Introduction. Anaemia and thrombocytopenia are blood-related irregularities linked to an increased likelihood of disease progression, leading to death in people living with human immunodeficiency virus 1 (PLHIV).
Gap statement. Severe clinical conditions associated with human immunodeficiency 1 (HIV-1) infection may be related to blood irregularities among PLHIV.
Aim. The study aimed to examine the factors correlated with blood irregularities among PLHIV receiving antiretroviral treatment in West Papua.
Methodology. We conducted a study at hospitals in West Papua involving 80 participants who received antiretroviral therapy (ART) and agreed to provide informed consent. Standardized and validated questionnaires were used for data collection. Sequential assessment of haematological and immunological parameters was performed using Sysmex haematology and PIMA CD4+ analyser. Fisher’s exact test and logistic regression analysis were applied, with a significance level set at P <0.05, to identify the key factors positively associated with blood irregularities.
Results. The overall incidences of anaemia and thrombocytopenia were 56.3 and 40%, respectively. Fisher’s exact test indicated that anaemia [adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 3.02; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.160–7.866; P <0.05] and low CD4+ T-cell count (AOR: 3.81; 95 % CI: 1.485–9.820, P <0.05) were significantly associated with thrombocytopenia. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the most influential factor contributing to thrombocytopenia-related blood irregularities was the clinical CD4+ T-cell count ( B =3.818; 95% CI: 1.485–9.820, P <0.05).
Conclusion. CD4+ T-cell count was indicated as the main factor causing thrombocytopenia among PLHIV receiving ART in West Papua. It is crucial to conduct screening and regular haematological assessments among PLHIV having low CD4+ T-cell counts to mitigate morbidity and mortality risks.

This pre-post intervention study aims to evaluate the impact of digital training and mentoring on early childhood education (ECE) teachers' knowledge and practices related to nutrition and health. The sample consisted of 963 teachers with a minimum of two years of experience. Teachers participated in two days of digital training program, while mentors underwent three days of training and received monthly technical guidance through digital sessions. They mentored teachers before the implementation phase and conducted monitoring sessions twice a month during four months of implementation. A paired-sample t-test revealed a significant increase in teachers' scores, from 61 to 71 (p = 0.019), exceeding the minimum standard (score ≥70). The proportion of ECE teachers with scores according to minimum standards (≥70) before intervention was 39% and significantly increased to 57%. The digital training with mentoring significantly increased the ECE teachers’ knowledge and practices of nutrition and health. All competency items also significantly increased. All teachers implemented the nutrition programs, provided health services, and created a healthy school environment in ECE centers. They submit anthropometric data and tuberculosis incidence reports every month. We recommend the future research design training material based on the teacher assessment, focusing on topics that teachers have not yet mastered. Additionally, research questions should be designed to explore the underlying reasons for observed outcomes.

Masking or encapsulating spirulina has been widely used to overcome unpleasant flavours and aromas. Masking procedures, including rehydration, mixing, and heating, might impact the characteristic of spirulina powder. This study aimed to identify the relationship between variables spirulina masking using maltodextrin and develop the model to optimize the response. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was employed to evaluate optimum conditions for spirulina masking. The masking variables, such as heating temperature, heating period, concentration of maltodextrin and ratio of maltodextrin and spirulina, were studied extensively. Masking process was evaluated based on colour changes (ΔE), moisture, and crude phycocyanin content (CPC) responses. The results showed a moderate positive relationship between the masking variables, with a coefficient of determination (R²) value between 0.3-0.7. The response analysis showed a non-significant lack of fit (p>0.05), indicating that the data response will match with the optimized prediction model. The optimized conditions of spirulina masking were determined in low-temperature heating at 33°C for 60 min, with 7 g/L maltodextrin concentration and a 1:1 ratio of spirulina and maltodextrin (m/v). The optimized masking process condition could reach responses, moisture of 7.23 %, ΔE of 1.68, and CPC of 6.71 mg/g, respectively.
The decline in forest benefits recognition caused local wisdom on agroforestry technology to fade, threatening the Manggarai people’s identity as a community living harmoniously with forests. The loss of the agroforestry lexicon jeopardizes not only linguistic diversity but also the traditional ecological knowledge embedded within it. Without revitalization, sustainable agroforestry practices balancing agriculture and forest conservation may vanish, further endangering the local environment. This research identifies the agroforestry lexicon of the Manggarai people, using their communication as the data source. Employing ethnographic methods, data were collected through observation, interviews, and elicitation with the Ruteng Pu’u community. Participatory observation of their farming life, in‑depth interviews, and targeted elicitation yielded 253 agroforestry‑related lexicons absent from the Indonesian language. These lexicons fall into three categories: (1) nouns for agroforestry plants, (2) nouns for agroforestry tools, and (3) verbs for agroforestry stages. The findings reveal that agroforestry lexicons are an integral, albeit archaic, part of the Manggarai language. This study contributes to environmental conservation by documenting lexicons essential for sustainable farming and forest management practices.
Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) is a digital environment specifically designed for collaborative learning services. Computing metrics are used to measure the computational effectiveness of learning services at CSCL. User attributes, learning domains, group attributes, and learning service technologies are among the current computational metrics. Computing learning services' effectiveness can be evaluated using only one metric. Systemic learning service computing based on these four groups of metrics has received minimal discussion. The next problem is the lack of explanation of learning and service analysis methods for these metrics. There are difficulties in measuring and analyzing the effectiveness of computing learning services at CSCL. Research problem question “how is an effective a learning service computing model in CSCL”. Developing a learning service computing model in CSCL is the objective of this research. Service computing models and evaluation methods are included in the outputs to assess the effectiveness of learning services at CSCL. This research applies Design Research Methodology (DRM) and a model development strategy based on the dynamic system modeling process. This research applies a CSCL environment with the name “smart learning environment”. Model testing results demonstrate the effectiveness of computing learning services on CSCL.
