Environmental Literacy, Green Culture, Environmental Awareness and Pro-Environmental Awareness: Evidence from Higher Education Industries

Abstract Aim: This study aims to examine how environmental literacy, green culture, and environmental awareness relate to pro-environmental awareness among university students in Indonesia. Method: A quantitative approach was applied using a structured questionnaire distributed randomly to 124 accounting students at a university in East Java. The questionnaire covered environmental literacy, green culture, environmental awareness, and pro-environmental awareness indicators. The data were analysed using Partial Least Squares (PLS) to test both measurement and structural models. Findings: The results show that green culture is the only variable that significantly influences pro-environmental behaviour, while environmental literacy and awareness do not show direct effects. Implications: The findings imply that strengthening campus culture is more effective than relying solely on environmental knowledge or awareness campaigns. Universities should focus on creating an institutional atmosphere that models sustainable values through visible practices, leadership commitment, and collective participation. Environmental literacy and awareness remain important, yet they must be integrated into daily routines and social norms to drive real behavioural change. In short, sustainability education should move beyond theory and be embedded into the culture of the institution to encourage lasting pro-environmental behaviour among students. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in its clear evidence that pro-environmental behaviour among university students depends more on the shared cultural environment than on individual knowledge or awareness. While many earlier studies highlighted literacy and awareness as key drivers, this study shows that cultural influence through norms, values, and institutional engagement plays a stronger role in shaping actual behaviour. So, the study adds a fresh perspective to sustainability research and challenges the assumption that knowledge alone can lead to behavioural change

Kemampuan Mahasiswa S1 Farmasi dalam Merespon Kasus Swamedikasi Diare Akut pada Anak: Studi Simulasi Pasien

Mahasiswa farmasi sebagai calon apoteker perlu punya kemampuan untuk dapat merespon kasus swamedikasi dengan tepat, termasuk kasus swamedikasi diare anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan mahasiswa S1 Farmasi dalam merespon kasus swamedikasi diare akut anak (balita) tanpa alarm symptoms dan kasus diare akut anak (bayi) dengan dehidrasi. Penelitian dilakukan di salah satu fakultas farmasi swasta di Indonesia dengan melibatkan 136 mahasiswa S1. Metode simulasi pasien digunakan untuk pengambilan data terkait tipe informasi yang digali, tipe rekomendasi yang diberikan, dan ketepatan rekomendasi. Ketepatan rekomendasi dinilai berdasarkan bukti pada literatur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada kedua kasus diare diatas, partisipan belum dapat menggali informasi secara komprehensif. Ketepatan rekomendasi yang diberikan juga sangat rendah, dimana hanya 21% partisipan memberikan rekomendasi dengan tepat pada kasus diare pada anak (balita) (pemberian produk oralit dan zink) dan hanya 11% partisipan merujuk ke dokter pada kasus diare akut pada anak (bayi). Perlu adanya peningkatan kemampuan mahasiswa farmasi dalam merespon kasus swamedikasi diare anak. Penelitian lanjutan terkait faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kemampuan mahasiswa farmasi dalam merespon kasus-kasus swamedikasi diperlukan untuk mende- sain intervensi yang dapat meningkatkan kemampuan mahasiswa.   As future pharmacists, pharmacy students must be able to respond appropriately to self-medication cases, including childhood diarrhea. This study aims to describe pharmacy students' ability to respond to a case of acute childhood diarrhea (below 5 years) without alarm symptoms and a case of acute childhood diarrhea (a baby) with dehydration. The patient simulation method was used for data collection, and 136 undergraduate pharmacy students participated. The types of information gathered, the types of recommendations provided, and the appropriateness of the recommendations were the parameters observed. The appropriateness of the recommendations provided by participants was assessed according to the literature. The results showed that in both cases, information gathering was not comprehensive. The appropriateness of the recommendations provided was low, with only 21% of the 136 participants providing appropriate recommendations for a case of diarrhea in a child below 5 years (i.e., recommending oral rehydration salt and zinc) and only 11% of 136 participants recommending medical referral for a case of acute childhood diarrhea in a baby. There is a need to improve the ability of pharmacy students to respond to childhood diarrhea cases. Further research on factors influencing pharmacy students' abilities in responding to self-medication cases is needed so that intervention strategies to improve students’ knowledge and skills can be designed

ANALISIS PENGAMBILALIHAN TANAH MILIK PRIBADI YANG BERSTATUS CAGAR BUDAYA OLEH PEMERINTAH KOTA PADANG

Abstract—Cultural heritage is a country's historical heritage which is fragile and rare so its existence must be preserved because it has important value for history, science, religion and education. One example of cultural heritage in Indonesia is a cultural heritage building. Cultural heritage buildings have their own characteristics, one of which is that they are more than 50 years old and have historical value as stated in Law Number 11 of 2010 concerning Cultural Heritage. Law Number 11 of 2010 is legal protection for cultural heritage in Indonesia. One of the cultural heritage buildings in Padang City is the Ema Idham House. However, currently the cultural heritage building Ema Idham House has collapsed and been razed to the ground because Soehinto Sadikin, as the owner of the house, has carried out the demolition without permission from the Padang City government. The Padang City Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUPR) Department only provided City Plan Information to Soehinto Sadikin, so he had no right to demolish the cultural heritage building. Therefore, so that the cultural heritage building is not lost, the Padang City Government must carry out reconstruction of the building. Ownership rights to the land owned by Soehinto Sadikin must first be transferred to the Padang City Government through land procurement for development in the public interest. This thesis aims to analyze whether the Padang City government has the authority to request the takeover of privately owned land that has cultural heritage status. Keywords: building reserve culture, padang  city government, land acquisition   Abstrak—Cagar budaya merupakan warisan bersejarah suatu negara yang bersifat rapuh dan langka sehingga wajib dilestarikan keberadaannya karena memiliki nilai penting bagi sejarah, ilmu pengetahuan, agama, dan pendidikan. Salah satu contoh cagar budaya yang ada di Indonesia yakni bangunan cagar budaya. Bangunan cagar budaya memiliki ciri khas tersendiri salah satunya yaitu memiliki umur lebih dari 50 tahun dan memiliki nilai sejarah sebagaimana termaktub dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2010 tentang Cagar Budaya. Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2010 merupakan perlindungan hukum bagi cagar budaya yang ada di Indonesia. Salah satu bangunan cagar budaya yang ada di kota Padang adalah Rumah Ema Idham. Namun, saat ini bangunan cagar budaya Rumah Ema Idham tersebut telah runtuh dan rata dengan tanah dikarenakan Soehinto Sadikin sebagai pemilik bangunan rumah telah melakukan pembongkaran tanpa izin dari Pemerintah Kota Padang. Dinas Pekerjaan Umum dan Penataan Ruang (PUPR) Kota Padang hanya memberikan Keterangan Rencana Kota kepada Soehinto Sadikin, sehingga ia tidak berhak untuk melakukan pembongkaran terhadap bangunan cagar budaya tersebut. Oleh sebab itu, agar bangunan cagar budaya tersebut tidak hilang Pemerintah Kota Padang harus melakukan rekonstruksi terhadap bangunan tersebut. Hak milik atas tanah yang dimiliki oleh Soehinto Sadikin harus dialihkan terlebih dahulu kepada Pemerintah Kota Padang melalui pengadaan tanah bagi pembangunan untuk kepentingan umum. Skripsi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa apakah Pemerintah Kota Padang berwenang meminta pengambilalihan tanah milik pribadi yang berstatus cagar budaya. Kata kunci: bangunan cagar budaya, pemerintah kota padang, pengadaan tana

Dua Dekade Setelah Peristiwa Traumatis: Prevalensi Kesehatan Mental Penyintas Tsunami Aceh

The long-term psychological impact of a traumatic natural disaster, such as the 2004 Aceh Tsunami, is still poorly documented in the scientific literature. The purpose of this study was to describe the mental health status of survivors of the 2004 Aceh Tsunami 20 years after the Aceh Tsunami, utilizing a descriptive quantitative research design. The study participants were 197 tsunami survivors selected by purposive sampling, with specific criteria: (1) being victims directly exposed to the 2004 Aceh Tsunami; and (2) being members of the Aceh community. The Mental Health Inventory-18 (MHI-18; α = .93) was utilized as the data collection instrument for mental health in this study. The results of the data analysis showed that the majority of survivors (78.17%) had low mental health or psychological well-being, reflecting ongoing psychological disorders even though 20 years had passed since the disaster. The findings of this study indicate that the psychological impact of the Aceh Tsunami continues in the long term, significantly affecting psychological well-being. The results of this study emphasize the need for special attention to the mental health of disaster survivors, as well as the importance of long-term support programs to mitigate the long-term psychological impacts post-disasters.Dampak psikologis jangka panjang dari bencana alam yang traumatis, seperti Tsunami Aceh 2004, masih belum banyak didokumentasikan dalam literatur ilmiah.

Curcuminoid Compounds Inhibit Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor: In Silico Study for Their Association to Anti-diabetic Potency

Abstract—Diabetes mellitus is a health problem characterized by chronic inflammation causing complications in the cardiovascular, kidneys, eyes, and nervous system, with macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) protein playing a crucial function in the inflammatory process chain. MIF has been known as a signaling protein involved in the development of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). There are several studies indicating that the development of type 1 and type 2 DM is influenced by the accumulation of macrophages in tissues susceptible to diabetic injury or infection. Curcuminoids, the bioactive components in turmeric, are known for their ability to decrease inflammation. This in silico study is intended to analyze the potential anti-inflammatory effect of curcuminoid in DM, with a specific focus on how it may reduce proinflammatory signals through MIF. The investigation involved predicting physicochemical, pharmacokinetic and toxicity (ADMET) qualities for curcuminoids, followed by molecular docking simulations with MIF as the target protein. The ADMET results showed curcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin had favorable properties, while dimethoxycurcumin exhibited undesirable traits like low VDss. Therefore, molecular docking simulations were performed using curcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin as ligands. The molecular docking simulations indicated that curcumin has a negative binding affinity slightly lower than (S, R)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-5-isoxazole acetic acid methyl ester (ISO-1), a reference MIF inhibitor; and bisdemethoxycurcumin binds to MIF even stronger than ISO-1, with interacting MIF amino acids Lys 32, Ile 64 Asn 97, Pro 1, and Tyr 95. Hence, the curcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin compounds were found as having the potential to inhibit MIF activity that is associated with the progression of DM.  Keywords: curcuminoids, diabetes melitus (dm), inflammation, mif inhibitors, molecular docking   Abstrak—Diabetes mellitus (DM) merupakan masalah kesehatan yang ditandai dengan peradangan kronis, yang dapat menyebabkan komplikasi pada sistem kardiovaskular, ginjal, mata, dan sistem saraf. Protein macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) memiliki peran penting dalam proses peradangan. MIF diketahui sebagai protein pensinyalan yang terlibat dalam perkembangan DM tipe 1 dan tipe 2. Beberapa penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perkembangan DM tipe 1 dan tipe 2 dipengaruhi oleh akumulasi makrofag pada jaringan yang rentan terhadap cedera atau infeksi akibat diabetes. Kurkuminoid, komponen bioaktif dalam kunyit, dikenal memiliki kemampuan untuk meringankan peradangan. Studi in silico ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis potensi efek antiinflamasi kurkuminoid terhadap DM, dengan fokus pada kemampuannya dalam menurunkan sinyal proinflamasi melalui MIF. Studi ini mencakup prediksi sifat fisikokimia, farmakokinetik, dan toksisitas (ADMET) kurkuminoid, yang dilanjutkan dengan simulasi molecular docking menggunakan MIF sebagai protein target. Hasil analisis ADMET menunjukkan bahwa kurkumin dan bisdemetoksikurkumin memiliki sifat yang menguntungkan, sedangkan dimetoksikurkumin menunjukkan karakteristik yang kurang diinginkan, seperti volume distribusi (VDss) yang rendah. Oleh karena itu, simulasi molecular docking dilakukan dengan menggunakan kurkumin dan bisdemetoksikurkumin sebagai ligan. Hasil simulasi molecular docking menunjukkan bahwa kurkumin memiliki afinitas pengikatan yang sedikit lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan (S, R)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-5-isoxazole acetic acid methyl ester (ISO-1), senyawa referensi inhibitor MIF. Sementara itu, bisdemetoksikurkumin menunjukkan ikatan yang lebih kuat dengan MIF dibandingkan ISO-1, dengan residu asam amino MIF yang berinteraksi meliputi Lys 32, Ile 64, Asn 97, Pro 1, dan Tyr 95. Dengan demikian, senyawa kurkumin dan bisdemetoksikurkumin berpotensi menghambat aktivitas MIF yang berperan dalam perkembangan DM.   Kata kunci: kurkuminoid, diabetes melitus (dm), peradangan, inhibitor mif, molecular docking

Pengaruh jenis Spesies Pillaring Agent Logam Si dalam proses Pilarisasi Bentonit Alam

Abstract—The pillarization process of natural bentonite from Pacitan, East Java has been carried out using the metal species Si in Na-silicate and TEOS. The pillarization process is carried out using direct pillarization and indirect pillarization methods. In this research, the number of moles of metal pillaring agent used was 5 mmol/gram bentonite. The pillarization process is carried out by mixing the natural bentonite suspension and pillaring agent at a temperature of 80oC and stirring for 5 hours using a hot plate stirrer. Pillars were formed in the calcination and oxidation stages at a temperature of 500oC using N2 and O2 gas flows for 1 hour and 5 hours respectively. The resulting material was characterized using the FTIR spectroscopy method, X-ray diffraction and N2 gas adsorption using the BET method. The characterization results show that TEOS species can form better and more homogeneous pore structures compared to silicate species. The direct pillarization method provides better and more homogeneous pillar heights compared to the indirect pillarization method. However, the pore size obtained is still on the micropore size scale observed using the N2 gas adsorption method with the BET method. Keywords: pillarization, si, teos, bentonite   Abstrak—Telah dilakukan proses pilarisasi bentonit alam asal Pacitan, Jawa Timur menggunakan spesies logam Si dalam Na-silikat dan TEOS.
