Anemia in pregnancy is a condition where the hemoglobin (Hb) level in the blood is less than normal and the hemoglobin (Hb) level in the mother has decreased from the normal Hb level, namely 11 g/dI. One of the main and common causes of anemia in pregnant women is a lack of nutrients. Iron in the body is caused by a lack of food sources that contain sufficient iron, but food sources that have low iron content, so that less iron is absorbed. Apart from the lack of food containing iron, routine antenatal care also influences the occurrence of anemia in pregnant women. Effective antenatal care provides a solid foundation for midwives to first assess the needs of pregnant women and families. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between diet and regular antenatal care with the incidence of anemia in pregnant women in the working area of the Maron Community Health Center. The design of this study was cross sectional. The population in this study were all pregnant women who were in the working area of the Maron Community Health Center, totaling 79 respondents. The research sample included 44 respondents of pregnant women who were in the working area of the Maron Public Health Center. With random sampling technique. The instruments used were questionnaires and KIA books. The research results show that almost all anemic pregnant women have poor eating patterns and irregular antenatal care. Based on the chi square statistical test, it is known that the P value is 0.000 α 0.05, so HO is rejected and HI is accepted that there is a relationship between diet and antenatal care with anemia in pregnant women in the working area of the Maron Community Health Center. It is hoped that the results of this research can be used to increase insight into health science, especially midwifery, that a good diet and regular antenatal care are very necessary to prevent risks that will occur during childbirth.

Community service has been carried out by the service team involving students from the Padangsidimpuan Midwifery Study Program, Poltekkes Kemenkes Medan. The community service activities carried out were to provide counseling and demonstrations about Endorphine massage which is a light touch or massage therapy that is quite important to be given to pregnant women, in the time leading up to and during childbirth. This massage can stimulate the body to release endorphin compounds which are pain relievers and can create a feeling of comfort. Endorphins in the body can be triggered through various activities, such as deep breathing and relaxation, and meditation. Endorphine massage should be done to pregnant women who are 36 weeks pregnant. Because endorphin massage can stimulate the release of the hormone oxytocin which can trigger the labor process (Kuswandi, 2014). This Community Service aims to demonstrate endorphin massage to reduce pain in mothers giving birth in the first stage in the Pintu Padang Health Center work area, South Tapanuli Regency. Target pregnant women in the third trimester, young couples, Participants 40, endorphin massage is expected to be implemented in the management of the first stage to reduce pain and speed up the labor process.

This community service is carried out in collaboration with partners used as the location of this activity, namely Kalurahan Pintu Padang, Batang Angkola District, South Tapanuli Regency and Health Cadres, Village Midwives at the local Health Center. This activity received a positive response from local participants, and as a follow-up, it can be carried out by Health Cadres and midwives at the Health Center to monitor the skills that have been obtained when pregnant women are in the labor process that will be undergone

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (“OIC”) seeks to enhance economic collaboration between its member states, as outlined in the OIC Charter. Its key efforts is the Agreement for Promotion, Protection and Guarantee of Investments among OIC Member States (“OIC Investment Agreement”), which provides safeguards for cross-border investments and outlines procedures for resolving disputes between investor-states. Article 17 of the Agreement allows for dispute resolution through conciliation or arbitration. However, the lack of a dedicated dispute resolution body and clear procedural mechanisms has led to uncertainty and differing interpretations, weakening its effectiveness. This article explores the OIC’s role in investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) under the Investment Agreement. It highlights the need for a more structured and permanent mechanism to ensure fair and consistent resolution of ISDS cases, in alignment with the objectives of the OIC Charter.

The elderly group (elderly), aged 60-69 years, is part of the community that is vulnerable to various health problems, both physically, mentally, and socially. Untreated health problems can reduce the quality of life and become a burden for individuals and society. In Borisallo Village, Parangloe District, Gowa Regency, there are around 320 elderly residents. Through the Community Service (PKM) program of the Fostered Village in collaboration with the Borisallo Village Government and funded by the UMI Endowment Foundation, a series of activities were carried out to improve the quality of personal health of the elderly. The activity was carried out in November 2024 at the Borisallo Village Hall and included two main forms, namely: (1) elderly health checks covering blood glucose, cholesterol, uric acid, blood pressure, body temperature, and weight; and (2) counseling on the importance of maintaining overall health quality. Although only 15 participants registered for the counseling, the number of participants who attended exceeded expectations, indicating high enthusiasm from the community. The results of the examination showed that some elderly people required medical follow-up for further treatment. The program also emphasizes the importance of regular and continuous monitoring of the health of the elderly so that their condition can be monitored objectively and early intervention can be carried out.

The This study examines the debate surrounding the first created being in Islamic cosmology, where various opinions exist. Some argue that the first creation was the Pen (al-Qalam), while others claim it was the Throne (‘Arsh), the air, or the Light of Muhammad (Nur Muhammad). The main issue addressed is the limited and fragmented information found in classical hadith sources regarding the sequence and nature of the initial creation. Methodologically, this research employs a qualitative approach by analyzing the chapter Bad’ al-Khalq (The Beginning of Creation) in key hadith collections. The findings show that although some hadiths mention early creations such as the characteristics of heaven and hell, the seven layers of the earth, and angels, detailed and systematic narratives about the order of the first created beings remain scarce. Various views on who or what was created first appear in the literature, ranging from al-Qalam and ‘Arsh to Nur Muhammad, but no absolute consensus has been reached. This study aims to fill that gap by compiling and analyzing relevant hadiths to provide a more focused and in-depth perspective on the first created being and the sequence of creation. Additionally, this research emphasizes the theological and cosmological significance of these beings and their implications for understanding the structure and purpose of the universe. It is hoped that the results of this study will enrich the body of Islamic scholarship and encourage deeper reflection on the orderliness and existence of Allah’s creation.

Infant anxiety following routine immunizations, such as DPT vaccination, can lead to distress, prolonged crying, and negative behavioral responses, affecting both the child and caregivers. Non-pharmacological interventions, including aromatherapy, have been explored to alleviate such anxiety. This study aimed to examine the effect of lavender aromatherapy inhalation on anxiety levels in infants after DPT immunization at Puskesmas Rum Balibunga Tidore. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test measurements was employed, involving 30 infants aged 2–6 months. Anxiety was assessed using a validated observational scale, focusing on behavioral indicators such as crying duration, facial expressions, and body movements. Lavender essential oil was administered via inhalation for five minutes immediately after immunization. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests to evaluate changes in anxiety scores before and after the intervention. The results demonstrated a significant reduction in infant anxiety following lavender inhalation, with mean scores decreasing from 14.5 ± 2.8 to 9.3 ± 2.1 (p < 0.001). Behavioral indicators, including the frequency and duration of crying, were also markedly reduced, supporting the effectiveness of the intervention. These findings align with prior research indicating that lavender essential oil can modulate the autonomic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress responses. In conclusion, inhalation of lavender aromatherapy effectively decreases post-immunization anxiety in infants. Incorporating this intervention into routine vaccination procedures at community health centers offers a safe, non-invasive, and culturally acceptable method to improve infant comfort and enhance the overall immunization experience.

Instant noodles, categorized as part of ready-to-eat cuisine, represent a form of food that is conveniently packaged, easily served, practical, and prepared in a straightforward manner. Despite their convenience, instant noodles fall short of being considered a comprehensive food option due to their inability to fulfill the body's well-rounded nutritional requirements. A typical serving of instant noodles primarily consists of elevated levels of carbohydrates and protein, yet lacks sufficient energy, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The consumption of instant noodles is driven by the time constraints faced by a majority of consumers, preventing them from indulging in a complete meal and preparing it from scratch. Regularly consuming instant noodles may pose health risks and hazards, given their inclusion of preservatives and low nutritional content. This study employs quantitative research methods, adhering to scientific principles by being concrete, empirical, objective, measurable, rational, and systematic. Quantitative approaches prioritize the analysis of numerical data, subsequently processed through suitable statistical methods. In conclusion, the statistical analysis conducted reveals that both preference (X1) and suitability (X2) jointly exert a significant impact on packaging quality (Y) within the scope of this research. However, it is crucial to note that 51.1% of the variation in Y remains unexplained by these two independent variables, suggesting that other factors may also contribute to determining the quality of packaging.

Adolescent girls are susceptible to nutritional and psychological problems due to changes during puberty. Selective eating behavior and negative body image perceptions may affect nutritional intake, potentially leading to eating disorders and mental health issues. This study aimed to examine the relationship between food selectivity and body image with nutritional status in adolescent girls. A quantitative, cross-sectional design was used, involving 89 purposively sampled female adolescents aged 15–19 years from a population of 790. Anthropometric measurements were conducted using a microtoise and a digital scale, and data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results showed that 17.5% of participants were undernourished. There was no significant association between food selectivity and nutritional status (p = 0.454), but a significant association was found between negative body image and abnormal nutritional status (p = 0.001). In conclusion, body image is significantly associated with nutritional status, whereas food selectivity is not, among adolescent girls at SMA Negeri 2 Palu.  

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a permanent, non-progressive motor disorder that occurs due to brain damage experienced before, during, or after birth. This condition is generally characterized by activity limitations and can be accompanied by various other disorders, such as delayed cognitive development, visual impairment, speech disorders, and neuromuscular disorders. Management of cerebral palsy is usually multidisciplinary, including physiotherapy, behavioral therapy, speech therapy, nutritional management, pharmacotherapy, and surgical intervention, with the aim of improving the patient's quality of life. This case report discusses a male patient, An. AZ, aged 4 years and 6 months, who was brought by his parents to the Emergency Department of Cut Meutia General Hospital, North Aceh with the chief complaint of seizures that had occurred two days before admission and had worsened in the past day. The patient had been diagnosed with cerebral palsy since early childhood and regularly underwent physiotherapy. From the anamnesis, it was revealed that the patient experienced weakness on the left side of the body, which was more dominant than the right side. This condition is consistent with the manifestation of hemiplegia in cerebral palsy patients. Physical examination revealed delayed motor development, increased muscle tone on the left side, and enhanced pathological reflexes. Acute seizure management included administering anticonvulsant medication according to protocol, monitoring vital signs, and close observation in the inpatient ward. In addition to pharmacological therapy, the patient was advised to continue regular physiotherapy to maintain motor function, prevent contractures, and support the development of daily activities. This case emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach to the management of cerebral palsy, particularly when complicated by seizures. Integration of acute medical care, rehabilitative therapy, and family support plays a crucial role in improving the patient's quality of life.

This article discusses the importance of balance between body and soul in Islamic education by referring to the thoughts of Imam Al-Ghazali. In Al-Ghazali's view, education is not just a process of transferring knowledge, but a comprehensive effort to form a complete human being through the development of physical, intellectual, and spiritual aspects. The soul is positioned as the main center of personality development, while the body plays a role as a means to support the implementation of spiritual and social tasks. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method to examine in depth the works of Al-Ghazali and other supporting literature. The results of the study show that Al-Ghazali's thoughts on the balance of body and soul are very relevant to be applied in the modern education system, especially in responding to the challenges of dehumanization and value crises. The integration of spiritual and physical dimensions in education can be a solution in forming students who are not only intellectually intelligent, but also emotionally and spiritually mature.

This study aims to determine the relationship between arm muscle strength and long service ability in badminton among students of SMP Negeri 2 Tondano. Long service is one of the essential basic techniques to master in badminton, particularly in singles play. Arm muscle strength is suspected to be one of the determining factors for the success of the long service technique. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational method. The sample consisted of 20 students selected through a selection technique based on specific criteria such as body height and basic long service skills. The instruments used were a 30-second push-up test to measure arm muscle strength and a badminton long service accuracy test to assess long service ability. The correlation analysis showed a correlation coefficient value of r = 0.22, which falls into the low category, with a contribution of 4.84% to long service ability. The t-test result showed a t-count of 0.95, which is smaller than the t-table value of 2.101, indicating no significant relationship between arm muscle strength and long service ability. Therefore, other components such as wrist flexibility, stroke technique, and accuracy are considered dominant factors in achieving an effective long service.

The incentive program for Al-Qur'an Education Park (TPQ) teachers in Batam City is part of a regional policy aimed at supporting the role and function of Al-Qur'an teachers in fulfilling Al-Qur'an literacy certification and basic religious understanding for elementary and secondary school students. This program has been implemented since 2009 and has experienced a gradual increase in incentive values until 2024. However, in Nongsa District, the implementation of this program still faces several obstacles. Identified problems include delays in fund distribution, inaccurate data verification, and inaccurate targeting of incentive recipients. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the incentive program managed by the Al-Qur'an Teacher Consultative Body (BMGQ) of Nongsa District by the Batam City Government. The research method used is qualitative, with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, documentation, and observation. The results show that this program has had a positive impact, especially in increasing teachers' teaching enthusiasm, helping their economy, and maintaining the sustainability of Al-Qur'an education in the region. However, the effectiveness of program implementation is not yet optimal. Obstacles identified include a lack of publicity regarding the program's objectives to the community and beneficiaries, limited incentive recipient quotas, the lack of a real-time data monitoring system, and delays in the document signing process (amprah), which has delayed incentive disbursement. Therefore, ongoing evaluation by the local government and the BMGQ (Regional Teachers' Association) is necessary to ensure that incentive distribution is more targeted, equitable, and in line with the program's initial objectives, so that all TPQ teachers in Nongsa District can experience maximum benefits.
