Malaria remains a significant public health problem in several endemic areas in Indonesia. Understanding temporal and epidemiological changes at the local level is crucial for effective malaria control and elimination. This study aims to analyze changes in malaria epidemiological patterns based on routine surveillance data at the Yaro Community Health Center, Indonesia, during the period 2023–2025. This is a retrospective, longitudinal descriptive study using routine malaria surveillance data. Variables analyzed include temporal trends, Plasmodium species distribution, demographic characteristics, spatial distribution, and case-finding strategies. Data were analyzed descriptively using frequencies and proportions. A total of 9,677 malaria examinations were recorded, with 546 confirmed cases. Malaria cases showed a significant increase in 2025. Plasmodium vivax was the most dominant species, with a steadily increasing proportion of mixed infections. Adults aged 15–64 years and men were the most affected groups. Spatial analysis showed regional heterogeneity with persistent hotspots at the village level. Passive case detection remains the primary method, while active surveillance is increasingly contributing to case identification. Malaria epidemiology in the Yaro region exhibits dynamic temporal, demographic, and spatial patterns. Strengthening integrated surveillance and targeted interventions is essential to address persistent transmission and support malaria elimination efforts.

21st-century skills are a crucial aspect that students must master, equipping them to face the challenges of modern development. In history learning, the use of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is considered a powerful tool for transforming learning from rote memorization to active, problem-solving-based learning. This study aims to analyze the role of PBL in enhancing 21st-century skills in history learning through the Problem-Based Learning (SLR) approach. The research method used in this study is the SLR with a prism procedure. The data were obtained from a search of scientific articles through Google Scholar using the keywords Problem-Based Learning, 21st-Century Skills, and history learning. From the initial 2,540 articles obtained, after screening based on relevance, quality, and year range, six key articles were obtained. The study results indicate that PBL is effective in enhancing 21st-century skills through discussions, historical source analysis, and contextual problem-solving. This approach is considered appropriate for the curriculum because it encourages student-centered learning, rather than teacher-centered learning. Although PBL still faces several challenges in its implementation, it remains a relevant and effective learning strategy for developing 21st-century skills.

Abortion is one of the pregnancy complications that still contributes to maternal morbidity and mortality, especially in the early trimester of pregnancy. Various maternal factors play a role in the occurrence of abortion, one of which is parity which reflects a mother's reproductive history. This study aims to analyze the relationship between parity and the incidence of abortion at Bumi Panua Pohuwato Hospital. The study used a quantitative approach with observational analytical design and cross-sectional design. The study population was all pregnant women who received obstetrics services at Bumi Panua Pohuwato Hospital during the study period. Samples were taken using a total sampling technique, so that all pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. The independent variable is parity, while the dependent variable is the incidence of abortion. Data were obtained from medical records and analyzed univariately to describe the characteristics of respondents, and bivariously using Chi-square test or Fisher Exact Test in accordance with the fulfillment of statistical requirements. The results showed that most of the respondents were in active reproductive age and first to second trimester pregnancy, with considerable parity variations. Bivariate analysis showed that parity did not have a statistically significant relationship with abortion incidence. The conclusion of this study shows that the incidence of abortion is not influenced by parity alone, but is likely influenced by the interaction of various other maternal factors. Therefore, abortion risk screening in antenatal services needs to be carried out comprehensively by considering various pregnancy risk factors.

Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) in children often results in joint stiffness, muscle weakness, limited range of motion, and gait impairment following surgical management and immobilization. Early physiotherapy intervention is essential to restore hip function and walking ability. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of active exercise on functional walking in outpatient children aged 3–5 years after DDH surgery. A case study design was conducted on three female patients who completed a five-week rehabilitation program consisting of ten active exercise sessions, including hip strengthening, mobility training, and balance exercises, combined with a home program. Outcome measures included hip range of motion, Manual Muscle Testing, and Modified McKay and Harris Hip Score assessed at baseline, mid-intervention, and post-intervention. The results showed improvements in hip range of motion, particularly in flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and external rotation, while internal rotation improved but did not reach normal values. Muscle strength increased from grade 1–2 to grade 3 in most hip muscle groups. Functional walking scores improved from poor to good and excellent, with patients achieving independent, symmetrical gait without pain. These findings indicate that active exercise is an effective rehabilitation approach to reduce impairments and enhance functional walking in children after DDH surgery. The study highlights the importance of structured physiotherapy and caregiver involvement to optimize recovery and participation in daily activities.

Kakawin Nītiśāstra is a classic Old Javanese literary work that holds significant cultural value, especially within Balinese society, and is widely studied in academic settings. Previous research has primarily focused on its ethical teachings and character education, highlighting its role as a moral guide for life. However, a closer examination of the text reveals stanzas that portray women in ways that contradict this interpretation, specifically presenting them as unequal to men. This study addresses the gap in existing literature by focusing on gender representation in Kakawin Nītiśāstra. Given its portrayal as a "guide" for life, the research aims to critically assess how gender roles are presented and encourage more thoughtful engagement with its teachings. Using Sara Mills' critical discourse analysis framework and a qualitative descriptive method, the study analyzes content. The findings show that men are represented as active subjects who speak about and evaluate women, while women are positioned as passive objects under male control. The discourse reflects a patriarchal ideology, with readers implicitly constructed as male, reinforcing gender norms.

The church has a strategic role not only in spiritual development, but also in the social and economic empowerment of the congregation. One relevant approach to address the challenges of congregational welfare is Theopreneurship, namely entrepreneurship based on Christian faith values. This study aims to determine how the form of pastor's mentoring as Theopreneur in improving the welfare of the congregation at HKI Resort Pulo Siborna, Panei District. The approach used is descriptive qualitative with data collection methods through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of the study show that the pastor plays an active role as a facilitator, motivator, and spiritual guide in assisting the congregation in developing businesses based on faith values. The socio-economic development (PSE) program, which covers agriculture and animal husbandry, has successfully fostered an entrepreneurial spirit, togetherness, and the economic independence of the congregation. The pastor's mentoring as a Theopreneur has proven to be able to provide holistic services that emphasize not only the spiritual aspect but also the economic empowerment of the congregation. Thus, the pastor's mentoring as Theopreneurship has a positive contribution in improving the welfare of the congregation holistically, encompassing spiritual, social, and economic aspects. Therefore, Theopreneurship can be a model of contextual and sustainable church service in realizing the welfare of the congregation as a whole.
