Abstract

This study aimed to develop additional material in reading that is based on culture. In this study the subject is the eighth grade students of Junior High School Swasta Cendramata. The main objective in this research identified and reading issue that students faced. On describing this culture-based reading learning material to be developed so that students can have an attraction in reading with culture-based reading materials. In this study, using the development of culture-based reading materials adapted from the character Sugiono (2011) and based on good and correct reading criteria. The description of culture-based reading learning materials for 8th grade Junior High School Swasta Cendramata is described in 4 aspects, namely testing, content, language use and reading activities. This study uses a validity test which shows that the prototype is evaluated with good quality. The results of the research test were quite satisfying in improving students' reading learning, students enthusiastically showed a sense of curiosity and student activeness in reading culture-based reading materials in understanding how to read properly and correctly with culture-based reading materials..

Abstract

Introduction: The proliferation of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) has sparked a global debate regarding their cardiovascular safety, particularly their association with myocardial infarction (MI). While often perceived as a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes, their long-term effects on cardiac health are poorly understood, with existing evidence being conflicting and methodologically limited. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to synthesize the available evidence on the relationship between e-cigarette use and the incidence of MI in adults. Methods: Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, a systematic search was conducted across PubMed, Semantic Scholar, Springer, and Google Scholar. Studies were included if they were observational (cohort, case-control, cross-sectional) or systematic reviews examining e-cigarette use in adults and reporting MI as an outcome. Data on study design, population characteristics, exposure details, and MI risk estimates were extracted. A random-effects model was used for the meta-analysis to calculate a summarized hazard ratio (HR). Results: Thirty studies were included in the systematic review. The meta-analysis of four eligible studies revealed that e-cigarette use was associated with a statistically significant increase in MI risk (HR 1.66, 95% CI 1.22–2.25, p<0.05). However, significant heterogeneity was detected (I² = 93%). Dual use of e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes conferred the highest risk (OR up to 4.62). Compared to traditional smoking, e-cigarette use was associated with reduced odds of MI (OR 0.61). Acute use of e-cigarettes consistently increased blood pressure and heart rate. Conclusion: E-cigarette use is associated with a significantly increased risk of myocardial infarction, although the evidence is highly heterogeneous. Dual use presents the greatest danger, while switching completely from traditional cigarettes may offer a degree of harm reduction. The low certainty of the current evidence, largely from cross-sectional studies, highlights an urgent need for long-term prospective research.
