Domestic Violence (KDRT) remains a serious health and legal problem, the impact of which can lead to death. In this situation, forensic examination plays a crucial role in law enforcement. This study aims to describe the characteristics of forensic autopsy cases of domestic violence victims examined in the working area of the Riau Regional Police Medical and Health Division for the 2020-2024 pe…
Freshwater crabs have a life cycle that is entirely in freshwater and play an important role in the food chain as omnivores and detritivores. Some freshwater crabs can only be found in clean water, so they can also be used as bioindicators of water quality. This study aims to determine the habitat and abundance of crabs in the Tanduk River in Rumbio Village and to investigate the relationship b…
Pharmacotherapy adherence is pivotal for managing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. This cross-sectional study aimed to analyze the association between pharmacotherapy adherence levels and the achievement of various control criteria among 75 patients at two private hospitals in Pekanbaru. Pharmacotherapy adherence was measured using the MMAS-8 questionnaire. Clinical data were collected from medical re…
Microalgae, particularly Chlorella sp., are widely recognized for their high productivity and nutritional content, making them potential resources in aquaculture and biotechnology. However, the high cost of synthetic nutrients remains a constraint in microalgal cultivation. This study aimed to determine the potential of mustard green vegetable waste (Brassica juncea L.) as a liquid organic fert…
Understanding the swimming behavior and patterns of tambakan fish (Helostoma temminckii) is crucial for advancing fishing technology. This study aimed to identify the effect of current on the swimming speed behavior of Helostoma temminckii within a mini flume tank. Experiments were conducted using different current speeds to observe three categories of swimming speed: sustained swimming speed, …
Epidural anesthesia is a commonly used neuraxial technique due to its ability to provide stable analgesia, attenuate surgical stress responses, and reduce opioid requirements. Its utilization varies according to patient characteristics, surgical types, and clinical considerations. This study aimed to describe the profile of epidural anesthesia services for surgical patients at Arifin Achmad Gen…
Tangkahan Berjaya Usaha Sakti (BUS) is a fish landing facility utilized by purse seine vessels for unloading their catches. Time efficiency in the landing process is a crucial factor in maintaining fish quality, reducing berthing costs, and accelerating market distribution. This study aims to analyze the time efficiency of purse seine landings at BUS and identify the factors influencing wasted …
Traditional markets are areas with high trading activities that generate organic waste, making them potential breeding grounds for flies. Flies can act as mechanical vectors for intestinal parasites, including pathogenic protozoa and Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH), due to their habit of landing on organic materials, waste, and surfaces contaminated with feces. This condition can increase the …
Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) analysis is used to assess fishing productivity and as an indicator of fish stock abundance in waters. CPUE values represent the ratio between catch and fishing effort. This study aims to determine CPUE values and analyze the production factors that influence catch. The research method used a survey method with purposive sampling techniques. Data were analyzed using…
Endometrial cancer is a malignancy that develops in the epithelial lining of the endometrial cancer. Previous studies have suggested a potential involvement of the Partner and Localizer of BRCA2 (PALB2) gene in the development of endometrial cancer. This indicates that PALB2 may contribute to the pathogenesis of endometrial cancer and could be considered a potential biomarker. This study aimed…
Belawan Ocean Fishing Port (PPS) is one of the type A fishing ports that has a vital role in supporting capture fisheries activities in North Sumatra. One of the primary services provided is mooring services. However, the condition of facilities such as docks and water depths that are not optimal has the potential to reduce service quality and affect fishermen's satisfaction. This study aims to…
Endometrial cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignancies, with a steadily increasing incidence worldwide. This cancer is characterized by the accumulation of unrepaired DNA damage that leads to genomic instability. One of the key pathways maintaining genomic stability is the homologous recombination repair (HRR) mechanism, in which the RAD51 gene plays a central role in repairing…
Time efficiency in unloading is the ratio between the effective time used to transfer the catch from the fishing vessel to the transport vessel, then to the Fish Auction Site (FAS), and the total time available for these activities. This indicator is important in the unloading process at fish auctions because it affects the speed of catch distribution and fishermen's operational costs. This stu…
Skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) is one of the important fishery commodities frequently landed at Bungus Oceanic Fishing Port (PPS Bungus), West Sumatra. Skipjack production has shown fluctuations in recent years, raising concerns of potential overfishing if not properly managed.
