Background During health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, shortages of health care workers often occur. Recruiting students as volunteers could be an option, but it is uncertain whether the idea is well-accepted. Objective This study aims to estimate the global rate of willingness to volunteer among medical and health students in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods A systematic search was conducted on PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Google Scholar for studies reporting the number of health students willing to volunteer during COVID-19 from 2019 to November 17, 2023. The meta-analysis was performed using a restricted maximum-likelihood model with logit transformation. Results A total of 21 studies involving 26,056 health students were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled estimate of the willingness-to-volunteer rate among health students across multiple countries was 66.13%, with an I2 of 98.99% and P value of heterogeneity (P-Het)<.001. Removing a study with the highest influence led to the rate being 64.34%. Our stratified analyses indicated that those with older age, being first-year students, and being female were more willing to volunteer (P<.001). From highest to lowest, the rates were 77.38%, 77.03%, 65.48%, 64.11%, 62.71%, and 55.23% in Africa, Western Europe, East and Southeast Asia, Middle East, and Eastern Europe, respectively. Because of the high heterogeneity, the evidence from this study has moderate strength. Conclusions The majority of students are willing to volunteer during COVID-19, suggesting that volunteer recruitment is well-accepted.

Crowdfunding campaign narratives function as signalling tools for social entrepreneurs, conveying organisational values to potential backers. In this study, we analyse 18,420 campaigns from 128 countries on the Islamic donation-based crowdfunding platform, Launchgood (2013–2020) through signalling theory. Our findings show that rhetoric emphasising altruistic, stakeholder and market orientations significantly influences Islamic crowdfunding success. These effects vary based on a country’s level of economic freedom, being more pronounced in nations with better government integrity, financial freedom and judicial effectiveness and diminished in those with higher government intervention. These insights guide entrepreneurs in strategically promoting projects through effective signalling rhetoric.

Background The social disapproval or stigma surrounding mental illness contributes to the postponement of individuals seeking assistance and frequently undermines therapeutic alliances between mental illness sufferers and health care professionals. Aims This study explored perceptions and attitudes towards individuals with mental illness among college healthcare students in Indonesia. Methods This study used a qualitative method. Twenty five students enrolled in six healthcare programs were interviewed using a semi structured format. The data analysis adopted a thematic analysis. Results Our thematic analysis generated four main themes: (1) general perceptions of mental health and mental illness; (2) knowledge about mental illness; (3) mental health stigma; and (4) mental health stigma campaigns. Conclusions The participants exhibited positive perceptions of mentally ill people. Students understood mental health, and they exhibited positive attitudes toward mentally ill people. Some students have stigma and lack of confidence to assist those who have mental illness. Further efforts are required to acquaint students with mental health issues and facilitate their interaction with mentally ill individuals. Anti-stigma campaigns are required to combat the pervasive stigmatization of individuals with mental illness. It is recommended to conduct a more extensive study about the stigma that students encounter in relation to mentally ill individuals.

Healthcare visits were reduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, causing disturbances in sustainable MAFLD monitoring. Telemedicine acts to maintain connectivity between patients and healthcare professionals. This review aimed to assess the role of telemedicine in monitoring MAFLD during the pandemic. Databases searched included l PubMed Central and ScienceDirect from 2020 to 2023. Assessment with The Cochrane Risk of Bias for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and the Newcastle-Ottawa scale for non-RCTs systematic reviews. Meta-analyses employing a random-effect model were performed to determine the pooled mean difference (MD) and p-value. The results showed three RCT and two non-RCT (n = 239) with 56.9% males and a mean age of 51.3 years. The median intervention duration was 5.5 months. The parameters assessed included body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, liver function (AST/ALT), lipid profile, HbA1c, and others. Meta-analysis revealed that telemedicine had a significant effect on improving outcomes for BW (MD −2.81: 95% CI, −4.11, −1.51, p < 0.0001) and BMI (MD −1.01: 95% CI, −1.47, −0.55, p < 0.0001) compared to standard care, while the AST/ALT levels were not significantly reduced. Some biochemical markers decreased based on the systematic reviews. In conclusion, telemedicine using mobile-based applications could be an option for monitoring lifestyle modification in MAFLD patients facing the COVID-19 pandemic.

This research produces dialdehyde cellulose from Cellulose of sugarcane waste leaves (STL) and then combined it with chitosan to make a hydrogel biocomposite for drug delivery matrices. Cellulose from STL produced by delignification of STL using two different methods namely autoclave-alkali and microwave/autoclave-alkali which produced α-cellulose ranging from 43 to 66%. The hydrogel was prepared with dialdehyde cellulose and chitosan ration (3:1 w/w) and crosslinked with Sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP). The functional groups of dialdehyde cellulose and hydrogel were analyzed using FTIR, and the surface morphology and thermal stability of hydrogel were measured by SEM and TGA respectively. The Swelling capacity of the hydrogel showed that the hydrogel sample had swelling values ranging from 120 to 450%. The results of hydrogel activity as a drug delivery matrice showed that the drug loading around 21 mg/g with encapsulation efficiency 55.23% in HCL and 70.63% in PBS medium. The hydrogel showed a drug release range of 8.24–58.79% on PBS medium pH 7.4 and 0.1 M HCl medium in the range of 7.32–90.57% after 5 h of drug release. Graphical Abstract

The properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials have been extensively studied and applied in various applications. Our interest is to theoretically investigate the thermal transport and thermoelectric properties of the 2D transition metal dichalcogenides Mo X 2 ( X = S, Se, Te). We employ density functional theory and Boltzmann transport theory with relaxation-time approximation to calculate the electronic and transport properties. We also implemented the kinetic collective model to improve the calculation of lattice thermal conductivity. Our calculations indicate that MoTe 2 has the highest ZT of 2.77 among the other Mo X 2 at 550 K due to its low thermal conductivity and high electrical conductivity. Consequently, we suggest that Mo X 2 monolayers hold promise as materials for energy conversion devices due to their relatively high ZT. Moreover, these results could be beneficial to design 2D material based high performance thermoelectric devices.

Introduction Stunting is a significant and growing global problem that is resisting scientific attempts to understand it in terms of direct nutrition-related determinants. In recent years, research included more complex, indirect and multifactorial determinants and expanded to include multisectoral and lifestyle-related approaches. The United Kingdom Research Initiative Global Challenges Research Fund's (UKRI GCRF) Action Against Stunting Hub starts on the premise that dominant factors of stunting may vary between contexts and life phases of the child. Thus, the construction of a typology of clustered factors will be more useful to design effective programmes to alleviate it.The Shared Values theme seeks to build a bottom-up holistic picture of interlinked cultural contextual factors that might contribute to child stunting locally, by first eliciting shared values of the groups closest to the problem and then enquiring about details of their relevant daily activities and practices, to reveal links between the two. We define shared values as what groups consider ‘valuable, worthwhile and meaningful’ to them. Methods and analysis We will recruit 12–25 local stakeholder groups in each site (in India, Indonesia and Senegal) involved in children’s food and early learning environments, such as mothers, fathers, grandmothers, teachers, market vendors and health workers. The WeValue InSitu process will be used to assist them to collectively elicit, negotiate and self-articulate their own shared values through exploration of shared tacit knowledge. Focus group discussions held immediately subsequently will ask about daily activities relevant to the children’s environment. These contain many examples of cultural contextual factors potentially influencing stunting locally, and intrinsically linked to shared values articulated in the previous session.

As an adsorbent material, Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) provides several advantages, such as large surface area and pore volume, as well as stability in aqueous systems both in acidic, basic, and neutral conditions. The research successfully made a metal organic framework (MOF) from chromium and perylene that was modulated by isonicotinic acid. This was done using three different methods: hydrothermal (Cr-PTC-HIna-HT), solvothermal (Cr-PTC-HIna-ST), and sonochemical (Cr-PTC-HIna-SC). The Cr-PTC-HIna-SC showed the greatest Pb2+ ion adsorption capacity. The optimum adsorption of Pb2+ ions occurred at 150 ppm Pb2+ ion concentration, pH 5, 90 minutes of contact time, and an adsorption capacity of 149.95 mg/g at 35 °C. The dominant adsorption isotherm model is the Langmuir isotherm model with R2 = 0.9867 and follows the pseudo-second-order. The selectivity test showed that Cr-PTC-HIna-SC MOF could adsorb more Cd2+ ions than Pb2+ ions, with 250 mg/g being the best amount.

Aim/Purpose: This research investigated the determinant factors influencing the adoption intentions of Chatsicum, a Knowledge-Based Chatbot (KBC) aimed at enhancing the species literacy of biodiversity students. Background: This research was conducted to bridge the gap between technology, education, and biodiversity conservation. Innovative solutions are needed to empower individuals with knowledge, particularly species knowledge, in preserving the natural world. Methodology: The study employed a quantitative approach using the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and sampled 145 university students as respondents. The research model combined the Task-Technology Fit (TTF) framework with elements from the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI), including relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, and observability. Also, the model introduced perceived trust as an independent variable. The primary dependent variable under examination was the intention to use the KBC. Contribution: The findings of this research contribute to a deeper understanding of the critical factors affecting the adoption of the KBC in biodiversity education and outreach, as studies in this context are limited. This study provides valuable insights for developers, educators, and policymakers interested in promoting species literacy and leveraging innovative technologies by analyzing the interplay of TTF and DOI constructs alongside perceived trust. Ultimately, this research aims to foster more effective and accessible biodiversity education strategies. Findings: TTF influenced all DOI variables, such as relative advantage, compatibility, observability, and trust positively and complexity negatively. In conclusion, TTF strongly affected usage intention indirectly. However, relative advantage, complexity, and observability insignificantly influenced the intention to use. Meanwhile, compatibility and trust strongly affected the use intention. Recommendations for Practitioners: Developers should prioritize building and maintaining chatbots that are aligned with the tasks, needs, and goals of the target users, as well as establishing trust through the assurance of information accuracy. Educators could develop tailored educational interventions that resonate with the values and preferences of diverse learners and are aligned closely with students’ learning needs, preferences, and curriculum while ensuring seamless integration with the existing educational context. Conservation organizations and policymakers could also utilize the findings of this study to enhance their outreach strategies, as the KBC is intended for students and biodiversity laypeople. Recommendation for Researchers: Researchers should explore the nuances of relationships between TTF and DOI, as well as trust, and consider the potential influence of mediating and moderating variables to advance the field of technology adoption in educational contexts. Researchers could also explore why relative advantage, complexity, and observability did not significantly impact the usage intention and whether specific user segments or contextual factors influence these relationships. Impact on Society: This research has significant societal impacts by improving species literacy, advancing technology in education, and promoting conservation efforts. Species knowledge could raise awareness regarding biodiversity and the importance of conservation, thereby leading to more informed and responsible citizens. Future Research: Future works should address the challenges and opportunities presented by KBCs in the context of species literacy enhancement, for example, interventions or experiments to influence the non-significant factors. Furthermore, longitudinal studies should investigate whether user behavior evolves. Ultimately, examining the correlation between species literacy, specifically when augmented by chatbots, and tangible conservation practices is an imperative domain in the future. It may entail evaluating the extent to which enhanced knowledge leads to concrete measures promoting biodiversity preservation.

This study explores the application of tipless microcantilever sensors in a portable particle detection system. The system incorporates a multi-instrument test and measurement device, a single-board computer, and a Python-based GUI for circuit communication. The performance of the system is evaluated by examining the resonance shift and analyzing the Q-factor under humidity variations.The experimental results indicate that the system exhibits stable responses under both closed and open system configurations. In open configuration, the cantilever sensor was directly exposed to the humidifier in different concentration levels. In contrary, close configuration lets the vapor particles randomly attached to the cantilever beam in a chamber. Here, the humidity of the chamber was measured using a relative humidity meter. The phase difference during resonance frequency shows a standard deviation of 1.912° for the closed system and 4.30° for the open system. The study confirms that the tipless type microcantilever sensor exhibits a high Q-factor value. In a closed system, the average Q-factor is 248.67, whereas in an open system, it reaches 251,812. The analysis of the Q-factor also indicates remarkable stability with minimal damping.This research provides evidence that utilizing a tipless type microcantilever sensor in a particle detection system yields a stable response and a high Q-factor value. This highlights the sensor’s potential for applications in portable particle detection.

Penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa pembudayaan nilai-nilai PAI bisa diterapkan secara masif di sekolah yang dikelola oleh yayasan non muslim. Selaras dengan gagasan Koentjoroningrat dalam tataran pembudayaan yang meliputi tiga unsur yaitu, wujud ideal (nilai), wujud kelakuan (praktik), dan wujud fisik dari Kebudayaan (simbol). Secara tidak langsung, penelitian ini mendukung gagasan RK Mukerje yang menyatakan bahwa nilai-nilai merupakan keinginan dan tujuan yang disetujui secara sosial yang dibudayakan melalui proses pengkondisian, pembelajaran atau sosialisasi dan yang menjadi preferensi, standar, dan aspirasi subjektif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai-nilai PAI yang ditemukan di SMA Cinta Kasih Tzu Chi selaras dengan nilai yang menjadi penekanan dalam kurikulum 2013 yang mencakup 18 karakter antara lain: religius, jujur, toleran, disiplin, bekerja keras, kreatif berfikir, mandiri, demokratis, rasa ingin tahu, semangat kebangsaan, cinta tanah air, menghargai prestasi, komunikatif, cinta damai, gemar membaca, peduli lingkungan, peduli sosial, dan bertanggung jawab. Keseluruhan nilai tersebut menjadi bagian dari empat nilai yang menjadi landasan pendidikan Tzu Chi yakni, cinta kasih ( Ci ), welas asih ( Bei ), suka cita ( Xi ), dan keseimbangan batin ( She ). Walaupun muslim minoritas serta pelaksana pendidikan adalah Yayasan Buddha, tidak ada penolakan nilai agama dari agama yang berbeda. Metode dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologis, sementara jenis penelitian menggunakan penelitian studi kasus. Adapun sumber data primer dalam penelitian diperoleh dari hasil observasi, dokumentasi, dan wawancara kepada direktur, kepala sekolah, guru agama, serta siswa yang beragama Islam. Sedangkan data sekunder diperoleh dari file maupun soft file serta beberapa bahan pustaka yang masih memiliki hubungan dengan pembudayaan nilai-nilai PAI di Sekolah Cinta Kasih Tzu Chi.

Previous research, on the representation of women in the Indonesian parliament in the 2019 General Election, identifies two common strategies used by women legislative candidates to win. One is to draw on women's networks to mobilize support and the other is to rely on the dynastic power. This paper contributes to existing studies by exploring the vital role of women NGOs in supplying and preparing women's legislative candidates through a case study of the West Sumatra Provincial Parliament in the 2019 General Election. Qualitative research methods were used for this research, drawing on in-depth interviews with women legislative candidates of West Sumatra Provincial Parliament and women activists. This paper reveals that the rise of women candidates in West Sumatra was “prepared” (dikader) by women's NGOs, namely Koalisi Perempuan Indonesia of West Sumatra and Wanita Islam of West Sumatra. These women NGOs have played an important role in getting women elected by providing political training, consultation, moral support, and access to women's networks. Women NGOs' support for these women candidates arose from their long-term socio-political relationship. This research has also revealed that the women candidates exercised a great deal of agency in reaching the voters through these women's NGOs and networks.
