in both groups.

    Consecutive chloroform, ethanol, and ethyl acetate partitions of extracts from winged bean [Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC] root, stem, leaf, and pod extracts were tested for their antimicrobial activity against 19 microbial species, including 11 bacterial pathogens, four yeasts, and four molds using the disk diffusion assay technique. The pod extract was found to be most effective against all of the tested organisms, followed by the stem, root, and leaf extracts, and the ethanol fraction showed the most significant (p < 0.05) antimicrobial activity against all of the tests among three soluble fractions of extract, followed by the ethyl acetate and chloroform fractions. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of extracts determined by the broth dilution method ranged from 1.25 to 10.0 mg/mL. The MIC of ethanol fraction of pod extracts was the lowest by comparison with the other two extracts. The MIC for fungi was at or below 2.5 mg/mL and for bacteria was at or above 2.5 mg/mL.

    The use of bioplastics is a new strategy for reducing microplastic (MP) waste caused by petroleum-based plastics. This problem has received increased attention worldwide, leading to the development of large-scale bioplastic plants. The large amount of MPs in aquatic and terrestrial environments and the atmosphere has raised global concern. This article delves into the profound environmental impact of the increasing use of petroleum-based plastics, which contribute significantly to plastic waste and, as a consequence, to the increase in MPs. We conducted a comprehensive analysis to identify countries that are at the forefront of efforts to produce bioplastics to reduce MP pollution. In this article, we explain the development, degradation processes, and research trends of bioplastics derived from biological materials such as starch, chitin, chitosan, and polylactic acid (PLA). The findings pinpoint the top 10 countries demonstrating a strong commitment to reducing MP pollution through bioplastics. These nations included the United States, China, Spain, Canada, Italy, India, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Belgium, and the Netherlands. This study underscores the technical and economic obstacles to large-scale bioplastic production. Integr Environ Assess Manag 2024;00:1-20. © 2024 SETAC.

    Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a widespread allergic condition, with its prevalence continuing to rise globally. This disease has a significant impact on patients' quality of life. Understanding the underlying pathophysiology is important to develop better-targeted therapies. For decades, the primary assumption has been that an allergy is caused by unbalanced and overactive immunological responses against allergens, driven mainly by activated T helper 2 (Th2) cells and due to aberrant T-regulatory cells. The more recent hypothesis that is gaining attention relies on the dysregulation of the epithelial barrier, which might result in allergen uptake as a primary defect in the pathogenesis of allergic reactions. The nasal epithelial barrier is considered a crucial first line of defense in the upper airway, as it protects the host's immune system from exposure to allergens. Thus, this review will discuss AR's epidemiology, predisposing factors, clinical manifestations, laboratory characteristics, and pathogenic mechanisms.

    The present work investigated the antioxidant properties and antihypertensive activity of
    magnesium orotate (MgOr) using various established in vitro assays, such as β-carotene
    bleaching activity, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and nitric oxide scavenging activity as well as angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity. Magnesium orotate
    nanoparticles (MgOrGANPs) were prepared using the gum arabic (GA) as stabiliser coatings
    for nanoparticles through freeze-drying method. The in vitro cytoxicity of MgOrGANPs
    against human breast cancer MCF7, liver cancer HepG2, and colon cancer HT29 was investigated. The nitric oxide (NO) and DPPH scavenging assays of MgOrGANPs showed a
    dose-dependent trend, while 500 and 200 µL/mL were significantly more effective than the
    other concentrations with an IC50 of 89.56 µg/mL and 63.22% DPPH scavenging capacity
    respectively. The exposure of human cancer cells to MgOrGANPs at 1.56 – 1,000 µg/mL
    using 3-)4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl(2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) inhibited the
    growth of cell lines examined in a dose-dependent manner. Hence, MgOrGANPs may have
    great potential to be applied for cancer treatments.

    In competitive markets, agribusiness firms have embarked on improving their service quality for building and maintaining a profitable relationship with their customers. However, such impact of service quality on business commitment has not been empirically investigated. To fill this gap, this study explores the relationship between service quality and commitment, using a case of supplier selection of fresh produce by hotel, restaurant, and catering (HORECA) sector in Malaysia. Using SERVQUAL as the main component of the conceptual framework, the relevant information was collected from 195 random HORECA operators and analyzed using partial least squares. The results indicate that service quality explains little of HORECA’s decision to stay with their current suppliers. While most service quality factors were insignificant, “responsiveness” in term of providing delivery service had a statistically significant positive impact on HORECA’s contractual arrangement with their current suppliers. These findings imply that quality service is being seen as a supplement; economic factors (e.g., prices and their stability, credit term) are likely to be the key drivers affecting buyer-seller relationships. If suppliers want to stay on course, they have to improve their service quality and focus more on delivery service. In addition, more research is needed in this relatively new area.

    Bullying is a global problem in adolescents which has increased every year. One of the factors in the occurrence of bullying is the ability of interpersonal skills. This ability can build good relationships with assertive between adolescents and can prevent bullying. The purpose of this study is to describe assertiveness therapy for reducing bullying behavior and its impacts among adolescents. The method used in this study is scoping review. The search strategy used is PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews through three databases namely PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus. The authors used inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria in the selection of articles. The major keywords used in the article search were bullying, assertiveness therapy, and adolescents. Data analysis used descriptive qualitative. The results showed that there were 10 articles that discussed assertive therapy. All articles show that assertiveness therapy can reduce bullying behavior and its impact significantly, such as reducing the impact of anxiety and increasing self-esteem. Assertiveness therapy methods carried out in the form of education, games, and role play. Education is carried out online and offline. Educational media is provided directly and through media such as educational videos which can be accessed at any time. Gender and cultural approaches are important aspects in the implementation of assertive therapy. Assertive therapy can improve interpersonal skills, social skills, empathy and assertiveness so that it can reduce bullying behavior and its impacts in adolescents. Then, this data becomes the basis for nurses to carry out assertive therapy as an effort to prevent and reduce bullying behavior in adolescents.
