Jurnal Epidemiologi Kesehatan Indonesia

Stunting remains a major public health concern in Malawi, with a national prevalence of 35.5% among children under five. However, evidence on the independent and combined effects of household economic status and birth order on stunting among Malawian children aged 24-35 months remains limited. This study aimed to examine the independent and combined association of household economic status and birth order with stunting among children aged 24-35 months in Malawi. A secondary data analysis of a cross-sectional 2019-20 Malawi Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) was conducted, and the final sample comprised 2,764 children aged 24-35 months with complete data.

Jurnal Epidemiologi Kesehatan Indonesia

Adolescent overweight/obesity is an increasing public health concern and contributes to the risk of non-communicable diseases later in life. Physical activity plays an important role in weight regulation. However, its association with overweight/obesity may vary according to residential setting. This study aimed to examine the association between physical activity and overweight/obesity among adolescents living in rural and urban areas of Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey. The study included 115,372 adolescents aged 10–18 years. Physical activity was classified based on total Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET)-minutes per week (≥600 MET-minutes/week), while nutritional …

Clinical Epidemiology Of Stroke In The Productive Age Population In Indonesia: A Scoping Review, Satria Akbar Putra Asmara, Ulil Albab Habibah

Jurnal Epidemiologi Kesehatan Indonesia

Data from the 2018 Indonesian Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) demonstrates a marked increase in stroke prevalence, rising from 7% in 2013 to 10% in 2018. This upward trend is accompanied by a notable epidemiological shift, with stroke no longer predominantly affecting older adults ≥65 years, but increasingly occurring among the productive-age population (15–64 years). This scoping review was conducted in February 2026 in accordance with the JBI methodological guidelines and PRISMA-ScR. Searches were conducted in Google Scholar, PubMed, Garuda, and ScienceDirect. Inclusion criteria include articles published within the last 10 years (2016–2026), articles discussing the characteristics of stroke patients in …

Jurnal ARSI : Administrasi Rumah Sakit Indonesia

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an acute infectious disease that often requires hospitalization with a variable length of stay (LOS). Several factors have been shown to influence LOS; however, findings from previous studies conducted in different hospitals remain inconsistent. This study aimed to analyze the association between age, gender, platelet count, hematocrit level, and leukocyte count with LOS among patients with DHF at Nahdlatul Ulama Islamic Hospital (RSI NU) Demak. This study employed a cross-sectional design using medical record data from 64 hospitalized patients with DHF admitted between January and May 2025, selected through purposive sampling.

Entrenchment And Expansion: How Political Dynasties Affect Poverty Within And Between Philippine Provinces, Jurel K. Yap

Asia-Pacific Social Science Review

The persistence of poverty in the Philippines is linked in the literature to the prevalence of political dynasties, yet the precise mechanisms of this relationship remain underexplored. This study sought to disentangle two distinct phenomena: the effect of long-term dynastic entrenchment (structural, between-province differences) from that of dynamic dynastic expansion (changes within a province over time). To do so, this paper employed a within-between panel data model on a unique dataset covering 80 provinces from 2004 to 2021, with the Political Concentration Index (Political HHI) as the primary measure of dynastic power. The results showed that while dynastic entrenchment and …

A Case Study Of Sport And Racism In Australia: A Qualitative Document Analysis, Vegneskumar Maniam, Kristy O’Neill

Asia-Pacific Social Science Review

Australia is well known as a ‘sporting nation’ with outstanding elite sporting achievements and grassroots-level sports participation. The reality for Australia’s First Nations people and those from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds, however, tends to differ from the mainstream Australian population. One of the contributing factors being argued within this paper is the prevalence of historical and contemporary racism in Australian sport. This study focuses on four of Australia’s most popular community-participation sports, including Australian Rules Football (ARF), Cricket, Netball, and Swimming. Using a Qualitative Document Analysis method, this research investigates both primary and secondary sources for instances of …

A Tale Of Two Policy Regimes: A Comparative Analysis Of Migrants’ School-To-Work Transition In Hong Kong And Taiwan, Pakorn Phalapong

Asia-Pacific Social Science Review

Foreign professionals have been frequently viewed as a remedy for labor shortages and as catalysts for economic development, prompting many governments—including Hong Kong and Taiwan—to facilitate their immigration for education and employment. Consequently, this study endeavors to identify a general pattern and plausible conditions that underpin the promotion of school-to-work transition policy regimes in a migration context. Using case-based analysis and the Most Different Systems Design (MDSD), secondary data were collected for the analysis. The findings reveal that, despite markedly differing political systems, both jurisdictions adopted a school-to-work policy regime in response to comparable conditions: the demographic changes, the influx …

“The Ai Pushed Me To Consider New Perspectives”: Preliminary Observations On A Chatgpt Intervention Designed To Elicit Critical Thinking About Media Headlines, Karina Luna, Chelsea Julian Reynolds, Ali Zain

Journal of Media Literacy Education Pre-Prints

This study explored whether a custom AI chatbot could be a relevant tool for promoting critical thinking about news bias. The research team discusses the development of a custom critical media literacy chatbot and its implementation in an upper-division critical media studies course at a large North American public university. Students interacted with the chatbot to analyze news headlines about transgender issues, employing a scaffolded framework to dissect media framing and generate alternative frames. We argue that the same AI technologies fueling anxiety can be reimagined as partners in cultivating critical media literacy and guiding future directions in journalism pedagogy. …

Serial Radiographic And Ultrasonographic Evaluation Of Discospondylitis In A Cat: A Case Report Of Progressive Vertebral Lysis Despite Clinical Improvement, Geunah Kim, Jungho Lee, Seulgi Bae, Sang-Kwon Lee, Kija Lee

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

A 10-year-old castrated male Korean Shorthair cat was presented with a 5-day history of lethargy and nonambulatory paraparesis. Neurological examination revealed delayed postural reactions in both pelvic limbs. Initial radiography of the lumbar spine revealed narrowing of the L7–S1 intervertebral disc space with ventral bony proliferation. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed collapse of the L7–S1 intervertebral disc space with heterogeneous T2-weighted hyperintensity and ventral contrast enhancement of the affected disc, as well as contrast enhancement of the adjacent paraspinal musculature. These findings suggested the presence of discospondylitis. Coccoid bacteria detected in both urine and splenic fine-needle aspirate indicated hematogenous spread. The …

Microelement Deficiencies In Perimenopausal Women And Their Impact On Metabolic And Physical Performance: Potential Applications Of Vis–Nir Tissue Spectrophotometry And The So/Check Platform, Izabela Pabin, Damian M. Dudek, Łukasz Jaworski, Ewa Maria Kłodzińska

Baltic Journal of Health and Physical Activity

Background: The perimenopausal period, typically occurring between the ages of 40 and 55 years, represents a critical transitional stage in women’s physiology characterized by profound hormonal, metabolic, and systemic adaptations. While the endocrine aspects of this transition have been extensively investigated, increasing attention has recently been directed toward the role of micronutrient homeostasis in maintaining metabolic health and physical performance during this period. Therefore, the aim of this narrative review is to summarize current knowledge regarding microelement deficiencies in perimenopausal women and their potential impact on metabolic health and physical performance. Additionally, the review discusses the potential applications of VIS–NIR …
