Human behavior and psychological conflict often become central elements in literary works, especially in drama, where characters are shaped through tension, pride, emotion, and social expectation. Shakespeare’s Coriolanus presents a character whose sense of pride, identity, and honor creates ongoing conflict with the society around him. This study aims to analyze the forms of narcissism expressed by Coriolanus using Otto Kernberg’s fourfold theory: healthy, grandiose, vulnerable, and malignant. A qualitative descriptive method was applied through textual analysis and library research, focusing on key scenes that reveal his psychological development. The results show that grandiose narcissism is the most dominant type (36%), as seen in scenes where Coriolanus belittles the plebeians and rejects their approval, reflecting his rigid superiority as a Roman patrician. Healthy narcissism appears least (10%), found only in early moments such as his genuine pride after the battle at Corioles before political pressure intensifies his arrogance. Meanwhile, vulnerable and malignant narcissism each appear at 27%, shown when he collapses into shame after public rejection and later seeks revenge by joining Aufidius. These findings illustrate that Coriolanus’s downfall is shaped by the progression of his narcissism from pride to contempt, fragility, and destruction.

Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) in the working area of Mulyorejo Public Health Center, where an aluminum factory is located, rank first among the ten most common diseases. This study aims to analyze the influence of sociodemographic characteristics and PM2.5 exposure on ARI complaints in the aluminum factory area of Payageli Village, Deli Serdang Regency. The cross-sectional observational study involved 160 housewives living within a radius of 10–1500 meters from the factory’s chimney. The analysis included univariate, bivariate, and multivariate methods. Results showed that 58.1% of respondents experienced ARI symptoms in the past month. The average ambient (outdoor) PM2.5 concentration measured from three sampling points was 12.3 µg/m³, which did not exceed the WHO standard (<15 µg/m³). The highest concentration was recorded in the southern direction (15.5 µg/m³). Bivariate analysis indicated that education (p = 0.010), direction of house location (p = 0.001), and indoor PM2.5 concentration (p = 0.006) were significantly associated with ARI. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the most dominant factor influencing ARI was indoor PM2.5 concentration (p = 0.039), followed by education (p = 0.013) and direction of house location (p = 0.001). This study provides a scientific basis for air quality control and housing environment improvement to reduce the risk of environmentally related diseases in industrial zones.

Air pollution is an increasingly serious environmental issue in major cities, including Serang City. The decline in air quality due to motor vehicle emissions, industrial activities, waste incineration, and the reduction of green open spaces harms public health and the environment. Polluted air can cause respiratory problems, reduce the quality of life, and threaten urban ecosystems. This study aims to analyze the level of knowledge, perceptions, and behaviors of Serang City residents regarding air pollution, as well as assess their support for air pollution control policies. The methods used include a mixed-method approach through questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and participatory observation. The results of the study show that the community has a good understanding of the sources of air pollution, particularly vehicle and industrial emissions. They are also aware of the impact of pollution on health, especially for children and the elderly. However, the implementation of protective behaviors such as wearing masks is not yet consistent. Some positive behaviors have begun to develop, such as not burning trash and planting plants at home. Support for pollution control policies is also high. This study emphasizes the importance of continuous education, law enforcement, and collaboration between the government, society, and environmental communities in efforts to mitigate air pollution in Serang City.

Fantasy eyelashes are eyelashes that are used to add an accent of beauty to fantasy eye makeup. Currently, fantasy eyelashes are rarely sold on the market, and most of them are relatively expensive with simple designs. The scarcity of fantasy eyelashes at relatively high prices has led the author to innovate by utilizing mother-in-law's tongue leaf fibers as the basic material for making fantasy eyelashes. The research aims to simplify the search for fantasy eyelashes needed by the public at an affordable price while using natural materials that minimize the risk of irritation, thereby presenting an entrepreneurial opportunity. The natural material used is the mother-in-law's tongue plant. This plant is an environmentally friendly ornamental plant that is easily found in the author's surroundings, highly beneficial for health as it filters toxins and air pollution, and has high economic value. This research employs observation, literature review, experimentation, documentation, and questionnaires. The author uses descriptive qualitative analysis, presenting research results in narrative form using words and sentences. The author offers a price of Rp. 35,000 per pair, which is competitive with market prices for fantasy eyelashes. Product validation was conducted through sensory testing with three expert validators, covering aspects such as texture, shape, neatness, and a rating of 15 in the “very suitable” category. The level of preference was assessed through a preference test with 60 respondents, covering statements 1 to 8, with results ranging from 241 to 300 indicating “very liked.” This study concludes that fantasy eyelashes made from mother-in-law's tongue leaves can compete and are favored by makeup artists and practitioners.

Mental disorders constitute a significant public health issue that necessitates family support in daily caregiving processes. This study aims to analyze the relationship between family knowledge levels and their ability to care for family members with mental disorders at the Neglasari Community Health Center (Puskesmas) in Tangerang City. This quantitative research employed a cross-sectional design and involved 45 respondents selected through total sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires on knowledge (Guttman scale) and caregiving ability (Likert scale), and were analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods through the chi-square test. The findings revealed that 51.1% of families had low levels of knowledge, while 40% were assessed as unable to provide adequate care. Bivariate analysis demonstrated a significant association between family knowledge and caregiving ability (p = 0.009). These findings suggest that family health literacy plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality of care for individuals with mental disorders. The implementation of family psychoeducation programs in primary healthcare settings is therefore essential to improve both knowledge and caregiving skills within home-based care. This study contributes to the development of community-based mental health services and provides a foundation for further research on educational interventions and family support systems.

Independence refers to the freedom to act and the ability to control one’s own or a group’s activities to protect oneself or others from various diseases or conditions. Among the elderly, the ability to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADL) often declines, which in turn reduces their independence in carrying out daily activities such as dressing, toileting, climbing stairs, or moving around. One of the common health problems affecting older adults is rheumatoid arthritis—an autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation and swelling in the joints, often affecting one or both sides of the body, making it difficult for the elderly to perform routine tasks. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of independence and the incidence of rheumatoid arthritis among the elderly in the working area of Tinangkung Utara Public Health Center, Banggai Kepulauan Regency. This research employed a quantitative approach using the Chi-Square test. The study involved 50 respondents selected through a non-probability purposive sampling technique. The results of the Chi-Square analysis showed a p-value of 0.002 with a significance level of < 0.05, indicating that the research hypothesis was accepted. This finding means there is a significant relationship between the level of independence and the occurrence of rheumatoid arthritis among the elderly in the study area. In conclusion, the level of independence influences the occurrence of rheumatoid arthritis in older adults. Therefore, it is highly recommended that the elderly maintain active and independent movements as a way to keep their joints healthy and functional..

This training supports the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). The community service activity follows the UNJ Community Service Strategic Plan (PPM Renstra) 2021–2025, focusing on education and environmental initiatives. A needs analysis conducted at SMAN 1 Muara Gembong, particularly in the school canteen, revealed that many food items sold lacked attention to health and hygiene, and did not optimize local food products. Based on this, training on personal hygiene education for the school community is needed to support school entrepreneurship programs. The training uses a practical approach integrated with digital technology through poster creation. Results showed that participants increased their awareness of health and hygiene, which improved the quality of their entrepreneurial products. The training included material on personal hygiene in entrepreneurship, with educational posters as the output. Evaluation was done using questionnaires, with data analyzed descriptively. Expected outcomes include the publication of an article, mass media exposure, YouTube video, partnership recognition, intellectual property rights registration, educational posters, and a profile of personal hygiene education for the school community in canteen management.

Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of mortality in children under five, especially those living in households with active smokers. This study aims to determine the risk of pneumonia in toddlers from smoking families in the working area of Meuraxa Public Health Center, Banda Aceh City. The research used a case-control design with 33 respondents, consisting of 11 cases (toddlers with pneumonia) and 22 controls (toddlers without pneumonia). Data collection was conducted through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the chi-square test. The findings revealed that the prevalence of pneumonia among toddlers from smoking households was 33.3%. There were significant associations between pneumonia incidence and several factors, including nutritional status (p = 0.024), immunization status (p = 0.034), exclusive breastfeeding (p = 0.027), parental smoking behavior inside the house (p = 0.009), and household ventilation (p = 0.017). Toddlers who were not exclusively breastfed, had poor nutritional status, incomplete immunization, poor air ventilation, and exposure to cigarette smoke at home were at higher risk of developing pneumonia. This study emphasizes the vital role of the family in creating a healthy, smoke-free home environment that supports children's well-being. Community-based interventions and educational programs are essential to prevent pneumonia and improve the quality of life of children, particularly in urban public health areas like Meuraxa.

Bureaucratic reform is an essential step in realizing a clean, accountable, professional, and transparent government. The 2020–2024 Bureaucratic Reform Road Map has emphasized the Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform’s (Kementerian PANRB) efforts to establish a healthy bureaucracy through the strengthening of the merit system, performance management, and service digitalization. As providers of public services, Civil Servants (ASN) play a crucial role in ensuring professional public service delivery; therefore, an organized performance management system is required to achieve optimal bureaucratic reform. However, in practice, the performance management implemented by the Ministry still faces challenges, particularly concerning non-ASN personnel. This study aims to analyze the implementation of performance management in the process of structuring non-ASN personnel by the Ministry of PANRB as part of the national bureaucratic reform agenda. The research employs a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis based on literature review, legislation, and secondary data from official sources. The findings indicate that the policy of structuring non-ASN personnel, grounded in the principles of the merit system and performance management, has brought significant changes to human resource governance within government institutions. Nevertheless, its implementation still encounters challenges such as limited budget allocation, lack of integrated performance data, and uncertainty regarding the employment status and welfare of non-ASN employees. The digitalization efforts through the e-Kinerja system and national personnel data collection serve as strategic steps to enhance transparency and accountability in performance assessment. Thus, comprehensive performance management is expected to promote professionalism among public servants, improve organizational effectiveness, and realize an adaptive and integrity-based bureaucracy.

Background: Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Indonesia remains a significant health challenge, with the majority of deaths related to preventable pregnancy complications. Empowering pregnant women through increased knowledge and skills in early detection is a key strategy to encourage timely care seeking. Objective: To review and analyze policies and implementation of programs empowering pregnant women in early detection of complications in Indonesia over the past five years (2020–2025), including policy frameworks, implementation models, research findings related to impacts and barriers, and policy recommendations. Methods: A scoping review using the Population-Concept-Context (PCC) approach was conducted. The literature search included scientific publications, national policy documents, and program reports published between 2020–2025. Relevant works included quasi-experimental studies, program reports, and policy documents. Main results: Maternal empowerment programs are driven by national policies to improve maternal health literacy and reduce MMR. Implementation is often integrated into Pregnant Women's Classes (KIH) or through digital media. Educational interventions have shown significant improvements in maternal knowledge of danger signs, but challenges include the low quality and availability of educational materials, as well as issues with outreach to mothers in remote areas. Conclusion: Empowering pregnant women in early detection is an important policy initiative to reduce maternal mortality. However, standardization of the curriculum, strengthening the role of cadres, and increased digital support are needed to ensure equitable reach and effectiveness.

Although often overlooked by society, mental health is a crucial component of overall health. One of the biggest barriers to managing mental health is the societal stigma associated with People with Mental Disorders (ODGJ). High stigma can lead to negative perceptions that hinder the healing process of those suffering from mental illness. The purpose of this study was to determine how societal perceptions of individuals with mental illness in Cot Rumpun Village, Aceh Besar Regency, relate to societal stigma. This study used a cross-sectional methodology and a descriptive analysis design. Seventy respondents were selected for the study sample using a direct random selection method. The Community Attitudes Against Mentally Ill (CAMI) questionnaire measured public sentiment, and the Perception of Discrimination and Devaluation (PDD) questionnaire measured stigma. Chi-square tests were used in univariate and bivariate data analysis. The majority of respondents expressed positive attitudes toward those with mental health problems (60.0%), while low stigma toward those with mental disorders (54.3%). The results of the Chi-Square test indicate a significant relationship between community stigma and community attitudes towards people with mental disorders (ODGJ) with a value of ρ = 0.000 (ρ <0.05). Health workers are expected to conduct routine counseling and psychoeducation to the community about mental health, including how to deal with, support people with mental disorders appropriately, reducing stigma in the community environment. Local governments and community leaders are also expected to play an active role in creating an inclusive, supportive, discrimination-free social environment for people with mental disorders (ODGJ).

Business entities often face bankruptcy risks due to various factors, including accounting errors, limited experience, or small-cap transactions. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated financial conditions for many companies, such as PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk., which experienced a significant revenue decline. Additionally, individuals may face bankruptcy due to reasons like job termination or business failures. The primary cause of bankruptcy lies in the imbalance between debt and income, often worsened by poor financial planning. Government regulations can help mitigate bankruptcy risks, such as through health insurance and credit restrictions. The bankruptcy process aims to provide fair resolutions between debtors and creditors while safeguarding public interests. Bankruptcy can also offer debtors the opportunity to restructure their debt, maintain economic stability, and prevent social loss. In practice, bankruptcy involves the management of the debtor's assets by a trustee and the proportional distribution of proceeds to creditors. The application of freedom of contract and legal certainty principles in debtor-creditor relationships is crucial to ensuring a transparent, efficient, and equitable process.

Exclusive breastfeeding ensures the optimal development of children's potential intelligence. Babies without complete exclusive breastfeeding are more vulnerable to malnutrition. They face risks of both under-nutrition and over-nutrition. This study aims to determine the correlation between exclusive breastfeeding and nutritional status among infants in Kuta Cot Glie Public Health Center, Aceh Besar. This research was an analytical study with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 74 infants aged 0-6 months, selected using a Total Sampling technique. The study was conducted from May 1st to 23rd, 2025. The data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods with the Chi-Square test. Of the total 74 respondents, 44 respondents (59.5%) had a normal nutritional status. Additionally, 43 respondents (58.1%) were exclusively breastfed. The Chi-Square test showed a p-value = 0.001 < 0.05. The findings indicate a correlation between exclusive breastfeeding and nutritional status in infants. This study suggests that mothers exclusively breastfeed their babies. Therefore, mothers should also increase their knowledge by seeking information from various sources, such as clinics and professionals. This can help them understand the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding and how to prevent malnutrition in infants.

This study examines the concept of women's leadership from an Islamic and Catholic perspective and how religious values ​​influence the acceptance and legitimacy of women's leadership in the public sphere. Using a qualitative approach using a desk study method, this study analyzes religious texts, scientific literature, and case studies of the leadership of two Southeast Asian women: Megawati Soekarnoputri in Indonesia and Corazon Aquino in the Philippines. The results show that both Islam and Catholicism have complex histories and interpretations of women's roles in leadership. While conservative and patriarchal readings exist within both traditions, there is also interpretive space that allows women to emerge as leaders. The leadership of Megawati and Aquino demonstrates that women are capable of leading with distinctive styles rooted in values ​​of spirituality, morality, and service. Both demonstrate a non-confrontational yet effective leadership approach, which simultaneously opens up space for reinterpreting women's roles in religion and politics. Thus, women's leadership is not a deviation from religious teachings, but rather part of the socio-religious dynamic that demands inclusivity and equality.

Poverty is a multidimensional issue that not only involves economic limitations but also reflects violations of fundamental human rights such as the right to food, health, education, decent employment, and socio-political participation. This study aims to analyze the legal innovations implemented by the Tegal Regency Government in formulating poverty alleviation policies based on budget efficiency. Using an empirical and philosophical approach, this research views law not only as an ideal set of norms but also as a dynamic social phenomenon within society. The findings reveal that legal innovation is manifested through the strengthening of juridical aspects in regional policies, the integration and synergy of four flagship poverty alleviation programs, and the implementation of the initiative “One Regional Apparatus, One Assisted Village,” which involves all elements of local government. In addition, active community participation and the utilization of corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds from regional and state-owned enterprises serve as crucial supporting factors in enhancing the sustainability and effectiveness of poverty alleviation programs in Tegal Regency.

Increasing rural communities’ understanding of national health policy and system is a strategic step toward improving access and equality in Indonesia’s health services. Health policy education plays a crucial role in ensuring that citizens understand their rights and responsibilities as National Health Insurance (JKN) participants, as well as the mechanisms of available healthcare services. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of health policy education in rural areas, focusing on the improvement of health literacy, community participation in decision-making, and the role of health workers as facilitators. A descriptive quantitative method was applied through surveys and field observations in three villages of Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta. The findings reveal that 82% of respondents understood their JKN rights after the education program, compared to only 45% before. Major challenges included limited information media and low digital literacy among villagers. The study concludes that community education on national health policy effectively enhances public awareness of universal health coverage but requires continuous support through collaboration between local government, healthcare providers, and educational institutions.
