Hyperuricemia contributes to various metabolic disorders, including gout and kidney disease. Detection of uric acid levels through simple screening is important for early risk identification. One non-pharmacological approach that can help reduce uric acid levels is maintaining adequate fluid intake. Uric acid level examination was performed by taking capillary blood from 104 adult participants. Results were obtained directly using the Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) instrument. Education was provided to all participants using a leaflet discussing the role of hydration in supporting uric acid excretion. The average uric acid level was recorded at 4.08 ± 1.00 mg/dL. A total of 103 participants (99.0%) were in the normal range, and 1 participant (1.0%) had high levels. Most participants have not experienced excessive urate accumulation, but still need education to maintain this status. Uric acid level screening is useful as an effort to detect the risk of metabolic disorders early. Education about the importance of fluid intake is the main strategy to maintain uric acid levels within normal limits and prevent complications due to hyperuricemia.

Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is an infectious disease that often affects the upper and lower respiratory tract. This disease is one of the main causes of death in children under five, especially in areas with less favourable environmental conditions. This study aims to map the distribution of ARI in Central Java Province using the K-Means clustering method. Through data analysis that includes inputting, transforming, processing, and visualisation, this study successfully identified three clusters of areas with different levels of ARI distribution. Cluster 0 indicates areas with low risk, such as Demak and Semarang Regency, Cluster 1 indicates areas with medium risk, such as Klaten, Magelang Regency, Pati, while cluster 2 indicates areas with high risk, including Semarang City and Surakarta City. The results of this analysis are presented as a map using QGIS to spatially visualise the distribution of ARI across Central Java. Thus, local governments can design more effective and targeted ARI prevention and control strategies.

Crime represents unlawful acts contrary to societal norms. In 2021, Jayapura City experienced a high number of criminal cases, predominantly involving crimes against property and goods. This study maps the distribution of crime rates and identifies contributing factors in Jayapura City using the K-Means Clustering and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) methods. K-Means Clustering analysis revealed five crime levels: high, relatively high, moderate, quite low, and low. North Jayapura District exhibited the highest crime rates among all districts, with Gurabesi Village similarly showing elevated criminal activity. The clustering results were subsequently mapped to visualize the spatial distribution patterns of crime. AHP analysis identified economic factors and low educational attainment as primary contributors to criminal behavior in Jayapura City. Among various intervention alternatives, job creation emerged as the most effective strategy, achieving the highest comparative value for simultaneously improving educational quality and security conditions. These findings provide crucial insights for law enforcement agencies and policymakers to develop targeted crime prevention strategies, focusing on economic development and educational improvement in high-risk areas, particularly North Jayapura District and Gurabesi Village.

Corruption is a serious issue that can hinder development and undermine good governance. This article discusses various anti-corruption prevention efforts implemented at the Office of the Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency (BPKAD) in Kotabumi, North Lampung. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate that BPKAD has adopted several preventive strategies, including increased transparency in budget management, the implementation of internal control systems, and ethics and integrity training for employees. Additionally, the use of information technology has been utilized to minimize the potential for irregularities. The main challenges in these efforts include resistance to change and a lack of awareness among some officials about the importance of anti-corruption culture. Therefore, stronger commitment from all organizational elements and support from external parties are needed to create a clean and accountable work environment.

Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) encompassing conditions affecting muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, nerves, and tendons , are a prevalent occupational health issue, particularly in roles involving physical tasks like lifting, pushing, pulling, or carrying loads. This study aims to synthesize current scientific findings on the prevalence, contributing risk factors, and effective prevention strategies for MSDs in manual handling contexts. A systematic literature search was conducted using Google Scholar, focusing on peer-reviewed journal articles published between January 2020 and June 2025. The review identified a consistently high prevalence of MSDs, with the lower back, shoulders, neck, and upper extremities being the most commonly affected areas. Key risk factors are multifactorial, including physical/ergonomic aspects (e.g., awkward postures, heavy loads, repetitive motions, prolonged exposure, vibration) , individual factors (e.g., age, BMI, injury history) , psychosocial factors (e.g., high job demands, low job control, stress) , and organizational/manegerial factors (e.g., inadequate training, poor workstation design). The findings underscore the necessity of a holistic and integrated approach to manage MSDs.  

Child marriage in Indonesia is still a serious problem despite regulations that limit the minimum age of marriage. The revision of Law No. 16/2019 sets the minimum age at 19 years, but the practice of marriage dispensation has actually increased. This phenomenon reflects the gap between formal legality and social reality which is influenced by factors such as low education, patriarchal culture, conservative religious interpretations, social pressure, and poverty. Dispensation for marriage is often granted without an in-depth assessment of the child's readiness, ignoring the principle of the best interests of the child. Law enforcement has not been effective due to the lack of legal literacy, weak supervision, and the dominance of local values. Prevention efforts require an interdisciplinary approach through reproductive health education, strengthening social protection, community participation, and synergy between institutions. Therefore, the elimination of child marriage must be a strategic policy based on the transformation of social norms and the protection of children's rights in a holistic and sustainable manner within the framework of gender perspective development and social justice.

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in pregnant women is a nutritional problem that has serious impacts on the health of both the mother and the fetus, such as increased risk of preterm birth, low birth weight, and labor complications. In Jambi City, CED cases have continued to rise year by year. This study aims to identify the determinants of CED among pregnant women in the working area of Putri Ayu Public Health Center, Jambi City. This study employed a quantitative approach with an analytical observational design using a cross-sectional method. The sample consisted of 82 pregnant women selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and anthropometric measurements using MUAC. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test to examine the relationship between independent variables and the incidence of CED. The study found that the prevalence of Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) among pregnant women was 28%. Statistical analysis revealed that infectious diseases (p=0.000), personal hygiene (p=0.009), environmental sanitation (p=0.037), education (p=0.004), occupation (p=0.000), and income (p=0.040) were significantly associated with CED in pregnant women. There is a significant relationship between infectious diseases, personal hygiene, environmental sanitation, education, occupation, and income with Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in pregnant women at Putri Ayu Public Health Center, Jambi City. It is expected that efforts to address chronic energy deficiency (CED) among pregnant women at Putri Ayu Public Health Center can be carried out through an integrated approach, including improvements in personal hygiene, environmental sanitation, prevention of infectious diseases, as well as enhancement of education, employment, and family income.

Tuberculosis (TB) is the ninth leading cause of death worldwide, surpassing HIV/AIDS. In 2016, TB-related deaths among HIV-negative individuals reached 1.3 million, while deaths among those with HIV-TB co-infection totaled 374,000. Indonesia ranks among the top five countries with the highest TB burden, accounting for approximately 5.8% of global TB cases. The TB prevalence rate in Indonesia in 2016 was 391 per 100,000 population, with nearly half of the cases occurring among women of reproductive age. It is estimated that 1–3% of pregnant women have TB, and some are also co-infected with HIV. The national target for TB elimination by 2030 is to reduce incidence to 65 per 10,000 population and mortality to 6 per 100,000 population. However, in Mimika District, the TB incidence remains high at 707 per 10,000 population, with a mortality rate of 27 per 100,000 population.This community service program aimed to improve knowledge regarding the prevention of pulmonary TB transmission from adults to toddlers living in the same household, in order to break the chain of transmission. The activity was conducted from July to September 2024 in Kamoro Jaya Subdistrict, under the jurisdiction of Wania Health Center, with 90 participants consisting of mothers with toddlers and community health volunteers (Posyandu cadres).Methods used included lectures, group discussions, and demonstrations. The educational material focused on the prevention of TB transmission in children. Participants completed a questionnaire before the activity. The results showed an increase in knowledge regarding the prevention of pulmonary TB in children.

The death penalty is one of the means of protecting society and the state in the form of prevention and action. Indonesia is one of the countries that still maintains and recognizes the legitimacy of the death penalty as a punishment for perpetrators of criminal acts. The death penalty is closely related to human rights because the death penalty is the most severe punishment because perpetrators of criminal acts will lose the right to life which is a priceless right. Therefore, there is a conflict between the imposition of the death penalty on perpetrators of criminal acts and human rights. This paper aims to determine the provisions regarding the death penalty and the protection of human rights. The type of research taken in this study is normative legal research that contains relevant issues. Normative legal research is research that is conducted by reviewing applicable laws and regulations or applying them to legal problems. Several laws and regulations in Indonesia still maintain the threat of the death penalty, although the death penalty has been criticized by human rights activists. Therefore, there is a compromise (criminal policy) in the Criminal Code, namely using the death penalty as an alternative punishment rather than the main punishment and only applies to very serious crimes.

Tackling pedophilia crimes often faces serious obstacles, especially when the perpetrator has a high social status or strong influence in society. This condition often hampers the law enforcement process, because it is difficult to hold the perpetrator criminally accountable fairly. This research is an empirical legal research by conducting interviews and observing examination files and related documents.The results of this study indicate that: (1) efforts to combat pedophilia crimes that occurred in Oesena Village have not been optimal due to weak coordination between parties. The police are overwhelmed in handling similar cases, while legal aid institutions can only provide assistance without full legal authority, even though they try through social media. As a result, the victims have not received legal justice. (2) the accountability of perpetrators of pedophilia crimes seen from the aspect of justice has not been fulfilled, both legally and socially. Legally, the perpetrators have not received appropriate punishment. This shows that the perpetrators have not been truly held accountable for their actions fairly.

Anemia remains one of the leading public health issues among adolescent girls in Indonesia, including in Pidie District. Insufficient iron intake and low awareness and knowledge of anemia are major contributors to its high prevalence. Health education is recognized as an effective strategy to improve adolescents’ understanding of anemia.Objective: This study aimed to assess the effect of health education on increasing knowledge about anemia among adolescent girls at MTsN VI Pidie, Pidie District.Methods: A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design (one-group pretest-posttest) was employed. A total of 30 first-grade female students from MTsN VI Pidie were selected through purposive sampling. The intervention involved the delivery of health education on anemia via an educational video. Knowledge levels were measured before and after the intervention using pretest and posttest questionnaires. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and paired t-test.Results: The analysis showed a statistically significant improvement in the participants’ knowledge following the intervention. The average posttest scores were notably higher than the pretest scores, indicating a positive effect of the health education intervention (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Digital media-based health education is effective in enhancing knowledge about anemia among adolescent girls. This approach is recommended for broader implementation in adolescent health promotion programs, particularly in the prevention of anemia

Acute bronchitis, a common respiratory infection, is a significant medical problem, especially among adults, characterized by the sudden onset of a persistent cough, with or without sputum production. Symptoms are self-limiting, usually mild, and resolve spontaneously within 1 to 3 weeks. Current epidemiological data in Indonesia for bronchitis are not recorded with certainty. Still, the incidence of acute respiratory infections with symptoms similar to acute bronchitis is recorded as the highest in Papua at 10.5%, and in Jakarta itself only recorded at 2.7%. This case study discusses a 20-year-old man with complaints of cough with phlegm for 1 week before coming to the health center with thin, white sputum that worsens with activity and exposure to air pollution. Complaints are accompanied by fever and headache. The patient is a light smoker and lives with the patient's brother, who has similar complaints and is also an active smoker in a house with minimal ventilation in a polluted environment due to street dust. Physical examination of the thorax found coarse rhonchi in both lung fields, which led to the diagnosis of acute bronchitis. Based on this case, it was found that the importance of complete and comprehensive treatment of acute bronchitis in men is expected to be a guide to promote treatment and prevention in cases of acute bronchitis.

Terrorism is considered a crime against humanity and poses a serious threat to the sovereignty of states as it has an international scope and impact. This crime threatens global security and peace and undermines the welfare of society, thus requiring decisive and sustained eradication efforts to protect and respect human rights at large. radicalism reflects an attitude or view that is extreme and seeks social or political change in ways that are controversial or outside the norm. Perpetrators of terrorism often have radical views and choose violent acts as a way to achieve their goals. Prevention of terrorism through deradicalization is a proactive step and requires caution with consideration of the plurality of Indonesian society and the vulnerability of plurality to social conflict.

This abstract analyzes the urgency of criminal law policy in tackling the rapidly evolving transnational cybercrime. The rapid advancement of information and communication technology has created increasingly complex, cross-border, and difficult-to-detect cybercrime modus operandi. Indonesia, as part of the global community, faces serious challenges in formulating and implementing effective regulations to combat these crimes. This research aims to identify the challenges of criminal law in Indonesia in dealing with transnational cybercrime and to formulate adaptive strategies to strengthen the existing legal framework. Normative-empirical research methods are employed with a case study approach, legislative analysis, and international legal comparison. The findings indicate that the harmonization of national laws with international standards, enhancement of law enforcement capacity, and strengthening of inter-state cooperation are key. Innovation in criminal law approaches is also needed, focusing not only on prosecution but also on prevention and recovery of losses. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the necessity of comprehensive reform in criminal law policy, encompassing substantive, procedural, and institutional aspects, to create a system responsive to the dynamics of transnational cybercrime.

Corruption, particularly in the form of the practice of selling and buying positions, has become a serious issue in the context of regional governance in Indonesia. It undermines the meritocratic system and erodes public trust in government institutions. The aim of this study is to identify the factors that contribute to the occurrence of position trading and to formulate effective prevention strategies to build a transparent and corruption-free bureaucratic system. The approach used in this research is a normative approach with legal document analysis and field research that is prescriptive and applied in nature. The findings of the study show that the high political costs in direct regional elections and the lack of transparency in the selection of positions are the main factors triggering the practice of position trading. Prevention can be achieved through strengthening the merit system, improving transparency, fostering a culture of integrity in the bureaucracy, and enhancing the protection system for whistleblowers. The implications of this research are the importance of a more effective preventive approach to corruption prevention and the need for tighter public oversight to ensure the consistent implementation of policies.

Occupational diseases continue to pose significant challenges to worker health and productivity worldwide. This integrative literature review analyzes ten selected journal articles from 2019 to 2025 that discuss the role of early detection and workplace health interventions in preventing occupational diseases. Findings reveal that medical surveillance, routine check-ups, and AI-based stress detection technologies are effective tools for identifying health risks at an early stage. Workplace interventions such as ergonomic programs, chemical exposure controls, and community-based health promotion show measurable improvements in worker health and compliance with safety protocols. The Total Worker Health® framework by NIOSH emerges as a comprehensive strategy to integrate health protection and promotion in the workplace. However, implementation gaps remain, particularly in the informal sector, due to limited infrastructure and low awareness. This study concludes that combining early detection with structured health interventions, supported by strong policy and stakeholder involvement, is key to reducing occupational disease burdens.

This article was written as an effort to publish information about the habits practised by students in order to prevent radicalism, using the method of madrasah diniyah or madin habits every Monday to Thursday. The widespread dissemination of radicalism, which is not only present in society but is also spreading to the realm of education, makes it very important to provide positive activities as a means of prevention. Therefore, madin habits have been made into a programme that is expected to be able to achieve this. Therefore, it is crucial to select appropriate and suitable habits that can shape students into religious individuals free from radical ideologies. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through literature review or library research, where the author gathered various references from journals, articles, and other sources. From this study, appropriate strategies for enhancing religious literacy can be identified. Through the weekly Thursday religious study sessions, the desired character traits that are expected to emerge in students at MA Ash-Shomadiyah are religious and civilised character traits without radical ideologies.

The management of village funds in Indonesia is a crucial issue due to the high potential for fraud at the village level, despite the fact that the funds distributed each year continue to increase. In Sojol Subdistrict, Donggala Regency, cases of corruption involving village officials show that even though regulations have been established, practices in the field are still prone to irregularities that directly impact the welfare of the village community. This study aims to examine the influence of moral sensitivity, whistleblowing systems, official competence, and organizational culture on fraud prevention in village fund management. This study uses a quantitative approach, with data collected through a questionnaire distributed to 54 respondents consisting of village officials and members of the Village Council (BPD). The results of this study indicate that moral sensitivity, whistleblowing systems, official competence, and organizational culture simultaneously have a significant impact on fraud prevention in village fund management, although the level of influence of each varies. This underscores the importance of moral integrity and reporting systems, as well as strengthening competence and organizational culture at the village level.
