Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO), also known as secondary cataract, is the most common complication following cataract surgery, particularly extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE). PCO results from the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of residual lens epithelial cells within the posterior capsule, leading to the formation of structures such as Elsching pearls and Soemmering rings. The incidence of PCO is notably high among pediatric patients due to the increased mitotic activity of lens epithelial cells. Major risk factors include younger age, certain ocular conditions such as glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration, as well as the design and material of the implanted intraocular lens (IOL). Diagnosis is established through slit-lamp and ophthalmoscopic examinations, with decreased visual acuity being the primary clinical symptom. The current mainstay of treatment is Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy, which is effective and minimally invasive but may be associated with complications such as cystoid macular edema and retinal detachment. Preventive strategies focus on improved surgical techniques and appropriate IOL selection. With proper intervention, the incidence of PCO can be reduced, thereby improving postoperative visual outcomes.

Pulmonary function disorders are commonly underdiagnosed health issues, especially in urban areas with high air pollution and prevalent smoking habits. Early detection through spirometry plays a crucial role in the promotion and prevention of respiratory diseases such as asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). However, public awareness and access to spirometry remain limited, including in the Tanjung Duren Selatan subdistrict of West Jakarta. This community service program was conducted using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle management approach. The target population consisted of productive-age residents willing to participate in health education and lung function screening. Spirometry examinations were conducted alongside interactive counseling about respiratory health and risk factors. Evaluation was carried out through spirometry results and participant satisfaction surveys. A total of 92 participants took part in the activity, consisting of 70 females (76.1%) and 22 males (23.9%), with a mean age of 43.78 years (SD ±12.93). The average Vital Capacity (VC) was 2.26 L, Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) was 2.13 L, and Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) was 1.95 L. The mean FEV1/FVC ratio was 107.12%, with 100% of participants showing normal lung function. This activity demonstrates that spirometry is an effective tool for monitoring lung function and increasing community awareness. Similar screening initiatives should be expanded to support early detection of respiratory disorders at the community level.

This research explores Ōta Shōgo’s The Water Station using a biographical lens, concentrating on three key aspects of absurdist theater: the Anti-Hero, Anti-Dialogue, and Anti-Climax. Breaking away from conventional storytelling methods, the play introduces a cast of anonymous characters who move gradually and silently across the stage, briefly stopping at a leaking water pipe. These characters represent the Anti-Hero—individuals lacking a distinct purpose, choice, or identity. The performance's lack of spoken words introduce a powerful Anti-Dialogue component, substituting conversation with silence and physical gestures, which symbolically mirrors the playwright’s experiences of trauma and disillusionment following the war. Moreover, the story does not follow a typical climax or conclusion, utilizing Anti-Climax to highlight the meaningless repetition inherent in human life. Through an examination of Ōta’s personal history—especially his experiences of displacement during World War II and his interest in the concepts of time, slowness, and stillness—this paper illustrates how these influences shaped the play's form and tone. The study emphasizes that non-Western absurdist art can arise from deeply personal and historical backgrounds. Ultimately, The Water Station creates a reflective theatrical experience where silence communicates more than spoken words, encouraging viewers to engage with the themes of emptiness, ambiguity, and the quiet beauty of existence.

This normative legal study examines the potential and challenges of implementing restorative justice approaches in cases involving corporate perpetrators within Indonesia's criminal justice system. The research employs statute, conceptual, and case approaches to analyze legal principles, norms, and court decisions related to corporate criminal liability and restorative justice mechanisms. Through comprehensive literature review of international academic databases and examination of Indonesia's legal framework, including the New Criminal Code of 2023 and Prosecutor's Regulation No. 15 of 2020, the study reveals that restorative justice offers a transformative alternative to traditional retributive models by prioritizing restoration, rehabilitation, and reconciliation between corporate offenders, victims, and affected communities. The dual track system selective model emerges as the most appropriate framework for corporate restorative justice implementation, enabling selective application while maintaining prosecutorial discretion for serious offenses. However, significant challenges persist, including the absence of specific regulatory frameworks for corporate actors, structural complexities arising from the non-personified nature of corporate entities, and profound power imbalances between corporations and victims that threaten process integrity. The study demonstrates that successful implementation requires comprehensive legal reforms, enhanced institutional capacity, robust victim support mechanisms, and safeguards against corporate manipulation. The research concludes that while restorative justice holds considerable promise for enhancing corporate accountability and victim restoration, effective implementation is contingent upon establishing clear legal frameworks, technical guidelines, and protective measures that address inherent power asymmetries between corporate offenders and their victims.

Uric acid (UA) is a waste product formed when the body breaks down purines, which are natural compounds found in the body and can be found in various types of foods such as alcohol, shellfish, and liver. Hyperuricemia is caused by increased uric acid production, decreased excretion, or a combination of both processes. Most people with hyperuricemia are asymptomatic (85% to 90%), but increased levels of uric acid in the blood or urine can cause gout or nephrolithiasis. Hyperuricemia and hyperuricosuria are also associated with other disorders such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, atherosclerosis, obesity, and chronic kidney disease. The Community Service (PKM) activity held in Grogol Village, West Jakarta, aims to increase awareness of the elderly community regarding the importance of early detection of hyperuricemia. This program uses the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach, starting from planning uric acid level examinations and compiling educational materials, followed by implementing interactive screening and counseling, evaluating results, and following up in the form of medical referrals for participants with abnormal results. Of the 71 participants involved, only 1 person had uric acid levels above normal. Through education on low-purine diets, the importance of hydration, and physical exercise, this activity is expected to be able to reduce the incidence of hyperuricemia and its complications, as well as support the realization of a healthier elderly community that is aware of its metabolic health.

Nephrolithiasis, commonly known as kidney stone disease, can be experimentally induced in animal models using ethylene glycol (EG) in combination with ammonium chloride, which closely mimics calcium oxalate stone formation in humans. This condition is associated with significant renal tissue injury, including glomerular atrophy, tubular necrosis, and hyaline droplet accumulation, ultimately impairing kidney function. The present study aimed to investigate the histopathological changes in the kidneys of EG-induced rats and evaluate the nephroprotective potential of combined avocado (Persea americana) and gooseberry (Physalis angulata) leaf extracts. A total of 30 male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups: a standard control (no induction), a negative control (EG-induced without treatment), a positive control (EG-induced and treated with a commercial nephroprotective agent), and two treatment groups receiving the combined extracts at different doses. Nephrolithiasis induction was performed over 28 days, followed by oral administration of the respective treatments. At the end of the experiment, kidney tissues were collected and processed for histological examination using hematoxylin-eosin staining to assess the extent of tissue damage. The negative control group exhibited the most severe histopathological alterations, with hyaline droplet formation reaching 15.0 ± 5.25%. In contrast, extract-treated groups demonstrated a marked reduction in tissue damage, with the most significant improvement observed in the group receiving 300 mg/kg avocado extract and 100 mg/kg gooseberry extract, which recorded hyaline droplet formation of only 5.27 ± 2.74%, a result comparable to that of the standard control group. These findings suggest that the combination of P. americana and P. angulata leaf extracts confers protective effects against EG-induced renal injury. Therefore, this herbal combination may represent a promising natural nephroprotective agent that warrants further investigation in preclinical and clinical settings.

This qualitative literature review explores the role of corporate governance and information asymmetry in the relationship between big bath accounting practices and audit fees. The findings suggest that firms engaging in big bath practices face higher audit fees due to increased audit risk perceived by auditors. Weak corporate governance exacerbates this effect, as auditors need to conduct more in-depth examinations to mitigate the associated risks. In addition, high information asymmetry between management and external stakeholders further increases audit risk, prompting auditors to expand their efforts. This study emphasizes the importance of strong corporate governance in reducing incentives for earnings management and enhancing financial transparency. The implications are significant for audit practice and corporate policy, highlighting the need for firms to strengthen their governance structures and for auditors to consider big bath risk in planning and conducting audits

Imbalance of body lipid levels, especially total cholesterol and HDL, is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disorders. A simple lipid profile examination can be used to detect potential atherogenic dyslipidemia that has not shown clinical symptoms. Total cholesterol and HDL levels were examined in 104 participants using the Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) technique. Education was provided individually using leaflets, which contained information on the effects of saturated fat and trans fat consumption, and the importance of unsaturated fat and fiber intake on lipid profiles. Most participants had total cholesterol levels within normal limits. However, more than half of the population showed low to very low HDL levels, indicating hidden metabolic risks. Dietary education was provided in a targeted manner according to the results of each participant's examination. Total cholesterol and HDL examinations were used to assess the risk of lipid disorders early on. Nutrition education based on examination results is useful in raising awareness of the importance of regulating diet to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular complications.

Breast Self-Examination (BSE/SADARI) is a practical and effective approach for the early identification of breast cancer, with the potential to reduce mortality rates by approximately 25–30%. Women who have limited Adequate understanding of breast cancer and Breast Self-Examination (BSE) necessitates appropriate health education beginning in adolescence. This study sought to assess and examine changes in the knowledge and skills of Women of Childbearing Age (WCA/WUS) in performing BSE before and after health education at the Butong Community Health Center, Central Kalimantan. This research employed an analytical survey design. The findings demonstrated a substantial improvement in participants’ knowledge of BSE, increasing from 21% in the good category during the pretest to 83% in the good category after the intervention. Prior to the educational session, 98% of WUS were unable to perform BSE correctly; however, following counseling, 95% were able to carry it out properly. The Wilcoxon test yielded a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating that the counseling intervention had a statistically significant impact on both knowledge and practical ability related to BSE. Therefore, collaboration among village authorities, healthcare providers, and the community is strongly recommended to routinely conduct educational programs in order to enhance awareness and skills in the early detection of breast cancer.

Background: Islamic inheritance law represents a critical component of family law systems that extends beyond religious obligations to encompass significant socio-economic implications for asset distribution and intergenerational justice. While Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam have both incorporated Islamic law into their national legal frameworks, their implementation approaches demonstrate fundamental structural and procedural differences that warrant systematic comparative analysis. Objective: This study examines the institutional frameworks and implementation effectiveness of Islamic inheritance law systems in Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam, analyzing how constitutional arrangements and governmental approaches influence the practical application of faraid principles. Methods: This research employs a normative legal methodology utilizing comparative analysis of legal frameworks, institutional structures, and judicial decisions. The study analyzes primary legal sources including constitutional provisions, statutory laws, court decisions, and administrative guidelines from both jurisdictions. Data collection encompassed library research examining fiqh literature, national legislation, official documents, scholarly articles, and religious legal opinions. Theoretical frameworks of legal pluralism (Romano-Gierke), Maqasid al-Shariah, and Hartian legal positivism provide analytical foundations for institutional effectiveness assessment. Results: Malaysia's dual legal system creates jurisdictional tensions between Syariah and civil courts, particularly regarding immovable property administration, resulting in administrative complexity and legal uncertainty that undermines Islamic law effectiveness. Conversely, Brunei's centralized Islamic legal framework demonstrates superior institutional coherence through exclusive Syariah court jurisdiction, enabling direct faraid implementation without inter-court conflicts. The study reveals that approximately RM42 billion in Muslim inheritance remains undistributed in Malaysia due to systematic administrative failures, while Brunei's unified approach achieves greater legal certainty and administrative efficiency. Conclusions: Institutional structures fundamentally determine Islamic inheritance law implementation effectiveness in contemporary Muslim societies. Successful Islamic law implementation requires comprehensive institutional support aligning legal structures with religious objectives rather than mere constitutional recognition. Malaysia's fragmented system inadvertently undermines Islamic law's divine authority through secular intervention, while Brunei's unified approach enhances religious legitimacy and community compliance.

Hemoglobin and hematocrit examinations serve as important early indicators of hematological status, reflecting the blood’s capacity to transport oxygen. A decrease in these two parameters leads to anemia, which is often undetected due to minimal early symptoms and low awareness to undergo examinations. This activity was carried out using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach, by examining hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in adult participants. Capillary blood samples were analyzed using a portable device at the examination location. Education was delivered through leaflets regarding the importance of iron, vitamin B12, and folate intake to support erythrocyte formation. The examination was attended by 104 participants, the majority of whom were women. The average hemoglobin was recorded as approaching the lower limit of normal values, while hematocrit levels showed wide variations. More than half of the participants were classified as having anemia. This high proportion of anemia highlights the urgent need for targeted nutritional education. Hemoglobin and hematocrit screening proves effective as an early detection tool for hematological disorders. Education that is linked to laboratory findings should be prioritized to promote improved dietary patterns, particularly the consumption of iron-rich foods, vitamin B12, and folate, in order to prevent erythropoietic dysfunction and long-term health complications.
