The Role of Suicide Literacy and Suicide Stigma in Shaping Attitudes toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help among Indonesian Emerging Adults

Suicide is the fourth leading cause of premature death among emerging adults, with significant implications for public health. In Indonesia, the prevalence of suicide cases has reached 6,544, although this figure likely underrepresents the true extent of the issue. Alarmingly, only a small percentage of Indonesian adolescents, approximately 2.6%, seek psychological assistance despite the pressing need for mental health support. This study investigates the roles of suicide literacy and stigma in shaping attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help. Data were collected through an online survey involving 397 respondents. The analysis utilized multiple linear regression to assess the contributions of suicide literacy, stigma, and various demographic factors to attitudes towards seeking professional psychological help. Findings indicated that while suicide literacy, stigma, and demographic variables collectively contribute to attitudes toward seeking professional help, only suicide stigma and demographic factors (college major and family relation) significantly influenced these attitudes. This study underscores the critical need to address and reduce suicide stigma as a means of fostering positive attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help among emerging adults in Indonesia

Unraveling FOMO: Exploring the Factors Behind Fear of Missing Out among College Students

The increasing use of social media among college students can trigger mental health problems such as FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). There are not many studies that look at the relationship between the intensity of social media use and FOMO in college students. This study aims to provide an overview of FOMO among college students and assess the factors associated with FOMO. This quantitative study used a cross-sectional design with purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted through an online survey filled out by 104 college students. The variables measured were respondent characteristics, duration of social media use, number of social media accounts, and FOMO scale. The results of this study showed that 73.1% of students were classified as high duration users, 77.9% had less than 10 accounts, and 43.3% had high FOMO. There was a significant relationship between age (p=0.003) and undergraduate program (p=0.001) with FOMO. This study also found the significant relationship between duration (p=0.012) and number of accounts (p=0.007) with FOMO. There was a significant relationship between age, undergraduate program, duration, and number of accounts with FOMO in undergraduate students

Early Mobilization Therapy Robot for Medical Rehabilitation Purpose

Impairments in ambulation may result from neurological dysfunction. The expense of therapy constitutes a substantial obstacle to recovery following neurological disorders. An uncomplicated and cost-effective two-degree-of-freedom early mobilization trainer robot has been conceived and constructed. This device is intended for early training or adaptation before ready for mobilization training on the ground. The early mobilization trainer assists persons with mobility impairments during their early therapy phase. This research analyses the design and construction of an early mobilization trainer positioned within the patient's bed. The experimental findings indicate that in the condition with load at the hip joint, the output of this device can follow the trajectory input precisely. For the knee joint, the output of this device can follow the trajectory input, but with 0.9 degree of a steady-state error. This amount of steady state error does not affect the therapy because it is too small in term of knee movement precision during therapy

A Design and Evaluation of a SNEDDS-Based System for Temu Ireng (Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb.) Extract: Enhancing Antioxidant Efficacy Using the SLD Technique

Temu Ireng (Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb.) is known for its strong antioxidant properties, primarily due to its bioactive compounds such as curcumin. However, these chemicals' lipophilia and instability in traditional formulations frequently limit their bioavailability. To address these challenges, a Self-Nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery System (SNEDDS) was developed using the Simple Lattice Design (SLD) method to improve the chemical and physical properties of Temu Ireng extract by forming a stable nanoemulsion that is uniformly distributed in the digestive system. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate a SNEDDS of Temu Ireng extract using the SLD approach, with a focus on enhancing its antioxidant activity. The formulation involved selecting suitable oils, surfactants, and cosurfactants, followed by optimization based on solubility studies, phase diagrams, and thermodynamic stability tests. The SNEDDS was characterized for physical properties such as emulsification time, transmittance, particle size, zeta potential, and polydispersity index. The optimized SNEDDS formulation exhibited excellent characteristics, including an emulsification time of less than 1 minute, near 100% transmittance, a particle size of 9.77 ± 1.33 nm, zeta potential of 0.9 ± 0.1 mV, and a polydispersity index of 0.302 ± 0.033. Antioxidant testing using the DPPH method showed that the 0.1% SNEDDS formulation of Temu Ireng extract had an inhibition concentration (IC50) value of 58.482 mg/L, indicating strong antioxidant activity. The results suggest that the SNEDDS formulation using the SLD method could be an effective strategy to enhance the bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of Temu Ireng extract as an antioxidant agent

Antioxidant activity of silver nanoparticles synthesized using Tulak wood leaf extract (schefflera elliptica harms)

Nanoparticles have been used in therapies applied to target specific parts. By delivering electrons to free radicals, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) can reduce their activity and stop a chain reaction that would otherwise result in the creation of more free radicals. But the most common way to create silver nanoparticles is to use a variety of organic and inorganic reducing agents to chemically reduce silver precursors, usually silver salts. Various stabilizing or capping agents are frequently used to this process. Green synthesis and other ecologically friendly synthesis techniques are becoming more popular for producing metal nanoparticles that adhere to biodiversity principles. Accordingly, this study has determined that the tulak tree is a plant that effectively reduces green space. This study uses different concentrations of AgNO3 solution at 1 mM and 2 mM. A Particle Size Analyzer's (PSA), The distribution of sizes of the artificially produced AgNPs was examined. The particles measuring between 1 and 100 nm made from the Tulak wood leaf extract with the corresponding AgNO3 concentrations had average diameters of 88.2 nm and 16.9 nm. AgNPs were also shown to exist in a range of shapes, encompassing sphere, hexagonal, and triangular ones, according to Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) examination. Antioxidant qualities are displayed by AgNPs made with Tulak wood leaf extract. These antioxidant properties were assessed utilizing DPPH, which has 517 nm is the greatest absorption. Furthermore, the antioxidant activity's outcomes tests show that the AgNPs made using Tulak wood leaf extract biosynthesis have comparatively low antioxidant activity

Undesirable events in the use of high-alert medicine geriatric patients at RSUPN Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo

High-Alert Medications (HAM) are drugs that have a high risk of causing significant harm to patients if misused. It is estimated that one in ten geriatric patients experiences undesirable events during hospitalization related to medication use. Detect undesirable events due to the use of high-alert insulin and high-alert heparin drugs in geriatric patients at Rumah Sakit Umum Pusat Nasional (RSUPN) Dr Cipto Mangunkusumo using the trigger tool method based on positive predictive value (PPV) and determine the effect of using high-alert insulin and high alert heparin drugs on undesirable events. A retrospective cohort study will review secondary data from patient medical records (MR). The sample used was from 300 geriatric patients, 82 patients used insulin and 79 patients used heparin which met the inclusion criteria. Data were analyzed in the form of frequencies and percentages (%), calculation of PPV values, and the effect of using high-alert insulin and high-alert heparin on undesirable events using the Chi-Square test. There were 8 trigger-positive patients with undesirable events in the form of hypoglycemia from 82 insulin patients and 4 trigger-positive patients with undesirable events in the form of extended activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) values from 79 heparin patients. Based on the PPV value, both insulin (9.75%) and heparin (5.33%), the trigger tool has not been able to detect undesirable events when using high-alert insulin and high-alert heparin. Based on statistical tests, the p-value= 0.033 (p<0.05) for insulin and heparin p-value= 0.043 (p<0.05) meaning that there is an influence of the use of high-alert insulin and high-alert heparin on undesirable events when using both drugs. The trigger tool method cannot detect undesirable events when using high-alert insulin and high-alert heparin drugs based on laboratory triggers

An Indonesian Perspective of Father’s Involvement in Children’s Education: The Role of Religiosity, Marital Satisfaction, and Father’s Self-Efficacy

In Indonesia, traditional social norms continue to emphasize the father as the dominant and authoritative figure in family life. However, research on fathers' involvement in children's education and the factors influencing it remains limited. This study investigates the alignment between a theoretical model of father involvement and empirical data, specifically examining the impact of religiosity, marital satisfaction, and fathers' self-efficacy on their participation in children's education. The study surveyed 393 fathers of state junior high school students in Malang, Indonesia, using four standardized instruments: the Father’s Involvement Scale, Religiosity Scale, Marital Satisfaction Scale, and Father’s Self-Efficacy Scale. Structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis confirmed a strong fit between the theoretical framework and empirical findings. Results indicate that religiosity has a direct influence on father involvement and marital satisfaction but does not significantly affect involvement indirectly through marital satisfaction. Marital satisfaction, in turn, has a significant impact on both father involvement and self-efficacy, while self-efficacy directly contributes to greater involvement in children's education. Based on these findings, schools are encouraged to actively engage fathers in educational activities to enhance their role in adolescent education. Given the study's quantitative approach, future research should consider a mixed-methods design to provide a more comprehensive understanding of father involvement in adolescent education

Antioxidant and antiinflammatory of clove extract (Syzigium aromaticum) in skeletal muscle damage

Clove extract is a natural ingredient abundant in Indonesia that has various benefits, including being an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Although Research has been conducted, it has been limited to discussing the effects of clove extract on muscle damage. This study aims to determine the effect of clove extract on skeletal muscle damage due to excessive eccentric exercise in mice. We used experimental research methods by a post-test only with control group design. Fifteen male mice were randomized into 5 groups. Group I: Normal control, Group II: Negative control, treatment group with a dose of 100 mg/kg BW, treatment group with a dose of 150 mg/kg BW, and treatment group with a dose of 250 mg/kg BW. Measurement of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate Oxidase (NOX) and Toll Like Receptor4 (TLR 4) levels were carried out using the ELISA method via Quadriceps muscle samples, and skeletal muscle damage was viewed through an x1000 light microscope. The results of this study carried out using ANOVA showed results of p 0.004 and 0.006, which means that there was a decrease in oxidative stress as measured using NOX and a decrease in the inflammatory stimulator TLR 4 in skeletal muscle damage due to eccentric exercise.ANOVA test results show that there are differences in influence between treatment groups and show that clove extract has benefits as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory in muscle damage. According to this study, clove extract has the potential to be an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory which can reduce NOX levels and reduce the inflammatory, mediator TLR4 in muscle damage caused by excessive eccentric exercise

The law and the agitation for state police in Nigeria: Any point of convergence?

Introduction to the Problem: Every major security breach or threat to lives and property in any federating state of Nigeria renews the agitation for the creation of state police in Nigeria. The unitary command of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) in a constitutional federalism such as Nigeria can at best be an aberration given the expansive unpoliced spaces within the country with their unavoidable security consequences. Purpose/Study Objectives: This paper makes a constructive appraisal of the policing challenges in Nigeria, identifying the centralised command of the NPF as a major obstacle to effective policing in Nigeria. Design/Methodology/Approach: Adopting the doctrinal research methodology, the paper evaluates the current policing structure and its effectiveness. Findings: The paper finds that there is a need to unbundle the NPF, justifying the desirability for the establishment of autonomous state police as an ingredient of true federalism. It recommends the amendment of Sections 214 and 215(4) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (CFRN) to align with the provisions of Section 176 of the CFRN and subsisting case-law authorities.
