A comprehensive analysis of the impact of obesity on school-age children as well as the effectiveness of nutrition education interventions in an effort to mitigate its prevalence. Child obesity, which is based on Body Mass Index (BMI) above 2 standard deviation (SD), has broad implications for physical, social, emotional, and self-esteem health. This condition is also associated with decreased academic performance, reduced quality of life, limb growth disorders, sleep disfunction, sleep apnoea, respiratory complications, as well as accelerated bone maturation and sexual maturity.The findings show that school-based nutrition education is an effective strategy in increasing knowledge and delivery of nutrition interventions, especially when supported by all elements of the school. The duration and frequency of exposure to interventions are crucial factors for the success of nutrition education in triggering behavioural changes. Therefore, the prevention and management of obesity in children through structured nutrition education is essential.

Advances in digital technology have brought major changes in human life, including in communication behavior and daily activities. Gadgets such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops are now widely used, including by children and teenagers. However, uncontrolled use of gadgets has a negative impact on physical and mental health. This study aims to examine various diseases and health problems that arise due to the use of gadgets in children and adolescents, through the analysis of ten scientific articles. The results of the study showed various symptoms and disorders including headaches, visual impairments, obesity, stress, anxiety, insomnia, as well as concentration and emotional disorders. Lack of parental supervision, lack of digital literacy, and unfettered access to digital content exacerbate this impact. Prevention through active involvement of family and school, education on healthy use, and time management are important steps in minimizing health risks due to gadgets.

The European Green Deal is the European Union's strategy to reduce the impact of climate change and carry out major reforms in the agricultural sector. However, small and medium-sized farmers are suffering losses due to shift to more environmentally friendly agricultural system, stricter regulations, reduced subsidies, and restrictions on chemical fertilizers. In this journal, it can be seen how EGD policies create economic and social vulnerabilities that could threaten food security and the internal stability of the European Union. The methods used are a qualitative approach and descriptive analysis of the impact of green deal policies, which affect farmers and the general public. Data collection was conducted through a literature review of previous studies related to the impacts of the Green Deal. This journal discusses four key areas, the transformation of Green Deal policies, economic vulnerabilities faced by farmers, emerging social-political resistance, and implications for non-traditional security. The research indicates that while EGD policies aim to address climate threats, their implementation has led to non-security issues. A balance between climate and long-term food security is needed. To address social and economic changes at the domestic and regional levels, this study emphasizes the importance of inclusive and adaptive green transition policies.

Population density on the banks of the Ciliwung River, especially in the Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta, continues to experience a significant increase. This study aims to analyze the impact of population density on flood frequency and environmental degradation in the area. The method used is a mixed approach with descriptive-analytical methods, then data is collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the high population density on the banks of the river narrows the water flow and increases the volume of household waste that is directly discharged into the river, thereby exacerbating the risk of flooding and reducing the quality of water and the surrounding environment. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of cooperation between the government, community, and other stakeholders in settlement planning, waste management, and environmental education and monitoring on an ongoing basis as an effort to mitigate flooding and improve the environment in the riverbank area

This study aims to analyze the economic and social impacts within the environmental context on the sustainability of catfish farming in Basanah Village. Environmental issues such as water quality, land availability, and land-use changes have significantly affected aquaculture practices. Moreover, the social dynamics of the surrounding community, including patterns of cooperation, public perception of catfish farming, and economic impacts on farmers’ income and welfare, are central to the investigation. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach through field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving local farmers, community leaders, and relevant stakeholders. The findings reveal that economic aspects, such as production cost efficiency and income improvement, are highly dependent on stable environmental conditions and strong social support. Conversely, environmental degradation and weak social participation hinder business development. Therefore, participatory-based policies integrating sustainable environmental management with the strengthening of local socioeconomic capacities are urgently needed. This study offers a significant contribution as a foundation for formulating empowerment strategies for environmentally and socially-based small-scale aquaculture enterprises at the village level.

In this study, a women's empowerment program for fisherwomen in Domas Village, Serang Regency, was used to investigate the impact of village fund management on improving the welfare of coastal communities. This research stems from an awareness of the importance of villages in realizing sustainable development that relies on local potential, especially in vulnerable and marginalized coastal areas. To improve community welfare, including that of women who have been less involved in village development processes, effective, efficient, transparent, and accountable management of village funds is crucial. The research method employed was qualitative, with data collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentary studies. The research results show that the management of village funds in Domas Village has brought many benefits, such as the establishment of BUMDes shrimp farms and catering services, which can create jobs and increase local revenue. However, women's participation in village programs is still limited to certain industries such as beauty services and seafood processing. To achieve optimal women's empowerment, key barriers include limited human resources, limited access to capital, and the lack of integration of women's SMEs into the village funding structure. The results indicate that an inclusive and locally-driven approach to village fund management can enhance community well-being more equitably and drive sustainable socio-economic transformation.
