Land use and land cover (LULC) changes are significant drivers of global environmental change, impacting ecosystem processes, biological cycles, and biodiversity. This study aimed to describe the LULC changes in Saiwa Wetland from 1993 to 2023 and discuss their potential impacts on the rare Sitatunga antelope. We utilized remote sensing and GIS technologies, downloading cloud-free Landsat images from the USGS website, including Landsat TM, ETM+, OLI, and Sentinel images. These images underwent supervised and unsupervised classification to identify spectral signatures of various LULC classes. Post-classification refinement and a multi-date post-classification comparison algorithm using QGIS were employed for change detection. The analysis identified five LULC classes: forested areas, reeds/papyrus, grass/shrub areas, bare areas, and water areas. Results indicated a decrease in forested areas from 37% in 1993 to 34% in 2023 and a reduction in grass/shrub areas from 19% to 16%. Conversely, reeds/papyrus increased from 24% to 26%, and bare areas increased from 6% to 8%. Water areas also saw an increase from 13% to 16%. These changes are attributed to human activities such as logging, mining, and agricultural encroachment, along with climatic changes. We envisage that the LULC changes could have effects on the habitats of Sitatunga antelope whose population has declined dramatically from 200 individuals in 2018 to 60 in 2021 in the Saiwa wetland ecosystem. Immediate conservation and restoration measures are essential to preserve the integrity of the Saiwa wetland ecosystem and its associated biodiversity.

One of the hallmarks of diabetes, a metabolic disease caused by a lack of secretion, work, or both insulins, is hyperglycemia. Although insulin is the most effective treatment for diabetes mellitus, most patients are reluctant to inject insulin. A problem that can arise from not taking insulin as prescribed at the initial dose is cardiovascular disease, which is a leading cause of morbidity and death in diabetics. The goal is to analyze the administration of insulin therapy in diabetic individuals who receive it. The PICO Strategy method is applied to research topics using populations/problems, interventions, comparisons, outcomes, and keywords relevant to Sciencedirect, PubMed, Nelitik, and Google Scholar (in Indonesian and English). The results of the review obtained were the compliance of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients in undergoing therapy, some participants were obedient to undergo insulin therapy regularly. Conclusion factors of non-compliance with insulin therapy often arise fear of hypoglycemia, discomfort and fear in using insulin injections
糖尿病是一种代谢性疾病,由胰岛素分泌不足、胰岛素工作不足或胰岛素和胰岛素同时不足引起,其特征之一就是高血糖。虽然胰岛素是治疗糖尿病最有效的方法,但大多数患者都不愿意注射胰岛素。不按处方初始剂量注射胰岛素可能引发的问题是心血管疾病,而心血管疾病是糖尿病患者发病和死亡的主要原因。我们的目标是分析接受胰岛素治疗的糖尿病患者的用药情况。研究课题采用了 PICO 战略方法,使用了与 Sciencedirect、PubMed、Nelitik 和 Google Scholar(印尼语和英语)相关的人群/问题、干预措施、比较、结果和关键词。审查结果显示,糖尿病(DM)患者接受治疗的依从性较好,部分参与者愿意定期接受胰岛素治疗。结论 不遵从胰岛素治疗的因素往往是对低血糖的恐惧、使用胰岛素注射时的不适和恐惧。

Pain is a phenomenon that is often found in everyday life and a sign of tissue damage in the body. Many things can cause pain. Pain is caused due to the effects of a certain disease or as a result of injury. An illness or injury can cause pain, one of the most common pains being abdominal pain. Because pain management in the emergency department must be quick and precise, analgesics are often used to manage pain, including abdominal pain. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of dzikir relaxation therapy on reducing pain scale in abdominal pain patients at PKU Aisyiyah Boyolali Hospital. This type of research is case study research. Sample number of 5 respondents using measuring instruments Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and analysis techniques using sample t test. Based on the test results, the sample t test produced a p-value of 0.001 (p-value) < 0.05 so that Ho was rejected and Ha was accepted, which means that there is an influence in the provision of dzikir relaxation therapy on reducing the pain scale. Conclusion: there is an effect of dzikir relaxation therapy on acute pain in abdominal patients. This research is expected to increase knowledge and independence in treatment to reduce complaints with nonpharmacological therapy, namely dzikir relaxation therapy.
疼痛是日常生活中经常出现的一种现象,也是身体组织受损的一种迹象。很多事情都会引起疼痛。疼痛是由于某种疾病的影响或受伤造成的。疾病或受伤都会引起疼痛,其中最常见的疼痛是腹痛。由于急诊科的疼痛处理必须快速、准确,因此通常使用镇痛剂来控制疼痛,包括腹痛。本研究的目的是确定 Dzikir 放松疗法对减轻北京大学爱西雅-博约拉里医院腹痛患者疼痛程度的影响。本研究属于个案研究。样本数为 5 人,使用的测量工具为数字评分量表(NRS),分析技术为样本 t 检验。根据测试结果,样本 t 检验得出的 p 值为 0.001(p 值)< 0.05,因此 Ho 被拒绝,Ha 被接受,这意味着提供 dzikir 放松疗法对减少疼痛量表有影响。结论:dzikir 放松疗法对腹部患者的急性疼痛有影响。这项研究有望增加治疗知识和独立性,以非药物疗法(即 dzikir 放松疗法)减少主诉。

This research aims to find out, explain and test the Post-COVID-19 Economic Recovery Analysis of Inflation Fluctuation Management in Indonesia. This research uses quantitative methods with a descriptive and verification approach by collecting presentations through a process of analysis and hypothesis testing. The data used is secondary data, namely from Ceic Data, Trading Economics and Bank Indonesia for 2019-2023. The data analysis method in this research uses a difference test where this model is used to analyze pre-post or before and after research models. The research results show that there are significant differences in inflation and exchange rates during COVID-19 and post-COVID-19. Post-COVID-19 economic recovery policies such as fiscal stimulus and quantitative easing were able to reduce inflation and stabilize the exchange rate. Coordination is needed between the central, regional and monetary authorities to maintain macroeconomic stability after the pandemic. This research concludes that the post-COVID-19 economic recovery policy has succeeded in controlling inflation and the exchange rate in Indonesia, although regular evaluation and refinement of policies is required.

One of the most controversial topics today in the realm of Technology and Intellectual property Law is the patentability or not of inventions wrought by Artificial Intelligence. Significant progress in law has been made in this regard in jurisdictions like the United States and the United Kingdom where the consensus of judicial opinion is that inventions made by Artificial Intelligence, to wit, robots, digital assistants etc. are not eligible to be granted patent. However, there have been growing scholarly exhortations in legal cycles for possible review of this position. This article is a new addition to that increasing scholastic demand for the expansion of the parameters for patentability especially as it relates to Artificial Intelligence. It suggests amongst other things that while the patentability of each case of AI-driven invention ought to be decided on the merits of its own peculiar facts, nonetheless, the relative levels of involvement of the said Artificial Intelligence in the process of making the invention sought to be awarded a patent, and the substantiality or not of its contribution to the project, should also weigh high in the overall consideration of whether the resulting invention should be patented or not.

International student retention is a critical concern for educational institutions worldwide, given its implications for institutional reputation, financial stability, and global competitiveness. This paper presents a comprehensive critical literature review aimed at exploring strategies to enhance the retention of international students. By synthesizing existing research, it identifies challenges faced by institutions in retaining these students and evaluates the effectiveness of various strategies in improving completion rates. The review highlights the multifaceted nature of challenges encountered by international students, including academic, social, cultural, and institutional barriers. These challenges often contribute to higher attrition rates among international students compared to their domestic counterparts. Factors such as language proficiency, cultural adjustment, financial constraints, and lack of social support emerge as significant determinants influencing retention outcomes. Furthermore, the paper critically examines a range of strategies employed by educational institutions to address these challenges and enhance retention rates. These strategies encompass academic support programs, cultural adaptation initiatives, financial assistance schemes, and community-building activities. Additionally, the review explores the role of institutional policies, administrative support structures, and faculty engagement in fostering a supportive environment for international students. Moreover, the paper evaluates the effectiveness of these strategies based on empirical evidence, analyzing their impact on retention rates and the broader implications for institutional outcomes. It discusses the interplay between retention efforts, institutional reputation, and financial sustainability, emphasizing the importance of a holistic approach to student support and success. In conclusion, this critical literature review offers valuable insights into the complexities of international student retention and provides evidence-based recommendations for enhancing retention efforts. By addressing the diverse needs of international students and fostering a supportive learning environment, institutions can not only improve completion rates but also strengthen their global standing and ensure long-term financial viability in an increasingly competitive higher education landscape.

The integration of blockchain technology into healthcare data management has emerged as a transformative paradigm, promising to address critical challenges in security, privacy, and patient outcomes. The paper begins with an exploration of the fundamental principles of blockchain technology and its current applications in the healthcare sector. Special emphasis is placed on the potential benefits and challenges associated with adopting blockchain, setting the stage for an in-depth analysis. In terms of security, the paper examines how blockchain ensures data integrity and immutability, leveraging decentralized structures and smart contracts for robust access control. The discussion extends to the privacy implications of blockchain, highlighting its role in granting patients’ ownership and control over their health data while maintaining confidentiality and anonymity. The analysis also delves into regulatory compliance and legal considerations, ensuring a holistic examination of the privacy landscape. The impact on patient outcomes is a central focus, exploring how blockchain enhances interoperability, streamlines healthcare processes, and potentially transforms the patient experience. Real-world case studies provide practical insights into the positive effects observed in healthcare settings. However, acknowledging the transformative potential comes with an exploration of challenges and limitations. Technical hurdles, ethical considerations, and the need for seamless integration with existing healthcare systems are discussed, providing a balanced perspective on the roadblocks faced in widespread blockchain adoption. Looking towards the future, the paper outlines emerging trends in blockchain and healthcare, offering recommendations for organizations considering implementation. It concludes by summarizing key findings and underscoring the importance of ongoing research, ultimately positioning blockchain as a catalyst for a paradigm shift in healthcare data management.
