Myopia is an eye refractive disorder in which the light entering the eye is focused in front of the retina, causing long-distance vision to become blurry. This condition is often experienced by teenagers, including students in Islamic boarding schools, due to the habit of reading in close proximity, excessive use of gadgets, and lack of exposure to natural light. The high prevalence of myopia in young age groups needs serious attention so that it does not develop into permanent vision disorders. One of the prevention efforts that can be done is to provide education about myopia, including the definition, causes, prevention, and importance of maintaining eye health and a healthy lifestyle. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of myopia education on improving knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of students of the Ta'mirul Islam Islamic Islamic Boarding School in Surakarta. Based on the results of the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Paired Sample t-Test, there was a significant improvement in the aspects of knowledge and attitude, although behavioral changes have not shown meaningful results. These findings confirm the importance of continuous education to form healthy behaviors related to the prevention of myopia as a whole.

Bell's Palsy is a sudden onset of peripheral facial nerve paralysis that is generally unilateral. This condition is characterized by facial muscle weakness, asymmetry, difficulty closing the eyes, and facial expression disorders. Associated risk factors include exposure to cold temperatures and the habit of chewing ice cubes, which can trigger vasospasm of the blood vessels and inflammation of the facial nerve.  Physiotherapy management is important to accelerate recovery, prevent complications such as synkinesis and contractures, and improve the patient's quality of life. This study aims to describe the implementation of physiotherapy in cases of Bell's Palsy at PKU Muhammadiyah Selogiri Hospital and evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy intervention on the recovery of facial function in patients. A case report was conducted on a 41-year-old female patient diagnosed with right-sided Bell's Palsy. The examination included anamnesis, static and dynamic inspection, palpation, basic movement examination, sensory examination, and assessment using the House-Brackmann Facial Grading System (HBGS). Physiotherapy interventions were given three times a week, including Infra Red (IR), Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), light massage, facial exercises (raising eyebrows, closing eyes, blowing, smiling), and education on preventing exposure to cold. Evaluation was performed using Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) and Ugo Fisch. The implementation of physiotherapy with a combination of IR, TENS, massage, and facial exercises is effective in gradually improving the facial function of patients with Bell's Palsy. Physiotherapy also plays a role in educating patients about the prevention of recurrence related to environmental risk factors and lifestyle.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a major challenge in today's health development. One category of these diseases is hypertension, which is classified as a chronic disease with a relatively high mortality rate. Hypertension serves as a major predictor for various chronic diseases and is a common disease found in the community (Putri et al., 2025). If not managed properly, hypertension can lead to more serious complications such as stroke, coronary heart disease, diabetes, kidney failure, and blindness. Stroke (51%) and coronary heart disease (45%) are the leading causes of death related to hypertension (Pokhrel, 2024). The increasing prevalence of hypertension along with changes in lifestyle and unhealthy eating patterns adds to the global health burden. Therefore, effective management of hypertension is essential to prevent further complications. Appropriate hypertension management and regular monitoring can reduce the risk of related diseases, improve quality of life, and reduce mortality caused by complications of heart disease and stroke. Preventive and promotive efforts through health education are key to reducing the prevalence of hypertension in the community.

The lifestyle of Indonesian society, especially among Generation Z, has been influenced by globalization and foreign popular culture, specifically the Korean wave or hallyu. Awareness of halal certification and knowledge and literacy about halal food are important to study as they influence Generation Z's purchasing decisions regarding Korean food. This study uses a descriptive method, namely a qualitative approach, while the type of research used is literature research in the form of books, interpretations of the Qur'an, Hadith, and others related to the problem to be solved. Halal food is food and drink that is permissible for consumption according to Islam, i.e., free from haram ingredients such as pork, meat from animals that have not been slaughtered in accordance with Islamic law, and alcohol. To determine whether food is haram, there needs to be a guarantee, such as a halal certificate, which is an absolute step to ensure that a product complies with applicable standards. Korean food is cuisine that has grown and developed from the Korean environment and culture, which has a unique taste, starting from the names of the dishes, which are able to attract the interest of the public, especially Generation Z.  

This study examines youth slang (Jugendsprache) in the film Into the Beat (2020) through semantic and morphological approaches. The background of the research is based on the phenomenon of youth language development, which is dynamic, creative, and rich in socio-cultural meaning, yet often difficult for foreign speakers to understand. Youth language is chosen as the object of study because it reflects identity, group solidarity, and the communicative creativity of young people, and frequently appears in media, particularly films. The theoretical framework refers to experts’ perspectives on the characteristics of youth language, including the use of Anglicisms, abbreviations, metaphorization, and the formation of neologisms. The research method applied is descriptive qualitative, with data sources taken from the dialogues and subtitles of the film Into the Beat. The analysis is carried out based on Helmut Henne’s theory of youth language characteristics. The results reveal that youth slang in the film functions not only as a means of communication but also as a medium of emotional expression, lifestyle, and identity construction among German adolescents. Vocabulary such as alter, bro, krass, cool, and scheiße demonstrates creativity in morphological processes, including abbreviation, prefixation, and borrowing from foreign languages. The study concludes that youth slang plays an essential role in shaping characters, inter-character relationships, and the authenticity of the storyline. Furthermore, youth language reflects the evolving cultural and social dynamics of adolescents. This research is expected to contribute to linguistic studies, particularly semantics, and to serve as a valuable resource in German language learning by expanding vocabulary and fostering an understanding of authentic communication patterns among German teenagers.

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that can be life-threatening, especially in the elderly. According to the WHO, more than 15 million people aged 30–69 years die each year from non-communicable diseases. This study aims to analyze factors influencing the incidence of hypertension in the elderly, including smoking, stress levels, culture, diet, exercise, and coffee drinking habits. This research method used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The population was 738 elderly people, with a sample size of 259 elderly people, and random sampling was used. Data analysis was performed using univariate, bivariate using the Chi-Square test, and multivariate using the Pearson correlation test. The results of this study such as Smoking with hypertension: There is a significant influence (p = 0.002), stress level There is a significant influence (p = 0.002), Culture There is a significant influence (p = 0.010), Eating patterns with hypertension are significant (p = 0.049), Exercise There is a significant influence (p = 0.003), drinking coffee with a significant influence (p = 0.048). Multivariate analysis shows that culture (p = 0.003; r = 0.177) and coffee drinking habits (p = 0.022; r = 0.139) are the most influential factors on elderly hypertension, while other factors are not significant. This study shows that smoking, stress levels, culture, diet, exercise, and coffee consumption are significantly associated with hypertension in the elderly. However, a multivariate analysis revealed that cultural factors and coffee drinking habits were the most dominant factors influencing hypertension, while other factors had no significant effect after being controlled for. Therefore, efforts to prevent and control hypertension in the elderly need to focus on changing cultural practices that are less conducive to health and regulating coffee consumption, while still considering the implementation of a healthy lifestyle overall.

Population growth and lifestyle changes in Indonesia have led to complex waste management issues, negatively impacting social, health, and environmental sustainability aspects. To address this, a sustainable management approach that actively involves community participation is necessary. The concept of a Waste Bank, based on the 3R principles (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), emerges as a strategic, community-based solution. This community service program aims to encourage active community participation in the Waste Bank program in Tanjung Uban Selatan, Bintan Regency, while supporting the realization of a Smart City based on intelligent and participatory environments. The methodology used is a qualitative approach to gain in-depth understanding. Primary data collection was carried out through interviews, participatory observations, and documentation studies. Key informants were purposively selected from various stakeholders, including Waste Bank administrators, local government representatives, and community members. The results show that, although initially challenging to increase community participation, the program has had a significant positive impact. It successfully shifted the community's view of waste as a valuable economic resource. Quantitatively, this is reflected in stable income from the sale of high-quality inorganic waste, such as metals and electronic waste. The program also led to strategic innovations, including sustainable education, waste savings incentives, social media use, and the "Dasi Umat" empowerment program. The success of this program, strengthened by awards at the district and national levels, makes it a model for sustainable waste management focused on community empowerment and supporting smart city development.

The automotive sector continues to demonstrate significant progress in line with innovations in various supporting components of motor vehicles. Motorcycles, which initially served only as a practical means of transportation, have now evolved into a lifestyle element and a popular activity among many communities. Along with the increasing demand from consumers for performance and efficiency, the development of transmission technology, particularly the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) system, has become an important aspect that requires serious attention. One of the key components in the CVT system is the double clutch lining and the clutch housing, which play a vital role in transferring torque and power from the engine to the driving wheel. The performance of these components directly affects acceleration, efficiency, and engine durability. Therefore, research on the design and modification patterns of the double clutch lining and clutch housing is essential to determine an optimal configuration. This study applies an experimental method using a 110 cc motorcycle as the test object. Several modification patterns were applied to the double clutch lining and clutch housing to examine their influence on vehicle performance. The testing process was carried out using a dynotest, which enables precise measurement of torque and power across different engine speeds. The data obtained from these tests are expected to provide a clear overview of the effect of modification patterns on the transmission performance of motorcycles. The findings of this research are expected to contribute significantly to the development of more efficient and optimal designs for double clutch linings and clutch housings. Furthermore, this study may serve as a valuable reference for the automotive industry as well as motorcycle modification communities in enhancing vehicle performance while maintaining efficiency and component durability. In this regard, innovations in CVT components hold great potential to support the advancement of two-wheeled transportation technology in the future.

Hypertension is a condition where blood pressure is persistently above the normal limit. This condition is a risk factor that can cause damage to vital organs, including the heart, brain, retina, kidneys, aorta, and peripheral blood vessels. This case study aims to describe the implementation of these management efforts in a 45-year-old female patient with hypertension in Blang Dalam Geunteng Village, Nisam District, North Aceh. Mrs. H, a 45-year-old woman, came to the General Clinic of Nisam Community Health Center with a primary complaint of headache since one week before the visit. The headache felt like a throbbing pain throughout the head and was intermittent. This complaint was quite disruptive to the patient's daily activities, especially when doing light household chores. In addition, the patient complained of a throbbing sensation in both eyes that began to be felt simultaneously with the onset of the headache. This complaint appeared mainly when waking up in the morning. The patient has a history of hypertension that has been diagnosed since 2024. Family history shows that the patient's biological mother also suffered from hypertension and one of the patient's siblings was also diagnosed with high blood pressure but had not started treatment. Physical examination showed a blood pressure of 150/90 mmHg. Data were collected through anamnesis, physical examination, supporting procedures, home visits, and family documentation. The holistic assessment included quantitative and qualitative aspects of the initial visit, the process, and the outcome of the visit. Interventions included hypertension education, medication adherence, a healthy lifestyle, and family support for blood pressure management and lifestyle. This case study demonstrates the importance of a holistic and continuous family medicine approach in the management of patients with grade II hypertension, particularly those with familial risk factors.

Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages worldwide, including in Indonesia. Coffee consumption has become part of people's daily habits, whether as a companion for work, relaxation, or as part of social culture. However, this habit is often associated with the potential for increased blood pressure due to caffeine, which is a stimulant to the central nervous system and can affect the function of the heart and blood vessels. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the frequency of coffee consumption and systolic and diastolic blood pressure in adults. The research method used a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The study sample consisted of 100 adult respondents selected through a purposive sampling technique based on certain criteria, such as not currently taking antihypertensive medication and having no history of serious cardiovascular disease. Data collection was carried out in two stages. First, respondents completed a questionnaire containing information on the frequency and habits of coffee consumption, including the number of cups per day and the type of coffee consumed. Second, blood pressure was measured using a digital sphygmomanometer to obtain accurate systolic and diastolic blood pressure data. The results of the statistical analysis showed a significant positive correlation between the frequency of coffee consumption and increases in blood pressure, both systolic and diastolic. Specifically, respondents who consumed more than two cups of coffee per day tended to have higher blood pressure values compared to those who consumed one cup or less. This finding has important implications for health promotion efforts, particularly in educating the public about wise coffee consumption. Recommendations include limiting coffee intake, choosing coffee with low caffeine content, and balancing this with a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and stress management as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Injection contraception is one of the most widely used family planning methods in Indonesia. However, its use is often associated with side effects in the form of weight gain. The commonly used types of injection contraception are the 1-month and 3-month injections, each containing different hormonal contents, which are suspected to have different effects on the weight of the acceptors. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of 1-month and 3-month injection contraception on weight gain in family planning acceptors at PMB Wahyuning Purwati Sleman Regency. This research employs a quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach. A sample of 37 injectable contraceptive acceptors was selected using accidental sampling technique. The instrument used was a questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using paired sample t-test and independent t-test to determine body weight changes before and after using injectable contraceptives. The results showed an increase in body weight among users of the 1-month injectable contraceptive with an average of 3.158 kg (p<0.000) and among users of the 3-month injectable contraceptive with an average of 3.653 kg (p<0.006). Both types of injectable contraception showed a significant effect on weight gain. The weight gain was greater in users of the 3-month injection compared to the 1-month injection. There is a need for more intensive education and counseling for contraceptive acceptors regarding the side effects of injectable contraception and the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
