Abstract

Adolescence is a vulnerable period for mental health problems, including suicidal behavior. Insomnia is frequently experienced by adolescents and may be associated with emotional dysregulation and psychological distress. This intention of this study was to analyze relationship between insomnia and suicidal behavior among adolescents at SMAN 11 Mataram. This analytical observational study used a cross-sectional design involving 89 students of SMAN 11 Mataram. The sample size was determined using the Slovin from a population of 113 students with a 5% margin of error. Sampling was conducted using stratified random sampling based on grade level: grade 10(29 students), grade 11(36 students), and grade 12(48 students), with proportional random selection resulting in 23, 28, and 37 students, respectively. Data were collected using the validated Indonesian version of the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and Suicide Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised (SBQ-R). Insomnia was categorized based on ISI score ≥10, while suicidal behavior risk was identified using SBQ-R score ≥7. Reliability analysis showed Cronbach’s alpha values of 0.750 for ISI and 0.896 for SBQ-R.Spearman’s rank correlation test showed a significant association between insomnia and suicidal behavior (r = 0.229; p = 0.031). It was concluded there is a positive association between insomnia and suicidal with a weak correlation.

Abstract

Chili anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum spp., remains a major threat to crop productivity and fruit quality worldwide. The increasing resistance of fungal pathogens to synthetic fungicides highlights the need for sustainable, plant-based alternatives. This study provides computational insights into the antifungal mechanisms of coumarin and hexanol, two major bioactive compounds derived from Ageratum conyzoides and Cyperus rotundus. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were employed to examine the interactions of these compounds with key Colletotrichum proteins, including calmodulin, PETFP cutinase complex, and chitin deacetylase. The docking results revealed that coumarin exhibited stronger binding affinities and more stable conformations within the enzyme active sites than hexanol, forming multiple hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions with catalytic residues. Molecular dynamics analyses further confirmed the structural stability and compactness of coumarin–protein complexes, indicating its potential to disrupt fungal enzymatic functions critical for pathogenicity. These findings suggest that coumarin, in particular, may serve as a promising lead compound for the development of eco-friendly antifungal agents. The study contributes to a molecular-level understanding of plant-derived antifungal mechanisms, supporting future research into the rational design and optimization of biofungicides for sustainable agriculture.

Abstract

Tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis remains a major public health issue in Indonesia. Prolonged use of anti-tuberculosis medications may lead to adverse drug reactions (ADRs). This study aimed to describe the incidence and characteristics of ADRs among Category 1 tuberculosis patients at Bojonegoro Health Center. A descriptive observational study with a retrospective design was conducted during April–May 2026 using medical records and structured interviews. The study sample consisted of 37 patients selected from a population of 40 using the Slovin formula and purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed descriptively using frequency and percentage distributions, while ADR causality was evaluated using the Naranjo algorithm. The results indicated that ADRs were more frequently observed in female patients, individuals aged 46–55 years, and during the intensive phase of treatment. The most commonly reported ADR was reddish urine discoloration (100.0%), followed by anorexia (67.6%) and nausea (59.5%). Most ADRs were classified as mild to moderate in severity, while decreased vision was reported in 10.8% of patients. Based on the Naranjo scale, 93.4% of ADRs were categorized as probable. Regular monitoring of ADRs is recommended to support early detection and appropriate management during anti-tuberculosis therapy.

Abstract

Post-gold mining soils generally exhibit low fertility, acidic pH, and limited nutrient availability, which constrain plant growth and revegetation efforts. This study aimed to evaluate the interaction effect of compost and dolomite ameliorants on the growth of gaharu (Gyrinops verstegii), jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus), and durian (Durio zibethinus) seedlings cultivated on post-gold mining soil. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a factorial arrangement consisting of two factors: ameliorant treatments (without ameliorant, 50 g compost + 50 g dolomite, and 60 g compost + 40 g dolomite) and plant species (gaharu, jackfruit, and durian). Each treatment combination was replicated three times, resulting in 27 experimental units. Growth parameters observed included plant height, stem diameter, leaf number, root length, fresh biomass weight, and dry biomass weight. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by the Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) test at the 5% significance level. The results showed that the interaction between ameliorants and plant species significantly affected stem diameter, leaf number, and fresh biomass weight, but had no significant effect on plant height, root length, and dry biomass weight. The best growth performance was generally obtained from the application of 60 g compost and 40 g dolomite. Therefore, compost and dolomite can be recommended as effective soil ameliorants to support revegetation programs on post-gold mining lands using forestry and multipurpose tree species.

Abstract

One of the main causes of declining kidney function is type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), which is typified by a drop in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The triglyceride-to-HDL (TG/HDL) ratio indicates atherogenic dyslipidemia, which contributes to the development of diabetic nephropathy, whereas HbA1c represents long-term glycemic management. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between HbA1c and TG/HDL ratio with eGFR in DM2 patients in Mataram. A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted involving 56 patients at Risa Sentra Medika Hospital from Juli to Desember 2025. Laboratory data were used to gather information on HbA1c, triglycerides, HDL, serum creatinine, and eGFR. The correlation between the variables was evaluated using regression analysis and Pearson correlation. The eGFR was 78.37 ml/min/1.73 m², the TG/HDL ratio was 5.84, and the mean HbA1c was 9.21%. The TG/HDL ratio had a very weak positive connection with eGFR (r = 0.143), but HbA1c had a very poor negative correlation (r = -0.037). According to regression analysis, neither variable was statistically significant (p>0.05) and only explained 2.2% of the variation in eGFR (R2 = 0.022). among conclusion, among patients with DM2, there was no discernible relationship between HbA1c and the TG/HDL ratio with eGFR.

Abstract

Canvas and dluwang are cellulose-based painting supports that differ in material composition and surface characteristics, resulting in different susceptibilities to fungal biodeterioration. This study evaluated fungal colonization dynamics on canvas and dluwang using Trichoderma sp., a cellulolytic fungus commonly associated with deterioration of organic cultural materials. Sterile canvas and dluwang were placed on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) colonized by Trichoderma sp. and incubated at room temperature under a relative humidity of >70% for 28 days. Fungal growth was assessed every seven days using a semi-quantitative surface coverage categorization (0%, <25%, 25–50%, 50–75%, >75%). The results revealed different colonization patterns between the two materials. Dluwang showed rapid colonization, increasing from 25–50% at day 7 to >75% by day 14 and remaining fully colonized thereafter. In contrast, canvas remained at <25% colonization throughout the incubation period. These findings highlight the importance of considering material characteristics and resistance to fungal biodeterioration in preventive conservation and support the development of effective conservation strategies for organic artistic supports in tropical environments.

Abstract

Sea turtles are protected marine animals that play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of coastal and marine ecosystems. This study aims to examine the nesting behavior of sea turtles and evaluate the management of the conservation area in Amping Parak, Pesisir Selatan Regency. Conducted from April 15 to May 28, 2026, this research employed a qualitative descriptive method utilizing observation and literature reviews. The results indicate that turtles nest at night, with an incubation period of 45–60 days, which is strongly influenced by nest temperature and humidity. Although Amping Parak has high potential as a nesting habitat, its management is hindered by limited funding and resources. Therefore, optimizing conservation efforts requires nest protection, semi-natural hatchery practices, and community education to ensure the sustainability of sea turtle conservation.

Abstract

Skin diseases remain a common health problem in boarding school environments, particularly among tensth-grade students who are undergoing early adolescent adaptation. Communal living conditions, high occupancy density, and limited personal care practices increase the risk of skin disorders such as acne and scabies. This study aimed to analyze the pattern of skin disease occurrence and the response to treatment using Mikania micrantha, with particular attention to lifestyle factors and adolescent adaptation in an Islamic boarding school in East Java. A descriptive quantitative approach with an observational design was employed. Data were obtained from health records of female tenth-grade students who experienced skin disorders and received topical treatment using Mikania micrantha. Descriptive analysis was conducted to examine case distribution and treatment outcomes. The findings indicate that acne and scabies were the most prevalent skin conditions among students. The use of Mikania micrantha showed generally positive responses; however, treatment effectiveness was closely related to environmental conditions and hygiene behaviors. This study highlights the importance of an integrative approach combining traditional herbal treatment, environmental management, and the promotion of clean and healthy living behaviors to address skin health issues among adolescents in boarding school settings.

Abstract

Momordica cochinchinensis is a medicinal, herbs locally known in gorontallo as dumbaya. Tradisionally, this plant has been utilized as both a food of food course a herbal medicine. Due to its rich contains of bioactive compounds, making it a potential candidate for development through plant tissue culture. This study aimed to determine the effects of different chitosan concentrations on the biomass and callus morphology of M. cochinchinensis cultivated in vitro. The experiment was arranged in a non-factorial completey randomized design consisting of three chitosan concentrations: 15 mg L -1, 25 mg L-1, and 35 mg L-1, respectively, as well as a 5000 mg L-1 chitosan stock solution per liter of MS medium. Each treatment consisted of three replicates. The observed parameters included callus fresh weight, dry weight, color, texture, and the percentage of callus formation. Data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA at a 5% significance level. Since the fresh weight data showed significant differences, it was followed by a Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at the 5% level. The results showed that different chitosan concentrations significantly affected the callus fresh weight (F = 7.932; p = 0.021). the 15 mg L-1 treatment yielded the highest fresh weight, 0.04067 ± 0.0115 g, which was significantly different from the 35 mg L-1 treatment (0.3000 ± 0.0458 g) but not significantly different from the 25 mg L-1 treatment (0.3300 ± 0.0346 g) conversely, chitosan concentration did not significantly affect the culls dry weight (F = 3.519); p = 0.097). all treatmeants resulted in 100% callus formation with white and friable callus morphology. These findings indicate that among the tasted concentrations, 15 mg L-1 of chitosan is the most favorable concentration for demonstrating callus fresh weight accumulation of M. cochinchinensis under in vitro culture conditions.
