Public health is a crucial aspect of improving well-being, particularly at the village level. However, in Srigading Village, Lawang District, Malang Regency, access to information related to health services remains a significant challenge, resulting in suboptimal utilization of Posyandu and Puskesmas services. To address this issue, a web application called “Srigading Sehat” has been developed as a digital platform providing health service information through interactive maps and service schedules. This community service activity employs the IDEA approach (Identify Objective, Design Action Steps, Engage Our Plan, Assess and Follow Up) as a systematic framework. The Identify Objective stage identified limitations in health information access; Design Action Steps designed a participatory learning-based application development model; Engage Our Plan implemented application development, socialization, and training for 25 participants comprising village officials, posyandu cadres, and the general community; and Assess and Follow Up evaluated achievements through Firebase Analytics monitoring. Results showed increased health information access marked by 500 health information page visits within the first 30 days of launch, with total Firebase reads reaching 631 (+1,026.8%). Four village health facilities are actively registered and using the application to independently update their service information. This application is anticipated to serve as an appropriate technological innovation contributing to the enhancement of health services at the village level.

Growing life expectancy continues to shift global demographic patterns and significantly increase the proportion of older adults, thereby creating an urgent need for innovative programs that promote wellbeing, maintain functional capacity, and encourage meaningful social participation. This community service initiative aimed to strengthen both motor and cognitive function among older adults through structured and interactive board game activities designed to stimulate thinking, coordination, and social interaction. The program employed a mixed descriptive approach, utilizing interviews, direct observation, and brief assessments conducted before and after the intervention period. Cognitive status was measured using the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), while muscle strength was assessed through Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) to capture changes in physical performance. Quantitative analysis revealed no statistically significant differences between pre-test and post-test scores (p > 0.05). Nevertheless, qualitative findings demonstrated meaningful positive changes, including increased motivation, more active participation, improved emotional responsiveness, enhanced social interaction, and greater awareness of brain–body coordination among participants. These findings indicate that although short-term measurable changes were limited, board game–based activities can provide valuable psychosocial benefits. When implemented repeatedly and consistently as part of routine programs, such activities may contribute to maintaining cognitive engagement, supporting emotional wellbeing, and fostering a more active and participatory lifestyle among older adults.

Exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of life is an effective public health intervention that contributes significantly to improving the health of both infants and mothers. Despite its well-documented benefits, the practice of exclusive breastfeeding still encounters various challenges, one of which is related to mothers’ attitudes toward breastfeeding. Health education is considered a key strategy in shaping positive maternal attitudes, which are essential for behavioral change. This study aims to analyze the effect of education on the importance of exclusive breastfeeding on mothers’ attitudes. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest one-group approach. The sample consisted of 30 mothers with infants aged 0–6 months, selected using a consecutive sampling technique. Attitudes were measured before and after the educational intervention using a Likert scale-based questionnaire. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate methods, with Fisher’s Exact Test at a significance level of 0.05. The results showed an increase in positive attitudes from 23.3% before education to 80.0% after. However, the statistical test indicated no significant relationship (p = 0.170). Nevertheless, education demonstrated potential in promoting positive attitude changes and remains important for continuous implementation.

Adolescent girls often complain of dysmenorrhea, or discomfort during menstruation, which can range from mild to severe and interfere with daily activities, especially learning. To prevent this disease from lowering the quality of life of adolescents, it must be treated. Education about dysmenorrhea and its treatment is one of the actions that can be taken. The study used a pre-experimental design approach, a quantitative research design, and a single-group pre-test-post-test research plan without a control group design. Using a proportional stratified random sampling approach, 57 female students of class X formed a research sample. The use of films on dysmenorrhea for health education serves as an independent variable of the study. Adolescent girls' knowledge and attitudes about dysmenorrhea function as a study-dependent variable. The validity and reliability of these instruments are checked. Univariate and bivariate analysis were used as data analysis methods in this study. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test is used for hypothesis testing. It was determined that health education using dysmenorrhea film had an impact on the knowledge and attitudes of adolescent girls about the treatment of dysmenorrhea based on the findings of the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test (Asymp.) with a value of 2-tailed 0.000 (p<0.05). The findings of the study showed that among grade 10 students at SMA Negeri 13 Selatan Halamahera, health education through dysmenorrhea films had an impact on the knowledge and attitudes of adolescent girls about the treatment of dysmenorrhea.

Labor pain is a significant challenge faced by in-partum mothers, with a prevalence of 70% in Indonesia, and 40% of women reporting severe pain (Central Statistics Agency, 2022). Conventional pharmacological methods often do not provide optimal results and can cause side effects. As a non-pharmacological alternative, oxytocin massage has shown promise in reducing labor pain intensity by stimulating the endogenous production of oxytocin, a natural analgesic hormone. This study aimed to assess the effect of oxytocin massage on labor pain intensity in in-partum mothers at Manado Medical Center Hospital. A pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test post-test approach was used. The sample consisted of 30 in-partum mothers who met the inclusion criteria. Pain intensity was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after a 30-minute oxytocin massage administered by trained health workers. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test. The results showed a significant reduction in pain intensity from an average of 7.23 (SD=1.08) before the massage to 4.63 (SD=1.11) afterward, with a decrease of 2.6 points. The proportion of mothers experiencing severe pain decreased from 50% to 20%, while mild pain increased from 16.7% to 46.7%. The paired t-test revealed a highly significant difference with t=10.274 (df=29), p=0.000 (p<0.05). In conclusion, oxytocin massage is an effective non-pharmacological intervention that can significantly reduce labor pain and improve the birth experience. It can be incorporated into standard maternity nursing protocols to enhance maternal care.

Breastfeeding failures frequently result in issues. Lack of information about proper breastfeeding technique is one of the issues that frequently arises in nursing women, leading to uncomfortable nipples when the infant does not suck the nipple down to the areola. According to the 2022 Indonesian Demographic Health Survey, 79.3 individuals had painful nipples. The purpose of this study is to ascertain how well breastfeeding practices work in relation to the prevalence of painful nipples among nursing moms at the South Bulango Community Health Center in 2025. This kind of study employs a cross-sectional, quantitative research approach. 47 nursing women who were chosen by accidental sampling served as the study's population and sample. There is a correlation between breastfeeding practices and the incidence of sore nipples at the South Bulango Health Center in 2025, according to the results of statistical testing using the chi-square test. The p value (0.000) is not greater than α (0.05), so H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. It is intended that the community, especially postpartum moms, would gain more understanding of the connection between breastfeeding methods and the prevalence of painful nipples in nursing moms.

Sleep disturbances are a common problem during pregnancy, often resulting from physiological changes, hormonal fluctuations, and psychological stressors. Poor sleep quality in pregnant women can lead to fatigue, mood disorders, and adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Mindfulness-based interventions, which emphasize present-moment awareness and non-judgmental acceptance, have been suggested as an effective strategy to improve sleep quality and reduce stress. This study aimed to analyze the effect of mindfulness on sleep quality among pregnant women in the Puskesmas Tosa catchment area. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group was employed. A total of 30 pregnant women in their second and third trimesters participated and were divided equally into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received weekly mindfulness sessions for four weeks, including guided breathing, body scan, and focused attention meditation, while the control group received routine antenatal care. Sleep quality was assessed before and after the intervention using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired and independent t-tests, with a significance level set at p<0.05. Results indicated that the intervention group experienced a significant improvement in sleep quality, with mean PSQI scores decreasing from 9.80 ± 2.10 to 5.60 ± 1.90 (p<0.001). In contrast, the control group showed no significant change (pretest 9.53 ± 2.30; posttest 9.27 ± 2.25; p=0.395). These findings demonstrate that mindfulness effectively reduces sleep disturbances among pregnant women by addressing both psychological and physiological contributors to insomnia. In conclusion, integrating mindfulness practices into routine antenatal care is a practical, low-risk, and non-pharmacological approach to enhancing maternal sleep quality, reducing stress, and promoting overall well-being during pregnancy. This study provides evidence to support the inclusion of complementary mind-body interventions in primary health care services.

Diarrhea is one of the diseases that remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among elementary school-aged children. A mother's knowledge as the primary caregiver is an important factor in the prevention of diarrhea. This study aims to analyze the effect of health education through pop-up book media on mothers' knowledge about diarrhea prevention in children at SDN 160 Mulyorejo II, Luwu Utara Regency. The research design used a quantitative quasi-experimental approach with a one group pretest posttest design. The population consisted of 143 mothers with children attending SDN 160 Mulyorejo II, with a sample of 54 respondents selected using stratified random sampling. The intervention was carried out by providing education using pop-up book media, followed by measuring knowledge before and after the intervention using a questionnaire. Data analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test yielded p < 0.001, indicating a significant effect of health education through pop-up book media on mothers' knowledge about diarrhea prevention. This media is effective because it combines three-dimensional visual and interactive elements that enhance mothers' interest and understanding of health material. The conclusion is that health education through pop-up book media can significantly improve mothers' knowledge about diarrhea prevention in children, and is recommended as an alternative educational medium in public health promotion.

This study aims to determine the cost of coffee production as a basis for setting the selling price in the Sarah Jaya coffee business. Accurate calculation of production costs is essential because it directly affects pricing decisions and the level of profit generated by the business. The full costing method is used to determine the cost of production, as this method provides a more comprehensive and detailed calculation by including all cost components required in the production process, such as raw material costs, direct labor costs, and both fixed and variable manufacturing Overhead costs. Determining the cost of production using an appropriate method can significantly influence the determination of the selling price and ensure that the business achieves sustainable profitability. The application of the full costing method is expected to provide practical benefits for Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), particularly in improving financial management and decision-making accuracy. The results of this study indicate that the calculation of the cost of production for the Sarah Jaya coffee business conducted by the business owner using the full costing method aligns well with the determination of the selling price and the profit generated. This is because the full costing method takes into account more detailed and comprehensive cost elements, resulting in a more realistic and reliable calculation of production costs.

Local Revenue (PAD) refers to the income obtained by regional governments from sources within their own jurisdiction, such as taxes and local levies. One of the important components of PAD is market levies, which are collected from traders as a fee for the use of market facilities. This study aims to analyze the contribution of market levies to PAD in North Toraja Regency. The method used in this study is descriptive quantitative, utilizing secondary data from the Bapenda of North Toraja for the period of 2020–2024. The results of the study show that the contribution of market levies to PAD fluctuates with a downward trend. In 2020, the contribution was recorded at 1.17%, but by 2024, it decreased to 0.71%. This decline is attributed to several factors, including increased competition from modern markets that are more attractive to consumers, a decrease in the number of buyers visiting traditional markets, and arrears from traders, which has led to suboptimal revenue collection from levies. These findings highlight the importance of efforts by local governments to enhance the appeal of traditional markets and manage levies more effectively in order to increase their contribution to PAD in the future.

This study aims to determine the cost of production for Sa'dan woven fabric using two cost calculation methods, namely full costing and variable costing. These methods are applied to analyze the cost differences involved in the production process. Data were collected through observation and direct interviews with the weavers. Based on the research findings, the cost of production per sheet of woven fabric using the full costing method is Rp 316,800, which includes the costs of raw materials, labor, and production overheads. In contrast, the calculation using the variable costing method results in a lower production cost, amounting to Rp 314,690. Additionally, the uncertainty in the production quantity also affects the cost incurred. The higher the production quantity, the greater the cost incurred, which impacts the setting of selling prices and the desired profit by the weaver. Therefore, it is important for the weavers to consider efficiency in production planning in order to optimize costs and maximize profits. By understanding the differences between these two methods, the weavers are expected to make more accurate pricing decisions based on the current production conditions, ensuring better business sustainability.  

Food tourism is increasingly recognized as a strategic component in enhancing the competitiveness of tourism destinations, particularly thru the development of local cuisine based on local wisdom.

The results of this research contribute conceptually and practically to building sustainable digital-based culinary tourism strategies.

This study focuses on the development of pumpkin shortcake (Curcubita moschata) as a dessert innovation, utilizing the potential of Indonesia’s local food resources, which are highly nutritious and widely available. Pumpkin is well known for its high dietary fiber content that supports digestion, as well as its antioxidant properties that may reduce the risk of cancer and chronic diseases. While traditional shortcakes are commonly made with strawberries, this innovation aims to substitute conventional ingredients with pumpkin, thereby not only enhancing nutritional value but also supporting the local farming economy. The main objectives of this research are to identify the production process and formulation of pumpkin shortcake, evaluate consumer acceptance of the product, and analyze packaging and presentation strategies that enhance consumer appeal. The production process involved selection, washing, steaming, and pureeing of pumpkin, followed by weighing, mixing, molding, baking, cooling, filling, and cutting. The third experiment successfully produced a product that met all sensory criteria, including color, taste, texture, and aroma. A hedonic test involving 35 untrained panelists indicated that pumpkin shortcake with 25% liquid milk and 75% pumpkin (Code 731) was the most preferred, particularly in terms of taste and color, while the 50% milk and 50% pumpkin formulation (Code 281) was most favored for aroma and texture. The findings conclude that the formulation of pumpkin shortcake with 25% liquid milk and 75% pumpkin is the most accepted by consumers. Attractive packaging and presentation are also emphasized as essential strategies to enhance product appeal and market value.

This study aims to analyze the acceptability, nutritional content, and financial feasibility of processed food products based on kimpul flour (Xanthosoma sagittifolium) and milkfish (Chanos chanos) as a functional local food innovation with potential for development to support food security. Kimpul flour was selected as a substitute for wheat flour due to its complex carbohydrate content, low glycemic index, and dietary fiber beneficial for digestion. Milkfish was utilized as an economical animal protein source rich in omega-3 fatty acids and widely available in Indonesia. The developed products included milkfish risoles, milkfish satay lilit, and kimpul pancake with various substitution formulations, tested using an experimental laboratory method. A hedonic test was conducted with 30 semi-trained panelists to evaluate color, taste, aroma, and texture. Nutritional content was analyzed using the Fat Secret application, while financial feasibility was assessed through a two-year cash flow projection. The results indicated that kimpul flour substitution at 8% in risoles, 10% in satay lilit, and 50% in pancakes yielded the highest acceptability scores based on organoleptic evaluations favored by the panelists. Nutritional analysis demonstrated an increase in dietary fiber and a balanced macronutrient profile. Financial analysis showed that the business is feasible and profitable for development at the micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) scale. This study concludes that kimpul flour and milkfish have strong potential as functional food ingredients with high economic value.

The rapid development of urban areas has created significant challenges in mobility, particularly the increasing use of private motor vehicles, which contributes to traffic congestion, air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and a decline in the quality of urban life. Sustainable transportation emerges as a solution by emphasizing the balance between environmental, social, and economic aspects through the use of eco-friendly modes such as public transport, walking, and cycling. However, the adoption rate of these modes remains relatively low due to perceptions of convenience, car-oriented culture, and limited environmental awareness. This study aims to analyze the implementation of sustainable transportation education as a strategy to raise urban communities’ awareness of eco-friendly mobility. The research employs a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis based on literature studies. Findings indicate that the use of digital media, social campaigns, and community participation plays a crucial role in shaping positive attitudes, new social norms, and pro-environmental behavior. Effective education not only delivers information but also builds values, norms, and new habits that support sustainable mobility. Furthermore, multi-stakeholder collaboration among government, communities, and the private sector strengthens the effectiveness of educational programs. Evaluation results show that continuous education enhances transportation literacy, ecological awareness, and urban quality of life. Thus, the implementation of sustainable transportation education serves as a strategic foundation for transforming urban mobility toward a healthier, inclusive, and equitable transportation system.

The intervention involved training, mentoring, simulation practice, and monitoring–evaluation using participatory and human-centered approaches. Thirty cadres participated in the program. The results showed an improvement in cadres’ understanding of SDIDTK concepts, increased ability to conduct stimulation and screening using KPSP, and enhanced readiness to educate parents during Posyandu activities. This community-based approach successfully strengthened cadres’ competency and supported optimal child development monitoring in the community. The program is recommended to be continued through periodic mentoring and integration with local health programs.

The book Uqūd al-Lujjayn fī Bayān Ḥuqūq az-Zaujayn by Sheikh Nawawi al-Bantani is one of the classical texts that is very popular among Islamic boarding schools and the Muslim community of the archipelago. However, in contemporary discourse, this book is often the target of criticism from Muslim feminists who accuse it of being full of gender bias and patriarchal. This criticism arises because of discussions about the wife's obligation to obey her husband, the prohibition of leaving the house without permission, and the husband's permissibility to reprimand his wife who is considered nusyūz. This paper attempts to conduct a philological and hermeneutic analysis of the text Uqūd al-Lujjayn by reviewing the historical, methodological, and fiqh reference sources of Sheikh Nawawi al-Bantani. This study found that the patriarchal character in the book is pseudo (pseudo), not ideological. Sheikh Nawawi actually wrote this book within the tradition of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh akhlaqiyyah), not as a legitimation of male power over women. Through a philological approach, it was found that the text's structure and selection of hadith in this book aimed to educate household morals, not to reinforce the patriarchal system. Therefore, accusations of gender bias against Sheikh Nawawi require methodological reexamination to avoid falling into ahistorical ideological readings.

Divorce is a social phenomenon that is increasingly common and has various social, economic, and psychological impacts, especially for women as the most vulnerable party. Divorce not only results in changes in the legal status of husband and wife, but also affects the emotional condition and social well-being of women after the end of the marriage bond. From an Islamic legal perspective, the 'iddah period functions as a protection mechanism for women after divorce, which aims to maintain honor, ensure clarity of pregnancy conditions, and provide certainty of legal status. However, in practice there are conditions that resemble the 'iddah period without fully fulfilling the formal provisions of Islamic law, known as Syibhul 'Iddah, due to the unclear status of divorce or differences in legal interpretation. This concept has an important role in protecting women's rights, especially regarding livelihood, residence, and legal certainty after divorce. This study uses a library research method with a normative legal approach. Data were collected through a review of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, including the Qur'an and Hadith, Islamic jurisprudence literature, laws and regulations such as the Compilation of Islamic Law, and relevant journals and scholarly works. Data analysis was conducted qualitatively using descriptive-analytical methods to examine the concept of Syibhul 'Iddah and its implications for the protection of women's rights after divorce.  

Solid waste management in Makassar City constitutes a strategic issue that extends beyond technical and administrative concerns to encompass legal, ethical, and socioreligious dimensions. Although the local government has established regulatory frameworks and policy instruments for waste management, empirical conditions reveal a persistent gap between legal norms and their implementation, as reflected in high waste generation rates, weak source segregation, limited public participation, and increasing pressure on landfill capacity. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of waste management in Makassar City from the perspective of Islamic law and to examine the potential integration of Sharia principles in strengthening sustainable environmental governance. The research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design based on policy analysis, literature review, and theoretical synthesis of Islamic legal doctrines, particularly maqāṣid al-sharīʿah and fiqh al-bī’ah. The findings indicate that, despite the existence of adequate local legal instruments, waste management practices remain ineffective due to insufficient internalization of ethical values, weak law enforcement, and limited behavioral change within society. From the perspective of Islamic law, these conditions demonstrate the incomplete realization of the principles of amanah (trust and responsibility), maslahah (public interest), and the prevention of harm (lā ḍarar wa lā ḍirār) in both governmental practice and public conduct, thereby undermining the objectives of protecting human life and the environment. The implications of this research highlight the importance of synergizing positive law and Islamic legal principles to promote environmentally sustainable governance oriented toward long-term public welfare.
