    The use of digital devices was found to increase during the Covid-19 pandemic. In the context of medical education, a shift to distance learning has increased the use of digital devices and gadgets in student learning activities. A study of computer vision syndrome (CVS) related to the use of digital devices by medical students during study activities can be beneficial for educational programme policy development and promote awareness of better healthy lifestyles among stakeholders. To determine the association between computer duration use and break time with the incidence of CVS among medical students during the COVID 19 pandemic era. Subject and Methods: One hundred and ninety-four undergraduate and clerkship medical students of Muhammadiyah Surabaya University-Faculty of Medicine (MSU-FM) participated in an online survey using a re-validated CVS Questionnaire (CVS-Q) by Seguí et al. The data were analysed using SPSS version 25. One hundred and ninety-four students responded to the questionnaire, with the most frequently reported complaints being headaches (73%), a burning sensation in the eyes (69%) and increased sensitivity to light (67%). It was found that 67.4% of people who used the computer for more than three hours continuously (p = .002) and 75.8% of those who took a break of less than 15 minutes (p = .000) had CVS. A significant association exists between the duration of continuous computer use and break timeand the incidence of CVS among undergraduate medical students. The prevalence of CVS was found 80.5% among medical students.Keywords: COVID-19, computer vision syndrome, computer use, online activities, medical student

Methods: Reviewing several published scientific articles regarding the phenomenon of increased risk of obesity due to online school during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Results: There is a relationship between online school that increased risk of obesity where are sedentary behavior, stress, and diet. This is because online school makes decreased physical activity, increased screen time, irregular sleep patterns, and stress. This can be experienced by any students. Conclusion: Online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic is proven to escalate risks in students becoming obese, according to an additional increase in their sedentary lifestyle. Hence a modification in their lifestyle and routine is highly needed

    Pembatasan hak akses dalam suatu sistem komputer yang dibangun merupakan bagian dari keamanan sistem yang dapat dilakukan. Meningkatnya akses melalui internet memberikan peluang cukup besar bagi seseorang untuk mengganggu sistem yang dibangun orang lain yang sifatnya stand alone, jaringan lokal maupun jaringan global. Dalam membangun sistem keamanan atas aplikasi pada penelitian ini adalah menggunakan Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Dalam SOA sebuah permodelan sistem perangkat lunak dibangun dengan pendekatan service oriented yaitu pendekatan pada pelayanan terhadap keamanan data. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dengan metode SOA, sistem aplikasi belajar mengajar dapat digunakan lebih baik dan tepat  tanpa perlu khawatir akan ada  data yang hilang atau dikendalikan oleh oranglain. &nbsp

    Abstract Background Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries. Results In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. Conclusion This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries

    Background: This hybrid education forces us to become sedentary, but there is a difference between the time before and during the pandemic. This sedentary life event raises the possibility of an increase in fasting blood sugar even at a young age, so that it can lead to insulin resistance earlier. Lifestyle patterns are one of the risk factors often abused by the community for impaired fasting blood sugar, which also has the potential to become diabetes mellitus. Every year the prevalence of impaired fasting blood sugar incidence increases worldwide, and it is estimated that there will be 470 million people diagnosed with impaired fasting blood sugar by 2030Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between lifestyle and the incidence of impaired fasting blood sugar in students of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Muhammadiyah Surabaya.Method: The study was conducted using an observational analytical method with a cross-sectional study type. A minimum sample of 79 respondents with simple random sampling. Instrument to assess lifestyle using Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II questionnaire, for fasting blood sugar using glucometer.Results: The results showed a lifestyle relationship to impaired fasting blood sugar incidence with a significance value of 0.000 and a correlation value of 0.621. This value interprets a strong positive relationship where lifestyle has a unidirectional relationship with fasting blood sugar values.Conclusion: Based on these data, it is concluded that there is a significant unidirectional relationship between lifestyle and the incidence of impaired fasting blood sugar
