Abstract

Thoracic spinal anesthesia (TSA) is a regional anesthesia technique increasingly used in clinical practice as an alternative to general anesthesia, particularly in thoracoabdominal and upper extremity surgeries. This technique offers several benefits, including optimal pain control, hemodynamic stability, and faster recovery. However, the application of TSA also presents challenges, such as the need for specialized skills, the risk of hypotension, and proper patient selection. This article discusses the benefits and challenges of TSA in modern anesthesiology practice and its implications for improving patient clinical outcomes.

Abstract

Improving the quality of education is inseparable from the role of teachers as the main implementers of the learning process. Optimal teacher performance is influenced by various factors, including the principal's leadership, work discipline, and teacher commitment. This study aims to reveal how these three factors contribute to improving teacher performance at SMA Negeri 1 Takalar. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data was obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The subjects of the study were the principal and teachers at SMA Negeri 1 Takalar. The results of the study showed that school principals applied a participatory and communicative leadership style, thereby creating a conducive work environment and motivating teachers to work better. Teachers' work discipline can be seen from compliance with schedules, teaching readiness, and the implementation of orderly learning administration. Teachers' commitment is also high, reflected in their involvement in school activities and the enthusiasm for participating in professional training. These three factors support each other and significantly contribute to improving teacher performance. Thus, collaboration between the principal's leadership, discipline, and work commitment is an important foundation in creating a quality education system.

Abstract

Aging is a complex biological process characterized by a decline in cellular function and increased susceptibility to degenerative diseases. In recent decades, research has shown that epigenetic modifications—such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and regulation by non-coding RNAs—play a key role in the aging process. These changes influence gene expression without altering the DNA sequence and contribute to cellular damage, chronic inflammation, and tissue dysfunction. As scientific understanding advances, various epigenetic-based molecular interventions have emerged, including epigenetic reprogramming, senolytic therapies, and pharmacological and lifestyle approaches targeting epigenetic mechanisms. Although challenges remain in terms of safety, specificity, and clinical applicability, these approaches offer promising potential for extending healthspan and improving quality of life in later years.

Abstract

In the current century, there is a lot of excitement about the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in human life. This includes the worlds of education, business, health and banking. The presence of AI makes it easier for everyone to carry out all their activities. AI replaces the role of humans in life. Will the AI ​​that humans have created make people more dependent on it, or will humans entrust their lives more to AI? This question will always arise from many circles. Next, how the Bible responds to this phenomenon is what we will see in this article.

Abstract

The number of smokers in Indonesia is increasing every year, thereby increasing the risk factors for various diseases such as: cardiovascular, respiratory, hematological, vascular and malignancy. One of the blood components that has an impact as a result of smoking is Hemoglobin (Hb). Cigarettes produce many chemical compounds that are not good for the body, one of which is carbon dioxide. The high carbon dioxide will cause the affinity for oxygen and Hb to decrease, causing hypoxia. Hypoxia will affect Hb synthesis in the body. The design of this study was cross-sectional with a sample size of 55 people selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria and divided into two groups. 28 people consisted of smokers and 27 non-smokers in the Mekarjaya area, Subang, West Java. This area is a lowland area so that it affects the Hb levels of the people around it. The lower a place to eat, the higher the partial pressure of oxygen. This dermographic factor is one of the factors causing the low respondent's Hb level. In addition, most of the respondent professions in this study were farmers who had heavy physical activity. Physical activity also affects a person's Hb levels. As many as 63.6% of respondents had low Hb levels, 34.5% had normal Hb levels and 1.9% had high Hb levels. There is a difference in Hb carbs between smokers and non-smokers with a p value <0.005.

Abstract

Tropical Cyclone Seroja is one of the unique cyclone phenomena that occured in Indonesian waters. To determine its effect to the plankton concentration in East Nusa Tenggara Waters, 1-D Nutrient, Phytoplankton, Zooplankton, and Detritus (NPZD) ecosystem modeling was carried out. The temperature changes caused by the cyclone has a direct impact on the phytoplankton concentration and indirectly on zooplankton. The simulation shows that the peak concentration of phytoplankton due to TC Seroja occurred on 8-10 April 2021 (3.49 mmolC/m3), while for zooplankton it occurred on 20-22 April 2021 (8.55 mmolC/m3).

Abstract

Outer Ambon Bay (TAL) and Inner Ambon Bay (TAD) are part of Ambon Bay, which are semi-enclosed waters bounded by a narrow threshold. The characteristics of TAL are strongly influenced by the condition of the Banda Sea waters. Physical characteristics in the Banda Sea are influenced by the phenomenon of upwelling during the southeast season which brings water masses with high salinity and low temperature into the TAL. The condition of Ambon Bay is also influenced by the density gradient and tidal upwelling phenomenon. A 3-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling simulation was conducted to see the tidal upwelling phenomenon that affects the physical dynamics in Ambon Bay. The model simulation time was adjusted to the southeast season, namely June 1 - October 31, 2015. Comparison of simulated tidal elevation values with observation data showed a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) value of 0.11 m with a correlation coefficient of 94.3%. The distribution of water temperature from the model simulation shows the same value as the satellite image data, which is 26°C.

Abstract

Previous studies stated that intelligence quotient (IQ) was not able to answer person’s problem of success or failure in their life. In fact, there is another aspect that is just as important, namely adversity quotient (AQ). The current studies showed that AQ was a better index in predicting success. It is not only appear in the world of business and organizations, but also in educational institutions. Every student has expection of graduating on time. In fact, it is not an easy. Many students were found to give up quickly, especially they experienced academic difficulties. The AQ-profile developed by Stoltz was used to obtain AQ profile of 63 students who were completing their thesis. It will be used as a baseline plan related to AQ development. So, the student were able to provide maximum performance. Finally, it was able to increase the percentage of graduation rates on time. Many students showed AQ at a low level, with more quitters than campers and climbers. Based on CO2RE dimensions, origin and ownership indicated the highest category.

Abstract

Based on data from the Global Tuberculosis Report 2020, it is known that 1.4 million people died from tuberculosis. Indonesia is ranked third in the world with 845,000 cases. It is estimated that as many as 24,000 cases of drug-resistant tuberculosis each year, known as Multi Drug Resistant (MDR). An initial survey conducted in the work area of the UPT Puskesmas Tanjung Morawa found that the complete treatment rate for all tuberculosis cases was 60%. One of the indicators of the success of the TB eradication program is drug compliance, so research was conducted using descriptive methods with a cross-sectional approach to see the behavior of tuberculosis patients in efforts to adhere to taking medication. The results obtained in the form of a description of the level of knowledge, attitudes and actions of TB patients who have a high level of compliance in the respondents of this study.
