Excessive caffeine consumption among university students can lead to negative health effects such as sleep disturbances, anxiety, and dependency. To address this issue, a workshop was conducted to introduce infused water as a healthier alternative to caffeinated beverages among students at the Faculty of Public Health, Halu Oleo University. The program aimed to increase awareness about the benefits of infused water in supporting hydration and energy levels naturally, without caffeine's side effects. The workshop utilized three methods: lectures, practical training, and informational leaflets. Lectures provided insights into the adverse effects of excessive caffeine intake and highlighted infused water's benefits, including improved hydration and detoxification. Practical training allowed participants to create infused water using natural ingredients such as lemon and cucumber, fostering hands-on engagement and encouraging immediate application of the knowledge gained. Leaflets were distributed to reinforce the material and served as a take-home guide for participants to share with others. Evaluation of the program showed a significant improvement in students' knowledge about the health risks of caffeine and their interest in adopting infused water as an alternative. Positive feedback indicated that the materials were informative and practical for daily use. Despite challenges such as limited time for practical demonstrations, the workshop successfully achieved its objectives of promoting healthier beverage choices and equipping students with practical skills to support long-term behavior change. This program demonstrates the potential of integrating educational and interactive methods to encourage healthier lifestyle habits, positioning students as agents of change within their communities.

The dance work entitled Malungunjei’s is a new work that develops the mangunjei movement motif in one of the Manduda dance motif movements. Malungunje’si comes from one of the names of the Batak Simalungun dance motifs, namely mangunjei. Mangunjei is a movement of both hands crossed in front of the chest and both hands on the left and right sides by turning the palms of the hands. The theme of this dance work is non-literal, because the presentation of this dance work is a development or exploration of the essence of the Mangunjei motif by utilizing intensity, large volume, and wide space for movement. Malungunjei's work is a group choreography consisting of three female dancers and two male dancers, a total of five dancers who will be composed in a large group composition and a small group by paying attention to the arrangement of parts. The costumes in this choreography use hiou material and the choice of colors is more on red, black and white, all three are colors used in every Batak Simalungun traditional activity. The dance music is formatted in MIDI with patterns resulting from the development of the Batak Simalungun gonrang. This work uses the exploration method as an initial part in developing the creativity of the creation process, improvisation to find movements by chance or spontaneously, composition to arrange the movements that have been obtained, and periodic evaluation and correction of the process.

Acute respiratory infection, or ARI, is an acute inflammation that most often occurs in children. It is caused by infection with microorganisms, bacteria or viruses or without or accompanied by inflammation of the lung parenchyma (David, 2019). Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2019 shows that lower respiratory tract infections reduce life expectancy by 2.09 years in sufferers (WHO, 2019). The group most at risk is toddlers. This research uses a case study approach. Participant 1 was a three-year-old child patient who underwent ARI, data collection using interviews, observation, and physical examination. The tools and instruments used in this research were eucalyptus aromatherapy (eucalyptus oil), warm water and a family nursing care assessment format. After the data was collected, data analysis was carried out using the nursing process. The intervention emphasized airway clearance, but it was not adequate, so Eucalyptus aromatherapy was given for three days. The final evaluation was reached on the 3rd day, and the problem was resolved. The evaluation results showed that giving Eucalyptus aromatherapy to a three-year-old child who had respiratory problems was very effective so that on the third day, the child no longer experienced shortness of breath, the secretions were no longer there, and breathing became more accessible.
