Parental expectations play a crucial role in shaping a child's developmental trajectory, serving as a primary motivator for the attainment of future aspirations. Researchers conducted a literature review on parental expectations toward their children, utilizing ten instruments developed in journal literature from 2008 to 2020. Of particular interest was the Parent Questionnaire containing the Chinese Parental Expectation on Child’s Future Scale (CPECF), it constitutes a fundamental framework for comprehending parental anticipations in the realm of child development. This study aimed to adapt and validate the PECF scale, employing established validation procedures endorsed by the International Test Commission. Initially, a cohort of 987 parents participated; however, after data cleansing procedures aimed at eliminating incomplete responses and ensuring accuracy, the analysis focused on 593 respondents. The participants’ ages ranged from 21 to 78 years, with a mean age of 35.93 years. Confirmatory Factor Analysis revealed 17 valid and reliable items. The model demonstrated a good fit. These findings suggest that the PECF scale effectively measures parental expectations, aligning with the original scale. It is anticipated that this scale will serve as a valuable tool for research concerning parental expectations in Indonesia, aiding in understanding and addressing the dynamics

Identifikasi dan Pola Resistensi Isolat Bakteri Antibiotik Infeksi Sputum: Studi pada pasien Pneumonia

Pneumonia adalah sebuah peradangan pada kantung udara di paru-paru (alveoli) dan jaringan sekitarnya yang disebabkan oleh bakteri, sering terjadi di negara berkembang. Penggunaan antimikroba merupakan terapi kausal utama terhadap bakteri penyebab. Peningkatan resistensi terhadap antibiotik dapat menyebabkan resistensi multi-obat / multi drug resistace (MDR). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi jenis bakteri dan pola resistensinya terhadap antibiotik dari isolat sputum pada pasien pneumonia di RSUD Gunung Jati, Cirebon. Metode penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif dengan pemeriksaan kultur dan uji resistensi menggunakan alat VITEK 2 Compact. Hasil penelitian mengklasifikasikan bakteri berdasarkan jenisnya dan pola resistensi terhadap antibiotik, serta pola MDR, dengan mempertimbangkan jenis kelamin dan usia pasien. Studi ini menemukan bahwa bakteri Gram negatif yang paling umum adalah Klebsiella pneumoniae (38,96%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (24,35%), dan Acinetobacter baumannii (22,73%). Streptococcus pneumoniae (63,41%) merupakan bakteri Gram positif yang paling banyak diisolasi. Dari total 349 isolat bakteri, sebanyak 175 (50%) menunjukkan resistensi terhadap beberapa jenis antibiotik (MDR). Acinetobacter baumannii (75,7%) memiliki tingkat MDR tertinggi di antara bakteri Gram negatif, sedangkan Streptococcus pneumoniae (30,8%) memiliki tingkat MDR tertinggi di antara bakteri Gram positif. Lebih lanjut, tingkat MDR cenderung lebih tinggi pada pasien laki- laki berusia ≥ 60 tahun (75%) dan pada pasien laki-laki berusia 20-29 tahun (71,4%)

Identification of aquifer layers using geoelectric methods based on Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) in Dengkol Village

Dengkol Village, Malang Regency, East Java, is an area that is known to be difficult to get water sources or is a red zone for well drillers, because there are several excavation points that fail to get water. The depth of the existing well is close to 100m, dominated by hard rock, so drilling costs in this area are quite expensive. This research aims to determine the depth of the aquifer layer at the research location, so that it can be used as a reference in drilling wells at that location. This research was carried out using the geoelectric VES method with a schlumberger configuration and an electrode path length of 400 meters. The research results show that the subsurface lithology in Dengkol Village consists of clay rock, alluvium, tuff breccia at a depth of 0,7-4,24 m with rock resistivity value of 6892 Ωm and a depth of 30.5 – 46,3 m with a rock resistivity value of 521 Ωm, is a layer of hard rock. Sandstone rock at a depth of 46,3 – 167 m with a rock resistivity value of 3,95 Ωm is an aquifer layer
