Hypertension is defined as an increase in systolic blood pressure of more than 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure of more than 90 mmHg, measured twice at a five-minute interval while the individual is at rest. One of the major risk factors for hypertension is an unhealthy dietary pattern, including excessive salt intake, high-fat food consumption, and insufficient intake of fruits and vegetables. Hypertension can occur in all population groups, including pre-elderly and elderly individuals. Elderly people experience a decline in physical function, increased susceptibility to diseases, environmental changes, reduced mobility, and various physiological changes that affect their health status. Pre-elderly refers to individuals aged 45–59 years who begin to experience the aging process. This study aimed to determine and analyze the relationship between dietary patterns and the incidence of hypertension among pre-elderly and elderly individuals in Keureutou Village, North Aceh. This research employed a descriptive quantitative method with a correlational analytical approach to examine the relationship between two categorical variables, namely dietary patterns and the incidence of hypertension.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that requires long-term pharmacological therapy, increasing the risk of Drug Related Problems (DRPs). DRPs can affect the success of therapy, increase the risk of complications, and reduce the patient's quality of life. This article aims to identify the use of antidiabetic drugs, the characteristics of DRPs, and their clinical implications. The method used was a literature review of articles from 2016-2026 that are relevant to the analysis of DRPs in diabetes mellitus patients. The results of the study indicate that metformin is the most widely used antidiabetic drug, both as a single therapy and in combination. The dominant types of DRPs include drug interactions, inappropriate drug selection, inappropriate dosages, omissions from therapy, and use of drugs without indications. These DRPs can cause hypoglycemia, failure to achieve glycemic control targets, an increased risk of complications, and increased duration and cost of treatment. Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that DRPs remain a challenge in the management of diabetes mellitus therapy, requiring more optimal monitoring and an active role of pharmacists through medication review to improve the safety, effectiveness, and quality of treatment.

Climate change is a change in climate conditions caused by human activities, either directly or indirectly, resulting in changes in the global atmospheric composition and changes in natural climate variability over an extended period. Coastal areas are among the most vulnerable regions to the impacts of climate change, including on public health aspects, such as an increased risk of infectious disease due to tidal flooding, abrasion, and extreme weather, as well as disruption to health service access and fishermen's livelihoods. This study aims to examine the impact of climate change on coastal community health and the adaptation strategies that have been and can be implemented. This research uses a literature review method, with data obtained through a search of articles on Google Scholar, official websites, and relevant institutions in accordance with the research theme and title. The results show that structural adaptation strategies in coastal areas such as Ulee Lheue and Gampong Lampulo are carried out through the construction of sea walls to withstand high waves and prevent seawater intrusion, improvement of drainage channels and canal systems to facilitate water flow and reduce inundation due to tidal flooding or heavy rain, as well as the construction of breakwaters to protect the coast from abrasion. In addition, non-structural adaptation through policy and education, as well as community-based adaptation such as mangrove replanting, also play an important role in strengthening the resilience of coastal communities. Although this physical development is effective in the short term, the main challenge faced is the limited local government budget for long-term maintenance and weak cross-sectoral coordination.

The development of digital payment systems has increasingly exposed elementary school students to electronic money cards, digital wallets, and QR-code payments through their families and everyday experiences. However, familiarity with payment technology is not always accompanied by an adequate understanding of digital balances, personal-data protection, and transaction security. This community service program aimed to improve elementary school students’ digital financial literacy through the introduction of electronic money and safe transaction practices. The program was conducted at SDN Margahayu XIII, Bekasi City, on June 15, 2026, involving 30 fifth-grade students. The program applied a Digital Financial Safety Lab model consisting of a diagnostic test, learning-station rotations, case-based games, balance-management exercises, confidential-information identification, and safe digital-transaction simulations. Evaluation was conducted using pre-tests and post-tests, student worksheets, performance assessments, and behavioral observations. The results showed that the students’ average digital financial literacy score increased from 48.2 in the pre-test to 88.3 in the post-test, representing an improvement of 40.1 points. The percentage of students achieving the minimum competency score increased from 13.3% to 93.3%, while 96.7% of participants demonstrated improved scores.

Background: The re-emergence of a polio outbreak necessitates a rapid response through the Sub-National Immunization Week (Sub-PIN) Polio program. Village midwives, as frontline community health service providers, play a strategic role in determining the success of this program through their influence on maternal compliance. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the role of village midwives in improving maternal compliance with the implementation of Sub-PIN Polio in the working area of UPTD Puskesmas Patek, Aceh Jaya. Methods: This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document review. The informants consisted of village midwives, mothers of toddlers, posyandu cadres, and the head of the public health center, selected using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model and validated through triangulation techniques. Results: The findings showed that village midwives effectively performed their roles as educators and motivators, successfully reducing mothers’ anxiety regarding Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) and correcting vaccine-related misinformation through interpersonal communication. As social mobilizers, midwives established cross-sector collaboration with Geuchik (village heads) and religious leaders to mobilize community participation. Furthermore, the implementation of a sweeping strategy (door-to-door outreach) by village midwives became a crucial solution to overcome geographical barriers and mothers’ work-related constraints, thereby significantly increasing compliance. Cultural closeness and community trust were identified as the main supporting factors, while adverse weather conditions and digital misinformation were the primary obstacles. Conclusion: The active and comprehensive role of village midwives is a key determinant in improving maternal compliance and achieving immunization coverage targets during public health emergencies.

Harga emas dunia merupakan faktor eksternal yang berpotensi memengaruhi kinerja keuangan perusahaan pertambangan emas, namun hubungan keduanya tidak selalu bersifat linear mengingat kompleksitas struktur bisnis dan biaya perusahaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis secara komparatif tren harga emas dunia dengan profitabilitas PT Aneka Tambang Tbk periode 2021–2025 menggunakan metode deskriptif kuantitatif dengan pendekatan komparatif tren. Data bersumber dari laporan keuangan konsolidasian audited PT Aneka Tambang Tbk tahun 2021–2025 serta data harga emas rata-rata tahunan yang diterbitkan oleh World Gold Council, dengan indikator profitabilitas Return on Assets (ROA) dan Net Profit Margin (NPM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa harga emas mengalami kenaikan akseleratif dari USD 1.793,38 menjadi USD 3.518,43 per troy ounce dengan pertumbuhan kumulatif 96,2%, sementara profitabilitas perusahaan bergerak fluktuatif dengan puncak tertinggi pada 2025. Analisis komparatif terhadap empat fase pergerakan menunjukkan hubungan yang tidak konsisten dan non-linear, di mana dua fase bergerak searah, satu fase berlawanan, dan satu fase bersifat parsial, yang disebabkan oleh fluktuasi volume penjualan, ekspansi aset yang belum produktif, dan lonjakan beban pokok pembelian logam mulia dari pihak ketiga. Penelitian ini mengimplikasikan bahwa analisis profitabilitas perusahaan pertambangan perlu mempertimbangkan struktur biaya, strategi pengadaan, dan keputusan investasi secara simultan, tidak cukup bertumpu pada pergerakan harga komoditas semata.

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that has long-term impacts on the quality of human resources in Indonesia, particularly in Pemalang Regency, Central Java. The government has implemented various nutrition intervention policies, one of which is the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) as an effort to improve the nutritional status of the population, especially school-age children, toddlers, and pregnant women. This study aims to analyze the policy of the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) as a nutrition intervention instrument in stunting prevention. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving informants from the Health Office, Education Office, schools, health workers, posyandu cadres, and beneficiary communities. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The validity of the data was tested through source and method triangulation The results show that the MBG program has a positive impact in improving community access to nutritious food, enhancing children’s dietary patterns, and increasing parents’ nutrition awareness. The program also strengthens cross-sector collaboration between local government, schools, and health facilities in efforts to reduce stunting. However, the implementation of the program still faces several challenges, such as limited supervisory personnel, budget constraints, uneven distribution, and low nutrition literacy among the community. In addition, the effectiveness of the program in significantly reducing stunting rates still requires long-term evaluation due to the multidimensional nature of stunting determinants. In conclusion, the Free Nutritious Meal Program has strong potential as a nutrition intervention policy instrument in stunting prevention in Pemalang Regency. However, its success largely depends on strengthening governance, cross-sector coordination, capacity building, and policy sustainability. Therefore, integration with other health and social intervention programs is needed to achieve optimal stunting reduction.

This study aims to describe the morphological forms of slang, explain the processes of its formation, and analyze its frequency and distribution in the TikTok content of the account @shadirafirdausi. The study is motivated by the rapid development of slang on social media, particularly TikTok, as a platform where young people express identity, creativity, and social interaction. A qualitative descriptive method was employed using documentation techniques on three TikTok videos, including captions and comments with the highest numbers of views and likes during June–August 2025. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings identified 36 slang words and phrases classified into four morphological processes: phonological modification (30.6%), shortening (30.6%), affixation (25.0%), and compounding with foreign element adoption (13.9%). Phonological modification and shortening were the dominant processes, while affixation and English borrowings further enriched the language forms. These findings demonstrate that slang in @shadirafirdausi’s TikTok content is formed through creative, productive, and adaptive morphological processes that reflect the preference of young speakers for concise, expressive, and easily understood language in digital communication.
