The increasing trend of working from home since the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced new occupational health challenges, particularly regarding ergonomics. This study aimed to improve ergonomic awareness through structured education on proper work postures for home-based workers. Using a one-group pretest-posttest design, the research evaluated the effectiveness of educational interventions based on behavior change theories. Results demonstrated that interventions using the Trans-Theoretical Model (TTM) reduced Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA) scores from 5.65 to 3.95 and decreased forward head posture by 9°. Similarly, participatory ergonomic approaches increased straight back posture from 59% to 75% of work time, with a 98% participant satisfaction rate. Educational strategies combining short workplace demonstrations, reminder media, and physical exercises proved more effective than conventional training methods. Theory-based weekly training sessions reduced the proportion of high-risk workers from 60% to 21% within three months. The study concludes that structured work posture education based on behavior change theories effectively enhances ergonomic awareness among home-based workers and significantly reduces health risks associated with poor posture.

This study aims to examine how the process of integrating character values in Islamic Jurisprudence learning at MI Az-Zainiyah III Probolinggo and identify the factors that influence it. The approach used is descriptive qualitative, with six research subjects, consisting of the head of the madrasah, the vice head of the madrasah for curriculum, the Islamic Jurisprudence subject teacher, and three students from grade IV totaling 26 students. Data collection techniques were carried out through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the integration of character values in Islamic Jurisprudence learning is carried out through two main stages, namely planning and implementing learning. At the planning stage, the teacher has included character values in the Learning Implementation Plan (RPP) as part of the learning objectives. While in its implementation, internalization of character values is carried out in stages starting from the opening, core, to closing activities of learning, with the aim of forming the character of students. The teacher also provides stimulus in the form of interactions that support character formation during the learning process. In its implementation, the teacher uses various methods such as lectures, discussions, demonstrations, and questions and answers, and applies a scientific approach to encourage student activity, so that character values can be more easily embedded. The factors that influence the integration of character values are divided into two, namely supporting and inhibiting factors. Supporting factors include madrasah activities that support character formation and a conducive school environment. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include limited learning time, diverse student backgrounds, and readiness in learning planning.

One of the causes of stunting and wasting problems in toddlers is a lack of nutritional intake over a long period of time. Stunting is caused by malnutrition in the womb and usually begins to appear when the child is two years old. One effort that can be made is to increase knowledge about nutrition and good eating patterns. Adequate nutritional intake does not have to be expensive, and fulfilling adequate food intake is very important for women before marriage. This is because women will be mothers who educate and raise children. Mothers have an important role in choosing food for the family, so knowledge about nutrition is very important. The aim is for the community or target partners to know in advance about the problems that exist in the target location and to introduce solutions to the partner's problems. In this activity, there is education or counseling for mothers of toddlers and cadres about stunting and how to control it. The method used is a demonstration of making local food products as an alternative snack for toddlers. The activity was attended by 34 mothers of toddlers in the Wanaraja Community Health Center area.  The stages carried out from start to finish are an assessment of the local food potential of the local area, a cooking demonstration for making PMT and an evaluation of implementation. The results of the activity showed that 34 mothers of toddlers who took part in the training implemented the creation of local food PMT menus in their respective places. Community health centers need to create a continuous training schedule so that cadre mothers are more motivated to make PMT menus from local food.
