Abstract

Legionella pneumophila (L. pneumophila) is widely known to cause respiratory illness outbreaks and remains underdiagnosed, including in Indonesia. Several diagnostic methods are available, yet none have been implemented as a routine diagnostic panel in most clinical microbiology laboratories in Indonesia. The urine antigen test is the cheapest and easy to perform. However, it only detects serogroup 1 of L. pneumophila, creating a blind spot for non-serogroup 1. Culture is the gold standard, but its sensitivity and turnaround time makes culture less feasible in a clinical setting. The direct fluorescent antibody is rapid, nonetheless, expertise and experience are needed to increase the sensitivity. Molecular methods, while very sensitive, cannot rule out contamination since the bacteria are mostly found in water. In order to validate which best method to be performed in Indonesia, a nationwide surveillance and validation study should be performed.

Abstract

Introduction: COVID-19 is an emerging infectious disease that causes a pandemic with high morbidity and mortality due to its wide transmission. This situation should be prevented not only by the government but also by the community. Efforts have taken place to prevent COVID-19 transmission including the obligation to wear masks, wash hands, keep a distance, stay at home, avoid crowds, and administer the vaccination. This study aims to examine the communities’ knowledge, perception, and practice in preventing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study in a suburban area in Jakarta. Ninety-seven respondents participated in this study. Data was collected by filling questionnaire via G-form and analyzed descriptively.   Results: A total of ninety-seven respondents participated in this study with aged 18-73 years. In terms of knowledge about COVID-19, the majority of the respondents know the etiology, symptoms, transmission, and the way to prevent the disease. Only less than half of them understand that corpses are capable of transmitting COVID-19. However, this research found a lack of implementation of practice in preventing COVID-19 transmission because only 62.9% of respondents always bring hand sanitizer/ABHS. Only a small percentage change clothes after leaving the house, do exercise, and take vitamins. Conclusion: Although the community has sufficient knowledge and a good perception of COVID-19 prevention, rigorous effort should be provided to enhance the quality of practice of the community, to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Abstract

Self-efficacy merupakan salah satu bagian dari pilar utama dalam social cognitive theory (SCT) yang dikembangkan oleh Albert Bandura. Berbagai studi melaporkan bahwa self-efficacy berkaitan dengan prestasi akademik mahasiswa. Tinjauan pustaka ini membahas konsep self-efficacy mulai dari definisi, kategori, aspek, peran, faktor yang mempengaruhi, hubungan antara self-efficacy dengan prestasi akademik dan alat ukur yang digunakan untuk menilai self-efficacy pada mahasiswa kedokteran gigi. Kata kunci yang digunakan dalam pencarian meliputi self-efficacy, academic performance, dental student and dentistry pada database NCBI, Sage Publication, Science Direct, PubMed, Google Scholar dan sumber terpercaya lainnya. Dari hasil penelurusan didapatkan bahwa hanya satu literatur dari Kolombia yang membahas hubungan self-efficacy dengan academic performance pada mahasiswa kedokteran gigi. Telusur literatur menunjukkan beberapa alat ukur yang dapat digunakan untuk menilai self-efficacy, yaitu General Self-Efficacy Scale, The Collage Academic Self-Efficacy Scale, The Academic Self-Efficacy, dan Collage Self-Efficacy Inventory. Alat ukur ini menjadi tolak ukur untuk mengetahui tinggi atau rendahnya self-efficacy seseorang. Mahasiswa dengan self-efficacy tinggi memiliki kemampuan dalam mengatur, melaksanakan, dan menyelesaikan masalah yang berkaitan dengan tugas belajar, serta berkeyakinan dapat menyelesaikan tugas dengan baik. Pengetahuan tentang tingkat self-efficacy mahasiswa dapat dijadikan sebagai prediktor terhadap keberhasilan akademik mahasiswa tersebut.

Abstract

Self-Directed Learning (SDL) is an important skill that must be achieved by medical students.The aim of this study is to identify the level of self-motivation and SDL readiness in the medicalstudents as well as to identify factors affecting SDL. This is is a mixed method research,involving first-year and clinical year medical students. A quantitative research is conducted bydistributing self-motivation (MSLQ) and SDL questionnaire (SDLRS). A total sampling isapplied to select the respondents. Furthermore, focus group discussion (FGD) on students andtutors/preceptors is carried out. Informants are chosen by purposive sampling method. Thisresearch reveals that most of medical students have a good level of self-motivation but a lowlevel of SDL readiness. Nevertheless, the mean scores of SDL readiness in both groups showsno significant differences. The research also identifies four major factors affecting the SDLreadiness, namely the students’ characteristics, learning process, the role of tutors/preceptorsand supporting facilities for learning. There is no significant difference between SDL readinessof the first-year and clinical year of medical students. Unprepared students’ characteristics,sub-optimal learning process, unsupported role of tutors/preceptors and inadequate learningresources are found to be the mayor factors influencing SDL readiness.Keywords: self-directed learning readiness; self-motivation; problem-based learning

Abstract

Research showed the potential of tobacco (Nicotiana tobacco) leaves as an antifungal. The tobacco leaves (Nicotiana tobacco) have been studied to have antifungal activity. To facilitate the use of the extract, the tobacco leaf extract was formulated into a nanoemulsion gel using Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) as an oil phase and Tween 80: sorbitol as a surfactant and co-surfactant.  Tobacco leaves were soaked in ethanol using the maceration method, and then the liquid was taken out with a rotavapor machine. After that, the mixture was heated in a water bath (t = 85ºC) to make it thicker. Tobacco extract was identified and formulated in a nanoemulsion gel. Nanoemulsion gel was made into 3 formulas with different concentrations of Tween 80 and sorbitol. Nanoemulsion gel was evaluated for organoleptic properties, pH, viscosity, cycling test, surface tension, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and particle size. Result of evaluation of best formula showed pH 4.52, viscosity 365-573 mPa.s, surface tension 28450±0.21 N/m, morphology spherical shape, particle size 55.1±1.3 nm, polydispersity index 0.236±0.003, and zeta potential -5.16±0.35 mV (n=3). Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that the most stable formula of tobacco leaves nanoemulsion was formula R1, with Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) at 6% and a surfactant-to-cosurfactant ratio of 20%:10%. Statistical analysis results for all evaluations showed that all formulas have significant differences (p ≤ 0.05).

Abstract

Introduction: Onychomycosis is a fungal nail infection usually caused by dermatophytes. Kodamaea ohmeri is a rare fungus that has been reported as a pathogen capable of causing onychomycosis and systemic infections. This yeast-like fungus is often misidentified as Candida sp. A complete identification is required for accurate results. Case: A 40-year-old male with HIV presented with yellow and brittle fingernails for 2 months. KOH examination of nail scrapings was performed, followed by fungal culture. The isolate was identified in parallel using the Integral System Yeast Plus, Vitek-2, MALDI-TOF (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry), and sequencing, and the result was Kodamaea ohmeri. The patient received oral itraconazole and topical ketoconazole. Discussion: Onychomycosis in HIV patients is caused by low immunity, high viral load, and low CD4 values. In this case, K. ohmeri was successfully identified using Vitek-2, MALDI-TOF, and ITS (Internal Transcribed Spacer) area sequencing, while the Integral System Yeast Plus misidentified the isolate as Candida tropicalis. There was clinical improvement in the nail after treatment. Conclusion: Onychomycosis in HIV patients can be caused by Kodamaea ohmeri. Identification can be done with Vitek-2 and MALDI-TOF.

Abstract. Fadhilah QG, Elizabeht A, Falencia M, Santoso I, Maryanto AE, Hemelda NM, Wahid MH. 2025. Probiotic and genomic evaluation of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum T31 isolated from tempoyak in mung bean substrate. Biodiversitas 26: 4435-4444. Traditional fermented foods in Indonesia contain diverse beneficial microorganisms, including Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB), which play an important role. LAB T31 has been isolated from tempoyak and evaluated for probiotic characters. In this research, the isolate was evaluated as a potential probiotic in a mung bean substrate to develop a healthy fermented drink. The result showed that LAB T31 grew well on the mung bean substrate. The population increased from 107 CFU/mL to 109 CFU/mL after 24 hours of incubation. The viability results showed that the LAB T31 population remained 10? CFU/mL after 30 days at 10°C. Cell-free filtrate of fermented mung bean substrate showed antibacterial activity against the tested bacteria. The diameter of inhibition increases from 24 hours (15-17 mm) to 48 hours (16-18 mm) of incubation. Whole genome sequences (WGS) of the isolate were performed using DNBseq technology, and the re-identification using JspeciesWS and FastANI showed that the strain belonged to Lactiplantibacillus plantarum. Analysis of the antibacterial assay test result showed that the LAB T31 genome encoded an antimicrobial peptide known as plantaricin. The hydrophobicity and auto-aggregation reached 38.86% and 36.92%, respectively, after 24 hours of incubation. Functional annotation reported adhesin genes, and the isolate did not suggest hemolytic activity on blood agar. These results supported WGS analysis using KEGG since the reported genes are not related to hemolytic ability and virulence factors. Moreover, antimicrobial resistance analysis showed that the isolate had a vanY gene, with a similarity level of 33.33%. LAB T31 was a potential isolate as a probiotic agent in the mung bean substrate.
