Stunting is a public health problem characterized by impaired growth and development of children due to chronic malnutrition, recurrent infections, and suboptimal parenting. The problem of stunting is still a concern in various regions, including Darma Village, Polewali District, Polewali Mandar Regency which requires family-based interventions through promotive and preventive approaches. Lack of family health literacy, suboptimal use of digital information, and low monitoring of children's growth and development are factors that can affect stunting prevention efforts. This community service activity aims to increase digital health literacy and family promotive-preventive behavior in stunting prevention through the Keluarga Darma CERDAS program. The method of implementing activities uses a participatory health promotion approach through family education, discussions, demonstrations of healthy menus based on local food, delivery of ABCDE messages to prevent stunting, the use of simple digital media such as WhatsApp and digital posters, and family assistance. The target of the activity was 20 families at risk of stunting in Darma Village, Polewali District, Polewali Mandar Regency. This activity is expected to increase family knowledge about stunting prevention, improve the family's ability to access correct health information, strengthen the role of the family in monitoring child growth and development, and form a family digital education group as a medium for continuous mentoring. The output of activities is in the form of increasing family health literacy, Darma Cerdas Sehat education modules, digital health promotion media, and family empowerment models in an effort to accelerate community-based stunting prevention.

The Alpha generation is currently facing big challenges in balancing virtual activities and real life, where the high intensity of using devices often shifts priorities for worship, especially during the month of Ramadan. This dependence on digital screens triggers individualistic attitudes and reduces children's levels of religious participation. Therefore, this community service activity aims to increase the capacity of parents and children to implement time management and limit screen time effectively. The method used is a social marketing approach combined with participatory observation techniques, interactive visual promotions, and educational simulation games which were implemented in the Imaduddin Mosque Youth Hall, Medokan Ayu, Surabaya. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in understanding among children and parents regarding the importance of setting time limits for using devices. Generation Alpha children responded positively by enthusiastically setting their own daily priority scale between playing and worshiping without feeling forced. The implications of this activity include long-term changes to the social and spiritual dynamics of residents, the creation of a more harmonious family environment with minimal conflict related to confiscation of devices, as well as the revival of the function of mosques as centers of communal interaction for the younger generation. It is hoped that the independence of citizens in educating children will be able to build the foundation for a future generation that is digitally intelligent, mentally healthy and has a strong religious character.

In the digital era, teachers are required to be creative in integrating technology with learning to make the learning process more engaging and effective. This study explores how the Wordwall application can bridge the gap between Islamic Religious Education (PAI) material, which is rich in moral values, and Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK), which emphasizes the importance of physical health. This application provides interactive games that allow students to learn while playing, so that they not only understand religious teachings and physical skills but also experience a fun learning experience. Through various types of games such as puzzles and quizzes, students can more easily remember the lesson material and apply that knowledge in their daily lives. In addition, the use of Wordwall encourages active student participation in each learning session. This strengthens their engagement in the learning process and increases motivation to learn. The research findings show that Wordwall can transform the classroom atmosphere to be more lively, interactive, and collaborative, creating an environment that supports active and enjoyable learning for students.

Background: Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammation of the pilosebaceous unit caused by multiple factors, characterized by the presence of comedones, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. This condition commonly affects adolescents and often leads to psychological impacts, particularly decreased self-confidence. During adolescence, sensitivity to physical appearance tends to increase, making facial changes such as acne influential on social interactions, self-esteem, and even academic performance. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between the severity of acne vulgaris and the level of self-confidence among students of SMA Al Irsyad Surabaya in 2025. Methods: The research employed an analytical design with a cross-sectional approach and involved a population of 90 students, from which 73 were selected as samples using purposive sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The severity of acne vulgaris was assessed using an observation sheet based on the Lehmann classification, while self-confidence levels were measured using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test. Results: The findings showed that most students experienced mild acne vulgaris (49.3%) and had a high level of self-confidence (64.4%). There was a significant relationship between acne severity and self-confidence (p = 0.008), indicating that the more severe the acne, the lower the level of self-confidence. Conclusion: This study is expected to serve as a basis for schools and healthcare providers in developing educational programs and psychological support for adolescents

The low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding is still a public health challenge because it has a direct impact on infant health. Factors that cause low coverage of breastfeeding include problems in the breastfeeding process, economic conditions, environmental support, and socio-cultural aspects. Milk production is influenced by the hormone prolactin, while milk production is influenced by the hormone oxytocin. One of the interventions that has been proven to help with breast milk production is oxytocin massage. Based on this, this community service activity was carried out as an effort to increase breast milk production in breastfeeding mothers. The method of the activity is in the form of health counseling to pregnant women in the third trimester with educational media in the form of presentation materials. The activity was complemented by discussions, questions and answers, and demonstrations of the right oxytocin massage techniques to strengthen participants' understanding. The implementation of the activity went well and received enthusiasm from the participants. The results of the activity showed an increase in pregnant women's knowledge about the importance of exclusive breastfeeding and skills in performing oxytocin massage. Thus, this activity is expected to support the increase in exclusive breastfeeding coverage through the empowerment of pregnant and lactating women, as well as a promotive-preventive strategy in maintaining the health of babies in a sustainable manner.

The rapid development of modern science and technology has brought major transformations to various aspects of human life, including education, communication, economics, health, and social interaction. Nevertheless, this progress often creates a gap between scientific advancement and spiritual or moral values, particularly when viewed from an Islamic perspective. This study aims to analyze the relationship between modern science and Islamic teachings, while also exploring relevant forms of integration between the two in responding to contemporary life challenges. The research employs a qualitative approach through a comprehensive literature review of books, scientific journals, and other academic sources related to science and Islam. The findings indicate that Islam is fundamentally not opposed to science; instead, Islamic teachings encourage critical thinking, intellectual development, and the pursuit of knowledge for the benefit of humanity. Furthermore, the integration of scientific knowledge and Islamic values is considered essential in maintaining balance between technological progress, ethical responsibility, and human morality. Therefore, continuous and contextual efforts are needed to harmonize science and religion so that both can contribute optimally to the development of a more humane, ethical, and spiritually grounded civilization.

Background:Reproductive health education plays a crucial role, particularly for adolescents with disabilities, in maintaining their reproductive health. One effort to reduce menstrual-related problems is by developing hygienic behaviors. Menstrual personal hygiene refers to individual cleanliness practices aimed at maintaining, preserving, and improving personal hygiene and health to achieve physical and psychological well-being through the implementation of hygienic actions during menstruation. Objective; This study aimed to identify factors associated with menstrual personal hygiene behavior among adolescents with disabilities as part of long-term care. Methods:This study employed a correlational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 36 respondents, selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using bivariate analysis with the Chi-square test. Results: The results showed that variables significantly associated with respondents’ menstrual personal hygiene behavior were knowledge (p-value = 0.018), family support (p-value = 0.003), and adequacy of facilities and infrastructure (p-value = 0.003). Meanwhile, self-motivation was not significantly associated with menstrual personal hygiene behavior (p-value = 0.124). Conclusion: Therefore, nurses and healthcare providers are encouraged to enhance reproductive health education, involve families, and promote the provision of disability-friendly facilities to support long-term care for adolescents with disabilities.

This study aims to examine the relationship between family support and depression levels among the elderly in Pejuang Village, Bekasi City, through a descriptive-narrative literature review. The review analyzed relevant scientific articles discussing family support, social support, and depression in older adults. Literature was selected based on the suitability of the elderly population, the presence of family or social support variables, and the measurement of depressive symptoms or depression levels. The analysis compared each article’s objectives, research design, respondent characteristics, instruments, findings, and conclusions. The results indicate that most studies found a relationship between family support or social support and depression among the elderly. Adequate family support, including emotional, instrumental, informational, and appraisal support, helps older adults feel cared for, valued, secure, and better able to adapt to the aging process. Preliminary findings at the Elderly Posyandu in Pejuang Village also show variations in family support and depression levels among elderly participants. Conversely, limited family support may increase loneliness, psychological distress, and depressive symptoms. Therefore, family support functions as a protective factor in reducing depression risk among older adults. Strengthening the involvement of families, health workers, and elderly posyandu cadres is necessary as a promotive and preventive strategy to maintain psychological well-being through education, early detection, and sustainable community-based assistance for vulnerable elderly groups living in community and family environments.

Sumbersari Village is one of the few places where child marriage is still a problem. Children's mental health, education, and future prospects are all negatively impacted by this practice. The KKN (Community Service Program) group organizes community service projects that teach fifth and sixth graders about the dangers of child marriage and give them the opportunity to socialize. One of the strategies used is a question and answer session with incentives to increase student engagement, as well as presenting material in simple language and facilitating interactive conversations. The results show that students' interest and knowledge about child marriage risks increases. This activity has limitations due to its limited reach, especially for elementary school children, and the relatively basic nature of the subject matter. Therefore, for initiatives to combat child marriage to be more successful and sustainable, follow-up programs involving parents, adolescents, and community leaders are essential. Collaboration with relevant parties is needed to create deeper policies, as well as increase awareness of the importance of women's education and empowerment in preventing child marriage.

Adolescence is an important transitional period characterized by the maturity of the reproductive organs.In coastal areas such as Suppa District, lack of access to scientific information increases the risk of inappropriate sexual behavior among adolescents.The PkM aims to increase students' understanding of reproductive anatomy and physiology, provide prevention education related to sexually transmitted diseases,early pregnancy, promiscuity, and encourage the implementation of a clean and healthy lifestyle.The target of this activity was students in grades VIII and IX of SMP Negeri 2 Suppa, Pinrang Regency,South Sulawesi Province, with the number of participants reaching 60 people.The implementation method was carried out with an active participatory approach, including filling out a pre-test questionnaire,delivering material through interactive lectures with the help of multimedia presentation slides and booklets, Focus Group Discussion  to overcome participants' awkwardness,and ending with filling out a post-test.The success of the program was evaluated based on knowledge improvement through a structured questionnaire instrument.The results of the evaluation showed a significant increase in the average student understanding by 45.0%,from the average pre-test score of 43.3% to 88.3% in the post-test.

The issue of nutrition among school children remains a public health challenge in Indonesia. As an effort to improve the nutritional status of students, the government launched the Free Nutritious Meal program (MBG) in educational units. However, in its implementation, there are still students who do not take advantage of the program. This study aims to identify the reasons why students do not utilize the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program based on the (ABC) theory of antecedent, behavior, consequence at SD Negeri 100 Kendari. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. The number of informants to be studied is 6 people selected through Purposive Sampling, consisting of students, the principal, teachers, SPPG officers, and parents. Data collection is conducted through in-depth interviews, recording, observation, and documentation. The data are analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Research results show that the antecedent of students' knowledge about the MBG program is at the level of knowing to understanding, the application of the provided menu has been in accordance with balanced nutrition principles, and the program policy is supported by various parties. Students' behavior shows rejection of the program influenced by negative experiences, perceptions of the halalness of food containers, and parental prohibitions. The consequence of students not participating does not directly have a negative impact on their learning conditions or physical health, because nutritional needs are still met from other sources. Therefore, students have no motivation to utilize the program. In conclusion, students who do not take advantage of the MBG program are influenced by perceptions, experiences, and parental restrictions. Therefore, it is necessary to improve education, strengthen communication, and enhance the quality of program implementation to increase the utilization of the MBG program.

Bullying is a common occurrence in schools and public settings, often affecting children. However, this issue often goes unnoticed because it is considered commonplace, despite the significant impact it can have on victims. This study aims to determine the impact of bullying on a child's personality and educational process. The impact of bullying on children who are victims of bullying is that victims experience physical and non-physical violence. These include frequent social isolation, a lack of close friends, poor relationships with parents, and declining mental health. The worst impact for children who are victims of bullying is depression and even suicide. This can lead to prolonged trauma for children who are victims of bullying. Furthermore, a child who is a victim of bullying will also experience learning and academic difficulties. One action that can be taken for a child who is a perpetrator or victim of bullying is to provide affection, trust, involve them in positive activities, and educate them about the negative impacts of bullying. Therefore, collaboration between schools, teachers, and parents is needed to address bullying against children.

This study aims to examine the normative construction and practical implementation of criminal sanctions against narcotics abusers from the perspectives of Islamic criminal law and Indonesian positive law, as well as to formulate an integrative policy model that is more just, humane, and context-sensitive in Bungo Regency. Narcotics abuse constitutes a multidimensional problem involving legal, social, moral, and public health dimensions. Therefore, a comprehensive approach is required to integrate the normative values of Islamic criminal law with the national legal system. This research employs a normative-empirical approach using comparative legal analysis, examining statutory regulations, doctrines of Islamic criminal law, and law enforcement practices at the local level. The findings indicate that Islamic criminal law frames narcotics abuse within the protection of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, particularly the preservation of intellect (ḥifẓ al-‘aql) and life (ḥifẓ al-nafs), thereby emphasizing not only punitive but also educational and rehabilitative orientations through the instrument of ta‘zīr. Meanwhile, Indonesian positive law, particularly Law No. 35 of 2009 on Narcotics, provides legal space for rehabilitation; however, its implementation still encounters structural and cultural challenges. This study concludes that integrating Islamic criminal law principles with the national legal framework may produce a more responsive sentencing model that upholds substantive justice, human rights protection, and effective narcotics control. Policy reformulation grounded in religious values, restorative approaches, and social rehabilitation is recommended as a strategic direction for national criminal law reform.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of cross-sector education based on community participation as an effort to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Watangsono Village, Wonogiri. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach by collecting data through participatory observation, documentation, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) involving key stakeholders in the village. The results show that the implementation of cross-sector educational programs covering education, health, economy, and environment has a significant impact on improving community knowledge, skills, and awareness. Community participation was reflected through active involvement in various practical activities, such as anti-bullying education, digital literacy training, stunting prevention through local food processing, herbal plant utilization, natural pesticide production, family health massage practices, and strengthening local economic capacity. The participatory and applicative approach encourages two-way knowledge transfer and strengthens community capacity in managing local resources sustainably. Despite challenges such as limited resources and time constraints, the program demonstrates positive contributions to supporting SDGs achievement at the village level. Therefore, cross-sector education based on community participation can serve as an effective strategy in empowering rural communities and fostering sustainable development.

This study aims to explain the context of the Value Added Tax (VAT) increase policy and its relevance to the trade sector, while also presenting a framework for analyzing the tax burden. The data sources used consist of publications from the last four years, namely from 2021 to 2024. The observed phenomena are then analyzed using various secondary data obtained from scientific journals, official government reports, and other reliable sources relevant to the research topic, in order to provide a comprehensive overview. The conclusions are drawn based on empirical facts, the impacts of the tax increase, and the government’s mitigation efforts to ensure taxpayer compliance. The increase in the VAT rate represents an important step in fiscal reform aimed at increasing state revenue and reducing the budget deficit. This policy has significant potential to support the growth of the national budget, particularly in financing priority sectors such as infrastructure, education, and healthcare. However, the VAT increase may also affect consumers’ purchasing power and trade activities, thus requiring appropriate supporting policies to minimize negative impacts. Therefore, it is expected that this policy will contribute to sustainable economic stability and promote long-term national economic growth.

The Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) is a strategic initiative by the Indonesian government to address the long-standing issues of malnutrition and stunting, which have significantly hindered human resource (HR) development in Indonesia. The program aims to improve children's nutrition and reduce stunting by providing free nutritious meals, particularly in areas with limited access to healthy food. This study aims to analyze the legal framework of MBG, its effectiveness in achieving its goals, and its impact on national development. Using a qualitative approach, the study analyzes the implementation of MBG through document analysis, interviews with relevant stakeholders, and field observations. The findings highlight challenges within the program, including imbalanced food distribution, inadequate infrastructure in remote areas, and suboptimal food quality control, which resulted in several food poisoning incidents in 2025. Nevertheless, the program has a positive economic impact by empowering micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) involved in food supply. The study suggests strengthening the monitoring system, improving budget management, and better coordination between government sectors and communities to maximize the success of MBG. It also emphasizes the importance of nutrition education campaigns to support the program's goals. Overall, MBG is a crucial step toward creating a healthier and more productive generation, supporting the achievement of Indonesia's Golden Generation by 2045..

Anemia in adolescents is a serious health issue that impacts students' concentration and productivity. This community service activity aims to conduct early detection of anemia through a comprehensive manual screening method at three high schools: SMA Sains Alumnika Palembang, SMA Candradimuka, and SMA Mandiri. The implementation method involved three main stages: identification of clinical signs and symptoms (5L), visual observation of the palpebral conjunctiva, and hemoglobin (Hb) level measurement using Point of Care Testing (POCT) devices. Held from April 1st to 8th, 2026, the activity involved the active participation of students and school authorities as an effort toward independent nutritional surveillance. The screening results showed a correlation between subjective symptoms, pale conjunctiva conditions, and Hb measurement results in the field. Changes in students' behavior regarding nutritional intake and the emergence of new awareness among school authorities about the importance of routine check-ups served as indicators of successful social transformation. In conclusion, integrated manual screening is highly effective as a preventive health measure for adolescents within educational environments.
