Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a reproductive health problem that is still common among adolescents and can have serious impacts if not handled properly. Low levels of knowledge and unfavorable attitudes towards STIs have the potential to increase risky behavior among students. Objectives. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge and attitudes of students towards sexually transmitted infections at MAS Darul Mursyid. Methods. This study employed a cross-sectional methodology and a quantitative descriptive design. All MAS Darul Mursyid students were included in the study population, and a total sampling procedure was used to pick 149 respondents. A questionnaire with 20 statements about knowledge and 10 statements about attitudes around STIs was used to collect data. The SPSS software was used to analyze the data univariately, and the results were displayed as percentages and frequency distributions. Results and Discussion. According to the findings, 78 respondents (52.3%) had an adequate level of understanding, followed by 63 respondents (42.3%) in the poor category and 8 respondents (5.4%) in the good category. In the meanwhile, most students had a favorable opinion of STI prevention. Conclusion: Even though the majority of respondents expressed support for STI prevention initiatives, additional health education and instruction are still required to give students a more thorough grasp of STI prevention.

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of peripheral vertigo, characterized by brief episodes of vertigo due to otoconia displacement. Although most previous studies have focused on intrinsic factors such as age, gender, osteoporosis, and metabolic disorders, evidence regarding the role of environmental factors, particularly occupational noise exposure, is limited. Chronic noise has the potential to affect vestibular function through both sensory and vascular mechanisms. This study aims to narratively review the effect of occupational noise exposure on the risk of BPPV by integrating clinical, epidemiological, and experimental findings. The method used is a literature-based narrative review of the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases without year restrictions, using the keywords "BPPV", "occupational noise exposure", "vestibular dysfunction", "VEMP", and "otoconia displacement". The search results obtained 25 relevant articles linking BPPV to otolith, hormonal, vascular, lifestyle factors, and occupational noise exposure. The results indicate that chronic noise can cause sensory damage (otoconia and vestibular hair cells), vascular disorders (hypertension, cardiovascular disorders, and inner ear microvascular circulation disorders), and exacerbate lifestyle comorbidities (sedentary lifestyle, osteoporosis, hypertension, diabetes). The discussion confirms that these multifactorial mechanisms explain the susceptibility of industrial workers to BPPV despite normal hearing function. The conclusion of this study is that workplace noise exposure has been shown to play a significant role as a risk factor for BPPV, therefore, prevention strategies, vestibular health monitoring, and healthy lifestyle interventions need to be optimized in occupational health programs.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of affective learning strategies in Akidah Akhlak subjects to enhance students' self-control at MTs Muhammadiyah 02 Purbalingga.
