Indonesia is home to approximately 400 mountains that attract climbers, both local and international. The increasing number of climbers each year correlates with a rise in accidents. According to data from the National Search and Rescue Agency (BASARNAS), climbing accidents have increased over the past four years. In 2018 alone, there were 23 incidents resulting in 6 fatalities, 4 climbers reported missing, 7 climbers fell ill, and 592 climbers were rescued. Human error, such as choosing the wrong route and adverse weather conditions, remains the primary cause of climbers getting lost. To address these challenges, this research develops a GPS and Long Range (LoRa) based mountain climber monitoring system. The system utilizes GPS to track climbers' locations, heart rate sensors to monitor health conditions, and a buzzer for early warnings when climbers enter restricted areas. It also features a panic button for sending SOS signals to rescue posts. Agile Scrum methodology is employed in the system development, enabling iterative and collaborative software development. Research findings indicate that this system enhances efficiency and effectiveness in monitoring and rescuing climbers in distress, thereby improving mountain climbing safety and comfort.

Body composition refers to the various components that make up a person's body weight, such as lean mass (muscle, water, bones, ligaments, and tendons) and fat mass. As we age, significant changes occur in body composition, including increased fat mass and decreased muscle and bone mass, which often leads to sarcopenic obesity. This condition, which is common in older adults, is associated with frailty, disability, metabolic syndrome, reduced survival rates in certain cancers, and osteopenia/osteoporosis. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) method to measure the body composition of elderly participants at Hana Nursing Home, South Tangerang. A total of 40 participants underwent body composition examinations. The examination results showed that the average total body fat, visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, and skeletal muscle mass were 36.7% each; 8%; 27.6%; and 20.7%. We need to carry out routine body composition checks for early detection to provide timely management, ultimately improving long-term public health.

Aging is associated with significant changes in body composition, specifically a decrease in lean body mass and an increase in fat mass. These changes contribute to the prevalence of obesity and sarcopenia in the elderly population, impacting quality of life, morbidity and mortality. A complex interaction between hormonal decline, chronic inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, and reduced physical activity underlies these changes. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) methodology to screen for obesity and sarcopenia in the elderly at St. Mary's Church, Francis of Assisi. We use Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to measure body composition, which includes total body fat, visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, and muscle mass. Among 32 participants, the average total body fat, visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, and muscle mass were 36.5% each; 9.6%; 9.68%; and 21.5%. Body composition assessment using BIA is very important in managing the elderly's health. Preventive strategies, including tailored exercise programmes, nutritional counselling, and lifestyle modifications, are essential to maintain muscle mass and prevent excessive fat deposition, thereby improving quality of life and reducing morbidity and mortality. Keywords: Body Composition, Obesity, Sarcopenia, Elderly, Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis

The high maternal and newborn mortality rate is a burden for governments globally, considering that the maternal and newborn mortality rate is an indicator of a country's health. Various efforts have been made to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates, including reproductive health literacy, screening programs for pregnant women, improving pregnancy nutrition, and increasing accountability of health workers. This research aims to determine the level of interpersonal communication skills required by midwives, pregnant women and their families. A qualitative research approach using the case study method is used. This research involved six informants from three groups: program creators, program implementers, and program recipients. This research shows that every communicator must improve communication competencies, such as listening effectively, keeping secrets, opening up, and empathizing, to establish successful interpersonal communication between midwives, pregnant women, and the mother's family. Empathy is essential for effective communication between midwives, pregnant women and their families. The empathy in question occurs when communicators understand each other's position and do not force each other's will, giving the impression that the other party is ignoring them. Efforts to save mothers and newborn babies are a responsibility that must be carried out by all parties; This is not only the responsibility of the government, midwives or mothers of newborn babies, but collaboration is needed collaboratively so that efforts to save mothers and newborn babies can have a positive impact and bring about significant change with mutual benefits.
