The abuse of Narcotics, Psychotropics, and Addictive Substances among the younger generation is a serious issue that threatens the future of the nation. This abuse has significant negative impacts on the mental and physical development of the younger generation. Therefore, prevention efforts through education, routine counseling, and positive activities in the community are crucial. The rampant abuse of Narcotics, Psychotropics, and other Addictive Substances among students and college students has become a new problem in the education sector. According to a survey conducted by the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) and the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) in 2019, 2.3 million students or college students in Indonesia have consumed narcotics. The lack of knowledge and information among students about the effects of drug abuse is a major factor in the spread of this issue. The approach to implementing community service is carried out in several stages, including initial surveys, problem identification, needs analysis, target audience determination, and program implementation. Based on the community service activities carried out, the benefits are greatly felt. This is evident from the enthusiasm of the participants in engaging in the community service activities. The author would like to express their deepest gratitude to the Principal of SMAN 1 Kutacane, Southeast Aceh Regency, who has provided time and space and fully supported this community service activity so that it could be carried out successfully.

This article aims to explain the conditions of Gen Z in the blanket of rapid development of digitalization technology. This article uses a qualitative method with a literature study and a descriptive analytical approach. The results of the study indicate that the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) phenomenon on social media reflects symptoms of deep anxiety experienced by modern society, especially Generation Z, due to the fear of being left behind by information or trends that are considered important. In a digital world full of endless information, individuals are encouraged to stay connected and consume content that is often irrelevant, creating the illusion of engagement and validation. This phenomenon creates a great irony, where social media, which should be a tool for communication and information, has instead become a space filled with social pressure, value gaps, and artificial scenarios. The impact of FOMO can be seen in psychological aspects, such as anxiety, depression, and low self-confidence; social, in the form of a decrease in the quality of direct relationships between individuals; and physical, such as lack of sleep and reduced physical activity. However, social media also offers positive opportunities, such as increased creativity, network expansion, and the opening of new opportunities, if used wisely. To overcome the negative impacts of FOMO, efforts are needed to limit the time spent using social media, change the mindset to be more reflective and productive, and engage in meaningful activities.

Stunting is a persistent nutritional problem in Indonesia, especially among children under five, affecting the nation's human resource potential. The high prevalence of stunting leads to long-term issues in cognitive development, physical growth, and the overall productivity of the younger generation (Ministry of Health, 2023). This community service initiative seeks to enhance the role of public administration in promoting policies and programs aimed at reducing stunting. It involves education, training, and hands-on community support, coordinated with government officials, health cadres, and local leaders. The initiative utilizes local media to increase awareness about proper nutrition. The results show a noticeable improvement in community knowledge about stunting and balanced nutrition, with both officials and residents actively participating in stunting reduction efforts. This service emphasizes the importance of strengthening public administration through capacity-building, intersectoral coordination, and the use of information technology to meet program objectives. Recommendations are made for sustainable, participatory, and data-driven approaches to stunting reduction.

Adolescence is a transition period from childhood to adulthood marked by rapid physical, psychological, and social changes. One important aspect in adolescent development is mental health, which plays a role in forming healthy, resilient, and productive individuals. However, awareness of mental health among adolescents is still relatively low, as found in observations at MAN 2 Surakarta. Increasing awareness of mental health problems and support from family, friends, and the wider community is needed to create a healthy and productive young generation. From the author's observations at MAN 2 Surakarta, it was found that some students were not yet familiar with the concept of mental health, so this community service activity was carried out. Therefore, this community service activity was carried out to increase student awareness of the importance of mental health, provide education, and develop stress management skills. This activity involves delivering materials, discussions, and practicing relaxation techniques such as the butterfly hug. The purpose of this activity is to increase awareness of the importance of mental health, provide education about mental health, and also develop stress management skills. So that students are expected to be able to live a healthier and stronger life both mentally and emotionally. It is also hoped that students can become mentally strong individuals who also have positive behavior for themselves and their surroundings. The results of the activity showed an increase in students' understanding of mental health, with positive and enthusiastic responses from participants.

Adolescence is a crucial stage in individual development, where high school students often face emotional challenges that arise due to physical, psychological and social changes. Unfortunately, many teenagers do not have adequate emotional regulation skills, so they are vulnerable to experiencing difficulties in managing stress, resolving conflicts, or making wise decisions. This limited understanding of emotional regulation can have an impact on mental well-being, triggering impulsive behavior, low motivation to learn, and disruption in interpersonal relationships. Through outreach educational programs, high school students can be given practical knowledge and skills to strengthen emotional regulation abilities. This program is designed to help students recognize their emotions, develop more adaptive management strategies, and improve their ability to deal with everyday stress. With an interactive approach and in line with students' needs, this program is expected to be able to improve emotional well-being while helping students manage their emotions effectively.

Physical punishment of children, such as hitting, remains a common practice in education. This study examines the negative impact of physical punishment on learning effectiveness, psychological aspects, and students' academic performance. Research indicates that children who experience physical violence tend to suffer from anxiety, stress, and low motivation to learn, resulting in lower academic achievement. Additionally, physical punishment can lead to emotional disturbances, the development of aggressive behavior, and a decline in social skills. To reduce the practice of physical violence in schools, strategies such as implementing positive discipline, strengthening character education, and increasing awareness among educators and parents about the harmful effects of physical punishment are necessary.

This study explores Mohammad Hatta's influence on housing policies in Indonesia, highlighting his integration of Islamic principles into public policy to enhance societal welfare. Hatta viewed housing as a fundamental human right that extends beyond physical needs to encompass spiritual and social dimensions. Grounded in Islamic values such as justice (‘adl), trust (amanah), and solidarity (ta'awun), his policies aimed to ensure equitable access to adequate housing, particularly for low-income communities, while promoting holistic well-being. Hatta’s vision aligned with Islamic teachings that emphasize fairness and state responsibility in fulfilling basic human rights, as reflected in QS. An-Nisa: 58. His ideas inspired initiatives like the Sejuta Rumah (One Million Houses) Program and Tapera (People’s Housing Savings), which address housing disparities and support societal harmony. Additionally, Hatta championed cooperative-based housing development, fostering community participation and mutual assistance, which not only ensured affordable housing but also empowered local economies. By integrating Islamic principles into housing policies, Hatta demonstrated how public policy could balance material, social, and spiritual needs to achieve sustainable societal welfare. His approach offers a valuable framework for future housing programs to promote justice, inclusivity, and collective prosperity.

Febrile seizures are a common neurological condition occurring in children aged 6 months to 5 years, with an incidence rate of 2-5%. Prompt and appropriate management is crucial to prevent long-term developmental impacts. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the classification of febrile seizures and child development in the working area of the Barus Jahe Health Center, Barus Jahe District, Karo Regency, North Sumatra Province, in 2023.

Regarding seizure classification, 70% of the children had simple seizures, and 30% had complex seizures. Concerning child development, 60% showed normal development, 20% showed questionable development, and 20% required further monitoring. This study highlights the importance of appropriate management to prevent developmental issues resulting from febrile seizures.

The increasing population triggers a demand for land for housing and other activities. Along with this, issues arise regarding the limited availability of land, especially in rapidly developed areas. This limitation has the potential to create an imbalance between the growing need for space and the existing land capacity. This study evaluates the land carrying capacity in four sub-districts in the southern part of Medan City, namely Medan Tuntungan, Medan Johor, Medan Amplas, and Medan Denai, in dealing with the continuously growing population. Using a spatial analysis approach with ArcGIS 10.8 software and detailed spatial data, this research identifies potential areas for residential development and projects the capacity of land to accommodate future populations. The analysis covers physical and environmental aspects such as land slope, soil type, natural disaster risks, and access to public facilities. The results show that each sub-district has different potentials and challenges. Medan Tuntungan, with its large area and flat land conditions, shows significant potential for residential development, although attention must be given to the existence of protected areas and agricultural land that must be preserved. Medan Johor, as an economic center, faces substantial pressure on land use, with some areas nearing their maximum capacity. Medan Amplas and Medan Denai, which are more urban, experience stricter land limitations. Population growth projections indicate a significant increase in land demand in some sub-districts in the coming decades. Without effective management, this has the potential to exert high pressure on the environment and urban infrastructure. This research emphasizes the importance of spatial planning and sustainable development policies to maintain a balance between housing needs and environmental conservation.
