This journal explores the role of the Church Unity Body in strengthening the unity of Christian faith. The Church, as the body of Christ composed of various members from diverse backgrounds and traditions, is called to unite in one faith, one teaching, and one way of life aligned with the teachings of Christ. This unity is crucial for maintaining harmony within the community of believers and for addressing social and theological challenges in the modern world.The role of the Church Unity Body is evident through Bible teaching based on enduring truth, participation in sacraments such as Holy Communion and Baptism, as well as collaboration among churches in social service and mission. In this context, the church functions not only as a place of worship but also as a community that supports spiritual growth and the well-being of its members. The unity of Christian faith requires mutual respect, forgiveness, and humility among church members. By strengthening this unity, the church can provide a clearer testimony to the world, demonstrating that in Christ, differences can be reconciled in love that transcends all. This article also highlights the importance of the church’s role in building a unity of faith that goes beyond denominational boundaries, within the framework of ecumenism, to realize the wholeness of the body of Christ and bring about transformation in the world.

This study aims to analyze how socially constructed beauty standards shaped by media, popular culture, and the surrounding environment affect the social cognition of university students in evaluating peers who deviate from mainstream beauty norms. Within the campus environment, students often bring visual biases and prejudices toward others based solely on physical appearance, such as skin tone, body shape, and fashion style. This study adopts a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with four students from the State Islamic University of North Sumatra (UINSU) with diverse backgrounds.The results show that most students initially form judgments based on social schemas influenced by social media, past experiences, and peer environments. However, some participants demonstrated a shift in perspective after engaging in personal reflection, studying social psychology, and experiencing more diverse social interactions. They began to exhibit more empathetic attitudes and fairer judgments. This study highlights the importance of higher education in fostering critical awareness and promoting inclusive values and social sensitivity within academic environments.

Obesity can occur in all age groups. Obesity can have an impact on an individual's physical health, as well as social and economic well-being. Energy intake constitutes a critical component in supporting the body's physiological functions and overall health. Energy is obtained from the foods and beverages a person consumes, which contain various food ingredients. However, some of these ingredients such as sugar, salt, and fat can pose health risks when consumed in excess of the recommended daily limits. This literature aims to review and analyze research findings related to the intake of sugar, salt, and fat in relation to obesity. The articles reviewed were published in both Indonesian and English within the last five years (2021–2025), and were sourced from online databases. The majority of the studies reviewed indicate a correlation between sugar, salt, and fat intake and obesity.

Worm disease is included in the neglected diseases group, which is a chronic infection that often does not show clear symptoms and the impact is only felt in the long term. Worms included in the Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) group can spread through the soil and include Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, hookworms (Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale), and Strongyloides stercoralis. This worm infection can cause malnutrition, impaired child growth, decreased cognitive abilities, iron deficiency anemia, and reduced learning performance. One indicator of worm infection is an increase in eosinophil levels, which are part of the body's immune system. This study aims to analyze the relationship between Ascaris lumbricoides infection and the number of eosinophils in stunted children in Noelbaki Village, Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. This study used an analytical observational design with a case-control study approach, involving stunted children as subjects. The results showed the prevalence of Ascaris lumbricoides eggs of 51.3%, and an increase in abnormal eosinophils of 87.5% in cases of infection. Statistical tests revealed a significant relationship between A. lumbricoides infection and eosinophil count (p = 0.000). However, this study did not consider the possibility of allergy as a factor in increasing eosinophils.

Cancer is a malignant disease caused by the abnormal growth of cells in body tissues, making it one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The high prevalence of cancer has driven the search for new, effective, and safe anti-cancer agents, one of which involves utilizing phytochemical compounds from plants such as Java plum (Syzygium cumini), which has attracted attention as a potential anti-cancer agent due to its therapeutic potential and low toxicity. This literature review examines recent studies on the anti-cancer activity of Java plum across various cancer types through in vitro studies. The results show that Java plum exhibits several key mechanisms in inhibiting cancer cell growth, including induction of apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, inhibition of cell proliferation, ROS production, targeting of cancer stem cells, anti-inflammatory effects, modulation of epigenetic changes, and antioxidant protection.

This community service program was carried out to enhance the physical, emotional, and spiritual resilience of students (santri) at Pesantren Assyifa through integrated self-defense training. Recognizing the increasing psychological and social challenges faced by adolescents in pesantren, this program combined martial arts education with Islamic character development. Over the course of eight weeks, 36 santri participated in bi-weekly training sessions that included basic self-defense techniques, leadership drills, and reflective discussions on prophetic values such as patience (ṣabr), courage, and self-control. The program successfully improved student discipline, confidence, and peer cooperation, as measured through pre- and post-assessments and observational rubrics. Participants reported greater self-awareness and felt more empowered to respond to threats both physically and ethically. The pesantren administration expressed strong interest in continuing the initiative as part of the formal extracurricular curriculum. This activity not only strengthened the personal capabilities of santri but also aligned with the broader goal of fostering holistic Islamic education that nurtures the body, mind, and soul. The combination of physical practice and moral reflection proved to be a sustainable and transformative approach to santri empowerment.

Nutritional problems can jeopardize the survival of a country. The nutritional condition of each individual reflects the physiological demands of that individual, because if these needs are not met, nutrition-related health problems will arise. Children's health and nutritional status are interrelated. When a child's health deteriorates due to an infectious disease, their appetite is affected and they consume less food, resulting in less nutrients entering the body. Journals in this literature review used 3 databases including Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct using the words malnutrition, child, 2-5 years. The literature search was adjusted based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The search results obtained 10 journals consisting of 4 national journals and 6 international journals. The results showed that the risk factors for malnutrition in children aged 2-5 years were inadequate nutritional intake, parental education and knowledge, infectious diseases, parenting, environmental sanitation and socioeconomic factors.

This article discusses the implementation of movement and dance arts learning in Smart and Cheerful PAUD as an effort to optimize early childhood development. Movement and dance arts activities have been proven to have a positive impact on gross and fine motor skills, creativity, social-emotional, and children's self-expression. This study used observation and ability test methods on children's participation in art activities. The results showed that most children were able to follow simple dance movements, recognize musical rhythms, dare to perform, and demonstrate good body coordination. Movement and dance arts learning not only supports physical and emotional growth, but also strengthens children's love for local culture. Therefore, movement and dance arts need to be made an integral part of the PAUD curriculum in a structured and enjoyable way, so that they can have a holistic impact on children's development.

This study aims to examine the implementation of kinesthetic and visual-spatial intelligence learning in early childhood. The background of this research is the importance of developing multiple intelligences in early childhood, especially kinesthetic and visual-spatial intelligence which often receive less attention in formal learning. The research methods used include limited participatory observation, in-depth interviews with teachers, and documentation of children's work and lesson planning documents. The results of the research at TKIT Siti Khadijah show that the learning activities designed consistently support the development of children's multiple intelligences. A case study of a child named Abbil showed significant progress in visual-spatial intelligence through coloring activities, assembling lego blocks, and basic introduction to visual programming. In the kinesthetic aspect, Abbil showed good body coordination through morning exercises and traditional games such as engklek, as well as social-kinesthetic skills in group games. This study concludes that developing kinesthetic and visual-spatial intelligence through a holistic and fun learning approach can help children reach their full potential.

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a collection of physical and emotional symptoms occurring prior to menstruation that can disrupt daily activities. Dietary patterns and nutritional status are known to influence PMS symptoms. This study aims to analyze the relationship between dietary intake (energy, carbohydrates, protein, fat, magnesium, and vitamin B6) and nutritional status (based on Body Mass Index/BMI) with the incidence of PMS among female students from both health and non-health study programs at Universitas Airlangga. This research employed an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design. A total of 103 female students from the 4th semester of the Nutrition and Islamic Economics study programs were selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires on respondent characteristics, a Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), anthropometric measurements, and the Shortened Premenstrual Assessment Form (SPAF). Data analysis was performed descriptively and inferentially using Spearman's rank correlation test. The results showed a significant relationship between energy intake (p = 0.002) and fat intake (p = 0.001) with PMS. No significant relationship was found for carbohydrate, protein, magnesium, and vitamin B6 intake (p > 0.05). Additionally, nutritional status based on BMI was significantly associated with PMS (p = 0.001), indicating that both underweight and overweight students were more likely to experience PMS. These findings highlight that imbalanced energy and fat intake, as well as abnormal nutritional status, may be contributing factors to PMS. Therefore, increasing awareness of proper nutrition and reproductive health is essential to reduce PMS symptoms among female students.

Digital animation technology is increasingly advancing, as evidenced by the proliferation of animated films worldwide. This is also true in Indonesia, where the production of animated films has increased significantly due to the improvement and ease of digital animation technology. One of the most important parts of the animation process is the rigging process, which involves creating a skeleton for the character or object so that it can move and appear lifelike. The rigging process in the short animated film "The Relativity Of Reality" tells the story of Rei, a young boy who discovers advanced technology from a secret organization. However, the owner of the technology comes to take it back, leading to a struggle and chase. Rei decides to escape but is cornered and a battle ensues. The characters in the film are animated using rigging techniques, utilizing the Bendy Bone feature in the Blender application. This feature is useful in creating a rigged system for characters and objects. The result of applying rigging with the Bendy Bone feature is that characters move more fluidly, not only in the legs, body, and arms but also in the face. Therefore, the use of bendy bone and facial rigging in characters will make it easier to produce animations. In addition, rigging can also be applied to other moving objects such as cars, skateboards, doors, and cabinets.

This study aims to analyze working posture and the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among wide-body fairing maintenance operators at PT GMF AeroAsia. Manual handling during aircraft maintenance often causes non-ergonomic postures that increase the risk of injury to the musculoskeletal system. The Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method was used to quantitatively assess postural risk, while the Nordic Body Map (NBM) identified subjective discomfort reported by workers. Results showed that most complaints occurred in the right hand, back, and neck, with risk levels ranging from moderate to very high. Based on these findings, recommendations include workstation redesign, use of assistive tools, and ergonomic training to help reduce MSD risks and improve workplace safety. This study contributes practical insights into ergonomic applications, particularly in the aircraft maintenance industry.

At preschool age, the development of kinesthetic intelligence is strongly influenced by stimulation provided through varied physical activities and games. One approach that can be used by teachers is through games, especially obstacle games or handicap games. These games are designed to provide structured physical challenges, so that children are encouraged to develop gross motor skills, balance, agility, and overall body coordination. This study aims to determine the improvement of grossmotor skills through simple obstacle games. This research is a Classroom Action Research (PTK). The subjects in this study were children in the age range of 5-6 Years at ABA Bustanul 10 Medan Kindergarten ,namely 10 people .Datacollection was done by observation and non-test. This observation is used to determine the ability ofstudents in gross motor skills, the data is analyzed by the percentage formula. The result soft here searc hobtain edwere BB 30%, MB 40%,BSH 20%,BSB 10%.IncycleI and in cycle II BB 0%, MB 20%, BSH 20%, BSB 60%. Gross motor skills in developing kinesthetic intelligence of children aged 5-6 years through simple obstacle games in cycle I only reached completeness with a value of 10% (Less), and in cycle II it increased classically with a value of 60% (Very good). Thus the improvement of gross motor skills of children aged 5-6 years through simple obstacle games can improve gross motor skills in developing kinesthetic intelligence of children aged 5-6 years.
