Abstract

Independent learning has become a crucial competency in the digital era, especially in STEM fields, where adaptability and self-direction are essential. Specifically, underprivileged and out-of-school children face barriers in acquiring such skills due to limited access to formal education. While prior research explores project-based and collaborative learning in formal settings, there remains a knowledge gap in connecting informal community-based STEM programs to national curriculum goals for marginalized learners. This study aims to examine the development of independent learning skills through the Electrical Engineering Teaching Program (TEMA) at Rumah Belajar MiFasol, a community initiative targeting educational equity. Results from participatory observation, questionnaires, and interviews with 22 participants reveal that 63.6% found the program highly beneficial, 72.7% were actively engaged, and 90.9% desired future iterations. The novelty lies in TEMA’s alignment with the Indonesian National Curriculum in an informal context, integrating core competencies and practical STEM activities like the ice cream experiment to stimulate curiosity and critical thinking. The implications suggest that structured, informal educational interventions—rooted in national standards—can bridge educational disparities and cultivate learner autonomy among underserved populations.Highlight : Empowering Out-of-School Students: The Electro Teaching Program provides access to STEM education for underprivileged children, fostering independent learning and self-confidence. Interactive and Practical Approach: Activities such as experiments and games make learning engaging and effective, aligning with national education standards. Positive Impact and Feedback: Over 90% of participants expressed high satisfaction, showing strong interest in continuing the program. Keywords : Education, Innovative Learning, STEM Program, Electro Teaching, Independent Learning

Abstract

Background: Preterm birth, defined as delivery between 24 and 37 weeks of gestation, remains a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Specific Background: It can occur spontaneously or due to medical indications, with risk factors ranging from maternal age and infections to obstetric history. Knowledge Gap: Despite global recognition of these risks, limited data exist on the specific contributing factors in localized hospital settings within developing regions. Aims: This study aimed to identify the predominant factors associated with preterm birth among pregnant women at Bint Huda Hospital. Results: Among 80 women who experienced preterm birth, the majority were aged 20–30 years (66.3%), had primary education (70%), and lived in urban areas (55%). Urinary tract infection emerged as the most significant risk factor (82.5%), followed by premature membrane rupture (27.5%), preeclampsia (25%), and a history of previous preterm birth (25%). Most participants were multiparous (63.8%) and had received good antenatal care (85%). Cesarean section was the dominant mode of delivery (60%). Novelty: This study highlights the prominence of infections, especially urinary tract infections, over traditionally emphasized factors like maternal age or multiple gestations. Implications: The findings underscore the importance of targeted infection prevention and antenatal surveillance to reduce preterm birth rates in similar populations.Highlights: Urinary tract infection is the most prevalent risk factor.

Abstract

General Background: Fuzzy estimation plays a vital role in enhancing the precision of statistical inference under uncertainty, particularly in reliability theory. Specific Background: Classical estimators often struggle with mixed probability distributions involving both continuous and vague components. Knowledge Gap: Despite the theoretical relevance, limited comparative analysis exists on fuzzy estimators within hybrid exponential-gamma models under varied risk functions. Aim: This study aims to derive and compare various fuzzy estimators for the risk function of a mixed continuous distribution formed by combining the exponential (θ) and Gamma (2,θ) distributions, with mixing proportions β/(β+1) and 1/(β+1), respectively. Results: We derive the corresponding probability density function (pdf), cumulative distribution function (CDF), reliability, and hazard functions. A fuzzy vagueness factor (k̃) is introduced into the hazard equation, and the r-th raw moment [μ′(r)] is formulated. Parameters θ and β are estimated via maximum likelihood, moments, and frequency ratio methods. Novelty: The integration of fuzzy theory into hazard modeling for a quasi-Lindley framework, coupled with comprehensive estimator comparison, offers novel insights. Implications: The findings enhance reliability analysis under fuzzy environments, enabling more robust decision-making in engineering and survival analysis contexts. Highlights: Introduces fuzzy estimation in hazard function modeling. Compares three estimation methods for mixed distributions. Derives complete reliability metrics from a hybrid model. Keywords: Maximum Likelihood, Moment Estimation, Fuzzy Estimator, Hazard Rate, Quasi-Lindley Distribution

Abstract

Background: Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae is a major causative agent of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and represents a growing therapeutic challenge, particularly in immunocompromised patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of MDR in K. pneumoniae isolates from immunocompromised patients with UTIs. Methods: Urine samples were collected from 597 immunocompromised patients with UTIs. K. pneumoniae was isolated and identified, and the isolates were subjected to susceptibility testing against 25 antibiotics. Results: Fifty-two (12.2%) K. pneumoniae isolates were isolated from 427 positive urine samples. The results showed a high prevalence of MDR (73.1%) with specific resistance patterns associated with certain antibiotic classes. The relationship between MDR and patient demographic and clinical variables was also analyzed, and statistically significant associations were found between the presence of the pattern and length of hospital stay (P=0.0238), prolonged infection duration (P=0.0026), use of indwelling urinary catheter (P= 0.0014), and history of antibiotic treatment (P = 0.0019). Conclusion: The prevalence of MDR K. pneumoniae was higher in immunocompromised patients, and its occurrence was associated with a longer length of stay, prolonged infection, catheter use, and a history of antibiotic treatment. Highlights: 73.1% of K. pneumoniae isolates were multidrug-resistant. MDR linked to longer hospital stays, catheter use, and prior antibiotics. Serious concern for treating UTIs in vulnerable patients. Keywords: Multidrug Resistance, Klebsiella Pneumoniae, Urinary Tract Infection, Immunocompromised Patients, Antibiotic Resistance

Abstract

Background: The esophagus exhibits species-specific structural adaptations related to diet and function, particularly in its abdominal segment. Method: Samples from adult rabbit and guinea pig esophagi were processed using routine histological techniques and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Measurements of epithelial height and muscularis thickness were statistically analyzed (P ≤ 0.05). Results: Significant histomorphometric differences were observed between the two species in epithelial and muscular thickness, with the exception of the submucosal layer. Aims: To compare the histological architecture of the abdominal esophagus in adult rabbits and guinea pigs, focusing on epithelial keratinization and muscular organization. Findings: Both species showed keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, but the degree of keratinization and muscle layer arrangement varied. The rabbit showed partial keratinization and a thicker muscularis externa, while the guinea pig had full keratinization and complex muscular layering. Novelty: This study provides the first direct comparative analysis of the abdominal esophageal segment between these two rodent species, highlighting structural distinctions potentially linked to dietary habits. Impact: The findings offer valuable insights for veterinary anatomy, comparative histology, and may inform experimental models involving the gastrointestinal tract in small mammals. Highlights: Species Comparison: Highlights structural differences in the esophagus between rabbits and guinea pigs. Keratinization Pattern: Shows variation in epithelial keratinization linked to species-specific function. Veterinary Insight: Provides data useful for experimental and anatomical studies in small mammals. Keywords: Esophagus, Rabbit , Histology, Histochemical.

Abstract

General Background: Despite Indonesia's Muslim-majority population, the market share of Islamic financial products remains low. Specific Background: Islamic financial literacy, trust in financial institutions, and personal religiosity have been identified as key determinants in financial decision-making, yet empirical studies show inconsistent findings. Knowledge Gap: Previous research has not adequately assessed these three factors simultaneously, particularly within a student population that receives Islamic education. Aims: This study aims to examine how religiosity, trust, and sharia financial literacy affect students’ interest in using Islamic financial products. Results: Based on a survey of 100 purposively sampled students at UIN North Sumatra, multiple linear regression analysis revealed that all three variables — religiosity (β = 0.345), trust (β = 0.445), and sharia financial literacy (β = 0.236) — have a positive and significant relationship with interest in using Islamic financial products, explaining 74.2% of the variance. Novelty: This study is one of the first to simultaneously analyze these predictors among students of an Islamic university, providing insights into the behavioral intentions of a strategically important demographic. Implications: The findings underscore the need for collaborative efforts between Islamic financial institutions and universities to foster literacy, trust, and religious alignment with financial behavior among youth.Highlights: Trust is the strongest predictor of product interest among students. Sharia financial literacy significantly correlates with usage interest. The model explains 74.2% of the variation in interest behavior. Keywords: religiosity, trust, Islamic financial literacy, student behavior, Islamic banking
