The phenomenon of child labor exploitation in the textile industry is a form of human rights violation that continues to occur in various countries, including in the global supply chains of multinational corporations. This practice not only involves individual perpetrators but also demonstrates the systematic involvement of corporations through production policies, cost pressures, and disregard for labor standards. The concept of corporate complicity is relevant to analyzing the extent to which corporations can be held criminally liable for human rights violations that occur in their business activities. This study aims to examine the forms of corporate involvement in child labor exploitation in the textile industry and analyze the framework for corporate criminal liability from a national and international legal perspective. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory, conceptual, and case study approach. The results show that corporations can be considered to have participated in or assisted in human rights violations if they know about, allow, or profit from the practice of child labor exploitation. Although various international legal instruments such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights have affirmed corporate responsibility for human rights, their implementation in national law still faces obstacles, particularly regarding proving the element of guilt and imposing criminal sanctions on legal entities. Therefore, strengthening regulations, supply chain oversight mechanisms, and strict law enforcement are needed so that corporate criminal liability can be an effective instrument in preventing the exploitation of child labor and ensuring human rights protection.

Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is one of the indicators of the quality of maternal and child health services in a country. Based on data from the 2024 SDKI (Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey), the maternal mortality rate decreased compared to the previous year, from 4,482 cases in 2023 to 4,150 deaths in 2024, but this figure is still far from the 2030 SDG target. In an effort to reduce maternal mortality, the government's program is the Program for Birth Planning and Complication Prevention (BPCR or P4K in bahasa), which emphasizes community empowerment in monitoring pregnant, delivering, and postpartum mothers. In its implementation, P4K still faces obstacles, one of which is the lack of knowledge among mothers and the community regarding P4K. This also occurs in RW17, Cilendek Barat Village, where many people are still unaware of P4K. Health education interventions about the importance of P4K are one of the activities carried out to increase the knowledge of mothers and the community. Participants are pregnant women, community health workers, and neighborhood association leaders. The success of the activity is measured by assessing participants' knowledge before and after the education is conducted. After education was provided, there was an 84% improvement in participants' knowledge. This activity involved community leaders, so it is hoped that it can increase knowledge and understanding of the importance of P4K.

Urban waste management remains a major challenge in achieving a clean and sustainable environment, including in Bontoduri Sub-district, Makassar City. Waste banks, as a community-based waste management model, have significant potential to reduce waste generation while creating economic value.

Collaboration with local health authorities and community organizations is critical to sustaining these efforts and ensuring that important information reaches more families. Continuous evaluation and adaptive strategies will be essential to expanding the program's reach and effectiveness, ultimately encouraging healthier future generations and contributing significantly to stunting prevention and increased health awareness in the community.

In facing the ever-evolving challenges of the times, creative and innovative thinking has become one of the essential competencies that must be possessed by the younger generation, particularly high school students. Creativity is not only useful in academic contexts but is also highly relevant to the development of entrepreneurial spirit. The earlier students are introduced to the process of generating business ideas, the greater their opportunities to develop their potential and create employment in the future. However, not all students have adequate access to or understanding of how to generate original and applicable business ideas. Therefore, a systematic and easy-to-apply approach is needed to assist them in the process of discovering new business ideas. One creative method that can be utilized is the SCAMPER approach (Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to Another Use, Eliminate, and Rearrange). This approach is a creative thinking technique aimed at modifying or developing existing products, services, or ideas into something new and valuable. Through this community service activity, the implementation team seeks to provide training and mentoring for high school students in exploring potential business ideas using the SCAMPER approach. It is expected that students will understand the creative thinking process in the context of entrepreneurship and be able to generate business ideas that are aligned with their surrounding environment and market needs.

Hemangioma is the most common benign vascular tumor in infancy and is generally characterized by a proliferative phase followed by spontaneous involution. Although most cases resolve without intervention, treatment is required when hemangiomas cause functional impairment, ulceration, or life-threatening complications. Lingual hemangioma is a rare presentation and may result in significant feeding difficulties and airway compromise, requiring prompt and multidisciplinary management. This study aims to report the comprehensive management of a refractory lingual hemangioma in an infant, emphasizing diagnostic evaluation, therapeutic strategy, and nutritional support. A six-month-old female infant presented with a lingual hemangioma associated with progressive feeding difficulties. Prior to initiating therapy, a thorough diagnostic workup was performed, including echocardiography to assess cardiac function, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate lesion extent, and computed tomography angiography (CT-angiography) to delineate vascular anatomy. The patient initially received oral propranolol as first-line therapy; however, due to an inadequate response, combination chemotherapy with Bleomycin–Vincristine (BV) was initiated. To minimize the risk of toxicity, a 50% dose reduction was applied. Clinical evaluation demonstrated a favorable therapeutic response, with a reduction in lesion size and improvement in feeding ability after 10 weeks of treatment. No severe adverse effects were observed during the treatment period. To ensure adequate nutritional intake and support growth, enteral nutrition via a nasogastric tube (NGT) was provided throughout the course of therapy. This case highlights the importance of comprehensive diagnostic assessment, individualized treatment planning, and close monitoring in refractory hemangioma. In addition, optimal nutritional support plays a crucial role in overall patient outcomes. A multidisciplinary approach is essential for the successful management of complex infantile hemangiomas with functional complications.

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a kidney disorder characterized by massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, and hypercholesterolemia, most commonly occurring in children. This disease can be caused by various conditions, such as minimal change disease, FSGS, or lupus nephritis. This case report discusses a 16-year-old boy who experienced nephrotic syndrome with symptoms of swelling throughout his body, accompanied by decreased appetite and a productive cough. The patient presented with complaints of swelling throughout his body that began 7 days after hospitalization and was accompanied by coughing and shortness of breath. A physical examination revealed massive edema, abdominal hypertympany, and shifting dullness. Laboratory tests revealed proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and decreased serum albumin. Other supporting tests confirmed nephrotic syndrome. The patient received medication therapy including diuretics, corticosteroids in the form of methylprednisolone, and albumin. Nephrotic syndrome in children can develop gradually and requires management that includes steroids, diuretics, and close monitoring of kidney function and electrolytes. Early detection and appropriate treatment can help improve the patient's prognosis.
