Spontaneous Pneumothorax after Physical Exertion on Adolescets with Vaping History in Diponegoro National Hospital Semarang: A Case Report
Get PDFBackground: Vaping is now a trend for a tobacco-smoking alternative. However, studies and regulations regarding the side effects of vaping are limited. Recently, vaping-associated spontaneous pneumothorax cases were reported. Pneumothorax, when air accumulates in the pleural cavity, could progress to an emergency case. It is rarely related to physical exercise.Case Presentation: We found two spontaneous pneumothorax cases in Diponegoro National Hospital that presented with chest pain and cough post-exercise in vaping adolescents. The diagnosis was established based on medical history, physical examination, and chest X-ray. Both patients were treated with water-sealed drainage (WSD) and intensive care.Conclusion: Pneumothorax is an important diagnosis to consider in vaping patients, resulting in long stay and high-cost hospitalization. Vaping-associated spontaneous pneumothorax cases in active adolescents should receive special attention for conducting electronic cigarette studies and regulations in Indonesia
Corrected Trapezoidal Rule For The Riemann-Stieltjes Integral
Get PDFThis study investigates the derivation of a corrected trapezoidal rule for approximating the Riemann-Stieltjes integral. The corrected trapezoidal rule is derived by approximating certain monomial functions to obtain optimal method coefficients. The proposed method has an accuracy of order three. Furthermore, an error analysis is conducted to assess the accuracy of the obtained approximation. In the final section, numerical computations are presented to compare the performance of the proposed method with existing methods. The results demonstrate that the proposed method produces smaller errors compared to previously developed approaches
Energy Efficiency and Carbon-Neutral Knowledge, Attitudes and Perception (KAP) across the Campuses of Lagos State University (LASU), Nigeria
Get PDFThis study investigated students’ awareness, participation, and commitment to sustainability initiatives across the four campuses of Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo, Ikeja, Epe, and Badagry. Data were collected from 214 randomly selected students. The data obtained were analyzed using simple percentages, tables, Pearson correlation, and One-Way ANOVA. The results obtained revealed that 49.1% of the respondents demonstrated high awareness of sustainability initiatives, with Badagry campus recording the highest awareness at 95.5%, and Ikeja the lowest at 35.6%. Furthermore, 63.1% of students indicated familiarity with LASU’s sustainability programmes, reflecting a moderate level of institutional visibility, while 48.1% rated the visibility of these efforts as high, again with Badagry leading at 95.5%. Despite these levels of awareness, only 26.6% of students strongly agreed that LASU is committed to sustainability. Among campuses, Badagry (50.0%) and Ikeja (42.2%) showed the strongest perceptions of institutional commitment. Opinions on LASU’s energy initiatives were mixed: 54.2% rated them as somewhat effective, 28.5% as very effective, and 39.3% believed the efforts were insufficient. Statistical analysis showed positive correlations between awareness and energy-saving behavior (r = 0.224, p = 0.001), as well as between awareness and intentions for future participation (r = 0.174, p = 0.011). Adoption of energy-saving behaviors varied significantly across campuses (F = 10.841, p = 0.000), while intentions to participate in future initiatives did not show significant differences (F = 2.023, p = 0.112). The result generally revealed that LASU students exhibited moderate to high levels of engagement with sustainability initiatives. The notable variations in awareness, perception, and participation across campuses, especially between Badagry and others, highlight the need for tailored, campus-specific strategies to ensure more balanced and widespread adoption of sustainable practices

Fake News and Its Influence on Political Polarization
Get PDFDigital spaces have become critical arenas for the spread of fake news and hate speech, which exacerbate societal polarization. This polarization intensifies divides, often along partisan lines, and can escalate into violence, thereby undermining social cohesion and democratic stability. During elections, fake news campaigns contribute significantly to polarization by influencing voter behavior, spreading misinformation rapidly, and raising concerns about the credibility of information sources and free speech. As most democracies depend on informed voters and fair electoral processes, the role of independent media watchdogs becomes vital. This paper examines how media watchdogs operated during world’s biggest democratic elections, in India and the United States in 2024. The chapter focuses on two key questions: (1) What role do media watchdogs play in political polarization and disinformation during elections? And (2) How do they promote accurate information and democratic resilience in highly polarized electoral contexts? Through a comparative analysis of content published by Newslaundry in India and American Oversight in the U.S., this study identifies how these organizations addressed misinformation and exposed fake news tactics. The 2024 elections illustrate how polarization shaped electoral outcomes, public discourse, media narratives, and democratic participation in both countries. Despite challenges like rapid digital disinformation spread, social media amplification, and enforcement gaps, watchdogs employed collaborative and investigative methods to uphold media accountability. The findings reveal convergences and divergences in their approaches, emphasizing their critical role in enhancing transparency, combating disinformation, and strengthening democratic resilience amidst polarized electoral environments

Bakteri yang Berasosiasi dengan Karang Keras yang Terinfeksi Penyakit White Syndrome di Perairan Sawopudo, Sulawesi Tenggara, Indonesia
Get PDFCoral disease is one of the most significant factors contributing to coral mortality, leading to a reduction in coral cover. The direct causes of coral disease remain a subject of ongoing investigation by researchers at both national and international levels. There is a relationship between corals and microbes that form the coral holobiont, which can be beneficial, harmful, or neutral. This study aims to isolate, purify, and identify bacteria associated with corals infected with white syndrome (WS) at the molecular level through 16S rRNA gene amplification. Coral samples infected with WS were collected from the Sawopudo Waters in Southeast Sulawesi using purposive sampling through snorkeling. The coral life forms sampled included massive, sub-massive, and branching types, collected from approximately three different colonies. Bacterial analysis associated with WS coral disease was conducted in the laboratory, initially with isolation using the spread plate method and purification through quadrant streaking on peptone, yeast, and agar media. Once pure bacterial colonies were obtained, the bacterial isolates associated with WS-infected corals were injected into healthy corals using laboratory-scale Koch's postulates. The results showed 8 (eight) bacterial isolates associated with WS-infected corals (SWS01, SWS02, SWS03, SWS04, SWS05, SWS06, SWS07, and SWS08). Based on Koch's postulates, isolates SWS01 and SWS07 exhibited visual signs of WS disease. Further isolation and purification were only conducted on isolate SWS01. Molecular identification using 16S rRNA gene amplification revealed that isolate SWS01 is closely related to Priestia flexa (99.72% similarity), isolate SWS07 is closely related to Bacillus velezensis (99.68% similarity), and the re-cultured isolate from Koch's postulates is closely related to Alteromonas macleodii (99.64% similarity).Penyakit karang adalah salah satu faktor terpenting penyebab kematian karang dan dapat menurunkan tutupan karang. Penyebab langsung penyakit karang hingga saat ini masih terus dicari oleh para peneliti baik skala nasional maupun internasional. Terdapat hubungan antara karang dengan mikrobia yang membentuk coral holobiont yang dapat bersifat menguntungkan, merugikan, dan netral. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengisolasi, mempurifikasi, dan mengidentifikasi bakteri yang berasosiasi dengan karang terinfeksi white syndrome (WS) secara molekuler dengan amplifikasi gen 16S rRNA. Sampel karang terinfeksi WS diambil di Perairan Sawopudo-Sulawesi Tenggara dengan metode purposive sampling melalui snorkeling. Bentuk pertumbuhan karang yang diambil sebagai sampel adalah massive, sub massive, dan branching yang diambil dari 3 koloni yang berbeda. Analisis bakteri asosiasi karang terinfeksi WS dilakukan di laboratorium dimulai dengan isolasi dengan metode sebar dan purifikasi dengan metode gores kuadran pada media pepton, yeast, dan agar. Setelah diperoleh koloni murni, isolat bakteri yang berasosiasi dengan karang WS diinjeksikan ke karang sehat menggunakan uji Postulat Koch skala laboratorium. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah ditemukannya 8 (delapan) isolat bakteri yang berasosiasi dengan karang terinfeksi WS dengan kode isolat S.WS.01, S.WS.02, S.WS.03, S.WS.04, S.WS.05, S.WS.06, S.WS.07, dan S.WS.08. Uji Postulat Koch tidak berhasil dalam penelitian ini, akan tetapi isolat bakteri S.WS.01 dan S.WS.07 menunjukkan tanda-tanda penyakit WS secara visual pada saat uji Postulat Koch. Setelah dilakukan identifikasi molekuler menggunakan amplifikasi gen 16S rRNA, isolat S.WS.01 berkerabat dekat dengan Priestia flexa (99,72% kemiripan), isolat S.WS.07 berkerabat dekat dengan Bacillus velezensis (99,68% kemiripan), dan untuk isolat hasil kultur kembali dari Postulat Koch berkerabat dekat dengan Alteromonas macleodii (99,64% kemiripan)
