Postoperative pain is a common physiological response following surgical procedures, and its suboptimal management can have physiological and psychological effects, including sleep disturbances, decreased functional capacity, increased anxiety, and deterioration in quality of life. This scoping review aims to describe the empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of music therapy in reducing the intensity of postoperative pain in surgical patients. A systematic search was conducted through four major databases (ScienceDirect, PubMed, Neliti, and Google Scholar) using Boolean operators and keywords such as ‘postoperative pain,’ ‘music therapy,’ and ‘pain scale.’ Inclusion criteria included articles published in the last decade, in English or Indonesian, and available in full text format. In accordance with PRISMA-ScR guidelines, this review analysed 10 articles. The synthesis of results showed that music therapy consistently reduced pain intensity, anxiety, and analgesic requirements through mechanisms such as increased endorphin secretion, decreased stress hormone levels, and activation of the gate control theory. Typically administered for 15–30 minutes, music therapy is a safe, cost-effective, and patient-acceptable non-pharmacological modality. This intervention is recommended as an adjunct component in perioperative pain management in nursing practice, although further standardised research is needed to improve consistency.

Atherosclerosis, as the leading cause of cardiovascular disease, can be triggered by a high-fat diet that causes hyperlipidemia. Fern leaves (Diplazium esculentum) contain various bioactive compounds (alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, terpenoids) with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential, which are suspected to inhibit the formation of atherosclerotic lesions. This study aims to determine the effect of administering fern leaf extract on the histopathological features of the aorta in Wistar rats induced by a high-fat diet. This laboratory experimental study used 25 male Wistar rats divided into five groups: (A) normal control, (B) negative control (high-fat diet), (C) positive control (high-fat diet + simvastatin), (D) treatment I (high-fat diet + fern leaf extract 600 mg/kgBW), and (E) treatment II (high-fat diet + fern leaf extract 1200 mg/kgBW). The treatment was administered for 21 days. On the 22nd day, the aorta was taken and processed into histopathological preparations using Hematoxylin-Eosin (H&E) staining. The number of foam cells was counted at 400x magnification. Data were analyzed using the One-Way ANOVA test followed by the Tukey test. There were differences in the number of foam cells between groups. The post-hoc test showed a significant difference between group B (high-fat diet) and all other groups (p<0.001). There was no significant difference between group E (extract 1200 mg/kgBW) and group C (simvastatin) (p=0.783), nor between group D (extract 600 mg/kgBW) and group C (p=0.075). Fern leaf extract (Diplazium esculentum) is able to reduce the number of foam cells in the aorta of Wistar rats induced by a high-fat diet.

Multatuli Area 4 is highly susceptible to flooding due to its close location to the Deli River and inadequate environmental management, which exacerbate the risk during the rainy season. Despite this vulnerability, community preparedness remains limited, leaving residents exposed to potential damage and loss. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, collecting data through in-depth interviews and direct observations with purposively selected informants who have knowledge of local flooding experiences. The findings reveal that while residents are generally able to recognize early signs of flooding, their responses are largely reactive rather than proactive. Several factors contribute to this low level of preparedness, including limited perception of risk, insufficient economic capacity to implement preventive measures, declining social cohesion and cooperation, and underutilization of available mitigation facilities and infrastructure. These conditions highlight the need for improved community awareness, better access to resources, and strengthened disaster management strategies to enhance flood preparedness in Multatuli Area 4.

A high-fat diet can cause hyperlipidemia, which is one of the main risk factors for atherosclerosis. Papaya flowers (Carica papaya L.) contain antioxidants that have the potential to inhibit the development of atherosclerotic lesions. This study aims to determine the effect of papaya flower extract on the histopathological features of the aorta of Wistar rats induced by a high-fat diet. The study design is a posttest only-trial group design. The study sample consisted of 25 male Wistar rats divided into 5 groups with treatment for 21 days. Group A received no treatment. Group B was given high-fat diet consisting of 3 mL of pork fat and 2 g of duck egg yolk. Group C was given high-fat diet and simvastatin 0.18 mg/200 gBW. Groups D and E were given high-fat diet and papaya flower extract 125 mg/kgBW and 250 mg/kgBW, respectively. The parameter used is the histopathological description of the aorta in the form of foam cell formation. The results showed that there were few foam cell in group A. Group B had many foam cells in the tunica intima and media of aorta. Group C, D and E showed a reduction in the number of foam cells. The administration of papaya flower extract (Carica papaya L.) was effective in inhibiting foam cell formation in the aorta of Wistar rats induced by a high-fat diet, with a better effect seen at a dose of 250 mg/kgBW, which was almost comparable to simvastatin.

Plastic waste is a form of solid waste originating from synthetic polymer materials that are difficult to decompose naturally and pose serious threats to environmental sustainability. Its accumulation continues to increase, causing pollution of soil, water, and ecosystems.
