BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic determined a profound impact on the routine follow-up of type 1 diabetes (T1D) children. Telemedicine represents a critical tool to guarantee regular care for these patients in this form. AIM: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of telemedicine programs during the COVID-19 pandemic era on T1D children. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Studies from PubMed, Cochrane, and Directory of Open Access Journals from December 2021, to February 18, 2022, were conducted to calculate the pooled mean difference using either a random or fixed-effect model in Review Manager version 5.3. Our study has applied to ensure that our procedures, including record collection, extraction of data, quality evaluation, and statistical analysis, adhere to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Examination and Meta-Analysis guidelines. RESULTS: Three articles relevant to the current study (436 children). Our pooled analysis found that there was an impact of telemedicine in reducing the HbA1c (mean diff: 5.64 [95% confidence interval (CI) 3.71–7.57], p < 0.00001). However, the physical activity was not affected by the telemedicine program (mean diff: −37.25 [95% CI −317.53–243.02], p = 0.79). CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that telemedicine has a role in T1D children controlling HbA1c during the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, telehealth has emerged as a promising alternate mode of health-care delivery. Its utility during the pandemic warrants further investigation.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a state of hyperglycemia caused by a variety of factors. Increasing population understanding and awareness of DM will improve community health outcomes. Direct public education and mass media campaigns can significantly raise public awareness of DM and its complications. Until recently, knowledge about DM is still not fully understood, especially in student population. We aimed to measure the extent of knowledge level about DM with pre-test and post-test in Indonesian students. Methods: This interventional non-randomized longitudinal study was held in Alif Laam Miim Islamic Boarding School Surabaya. An intervention was provided by giving education about diabetes mellitus through offline seminars, handbook, and interactive discussion with the experts. Pre- and post-test questionnaires with a close-ended question were given before and after intervention. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS using the wilcoxon test. Result: This study consisted of 95 students with the mean age of 14.94 ± 1.44 years. Around 16.84% of the participants had a family history of DM. After knowledge intervention, there was a significant difference between pre- and post-test score (p = 0.00), with the mean score being 36.90 ± 1.64 and 65.21 ± 1.26 respectively. There were positive changes in almost all answers regarding diabetes general knowledge, diabetes signs and symptoms, and diabetes management in the school (p < 0.05). Conclusion: There was an improvement about diabetes mellitus knowledge in Indonesia’s high school students after giving an educational intervention.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on glycemic control in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) patients is still evolving. This study aims to assess the negative effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on mean glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in patients with T1DM. This meta-analysis study using the PRISMA framework method with the search strategy according to the population, intervention, control, and outcome (PICO) model. Relevant articles were searched in 4 databases. The results identified the HbA1c and mean glucose. The COVID-19 pandemic caused an increase in the HbA1c levels (%) compared to the pre-COVID group with a mean difference of -1.06 (95% CI: -1.44, -0.69; p

MODWT-ARIMA is a time series modeling that combines the MODWT process and the ARIMA process. The MODWT process is used as pre-processing data while the ARIMA process as a time series modeling for data from MODWT decomposition. This study aims to show that time series modeling with a combined MODWT-ARIMA process provides more accurate forecast result compared to the ARIMA model. The modeled data is monthly time period data of BBRI’s stock price started from January 2018 to July 2018. Accuracy measurement of the forecasting result is based on the RMSE value. The result is the MODWT-ARIMA model has a RMSE value which is smaller than the ARIMA model with RMSE Forecasting value using MODWT-ARIMA method for the period January 2018 to July 2018 are, 3687,560, 3571,892, 3287,686, 3072,610, 2832,533, 3147,472, 2964,491. The result of diagnostic checking from ARIMA model for D2, D3, and S3, shows that the residual model is not white noise while of the ARIMA model for the time series of monthly stock prices show thet the residual model is white noise. Theoritically, a model that has no white noise’s residual is considered to be less able to describe the properties of the observed data and further residual modeing should be done. However, this research is sufficient for the ARIMA model and it turns out that it has been able to show that the MODWT-ARIMA model is more effective than the ARIMA model.

During the current COVID-19 pandemic, several hoaxes appeared which worsen today’s circumstance. In this study, the following problem was how the Instagram account @jabarsaberhoaks against the dissemination of hoax information during the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective of the study was to observe the use of social media Instagram based on The Circular Model of Some theory by Regina Luttrell contains of share aspect, optimize, manage, and engage against the dissemination of hoax information during the COVID-19 pandemic by Jabar Saber Hoaks (JSH). The chosen method used in the study was descriptive qualitative method and the data were analyze in a qualitative way. The results showed that the use of Instagram accounts by the JSH team could be said to be quite optimal with reference to the SOME theory stated by Lutrell. The implementation of share aspect by the JSH team provides content in the form of education and verification. As well as creating connection with the followers and the people by conducting a public complaint link. And to build the followers’ trust the JSH team showed a credible information. The application of optimize aspect also quite optimal where the JSH team optimized their Instagram account by using hashtags. In optimizing the relationship with the followers the JSH team also communicate and discuss about pandemic issues with their followers in the comment column. In the manage aspect, the team does media monitoring such as, unlimited hours of Instagram content posts related to the pandemic because those issues are considered sensitive and needs verification. Although in engage aspect, it has not been optimally carried out because the team focuses more on verifying information to the public. Abstrak. Dalam masa pandemi COVID-19 seperti sekarang ini, banyak bermunculan berita-berita palsu (hoaks) yang semakin memperparah suasana. Pada penelitian ini, permasalahan yang diangkat ialah mengenai bagaimana akun Instagram @jabarsaberhoaks melawan penyebaran informasi hoaks selama pandemi COVID-19. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji penggunaan media sosial Instagram berdasarkan teori The Circular Model of Some menurut Regina Luttrell yaitu aspek share, optimize, manage, dan engage dalam melawan penyebaran informasi hoaks selama pandemi COVID-19 oleh Jabar Saber Hoaks (JSH). Metode yang dipilih untuk melakukan penelitian ini ialah metode deskriptif kuantitatif dan data diolah secara kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan akun Instagram oleh tim JSH dapat dikatakan cukup optimal dengan mengacu pada teori SOME yang dinyatakan oleh Lutrell. Penerapan aspek share oleh tim cukup optimal dimana dalam upaya partisipasinya dalam penyebaran informasi tim JSH memberikan konten berupa edukasi dan verifikasi. Tim juga membuat koneksi dengan followers dan masyarakat adalah dengan membuka link pengaduan masyarakat. Dan untuk membangun kepercayaan followers tim JSH menunjukkan informasi yang kredibel. Penerapan aspek optimize juga cukup optimal dimana tim JSH melalui akun Instagramnya mengoptimalisasi media sosial mereka menggunakan hashtag. Untuk mengoptimalkan hubungan dengan followers tim JSH juga melakukan komunikasi dan diskusi terkait isu-isu pandemi menggunakan akun pribadi dari masing-masing individu dalam tim serta terlibat percakapan bersama followers dalam kolom komentar. Dalam aspek manage, tim melakukan media monitoring tidak membatasi waktu dalam mem-posting konten di Instagram terkait pandemi karena isu tersebut sensitif dan perlu segera diverifikasi. Akan tetapi, dalam aspek engage belum terlalu optimal dilakukan karena tim lebih berfokus pada verifikasi informasi kepada masyarakat.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by abnormal elevated blood glucose levels resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. The prevalence of DM in children and adolescents is increasing worldwide. Until recently, early detection of DM was still not widely done in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aimed to measure BMI and random plasma glucose in Indonesian students. Methods: This descriptive study involving 8th and 9th grade students at Alif Laam Miim Islamic Boarding School Surabaya aged 13 – 18 years old. Height and weight were measured using standard anthropometry. Capillary blood samples were taken on the index or middle finger of the student using a single-use lancet. Statistical analysis was conducted with SPSS using the T-test, Mann-Whitney, and Chi square test. Results: This study included 95 subjects with the mean age of 14.65 ± 1.83 years old. There is no significant difference of BMI (p = 0.63) and random plasma glucose (p = 0.09) between males and females. The distribution of BMI for underweight, healthy weight, overweight, and obesity were 6.32%; 64.21%; 14.74%; 14.74% respectively. None of them had a high range of random plasma glucose. Conclusion: Indonesian students in Surabaya had a healthy weight and a normal range of plasma glucose.

Introduction: Ventilator is used as one of the most frequent life-supportive technology in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). There are only few studies from Asian Countries, especially Indonesia regarding the use of ventilator in PICU. The aim of this study was to describe the demographic, indications, length of use, complication, and outcome of patients with ventilator in PICU Dr.Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya.Methods: This is a descriptive study. Collecting data was done retrospectively using medical records of patients using ventilator in PICU Dr. Soetomo General Hospital from January-December 2017 . Statistical analysed was performed using Microsoft Excel 2016.Results: 59 patients met the inclusion criteria. Of the 59 patients, 34 (57.63%) were female and 27 (45.76%) were infant (1-12 months). Common indication of ventilator were status epilepticus and shock that happened in 17 (28.81%) patients. 44 (74.58%) patient was using ventilator >48 hours. There are only 4 (6.78%) of 59 patients that happened to had Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) as a complication of using ventilator. Mortality occurred in 40 (67.80%) patients and mostly happened in female (60%) and infant (50%). Mortality occurred in 10 (90%) of 11 patients with cardiac failure as the indication of ventilator and in 11 (73.33%) patients who used ventilator ≤48 hours.Conclusion: Status epilepticus and shock was the most common reason for ventilation. Incidence of VAP as the complication of ventilator is relatively low. Relatively high mortality found in age group infants, patients with cardiac failure as indication of ventilator and in patient with short duration use of ventilator.

Cluster has an important role in developing the existing resources in an area to be economic value. Companies gain competitive advantage through competing with each other. However, there is now an increased awareness that to ensure survival, it is necessary to balance industrial advocacy and personal interests. Thus, cluster operations are characterized by competition and cooperation, where the role of quadruple helix plays a role in it. SME clusters occur in every country, considering that SMEs are an important element in the economy of the country. Most SMEs in developing countries are located in industrial clusters. Despite the limitations in organizational resources and capacity, the grouping of companies in geographic proximity is capable of improving the performance of the companies within them. Therefore, cluster formation becomes the main attraction for deeper examination, how clusters are formed and how the process and role of elements in it. This study involves two different case studies of the chips and milk dairy clusters, both located in Cimahi, West Java. West Java is one of the provinces that have potential in the development of food and beverage clusters. This research uses qualitative data approach and supported by literature data support. From the analysis result, both clusters have different cluster forming approach, where the formation of clusters of chips, formed spreads and dairy cluster vertically.

Low access to credit in the agricultural sector is also caused by problems of agricultural sector actors (especially farmers) and financial institutions. Farmers are still having difficulty in accessing credit (accessibility and unbankable) and the limited financial institutions that channel credit to the agricultural sector. Therefore, the government must issue a policy in growing the agricultural sector, especially in anticipation of access credit constraints by farmers. The agricultural sector as a high-risk business, therefore formal institutions are less interested in financing the agricultural sector on the grounds of high transaction costs, asymmetric information, low profits, lack of collateral, education of farmers is relatively low. In addition, most banks do not want to finance agriculture due to fluctuating production and uncontrolled price risk. While the constraints of the farmers in obtaining formal credit is a complex procedure, there should be collateral as well as high payment delay fees, long distances and less information about capital.

Balsa wood (Ochroma pyramidalei) are widely available in Indonesian market especially in the creative industry. Balsa wood was preferred due to its excellent strength to weight ratio in-line with workability and the simplicity of its color and texture. Balsa composite has increased the economic value of balsa wood and widen its use from merely lightweights and non-structural objects to some efficient super-structures. The development of balsa composite into curved structure add another level of design sophistication and widen the variation of its use. Application of this material in a shell structure allowed the structure to have more strength to weight excellence, since the shell structure itself had already had excellent depth to span ratio. The added value of the application in Indonesia is expected to add significant contribution in national agroforestry and construction sector. However, introducing the material into construction industry required further examination, especially related to the stability of supplies (forestry management), manufacture readiness, and human resources. This paper showed a theoretical and statistical feasibility study of manufacture-scale business establishment in Indonesia. Keywords: balsa, engineered wood, manufacture, composite, feasibility study.

This paper tries to conceive a conceptual framework for analysing cluster effect on firm's innovation capability and firm's business performance. This paper is written as part of the research on information and communication technology (ICT) innovation cluster in West Java, Indonesia. Analysis on the firm's innovation capability including its factors will be elaborated and followed by the discussion on firm's business performance. The relationship of firm's innovation capability and business performance will be discussed while considering the effect of clusters in terms of cluster's effect as a value chain cluster, as a coopetition cluster and as a resource-shared cluster. Cluster is hypothesized to have moderating effect on the relationship between firm's innovation capability and business performance.Conceptual framework from this paper will be used at preliminary stage of the research on ICT innovation cluster that can be expected to contribute into the development of ICT cluster in West Java in particular and Indonesia in general.
