Profiling of Physical Activity Usage In Selected Urban Green Spaces In Marikina City
No full textUrban Green Spaces (UGS) play an important role in providing opportunities for physical activity in urbanized cities. This observational cross-sectional study aims to profile two selected UGS, namely Marikina River Park and Marikina Heights Park Complex, in Marikina City, in the context of their use for physical activity and recreation. Interviews with two government officials were conducted to collect data on the historical background of the selected parks. Systematic observation, using the System for Observation of Play and Recreation in Communities tool, was conducted to observe park visitors and their physical activity for four days in each park. Each park’s target area\u27s characteristics were identified and assessed before the observation period. Findings from the interviews indicate that the selected UGS were established for community and personal development. Each park contained areas suited for general use, rest, and socialization or for specific activities. Observations indicate that most visitors use the UGS for physical activity. A total of 47.91% engaged in moderate activity, 3.74% in vigorous activity, and 48.34% were observed to be sedentary. Various types of activity were recorded, with walking, biking, and dancing being the most common. Walking and biking visitors often used the park as part of their daily route. The majority of park visitors were male (52.55%), while females accounted for 47.45%. Teenagers made up the largest observed age group (49.83%), followed by adults (33.26%), children (13.62%), and older adults (3.30%). These findings indicate that the selected UGS serve their intended purpose, with most visitors engaging in physical activity. Nevertheless, further improvements aimed at specific activities may help attract demographic groups that were less represented. The physical design of the parks and the presence of structured programs could help increase participation among these groups. A built environment and organized activity can be used to encourage physical activity for specific demographics of park visitors
Assessing the Impact of Nigerian Seaports’ Operational Performance on the Construction Sector’s Contribution to GDP
No full textThe construction sector in Nigeria relies heavily on imported materials; however, inefficiencies and frequent delays at the seaports have led to increased costs, significantly affecting the sector’s contribution to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This study examines the relationship between the operational performance of Nigerian seaports and the GDP contribution of the construction sector. Secondary data on GDP and port performance indicators were obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), covering the period from 2011 to 2023. The analysis employed descriptive and inferential statistics methods, including regression and Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). The findings reveal that the key performance indicators such as Cargo Throughput (LnCTHP), Personnel Efficiency (LnP), and Ship Traffic (LnST) significantly and positively influence GDP, with β-values of 0.462, 0.283, and 0.402, respectively (p \u3c 0.05). In contrast, inefficiencies represented by prolonged Turnaround Time (LnTAT) and Waiting Time (LnWT) had negative effects on GDP, with β-values of −0.178 and −0.098, respectively (p \u3c 0.05). Additionally, Gross Registered Tonnage (LnGRT) was found to have a positive influence on GDP (β = 0.213, p = 0.017), highlighting the economic benefit of accommodating larger vessels. The regression model demonstrated strong explanatory power, with an R² of 0.908 and an adjusted R² of 0.882, indicating that the included variables could explain 88.2% of the variance in GDP. These findings are consistent with previous research and highlight the crucial role of port efficiency in driving economic growth. The study recommends focused investments in modern cargo handling technologies, workforce optimization, and infrastructure upgrades to mitigate delays. It also advocates for strategic partnerships with international shipping companies and policy interventions, such as tax incentives for modernization and simplifying customs procedures, to enhance overall efficiency. Future research should further explore the role of port digitalization in facilitating GDP growth. Addressing existing inefficiencies and leveraging operational improvements can support Nigerian seaports in substantially contributing to the construction sector’s GDP, thereby supporting broader sustainable economic development
Participatory Exhibitions as An Awareness-raising Platform for Bird Window Collisions
No full textBird window strikes pose a significant threat to avian populations in urban settings. Understanding public attitudes toward this issue is vital for communicating the problem and possible interventions, such as applying window stickers. Bird Window Strike Philippines, a citizen science initiative, has promoted awareness through online engagement and a public pop-up exhibition designed to leave a lasting impression and gather visitor feedback. The exhibition introduced Filipino audiences to bird-window collisions through educational and participatory elements, including interpretive panels, taxidermied bird specimens, and window models demonstrating prevention techniques. Its central message was: “Bird window strikes are a problem, and we can be part of the solution.” The taxidermied birds were included to foster emotional connection. Visitors participated by voting on preferred preventive measures and answering questions about what would encourage them to adopt these interventions. Comment cards captured their reflections and takeaways. Results showed a clear preference for window stickers and mesh and a desire for affordable and accessible options. Notably, emotional engagement was evident among participants, reflecting the exhibition’s capacity to foster empathy and deeper reflection. Open-ended responses highlighted key themes: human agency in mitigating collisions, the conservation significance of window strikes, the role of citizen science and public awareness, and the underestimated frequency of such events. The exhibition served to raise awareness of this often-overlooked conservation issue. The study supports public exhibitions as effective tools for fostering dialogue and building biodiversity-inclusive urban environments
Barriers to Learning Exposure In Construction 4.0: Perspectives From Built-Environment Students
No full textThe ongoing digital transformation of the construction industry, known as Construction 4.0, requires students in built-environment programs to gain adequate exposure to emerging technologies. Despite this need, many faces significant barriers to meaningful engagement. This study explores the factors limiting students’ learning experiences related to Construction 4.0 in Nigerian universities and polytechnics. Using a stratified random sampling method, 154 students from one university and one polytechnic were surveyed through a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using frequency distribution, relative importance index, and the Mann-Whitney test. Results identify key obstacles such as limited peer collaboration, insufficient funding and resources, and weak infrastructure. There were no statistically significant differences in these barriers between university and polytechnic respondents. The study concludes that addressing the current limitations requires institutional reforms, including infrastructure investment, curriculum development, faculty training, and support for student collaboration, particularly in polytechnic settings
Retrospective Study of Elective Intracranial Tumor Surgery Waiting Time at a National Referral Hospital in Indonesia
No full textElective surgery waiting times are a key measure of healthcare system performance and service quality. Long wait times can lower patients’ quality of life, worsen symptoms, reduce treatment effectiveness, and increase financial stress. We aimed to provide a descriptive analysis of elective surgery waiting time for Intracranial Tumors at Mahar Mardjono National Brain Center Hospital in 2023. This study is a descriptive retrospective cross-sectional study using data from Electronic Health Records (EHR). The study sample included all elective intracranial tumor surgeries performed in 2023. A total of 371 elective intracranial tumor surgeries were analyzed. The median age of patients was 45 years, with the majority being female (64.42%). Most surgeries (44.47%) had a duration of surgery between 3–5 hours with meningioma making up the majority of cases operated (46.63%). The median waiting time for elective intracranial tumor surgery was 44 days, with most patients (72.78%) waiting between 0–3 months. These findings highlight the need for strategies to reduce elective intracranial tumor surgery waiting times. Both short-term and long-term interventions should be implemented, focusing on optimizing resources and expanding surgical capacity. Future studies should examine how these strategies impact patient outcomes and hospital efficiency while identifying potential barriers to their implementation
Perbuatan Melawan Hukum Yang Dilakukan Perseroan Terbatas Terkait Dengan Pemanggilan Rapat Umum Pemegang Saham Luar Biasa (Analisis Putusan-Putusan Pengadilan)
No full textCompliance with the procedure for convening the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (EGMS) plays a crucial role in ensuring the validity of meeting resolutions and protecting shareholders\u27 rights. However, in practice, many companies disregard the legal provisions related to the summons stage, leading to legal disputes, including tort lawsuits. This research discusses three issues: the regulation of unlawful acts under Indonesian civil law, the procedures for holding general meetings of shareholders under Law Number 40 of 2007 concerning Limited Liability Companies, and how judges assess whether disputes over EGMS summons fall under unlawful acts under Article 1365 of the Indonesian Civil Code or merely constitute procedural defects. This research employs a normative juridical method with a descriptive-analytical approach. The results show that an improper EGMS summons does not merely constitute an administrative defect but can be classified as an unlawful act if it fulfills the elements of Article 1365 of the Civil Code. This study concludes that non-compliance with the EGMS summons procedure results in the annulment of meeting resolutions and creates legal liability for the company towards the harmed parties

PUSHING CONSUMERS TO PLANT-BASED MILK ALTERNATIVES: WHAT DRIVES THEM?
No full textManuscript type: Research Article
Research Aims: Describing the extent to which belief factors, supporting reasons, and opposing reasons can shape attitudes, thereby creating an intention to purchase plant-based milk products.
Design/methodology/approach: Using Behavioral Reasoning Theory. Data were collected through quantitative methods from 407 respondents using a questionnaire, targeting those who had consumed plant-based milk. Analyzed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method using SmartPLS 3.0.
Research Findings: The findings indicate that health beliefs, reasons for nutritional content, and supporting the environment significantly influence attitudes positively, while environmental beliefs have a positive but non-significant impact on attitudes. However, environmental support plays a crucial role in ensuring that environmental beliefs positively and significantly impact attitudes. Attitudes also have a strong influence on purchase intentions.
Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This research applies using the Behavioral Reasoning Theory research model which has been adjusted for the research objectives to expand understanding of the factors that can shape attitudes so as to create purchase intentions for plant-based milk products
Practitioner/Policy Implication: consumer beliefs, reasons for choosing, and reasons for not choosing plant-based milk significantly influence the formation of consumer attitudes, which ultimately lead to purchase intentions. Consumer beliefs such as health beliefs and environmental beliefs may not be sufficient to shape attitudes and generate purchase intentions for plant-based milk; factors such as reasons for and against are needed to shape attitudes and thus create purchase intentions.
Research limitation/Implications: respondents had consumed plant-based milk, and the focus of this study was only on plant-based milk consumption
Hubungan Kelayakan Sumber Air Minum Terhadap Kejadian Diare pada Anak Balita di Indonesia: Studi Cross-sectional Berdasarkan Data SDKI 2017
No full textBackground: Diarrhea is one of the leading causes of mortality in toddlers. One of its primary causes is associated with inadequate drinking water sources. However, studies exploring this relationship remain limited, necessitating further research to determine the association between the suitability of drinking water sources and the incidence of diarrhea in children under five in Indonesia. Method: A cross-sectional design was employed, using data on children under five from households included in the 2017 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (SDKI). The study examined the relationship between the incidence of diarrhea and the suitability of drinking water sources. Chi-square statistical tests and binary logistic regression were used for analysis. Results: A total of 14,428 household samples were analyzed, providing information on the suitability of drinking water sources and the incidence of diarrhea within the past two weeks. The study found that unsuitable drinking water sources were associated with a 1.2-fold increased risk of diarrhea (OR: 1.27; CI: 1.11–1.45). Conclusion: Inadequate drinking water sources are positively associated with the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers. Future research should utilize primary data and provide detailed definitions of eligibility categories
Faktor Risiko yang Berhubungan dengan Kematian Pasien Penyakit Ginjal Kronis pada Usia Dewasa yang Menjalani Hemodialisis Reguler di Provinsi Lampung
No full textIntroduction. Although mortality among adult chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on regular hemodialysis remains infrequent within the first three months, it is still a potential outcome. Given that hemodialysis is required for life, identifying risk factors for mortality is critical. This study aims to examine risk factors associated with mortality in adult CKD patients undergoing regular hemodialysis.
Methods. A case-control study, without matching, was conducted using medical record data from adult CKD patients (≥18 years) receiving regular hemodialysis between 2022 and 2024 at three hospitals (types A, B, and C) in Lampung Province. The case group consisted of patients who experienced mortality, while the control group consisted of similar patients who survived. Patients with autoimmune-related CKD were excluded. Subjects were selected using convenience sampling with a 1:2 case-to-control ratio. Risk factors assessed included sociodemographics, dialysis duration, comorbidities, and nutritional status. Logistic regression analysis was performed.
Results. A total of 114 cases and 228 controls were included, with the longest dialysis duration in both groups being 72 months. The oldest patient starting dialysis was 77 years in the case group and 75 years in the control group. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the following factors were associated with increased mortality: history of heart failure (OR = 2.3; 95% CI = 1.2–4.4; p = 0.009), history of post-renal obstruction (OR = 3.5; 95% CI = 1.6–7.6; p = 0.002), random blood glucose ≥140 mg/dL (OR = 2.1; 95% CI = 1.2–3.6; p = 0.011), acute kidney injury (OR = 6.5; 95% CI = 3.8–11.1; p \u3c 0.001), and BMI
Conclusion. History of heart failure, post-renal obstruction, elevated blood glucose, acute kidney injury, and low BMI are significant predictors of mortality in adult CKD patients undergoing regular hemodialysis in Lampung Province
