Domestic Violence (DV) is a serious human rights violation, particularly affecting women as a vulnerable group. Gorontalo City has seen a significant rise in DV cases, reflecting weak prevention efforts and law enforcement. Although Law No. 23/2004 regulates the elimination of DV, its local implementation faces structural, cultural, and resource-related challenges. This study analyzes the effectiveness of DV law enforcement in Gorontalo and identifies key obstacles. Using an empirical juridical method with a qualitative approach, data were collected through field research, interviews with law enforcers, and document analysis. The findings reveal that despite procedural efforts, barriers such as low public legal awareness, partiality among officials, limited victim protection facilities, and patriarchal norms hinder effective enforcement. Law enforcement remains ineffective due to weak institutional synergy and victims’ reluctance to seek justice. The study recommends specialized training for law enforcers, strengthening integrated victim services, and intensive legal outreach to build a more responsive environment to DV issues.

Total cholesterol and HDL assessments are fundamental initial steps in evaluating the risk of cardiovascular disease. The ratio between total cholesterol and HDL is considered a sensitive indicator in predicting atherosclerotic events. Screening activities were carried out using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach in adult participants. The examination was carried out using the Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) tool to assess total cholesterol and HDL levels from blood samples. Education was provided through leaflets containing information about lipid profiles and the importance of dietary changes. A total of 62 participants took part in this activity, with an age range of 23 to 76 years and the majority were female. Most participants had total cholesterol levels in the normal category, but almost all participants had HDL levels that were classified as low or very low. This lipid profile imbalance indicates a significant potential cardiovascular risk. The screening results underscore the need for continuous education on healthy dietary habits as a primary prevention strategy. Nutritional interventions emphasizing reduced intake of saturated fats, increased fiber consumption, and controlled sugar intake can help restore lipid balance and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and long-term cardiovascular complications.

Hyperuricemia is a medical condition characterized by an increase in uric acid levels in the blood above normal limits, which can trigger various metabolic complications such as gouty arthritis, urate nephropathy, and cardiovascular disease. In the early stages, hyperuricemia is often asymptomatic, therefore routine investigation of uric acid level are an important step in early detection. The Community Service Program (PKM) implemented at the Asisi Church, Tebet District, aims to increase public awareness of the importance of early detection of hyperuricemia through blood uric acid level screening activities. This activity uses the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach, which includes capillary blood tests with Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) tools and education on risk factors, symptoms, and prevention of hyperuricemia. Of the 68 participants, all participants showed uric acid levels within the normal range. These results emphasize the importance of education and routine screening efforts to maintain uric acid levels within normal limits, prevent complications in the future, and build public awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle to maintain quality of life sustainably.

The current criminal law system is still oriented towards the perpetrator, with minimal protection for victims. Ideally, the law should prioritize justice for victims through a criminological and victimological approach. Therefore, legal reform, officer training, and integrated services are needed so that crime prevention is more effective and just. This study aims to explore the transformation of criminological and victimological perspectives that can be the basis for developing a crime prevention strategy based on victim protection.method uses a descriptive qualitative approach to explore the transformation of criminology and victimology perspectives in crime prevention strategies based on victim protection. Data were collected through literature studies and analyzed thematically. The results are expected to provide conceptual and practical recommendations to strengthen the legal system and social policies that are responsive to victims.The results of this study show that the transformation of criminological and victimological perspectives reflects a shift from a perpetrator-centric legal approach to a more holistic and victim-centric one. This integration strengthens the legal system and social policies to better protect, restore and empower victims, and to develop effective crime prevention strategies. With a more humane and restorative justice approach, this transformation becomes an important foundation for reducing crime rates and forming responsive and sustainable public policies.

Cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of mortality among women, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia, where prevalence is high and early detection is often delayed. This study aims to identify and synthesize the major risk factors for cervical cancer through a systematic review of both national and international literature. The core problem addressed is the lack of a comprehensive and context-relevant risk framework for Indonesian women, resulting in suboptimal preventive interventions. The proposed method is a qualitative descriptive literature review, analyzing 15 selected scientific articles based on defined inclusion criteria. Key findings indicate that age ≥35 years, high parity, early sexual activity, smoking habits, prolonged use of hormonal contraceptives, low educational attainment, and physically demanding occupations are significant determinants of increased cervical cancer risk. The synthesis of ideas shows that biological, behavioral, social, and environmental factors interact in complex ways to influence vulnerability to cervical cancer. This study concludes that cervical cancer prevention requires a multidimensional approach that integrates education, routine screening, and increased public awareness of modifiable risk factors. The findings are expected to inform more effective and context-sensitive health policy development in Indonesia.

The function of Prosecutorial Intelligence (Intel Kejaksaan) holds a crucial strategic role, not only in supporting prosecution duties but also in crime prevention, safeguarding national development, and recovering state assets. Despite having a strong legal basis and a broad mandate, this function often faces operational challenges, data integration issues, and resource optimization constraints that limit its effectiveness within the dynamic law enforcement ecosystem. This research aims to deeply analyze the role and challenges of Prosecutorial Intelligence and formulate a model for optimizing its function to enhance the effectiveness of law enforcement in Indonesia. The research methodology employed is normative and sociological juridical with a qualitative approach, gathering data through literature review, regulatory study, and in-depth interviews with practitioners and academics. The findings indicate that the optimization of the Prosecutorial Intelligence function requires three main pillars: (1) Enhancing the capacity and professionalism of human resources (HR) through modern intelligence training and digital forensics. (2) Integrating and ensuring interoperability of the intelligence information system with other law enforcement agencies (Police, KPK, PPATK) to build a comprehensive intelligence big data. (3) Expanding the spectrum of intelligence operations, shifting from a traditional focus on corruption crimes to transnational crimes, cybercrime, and securing strategic national investments. This optimization is expected to transform Prosecutorial Intelligence into a proactive, data-oriented strategic early warning system capable of supporting Prosecutors in making evidence-based decisions, thus achieving effective, just, and impactful law enforcement for the community.

Early marriage is a reproductive health issue that remains a challenge in various regions of Indonesia, requiring effective educational interventions for adolescents. This study aims to analyze the role of midwives in reproductive health education as an effort to delay early marriage among adolescents at the Dambalo Community Health Center (UPTD Puskesmas Dambalo). The study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach and involved 30 adolescents selected through total sampling. The variables examined included the role of midwives, knowledge, attitudes, and intentions to delay marriage. Data were collected through a standardized questionnaire and analyzed using Spearman's and Chi-square tests. The results showed that the role of midwives was significantly associated with an increase in adolescents' knowledge (r = 0.579; p = 0.0008). However, no relationship was found between the role of midwives and adolescent attitudes (r = 0.264; p = 0.158). Regarding the variable of intention, all respondents (100%) expressed a desire to delay marriage until the age of ≥ 20 years, so statistical analysis could not be performed. These findings confirm that midwife education is effective in increasing adolescent knowledge, but changes in attitudes and intentions are influenced by other social factors that have been established previously. A collaborative approach between midwives, families, and schools is needed to strengthen comprehensive prevention of early marriage.

This study explores the ethical perspectives of genetic editing from two distinct frameworks: Islamic bioethics and global medical ethics. Both ethical systems emphasize the protection of human dignity and the prevention of harm, aligning with the broader goal of promoting health. However, significant differences emerge when addressing the issue of genetic editing, particularly in relation to human procreation. While global bioethics focuses on universal human rights, Islamic bioethics introduces religious principles rooted in Sharia law, such as Maqasid al-Sharia (objectives of Sharia) and Maslahah (public interest), to guide the ethical evaluation of genetic technologies. The findings reveal that while both frameworks agree on the importance of medical necessity, the treatment-enhancement distinction plays a critical role in Islamic perspectives, leading to more cautious stances on genetic modifications aimed at enhancing non-medical traits. The study also underscores the cultural and regional variations in Islamic bioethics, reflecting how different Islamic schools of thought impact fatwa decisions on genetic editing. In comparison, global bioethics aims to establish universal principles, often focusing on human rights, equality, and equity. The paper concludes by recommending more inclusive discussions between Islamic scholars and global bioethicists to bridge the gap between religious ethics and global standards. This would help ensure that genetic technologies are applied ethically, respecting both cultural values and universal human rights, and addressing the challenges posed by emerging genetic technologies.

The golden period in the first two years of a child's life can be achieved optimally if supported by proper nutritional intake from birth.

From the results of the evaluation and discussion, participants enthusiastically asked about herbs around their homes and people were willing to plant herbs in their yards.

Mild anemia in pregnant women remains a common health problem at the primary healthcare level and may negatively affect both maternal health and fetal development. One non-pharmacological approach to managing anemia is the utilization of local food sources rich in iron, such as spinach. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of spinach extract in increasing hemoglobin levels among pregnant women with mild anemia at Poskesdes Wiritasi. This study employed a quasi-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest approach without a control group. The sample consisted of 30 pregnant women diagnosed with mild anemia who were selected through purposive sampling. The intervention involved the regular administration of spinach extract for 14 consecutive days. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after the intervention using a standard hemoglobin testing device. Data were analyzed to assess differences in hemoglobin levels before and after the intervention. The results showed a significant increase in hemoglobin levels following the administration of spinach extract. These findings indicate that spinach extract has a positive effect on improving hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with mild anemia. Therefore, spinach extract may serve as an effective, safe, and easily applicable local food–based nutritional intervention for the prevention and management of mild anemia among pregnant women at the village healthcare level.

Stunting is one of the nutritional problems that still occurs in Indonesia. Stunting treatment does not only refer to medical and nutritional aspects, but is also influenced by social and cultural factors, including the social stigma inherent in families with stunted children. This study aims to examine the forms of social stigma against stunting and its impact on prevention and handling efforts in Santur Village. A descriptive qualitative approach was used in this study with an in-depth interview method with parents, posyandu cadres, local health workers, and village officials. The results of the study show that stigma in the form of negative labeling and feelings of shame often hinder parents from accessing health services and being open to information related to child nutrition. This information shows the importance of a community-based approach that not only focuses on the medical aspect, but also targets changes in people's social views on stunting. By overcoming social stigma, it is hoped that efforts to prevent and handle stunting can run more effectively and comprehensively.

Zodia leaves (Evodia suaveolens) are endemic plants of Indonesia originating from Papua, widely known for their natural mosquito-repelling properties. Traditionally, local communities use these leaves by rubbing them directly onto the skin to avoid mosquito and insect bites. Zodia leaves contain active compounds that produce a distinctive aroma disliked by mosquitoes, making them an effective natural repellent. One of the diseases transmitted by mosquitoes is malaria, which attacks human red blood cells and is spread through the bite of Anopheles mosquitoes. A high population of mosquito larvae and adults in an area increases the risk of malaria transmission. Although vector control is commonly carried out using synthetic insecticides that provide rapid results, these chemicals may lead to negative effects such as insecticide resistance in mosquitoes and environmental pollution. Therefore, safer and more sustainable alternatives for vector control are urgently needed. The use of zodia leaves as a natural mosquito repellent is considered effective and environmentally friendly. This potential should be further explored as an alternative solution in the prevention of vector-borne diseases, particularly malaria, using an approach that prioritizes public health and environmental sustainability.
