This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of health promotion through social media in encouraging healthy behaviors among adolescents. The discussion covers two main aspects: the urgency of health promotion through social media for adolescents, and the effectiveness and challenges faced in its implementation. The urgency of health promotion through social media is based on the high usage of digital platforms among adolescents, making it a potential tool for disseminating health information. Social media allows for quick and wide access to educational content, enhances health literacy, and encourages active participation of adolescents in maintaining their health. The study results indicate that health promotion through social media is effective in increasing health knowledge and motivating healthy behavior changes. However, several challenges need to be addressed, such as the spread of inaccurate information, limited access and digital literacy, and issues of privacy and data security. This study concludes that despite the challenges, social media has great potential as an effective health promotion tool for adolescents. Appropriate strategies are needed to overcome these challenges, including digital literacy education and the development of regulations to ensure information accuracy. Further research is recommended to explore the combination of social media with face-to-face interventions to enhance the effectiveness of health promotion

Health is a state of well-being, encompassing physical, mental, spiritual, and social aspects that enable individuals to live productively both socially and economically. Generally, in society, the understanding of clean living behaviors is still low due to a lack of information on the importance of clean living behaviors and the limited facilities that support them. Early introduction to clean living behaviors is crucial so that children become accustomed to practicing them. This community service activity is carried out to enhance the knowledge, awareness, willingness, and ability of the community, especially students of SD GMIT Bone, to engage in Clean and Healthy Living Behaviors (PHBS) and to provide facilities that enhance awareness of clean and healthy living. One way to prevent health problems is by educating children on how to wash their hands with soap and the importance of personal hygiene. The PHBS education and practice provided to children help increase their awareness of clean living behaviors and maintaining environmental cleanliness with the facilities provided.

Xerosis or dry skin occurs when the skin loses moisture, causing itching, cracking and dullness. This condition is common in the elderly due to physiological changes such as decreased activity of the sebaceous and sweat glands, as well as impaired skin barrier function.

The operation of electromedical equipment in health care centers is very dependent on the quality of electrical power. Disturbances such as voltage sags, also known as dip voltage, can disrupt the performance of sensitive electronic devices and potentially threaten the stability of a power distribution system. This study suggests the use of a Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) equipped with feedforward control to reduce voltage sags. With long flashes and significant voltage drops, simulations using MATLAB/Simulink show that the feedforward control on the DVR is able to compensate for voltage sags correctly and on time while still maintaining a stable load voltage.

This study explores the effectiveness of mask usage in preventing the spread of Upper Respiratory Tract Infections (URTIs) in school environments. The aim of this research is to evaluate how effective mask usage can be in reducing the incidence of URTIs among students and school staff. The method used is a qualitative literature review, analyzing various previous studies that discuss the impact of mask usage in educational contexts. Data were collected from academic journals, health reports, and related publications covering a range of recent years. The results of the study indicate that mask usage significantly reduces the transmission of pathogens causing URTIs in school settings, especially when combined with other hygiene practices such as handwashing and proper cough etiquette. The conclusion of this research confirms that masks are an effective tool in minimizing the spread of URTIs, and their implementation in schools can be a crucial step in maintaining the health of students and staff. This study recommends the widespread adoption of mask-wearing policies in schools, particularly during flu season or in situations of respiratory disease outbreaks.

Monetary policy in Islamic economics is an important aspect in maintaining economic stability and promoting the welfare of the people.

Chronic kidney failure is a serious health problem that not only attacks adults, but can also develop since childhood. One of the main risk factors is unhealthy living habits, including lack of personal hygiene, consumption of unhealthy food, and minimal physical activity. In order to increase awareness regarding the importance of a clean and healthy lifestyle among children, health education efforts are needed from an early age, especially in schools as an environment where children spend a lot of time. Many children do not understand the relationship between personal hygiene, diet and kidney health. Based on the results of interviews with teachers and school health staff, there are several unhealthy behaviors among students, such as rarely washing their hands, excessive consumption of sweet drinks, and low daily physical activity. In addition, only a few students understand the importance of maintaining hydration and adequate water intake for kidney health. This outreach activity will be carried out in several stages, including counseling about the importance of a clean and healthy lifestyle, demonstrations teaching correct hand washing and distribution of leaflets about information on a clean and healthy lifestyle.

This study aims to identify morphological and reproductive characters in Thallophyta and Bryophyta in UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung. Bryophytes have high species diversity and are known as the second largest group of plants after flowering plants. They play an important role in maintaining ecosystems, especially water balance and nutrient cycles, and serve as bioindicators due to their sensitivity to environmental changes. The study was conducted by taking samples of leaf lichens and crustose lichens on various substrates such as rocks, soil, and trees, then observed using a stereo microscope and binocular microscope. The results showed that Thallophyta, such as crustose lichens, have unique morphological structures and can reproduce through ascospores, while Bryophyta, such as leaf mosses, have a life cycle that includes gametophyte and sporophyte stages. Reproduction in leaf mosses occurs sexually through the antheridium and archegonium, and asexually through stolon fragmentation. In addition to their ecological role, lichens also provide important habitat for a variety of organisms and help maintain the balance of tropical forest ecosystems. The adaptation of lichens to a wide range of environmental conditions allows them to survive in various substrates and extreme situations. This study provides new insights into the role of lichens in ecosystems and their potential applications for environmental conservation and restoration. The results of this study can serve as a basis for biodiversity conservation efforts and sustainable environmental management. Therefore, it is important to take appropriate conservation measures to preserve the vital role of lichens in ecosystems and the overall health of the environment.
