Pansitopenia: Challenges Of Approach And Case Handling In Peripheral Hospitals

Pancytopenia is a hematological condition characterized by a decrease in three blood cell lines: erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets. This condition is not an independent disease, but a manifestation of various underlying diseases. Pancytopenia can be caused by impaired blood cell production in the bone marrow or increased destruction of blood cells in the periphery. Precise and prompt identification of the etiology is essential, given that pancytopenia can be life-threatening if not treated properly. This study aims to analyze and identify the causes of pancytopenia in patients at Batang Regency Hospital, as well as provide recommendations for appropriate treatment based on the etiology found. The methods used were clinical observation, laboratory examination, and diagnostic imaging in a 58-year-old patient with the main complaint of weakness and a history of pancytopenia. The examination includes a complete blood count, a smear of peripheral blood, and a clinical evaluation. The results showed that the patient had central type pancytopenia, with a suspected etiology of aplastic anemia or myelodysplastic syndrome. Other differential diagnoses include vitamin B12 deficiency. Although a bone marrow biopsy is necessary to confirm the diagnosis, initial therapy with blood transfusions and nutritional improvements has shown an improvement in the patient's condition. The conclusion of this study is the importance of a thorough evaluation to identify the etiology of pancytopenia. Proper treatment should be based on the underlying cause, which will affect the prognosis and prevent recurrence. A comprehensive approach can improve patients' quality of life and reduce the risk of complications

Bridging Cultures: Integrating Game-based Learning based on Local Wisdom in ELT

The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesia aims to cultivate students who embody the values of Pancasila. However, achieving the profile of Pancasila learners has been challenging due to less meaningful learning experiences that do not cater to diverse student needs. This study explores the potential of Game-Based Learning (GBL) integrated with local wisdom to address these challenges in Batang Regency's high schools and vocational schools. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected from 25 teachers through questionnaires, interviews, and observations. The findings reveal that GBL activities, such as traditional game adaptations, folktale integration, cultural role-playing, and local-themed vocabulary and grammar games, significantly enhance student engagement, motivation, and cultural awareness. These activities not only make learning more enjoyable and relevant but also foster the values of Pancasila, promote local culture, and support Batang tourism. The study reveals the importance of providing adequate resources and training for teachers to overcome implementation challenges and suggests future research to explore the long-term impacts and scalability of GBL. By integrating local wisdom into GBL, educators can create a dynamic and inclusive learning environment that aligns with the Merdeka Curriculum's goals and enriches the educational experience in Indonesia.

Analysis of Risk Factors and Predictors of Success in Controlling Drop Out Pulmonary Tuberculosis: An Observational Study in Batang Regency, Indonesia

Introduction: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health problem in Batang Regency, Indonesia. The high drop out (DO) rate of treatment is one of the main obstacles in controlling TB. This study aims to identify risk factors and predictors of DO for pulmonary TB treatment in Batang Regency. Methods: An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted in 2023 involving 150 pulmonary TB patients who were recorded as having DO in the 2021-2022 period. Primary data was collected through interviews and secondary data from medical records. Bivariate analysis using the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, and multivariate analysis using logistic regression were performed to identify risk factors and predictors of DO. Results: Bivariate analysis showed that young age (<25 years) (OR = 3.21; 95% CI: 1.54-6.69), long distance of residence from health facilities (OR = 4.12; 95% CI: 1.98-8.57), and a history of adverse drug reactions (ESO) (OR = 5.63; 95% CI: 2.65-11.94) were significant risk factors for DO. Multivariate analysis confirmed that young age (aOR = 2.95; 95% CI: 1.35-6.43), long distance of residence (aOR = 3.88; 95% CI: 1.79-8.41), and history of ESO (aOR = 5.12; 95% CI: 2.38-11.01) were independent predictors of DO. Conclusion: Young age, long distance of residence from health facilities, and history of ESO are risk factors and independent predictors of DO for pulmonary TB treatment in Batang Regency. Interventions that target these factors, such as intensive education and counseling for young patients, increased access to health services, and optimal management of ESO, are needed to increase the success of TB control.

Identification of Shallow Groundwater Facies and Flow Patterns in Batang Regency, Central Java, Indonesia

Abstract Population growth as a result of a subsequent increase in the economic center and industrial complex construction has also proven to influence the shallow groundwater occurrence in Batang Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. The region per se, had a minimum amount of observation and literature, especially regarding the issue namely groundwater flow pattern and facies distribution. This research discussed hydrogeological assessment through systematic mapping to investigate shallow groundwater occurrence, including 90 observation & measurement points consisting of 89 dug well and one water spring. Based on purposive random sampling with upstream-downstream consideration, 73 of 90 samples were analyzed in the laboratory to determine groundwater hydrochemistry. The results indicated that the shallow groundwater pattern in Batang Regency generally flows from south to north with a dominant southwest-northeast pattern. Based on the trilinear piper diagram, shallow groundwater facies in the study area are characterized by calcium bicarbonate, alkaline chloride, alkaline bicarbonate, and mixed types. The distribution of calcium bicarbonate facies is widely spread in the southern part of the study area. In contrast, alkaline bicarbonate is mainly found between the coastline and hilly in the south. On the other hand, alkaline chloride is distributed evenly along the coastal area. Intermixing of different groundwater facies is expected due to its positive correlation between TDI and major ions plot in the composition diagram.

Shoreline morphological change prognostic model based on spatiotemporal framework imagery data on the northern coast of Java, Indonesia

This study focuses on identifying the degree of shoreline changes on the north coast of Java Island (Indonesia), particularly the Batang Regency segment, using multiple data sources: Landsat 9 and 8, Landsat 5 TM, and PlanetScope spanning from 2000 to 2023. The degree of change was obtained by statistically calculating net shoreline movement (NSM), linear regression rate (LRR), and end-point rate (EPR) using the digital shoreline analysis system (DSAS) software. The three rate-of-change statistics were used to calculate the multidecadal shoreline change prediction or projection for the next 10 and 20 years using a Kalman filter-based model with a simple data assimilation technique. Based on these results, NSM indicated that the shoreline experienced a total accretion and erosion of 361.04 and 111.58 m, respectively, from 2000 to 2023. Over these years, the highest accretion rate reached 16.44 m/year (according to LRR) or 15.83 m/year (EPR), while the maximum erosion rate was up to 11.34 m/year (LRR) or 9.43 m/year (EPR). The use of two data sources with different spatial resolutions produces varying statistical values, which depend on the degree of detail and complexity of the data derived from the source imagery. The coastline prognosis model produced with the Kalman filter shows that the entire coastline in Batang Regency will most likely experience an average accretion and erosion of 18.03 and 21.42 m, respectively, in 10 years, while that in the next 20 years will be 26.38 and 33.3 m, respectively.

Analysis of Risk Factors for Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in Children: An Observational Study in Batang Regency, Indonesia

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a significant public health problem in Indonesia, including in Batang Regency. This study aims to analyze the risk factors associated with the incidence of dengue fever in children in Batang Regency, Indonesia. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 258 child subjects in Batang Regency. Data was collected through structured interviews with parents or guardians, direct observation of the home environment, and laboratory tests to confirm the diagnosis of dengue fever. Data analysis included univariate, bivariate (Chi-square test), and multivariate (logistic regression) analyses to identify independent risk factors. Univariate analysis showed a relationship between the incidence of dengue fever and age, gender, parental education, parental occupation, residential density, presence of mosquito larvae in water reservoirs, habit of hanging clothes, history of mosquito bites, and nutritional status. Bivariate analysis identified several statistically significant risk factors, including high residential density (OR=2.87; 95% CI: 1.65-5.01), presence of mosquito larvae (OR=3.21; 95% CI: 1.89-5.45), habit of hanging clothes (OR=2.87; 95%CI:1.32-5.21), and history of mosquito bites (OR=2.54; 95%CI: 1.48 -4.36). Multivariate analysis confirmed that high residential density and the presence of mosquito larvae were independent predictors of dengue incidence. High residential density and the presence of mosquito larvae in the home environment are the main risk factors for the incidence of dengue fever in children in Batang Regency. Public health interventions that focus on vector control and improving environmental sanitation are critical to reducing the dengue burden in this area.
