Hubungan Antara Loneliness Dengan Problematic Internet Use Pada Mahasiswa Selama Masa Pandemi Covid-19

The Internet has a positive impact on daily use but if it is misused it can have a negative impact, namely problematic internet use (PIU). One of the causes of PIU is loneliness. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between loneliness and PIU for Faculty of Psychology UKSW students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants in this research are 122 Faculty of Psychology UKSW students. The measuring instrument used is the GPIUS Version 2 and UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3. The results show that there is a positive relationship between loneliness and problematic internet use. The product moment results obtained are r = 0.246, and the significance value is 0.003 (p <0.05). That is, the higher the loneliness felt by students, the higher the problematic internet use experienced by students. On the other hand, the lower the loneliness, the lower the problematic internet use experienced. Internet memiliki dampak positif dalam penggunaannya sehari-hari tetapi jika disalahgunakan dapat memberikan dampak negatif yaitu problematic internet use (PIU).

Study design and participant characteristics of a randomized controlled trial of directly administered antiretroviral therapy in opioid treatment programs

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>HIV-infected drug users are at higher risk of non-adherence and poor treatment outcomes than HIV-infected non-drug users. Prior work from our group and others suggests that directly administered antiretroviral therapy (DAART) delivered in opioid treatment programs (OTPs) may increase rates of viral suppression.</p> <p>Methods/Design</p> <p>We are conducting a randomized trial comparing DAART to self-administered therapy (SAT) in 5 OTPs in Baltimore, Maryland. Participants and investigators are aware of treatment assignments. The DAART intervention is 12 months. The primary outcome is HIV RNA < 50 copies/mL at 3, 6, and 12 months. To assess persistence of any study arm differences that emerge during the active intervention, we are conducting an 18-month visit (6 months after the intervention concludes). We are collecting electronic adherence data for 2 months in both study arms. Of 457 individuals screened, a total of 107 participants were enrolled, with 56 and 51 randomly assigned to DAART and SAT, respectively. Participants were predominantly African American, approximately half were women, and the median age was 47 years. Active use of cocaine and other drugs was common at baseline. HIV disease stage was advanced in most participants. The median CD4 count at enrollment was 207 cells/mm³, 66 (62%) had a history of an AIDS-defining opportunistic condition, and 21 (20%) were antiretroviral naïve.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>This paper describes the rationale, methods, and baseline characteristics of subjects enrolled in a randomized clinical trial comparing DAART to SAT in opioid treatment programs.</p> <p>Trial Registration</p> <p>ClinicalTrials.gov: <a href="http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00279110">NCT00279110</a></p

Mewujudkan Pemukul Gong Terkendali

Tidak diijinkan karya tersebut diunggah ke dalam aplikasi Repositori Perpustakaan Universitas dikarenakan masih ada kekurangan administrasi.Dalam skripsi ini dibuat pemukul gong terkendali yang dapat mengendalikan kecepatan dan sudut awal sehingga menghasilkan gaya yang tidak berubah – ubah, alat ini dibuat menirukan orang yang sedang memukul gong. Dari hasil pengukuran dan pengujian alat terlihat bahwa untuk sudut 90o kecepatan v_cepat=0.79 m/s, kecepatan v_sedang=0.70 m/s, kecepatan v_lambat=0.64 m/s, untuk sudut 60o kecepatan v_cepat=0.78 m/s, kecepatan v_sedang=0.67 m/s, kecepatan v_lambat=0.53 m/s , dan untuk sudut 30o kecepatan v_cepat=0.61 m/s, kecepatan v_sedang=0.49 m/s, kecepatan v_lambat=0.41 m/s. Dengan gaya yang dihasilkan oleh alat untuk sudut 90o,60o dan 30o untuk kecepatan cepat 5.18 N, sedang 2.87 N dan lambat 0.1 N. Hasil dari alat berbeda dengan spesifikasi yang telah ditetapkan, hal ini dikarenakan kekuatan manusia dalam memukul gong tidak stabil misalnya saat memukul gong pertama dengan kecepatan (cepat, sedang dan lambat) belum tentu sama dengan saat memukul gong yang kedua bila dibandingkan dengan alat, alat lebih stabil dalam memukul gong.This thesis shares how a well-calculated gong, the which can control the speed and angle, results in stable force imitating the sound of a gong being hit. The result of the measurement and experiment done during the research towards this tool shows v_cepat=0.79 m/s, v_sedang=0.70 m/s, v_lambat=0.64 m/s on a 90o angle, v_cepat=0.78 m/s, v_sedang=0.67 m/s, v_lambat=0.53 m/s on a 60o angle and on a 30o angle shows v_cepat=0.61 m/s, v_sedang=0.49 m/s, v_lambat=0.41 m/s. The force resulted by the gong on a 90o, 60o and 30o angles with a fast speed of 5.18N, 2.87N and medium speed of low speed of 0.1N. The results are different from the target specification due to the inconsistency of man power aspect when hitting the gong. One may hit the gong differently from the second time hitting it in terms of the speed. However, using the tool, results will always be consistent

Anti-Inflammatory, Analgesic And Antipyretic Effects Of Lepidagathis Anobrya Nees (Acanthaceae)

This study investigated the general acute, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effects of methanol extract of Lepidagathis anobrya Nees (Acanthaceae). Carrageenan-induced rat paw edema and croton oil-induced ear edema in rats were used for the evaluation of general acute anti-inflammatory effects. Acetic acid- induced writhing response and yeast-induced hyperpyrexia in mice were used to evaluate the analgesic and antipyretic activities respectively. The extract at doses of 10, 25, 50 and 100 mgkg-1 for carrageenan test and doses of 0.5 mg/ear for croton oil test induced a significant reduction (p < 0.001) of paw and eat edemas in rats. In the analgesic and antipyretic tests, the extract has shown a significant inhibition of writhes and hyperpyrexia with all the doses used when compared to the untreated control group. These results clearly show the anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effects of the methanol extract of Lepidagathis anobyra and give the scientific basis for its traditional use. Further studies are needed to clarify the mechanism of action and the components responsible for these pharmacological effects

Directly administered antiretroviral therapy for HIV-infected individuals in opioid treatment programs: results from a randomized clinical trial.

Data regarding the efficacy of directly administered antiretroviral therapy (DAART) are mixed. Opioid treatment programs (OTPs) provide a convenient framework for DAART. In a randomized controlled trial, we compared DAART and self-administered therapy (SAT) among HIV-infected subjects attending five OTPs in Baltimore, MD.HIV-infected individuals attending OTPs were eligible if they were not taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) or were virologically failing ART at last clinical assessment. In subjects assigned to DAART, we observed one ART dose per weekday at the OTP for up to 12 months. SAT subjects administered ART at home. The primary efficacy comparison was the between-arm difference in the average proportions with HIV RNA <50 copies/mL during the intervention phase (3-, 6-, and 12-month study visits), using a logistic regression model accounting for intra-person correlation due to repeated observations. Adherence was measured with electronic monitors in both arms.We randomized 55 and 52 subjects from five Baltimore OTPs to DAART and SAT, respectively. The average proportions with HIV RNA <50 copies/mL during the intervention phase were 0.51 in DAART and 0.40 in SAT (difference 0.11, 95% CI: -0.020 to 0.24). There were no significant differences between arms in electronically-measured adherence, average CD4 cell increase from baseline, average change in log10 HIV RNA from baseline, opportunistic conditions, hospitalizations, mortality, or the development of new drug resistance mutations.In this randomized trial, we found little evidence that DAART provided clinical benefits compared to SAT among HIV-infected subjects attending OTPs.ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00279110 NCT00279110&quest;term&hairsp;&equals;&hairsp;NCT00279110&rank&hairsp;&equals;&hairsp;1

Rapid Detection of Trypanosoma cruzi in Human Serum by Use of an Immunochromatographic Dipstick Test ▿

We evaluated a commercially available immunochromatographic dipstick test to detect Trypanosoma cruzi infection in 366 human serum samples with known serological results from Argentina, Ecuador, Mexico, and Venezuela. One hundred forty-nine of 366 (40.7%) and 171/366 (46.7%) samples tested positive by dipstick and serology, respectively. Dipstick sensitivity was calculated to be 84.8% (range between countries, 77.5 to 95%), and specificity was 97.9% (95.9 to 100%)
