Faktor yang Berhubungan dengan Budaya Pemberian ASI Eksklusif di Puskesmas Makale Selatan Kabupaten Tana Toraja
Tana Toraja Regency is experiencing cultural changes and modernization that can affect the practice of exclusive breastfeeding. Technological developments and outside cultural influences can cause shifts in traditional values ??and practices. The Tana Toraja culture has conflicting values ??related to the practice of exclusive breastfeeding. For example, traditional values ??that respect and prioritize family ties can go hand in hand with the practice of exclusive breastfeeding. However, other cultural factors such as customs involving supplementary feeding of infants may conflict with this practice. Cultural factors that involve the role of the family and society can be an obstacle in the practice of exclusive breastfeeding. This study aims to identify cultural factors that support exclusive breastfeeding. Type and design of a quantitative study using a cross-sectional study design conducted at the Makale Selatan Public Health Center, Tana Toraja Regency from May to June 2023. The population and sample were all 108 breastfeeding mothers with accidental sampling as the sample. The collection and processing of the data used were primary and secondary data using a questionnaire, as well as statistical analysis using the chi-square test and logistic regression. The results showed that the role of the elderly (p=0.017), the role of the family (p=0.001), religious and belief factors (p=0.014), traditions and cultural heritage (p=0.001) were related to the culture of exclusive breastfeeding, and the role of the elderly was the variable most related to Exp (B) = 12.320. The conclusion is that the role of the elderly, the role of the family, religious and belief factors and traditions and cultural heritage are factors that cause a culture of exclusive breastfeeding, so that programmed education efforts are needed regarding sustainable prenatal classes. By knowing these factors, appropriate strategies and interventions can be developed to promote the practice of exclusive breastfeeding in Tana Toraja District

Using the delphi approach to identify priority areas for health visiting practice in an area of deprivation
Families with children living in areas of high deprivation face multiple health and social challenges, and this high level of need has impacts on the work of health practitioners working in such areas. All families in the UK with children under five years have access to health visiting services, and health visitors have a key role in mitigating the effects of deprivation by addressing health needs through evidence based practice. This paper reports the first stage of a project in Tower Hamlets, London, an area of significant deprivation, which aims to develop an evidence-based toolkit to support health visitors in their practice with families. The first stage used a modified Delphi process to identify the priority health needs of families in the area between June and July 2012. The three-stage Delphi process involved 25 people: four health visitors, four other members of the health visiting service, and 17 representatives of other services working with families. A focus group event was followed by a second event where individuals completed a questionnaire ranking the 27 priorities identified in the first event. The consultation process concluded with participants completing a second questionnaire, by email, confirming or changing their prioritisation of the topics
BODIPY-based conjugated polymers for broadband light sensing and harvesting applications
The synthesis of novel low band-gap polymers has significantly improved light sensing and harvesting in polymer-fullerene devices. Here the synthesis of two low band-gap polymers based on the 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene core (BODIPY), and either bis(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (bis-EDOT) or its all-sulfur analogue bis(3,4-ethylenedithiathiophene) (bis-EDTT) are described. The polymers demonstrate ambipolar charge transport and are shown to be suitable for broadband light sensing and solar energy harvesting in solution-processable polymer-fullerene devices
Solution-processable 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole containing compound based on the novel 1-dodecyl-6-dodecoxynaphthyridine-2-one unit for organic field-effect transistors
Small molecule organic semiconductors have well-defined structures and can be used in place of polymers which often show batch-to-batch variation. Many different electron-rich donor and electron-deficient acceptor units have been used to design materials with reduced HOMO-LUMO gaps and improved mobilities. Here we introduce a novel acceptor unit, 1-dodecyl-6-dodecoxynaphthyridine-2-one. This acceptor unit has been used in the synthesis of two novel compounds, with thiophene and 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BT) cores. The BT-containing compound shows a narrower HOMO-LUMO gap, broad solid-state absorption and has been applied to organic field-effect transistors, showing a mobility of 0.022 cm2 V−1 s−1 after optimisation of devices using self-assembled monolayers
Exploring the impact of social media on anxiety among university students in the United Kingdom: qualitative study
Background: The rapid surge in social media platforms has significant implications for users’ mental health, particularly anxiety. In the case of social media, the impact on mental well-being has been highlighted by multiple stakeholders as a cause for concern. However, there has been limited research into how the association between social media and anxiety arises, specifically among university students—the generation that has seen the introduction and evolution of social media, and currently lives through the medium. Extant systematic literature reviews within this area of research have not yet focused on university students or anxiety, rather predominantly investigating adolescents or generalized mental health symptoms and disorders. Furthermore, there is little to no qualitative data exploring the association between social media and anxiety among university students. Objective: The purpose of this study is to conduct a systematic literature review of the existing literature and a qualitative study that aims to develop foundational knowledge around the association of social media and anxiety among university students and enhance extant knowledge and theory. Methods: A total of 29 semistructured interviews were conducted, comprising 19 male students (65.5%) and 10 female students (34.5%) with a mean age of 21.5 years. All students were undergraduates from 6 universities across the United Kingdom, with most students studying in London (89.7%). Participants were enrolled through a homogenous purposive sampling technique via social media channels, word of mouth, and university faculties. Recruitment was suspended at the point of data saturation. Participants were eligible for the study if they were university students in the United Kingdom and users of social media. Results: Thematic analysis resulted in 8 second-order themes: 3 mediating factors that decrease anxiety levels and 5 factors that increase anxiety levels. Social media decreased anxiety through positive experiences, social connectivity, and escapism. Social media increased anxiety through stress, comparison, fear of missing out, negative experiences, and procrastination. Conclusions: This qualitative study sheds critical light on how university students perceive how social media affects their anxiety levels. Students revealed that social media did impact their anxiety levels and considered it an important factor in their mental health. Thus, it is essential to educate stakeholders, including students, university counselors, and health care professionals, about the potential impact of social media on students’ anxiety levels. Since anxiety is a multifactorial condition, pinpointing the main stressors in a person’s life, such as social media use, may help manage these patients more effectively. The current research highlights that there are also many benefits to social media, and uncovering these may help in producing more holistic management plans for anxiety, reflective of the students’ social media usage
Effect of end group functionalisation of small molecules featuring the fluorene-thiophene-benzothiadiazole motif as emitters in solution-processed red and orange organic light-emitting diodes
A series of red fluorescent materials (compounds 1-4), which each contain the symmetric fluorene-thiophene-BT-thiophene-fluorene core, is presented along with their performance in solution-processed OLED devices. Extending the molecular conjugation through end-capping with additional fluorene units (compound 2), or through incorporation of donor functionalities (compounds 3 and 4) improves OLED performance relative to the parent compound 1. Notably, incorporating triphenylamine donor groups in compound 3 led to solution-processed OLED devices operating with a peak luminance of 2888 cd m −2 and a low turn-on voltage (3.6 V)
Nanoparticles of Cu2ZnSnS4 as performance enhancing additives for organic field-effect transistors
The addition of oleylamine coated Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) nanoparticles to solutions of an organic semiconductor used to fabricate organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) has been investigated. The oligothiophene-based small molecule 5T-TTF and the polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) were each applied in the transistors with various concentrations of CZTS (5-20%). Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was applied to characterise the surface morphology of the OFETs. The use of 5 and 10 wt% of the CZTS nanoparticles in 5T-TTF and P3HT solutions, respectively, appears to be a simple and effective way of improving OFET performance

Cool to warm white light emission from hybrid inorganic/organic light-emitting diodes
The synthesis and characterisation of two novel organic down-converting molecules is disclosed, together with their performance as functional colour-converters in combination with inorganic blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Each molecule contains two fluorene-triphenylamine arms, connected to either a benzothiadiazole or bisbenzothiadiazole core. These molecules have been selected on the basis that they are free from absorption bands in the green region of the visible spectrum to maximise their performance and offer improvements compared with previous BODIPY-containing analogues. The inorganic InGaN/GaN LED emits at 444 nm, overlying the absorption of each of the organic molecules. The combination of the blue (inorganic) and yellow (organic) emission is shown to produce reasonable quality, white light-emitting hybrid devices for both down-converter molecules. Cool to warm white light is achieved for both molecules by increasing the concentration. An optimum colour rendering index (CRI) value of 66 is obtained for the mono-benzothiadiazole molecule. Also a high blue-to-white efficacy (defined as white luminous flux (lm)/blue radiant flux (W)) of 368 lm/W is achieved, superseding the current phosphor converters of 200-300 lm/W. A comparison of these down-converting molecules to the older generation BODIPY-containing molecules is also provided
