Abstract

Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis is a serious global health problem, with Indonesia ranking second worldwide for the highest case burden. Mycobacterium tuberculosis tends to colonize the lung apex; however, standard AP/PA projections present limitations due to clavicle superimposition, which creates a diagnostic blind spot. Current literature recommends an apical lordotic projection with a 15°-20° cephalad angulation, but its application in clinical settings is often adjusted to the patient's condition, resulting in angle variations that have not been scientifically evaluated. This study aims to analyze the 35° top lordotic chest technique and evaluate its diagnostic image value in tuberculosis cases at the Radiology Installation of RSA (Academic Hospital) UGM. Methods: This qualitative descriptive case study was conducted at the Radiology Installation of UGM Academic Hospital from February to May 2026. The subjects consisted of three radiographers and one radiologist, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via observation, semi-structured interviews, and PACS image documentation. The data were analyzed using the interactive model by Miles et al. (2014), encompassing thematic analysis, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification, utilizing source triangulation. Results: This technique was applied using an erect true AP position, a central ray of 35° cephalad, a central point at the manubrium sterni, 58 kVp, 8 mAs, and a 150 cm SID. It was utilized as a compensatory method for patients unable to perform an active lordotic position. The resulting images demonstrated bilateral lung apices free of clavicle superimposition, revealing infiltrates, consolidation, and fibrotic lines in the suprahilar, perihilar, and bilateral paracardial regions, suggesting bilateral pneumonia without ruling out TB. The radiologist affirmed that this technique provides clinical added value for the visualization of apical lesions. Conclusion: This technique serves as a rational clinical adaptation to patient limitations and produces images with adequate diagnostic value for evaluating the lung apex. It is recommended as a complementary examination, rather than a replacement for standard PA/AP projections. The definitive confirmation of tuberculosis still necessitates clinical correlation and ancillary tests, such as Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) sputum smears or cultures.

Abstract

Background: Lopography is a radiographic examination performed to evaluate bowel conditions prior to stoma closure surgery. Previous studies have reported the use of water-soluble contrast media with anteroposterior (AP), lateral, and oblique projections, with contrast administered through the stoma. However, at the Radiology Department of RSUD (Regional General Hospital) dr. Soeselo of Tegal Regency, pediatric lopography for pre-stoma closure (ileostomy) cases is performed using barium contrast media, an AP projection, and contrast administration through both the stoma and anus. This study aims to determine the examination procedure, the rationale for using barium contrast media, and the reason for utilizing only the AP projection. Methods: This study employed a qualitative method with a case study approach conducted at the Radiology Department of RSUD dr. Soeselo, Tegal Regency, from October 2025 to April 2026. The study subjects consisted of three radiographers and one radiologist. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed narratively through transcription, data reduction, comparison with theoretical references, and conclusion drawing. Results: The lopography examination was performed without special preparation other than cleaning the stoma area and removing metallic objects around the abdomen. Equipment and materials prepared included a CR X-ray unit, radiography computer, image reader, radiographic printer, a 34 × 43 cm cassette, a size 16 catheter, 110 grams of barium sulfate contrast mixed with 890 mL of warm water at a ratio of 1:8, a bowl, a 50 cc syringe, a clamp, markers, adhesive tape, gloves, and gel (jelly). The examination was conducted using an AP projection with the patient in a supine position. Barium contrast was administered gradually through the proximal stoma, distal stoma, and anus. Barium contrast was selected because it provides clearer visualization of the intestinal mucosa and anatomy compared with iodinated contrast media. The use of only the AP projection was considered sufficient to demonstrate the entire anatomy of the large intestine, from the ascending colon to the rectum. Conclusion: Pediatric lopography radiographic examination in pre-stoma closure (ileostomy) cases using an AP projection with barium contrast administered through the stoma and anus provides clear visualization of intestinal anatomy, demonstrates contrast distribution throughout the colon, and assists in evaluating bowel conditions before stoma closure surgery. The use of additional projections and watersoluble contrast media may be considered to complement anatomical information and enhance patient safety.

Abstract

Twenty-one years after the Helsinki Memorandum of Understanding, Aceh is routinely presented as one of Southeast Asia's most successful cases of conflict resolution. That reputation, however, rests largely on the completion of disarmament and demobilisation, while the reintegration phase remains structurally unfinished. This article argues that failed reintegration should be conceptualised not as a residual welfare problem but as a strategic vulnerability that non-traditional security actors can exploit. Employing an interpretive case study design operationalised through framework-guided document analysis, the study integrates three analytical lenses: the international DDR framework, Indonesia's national resilience doctrine (Astagatra), and defence management standards, particularly the threat–vulnerability–consequence risk model. Four vulnerability clusters are identified: fiscal-economic failure marked by elite capture and an unresolved beneficiary data deficit; exploitation by transnational criminal networks operating along the Malacca Strait corridor; intergenerational transmission of conflict memory in the absence of completed transitional justice; and political-structural uncertainty arising from the scheduled expiry of Aceh's special autonomy fund in 2027. The analysis suggests that the Aceh case extends the remobilisation literature, and the emerging research on criminal recidivism among ex-combatants, in a direction those literatures have not yet examined: economically remarginalised ex-combatants are absorbed into transnational criminal economies that require no successor armed organisation, a trajectory that conventional DDR success metrics fail to register because it produces no armed conflict data. The article develops an indicative risk matrix ranking the four clusters and derives six cross-institutional early warning indicators. It concludes that reintegration policy functions as an instrument of vulnerability reduction, analytically equivalent in importance to enforcement action against threat actors themselves

Abstract

Background: Purple leaf (Graptophyllum pictum) is a medicinal plant widely used in traditional medicine due to its bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, alkaloids, and steroids. To ensure its safety, quality, and efficacy as a herbal raw material, standardization and phytochemical evaluation are essential. Objective: This study aimed to determine the standardization parameters and phytochemical characteristics of purple leaf simplicia. Methods: The study employed qualitative and quantitative approaches. Purple leaves were cultivated, harvested, processed into simplicia powder, and extracted using the maceration and Soxhlet methods with 96% ethanol. Standardization included moisture content, drying loss, total ash, water-soluble extractive value, ethanol-soluble extractive value, and thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analysis. Data were analyzed descriptively. Results: The cultivation process produced 9 g of simplicia powder. The moisture content, drying loss, total ash, water-soluble extractive value, and ethanol-soluble extractive value were 47.3%, 27.6%, 21.7%, 0.227 g, and 10 g, respectively. Soxhlet extraction yielded 20 mL of concentrated extract. Thin-layer chromatography analysis under UV 254 nm produced Rf values of 0.625, 0.750, and 0.8125, indicating the presence of phytochemical constituents in the extract. Conclusion: Purple leaf simplicia can be successfully standardized using physicochemical parameters and TLC analysis. The findings provide baseline information for quality control and support the utilization of Graptophyllum pictum as a potential raw material for herbal medicine development

Abstract

Red betel (Piper ornatum) is a medicinal plant widely utilized in traditional medicine because of its potential pharmacological properties, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. This study aimed to standardize red betel leaf simplicia and evaluate its phytochemical characteristics to determine its quality as a raw material for herbal medicinal products. An experimental laboratory study was conducted using red betel leaves processed into simplicia through harvesting, wet sorting, washing, drying, and grinding. Ethanolic extracts were prepared using maceration followed by Soxhlet extraction. Standardization was performed by evaluating non-specific parameters, including moisture content, drying loss, ash content, water-soluble extractive value, and ethanol-soluble extractive value. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and qualitative phytochemical screening were employed to identify the presence of major secondary metabolites. The results showed that several quality parameters complied with the Indonesian Herbal Pharmacopoeia standards, while the moisture content and drying loss exceeded the recommended limits, indicating that the drying process requires further optimization. TLC analysis successfully produced characteristic chromatographic profiles, confirming the presence of bioactive compounds in the extract. These findings suggest that red betel leaf possesses considerable potential as a source of herbal medicine; however, improvements in post-harvest handling and drying techniques are essential to produce standardized simplicia with consistent quality and safety

Abstract

Sky mustard (Cyanthillium cinereum) is a medicinal plant that has long been used in traditional medicine because of its potential pharmacological properties attributed to its bioactive secondary metabolites. Standardization of simplicia is essential to ensure the quality, safety, and consistency of herbal raw materials prior to their utilization in pharmaceutical preparations. This study aimed to prepare sky mustard simplicia and evaluate its specific and non-specific quality parameters as well as its phytochemical characteristics. A laboratory-based experimental study was conducted using sky mustard leaves processed into simplicia through harvesting, wet sorting, washing, drying, grinding, and storage. Ethanolic extracts were prepared using maceration followed by Soxhlet extraction. Quality evaluation included determination of moisture content, drying loss, total ash content, water-soluble extractive value, ethanol-soluble extractive value, and thin-layer chromatography (TLC). The results demonstrated that the water-soluble extractive value (19.1%) and ethanol-soluble extractive value (6%) met the requirements of the Indonesian Herbal Pharmacopoeia. However, the moisture content (18%), drying loss (42%), and total ash content (20%) exceeded the recommended standards, indicating that improvements in the drying and post-harvest handling processes are required. Thin-layer chromatography revealed characteristic chromatographic profiles with Rf values of 0.7125, 0.8150, and 0.9625, confirming the presence of bioactive constituents. These findings indicate that Cyanthillium cinereum has promising potential as a herbal medicinal material, although optimization of simplicia preparation and standardization procedures is necessary to obtain consistent quality and comply with pharmacopoeial standards

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of the STOP Technique (Stop, Take a Deep Breath, Observe, Proceed) as a form of brain break in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom, while also exploring how students make sense of their experience with the technique. The study is grounded in the common difficulty teachers face in sustaining students' concentration and readiness to learn throughout extended lessons. A qualitative case study approach was employed in a tenth-grade class at a senior high school in Subang, involving 45 students, four of whom were purposively selected for in-depth interviews to capture varying levels of learning engagement. Data were gathered through classroom observation sheets, field notes, semi-structured interviews with students and an external observer, and a review of the lesson plan document, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014). The results indicate that, at the procedural level, the STOP Technique was carried out accurately and consistently across both meetings, supported by a high degree of agreement among all data sources. Nevertheless, its effects on participation, attention, classroom atmosphere, engagement, and teacher–student interaction were unevenly distributed, with students seated in the front and middle rows showing greater involvement than those seated at the back. A notable gap also emerged between direct observational data, which portrayed a more critical picture, and recall-based interview data, which tended to convey a more favorable impression. These findings suggest that the STOP Technique functions effectively as a calming pause at the procedural level, but its capacity to produce class-wide behavioral change depends heavily on students' initial engagement and physical proximity to the teacher, indicating a need to combine it with broader classroom management strategies for its benefits to reach all students equally

Abstract

Background: Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix that requires a precise diagnosis to determine patient management. An appendicogram is still used as a supporting examination to assist in the evaluation of the appendix. However, there are differences between the theory (Bontrager, K. L., & Lampignano, J. P., 2018) and the practice of using radiographic projections in appendicogram examinations at the Radiology Unit of Aisyiyah Ponorogo Hospital, so a study of the examination techniques used is necessary. Therefore, this study aims to determine the appendicogram examination technique in cases of appendicitis and the reasons for using AP, Oblique, and Left Lateral Decubitus (LLD) projections at the Radiology Unit of Aisyiyah Ponorogo Hospital. Methods: This study used a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. The study was conducted at the Radiology Unit of Aisyiyah Ponorogo General Hospital from December 2025 to May 2026. Informants consisted of three radiographers and one radiology specialist. Informants were selected using purposive sampling based on their direct involvement in appendicogram examinations. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using thematic qualitative data analysis and conclusions were drawn. Results: An appendicogram was performed using barium sulfate contrast media orally and using anteroposterior (AP), oblique, and left lateral decubitus (LLD) projections. The main findings of the study indicated that the use of the oblique projection helped reduce the superposition of abdominal anatomical structures, while the LLD projection improved visualization of the appendix by utilizing the influence of gravity on the distribution of the contrast media. Conclusions: The use of a combination of AP, Oblique, and LLD projections can improve visualization of the appendix by reducing superposition of abdominal anatomy and exploiting the influence of gravity on the distribution of contrast media

Abstract

A shade space is an important element of the campus environment because it can create a comfortable campus environment and support students' academic and social activities. This study aims to describe the condition of shade spaces and analyze the pattern of their use by building users within the Faculty of Science and Technology UIN Alauddin Makassar. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through non-participant observation, Place-centered Mapping behavior mapping, visualization analysis, and documentation. Observations were carried out at several shade points for 16 days, which were divided into morning, noon, and evening periods. The aspects observed included shade source, physical condition, supporting facilities, type of user, type of activity, form of interaction, duration of use, and time of utilization. Data is analyzed through data reduction, activity grouping, shadowing analysis, and spatial pattern mapping. The results showed that shaded spaces with strategic locations, shady vegetation, supporting facilities, and good accessibility had a higher utilization rate than shaded spaces with minimal facilities. The transition area between Buildings E and F is the most used space. The highest intensity of use is found during the day and evening, especially for sit-down or resting activities. On the other hand, shaded spaces without supporting facilities tend to be underutilized. These findings show that the existence of shade is not yet the only determining factor in space utilization. The quality of facilities and the connection of the space with academic activities also affect the use of space. Research recommends the availability of facilities such as seating areas and vegetation diversity to improve the social, academic, and environmental functions of shade spaces in the faculty area. These findings are expected to be the basis for the development of a more comfortable, inclusive, and sustainable campus open space design

Abstract

Remote and hybrid working have become increasingly relevant to the accounting profession, yet evidence on their implications remains fragmented across professional contexts and outcomes. This study systematically reviews the emerging literature to examine the implications of remote and hybrid working for accounting professionals and practice. Following PRISMA 2020, relevant journal articles published between 2022 and 2026 were identified through Scopus and subjected to eligibility assessment and qualitative synthesis. The evidence shows that remote working involves both benefits and challenges across individual, relational and professional, and work and audit dimensions. Flexibility, autonomy, and improved work–life balance coexist with reduced social interaction, challenges in professional development and communication, and concerns regarding audit execution and quality. Differences in these outcomes are associated with organizational support, work policies, socialization practices, and technological competency, suggesting that the implications of remote working depend partly on the conditions under which it is implemented. Current evidence remains concentrated in auditing and public accounting and is strongly influenced by pandemic-related working conditions. Further research across accounting roles and established post-pandemic hybrid settings is therefore needed to understand when and under what conditions different working arrangements are effective.
